City seeks limits on requests for information Claims resources stretched, but former commissioner calls move ‘outrageous’ Roszan Holmen News staff

The City of Victoria has taken steps to limit the ability of a local media outlet from accessing municipal records, an unusual move that is drawing criticism from freedom-of-information experts.

On Aug. 7, the city applied to the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for British Columbia to cap the number of requests for information made by three individuals associated with Focus Magazine, and anyone working on their behalf.

If granted, the magazine’s team would collectively be limited to one active request at a time, including the time to resolve any appeal. Given the average processing time for requests, magazine publisher David Broadland estimates the move would limit him to three or four requests per year.

For its part, the city claims requests for information by Focus are “repetitious,” “systemic” and place an unreasonable burden on the city’s limited resources.

It’s an argument media lawyer David Sutherland doesn’t swallow.

“Typically what takes significant time is the assessment of the potential for political damage from the information itself,” he said.

It’s an important issue Canadians ought to care more about, Sutherland added. Freedom of information legislation is a significant part of democracy and the rights of citizens, he said.

Noted muralist Frank Lewis with a few of his paintings in his home in Saanich. His recent donation of a piece to the Royal Jubilee Hospital celebrates his Métis hertitage, but may be the final work of public art in a colourful career.

A lifetime of art Frank Lewis recalls his many works Daniel Palmer News staff

“My people will sleep for 100 years, but when they awake, it will be the artists who give their spirit back.”

Louis Riel didn’t know it at the time, but he was talking about Frank Lewis.

Standing six-foot-six, with blue eyes and a full head of white hair, Lewis knows the hardship and joy of being Métis.

On Sept. 20, he presented an

elaborate painting portraying that dichotomy to the Royal Jubilee Hospital Patient Care Centre, where it will hang in the All Nations Healing Room.

“This painting represents the culmination of a 65-year career,” Lewis told a crowd at the unveiling.

It is likely to be his last public work in a remarkable career that leaves a legacy across the country in multiple genres, from painting to acting to graphic design.

He graduated from Oak Bay High in 1952 and attended the Vancouver School of Art – now the Emily Carr University of Art and Design – on

a scholarship before he moved to Toronto.

He quickly established himself as a skilled graphic designer at CBC television and in some of North America’s biggest advertising studios, winning numerous industry awards between 1957 and 1964.

In the underground music scene in Toronto and Montreal, he befriended the likes of Cannonball Adderley and Chico Hamilton, while designing album artwork and posters for many of the future legends of jazz.

VicPD releases report on department’s resources Daniel Palmer News staff

A criminologist’s review of Victoria Police Department resources has resulted in the immediate reassignment of 10 of its 243 officers to understaffed sections.

University of the Fraser Valley criminologist Daryl Plecas presented his report to VicPD, Victoria and Esquimalt councillors in June, but details were only released Monday.

The eliminated positions include two school resource officers, two youth investigators, two day shift patrol cars, one regional domestic violence unit investigator, one focused enforcement team, one community resource officer and one crime prevention sergeant position. “The approach we took through this was we weren’t going to eliminate any programs or sections,� said Dep. Chief John Ducker. “We decided to draw a little bit from different departments.�

VicPD also plans to regionalize its communications centre with the RCMP, invest in technology upgrades, increase one-person patrol units and ask city hall to fund a second civilian crime analyst. An efficiency review of VicPD will be undertaken in the next year to further identify how the department can cut costs. dpalmer@vicnews.com

A

s Capt. Stephen Green (retired) walks through the museum of the Canadian Scottish Regiment (Princess Mary’s) at the Bay Street Armoury, his pride in the regiment and its long history is apparent.

He points out the various artifacts on display in the museum, stressing that these are not just a collection of kilts, medals, swords and firearms. Rather, they are a testament to the more than 20,000 Greater Victoria residents who have been part of the regiment since its creation 100 years ago.

“These aren’t just souvenirs,” Green says. “These bits and pieces were used by real people.

“They carried these things with them, sometimes into battle. This is what’s left … and it helps us to remember the real people who sacrificed their talents, energy and often their lives to protect the country they loved.”

It’s appropriate that the selfless legacy of service and sacrifice to which Green refers is remembered on the 100th anniversary of the Canadian Scottish Regiment.

“When the regiment was formed in 1912, 200 men immediately volunteered. By 1914, when the Great War broke out, thousands had joined. This was at a time when … I’m not sure what the population of Victoria was … but it wasn’t very big. Yet all these men volunteered,” he says.

Photos of smiling soldiers and muddy battlefields are displayed in giant panels in the museum.

“These were very brave men,” Green says.

As a testament to that bravery, the museum also houses a host of medals and some of the 42 battle honours awarded to the regiment, including four Victoria Crosses, the nation’s highest military decoration for bravery. In an adjacent display case sits a large white cross, originally placed at Vimy Ridge, and a plaque that lists the names of the men of the regiment who fell in that battle.

As rich as the history of the regiment might be, Green says it’s not just the past that should be celebrated in its centennial year.

“The service continues – that’s the real story. This regiment is the embodiment of our community. It represents the commitment that our population has to standing by the principles of our freedom. They are all volunteers and always have been.”

At present, about 250 soldiers serve as reservists in the regiment, but they are anything but weekend warriors. They undergo constant training for the realities of today’s military, including the increasing incidence of urban warfare in civilian environments.

Members of the Canadian Scottish are also deployed to operations around the world. They leave their families and jobs behind to go off and serve.

More than 65 soldiers from the regiment have served in Afghanistan and in June of 2008, Capt. Robert Peel was awarded the Medal of Military Valour for action in that country.

“We’re proud of our past,” Green says. “But we’re just as proud of our soldiers today.” reporter@vicnews.com

Fin not finished with shark-fin industry fight Mainland MP makes case during UBCM meetings for bill banning shark fins Daniel Palmer News staff

City councillors from across the province spent the week in Victoria discussing issues ranging from the legalization of marijuana to Internet voting.

But perhaps the most enthusiastic support coming out of the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference is for Lower Mainland NDP MP Fin Donnelly’s push to ban the importation of shark fin products to Canada.

Alongside Victoria Coun. Charlayne ThorntonJoe and other municipal politicians, Donnelly held a press conference at Ship Point on Tuesday to raise public awareness of his federal bill and convince members of the Conservative Party to support it.

“We’re anticipating the bill to come forward late this year, or early next year, so that gives us some time to still let the members of Parlia“At a local level ment know across the country how imporit’s about working tant it is that they with the Chinese vote for the ban of shark fin in Canada,” restaurants.”

Donnelly said.

– Victoria Coun.

Thornton-Joe Charlayne Thornton-Joe brought a motion forward last February to Victoria council to support Donnelly’s bill, but said the city is not considering a bylaw to ban the sale of shark-fin products at this time.

“If we can have the province ban shark fins as well, those are the best bets in trying to resolve the problem. But at a local level, it’s about education and working with the Chinese restaurants,” she said.

Thornton-Joe said a local ban on shark-fin products would still be considered if higher levels of government do not act.

Vancouver Coun. Kerry Jang, who has spearheaded the ban of shark-fin products in Metro Vancouver, said the municipalities of Vancouver, Richmond and Burnaby are working together to produce an amalgamated ban.

“Otherwise, it’s too easy to jump across a bridge to another jurisdiction,” he said, adding that the joint bans will likely happen at the end of next year.

“We wanted to give restaurants and shops that sell shark fin time to adjust,” Jang said. “We just didn’t want to go cold turkey on them, because that would just cause a huge upset.”

Along with Jang and Thornton-Joe, councillors from Port Moody, Coquitlam and Abbotsford were present to offer their support for the federal bill.

Fin Free Victoria members from Glenlyon Norfolk and St. Margaret’s schools were also on hand.

“When people get educated about the issue, there really is no hesitation to support it,” Donnelly said.

While the decision came after the News’ deadline, the UBCM was expected to pass a resolution supporting a provincial ban on the sale of shark-fin products.

The United Nations Environmental Program estimates up to 73 million sharks are killed each year for fin harvesting. Due to that rate of harvesting, they estimate that shark populations have dropped by 90 per cent in the Gulf of Mexico and Mediterranean Sea in the last 15 years. dpalmer@vicnews.com

PEERS Victoria is fighting hard to keep its doors open to some of the Capital Region’s most vulnerable people.

In the past three years, the non-profit organization, which helps more than 500 sex workers each year, has seen its monthly provincial funding shrivel from $32,000 to $6,000.

“Our bare-bones budget is $16,000 a month, but we’re continuing to operate on our $6,000 funding because we believe there will be a way to get through this,” said PEERS executive director Marion Little.

The funding shortage is a result of the provincial government’s shift in April from annual grants to a fee-for-service system, where non-profits must apply for individual program grants and register their users in an integrated system.

“We’re not willing to hustle our clients. People can come through our door and receive unconditional welcome,” Little said. “They don’t need to give us their name or social insurance number and can get a hot meal, see a doctor, shower and get clean clothes.”

Historically, PEERS has employed former sex workers to mentor new users. But with a reduction in staff hours, that mentorship model has been postponed due to a lack of supervision, Little said.

“We work with street-involved people, as well as those who are working at escort agencies, ensuring they have access to medical care and can ask the

The organization delivers programs ranging from computer literacy courses to abuse and trauma workshops.

Little spoke at the Esquimalt council meeting Monday. She pleaded with councillors to include PEERS in its annual list of permissive tax exemptions, after the non-profit inadvertently missed the application deadline.

“A tax exemption is about $10,000 a year to us. That’s a big deal,” she said.

Council was sympathetic to Little, who explained 60 to 70 per cent of PEERS users live in Esquimalt, while the majority of other users live along the township’s boundaries.

Councillors Dave Hodgins and Tim Morrison opposed the inclusion of PEERS in tax exemptions, reasoning that council needs to take a stand against the downloading of costs from higher levels of government. “The more we step in to fill that void, the

more downloading will occur,” Hodgins told council.

While Mayor Barb Desjardins agreed that cost downloading is a problem, she said the one-year tax exemption will give PEERS a chance to source out new funding. “This is a group that are situated in Esquimalt, and they are a group that are going to come out and participate at the Celebration of Lights and are involved in other events,” she said.

Council approved permissive tax exemptions for 14 organizations worth nearly $78,000 at a time when it desperately needs to balance its budget.

Coun. Meagan Brame indicated council will need to reduce the number of tax exemptions it doles out for next year’s budget to help share anticipated costs, including the expected $200 to $300 per household hit for the Capital Regional District’s $782million secondary sewage treatment project. dpalmer@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW

Policing money a long way off Last week’s renewed call for regional financial assistance for policing by Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin, assisted by Esquimalt Mayor Barbara Desjardins, sounded rather familiar.

Back in 2004 or so, the City of Victoria was asking for financial help to operate its yetto-be completed new arena. Relatively few municipalities in the Capital Region agreed with the city’s premise that the facility was a regional structure that would be used by members of the greater community.

Today, those jurisdictions’ financial help has evaporated, with most facing financial challenges of their own or building their own facilities to meet the demand.

The policing situation is slightly different.

Victoria mayors past and present have argued that the population of the city essentially doubles every day, as people from other municipalities commute to work. While that may be true, these people aren’t generally the ones causing the extra workload for Victoria police officers.

Regardless of how suburban civic politicians might see it, downtown Victoria continues to be the primary gathering point for regional activities, from July 1 celebrations to any outdoor event involving the legislature. And it is also the hub for social services in the region.

Both come with their own set of problems.

While VicPD gets assistance from other local departments for the major events, taxpayers in the city of Victoria pay more per capita for policing than any other municipality in the Capital Region. Not only that, the caseload for Victoria officers is highest in the region and far higher than the national average.

That shows a need to better apportion the cost of policing in the city. It could take somehow separating the cost of regional events from the main police budget, then putting a proportional charge on property tax statements. Regardless, we know Victoria’s pleas for help will fall on deaf ears in municipalities facing severe budget crunches.

It’s going to take action by the province – as it did with policing for Esquimalt – to change the way things work. Victoria needs to understand, however, that change can take a long time.

entire no-car districts in their historic centres.

A national no-driving day didn’t seem outrageous to them, but I know it would never fly in Canada.

Business interests are much too important to shut down all traffic for a day – and rightly so.

By comparison, Bolivia has a strong tradition of putting business interests behind other quality-of-life issues.

For instance, Día del peatón (day of the pedestrian) started 11 years ago in Cochabamba, a city made famous for kicking out a private water company that both invested heavily in building a dam, but also dramatically raised water rates for the people.

In June of this year, Bolivia nationalized the Colquiri mine, despite protests by mining company Glencore, which operated the mine previously.

Depending on your world view, Bolivia’s government could be seen as a brave defender of human rights, or naïve about the importance of foreign investment to the economy.

I’m not suggesting we follow its lead, but maybe take a bit of inspiration from its fearless stance.

Imagine, for instance, a summerlong closure of Government Street and the hoards of people who would inevitably flock there to enjoy the pedestrian-only space.

It doesn’t sound like such a bold move, once put in a global context.

Bus-only lanes wouldn’t solve congestion problems The Capital Regional District has been considering bus-only lanes between Victoria and West Shore. When are our elected officials going to realize that we only have two highways to West Shore – two lanes each way on the Island Highway and one on the Old Island Highway.

To eliminate one lane and use it for buses only will add traffic onto one lane on a highway that is close to gridlock now with two. This may allow faster travel times for buses, but it will create complete chaos for drivers.

Meanwhile our elected officials talk of future rapid transit, which we all know will take years to

build and implement. However, we still have the E&N, rusty and unused, which could be utilized almost immediately with the infusion of $2 million to $3 million.

We don’t need anything pretentious to start with, despite statements being made that it would be too costly. Already we have stopping points in Langford, View Royal and Vic West.

The mayor of Langford is on record stating that future growth along Langford Lake would be railway friendly. Two passenger cars operating with the same fare structure as buses, with park and rides along the way

and connecting buses, would eliminate much of the present gridlock.

Does this sound too complicated? I think not. It is being done all over America and Europe, so why not Victoria? Or is Victoria too old-fashioned to utilize common sense?

Patrick O. Hind View Royal

High-occupany vehicle lanes accomplish little Believe it or not, I’m happy that the CRD Business and Residential Taxpayers Association is ferreting into light-rail transit numbers.

However, their research has a flawed assumption: that high-occupancy vehicle lanes accomplish anything.

Two California researchers with very impressive resumes analyzed these diamond roadways in that state’s Bay Area from 2000 to 2004. Their conclusion: “The analysis presented here suggests that in the Bay Area, instead of improving mobility, HOV lanes exacerbate the congestion problem: HOV lanes suffer a capacity drop of 400 vehicles/ hour; they increase congestion overall; they do not significantly increase the throughput of people

and they do not encourage carpooling.”

A depressing aspect of Capital Regional District transportation numbers is that nothing has changed in 10 years. According to the CRD’s household travel survey, there’s been next to no growth in the number of people walking, cycling or using transit.

The German city of Freiburg, with a smaller population than Victoria, proves it’s possible to increase the market share of non-automotive forms of transportation and reduce congestion and air pollution.

Readers respond: NHL lockout, ARESST, The Land Conservancy, crosswalks Housing solution to NHL lockout The real tragedy of the National Hockey League lockout is the impact on small businesses owners and their minimum wage employees. Their loss of income exacerbates the already unprecedented poverty and homelessness in both Canada and the U.S. There’s a reasonable solution, players and owners, to your disagreement over how to divide the NHL’s increased revenues, especially given that you have more than enough money to live luxurious lives and to take care of your families for generations to come.

Stay on your current salaries and do something useful with those added revenues you’re coveting – eradicate homelessness. The extra money is there, your new investment will reap financial benefits, your humanitarianism will make you feel good and the people you help house eventually will have the resources to participate in, or at least watch, your sport.

It’s a victory for the owners, a victory for the players and an actual life for the homeless.

And you can call yourselves, with pride, the National Housing League.

Paul Austin Victoria

ARESST member clarifies group’s position Re: Victoria anti-treatment advocates push back with awareness campaign (News online) To start, members of the Association for Responsible and Environmentally Sustainable Sewage Treatment (ARESST) would like to make everyone aware that our group is very much pro-treatment.

ARESST advocates for keeping Victoria’s current system of natural, marine-based treatment of Victoria’s wastewater. It is a method of treatment that is cheaper, less complex and produces far less greenhouse gases than the land-based treatment system the Capital Regional District is foisting upon Greater Victoria against the will of a majority of residents.

I would like to also make the writer, Mr. Palmer, aware that our wastewater currently is screened, not filtered, before it is pumped

into the outfalls, and that the CRD’s project intends to dig up Victoria neighbourhoods and waterfront to bury a total of 44 kilometres of pipelines, not just 17 km.

Environmentalists missing the point I was a member of The Land Conservancy back when the board made the correct decision to remove Bill Turner from his position for the reasons that you reported at the time.

But when he convinced enough people to have him reinstated, I, along with who knows how many others, ceased to be a member.

So it will be interesting to know how much deeper TLC’s financial predicament is now, as a result of “impossible” actions being taken to save even more properties.

What also now interests me is the singular lack of understanding that environmentalists, in their zeal to protect land and animals, seem to have for the economic well-being of their fellow citizens.

So, I no longer support any of them financially because they frighten me with some of their

more dogmatic pronouncements.

But pipelines don’t. They are all over this country. Have been for ages, and the benefits to the quality of life for the people of this whole nation, and not just Albertans, are simply monumental.

Drivers need to heed crosswalk activity

way to George Jay elementary, barely two blocks away.

If there is money for traffic calming measures hardly anybody wants in Beacon Hill Park, then there should be money for situations where it is needed.

Would the city rather save a squirrel or a child’s life?

So drivers, please pay attention to all and every crosswalk. And to pedestrians? Wear bright clothes.

Petra Gerard Victoria

While I am sure there are many crosswalks where pedestrians face problems, I want to talk about the crosswalk at Bay and Chambers streets.

Five or six cars going by without stopping is, sadly, not a rarity, it’s actually the norm.

While it is not well marked – a pedestrian-controlled light would make all the difference – it is not impossible to see if you would pay attention (and that includes you, driving the City of Victoria van last Thursday morning).

Maybe you could ask yourself why the car in the opposite lane has stopped? And just because you can’t see the school, it doesn’t mean that there isn’t one and school children do cross at that particular crosswalk on their

Norwegian tanker M/T Champion has been snared in the long, albeit slow arm of Canadian law for alleged illegal dumping in the Pacific Ocean more than two years ago.

The ship belongs to Champion Tankers A/S of Norway. No one appeared in Victoria provincial court Sept. 20 to face four charges related to illegal dumping at sea.

Robert Ruzic, the ship, Champion Tankers and its parent company, Champion Shipping A/S, are named on two charges of improper disposal of a substance at sea, and two charges of improper deposit of sub-

stances harmful to migratory birds.

The ship allegedly dumped fish oil and an unidentified “oily substance” about 250 kilometres west of Vancouver Island, in waters frequented by migratory birds, and within the exclusive economic zone of Canada, according to court documents.

The document doesn’t indicate how much liquid the ship is accused of dumping. All charges are dated July 29, 2010, and were sworn by federal Crown in July this year.

Agent for the Crown, Rick Fowler, told the court the case was “unusual" and that the ship probably never landed in Canada. He noted it wasn’t surprising that representation for

Champion Tankers’ website said the company has 11 tanker vessels and transports vegetable oils, palm oils, molasses and clean petroleum products.

As a final farewell to a venue that has hosted everything from a bluegrass music club to Brazilian capoeira classes to an old-style Anglican Church, one last concert is being held on Sunday (Sept. 30) featuring local singer-songwriter Paul Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I saw that it was closing I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;this is the last day available and I want to book it,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said concert organizer Joan Athey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paul came to mind because he was the first person I saw perform at the hall in 2007.â&#x20AC;?

The hall has been sold and will be developed as a private residence. It was previously a temporary home to St. Markâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Traditional Anglican Church.

The afternoon musical celebration is open to anyone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; bringing an instrument is encouraged â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and is a fundraiser for Slow Food Vancouver Island. The non-profit group will supply snacks for those who attend.

Athey plans to pass around a book to get people to jot down their stories about the hall, and will likely video the finale, then pass the good will on to the new owners.

It was unclear whether any of the original building will remain. Regardless, Athey said, the Orange Hall will go out in style. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not even the building, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more like the spirit of everything thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happened there,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With one final jam, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a fitting finale for a place that has contributed so much to the community.â&#x20AC;? editor@vicnews.com

One last jam A final concert/jam session happens at the Orange Hall, 1620 Fernwood Rd. Start time is 2 p.m. and the featured performer is Paul Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien.

Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Advance tickets are available at orangehallfarewell. eventbrite.com.

Art show features the finest in First Nations culture Wide variety of works on display in Sidney

Artist Virgil Sampson paints a drum at his home in Central Saanich as he prepares for the upcoming First Nations and Métis Art Show and Sale.

Kyle Wells News staff

Art is a window into a culture, a history and a community.

Virgil Sampson is one of the local First Nations artists taking part in the Fourth Annual Invitational First Nations and Métis Art Show and Sale.

Sampson makes Native-designed drums of a variety of sizes, along with limited prints and some smaller items. Creativity flows in Sampson’s family, and Sampson, in part, learned to make drums from his brother, John.

“The drums have always been a big part of our culture for a lot of spiritual reasons – healing and honouring, different kinds of ceremonies,” Sampson said. “A lot of our people are starting to turn towards artwork. … It’s an awesome way of practising who you are as a Native person, to exercise what has been passed down from year to year, generation to generation.”

Sampson also helps by providing guidance for the organizers and recruiting artists for the show, which is held to highlight the best in First Nations art. The event takes place at the Arts Centre at Tulista Park, 9565 Fifth St., in Sidney and is hosted by

Sharon Tiffin/News staff

the Community Arts Council of the Saanich Peninsula.

Representing all First Nations people designated by the federal government is a mandate for the show. Along with artists from local Coast Salish territories, this

year’s show will also feature artisans from the Métis, Mohawk, Blackfoot, Cree, Ojibway, Navajo, Inuit and Chickasaw Nations.

“There’s so many artists that are in this area, it changes almost every year,” Sampson said. “It’s a lot of fun.”

A variety of different mediums will be presented including carving, knitted items, drums, silver pieces, beads, cedar weavings and more.

“It’s a really good show,” Sampson said.

“People that are collectors and are semiserious collectors can come and meet the artists.”

Through the show, artists are given the chance to share their heritage, history and culture with others through their art, Sampson said. The public is in turn given the opportunity to learn more about First Nation’s culture – including everything from the importance of drumming to the use of cedar. “(There are many) spiritual meanings that go behind our designs and carving and images,” Sampson said. “It brings a better understanding to other cultures of our culture.”

Some artists will be working on-site and providing demonstrations for visitors.

The gallery itself is set up to reflect the intent and spirit of the event. There will be music played and stories told to add ambiance.

This year’s show is shorter than in years past. It runs from Friday, Sept. 28 to Sunday, Oct. 21.

The show is open from Tuesday to Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Entry is free. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Songbirds take flight Laura Lavin News staff

Emerging artist Richard Wong has his first solo show during October at the Island Blue Art Store, 905 Fort St. Beginning Oct. 1 his Songbirds of Victoria series will show at the store, and Wong himself will be on display Oct. 13 between 1 and 3 p.m. demonstrating his art and meeting the public.

Wong, who began painting less than two years ago, uses a special process to prepare the masa paper, which is a form of rice paper, on which he paints. The masa paper is then pasted onto a canvas frame.

“Apparently, what I am doing is rare,” said Wong.

“I did a quick Google search of masa paper paintings, and there are only a few people teaching this technique anywhere.”

He learned the technique from Judi Pedder, an artist based in Comox.

“What I like about this technique is that it gives the paintings a delicate, batik look. The preparation process adds depth to the painting without me having to do too much more, other than paint in the image,” he said.

Wong’s songbirds are created using a mixture of Oriental brush and water colour technique and were a hit at the Esquimalt Arts Festival on Aug. 12.

“Many people came looking for me there and were happy to see my art,” said Wong.

“It’s been one of those journeys that seems endless. I knock on a door and when it opens up what’s on the other side is amazing. I guess I will just continue to knock on those doors – I just have to have a peek behind and see what’s there.”

Wong’s art can also be seen at The Gallery in

Lewis’ story unfolds

Friday, September 28, 2012 - VICTORIA

Continued from Page A1

“You could go to the Pilot Tavern (in Toronto), sit down, and for 35 cents a beer, watch Thelonius Monk playing on the stand,” Lewis said.

As the golden years of bebop faded, so too did Lewis’ drive to produce meaningful art.

“It was a lot of fun, but I wasn’t going anywhere,” he said.

He kept painting by undertaking a

government-commissioned project to promote Canadian art.

“I painted a boxcar for the B.C. government. It was a silly idea,” he said, recalling his agent’s initial attempt to lobby the federal government on the idea of funding a travelling art train.

“We got a letter back from (thenprime minister Lester) Pearson that said, ‘No self-respecting artist would paint on a boxcar.’”

The B.C. government, led at the time by W.A.C. Bennett, jumped at the chance for publicity and commissioned Lewis after Pearson’s letter was picked up by the national media.

The “silly idea” toured North America for two years and was featured in the New York Times and Maclean’s Magazine, among others.

In 1967, Lewis earned a spot as a young Indian boy on the debut of George Ryga’s play, The Ecstacy of Rita Joe, at the Vancouver Playhouse.

Two years later, the play opened the studio theatre of the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, where Lewis mingled with the country’s elite and artists alike.

“I sat down with Chief Dan George, Jean Chrétien and Pierre Trudeau and talked about the Indian Act,” Lewis said, recalling nights out on the town with Trudeau.

“He took my girlfriend away,” he said, laughing.

In the mid 70s, Lewis landed in Cumberland, B.C., where he briefly worked as editorial cartoonist for the now-defunct Comox Free Press.

He recalled cycling through town in the middle of the night to meet the paper’s 3 a.m. print deadlines.

It took a visit from an old Toronto friend in 1982 to reawaken Lewis to his ambitions.

“We had gone to the bar, and on the way home, there was a dog sleeping in the middle of the road,” he said. “So we lay down beside the dog and said, ‘Our careers have come to this.’ I had won the graphic designers award, illustrator of the year, and there we were, laying in

the middle of the road with a dog.”

He began accepting commissions for murals, first illustrating Cumberland’s coal mining history on the inside of a local general store in exchange for a small stipend and free groceries.

He then completed a five-by20-metre mural of the Gumboot Navy for the Vancouver Maritime Museum to much fanfare, solidifying his reputation as a world-class painter.

“I had newspaper headlines and I was thinking, ‘I don’t mind success, but why give me so much so quickly?’ It was really hard to deal with right away,” he said.

He met his current wife, Margaret Parker, at their 40th high school reunion in 1992.

“She was a high school sweetheart, and it was love at first sight,” he said.

Lewis has since produced 20 major public artworks, including the Burnside Gorge Community Mural on the Galloping Goose Trail in 2006.

He and Parker have travelled the world. In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Lewis completed a mural for the boardroom of the Canadian High Commission, while Parker helped develop an architectural and art school.

They now live in Saanich, their home filled with Lewis’ dearest work. His blue eyes light up as he recalls all that connects him with his Métis heritage.

“We’re everywhere, but not together,” he said. “That spirituality is still in me, and has been all through my career.” dpalmer@vicnews.com

Historian unearths Oak Bay’s roots

BEST PRICE | BEST QUALITY BEST SERVICE

Tim Collins

With a $3,000 purchase

News staff

Ben Clinton-Baker is passionate about history.

He is currently completing a masters thesis in history at the University of Victoria. In 2002 he travelled to the U.K. in search of his family history, a quest that led him as far back as the 1800s and then to his roots in the Norman settlements of Great Britain.

“I didn’t quite find any royalty in my family tree, but it was close,” he says with a smile. “I wanted to know where I came from, how my family came to the British colony on Vancouver Island from the U.K. It was a search for my own roots.”

Roots are very important to Clinton-Baker. He assembled and recently exhibited a series of archival photos, explanatory text panels and representative artifacts of a bygone agricultural period in Oak Bay in a display entitled Roots.

While many of the photos were from the Oak Bay archives, some came from private collections.

“It’s amazing what people have out there. These records of the past are priceless. …

They truly represent our heritage.”

Clinton-Baker has worked tirelessly to help preserve that heritage in other ways as well.

He is a member of both the Oak Bay Heritage Commission and the Heritage Foundation.

“My interest in Oak Bay’s heritage was really sparked by conversations that I had with my grandfather about what the municipality was like when he was a boy,” he says. “He was born and raised here and he remembers walking from Cadboro Bay Road to Willows Beach and crossing nothing but open fields of farmland.”

Things have changed since then, but his grandfather’s stories had an impact.

“My grandfather inspired me.

It’s not that he’s necessarily nostalgic for those times, but he

Ben Clinton-Baker stands in Uplands Park, where he discovered the foundation of a Hudson’s Bay Company building. gave me an appreciation of the value of knowing our history.

He taught me that heritage is a fundamental pillar of the community – any community for that matter.”

It’s a lesson that ClintonBaker has taken to heart and one that he is trying to instill in others.

“It’s important that we discover and appreciate the heritage sites that remain. Sometimes we can have something right in front of us without having an appreciation of its significance.”

An example of that lack of knowledge can be found in Uplands Park. Clinton-Baker discovered the foundation of Hudson’s Bay Company buildings, hidden and overgrown in an area near Dorset Avenue.

“People walk within a hundred yards of this site and have no idea of what once stood here,” he says. “Even the plants within Uplands Park have a history.”

Each year the Friends of Uplands Park clear out invasive plant species brought here by European colonists.

“Now we’re dealing with the actions of those original settlers

... trying to restore and maintain the original, natural beauty of this area. Heritage preservation isn’t just about buildings.”

While the Roots exhibit deals primarily with the Europeanstyle agriculture of Oak Bay’s past, Clinton-Baker is also keenly aware of First Nations that inhabited the area prior to European settlement.

“The original inhabitants here had cultivated and maintained a shrub-free grassland for centuries to enhance the growth of camas, a food crop for them.

“But the European settlers just considered it to be an ideal place to start their farms. In a way, the camas meadows determined where the settlement would be. Now we have some people who maintain that the aboriginal occupants of the land had no agriculture. The meadows tell you they’re wrong.”

It all comes back to roots.

“In the end, we build our future on the foundation of the past. Without strong roots in the past, we’ll never bear fruit in the future,” Clinton-Baker says.

Rebels on a roll Westshore Rebels host Langley Rams for first place Charla Huber News staff

The Westshore Rebels (6-1) are looking to extend their six-game winning streak in the B.C. junior Football Conference when they host the Langley Rams (5-0-1) on Saturday.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Rebelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final home game of the regular season. Kickoff is 4 p.m. at Westhills Stadium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have an attitude where we take what we want,â&#x20AC;? said head coach John Cardilicchia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are ready to spill our guts and leave everything on the field.â&#x20AC;?

The Rebels are coming off a 33-3 road win over the Chilliwack Huskers on Saturday (Sept. 22). â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we win on Saturday it would virtually guarantee us a home playoff game,â&#x20AC;? said Roger Wade, Rebels president. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my 10 years as president, we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hosted a playoff game. I would love to be sitting here at home instead of on the road.â&#x20AC;?

The thought of winning a seventh game in a row brings Wade, a Langford councillor, back to 1982 when he was defensive tackle for the Victoria Hornets, and enjoyed a seven-game winning streak of his own. Wade played for the team from 1981 to 1983.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a continuation of the resurgent Rebels, who

won five games last year and lost in the semifinals to the Vancouver Island Raiders. The Rebelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; only regular season loss this year came at the beginning of the season, also to the Raiders. Since then the Rebels have knocked off the Chilliwack Huskers twice, the Kamloops Broncos twice and the Okanagan Sun once. The Rebelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and Ramsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; only meeting this year was in preseason, which the Rams won 35-30. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Rams were the last team I ever lost to in 1982,â&#x20AC;? Wade said.

Leading the way for the Rebels against Chilliwack on Saturday was running back Greg Morris, who carried the ball 19 times for 150 yards, one of them a 43-yard scamper, while scoring two touchdowns. Receivers Eric Eggleston and Fik Yitna each recorded a touchdown pass and kicker Quinn Van Gylswyk hit a 32-yard field goal and converted all four touchdowns.

Rebels with a cause The Rebels have been raising funds for three-yearold Hannah Day of Langford. Hannah is battling a rare form of cancer and her parents have both left their jobs to care for her.

The team raised more than $500 for the family at a car wash, Sept. 14. The money will be presented to the family at the home game, Sept. 29.

As part of the fundraiser, all students with valid I.D, can come to the game against the Langley Rams for a $2 donation to the Day family. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Spartans ready for Giants

SPORTS NEWS

Midget football in Langford, 1 p.m.

Sunday afternoon

IN BRIEF

Travis Paterson News staff

With three wins in their first four games the midget Victoria Spartans are off to great start to the Vancouver Mainland Football League season.

The Spartans, aged 16 to 18, will hit the halfway mark of the season on Sunday when they host the Chilliwack Giants (2-2) at Westhills Stadium.

Kickoff is 1 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been two years since we won the provincials and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re off to a good start, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very competitive league this year,â&#x20AC;? assistant coach Paul Mulholland said.

Head coach Dave Shortt and Mulholland have led the team for six years now.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad has a mix of players, with a dozen high school grads, half from the Mount Douglas Rams and half from the Belmont Bulldogs, and a group of grads from the Spartansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 2011 provincial championship bantam team.

Quarterback Brett Johnson is out, however, with a broken leg. Last year Johnson stepped in as QB after a couple of games and helped the Spartans to a second-round exit from the playoffs. Instead, the Spartans are relying on Lowell MacDonald, a defensive lineman who hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played quarterback since bantam. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lowell is doing well, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s come through with some good passing, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a smart QB and knows the game,â&#x20AC;? Mulholland said.

Grizz crack top 10 national rankings The Victoria Grizzlies earned national attention this week cracking the inaugural Canadian Junior A Hockey League top-10 ranking at No. 8. The Grizzlies were not rated last year but made it to No. 8 based on its earlyseason results of five wins in six games, first in the B.C. Hockey Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Island division.

This weekend the Grizz host the Coquitlam Express (4-1), 7:15 p.m. Saturday night. The Grizz defeated the Express 2-1 on Sunday, winning two of three from last weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s road trip.

Leading the way was Grizzlies forward Gerry Fitzgerald, this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BCHL Player of the Week. The 19-yearold, one of the famed Grizzlies triplets, scored a goal and assist in each of the Grizzlies wins over Coquitlam and the Chilliwack Chiefs.

Goalie Michael Stiliadis was outstanding with a .942 save percentage.

Kathleen Leahy fires a pass against Mexico during the 2012 Junior PanAm championships in Mexico last week. Canada won silver. Leahy returns to the Vikes against UBC this weekend.

Vikes, T-Birds renew rivalry Vikes add games to hockey sked Travis Paterson News staff

The shifting dynamic of the UVic Vikes women’s field hockey season returns to normal this weekend as the UBC Thunderbirds visit for two games.

Start time is 11 a.m. Saturday and Sunday at the UVic field hockey turf.

It’s the first meeting between the Vikes and T-Birds, who have each swept the Calgary Dinos for two wins.

Without the Alberta Pandas this year, the Canada West conference is limited to the Vikes (2-0), Thunderbirds (2-0) and Dinos (0-4).

“It’s a tough matchup this weekend,” said Vikes assistant coach Krista Thompson. “UBC is very strong.”

The Vikes will benefit wit the return of Oak Bay High grad Kathleen Leahy, who helped the junior national team win silver at the Junior Pan American Championships and qualify Canada to the 2013 Junior World Cup last week.

The Thunderbirds, however, have seven players returning from the junior national team.

UBC is the Canada West favourite with senior national team midfielders Poonam Sandhu and Natalie Sourisseau.

The top two teams will advance from Canada West to the CIS nationals in Ontario this year, which is good news for the Vikes, who hold a two-game lead on the Dinos.

“We still have to do our job

SPORTS CALENDAR Rugby Fri. Sept. 28 CIS women, Alberta Pandas at UVic Vikes, 5 p.m. at Wallace Field.

Sat. Sept. 29: CDI Premier, UBC Thunderbirds at UVic Vikes, 2:45 p.m. at Wallace Field; Bayside at Castaway Wanderers, 2:45 p.m. at Windsor Park.

against Calgary,” Thompson said. “They’re similar to us in that they are young.”

The Vikes have 11 new players, while Calgary lost eight from their silver-medal team that made the national finals last year. One of those new Vikes, incidentally, is secondyear player Alanna MacDonald of Coquitlam, who was orphaned from the Alberta Pandas. The rest are rookies.

So to further develop the young core of players and keep the team on the field, the Vikes are competing in the premier division of the Vancouver Women’s Field Hockey Association.

It adds seven games and means the Vikes will be playing beyond Christmas, well past the usual end date. And that doesn’t include the Vikes weekly exhibition matches against the Island Wildcats, Victoria’s 2012 entry into the premier league.

UBC also plays in the Vancouver premier league, which boasts ex-CIS players, as well as junior and senior national players past, present and future. But the Vikes preference is to play CIS first, Thompson said.

“The premier league games are tough, and the Wildcats give us a very difficult game every Wednesday to help us develop,” Thompson said.

Later this fall, CIS and Field Hockey Canada will meet with the goal of preserving women’s field hockey as a Canada West sport.

“They would like to come up with a proposal to keep it healthy in Canada, as Field Hockey Canada would like to maintain their relationship with the CIS,” Thompson said.

Homecoming weekend Vikes athletics are holding a series of alumni events as part of the university’s 50th anniversary festival, Friday (Sept. 28) and Saturday.

Former Vikes rower and Olympic medalist Mike Lewis will speak about his journey to Beijing, Sept. 29 at 10:30 a.m. in the Social Sciences and Math Building in Room A120. Register ahead uvic.ca/ anniversary/festival.

Women’s alumni field hockey game, 1 p.m., followed by men’s alumni game at 2 p.m., Saturday.

Men’s and women’s alumni basketball games, Friday, women at 6 p.m. men at 8 p.m. in McKinnon Gym.

The hope for the Vikes is to stay in the CIS, and use the premier league as a complementary resource. There’s no obvious answer to how that will shake out, except that the format of the nationals will probably change, Thompson added.

A secondary option could see the Vikes enter the premier league full time, but that is a less desirable fallback at this point.

“There’s a few models where teams aren’t in the CIS but are playing in the championships, such as UVic rowing,” Thompson said.

The Vikes annual Ivy League tour taken in August is also an important part of the schedule.

This year the Vikes beat Harvard and Brown universities, but lost to Dartmouth and Yale. sports@vicnews.com Fri. & Sun. Sept. 28 & 30: WHL, Kamloops Blazers at Victoria Royals, 7:05 p.m. Friday, 1 p.m. Sunday at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre.

They discover a new sense of confidence, power and control by having their very own job, making their own money and paying for their own games, phones and time with friends.

It’s so easy to get started… call

Promotional Feature on the 3Rs and Saving Energy REDUCE • REUSE• RECYCLE

Energy-saving suggestions from Fortis CRD & Swan Lake host Native Plant workshops Learn more about the environmental benefits of gardening with drought-resistant native plants with a Native Plant Gardening Workshop hosted by the Capital Regional District and Swan Lake Nature Sanctuary this fall.

Led by Native Plant & Waterwise consultant Patricia Johnston, the free, three-hour workshop will explore how, why and where to grow native plants, along with tips for reducing or eliminating lawns and creating natural habitats. Courses are offered Oct. 2, 11, 27, Nov. 8 & 15 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and Oct. 14, 21 and Nov. 3 from 1 to 4 p.m.

In addition, Swan Lake is hosting The Next Steps in Native Plant Gardening Johnston Oct. 13 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., including advanced discussion of native plants and how to garden with them.

Pre-registration is required for all courses – call Swan Lake at 250-4790211 to register.

Despite having no prior handyman skills and a limited knowledge of energy efficiency, Laura Lee Schultz and Jacqueline Gullion were determined to renovate their Depressionera house. So they picked up their hammers and caulking gun and got to work.

With help from family, friends and YouTube, they learned how to insulate properly and also how to make other energy efficiency upgrades.

Some were small, and with help from professionals, some big. Like the furnace.

“It was pretty obvious that the furnace had to go. It was amazingly old and inefficient,” Schultz says. So they took the plunge and had it replaced with an ENERGY STAR® high-efficiency model. They had the original ducting system replaced too for even better efficiency.

The ladies have proven that you don’t have to spend a lot to save a lot.

“For less than $50 on a tube of window caulk, a roll of weatherstripping and a window film kit, you can significantly change the comfort of your home,” says Gullion.

And they’ve got proof. Before making improvements, an energy advisor rated the house at 48 out of 100 on the EnerGuide® efficiency scale (a

standard measure of a home’s energy performance). Now it’s up to 64.

And even though they switched out the electric range to a gas model, (“We just like cooking with gas,” quips Gullion) the natural gas consumption has dropped by 26 per cent since making all the energy efficiency improvements.

As for future improvements, they hope to replace the windows. For now, they’re enjoying their home and practicing conservation. Like hanging their clothes out on the line, taking shorter showers and programming the thermostat to a comfortable, but efficient 20° Celsius when home.

If you’re considering making energy efficiency improvements like Schultz and Gullion, FortisBC has a number of rebate offers, how-to advice, and quick tips to help make it easier and economical.

If you currently heat your home with oil, switching to cleaner burning natural gas makes sense. And better yet, the utility offers a $1,000 rebate when you convert your oil heating system to natural gas.

Council requests more oversight in bridge building Contract selection delayed a month, proponents to submit by Oct. 18 Roszan Holmen News staff

The three companies vying to build a new Johnson Street Bridge are busy perfecting their bids.

But the role of Victoria’s elected officials in the decision to select a winner was the source of a lengthy closed-door discussion last Thursday (Sept. 20).

Coun. Ben Isitt expressed con-

cern that city council will not be presented information about all the proposals submitted, but instead will only be informed about the bid recommended by city staff. Council’s role will then be to approve or reject the recommendation.

“I can understand why disclosure to public would be problematic, but can you explain why disclosure to council is problematic?” Isitt asked city lawyer Tom Zworski.

Zworski felt the answer required a closed-door meeting, and council voted to retreat to a private room.

The discussion held up last

week’s public governance and priorities meeting for nearly two hours, after which council reported on a compromise.

Council will now have two decision points. Once members approve a proposal, based on staff’s recommendation, the bridge team will then negotiate the exact terms of the contract with the winning proponent. Council will then have a second opportunity to approve or reject this contract.

Coun. Lisa Helps is satisfied with the new terms.

Not getting the chance to weigh all three bids will be “hard to stomach,” she said. But she acknowledged that the evaluation commit-

Once the deadline passes, the city’s bridge team will take several weeks to evaluate the three proposals before taking its recommendations to council.

As of last week, the project is progressing under the direction of a new senior project manager. Ken Jarvela, who started Sept. 17, was hired after Mike Lai resigned from his post as project director July 6.

Jarvela is a civil engineer who was recently project manager for the $160-million Blue Water Bridge project spanning the St. Clair River between Ontario and Michigan. rholmen@vicnews.com

Unique learning opportunities support health and stability With the support of the community, many local organizations are helping kids and adults learn healthy ways to deal with difficulties in their lives. Below are a few of the recent groups that received a grant from the Victoria Foundation to offer educational programs with a difference.

Living and Learning Through Loss is a program designed to help young adults between the ages of 13 and 18 deal with the experiences of significant loss in their lives. Good Grief Workshops provided in schools include classes on psychology, communication, peer counselling and leadership.

In 2011 they delivered 77 workshops to over 2,300 youth in the Greater Victoria area and plan on delivering up to 130 this year reaching another 3,900 youth. The organization also offers support groups, individual counselling and crisis response and support.

“Our Learning Loss Group programs continue to change the lives of youth in a more positive and healthy direction,” says Charlie Troger, Board Chair.

Coming up on October 24th, the organization is delivering a three and a half hour workshop for individuals who work with youth and who would like to gain more understanding and tools to support them through grief and loss. More information can be found by calling Grief Education Program Director Shauna Janz at 250-857-9642 or visiting their website, www.teenloss.com.

Power to Be provides adventure-based programs designed for youth and families in need of support. They look to help individuals deal with substance use, social isolation, economic disparity, physical health problems, discrimination and other issues that can cause some youth to become

discouraged and derailed in school and unable to function effectively. Through a collaborative approach and caring staff, they inspire connections with nature through an inclusive year-round outdoor education curriculum that promotes physical heath and emotional well-being, develops interpersonal and leadership skills, teaches environmental and social stewardship, offers peer mentorship, and supports community engagement and family connectedness. Visit www.powertobe.ca or call 250-385-2363.

Power of Hope is a non-profit organization that delivers arts-based experiential learning programs to teens from diverse cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds, including a distinctive 8-day overnight summer camp. Though they take many forms, all programs are designed for youth to explore their creativity, learn from diversity, and express themselves through music, art, poetry, or hip hop to connect with others in a positive, supportive community. More information: www.powerofhope.org or call 250-381-4673.

Bridges for Women inspires women impacted by violence or abuse to reclaim their lives by gaining employment, economic security, health, safety and independence. A range of services are offered, including programs aimed at employment, entrepreneurship and career mentoring.

To sign up for computer training or other classes, visit www.bridgesforwomen.ca or call 250-385-7410.

The Victoria Foundation is proud of its long-standing support of our region’s charitable organizations from all sectors, and of the donors who help to create smart and caring communities in our region.

Since 1936, the Victoria Foundation’s permanent endowment has had the power to connect people who care with causes that matter. If you wish to make a difference in your community – one that has lasting impact, start here.

Vancouver-area realtors prefer historic â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;46 Fords

TO DECEMBER 1 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Vancouver International Boat Show is seeking submissions for the Why BC Loves Boating Photo Contest. Share with the world why you love boating the more than 27,000 km of ocean coastline, hundreds of lakes and countless rivers, that make BC one of the finest boating destinations in the world.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interesting that Joe Morris and Bill Blackall had never met.

They are both successful Vancouver-area realtors, both drive 1946 Fords and bought their cars more than 40 years ago.

ALYN EDWARDS Coincidently, their CLASSIC classic rides were RIDES displayed just five cars apart at the Hot Rod Saturday Show inside the Village at West Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park Royal shopping centre, but they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t connect.

Joe Morris operates three Prudential Realty offices in Langley. He regularly takes prospective home buyers for cruises in the Fraser Valley region in his 1946 Ford sedan. He specializes in finding properties with car storage and shops for car enthusiast clients.

Bill Blackall, the Century 21 Prudential Estates (RMD) Ltd. managing broker and company owner in Richmond, used to put signs on his 1946 Ford to draw attention to open houses he would hold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to stop that because the car was getting all the attention and people wanted to buy it instead of the houses I was selling.â&#x20AC;?

Bill has owned his 1946 Ford sedan since purchasing it from his neighbour in Ottawa when he was 16-years-old â&#x20AC;&#x201C; nearly 50 years ago. Joe Morris bought his 1946 Ford sedan from a Vancouver used car lot on Kingsway for $125 when he was a 20-year-old apprentice mechanic. The transmission broke the day after the purchase.

Joe spent three months repairing the car, used it for his general transportation for a few years and then parked it in his grandfatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garage in Surrey when he progressed from repairing ambulances

Richmond realtor Bill Blackall with the 1946 Ford tudor sedan that he has owned since he was 16 years old.

The 1946 Ford has been completely restored and painted in its original patriot blue colour.

to being an ambulance attendant and paramedic in many B.C. communities.

He went into real estate after moving back to the Lower Mainland in 1986. He was forced to sell the beautiful Ford, which he had restored, when real estate sales tanked in 1994. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My two young sons would bounce up and down in the back seat all the way to the A&W in that car and they were pretty upset when I had to sell it.â&#x20AC;?

But fate would bring the car back into his life after he spotted an ad for

a similar car for sale in Chilliwack six years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My sons, now 21 and 24, took one look at the car and said: Dad, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your car!â&#x20AC;? From that point on, there was no negotiating the price. The sellers knew Joe had to have the car. So he bought it back and commenced a complete body-offthe-frame restoration Continued on Pg. B2

Bill put the car in storage in 1979, and there it remained until he refurbished it in the summer of 2003 in his backyard with the help of old time mechanic and bodyman Phil Raymond, of Hope.

His 1946 Ford is now restored and repainted in its original colour of patriot blue. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s travelled just 125,000 km (77,800 miles) since new.

Bill Blackall and Joe Morris not only have their long careers in real estate in common. They also each bought their 1946 Ford sedans more than 40 years and enjoy cruising and attending classic car shows. Because of this close connection, they have now met and plan to attend more car shows in the future, parked side by side.

which installation method to use.

Proper installation of a car seat provides children with the best protection in a crash. Consulting an expert can be critical to ensuring that children are secured in the safest manner possible.

SH

Installing a car seat correctly is no easy task.

In fact, it is estimated that nearly three out of four car seats are not properly installed.

Despite technologies, such as Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH), aimed at simplifying the car seat installation process, many parents are still missing the mark.

A recent U.S. survey of Child Passenger Safety Technicians (CPSTs), those certified to inspect and properly install car seats, revealed that LATCH misuse is cause for concern.

Nearly three quarters of CPSTs surveyed observe parents misusing the LATCH system more than half of the time.

LATCH has been required in nearly all vehicles and car seats since September 2002 and is touted as a user-friendly alternative to the seat belt.

Safety experts have long promoted the rear-centre seat as the safest seating position for children.

However, in another U.S. study of 2010-11 model year vehicles, only seven of the 98 topselling vehicles supported LATCH use in the rear-centre seat.

Many parents make the mistake of using the inner anchor for each outboard seat to install a car seat in the center seat using LATCH. If the vehicle does not support a LATCH installation in the rear-center seat, use a seat belt to secure the car seat, or move the car seat to an outboard seat. Be sure to always consult the vehicle owner’s manual before installing a car seat in any vehicle.

While parents may think using both the seat belt and the LATCH system will provide additional protection, the opposite may be true. In the event of a crash, belts are designed to expand and absorb crash forces.

If both systems are used, the crash forces may be distributed improperly, resulting in injury or death. Unless both the vehicle owner’s manual and the car seat manufacturer’s manual approve using both methods together, select either the seatbelt or the LATCH system.

Convertible car seats have belt paths for both rear-facing and forward-facing installations.

When installing the car seat, consult the car seat manufacturer’s instructions to

determine which belt path to use.

Selecting the incorrect belt path will leave the seat improperly secured.

The same recent survey also revealed that installation “difficulties” go beyond choosing

Small Block V8 is the heart of Chevrolet Corvette Iconic engine has defined Corvette performance for nearly 60 years The Corvette’s first 4.3-litre (265 cu in) small-block engine in 1955 produced up to 195 hp with an optional four-barrel carburetor. Today, the LS9 6.2-litre (376 cu in) supercharged small-block in the Corvette ZR1 is rated at 638 hp (476 kW), delivering about 230-per-cent-more power than the original small-block engine from only 42-per-cent-greater displacement.

Today’s small-block is also remarkably fuel-efficient.

For example, the 430 hp LS3 version of the Gen-IV small-block helps the 2013 Corvette accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in about four seconds, run the quarter-mile in just more than 12 seconds and achieve a top speed of 190 mph – all while achieving highway fuel consumption rating of 7.7L/100km.

That fuel efficiency compares favourably to vehicles more commonly associated with daycare drop-off vehicles than road-course lap times.

Indeed, the Corvette’s highway fuel consumption rating is lower than the 2012 Hyundai Equus (8.6L/100km), 2013 Volvo XC90 AWD (8. L/100km), Subaru Legacy with the 3.6L flat-6 (8.2L/100km) – and it matches the Toyota Venza with the 3.5-litre V6 (7.7 L/100km).

METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM

For 58 of its 60 years, the legendary Chevrolet V8 engine has powered the Chevrolet Corvette.

Technological advancements have increased output threefold – from 195 hp in 1955 to 638 hp today – as well as reliability, refinement and efficiency.

However, the fundamental architecture of the Chevrolet “Small Block” remains the same today as it was in 1955: a 90-degree V8, with overhead valves actuated by pushrods, and a 4.4inch on-centre bore spacing.

Despite a sporty appearance, the early Corvettes’ performance didn’t match their good looks. The car launched in 1953 with the “Blue Flame” inline six-cylinder engine and a twospeed automatic transmission – not exactly the stuff on which to build a sports car legend.

That changed in 1955, when the new small-block V8 engine became available and was ordered by 99 per cent of Corvette buyers.

Not only did the new and significantly more powerful engine breathe new life into the Corvette’s driving experience, it could be linked

Chevrolet’s “small block” V8 engine has been a stalwart of Corvette performance for some 58 years and remains a leader in power output and even fuel economy.

to a three-speed manual transmission that gave the driver an even greater connection to the car.

The result made the Corvette a proper sports car, and enthusiasts responded. Sales nearly doubled

from 1954 and by the end of the decade, they nearly tripled.

Immediately after the V8 was introduced, the small-block began a steady march upward in displacement, power and technological advancement.
