Waiting game playing out at City Hall High-salaried staff spend hours waiting to speak to council It’s 10:45 a.m., and Victoria’s finance director Brenda Warner settles into a chair in council chambers.

A few minutes pass, and parks director Kate Friars joins her in the public gallery.

Luckily the chairs at City Hall are padded, as they’re in for a long wait for their turn to address council.

This governance and priorities meeting is going nowhere fast. At issue on this Nov. 15 morning is whether to collapse multiple public advisory committees into a single committee with a general mandate.

Debate soon unravels into a lengthy argument about whether council has enough information to make a sound Roszan Holmen decision. After much back and forth, Reporting council postpones a resolution for another day.

It’s a common enough theme: contentious council discussions that push meetings past the five-hour mark.

Meanwhile, highly paid directors – earning roughly $100 per hour – are sitting for hours at a time, waiting for their respective reports to come forward.

There is an irony in the situation.

For months, elected officials have been struggling to find savings in the budget. All the while, waste could literally be staring them in the face.

Coun. Lisa Helps doesn’t mince words.

“It’s a waste of time and a waste of money,” she said.

Elevated art form Inn at Laurel Point head pastry chef April Iverson, left, and pastry cook Lauren Arsenault put the finishing touches on the hotel’s entry for the National Gingerbread Showcase, in the hotel’s kitchen Wednesday.

Part of an annual fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity, the Victoria creations for the showcase were unveiled Thursday in the Terrace Ballroom at the Inn. Iverson, a native of Saskatchewan, designed this house after the grain elevators that were very much a part of the scenery around her hometown. The gingerbread works by various local bakers, amateur and professional, are on display until Jan. 1.

Small leaks frequent for underground power cable Line dripped 200L of mineral oil over year Edward Hill News staff

An underground transmission line linked to a recent oily sheen in Colquitz River has leaked about 200 litres of oil in the past year, B.C. Hydro says.

The line transmits power between a downtown Victoria substation and a substation near Camosun College Interurban, about nine kilometres, and is encased in mineral oil for insulation.

B.C. Hydro said at a number of locations, the line has been subject to small “drip leaks� into the earth, which it estimates adds up to about 200 litres since last December. Ted Olynyk, with B.C. Hydro, stressed that the petroleum-based mineral oil has “very low toxicity� and won’t harm fish and other wildlife. “Anytime (a leak) happens, we go to extremes to ensure the environment is protected. We realize there is a lot of community sensitivity about this,� Olynyk said. “This doesn’t harm fish and that’s one of the reasons we use this oil.�

Saanich public works staff discovered an oil sheen on Colquitz River Nov. 7 near

Interurban Road and Columbine Way. The crew strung absorbent booms across the stream, and B.C. Hydro took over cleanup and remediation a couple of days later, after the corporation was confident the oil was related to its operations.

Olynyk said it remains unclear how many days the oil leaked undetected into the Colquitz.

It’s possible oil migrated out from soil relocated from earlier B.C. Hydro excavation work in the area, as the underground cable is about 12 metres from the creek.

B.C. Hydro did transmission cable repairs in the area on Oct. 31 after discovering a leak, but Olynyk said there was no evidence

any oil entered the creek from that incident.

The system can alert Hydro crews to low oil pressure in the cable, although that didn’t happen in October or this latest leak.

Olynyk said crews walk and inspect transmission lines every few months. Engineers suspect cycles of heating and cooling can cause small cracks in the cable casing.

Saanich environmental services manager Adriane Pollard said B.C. Hydro has taken responsibility for the cleanup, but Saanich staff remain in the loop.

Pollard said she isn’t aware of other incidents where transmission line fluid has leaked into a Saanich waterway. editor@saanichnews.com

Sister Lucy Dumont tops the list of 2012 fundraisers from the GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon, having pulled in $9,063 of the $325,000 total.

Marathon officials released the final figures on Wednesday morning.

Dumont, a spunky octogenarian and member of the Sisters of St. Ann, walked the eight-ki-

lometre road race. She directed all her funds to the Mount St. Mary Foundation – the Sisters founded the old Mount St. Mary Hospital in 1941.

Dumont’s fundraising work is legendary within the seven-yearold Victoria Marathon charity pledge program. She has raised thousands of dollars in pledges since first walking the half mara-

thon a few years ago.

Next to Dumont, Katherine Hart pulled in $5,050 for the B.C. Cancer Foundation, Evan Fagan raised $3,845 for the Mount St. Mary Foundation and Mei-Sheng Shanks raised $3,775 for the B.C. Cancer Foundation.

Festival of Trees lights up Empress Daniel Palmer News staff

Even Scrooge would have a hard time ignoring the Christmas spirit in the Fairmont Empress Hotel this season.

It’s there that a record 78 Christmas trees are on display for the 21st annual Festival of Trees, a friendly competition to help sick kids across the province.

“It brings holiday cheer, and all of the proceeds go

towards the B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation,” said festival co-ordinator Debbie Preston. Similar events are being held in Vancouver, Sooke and Port Alberni.

From now until Jan. 4, the Empress will host trees decorated by businesses, schools and individuals, with several prizes up for grabs.

“Awards will be given for the three best-decorated trees, and this year we’ve introduced the spirit of giv-

ing award, which will be given to the organization or individual who donates the most to the foundation,” Preston said.

The public can also vote for their favourite tree at the Empress or online for a minimum donation of $2.

The tree with the most votes by January will get the people’s choice award.

Old Esquimalt Road deserves heritage status: township staff

G o odnight Gr acie Enter tainm ent Pr esents

Oldest planned road in Western Canada dates back to 1851 Daniel Palmer News staff

In 1852, Capt. Augustus Leopold Kuper and the crew of HMS Thetis were ordered to carve out the first overland connection between Esquimalt harbour and the Hudson Bay Company fort in Victoria.

The men spent months cutting through Douglas fir and Garry oak trees in the untouched forest, creating what local historians call the first planned road in Western Canada.

At the time, it served as the dividing line between the Puget Sound Agricultural Company, Constance Cove and Viewfield farms.

Adjoining land was cleared for St. Joseph’s Mission, built in 1858 as the first Roman Catholic church in B.C., as well as the Halfway House, which was built in 1861 as a safe haven for those travelling north during the gold rush.

In recognition of Old Esquimalt Road’s claim to historical fame, township staff are considering its inclusion on Esquimalt’s heritage register.

“It doesn’t put any restrictions on the road, it just puts it on an official list of properties that Esquimalt sees as significant,” said Karen Hay, planning technician and staff liaison to the heritage advisory committee.

The heritage register differs from the more formal designated heritage sites, Hay said.

While heritage designation creates a number of incentives and restrictions for homeowners, the heritage register is only an official recognition of historically significant properties.

“The B.C. Assessment authority has determined that there would be no impact to the property values of lots adjoining Old Esquimalt Road by placing the

Victoria Hospice Society and the B.C. Cancer Foundation are on a list of top performers among successful charities in Canada.

A report released this week by charity watchdog Charity Intelligence Canada placed the two organizations on its Top Picks list for 2012, not only for their effective and efficient use of donor money, but their outcomes for the people they serve.

“As a not-for-profit organization our donors are absolutely vital to being able to do the work we do in caring for people,” said Wendy Wainwright, interim executive director of Victoria Hospice.

Engendering confidence in people who both donate and whose loved ones are cared for at Hospice is important, she adds.

“It really does speak to something that is very important to

raising costs and salary information. Charity Intelligence is an organization that analyzes the financial picture of charities across Canada to help donors determine where their donations would be best used.

Greater Victorians lead online donor list Online charity donation facilitator CanadaHelps.org has rated communities across the country for their level of giving through its website.

On that list, Greater Victoria ranked first for most donations per capita, with 7.9 donations per 100 people, well ahead of Vancouver, which came in second at 2.1 donations per 100 residents.

Provincially, B.C. ranked second for total donations with 49,707 and third in total raised with $6.2 million. editor@vicnews.com

Hillside Centre hits new milestone Construction slated for completion by summer 2013, Target by 2014 Daniel Palmer News staff

Shoppers will notice a gaping hole in Hillside Centre for the coming months, as crews begin demolishing the former Zellers building as part of an ongoing $72-million redevelopment of the mall.

The deconstruction began last Thursday to make room for a two-level, 147,000-squarefoot Target.

While the building is expected to be move-in ready

by July 2013, Target won’t open until sometime in 2014, said Kerry Shular, general manager of Hillside Centre.

Apart from Target, full occupancy is slated for August 2013, while the new expanded food court is scheduled to be completed by next April.

“Obviously, with the restrictions that construction has caused, we are inviting customers back with special deals and offers that will be launched as part of the Christ-

On Sunday, Nov. 25, Hillside Centre will hold its 14th annual Night Before Late Night fundraiser, where $5 ticket proceeds go to various charities.

“In previous years, the event raised upwards of $15,000

for B.C. Children’s Hospital,” Shular said.

As the name of the event implies, Christmas shopping hours of 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays will kick in on Monday, Nov. 26.

“We’re hopeful that customers will remember us and come back and we’re trying

to make it as easy as we can,” Shular said.

Occupation -- Environmental lawyer

Previous elected political experience -- None

Previous elected political experience -- None

What is your opinion on sewage treatment being revisited or delayed? -- We are not supporting it. A perfect sewage treatment plant does exactly what the ocean outfall currently does with our sewage. This whole billon-dollar public relations exercise and nightmare is wasteful, harmful and dangerous to families in Victoria. Keep it based on real science, not myth and emotions that are pulling on the heartstrings of the public. Families in Victoria will not be able to afford the extra hundreds of dollars a year that will be added to local property tax bills.

Previous elected political experience -- Two terms on the Greater Victoria School Board (chaired curriculum committee)

Occupation -- Adjunct professor at the Peter Gustavson School of Business (on leave)

Previous elected political experience -- None What is your opinion on sewage treatment being revisited or delayed? -- It should be delayed, but we will need secondary sewage treatment in the future. The next step should be for the Victoria MP to approach relevant departments (Environment, Fisheries and Oceans, DND) to assess their flexibility. With so much money at stake, we need to be sure that the plan we have is the best available.

What are your priorities for transit? -- Municipal transit choices should be based on decision-making by local voices. The federal government should not prescribe conditions. That said, there should be a national transit strategy that emphasizes and supports high-efficiency, low-carbon solutions. I’m a big fan of trains and bikes.

How would you bring the federal government to your constituents? -- Two-way communication is essential.

An MP should have a close relationship with the active and committed social organizations of civil society.

Their assistance in identifying local needs is indispensable.

An MP should also be a keen listener to individual interests and needs. The regular town hall meeting is an effective device, as is an open and experienced constituency office. It will also be important for the MP to be a tenacious advocate of local interests in Ottawa.

What is your regular mode of transportation? -a) Bus to work (fall/winter) b) Recumbent trike to work (spring/summer; sold just before the campaign) c) Car

What is your opinion on sewage treatment being revisited or delayed? -- I have heard a clear message from Victorians: they do not want to pollute our coastal waters; and they have serious concerns with the CRD plan. I have also heard a clear message from marine scientists: there is no current scientific evidence showing any damage to the coastal waters of B.C. Therefore, I favour regular monitoring of pollution levels in our oceans to determine if and when action should be taken.

What are your priorities for transit? -- We need an integrated, regional transit system involving rail, rapid transit, airports and seaports. At present, our transportation system is fragmented and the municipal, provincial and federal governments are not co-operating in finding solutions. The absence of a regional transportation strategy is costing this community in many ways: the added costs of doing business, disruption of family life, poorer quality of life and the difficulty in attracting workers to Victoria.

How would you bring the federal government to your constituents? -- My philosophy is to “listen and lead.” By that, I mean I will listen to Victorians and take their concerns to the table in Ottawa. Victoria needs a powerful and influential voice in Ottawa. This city, where I was born and raised and where I have chosen to raise my family, has enormous potential. Let’s work together to fulfill its promise.

What is your regular mode of transportation? -- Automobile to and from work

What are your priorities for transit? -- We prefer to see it privatized, as too much money is being wasted by government.

How would you bring the federal government to your constituents? -- As part of the Government of Canada, I will be working for you to reduce the size of government to a minimum, protect your personal liberty and rights, eliminate personal income tax and bring in a user-pay system for services.

What is your regular mode of transportation? -- I walk or take the bus service, or use alternate ways to get around.

NEWS

What is your opinion on sewage treatment being revisited or delayed? -Primary treatment can be most effectively and cheaply accomplished with modern septic tanks for homes and apartments (subsidized).

Sterile solids, pumped out every two to three years, could be fertilizer. No one can afford any increase in taxes from sewage treatment. Therefore scrap the current plans.

What are your priorities for transit? -- Walking and cycling promote health and cut health-care costs.

Distances can be moderate if the city is progressively decentralized, as in Europe.

With modern communication it isn’t necessary to be physically close to co-workers or competitors. Work done in homes is better for families.

Home working parents can concentrate better because they are not constantly worrying about their precious baby in the daycare.

How would you bring the federal government to your constituents? -- Victorians can frequently communicate their opinions on problems and proposals at small cost. Their opinions, using analogue scales, can be used as a mini-referendum.

Island MPs can meet in local public discussions to form and forward regional legislation. This can decrease discussion time in Parliament and shorten delays of implementation.

It will reduce lobbying and travelling.

What is your regular mode of transportation? -- Living in Sooke, I drive a small SUV, but try to use the bus whenever possible.

Previous elected political experience -- None What is your opinion on sewage treatment being revisited or delayed? -- I don’t believe that we should pump sewage into the ocean for another generation.

We shouldn’t saddle our children with a burden that will only be more expensive in the future. We are one of the only major cities on the Pacific Coast without secondary sewage treatment.

Both the B.C. Liberals and federal Conservatives have ordered clean-up – it’s time to move forward.

What are your priorities for transit? -- I support Olivia Chow’s National Transportation Strategy Act (C-305). Canada is the only G8 country without dedicated federal transit funding and a national plan. Efficient, affordable transit can be a major economic driver and an easy way to manage our carbon emissions. However, to develop these kinds of transit systems there needs to be federal funding and a cohesive strategy.

How would you bring the federal government to your constituents? -- I believe that our MP should represent Victoria’s interests in Ottawa, and not the other way around. I will follow in Denise Savoie’s footsteps in representing all of Victoria, not just those who vote for me. I promise to stand up for my city and my region and work with all parties to best meet Victoria’s needs.

What is your regular mode of transportation? -- Most often I ride my bike, but I do use my car and transit as well.

Previous elected political experience -- None What is your opinion on sewage treatment being revisited or delayed? -The current proposals will provide no net environmental benefit, according to UVic ocean scientists and public health officials. We need to delay the project and revisit the proposed solution to implement a 21st-century technology that will provide us with real improvements, not a 19th-century solution that will cost $1 billion with no improvement.

What are your priorities for transit? -- We need to look at creating a 21st-century transportation infrastructure that will allow people to take transit, walk and cycle safely and efficiently. Instead of investing $1 billion in sewage infrastructure that will provide no net benefit, we should look at investing that infrastructure money in transportation solutions.

How would you bring the federal government to your constituents? -- As your Member of Parliament, I would maintain an office in the riding to serve the citizens of Victoria. But I would also look at ways to use new technologies in innovative ways to provide information and services to my constituents. Telephone town halls, Internet-based video conferencing and social media should all be employed to better communicate with people in Victoria.

What is your regular mode of transportation? -- Car

Police are warning cyclists to use highquality locks and to secure their bikes in well-lit areas after a rash of thefts last week.

On Nov. 13 an employee at the University of Victoria had his Trek 21-speed bicycle, valued at $950, taken from a bike shelter at the university. The bike was locked, but the lock had been forcibly removed.

On Nov. 16, another locked bike, valued at $600, was stolen from in front of the Cunningham building at UVic. Thieves also targeted the Oak Bay tennis bubble where, on Nov. 15, a 24-speed Kona mountain bike was stolen by a man who rode up to the bubble on a different bike, removed the lock of the target bike with bolt cutters and, abandoning the bike on which he’d arrived, rode off on the stolen bicycle.

On Nov. 17, another bike valued at $600 was stolen at the tennis bubble. Again, the thief cut the cable lock and fled with the bike.

It’s a problem that has also come to the attention of Saanich police Sgt. Dean Jantzen.

“Bike thefts are definitely up,” he said. “Bikes can be very expensive and obviously places like Camosun, high schools and the University of Victoria are going to be focal points for thefts.

Andrew Sherry of the Oak Bay Bike Shop in Victoria said it’s very difficult to prevent bicycle thefts entirely, as a determined thief with the proper tools can force virtually any lock.

“There are better locks out there, though, that can make it harder for any thief and that will take them longer to force,” he said.

“It’s worth investing in a good lock to protect bikes that are worth hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars.” reporter@vicnews.com

Bear Mountain plans for future; golf course to be halved Bear Mountain developers plan to remove nine holes of golf to make room for more low-density housing and open space.

More than 300 people attended a recent open house to hear plans for the

property.

“I would say by far and away more positive reaction than negative, for sure,” Bear Mountain CEO Gary Cowan said.

“I think there’s lots of good things about the plan.”

Changes to the golf course won’t be carried out for at least two years, as the developer goes through rezoning applications with the City of Langford and finishes already-approved developments.

Cowan said his team has been working on a new development plan for more than a year. Cowan and Bear Mountain Land Holdings, owned by HSBC Bank, took over the reigns in 2010.

“We’re looking to put for-

ward a plan, a viable development plan that really sets up Bear Mountain for longterm success,” Cowan said.

“We believe this plan … will get the cloud off of Bear Mountain.” editor@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW

Local issue goes national All six candidates in the Nov. 26 Victoria federal byelection have offered their thoughts on sewage treatment for the Capital Region, in one forum or another in recent weeks.

If you missed hearing it in person, you can read their views on the issue on this newspaper’s website printed in our Byelection sheds or candidate survey broader light on (page A10).

It’s not surprising sewage treatment that all of the candidates have hitched their campaign wagons to the do-itnow or wait-till-it-gets-bad camps on sewage treatment. It’s an acknowledgement by would-be MPs and their promoters that public awareness on the issue is as high as it has been since pro-treatment character Mr. Floatie achieved international notoriety.

A cynic might say those trying to gain office are simply taking advantage of the momentum being built by local politicians who question the logic of building a nearly $800-million facility, rather than holding off until damage to the marine environment becomes significant.

On the other hand, an optimist – one who also questions the decision to spend that kind of money on secondary treatment – might say it’s a good thing if a broader light can be shed on the marine science that has seemingly been ignored in this whole affair.

Five years ago, we encouraged all affected levels of government to give the science a more thorough evaluation. We continue to hold the view that research on the impact to the marine environment is incomplete.

With party leaders and other influential MPs campaigning with Victoria byelection candidates the past couple of weeks – all but Green leader Elizabeth May are from back east – we hope the whys of sewage treatment gain a higher profile in Ottawa in the near future.

That may not prompt the Conservative government to rethink its ban on dumping untreated sewage into the ocean, but it may buy cash-strapped Capital Region residents some time before we have to start shelling out for a treatment facility.

That’s how a sound-colour synesthete, who posted about his experience online, described listening to one indie British pop band’s songs. That seems pretty sensational.

It would be problematic to have a gustatory banquet stimulate your taste buds with every conversation you have or book you read. But I think tasting words would be a really neat form of synesthesia to have.

I’m not sure if the strength of one’s synesthesia is ever so powerful that it’s handicapping, but when I think back on my childhood and formative years, I realize my synesthesia did impact my day-today life.

I wore, almost exclusively, blues, blacks, greens and greys, and shied away from purchasing anything purple, pink, orange or red. I wasn’t consciously trying to dress one particular way, I just didn’t want to wear the colours that I thought everyone else, like me, perceived to be female.

Having been a synesthete since childhood, I can’t imagine living a life where I don’t harmlessly and naturally segregate colours, numbers and letters by gender.

I just wish everyone else could experience what we synesthetes experience – your senses don’t know what they’re missing.

Because leaders in Canada and the U.S. have, for too long, listened to fossil fuel interests and their denier minions rather than scientists, it will be more difficult than it might have been to reduce carbon emissions to the extent necessary to prevent runaway global warming.

But there are many ways to protect the health of the planet and the future of humanity without destroying economies.

Conserving energy and thus saving money, reducing consumption of unnecessary products and packaging and shifting to a clean-energy economy would likely hurt the bottom line of polluting industries, but would undoubtedly have positive effects for most of us.

Many scientists and economists also say putting a price on carbon through carbon taxes and/or cap-and-trade is necessary. Rethinking the economy as a means and not an end in itself would also help.

If America wants to retain its position as a global power, its president must listen to the people and show strong leadership at this turning point in human history. www.davidsuzuki.org.

LETTERS Cohen addressed salmon poaching Re: Salmon mystery far from solved (B.C. Views, Nov. 14).

Discussing the Cohen Commission report on the decline of Fraser River sockeye salmon runs, Tom Fletcher writes, “Poaching on the Fraser? Cohen didn’t get around to that.” This is inaccurate.

In volume two, chapter two, page 35, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Bruce Cohen states: “I am also concerned that Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) does not estimate illegal or unauthorized catch to use in its management of the fishery.

This information could be helpful to fisheries managers in a variety of ways – for example, in directing enforcement activities, allocating fishing access, and providing postseason accounting of returns.”

Justice Cohen goes on to say: “I accept the evidence of those witnesses who said that conservation is best served by proactively preventing fish from

being taken illegally from the water.

Preventing the illegal taking of fish will likely involve a combination of community education and stewardship and on-the-ground enforcement activities.

“Effective catch monitoring of all sectors is an important component of this plan, as is the realistic allocation and identification of food, social and ceremonial fish to Aboriginal groups.

I do not want to suggest that after-the-fact investigations are not also important; they are. Indeed, enforcement activities aimed at illegal sales may provide an effective deterrent to taking fish illegally out of the water.”

On page 54 of the same volume: “In my view, preventing the illegal taking of fish should be the priority consideration when DFO is faced with focusing its resource expenditure within any of the three pillars.”

Water-main break floods O.B. street Tim Collins

“WATCHING ELIZABETH MAY IN THE HOUSE THIS LAST YEAR, I WAS PUT IN MIND OF BOADICEA LEADING THE CELTIC TRIBE AGAINST THE ROMAN EMPIRE. IT WAS CLEAR TO ME SHE WAS – AND IS – THE ONLY REAL LEADER IN THAT DISMAL PLACE. SO I THINK IT IS TIME TO SEND HER SOME REINFORCEMENTS...

A major watermain break in the 2000-block of Bowker Ave., in Oak Bay on Tuesday morning forced evacuation of about 20 homes on the street and caused some residents to question the effectiveness of the municipality’s response.

Cory Heavener, whose mother Diane lives on the block, said her mother arrived home at 9 a.m. to find the street flooding and water running into her basement. More than two hours later, her basement was completely flooded and, according to Heavener, her mother had still received no information on what she should be doing.

Diane Heavener said she tried to speak to the public works crews to get direction, but was told, “they were too busy” to talk to her. She finally called the fire department when she saw her basement heating oil tank was submerged.

“I’m really angry about the response,” said Cory Heavener.

“No one came door to door to tell us what to do.”

Oak Bay public works operations manager Joe Brooks said they were aware of the watermain break at about 9 a.m. when a 16-inch feeder line that runs through Oak Bay ruptured.

Brooks said crews immediately tried to shut down the line, but

Oak Bay municipal worker Adam Gow carries sandbags after a watermain break on the corner of Eastdowne Road and Bowker Avenue.

Sharon Tiffin/News staff

the task was complicated by the many feeder lines emanating from the mainline at the site of the break.

By noon, the water was still flowing and staff had been dispatched to Lansdowne Road where a main shutoff valve for the community is located. The flow was stopped from that location, giving crews time to repair the damage.

While crews worked to stem the flow of water, other public works crews worked to sandbag the entire length of the street, trying to hold back the flow.

That move came too late for resident Martin Scaia, whose newly renovated basement was flooded with four feet of water.

“My kids’ bedrooms are down there and they’ve lost everything. They have no clothes … nothing. And the neighbour’s fuel tank is obviously leaking because you can smell diesel fumes in my basement.”

The Oak Bay Fire Department is designated to co-ordinate emergency response in Oak Bay, but were not called in by public works for more than two-andhalf hours, said Assistant Fire Chief Cam Thomson.

By late evening, all affected residents had found temporary housing and an emergency shelter set up at the Oak Bay Recreation Centre had closed.

Water service was restored to the block Tuesday evening and

by Wednesday morning, B.C. Hydro had inspected and certified homes to be safe, allowing for power to be restored.

Women’s empowerment key to fundraiser for Uganda A local clothing designer and retailer is hosting a musical fundraiser Dec. 1 to help women in Uganda get on their feet financially.

Charis Zillman of Trunk and Bobbin clothing in Victoria is focusing her efforts on raising money for

the Youth Focus Africa Foundation.

The initiative was created eight years ago by Ugandan native son Valance Lutaisire, who, despite being orphaned went on to become the first university graduate from his village of Lugazi.

The foundation runs two children’s school, has a micro-finance program and operates a women’s empowerment program, teaching women skills that can help them provide for their families.

Zillman has taught sewing classes to women in the town as

part of the empowerment program. Also a folk singer-songwriter, she is among the entertainers for the fundraiser evening.

Most of the donated silent auction items are arts-related.

They range from Zillman’s custom vintage-inspired clothing to

dance-class certificates.

The event gets underway at 7 p.m. at the Church of Our Lord hall, corner of Blanshard and Humboldt streets.

Suggested admission donation is $5. editor@vicnews.com

A literary classic reimagined 1.9.8.4. offers unique local take on Orwell’s dystopian novel Daniel Palmer News staff

Having produced more than 20 plays at Craigdarroch Castle, Metro Theatre and McPherson Playhouse, Ian Case knows a thing or two about what makes good theatre.

He also has a knack for finding the horror in everything.

It’s perhaps no surprise, then, that Case’s production of George Orwell’s 1984 zeroes in on the physical horrors of Big Brother’s absolute grip on power. “(The story) is a very stark reminder of humanity’s ability to be inhuman to humanity,” Case said.

Written by David Elendune, 1.9.8.4. – read as “one, nine, eight, four” to evoke less connection to the year – uses the backdrop of a futuristic dystopia called Victory City.

Case said the audience will notice “gentle implications” of familiar Victoria sights sprinkled throughout the play – think cherry blossoms in Spring – as the torrid love affair develops between Winston (Eric Holmgren)

“Every adaptation I’ve ever seen has this sort of post-industrial era grunge to it, as if they were trying to set the action of the story in Orwell’s time, rather than actually looking at it as if it were Orwell’s future,”

Case said.

The adaptation is Elendune’s first, although the career writer has six plays (including Good Night, Uncle Joe) and a novel under his belt.

He chose 1984 for its iconic value as “that

teenage novel that sits on the wall along with Pink Floyd and hangs over us for the rest of our lives.” That, and there weren’t any copyright restrictions.

“The real key question is, can you stop people from loving one another? That’s the real core of the story,” he said.

A pay-what-you-can evening takes place Nov. 28, with partial proceeds supporting Langham Court Theatre.

A bloody good time Sinful singer Theodore Trout, alternative-rock DJ, longtime agent provocateur of The Fish Show, and crazed animator, has released his spawn. Five years in the making, Trout’s faithful retelling of Bram Stoker’s Dracula through a vibrant new lens is at once a thrilling riff and an eye-popping feat of indie filmmaking.

Vampire maven Zahir Blue claims, “Dracula Lord of the Damned looks like it was done on a budget that would pay for maybe a nice car, but with a startling imagination behind it.

Every frame looks amazing, with imagination taking the place of expensive digital effects.

Here is a Dracula demonic yet human, sexual and predatory, deluded, horrific, alien and somehow tragic.”

The phantom monk of folk-blues, Kelly Joe Phelps‚ plays Hermann’s Jazz Club‚753 View St., Sunday, Nov. 25 at 8 p.m.

It’s a lonely road to go down and like the old gospel says, Kelly Joe Phelps you’ve got to walk it for yourself.

Phelps has been doing lot of soul searching since his last record, Western Bell, came out in 2009. Three years later, his journey wound its way to a recording studio in Vancouver, where Phelps beat a path to veteran producer Steve Dawson’s door with a new batch of songs that reflect both new insights gained along his journey, as well as things that dropped by the wayside. Together Phelps and Dawson embarked on a recording odyssey that marked their fourth collaboration, the result is Phelps’ latest release, Brother Sinner and the Whale.

VICTORIA NEWS - Friday, November 23, 2012 Scott Laughlin and John Perry of B.C. Hazmat look through the rubble remaining from a home demolition on Adelaide Avenue in Saanich last week. The home was torn down to allow crews to remediate the property, after heating oil flooded the site last February. The cleanup involves digging out remaining pockets of oil.

Sharon Tiffin/News staff

Home leveled after oil fiasco Property torn up, the result of a mistaken fuel delivery Kyle Slavin News staff

A Saanich home that was the site of a large heating oil spill last February has been torn down to allow for environmental repair of the property.

The spill, which occurred on Feb. 3, was the fourth incident in Saanich since November 2011 in which home heating oil leaked into the natural surroundings.

This spill, however, wasn’t the result of a faulty tank or fuel line.

Rather, an employee of Island Pacific Oil mistakenly pumped more than 300 litres of heating oil into the wrong house on Adelaide Avenue.

Dave Rogers, senior incident commander for private company B.C. Hazmat, said the property at 2853 Adelaide Ave. should have been torn down in February to get access to whatever oil may be left on the property.

It took until now for Pacific Oil and the homeowner to come to an agreement on a remediation plan, he said. “The problem is the house is built on top of a huge, huge rock, and ‌ the oil just flowed on top of (it),â€? Rogers said.

“We couldn’t get underneath the house (to access the oil) without destroying the integrity of the house.�

Crews from B.C. Hazmat were on site last week tearing down the home and clearing the lot.

This week they’ve been back at the site taking their cues from Jed Clampett, as Rogers put it. “We’re looking for oil.�

Because B.C. Hazmat contained much of the spilled oil in February, Rogers said, there are no greater environmental concerns on the property now than when the spill occurred.

Although the oil is contained, it’s still on the property and it needs to be extracted and removed, as mandated by the Ministry of Environment.

Before the province will sign off on an oil spill site, it needs to have proof that the groundwater is as clean as drinking water, Rogers said.

A spokesperson for the Ministry of Environment said Island Pacific Oil immediately acknowledged responsibility for the spill and has been working with the homeowner since February.

Calls for comment to Island Pacific Oil and Federated Insur-

ance, Island Pacific’s insurance company, have not been returned to the News.

The Adelaide Avenue property has two main pockets of contamination – at the front of the house and under the foundation in the back south side.

B.C. Hazmat plans to dig out soil and have it tested for hydrocarbons until it finds only clean earth. Contaminated soil will be trucked off site.

Rogers estimates that work on the Adelaide property – from cleanup and teardown costs to building a new home – will reach $750,000. “This one was extreme. We’ve never had to tear (a house) down because of an oil spill before,� he said. “This was just an unfortunate mistake.�

Last winter and spring saw six known oil spills occur in Saanich. Two of those spills saw a combined 1,600-plus litres contaminate the Colquitz River.

Rogers said his company usually responds to one oil spill per month on Vancouver Island.

Since January, B.C. Hazmat has responded to 36 spills south of Comox. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Students launch UVic into the space race Team nets third in national satellite building challenge Edward Hill News staff

A blue glowing laser light draws the eye to mechanical gizmos and circuit boards, all crammed into a rectangular metal frame about the size of a loaf of bread.

This small, humble device is the University of Victoria’s first shot at designing and building a micro-satellite. If the university had a space engineering program, this would be its Sputnik.

But this project was completed by a small group of electrical engineering students who worked in their spare time to complete the UVic ECOSat project, the school’s entry into the Canadian Satellite Design Challenge.

Originally a competition involving 12 universities, the UVic crew made the final round of three in Ottawa in September, a brilliant accomplishment for an underdog team with little funding, few resources and originally, scant knowledge of satellite design.

“When we started in January 2011, none of us knew anything about aerospace or space,” admits Justin Curran, 26, chief engineer of the ECOSat project.

“We came in 100 per cent cold.”

Each university team had a

Two years of work is encapsulated in this small metal frame that is the beginning of the University of Victoria space program. Shayne Casavant, left, Dan Kennedy, Justin Curran and Justin Saukarookoff are part of the team of UVic engineering students who attempted to build a micro-satellite. goal to build a “3U” cube satellite – 10 by 10 by 33 centimetres, weighing about four kilograms – housing a payload of real experiments, wired to receive and transmit data and tough enough to be punted from a rocket carrying a large satellite into orbit.

The UVic group quickly found out that a DIY satellite-building guide doesn’t exist. In an age where seemingly anything can be found online, the ECOSat team found little to guide their construction of a device that can withstand the rigors of near-earth

orbit, 900 kilometres up.

The team would cold-call engineers at companies such as McDonald Detwiller and Associates, a Vancouver-based technology company that designs satellites. “You work in a vacuum. No one tells you how to do it. It’s a lot of trial and error,” said ECOSat engineer Dan Kennedy, 24.

The project had a $25,000 budget, which helped pay for a co-op student, materials and industrial grade circuit boards, as opposed to notoriously expensive spacegrade electronics, which have

been subjected to radiation.

“Overall we did a good job with the budget we had. We had three payload changes, and changes on how the satellite was configured.

Nine months ago everything was thrown out and we started from scratch,” Curran said.

Key to the entire venture was finding experiments that could fit within the chassis, and wouldn’t overload other electronics.

Fortunately for the team, recently graduated UVic electrical engineer Shayne Casavant, 26, works for Esquimalt-based AGO

Environmental Electronics, which donated the experiment equipment and rescued the project.

The payload experimental components centre around the magnetic properties of pyrolitic graphite. Had the ECOSat been launched into space, the remarkably novel experiments would measure how pyrolitic graphite shields components from radiation and how it could be used to control the orbit of a satellite, among other properties.

“Controlling guidance only by magnetics has never been done before,” Casavant said. “The idea is to use it for a drive system in micro-gravity. With no gravity, even with a little force you’ll get high acceleration.

Concordia University won the first round of the satellite challenge, and has a chance that its device will be launched into orbit.

The UVic team expects to submit an improved design in a few years to a second round of competition, although it will need a new generation of students to take over.

“We’ve got two years to find new kids to pick up where we left off,” notes Justin Saukarookoff, 24, who worked as a co-op student on ECOSat. “Anyone out there entering university in a year or two, this is a good point to join the club.”

One-upping big bro Marcus Davis AAA Player of the Year Travis Paterson News staff

When Terrell Davis is your big brother, meeting the expectations he set as a player can seem a bit daunting.

The former Mount Douglas Rams running back won just about everything there was to win at the AAA high school football level.

But it hasn’t taken long for younger brother Marcus, two years Terrell’s junior, to find a way to make a mark of his own. Marcus was named B.C.’s AAA Player of the Year on Monday, the ultimate accolade for a high school player.

“Usually it goes to a senior but I guess I proved myself to the voters,” said Davis, still just 16. “It’s pretty cool, and it’s hard to follow in (Terrell’s) footsteps, but I think I’ve oneupped him.”

The award takes into account a player’s all around game, and no one is as dynamic in all areas of the field as Davis.

“According to this year’s statistics, one in every five times Marcus touches the football he scores a touchdown, which is nothing short of amazing,” said Rams head coach Mark Townsend.

“He’s is our hybrid offensive player and is equally dangerous lining up either as a (wide) receiver or as running back,

SPORTS NEWS IN BRIEF Vikes on the road against Golden Bears, Pandas The UVic Vikes men’s basketball team let an 11-point lead slip away in the third quarter of their match at UVic’s McKinnon Gym on Saturday, but hung on to win 77-63 over the Trinity Western Spartans.

The Vikes men are now 5-1 in the Canada West conference. They retook a comfortable 19-point lead late in the game with three-pointers from Brandon Dunlop, Brin Taylor and Terrell Evans.

Michael Acheampong led the scoring for UVic with 17 points on Saturday and 20 points in the Vikes’ 71-61 loss to the Spartans on Friday.

The Vikes women’s basketball team outclassed the Spartans in both of their meetings, 72-59 on Saturday and 73-61 on Friday. Debbie Yeboah led the Vikes in scoring in both games with 23 and 25 points.

The Vikes men’s and women’s teams are away today (Nov. 23) and tomorrow against the Alberta Golden Bears/Pandas and Saskatchewan Huskies.

Both games are broadcast live on canadawest.tv.

Mount Doug’s Marcus Davis carries against the Terry Fox Ravens at Westhills Stadium on Friday (Nov. 16). Davis scored four touchdowns, one of them an 82-yard kick return. and is an outstanding kick returner.”

Davis has returned a kick or punt for a touchdown five times. He plays cornerback on defence.

“For Marcus to win this

award is a tremendous achievement, especially considering he’s only in Grade 11.”

Davis can’t be recruited by the NCAA until next summer, but has already received a letter of interest from Penn State,

hoping to draw his attention.

Stopping Maleek Travis Paterson News staff

His name is Maleek Irons and the W.J. Mouat Hawks tailback is the single most dangerous football player in all of B.C. The Mount Douglas Rams face the Hawks in the provincial AAA semifinals tomorrow (Nov. 24), 5:30 p.m. at UBC’s Thunderbird stadium. It’s a rematch of last year’s Subway Bowl, when the Rams rallied from behind to win 42-35.

To say Irons is the central figure of Saturday’s game is an understatement.

Without him, the Hawks would come unhinged. Problem is, he’s been unstoppable, including a five-touchdown game against the Rams, a 52-49 Hawks’ win on Oct. 13.

“Mouat has a tremendous offensive line who are quick enough to get to the linebacker level and obviously an outstanding running back in Irons,” Townsend said.

“We know all too well what (Irons) is

capable of. He has tremendous leg drive and the ability to break through tackles and admittedly we did not do a good job in tackling him in our first meeting.”

Last week Irons scored a season-high seven touchdowns to lead the Hawks to a 55-22 victory over the West Vancouver Highlanders in the B.C. AAA quarterfinals.

In the process, Irons set a new single-season rushing record of 3,184 yards in 11 games, surpassing the 3,173 yards registered by Reg Bradshaw of the Centennial Centaurs back in 2001.

Irons has also scored a mind-boggling 43 touchdowns.

“Every time we play there’s always sparks that are flying. It’s going to be another good game,” Marcus Davis said.

“They’re not as strong in the passing game, so if we shut down the running game we’ll come out with a victory.”

The Rams are one of the youngest AAA teams in the province, with just nine players set to graduate from the 30 man ros-

Each of the 58 students achieved an 80 per cent average or higher in the classroom.

Vikes, Bays meet in playoff towards Island’s Barnard Cup One week after a massive come-frombehind victory over the Castaway Wanderers, the UVic Vikes face an even stiffer test.

On Saturday the Vikes host the James Bay Athletic Association in a Vancouver Island Rugby Union match that goes towards the storied Barnard Cup Island championship.

Kick off is 2:45 p.m. at Wallace Field.

Last week James Bay had a bye while the Vikes, down 12-6 at half, came back to top the Castaway Wanderers 23-17.

The Velox Rugby Club’s under-19 men’s side showed promise this season, bettering local rivals James Bay and Castaway Wanderers to make the Island U19 final.

But on Sunday (Nov. 18) Velox lost in the Island final to Cowichan, 38-5. Castaway Wanderers beat James Bay 31-28 in the consolation final.

Castaway Wanderers dominated at the boys U17 level, defeating Nanaimo 53-7 in that final.

At 5-foot-4, Émilie Wong epitomizes what the Lambrick Park Lions volleyball team is all about.

“We’re a short team, a scrappy team. We were the smallest team at the (AA) Island championshps and we’ll probably be the smallest team at provincials,” said coach Chris Koutougos.

Despite winning the Island championship at St. Michaels University School last week, the Lions do not have a top-three finish in their sights when they attend the AA girls provincials, beginning Nov. 29 in Nanaimo.

Instead, the team which won AA silver at the past two provincials is hoping for a top-10 spot.

“We’re confident in our hard work and no matter what the outcome we’ll be happy,” Wong said.

Wong is part of a core of Grade 11 players on the team returning to the Lions next year, and this year is building towards that.

The team uses heart in place of height, of which Koutougos estimates the team’s average is 5-foot-6.

“We win games we have no business winning, our strength is in our team,” Koutougos said.

Before defeating Brentwood College in the Island final, the Lions had to survive the semifinal. Host St. Michaels had the Lions on the rope in the fourth set, with leads of 9-2 and 19-12.

“To face elimination (in the fourth set) then win the way we did, on a 13-4 run, is unheard of.

It was the best I’ve ever seen (St. Michaels) play but we were able to rally.”

Wong’s calming demeanour and competitive nature was crucial to the Lions in that game against St. Michaels, said Koutoutgos.

It’s one of her greatest strengths, and reasons she is captain of the Lions. Wong is following in the footsteps of a chain of great Lambrick Park captains.

Last year it was Tyger Holt, a 6-foot-2 rookie now playing vol-

Wong was a teammate with both of them, making this her third straight trip to provincials.

“I was pretty small kid in Grade 9, and (Gmitroski) had to pump me up. Whenever I think about how to lead, I think about what they did. (Holt) pushed us a lot, too.”

Wong is also contemplating a college start to her post-secondary studies so she can keep playing volleyball. But it’s not such a simple decision for the awardwinning academic.

She has a 4.0 GPA and had the top chemistry 11 mark last year, as a Grade 10 student.

“I’m hoping for a (university) scholarship in both, and I’ve given a little thought to starting at Camosun. I know the coach (Chris Dahl) and that would be

DEATHS

DEATHS

REGINA MARY (BONOKOSKI) ROOZENDAAL September 6, 1932 – November 19, 2012 Death is God’s way of saying “your table is ready my good and faithful servant�. Regina passed away peacefully on November 29 with family members by her side.

In spite of serious lung and liver problems, she approached each day with a smile and found joy in dedicating herself to her family, friends and the church. She ultimately succumbed to cancer following a brief hospital stay.

Regina was born in Torquay, Saskatchewan, the 13th of 15 children, and will be remembered by all who knew her for her laughter, warm smile and wonderful pies. She is especially missed by her four children: Pattie Roozendaal, Mary-Lou (Don) Huculak, Sam (Patti) Roozendaal, Maureen (Dave) Drake; six grandchildren: Alyssa, Richie, Stephanie, Siemon, Anna and Marc; four surviving sisters and brother in Saskatchewan; as well as many nieces and nephews in the Bonokoski family. A Prayer Service will be held on Friday, November 23 at 7:00 p.m. and a Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, November 24 at 2:00 p.m., both at Immaculate Conception Church, 839 Sutherland Ave., Kelowna, BC. As an expression of sympathy, memorial donations may be made to The Seton House of Prayer, 5819 Chute Lake Road, Kelowna, BC, V1W 4L5.

Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springďŹ eldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.

Give them control.

GIVE THEM A PAPER ROUTE! A paper route is about so much more than money.

These days kids want and need so many things. With a paper route they not only earn the money to buy those things, they also gain a new respect for themselves. 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.

All it takes is an hour or so after school Wednesday and Friday.

And even better... there are no collections required.

Highlands landfill asks for asbestos Charla Huber News staff

Yellow bags of asbestos may one day find their way to a Highlands landfill.

“Asbestos is only hazardous if it’s airborne,” said Reinhard Trautmann, facilities co-ordinator of Highwest Landfill. “You could eat it and not have a problem.

You could mix it with water and drink it and be safe.”

Trautmann found metal tape in his home containing asbestos during recent novations.

Highwest Landfill applied for a permit from the province to also dispose of asbestos, but the request has not been granted yet.

If granted, the facility would accept asbestos double bagged in identifiable yellow plastic. If the landfill starts to accept asbestos, Trautmann said most likely it would only be accepted on cer-

tain days and would have to be contained before it was brought on site.

Then the bags would be buried in a separate area of the landfill.

“It has to be double bagged no mater what,” Trautmann said.

“Once it’s buried it’s fine. As long as you don’t inhale it through your nose (or mouth) you are fine.”

Many older home building sup-

plies contain small amounts of asbestos including certain types of insulation, linoleum and counter tops. Even items containing one per cent asbestos have to be bagged and disposed of properly.

The Red Lion Inn’s manager is set to make his first court appearance today after allegedly stabbing five hotel employees with scissors last Saturday evening.

Zhi Wei “Wally” Meng, a minority shareholder in the Saanich hotel, is charged with five counts of aggravated assault.

The Red Lion ownership and management released a statement Nov. 20 wishing the victims, who were treated in hospital and have since been released, a speedy recovery.

It described the attack as “random and isolated” and that all operations within the hotel have reopened.

Meng has been placed on a leave of absence pending the outcome of the ongoing police investigation.

Oak Bay council’s decision to replace the aging four-court tennis bubble at the Oak Bay Recreation Centre with another bubble has moved one member of the district’s recreation commission to speak out against the move.

In an open letter to mayor and council, Brian Yellin said the move means Oak Bay will lose a “once in a generation opportunity” to improve the facility through the construction of a permanent tennis structure.

“The life expectancy for the replacement bubble is 25 years,” said Yellin.

“By making this move, we’ll be stuck with an environmentally unfriendly, inferior facility for that long before we get a chance to replace it. It’s utter nonsense.”

Although consideration had been given to a permanent structure, according to Mayor Nils Jensen, this is not the time to build it.

“In order to replace it with a permanent structure, it would have to be relocated in terms of space and

to tie in with the plan to eventually day-light Bowker Creek,” said Jensen.

“We’d have to look at other locations.”

Jensen said the decision is in line with the report of the recreation commission whose recommendation appeared in the commission’s September minutes and were subsequently approved in October.

He maintained that it’s the right decision for the moment.

“We’ve already committed funds to the Neighbourhood Learning Centre and the community theatre,” he said. “Now is not the time to undertake another significant project of this kind.”

“I don’t buy that argument,” said Yellin.

He added that the recreation commission only recommended the replacement of the tennis bubble because council had made its wishes clear on the matter prior to the recommendation being made.

“It’s no use having a commission if it’s not to provide sober second thought to council,” Yellin said. reporter@vicnews.com

Police encountered a “volatile and chaotic” scene at the hotel around 4:30 p.m. last Saturday, where they immediately found multiple victims at multiple bloody crime scenes inside the hotel.

The victims were attacked in the hotel’s Jade Fountain Restaurant, which was not open to the public at the time.

More employees were attacked with scissors in the kitchen, and later, the front desk clerk in the hotel lobby.

“This is a police officer’s nightmare. (The hotel is) described as a honeycomb of hallways. A facility this size, something this confusing with people everywhere and you’re not sure who’s a victim – it’s literally a worst nightmare,” said Saanich police Sgt. Dean Jantzen.

Oak Bay Light Up turns on the holidays This year’s Oak Bay Light Up is bigger, better and brighter than ever.

The 12th annual Oak Bay Christmas Festival opening celebration on Nov. 25 offers a greater variety of music and activities than ever before. The line up for the Oak Bay Light Up includes a hip hop dance show, a performance by the Daniel Lapp Trio, the B.C. Fiddle Orchestra and the Joy of Life Choir.

“Light Up is a popular event and we wanted to present more activities for families as well as expand the musical offerings,” said Oak Bay Business Improvement Association President Elizabeth Smith. “It’s a great way to celebrate the start of the season.”

The family fun begins at 2 p.m. in Oak Bay Village with a bouncy castle, street hockey games for kids ages two to 10 years old and Let’s Play Wheelchairs, where children have the opportunity to discover sports from the perspective of a wheelchair athlete.

There will also be face painting, giant board games and a roving magician presenting Christmas-themed magic tricks.

Trucks from the Lighted Truck Parade will also be at the event, including the 80-foot-long Galey Farm entry and an illuminated Canada Post van. Canada Post employees will be collecting letters for delivery directly to Santa

1948 Dodge Custom convertible? replaces original bought in 1951 It’s not often you can replicate an amazing part of your life when you are in your senior years. But Bill Barlow did just that by acquiring a classic car that was identical to ALYN EDWARDS the 1948 Dodge custom CLASSIC convertible he bought RIDES off a used car lot when he was 21 years old.

The year was 1951 and it was amazing to have a convertible in those days. There weren’t many of them and used convertibles were usually worn out. Bill had known this convertible all his life as it was a standout in his home city of Galt, On., an hour west of Toronto.

A convertible was a rare sight in Galt when Bill was young and he loved the blue convertible that George Schultz bought new at the local Chrysler dealership. Within two years, ownership of the car passed to local realtor Spencer Dalton. “I always admired that car and saw an opportunity in 1951 when I drove by a used car lot and saw it for sale,� Bill recalls. Then 21 years old, he traded in a 1949 Austin. “I went to see my banker to borrow the money and he said, ‘You’re supposed to trade up not down.’�

He says the only other convertible in Galt was a black Mercury of similar vintage owned by another young man.

He drove the Dodge home and used it occasionally until 2004 when he committed it to a full restoration.

Both Dodge convertibles owned by Bill Barlow were very well-optioned cars for the era. Powered by a six cylinder flathead engine driven through a Fluid Drive semi automatic transmission, other features include a radio, electric clock, lighter, spotlight, dual fog lights, a backup light, grille guard and an external valve to check the pressure in the spare tire while it is stored in the trunk.

Bill is now 81 and has fond memories of cruising his three-yearold 1948 Dodge Custom convertible all the way to Boston and back in 1952 and how the memory of that car was brought to life with the purchase of the identical car 30 years later.

Dodge. By 1956, the couple was starting a family and it was time to sell his cherished convertible. He traded it in on a 1951 Studebaker Starlight coupe.

He had been driving for Barlow Cartage and Storage, a trucking company started by his grandfather and operated by his father. “I got my driver’s license at 15 after my father told the license office that I was needed in the business,” he says.

The years went by with Bill and his wife raising a family and keeping the business going. He was a city councillor for 10 years and the local Conservative Member of the Provincial Parliament for two terms.

In 1982, Bill spotted an advertisement for a 1948 Dodge Custom convertible for sale in the Toronto Star classified section. He called the owner in Fort Erie, On. and held his breath when he asked for the

The 100th Grey Cup is set to roll, and Nissan – the official automotive partner of the Canadian Football League – is gearing up for the big game this Sunday by supporting several fanfocused events.

For 10 days and 11 nights, the city of Toronto will celebrate the 100th Grey Cup through various events in the downtown core, including the 100th Grey Cup Festival Family Zone hosted

by Nissan.

Yonge-Dundas Square will be dominated by Nissan with practically all of the billboards in the vicinity promoting Nissan’s new 2013 models.

The Nissan Family Zone will be bustling with excitement; offering plenty of activities for the whole family.

Nissan is providing 30 new 2013 vehicles as official Grey Cup Festival VIP transportation.

Included in this mix will be the much-anticipated all-new 2013 Nissan Pathfinder.

The Nissan Family Zone will feature the all-new Altima, several vehicle displays, a mini-football field for children to learn and play, food stations and live entertainment. On top of that, the legendary CFL player and five-time Grey Cup Champion Warren Moon will be stopping by the Nissan display on

Saturday afternoon, Nov. 24, to answer fans’ questions.

On the afternoon of Sunday, Nov. 25th, the Sun Life Grey Cup Fan March will wind its way through the streets of downtown Toronto to Rogers Centre and a Nissan Pathfinder will open this fan march.

During this fan march, many participating fans will have the unique opportunity to carry the Grey Cup trophy alongside legendary CFL players from past Grey Cup games.

On Grey Cup Sunday, the festivities will kick off at 12:30 p.m. from Varsity Stadium, the site of 30 past Grey Cups, with the Sun Life Grey Cup Fan March leaving the Stadium at 1:45 p.m.

Ford’s new seven-passenger people mover expected to be the first to exceed 30 MPG METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM

Ford plans to introduce the first seven-passenger people mover expected to break the (US) 30 mpgplus highway barrier with the all-new Transit Connect Wagon, which drives like a car, has the flexibility of a utility and can haul the payload of a full-size pickup.

Transit Connect Wagon is offered in five- and sevenpassenger configurations, and in XL, XLT and Titanium series levels.

Ford claims no other wagon in the market today offers the convenience of fold-flat seating, at least a 1,200-pound (540 kilograms) payload and more than 100 cu ft (2,800 litres) of cargo space.

When properly equipped, this versatile wagon is approved to tow up to 2,000 lb (908 km).

Transit Connect Wagon offers customers a choice between two fuel-efficient four-cylinder engines – a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine and an optional 1.6-litre EcoBoost that is estimated to deliver (US) 30 mpg-plus on the highway.

This powertrain makes Transit Connect Wagon the gas mileage leader among seven-passenger vehicles.

Both engines come mated to a convenient six-speed automatic transmission, geared for aroundtown responsiveness and low-rpm highway cruising.

Transit Connect Wagon is available in a wide variety of configurations and series levels, offering unexpected features in a high-value package with low operating costs.

Ford’s Transit Connect Wagon offers seven-passenger seating and the ability to tow up to 2,000 lb (908 kg).

SLEEP SNORING? APNEA? As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D. Often snorers also have sleep apnea which causes being tired all day, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, irregular heartbeats (per FDA website). Millions suffer needlessly and can stop their nightly ordeals.

To my surprise, after taking Bell Snoring & Sleep Apnea Relief #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep #23 through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning.

Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine.

I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON.

Stem Cell Activator

Helps to activate naturally millions of stem cells from our own bone marrow. The increase in stem cells released from the bone marrow into the blood stream have the potential to become other types of tissue cells with specialized function. Stem cells will multiply and are able to become heart cells, liver cells or any other organ. Located everywhere in our body, stem cells are even under our skin layered between the epidermis and dermis. This is why an increase in stem cells under our skin may help to create a more youthful cell that would replenish elastin and collagen and thus may make us look younger. If our bone marrow does not produce enough stem cells this can result in many illnesses, especially a weak heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas, in fact all healthy functions of our body are decreased.

Sufficient stem cells in our body have a great potential of self-repair and the ability to rejuvenate tissues.

It does not contain live human stem cells as these can only be transplanted by surgery and are subject to immuno-suppressant drugs to avoid graft rejection. Naturopathic Doctor summarized his experience in writing after using this Stem Cell Activator: Used for all organ and tissue damage, heart attack damage, osteo-arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic brain injury, muscular dystrophy, Crohn’s disease, diabetes, lupus, spinal injuries, and other diseases and tissue damage. The results have been #63 very satisfactory to us and to the patients and the time varies with different patients depending on the extremity of the damage. Women witnessing the effects of Bell Stem Cell Activator: Women looking for antiaging help! We all want to slow down aging. After using a bottle of Bell Stem Cell Activator #63 my skin seemed smoother and brighter. My hair looked healthier. It seems to have a cleansing effect. I’m delighted. Leona McCormick, 50, Clgary, AB All around healing effect! The first thing I noticed after starting Bell Stem Cell Activator #63 was that my skin feels firmer and stronger. My friends commented that my skin looks more vibrant. My doctor at my yearly physical told me that my blood pressure is significantly lower. Many good things are happening. Joy Davison, 55, Calgary, AB

Honda has revealed an electric micro car designed for short-range electric travel.

Honda unveils its micro-sized electric vehicle METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM

Honda has unveiled the Micro Commuter Prototype, a micro-sized, short-distance EV commuter.

The vehicle was developed in consideration of the vehicle categories for micro-sized mobility products currently being discussed in Japan Using vehicles based on this prototype model, Honda will begin demonstration testing in Japan in 2013.

The demonstration testing will verify the potential of the vehicle in various uses including supporting everyday shortdistance transportation for families with small children and for senior citizens, home delivery services, commuting and car sharing.

Advancing the Micro Commuter Concept that was first

introduced at the Tokyo Motor Show 2011, this prototype model realized a cabin space to seat one driver and two children in the micro-sized body.

The adoption of the Variable Design Platform positions components such as the battery, motor and control unit under the floor and in the rear space to concentrate the vehicle driving functions into a compact space.

This made it comparatively easier to develop and produce a body and interior that accommodates various uses and customers’ needs than existing vehicles.

Other features of this model include the use of a user-owned tablet device for the application of functions such as meter display, navigation, audio and back-up camera display, and the ability to charge the battery of the tablet using solar cells mounted on the vehicle roof.

A team of gym members from England has smashed two Guinness World Records for the number of people inside both a classic Mini and a 2012 MINI. Twenty-eight flexible ladies crammed their way into the MINI Hatch at Potters Fields Park, London as part of the eighth annual Guinness World Records day.

The team broke their own previous record of 27 people, which they set last year.

The ladies made full use of every inch of space available in the MINI, including the dashboard, the footwells and they even managed to squeeze four people in the trunk.

As soon as they celebrated their first record the ladies dashed off to the ITV studios to attempt the second record live on This Morning, where by squeezing a staggering 23 ladies into a classic Mini, they managed to beat the previous record by two people.

Gym members have set a new world record for people crammed into a MINI – 28.

GT3 offers performance for the road METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM

Mercedes-AMG has announced the high-end super sports car version of the gull-wing model, the new SLS AMG Coupe Black Series.

Inspired by the SLS AMG GT3 racing version, the fifth Black Series model from Mercedes-AMG boasts a fascinating mix of breathtaking design, outstanding driving dynamics and uncompromising lightweight construction in accordance with the “AMG Lightweight Performance� strategy.

With a kerb weight of 1550

kilograms, the SLS AMG Black Series achieves a power/weight ratio of 2.45 kg/hp.

The AMG 6.3-litre V8 engine generates a power output of 631 hp at 7,400 rpm and accelerates the most dynamic gull-wing model of all time to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds.

The coil-over AMG RIDE CONTROL performance suspension, the AMG ceramic high-performance composite brake system and the weightoptimized forged AMG light-alloy wheels with newly developed sports tires combine with the electronically controlled AMG rear-axle differential lock and the AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT

seven-speed sports transmission featuring an uncompromisingly emotional shift and response times to raise the SLS AMG Black Series to a new level.

The AMG Aerodynamics package is optionally available to further boost the vehicle’s driving dynamics.

Following on from the SLK 55 AMG Black Series from 2006, the CLK 63 AMG Black Series (2007), the SL 65 AMG Black Series (2008) and the C 63 AMG Coupe Black Series (2011), the fifth exponent sees the Black Series entering a new dimension with the gull-wing model.

Mercedes-AMG has announced the SLS AMG Coupe Black Series, the fifth member of AMG’s exclusive Black Series designs.

GM, ABB demonstrate Chevy Volt Battery Reuse Unit METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM

The ABB-GM Volt battery system is the world’s first use of car batteries as possible back-up power for homes and other commercial uses.

General Motors and ABB have showed the next stage in battery reuse – the repackaging of five used Chevrolet Volt batteries into a modular unit capable of providing two hours of electricity needed by three to five average Canadian homes.

The modular unit was designed and built by engineers at GM Canada’s Canadian Engineering Centre in Oshawa, On. The uninterruptable power supply

and grid power balancing system was demonstrated during GM’s Electrification Experience.

The prototype unit provided 25 kW of power and 50 kWh of energy to power all the support lighting and audiovisual equipment in an “off-grid� structure used for the event.

GM and ABB last year demonstrated how a Chevrolet Volt battery pack could be used to collect energy and feed it back to the grid and deliver supplemental power to homes or businesses.

During a demonstration, the energy

storage system was run in a “remote power back-up� mode where 100 per cent of the power for the facility came from Volt batteries through ABB’s Energy Storage Inverter system.

A similar application could one day be used to power a group of homes or small commercial buildings during a power outage, allow for storage of power during inexpensive periods for use during expensive peak demand, or help make up for gaps in solar, wind or other renewable power generation.

Award-winning 1.0-Litre EcoBoost engine coming to North America next year The 2014 Ford Fiesta on sale next year will be the first vehicle available in North America with Ford’s award-winning 1.0litre EcoBoost engine.

Though the car has not yet undergone testing, it is expected to be certified as the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid car available in the United States and Canada.

The smallest engine available in its class, Ford’s patented 1.0-litre EcoBoost

won’t be short on power, torque or refinement. The smooth, quiet-running engine is projected to produce 123 hp and peak torque of 148 lb/ft.

The newest member of Ford’s global EcoBoost engine family, the 1.0-litre will join the most fuel-efficient lineup in Ford Motor Company’s history.

Next year, Ford will offer eight vehicles rated at (US) 40 mpg or higher – double

today’s total, and more than any other automaker. Ford tops Toyota in fuel economy in every segment in which both companies compete.

The 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine in the Fiesta expands Ford’s power of choice strategy by giving customers interested in a very fuel-efficient car a new alternative.

Pricing is not yet set, but as with the other EcoBoost engines available across

Ford’s car, truck, SUV and crossover lineup, the 1.0-litre will be a very affordable option.

The result of the 1.0-litre’s advanced design is a quiet, smooth-running engine that develops roughly the same output as a 1.6-litre four-cylinder. But with about 25 per cent fewer moving parts, the 1.0-litre EcoBoost is able to deliver higher fuel economy and lower emissions.
