Ship collision to delay DND, repair operations Trawler collides with docked navy frigate; six injured in mishap Daniel Palmer News staff

The investigation into a collision between a fishing vessel and a navy frigate at CFB Esquimalt will delay scheduled work at Victoria shipyards, but officials aren’t saying for how long.

On Tuesday morning, The American Dynasty slammed into HMCS Winnipeg,

causing damage to both ships as well as to “C” Jetty, where the Winnipeg was docked.

“That ship (the Dynasty) was on its way into the dock (Tuesday), so clearly that’s delayed, but assessing the impact to Victoria’s ongoing schedule will take some time,” said Brian Carter, Seaspan shipyards president.

The collision occurred as the 90-metre fishing trawler was being escorted by tugboats into the Esquimalt graving dock.

Six of the 65 people working on the Winnipeg at the time of impact were transported to Victoria General Hospital with minor injuries; they have since been discharged.

A DND spokesperson would not confirm

the estimated damage to the Winnipeg, which recently underwent a massive systems retrofit, but admitted there would be a delay to its scheduled operations.

The Department of National Defence owns the Esquimalt graving dock, also known as Victoria Shipyards.

Seaspan leases the drydock from DND for its Victoria-based shipbuilding and ship repair work.

The complex investigation is being led by the Transportation Safety Board and includes the Department of National Defence, Seaspan and American Seafoods Company, owner of the Dynasty. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Did you know? n HMCS Winnipeg was christened in 1994. n Built at the Saint John Shipbuilding Company drydock in New Brunswick, the Winnipeg is one of 12 Canadian patrol frigates in the Canadian Navy, and is considered among the most advanced warships in the world. n It’s capable of anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare and anti-air warfare.

With tepid support, library branch moving to Uptown Kyle Slavin News staff

The Emily Carr branch of the Greater Victoria Public Library is set to move to Uptown, after a narrow vote of approval Tuesday.

In an 8-7 vote, the GVPL board supported approving the relocation of the 40-year-old branch across the street to a 5,000-squarefoot space on the upper level of Uptown.

But the split vote came less as a result of opposition to the move, and more because board members feared outstanding concerns – namely access for patrons with disabilities – could fall by the wayside.

“It wasn’t until I did a site visit that the issue of accessibility became absolutely top

of mind for me. If you have even a moderate disability, it’s a nightmare,” said Victoria Coun. Pam Madoff, a member of the board, regarding accessing the upper level of Uptown as a pedestrian.

Board vice-chair Kevin Murdoch, an Oak Bay councillor, acknowledged that there is a lot of opposition to moving the branch to a leased commercial space at Uptown.

“There’s a lot of ‘I do not want to go to Uptown’ comments. But we have to move it somewhere,” he said.

“Uptown is the logical location for (relocation). I think this is as good as it gets within that space.”

Board member Phil McNair pointed to survey results indicating there isn’t overwhelmingly strong support for relocation.

“To have gone to people and presented one option, I think a lot of people recognize that as ‘this is a fait accompli and you’re not really asking our thoughts on this,’’’ McNair said.

“If we are concerned about library patrons, which to me is our brand … the survey results tell us not to (support) this yet.”

A summary of survey results indicate that 51 per cent of regular Emily Carr patrons said a relocation would be beneficial. More than half said “lots of parking,” “easy to get to” and “easy to find” were the most important factors to be considered in relocating.

The existing Emily Carr branch is “old and outdated,” “poorly configured” and “inaccessible for wheelchair users,” GVPL

deputy CEO Lynne Jordon told the News last month.

Relocating to the new Uptown site will allow for better use of space, and will save money on operational costs, Jordon said.

Board chair Greg Bunyan called the decision a “good move,” and one he believes library patrons will support.

“We have a philosophy to bring the library to the people by co-locating ... to where people go to do more than one thing at a time,” he said, pointing to the Bruce Hutchison and Centennial libraries being co-located at Saanich recreation centres.

“Twenty- to twenty-two-thousand people go to Uptown every day. Those people will now have easy exposure to the library. kslavin@saanichnews.com Advertising Feature

Parc Modern expands with more space, new lines Jennifer Blyth Black Press

Parc Modern furniture has doubled its space in a new location on Bay Street, giving customers more room to comfortably explore the terrific lines and products the store is known for, plus more than a few new surprises.

David and Jody Adelman opened Parc Modern Interiors on Herald Street in 2010, focusing largely on living room furnishings that suited the modern aesthetic and size requirements of today’s condos. With more and more requests from customers looking for the same style in dining room and bedroom furnishings, it became clear they needed more room, David explains.

Not only does the bright and airy new Bay Street location offer 5,000 square feet of display space – including a 50-foot illuminated chair wall perfect for inspiring new ideas – but there’s also ample free parking right in front of the store and a small warehouse on-site for easy pick-up.

“Our customers walk in and they’re just wowed by the selection and space,” David says.

Since moving at the beginning of April, the central location is also attracting many new customers who hadn’t ventured into the downtown store before, he notes.

“We have every category of furniture now – living room, dining room, bedroom and home office. We have storage beds, wood, leather and fabric beds, and the full spectrum of modern floor and table lamps, plus other accessories – lots of choices now that we have the space,” David notes. “We’re truly a full-service store now.”

Creating your perfect space at home is also easier in Parc Modern’s new design centre.

Customers will enjoy relaxing with a beverage from the coffee bar while viewing the latest catalogues on the 60inch flatscreen. The screen provides a larger view of the furnishings and accessories while ensuring homeowners are accessing the most current information. On the green front, the electronic catalogues also allowing the store to improve its environmental footprint with reduced paper consumption, David says.

Among the recent highlights at the new store is the Calvin Klein Custom Rug Program, which lets customers take home carpet samples to try in their space before ordering.

Another highlight, especially here in eco-conscious Victoria, is Magniflex Memory Foam Mattress from Italy. While beautiful to sleep on, the mattress also features organic covers, zero-off-gassing and are hypo allergenic, earning Magniflex the coveted Oeko-tex certification.

More space has also meant more Canadian lines, including two exciting new companies from Montreal, Trica and G.Romano, appealing to fans of clean lines, bright fabrics and customizable options.

While quality, stylish furnishings remain the cornerstone of Parc Modern’s philosophy, underlying everything is David and Jody’s commitment to their customers, demonstrated in the referrals and word-of-mouth advertising they enjoy.

“The store has a pretty good cool factor to it but we still pride ourselves on excellent customer service before everything else,” David says.

No tax increase for Esq. residents Esquimalt residents will see no increase in their property taxes for the second consecutive year, thanks to payments the township receives from the federal government.

Businesses in Esquimalt will see a reduction in their planned property tax rates for 2013, a move intended to spur economic development.

“The input we received … was we have good fiscal management going on, so people were very supportive at staying at zero per cent and giving the business group a bit more benefit,” said Mayor Barb Desjardins.

The unexpected surplus revenue is a result of the federal government’s payments in lieu of taxes program, which compensates municipalities for federal buildings within its borders.

B.C. ELECTION

Parties lay out plans for child care AT ISSUE: Child care and early education Tom Fletcher Black Press

Child care policies offer a clear choice between the B.C. Liberals and the NDP in the May 14 provincial election.

Premier Christy Clark wants to take a provincially funded savings account set up for each child born since 2007, and hand out $1,200 to parents who open a Registered Education Savings Plan to begin saving for post-secondary training.

Former premier Gordon Campbell established the fund when the B.C. government was enjoying budget surpluses, before the 2008 downturn in the world economy.

That’s added to the B.C. Liberal “early years strategy” that includes full-day kindergarten, $142 million for child care subsidies, $34 million for “Success by Six” programs in 225 communities, and an additional $32 million promised over three years to help create new licensed child care spaces.

NDP leader Adrian Dix has promised to cancel the RESP and other new spending, and redirect it to a “Family Bonus Program,” a direct subsidy of up to $70 per month, per child for low-income families starting in 2014.

The NDP plan would pay the full amount to families with annual income of $25,000 or less, with payments decreasing on a sliding scale to families with income under $66,000. Applying to all children under 18, the bonus program is projected to cost $210 million a year.

Platform highlights: n The B.C. Conservative preelection platform offers no specific programs for child care or early childhood education. Its September 2012 policy document supports “the principle that parents are the child’s first and most important teachers.”

B.C. Conservatives also support a school voucher system, “ensuring that taxpayers’ dollars follow the student to provincially

Political parties have a wide range of ideas for care of young children. approved educational options,” and the principle that social services be “delivered by communitybased organizations rather than directly by government.” n The B.C. Green platform promises to create “local child care trusts” monitored by the provincial government. Promised services include “child care, in-home support, emergency and crisis services, a guaranteed livable income and safe and adequate housing.”

The B.C. Green platform offers no cost estimate for any of its programs. n The B.C. Liberals would require school districts to promote use of school property by licensed child care providers from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays, and create a province-wide child care registry. n The B.C. NDP would immediately double earnings exemption for employable income assistance recipients, and allow a further exemption for child maintenance payments. editor@vicnews.com

Scrap Carbon Trust: NDP Tom Fletcher Black Press

NDP leader Adrian Dix chose Earth Day to announce his party’s plan to “dissolve” the Pacific Carbon Trust, and put carbon offset payments from government operations back into energy efficiency projects.

Schools, hospitals and Crown corporations would still pay millions for emissions from their fossil fuel use, Dix announced Monday in Kamloops.

The NDP would also redirect $120 million from the carbon tax on fuels “to fight climate change in both urban and rural areas,” Dix said.

The carbon tax is currently at $30 per tonne of carbon dioxide emissions, which adds seven cents to the cost of a litre of gasoline and comparable amounts to other fuels. The legislation requires it to be “revenue neutral” to the government through reduced income tax rates, so the NDP redirection implies that those rates may increase.

The Pacific Carbon Trust was criticized in a March report from B.C. Auditor General John Doyle, who found the two largest recipients of carbon credits were not “credible” carbon offsets.

A forest preserve in the Kootenays and an EnCana Corp. gas flaring reduction program had already been established without the $6 million in payments from the Pacific Carbon Trust.

B.C. universities paid $4.46 million into the Pacific Carbon Trust in 2011.

B.C.’s 60 school districts paid a total of $5.36 million the same year, and the province’s six health authorities paid $5.79 million.

The B.C. Liberals’ “carbon neutral government” project has been controversial from the start in 2008.

To say cycling was a passion for Bert Buchanan would be an understatement.

Nearly right up to his death at 91 in the fall of 2011, he rode regularly from home to the Victoria YM-YWCA, where he would climb on a stationary bike for an even more strenuous workout.

Herbert Ewart Buchanan was instrumental in getting cycling into people’s consciousness in the 1950s after arriving in the city, through initiating riding groups and organizing cycling trips.

In his later years he cycled competitively in the B.C. Seniors Games, winning medals frequently.

“He was one of those guys who was just here all the time,” recalls the Y’s general manager, Mark Dodd, a longtime employee.

“Even in his late 80s, he would ride his bike here, then take a spin class, have a coffee with the guys and ride his bike home.”

Given the amount of time he spent in the Broughton Street facility and the contributions he made over the years, the board of the YM-YWCA wanted to honour him somehow at the gym.

A perfect opportunity to do so came after it was learned that Buchanan had left a sum of money to the Y in his will.

Nearing 10 years old and at the end of their useful life, the club’s stationary bikes needed replacement, Dodd said.

Not only were 21 new bikes purchased at a cost of around $2,000 each, he says,

“It’s obviously wonderful when we get a bequest like this, especially from somebody like Bert, who was so involved with the Y for such a long period of time,” says YM-YWCA CEO Jennie Edgecombe.

The bequest was not designated, she says, but the Y wanted to recognize Buchanan and the spin room refurbish-

ment seemed the perfect opportunity to put the money to good use.

A ceremony to unveil the new stationary bikes and spin class room was held Monday morning. The Y has installed a plaque in memory of Buchanan, and renamed the space Bert’s Bike Room.

Bong mascot draws ire of Esq. residents Daniel Palmer News staff

The controversy over a bong mascot in Esquimalt continues to gain momentum.

At a Monday council meeting, council directed staff to look into whether the township has the authority to restrict advertising on The Bong Ware-

house, a smoke product shop near Admirals and Esquimalt roads.

The shop’s owner, Ryan Price, has been using a bong mascot periodically to promote his business along Esquimalt Road.

“There was obviously interest in this issue because we had a full house at council (Monday),” said Mayor

Barb Desjardins.

In response to public complaints, Coun.

Tim Morrison brought forward a motion to restrict the use of costumed mascots in public spaces for the purpose of advertising.

The bylaw was forwarded to staff for input, but a second motion by Coun. Dave Hodgins could spell the

end for Price’s mascot as well.

“I made a motion that staff research how we could implement something right away, like a moratorium, to have this mascot cease and desist while the bylaw is being developed,” Hodgins said.

Staff will clarify whether the municipality has the power

to implement a business-specific advertising ban in the coming weeks.

Price said he’s disappointed the township is dedicating public resources to punishing a small business, and believes most of the criticism stems from a lack of understanding about his products.

“I’m not going to just lay down. Quite often, you need to fight for change,” he said, comparing his business to a local pharmacy.

Hodgins said the township is receiving too many complaints to sit back and do nothing.

“I was hoping the business owner would just take the high road and not have this mascot on the street,” Hodgins said.

A staff report will come back to council in the coming weeks on the matter. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Hard pill to swallow Artist raises awareness of the complexity of HIV Kyle Wells News staff

Reyataz. Kaletra. Zerit. Norvir.

The names, strange to pronounce and numerous in variety, adorn pill bottles glued to an eight-foot sculpture of a martini-style cocktail glass.

They are all medications for people with HIV and concurrently bring life and struggle to those infected with the lentivirus.

Oak Bay resident Peggy Frank used to take 49 pills per day. She was diagnosed with HIV in 1987 after a humanitarian trip to Africa.

“I just felt like the medical nomenclature of calling the combination of drugs a cocktail was ironic,” Frank said. “It didn’t feel like a cocktail to me.”

As both an artist and an activist, Frank has constructed the sculpture out of plastic, a steel frame and hundreds of pill bottles. Frank and a friend are heading out May 1 to drive the cocktail glass across Canada, to the Kingsbrae Garden Sculpture Competition in St. Andrews, New Brunswick.

The piece is titled “This is not a cocktail party” and is one of 16 finalists at the competition.

“It’s neat for me because it recognizes the sculpture on its own, without it having to do with health and everything else,” Frank said. “It’s neat when you think of it from that perspective but it’s neat to think it stands on its own as well.”

Thanks to advances in medical science, Frank now only has to take five medications per day.

Not all the bottles in the piece, most of which were donated, are directly HIV medication bottles, but most are related, as HIV and its medications can lead to cholesterol imbalances, heart problems, depression and a myriad of other health concerns.

“The cocktail allows people who are HIV-positive to have the joy of living. And yet it’s more complicated than that,” Frank said.

The piece also features shimmering red ribbons from Kenya, giving the piece an

African connection. Frank has an organization, called positively AFRICA, for which she raises funds and awareness to help support families and orphans living with or affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa.

Different people see different messages or meaning in the piece, Frank said. Although it started out as a meditation on the number of pills people with HIV have to take, Frank said it began to take on new meaning for her as she realized the amount of plastic used to make all the pill bottles.

Frank figures she’s taken more than 2,000 bottles of pills over her 25 years with the virus. That’s a lot of plastic.

“The plastics are not easily disposed of, there’s residue of all the medications in each of those plastic bottles. What do we do with that kind of stuff?”

The cocktail sculpture will be making a series of stops in Canada along the way, where Frank will advocate for the HIV community and promote donations to her organization.

With HIV/AIDS not nearly the newsy talking point it once was, Frank said people living with the illness get somewhat forgotten nowadays. No longer a death sentence, an HIV diagnosis still brings a lifetime of health struggles and a considerable amount of stigma, which Frank believes discourages people from talking about it and getting tested.

“We talk about criminalization of HIV, we talk about people infecting other people, and I really think that’s not the story,” Frank said. “There’s a lot of policies that are based on fear and stigma, and they create a world where HIV is bound to flourish.”

Frank believes a vaccine is on the way in the next 10 to 20 years, and works to make the message of HIV one of hope, progress and life.

“All that research will eventually come up with some kind of resolution. I think we’re going to see a world without AIDS. I am hopeful.

And then, there will be a cocktail party.” reporter@vicnews.com

Hospice Happenings

Walking has long been a natural way for people to cope with the unexpected. That’s why years ago, Victoria Hospice began offering walking groups to help grieving family members work through the loss of their loved ones in a supportive, healthy environment.

So the decision to create Hike for Hospice, an annual fundraising event for Victoria Hospice, was an easy one. On May 5 teams and individuals will gather at Fishermans’ Wharf Park and enjoy a scenic 3.5 km loop walk along Victoria’s waterfront. The hike lets families remember loved ones and encourages supporters to team up to raise funds and awareness for quality end-oflife care.

“This is our second year for Hike for Hospice in Victoria. But we’re part of a larger, nationwide Hike for Hospice event, which is now in its 11th year, put on by the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association,” says Wendy Innes, Victoria Hospice’s Community Relations officer.

How can you get involved? Challenge friends and family to gather sponsors, or enter as an individual, or see what creative fundraiser you can organize at work.

This year’s Hike for Hospice is Sunday May 5th at 9 am in Fisherman’s Wharf Park.

Black Press comes up big Walk-In Saanich Walk-In Denture Clinic Denture Clinic at B.C. newspaper awards WHY WAIT?WE WECAN CANHELP HELP NOW! NOW! WHY WAIT?

Greater Victoria publications earn multiple honours from journalism peers Greater Victoria Black Press newspapers were honoured at last weekend’s Ma Murray Community Newspaper Awards gala in Richmond.

“It was a fabulous evening,” said group publisher Penny Sakamoto. “The awards are a wonderful acknowledgement for all the hard work our staff puts in all year.”

Platforms ignore low-cost child care

T

his week the B.C. Liberals and the NDP laid out their platforms on how they would help mould and support the youngest minds in the province.

The Liberals are offering more of what they’ve been doing, which on the whole has been a boon to young kids and their parents, at least for the past few years.

Under the Liberals, the Ministry of Education has implemented full-day kindergarten, and introduced free StrongStart programs into schools for toddlers and parents, which are overseen by early learning educators.

Leading into the election, the Liberals are pledging $34 million more for existing Success

by Six programs (threatened with deep cuts in 2010) and about $10 million per year for three years to encourage more licenced day care spaces.

The NDP is looking to reroute money promised by the Liberals for registered education plans, and direct it to families, about $70 per kid per month for the lowest income bracket. It also vowed $100 million to reduce child care costs by 20 per cent.

Despite committing plenty of cash for child care, neither party (nor the Greens or Conservatives) have dared to announce anything along the lines of universal child care.

Arguably, a B.C.-wide subsidized licenced child care program would be a natural continuation of publicly funded education happening now, such as StrongStart, Success by Six, full-day K and the Grade 1 to 12 system.

As opposed to topping up existing programs or giving relatively small amounts of cash to people with kids, creating truly affordable child care could make the greatest difference in the lives of working parents.

Child care subsidies already exist for low-income families, but a universal lowcost system could finally free parents from calculating if returning to the workforce after a maternity or paternity leave is worth the typically high monthly cost of child care.

The benefits of quality early childhood education are touted by educators across Canada. The federal government has abandoned any notion of creating universal child care. Our provincial leaders need to take on the challenge.

The recent federal budget recognized the need to address the skills gap – our provincial government needs to do the same.

Unfortunately, at a time when we should be building capacity in colleges, many have had to do more with less. Camosun College faces higher demand and yet in 2013-14 will need to overcome a budget deficit of $2 million. Camosun is not alone. The current funding model does not adequately fund the very institutions that are able to supply the job-ready graduates to fuel B.C.’s economy Over the last 10 years the provincial government has invested substantially in research and graduate programs at B.C.’s research universities including the University of Victoria and the University of British Columbia. No doubt this investment has served the educational needs of many British Columbians.

But now we need the same level of investment in advanced skills training and education at colleges to address the pending skills gap.

It is my hope that after the provincial election, our provincial government will establish an investment plan to help colleges meet the growing demand for highly skilled graduates to fuel B.C.’s competitive advantage.

Education is not an expense; it is an investment. It is time to make an investment in our most critical resource – a highly skilled and educated workforce.

LETTERS Bombing coverage on TV exacerbates fears Re: Don’t let fear hold you back (Our View, April 19) If fear is the weapon of the terrorist, it seems to me that our two main TV stations exacerbated that fear day after day by focusing on the damage done in the horror of the bombing in Boston.

There was plenty of positive news they could have better focused on from this event in Boston, as these people showed both their courage and competency in dealing with this tragedy. The Bostonians remained cool under fire.

This editorial sends the right and encouraging message – we will always be threatened by ideological nuts but the less satisfaction they get from their attacks, the less often will they be motivated to take that chance.

Suzuki’s hollow words distract from meaningful change Re: Energy will determine Canada’s fate (Science Matters, April 19) David Suzuki’s words have turned me off for years, though he has nothing but admirable things to say. And the same thing again in this opinion piece.

Yes, there is a limit to growth and certainly – we cannot keep heating up our planet with unfettered fossil fuel use.

Yes, our governments must stop ignoring the long-term to court short-term electoral success.

So many platitudes echoing tired truths.

All these villains and ‘shoulds’ add to the clutter of our immobilized minds.

TM

Look closely for these villains and most vanish into us. Our governments are us and their actions and inactions, for the most part, reflect our own narrow views and priorities. Real change also involves thoughtful, deep-running, personal courage and change.

I suggest we tune out the paralyzing rhetoric of those who know better, like our well-meaning Suzuki, and exert more daily effort in caring for each other and our precious Earth.

These efforts quietly magnify and heal.

Liberals hypocritically denouncing ‘shakedown’ Whether or not it was inappropriate for the NDP to send a fundraising letter to the Liberals’ big donors asking them for $5,000 to balance government, who is Mike de Jong or any other Liberal to call it a shakedown?

It is the Liberals who shook down the taxpayers for Mr. Basi and Mr. Virk’s $6 million legal bailout; they tried to shake down the school board to balance its budget, and then they found $11 million for Bollywood.

I also find it both funny and pathetic that Don McCrae or any other Liberal candidate question how an NDP government would pay for this or that, when it was the Liberals who spent millions of dollars trying to convince us they are doing a wonderful job.

The Liberals are also making spending announcements, all of which relies on revenue from an industry that B.C. won’t have for at least another four years, if ever: liquefied natural gas.

Ida Chong was quoted as saying there

won’t be money to improve the Malahat Highway until the economy improves.

Whether or not she realizes it, she’s admitted the economy isn’t as strong as her Liberal government wants us to believe.

Enough reasons exist to not build sewage plant I list seven reasons, any one of which should be enough to discredit the idea that Victoria needs a land-based sewage treatment plant. To build one would not be just an irreversible mistake but a perversion.

• A 1984 Royal Commission, examining this exact issue, stated that comparing treatment with long out falls the latter “could be environmentally preferable where conditions were suitable.” Ours are ideal.

• A motion put before the U.S. Congress to require all sea discharges to have secondary treatment was defeated in light of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

• Those who know best are the medical health officers, the biologists and oceanographers who have been monitoring the outfalls for a generation.

Not one believes we should be building such a plant.

• The environment minister’s order to build a plant followed immediately after a report by a U.S. firm that had been retained by the Capital Regional District, but the report conclusions did not specifically recommend such a plant be built. It states that where people reach different conclusions “great deference is due to the expressed will of the electorate.”

• A glance at a map shows all the waste from Greater Vancouver flowing out under Lions Gate Bridge or into the Fraser River, joined by the even greater flow from Everett and Greater Seattle and then past our front door, the relative impact of which is patently negligible.

• The impact of our sewage is negligible but the environmental health and safety impact of building and operating the plant would be substantial. I suspect the equipment exhaust during construction would be greater than our long outfall impact over a generation. Pollution has been ignored; fuel use has been ignored.

• We would rob other needs of upwards of a billion dollars. That alone would be an unforgivable step backwards.

I have been involved in this issue for half my life and it is patent that most politicians do not have the educational background to form sensible judgments on the issue.

Ambulance service to change deployment model Kyle Slavin News staff

B.C. Ambulance Service in Greater Victoria will soon change the way paramedics are deployed to emergencies throughout the region.

But BCAS assures residents there won’t be negative impacts to response times when people call 911.

Paramedics currently start their shifts at one of the seven community-based satellite ambulance stations. Come May 22, employees will begin their day at a central depot on Douglas Street.

“By being more flexible with our resources and being able to move (paramedics and ambulances) effectively, our goal is to improve our ability to respond to incidents,” said Grant Brilz, BCAS district manager for Greater Victoria.

Paramedics will still be sent

model in a way that doesn’t impact patient care and has a strong potential to improve response time,” he said. “Our goal is to provide the best service to the public with the resources we have available.”

Bronwyn Barter, president of Ambulance Paramedics of B.C., the union representing all paramedics in the province, commends the deployment model in theory, but says the union is too understaffed in Greater Victoria to make the change effective.

“Ultimately if you’re not going to increase the amount of paramedics or ambulances that you have, it’s not going to improve the response times and patient care,” she said. “We don’t see this as an improvement to resource allocation or response time.”

The union and BCAS are currently in arbitration discussing the changed deployment model, Bar-

ter said.

Among the topics still of concern to the union is paramedics regularly need to change their uniforms throughout the day, after coming into contact with hazardous materials. With no home base in a community anymore and the potential to start the day deployed at one station and get moved around throughout the shift, spare clean uniforms will have to be carried in the ambulance.

Where Brilz said there will be efficiencies is right now paramedics are required to stock and clean their own vehicles. Under the new model, the ambulances will be in a “ready state” right at the start of shift.

There are 110 full-time and 35 part-time paramedics working in Greater Victoria. At its peak during the day, BCAS has 14 ambulances on shift. kslavin@saanichnews.com

it never hurts to look good

The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, the country’s largest bank, has agreed to take part in financing a large-scale oil refinery proposed for Kitimat.

Kitimat Clean Ltd., a company owned

by Black Press chairman David Black, announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding Thursday. The agreement commits the bank to “be the Chinese financial advisor to Kitimat Clean and cooperate in the financing of the proposed Kitimat refinery and associated pipelines and other elements,” Black said in a statement.

“Chinese companies will be involved in the engineering and construction of the refinery,” Black said. “Up to 100 per cent of the output from the refinery is planned to be sold to Asian markets, including China and India.”

He added that majority control of the businesses will remain in Canada.

Liu Yanping, deputy head of corporate banking, and Huang Jifa, deputy head of investment banking at the Chinese bank, said in the statement: “We are very pleased to be working toward a comprehensive agreement to finance a refinery in Canada, which is planning to export refined fuels to China and other Asian countries in the future.”

Black has suggested his project may grow to include an alternative pipeline proposal, or oil shipped by the CN Rail line.

Foundation battles rare genetic disorder Neurofibromatosis causes tumors to grow along the nerves Megan Cole News staff

When your three-year-old is diagnosed with a rare disease, the Internet is often the first place a parent turns for answers.

Angie and Denis Edroff began searching the web when their daughter Jeneece was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis, they found the B.C. Neurofibromatosis Foundation.

“We connected with them when she was first diagnosed and went to some support group meetings and shared our story, and found out that we weren’t living through this alone,” said Angie.

Support groups were the same for BCNF founder Paul Ralfs began when he formed the foundation in 1984.

Like Jeneece, Ralfs was diagnosed as a child. Thirty years ago, when a tumor between his kidney and spine forced him into Vancouver General Hospital, the journey began for the creation of the foundation.

“I went into the hospital for nine weeks,” said Ralfs.

NF is a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow along the nerves. The term neurofibromatosis is an umbrella name for three distinct disorders that share a common manifestation of tumors that grow in the tissues surrounding nerves.

Ralfs eventually had surgery and the tumor, along with his right kidney were removed. He was unable to work following the surgery, and has been on disability since.

The following year, when he paid a visit to geneticist Dr. Judith Hall for test results unrelated to NF, the idea of starting a B.C. support group came to him.

“By that time I was feeling a need for support,” said Ralfs. “I thought I’d like to start a support group because there wasn’t anything in existence at that time. I thought I would ask her advice, but before I had the chance, she asked me if I wanted to start a group.”

With Hall’s help, Ralfs and 17 people held their first NF support group at Central Park in Burnaby.

Since then, the foundation has grown to include a board of directors and is now based in Victoria.

“They have a lot more programs now than when the foundation first began,” said Ralfs. “We send kids to a children’s camp for NF in the U.S. every summer. We also have a scholarship for those high school students wanting pursue post-secondary and we used to hold a medical symposium, but are now doing webinars on more specialized topics.”

While the foundation continues to raise money and support those with NF, Ralfs said more aware-

ness and education is needed.

“One of the problems for a lot of NF patients is a lot of doctors won’t even take them,” he said. “I think maybe because they don’t feel they can do anything to help the patient or because of their lack of knowledge.”

Jeneece recently ran into what Ralfs is referring to when a large tumor in her leg was discovered.

“Frankly it’s an NF tumor that usually shows up in adults, not someone Jeneece’s age,” Angie said. “They weren’t used to seeing it, and when you’re not used to it, the mentality is to sit, wait and see what happens.”

Because of Angie’s experience working with the BCNF as program co-ordinator, she knew this wasn’t the kind of tumor you want to sit, wait and watch.

Instead Angie reached out to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, and in February Jeneece went to see a specialist.

“He said he’d seen many tumors like Jeneece’s that had gone malignant very quickly,” Angie said.

While the specialist suggested the tumor be removed as quickly as possible, the decision was left to Jeneece due to potential side effects of more paralysis in her leg or more pain – a risk the teen was willing to take.

“He managed to debulk the tumors and she has had very little pain now, and no paralysis. There is a bit more sensitivity, but that’s to be expected at this point in the game.

The tumor wasn’t malignant, so that is also a plus,” Angie said.

While the outcome of Jeneece’s surgery was positive, Ralfs would like to see a clinic built in co-ordination with Jan Friedman’s NF research lab at the University of British Columbia.

The foundation is currently looking into the logistics of a clinic, including hiring a part-time co-ordinator and finding funding.

Anyone interested in helping the BCNF, can take part in a few upcoming events including the Scotiabank Vancouver Half-Marathon and 5km Walk on June 23.

Victoria man vows to tell Malala’s story Edward Hill News staff

One Tuesday last October, a gunman stormed a school bus in the Swat District of Pakistan and shot Malala Yousafzai in the head. It was a brazen attempt to silence a young girl who dared to speak out for women’s rights.

The attack on Malala made headlines around the world. The fearless 15-year-old, who wrote about life under the rule of the Pakistani Taliban survived two bullets, and after a number of surgeries, she was eventually flown to the U.K. to recover. In Victoria, veteran journalist Mohsin Abbas knew this was the time to document her story for the world.

“The moment (Malala) was attacked I wanted to jump in. I know the nature of her story and the impact of her story. I knew how Canada would respond,” said Abbas, 38, and who lives in Saanich. “There was no time to wait. I just thought it up and left. I jumped on a plane and started filming the (people) in her life.”

Abbas, who was born and raised in Pakistan and worked there as a journalist until 2002, hired a film crew in Pakistan and conducted interviews in and around Malala’s home in the Swat Valley, from November until March this year.

Shooting the documentary was profoundly dangerous work – Abbas narrowly

Victoria filmmaker Mohsin Abbas, left, in the village of Mingora in the Swat District of Pakistan, where he was shooting a story about Malala Yousafzai, a teen who advocated for the education and freedom of females within the highly tribalistic and traditional society. escaped bomb blasts at two locations during interviews. “Her enemies are enemies of myself,” he said. “It’s quite dangerous to do that work. But now I’m going back to finish the film. We have to tell the story.”

Four years ago, Malala started blogging

under a pseudonym through the BBC Urdu service. A documentary on Malala by the New York Times told her story to the wider world of a girl who defied the Taliban and regressive elements of her society. The Taliban had banned education for girls in the

Swat Valley in the tribal North-West Frontier Province bordering Afghanistan. “(The Taliban) tried to blow up schools, slaughtered, murdered and flogged women in the village squares. Malala challenged them. A 12-year-old took a stand and made the statement: ‘How are you going to stop me from writing and getting an education?’”

Abbas said. “Her story highlights problems in the region. She took a chance, took a bullet and took the world stage as well. She deserves (the fame) big time, she is a brilliant child.”

Abbas spent the past five months interviewing Malala’s friends, family, teachers and hardline elements around her home in Mingora in the Swat Valley, a place known as “Paradise.” Malala’s message has resonated through Pakistani society – in one village where generations of girls are raised as folk dancers, Abbas said mothers are now demanding their daughters receive an education. He also spoke with two girls shot in the same attack on Malala, who still live in the same area. “They are still living there and living in fear, constantly under threat from the Taliban.”

“I went to see what people think. People are optimistic, motivated by these brave girls who fight for educational rights. These people support girls’ education,” Abbas said.

Multi-instrumentalist Taj Mahal performs at Alix Goolden Hall on April 30.

Move with Taj Mahal

Though multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Taj Mahal’s career began more than four decades ago with American blues, he has broadened his artistic scope over the years to include music representing virtually every corner of the world.

What ties it all together is his insatiable interest in musical discovery. Over the years, his passion and curiosity have led him around the world, and the resulting global perspective is reflected in his music.

Blues Legend Taj Mahal with opening guests Shemekia Copeland is on Tuesday, April 30 at the Alix Goolden Performance Hall, 907 Pandora St. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with the show at 7:30 p.m.

“I talked to people who are still opposed (to women’s education). But I talked to kids of Taliban commanders who support the idea of women’s education. That shows big changes,” he said.

Abbas plans to travel to Birmingham, U.K., next month to interview Malala, and then back to Pakistan to finish shooting and editing his documentary, titled Malala: A Girl from Paradise. Malala, who has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, is living in Birmingham under guard, attending school and undergoing medical treatment for her injuries.

Abbas fled to Canada in 2002 after being imprisoned and tortured, he said, under the regime of Pervez Musharraf. He had worked as a journalist for major daily newspapers, and continued to do so in Canada. These days Abbas works as a stringer for BBC Urdu service and consults for papers such as the New York Post.

He self-funded his first round of filming Pakistan – “God bless a line of credit and a credit card.” This time around he is running an Indiegogo campaign to raise $20,000. He plans to debut the film in Canada this September, although it remains uncertain where. Abbas said he plans to screen it in Victoria this year.

He also said he has a “Plan B” to have the film edited and distributed in the event he is killed in Pakistan.

“No matter what happens to me, this film will come to life, it will come to the world,” Abbas said.

“God forbid if something happens to me, people will see this film.”

so far together, so it’s going well.”

His dad Greg, a former pro in the Netherlands before he moved here, can be credited for passing the passion on to Aaron and elder brother Daniel, 16 and in Grade 11 at PCS. The brothers started playing competitively within a few months of each other just over three years ago. Daniel can smash the ball as well as any 16-year-old in Victoria. Nonetheless, he’s humbly conceded the brotherly rivalry is already in Aaron’s favour.

“Aaron hits very consistently.

Even though I hit with more strength and serve harder, he has adjusted to it,” Daniel said. “Our games were pretty close until the last eight months. Now (Aaron) can beat me more often.”

It was actually Daniel, a certified coach, who helped jumpstart the Pacers tennis team this season with Grade 12 Nina Radisavljevic. “(Daniel and Nina) came to me and said, ‘Hey can we do this?’”

Stewart said.

“There hasn’t been a team here for at least 19 years, and I’ve been hesitant to create one, because it’s not a recreational league. It’s pretty tough,” Stewart added.

Pacific Christian Pacer Aaron Diemer keeps his eyes on the ball during warmup at the Lambrick Park courts on April 17.

Mateya and Nina Radisavljevic Pacers can take a crack at the Island championships.

Nina’s also played outside of school, and so has her sister Mateya, a Grade 10 student who regu-

larly partners with Aaron to form the Pacers’ mixed doubles team.

As a coach, Daniel splits his time with the team between playing on Wednesdays and instructing the 12-member team with adult coach Chris Stewart, a former golf pro with plenty of tennis experience.

“I know I don’t have as much experience as other coaches but it doesn’t affect me too much,” Daniel said.

“I know what I do know, that I have some knowledge, and a lot of what we work on is basics.”

The final week of school tennis wraps up next Wednesday (May 1), followed by the Lower Island championships May 6 to 8. sports@vicnews.com

Claremont’s German crew Pair of German speaking rowers leading Claremont to Brentwood Travis Paterson News staff

Kevin Light Photography

Vivien Leutz, an international student from Germany, looks ahead of her boat in the Senior A womens double with Sofia Donnecke, partially seen. They won the recent Maple Bay Regatta event by 17 seconds.

Vivien Leutz couldn’t imagine going a year without rowing.

It was a key factor helping the the foreign exchange student from Frankfurt, Germany, choose to Claremont secondary over other schools.

But as strong as Claremont secondary’s rowing program reputation has become, she had no idea there was a rowing academy. Or that it is led by world champion Kevin Light for a coach.

“I thought there was a small rowing team which has practice sometimes after school,” Leutz said.

She soon learned about the rowing academy and changed all of her courses to make it work. “(Students) told me Kevin was our coach, an Olympic gold medalist. I couldn’t believe it. I was very excited to meet him.”

Leutz crews a senior women’s double with locally produced Sofia Donnecke, who started rowing at Royal Oak middle school. They are two of the premier rowing athletes at the school. They’ve gone head

to head in the singles, finishing first and second at the Maple Bay regatta recently, and dominated in the double, winning it at the Shawnigan and Maple Bay regattas this season.

“We have not had many races yet,” Light said. “But they are both very competitive with each other in the single sculls and match up really well in the double (scull, two oars each) or pair (sweep, one oar each).”

Clearly Leutz is no slouch. A surprise for the Claremont academy, Leutz has competed at the German youth championships. So it goes for Donnecke, who raced to the second in the Western Canada junior women’s (under-19) trials in Burnaby on Saturday.

It’s put Donnecke on the national radar.

And now Leutz and Donnecke, both in Grade 11, are hoping to peak this season at the Canadian Rowing High School Championships held in St. Catherines in June.

“I can’t wait for St. Catherines,” Leutz said.

Leutz can sometimes be shy about her grasp of the English lan-

guage and her rowing abilities which made partnering with Donnecke all the better.

“Actually it’s no big deal because I’m (originally) from Germany and speak German, and (Leutz) can already speak English well,” Donnecke said.

“Leutz is really good at rowing. In Germany they train mostly in the singles, so she has great technique.

She tries hard and she’s a great person to train with.”

The type of attitude Leutz has brought to the academy’s daily rowing training is more like that of a university or national team athlete, Light said.

“Leutz prefers actually rowing on the water than training on the ERG (rowing machine), as is the case with most rowers,” Light said. “But her attitude and determination has allowed her to overcome some of the fears about the rowing machine she brought with her from Germany.”

This weekend (April 26 to 28) is a major event, the Brentwood Bay regatta, attended by U.S. schools. sports@vicnews.com

Saanich branches into ‘nature’ education News staff

The Swan Lake Nature sanctuary is no stranger to children ambling among the critters and greenery at home in the urban wetland.

But come September, the lake and its trails will be the daily outdoor classroom for kids three to five years old, as Saanich launches its first nature preschool program.

Last September, the Sooke School District was the first in Greater Victoria to offer nature kindergarten, which immersed kids in a forest as a key component to early learning.

Saanich is effectively

following suit with preschool-aged kids, under the concept that as a whole, the next generation of youth aren’t spending enough time outside the urban setting, and often don’t have ready access to wild spaces.

“Three- to five-yearolds will get a base of stewardship for the outdoors and become comfortable with it, and seek it out,” said Chris Filler, a recreation programmer organizing Saanich’s nature preschool. “These kids are the next generation of stewards. If they don’t know or understand the natural world, where will we be?”

Filler belonged to the advisory group that

helped launch nature K out of Sangster elementary in Colwood, and recognized the benefits in health and well-being by allowing kids to explore natural areas.

“The moment I heard about nature K, I thought ‘what do I need to do at Saanich to make this happen?’” he said.

“It’s more unstructured play time, more opportunity to connect with nature and using parkland and play spaces for education.”

The preschool program at Swan Lake will have an early learning educator and access to park naturalists, but the adults will take their cues from the kids – where they wander

CLAREMONT MUSICAL THEATRE PRESENTS

and which creatures they find will be the basis for the day’s lessons.

“They can expect to be outside for about two and a half hours each day. Rain, snow, sleet or sun, they’ll be out in it,” Filler said.

“I think the biggest challenge will be getting them back in the car. This is play-based preschool which allows them the freedom to explore. It won’t be a challenge to get them involved, motivated and jazzed up.”

Swan Lake will be providing a large space within the nature house for the preschool. Barry Janyk, executive director of Swan Lake, said this type of preschool

program is a perfect fit for the sanctuary.

“It’s great we have the facilities to provide to the Saanich rec folks.

It’s another way to serve the community,” Janyk said.

“I think the trails will be fascinating to kids and the boardwalk will be a huge hit. And kids will get to see the passage of the seasons. It starts the progression of learning about the natural world.”

Frances Krusekopf, the nature K project manager for the Sooke School District, said so far their 21 kindergarten-aged kids are thriving in the forest of Royal Roads University and at Esquimalt Lagoon.

For their age, the K

kids are showing high levels of independence and strong co-operation with each other, she said.

Registration is open

for Saanich’s nature preschool program.

This 1947 Mercury pickup is used to haul beehives and equipment by owner Allen Garr who drives it daily

Veteran Vancouver reporter, columnist, broadcaster and political commentator Allen Garr drives a 1947 Mercury pickup almost every day it doesn’t rain. It’s the only ALYN EDWARDS vehicle he owns.

CLASSIC Allen is also on the RIDES VanCity Credit Union board of directors, helping guide the country’s biggest cooperative financial institution and a social enterprise that has had significant positive impact on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.

He’s pleased his truck is green and sustainable given the original colour, that it’s been transporting material for more than 65 years and has never needed to be recycled.

This is a work truck. Allen Garr is one of Vancouver’s most active urban beekeepers. The truck transports bees, hives and honey to and from sites including the University of British Columbia Farm and Botanical Garden, VanDusen Botanical Garden, Science World and the green roof of the new Vancouver Convention Centre.

Allen got into beekeeping when a friend dropped a hive off at his Kitsilano home almost 20 years ago, saying, “Now you’re a beekeeper.”

Allen’s daily driver was a 1974 MGB sports car – hardly the kind of vehicle to haul beehives and equipment. After many years of trying to get too much into too little space, he figured a truck was in order.

A widespread internet search led him to a Burnaby car dealership showroom where a vintage green and black 1947 Mercury half-ton pickup was offered for sale. “I had no idea how unique and rare this Canadianbuilt truck was at the time,” he recalls.

He traded in the sports car he’d been driving for 17 years and drove the pickup off the lot after paying the $12,000 difference.

“I look at it as a piece of industrial art. The product of some long ago guy’s imagination of what a working piece of machinery should and could look like,”

The Canadian built 1947 Mercury M1 pickup had distinctive nameplates to distinguish it from Ford trucks which shared the same bodies and mechanical components.

he says proudly.

Ford of Canada introduced the Mercury line of trucks in 1946 as a ‘badge engineered’ Ford made up with a distinctive grille and Mercury nameplates. It was a move to double the number of dealerships in Canada so Ford Monarch dealers would sell Ford trucks and Lincoln Mercury dealers would sell Mercury trucks.

Because these desirable trucks were only sold in Canada, they are seldom seen. The last Mercury truck rolled off the Canadian assembly line on March 23, 1968.

Spring is bee season and Allen’s Mercury pickup is hard at work hauling equipment to and from the many locations where he keeps his hives.

He volunteers to look after bees at the Vancouver Convention Centre along with the botanical gardens at UBC and VanDusen. He wholesales the honey he collects from hives to the botanical gardens’ gift shops, Science World and the Convention Centre.

His honey is sold by natural

food store Choices not far from his home in one of Vancouver’s oldest neighbourhoods with a label that shouts: The bees that made this honey live and work in Kitsilano.

The bees need a lot of attention, particularly in winter when they are kept well-fed with pollen and sugar syrup, kept disease-free with medication and other care measures.

Allen looks after 20 hives.

Care for the truck is done through a number of old vehicle specialists and parts sources. “The advice I received is not to buy an old truck until I had a parts source lined up and at least one good mechanic,” he says. His experience in having the clutch replaced twice underscores this advice.

On a positive note, the Mercury truck uses parts that are interchangeable Continued on Pg. B2

<I tried numerous other remedies all my life that were not effective. Since I discovered #24 I do not have a stuffy nose and itchy eyes when pollen season comes around. I don’t have to walk around like a doped zombie anymore. Leonard Waldner, 44, Delia, AB < For 20 years my life was miserable with sneezing, watery eyes and sinus pressure year-round on most days. I was amazed. On 3rd day all allergies were gone. It was like magic. Becky Gerber, 25, Dover, OH <Golfing without allergy attacks I tried all the medications and none worked.

After taking 1 capsule in the morning I’m completely free of all symptoms. Richard Gamez, 74, San Antonio, TX <God bless you I went from doctor to doctor for years with allergy sinus problems. The medications made me still sicker. After starting Bell Allergy Relief one capsule at night I felt like born again the next morning. Therese Noto, 58, New York, NY.

Kidney Function

increased from 46% to 63% after drinking #76 Bell Kidney Cleanse & Function Tea for 3 months. Sayed Shah, 70, Richmond, BC < As a diabetic my kidney function was decreasing by 40% and I was warned I was heading for dialysis. After 2 months my new test came back with a 76% kidney function increase. Thank you for a product that actually works. Hyacinth Twin, 73, Miami, FL < For the last 4 years my doctor told me that my kidneys did not function properly. After using the Bell Kidney Tea for 9 weeks my GFR Filtration Rate went from 29 to 43. I couldn’t be more delighted. I intend to drink the tea until I reach my goal of a GFR of 60. This product really works.

Aaron H. Goldman, 86, Bronx, NY < The Mount Sinai School of Medicine Newsletter May 2010 states that normal kidney function cannot be restored with medicine. The main goal of treatment is to slow the progression of the disease by eating more fresh fruit and vegetables. This is the advice 40 million Americans with #76 NPN License abnormal kidney function get (in Canada about 4 million could benefit greatly from this kidney tea). < The president of Bell Lifestyle is using the tea himself with a kidney function increase from 45% to 61% in 2 months and guarantees that the tea works or he refunds your money.

The new connected Volkswagen METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM

Two iconic products will be forming an alliance later this year – the iPhone from Apple and the Beetle from Volkswagen.

As a result, the smartphone will interface with the Beetle and Beetle Cabriolet’s vehicle functions via a specially developed app (‘Volkswagen Car Net The Beetle’) and a docking station.

This makes the Beetle the first model in the Volkswagen Group in which the iPhone will become an integrated component.

There are two routes to acquiring the interface: first as an optional feature, and second as a standard feature on the new iBeetle and iBeetle Cabriolet.

The German carmaker will be launching these special models on the market in parallel with the iPhone 5

integration at the beginning of 2014.

Located centrally on the dashboard of the Beetle is the newly designed docking station (cradle), in which the iPhone is integrated by simply snapping it in – similar to a mobile navigation system.

Once in, essentially, all iPhone functions can be used in the Beetle; the iPhone can be used to navigate, telephone via a hands-free unit, listen to music from the media library via the audio system’s amplifier and loudspeakers, and much more.

When the app is launched, it can either connect the iPhone to the Beetle docked or undocked.

As soon as the iPhone connects to the Beetle’s data network via the app and the docking station (docked), a menu with the following functions is available: “Spotify”, “Expert”, “Trainer”, “Reader”, “Postcard”, “Photo”, “Post” and “Milestones”.

The Forte Koup joins the sedan and five-door in the 2014 Kia Forte lineup.

Kia has unveiled the third and final member of the completely redesigned Forte lineup – the all-new 2014 Forte Koup.

iBeetle

Apple and Volkswagen have teamed up to produce the iBeetle that goes on sale early in 2014.

Volkswagen conceived the iBeetle for the debut of iPhone 5 integration and, available as a coupe and cabriolet, it is one of the first cars in the world to have a genuine integrative interface for the iPhone that was co-ordinated with Apple.

The colours and equipment features of the iBeetle are stylistically linked to the Cupertino-based US company, bringing the icons of its smartphones into harmony with what is certainly one of the world’s most iconic automotive designs.

Kia Motors unveils 2014 Forte Koup

Following the launch of the Forte sedan and Forte 5-door, the all-new twodoor Forte Koup SX boasts Europeaninspired design and performance to match with a 1.6-litre gasoline directinjected (GDI) turbocharged fourcylinder engine putting out 201 hp and 195 lb/ft of torque. As equipped, the SX is the most powerful Forte Koup ever.

Sales are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2013, and pricing

will be announced closer to the Koup’s launch.

The Forte Koup is offered in two trim levels, EX and SX, with two engine and transmission choices.

The EX comes equipped with a 2.0-litre GDI four-cylinder engine, and the SX comes standard with the 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder.

The Forte Koup EX comes standard with a 2.0-litre GDI powerplant

producing 173 hp at 6,500 rpm and 154 lb/ft of torque at 4,700 rpm.

To help further improve performance, the Forte Koup features a sport-tuned suspension with a McPherson strut setup in front and a torsion beam rear design. The Koup rides on standard 205/45R-17 tires while 225/40R-18 tires are included with the SX trim, further enhancing the sporty driving experience.
