Tough budget choices on horizon for council City councillor reminds residents that recommendations in consultant’s report are not cast in stone Daniel Palmer News staff

City of Victoria councillors face tough cost-cutting decisions when they reconvene this fall, now that a long-awaited consultant’s report on city operations is in their hands.

Last week, the city revealed a jobs shakeup intended to streamline communication between departments and bring similar positions under one roof.

The changes are in response to an organizational review and

and implementing a service delivery analy“tourism tax” to help sis done by Maximus pay for city gardens Canada. The June 19 and hanging baskets; report stated that Victhe report fails to elabtoria provides relatively orate on how to implegood value for money ment such a levy on compared to Nanaimo, visitors.

Lisa Helps tions serve as a starting point for discussion cut service costs by reducing or eliminating heritage and said council will “put a values grants, forcing homeowners to filter on the report” to decide at maintain their own boulevards upcoming meetings what works

best for Victoria.

“It was well worth waiting for,” said Helps, who is spearheading efforts to create an operating budget that caps property tax increases to 3.25 per cent annually through 2015.

“It’s certainly my hope to finish (the budgeting) process this fall.

We need to provide certainty as soon as we can and with as much clarity as we can.”

The issue most likely to draw public ire this fall is the fate of Crystal Pool, a 42-year-old facility in need of a major retrofit. The

consultant’s report states the rec centre costs Victoria $1.2 million and is used regularly by only 4,750 people each year.

“The city needs to consider if it can afford to continue providing such an expensive service used by less than five per cent of the population,” the report reads.

Helps said staff are already well under way developing a public engagement process for Crystal Pool.

Mysterious crow deaths perplex experts A strange paralysis could be affecting crows closer to home

A

mysterious paralysis has been killing crows and ravens in northern B.C. Some Islanders are concerned the unusual deaths could be happening much closer to home.

“I have noticed several dead crows on the sidewalk over the past few days,” said Oak Bay resident Bill Smith in a letter to the News, noting that some crows were seen struggling to walk. “I decided to Google ‘dead crows’ and was quite surprised by what I found … Let’s hope this is not the start of a serious problem.”

Danielle Pope Scientists at the Reporting University of B.C. and residents have murmured concerns that the northern birds could be showing indications of West Nile Virus, especially as the corvids are most susceptible and often act as an early warning system. However, B.C. has not had any reports of West Nile in humans since 2010, and the province does regular testing of the mosquitoes in different regions of B.C. Oak Bay manager of parks Chris HydeLay said the district has had no official reports of dead crows this year. However, birds are typically disposed of and are

not sent for testing.

Leona Green, who runs the Hillspring Wildlife Rehabilitation facility in Dawson Creek and received calls about the unusual dying corvids, says she has had dozens of reports of the paralyzed or dead birds since the end of May. While, at first, she had been instructing people to safely dispose of the birds, the increased calls in the past two weeks surprised her.

On July 30, with upwards of 25 birds brought to her, she sent six specimens to be autopsied by the provincal Animal Health Lab – protocol when non-typical deaths occur in species. Results are expected within two weeks.

“I’ve never seen anything like this. The birds are alert, their Don Denton/News staff wings move, but their legs are Two crows rest on a rock near Oak Bay Marina. A paralyzed from their spine. We are mysterious paralysis killing corvids (ravens and really scratching our heads over crows) in northern B.C. has some concerned this,” Green said. “As I am not about West Nile Virus closer to home. really a scientist, I can’t confirm public report any number of species what it might be, just that I’ve sent the dead within close proximity to each other samples off.

While Starzomski Oregon, Idaho and California. said he, too, has seen dead crows in the “It is extremely unlikely that the area this year, there are many reasons for birds in the Peace River area have West death, which could include young-bird Nile Virus,” said provincial vet Helen mortality rates, species-specific diseases Schwantje. Although corvid deaths are or even poisons in the region. not unusual, Schwantje suggests the

“It is extremely important to report birds, especially in cases where we see unusual death, and it’s in everyone’s best interest to make sure these numbers are tracked,” he said. “Mosquitoes transfer diseases from disease-bearing animals, so they become the conduits, so to speak.”

Dr. Richard Stanwick, Chief Medical Health Officer for Vancouver Island Health Authority, said while it’s extremely unlikely that West Nile has entered B.C. or the Island, that doesn’t mean people should let their guards down.

“We have to consider how our climate is changing, and that means the mosquitoes are seeing a longer breeding season and have more opportunity to progress through the cycles,” said Stanwick. “We have been very fortunate to live in a zone that is considered relatively safe but, with many diseases, it’s really just a matter of time.”

At least 13 identified species of mosquitoes inhabit the Island and Stanwick said that, while birds like crows are most susceptible in their interactions, simple precautions are still important for humans, especially when around waterbased and forested areas: precautions like using a repellent, staying in at dawn and dusk or keeping covered.

“The thing about West Nile is that it is a very interesting virus, and we can’t say how it will react in everyone,” said Stanwick. “Certainly, it can cause very serious conditions, and people here do travel a lot, so it is something they need to be aware of. However, there is a much greater chance they could contract it somewhere else.” news@mondaymag.com

VIHA sticks with status quo to fill president/CEO role Brendan Carr brings a wealth of experience to the top job Don Descoteau News staff

The Vancouver Island Health Authority has chosen one of its own as its new president and CEO, after conducting an extensive international search.

Dr. Brendan Carr, placed in the job on an interim basis in May fol-

lowing the retirement of Howard Waldner, had been hired by VIHA in 2012 as executive vice-president and chief medical officer.

“We were looking for a strong leader and we’ve got a strong leader. He’s actually proven that in his year with us,” said VIHA board chair Don Hubbard.

A contracted headhunting firm undertook a worldwide search for candidates which yielded a number of qualified candidates, Hubbard said.

While the board wound up sticking with the man already in the job, Hubbard insisted Carr

was not brought in last year as the heir apparent. “We didn’t even know that Howard Waldner was going to announce his retirement at that time.

The fact Carr was already with VIHA illustrates how well the organization has done hiring for top positions, Hubbard said.

The search process came in under the budgeted $140,000, he added. While exact terms of Carr’s contract were not revealed, Hubbard said total compensation for the job works out to about $400,000 per year.

Carr comes with a range of cre-

dentials. Not only is he a medical doctor and an experienced emergency room physician, he holds a masters in business administration and holds certifications as a physician executive and healthcare executive.

Hubbard said the board is “thrilled” to have Carr at the helm for VIHA now and in the future.

“We’re just in the middle of strategic planning for the next five years, and fortunately, he’s been involved in that.”

With the Royal Jubilee Hospital’s Patient Care Centre completed, Carr will oversee the

ongoing implementation of VIHA’s new electronic health recording program. The system – already rolled out at Victoria General and the Jubilee – aims to ensure that emergency rooms have access to a patient’s full medical records and can provide appropriate care quickly.

Carr was returning from the Maritimes at the News’ deadline.

In a statement, he said, “Improving the quality of care and examining how we can better integrate care across the health system is a top priority as we move forward.” editor@vicnews.com

City to discuss cost-cutting options Continued from Page A1 A final report is expected to come before council next June, when councillors will decide its fate. She stressed council has not made up its mind on the matter.

Coun. Chris Coleman said the report shows Victoria has already done a good job of going after “low-hanging fruit” to cut costs, such as by redesigning its

garbage collection processes.

He was optimistic council will be able to tackle the city’s budgetary constraints, but said municipalities across Canada are suffering from a similar plight that stems from an antiquated tax structure.

“For every tax dollar you pay, 51 cents goes to the federal government, 41 cents to provincial coffers and eight cents to the municipalities,” Coleman said.

“That system was set up 146 years ago. Now, 91 per cent of people live in urban or suburban contexts.”

Coleman said the downloading of service costs from upper levels of government will be addressed again at the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference in September. Councillors convene Aug. 22 for a governance and priorities committee meeting. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Software breach at city hall slow to be reported: Fortin Users asked to change password for pre-authorized system Daniel Palmer News staff

Mayor Dean Fortin is promising to find out why senior staff weren’t told about a digital security breach at City Hall until four days after it was discovered.

City officials were notified of the July 22 breach of its preauthorized payment program on Friday (Aug. 2), a result of a vulnerability in the manufacturer’s software and not due to a weakness in the city’s security, Fortin said.

“This came to senior staff and council’s attention on Tuesday and that’s when we started the whole process of notifying people,” he said. “We haven’t found any evidence that (unauthorized

users) actually got information, but we wanted to make sure people knew as quickly as possible.”

Fortin said he’ll be investigating why senior staff weren’t informed of the software vulnerability immediately.

The city followed up with local banks and credit unions to ensure they’re aware of the security compromise.

“We’re doing what we can to notify people of a potential breach and asking them to monitor their accounts,” Fortin said.

Victoria’s MyCity Online system holds the names, addresses and bank account numbers of about 5,800 users.

The city’s information technology department has since dis-

abled the compromised server that holds pre-authorized payment information and will conduct an internal investigation.

Residents using the system should log in to their MyCity Online accounts to change their password.

Victoria’s breach is the latest in a string of compromised municipal systems.

In the past week, Oak Bay, West Vancouver, Abbotsford and Maple Ridge have all reported the same vulnerability in their Adobe Cold Fusion software program, which has since been patched.

Users looking for further clarification should email the city at inquiry@victoria.ca. dpalmer@vicnews.com

‘Fortress’ in Saanich celebrates a century

A farm, mental hospital, jail and historic site, the castle on Wilkinson Road endures as a Victoria icon Kyle Wells News staff

The storied history of the Wilkinson Road jail now extends back 100 years, and encompasses all the crimes, escapes, changes and rehabilitations that go with it.

Phil Williams worked from 1994 to 2003 as a guard at the jail, now called the Vancouver Island Regional Correctional Centre.

During that time he was a member of the prison history committee and is now helping with the centennial celebration.

He is also working on a book on the history of the jail.

“The site is steeped in history,” Williams said. “I’ve always been of the mind, how can you know where you’re going if you don’t know where you’ve been?”

Constructed in 1913, the jail was built as a replacement for the Victoria jail on Topaz Avenue, which had a main wing burn down in 1912.

Architect Col. William Ridgway Wilson, the man behind the Bay Street Armoury, designed the unique fortress look of the building, with crenelated parapets and towers, brickwork and arched windows. The building was recognized as a Canadian historic site in 1981.

Though construction finished in 1913, the year displayed on the headstone above the main entrance, the first prisoners arrived at the prison on Sept.

12, 1914.

At its start, the jail housed civilian prisoners, along with military prisoners and some prisoners of war, namely Canadian domestic dissidents and spying suspects related to the

First World War. The first and only execution to take place at the prison happened in 1915, when Robert Suttie was hanged for shooting his foreman at a mine in Oyster River.

In 1917 the jail was closed as a cost-saving measure to help fund the war effort. It became a pheasant farm before reopening in 1919 as the Colquitz Provincial Mental Hospital for the criminally insane. By 1951, it held about 280 inmates, who operated a farm on the land.

Tragedy came in 1960 when a prisoner escaped and stole a number of guns from a nearby farm.

The police located the man and a shootout ensued, resulting in the death of Const. Robert Kirby, the only Saanich police officer in history to be killed in the line of duty.

“As you can well imagine, the press had a field day,” Williams

said. “I think that was probably the beginning of the end for (Wilkinson) as a mental institution.”

Another reason was its location. When first built, the jail was out of town, away from the general population, but as the city grew, housing surrounded the 10-hectare property.

“It was sort of out in the sticks, and then of course the residential neighbourhoods grew up around it,” Williams said. “Then … it made the residents nervous and they (didn’t) want it there.”

After 45 years as a mental hospital, the provincial correctional service took over the property and reopened it as a working prison farm in 1971, an expansion of the long history of farming at the facility.

By 1973 the farm had seven bulls, 168 cows, 125 calves, three boars, six young sows, 24 sows and 1,650 laying hens.

left in its original form.

“I wouldn’t really call it an old building, it just looks like an old building,” Williams said.

He has fond memories of working at the facility and even of interacting with the prisoners.

“I could make a difference in the day to day experience of those prisoners,” he said. “I don’t know if I miss the job so much, but I certainly miss the people I worked with.”

The jail currently houses prisoners serving sentences under two years and those awaiting trial. It is a maximum security jail, because those waiting for trial can be accused of any sort of violent crime. editor@vicnews.com

Livestock was eaten at the prison, making it somewhat selfsustaining, while some animals were sold to generate income.

“In that time you were able to put the prisoners to work, doing something positive where they learned a skill, felt good about what they were doing,” Williams said. “By the time they got back to the cell block they’d be too exhausted to get into trouble.”

During efforts to modernize the jail, the farm operation was cleared away in 1985. The building itself had many additions during its time as a mental hospital. In 1985 the building was modernized, with a complete renovation of the jail’s interior, with only the medieval facade

VICTORIA HOSPITALITY AWARD WINNER June 2013

June’s winner is Leah Kuzmuk from Prince of Whales.

This story came to us from Fiona Mathieson, Prince of Whales Office Supervisor.

Recently, our Ocean Magic Cruiser that departs from Vancouver broke down and all of our guests on board were therefore not able to complete the usual tour itinerary and we had to find other arrangements for each of these guests. Two guests in particular were quite inconvenienced; they were here visiting from the UK with the hopes of seeing the Butchart Gardens and whales - both of which we suddenly told them was no longer an option. They were leaving the following day to go up island, so this day was the only day they could go. Leah Kuzmuk was the reservationist that was speaking with them and they expressed the need for a rental car. Even though they did not specifically ask Leah to help with that process, she went above and beyond her regular job description and spent the better part of an hour calling numerous car rental companies to find the best deal for this group. In the end, Leah booked them a rental car and re-booked them on one of our other tours that was departing later that afternoon. She managed to do this all despite the mayhem in the office due to the cancelled trips and all the while remaining calm and with a smile on her face. The following day these guests came out of their way into our office to drop off a thank-you note for Leah.

This “above and beyond” behaviour is not uncharacteristic of Leah, she constantly stands out to me as an employee who is not only willing to go the extra mile, but is happy to do so. Her initiative, ambition and enthusiasm show me that she is a perfect candidate for a Victoria Hospitality Award.

It seems classical music really does have a calming effect on listeners.

The Victoria Police Department went without a single call for service related to the Victoria Symphony Splash on Sunday, a phenomenon not seen with other downtown events, said VicPD spokesperson, Const.

Mike Russell.

“It’s probably the most people that we have downtown with the least amount of problems,” he said of the 40,000-person gathering. “The crowd is definitely there to hear the music and enjoy themselves, but not much else.”

While VicPD doesn’t release exact deployment numbers, Russell said events such as Canada Day require far more officers downtown to deal with issues like public drunkenness and liquor pour-outs.

The most serious police response of the night occurred when a transformer blew around 9:45 p.m., shutting down traffic lights in pockets of the downtown core.

“There was a collision between two motorcycles at Douglas and Chatham because of the power outage (around 10:30 p.m.) and the passenger of one motorcycle was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries,” Russell said. dpalmer@vicnews.com

English Inn proposal inching ahead Esquimalt council to consider recommendation in coming weeks Don Descoteau News staff

The English Inn property off Lampson Street in Esquimalt appears headed toward change.

According to Bill Brown, the Township’s director of development services, a staff report to come before council later this month or in September will recommend approval of a requested rezoning and subdivision of the 4.5-acre property.

The proposal would protect the existing manor house and significant landscaping on one lot under a heritage revitalization agreement, and allow residential development – including institutional care or assisted living for

Don Descoteau/News staff

The neglected Anne Hathaway’s Cottage on the property of the English Inn on Lampson Street, and the nearby gardens are on a three-acre parcel the owners hope to be able to subdivide and make more attractive for a future developer. seniors – of up to six storeys on the remaining land.

The rezoning requires a change to ESquimalt’s official community

plan, plus a public hearing.

From the 1950s through the ’70s, the property was the site of a Tudor-style tourist attraction and

Esquimalt staff have circulated notices to neighbours, the Capital Regional District, Department of National Defence and Esquimalt Residents Association about the proposed change to the OCP to allow for responses.

Nick Kovacs, chair of the residents association, said resident feedback has been mainly positive so far.

People’s main concerns, he said, are with the possibility a sixstorey building could be built on the site, and the potential lack of parking during events at the hotel – the zoning change would require only 14 spots.

Kovacs said, however, the owners have indicated the siting of buildings is flexible on the large lot, one side of which backs onto DND property.

“I think that’s where the public hearing will come in, the owners can present their plan and answer questions,” he said. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

hotel, but the business fell on hard times in recent decades.

Rezoning applicant LFC Lampson Holdings Inc. does not have a sale pending on the property, confirmed Brian Chelin, principal of Lanyard Group of Companies, part of the ownership group.

The group’s vision is to gain heritage designation for the manor house property to allow for something like a 14-room boutique hotel that could cater to the wedding business. “(The goal for) the rest of the property, the 3.3 acres, is to create a zone for multi-family development that compliments the architectural features of the manor house,” Chelin said.

“We’re looking to sell both parcels separately and put both on a platform where they’re viable not only to the ownership, but also to the community.”

All buildings other than the manor house would likely be demolished by a new owner.

More than 2,500 dragon boaters will descend upon Victoria’s Inner Harbour next weekend, but organizers still need 100 volunteers to make the event a success.

The 2013 Canada Dry Victoria Dragon Boat Festival, now in its 19th year, hosts 90 teams from across North America and requires the efforts of nearly 500 volunteers, said festival co-ordinator Sarah Smith.

“Like most Victoria events, we operate with a very small staff, so

our volunteer team is critical to the success of the festival,” she said.

OUR VIEW

Health authority made right choice Brendan Carr can now take the “interim” word out of his title as president and CEO of the Vancouver Island Health Authority.

Now in his third month in the job as head of one of the Capital Region’s largest and most important Dr. Brendan Carr employers, the doctor becomes even more appears to be accountable for well-suited for job VIHA’s public and professional persona.

As such, he and the organization will be subject to criticisms from those who question things like his salary and the amount VIHA paid to secure his services.

As far as Carr’s annual compensation of $400,000 goes, it’s a realistic number in today’s marketplace. The public needs to accept that’s what it takes to recruit a top-notch candidate to this expensive part of the world. It’s a cost of doing business.

Likewise, paying a professional search firm upwards of $140,000 to assemble a qualified collection of individuals out of a global applicant field is not out of the ordinary. In an organization the size of the health authority, one relatively minor decision by Carr could recoup the headhunter’s fee.

Whether they are public or private, large organizations need to find leaders who bring considerable skills to the table, can hit the ground running and carry them into the future.

With years of experience as a medical doctor, and administrative background with VIHA and the regional health authority in Halifax, Carr no doubt feels comfortable in conversations ranging from patient care strategies to the financial pressures of running a collection of hospitals and care facilities on the Island.

He takes over an organization that has won awards for paying attention to diversity and provides an exceptional workplace for its employees, but is also tackling service efficiency problems in smaller communities on the Island.

The hope is that Carr will be a good advocate for the health system from a care standpoint, while also being mindful of the efficient use of tax dollars.

Not long ago, dining out, going With increasing regulation, high for a drink, working in an office, cigarette prices driven by “sin riding an airplane or intercity bus taxes” and the current and going to a movie stigma attached to meant being subjected smoking, it’s bewildering to second-hand smoke. that people take up the Cigarette smoking was a pointless habit in the first fact of life, and smokers place. were everywhere – Smoking prevalence indoors and out. is still highest among In many countries, young adults, especially including Canada, that’s those aged 25 to 34, changed. But it wasn’t although smoking rates without a fight.

The U.S. spends about $11 billion a year people, with only about 13.8 per on litter clean-up and 32 per cent of cent daily smokers. that is butts.

Obviously, the best way to reduce cigarette butt pollution is to step up efforts to prevent people from starting smoking and help those who have to quit. But we aren’t going to stop everyone from smoking overnight, so we have to find ways to address the litter problem. Again, a combination of public education and regulation will go a long way.

In San Diego, Surfrider installed outdoor ashcans and gave smokers pocket ashtrays. Many places, including Vancouver, have banned smoking on beaches and in parks (the Capital Regional District defeated a motion to do so, citing difficulties with enforcement).

In Vancouver and other cities, some people have been pushing for a deposit-and-return system similar to those for bottles and cans.

Besides reducing litter and environmental damage, methods that also increase the price of cigarettes have proven to be effective in reducing smoking rates.

Some consider tobacco a sacred herb. It’s used by many indigenous peoples for ceremonial purposes.

With widespread use spurred by marketing, it became a costly and unhealthy addiction and a toxic blight on the environment.

Smoking trends in countries like Canada show that societal change is possible and – with education and regulation – people will do what’s best for themselves and for the world around them. editor@vicnews.com

VICTORIA NEWS - Friday, August 9, 2013

LETTERS Reflections of Japan, 68 years after surrender In the summer of 1945, the U.S. military took strong action to stop the Imperial Shinto in Japan, which had been ravaging much of east Asia for years.

While the emperor and military were preparing people to fight to the death of every man, woman and child in Japan in an expected land invasion, the U.S. developed the ability to fly over Japan.

Unfortunately, the Imperial Shinto regime did not heed the lessons of conventional bombing of Tokyo, then did

not heed the lesson of the first atomic bomb.

John David Lewis describes the nature of that regime in his book Nothing Less than Victory: Decisive Wars and the Lessons of History. Lewis goes on to explain how a wise U.S. occupying force fostered freedom by ghost-writing a constitution that included strict separation of religion and state, and by pointing Japanese residents toward individual freedom.

For example, the occupation administration

directed Tokyo police to hire female officers. Honest Japanese citizens embraced the positive way and changed their society.

People should remember how malevolent the Imperial Shinto regime was and how steeped in its destructive ideology was much of the Japanese population (who were making the weapons, uniforms and other supplies for the military).

They should note the ultimate result of total surrender and American direction to a proper way of

life is 68 years of peace and relative prosperity in the country.

In contrast, six decades after the 1950s stalemate in Korea, the Marxist regime in North Korea is still aggressive – while people there starve, forbidden to accept food from relatives in China.

It’s proof that ideas matter and the defence of individuals against such forces as Imperial Shinto is moral.

Keith Sketchley Saanich

Readers respond: Food sourcing, flags, socialism Concern about food prompts more research Re: Buying food from China not the healthiest idea (Letters, Aug. 2) I love food and I cook all the time. I am conscious of what I buy and read the label closely for every item I buy.

When I look at other people shopping in the grocery store, and their carts are full of complete junk, like Wagon Wheels or pure white bread and a bottle of Coke, I ask myself, why are they feeding themselves or their families this stuff? Don’t they look at the labels closely like I do and don’t these artificial colours or preservatives mean anything to them?

“Product of China” is a very common label on some grocery items. Just the other day, I went to pick up a box of peach fruit cups and on the side of the box it said, “Product of China.” When I read this, I placed it back on the shelf and did not buy it.

I hope more people read labels, so we don’t feed our children just anything. Ms. Nattrass’ article inspired me to go ahead and do more research, such as this article, at bit.ly/1etv2Vx. Kathy Kegalj Langford

Greenery takes precedent over flag in Saanich Re: Quality difference in flags perplexing (Letters, July 31) This reminds me of the Cedar Hill

Rec. Centre a few short years ago when I had to remind the District of Saanich to take responsibility for the state of the Canadian flag flying from the centre’s flagpole.

There is an ongoing waste of money on botany (especially on the parking lot traffic islands) when the centre is surrounded by greenery, yet there occasionally has to be a reminder about the flag.

Victor G. Hughes Saanich

Socialism isn’t just a word, it’s a philosophy Re: NDP soul search going nowhere (B.C. Views, Aug. 1) A significant aspect of NDP postelection soul searching, following its catastrophic defeat by the forces of free enterprise, will no doubt have to be coming to terms with the need to move the party further to the centre, away from its far left-wing base.

The federal NDP appears to have decided to delete references to “socialism” from its guiding party preamble to make it more palatable politically and competitive electorally.

But merely removing socialism as a founding principle, without jettisoning its politically outdated doctrine, will not convince Canadians that the NDP is anything but a socialist party.

Politically, the concept of socialism has proven itself to be an abysmal failure throughout the

world, being replaced by more free enterprise, less government and less social engineering.

Confronted with that reality, the question naturally arises as to whether the B.C. NDP will be able to “jump over its own ideological shadow” and abandon its traditional stand on the principles of democratic socialism, as defined in in its constitutional preamble: “The New Democratic Party believes that social, economic and political progress in Canada can only be assured by the application of democratic socialist principles to government and the administration of public affairs ... including, where necessary, the extension of the principle of social ownership.”

Stripped of its defining political raison d’être, however, NDP soul-searching as a way of remaining a legitimate electoral contender is like taking a journey into the future without a road map and without a clear sense of its destination – always carrying the baggage of its political past.

Personal reasons to ride Family members battling cancer motivate Saanich police Tour riders Kyle Slavin News staff

E

veryone has their own personal reasons for riding in the Tour de Rock.

All three of the Saanich Police Department’s members have witnessed loved ones fight cancer, and all three have felt the pain of losing loved ones to the disease.

For Const. Doug Franklin, he lost a grandfather, two aunts and an uncle on his mother’s side.

For Const. Lisa Bruschetta, she lost a grandmother to complications from throat cancer. Her mother was also twice diagnosed with cancer – and beat it both times, and her close friend just recently completed treatment and is now in remission.

And for civilian employee Kevin Nunn, a British expat, he lost his father to lung and liver cancer hours before he was to get on a flight back to England to be with his dad.

“It’s affected everyone, directly or indirectly. Given the opportunity to make a difference monetarily or emotionally or physically, I had to jump at the chance,” Franklin said, explaining his motivation to ride.

The Saanich bicycle patrol cop has three kids, and says meeting families going through the emotions that come with having a child with cancer has put his life into perspective.

“I thank my lucky stars because

Arnold Lim/News staff

Saanich police officers Const. Doug Franklin, left, and Const. Lisa Bruschetta, joined by Saanich police quartermaster Kevin Nunn, are part of this year’s Tour de Rock squad.

I’m not burdened by the demands of having to care for one of my kids – who are all thankfully healthy. This is my way to give back,” he said.

Bruschetta, a mother of two, isn’t as lucky when it comes to the health of her children. Her eight-year-old son Dominic has neurofibromatosis, a disease that makes him susceptible to growing cancerous tumours under his skin or on his brain.

She’s riding this year to give support to families and health care officials who have given her and her family the love and support they’ve needed.

NEW 2 LEVEL

“I want to give families the same level of support I’ve received. Being in hospitals, being in cancer clinics and seeing how well they’ve taken care of my loved ones, I believe it’s a mirror image of what the Canadian Cancer Society is doing for the children and families who benefit from Tour de Rock,” she said.

Nunn, the equipment manager for Saanich police, holds a special place in his heart for Tour. For the past two years he’s held physically gruelling and financially successful fundraisers to benefit Tour de Rock.

Being named to this year’s team

as a special guest rider has been lifechanging. Visiting Camp Goodtimes in July, the camp for kids who’ve been diagnosed with cancer, reaffirmed to him just how good a cause he’s fighting for.

“Going to Camp Goodtimes and seeing children who are going through cancer who actually don’t realize it; they’ve forgotten that they are (going through cancer) because they’re having so much fun being a child,” he said.

This year’s Tour de Rock team is made up of 22 police officers, media riders and special guests.

The team will cycle nearly 1,100 kilometres from Port Alice to Victoria Sept. 21 to Oct. 4 raising money for pediatric cancer research and support programs like Camp Goodtimes.

All three Saanich riders say their experiences up to this point in their lives – as parents, as police officers, as former military men (both Franklin and Nunn) – haven’t prepared them for the emotions they’ll feel on Tour.

“I think that the riding is honestly going to be our easy part. I think meeting these children and families – their stories, that’s where we’re going to need to prepare ourselves,” Bruschetta said. “I’m a very emotional person, so that’s going to involve keeping my focus positive and giving out as many hugs as I can.”

“I’m a strong person,” Nunn added.

“I did 22 years of the British Forces, so I’ve seen a lot of trauma, a lot of pain throughout the world. But this is something different. This is about children. This is something special.” kslavin@saanichnews.com

monday’s weekend victoria’s ultimate get out guide

Magic in the making

BY TrAVIS PATErSON sports@vicnews.com

T

here’s something magic about Jason Verners.

The energetic 14-year-old has yet to hit high school – his family’s Langford house backs onto the greenbelt behind Belmont secondary – which will force him to break from his Simple Arts and Love summer tour.

But it can’t pry him away from being a full-time magician.

“When I booked 22 shows for my tour this summer I didn’t think it was that much but I’m learning 22 is a lot,” Verners said.

On Saturday (Aug. 10) Verners will perform at Rock’n the Bike Fest, the second annual festival and show and shine run

by Angels Choppers Bicycle Club at 950 Kings St. from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. He’s among a big list of performers with Wil, Steph MacPherson, Karen Fowlie, Jason Lowe, Neil Trett and Al Harlow of Prism, with dancing by the AC/BC dance crew.

Verner’s stage time is 1:50 p.m.

AC/BC is built on the positive mission out of restoring and upgrading bikes by inviting youth to put their creative energy into the bikes, while using music and dance as well.

“I’ve done lots of festivals but this one is a little bit different.

You can see these kids learning all these skills building bikes which is interesting and moving that they can use those skills for the rest of their lives. All the people from AC/BC have been grateful and generous to me and are big supporters.”

The past eight months have been a massive learning curve Verners said, and AC/BC was part of it.

Verners had picked up some awards in 2012 – third place at the International Magic Experience Youth Magic Championships in Las Vegas, and the Lon Dingwell Young

SOLID HANDSCRAPED MAPLE $4.99/SF

Magician of the Year in Victoria – and was ready to move on from small-time performer to selling out a ticketed event.

“Some friends and I created a show called The Magic Music and Make Memories Show and we wanted somewhere to do it.”

Verners attended a music show at Fernwood’s Victoria House Concert B, a glorified Victorian parlour lined with lawn chairs and bar stools for seating.

“It’s a long bus ride from (the West Shore). We’re just kids. We don’t have driving licenses. But I was so eager, we organized everything. I kind of forgot to tell my mom, so by the time I did I said, ‘Mom, we’re doing a show at a house in Fernwood.’ It was already set up so she couldn’t say no. It was brilliant.”

This is after Verners and friends made a frenzied 18-hour reconnaissance mission to Fernwood, including a two-hour walk from the Bay Centre to Vic High, their landmark for finding House Concert B. “Looking back it was kind of terrifying. It was dark and cold, it was November, kind of brutal. We’re just kids, we kept making wrong turns. I left at 8 a.m. and got home at 2 a.m. We wanted to get there early and see how they set up the show but we barely made it in time for the opening act.”

It created a whole new level of trust with parents Candace and Jim, though it’s mutually agreed that unescorted 2 a.m. nights are not ideal.

“We sold our show out in two weeks at $15 a ticket, I don’t even know how we did it,” Verners said.

Following Rock’n the Bike Fest, Verners is headed to Vegas for a four-day stint of shows. He’ll wrap up the summer tour in Honeymoon Bay on Aug. 24.

Then he’ll get ready for high school.

Tickets for Rock’n the Bike Fest are $10. Children are free with an adult through acbcbikes.com.

Guns is a blast

weekend

T

he revved-up actioner 2 Guns has been getting decidedly mixed reviews, with many of the naysayers in a grump because

By ROBERT MOyES this 44-caliber opus lacks thematic focus. Or something. For arts@mondaymag.com my money, this is an entertaining and stylishly directed slice of GAC – Guy Action Cinema – that is further elevated thanks to yet another great performance by Denzel Washington.

In this outing, sporting a soul patch, a slick line of patter and that irresistible grin, Washington plays Bobby Trench, an undercover DEA agent who has teamed up with a bank-robbing lowlife named Stig (Mark Wahlberg). Bobby’s ultimate goal is to bring down a Mexican drug kingpin (Edward James Olmos), but things start to get twisted when it turns out that Stig is secretly working for naval military intelligence, and that neither agent knows about the other’s real identity.

The plot really takes off when both men discover that corrupt bosses in their respective organizations are manipulating them. Unfortunately, by this time they have been framed for murder and various other crimes after hijacking $42 million in illegal drug money from a small-town bank. And so, on the run and still uncertain about trusting each other, Bobby and Stig have a lot of bad guys to gun down – and a damsel in distress to try to rescue – before the end credits roll.

Guns is a slick, fast-paced shoot-em-up that balances manly mayhem with macho banter. This is competent and clever genre moviemaking, with a complicated but comprehensible plot, a wide assortment of sneering villains, witty dialogue lobbed back and forth between the two heroes, and an innovative torture scene that starts with a baseball bat and ends with a big black bull sporting a bad attitude.

In terms of acting, this is totally Washington’s movie, although the likable Wahlberg does a decent, workmanlike job. Plus a lot of character actors shine in minor roles, including Olmos, Bill Paxton as a sadistic CIA bullyboy and Fred Ward as an admiral with a deficient sense of honour.

A lot of the credit should go to maverick Icelandic director Baltasar Kormakur, who resembles Robert Rodriguez in his clever, shoot-from-the-hip style and ability to work with a smaller budget and get every dollar up on the screen. Fast, funny and painlessly violent, Guns is a blast.

Durif) named in mocking honour of the 19 different offenses that, long ago, could get an Englishman (or even boy) transported to the penal colony known as Australia. Big and bold on the palate, this is an arresting (sorry, couldn’t resist) wine with cascading notes of black fruits, dark chocolate and a lick of citrus. Flamboyant and lush, this stands out from the crowd of generic Aussie Shirazes and is worth the splurge at $19.

Friday, August 9, 2013 - VICTORIA

CONTINUING

★★★ THE CONJURING -(Empire 6/SilverCity) An elite cast including Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, and Lili Taylor star in a clever haunted house chiller about a pair of paranormal investigators who get in over their heads when they confront a powerful entity. This is an old-school spookfest, interested in atmosphere more so than splatter.

THE CROODS -(Caprice) A prehistoric family taking an unexpected “road trip” into a magical land is the plot of this whimsical animated charmer (which has been getting great reviews). With the vocal talents of Emma Stone, Nicolas Cage, and Ryan Reynolds.

EPIC -(Caprice) In this animated family adventure a teenage girl is magically transported to a deep forest setting where she bands together with a wacky crew of critters to help battle a terrifyingly dark force that is threatening their world . . . and ours. ★★½ DESPICABLE ME 2 -(Odeon/ SilverCity/Westshore/Empire Uni 4) The 2010 original, about a loathsome criminal mastermind who was reformed by the love of three young orphan girls, was a goofy delight.

The sequel, although still clever, is much more scattershot, with an unimaginative plot and unwelcome dashes of mean spiritedness. Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, and Russell Brand supply the voices.

GROWN UPS 2 -(Caprice) Despite the name, expect the humour to be decidedly juvenile in this amiable raunchfest about the reunion of five school buddies, who have aged but not matured. Starring Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James, Rob Schneider and David Spade. ★★½ THE HEAT -(Odeon/SilverCity/ Caprice) In this raucous and sometimes hit-and-miss comedy from Paul Feig (Knocked Up), Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids) play odd-couple cops who will have to learn to work together if they are to stand a chance of taking down the drug lord who’s their assigned target. ★★ THE LONE RANGER -(Caprice) More proves to be less, as the classic western TV show from the 1950s that featured a masked lawman and his Native American sidekick gets a predictably bombastic treatment from director Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean).

Starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer. ★★ NOW YOU SEE ME -(Roxy, 9:00) The FBI and Interpol combine forces to battle a clever crew of Las Vegas illusionists who seem

to be robbing banks . . . while simultaneously performing for a casino audience. Despite a great cast that includes Morgan Freeman, Mark Ruffalo, and Jesse Eisenberg, this is a flabby caper film with little magic to it. ★★★½ PACIFIC RIM -(Odeon/ SilverCity/Caprice) Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth) helms this Transformers-ish epic about monsters that attack Earth and are opposed by giant robots controlled by human “pilots.” This is a skilfully directed and highly imaginative tribute to all those schlocky Godzilla movies of old.

SMURFS 2 -(Empire 6/SilverCity/ Empire Uni 4/Westshore) The blue munchkins are back for more pintsized adventures, this one involving a sorcerer and a diabolical kidnapping. ★★★ THIS IS THE END -(Caprice) In this truly wacked comedy, stars such as Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel and Jonah Hill play themselves as they party at James Franco’s house -- only to find themselves confronting a terrifying, demon-filled apocalypse.

Although a bit oversold and rather slapdash, this is very funny (and very rude).

TURBO -(Odeon/SilverCity/ Westshore/Caprice) The latest from Dreamworks Animation is a family comedy about an ordinary garden snail who acquires magic powers -- and the chance to achieve his dream of winning the Indy 500. With the voices of Ryan Reynolds, Paul Giamatti, Maya Rudolph, and Samuel L. Jackson. ★★★ 2 GUNS -(Odeon) Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg play rival Drug Enforcement agents who think they are investigating each other but have actually been set up by the Mob . . . and now have to shoot their way out of a world of trouble. Lots of fun! See review. ★★★½ THE WAY WAY BACK -(Odeon) A hit at Sundance, this is a funny and touching coming-of-age story about a 14-year-old boy who feels ignored by his mother and pushed around by her overbearing boyfriend (Steve Carell). Also starring Allison Janney, Toni Collette and Sam Rockwell. ★★★ WOLVERINE -(Odeon/ SilverCity/Empire Uni 4/Westshore) Hairy-faced and Adamantium-clawed Hugh Jackman travels to Japan to confront the diabolical Silver Samurai, in an entertaining Marvel Comics smackdown that combines X-men flair with martial arts and yakuza elements. Directed by James Mangold (Walk The Line, 3:10 to Yuma). ★★★ WORLD WAR Z -(Empire 6/Caprice/Roxy, 7:00) Countries topple and armies shatter in the face of a zombie pandemic, as a shaggy-haired Brad Pitt tries to save the world. This is an intense and intelligent movie that uses zombies to embody the more plausible horror of a SARS-like threat to the planet.

IMAX

FLIGHT OF THE BUTTERFLIES -(11 am, 4 pm) ★★★½ STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS -(8 pm) KENYA: ANIMAL KINGDOM -(noon, 3 pm, 6 pm) ★★★½ ROCKY MOUNTAIN EXPRESS -(1 pm, 7 pm). ★★★½ SHACKLETON’S ANTARCTIC ADVENTURE -(10 am, 2 pm, 5 pm)

CINECENTA

Cinecenta at UVic screens its films in the Student Union Building. Info: 721-8365. cinecenta.com. ★★½ THE GREAT GATSBY -(Fri.-Sat., Aug. 9-10: 7:00, 9:40 & Sun.-Mon., Aug. 11-12: 7:00 only) Baz Luhrman (Moulin Rouge) directs a lavish, over-the-top screen but decidedly uninvolving version of

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s iconic Jazz Age novel about a glamorous and mysterious millionaire on Long Island.

Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, and Carey Mulligan. ★★★½ BEFORE SUNRISE -(Tues., Aug. 13: 7:00, 9:10) It is time for a second date with Richard Linklater’s (Dazed and Confused) chatty and charming 1995 film, which featured a couple (Julie Delpy, Ethan Hawke) who meet on a train in Europe and have a magical night together.

Originally meant as a one-off, the literate and very romantic Before was so popular that it has spawned two sequels.

WHEN THE IRON BIRD FLIES -(Wed.-Thurs., Aug. 14-15: 7:00, 9:00) The Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1959 had the unintended result of spreading the exotic teachings of Tibetan Buddhism all across the world. This documentary mix of archival footage and contemporary interviews with practitioners, scholars, and Western scientists explores the possibility that these ancient teachings can lead us to a happier and more compassionate modern world.

Youth helped through grants Coast Capital spearheads community granting program Daniel Palmer News staff

Two dozen Vancouver Island youth programs received a big boost from Coast Capital Savings last week to help improve financial literacy, spur on entrepreneurs and get more young people volunteering in the community.

The Coast Capital Savings Young Leaders Community Council is granting more than $257,000 to 24 organizations on the Island that are impacting youth for the better.

“The council for youth, by youth,” said Victoria resident Ivan Watson, who chairs the Island council. “Antibullying is a priority area we’ve funded,

as well as financial literacy and other areas where we can make an impact.”

The community council began in Victoria last year and has since spread to Vancouver and Surrey.

The innovative model allows a team of eight young professionals under 30 to evaluate grant applications from organizations in their own community, said Wendy Lachance, Coast Capital’s director of community leadership.

“We’re extremely proud of the way these young leaders have come together, and the discipline they’ve really put together to follow the evaluation criteria we’ve put in front of them,” she said.

Local organizations that received funding for youth programs include the Greater Victoria Volunteer Society, KidSport, Power to Be, Community Micro Lending and the Victoria READ Society.

Coast Capital has granted about $773,000 to non-profit

organizations in B.C. so far in 2013.

In August, the financial institution will begin considering community investment grant applications for the fourth quarter of 2013. The deadline to submit an application is Aug. 23. For details, visit bit.ly/R6LK5. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Rebels hope for home comfort Travis Paterson

Westshore Rebels defenders Tanner Rodinsky (No. 98), left, and Joey Cavilla (No. 29) right, force Langley Rams player Nathan Lund out of bounds during Saturday’s (Aug. 3) B.C. Junior Football game in Langley. The Rams torched the Rebels 69-10.

News staff

The Westshore Rebels’ visit to Langley for Week 2 was a painful follow-up to the team’s B.C. Junior Football conference opener two weeks ago.

On Saturday the Rebels suffered a sobering 69-10 loss to the Langley Rams. It dropped the Langfordbased club to 0-2 on the season.

Life does’t get any easier as the Rebels host the Okanagan Sun (2-0) at Westhills Stadium on Saturday (Aug. 10). The Sun have outscored their opponents, the Valley Huskers and Vancouver Island Raiders, 82-13 in two games.

Running back Emanuel Juma, a first year player from Windsor, Ont., scored the Rebels’ only touchdown against the Rams and led both teams in rushing with 104 yards on 13 carries, including a 59-yard ramble.

The Rebels slowed the bleeding in the second half, limiting the Rams to 32 yards rushed and 57 passed, down from the Rams’ 429-yard total in the first half.

Kick off Saturday is 4 p.m. sports@vicnews.com

Tigers tops in B.C. Reborn Tigers win provincial lacrosse title Travis Paterson News staff

Saanich Tigers players needed ice baths, a pair of borrowed pads and an overnight hospital visit during the course of the long weekend and it paid off as the club won the B.C. junior B box lacrosse championship in Burnaby on Sunday.

The host Burnaby Lakers had defeated the Tigers 10-9 during the round robin and took a 9-6 lead into the third period of the gold-medal final.

But the Tigers didn’t panic and, with a tip from former senior A Victoria Shamrock Neil Doddige watching in the stands, outscored the Lakers 6-1 in the third period of the gold medal game to win the provincials 12-10.

“A lot of players put in unbelievable dedication this year to make the Tigers as good as they are,” said head coach Brett Savory.

It’s Savory’s first year with the club. He formerly coached junior A with the Nanaimo Timbermen and Victoria Shamrocks, including the Rocks’ 2008 run to the Minto Cup finals. “(Jr. A Coquitlam Adanacs coach) Doddridge came and

Ethan Garland, left, Jordan Stringer, Trevor Hansen and Jake Benson celebrate winning the B.C. junior B trophy. tipped me off to something about the Lakers’ defence. We scored two quick goals in the third period and controlled from there,” Savory said.

Captain Ethan Garland led the team with 15 goals and 25 points in four games. He was burdened with leg cramps in the final two matches, which were both on Sunday, and needed ice baths just to finish.

“It was a rewarding feeling that hasn’t fully sunk in yet.

I’m starting to realize now that we won. As my last year of lacrosse it’s a good way to finish it,” Garland said.

Originally pegged as a Jr. A player, Garland opted to work in construction and play with his friends on the Tigers the past two seasons.

“These are my best friends, we’re all friends and it’s the first provincial title for a lot of them. We had a blast.,” Garland said.

Rookie Cody Short stepped up on offence and scored a hat trick in the final, with two goals as part of the third period run that won the championship. Sam Tschritter scored the Tigers’ game winning goal.

Earlier in the tournament Tigers’ goalie Cory Mayzes had been called for illegal pads and needed to borrow a pair from the Jr. A Adanacs goalie. Mayzes lost his only pair of pads when he was ejected from the Tigers earlier game on Sunday, a 7-6 win over the Delta Islanders. “(Delta) was the only team

we had really handled in the tournament and were up 7-1 with eight minutes left when they called a pad check on Mayzes. The pads were slightly too wide and we were forced to put Hodgson in net, cold.”

Mayzes had given up just one goal on 26 shots to that point. Hodgson, however, was sticking around despite being ill and dehydrated. He had already been to the hospital for intravenus overnight and was just able to stave off the Islanders’ run of five goals, as the Tigers edged them 7-6.

Derek Jackson was named MVP of the final with a hat trick. He finished the tourney with five goals and 14 points.

Jackson was also MVP the junior B All-Star game one month ago.

Manager Chris Jackson started the Tigers three years ago.

“We worked our butts off over (the last three years) making (the Tigers) a team the guys were proud to be apart of whether we won or lost. I’m proud to have been able to share in it with (the team),” he said.

Due to the cost, about $30,000, the Tigers will not attend the Founders Cup national junior B championship in Winnipeg, Aug. 19-25.

“It’s too bad, these guys could do it too,” Savory said. sports@vicnews.com

LOCAL DIN I NG Highlanders’ year ends in PDL semis

It was the most successful Victoria Highlanders premier men’s soccer season to date.

The Highlanders’ season came to a close Friday (Aug. 2) in Austin, Texas, in a 2-0 loss to the Thunder Bay Chill in the semifinal of the Premier Development League Championship final four.

Thunder Bay’s Sergio Campano and Sullivan Silva scored the goals in the second half as the Chill won the all-Canadian match-up. The Highlanders were in it until the end, as the Chill’s second goal didn’t come until the 90th minute.

Elliot Mitrou (Oak Bay High) played an exceptional match in net, making several key saves.

Defender Andrew Ravenhill also stood out, generating several corner kick opportunities for his squad.

It was the Highlanders’ first trip to the PDL championship and first Northwest Division and Western Conference titles. celona on Sunday winning his third straight silver medal in the 1,500-metre freestyle.

The Victoria Eagles boys team won the 11-and-under AAA-tier 1 mosquito baseball provincial championship in Cloverdale over the B.C. Day weekend, taking down the Abbotsford Angels 14-7 in the final.

The final was a rematch of an earlier meeting between the Eagles and Angels, in which the Angels defeated the Eagles.

But it was the Eagles who flew ahead early in the final and hung on with a convincing 14-7 win for the gold medal.

The Eagles had advanced through a tough pool with opening day wins over Rutland 12-1

Saanich leads region in tree canopy loss More than 1,000 hectares of forest lost in past six years Kyle Slavin News staff

While aerial maps on Google are a fun tool to use to explore a city from above, the Habitat Acquisition Trust is using aerial photos to highlight a rapidly growing problem in Greater Victoria.

Between 2005 and 2011, the Capital Region lost 1,037 hectares worth of tree canopy – enough mature trees to cover every square inch of the Town of Sidney twice.

“It’s just stunning to think about the pace at which it’s happening,” said Adam Taylor, HAT’s executive director. “It appears like our tree loss is increasing in speed over the course of these years.”

HAT pored over aerial photos of Greater Victoria taken in 1986, 2005 and 2011 with a fine-tooth comb to measure tree loss. Taylor says while he expected to see big changes between 1986 and 2005, he was shocked by the drastic loss in the six years from 2005 to 2011.

“Some of the areas suffered a nine per cent loss of total tree cover in just six years. This trend

CRD tree loss 2005-11 n Saanich lost 378 hectares of tree cover and gained 532.8 ha of impervious surfaces n Langford lost 118 ha of tree cover and gained 183 ha of impervious surfaces n Metchosin lost 1.3 per cent or 66 ha of its tree cover, the lowest percentage of any municipality. Highlands was next best, losing only 1.4 per cent or 46 ha n The City of Victoria is the most “paved” – 55 per cent is covered with impervious surfaces

can’t continue forever – we’ll literally run out of trees in 50 years,” he said.

In February, the City of Victoria introduced a 50-year urban forest master plan for its 150,000 trees across the municipality.

Victoria maintains a tree canopy cover of 18 per cent, but neighbourhoods like Rock Bay, Harris Green, Burnside and North Park have less than 10 per cent coverage. Adding to the difficulty of tree canopy maintenance is the fact that only 40,000 of Victoria’s trees are on public land.

Saanich has a similar plan in place and is currently going

through a public process to update its tree preservation bylaws, but HAT still singled out Saanich as being the municipality that saw some of the biggest changes.

Between 2005 and 2011, Saanich lost 378 hectares of tree cover, and simultaneously gained 532.8 hectares of impervious surfaces like roads and buildings. Langford came in second, losing 118 hectares of tree cover.

“It’s not just a Saanich issue, it’s not just a Langford issue. Ultimately trees don’t care much about municipal boundaries. They’re all part of watersheds that start higher up. The trees higher up in those municipalities will have impacts in the municipalities below them, so we need to be engaging in this at a regional level,” Taylor said.

He credited Saanich and Victoria for each passing ambitious urban forestry strategies in recent years in an effort to curb tree loss and hopes other councils will follow suit.

“They need to think how they can protect tree cover and grow trees in areas that are currently untreed,” Taylor said. “And the vast majority of trees in our region

Geoffrey Newell was just seven when he first fledged his interested in birds. It was the movie Winged Migration and his father’s own biology background that sparked what would become a lifelong passion.

For those who have attended Geoffrey’s frequent birding tours with the Friends of Uplands Park and now the Capital Regional District, it’s no surprise the avian expert has been doing this most of his life. Those who haven’t seen the Oak Bay resident in action, however, might be surprised to know Geoffrey is only 17.

“I would say my favourite bird is the pileated woodpecker,” he says. “You find them in mature forests, they are about as big as a crow and have a red crest, and just their size for a woodpecker is pretty spectacular.”

It’s also one of the first birds Geoffrey began drawing from memory as a young boy, a talent he developed so far that he was noticed by – and became friends with – renowned Canadian wildlife artist Fenwick Lansdowne. Lansdowne, who also lived in Oak Bay, died in 2008 but told Geoffrey he reminded him of himself as a young artist. It was a defining moment for the young man, who keeps his sketchbook fresh with intricate colour drawings.

“Probably two of the best places you can go to see some

occur on private properties.

I hope we begin to realize trees have a value to our community and to our own property. Trees do need to come down for various reasons, but we need to look at

Geoffrey Newell, 17, looks for birds at Cattle Point as he leads about 20 bird lovers on the Friends of Uplands Park bird watch. The bird watch happens again on Aug. 11. incredible birds are Martindale Flats and Island View Beach,” Geoffrey says. “If you are looking for specific birds, like owls, any thick forested area, like Francis/ King park offers great viewing.”

Geoffrey has spotted 280 species of birds in Victoria – a number that officially separates him from fellow birders who take the activity more casually. However, his younger brother, Jean, 15, is only 10 finds away from catching up to his brother.

“These boys really don’t do any recreational activity just for fun,” says their mother, Brigitte. “I see that they are both perfectionists and competitive and want to be the best at everything.”

Finding bird species was a little easier before Geoffrey’s voice changed. He was able to

imitate whistles and calls, from his favourite woodpeckers to ravens and oyster catchers.

Though he grew out of that talent, the home-schooled student hopes to continue competing in karate – his other passion – into his mid-20s and intends to take biology in university.

“In order to do what you are passionate about, you really need the support of your parents, and I’ve been extremely lucky in that way,” he says.

The Friends of Uplands Park are going birding Sunday (Aug. 11) at 8 a.m. at the end of Cattle Point in the large parking lot.

Geoffrey will also give a birding lesson for the Capital Regional District on Sunday, Aug. 18, at 9 a.m. at Witty’s Lagoon in Metchosin. news@mondaymag.com

Ernie McNaughton was a teenager in the mid 1950s when older cars were readily available and cheap.

So when his 1940 Ford sedan broke down on the highway at ALYN EDWARDS Malakwa between CLASSIC Salmon Arm and RIDES Revelstoke, the 16-yearold just left it there.

He then traded a pistol bought for $8 for his brother’s black 1940 Ford convertible. It was on a trip to Calgary when the convertible ran out of gas outside a restaurant in Golden. Ernie and his buddies opted to buy breakfast with the two dollars they had left and the Ford convertible was left in front of the cafe. They hitchhiked to Calgary.

When he was 19, he bought an exotic 1937 Lincoln Zephyr coupe for $100 at a Kamloops car lot. The threepassenger coupe had been purchased new in Revelstoke on July 2, 1937 by Grace Rixon, owner of the St. Leon Hot Springs Hotel on the Columbia River near Nakusp. She paid $2,385 for the car which was one of only 5,199 Lincoln

Ernie and Marg McNaughton totally restored the 1937 Lincoln coupe they abandoned beside the TransCanada Highway outside Kamloops in 1956.

Zephyr coupes made between 1936 and 1942.

Newly married Ernie and Marg McNaughton took off in the Lincoln Zephyr coupe for a weekend honeymoon in Vernon on Nov. 2, 1956. The car got them there but it didn’t make it back.

Lincoln cars of the 1930s and 1940s had 12-cylinder engines that were

notorious for low oil pressure and high oil consumption. “I used to carry a five gallon can of used oil in that car,” Ernie recalls. The engine seized at Balmoral on the Trans-Canada Highway 60 kilometres east of Kamloops.

“I said to Marg, ‘Grab your suitcase.

Here comes a bus,’” Ernie recalls of his Continued on Pg. B2

This was all that was left of ‘37 Lincoln abandoned 20 years before.

over the next 25 years.

“In 1976, Marg and I got to talking about the old Lincoln and she said, ‘I wonder if it’s still there?’” Ernie recalls. “So we went back to the spot where we left it and there was a pile of old cars about 300 yards off the highway behind a mechanical shop. We looked through the cars and there was the Lincoln.”

But there was very little left of the old car. It had been stripped of almost all its parts including everything ahead of the firewall, the doors, trunk lid, the whole interior and all mechanical parts including the axles. Only the body shell was left.

The owner of the shop became a little difficult as Ernie attempted to reclaim his car from 20 years’ storage. But the man accepted the offer of $20. “Everybody thought I was crazy, saying it was just a piece of junk,” Ernie says. “It was really nothing with no fenders, hood, trunk, doors, everything stripped out of the interior and a big dent in the roof.”

Ernie was able to get a copy of his original registration for the car from the B.C. Motor Vehicle Branch and re-registered the car as having a lost title still in his name. He was also able to get the original registration from 1937.

The restoration started in the 1980s, enabled with the purchase

of three Lincoln parts cars in the Kamloops area for $100 each.

They included one 1936 model and two 1938 Lincoln sedans.

Body parts for the coupe were purchased from a farmer in Marquette, Michigan. Trips to swap meets in B.C., Washington and Oregon yielded the rest of the parts.

“One of the rarest items for these cars is the unique glass headlight lenses that now sell for $350 each,” Ernie says. “I was walking out of the Portland Swap Meet and passed a lady selling flowers on a table. There were African violets on two Lincoln Zephyr lenses. I bought them both for $5 and threw away the violets as I left the building.”

The inaugural run for the beautifully restored 1937 Lincoln Zephyr coupe that Ernie and Marg McNaughton first drove on their honeymoon 57 years ago was the Vintage Car Club Easter Parade in Kamloops. It received a lot of attention and a feature story in the local newspaper.

Ernie owns an exceptionally rare automobile, as it’s believed to be the only one in Canada.

The Lincoln Zephyr Club estimates there are only 36 of these cars remaining worldwide.

Queen’s personal 2001 Daimler comes to auction

As every British monarch from King Edward VII to Queen Elizabeth II has been transported in Daimler limousines, the manufacturer became well versed on protocol and, not surprisingly, this Daimler received somewhat fastidious attention before being presented to Her Majesty.

In fact, the Jaguar/Daimler factory covered some 2,500 pre-delivery miles in order to minutely examine and test every facet of the car to ensure it would receive royal approval.

A further 11,000 miles were covered whilst in the possession of Her Majesty before the vehicle was returned in 2004 to The Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust, with whom it is still registered today Vigorous bidding is anticipated, with the estimate at £25,000 to £30,000.

METROLAND MEDIA CARGUIDE MAGAZINE

On Aug. 31, the English auction house Historics will offer a 2001 Daimler Super V8 LWB with a unique specification.

A combination of the ubiquitous “one careful lady owner” and a low-recorded mileage will always help when it comes to buying or selling a used car.

A pleasing array of optional equipment will never hurt; neither will a full service history.

Resplendent in its British Racing Green livery, the 2001 Daimler Super V8 LWB limousine was, for three years, the personal transport of Her Majesty The Queen, who drove it within the Windsor Castle estate and to and from Buckingham Palace, for both private and official functions.

The Queen’s personal Daimler limo is being auctioned on August 31.

Her Majesty covered some 11,000 miles in it.

European premiere for Subaru WRX concept at Frankfurt Motor Show Metroland Media Carguide Magazine

Shown earlier this year at the New York Auto Show, the Subaru WRX Concept will make its European debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

The Subaru WRX concept vehicle – first shown earlier this year at the New York International Auto Show – will make its European debut at the 65th Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

The WRX concept hints at the final look of the next-generation WRX, a bold and muscular design giving it a strong on-street presence.

Lower, wider and sleeker than previous models, the WRX Concept places an even greater focus on

sharp handling, with a low centre of gravity and Subaru’s famous All-Wheel Drive system.

Subaru trademark design cues include a pronounced bulge on the bonnet – accompanied by the classic WRX bonnet scoop – which provides clearance for a turbocharged engine and intercooler, while also aiding engine cooling.

The WRX concept will be joined on the stand at Frankfurt by the Subaru VIZIV concept, representing Subaru’s future design direction and vision for technological innovation.

BMW i3 premieres in New York, London and Beijing The BMW Group debuted the series version of its innovative electric vehicle, the BMW i3, simultaneously in New York, London and Beijing on July 29.

The BMW i3 – the BMW Group’s first pure electric series produced model – has the same sporting genes as every BMW and is characterized by sheer driving pleasure.

The vehicle achieves a range of 130 to 160 kilometres.

The BMW Group’s experience with test fleets of MINI E and BMW ActiveE cars has shown that a range of 130 to 160 km is quite sufficient for the vast majority of drivers.

The average distance driven daily worldwide is no more than 64 km.

If desired, the BMW i3 is also available with a range-extender, which maintains the charge of the lithium-ion battery at a constant level enroute, as soon as it falls below a specified value.

This is performed by a twocylinder gasoline engine with 34 hp, mounted adjacent to the electric motor above the rear axle. The range extender increases the car’s maximum range in day-to-day driving to around 300 kilometres.

The car’s electric drivetrain generates output of 125 kW/170

hp and peak torque of 250 Newton metres, which is immediately available from a standing start. The BMW i3 sprints from 0 to 60 km/h in 3.7 seconds and from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.2 seconds. Its top speed is limited to 150 km/h for efficiency reasons.

The BMW i3 will be released in Germany and other European markets in November 2013.

The base price for the BMW i3 has been set at 34,950 Euros in Germany.

If customers opt to purchase the Range Extender as an extra, the price in Germany will amount to 39,450 Euros.

BMW is set to offer its first all-electric i3 in Europe in November.

PRESS GREATER VICTORIA

150th anniversary of Henry Ford’s birth celebrated around the world METROLAND MEDIA CARGUIDE MAGAZINE

July 30 marked the 150th anniversary of the birth of Henry Ford, whose innovative ideas revolutionized transportation and brought mobility to the masses.

Henry Ford’s enduring impact was recognized through events and declarations across the United States and around the world.

Celebrations at Ford Motor Company’s Dearborn headquarters were complemented by a special proclamation by the state of Michigan declaring this “Henry Ford Day.” In Washington, D.C., hundreds downtown and on Capitol Hill marked the day enjoying commemorative cupcakes delivered by a food truck, part of a mobile movement Henry Ford would support.

While the July 30 events mark the day of Henry Ford’s birth, they are just part of a year-long celebration of the man and his achievements.

In coming months, celebrations will continue with additional events across the United States, Europe and South America.

Henry Ford’s introduction of the automobile into the mass market transformed agricultural economies in the United States and around the world into prosperous industrial and urban markets.

Many historians credit him with creating a middle class in America. His high minimum wage – revolutionary at the time – set a precedent for fair distribution of company wealth that influenced later management practices.

Henry Ford initially struggled to get Ford Motor Company on solid financial footing, but broke through with the Model T. The iconic vehicle debuted in October 1908, opening a new era in America. More than 15 million Model Ts were built and sold as Ford Motor Company put the nation on wheels.

The innovative spirit of Henry Ford took root in many other forms after the success of the Model T, including:

• Moving assembly line: In 1913 Henry Ford introduced the first moving assembly line for cars.

Within 18 months, the amount of time needed to build a Model T was reduced from 12 ½ man-hours to 1.5 man-hours, ushering in the modern auto industry

• Vertical integration: To improve quality, Henry Ford sought to own, operate and coordinate all the resources needed to produce complete automobiles. This principle, known as vertical integration, was put into practice in 1927 with the Model A.

• $5 work day: To reduce high turnover rates among workers, Henry Ford more than doubled
