Jet fighter rumbles bring on grumbles

FAMOUS

U.S. Navy jet fighter training is reaching a higher noise level in Greater Victoria, one that is bringing grumbles from residents.

And it’s putting politicians on high alert. The mayors of both Victoria and Esquimalt and Victoria MP Murray Rankin say they’re receiving numerous complaints.

“There is significant concerns because it has escalated in the last

It happens with enough frequency that Payette wonders if the navy could release a schedule detailing the exercises, and if there’s anything that can be done to mitigate the impact.

It’s the naval air station’s third environmental review in 10 years. It studies noise and other impacts from thousands of landings and takeoffs conducted at Ault Field near Oak Harbor, Wash. and the Outlying Landing Field near Coupeville, Wash.

The consultation is prompted by the addition of 13 more EA-18s and a contract to train

Whidbey Island Navy spokesperson Ted Brown is running an environmental impact consultation process at the base, situated across the waters of the Juan de Fuca Strait, as the navy gradually replaces the 1970’s era EA-6B Prowlers with the Boeing EA-18G electronic warfare aircraft, or Growlers.

Greater Victoria residents disturbed by the jet noise can make a complaint directly to the U.S.Navy.

The first step is to report each incident to a recording line at Whidbey Island (1-370-257-6665), making sure to mention the time.

You can also email your report to comments.naswi@ navy.mil. timing and the location of the training schedule based on noise complaints.

The perception of increased noise and increased frequency of operations has generated more local complaints on Whidbey Island, and a citizen’s group called Citizens of the Ebey’s Reserve for a Healthy, Safe and Peaceful Environment filed a lawsuit against the navy in July.

City seeks ideas for fire hall

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF

Fraudsters buy gift cards illegally Victoria police are warning retailers to be on the lookout for a scam in which young men are purchasing gift cards using prepaid credit cards.

There have been several instances in the last month where young men travelling to Greater Victoria from the Lower Mainland with large numbers of pre-paid credit cards.

The suspects then visit retail outlets and coffee shops where they use the pre-paid credit cards to purchase gift cards. The information from the prepaid credit cards turns out to be fraudulently obtained.

Victoria man, 40, charged with assault A 40-year-old Victoria man has been charged with aggravated assault, forcible confinement and uttering threats after a woman was beaten in a Gorge Road East apartment building Saturday.

Richard Douglas Power’s next court appearance is Tuesday (Feb. 3).

Military groups raise $452,000 Armed Forces and Civilian personnel have raised more than $452,000 through the Government of Canada Workplace Charitable Campaign.

The local Defence Team working at more than 100 Department of National Defence units in Greater Victoria, has been a leading contributor to the campaign for many years.

The United Way of Greater Victoria and Health partners will distribute donations to the charities.

“These contributions are the result of countless hours worked by dedicated volunteers who each year make the campaign a success,” said CFB Esquimalt base commander Capt. (N) Steve Waddell.

Andrea Peacock Victoria News

be informing the CRD about the natural variability of fire events within the water supply catchment,” he said. “We’re now working to understand how vegetation in the catchment has changed through time, the signal of which is contained in abundant fossil pollen grains in the sediment.”

The forestry scientists have teamed up with the CRD because the regional body need to know about fire risk to water supply, Brown said.

“We’re using nature’s archives to learn how the land responded to past changes in climate and identifying past periods that might be analogues for the future,” he said.

Are future generations of the South Island destined to live in a fireprone region? Not quite, but fire disturbance may increase in the future.

“We need to plan for and protect against this risk. While fire is not a common form of disturbance today, it was more prevalent in the past,” Brown said.

That plan is still a few years off.

The team is hoping to produce an initial report of findings by the end of 2016.

The City of Victoria is looking into non-traditional partnerships with individuals and organizations that may have an interest in the renovation or replacement of Fire Station No. 1.

These potential collaborations will be discovered through a 10-week “market sounding.”

Collaborations may include options such as housing or a library in the fire hall, said Mayor Lisa Helps.

The purpose of the market sounding is to discover ideas that could help shape something really innovative, said Helps.

Council approved a recommendation to consider immediate priority items for Crystal Pool and Fitness Centre as part of the proposed 2015 financial plan, and to also consider future investment options upon completion of the city-wide facilities assessment.

The estimated cost of the priority repairs such as replacement of dome panels, new storm and sanitary pipes and safety upgrades to the chlorine system is $585,000.

A public engagement project plan will also be developed while the assessment is being conducted, and is to be deployed after the completion of the assessment.

Helps said no decisions will be made on Fire Hall No. 1 or Crystal Pool until the facilities assessment report is received in October, outlining the conditions of all cityowned buildings and what capital investments will need to be made.

“We own 100 or so buildings, and we know very little about the condition of many of those,” said Helps. “If we had known the condition of the fire hall and Crystal Pool, for example, when the [Johnson Street] bridge decision was originally made, I don’t think we would be building a $100-million bridge.”

In the wilderness of a remote South Island lake, Kendrick Brown leans over the boat’s edge and drives a hollow tube into the soft lakebed sediment below.

What he pulls out, one metre at a time, is a historical timeline embedded in layers of organic and nonorganic matter. It tells him about the past, and helps paint a picture of what’s to come.

“They’re nature’s archives: stratigraphic sequences in the mud that read like pages in a book,” says Brown, a research scientist with the Canadian Forest Service.

“Basically, the same mud that you sink your toes into during a summer swim is the cover of the book, a recording of history of the region based on the matter that has settled into the lake floor.”

Brown’s project team is based out of the Pacific Forestry Centre in Saanich and includes research technician Nicholas Conder, Nicholas Hebda, and University of Victoria co-op student Kiera Smith. While the focus is on the past, the results can

help inform about the future.

The team’s current focus is on sediment cores collected from the Greater Victoria Water Supply Area, namely from Begbie Lake and the Sooke Lake Reservoir.

Brown is examining records from these lakes because paleoclimate indicators suggest the past time interval known as the early Holocene (11,700-7,000 years ago) was warmer and drier compared to present-day.

Scientists hope the data may serve as a first-order reference to what future conditions may be like if induced by climate change.

There are models suggesting temperatures in southern B.C. may increase two to three degrees Celsius by 2100.

Extracting pollen and charcoal fragments from the lake sediment cores allows the team to assess how vegetation and fire disturbance have changed through time in response to “various forcing mechanisms,” Brown said.

“We now have a sense of how the fire regime has changed in the Sooke Lake Reservoir catchment throughout the Holocene (period) and will

PHOTO OF THE WEEK

OUR VIEW

U.S. Navy must work with region The unpredictable rumbling of U.S. Navy anti-radar jets over Greater Victoria is leading to frustration amongst neighbours at Ten Mile Point and elsewhere in the region.

The vibrating air traffic comes from an increase in Boeing EA-18G Growlers, and it’s only going to get worse as those jets bump up to 114 by the end of 2015 at Whidbey Island’s naval air base.

An opportunity to submit public input about the noise and other environmental impacts closed Jan. 3, and though it was open to residents on this side of the Juan de Fuca, there was little in the way of notification from our local and regional governments.

The environmental impact report will potentially be used to alter flight paths of the Growlers, so it was important for Greater Victoria residents to have had a say in the matter.

Now, most will have to wait and see what transipires over the coming year and hope the U.S. Navy respects their Northern neighbours as much as they do their own citizens when it comes to disruption.

When the U.S. Navy garners its next round of public input, the Capital Regional District should reach out directly and make sure affected residents know who to call and where to submit their concerns well in advance of the closing date.

Readers respond: Ted Harrison, health care, taxes Fond memories of Ted Harrison Re: Canada loses colourful artist (News, Jan. 21) I was saddened to read the recent passing of the artist Ted Harrison.

I met Ted in the summer of 1986, when he flew into a small and remote gold exploration camp I happened to be working at in the Northwest Territories.

This location was far above the treeline. Ted stayed in our tent camp for several days, getting some inspiration for further works.

One evening a couple of us stayed up late with Ted as he regaled us with stories, sitting on hard plywood benches inside to avoid the ravaging mosquitoes and blackflies, while the midnight sun cast a golden light within the canvas kitchen tent.

The one story that stays with me is of his riding a motorcycle in Belgium near the end of the Second World War. Not paying close enough attention, he failed

to note that the road he was on ended with a dock on a canal.

Both Ted and motorcycle sailed off the end, to a mighty splash. Ted was fine but nothing further was heard about the motorcycle, which may still lie there to this very day.

Prior to departing our camp Ted signed and left several posters of his work. Mine became a fixture on my college apartment wall, a colourful reminder of a colourful and kind man.

A special thank you to Darlene at the Gorge Road Clinic whose knowledge and perseverance greatly hastened my healing time. I would also like to acknowledge Dr. William Orrom, a very kind and gifted surgeon working under difficult circumstances due to lengthy waiting lists.

I cannot say thank you enough for the first-rate care I received from all those involved.

Drivers must pay full cost of driving Re: Gas taxes hurting us (Our View, Jan. 23) I disagree with your editorial suggesting that fuel taxes should be reduced. In fact, they should be increased so that drivers pay the full costs of driving.

According to the Victoria Transport Policy Institute, the

annual total external costs of driving a car (those costs not borne directly by the driver, such as the cost of roads, parking, and environmental impacts) amount to roughly $3,700 annually. With fuel taxes at their current level, the average Victoria driver pays only about $600 annually in fuel taxes.

This represents an annual subsidy of more than $3,000 for each vehicle in the region. This subsidy, which has to come from other taxes, distorts normal economic behavior.

Because the cost of driving to the individual is kept artificially low, people tend to drive more than they would if they had to pay the full cost of driving. This kind of distortion does not make for an efficient or competitive economy in the long run.

As someone who walks and cycles to get around, I really resent my tax dollars going to subsidize other people’s driving habits.

A facility created to allow out-of-town families to stay nearby while their children receive medical treatment at Victoria General Hospital celebrated its third birthday recently.

Jeneece Place – named for energetic young fundraiser Jeneece Edroff, who turned 21 Jan. 20 – has been a home away from home for more than 730 families since it opened in 2012.

Most come from Vancouver Island, but some have come from further reaches to have a place of respite while their children undergo operations, rehabilitation services or recover from accidents.

Linda Hughes, president and CEO of the Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island, which built and operates the 10-bedroom, fully outfitted house, said she has been surprised at the breadth of circumstances in which families that stay at the home find themselves in.

Over the three years Jeneece Place has been welcoming families, one of the more common scenarios for guests has been the birth of a premature baby or the need for their infant to stay in the neonatal intensive care unit, Hughes said.

“I don’t think anyone understood that big trend.”

Another trend that has emerged, she said, is the use of the facil-

ity by parents who live in town, as a place to perhaps freshen up or rest when their child is in hospital for tests or their baby has to stay overnight. “It’s a refuge for them.”

I first saw this handsome style, Hyundai Intrado, which is a concept crossover designed which gives the impression that the vehicle is moving to foreshadow a change design direction for the Korean even when stationary, at the Mazda6 launch in Paris manufacturer. It looks a little bit like an oversized Juke, a few years ago. Translating it into a smaller car is not the quirky Nissan product loved and hated seemingly in just a matter of shrinking the original but requires great equal measure. design skill and clearly, Mazda has that in abundance.

The concept features a hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain linked to a 36 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that Hyundai boasts will provide a range of 600 kilometres.

By the way, British Columbians will soon be able to lease a Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell, with a similar powertrain and a reported range of 425 kms.

Subaru VIZIV2 The Subaru concept crossover utility hybrid shown is a four-door version of a previously revealed two-door.

Get this: Subaru says its “athletic, rugged shape of the sides seem designed in the image of a muscular NHL defenceman, and the fenders flare in a sturdy style.”

Ahem.

Looks like it came out of the Nissan/Infiniti design studios, and that’s not a criticism.

Toyota FT1 Toyota was all about the roar of the engines in Montreal, which certainly pleased the gathered Quebec auto journos, who to a man/woman always appear to be race crazy to me (Given the market reality in Quebec, that doesn’t appear to be reflected in car buyer choices).

Nevertheless, most would surely enjoy the sleek lines of the Toyota FT-1, designed to be at home on the track and a heck of a ticket magnet on the highway.

Up next is the Toronto Show, which takes the name The Canadian International Auto Show. Bite your lip, Morgan. The Calgary show follows, then the new-look, re-imagined Vancouver International Auto Show debuts March 24-29.

Question of the Week The Canadian auto season kicked off in Montreal and the Vancouver show starts March 24. Do you plan to visit the show?

It’s the Cadillac of station wagons

By Bob McHugh

The CTS Sport Wagon (2010 – 2013) was the first in-house full production wagon (based on a sedan) made by Cadillac.

The CTS has clean, crisp, edgy styling that is distinctively modern Cadillac. The sedan edition of the highly successful rear-drive CTS was introduced for the 2003 model year and captured numerous awards. Its high-powered V variant, which followed in 2004, embarrassed Euro competitors of the day by smashing the production car lap speed record at the revered Nurburgring, in Germany.

These days, wagons are less popular here than in Europe, so the available local used car market pool, for this edition of the CTS, is not a very deep one.

North Americans tend to buy utility type vehicles instead of a wagon. A wagon is typically closer to a sedan in terms of driving dynamics, yet has more than double the cargo capability.

A CTS Sport Wagon is a little taller and heavier than the sedan, it offers 736 litres of storage space with the rear seats up, and 1,642 litres with them folded.

There’s also a clever sub-floor cargo management system and the rear door is power-operated.

The base engine is a 3.0-litre (255 horsepower) V6 that’s mated to six-speed automatic transmission. The other engine is a 24-valve, 3.6 litre, direct injection (304 horsepower) V6, that provides more

torque at lower engine speeds, yet fuel economy is about the same. Using the newly revised rating method, consumption should be about 12.8/8.6 L/100 km (city/highway).

The CTS can also come with an all-wheel drive system that normally splits torque 30/70 front-to-rear, to maintain its sporty (rear-drive) driving dynamic. It’s capable of delivering up to100 per cent of torque to either axle if needed, but there is a small increase fuel consumption.

An interesting adaptive forward lighting system was included in an option package that came with Xenon headlights.

This system automatically adjusts headlight direction for improved visibility at night. It can also turn the headlights up to 15 degrees inboard and 5 degrees outboard, providing better vision while cornering.

The big news for 2011 model year was the addition of a, limited edition, high-performance CTS-V Sport Wagon model. Like the V sedan it’s powered by a 556-horsepower supercharged V8 engine and came with 6-speed manual transmission or optional 6-speed automatic. You’ll likely pay a $20,000 premium (maybe more) to acquire a (hard to find) used CTS-V Wagon.

The 2012 edition of the CTS Sport Wagon came with a new 3.6-litre V6 engine that is more powerful (318-horsepower) yet lighter than the 3.6-litre engine it

replaced. It also came with a new grille, standard Bluetooth and a new option package that made it look like a V Wagon. No significant changes followed for 2013 and it was the last production year of this generation of the CTS. Although it can be harder to find in the used car market, Sport Wagon adds a handy utility bonus, without destroying the scintillating driving experience that is Cadillac CTS. Price Check: 2010 - 2013 Cadillac CTS (January 2015) Year Edition Expect to Pay Today 2010 Sport Wagon $17,000 to $21,000 2011 Sport Wagon $21,000 to $25,000 2012 Sport Wagon $25,000 to $29,000 2013 Sport Wagon $30,000 to $35,000 Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history. A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase.

Safety Recalls: 2010 to 2013 Cadillac CTS: 2003 to 2014: Some drivers may bump the ignition key with their knee and unintentionally move the key from out of the "run" position. A subsequent loss of engine power would unexpectedly increase steering and brake pedal effort, and airbags may not deploy in

a collision. Dealers will remove the key blade from the original flip key/transmitter assemblies provided with the vehicle, and provide two new keys and two key rings for every original key.

2009/2010 - A wax coating applied to rear suspension toe link jam nuts may allow them to loosen. This causes a metallic clanking noise from the rear of the vehicle and the toe link could eventually separate. Dealers will clean, install two new jam nuts and, if required, the rear suspension toe link will be replaced.

2011: A loss of grease from the centre constant velocity (CV) joint, on allwheel-drive editions, can result in

vibrations of the propeller shaft. These vibrations may be transferred to a rollover sensor, located on the floor above it, and cause an unwarranted deployment of the side curtain airbags.

Dealers will replace the rear propeller shaft assembly.

2012 - The brake booster pushrod retention nut may not have received adequate tightening torque during vehicle assembly and could separate from the brake pedal assembly. Dealers will inspect the pushrod retention nut and, if necessary, torque the nut to specification.

7x 7 FULL-TIME ALL-WHEEL DRIVE. BECAUSE YOU NEVER WANT OCCASIONAL TRACTION.

vibrant and livable place. “Victoria’s business owners are also community members, and contribute to community well-being as well as economic vitality.”

That’s not to say there isn’t room for improvement.

“We need to improve our investments in downtown streetscape and work to fill vacancies. The City needs to be creative and a good partner to industry to do this. We need to focus efforts on economic development and prosperity creation over next four years, starting now. This will require bold action and implementing new ideas,” the mayor notes.

“Victoria is a hub of tech, tourism, government, marine industry, and our social enterprise sector is growing rapidly. Victoria is also a place with local food, beer and coffee scenes that are growing and two First Nations that are on the move with community economic development. And, Victoria is a place brimming with innovation. City Hall has an important role to play in nurturing local prosperity.”

And while consumers hear much about the importance of “shopping local” in terms of supporting local businesses, retaining jobs and maintaining a vibrant downtown, the impact actually reaches far beyond that. “Shopping local keeps a large percentage of every dollar spent in the local economy where it can be spent and re-spent.”

DID YOU KNOW? ➤ The City of Victoria issued 10,198 Business Licences in 2014; nearly 1,000 of those were new licences. ➤ The Township of Esquimalt issued 633 business licences in 2014, including 86 new licences. ➤ Looking for a business in Victoria?

YOUR HEALTH

President’s own story: 15 years ago I started to have arthritis, prostate, kidney, snoring and sleep apnea problems, which were all helped quickly with natural health products. I made it my life’s purpose to help others. Nick A. Jerch

ARTHRITIS

Pain free in 2 weeks. This is what happened to me personally. I tried drugs, acupuncture, magnets and many other methods. Finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. It gave me the idea that I could help thousands of the 5 million men and women suffering daily in Canada with the worst pain on earth to have less pain or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle. <For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage #1 spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night with 3 bottles costing less than $100. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON. <Cancelled knee replacement. 1 was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now.

Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK. <At first I was skeptical. I gradually noticed an improvement. Then I took another brand. I was surprised having so much pain again. Eventually I realized that I needed to re-order Bell. Found relief again. Marie Ciraulo, 72, Oakland, CA. <Many people on our website write: “Can walk #1 NPN 80042283 again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can sleep at night” Rheumatoid arthritis in joints down 90%, same for my sister…Also guaranteed for sciatica. Hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.

Frequent BATHROOM TRIPS?

Men Bell Prostate Ezee Flow Tea

Men have relief in 3-5 days from dribbling, burning and rushing to the toilet. Relaxes blood flow for better erections. Helps also with male incontinence. Works in virtually every case. If you are considering surgery, try this tea first. Hundreds of delighted men testifying on our web site:æHad to get up every hour at night. Now I get up once a night. Joseph Whittaker, Sewell, NJ æ I cancelled my prostate surgery.

Get up once a night. I'm so happy not to have to face the torment of a prostate operation and possible incontinence and impotence. Albert E. Blain, 74, Schumacher, ON æEven after TURP prostate surgery and microwave therapy had to get up many times. Now down to 1-2 times. Tea is 100% better than drugs. Robert G. Stocker, Eustasis, FL æAfter 1st year drinking tea my PSA went down to 4.5; after 2nd year to 2.9; after 3rd year to 2.3. I highly recommend the tea. A real life saver. Thomas M. Thurston, #4a NPN 80051642 Forsyth, GA. Women Ask for #4b Bladder Control Tea for Women. It seems so unbelievable, most women don't know there is a delicious tasting herbal tea available in all health food stores that stops incontinence, bladder infections, UTis within days and women keep on wearing costly pads and diapers. Try the tea. It is guaranteed. Go shopping and travelling again worry free. We have helped tens of thousands of women.

Shape and Health

A new and improved natural product with the proven ocean kelp bladderwrack. Many men and women wrote us that this ocean kelp reduced cravings and hunger for sweets and starchy food.

#5-SH NPN 80051637

<Lost 15 lbs in 3 months. Bell Shape & Health naturally curbed my appetite and actually gave me more energy for workouts. My friends and family are on it now too. Latoya Daniella Scott, 29, Shuterville, SC. <Shape & Health decreased my appetite for sugary food. Lost 5 lbs this month. I feel I have more energy. Thank you. Barbara Huether, 66, Soper, OK. <Finally lost the extra weight I wanted to lose for years. The instructions with Shape & Health helped to be more selective in non-fattening food choices. Krystyne Petermann, 23, Pensacola, FL.

Healthy eating fuels ultramarathoner Kevin Laird Victoria News

To say Moe Beaulieu lives a healthy lifestyle would be an understatement.

Beaulieu has completed more than 130 ultramarathons, with his most recent – a 100 mile distance – to celebrate his 70th birthday last September.

But despite being a committed athlete for more than 35 years, Beaulieu has had his health challenges, too.

Four years ago Beaulieu was diagnosed with Stage 4 throat cancer.

Doctors gave him two months to live.

“I quickly decided I was going to beat the cancer, and not let it beat me,” Beaulieu said.

His first course of action was to radically change his diet. He eliminated all acidic forming processed sugars, followed by dairy a week later, then all animalbased foods.

Today, he’s a true believer in veganism, and can’t resist telling other people about it.

He’s one of three guest speakers at tomorrow’s (Jan. 31) Healthy Eating Day at Save-on-Foods, located at 1950 Foul Bay Rd., in Victoria. Other speakers include Ellen Bayerns from the Celiac Scene as well as Claire Marie from Claire Marie Weight Loss of Victoria.

The event, from noon to 4 p.m., celebrates healthy eating and will also include food ven-

Good food n EVENT: Healthy Eating Day n WHEN: Saturday (Jan. 31), noon to 4 p.m. n WHERE: Save-onFoods, 1950 Foul Bay Rd., Victoria

dors and entertainment.

“I changed my diet to make sure I stayed alive,” Beaulieu said.

“I always had a good diet, I thought, but I fine tuned it to help fight the cancer.”

Beaulieu said it was not hard to move from

a carnivore diet to a vegan diet.

Contrary to popular belief, he said, there are countless food choices and tastes.

“We have to make the right choices not just always follow the majority and eat for recreation. It’s all about good health.

“I eat absolutely delicious foods. It’s never ending.”

Beaulieu must be on to something. In April, he plans to compete in his 132nd ultramarathon – cancer free. klaird@blackpress.ca

The I-400 class were known as the Sentoku in Japan (meaning “special submarine”) and were conceived by the same man who designed the attack on Pearl Harbour, Japanese Combined Fleet Commander-in-Chief Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto.

planes), then be picked up by an onboard hydraulic crane and returned to the sub, which would in turn disappear beneath the waves.

Perhaps even more remarkably, the Sentoku had a range of 59,545 kilometres, and could travel around the world 1.5 times before needing to be refueled. This capacity remains unmatched to this day by any diesel-electric submarine.

It also had an extremely advanced rubberized coating designed to keep it relatively undetectable by Allied sonar.

So, why isn’t the I-400 class better known? Quite simply, it’s because they never had a chance to participate in the war.

I-400 and I-401 were on their way to their first engagement at the Ulithi Atoll in August 1945, but before they arrived the war ended with the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Their Seiran bombers were pushed into the sea to escape American capture, but the two subs were seized on Aug. 28, 1945 and returned to Sasebo.

There a number of Japanese subs were sunk, including the I-402, but I-400 and I-401 were then sailed to Hawaii for the American Navy to examine.

A year later, they were deliberately torpedoed and sank to the bottom of the sea. There was great concern that the Soviets might get their hands on this technology and use it to their advantage in the nascent Cold War. The remains of I-401 were found again in 2005 and those of the I-400 in August 2013, close to the location of the USS Kailua.

A single Seiran plane survives today in the National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C., the only visible remnant of a unique piece of largely forgotten naval history.

B.C. ASSESSMENT SAYS | Market value for assessment is the most probable price of a property

Assessment vs. market value Valerie Edwards Victoria News contributor

There is no other concept within real estate that is more misunderstood than tax assessed value as it relates to market value.

Let’s start with definitions.

Market value is the value buyers place on a property. It’s what buyers are willing and able to pay for a specific property at a specific time.

Tax assessment is the value a municipality places on a home once a year, to determine its annual property taxes.

From the above definitions you can see at once the vast difference between the two. First of all, the people who determine market value as opposed to assessed value are very different. Buyers determine market value. Government employees determine tax assessed value.

Secondly, the purpose for which these values are determined are plainly different. Government agents working for the tax authority are objective, or should be, in their value determination. They use data such as lot size, house size and very generalized “sold” data from the MLS system.

Considering that only a small percentage of homes sell every year, this data is quite limited when used to determine the assessed values of each and every home in a jurisdiction.

Timing is also an important aspect to consider.

The tax authority’s data is collected and adjusted once a year, whereas the market that is buyerdriven can change, literally, in two weeks.

Unlike buyers, government agents rarely enter properties to see if there has been any updating.

There can be two properties side by side that seem similar on paper:

Kevin Laird/Victoria News

When in the process of determining the value of a property for the purposes of selling or buying, never rely on the tax assessed value, says realtor Valerie Edwards. same sized lot, same sized house and built in the same year.

But if one has had a recent $40,000 kitchen and bathroom renovation and the other one is still in its original 1950’s glory, the tax assessment will not reflect this difference, but a buyer’s estimation of value will certainly be affected.

Buyers and their respective real estate representatives compare properties that not only have recently sold, but are currently on the market in order to determine what value a particular property holds for them. That value can be general in nature, but at the same

time unique to each buyer and property.

In more than 20 years of experience, I have found that, other than in the most general sense, there is no consistent or reliable relationship between tax assessed value and market value.

When in the process of determining the value of a property for the purposes of selling or buying, never rely on the tax assessed value.

Instead use the services of a realtor who not only will have information on recently sold properties similar to yours,

New Kitchen? Give us your old one!

they will have actually seen the condition of the property in question.

They will also know the current state of the market, whether it’s going up, down or is static. And because of the unique value that buyers can sometimes place on a home beyond the data, a skilled agent can sometimes know that a certain property is likely to sell for more or for less based on experience and their intuitive powers.

I first saw this handsome style, Hyundai Intrado, which is a concept crossover designed which gives the impression that the vehicle is moving to foreshadow a change design direction for the Korean even when stationary, at the Mazda6 launch in Paris manufacturer. It looks a little bit like an oversized Juke, a few years ago.

The concept features a hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain linked to a 36 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that Hyundai boasts will provide a range of 600 kilometres.

Subaru VIZIV2 The Subaru concept crossover utility hybrid shown is a four-door version of a previously revealed two-door.

Get this: Subaru says its “athletic, rugged shape of the sides seem designed in the image of a muscular NHL defenceman, and the fenders flare in a sturdy style.”

Looks like it came out of the Nissan/Infiniti design studios, and that’s not a criticism.

Toyota FT1 Toyota was all about the roar of the engines in Montreal, which certainly pleased the gathered Quebec auto journos, who to a man/woman always appear to be race crazy to me (Given the market reality in Quebec, that doesn’t appear to be reflected in car buyer choices).

Nevertheless, most would surely enjoy the sleek lines of the Toyota FT-1, designed to be at home on the track and a heck of a ticket magnet on the highway.

Up next is the Toronto Show, which takes the name The Canadian International Auto Show. Bite your lip, Morgan. The Calgary show follows, then the new-look, re-imagined Vancouver International Auto Show debuts March 24-29.

It’s the Cadillac of station wagons

By Bob McHugh

The CTS Sport Wagon (2010 – 2013) was the first in-house full production wagon (based on a sedan) made by Cadillac.

The CTS has clean, crisp, edgy styling that is distinctively modern Cadillac. The sedan edition of the highly successful rear-drive CTS was introduced for the 2003 model year and captured numerous awards. Its high-powered V variant, which followed in 2004, embarrassed Euro competitors of the day by smashing the production car lap speed record at the revered Nurburgring, in Germany.

These days, wagons are less popular here than in Europe, so the available local used car market pool, for this edition of the CTS, is not a very deep one.

North Americans tend to buy utility type vehicles instead of a wagon. A wagon is typically closer to a sedan in terms of driving dynamics, yet has more than double the cargo capability.

A CTS Sport Wagon is a little taller and heavier than the sedan, it offers 736 litres of storage space with the rear seats up, and 1,642 litres with them folded.

There’s also a clever sub-floor cargo management system and the rear door is power-operated.

The base engine is a 3.0-litre (255 horsepower) V6 that’s mated to six-speed automatic transmission. The other engine is a 24-valve, 3.6 litre, direct injection (304 horsepower) V6, that provides more

torque at lower engine speeds, yet fuel economy is about the same. Using the newly revised rating method, consumption should be about 12.8/8.6 L/100 km (city/highway).

The CTS can also come with an all-wheel drive system that normally splits torque 30/70 front-to-rear, to maintain its sporty (rear-drive) driving dynamic. It’s capable of delivering up to100 per cent of torque to either axle if needed, but there is a small increase fuel consumption.

An interesting adaptive forward lighting system was included in an option package that came with Xenon headlights.

This system automatically adjusts headlight direction for improved visibility at night. It can also turn the headlights up to 15 degrees inboard and 5 degrees outboard, providing better vision while cornering.

The big news for 2011 model year was the addition of a, limited edition, high-performance CTS-V Sport Wagon model. Like the V sedan it’s powered by a 556-horsepower supercharged V8 engine and came with 6-speed manual transmission or optional 6-speed automatic. You’ll likely pay a $20,000 premium (maybe more) to acquire a (hard to find) used CTS-V Wagon.

The 2012 edition of the CTS Sport Wagon came with a new 3.6-litre V6 engine that is more powerful (318-horsepower) yet lighter than the 3.6-litre engine it

replaced. It also came with a new grille, standard Bluetooth and a new option package that made it look like a V Wagon. No significant changes followed for 2013 and it was the last production year of this generation of the CTS. Although it can be harder to find in the used car market, Sport Wagon adds a handy utility bonus, without destroying the scintillating driving experience that is Cadillac CTS. Price Check: 2010 - 2013 Cadillac CTS (January 2015) Year Edition Expect to Pay Today 2010 Sport Wagon $17,000 to $21,000 2011 Sport Wagon $21,000 to $25,000 2012 Sport Wagon $25,000 to $29,000 2013 Sport Wagon $30,000 to $35,000

Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history. A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase.

Safety Recalls: 2010 to 2013 Cadillac CTS: 2003 to 2014: Some drivers may bump the ignition key with their knee and unintentionally move the key from out of the "run" position. A subsequent loss of engine power would unexpectedly increase steering and brake pedal effort, and airbags may not deploy in

a collision. Dealers will remove the key blade from the original flip key/transmitter assemblies provided with the vehicle, and provide two new keys and two key rings for every original key.

2009/2010 - A wax coating applied to rear suspension toe link jam nuts may allow them to loosen. This causes a metallic clanking noise from the rear of the vehicle and the toe link could eventually separate. Dealers will clean, install two new jam nuts and, if required, the rear suspension toe link will be replaced.

2011: A loss of grease from the centre constant velocity (CV) joint, on allwheel-drive editions, can result in

vibrations of the propeller shaft. These vibrations may be transferred to a rollover sensor, located on the floor above it, and cause an unwarranted deployment of the side curtain airbags.

Dealers will replace the rear propeller shaft assembly.

2012 - The brake booster pushrod retention nut may not have received adequate tightening torque during vehicle assembly and could separate from the brake pedal assembly. Dealers will inspect the pushrod retention nut and, if necessary, torque the nut to specification.

FULL-TIME ALL-WHEEL DRIVE. BECAUSE YOU NEVER WANT OCCASIONAL TRACTION.

YOUR HEALTH

President’s own story: 15 years ago I started to have arthritis, prostate, kidney, snoring and sleep apnea problems, which were all helped quickly with natural health products. I made it my life’s purpose to help others. Nick A. Jerch

ARTHRITIS

Pain free in 2 weeks. This is what happened to me personally. I tried drugs, acupuncture, magnets and many other methods. Finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. It gave me the idea that I could help thousands of the 5 million men and women suffering daily in Canada with the worst pain on earth to have less pain or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle. <For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage #1 spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night with 3 bottles costing less than $100. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON. <Cancelled knee replacement. 1 was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now.

Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK. <At first I was skeptical. I gradually noticed an improvement. Then I took another brand. I was surprised having so much pain again. Eventually I realized that I needed to re-order Bell. Found relief again. Marie Ciraulo, 72, Oakland, CA. <Many people on our website write: “Can walk #1 NPN 80042283 again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can sleep at night” Rheumatoid arthritis in joints down 90%, same for my sister…Also guaranteed for sciatica. Hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.

Frequent BATHROOM TRIPS?

Men Bell Prostate Ezee Flow Tea

Men have relief in 3-5 days from dribbling, burning and rushing to the toilet. Relaxes blood flow for better erections. Helps also with male incontinence. Works in virtually every case. If you are considering surgery, try this tea first. Hundreds of delighted men testifying on our web site:æHad to get up every hour at night. Now I get up once a night. Joseph Whittaker, Sewell, NJ æ I cancelled my prostate surgery.

Get up once a night. I'm so happy not to have to face the torment of a prostate operation and possible incontinence and impotence. Albert E. Blain, 74, Schumacher, ON æEven after TURP prostate surgery and microwave therapy had to get up many times. Now down to 1-2 times. Tea is 100% better than drugs. Robert G. Stocker, Eustasis, FL æAfter 1st year drinking tea my PSA went down to 4.5; after 2nd year to 2.9; after 3rd year to 2.3. I highly recommend the tea. A real life saver. Thomas M. Thurston, #4a NPN 80051642 Forsyth, GA. Women Ask for #4b Bladder Control Tea for Women. It seems so unbelievable, most women don't know there is a delicious tasting herbal tea available in all health food stores that stops incontinence, bladder infections, UTis within days and women keep on wearing costly pads and diapers. Try the tea. It is guaranteed. Go shopping and travelling again worry free. We have helped tens of thousands of women.

Shape and Health

A new and improved natural product with the proven ocean kelp bladderwrack. Many men and women wrote us that this ocean kelp reduced cravings and hunger for sweets and starchy food.

<Lost 15 lbs in 3 months. Bell Shape & Health naturally curbed my appetite and actually gave me more energy for workouts. My friends and family are on it now too. Latoya Daniella Scott, 29, Shuterville, SC. <Shape & Health decreased my appetite for sugary food. Lost 5 lbs this month. I feel I have more energy. Thank you. Barbara Huether, 66, Soper, OK. <Finally lost the extra weight I wanted to lose for years. The instructions with Shape & Health helped to be more selective in non-fattening food choices. Krystyne Petermann, 23, Pensacola, FL.

BLACK PRESS GREATER VICTORIA- Friday, January 30, 2015

A work van with contemporary car looks Looks The NV200 has a very modern and European look to it. The signature Nissan grill, swept back front windshield, large side mirrors, and front windows that drop down low enough to make it comfortable to rest your arm. There are dual side doors that open and close with minimum effort, which is important when loading and unloading all day long. Large body panels in place of rear glass, which gives it an excellent location for signage. The rear

features large 40/60 split rear doors and again these are easy to open and close.

In The Cab Much attention was given to designing the cab for functionality and comfort.

The driver’s seat is a sixway adjustable with manual lumbar and armrest with vinyl wear patches sewn in which is a nice touch. The centre console acts like a mobile office with laptop/ hanging file folder storage, pen/pencil tray, CD holder, and dual cup holders. There is additional storage under the passenger seat in the form of a tray. In addition the passenger seat folds down to provide a worktop surface. AM/FM/CD with auxiliary input and two front door mounted speakers. There is an optional Nissan navigation system, Bluetooth, XM satellite radio, rear-view monitor, and telematics pre wiring so you can install GPS tracking to keep an eye on your fleet.

There are 20 integrated cargo mounting points to attach shelving units so you

Safety first Standard safety features include advanced airbag system, roof mounted curtain side impact supplemental air bags for front occupant head protection, front seat mounted driver and passenger side impact air bags, vehicle dynamic control, and tire pressure monitoring system.

Roadworthy I drove this vehicle downtown to pick up some parts and found it very easy to manouevre in busy traffic.

The backup camera works

very well and coupled with the side mirrors you can pretty much get into any tight area, with ease.

Verdict Nissan has been involved in the work truck industry

for a while now through products like the Titan and Frontier. With the addition of the NV, the NV200 and soon the NV200 electric vehicle, Nissan has become a force. Fleet managers and consumers all across the country are going to stand up and take notice.
