GVHA pursues new suitors for steamship terminal Maritime museum, harbour authority talks at stalemate Kendra Wong Victoria News

The Greater Victoria Harbour Authority is looking into other businesses that could move into the Inner Harbour Steamship Terminal, if an agreement can’t be reached with the Maritime Museum of B.C. by this fall.

Ian Robertson, CEO of the harbour authority, said they have put out a request for proposals and have had a “very positive” response from businesses and organizations interested in leasing the 6,000-square-foot province-owned building.

“We’ve got a request for proposals right now that if we don’t get an agreement reached with the maritime museum where the provincial government is involved then I’m left with no other choice other than to find other suitable tenants for that space,” said Robertson.

The harbour authority is the primary tenant of the building on Belleville Street. They originally signed a sixmonth contract with the maritime museum to occupy the space.

But since the contract expired on Feb. 28, negotiations have stalled even further between the authority, the museum and Ministry of Transportation, Ministry of Community Sport and Cultural Development and Ministry of Technology Innovation and Citizen Services.

The original negotiation deadline was March 31, which then was pushed back to April 15 and the three parties have still not reached an agreement.

Robertson added they are losing money on the building.

Fire forces evacuation Kendra Wong Victoria News

Several residents were evacuated from their homes after a fire damaged an office space on Yates Street early Tuesday morning.

Around 2:14 a.m., the Victoria Fire Department responded to a report of smoke at 524 Yates St. When crews arrived, they discovered a fire burning in a space on the main floor.

The fire had been suppressed by water from a sprinkler that had been activated and fire crews were able to completely extinguish the fire.

Some 60 residents living above the commercial were alerted by the building’s alarm system and

evacuated before fire crews arrived. They were able to return to their homes after the smoke had been cleared.

Damage, which is estimated at $20,000, was contained to a one-metre area on the floor. There was also smoke damage, minimal heat damage and some water damage.

The space was under renovation and the cause is believed to be improper disposal or storage of construction materials related to the finishing of the wood floor. The floor was finished with Tung Oil, a drying oil, and it was likely that the fire was a result of spontaneous combustion from the materials, according to a report. kendra.wong@vicnews.com

Bell rings Japanese friendship The City of Victoria and its twin city Morioka, Japan rung in its 30th anniversary with a symbolic gift at Centennial Park Tuesday.

In celebration of three decades of interactions between the two cities, patrons of the Morioka Victoria Friendship Society gifted a bell called the Bell of Friendship to reflect the significant support and financial aid that residents in Victoria donated during the time of the Great East Japan earthquake and tsunami in March 2011.

The two cities also renewed the twinning agreement, which has included visits and a series of cultural and sporting exchanges, school exchanges and home stay programs, and other interactions to strengthen economic and community development.

Six delegates from the Japanese city came for the celebration.

Teachers spend to create better learning spaces Angela Cowan Black Press

Walk into any elementary school classroom and there will no doubt be colourful borders on bulletin boards, alphabets tacked to the walls, crafts in the corners and science experiments in progress.

What might not be readily apparent is that the majority of those colourful and engaging learning tools were likely purchased with the teacher’s own money.

In this week’s instalment of the Black Press/Staples Great Teachers feature series, we speak on that subject with four educators from Sidney elementary.

“If a school suddenly went from having 12 divisions one year to having 13 divisions the next year, that teacher would walk into a bare classroom,” says Grade 4/5 teacher Jennifer Alberring.

“You’d have the furniture, and whatever you could scrounge from everyone else,” adds Grade 2/3 teacher Lisa Kjernisted.

Her classroom is full of cool stuff: buckets of paintbrushes, positivity posters, and a whimsical, oversized leaf at a cozy reading station. It’s the kind of classroom any kid would love to hang out in, and it’s where Kjernisted, Alberring and fellow Grade 2/3 teachers Lori Richards and Nancy

Angela Cowan/News staff

Sidney elementary teachers Nancy Fredeen, left, Lori Richards, Jennifer Alberring and Lisa Kjernisted are out-of-pocket several hundred dollars annually. For on-call teachers, they say, that number can be as high as $1,000 per year.

Fredeen have gathered to talk about how much they actually spend on classroom supplies every year.

The four have more than 80 years combined teaching experience, and they’re pretty much in agreement on the minimum amount of personal money they spend each year.

“At least $200 to $300 over what (the parent advisory council) gives us, easy,” Fredeen says. And that’s for a teacher who’s settled

in one school, teaching a regular grade. Having taught as an on-call teacher for a number of years, she says expenditures can skyrocket for substitutes, up to and often over $1,000 each year.

“I bought a lot as a substitute teacher, and a lot of books. I had a kindergarten box and I had a Grade 5 box,” she says. “Some schools have a lot, some schools don’t have very much at all.”

Add in crafts for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, Christmas proj-

ects, small birthday tokens for their students, art supplies, and it all adds up. “You have to get really creative,” says Richards. “It’s easy to spend $100 a month.”

“I’m constantly thinking, how can I make this cheaper, but still nice so the kids can be proud of it,” says Kjernisted.

She and the others are quick to stress how hard their PAC works to raise money for supplies.

In addition to raising money for field trips and school programs, the PAC provides teachers with $200 to $300 each year from fundraising efforts like bake sales, craft fairs, silent auctions and the like, but it’s rarely enough.

“People say jokingly in October, ‘I’ve already spent my budget for the year,’” Alberring says.

Even something as simple as a basic science experiment: mixing flour and water to create a nonNewtonian liquid, can be an issue.

The teacher needs to find flour and sometimes it’s easier to pick it up with the family groceries, says Alberring.

Her class bookshelf is full of

adventure novels, science books and everything in between – mostly bought with her own money. “We value education, which is why we’re putting our money into it,” she says. “And the parents value it, which is why they work so hard fundraising.”

Habit Coffee owner Shane Devereaux rides his company bike down Broughton Street to promote Bike to Work Week.

Dear Minister Fassbender: RE: School District No. 61 (Greater Victoria) Needs Budget Each year School District No. 61 (Greater Victoria) engages in a broad based consultative process requesting input from our educational partner groups, school planning councils and the public. Each year through our process the groups involved reach the same conclusion: the Ministry of Education is not providing the level of funding required to meet the educational needs of our students.

The district spends its funds efficiently and effectively but the gap continues to grow each year between what the district receives in provincial government funding and what is required to provide the necessary programming and supports to ensure continued student success. In past years, the Greater Victoria Board of Education has made numerous challenging budget decisions that included closing eight schools, eliminating administrative positions and supplies, reducing facilities supplies budgets and relocating educational programs. The school district has been on the leading edge of participating in shared service initiatives in order to realize cost savings. Every effort has been made to maintain a focus on the best possible outcome for students.

As part of the process to allocate the Learning Improvement/Teacher Education Fund, principals, teachers and support staff engaged in a collaborative approach to identify the additional services needed to adequately meet the needs of their students. After allocating the Learning Improvement/Teacher Education Fund of $3.0 million for teacher and educational assistant time to schools, the unmet need identified by the schools to support students was 49 full time equivalent teachers and 118 hours per week of educational assistant time for a total cost of $4.97 million in the following areas: • Special Education: teachers for learning support, special education and English Language Learning and educational assistants • Specialist support such as an increase in speech language pathologist positions • Extra teachers including an instructional focus on literacy, numeracy and technology • Counselling and Teacher-Librarians School Planning Councils and Education Partner Groups were asked the following question: “What areas should be given priority to support student achievement and district goals?” The input received indicated the most need for additional support in: • Special education • Extra teachers to reduce class size • Technology integration into classrooms • Counsellors • Additional resources to support systemic and cultural change The recommendations made by the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services (2015) for the K-12 Public Education Sector included “Provide stable, predictable and adequate funding to enable school districts to fulfill their responsibility to provide continued equitable access to quality public education and to meet required repair and maintenance costs” and “Provide resources to identify and address the growing number of students with special needs and those with minimal English language skills” which are consistent with the needs identified by our school community.

Without appropriate funding, it is extremely difficult to create innovative programs, provide the technological and skills training, and personalized learning opportunities that keep students engaged and best prepares them for a world beyond the classroom. We urge the Government to embrace their obligation to fully fund public education to ensure that the diverse learning needs of our students are met.

Sincerely, Edith Loring-Kuhanga, Board Chair Greater Victoria School District Chief Ron Sam Songhees First Nation John Bird, Chair Victoria Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils Benula Larsen, President Greater Victoria Teachers’ Association Melanie Houston, President Allied Specialists’ Association Brad Hall, President CUPE Local 947 Gilles Larose, President CUPE Local 382

Bike to Work Week pedals into town Kendra Wong Victoria News

Riding around downtown Victoria, it’s hard not to notice Shane Devereaux and his bicycle.

Devereaux has two Dutch bikes that he brought back from Amsterdam roughly eight years ago that he rides around the city, the first of which is a classic Dutch bike made for casual city riding.

Its high seat and handle bars force the rider to sit upright with a straight back.

The second is a classic 1945 black omafiets grandma bike equipped with a lightweight steel frame, large wheels, a sturdy chain case and a sturdy rear rack with elastic straps that can hold “a case of beer or your girlfriend,” laughs Devereaux.

“The style of bike is very much unique.

No one else had that bike at the time,” says Devereaux, the owner of Habit Coffee and Oaklands resident. “It’s a piece of history. It’s a simple bike but it’s got some style and character, and it’s a hell of a bike to ride.”

Devereaux, a Saskatoon-native, has been riding since he was five years old. After completing high school in Cowichan, he slowly stopped riding his bike.

It wasn’t until he moved back to Victoria in 2003 after a stint in Europe that he came to realize how important riding a bike can be physically and mentally.

“Peter Zambri talked about the stress of your day and what a bike allowed you to do was to have that 10-15 min-

Mark your calendar n EVENT: Bike to Work Week n WHEN: May 25-31 n WEBSITE: biketowork. ca

utes of peace. You ride your bike home, clear your thoughts, see the environment and see the world,” he says. “Peter’s comments always stuck with me . . . that was the catalyst for me getting back on the bike.”

Now, Devereaux rides his bike every day to and from work and everywhere in between.

He is part of a generation that is learning to ride bikes rather than drive cars.

Edward Pullman, president of the Greater Victoria Cycling Coalition, says younger generations are more aware of the environmental impacts of owning a car.

“I think my generation are concerned about climate change, global warming and those broader societal questions related to automobile usage. Things like congestion, air pollution, noise,” says Pullman.

“Everyone really benefits when individuals make that choice to ride their bikes, whether it’s to the store, the school, work, the rec centre.”

Devereaux and Pullman are also encouraging people to participating in Bike to Work Week which kicks off Monday.

Theresa Gulliver, executive director of the Greater Victoria Bike to Work Society, says there are 550 teams registered so far, 18 celebration stations, a 50/50 raffle an online auction and $30,000 in prizes.

“We’re wondering if we’re even going to get a proposal and if yes, when can we expect it.

We haven’t even had a response to say yes you can expect one,” said Robertson.

“What we would like to see contained in there is a financial commitment to the Maritime Museum or to the GVHA to ensure we can run on a break even at a space that we would lease to the maritime museum.”

Clay Evans, chair of the Maritime Museum of B.C. Society Board, said they are keeping their eyes open for other potential sites to house the roughly 35,000 museum artifacts, which are being kept in a storage facility and its Bastion Square facility.

“The MMBC board still feels that the lower level of the Steamship Terminal is ready made for a maritime museum and that is where we belong,” said Evans in an email.

“We realize that after close to 10 months, that certain parties to the negotiations may feel the need to move on. The politics and real property agreements around this building are inordinately complex and the MMBC is somewhat in the middle and becoming a victim of this dysfunction. That said, I do feel that for the most part all of the key players in the province and at the GVHA are doing their best.”

There is no timeline currently set for negotiations, said Robertson.

Scientific freedom Federal public scientists want the protection of their right to speak freely enshrined in their collective agreements.

First of all, before we get into anything, let’s take a moment to remember that freedom of speech is their right as citizens of a democracy and specifically their rights as Canadians. But aside from that, there is a great public interest in governmentpaid or funded scientists being able to exercise their right to freedom of speech.

There is some room for confidentiality in the process of disseminating information by scientists who are specifically hired to find out the truth of things. You can’t have them just blasting their mouths off. The same standards of accuracy, honesty and corroboration should apply to their opinions as they do to their research and the publicizing of that research.

But as the ultimate employer of these scientists, the taxpayers own their research and therefore have a right to know everything about it. They answer to the citizens of this country not to the politicians.

Truth in science is more important today than ever.

We here on the West Coast know that as well as anybody as we weigh conflicting claims regarding crucial fish science and the environment. We need to be able to depend on our taxpayer-funded scientists to tell us what the facts are.

The Stephen Harper Conservatives have done a disservice to the citizens of this country by muzzling scientists and hacking scientific research to bits.

The information researchers uncover belong to us and our public scientists need to feel safe enough to express their informed opinions.

What’s more, publicly-funded science should be neutral and unbiased. No corporate interference is acceptable.

This is not science for sale. It’s science for the public good.

virtual eradication of its critical food source throughout much of its migration path by profligate use of a glyphosate-based weed killer called Roundup. Blanketing fields with the herbicide kills plants like milkweed. As a result, several U.S. Midwest states – the heart of monarch breeding territory – have lost most of their native milkweed, causing monarch reproductive rates to drop by more than 80 per cent.

A recent study suggests glyphosate is merely the first of a one-two toxic punch from industrial agricultural operations.

The second is neonicotinoids, the controversial nicotine-based insecticides that have been identified as a chief culprit in the decline of honeybees, along with a host of birds, bees and butterflies. It appears that even at one part per billion, these chemicals can affect monarch caterpillar development, delivering a potential knockout blow for the imperilled insects.

The good news is that many jurisdictions are catching up with the science. Ontario’s government has proposed

regulations to reduce neonic use by 80 per cent over the next couple of years. In early April, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued a moratorium on new applications to use neonicotinoids.

What can you do to help?

While government agencies in Mexico, the U.S. and Canada are scrambling to hatch plans to save monarchs, the scientific community has been clear: A lot of milkweed must be planted over the next few years. One great opportunity is the many thousands of kilometres of linear corridors – rail, road and hydro rights-of-way – that run throughout the migratory landscape and can be modified to grow milkweed and other pollinator-friendly plants.

Yards, school grounds and parks are also perfect for butterfly gardens and milkweed patches, and planting milkweed in your backyard or balcony garden is a great way to help.

Be sure to call your local garden centre or nursery to ensure they stock native milkweed plants this spring.

Linden Singers close 35th season With Strings Attached May 31 performance features Emily Carr String Quartet Victoria’s Linden Singers conclude their 35th anniversary season on May 31 with a performance of music for choir and string quartet by internationally known contemporary composers Jeff Enns, Ola Gjeilo and Tobin Stokes.

With Strings Attached, featuring the awardwinning Emily Carr String Quartet, begins at 3:30 p.m., at St. Aidan’s United Church.

The Victoria premiere of Gloria, by

Ontario composer Jeff Enns, provides a rich and dynamic opening for the spring concert. Jointly commissioned by the Linden Singers and five other choirs, Enns’ setting of the traditional Gloria text features choir, soloists and string quartet.

Norway’s Ola Gjeilo is one of the world’s most-loved and mostperformed living composers of choral music, known for luscious harmonies and rich accompaniments. The Linden

Singers look forward to presenting two short works, The Ground (from the larger Sunrise Mass) and Sacred Heart (Ubi Caritas), both featuring choir and string quartet.

Two significant works

by Victoria composer Tobin Stokes round out the concert program.

The first, entitled Feathers, was commissioned by the Emily Carr String Quartet in 2014.

The second, Tennyson Suite, has both serious and humorous moments that speak to themes of life, death, nature and war, with texts taken from various sources by Alfred Lord Tennyson. Stokes’

composition is musically diverse, with English style part writing similar to Ralph Vaughan Williams to more modern compositional techniques.

The Linden Singers is an auditioned mixed choir of approximately 50 voices has been active in the city for 35 years and has twice received the Canadian Music Festival national award for mixed choirs and has twice been a finalist in the CBC Choral competition.

Emily Carr String Quartet, formed in 2006 by members of the Victoria Symphony, has performed in the U.S., Europe and Asia,

Caretakers get help in role as ‘invisible second clients’ Family caregivers of people with dementia are often called “the invisible second clients” for good reason.

As many Victoria families have found, their roles as informal caregivers are critical to the quality of life of the person they care for, who generally require increasing levels of care.

“Without caregivers, people with dementia would have an increasingly poorer quality of life and would need residential care more quickly,” says Meriel Randerson, the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s Support & Education coordinator for Greater Victoria.

The support, though, can come at a cost: caregiver exhaustion. And that’s why the society is bringing its free Family Caregiver workshop to Victoria for five Mondays, beginning on May 25.

The evening

workshops help caregivers learn strategies to care for someone with dementia and to take care of their own health, to ensure they are prepared to continue to provide care to their family members.

Topics to be covered include: n Understanding Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. n Effective and creative ways of facilitating communication with a person with dementia. n Understanding behaviour as a form of communication. n Self-care for the caregiver. n Planning for the future.

The workshop runs May 25 through June 22 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at Hillside Seniors Health Centre, 1454 Hillside Ave. Pre-registration is required. For information and to register call 250370-5641 (press 2).

New hospital boiler will keep the heat on A $6.5 million upgrade to the Royal Jubilee Hospital boiler plant will keep the hot water hot and the air at a comfortable temperature for patients and staff for decades to come.

The Capital Regional Hospital District board approved a $1.41 million contribution towards a $4.7 million addition to the existing Royal Jubilee Hospital boiler plant.

This amount is on top of $1.8 million previously approved for other associated boiler plant infrastructure upgrades. This brings the total boiler plant capital investment at Royal Jubilee to $6.5 million, of which $2.13 million is from the CRHD. The remaining funds are expected to be approved by the Ministry of Health and Island Health shortly.

“What is ‘under the hood’ of our hospitals doesn’t often get a lot of attention,” said Joe Murphy, vice-president, operations and support services at Island Health.

“The reality is that systems like reliable and efficient boilers keep our hospitals operational and are vital in supporting the delivery of safe, high quality and comfortable care for patients.”

The current boiler plant and part of its distribution system at Royal Jubilee has been operating since the mid-1960s and has reached the end of its useful life.

Significant upgrades would be needed to prevent a potential hospital shutdown due to heating plant failure.

While Royal Jubilee has three boilers and as such would be able to continue to function if one of them went down quietly, there could be a need for hospital shutdown if more than one boiler was no longer functioning.

Work is expected to begin in the summer, with the final project completed in 2017.

I quite enjoyed the drive and although my day was filled with errands, I still managed to relax as a drove throughout the city, only to have my bubble burst as I ran into never ending construction.

Verdict: I found the new F150 to be slight improvement over the previous version with most of the improvements coming from the interior. The new body design is more of a personal preference and I think it will take me a while longer to come around. Give it a year and I’ll let you know if it was a hit or a miss.

A uniquely Indian and grand car show

By Nigel Matthews

India’s finest exhibition of vintage automobiles and motorcycles is the Cartier “Travel with Style” Concours d’Elegance.

This year it took place at the historical Jaipur Polo Club in New Delhi, located within the racecourse. Cartier has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with India and in particular the Maharajas dating back to 1911. They would entrust Cartier to design and set their precious stones into magnificent pieces of jewelry.

The opulence and elegance of India’s long-standing automotive legacy has returned to India thanks to the vision and hard work of the event creator and director, Mark Shand, a British travel writer and conservationist.

Sadly, he died in 2014 and he was dearly missed at this year’s event.

The other person responsible for the event is the renowned Indian automotive historian and expert, His Highness Rana Manvendra Singh of Barwani who hand picks some of the rarest restored and preserved vintage automobiles from across India.

The Cartier Concours, which began in 2008, has generated great excitement amongst Indian collectors. More owners are now taking an interest in maintaining and restoring their cars to the high standards required for such an international event. Having visited a restoration shop in Kolkata, I have to mention that the quality of workmanship. Given the equipment that they have, it is amazing and absolutely first

class. It is obviously driven by a great deal of passion and pride.

India has a very rich motoring heritage dating back to 1897, when a resident of Calcutta, imported the first car into India which was a De DionBouton. The following year there were four cars in Bombay. Jamshedji Tata an Indian pioneer industrialist, who founded the Tata Group, which has grown into India’s largest conglomerate company, owned one of them.

Ratan Tata, who is the great grandson of the company founder and Chairman Emeritus of Tata & Son, was at the Concours and enjoying a personal inspection of the cars on display as we performed our judging duties. Tata purchased Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford in 2008 for $2.6 billion.

I’m sure Mr. Tata enjoyed viewing the 1951 Jaguar MKV, it’s a pity there weren’t any old Series I Land Rovers present.

The Maharajas possessed an incredible purchasing power and only bought the finest products, particularly when it came to cars. A quarter of the Rolls-Royce production between 1912 and 1947 went to India.

Having lost a number of significantly important cars, the Indian Government put measures into place to protect their automotive heritage by eliminating the export of cars from India. It is also extremely difficult to import a vehicle manufactured after Jan 1st 1950 into the country without being subjected to as much as 181 percent duty.

Manvendra was very successful

in persuading some of the diffident owners to display their automobiles, in some cases, vehicles that have not been publicly viewed before.

It is unique and it is India’s closest comparison to the most famous event in the world the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. It is a comparatively young event, which focuses on India’s automotive heritage, unlike Pebble Beach. Vehicles are not shipped to India from all over the world because only vehicles from within India can enter. I hope that it remains that way because this is what makes it so special, celebrating the distinctiveness of India’s post-Independence automotive heritage. It gives people a chance to see some magnificent cars from the esteemed stables of Indian royal patrons and noted private collectors, who can be seen walking around the Polo field as others participate in the catered and afternoon high tea.

“We’re proud to make a contribution that has such a positive impact on the most fragile babies in the NICU at Victoria General Hospital,” said Atul Sachdeva, regional director for Rexall.

“Giving back to the communities we serve is a priority for the Rexall Foundation, and we know this advanced ventilator can help hundreds of babies survive and grow to be strong and healthy children.”

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. I 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 again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without #1 NPN 80042283 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.

With an eye on the “shrinking condo,” local developers Kang and Gill Construction saw a niche opportunity for The Boulevard at 4000 Shelbourne Ave. “We noticed the market was missing larger units,” said Ivica Kalabric, head of sales for The Boulevard. “There is a high demand for downsizers wanting a condo, but the condos are too small and the transition is too harsh for empty nesters, so we created sizeable suite plans to meet that demand.”

Kalabric works exclusively for Kang and Gill, and has done so for five projects. He was integrally involved with The Boulevard process from the ground up.

“Downsizers are moving from 2,000 square feet to something between 600 and 700, and it’s too hard. We found that demographic is wanting a two-bed, two-bathroom unit that averages more than 1100 sq. ft.”

The Boulevard is move-in ready, and is currently 60 per cent sold out. It features 56 units in all: 40 condos, eight condo lofts, which are two-storey with private rooftop garden decks, and eight family townhouses which have separate ground floor access. The L-shaped building faces Shelbourne with a new yet-to-be-named park (provided by the developers to Saanich) behind it.

“The building is 95-per-cent complete, we’re just doing the final touches inside and outside, exterior landscaping,” Kalabric said.

Six of the eight two-storey condos are still available from $479,000 to $499,000, and between 1,300 to 1,500 square feet, in either two bedroom and den, or three bedroom options.

They present like a stacked condo, with a main floor living area and second floor bedrooms.

There’s also three bedroom condos with two or three bathrooms.

Underground parking spots are available for each unit as well as a spacious bike storage.

Behind the building, transitioning into the new park, is a private courtyard.

All units are at least two bedroom, and the

All heating is in-floor, radiant, using geothermal radiant heat from below the building.

India’s finest exhibition of vintage automobiles and motorcycles is the Cartier “Travel with Style” Concours d’Elegance.

This year it took place at the historical Jaipur Polo Club in New Delhi, located within the racecourse.

Cartier has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with India and in particular the Maharajas dating back to 1911. They would entrust Cartier to design and set their precious stones into magnificent pieces of jewelry.

The opulence and elegance of India’s long-standing automotive legacy has returned to India thanks to the vision and hard work of the event creator and director, Mark Shand, a British travel writer and conservationist. Sadly, he died in 2014 and he was dearly missed at this year’s event.

The other person responsible for the event is the re-

nowned Indian automotive historian and expert, His Highness Rana Manvendra Singh of Barwani who hand picks some of the rarest restored and preserved vintage automobiles from across India.

The Cartier Concours, which began in 2008, has generated great excitement amongst Indian collectors. More owners are

now taking an interest in maintaining and restoring their cars to the high standards required for such an international event.

Having visited a restoration shop in Kolkata, I have to mention that the quality of workmanship. Given the equipment that they have, it is amazing and absolutely first class. It is obviously driven by a great deal of

passion and pride.

India has a very rich motoring heritage dating back to 1897, when a resident of Calcutta, imported the first car into India which was a De Dion-Bouton.

The following year there were four cars in Bombay.

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. I 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 again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without #1 NPN 80042283 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.

Great Sex Snoring?

Happiness for couples is a satisfying sex life.

“It is unique and it is India’s closest comparison to the most famous event in the world the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance”

& Son, was at the Concours and enjoying a personal inspection of the cars on display as we performed our judging duties. Tata purchased Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford in 2008 for $2.6 billion. I’m sure Mr. Tata enjoyed viewing the 1951 Jaguar MKV, it’s a pity there weren’t any old Series I Land Rovers present.

The Maharajas possessed an incredible purchasing power and only bought the finest products, particularly when it came to cars.

A quarter of the Rolls-Royce production between 1912 and 1947 went to India.

Having lost a number of significantly important cars, the Indian Government put measures into place to protect their automotive heritage by eliminating the export of cars from India. It is also extremely difficult to import a vehicle manufactured after Jan 1st 1950 into the country without being

subjected to as much as 181 percent duty.

Manvendra was very successful in persuading some of the diffident owners to display their automobiles, in some cases, vehicles that have not been publicly viewed before.

To summarize the event, it is unique and it is India’s closest comparison to the most famous event in the world the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. It is a comparatively young event, which focuses on India’s automotive heritage, unlike Pebble Beach.

Vehicles are not shipped to India from all over the world because only vehicles from within India can enter. I hope that it remains that way because this is what makes it so special, celebrating the distinctiveness of India’s post-Independence automotive heritage. It gives people a chance to see some magnificent cars from the esteemed stables of Indian royal patrons and noted Cont. on page 6
