Yuk Yuk's finds a home A day in the life of a Kendra Wong Victoria News

After much controversy, Yuk Yuk's Comedy Club has finally found a home in downtown Victoria.

Owners and Fernwood residents David Wilcox and Yona RodibouxDepue will be opening the comedy club at 751 View St., formerly the DejaVous Nightclub, above Hermann's Jazz Club.

“We're very excited. It's been a longtime coming,” Wilcox said.

For the past two years, the couple has been trying to bring the club to

Victoria.

They originally wanted to open on the ground floor of the Q apartment building (665 Douglas St.), formerly Samuel's Dining Lounge.

However, Victoria city council denied support for a primary liquor license, that would have allowed the comedy club to serve liquor from noon to 10:30 p.m., seven days a week, after several neighbours expressed concerns about potential increased traffic and noise in the evening.

The roughly four-

foot-tall lantern was created in Victoria in the 1930s by a Chinese master from Hong Kong and is the oldest known surviving lantern of its kind in Canada's Chinatowns.

The traditional arts and crafts lantern operates by the rising

heat from two light bulbs in the base where the movement of warm air causes the fan and wheel at the top to rotate.

Preserving the past an art form Continued from Page A1

Crabs' pinchers move back and forth and deers' heads tilt up and down.

When it came to the museum in 2012, the lantern was dirty, dusty and extremely fragile. Its bamboo frame was broken, papers were torn and missing and the plastic film was disintegrating.

Bengston's job as an objects conservator with the museum was to stabilize the object and stop the materials from deteriorating further.

Over the next nine months, alongside a team of five conservators and volunteers, Bengston went to work cleaning the surface with a vaccuum and dry erasers to remove dirt, mending the broken bamboo frame and tears in paper, and removing some of the panels and flattening them — all in front of the public.

“I was privileged to have been able to work on a project like that because that only comes once in your career,” Bengston said. “It meant so much to people. People had ties to it and I felt humbled to be able to hear their stories and also be able to stabilize it so that it lasts a long

This was the longest conservation treatment of a single artifact in which Bengston has participated.

It also earned her the Keck Award from the International Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works in 2014 for promoting public understanding and appreciation of conservation.

When she's not working on months-long projects, Bengston is one of two

objects conservators at the Royal B.C. Museum, working with objects made of metal, feathers, fur, bone and plastics.

Bengston first came to the museum as a textile conservation intern in 1989. and acquired a permanent position at the museum in 1991. She also completed her masters degree at Queens University in Kingston, specializing in objects.

On a daily basis, Bengs-

ton is responsible mainly for preventive conservation — work to prevent future damage to artifacts.

She makes sure objects are displayed, stored, packed and transported in optimal environments to prevent damage to the artifacts, by monitoring the relative humidity, temperature and light levels.

Bengston is also responsible for inspecting almost any object that comes into the museum to ensure

there are no insects such as carpet beetles and clothes moths that could damage artifacts.

Most artifacts on display in the museum don't require specialized micro environments. But there are artifacts on loan from other museums that require environmental monitoring, such as mummies and animals in a sarcophagus during the Egypt exhibit in 2004 where they had to keep the environment dry.

Bengston has worked on a number of high-profile objects such as an Oscar, an Emmy, Grammys, Olympic medals, a Nobel prize medal and gold coins and nuggets as part of the museum’s Gold Rush!

Exhibit. As part of her job, she has travelled to Turkey, Greece, and Jordan as a conservator on archaeological digs as well.

“I always liked working on things and fixing things as a kid,” she said. “I like working with objects, I like doing hands-on treatments where something needs to be stabilized. I like testing objects, sometimes it's like detective work to figure out what will be appropriate.

Girl Guides collecting supplies for refugee children Kendra Wong Victoria News

TO B U DA Y Y!

A group of girls is hoping to make a difference in the lives of incoming Syrian refugee children — one pencil at a time.

Fourteen girls from the Third Victoria Girl Guides unit are collecting school supplies to give to schoolaged Syrian refugee children as they begin school in the city.

The girls, between the ages of nine and 12 years old, are looking for donations of non-gender specific backpacks and school supplies such as lunch-kits, pencil boxes, markers and pencil crayons, among other things.

The Syrian refugee crisis has

made international headlines in recent months. Canada has welcomed more than 23,000 Syrian refugees since November. Since then, the capital region has seen 28 people (five families and a single person). Most recently, the Intercultural Association of Greater Victoria announced it will be welcoming 290 refugees by the end of Feburary.

Girl Guide leader Dee Hoyano said many of the girls had been hearing about the Syrian refugee crisis through the news or in their schools, and were looking for ways to help.

“I think the girls are excited about the idea of welcoming them and helping support them in school,”

Hoyano said, adding every year units try and give back to the community. “They were looking for a way to help make a difference and this was something concrete and tangible that they could get into and talk about with their friends, classmates and families.”

Their initial goal is to collect enough supplies to fill 18 backpacks — the number of girls and leaders in the unit. So far donations have been slowly trickling in, but they still need more.

“I think it's important because everyone has a right to an eduction. If they want to have an education, then they need the supplies to do it,” said 12-year-old Girl Guide Sadie Black.

SPRING BONUS WORTH OVER $39,000

Twelve-year-old Katie, who is also a Girl Guide, added it's “cool” she's able to give back to the community.

The unit has been in contact with the Intercultural Association of Greater Victoria and the Victoria Immigrant and Refugee Society Centre, that will help distribute the backpacks once they've determined which families are in need of the supplies.

Donations can be dropped off at the Grace Lutheran Church office (1273 Fort St.) on Wednesdays and Thursdays between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. For more information visit victoriarefugeebackpacks.wordpress. com. kendra.wong@vicnews.com

View Street Parkade temporarily closes The City of Victoria will begin work this weekend to enhance the frontage of the View Street Parkade to increase public safety and improve operations and aesthetics.

To accommodate construction, the parkade, located in the 700 block of View Street, will close at 5 a.m. on Saturday, March 5 and reopen Monday, March 14.

The enhancements will improve sight lines and increase public safety by creating greater separation between pedestrians and vehicles. Of the city’s five parkades, View Street is the only one without entrance/exit gates.

Red Barn slated for Esquimalt Red Barn Market will open its sixth store in the capital region next spring — this one in Esquimalt.

The new 12,000 squarefoot store (that’s locally owned) will be located on the corner of Esquimalt and Admirals roads. Red Barn recently opened a 6,000-square foot store on Oak Bay Avenue.

Inner Harbour upgrades help boost tourism Kendra Wong Victoria News

A number of local companies have been busy over the past few months completing upgrades to the Inner Harbour to help boost Victoria’s tourism economy.

Most recently, Harbour Air, in partnership with Kenmore Air, brought in its newest addition — a floating seaplane terminal. The $4-million terminal, designed by Victoria architect Sid Chow, was brought in by tug boat on Saturday, making the roughly 90-kilometre journey from Bamberton where it was constructed.

At 6,200-square-feet and a 13-foot-wide cement dock, the terminal will be used for regular service operations, sightseeing tours and as a Canadian customs checkpoint.

While there's still lots of work to be done such as electrical work, hydro and moving things from the old facility to the new one, executive vice president of the Harbour Air Group, Randy Wright said the terminal fits in well with the attractions and facilities currently in the Inner Harbour.

“With it being floating, I don't think there's anything else in the world like it. The most important thing is first and last impressions. We are a gateway coming into the community,” Wright said.

“The design that was commissioned will match up nicely

with the new bridge and what I've been hearing from politicians and the business community is that it fits in nicely . . . and offers improved sight lines.”

It is expected to be in operation April 4.

In collaboration with the City of Victoria, Harbour Air will also be constructing a public plaza, which will include bike racks, benches and green space.

Wright said it could be complete as early as next spring and will be a catalyst to start upgrades to the David Foster Harbour Pathway, which spans more than five-kilometres in length from Rock Bay to Ogden Point.

Black Ball Ferry Line's MV Coho is also back in business.

The company recently finished the construction of a new wharf at its Victoria terminal, which included building a new vehicle loading ramp and covered passenger walkway.

The upgrades were part of phase one of the three-phase Belleville Terminal revitalization program that began in October. The $17.4-million project is being cost-shared between the province, Black Ball and Clipper Navigation Ltd. Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps said the developments show there's signficiant investment in the Inner Harbour.

Comedy club brings new comedians to Victoria Continued from Page A1

According to Wilcox, the new location meets all the requirements of a Yuk Yuk's, including no pillars blocking the view of comedians and space for adequate seating. It also has a liquor license.

“It will give (residents) something new to do downtown. There's a lot of people in Victoria that don't get out as often because there's no steady source of entertainment day in and day out in Victoria,” Wilcox said. “Personally, I love to laugh.”

Yuk Yuk's has more than 160 professional comedians on its roster, many of whom could end up performing in Victoria.

They're hoping to have the grand opening on June 3.

opments I think, send a really strong signal that business is booming in Victoria,” said Helps, adding it makes it easier for residents and tourists to get on and off the Island as well.

“There are a lot of places in Canada that are struggling economically and it's really great to see our capital city booming and all this growth, development and investment downtown and in the region.” kendra.wong@vicnews.com

The new floating seaplane terminal sits in place in Victoria's Inner Harbour. The terminal, which will serve Harbour Air and Kenmore Air, was built in Bamberton and then towed to the spot in the harbour on Saturday, a journey of 14 hours.

Vitamin C is needed to produce collagen which is the glue that binds human cells together. Without strong collagen, cracks appear in the arterial wall. These cracks can set the stage for plaque formation which is a combination of cholesterol and fatty deposits that eventually block arteries. Lysine provides strength to the walls of your arteries, much like steel rods in concrete. This keeps your arteries stronger and less likely to rupture causing a stroke. Your body has 60,000 miles of veins and arteries and your heart beats 100,000 times every day sending 7,600 litres of blood through your body, so keeping your veins and arteries healthy is essential for protection against a heart attack or stroke.

Runners make emotional journey for PTSD Kendra Wong Victoria News

It takes a lot of courage for someone to open up and share their personal experience of a traumatic event that has had a longlasting affect on them — but that's exactly what Allan Kobayaski did last week.

Kobayashi was one of six runners, many of whom served in the military or navy, who relay-ran 600 kilometres from Port Hardy to Victoria in seven days as part of the Wounded Warriors Run B.C. to raise awareness of post-traumatic

stress disorder.

As part of the thirdannual event, runners stop in towns and cities on Vancouver Island, connecting with people suffering from the disorder.

According to Kobayashi, co-founder of the run who also suffers from PTSD, the number of people willing to open up, talk about, and acknowledge the disorder on the Island is growing.

“This year was this monumental, spiritual journey when you can actually see people coming and sharing such powerful stories of their own struggles with

said the emotional toll and the stories he heard from people young and old suffering from the disorder was challenging to cope with.

One of the most simultaneously heartbreaking and inspiring stories he heard came on the last day of the run, when promi-

nent community member David Saunders of Saunders Subaru shared for the first time in public that he was coping with his own traumatic event.

“It was super powerful to have someone that's so well-known amongst the community to find that selfpower and internal strength to be vulnerable and talk briefly about his trauma.

There wasn't a dry eye in the house,” Kobayashi said.

“It spoke volumes of the whole journey this year.”

Another challenging aspect — practicing what he preaches.

Along the way, dozens of people asked Kobayashi how he deals with the disorder and ways to over come it. He had to learn to open up, be vulnerable and share his experience to help others.

“That may have been the hardest part for me. Day in and day out, allowing people in as much as I was giving out,” Kobayashi said, adding he injured himself two days before the run wrapped up.

He hopes by opening up, it will encourage others talk about the disorder as well. kendra.wong@vicnews.com

A new officer has been appointed to take the reins of the VicPD’s Esquimalt and Vic West Division.

Acting Insp. Jason Laidman brings 23 years of experience to the position, and has been with Victoria police for 15 years. Prior to that, he served with the West Vancouver Police Department in a variety of roles that spanned everything from major crime to domestic violence to patrol.

Laidman is quick to emphasize that he views every day as a learning experience.

“Today’s policing is really a matter of integrating our services with other resources in the community,” said Laidman. “We have professionals out there working with a host of issues. By tapping their knowledge we have access to expertise in mental health and addictions, child and family services knowledge and even the help of probation officers.

The police take a leadership and coordination role, of course, but it’s really the team approach that makes

us more effective in the long run.”

Laidman maintained good police work and public safety are only possible when there is a strong connection with the community.

He hopes to maintain that connection through the maintenance of the school liaison and community liaison initiatives of his department.

In the short term, Laidman sees one of his biggest challenges is making himself available to meet as much of the community as possible.

Another challenge facing all police departments today is the integration of social media with the work of the police.

“It’s a very new concept for the police, but we’re using social media platforms now to get word out on emergency situations, inform the public, and generally get our message across,” said Laidman.

More than anything, Laidman said he’s approaching his new position with a keen appreciation of the pride that the people of Esquimalt feel for their community. editor@vicnews.com

Ballet features swords, sorrow and true love Ballet Victoria takes on classic Romeo and Juliet Tim Collins Victoria News

Ballet dancers are phenomenally skilled artists whose physical abilities allow them to give expression to an artistic soul, transporting audiences to realms of the imagination.

They are not, as a rule, sword fighters.

That’s why Ballet Victoria’s artistic director Paul Destrooper is taking special care as he prepares his dancers for the company’s March 8 and 9 staging of Romeo and Juliet.

The ballet features two long sword fights — the first between Mercutio (Romeo’s friend) and Tybalt (the short-tempered cousin of Juliet). When Tybalt kills Mercutio, Romeo takes his place and, in the second fight, manages to dispatch Tybalt.

It’s all very exciting, but dancing around a stage while swing-

ing long sharp objects is about as challenging (and dangerous) as it sounds. In fact, when Destrooper danced the role of Tybalt with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, he was nearly skewered on stage.

“Romeo’s sword pierced two layers of my costume and left me with a long but fairly superficial wound,” said Destrooper. “It’s important within the production to make the fights as realistic as possible, but that was a bit too close to the real thing for my liking.”

In another misstep during that same production, a sword was knocked from the hand of one of the dancers and went soaring into an unsuspecting orchestra pit.

Destrooper said he knows, to be realistic, stage fighting requires a high degree of mastery and concentration.

“It’s fast and it has to be precise but it also has to portray the passion of the characters.

There’s no room for a milquetoast in Romeo and Juliet. We’re pushing the dancers beyond

their comfort zone…that’s for sure,” he said.

But the ballet goes far beyond the fight scenes.

Drawing upon William Shakespeare’s brilliant, yet tragic tale of two star-crossed lovers, the true challenge of this ballet lies in telling the story without the brilliant poetry of the original play.

The ballet’s poetry is created, not with words, but with nuanced, intelligent choreography, flawlessly executed by the dancers. A stunning score by the great Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev elevates the ballet even further. The overall effect is transcendent.

“This is a ballet where people will experience the whole spectrum of emotion and come away feeling deeply connected to what they’ve just seen,” promised Destrooper.

This is the third performance of the season for Ballet Victoria. Tickets for the March 8 and 9 performances are available at the Royal Theatre box office or at balletvictoria.ca. editor@vicnews.com

Victoria Symphony pays tribute to king of rock ‘n’roll Get ready for a night of gospel, blues and rock ‘n' roll classics as the Victoria Symphony pays tribute to the King himself — Elvis.

OUR VIEW

Why is there still stigma attached to PTSD? Imagine running 600 kilometres in seven days. Now imagine running 600 kilometres in seven days, while speaking to members of the public about traumatic events that have had a profound impact on your life.

That is exactly what Allan Kobayahi did last week.

Kobayashi was one of six runners who relay-ran the length of Vancouver Island from Port Hardy to Victoria, as part of the third-annual Wounded Warriors Run B.C. last weekend.

During the run, participants, many of whom have served or are currently serving in the army or navy, connect with people in towns and cities who are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

Kobayashi, who co-founded the run and also suffers from PTSD, shared his story about his slow recovery, while in turn, hearing the stories of other people suffering from the disorder as well.

What was most interesting is he said more people on the Island are willing to open up and admit they have the disorder, compared to previous years.

There shouldn’t be a stigma attached to the disorder — that if you have it, you are not able to function at work or can’t take care of your family.

People living with the disorder — whether they be an emergency responders, police officers, firefighters or paramedics — are putting their lives on the line to protect civilians.

They are subject to horrible crime and war scenes and gruesome discoveries — things most people can’t even fathom.

So instead of shying away from people who admit they suffer from PTSD, we should be offering support, helping them find the necessary services and, as Kobayahi said, giving them a muchneeded hug — something so small that can make a big difference.

Readers respond: Victoria should blow its horn more often Tourism Victoria recently changed the weather and climate page of their website to show rainfall amounts for the Victoria Airport, whereas previously they had been using the amounts for Victoria proper. It seems a strange move because the airport gets about 45 per cent more precipitation than Victoria — why would you want to tell visitors that Victoria gets more rain than it actually does?

This may not seem to be that big of a deal, but I find it symptomatic of a bigger shortfall in our promotional efforts as a city. Victoria is well known for its mild winters, but there seems to be less awareness of how dry and sunny it is here, especially in the summer. One of the selling points for Victoria as a destination is that, thanks to the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains, it gets significantly less rain and more sunshine than surrounding areas of the B.C. coast and the Pacific Northwest. Victoria gets more sunshine than the Okanagan, it’s the driest location on the B.C. coast, and during the summer it’s the driest and sunniest major city in Canada. Why don’t we learn to blow our own horn a little more?

Pleased to be helping refugees So pleased with the Canadian

government and community agencies for helping these Syrian refugees. They are escaping atrocities that we cannot even fathom. Having said that, I really hope one of them opens a restaurant. I would be a loyal customer for the rest of my life and tell others to go there. Victoria needs an authentic Middle Eastern restaurant.

Tenty city should have never started I feel that tent city should have never started in the first place. These folks have taken over completely. It has turned into a shantytown over the months. Some of these folks have managed to keep their personal space neat and tidy. Many more have not. I guess that the best thing to do is offer them shelter space and other housing options.

Many people have arrived from other parts of Canada and the U.S. The taxpayer can only take so much overall.

I think the homeless should brainstorm realistic ideas here. It will not be an easy summer on the lawns behind the courthouse.

Standing up to bullies The recent Pink Shirt Day caused me

to reflect on the occasions in my own lifetime where I felt bullied. I concluded that the worst bullying I have ever experienced was not by any thug in a schoolyard; it was by our present government towards me as someone with a disability. A government that is supposed to protect my interests subjected me to a deliberately meanspirited campaign of threats and intimidation. And they were more than willing to put me on the street with nothing.

A while back I received an alarming anonymous phone call from the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation telling me if I did not apply for early Canada Pension Plan benefits my disability benefits would be affected.

Then I received three letters, each one more aggressive than the last, threatening to terminate my disability income if I did not comply. Since the ministry would claw back my CPP payments and I would be penalized for life with a reduced CPP pension, I resisted. But I learned that it is not possible to reason with a bully: all my phone calls were ignored, my letters dismissed. The ministry withheld my cheque. I needed to eat, so I signed.

In subjecting me to terror tactics and coercion, our Liberal government acted like a typical backyard bully.

So before Christy Clark and Michelle Stilwell don pink shirts again, maybe they should commit to start practicing what they preach.

Some fraud is organized and orchestrated by a group of individuals, namely, staged accidents and stolen vehicle rings.

Fraudulent claims take a toll on B.C. drivers

While most B.C. drivers are honest when it comes to making insurance claims, there are a few that are hurting things for the rest of us in the province.

Industry studies estimate that about 10 to 20 per cent of all insurance claims contain an element of fraud or exaggeration. Applying those estimates here means fraud is costing us up to $600 million per year, or more than $100 annually on every auto insurance policy.

Fraud cheats everyone and comes in all shapes and sizes.

To learn more about auto insurance fraud, go to icbc.com/fraud

Other types of fraud are less obvious.

Fraud like this includes exaggerating the extent of an injury, misrepresenting a previous medical condition or slanting the situation when reporting a claim. It’s not unheard of for people to embellish their claim by including vehicle damage unrelated to the crash, or to claim they can’t work when they’re actually back on the job. These tactics may not make the news, but the costs add up and come out of all of our pockets – we all end up paying for those who cheat the system.

ICBC combats fraud with their Special Investigation Unit, which last year looked at more than 5,000 claims les. This includes a cyber unit that employs information publicly available on the internet and social media to investigate suspected fraudulent claims.

They’re in the process of increasing their focus on investigations, including training and analytics technology that ags patterns and predictors of fraud.

By stepping up efforts to reduce fraudulent and exaggerated claims, along with managing injury claims costs, ICBC is working to take pressure off rising insurance rates.

Fraud. It cheats us all.

Chefs share cooking skills with Vic High students Program teaches students about nutrition Tim Collins Victoria News

Vic High student Zak Chaudhry and chef Cosmo Meens create a dish at the high school as part of the school’s lunch program.

When Vic High lifeskills teacher Asha Rao first approached the Harbourside Rotary Club for a grant to help students expand the breakfast program at her school,

CONGRATULATIONS!

share his knowledge of food selection, nutrition, and menu selection and preparation.

“Chef Means is only the first of the chefs that we expect to bring into the program,” said Gudgeon, adding other chefs have already expressed interest and it’s hoped they’ll join the program to help guide the students who have an interest in the food industry.

“With more chefs coming on we can expose the students to a variety of styles and approaches, and let them gain the knowledge of some of the best professionals in the field.”

Although the program is starting out with the goal of preparing one meal a month for 250 students at Vic High, Gudgeon said with the growing level of support, she can see the program expanding to a weekly effort in the near future.

While the first lessons involve the preparation of soup, Gudgeon hopes it will expand to other menu items such as locally sourced salads and entrees.

“We want to partner with local farmers and food producers and even explore urban gardening as a potential source of products for our program,” she said. editor@vicnews.com

she had no idea how quickly the idea would catch on.

“This isn’t the classical school lunch program,” said Randi Falls, Vic High’s principal.

The program isn’t a nutritional necessity for students, but rather an opportunity for them to learn valuable lessons in nutrition, food security and food preparation.

“Vic High has a lifeskills program that teaches students the basics of food preparation as well as programs that are designed to pave the way to careers in the food industry,” said Falls. “The partners in this (lunch) program are enhancing those courses in a way that wouldn’t otherwise have been possible.”

The level of community support has surprised both Falls and Shellie Gudgeon, the Rotary Club representative working on the program. Shortly after reaching out to the community, Vic High was offered assistance

by Sysco Victoria (for supplies) Fairway Markets and Fol Epi Bakery.

Most importantly, the program has the hands-on support of chef Cosmo Means, the culinary master behind the Hot and Cold Café. Means will be in the school kitchen where he will both teach students cooking skills and

VICTORIA NEWS -Friday, March 4, 2016

All-New electric Chevrolet Volt is auto show prize The future is electric when it comes to how our personal vehicles are powered.

The transition from gasoline engines will not be complete for perhaps decades but early examples of electrical propulsion, be they pure electric, gasoline hybrids or plug-in hybrids, clearly indicate this positive direction is no longer a pipe dream of futurists.

Last year, we gave away an all-electric Nissan LEAF in our Vancouver International Auto Show contest and it attracted a record-breaking 34,558 entries. This year, we are pleased to announce that we are giving you the chance to win the keys to an electric Chevrolet Volt provided by your BC Chevrolet Dealers. (see it at this year’s show at Vancouver Convention Centre West, Wednesday, March 23 to Sunday, March 27).

The all-new 2016 Volt with extended range, offers around 76 kilometres of pure electric driving on a full charge. Once you exceed that range, the onboard gas-powered generator fires up quietly and ensures the battery tops up to keep the dual electric motors running.

It offers the best of both worlds and removes the ‘range anxiety’ associated with an electric vehicle that must be hooked up for a recharge once it reaches its limit. Once the generator kicks in (range extender in manufacturer-speak), on a full tank of regular gas, you could drive up to another 600 kilometres. Yours truly spent a week driving the new Volt, which is a darn sight prettier and sleeker than the first generation.

And now the all-new interior provides seating for five, which makes it far more appealing for families looking for an

eco-friendly sedan.

Big improvements to the instrument panel and controls. The Volt retains its dual digital colour displays with an eight-inch-diagonal reconfigurable screen. An additional eight-inch-diagonal touch screen in the centre of the instrument panel controls the Chevrolet MyLink system.

You are constantly aware of how much juice you are using. Green cars always challenge drivers to compete with themselves to get the most out of the vehicle in fuel efficiency. For instance, when I picked up the car the screen showed there was around 66-kilometres of electric range. A 10-minute freeway trip and almost 100 klicks and I was at 61-km range. Do the math! It’s magic!

By the way, reaching 100 km/h reportedly takes just 8.4 seconds. I say reportedly because I didn’t have a stop watch. What I love about electric power is the Formula 1 start you can make at the lights if you are feeling naughty.

Zero to 50 in just 2.6 secs.

Yep, a family sedan that leaves the rest in its dust!

Not that I’m encouraging such behavior, just saying.

I charged overnight on a regular domestic garage power point. By morning it was at maximum range.

The Volt offers new standard and available safety features including a standard rear-vision camera, 10 standard air bags, including driver and front-passenger knee air bags. Also available as options are such active safety features as ‘lane keep’ assist with lane departure warning, side blind zone alert with lane change alert, rear cross traffic alert, forward collision alert with following distance indicator, front automatic braking, and advanced park assist with

front and rear park assist (semi-automatic parallel parking).

Pricing before government incentive rebates starts at $38,390. In B.C., with the full rebate, that drops to $33,390.

Take one for a very quiet spin and then enter to win! keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

A local rugby player is making history this weekend.

Phil Mack, a former player with the James Bay Athletic Association, is the first Canadian to compete in his 50th World Rugby Sevens Series tournament in Las Vegas this weekend.

“It's definitely pretty special,” said Mack, while on his way to the tournament. “It's a big milestone and I'm pretty proud of the achievement.”

Mack, who plays scrum half, made his sevens series debut in Hong Kong more than a decade ago in 2005.

Since then, he has registered 956 career points and hopes to become the 13th player in series history to score more than 1,000 points.

Team Canada head coach Liam Middleton said Mack has built up the perfect combination of talent and knowledge of the sport to be successful on the field.

“The world series is an incredibly competitive competition. It's hard on the body, it's very physically and mentally demanding and demanding of the very best talents that you have,” Middleton said.

“For Phil to have played in 50 tournaments is a testimony to his physical, mental and technical talent.”

The 30-year-old began his rugby career 15 years ago at Oak Bay High School. He credits his school coaches with instilling a life-long passion for the sport.

“We had a pretty passionate high school coach that ran a pretty successful program at the school. It was one of the sports that was leading the way at the school so it was an easy decision,” Mack said, adding he also played soccer at the time.

It wasn't until after

Phil Mack, a former player with the James Bay Athletic Association, will be competing in the HSBC World Rugby Sevens series tournament in Las Vegas from March 4 to 6. again.

“The unique thing about sevens is that there's a lot of travel.

You get to go to various countries around the world and you get to do that alongside some of your best friends and comparing

high school that Mack decided to take on rugby full-time. He joined the James Bay Athletic Association's men's team and after several successful seasons, joined the Team Canada sevens team in 2006.

“For Phil to have played in 50 tournaments is a testimony to his physical, mental and technical talent.”

— Liam Middleton

But his career hasn't been without challenges.

In both 2010 and 2013, Mack was sidelined for more than half a year after having knee surgeries for a torn ACL. But he persevered, training hard and was eager to hit the field

where you measure up against some of the best in the world,” Mack said.

Team Canada is heading into the tournament sitting 12th in season standings.

The team is coming off a season-best performance in Australia where they claimed

the Bowl title after defeating Wales, Scotland and Samoa.

Heading into the sevens series, Mack hopes to remain focused on the tournament at hand to set his team up for success in the inaugural Canada Sevens at B.C. Place in Vancouver from March 12 to 13.

Victoria's Mike Fuailefau and Sean White were also named to Team Canada's roster to compete in the series.

The HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series tournament takes place in Las Vegas from March 4 to 6.

Team Canada will take on hosts USA, South Africa and Wales in their pool. kendra.wong@vicnews.com

Design inspiration helps when buying or selling Designer can offer fresh perspective Jennifer Blyth Black Press

Janice Long, owner and principal designer of Calla Design in the Estevan Village, wanted to bring Oak Bay a new concept in interior design — good news for those looking to get their home ready to sell or move into a new space.

Long brings 35 years as a designer to the inviting shop, which she founded with three ideas in mind: to provide full interior design services, a retail store filled with timeless, beautiful furniture and accessories, and services for homeowners and homebuyers.

In store, Calla offers a variety of inspiring ideas — the purplepainted room in the rear of the store captures much attention — plus Whittington and Co. Canadianmade furniture and a large collection of Martha Sturdy accessories.

Local artists displayed include Ron Wilson, Brian Simons, Sandra Froher and Erin Vanessa, plus jewellery

by Sue Pipes, while exclusive lines include Antica Farmacista diffusers and Lafco soaps.

Design services allow residents to pick and choose what they want to do, based on factors such as budget, their schedule, and how much they want to be involved.

For those in the market to sell their home, for example, Long can offer concrete ideas about which projects will generate the most return.

“I can go through a house in about oneand-a-half hours and give them ideas that will add value to the house for the purchaser...anything to

make it look more current without spending a lot of money,” Long said.

Other times, a fresh set of eyes can pick up issues a homeowner, or even a realtor, may not see, “I see houses in a different way probably than a realtor does,” Long said.

In the same vein, with a purchase as potentially overwhelming as a new home.

“I can help buyers see the possibilities in a house. It gives the homeowner someone to rely on. Sometimes they’re standing in the perfect house, but they can’t see it,” she said.

While homebuyers may be looking for a house that suits their

immediate needs, it also helps to consider how the house will serve them in the future, whether that means growing children or downsizing.

“I like houses with rooms that can be used for multiple purposes,” Long said.

Other design services that can make a big difference, especially for those moving from out of town or with little time, include furniture floorplans to help determine what will work where, and liaising with movers, or contractors in the case of a renovation.

When a renovation is in the plans, Long likes to begin with a walk-through and wishlist, from which

designer and homeowner can settle on a budget and timeline; sometimes that means tackling projects in stages, which is perfectly fine, too. Designers also have access to savings from retailers and suppliers that an individual homeowner won’t receive.

While some think working with a designer is only possible on large projects or big spaces, that’s not the case, Long said.

Regardless of the square-footage, “you deserve to have an environment that you feel comfortable in.”

Kitchens and bathrooms continue to dominate renovation wishlists, while indooroutdoor living remains

“I can help buyers see the possibilities in a house. It gives the homeowner someone to rely on. Sometimes they’re standing in the perfect house, but they can’t see it.”

— Janice Long

popular for those with the space.

For those on a budget, big changes can also come from smaller-scale projects, like paint and fabric, whether new drapes and pillows or recovering a favourite piece of furniture, Long said.

“If you have a

piece you really love, recover it, don’t buy new.”

For the same reason, Long encourages clients to invest in quality pieces that will stand the test of time, and not need to be replaced after a short time. editor@vicnews.com
