City funds hazmat team, but no Victoria firefighters on specialized unit Unit would welcome members: CRD Erin McCracken News staff
The only full-time fire department in the region whose members have not joined the Capital Regional District’s hazardous materials response team may consider joining the specialty unit next year. “We are working towards it,” said Jeff Lambert, who took over as chief of the Victoria Fire Department last summer. “There are a lot of other things our department, like every other department, manage and wrestle with (to meet) the expectations of our citizens. To do everything for everybody is hard sometimes.” The region’s 13 municipalities and three electoral areas financially contribute to the CRD Hazmat Response Unit’s operating budget, which for 2012 is $290,000. This year Victoria taxpayers are chipping in $65,454. In 2011, they contributed $64,004. The team would welcome Don Denton/News staff Victoria firefighters, said TraA firefighter emerges from the vis Whiting, who oversees the Ritz Hotel on Fort Street during a hazmat service as the CRD’s hazardous materials incident on senior manager of protective Monday. See page A6 for more. services. At present, he is confident the unit is able to respond to incidents throughout the region. “I don’t think the program lacks for anything in regards to that,” Whiting said, noting that team members still work with Victoria firefighters. “Just like every municipality (in the region) we practise, we train in their municipalities, and we respond anywhere that the call comes within the region.” Before Lambert decides to supply firefighters to the unit, the potential cost implications of doing so must be considered, he said. If the department is operating with minimum staffing when a hazmat call comes in from another municipality, off-duty Victoria firefighters may need to be called in, the fire chief said. “We’d have to have benchmarks in there, a process that says if we’re below a certain staffing level we can’t send people off a shift.” PLEASE SEE: Budget affects fire decision, Page A6

Tax break irks neighbours City will subsidize Glenlyon’s sports fields to the tune of $55,600 this year Roszan Holmen News staff
Bill Sudds has no issue with his neighbour, Glenlyon Norfolk School. He isn’t bothered by the school’s operations, half a block from his house on Somenos Street in the Gonzales neighbourhood. Nor does he object to its high fees or its independent school mandate. He just doesn’t want his property tax dollars subsidizing it.
“Why should I, and people like me, why should we subsidize the wealthy?” he asked. This year the City of Victoria will review its permissive tax exemption policy, which essentially covers not-for-profit organizations. The review seeks to establish eligibility criteria, and some people – Sudds included – hope Glenlyon gets removed from the list. As an independent school in B.C., Glenlyon charges tuition and and receives a per-student operating grant. The province also requires municipalities to waive property taxes on school buildings and the land they sit on. That statutory exemption will save Glenlyon approximately
Excalibur y Dehydrator
BlendTec Total Blender GreenStar Juicer
$128,390 in property taxes for 2012. Municipalities can also choose to waive property taxes on the rest of the school property. Victoria voluntarily exempts Glenlyon’s fields, a break worth an estimated $55,654 this year. The exemptions bother Sudds. “When I look at my property taxes … they’ve been rising quite substantially,” he said. Glenlyon earns revenue, and like every business and every household, it should pay tax, he said. Coun. Ben Isitt agrees. “Glenlyon clearly has the ability to pay the tax bill,” he said.

umberjacks, maple syrup, beaver tails and mounted police. Most of us are aware of the stereotypes associated with being Canadian. But how do new citizens perceive their Canadian identities? In an afternoon of round table talks with existing Canadians and community leaders April 26 at Pearkes recreation centre, 50 new citizens discussed active citizenship and shared their experiences. The talks were aimed at discovering how to connect with new citizens in the community and create an opportunity for newcomers to learn from established New Canadians. citizens Dimitri de (2011) Morea, a clinical ■ Canada: counsellor from 181,251 France who ■ Greater attended with Victoria: his wife, felt it 824 necessary to become a “fullfledged member of society,” after moving to Canada, he said. “(Being Canadian) means respecting the law, traditions and values of Canada and representing them as well as I can and contributing to further ameliorate or enhance our society,” de Morea said.

It’s very inspiring.” After enduring an often lengthy journey fraught with paperwork prior to the ceremony, new citizens often feel a sense of relief after the event, Osborn added. De Morea donned a furry black bear hat, bow tie and
Canadian flags as a means of “putting a little spirit” into what he considered a very happy event, though he admitted his move here did come at a cost. “The most difficult thing as an immigrant is the fact you don’t know anyone when you arrive,” he said. “You lose all of your family and social relations and your culture from where you were from. That was the hardest for me: rebuilding the social and cultural connections.”

De Morea’s wife, Rebecca Pearson, was born in the United States but now has dual citizenship and also took part in last week’s ceremony. The eighth incarnation of the event, hosted by the non-profit group, Institute for Canadian Citizenship, culminated in a swearing-in ceremony overseen by Citizenship and Immigration Canada. The ICC was founded and is co-chaired by the Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson
and John Ralston Saul. The committee’s mandate is to ensure the annual 160,000 new Canadians are welcomed every year and included as equals. That goal is realized through three core programs, including the Cultural Access Pass. It allows new citizens a chance to visit cultural attractions for free for a year after swearing in ceremonies.

The waterfront land adjacent to the Johnson Street Bridge is a source of discussion between the City of Victoria and Ralmax. Don Denton/News staff
Point Hope owner seeks certainty Roszan Holmen News staff
When it comes to marine industrial properties, the City of Victoria makes a good regulator, but is not suited to being a landlord, says Ian Maxwell, president and CEO of Ralmax Group of Companies. “They don’t have the ability to accept any risk as a landlord,” he said. “That’s why the properties don’t get the investment they would if they were privately owned.” It’s for this reason he proposed buying the land he currently leases from the city along Harbour Road in Vic West. As Maxwell moves forward with a $60-million expansion, he’s looking for greater certainty and control over his investment. For instance, if he discovers contaminated soil during construction, the landlord would be on the hook for any environmental remediation, he said. If the city doesn’t have the money, the project could stall, he said. “By purchasing the land … we can manage the risk.” It’s been nine years since Maxwell bought the bankrupt Point Hope Shipyards and signed a lease for the city’s three lots that expires in 2045. He has since grown it into a business employing 175 people. His goal is to double that num-
ber, but moving forward first requires a resolution with the city over one final piece of property: 203 Harbour Rd., adjacent to the Johnson Street Bridge. In February 2012, Maxwell exercised an option to lease the lot from the city after several years of negotiations and one year of planning at a cost of $1 million. Existing tenants on the lot began relocating last year as their leases expired: Carmanah Technologies moved to Bay Street in September, and the Sail and Life Training Society plans to move out this summer. Maxwell’s expansion plans, however, have hit a bump. As the city refined its plans to replace the Johnson Street bridge, it realized it needed some of the land included in the lease option during the bridge’s construction. The discovery reopened the discussions over property boundaries. The city needs more land to build a proper slope, said Dwayne Kalynchuk, Victoria’s director of engineering. Contaminated soil found during construction is another factor. To save money, the city needs to store contaminated soil onsite rather than haul it away for remediation. The city is now working to see how it can lessen its encroachment into Lot 203 through measures such as retaining walls. “We should have the answer to that in probably the next week or two,” Kalynchuk said. Maxwell hasn’t agreed to all of the requested boundary
adjustments, but is determined to work co-operatively with the city to find solutions. “Ralmax agreed to back off because the complexities of two major projects going on at the same time … almost guaranteed to create construction conflict,” Maxwell said. The changes required him to rejig his plans. A building planned for the southern lot may now end up on the north end of the property or be relocated offsite. Extensions to the graving docks are on hold for now. “We’re going to wait till they finish building the bridge and then we’ll relook at it,” he said. Last week city council agreed to consider Maxwell’s offer to purchase the land. “I am in favour of entertaining an offer,” said Coun. Lisa Helps, liaison for the Vic West neighbourhood. “The city has spent an amazing amount of time, and therefore money, being a landlord to Point Hope.” It’s an important industry to support, she said. “We want family-sustaining jobs and we want and need key stakeholders in the local economy that have assurance of long-term stability.” Maxwell plans to continue with his expansion regardless of council’s acceptance of his offer to purchase the property. “This isn’t a take it or leave it kind of thing,” he said. “This is (about finding a way to avoid) nine more years of negotiating on whether or not we can build this or that.” rholmen@vicnews.com

The former tenant of a downtown Victoria hotel, where a non-hazardous cocktail of liquid chemicals was left in a suite on Monday, won’t face criminal charges, says Victoria’s fire chief. Though it’s not clear what chemicals were poured into the sink of a room on the third floor of the Ritz Hotel, Victoria Fire Chief Jeff Lambert said, “It’s just bizarre, some of the stuff. We ran all our tests on it and everything came back negative.” The manager of the hotel, at 710 Fort St., went in around 10 a.m. to clean the room, which had been vacated by the evicted tenant. While attempting to wipe up the chemical brew, the man’s nose and throat became irritated. Victoria firefighters responded to the scene around 1:45 p.m., then called in the Capital Regional District Hazardous Materials Response Unit. When police officers questioned the former tenant about

There could also be budget implications if his team works overtime to train with the regional unit. There are six training sessions a year. “It’s just that everything comes with a price, and it’s usually time. It’s reality for us,” Lambert said. “We’re getting to the point with call volume that it’s really hard to train on shift, so for us, any training has to be done off-shift. It’s a huge ticket.” There are other items the chief wants to check off his to-do list before he makes a decision. Negotiations on a new collective agreement for firefighters begin later this year. “That plays a part of it,” Lambert said. Still, additional training and expertise gained from being part of the regional hazmat team would “build intrinsic value in our department,” he said. “It’s such a good service. It brings fire departments together from across the region.” emccracken@ vicnews.com

Field rental revenue covers costs: GNS head Around 1999, Glenlyon Norfolk School bought three adjacent residential lots in order to build an artificial turf field. The move sparked some community opposition at the time. “That basically takes residential properties out of the tax base,” said Martin Robbert, who lives two blocks from the school. “Victoria has a relatively small tax base as it is.” Another sticking point with some neighbours is that Glenlyon charges a rental fee for use of its field. It earns approximately $7,000 a year, mainly from the Bays United soccer club. The school is in the process of building a new theatre and plans to charge for the use of that facility as well. The fees are meant to cover costs associated with the rental, said Simon Bruce-Lockhart, head of school for Glenlyon. “You’re not really doing it to make a profit.” rholmen@vicnews.com

Pay parking for evenings, Sundays up for discussion Council seeks added revenues Roszan Holmen News staff
Victorians may hold dear their ability to park downtown for free on Sundays and evenings, but nothing is untouchable in an age of austerity. “We can’t afford to have sacred cows,” said Coun. Marianne Alto. The item came up recently during a discussion about finding new revenue sources for the city. As the city undergoes a review of its parking services this year, rates and times will be on the table. “We need to look everywhere for potential revenue,” Alto said. It may turn out to be a bad idea, but “we have to have the conversation,” she added. This week, Coun. Shellie Gudgeon led a discussion with the downtown business community, which has consistently resisted reducing the times for free parking. “I’m trying to work collaboratively to come up with solutions, because parking is broken in Victoria,” said Gudgeon, who owns a restaurant downtown. “Parking shouldn’t be a revenue source.” On Sunday, parking stalls are being used up by employ-
ees, she said. “There’s no movement.” While she hasn’t ruled out paid parking on this day as a solution, on the whole, she hopes to reduce parking costs. She also wants to look at ways to encourage people to use city parkades, for which revenues were down in 2011 by $500,000. “We want to stimulate business downtown and I don’t think the existing system is doing that,” Gudgeon said. rholmen@vicnews.com
By the numbers ■ A review of revenue sources for the City of Victoria found the city is more dependent on property taxes than most. Approximately 58 per cent of Victoria’s revenue comes from property taxes, compared to an average of 46 per cent for all other muncipalities in B.C. However, user fees in Victoria are slightly higher than provincial average, at about 32 per cent of total revenue. Where Victoria falls behind is in developer contributions, and transfers from other governments.
Toddler, cocaine found in back seat of suspect’s car Police make arrests after months-long investigation Erin McCracken News staff
The parents of a toddler found sitting in the back seat of a car beside a large amount of cocaine were arrested by Victoria police Sunday. The arrest comes on the heels of a police investigation that began in December. The suspects were allegedly bringing large amounts of cocaine to Victoria from the mainland on a regular basis. Victoria police Const. Mike Russell
said investigators believe the drugs were being sold to dealers. Officers with the department’s Strike Force Unit, which has been leading the investigation, followed an Acura sedan from the Swartz Bay ferry terminal to Victoria on Sunday. The vehicle was pulled over on Blanshard Street near Nanaimo Street. Police arrested a 35-year-old man and his 39-yearold wife, seized 10 ounces of cocaine from the backseat of the car and arranged alternative care for the couple’s child. The arrests were a coup for police, Russell said, not only because “they’re high-level drug dealers, but especially for the fact that they
have blatant disregard for their kid’s safety.” A later search of the couple’s apartment in the 700-block of Humboldt St. turned up more cocaine and crack cocaine. The
seized drugs have a combined street value of $16,000. The husband and wife are facing charges of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of
trafficking. The man is scheduled to appear in court on July 12, and the woman will be summoned to court at a later date. emccracken@ vicnews.com

OUR VIEW
Civil forfeiture muddies message A message needs to be sent that it is not OK to drive so dangerously that you create a very real risk to the lives of innocent people. And it’s morally indefensible to celebrate such an act of stupidity by posting a video of it to the Internet. But the punishment must fit the crime. We can all agree that the motorcyclist who on April 6 video-recorded himself or herself travelling at speeds of 300 km/h down a busy highway showed the judgement of a moron. However, no matter how emphatic that point needs to be made, confiscating the bike and selling it to raise revenue for the government is the wrong thing to do in this case. Unable to arrest the young man suspected of riding the bike in the video, the police have turned to the Civil Forfeiture Act to try and punish the perpetrator and, perhaps, turn the incident into a teachable moment. Don’t try this at home or we’ll take your wheels – a similar campaign has been waged against the dangers of street racing in recent years. The difference is that the public has not heard enough evidence to merit having the police take away the personal property of an Esquimalt mom (her son is believed to be the rider in the video). Police have every right to seize the bike in case it can be used to actually press charges. Dangerous driving is a serious offence punishable by jail time. If that can’t be proved unless the rider confesses, we understand why police would want to send a message that you can’t commit such a high-profile crime and get away scot-free. But rather than attempting civil forfeiture, which is more justly applied to the proceeds of criminal activity, the police could better serve their public by ensuring this rider, and other potential daredevils, learn about the very real consequences of very bad decisions. Driving at speeds shown in the video create a probability of massive injuries and possibly death to the rider, as well the dozens of innocent people sharing the road. That is the message that must be imparted. After all, the goal is to keep young drivers from taking exceptional risks not merely to keep them from posting to YouTube after they do. What do you think?

Heroism resonates with Hansen hero – 1. a person distinguished by courage, noble deeds, outstanding accomplishments, etc. (i.e. Terry Fox became a national hero) - source, Canadian Oxford dictionary
Truth is, we have many types of hero in our society, and they serve a valuable purpose, each for different reasons. The dictionary definition allows for a fairly broad interpretation. It seems for most The term hero is often people, the question thrown around loosely. of respect is a key We refer to athletes determining factor when who score a winning goal considering a person’s or otherwise lead their hero status, whether team to a championship that occurs long after as heroes, even though their deeds are done Don Descoteau in the grander sense of or while they are still Humble Pie the word, to make such a actively involved in their claim is nonsense. chosen field.

Hansen was in Greater Victoria this week, as part of his Rick Hansen Relay cross-Canada tour. While some of the folks who received his special Difference Maker awards in Victoria, Esquimalt and Oak Bay weren’t born at the time of the original Man in Motion, all were no doubt thrilled to be recognized by someone whose light shines in the same way Terry Fox’s did three decades ago. Hansen, never known to turn down an interview or an opportunity to give an autograph to someone who he thinks it might make a difference for, is the ultimate diplomat for what it means to be Canadian, and what it means to overcome a potentially devastating disability. He understands, at 54, that his role has changed from those days when his ripped upper body pounded through kilometre after kilometre. As a man who exudes grace and class as he extends his hands to help, he is definitely a good example of a true Canadian hero. Don Descoteau is the editor of the Victoria News. editor@vicnews.com

OPINION
The fundamental failure of environmentalism Environmentalism has failed. Over the past 50 years, environmentalists have succeeded in raising awareness, changing logging practices, stopping megadams and offshore drilling, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. But we were so focused on battling opponents and seeking David public support that we failed to realize these battles reflect fundamentally different ways of seeing our place in the world. And it is our deep underlying worldview that determines the way we treat our surroundings. We have not, as a species, come to grips with the explosive events that have changed our relationship with the planet. For most of human existence, we lived as nomadic huntergatherers whose impact on nature could be absorbed by the resilience of the biosphere. Even after the agricultural revolution 10,000 years ago, farming continued to dominate our lives. We cared for nature. People who
live close to the land understand that seasons, climate, weather, pollinating insects and plants are critical to our well-being. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the birth of the environmental movement. In 1962, Rachel Carson published Silent Spring, which Suzuki documented the terrible, unanticipated consequences of what had, until then, been considered one of science’s great inventions, DDT. Paul Mueller, who demonstrated the effects of the pesticide, was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1948. In the economic boom after the Second World War, technology held out the promise of unending innovation, progress, and prosperity. Carson pointed out that technology has costs. Carson’s book appeared when no government had an environment department or ministry. Millions around the world were soon swept up in what we now recognize as the
environmental movement. Within 10 years, the United Nations Environment Program was created and the first global environmental conference was held in Stockholm, Sweden. With increasing catastrophes like oil and chemical spills and nuclear accidents, as well as issues such as species extinction, ozone depletion, deforestation, acid rain and global warming, environmentalists pressed for laws to protect air, water, farmland, and endangered species. Millions of hectares of land were protected as parks and reserves around the world. Thirty years later, in 1992, the largest gathering of heads of state in history met at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The event was meant to signal that economic activity could not proceed without considering ecological consequences. But, aided by recessions, popped financial bubbles, and tens of millions of dollars from corporations and wealthy neoconservatives to support a cacophony of denial from rightwing pundits and think tanks, environmental
LETTERS Urban planning examples mean little to Greater Victoria Re: Better job needed in promoting transit, urban densification (Letters, April 20) This letter states that encouraging mass transit and urban densification will reduce government costs for service provision. Hong Kong and Singapore are quoted as examples where total transportation costs are relatively low as a proportion of gross domestic product. Are these urban development principles and examples relevant to Greater Victoria? Our designated metropolitan area, which excludes the Gulf Islands and most of the large rural areas west of Sooke, has a geographical area of 697 square kilometres and a population of about 350,000. Singapore, at 710 sq. km, is almost the same geographical area as us, but has a population of 5.2 million – 15 times higher. Hong Kong, at 1,104 sq. km is about 50-per-cent larger than Greater Victoria, but has a population of seven million – 20 times higher. The generalized and simplistic views expressed in the letter from Avi Ickovich are not helpful in determining effective transportation plans for our region. It would be valuable to find out if the high-density Uptown development in Saanich has increased regional travel by attracting longer trips from a wider catchment area, as an alternative to short local shopping trips. What improvement has there been in transit usage? Regional travel patterns are complex. Chasing higher density may not be the best answer. David Langley Saanich
Delay to withdraw HST producing questionable tax revenue The citizens of British Columbia voted and
ultimately rejected the harmonized sales tax on Aug. 26, 2011. The provincial Liberal government, under our former premier, failed miserably in introducing this new tax, thus creating much animosity in the eyes of the majority of taxpayers. Since the Liberals have promised to rescind this tax in accordance with the wishes of the citizens of B.C., don’t you think we deserve to receive periodic reports from our government as to the status of the withdrawal of this tax. What’s taking so long and why do we have to wait until May 2013 to get results? Meanwhile, the provincial coffers are being replenished with questionable tax revenue which has been rejected by the majority of our citizens. As a retired fixed-income senior, I am beginning to resent having to patiently sit back and wait for another Liberal promise to materialize. Martin L. Battle Victoria

protection came to be portrayed as an impediment to economic expansion. This emphasis of economy over environment, and indeed, the separation of the two, comes as humanity is undergoing dramatic changes. During the 20th century, our numbers increased fourfold to six billion (now up to seven billion), we moved from rural areas to cities, developed virtually all of the technology we take for granted today, and our consumptive appetite, fed by a global economy, exploded. We have become a new force that is altering the physical, chemical and biological properties of the planet on a geological scale. In creating dedicated departments, we made the environment another special interest, like education, health, and agriculture. The environment subsumes every aspect of our activities, but we failed to make the point that our lives, health, and livelihoods absolutely depend on the biosphere – air, water, soil, sunlight, and biodiversity. Without them, we sicken and die.
This perspective is reflected in spiritual practices that understand that everything is interconnected, as well as traditional societies that revere “Mother Earth” as the source of all that matters in life. When we believe the entire world is filled with unlimited “resources” provided for our use, we act accordingly. This anthropocentric view envisions the world revolving around us. So we create departments of forests, fisheries and oceans and environment, whose ministers are less concerned with the health and well-being of forests, fish, oceans, or the environment than with resources and the economies that depend on them. It’s almost a cliché to refer to a paradigm shift, but that is what we need to meet the challenge of the environmental crises our species has created. That means adopting a biocentric view that recognizes we are part of and dependent on the web of life that keeps the planet habitable for a demanding animal like us.

The downtown show also provides the opportunity for tenants to see their work in a public space, said Kristy Colpron, spokesperson and event co-ordinator with Pacifica. “They can go down at any time and be inconspicuous and view their art on the wall,” Colpron said. The show exemplifies how Pacifica is striving to connect tenants with the community at large, Colpron added, noting the organization’s desire to partner with community groups for other programming opportunities, such as culinary education. “People like to get involved and it doesn’t always have to be on a donations level,” she said. Works from 14 artists, ranging in price from $20 to $400, will be on display throughout the month of May at Island Blue Art Store, 905 Fort St., The opening exhibition runs from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., May 10.

Maarten Schaddelee’s Wings of Light, an alabaster bowl carved into delicate eagle wings that allow light to come through in much the same way light is visible through eagle feathers made of B.C. alabaster.
Maarten Schaddelee will be showcasing new work and a new direction for his work in the annual Maarten Schaddelee Spring Fine Art Show May 5 and 6. A selection of the new work is created from ancient materials including marble and 800 year old cedar. Many of the pieces express the spirit of the wildlife that lives on the land and in the ocean near the Maarnada studio, says Schaddelee. “We’re surrounded by eagles right now. They are flying overhead, spending time in our yard and exploring the beach,” he says. “In sculpting them I've been stretching them out to emphasize their movement and grace. They don't look like eagles in photographs; it’s more an expression of their spirit in flight.” Schaddelee's signature whale tails have also evolved, stretching to emphasize grace and movement. Recently, his whale tails have been created from 800 year old red cedar blocks that
were originally destined to be cedar shakes. An alabaster bowl is carved into delicate eagle wings that allow light to come through in much the same way light is visible through eagle feathers. Schaddelee has created pieces from stone he refers to as Dutch Bakery marble, a slab of Italian marble that was a table top in the Dutch Bakery on Fort Street where he worked for 28 years. “I learned to work with my hands on that marble table,” Schaddelee says. “When the table cracked and couldn't be used as a table anymore they gave it to me so the beautiful stone could continue to evolve. You could say we’ve both gone through a transformation.” The public is invited to Maarnada studios, gallery and sculpture garden, 4635 Vantreight Drive, May 5 and 6 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Schaddelee will be in attendance both days. llavin@vicnews.com

Proven formulas for those fed-up with the rat race
How Average Canadians Are Creating and Protecting Their Wealth...
Do you believe one person has the same chance of being wealthy as the next? Or do you honestly think that most people who end up rich, got that way because of special circumstances?
waiting for things to “turn around”.
My name is Darren Weeks and I know from the bottom of my heart that everyone has the same chance. I am an average Joe. I grew up in a middle class family. I had no special breaks, and didn’t know any famous people who gave me my start. I definitely didn’t win any lottery.
One of my star students was a tradesperson who was fed up with trying to make ends meet every month. Rob Chaulk was a hard worker that knew his job wasn’t going to make life any easier. He also dabbled in some businesses along the way in the restaurant and towing business.
But I have done very well for my age... ...and I have shown thousands of Canadians how to copy my formula for financial independence. My company, the Fast Track Group, has been ranked among Canada’s Fastest Growing Companies for two straight years now. Last year, we finished 40th on PROFIT Magazine’s list. In 10 years, I have taken it from 5 employees in one tiny office, to over 100 employees and 12 offices. More than 350,000 Canadians have
No, they took action and realized that... ...turbulent times like this are where most of the wealthiest 1% made their biggest gains.
But he didn’t become financially independent until he mastered the money game. I was fortunate enough to be the one who showed him how. He has quit the trades, and now owns multiple businesses and has millions of dollars in cash-flow-positive real estate properties. One simple shift in the way he thought about money, a solid action plan to move forward, and he now never again needs to worry about money or paying bills. I personally grew up in a middle class family with no special advantages or opportunities. The difference for me though was a significant desire to be and have more. It wasn’t about all the fancy toys... for me it was about putting an end to the time for money trap I saw everyone else falling for. It was about seeing more of the world. It was about raising a young family in an environment that was positive about money, and the opportunities abound that created more money for those with initiative.
Mama’s got a squeeze box May 6 is World Accordion Day. Established in 2009 to officially mark the 180th birthday of the instrument, the day is a worldwide celebration of all things accordion. This year it’s going to be a special one with a 24-hour celebration of the accordion, similar to the coverage of New Years Eve, where celebrations are viewed on an ongoing basis as the time zones elapse around the world, ending with live stream interview from Victoria. Locally there will be a concert May 6, at 2 p.m., at the Edelweiss club, the home of Victoria Accordion Club. Prior to the concert, there will be a special screening of the history of accordion. After that, the audience will enjoy performances from the Victoria Accordion Club Band, B.C. Accordion Orchestra, internationally acclaimed classical accordionist Jelena Milojevic and other special guests. Everything will be filmed and broadcast around the world a few hours later. After the concert, there will be light refreshments provided. Tickets are by donation. On May 31, the B.C. Accordion Orchestra will have its traditional annual concert, with a new program. The show will be at Alix Goolden Hall, starting at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at Tempo Trend, Long & McQuade and Victoria Conservatory. llavin@vicnews.com

I immersed myself in the “Rich Dad” philosophies, and ultimately worked directly with Robert Kiyosaki to teach Canadian’s these same philosophies and how to take control of their financial future. I began investing in real estate. I started up businesses that supported my new money mindset. I tried to find others in Canada who I could talk to about this drive I had.

Barbs smash St. Mikes in Boot Game Oak Bay Barbarians take the bronze boot Travis Paterson News staff
There’s no boot like a bronze boot. The bronzed rugby shoe of former St. Michaels University School and Canadian national team player Gareth Rees represents Victoria’s biggest derby in high school rugby. And for the next 12 months it will live at Oak Bay High. Oak Bay Barbarians winger Kimia Hamedi scored a try, hit all five of his team’s conversions and nailed a penalty kick for a total of 18 points as the Barbs beat St. Michaels University School 38-17 in the annual Boot Game at St. Michaels on Tuesday (May 1). “It’s great to see the great rivalry that is the Boot Game,” said Barbs coach Murray Allen, vice principal of Oak Bay High. “For the kids, this is one of the biggest games of the year. The size of the crowd was enormous. Students, parents and alumni show how big a deal it is.” St. Mikes is no slouch in the AAA rugby standings. The school is always among the tops in Victoria and is currently ranked eighth overall in the province. But size is on Oak Bay’s side this year, as the Barbs are ranked second in B.C. and are one of the select few who could challenge the nobility of No. 1-ranked Shawnigan Lake Stags for a B.C. title. “(St. Mikes) carried the play in the first part of the game, had more possession and defended well,” Allen said. “We took advantage of mistakes to go up 21-7 by the half.” Despite having the lead, the Barbs didn’t take control of the play until early in the second half when fly-half Riley MacPher-

The Barbs won 38-17. son came back after an eight-minute banishment to the sin bin. “MacPherson might have been our player of the game. Once he came back on we really got things going,” Allen said. The win was Oak Bay’s fourth against top-10 ranked AAA teams this year, including victories over Carson Graham (No. 4), G.P. Vanier (No. 10) and Earl Marriott (No. 5). The two clubs are destined to meet again for the Howard Russell Cup, the city’s AAA championship. That final is scheduled for May 17 at Oak Bay High. It will be played back-to-back with the city’s A/AA Colonel-
Hodgkins final. “We don’t have a big forward pack. We do have a lot of skill, but we need to be fleet of foot,” said St. Mikes coach Eliot Anderson. “Provincially, if we’re fit and healthy we’re a tough game for anybody.” Also scoring tries for the Barbs was Kaz Kobayashi, with two, and Crosby Stewart and Thomas Mirmotahari with one each.
Sevens heaven The Glenlyon Norfolk School rugby team took a lot of first steps this season, a year of trial-by-fire as the small program jumped to Tier 1 in the Lower Island rugby sched-
ule. It has meant suffering big losses – 44-8 to St. Mikes and 48-0 to the Barbs. But by no means has it brought Glenlyon down. The team is led by B.C. youth sevens star Fergus Hall and came up with a pair of Tier 1 victories recently, 12-7 over the Claremont Spartans and 34-17 over the Reynolds Rogues. But where Glenlyon really made its mark this year was at the provincial seven-aside championships in early March. With Hall at the helm, Glenlyon finished fourth among the 22 teams competing. Glenlyon won all three pool games but lost to eventual champion Shawnigan Lake, 31-0, in the semifinals. Earl Marriott defeated Glenlyon 42-7 in the bronze medal game. Oak Bay, which was in the pool of death with Shawnigan and St. Mikes, recovered with a 31-7 win over Burnaby North but lost 31-19 to St. George’s in the plate semifinal. St. Mikes fell in the bowl championship 19-7 to Lord Byng. sports@vicnews.com

Historic farm mulls its future Bridge delay throws wrench into Craigflower Manor plan Kyle Wells News staff
Delays in replacing the Craigflower bridge are forcing The Land Conservancy to rethink plans to increase revenues at historic Craigflower Manor. With renovations resulting from a 2009 fire nearing completion and an understanding that the site would not be able to reopen this year because of the bridge work, the conservancy is mulling the manor’s future. The group is trying to come up with ways to increase revenues at the 1853 farming settlement in View Royal, as well as at the Craigflower Schoolhouse on the other side of the bridge in Saanich. Now that the start date for the bridge replacement has been pushed to January 2013 at the earliest, the conservancy is likely going to have to put a hold on developing revenue plans. Combined, the manor and the schoolhouse cost about $150,000 per year to run when in full operation. When open, the sites make less than a third of that. Subsidies from the provincial government, which still owns the sites, make up the difference. “We would like not to have to be going back to the province with our hand out all the time,” said TLC deputy executive director Ian Fawcett. “We took on responsibility and we intend to try to find a way to make it sustainable.” The provincial government has allocated $21 million over three years to help make historic sites in the province more sustainable to operate. Fawcett doesn’t yet know how much money that will result in for Craigflower Manor, but it could potentially go towards the site. Fawcett said the Craigflower bridge delay cre-

There’s little point in starting a project when the property will likely be closed for the 2013 season. Whether or not the site will now be opened for this season, or to what extent, has yet to be decided. “It makes a dramatic difference to what we potentially can or can’t do and it’s going to make even more of an impact on our bottom line,” Fawcett said, “but just exactly what that will be, at this stage I don’t know.” Closure is not an option at this point, Fawcett said. Even if the conservancy has to continue to rely on subsidies, it will keep the site open. “It’s a really fundamental underpinning of how we see our community. It’s been looked after very, very well over the years and we intend to continue that.” news@goldstreamgazette.com

Want to own a 330 KPH Supercar? Build it yourself Gearheads attending the recent BC Classic & Custom Car Show were among the first to see Brian Martel’s newly completed supercar. He and his dad had finished it in their ALYN EDWARDS backyard shop just a CLASSIC few days earlier. They RIDES had started the build in September 2010 and spent an estimated 2,500 hours doing almost everything themselves except the paint. This car is built to run with the fastest supercars on the planet. The GTM Gen II may be the ultimate kit car. The pile of boxes shipped from the Factory Five company in Wareham, Mass. costs about $20,000 plus transport. Then the builder needs to buy a late-model wrecked Corvette for another $10,000. A telephone book-size instruction manual details every step of the build. The results that have recently emerged from the Martel garage look like a gleaming four-wheel stiletto pushed by more than 400 horsepower. Road & Track Magazine called the GTM “the fastest car you will ever build.” This rocket is capable of going from 0 to 100 kph in less than three seconds. It can blaze through a quarter mile timer in 11 seconds at 212 kph (132 mph). The feather-weight fiberglass body wrapped around a tubular frame with roll bar completes a car that weighs a mere 1,180 kilograms (2,600 lbs). It blows by Ferrari 430s and Porsche road racers. Take the time to watch the YouTube video that puts you in the driver’s seat: www.youtube.com/
Brian and Ray Martel teamed up to build this Factory Five GTM Supercar as a family backyard project.
The large rear spoiler and custom exhaust are features on the custom-built supercar.
watch?v=eNujSSzRy7g. Ray Martel and his son Brian saw an earlier model Factory Five GTM at a car show in Pleasanton, Ca. A little internet investigation led to the decision to build one. They bought a front-end damaged 2003 Z6 Corvette in Salt Lake City, Utah for $13,500, landed in Vancouver. It became the donor car for the project, yielding its 405 hp V8 engine, front and
rear suspension and other components. Parts that weren’t needed were sold. Then the Martels went to work in the shop – sometimes putting in 18-hour days. Ray had grown up fixing cars with his brothers while being mentored by his father, who had a home shop. He graduated through the construction of high-powered street racers including a Chevy II, Corvette, Sunbeam Tiger Continued on Pg. B2

Cadillac XTS capless fueling keeps hands and paint clean
517 Kelvin Rd • SearlesAuto.ca
SATURDAY, MAY 5
Smart engineering makes gas stops quicker, less messy
The new Cadillac XTS luxury sedan features many technologies that are noticed the instant the vehicle’s ignition button is pushed. But some advancements, like a new capless fuel filler assembly, hide literally behind closed doors. Because fuel systems must be fully sealed, a loose cap can trigger a “check engine� light and lead to a service visit. The 2013 XTS doesn’t have a traditional twist-off cap hidden behind its fuel door. Because of this, the door itself doesn’t need to accommodate a hand and was designed to be smaller and less noticeable on the XTS’ sheet metal.
Despite having no cap, the system meets all fuel system sealing regulations. When a fuel nozzle is inserted, it pushes aside a set of two doors, each locking fuel in with a rubber seal around its edge. The two doors are designed to assure the system will remain airtight through years of ownership. Moving beyond capped systems has further advantages for car owners. It eliminates the risk of leaving a gas station with a dangling cap, which can lead to paint damage and messy fuel dripping. Because the XTS uses an advanced V6 engine with direct-injection and lightweight innovations like exhaust manifolds integrated into the cylinder heads and a next-generation six-speed transmission, fuel stops will also be less frequent.

2013 Ford Shelby GT500 certified as world’s most powerful V8 GT500 also offers segment-leading fuel-efficiency METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
The all-new supercharged 5.8-litre powerplant in the 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 has been officially SAEcertified as the most powerful series production V8 in the world with peak output of 662 hp and 631 lb/ft of torque. That’s more power and torque than low-volume sports cars costing tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars more than the GT500, which is the most fuelefficient vehicle in its segment. In fact, the 2013 GT500 is the most fuel-efficient car with over 550 hp in any segment available in North America. Unlike high-strung engines found in much more expensive exotic supercars, the GT500 engine generates
its massive thrust throughout its operating range with 395 lb/ft of torque available just off idle at 1,000 rpm. More than 90 per cent of the peak torque is available from 2,200 to 5,800 rpm so that no matter when you squeeze the go pedal, the GT500 will just get up and run. The combination of the new TVS 2.3-litre supercharger, twin overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder ensures this stallion can breathe all the way to 7,000 rpm with the peak power production coming at 6,500 rpm and holding fairly steady right to the rev limit. Even with the most powerful production V8 in the world, the 2013 Shelby GT500 improves on the fuel efficiency of the 2012 model with an EPA-estimated (US) 15 mpg city, (US) 24 mpg highway and (US) 18 mpg combined with no gas guzzler tax.
