Victoria Coun. Shellie Gudgeon paints over graffiti on a telephone pole at the corner of Bridge and Bay Streets. Covering over graffiti shouldn’t be the responsibility of the city, she says, citizens and businesses need to step.

Citizens asked to pick up paintbrush Supplies provided by city for graffiti removal; hefty fines in line for offenders Roszan Holmen News staff
People have come to know that the ‘Three Rs’ stand for a call to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. There’s now a second meaning ascribed to the expression. Conscientious citizens are now being asked to Record, Report and Remove when they run into graffiti. It involves taking a picture, grabbing a paint brush and informing police. “We’re empowering residents to adopt a pole or a block or a section of the city where they are
going to paint out all the power poles, so they remove all the graffiti,” said Darb Erickson, Victoria’s downtown programs liaison. “It needs to be addressed with community effort. We can’t just expect the city is going to go pay for all of it, whether it’s on public or private property. “And we can’t expect necessarily that utilities companies will be as responsive as we want them to be.” It’s part of a program called Together Against Graffiti, which Victoria adopted in 2011 after seeing it work in Esquimalt. “It’s about volunteers (making) a statement that they’re not going to stand for graffiti vandalism in their areas,” Erickson said.

The sound of banging pots and pans is filling the air from coast to coast. Though they’ll be thousands of kilometres away, Victorians will engage in a “casserole march” in unison with striking Quebec university students and supporters across the country during Solidarité!, a block party in Centennial Square tomorrow (June 9). It will be the second show of solidarity with the eastern ralliers since May 30, when locals, many with pots and pans in hand, marched through downtown Victoria. More than 155,000 post-secondary students, nearly one-third of the student population in Quebec, have yet to return to class amid escalating tension with government, sparked by the Quebec Liberals’ proposed 75-per-cent tuition increase over the next five years. Students in B.C. pay nearly double the average post-secondary tuition fees compared to Quebec students – $4,852 versus $2,519 annually, according to Statistics Canada. Despite the disparity, student groups in Victoria have thrown their full support behind the Quebec student resistance. “The post-secondary system in Quebec really serves as a model for the rest of Canada; it’s a system we can look to,” said Lucia Orser, direc-
tor of external relations for the University of Victoria Students’ Society. “That’s why we see students mobilizing across Canada – they’re defending the most accessible post-secondary education in North America.” Quebec students fear their postsecondary education system might become similar to that in B.C., which lifted tuition freezes in 2002, Orser added. “The culture in Quebec is so different and very distinct,” said Madeline Keller-MacLeod, external executive for the Camosun College Student Society. “Students in B.C. don’t remember a time when tuition wasn’t extremely expensive.” On May 28 both the UVic and Camosun student societies passed motions of support for Quebec students. Solidarité! begins with a pots-andpans-banging casserole march at 5 p.m. (8 p.m. eastern), the same time protesters will take to the streets in Quebec before leading into a party in the square with live music and guest presentations planned. “It’s a growing movement in support of Quebec, but also to demand affordable education for all,” said Orser, who hopes the Quebec protests may lead to more awareness of post-secondary cuts in B.C. Government watchdog, the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation, strongly opposes the student movement based on the “perpetuation of Quebec’s cycle of entitlement” and the fact that B.C. taxpayers continue to make equalization payments to Quebec, said Jordan Bateman, B.C. representative for the federation.

Remote aerial patrols in frigate’s mission
COMMUNITY NEWS
HMCS Regina preparing for very specialized deployment overseas
Relay raises funds for Island kids
Erin McCracken News staff
When Canadian frigate HMCS Regina heads for the Arabian Sea region in July, it will deploy with an unmanned aerial vehicle detachment. The ship will carry a small remote-controlled drone – essentially a tiny airplane that can fly for hours on end – that can capture high-quality images and data used for intelligence-gathering, surveillance and reconnaissance. “This is something of a first for a West Coast ship,� said Cmdr. Jason Boyd, who took command of Regina on May 18. The aerial vehicle will likely prove useful when the ship conducts patrols as part of an American-led naval counterterrorism operation underway in the Gulf of Aden, Gulf of Oman, Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean. “Like any unmanned air vehicle, they’re used as an extension of your ship’s sensors to broaden your reconnaissance capability, basically,� Boyd said. “That’s the effect that the navy brings, is that we’re able to easily re-role and take on new things such as this. We’re very flexible.� The crew’s job during the seven-to-eightmonth mission, he said, will be to look for suspicious ships, take note of traffic patterns and act as a deterrence in an unstable region. “We’re just looking for things that stand out in the area, from the flow of narcotics to supply money to fund (terrorism), to the transporting of key personnel, to the transporting of weap-

helicopter personnel and specialists who will operate the covert unmanned drone. The frigate is replacing HMCS Charlottetown, an East Coast frigate that left for the Mediterranean Sea in January. Charlottetown’s mission changed May 3 when it was ordered to the Arabian Sea, where some of the most important shipping lanes in the world are said to be situated. An unmanned aerial vehicle stationed on the vessel has been credited for playing a critical role in spotting ships involved in running drugs. Regina’s crew is eager to begin their mission, though there is still some training to do in the coming weeks with the Sea King team, and testing of ship systems, following a recent six-week maintenance period. “Any operational mission is always exciting for the crew,� said Boyd, an Esquimalt resident. “We train to do this and this is what the sailors sign up for.� The upcoming mission is seen as a plum assignment by those on board, he added. “This is certainly the best trip on the coast right now. There’s always interest from all sorts of trades wanting to do a deployment like this.� Boyd is also looking forward to putting his 19 years of Canadian naval experience to the test. “As a captain, this is the kind of mission that you dream of. I’m the envy of every captain in the fleet, both east and west. You dream of one day being in command of a ship that represents your government overseas, and doing an operational mission.� emccracken@vicnews.com
IN BRIEF
The Vancouver Island Money Mart Easter Seals 24-Hour Relay for the Kids raised $464,402 toward sending children with disabilities to camp over the weekend (June 2 to 3), bringing the total raised by the event at the University of Victoria to $8 million since its inception in 1995. More than 30,000 people from the Island donated to the annual relay, which saw some 2,000 runners, volunteers, sponsors and supporters visit Centennial Stadium. The cash affords kids a week’s stay at Easter Seals Camp Shawnigan, a specialized summer camping program, at no cost to their families. Top fundraisers were: Lightning Crickets ($30,810 raised), Off In the Woods ($20,379) and Sooke Sole Patrol ($15,406). Dangerous When Wet, the Fleet Diving Unit Pacific based at CFB Esquimalt won the top mileage award for logging a total of 78 laps around the university.
Huge garage sale a fundraiser-plus The ultimate community garage sale, Garagellennium, happens tomorrow (June 9) in Oak Bay from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Each year, up to 200 separate sales are registered for the event. Some vendors choose to donate their proceeds to community organizations, while others see it as an opportunity to do some spring cleaning. Hilary Knight says the community-building that Garagellennium provides is a huge reason why she participates in the annual event. “I’m a veteran,� she said. “I think I’ve been to every one since they started. It’s such fun. It’s just a big social event.� For more information, visit oakbaygaragesale. com. editor@vicnews.com

Bomb threat at courthouse a hoax A bomb scare at the Victoria courthouse Tuesday afternoon was quickly downgraded to a hoax after police and provincial sheriffs searched the building. Victoria police were alerted by staff at an undisclosed Victoria lawyer’s office at 2 p.m., after they read a chilling post on Facebook that said there was “a bomb at the courthouse and that people were ‘going to pay,’�
said police spokesperson Const. Mike Russell. The law office did not receive a death threat. Police officers went in search of the female suspect, while other officers and B.C. Sheriffs focused their efforts on the courthouse, located at the corner of Blanshard Street and Burdett Avenue. The law courts were not evacuated.

Disaster averted at shipyard Firefighters from Esquimalt, base team up on fire call Erin McCracken News staff
Victoria Shipyard workers are being credited for preventing the spread of flames found licking at electrical panels at the Esquimalt Graving Dock Tuesday night. CFB Esquimalt firefighters responded at 7:12 p.m. to several reports of a serious structure fire. When firefighters arrived on the south jetty, workers were using fire extinguishers to prevent the spread of fire that was burning around electrical junction boxes, breaker boxes and a transformer, mounted on an exterior wall of a wooden twostorey carpentry shop and classroom. Using thermal imaging equipment, firefighters determined the blaze had spread into the structure’s walls. The flames were knocked down by 7:30 p.m. Damage is estimated at $50,000. There were no injuries. “The actions of the shipyard
workers definitely contributed to preventing the fire from being more serious than it was,� said CFB Esquimalt Deputy Fire Chief Rick LeQuesne. LeQuesne’s team remained on scene for three hours, much of it spent clearing thick smoke from the building. The incident marks the first time the base fire department called the Esquimalt Fire Department for assistance, under a new mutual-aid agreement that was signed March 19. “We went down there and established a rapid-intervention team for them and provided some assistance outside,� said Esquimalt assistant fire chief Gib Small. “Any time firefighters go into a structure, they have to set up a minimum of a two-person team, to be prepared in case any of the firefighters that have gone inside need rescue.� There are limitations to the level of support the Esquimalt crew can provide base firefighters, given the specialized nature
of fighting fires onboard vessels. “If they have a fire on a ship, we won’t go down below decks,� Small said. “We would stay on shore, help with the hose handling, operate pumps, things like that.� The mutual-aid agreement has already proven beneficial to both departments. Prior to Tuesday night’s fire, base firefighters provided support to Esquimalt crews Saturday afternoon after a patio chair caught fire on a balcony at an apartment building near Esquimalt and Admirals roads. The fire departments have been training together in recent months, and familiarizing themselves with each other’s vehicles and equipment. “It’s beneficial to both departments because we can support each other,� LeQuesne said. “We’re right next door to Esquimalt, so if they require assistance at a fire, we’re very close to their area.� emccracken@vicnews.com

The Greater Victoria School District’s secretary-treasurer retires soon and the district has no plans to fill his position. When George Ambeault steps down mid-June after 13 years at the district books, his position will go unposted. Greater Victoria superintendent John Gaiptman and associate superintendent Sherri Bell will take over his duties, while Ambeault will remain an advisor as needed. “We’re looking at some tough
times next year and whether George’s duties can be done this way,� said board of education chairperson Peg Orcherton. “If not, we’ll have to reassess.� The cost-cutting move requires Gaiptman to report regularly to the board, ensuring duties aren’t missed. Ambeault, 65, will remain in the field of education part-time. He has accepted a job as executive director of the Educational Resource Acquisition Consortium, a group representing several boards of education in B.C., united for the purpose of large

resource material purchases. He calls the shift in gears “serendipitous.� “It allows me to stay in education, which is a great feeling, and to start slowing down for retirement,� he said. Ambeault came to the district by way of Waterloo, Ont. in 1999, where he had been the superintendent of business for the Waterloo Region District School Board since 1994. He praised the job Orcherton and her predecessors had done at the board table. nnorth@saanichnews.com

Members of DeerSafe Victoria are miffed after receiving a letter from the Capital Regional District ignoring their request to remove a member from the deer management advisory group. Representatives from DeerSafe sent a letter to the CRD on May 14 asking for the removal of Richard Christiansen, a bowhunter, from the citizen’s advisory group and for the appointment of a DeerSafe member. A May 30 response to DeerSafe from CRD Chair Geoff Young implied that no change would be made to the group’s makeup. “This is no laughing matter,” said DeerSafe co-founder Kelly Carson, adding that the letter was “insulting.” “We’re talking about lives. We
know that there are better ways of handling (deer) than killing them.” DeerSafe’s main concern is that the advisory group will continue to progress towards a cull. “It’s pretty clear that the killing solution is going to be the first action to be taken,” Carson said. More than half of the 11-member committee seems to be leaning towards a pro-cull method of deer management, Carson said, noting that member Lisa Kadonaga’s position is not yet known because of her absence at the CAG’s first two meetings. Members of DeerSafe have been to both CAG meetings so far and plan to attend them all. “We’ve been very respectful to the CRD,” Carson said. “We’ve attempted to communicate with them that we have
a couple of experts in our group who know about humane alternatives to (culling) deer (but) there’s been no conversation … there’s been no acknowledgement.” Young has previously said it would be unlikely for the board to remove someone from the advisory group, unless they were repeatedly absent or seemed unprepared to participate. He also stated that while members of the CAG may be representatives from certain groups, the hope is that some common ground can be reached in discussions. For more information or to find out when the CAG meets next, go to crd.bc.ca/regionalplanning/deermanage.htm or email deermanagement@crd. bc.ca. reporter@vicnews.com

“There have been so many government waste stories coming out of Quebec in the years that show they might not treat tax dollars as seriously as the rest of Canada,” he said. “If something is free, or you’re not paying for it, you don’t value it in the same way as if you were putting your own dollars on the line. It’s important that students pay a part of their tuition so they
understand there’s value to what they’re getting.” It’s a debate both Keller-MacLeod and Orser are ready to wage with the public during Solidarité! Outside of showing support in spirit, the party will also be an opportunity to back the Quebec protesters financially. The local student groups will be gathering funds to pay for lawyers for Quebec students who are facing criminal charges
as a result of their protesting. “This should be worrisome for anyone in Canada,” KellerMacLeod said. “All students in Canada should be inspired by Quebec students. They’ve been extremely democratic in how they’ve carried out their strike and they believe in what they want and that it’s worth fighting for. I’d like to see that have an effect on students in B.C.” nnorth@saanichnews.com

New book delves into 100-plus years in Esquimalt
Affordable Living for Independent Seniors

Sherri Robinson has worked on her latest literary work for so long, she has to pause a moment to calculate the years. “It began ... 2002,� the longtime Esquimalt resident says with a laugh. “What I started in 2002 was the researching.� When Esquimalt turned 90 years old that year, Robinson knew she wanted to do something special to mark the township’s 100 years as an incorporated municipality. After years of effort, she will publicly unveil Esquimalt Centennial, 1912 - 2012, during Buccaneer Days, on Saturday and Sunday (June 9 and 10). Given the amount of research involved, the author and historian could easily have written more than 144 pages. The book covers the military, heritage buildings, public figures, sports, schools, churches, pubs, parks – even municipal bylaws. Though the title of the hardbound, sewn book suggests a 100-year history, Robinson says she couldn’t leave out the years leading up to 1912. “I couldn’t do that, because you have to build your stories through the past, and that’s what I have done,� says Robinson, a volunteer at the Esquimalt archives and member of the Esquimalt Centennial Celebrations select committee. “It just overlaps and flows into everything.� Though detailed, the book “is not the definitive history on Esquimalt. It is stories (drawn from) the history of Esquimalt.�

Author, historian and Esquimalt resident Sherri Robinson holds a copy of Esquimalt Centennial, 1912 - 2012, her new book chronicling some of the township’s history. Robinson, author of Streets and Roads, A History (1995), put some little-known aspects of Esquimalt’s past in her new book, including details about garden nurseries in the township. “I think, on the scheme of things across the country, that our history is the most unique of any other place in Canada. I can’t think of any other place that was entirely expropriated by the government, and didn’t get absorbed into something else, or disappear completely.� She’s referring to the expropriation of the village of Esquimalt in 1941, when families and businesses were forced to move from
Hospital Foundation launches latest fundraising campaign Victoria Hospitals Foundation kicked off its 2012 Spring Campaign last week. This year’s focus for funding is minimally invasive surgery equipment for Victoria General Hospital (VGH). This equipment allows surgeons to perform a variety of procedures with a reduced impact on patients, leading to faster recovery times and more efficient and effective surgery. The goal is to raise $390,000 to pay for four new surgery towers, which includes a laparoscope and monitoring equipment.

She will be selling the book inside the Archie Browning Sports Centre during the Buccaneer Days community fair this weekend.

OUR VIEW
Queen’s reign offers stability At a time when the world is in financial turmoil and people are looking for some stability, Queen Elizabeth II is as good a person to look to as anyone. Not just for the Commonwealth countries over which she symbolically rules, but as a global picture of modest leadership. At 86, Elizabeth II Recent polls show that support for presents modestly maintaining Canada’s strong leadership ties to the monarchy are on the upswing among English-speaking Canadians. Part of that reversal of trend from say, five or six years ago, is likely due to last year’s royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton. But large kudos have to be given to William’s grandmother, who has traditionally held her own in polls when it comes to popularity or respect, regardless of the general feeling about the monarchy. In the 60-plus years since her coronation, Queen Elizabeth has quietly done her job as the head of state, sparking very little controversy and avoiding interference in political matters, especially those of countries other than Britain. It seems those in Canada who argue against keeping our connection to the monarchy have more concern over what might happen if Prince Charles were to become King, which he is in line to become once his mother dies or steps down from her duties. For now, the Queen, 86, shows few signs of slowing down, especially as she heartily celebrates the start of her seventh decade on the throne with a series of celebrations at home and abroad. To be sure, the future of the monarchy as it relates to Canada will one day require more serious discussions than relying on poll results. But with the Canadian public remaining as enthralled with the Royal Family as any other type of international celebrities, our links to the Queen and the Crown appear firmly entrenched. As we muddle our way through tough times, that’s comforting to know. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@vicnews.com or fax 250-386-2624.

I’ve even received background information from a government communications staffer who simply cut, pasted and emailed a story to me that was written by a journalist from another media outlet. Journalists are also under regular pressure from non-government sources who ask to read drafts of articles in which they are quoted, prior to publication. Regardless of the reason – nervousness about being misquoted, or being associated with incorrect facts or portrayed in a negative light – I think it’s critical that the public know they are reading an unfiltered, balanced news story. Imagine if every article you read in a newspaper was first vetted by the people who are quoted in the story. The story would, in essence, be a sanitized press release. And we get enough of those as it is. This is a fast-paced electronic age, one in which the output of information from a bevy of sources is one-sided. As such, it’s becoming increasingly important for the public to have access to content that isn’t simply processed sunshine and lollipop statements. Sugar in moderation is okay, but too much and it can come back to bite us one day. That day may already be here. Erin McCracken is a reporter with the Victoria News. emccracken@vicnews.com

VICTORIA NEWS - Friday, June 8, 2012
LETTERS Dog ownership rules restrictive Why won’t the City of Victoria stop pussy-footing around and admit they’re dog-hating cat people? There are no rules regarding cat ownership. They’re allowed to wander unsupervised all over the city. Everyone’s yard is a litter box and nobody seems to care that these critters can bolt into traffic. But heaven forbid you own a dog. The city hired a private team of over-zealous browbeats to maintain “control” over dog owners and their pets. You’re not allowed to bike with your dog and apparently walking with your dog is
discouraged too. There’s a bylaw stating you’re not allowed to “park” (tie up) your dog so you can go grab a coffee or do an errand. This means dog owners must drive everywhere with their dogs. I’m a bike-riding dog owner who does not drive. I’ve been in touch with the mayor and city council regarding the restrictive bylaws surrounding dog ownership. I am all for dogs being controlled by their owners, but mandatory leash laws do not guarantee control. A leash only gives the illusion of control while allowing the owner to forgo actually training
their dog to listen/obey. Just last week in Nanaimo, a dog was attacked and killed by a dog on a leash. As I’ve explained to the mayor, the issue is control. Clearly that leashed dog was not under control. My dog was trained on a “mental” leash and for 11-plus years we’ve used words to get him to slow down, move over, stay, etc. Dogs enhance their owner’s lives and it’s a shame the city supports bylaws that make dog ownership so unpleasant and restrictive. Nancy Raycroft Victoria
Readers respond: Left-laners, economy, E&N High speed main factor in traffic deaths Re: Slow drivers present greatest hazard (Letters, June 1) I was not surprised by the ranting letter about people who drive in the left lane on the Pat Bay Highway. Formerly a law enforcement traffic officer, I am one of them, but drive on the left because it is the safer of the two lanes. I do not drive under the speed limit unless there is a reason to do so. The left lane is not exposed to merging traffic, or traffic entering from service roads along that route. Nor is it exposed to drivers who jerk into a right exit from the left lane because their driving habits do not allow them to safely get into the right lane in time. There are times when I must drive in the left lane in preparation for a left exit. I am a bit amazed about the statement that Alberta drivers “finally got it.” Has this man driven Highway 2 between Edmonton and Calgary? It is frightening and dangerous, due entirely to high speed. The Pat Bay Highway is less than 25 kilometres long, with four traffic lights. One needs a calculator to determine how much time one ‘may’ save – under ideal conditions, over that entire length – even driving twice the legal speed limit. The need for speed is a habit and a dangerous one. A bit of thought about the actual time factor in almost every situation will clearly show this to be a fact. Charles Scheideman Saanichton
Our economic future tied to resource sector We are living in a strange and rapidly changing world, where countries are on the brink of
default on their huge debts. While anti-federal government voices are heard almost daily, Canada is hopefully on track to avoid the Greek-style tragedy unfolding in Europe. Our resource sector, the economic engine presently keeping Canada afloat, will be our saviour in a world where the options are few. Canadians are being force fed the idea that Canada will now have no environmental watchdogs or safeguards. All that with a minor reduction in government spending. That seems a little odd to me. I also do not think Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who has been vilified by so many, has instructed the various government agencies where they should make cuts. Many environmental regulations were too restrictive and cumbersome before the proposed budget bill changes. They caused legitimate resource development to be indefinitely stalled or reviewed out of being. The problem of governments tending to overlegislate to justify their own existence is common. The stakes are high. Because of our natural resources and energy reserves, Canada has the unique ability to survive in a world where manufacturing is being sucked into the black hole we call China. There is no stopping this deindustrialization of the west. If Canada can survive with our standard of living mostly intact, we will be one of the few developed countries to do so. Canada can be a society that uses its financial resources to care for our rapidly aging population and have some significant influence internationally. Or, we can fade into economic obscurity, adrift and unable to finance our social programs, health care and
educational systems. In that scenario, Canada could have little or no affect on the world; another welfare state looking for handouts. Bill Wilson Saanichton
Let’s get moving on E & N project Re: Rail safety none of the public’s business (Roszan Holmen column, May 25) I understand the first part of the E & N railway restoration project will be the stretch between Victoria and Langford. They are going to need a lot of help cleaning up along the tracks. People will be asked to help clear brush and weeds, plus a lot of junk that people have dropped on their walk along the trestles. Work is supposed to have started on the railway project, but I have not seen anyone at the roundhouse. The public needs to see work begin on the tracks now, and not have it be put on hold. Any delay would not help ease the Colwood crawl, which sometimes causes it to take two hours or more just to reach Helmcken Road from the Dockyard. The railroad could place dumpsters for volunteers to dump debris and weeds into, unless they want to put weeds in a separate container. I know quite a few people would come out for a hour or two to work on the tracks. People don’t want to wait until 2013 or 2014 to be able to take a train. Politicians have to stand up and tell us the truth of the matter at hand. I hope the E & N rail project isn’t delayed. It would be a shame to see a part of Victoria heritage die when there is no reason for it. Barbara Dunahee Esquimalt

Over the past few months, he’s co-ordinated power-pole painting events in eight communities, but anyone interested in covering over graffiti can simply call the city to have all the supplies delivered at any time. So far, the program has 35 volunteers. About a half dozen have made graffiti removal a personal mission that extends well beyond their immediate vicinity. Coun. Shellie Gudgeon is one. She can often be seen walking with a can of paint at the ready. “A neighbourhood has to be vigilant,� she said, fresh from covering tags along Bay Street. Long before pole-painting parties became a recognized, sanctioned event, she organized unofficial graffiti-painting events in Quadra Village. She calls the results “phenomenal.� “We’re winning in Quadra Village,� she said. When a graffiti tag shows up, it’s critical to remove it right away because taggers seek recognition, Gudgeon said. Twice, she and her husband discovered a graffiti tag scrawled across the entire wall of their business. In both instances, they painted over
it by 9 a.m., undoing hours of work by a tagger before many people got the chance to see it. “It’s discouraging (for the taggers),� she said. The Victoria Police Department is also encouraging people to report graffiti by making it easier to do, through its new ‘Report a Crime Online’ tool. “We need the awareness,� said Const. Chantel Ziegler, who has been appointed to the graffiti file. Back in 2008, Ziegler noticed the Victoria police didn’t distinguish instances of graffiti from other types of mischief. At her request, the police’s database was refined so the department could track incidents of tagging. By tracking it, she aims to distinguish prolific taggers from novices. Eventually, she hopes this body of evidence will be accepted by the courts when a person caught in the act of tagging is tried. To build a strong case, however, Ziegler said she needs more people to report graffiti by contacting the police by telephone or Internet. A lot of people didn’t think it was a crime, she said. “I don’t think there is a call too small if you are offended by it.� rholmen@vicnews.com
Attacking graffiti on all fronts As well as encouraging residents to paint over graffiti, the city is ramping up its efforts in a number of other ways: ■Enforcement: apprehended vandals will now receive a $750 municipal bylaw ticket. In the past, the city had the power to issue these tickets, but did not have a policy for doing so. On average, between six and 12 graffiti vandals are caught each year. ■Awareness campaign: The city is giving presentations in various venues to highlight the seriousness of the problem. If graffiti is left, it can lead to other forms of delinquency in the area, research shows. ■Support businesses: the city co-ordinates a significant discount on paint for businesses wanting to paint over graffiti. ■Networking: the Capital Region Law Enforcement AntiGraffiti Network was launched to help Greater Victoria’s 13 municipalities work together on graffiti

Greater Victoria’s population is getting older and there are fewer kids, a trend that will surprise few and was reinforced by Statistics Canada census data released last week. The number of people aged 65 and older has increased by nearly eight per cent in the past five years and is the fastest growing age cohort in the region. Nearly a quarter of all people in Greater Victoria are senior citizens. The number of youth dropped by nearly three per cent – kids 14 and younger make up 13 per cent of the city’s residents. The drop in youth is seen almost across the board – the number of kids in Saanich dropped by six per cent and the City of Victoria went down by five per cent. Langford, the only area of the city experiencing strong overall population growth, bucked the trend. The number of kids grew by an astonishing 21 per cent in five years. Silver Threads, a non-profit service provider for seniors
in Victoria and Saanich, is seeing a trend toward seniors on the older end of the scale, said Susan Brice, director of the Victoria office. “The increase in the number of seniors we’ve known would be coming for some time,” she said. “What’s amazing is the number of older seniors at our centres. A large portion is over 85. Many are in their 90s.” The aging generation of baby boomers is adding to the rise in the number of seniors, as is improved medical care and healthier lifestyles. One consequence is that more people traditionally at retirement age are seeking employment, either to keep active or because pensions and savings aren’t enough. That’s a phenomenon they didn’t see 20 years ago, Brice said. Elaine Gallagher, professor emeritus at the University of Victoria’s Centre on Aging, said the steady proportional increase in seniors has been predicted for years. Governments have been slow to respond, but are starting to see the repercussions of a greying population. As the senior population gets
bigger, the more younger people are caring for aging relatives. And a higher proportion of people will be living with Alzheimer’s, dementia and arthritis, Gallagher said. “These areas will really be a challenge in the future. There are fewer young people to support health care and social care,” Gallagher said. “And there are other repercussions. Our generation, baby boomers, want a role to play. They don’t want to sit back and just golf and fish. They want to be engaged.” A greying population has caused local governments to reorient how they develop their communities. Taking into account an aging population while planning infrastructure and programs is now part of the standard procedure. In 2008, Saanich participated in a World Health Organization project to make urban areas more “age friendly,” in co-operation with the Centre on Aging. In areas with high populations of seniors, Brice said the engineering department installed countdown indicators at crosswalks and longer walk signals. Recreation centres needed to be mindful of how people with walkers, scooters and wheelchairs would access facilities. “That kind of thinking is needed on how we will manage resources with changing demographics,” Gallagher said.

Arthritis can strike youth, too Young Esquimalt family works to keep things normal Don Descoteau News staff
Watching four-year-old Hazel Laughland run and climb on a playground near her home at Work Point, one might never guess that some days her joints are so sore that playing isn’t an option. The bright-eyed preschooler with a big smile and sparkly pink shoes – they’ve got “Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty” inside, she reels off – is one of roughly 10,000 children and teenagers in Canada with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. In her young life, the symptoms – soreness and inflammation of the joints – have come and gone. Her parents, Mark and Tammy Laughland, were relieved last year when Hazel went into remission and didn’t need to take medication or suffer through the injections needed to reduce swelling in her joints. A flare-up of the condition this spring meant a return to the daily pain management strategy, but the couple were more prepared for it, physically and emotionally, Tammy says. “When she got her first injection, I had to be out of the room, I couldn’t watch,” she says. “Now she wants me to be there.” When Hazel, who was born with hip dysplasia in 2008, was diagnosed with arthritis in 2010, her mom would watch her like a hawk and fret over minor tumbles. That has changed, Tammy says. “I don’t want to baby her, I want her to toughen up.” While slightly small for her age, Hazel is a typical youngster who enjoys being active, loves swimming and going to the playground, Mark says. “She won’t come out and say she hurts, she’ll just say her legs are tired,” he says of the difficult days. “She’ll participate in anything, but she sometimes has to (take it easy).” With another child in the picture, 19-month-old son, Cole, the Laughlands have tried to normalize their family life as much as possible. Part of that is sticking to their busy work schedules while the kids are at daycare. Tammy works at the Delta Ocean Pointe Victoria, while Mark, a navy petty officer second class, is an instructor at the fleet school at Naden. Mark works long hours, but is able to look after dinner and spend time with the children in the evenings. “(Hazel) likes to help with supper, then it’s bath and story time. The weekends are nice, we all get time to spend together.”
Don Descoteau/News staff
Hazel Laughland, 4, waits for mom, Tammy, to push her on a swing near their home at Work Point in Esquimalt. They’ll spend more time together on Sunday (June 10), strolling the one-kilometre route for the Walk to Fight Arthritis, staged across the country by the Arthritis Society. The annual event not only raises money for research, it seeks to bust such myths that arthritis is an old person’s disease. According to society statistics, about one in 1,000 children or teens have arthritis. Having the resources of the Arthritis Society available, including up-to-date treatment information, has taken away a lot of the fears, Mark says. “When we found (Hazel) had arthritis we said ‘let’s deal with it,’” he says. “They made things clear – why it’s like this and what can we expect. Just knowing helps so much. When you don’t know, that’s when it’s really scary.” editor@vicnews.com

SPLASH
Olympicfacts Summer Games begin in July
Diver Riley McCormick changes tactics as he prepares for the Games
The 2012 Summer Olympic Games will be held July 27 to Aug. 12 in London, England.
Official flame now in the U.K.
Story by KYLE SLAVIN

iley McCormick says the London Olympics will be a different experience than Beijing. And he’s veering away from what he did four years ago to give him the best chance possible of winning. “What will be best for me will be focusing my time and energy into consistent training, rather than travelling around to different meets before the Olympics,” the 20-year-old Saanich resident said. Even from a mental perspective, getting a spot on the Olympic team was entirely different this time around. “The first time it was an ‘I made it!’ feeling. I was ecstatic. I had achieved my goal,” he said. “This time I was excited, of course, but I felt more relieved than anything. Last time (at the Olympics), I had already accomplished my goal (of qualifying).” McCormick secured his Olympic spot on May 27 at the Diving Canada Olympic trials in Montreal. He completed an impressive fifth-round reverse dive, earning perfect 10s from four of the judges, and clinching a spot before taking his final dive. Training as an Olympic platform diver is no easy feat. McCormick, who’ll participate in the 10-metre event in London, spends seven days a week training at Saanich Commonwealth Place. His rigid schedule involves an hour of dry land work in the morning (stretching, flips, acrobatics) followed by an hour in the water. And then his afternoon begins with another hour out of the water, followed by two hours in the water. “I have to have a good strategy with my coach … in order to not blow everything out, and have nothing left in the tank for the Olympics. I feel like we had a great strategy, because I’m not exhausted from it, and I’m ready to keep going.” As an athlete, McCormick sees that he’s improved significantly since the 2008 Beijing Olympics. “I don’t have as many errors. I’m a lot more consistent,” he said. “I’m also doing much more difficult dives now.” Another aspect of attending the Olympics that he hopes will be different this time around is getting a chance to see other athletes compete. “This time I’m definitely going to take a different approach, and I’m going to try and see some sights, and see other events,” he said, mentioning that a soccer game is top of mind, in that respect. But his priority remains ensuring he’s physically and mentally prepared when he’s standing 10 metres above the water at the London Aquatics Centre. “It’s very, very stressful … but I’m still hungry for this – I’m hungry to do well at the Olympics.” kslavin@saanichnews.com
The Olympic Flame was lit in Olympia, Greece on May 10 and after a short relay around that country, it arrived in the United Kingdom May 18.
Thousands carry Olympic torch The Olympic Torch was carried by 8,000 torchbearers, who travelled 12,874 kilometres through more than 1,000 communities. On average, each torchbearer carried the flame 300 metres.

Defining citizenship through art Grade schoolers present their ideas in the form of drawings
Johnson Street Bridge
Pathways, Landscaping and Public Spaces
Roszan Holmen News staff
Maya Kara didn’t know the word citizen before having a group discussion about it at her after-school child-care program. She and the other kids recently expressed their ideas about the concept through drawings, now posted on a wall at the Vic West Community Centre. Citizenship, Maya says, means “helping out, or being a good person.” The Grade 2 student drew herself helping a friend who was crying after falling on the sidewalk. Another drawing, showing community, shows her walking the dog of someone who is too sick to do it. The art exercise is part of Laura Swaine’s master’s thesis. “It was surprising to me how individualistic their idea of community was,” Swaine said. “When I started this project, I thought when I asked about community, they would say things like the school, the community centres … but I wasn’t getting that.” Instead, most drew pictures of their families, their friends, or

ics from a young age. Next, she will host a presentation and discussion about her project at the community centre, 521 Craigflower Rd. It takes place June 13 at 7:30 p.m. “(Kids) want to be involved and they want to talk about it … but there’s sort of a disconnect there,” Swaine said. rholmen@vicnews.com

Potter enchanted by hands-on medium Use of driftwood brings excitement to work Kyle Slavin News staff
Ester Galac is so passionate about pottery that she turned down a diamond ring as a 20th wedding anniversary gift from her husband, and opted instead for a potter’s wheel. The 55-year-old Saanich resident first entered the pottery world more than two decades ago, after years of interest in the art but never having had an opportunity to set foot into that world. “Our girls were taking ballet lessons at Cedar Hill. While waiting for them I was wandering through the halls and found the pottery studio. I was enchanted,” Galac recalls. She took her first pottery class in 1989, but the timing wasn’t right to pursue the art – what with raising two daughters – so she didn’t return to pottery until 1999. That’s when she took another class. And then another. And then another. And Galac has never looked back. She’s now an active member of the South Vancouver Island Potters Guild, which is hosting its annual show and sale at the Fairfield Gonzales Community Place on June 16. The bottom floor of Galac’s Gordon Head

She has her studio (where she throws the clay and forms the pieces), a kiln room, a glazing room and then a storage room with shelves full of funky homemade teapots, mugs, vases, plates and pitchers. Each of Galac’s pieces is unique – playful, and evidently inspired by the nature that
encompasses her home. Though many of her pieces are functional, she points out a decorative bronzed oval, which she’s particularly proud of. She scours area beaches – Cordova Bay, French Beach – for kelp and driftwood to incorporate as handles and the like on her art. “In today’s mass-produced world, when
people buy handmade work, that brings different qualities and some excitement into your everyday,” Galac says. “The user can find the marks that the maker left “I was behind.” The Potters Guild wandering is 70 members through the halls strong, 35 of whom will have their works and found the display and for pottery studio.

Food, human rights focus of art exhibition Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
Just Food will bring a new look to human rights issues in a display this month at the Mary Winspear Centre. The Just Food art exhibition features 13 artists from Canada and around the world who add their voices to the growing number of people connecting the right to food with a faith-based response to hunger in the world. “We’re just hosts, it’s not a church function. It’s more about human rights and using the arts to communicate that,” said pastor John Liira of Highway Christian Fellowship, the church on McDonald Park Road near Highway 17. “It has a very unique focus, it’s on justice and food issues. “ The artists, including six Canadians (one of them First Nations) and 12 other international artists from 13 countries, were given United Nations declarations as inspiration. “It’s really highlighting some of the current issues with food accessibility and done in a visual format that is very compelling,”
Laura Lavin/News staff
(Above) John Liira from Highway Christian Fellowship, organizers of the art show. (Left) Pour Down Righteousness by Annelies Soomers. Liira said. “We’re just hoping that many people get to see it.”
The hope is that with this exhibit, people will be informed, equipped and motivated to exert themselves and their communities toward the goal of ending hunger — that Just Food will become just food. “We’re very involved with the social justice and poverty issues as a faith based community,” Liira said. “People get to enjoy a really stimulating exhibition and be involved in social justice at the same time.” He discovered the show, which has toured North America for about 18 months now, on the Canadian Food Grains Bank website. Admission is by donation with proceeds going to the Canadian Food Grains Bank. “It’s one of the two primary arms for food aid in Canada,” Liira said. “It’s a reputable, government-recognized organization, so we just want to highlight through the art exhibition there’s opportunity there for us to actually make a difference.” Just Food is on at the front gallery of the Mary Winspear Centre. The show runs to the end of June from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Saturday. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Even on a bad day – by his own standards – Mason Kereszti dominates in the javelin, his specialty. He won gold in that event at the B.C. high school track and field championships in Burnaby last weekend (June 2 and 3). He also won gold in the discus, and bronze in the shot put. “I didn’t train with the discus or shot put, and only threw them in three competitions this year, so I’m happy it all just came together for me with those two events,” said the Grade 12 Lambrick Park student. Kereszti’s dominance in the javelin was blatant, as he beat the silver medal winner by just under eight metres. Not bad for an off day. “I don’t know what was wrong,” Kereszti said. “I was more than four metres short of my personal best.” It’s the second year in a row that Lambrick Park secondary has turned out a future national team member in a throwing event. Kereszti is following in the footsteps of his cousin Adam Keenan, who graduated from Lambrick in 2011, and will join him in Kamloops this summer to train with the national training centre. Keenan has been there one year already, focusing on
the hammer throw. Kereszti hopes to one day succeed Olympian Scott Russell as the reigning Canadian javelin thrower. It will be a few more years of junior and under-23 competitions until the two can pack on the kind of bulk sported by Olympic-level throwers, though Keenan is well on his way. Kereszti will enroll at Thompson Rivers University, just as Keenan currently is, and will train alongside his cousin under the watchful eyes of Anatoliy Bondarchuk. The highly regarded Russian also coaches Olympic medal hopeful Dylan Armstrong. The cousins are now in training for the national junior track and field championships, set for Winnipeg, July 27 to 29.
Oak Bay streak ends The Oak Bay girls team’s domination of the provincial track and field championships ended at nine straight titles with the team’s second-place finish in Burnaby. The four-by-400m relay team of Rianne Craig, Bree Neale, Lexie Scott and Heather Vantassell won gold, and the same team won silver in the four by 100m, swapping in Kiah Ecceleston for Vantassell. Craig also won silver in the pole vault, clearing 2.85m, with the bronze medal going to Lindsay Cole of Mount Doug. Madelyn Brunt won bronze in the 1,500m steeplechase.

Liam Kennell won bronze in the 1,500m, beating Mount Doug rival Thomas Getty, who was fourth. And Graham Landells won silver in the 1,500m race walk.
The fruit of fourth place A belated adjustment to the decathlon standings moved Lambrick’s Lucas Dellabough from fifth to fourth, which pushed the Lambrick boys team ahead of Oak Bay. Dellabough also took bronze in the 200m dash and finished fourth in the 100m dash. sports@vicnews.com

Motorbike rules aim for safety LOCAL DINING Potential fines spelled out for riders, passengers Brittany Lee News staff
Motorcyclists may want to check the decals on the back of their helmets and the placement of their passenger’s feet if they want to avoid hefty fines. As of last week, motorcyclists now face up to hundreds of dollars in fines if they are caught not wearing helmets that meet the province’s new safety requirements, or riding without their feet on the bike’s foot pegs or floorboards. Only helmets complying under the standards of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), Snell Memorial Foundation 2005 or 2010, or the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) will be considered legal. Proper certification labels on helmets will be required. “The better you’re protecting your head, the greater chance you have to survive,” said acting Oak Bay police Sgt. Angus Wagnell. Novelty helmets, known as skid lids, skull caps or beanies,
which were previously legal, don’t provide any actual protection, he added. “If you hit something head-on, you’re flying off that bike at 50 km/hr – 80 km/hr on the highway.” The helmets required under the new regulation have “a rigid head covering with a strong, stiff outer shell and a crushable liner,” he said. The stiff shell protects the head by distributing the impact throughout the surface of the helmet, while the crushable liner absorbs energy of the impact. It’s a “no-brainer” to have improved safety equipment, said Insp. Ray Fast, head of RCMP Island District Traffic Services. “Even if it just saves one life or saves one person from a serious injury, I think that’s a significant achievement,” he said. As for keeping one’s feet in place, children or other riders who cannot reach the foot rests will no longer be able to ride as passengers. If a passenger is not tall enough to reach them, it probably isn’t safe for them to be on the bike, Wagnell said. “Part of it is for child safety,” he said. “The other part is to try and prevent stunt driving.” Motorcyclists found violating seat requirements, such as
allowing passengers under the age of 16 to be unlawfully seated, will face up to $121 in fines or could have their bike impounded if found to be stunt driving. All helmet-related offences will cost bikers up to $138. If a motorcyclist refuses to give their helmet to an officer when asked, a $276 fine will be issued.

FAST FACTS ✦ The 2012 MS Bike Tour Cowichan
Cyclists look forward to a Grape Escape Cyclists are set to pedal into the Cowichan Valley for the South Island’s biggest fundraiser for the MS Society. By Jennifer Blyth Black Press
Corrie Harrison was introduced to the MS Society’s Grape Escape ride for MS several years ago while working at a local radio station. Five years later, she and her team are pedalling stronger than ever, enjoying the camaraderie and fun of the ride, but also the thrill of helping contribute to the fight to end multiple sclerosis. The picturesque ride, with several distances to accommodate many riders, takes place in the Cowichan Valley over two days July 7 and 8, with numerous stops at wineries, farms and other unique destinations along the way. “When you finish, you just feel great,” Harrison says. “There’s the personal challenge you have riding, the fun of meeting people and stopping at all those neat places. You meet so many people – the whole experience is just terrific!” Joining Harrison and the Random Do-Gooders have been Tammy Osland, Melissa Foster, Sarah Butcher, Lydia Byran and Candyce Nowak, with others “recruited” over the years to join the fun – and fundraising. Each Grape Escape rider commits to raising a minimum of $325 to participate, but many fundraise much more. In fact, the Random Do-Gooders will be at Galaxy Motors from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. this Saturday, June 9, for their third annual carwash in support of the MS Society. Through this and other fundraisers, such as their recent hot dog sales at the Selkirk Waterfront Festival, the team hopes to top , y their $$7,000 total from last yyear,, and has their eye

The Random Do
Valley Grape Escape is being hosted for the first time at Shawnigan Lake School, meaning participants can enjoy many of the same stops, but via a new route. Find more information about the route at www. cowichanvalleygrapeescape.com ✦ The venue change also brings an earlier ride – July 7 & 8 – and registration has already surpassed last year’s numbers!
REGISTRATION INFO ✦ Registration to July 6 is $55 or $90 with dorm fee for those staying overnight at Shawnigan Lake School. ✦ Note that all riders must raise at least $325 to join the event. If the minimum has not been raised by July 7, they will be asked to cover the difference in order to participate.
ABOUT MS ✦ 160 Grape Escape volunteers
The Random Do-Gooders are looking forward to this year’s Grape Escape bike ride for MS, July 7 and 8. on the $10,000 mark, Harrison says. Over the last four years, some of the fundraisers have been almost as memorable as the event itself, she says, recalling their inaugural car wash – held on her birthday – which raised a whopping $1,000, thanks to many hands coming out to help. “The amount of support we had for that was terrific,” she says, remembering telling friends and family that her ideal birthday gift that year would be their help washing cars. “That was the most memorable fundraiser, but there are so many memories you make, I could probably go on forever!” In addition to the team’s fundraising goals, Harrison also sets personal challenges for the ride. “La “Last year was the first year I didn’t walk my bik bike at all!” A Advice to new riders? “The first thing I wo would say is when you reach a hill don’t loo look up – that’s how I made it up each and ev every hill last year,” she laughs. While Harrison is one of the few riders w who doesn’t have a personal connection to M MS through friends or family, the people sh she has met over the years have offered p plenty of inspiration. In turn, one of the successes of such a m major event is in the sense of commun nity it creates, and through it the support ffor the many people living with multiple sclerosis on the South Island. People realize that they are not alone as they live with the disease; there are many, many people who are lending their support, both to find a cure and to help provide
All the volunteers and riders I met were so pleasant and positive. It was truly a pleasure. All of the riders cycling in had big smiles and positive energy oozing into the air. Kari-Lyn Owen, Team Captain, Powerade Pedalers

A complex neurological disease often diagnosed in young adults aged 15 to 40, multiple sclerosis is unpredictable, affecting vision, hearing, memory, balance and mobility. However, no one need face MS alone. Here in Victoria, as in communities across Canada, volunteers and MS Society staff provide information, support, educational events and other resources for people with MS and their families. Researchers funded by the MS Society are working to develop new and better treatments. Their ultimate goal is a cure.

Foster Foundation gets boost from Fairways, shoppers Thanks to the support of customers, suppliers and staff, Fairway Market presented a cheque last Friday to the David Foster Foundation for $86,817. The cheque represents the culmination of the local grocery’s successful threeweek fundraising campaign for the foundation, which provides financial support to Canadian families with children in need of life-saving organ transplants. “It all goes to a Jennifer Blyth great cause,” said Business Beat Fairway Market vicepresident Robert Jay. “Fairway is always involved in the community and wants to give back. Families are a good fit for us as we see generations coming to our stores.” Mel Cooper, David Foster Foundation’s honourary director and special advisor, said the fact Fairway is nearing its 50th anniversary in Victoria is timely. “It shows the importance of local support. This is where we began as the David Foster Foundation 25 years ago (and) now, as a national foundation, our need for support is greater than ever before.”

Hot rod club set to launch 25th annual old time drags at Ashcroft This weekend (June 8 to 10), George Criddle will aim his 700 horsepower 1933 Willys coupe race car down the quarter-mile Eagle Motorplex Drag Strip outside Ashcroft for the ALYN EDWARDS 25th year in a row. CLASSIC His car is capable RIDES of going the quartermile distance from a standing start in just over nine seconds. The highly modified 80-year-old Willys coupe will be travelling approximately 225 kilometers per hour (140 mph) when the car trips the timing device at the end of the track. The 67-year-old driver says he has an ongoing need for speed. Criddle, whose business is rebuilding automatic transmissions, originally built his Willys coupe into a street rod from a pile of pieces purchased at a swap meet 30 years ago. He traded a rebuilt transmission and torque converter for the project car. He used his car to tow a tent trailer to hot rod meets around the Pacific Northwest. When the Langley Loafers began their Oldtime Drags at the newly opened Eagle Motorplex Drag Strip in 1988, Criddle was there with his drag car and he hasn’t let his foot off the accelerator since. “I’ve been at every one and I’ll be there once again,” he enthuses. “Over the years, I’ve just been putting more power in the tube chassis. You just get hooked on speed.”

the oldest hot rod clubs in the country. The Langley Loafers Hot Rod Club was conceived in a supermarket parking lot in April 1957. A group of young car enthusiasts had gotten together after seeing similar car clubs start up in other communities. John Halvorsen was at the first meeting and did the design for the original aluminum Langley Loafers plaque that full members would hang below their rear license plate. “There were a dozen or so car crazy guys in town with modified custom cars that got the idea to form our own club,”
His engine is a Ford 351 Windsor stroker which has a 434 cubic inch displacement and will lift the front end of the Willys coupe off the drag strip pavement when the “Christmas tree” timing light turns green. The Oldtime Drags competition for pre-1972 cars is held at drag strips in both Ashcroft and Mission. Last year, Criddle got knocked out of first place in the hot rod category in the last race. Criddle and 30 other hot rod drag racers have started their own class and have signed up sponsors including Big Rig, Seattle Tool Canada and Lucas Oil. The Oldtime Drags are run by one of

Nissan Canada and PowerStream demo the LEAF to Home charging system
Galvanized Trailer Specials!
Zodiac, Bombard, Rubber Duck, Avon, HIBO
Nissan and its strategic partner, PowerStream, made history recently when they showcased an interactive exhibit demonstrating the integration of electric cars like the Nissan LEAF into the home with the latest Smart Grid technologies. The display, which marks the first reallife demonstration of V2H technology in Canada, took place at Georgian College in Barrie. “V2H” stands for the “Vehicle to Home” system, which enables energy that is stored in an electric vehicle’s batteries to be used in residential homes. With a 24kW lithium-ion battery, the Nissan LEAF is able to provide the typical Canadian household with enough electricity for a full day, when the battery is fully charged. The “LEAF to Home” electricity supply system, which achieves high capacity and reliability only possible with a vehicle battery, is swiftly gathering attention as a new form of infrastructure, and as a contributing factor to energy saving and alternate energy use. For example, cutting off one’s own household from the power system network when demands are highest would be a significant contribution towards the stable supply of power.

SLS AMG + 178mph golf ball = worlds’ farthest golf shot caught in moving car The U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has named the 2013 Acura RDX a Top Safety Pick.
All-new 2013 Acura RDX joins Top Safety Pick vehicles METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
The all-new 2013 Acura RDX has received the highest possible safety rating of Top Safety Pick from the U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The IIHS award recognizes vehicles that do the best job of protecting vehicle occupants involved in front, side and rear crashes, plus rollover performance based on ratings in the Institute’s tests. The all-new 2013 RDX, along with the 2012 TL, MDX, and TSX sedan and Sport Wagon, have all earned IIHS 2012 Top Safety Pick ratings and the highest possible score of GOOD in all four Institute tests, including the rigorous roof-strength test. For 2013, a revised four-wheel disc brake system on the RDX teams with
an anti-lock braking system and Brake Assist to further enhance safety and greater driver control. To meet the federal government’s new standard (FMVSS 216) for roof crush resistance, the RDX body incorporates several new structural enhancements in the roof and side pillar areas. Standard safety equipment on all Acura models includes Vehicle Stability Assist with traction control, ABS, dual-stage/multiple-threshold front airbags, front-side airbags with passenger side Occupant Position Detection System, side curtain airbags for all outboard seating positions, front seats with integrated active head restraints, front seatbelts with automatic tensioning system and load limiters, Tire Pressure Monitoring System and Daytime Running Lights.

Formula 1 legend and DTM driver David Coulthard and professional golfer Jake Shepherd set a Guinness World Record May 30 at Dunsfold Aerodrome, Surrey, as part of a viral film for Mercedes-Benz. Coulthard, who was driving a 571 hp Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster at 120 mph, caught a golf ball in the cockpit of the moving car which was 275 metres from the tee, and hit by Sheperd at an astonishing 178 mph. This amazing achievement secured the world record for the furthest golf
shot caught in a moving car in only the second attempt of the day. The outstanding feat of skill was captured on film and will be launched in early July to celebrate the power of the SLS AMG Roadster which, thanks to its AMG hand-assembled M 159 V8 engine, rockets to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds. “This world record attempt is definitely one of the most unusual things I’ve ever been asked to do with a car!” Coulthard said. “Jake Shepherd was great to work with and the performance of the SLS AMG Roadster made driving to catch a mid-air golf ball even more exciting.”
Former FI driver David Coulthard driving a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG actually was able to catch the golf ball hit by pro golfer Jake Shepherd in mid air to set a new Guinness World Record.

New stylistic notes for Ferrari: the SP12 EC is born METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
For a Ferrari enthusiast and great musician like Eric Clapton, a one-off car just had to be produced. Designed by the Centro Stile Ferrari in collaboration with Pininfarina and the engineers from Maranello, the SP12 EC was created as homage to Clapton’s career and his long-lasting experience as a Ferrari owner. His story is told in the latest edition of Ferrari Magazine. The world-famous guitar player has been attached to one particular Ferrari model: the 512 BB, of which he has owned three over the years.
So his desire was to drive a car inspired by this model, with influences from the multi-award winning 458 Italia. Exclusively in the latest issue of the Ferrari Official Magazine Clapton talks about his passion and how the idea of a one-off car was born. Meticulous attention in terms of style and technology was paid to the proportions and architecture of the SP12 EC (Eric Clapton) – which is part of Ferrari’s One-Off Program – making this exceptional car even more significant. Just like music is created, applying the right notes in the right places to build a musical score, so was the creative process behind the SP12 EC.
Exclusively in the Ferrari Official Magazine Eric Clapton, talked about his passion for Ferrari and his one-off model.

Western Speedway hosts the annual Strawberry Cup Saturday champion Ryan Wade is in third spot with 324 points and will be looking to win his first feature of the year, club president Dave Reside sits in third, only three points behind Wade at 321. Rookie driver Brandon Steen rounds out the top five with 313 points on the strength of his second-place finish at the last race. Other drivers expected to challenge for the win include former champion Brian Clutchey and Darryl Crocker, who debuted his new car last race. The Old Time Racing Association will make their second start of the year on Friday. These beautiful cars from the ‘30s and ‘40s resemble the first cars that raced at Western in the 1950s and ‘60s and always put on a great show. George “The Jet’ Jenson will be looking to make it two wins in a row after his victory at the opening race; others expected to fight for the win include Tom Cinnamon and two sets of father-and-son teams,
chased Stewart to the checkered flag in both features, and last time out set fast time and won the fast heat. The next three positions are separated by only three points. Sidney’s Rob Scott and Chris Root have 112 and 111 points respectively, with Saanichton’s Paul Verhagen is at 110. New drivers expected to be out for the first time this year include last year’s champion Jesse Dardengo, Deter Lejeune and Lance Wade. Winged driver Matt Mansell should be back in action after running in the Idaho Speedweeks last weekend for Winged Sprint Cars. The Island Series Stock Cars will run on Saturday and leading the way will be points leader Cody Aumen from Duncan. Aumen is leading the points with 387, with Kyle Cottam at 364. Cottam picked up his first ever main event win May 26, while Aumen set a new track record and finished third in the main. Defending
At this year’s Le Mans 24-Hour race, Audi will use a digital rear-view mirror employing the latest active matrix OLED (AMOLED) display technology.
Audi looks into the future with digital rear-view mirror METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
When the Audi factory drivers tackle the Le Mans 24 Hours (June 16 and 17) a very special technology will enhance their vision. Used for the first time in a closed LMP sports prototype, the digital rear-view mirror provides a clear view of the rear and thus substantially improves active safety. Aside from the physical and mental strain in endurance racing, life for the quick racers compared with their DTM colleagues is made more difficult by the special aspect of totally different vision. A camera of very light weight and dimensions of just a few millimeters sits behind the antennas on the roof of the Audi R18. It captures the action at the rear on film and transmits the information to the cockpit as digitalized data. The racing situation behind the vehicle is shown on a screen that sits in the place where an inside mirror is typically located. This has only been made possible by the latest diode technology. Instead of conventional light-emitting diodes an active matrix OLED (AMOLED) display is used. Its name has been derived from organic semiconductors. Their major advantage: Like displays, AMOLED screens can show multicolored images and offer better resolution thanks to particularly small pixels with diameters of merely around 0.1 millimeters. Outstanding image quality and short response time are further positive properties of AMOLEDs.

Smart material use drives Cadillac ATS performance METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
Cadillac engineers have used a wide variety of materials to make sure the new ATS that goes on sale this summer meets performance and weight goals.
When engineers set out to make the all-new 2013 Cadillac ATS as light as possible they used advanced materials to minimize weight throughout the compact luxury sports sedan but never compromised performance capability. Lightweight parts such as an aluminum hood and magnesium engine mounts help ATS achieve a curb weight less than 1,542 kilograms (3,400 lbs), and highway fuel efficiency is expected to be lower than 6.5L/100km. Keeping weight down also enabled balanced distribution of vehicle weight that helps delivers a world-class driving experience. One seemingly heavy way the ATS engineering team achieved its performance goals was using cast
iron in the rear differential instead of aluminum, a learning taken from the performance-tuned CTS-V. The differential provides torque and rotation to the wheels, and ATS’s cast iron design helped distribute weight equally between the front and rear wheels to provide agile handling while reducing noise and vibration. Cadillac benchmarked it against world-class competition to deliver a driving experience that is as well tuned for sound as for ride and handling. The ATS team also achieved significant weight reduction in the rear suspension by using specially engineered straight steel links with lightening holes instead of using aluminum. Inside the ATS, the vehicle team took advantage of a new process that places sound-absorbing material between two layers of laminated steel. By doing so, Cadillac refined a part and process it pioneered on CTS.
