Researchers’ work prompts VicPD privacy investigation Use of licence plate scanning technology questioned Daniel Palmer News staff
Is Big Brother really watching you? Three Victoria privacy advocates have spent the past two years trying to answer that question, digging up scraps of information on a controversial police technology called the automated licence plate recognition system. “We have been stymied at every level,” said Chris Parsons, a University of Victoria PhD candidate specializing in privacy issues. The device uses police cruisermounted cameras to automatically capture up to 3,000 licence plates per hour. It then notifies officers of a “hit” on uninsured and prohibited owners, as well as stolen vehicles. The technology is used throughout British Columbia and is administered by the RCMP. In Greater Victoria, Chris Parsons VicPD, Saanich police and the Integrated Road Safety Unit use it regularly. What makes the program so concerning to critics is that data collected from “non-hit” vehicles is kept on encrypted RCMP servers for two years. Although it’s not used, the information could be referenced for investigative purposes to retrace vehicle movements. The RCMP insists such actions are not taking place, but the Mountie in charge of the program, Supt. Denis Boucher, said his office is considering expanding the program. “It’s called function creep,” Parsons said. “That means every citizen that drives, (police) want to be able to track who they are and where they’re at.” PLEASE SEE: Plate reader data use, Page A8

Council weighs risks, public input on bridge project Daniel Palmer News staff
Input from more than 200 people will help shape the future design of the $92.8-million Johnson Street Bridge and its entrances. Their suggestions include calls for greater emphasis on landscaping, art installations and traffic-calming measures. During a special meeting of council’s governance and priorities committee last week, Coun. Pam Mad-
off said the $1.3 million earmarked for public-realm considerations may not be sufficient to fund the desired elements. Council also heard an update on the risk assessment for the bridge replacement project. Dwayne Kalynchuk, director of engineering and public works, discussed insurance risks and legal concerns with council. He confirmed that insurance coverage has also been finalized.
Formal proposals from three construction bidders are expected to be received by Aug. 17, which will give council a clearer sense of ceiling costs. The contract process will then see closed-door meetings held with city staff and bidders to optimize design features. The general building contract will then be awarded, allowing construction to begin before the end of 2012. dpalmer@vicnews.com

rumbs in the keyboard or questionable web browsing history aren’t the only ways to tell who’s been using your computer. A newly patented biometric technology makes it possible to identify the person at the monitor based on keystroke habits and mouse movements alone. The technology, developed over the last 12 years by Issa Traore, University of Victoria professor in the department of electrical and computer engineering and former PhD student Ahmed Ahmed, has the potential to reach well beyond the realm of surveilling a home office. The security of Internet banking, military communications and online testing stand to be revolutionized through the technology. It works by capturing and profiling user rhythms on the keyboard and mouse. This profile is then used to lock out any other users from that account or computer. When applied to password logins, the security protocol can identify users within five or six seconds based on how they type in their password. The protocol can also be set to continuously monitor a computer between login and logout – an application that requires about three to seven minutes of computer use,

Questions you should ask about travel insurance. The summer sees more people travelling over the border, making the most of the warm weather and school vacation. It’s also the time many discover they’re under-insured when they incur steep unexpected medical expenses in a foreign country. These can, however, be easily avoided by asking a few pertinent questions before you go. Do I need travel insurance for a quick trip across the border? Accidents are just as likely to happen on a day trip as any other day at home or at work. Driving on unknown routes could potentially increase the odds. As always, it’s best to ensure you’re fully covered. Does BC Medical Services Plan cover everything? Provincial health care is unlikely to cover all of your medical expenses incurred out of province, or overseas. In fact, the Canadian government recommends that travellers purchase travel insurance when leaving the country because of the extremely high cost of medical care outside of Canada. My credit card automatically covers that, right? You may not have adequate coverage through your credit card plan. Check to ensure you

The plan now includes language supporting the creation of specific greenways between neighbourhoods, and identifies major roadways as “multi-modal transportation corridors.” One of the goals of the visionary community plan is to support walkable neighbourhood hubs and emphasize alternative transportation methods, such as cycling and transit.

Is my work travel insurance plan adequate for this trip? Many plans offered through employers lack certain options, like trip cancellation or interruption insurance. You can purchase these on their own to complement your company’s travel insurance. Also, some employee plans only cover the employee, so if you are travelling with your family, ask your insurance specialist about a family travel insurance plan, for both medical or trip cancellation/ interruption insurance. Do your research and ask the right questions.

Often it is alcohol though, because if it’s a nice summer day, people want to go out and have a drink.” Thetis Lake and Sooke Potholes are two parks constantly patrolled, while Elk/ Beaver Lake, like any other CRD park, is being monitored. “We want park visitors to see the patrols,” she said. “Having the presence in a proactive way addresses issues before they become significant.” nnorth@saanichnews.com

Never too old to put pep in your step Inactive seniors for study on cognitive benefits of walking Natalie North News staff
Phyllis McCormand slings her leg over the back of a park bench at Clover Point on Dallas Road and leans into a deep stretch. Later, she’ll smile before gracefully bending forward and pressing her hands flat against the ground. At 88, McCormand has no problem following personal trainer Kristina Kowalski in a brief stretching session. McCormand cannot, however, participate in a study recently launched by Kowalski, a PhD candidate in the University of Victoria’s school of exercise science and the department of psychology. When she heard Kowalski was looking for 100 seniors to participate in a study that aims to uncover the cognitive and physiological benefits of walking, McCormand was keen to sign up. But she couldn’t – she is already too active. She starts her day with an hour-long walk through Lambrick Park. “She felt that I walked around the park too much, ran up and down the stairs too much,” said McCormand, who also participates in exercise sessions at The Victorian, a retirement residence in Gordon Head. “I don’t specifically pay any attention. I just walk.” Kowalski is recruiting people over age 65 who aren’t meeting Health Canada’s physical activity guidelines of 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity each week, for an eightweek study slated to begin this month. Walking groups will likely take place near the Gorge, UVic, Lochside, Dallas Road and Elk Lake. Kowalski plans to begin groups with lower intensity, 15-minute

Natalie North/News staff
University of Victoria PhD candidate Kristina Kowalski, centre, leads active seniors Bob McMillan and Phyllis McCormand in a stretch near the pathway at Clover Point in Victoria. walks at the start of the study and build to 30 to 45 minutes of moderate intensity by the time her research is through. Findings will be tracked through questionnaires, walking tests and the use of a pressure sensitive mat to measure gait – an indicator of cognitive function, said Kowalski, who holds a bachelor of science degree in kinesiology and psychology and a masters in clinical neuropsychology. “I have a unique background in both kinesiology, exercise science and I’ve always had a big interest in brain health. “There’s a growing need to look at that area, because we do have a larger population of older adults. It’s a rapidly expanding portion of our population and physical activity is a way to promote our health as we age.” Strengthening Kowalski’s argument on the merits of an active lifestyle is 71-year-old Bob McMillan of Victoria – who also didn’t meet the criteria for Kowalski’s study, given that he already walks four to five times each week on the Dallas Road pathway. McMillan has reduced function in one leg as a result of polio as a child. While his leg is the
reason he gave up golfing and skiing, two of his favourite activities, it also caused him to ramp up the activities in which he can still participate, such as routine walks. “You’ve got to do something to keep the body going,” McMillan said. “You do what you can do.” Kowalski aims to develop programs geared toward maintaining cognitive and physical health, boosting independence and quality of life, and reducing the risk of cognitive decline and dementia. “We can’t control things like genetics, but there’s a lot we can do to promote our brain health.” Kowalsi doesn’t just walk the walk when it comes to her academic pursuits. When she’s not crafting her dissertation, she is swimming, running and biking her way around town. Last year alone she competed in nine triathlons. “Maybe if some of the people in a (retirement) home see this, they might be motivated to do the same,” McMillan added.

Licence probe a positive move Depending what side of the fence you sit on, automatic licence plate readers are either another step closer to a Big Brother surveillance society, or a needed piece of technology police can use to nab car thieves and bad drivers. Either way, it is a good decision by B.C. Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham to try and shed light on how licence plate readers work, what data is collected and how it is used. Victoria and Saanich police departments and the regional Integrated Road Safety Unit each use a hightech, high-speed camera which can read thousands of plates per hour and match them against those from stolen and uninsured vehicles, and help identify people without valid licences or those who are prohibited from driving – collectively known by police as “hits.” The Victoria and Saanich police insist they don’t amass and store gigabytes of licence plate image data. That much is true – it’s all passed on to the RCMP, which administers and oversees the licence reader program. All the data is stored on RCMP servers, hits and non-hits alike. RCMP bosses indicate the program could be expanded to help police conducting serious crimes investigations. Victoria-based critics say the plate-scanning program has veered far outside its original mandate to efficiently find bad drivers, and is headed into mass population surveillance, or surveilling known activists. This suggestion seems like conspiracy theory, but it is a fair question to ask how much surveillance people should be subjected to, what data is being collected and kept and how it’s being stored. On days the readers are in use, Saanich and Victoria police officers retrieve an encrypted memory stick from the RCMP with flagged drivers’ plate numbers, which is plugged into the system. At the end of the shift, the collected data and encrypted database is returned to the RCMP. Hopefully the B.C. privacy commissioner can offer suggestions to balance the tension between privacy rights and law enforcement. But that investigation likely won’t be able to probe the most troubling aspect of the automatic licence plate reading program – the collection and storage by the RCMP of the locations and movements of innocent people going about their daily lives. The federal privacy watchdog needs to investigate what the RCMP is doing with this data. Police should have their tools, but civil rights shouldn’t be thrown under the bus. What do you think?

VICTORIA NEWS - Friday, August 3, 2012
OPINION Carbon Trust has run its course growth from new opportunities … (by attracting) offset purchases from private citizens, companies and other governments alike.” That hasn’t happened; the Trust is still a drain on provincial taxpayers – and getting worse. Two years ago, individuals and businesses bought 6,790 carbon credits. Last year, that number fell by more than two-thirds to 2,167. In a free market, that kind of consumer rejection would be taken as a sign to either radically change the model or get out of the business altogether. For government, it’s just another day at the office. Government’s spring 2012 announcement that $5 million of Trust funds will flow back to school districts to lower carbon emissions won’t solve the problem. This will only transfer money from poorer districts to wealthier ones that can afford capital upgrades. And the fund is still only one-third of the total cost to taxpayers – meaning millions more in corporate handouts in years to come. The best solution is the simplest one: scrap the Pacific Carbon Trust and keep our tax dollars out of the pockets of these private companies. While the notion of a carbon-neutral government may sound nice on a website, doing it through corporate welfare hurts both taxpayers and the public services we fund. Jordan Bateman is B.C. director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
Cyclists need to adhere to Motor Vehicle Act
Re: Scientists must hound CRD (Our View, July 25) The ongoing debate for and against sewage treatment in the Capital Regional District has been going on too long. On one side are those whose opinions are based, it seems, on unfounded images of our effluent floating around our waters and deterring the tourists. On the other side are the scientists, who actually study our waters and tell us there is no scientific evidence of any benefit from installing secondary treatment. The scientists who have spent years acquiring their knowledge based on fact, not surmise, are the people whose opinions should be followed. They should speak up more forcibly and insist we hear and understand the true facts: that the money saved would be there for more urgent matters, such as the loss of marine habitat due to development and the impact of invasive and non-native species. Mary-June Pettyfer Oak Bay
A recent edition of the News (July 25) carried an article reporting on two separate accidents, one of which saw a cyclist trapped underneath a truck that was making a right turn. The comment from the Victoria Police Department spokesman was that “drivers should always shoulder check and cyclists also have a responsibility to make themselves visible to drivers.” Rather than putting the onus on drivers to always shoulder check and bikers just making themselves visible, cyclists have a responsibility to act according to the Motor Vehicle Act and ride according to the rules of the road. Being a cyclist myself, I have seen many incidents where cyclists do their utmost to sneak up the inside and go through intersections when the intelligent thing to do is wait, stay behind the vehicle, let them turn right and then proceed. Let’s all be accident-free. Harry Felsing Saanich

Plate reader data use a concern for some Continued from Page A1
Parsons claims the information is already being crossreferenced with child custody and other court records unrelated to driving infractions, but Boucher denies this. “It doesn’t flag somebody simply because he’s got a criminal record,” Boucher said. “These are for hits where we have outstanding action to be taken against an individual.” To resolve these concerns, Parsons and fellow researchers Bruce Wipond and Kevin McArthur submitted their findings to B.C.’s Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner, which set in motion an investigation into VicPD’s use of the technology. Because the RCMP is outside of provincial jurisdiction, Denham’s investigation is limited in scope to municipal police services.
“The investigation will look at general questions like what kind of information (VicPD) are collecting, how are they using it, is it retained or disclosed to anybody?” said Cara McGregor, privacy commissioner spokesperson. Saanich police purchased a plate reader of its own this year and it has been in operation for a couple months. Sgt. Dean Jantzen said the device has “proven its worth” in the time it’s been in operation. “It generates a lot of activity for our traffic safety officers,” he said. Jantzen, though not trained on the machine, reaffirmed that “non-hit” data is never used. “As long as you’re not a suspended driver, that your licence is in good standing, that you have valid insurance, there’s no reason you’ll ever come into conflict with this device,” he said.

Saanich police traffic safety unit member Const. Janis Carmena demonstrates the automated licence plate reader, which scans licence plates and alerts officers of prohibited drivers and uninsured vehicles. The privacy commissioner’s report is due to be published next month and will be the first privacy review of the technology in Canada. In a statement, VicPD Chief Const. Jamie Graham said Automated Licence Plate Recognition is an “incredibly important application that directly contributes to
improved road safety.” VicPD, which began using the program in March 2011, is co-operating with the investigation and has developed internal policies to govern the use of the device, department spokesman Mike Tucker said. – with files from Kyle Slavin and Jeff Nagel dpalmer@vicnews.com

Discovery Island is closed to the public because of a wolf spotted roaming the land, but the Songhees First Nation says most of it is not open to the public at any time. About one-third of Discovery Island and all of the Chatham Islands are reserve land, confirmed Songhees bylaw officer Trevor Absolon. “A lot of people are totally unaware of that.” The islands are not disputed territories, but established reserves that were home to the Songhees people for thousands of years, Absolon said, and a place where band members lived until the late 1940s. “You have to forgive people to a degree because there’s not a lot of information out there,” he said. “People and families have been going out there for decades, but now the Songhees are self-governing and have their own land code.” The islands are marked with “no trespassing” signs, but Absolon said that doesn’t stop partiers or tour companies from using the islands. “There’s a high risk to a beautiful, delicate ecosystem. If one fire gets out of control, it will all be lost.” The Songhees Nation is stepping up patrols to demonstrate its jurisdictional control and ownership of the islands. Signage at Cattle Point and Oak Bay Marina are part of a public awareness campaign. The First Nation will begin patrolling the islands by boat and on foot, with the help of the RCMP South Island Marine Section, to combat the increasing amount of garbage left by trespassers. Violators face up to a $1,000 fine, 30 days in jail, or both if caught trespassing on Songhees land. “Once things are under control we will start some kind of a permit system,” Absolon said. editor@oakbaynews.com

New trial is denied for convicted murderer Judge rejects legal arguments in murdered husband case Edward Hill News staff
Ruby Ann Ruffolo has been denied a new trial and stands convicted of first-degree murder in the death of her husband nine years ago in Saanich. In a written ruling released last week, B.C. Court of Appeal Justice Lance Finch dismissed Ruffolo’s main argument that her second lawyer on her second trial was “ineffective” because he failed to question her daughter Jovanna Ruffolo on the daughter’s whereabouts on the night John Ruffolo was killed. In the appeal court ruling, Finch dismissed an affidavit from Jovanna sworn in March this year that suggested she was at home the night of the murder and that she didn’t hear or see anything out of the ordinary. On Nov. 18, 2010, Ruffolo was
convicted of killing her husband John Ruffolo by giving him a protein shake laced with the drug amtripyline followed by a lethal dose of heroin on Oct. 19, 2003, at their Tulip Avenue home. A few days later, his body was found in a ditch on Humpback Road in Langford. In his written ruling, Finch doubted Jovanna’s recollection of events were better now than in 2004 at age 13 or 14, when she told police she wasn’t sure if she was home the night of Oct. 19, 2003. Ruffolo also argued that her lawyer Greg DelBigio failed to cross examine Jovanna on the daughter’s whereabouts the night of the murder, going against Ruffolo’s wishes at her second trial. The justice noted that Ruffolo didn’t raise this issue until March this year, and had ample chances to do so during her trial. Justice Finch also pointed out Rufollo’s suggestion her daughter was home contradicted her earlier rather detailed notes that Jovanna had spent the night at a

Wilkinson jailbreak leads to trial Kyle Slavin News staff
One of the men allegedly behind an attempted prison break from the Wilkinson Road jail last year is scheduled to go to trial for the incident next year. In July 2011, Saanich police said two prisoners created a large hole in the ceiling of a cell at the Vancouver Island Regional Correctional Centre, a maximum security prison and remand centre on Wilkinson Road. The hole was apparently big enough for somebody to fit through, but it remains unclear
if either man used it to try escaping from the cell. “The circumstances are dramatic and very movie-like,” Saanich police Sgt. Dean Jantzen told the News at the time. The Saanich department investigated the attempted jailbreak and Jantzen gave assurances that the incident posed no risk to public safety. Andrew Jonathon Belcourt, 22, is charged with breaking out of a prison cell with intent to escape on July 12, 2011. He appeared in B.C. Supreme Court this week in Victoria, and a trial date was fixed for March
2013 in B.C. Supreme Court. The same charge was dropped against co-accused Max Higley. The only publicly known escape from Wilkinson Road jail was in 1986 by Robert Moyes, a career criminal later convicted of murdering seven people. Belcourt remains in custody and is also headed to B.C. Supreme Court in September for a pretrial hearing for the murder of Leslie Ronald Hankel in Fernwood on March 3, 2010. Samuel Gregory McGrath is also charged with murder for that crime. kslavin@saanichnews.com

There are two types of owners you might expect at any classic car show, says Ken Agate. “(There’s) the person into building and assembly, then they start another,� says Agate, organizer of Sunday’s (Aug. 5) Oak Bay Collector Car Festival (formerly Blethering Place). “Then there’s (the person into) the shining and caring for them. I’m a bit of each.�
Bill Botting of Oak Bay admits to being that guy as well. “Build them and use them, that’s me,â€? he says, gesturing to his latest rebuild. “I’m going to use it daily. (It’s) very good on gasoline.â€? Botting picked up the 1938 Standard Flying 8 Tourer during the annual Garagellenium sale 10 years ago. “We’ve restored the whole thing. It was in tough shape,â€? he says of the wood-framed car, for which he paid $3,000. “That car’s so rare ‌ there are only two others with left-hand drive in North America.â€? He hopes to bring it down to the Oak Bay Avenue show this weekend – provided he’s able to start it. If it won’t, the Oak Bay senior will resort to his 1969
Jaguar that’s been in the event before. Cars are a hobby that keep Botting, 86, busy. “My wife says, ‘It’s a good thing. It keeps you out of the pool halls,’� he says with a chuckle. Botting already has the basis for next year’s project – a 1956 Morris Minor. He plans to bring it to the 2013 show and shine. Prizes are awarded for crowdpleasing cars including ladies choice; policeman’s choice; furthest travelled – for the car with the longest commute – and best survivor for an unrestored car nearest to its original condition. About 300 vehicles are expected on Oak Bay Avenue between Monterey and Mitchell streets from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

Legendary folk music icon Arlo Guthrie is touring in select cities across North America with three generations of Guthries to celebrate Woody Guthrie’s 100th birthday (July 14, 1912). The Guthrie Family Reunion tour will make its way to a dozen venues and music festivals, including the Butchart Gardens. “Getting the family together and heading out on the road is the perfect way to celebrate my father’s centennial,” said Guthrie. “Only once before did we have the whole family on tour, and we did 80 shows. Instead of doing an entire year of touring and taking the kids out of school, we are focusing on shows right around Woody’s actual birthday. This time of year marks

the climax of the Woody Guthrie centennial celebrations all over the world. I’ll also continue my solo touring in honour of my dad through spring 2013.” The Guthrie family will perform several Woody Guthrie songs as well as various Arlo Guthrie standards and new material written by members of the Guthrie family. “The family’s new songs are a great representation of our heritage. I like the idea of Woody’s legacy being carried forth, not only by performing his songs, but to show how it moves us to write our own songs,” Guthrie said. The Guthrie Family Reunion features Arlo alongside his son Abe, who has contributed keyboards and backing vocals to his father’s live shows since the ‘80s. His daughters Cathy, Annie and Sarah Lee Guthrie, all of who have their own bustling music careers, support by singing songs and accompanying on acoustic guitars. Sarah Lee’s musical partner and husband Johnny Irion will lead songs and lend his stalwart guitar playing. The youngest generation of Guthrie kids will join in the fun on select songs. Arlo Guthrie and the Guthrie Family Reunion celebrating Woody’s 100th birthday is Tuesday, Aug. 7, at 7:30 p.m. at the Butchart Gardens, 800 Benvenuto Ave. in Central Saanich. Tickets are $33 for adults, $17 for youth and $3 for children. For ticket information call 250-652-4422 or go to butchartgardens.com. llavin@vicnews.com

ROOKIE MEETS VETERAN Niki Hodgkinson and Jana Sawyer eye Tour de Rock
N
iki Hodgkinson was 16 when she shaved her head for the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock. Eleven years later she’s riding in the Tour de Rock as a rookie officer with Saanich police. The annual fundraiser she started at Oak Bay high school has been ongoing ever since. “I’ve wanted to get involved since then, and wanted to be (a cop), I just didn’t think I’d be able to ride on the Tour so soon,” Hodgkinson said. The 27-year-old is at one end of the spectrum, while fellow Saanich officer Jana Sawyer is at the other end. Sawyer has worn a badge for 28 years, starting with nine years in the RCMP. The past 19 years she’s been with Saanich, making her one of the longest serving women there. “I’d always wanted to ride the Tour de Rock, but with three teenage boys and a husband with (Victoria Police Department), I needed the support from home, and now I’ve got it,” Sawyer said. Cancer has taken a personal toll on her family. “Lung cancer took my mother-in-law eight years ago and my own mom six years ago when it spread to her brain.” Rookie or veteran, both police officers have learned a lot about bicycling, and a lot about what makes the Tour de Rock such a demanding but rewarding campaign. “As far as cycling, you couldn’t jump into it with this type of training intensity without such a big goal,” Sawyer said. While cycling at this level is new for

Saanich police officers Jana Sawyer, left, and Niki Hodgkinson represent the senior and rookie ranks of the SPD on this year’s Tour de Rock. Hodgkinson, she brings experience to the fundraising component. Oak Bay High can be relied on as one of the highest contributors from the Greater Victoria community, as well as Reynolds secondary. “Reynolds (principal) Alana Charlton was at Oak Bay when I was a student and helped me get the campaign started,” Hodgkinson said. Biking too, was Hodgkinson’s initiative. Seniority usually dictates which Saanich Police officers will ride on the Tour de Rock, but the rookie was ready. “Last year when I got hired the first thing I bought was a (road) bike. But I don’t think anyone’s done Tour de Rock in their first year here. I got lucky.”
Lucky is something Sawyer hasn’t been. Twice she’s taken a spill, the first a dangerous tumble over the handlebars and onto the pavement down Willis Point Road. It kept her away from training for 10 days. Soon after she returned, Sawyer twisted her ankle trying to detach her cleat from the pedal during a speedy descent near Observatory Hill. Sprained ankle and all, Sawyer toughed it up the team’s ascent of Mount Washington last week, their most exhausting day of training by far. “Once you do (Mt. Washington), you know you can handle any day on the Tour,” Sawyer said. “It’s a confidence builder.”

Andrew Russell and Matt Sharpe recently learned what happens when training partners end up racing neck-andneck in the final kilometre of a triathlon. The two Victoria triathletes finished first and second, respectively, at the International Triathlon Union’s Continental Cup race in Magog, Que., on July 21. The final kilometre was a scenario they’d been in many times over the past three years, having linked up dozens of times for training sessions, including many with Olympic team members Simon Whitfield and Kyle Jones. “It was a situation that felt like a session in Beacon Hill Park, just running with your buddy and bringing out the best in each other,” Russell said. But the race mentality is a different world, and even the keen sense of Sharpe, a youngster at 21-years-old, couldn’t Photo by Craig Taylor match the late burst by RusVictoria’s Matt Sharpe, left, and Andrew Russell sell, who finished 16 seconds run together before Russell pulls away to win ahead for the win. the Magog ITU Triathlon Premium Pan American “We could see the turnCup in Quebec on July 21.

SPORTS NEWS IN BRIEF
Top soccer players headed to UVic Some of women’s soccer’s top recruits from B.C. and Alberta have committed to the University of Victoria Vikes women’s soccer program for the 2012-13 season. Striker and midfielder Sarah Douglas,
midfielder Allie Wiebe, striker Sarah Lefebvre, and defenders Nikki Turner, Sam Lee and Erika Groten are expecting to suit up for the Vikes this year. Since 13, Douglas has played competitive soccer in the women’s premier division with Victoria clubs Gordon Head and Gorge. In 2011, Douglas spent the summer as a regular starter with the Prospect Super 20 Highlanders team following her Grade 11 season with 2011 Provincial A Cup winners Glenlyon Norfolk School.

Don’t let Simon wear you down This week Andrew Russell is in London, training with Simon Whitfield and Kyle Jones as the latter pair prep for their Olympic event on Aug. 7. Russell will move on to an Ironman in Europe later this month. Russell’s partnership with Whitfield dates back to 2007 when Russell arrived in Victoria. By 2009 Russell was regularly alongside Whitfield and Jones. Most recently, the trio is part of a highly elite group under the tutelage of Olympic marathoner turned coach Jon Brown. It’s brought Russell to new heights, finally winning his first ITU this year. “Training alongside (Whitfield), a two-time medalist, has raised my game and I cannot thank him enough for that,” Russell said. “It has shown me what is possible with dedication and honest, hard work. The last three years I’ll cherish for sure.” However, Russell said his group is not for everyone. “The expectations and requirements each day with Simon are fierce and it can often wear on athletes. I learned that I am not Simon and I can’t handle the amount of training he does and the pace he does it in. “You need to self-govern yourself within the program to get the most out of it while not getting run-down. “Brown has been great with this aspect. He reads athletes well and balances my training to suit.” guidance of coach Patrick Kelly and the National Triathlon Centre. He’s also trained with Russell and Whitfield, most recently for a two-month stint in New Zealand earlier this year. “We met up with some more worldclass athletes, and it was huge for my development,” Sharpe said.

VICTORIA NEWS - Friday, August 3, 2012
Gathering up all those back-to-school staples W
andering slowly down an aisle in the Staples store in Saanich, Taryn Tuckwell’s eyes light up as he spies the range of new pens and pencils he might use for school this fall. The 10-year-old is typical of the many young students whose families will get help with back-to-school expenses this fall through the seventh annual Staples School Supply Drive. He slips a shiny, chrome pen set off its Don Descoteau hook. “How about this one, Biz Beat dad?” Taryn asks Trevor Tuckwell, a former client of the 1-Up Single Parent Resource Centre and now administrative co-ordinator for the Greater Victoria service provider. For the first time, the three area Staples stores have partnered with 1-Up in the School Supply Drive. The stores are directing a portion of the funds raised to the local organization, which annually collects supplies for client families in need. “We always look at building relationships in our communities,” says Staples’ Fort
Street store general manager Ryan Webber. “We’re trying to make it as seamless as possible and want to help kids in need.” Nationally, Staples raised more than $1 million last year with its School Supply Drive. Locally, the three Greater Victoria stores – downtown, Tolmie Avenue and in Langford – are out to collect $26,000 in supplies and cash donations between now and the end of August. The donations will be passed along to various organizations working with families in need, including 1-Up. This year the resource centre hopes to fill 200 backpacks – valued at between $70 and $100 each, depending on the age and grade of the child. Kari Frazer, 1-Up’s executive in charge of special projects, says the efforts of Staples’ staff in accepting donations and packaging supplies is invaluable, given the large amount of time 1-Up staff spend on the project annually. “I’m not sure we could continue without partnerships like this,” she says. “It’s so vital for parents to get the school supplies and take the stress off.” Customers can make donations various ways in-store. For people wishing to donate to 1-Up at Staples or directly, tax receipts are available for donations of $20 or greater.
Craigdarroch Castle introduces new website The Craigdarroch Castle Historical Museum Society has added some new features to its website, including a video page, photo gallery and an online membership sign-up form, as well as a rebuilt event calendar. The society aims to decrease its reliance on paper and put more money toward programs at the historic tourist attraction.

Trevor Tuckwell, left, of the 1-Up Single Parent Resource Centre, and Staples associate Michelle Hewer stuff items into the backpack of Taryn Tuckwell, 10, at the Tolmie Avenue store. 1-Up clients will benefit from Staples’ School Supply Drive. On Saturday, Aug. 18, Staples at 780 Tolmie Ave., north of the Mayfair Shopping Centre, will host a major fundraiser for School Supply Drive, with activities, food sales and raffles. Other Staples stores are at 100747 Fort St. downtown and 789 McCallum Rd. in Langford.

Financial advisor has fun with his investments
AUGUST 4 – Annual Open House at the BC Aviation Museum, 1910 Norseman Rd., Sidney, with fly-ins, barbecue and family fun, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. FMI: www.bcam.net
You can’t drive your investment portfolio or Registered Retirement Savings Plan across Canada in vintage car tours or cruise your savings to car shows. Trail investment ALYN EDWARDS advisor Leo Salsman CLASSIC takes his own advice RIDES when it comes to having fun with classic cars as investments. He and wife Adele buy a classic vehicle every second year on average. The adventures in buying and driving the classics are many. Salsman is from a family of eight girls and eight boys. His father had a trucking company and his older brothers were into cars. He showed an early interest in mechanics by trying to rebuild his first engine in a 1930 Chevrolet coupe at the age of 10. “We knew every car and used to play a game of guessing what kind of car was coming down the road by the sound it made,” he recalls. He always loved General Motors cars and his first was a 1947 Chevy. After traveling to Port Alberni on Vancouver Island from his native Nova Scotia with his older brother and a friend, the brothers set out to buy cars. Salsman’s brother bought a 1961 Chevrolet Implala. Leo, then age 21, purchased a new 1965 Pontiac Beaumont from the dealer’s showroom in Duncan. The next year, he traded for a new 1966 Chevrolet Caprice and moved to Trail to join another brother in business. He has been a licensed investment dealer with his own company – Salsman Insurance Agency – in downtown Trail since 1979. He still has the first classic car – a restored 1938 Buick sedan – purchased in Spokane, Wa. In 1994, while visiting Adele’s hometown of Lethbridge, he saw a beautiful white 1958 Chevrolet Impala drive by. He chased the car down and bought it on the spot. Adele drove the Impala back to Trail despite never having driven a classic car before. In 2000, Leo and Adele Salsman joined a Vintage Car Club of Canada

tour for a return trip to Newfoundland. They drove their 1958 Chevrolet Impala pulling a vintage travel trailer. During a stop in Brandon, Manitoba, they were told about a restored 1950 Chevrolet one ton pickup truck. Leo later returned to Brandon to buy the truck and drive it home to Trail. “My brother bought a new 1958 Chevy hardtop and I always loved it,” Salsman says. “Also, the same brother had bought a 1955 Chevrolet BelAir previous to the 1958.” Leo added a fully restored 1956 red and white two door hardtop to his collection. His love affair with classic Chevys was further satisfied in 2004 when his barber told him about a stunning red 1957 Cheverolet BelAir hardtop in Post Falls, Idaho. Leo had to pry the fully restored car away from a very reluctant seller who was wooed over a three-hour brunch. Salsman’s 1959 Chevrolet Impala hardtop was first sighted on Ebay. Leo had to find someone who knew how to bid. The car was owned by a General Motors dealer in Winnipeg and turned out to be a very shrewd purchase. In 2010, Leo and Adele Salsman

again hooked up the travel trailer and drove the 1959 Chevrolet Impala on a coast-to-coast return trip across Canada covering 24,000 kilometres. Cruising the internet clicked one more time when the couple hooked into a 1961 Chevrolet Impala in Des Moines, Iowa. The two-tone green four door sedan looks and runs like a showroom model. “The colour knocked our socks off,” Leo says. “We drove it home to Trail.” The couple is now looking for a 1960 Chevrolet Impala and possibly a 1955 Chevrolet BelAir to turn their collection into a perfect set.

Porsche 911 and Cayenne in first place for APEAL METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
For the eighth year in a row, Porsche has successfully maintained its top billing in terms of popularity. The sports car maker occupies the
pole position as the car brand with the maximum appeal in the United States. These were the findings of the latest â&#x20AC;&#x153;Automotive, Performance, Execution and Layout Study (APEAL)â&#x20AC;? conducted by the opinion research centre J.D. Power and Associates.
In addition to the Porsche brand finishing in first place, customers also voted the Porsche 911 as best vehicle in the Premium Sporty segment. The sporty SUV, the Cayenne, likewise won first place (segment: Midsize Premium Crossover SUV).
Both models were given the J.D. Power Awards. Grades from 10 different categories are integrated into the overall score including design, comfort, dynamic performance and suitability for everyday driving.
The Land Rover Evoque was named Most Appealing Entry Premium Crossover SUV in the most recent J.D. Power and Associates 2012 Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study.

According to J.D. Power and Associates 2012 Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study, Jaguar ranks second industry wide among nameplates in vehicle appeal and the Range Rover Evoque is most appealing in the Entry Premium Crossover SUV segment. For the second year in a row, Jaguar ranks second out of 34 brands measured in the industry â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with the Jaguar XJ scoring as second highest large premium car. Land Rover placed sixth (in a tie) among 34 brands, and the new Range Rover Evoque receives the award for Most Appealing Entry Premium Crossover SUV. Jaguar is the second most improved nameplate. The gain is primarily driven by the Jaguar XJ with 901 points â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one of only
three models in the industry to score above 900. The Jaguar brand was also the most improved, and tied for second highest in the industry, in the J.D. Power and Associates 2012 Initial Quality Study. Land Rover placed sixth overall in the industry in a tie, showing that its lineup of luxury SUVs is well regarded by its customers. Leading the Land Rover lineup is the new Range Rover Evoque, which in its first year in the survey scored higher than all other Entry Premium Crossover SUVs. According to the survey, customers of the award-receiving Range Rover Evoque most appreciate its design and fuel economy, compared to its segment. The 2012 APEAL study is based on responses gathered between February 2012 and May 2012 from more than 74,000 purchasers and lessees of new 2012 model-year cars and trucks who were surveyed after the first 90 days of ownership.

Other collector cars owned by the Salsmans include a 1964 Chrysler Imperial sedan, a 1973 Chevrolet Monte Carlo and a 1993 Corvette convertible. All are white. “I love old cars and I’m the number one cleaner and detailer,”Adele Salsman says. The couple’s favorite – the 1958 Chevrolet Impala – has now been completely restored after they drove it for years. “Invest in yourself ” is the couple’s mantra and they are having fun with their Chevrolet classics.

Kia Forte (Cerato) sedan longer, lower and wider METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
The all-new version of Kia’s global best-selling model, the Forte compact sedan (also known as Cerato in some countries), is scheduled to go on sale during the first quarter of 2013 at Kia dealerships in many overseas markets. It will debut in September at the Paris Motor Show. Longer, lower and wider than the current car, with an extended wheelbase, the next generation Forte will be manufactured with an all-new bodyshell structure. Featuring futuristic and
dynamic styling, the all-new Forte features a sleeker profile, LED front and rear lamps and a chrome-finished beltline. All-new Forte, to be called ‘K3’ in Kia’s home market of South Korea, will also boast improved quality, upgraded equipment, a more spacious cabin and a revised engine lineup that delivers class-leading fuel economy. After going on sale in Korea later this year, the all-new Forte sedan will appear at Kia dealerships in many overseas markets during the first quarter of 2013.

Cloud-based HondaLink system creates new in-vehicle connectivity METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
Honda Canada has unveiled HondaLink, a new in-vehicle connectivity system that will debut this fall on the all-new, ninth-generation 2013 Honda Accord. Featuring the first automotive OEM application of Aha by Harman, HondaLink will provide a personalized experience connecting drivers to thousands of cloud-based news, information and entertainment feeds from around the world, using an intuitive, audio-system based interface. Honda’s intuitive new HondaLink smartphone application allows owners to preset content on their phone. Once in the car, consumers can enjoy personalized content accessible via voice recognition, steering wheel mounted controls and in-dash audio system controls. With a tethered smartphone serving as a conduit to a
wealth of cloud-based media, HondaLink creates a unique, connected driving experience. Through the Aha service, for example, HondaLink users can listen to Facebook and Twitter audio newsfeeds, podcasts from NPR, location-based personalized restaurant listings from Yelp!, and access internet music services such as Slacker. The service is free and instantly accessible from the cloud. Aha delivers a user-friendly experience requiring infrequent smartphone software updates, with in-vehicle content and channel access updating simply and automatically throughout the vehicle life. And content available from HondaLink will grow as the system continues to expand its services for Honda owners. HondaLink will also incorporate voice-to-text SMS text services with preprogrammed responses, which Honda introduced on the 2012 CR-V.
