Downtown pedestrian safety revisited
Enter the dragon As close to a hundred teams descend on Victoria this weekend for the annual dragonboat festival, one team takes its first steps into the dragon’s den
Daniel Palmer News staff
arm Ollek’s arms and legs are burning. Gripping her wooden paddle, she plunges it into the water alongside 19 other paddlers, their dragonboat knifing through the waterway. Despite the pain, final preparations for the Canada Dry Victoria Dragonboat Festival are going well and Ollek feels fortunate to be on the water. “It is totally fun. I am higher than a kite, I really am,” she said. “I am experiencing something totally out of my box.” You wouldn’t know it, but the business systems co-ordinator for Maximus Canada had never done anything athletic in her life. Ollek and most of her teammates spend their days at a desk – she doesn’t even remember the last time she felt like part of a team. That all changed a year ago after discovering dragonboat racing as a volunteer. “I couldn’t believe what a wonderful event it was. The energy, it was so positive,” she said of last year’s festival. “I absolutely loved it and I walked away that weekend and said, ‘I really like this. I want to do this.’” Ollek decided to form her own boat, recruiting colleagues at work to form the newly minted Maximus Power, named after their company.
The downtown Victoria intersection where a 27-year-old pedestrian was killed is unsafe for buses, according to B.C. Transit’s CEO. The fatality occurred Monday, when a tour bus was turning left from Humboldt onto Douglas Street around 10 a.m. Yuka Imaizumi was crossing the street legally at the time and was hit by the bus, according to witnesses. “We deemed that as not a particularly safe turn,” said B.C. Transit CEO Manuel Achadinha. “It’s not an intersection we use in our routing.” While commercial trucks are subject to multiple street-use restrictions, tour buses are able to roam freely under city bylaws. The only exception in downtown Victoria is Swift Street near Chinatown. City council downtown liaison Coun. Lisa Helps said the overarching focus should be on creating pedestrian-friendly spaces rather than restricting tour buses. “The proactive approach is that pedestrians are more vulnerable than vehicles,” she said, adding she would like to see tour bus restrictions on two-lane roadways like Government Street.

UVic on path toward fall strike Labour board to rule on essential services after negotiations fail Kyle Slavin News staff
University of Victoria students may be greeted by picketing support staff when classes return in early September. Last month, mediation between two unions – CUPE 917 and 951 – and the university on essential service levels failed. Three days of hearings (Aug. 21, 22 and 24) have been set for both parties to plead their cases to the Labour Relations Board before it adjudicates essential services and staffing levels. “(UVic) came with a long list of jobs they deemed essential,� said Doug Sprenger, president of CUPE 917. “I can’t be specific. Let’s just say our list of (essential jobs) was short, and their list was long.� Kane Kilbey, UVic’s associate vice-president of human resources, said in a July 20 notice posted online: “It continues to be the university’s desire to reach a negotiated settlement at the earliest possible opportunity. We remain hopeful that this can be achieved without a major disruption.� The two CUPE unions, which represent some 1,500 non-teaching jobs such as tradespeople, food service staff, childcare workers, and office and library staff, are negotiating in concert with one another. They have both been without contracts since March 31, 2010. Students won’t face disruptions in the classroom, but could find limited cafeteria or library services, depending on essential services levels set by the labour board. Sprenger said they want to respect students’ education as much as possible, but noted they’ll be providing information to students in September on what to do when faced with a picket line. “We think that students returning to the University of Victoria have a very strong interest in getting this labour dispute resolved, and feel it’s an important time to resolve it,� Sprenger said.

University of Victoria paint shop employees Len Ashmore (with paint sprayer) and Rob Barton (with ground glass) repaint crosswalk lines on Ring Road as they get the campus ready for the new school year. Unions representing UVic employees remain far apart from UVic management, and can’t come to an agreement on essential service levels, let alone a contract. “It’s a time when all eyes are on the university and students anyway, regardless of any disruptions.� Loree Wilcox, CUPE national servicing rep, told the News last month the unions and UVic were “too far apart� for any negotiation progress to be made. According to CUPE, there remain nine areas of dispute between the union and the employer, including job security, benefits and inflation protection.
Late last week, CUPE B.C. said in a press release, “The B.C. Liberals are (fast-tracking) a new plan to slash jobs and money from B.C.’s already hemorrhaging college and university budgets.� CUPE said the province’s administrative service delivery transformation project could mean privatization of union jobs at post-secondary institutions. “It appears the plan is to be implemented for the 2012-13 school year. What is not
clear is exactly how many jobs are at stake,� the press release reads. A spokesperson from the Ministry of Advanced Education who asked not to be identified wrote in an email that CUPE’s concerns are premature. “Neither the government nor the institutions have any predetermined idea of how savings and improvements will be achieved,� the spokesperson wrote. kslavin@saanichnews.com
Bound man gives RCMP the silent treatment Kyle Wells News staff
West Shore RCMP are scratching their heads over a man who showed up at a Shell gas station in the 2700-block of Spencer Rd. at 2 a.m. on Aug. 4, asking for scissors to cut himself free from the plastic zip-tie his hands were
bound with. The 22-year-old, who refused to speak with police after they were called to the gas station, also had cuts to his face. He had a ripped shirt, had been pepper sprayed and was wearing only one shoe. Despite the man’s suspicious appearance, RCMP let him go because he refused to cooperate
with them and there was no reason to arrest him. Later that day, at around 8:20 p.m., police were called to Victoria General Hospital after a man had been admitted with a stab wound to his stomach. It turned out to be the same 22 year old. He had been picked up by ambulance at the intersection
of Spencer Road and the TransCanada Highway. Hospitals are required to notify the police of all patients with gunshot or stab wounds. Again the man refused to speak to police. Police are unsure if the stabbing happened at the same time as the other injuries or if it happened between the man’s two
encounters with police. RCMP are looking for any information anyone might have on the case. Sgt. Max Fossum said the man is a resident of Victoria and is known to police. Fossum could not speculate on what might have happened to the man. editor@vicnews.com

ommended. Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom appointed a review panel in March after complaints that the provincially appointed COURTENAY B.C. Transit board was making costly changes without consulting the communities, whose fares and property taxes cover more than half the cost of transit service. “I feel vindicated by the report, as do my colleagues around B.C., I’m sure,” said Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard, indicating that Lekstrom has promised to respond to the recommendations during the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference in September. “It shows that those of us in local government had cause to be upset and concerned.” Joe Stanhope, chair of the Regional District of Nanaimo, was on hand with Lekstrom to release the report Tuesday. Stan-
Report recommendations ■ A local government advisory panel to consult on system-wide capital expenditures ■ Local governments should share information on long-term transit budget changes, land use and zoning decisions ■ The province should amend the B.C. Transit Act to allow multiyear operating agreements ■ B..C Transit should report to municipalities twice a year on ridership, cost per capita, passengers per capita and other performance measures.
hope said the recommendations of the review team are “exactly what we wanted. “There were some problems, and the basic problems were communications,” he said. CEO Manuel Achadinha said B.C. Transit admitted the governance model required modernization and the report provides concrete steps to make that happen. “We’ll operate under the governance structure provided to us by the province,” he said. Stanhope raised the alarm in 2011 after B.C. Transit notified local officials of a doubling of management fees, after municipalities had adopted their budgets for the year. Nanaimo also protested a plan to move some
of the community’s new buses out and replace them with older ones. The provincial government pays 47 per cent of costs for B.C. Transit service in partnership with 58 local governments. B.C. Transit has a target to double its ridership to 100 million passenger trips by 2018. When he ordered the review, Lekstrom ruled out any increase in the provincial share of funding. On Tuesday, he declined to comment on specific recommendations until they have been reviewed and discussed by local communities. – with files from Tom Fletcher dpalmer@vicnews.com

introducing pedestrian scrambles, Helps said, where drivers are stopped in all four directions to allow pedestrians to cross to any corner of an intersection. “That’s a smart, simple and easy way to remedy the problem,” she said, particularly at a five-corner intersection like Douglas and Humboldt. Helps said she would like to see the downtown core speed limit restricted to 30 km/h as well. “They’re two really easy, cheap solutions and preventative measures that we could implement immediately.”

Esquimalt eyes design advisory panel Daniel Palmer News staff
Esquimalt council is taking steps to create an advisory design panel for future building permits, and it may only cost a catered lunch. The township already has an advisory commission to review new building applications, but it lacks the technical expertise to make architectural recommendations. “We have two geographers and a biologist on our panel cur-
rently. I cannot professionally critique an architect’s work,” Bill Brown, director of development services, told council. The voluntary panel would be made up of architects – solicited through the University of British Columbia’s Architect Institute – as well as experts in heritage, possibly even crime prevention to advise on design features. Coun. Tim Morrison expressed concerns about adding another layer of approval to new building permits, but

Brown assured council the panel would run in parallel with current approval timelines. “It will encourage quality work, and that is something that we seek,” said Mayor Barb Desjardins. Staff will now draw up a bylaw for the creation of the panel, to be discussed at council’s next meeting on Monday (Aug. 20). Similar design panels are already in place in Victoria, Vancouver and other Lower Mainland cities. dpalmer@vicnews.com

to gel even more in time for this weekend. “Dragonboating is the definition of teamwork. If you don’t interact as a team in the boat, there is a negative effect,” Barton said. “Everyone feels great about contributing to someone other than themselves. This is hard. After every practice they are burnt out, but they are smiling. It is great.” Ollek is smiling, despite the aching in her body. As captain of Maximus Power she is focused on the team, a team that spreads much farther than just the 20 people on the boat. “My values are such that I want to give back to the community anyway I can,” she said. “It is in my heart to do these things. It is what I believe in.” editor@vicnews.com

It’s about time for online voting D
uring Canadian federal, provincial and municipal elections, the number of ways to cast a vote is slim. You can show up to your polling station on election day, vote at advanced polls, or with special permission, mail in your ballot. Voting in the vast majority of places in Canada has resolutely remained stuck in the past – ticking off a ballot with a pencil. Technological advances have been confined largely to optical counting devices. A few municipalities have flirted with touch screen voting machines and telephone voting for municipal elections. Last week, B.C. became the latest government to announce that it will examine if voting options should be brought into the 21st century, namely casting a ballot via the Internet. The federal government has already said it wants to try online voting in a by-election by 2013. With low and declining voter turnout in all jurisdictions in B.C., giving people convenient options to vote can only be a good thing. There’s no guarantee Internet polls will crack the apathy of the non-voting public, but there’s a good chance younger adults might finally be engaged in the election process. Political parties might be forced to take young people seriously. Of course there are serious technical and psychological hurdles to cross. The public needs to have confidence that voting via the Internet still means anonymity and integrity, and that their vote will be counted. Election officials need to have confidence in a system that will allow people to vote only once, and that can’t be hacked and seeded with fraudulent results. The May 2012 federal NDP leadership vote, which allowed members to cast votes online, showed both the strengths and weaknesses of the system. The voting website was subject to attempted sabotage by hackers, which slowed the voting process, but who failed to compromise actual voting results. Internet voting and its technology remains far from perfect, but it deserves a chance, alongside our trusty pencil and paper.

In general, the media supply us with stories of the here and now – there’s a reason they call it “news” – not recaps of old stories that we cheered in days gone by. The fact that certain specialty TV channels show NHL, NFL or NBA finals from decades past, however, is a sign that some of us want to relive old glories, and apparently are willing to pay for the privilege. We absolutely need to recognize the efforts of our Olympic athletes. After all, we don’t have many other opportunities to exhibit national pride, especially with a certain government in office in Ottawa. But to expect people to keep carrying the torch much longer than when the next stories catch our attention is unrealistic. – Don Descoteau is the editor of the Victoria News. editor@vicnews.com

Parading your vessel It looked like a parade of boats at the entrance to Victoria’s harbour as one Victoria Clipper ship and a Harbour Ferry were inbound while another Clipper ship and a private yacht were outbound on a sunny summer morning.
LETTERS Biblical idea of marriage cherry-picks passages Kyle Slavin, in “Want gay fries with that?” (The Gen-Y Lens, Aug. 10), said, “... the majority of those who don’t support same-sex marriage probably operate ... on biblical principles ....” What Biblical principles are those? There is no Biblical definition of marriage as between one man and one woman. There is 1 Timothy 3:12, which states: “Let deacons marry only once” (in contrast to Catholic unmarried priests). There is no indication of the gender of the marriage partner. Many Biblical marriages were polygamous. Abraham pretended his wife was his sister, and pimped her out for his personal safety, as well has having a child by a servant. Noah had children with his daughters. The two most beautiful Biblical love stories (whether there was intercourse or not) are between two men (David and Johnathan), and between two woman (Ruth and Naomi). There are same-gender marriage ceremonies in early church documents, discovered by John Boswell. Most who base their opposition to equal marriage rights on a verse in Ecclesiastes seem content to ignore more numerous instructions forbidding pork, certain sea foods, mixed fabrics, women speaking in church (1 Timothy 2:11-14), as well as the injunction not to judge others. If one is to cherry-pick Biblical verses, there are better verses to select. It is a pleasure for me to perform weddings for loving couples, regardless of gender. Rev. J. McRee Elrod Unitarian minister (retired) Metchosin
Stand firm against P3 sewage treatment The Greater Victoria Water Watch Coalition urges the CRD to recall, and remind the provincial and federal governments of the many meetings at which we and other groups and individuals
spoke out against a Public-PrivatePartnership (P3) approach to the sewage treatment project. We urge the CRD not to bow to seniorlevel government pressures in favour of a P3, and to reject any grants from them conditional upon a P3. If the seniorlevel governments continue to mandate the project, then they must be made to understand local conditions and concerns, and that local taxpayers will not be bullied by them. Do our provincial and federal politicians not realize that we understand that in the end, the users – the taxed public – will pay, except that we will pay far more if we go the P3 route? What the provincial and federal governments are doing, by inflicting these P3 conditional grants on the CRD, is an attempt to make them look good now, while loading the costs on to future generations through multi-decade P3 agreements with any profits generated by the system going to business corporations, not local corporations. Nancy Stuart Saanich
Sewage treatment project will hit cost overruns The public should be aware that the much publicized cost of $780 million for regional sewage treatment is not much more than a guestimate, plus or minus 25 per cent at best. A 25 per cent increase in cost on this project will almost double the amount the local taxpayer has to fund. In discussions with the CRD, it seems as if very little of the necessary detailed engineering to produce a definitive estimate appears to have been done. There are doubts about the ability of the CRD to give “due diligence” to a project of this nature and size on behalf of the taxpayer. Recent large municipal projects have had overruns well in excess of that 25 per cent, and there is no reason to believe that the sewage project will be any different. Bear in mind, too, that this plant has a finite life. It is designed to last 25 years, at
which point all or part of it will need to be replaced. Like your car, it wears down. If there is a decision to go ahead, then the most reasonable and least painful way to introduce water treatment would be to phase it in over a period of 25 years with smaller modular plants at say, three year intervals, costing no more than $50 to 80 million each. It’s still a substantial investment, but certainly a better way to control cost overruns, and which gives you the opportunity to see if and how it works. We need to continue to ask questions of the CRD, and request a public forum with their engineering department to better understand their capabilities and how they propose to conduct this project. Tony Rose Saanich
Carbon trust program is full of susceptible holes Jordan Bateman exposes an example of the foolishness of carbon credits in his Aug. 3 guest column “Carbon Trust has run its course.” Apropos his point that such schemes would be rejected in a free market, the Chicago climate exchange collapsed (but Al Gore made millions from it before then). There will always be people who try to take advantage of something they shouldn’t. Europe’s carbon credit trading schemes were scammed, in one case the U.K. government had to force the price of something to zero to plug a loophole among laws that would have cost taxpayers huge sums. European governments lost billions trying to prop up carbon trading. The risk is especially high with an irrational theme such as the blamehumans-for-climate-variation scam. A few decades ago many Canadians were hurt by low quality installation in the government-promoted foam-in-place insulation business. Today governments and private investors are losing money from investments in solar and wind power, as they failed to recognize limited life of
equipment and the need to accommodate the varying output of those sources of energy (expensive energy storage schemes are needed). Will voters put a stop to the nonsense in forthcoming elections? Keith Sketchley Saanich
Returning to the NDP is akin to returning to an ex-spouse Consider this if you are planning to vote NDP. B.C. has a triple A credit rating. It is a “have” province and has the second lowest basic income tax rate in Canada. You would never take back a former spouse to recreate a nightmare, but we are willing to do it to change the government. As B.C. is a business-investment province and investment does not agree with NDP governments, can the NDP guarantee that you will not get a layoff slip from your place of employment, if, in fact, they become government?

If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t travel to Mars, going to this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Star Party in Metchosin might be the next best thing. Astronomers from across Greater Victoria are gathering at the Metchosin municipal ground for a weekend of gazing at stars, watching solar storms and camping out. The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada-Victoria Chapter hosts the party, which is open to the public. Metchosin astronomer Sherry Buttnor leads a workshop called Astronomy 101 for anyone wanting to learn the basics. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also host a guided telescope walk tonight (Aug. 17). During the day, Buttnor said many members will have their telescopes set up to watch magnetic storms on the sun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absolutely true you are never supposed to look at the sun unless you have the proper equipment.

You are invited to a mela. The third annual Indian Mela returns to Victoria’s Centennial Square this weekend where organizer Sabba Sall believes new experiences await Victorians at the two-day festival. “Mela, in our language, is a celebration,” Sall said. “It is very common in India, going back 4,000 to 5,000 years. It is the sharing of food, dance and song – an opportunity to get together.” Food booths decorated in Indian decor sell traditional fare alongside entertainment and fashion shows, each celebrating the sights and sounds of the Indian culture. “It is a step into a whole other way of life,” Sall said. “We want

It is an opportunity for the Indian community to show a part of themselves, who they are and where they come from.” “(We) are proud of two things, of being Canadian and being Indian. This is an opportunity to display (our) pride,” Sall said. The talents of established performers from the Lower Mainland, including Grammynominated musicians Aslam and Bombaytrained Kathak dancer
Prajakta Trepan, join dozens of local musicians and dancers. “It is not every day I can dress up in an Indian Bhangra,” said Saanich resident Casmine Pandher. “It feels amazing to be recognized by the community. It makes me proud.” The 18-year-old Claremont graduate performs at the mela with dance troupe Apana Virsa for the third time. Having seen the audience grow every year, she is excited to perform in front of another large crowd. “Our everyday life isn’t super traditional,” she said. “When these opportunities come up, it is important to remind yourself of your heritage and the richness of the art we have.” The 2012 Indian Mela at Centennial Square is held today (Aug. 17), 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Saturday (Aug. 18), 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. All events are free.

harm if it was released to the public,â&#x20AC;? Bratzer said. Esquimalt council was in favour of terminating policing services with VicPD and creating a 35-member RCMP detachment, a move it claims would have saved $2 million annually for local taxpayers. But the province overruled the request in June and provided a mediatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report that put forward 43 recommendations to Victoria and Esquimalt. They include changing VicPDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Victoria-Esquimalt Police Departmentâ&#x20AC;? as well as urging greater regional cost-sharing on policing for the downtown core.

Getting fit and staying fit for life is a wish for many seniors, Making it happen can sometimes be the bigger challenge. At 71, Victoria resident Barbara Dicker decided to take control of her Åtness. “I realized I’m at an age where if I don’t get Åt, I’ll lose whatever I have,” she said. Although she’s an avid walker, she’d started gaining weight and was feeling less steady on her feet. She decided, “It was now or never.” Getting Åt was a good choice for Dicker: statistics show that seniors who exercise experience Q SUSAN LUNDY numerous health FEATURE WRITER beneÅts, including improved immune function, better bone

density, prevention of chronic disease and cancer, better digestion and lowered risk of heart disease. Exercise is also a natural mood booster, so Åt seniors are happier seniors. However, seniors also face a number of barriers when it comes to participating in Åtness-related activities. At Saanich Commonwealth Place, where Dicker joined aerobic and strength-building programs, Åtness technician Kamran Rad said transportation is often the biggest obstacle facing seniors who want to get Åt. “Due to mobility and agility issues, many seniors can’t drive,” he said, noting this substantially limits their access to programs. Even among seniors who do drive, some

suffer vision problems or feel uncomfortable driving early in the morning, at dusk or after dark, limiting the time of day – especially in winter – when they can attend programs. Seniors also tend to barricade themselves in the house during snowy or icy weather conditions for “fear of falling and breaking body parts,” Rad added. Transportation is a difÅcult challenge for programmers to solve, but there are other steps recreational facilities can take to become more “seniors friendly,” such as offering orientation sessions, discounts and face-to-face registration for those
uncomfortable with signing up for programs online. “It can be frustrating for seniors who aren’t computer savvy,” Rad said. “We actually offer computer courses speciÅcally for seniors.” At the Crystal Pool and Fitness Centre in Victoria, programmer Josh Taylor describes ways in which rec centres can make Åtness more accessible to seniors. At the Crystal, both water and dry-land seniors’ programs

Boomers to Seniors
Lifestyle discoveries There is a wing of the 55-plus club that refuses to age gracefully. For years I was its standard bearer. I have watched Q BRIAN KIERAN contemporary COLUMNIST Boomers transition with dignity into their senior years while I have been dragged kicking and screaming through the golden portals. It has not been pretty. It’s not that I haven’t got the message along the way. The age-o-gram with my name on it arrived unexpectedly, in my late 50s, in the middle of the night after an evening of great fun on Pender Island. The pain in my chest was of heart attack quality, but instead of dying I just hurt worse and worse. Tempting as it must have been to let me writhe on the Æoor, my family called 911 and a rescue mission went into high gear. Volunteer Årst responders and paramedics had me evacuated to the island clinic in record time. A doctor was roused from bed and accurately diagnosed a very serious gall bladder failure. A helicopter was summoned and I was whisked to Victoria General Hospital. Days later I was informed by the surgeon that I would have been dead in 12 hours had not the Åre and rescue response been so efÅcient. He also made it painfully clear

Help see the island music scene survive Producer hopes to keep, grow Island Music Awards Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
The Vancouver Island Music Awards, hosted eight of the last 11 years, is on the brink of broke. Prior VIMAs operated on a $5,000 budget each year, with no profit. “We need to be able to justify doing it again. That means having the funds and have the awareness,” said producer James Kasper. “I see it as an important event, but it needs to be important to the community on the rest of the Island. A lot of people do realize there is a music scene here on the Island but not everybody is in that loop.” Last month he started a campaign to get 50 businesses to support the awards with $100 each. “It’s been going for about three weeks and we’re up to a little over $700. It’s not much, we need a bare minimum of $2,000 just to
move forward,” Kasper said. The first stage, advertising a call for submissions, is set to start in September if the funding comes through. The event usually happens in April. Ladysmith artist Ryan McMahon hopes to submit again this year after scoring three awards at last year’s Fairfield event. “I’ve been doing it for 10 years professionally, although largely unrecognized, so to be recognized especially at home, that’s big,” he said. “The coolest part was getting to learn about other musicians right in my own back yard and that’s just as a music fan.” He’s among those who crossed the water to spend time pursuing his craft in Vancouver. “When I came home (to the Island) there was a huge part of me that thought ‘my music career’s going to really slow down’. The cool thing was was that I got the itch to play immediately,” McMahon said. “I realized (the awards) was going to be something that could generate awareness.” The jury liked his acoustic solo
for 2012. Afterward, McMahon toured Western Canada again. When he hit Winnipeg, the media asked about the Island awards. “It really had a far, far reach and totally helped my career,” McMahon said. McMahon is among VIMA’s previous hosts, speakers and presenters that include Neil Osbourne of 54/40, The Irish Rovers, Vince Ditrich of Spirit photo courtesy of PlayInVictoria.net of the West, Ryan McMahon of Ladysmith, 2012 artist of Terry David Multhe year, performs during the April 21 event at ligan, and David Fairfield United Church.

cial Guests) – named artist of the year at the inaugural event in 2002. “It’s been a launching pad for musicians like Hayley Sales, who was named female vocalist of the year several years ago,” Kasper said. “That’s an important aspect of it, empowering local musicians to move their career forward. The whole idea is for this to be one night of the year when all facets of the music scene on the Island can come together, celebrate the scene, network and hopefully bring awareness of local musicians to the general public.” For details on sponsoring the 2013 event email info@ jameskasper.com or get details at islandmusicawards.com. cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

When Paul O’Brien uprooted his family from England and moved to Victoria eight years ago, he thought he’d left his music career behind. “We just fancied a change,” he said, recalling his attempt to settle down as a St. Andrew’s high school teacher. But to satisfy his creative itch, O’Brien convinced his three children to start busking with him along Government Street in the summer months. “The whole busking thing was absolutely a hobby,” he said. “We’ve been amazed by how popular it’s become.” The musical family — made up of Millie, 18, Cormac, 16, and 15-year-old Fintan — has been creating a mix of Celtic, bluegrass and classic family voices ever since. “The power of the four voices together is what it’s all about,” O’Brien said, who has since revived his solo career and has been picked up by an agent in Germany. “My plan is to take the kids on tour to Europe,” he said. “I think it would really fly.” To celebrate the recording of their first family album, the O’Brien’s are hosting a concert tonight (Aug. 17) at 7:30 p.m. at St. Michael’s University lecture

Arts grants maintained Tom Fletcher Black Press
The B.C. government has provided $16.8 million for community arts and culture grants for the current year, matching last year’s total with help from a dwindling 2010 Olympic legacy fund. Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Ida Chong announced the funding Monday in Victoria, along with B.C. Arts Council chair Stan Hamilton. The BCAC has juries that assess funding applications, and has already doled out about $6 million of this year’s budget. With less than half the money allocated in Chong’s current ministry budget, another $6.75 million came from the 2010 Sports and Arts Legacy. That $60-million fund was created in the 2010 budget to offset earlier recession-driven cuts to adult arts and sports organizations from provincial gambling revenues. It will be gone after this year, and there is no indication where it might be made up next year.
When the recession hit in 2008, the B.C. Liberal government cut grant funding from the B.C. Lottery Corp. from $156 million to $113 million, then raised it back to $120 million to restore funds to school district parent advisory councils. Applicants were told that arts and sports funding from lotteries would be restricted to organizations for young people and the disabled. Premier Christy Clark promised to restore funds while campaigning for the party leadership last year. Once elected, she announced a $15 million increase in gambling funds for a range of organizations including community service clubs, fairs, festivals and museums. Chong said she sometimes meets artists and organizations who are not aware that they can apply to the B.C. Arts Council for grants. Greater Victoria recipients of funding include the Pacific Opera Victoria Society ($90,000), the Victoria Symphony Society ($86,000), Victoria Minor League Hockey Association ($63,000), Victoria United Soccer Association ($8,400), the Pacific Rim Field Lacrosse Associa-
Library app attracts new readers Daniel Palmer News staff
The Greater Victoria Public Library is seeing a surge in online interest, after releasing a free app that lets users easily search for bestsellers and rare finds alike. More than 600 people have downloaded the library’s mobile app, including 126 users in Europe, since its launch last month. “People can be in a bookstore in Paris, and if they see a book they like and want to get it when they come back to Victoria, they can just scan it and see if it’s here,” said Alyssa Polinsky, GVPL communications
manager. Published books are equipped with unique barcodes that allow the app to easily search for titles, she said. Perhaps the most appealing feature of the app is that it functions as a digital library card. “You can also place a hold on books, the same as you would on the website. … It shows me how many holds I have, whether I have fines, and uses GPS to find my nearest location,” said library IT manager Dan Phillips. To make the most of the app, users need to have a library account. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Junior paddler fourth in world
Travis Paterson/News staff
Long distance runner Randy Duncan of Victoria is running the Fat Dog 120-mile endurance race from Keremeos to Manning Park this weekend. In June Duncan and girlfriend Lori Herron did the Easter Seals 24-hour relay at UVic’s Ring Road, completing 165 km. • The Fat Dog 100 was first held in 2010 but some runners realized the course was actually 124 miles on their GPS, and it is now advertised as a 120-mile race. • Fat Dog gets its name because once it reaches Manning Park it follows the Fat Dog Trail.
• Training runs for Duncan are up 50km. One route he enjoys is from Thetis Lake to Mt. Work. “When you run this much, you find all kinds of new trails and it’s surprising what connects around the Island.” sports@vicnews.com
Kaufman challenges for MMA title Travis Paterson News staff
Victoria’s Sarah Kaufman is back in the cage this weekend. Kaufman will fight Ronda Rousey in hopes of re-acquiring the Strikeforce mixed martial arts bantamweight world title Kaufman lost to Miesha Tate last year. The fight is Saturday night in San Diego, and will be aired on Superchannel. It’s the first defence of the title for Rousey, who’s thrived on the media spotlight since winning the belt from Tate. With UFC parent company Zuffa having bought Strikeforce, and due to the growth
of MMA overall, publicity for the fight has eclipsed all previous female fights and is bringing the women’s side of MMA to new heights. The match also captures several of the ongoing controversies found in women’s sports. Rousey, a media manipulator, cited her own beauty above Kaufman’s, part of a ploy to aid her marketability which Kaufman called classless. Kaufman’s initial reactions were also quite candid. On Wednesday, Rousey was featured in a one-sided, all-access show on U.S. cable channel Showtime. sports@vicnews.com
Victoria’s Isobel Glover was fourth in the single event U16 500-metre race at the Va’a World Sprints held in Calgary earlier this week. Glover, of the Victoria Youth Paddling Centre, won 10 medals at the recent B.C. Summer Games.
Black Eagles second at B.C.s The Victoria Black Eagles pee wee AAA baseball team finished second in the province Sunday. The Eagles lost 5-1 in the championship final to the top-seeded Cloverdale Spurs. During the round robin the Black Eagles finished second in their pool, going 2-1. They scored five runs in the first inning of the semfinal, en route to a 9-6 defeat of the Abbotsford Angels. The summer all-star team is composed of 12- and 13-year-old boys from Saanich, the Peninsula and the West Shore, representing the Greater Victoria Baseball Association.

Gorge paddlers sweep K1 provincials Travis Paterson News staff
Two weeks ago Levi Rasmussen, Patrick Dann and Elias del Valle swept the podium in the under-18 K1 sprint at the canoe/kayak provincial championships in Burnaby. That same week, they were spurred on by the Olympics, when they stayed up past 4 a.m. to cheer on Canadian paddlers Mark Oldershaw and Adam van Koeverden, who each won medals. “It’s a good time for competitive kayaking,” Rasmussen said. As a result of their success at provincials, all three are headed to the 2012 Canadian Sprint CanoeKayak Championships in Dartmouth, N.S., from Aug. 22 to 25. Dann led the way at provincials, winning the men’s under-18 K1, with del Valle and Rasmussen finishing second and third, respectively, in that category. Dann
Travis Paterson/News staff
Victoria athletes Levi Rasmussen, Patrick Dann and Elias del Valle are headed to the 2012 Canadian Sprint CanoeKayak Championships next week. and del Valle paired up for a K2 win too. It’s not yet known just how many events each will race at Dartmouth, though they’ll all be in the K1 200-, 500- and 1,000metre sprints for sure. “Right now I’m really happy just to be going to nationals,” Rasmussen said.
All three will start Grade 12 at Vic High in three weeks. That’s where Dann and del Valle, who’ve both raced over five years, convinced Rasmussen to come out to the Gorge Rowing and Paddling Centre to take up the sport last year. sports@vicnews.com

RIDING
FOR MOM West Shore Mountie rides in Tour de Rock in honour of his mother Charla Huber Black Press
B
eing a rider on the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock is a personal mission for West Shore RCMP Const. Harrison Teed. When he was 14 years old his mother was diagnosed with cancer. “When I was so young I didn’t know; I thought she was going to die,” said Teed, adding his mother has been cancer-free for 11 years. “It was tough for me to deal with this at 14, and now I try to picture myself (in the place of my mother) let alone two, three and five years dealing with this.” More people are surviving from cancer than they were a decade ago and Teed credits that to the hard work of cancer researchers and fundraising efforts like the Tour de Rock. When he told his mother what he is training to do she was happy and proud of her son. While Teed enjoys cycling, gearing up for the tour is what has gotten him back on the bike. “It’s been probably over five years since I’ve been on a bicycle,” Teed said. Now he rides upwards of three days a week. “Although it’s hard work riding and training, it’s absolutely nothing compared to what the kids are going though. Those are the ones who are suffering,” Teed said. Teed has been with the West Shore RCMP detachment for four years. He grew up in Eastern Canada and his father was also in the RCMP.

When Pat Comey went to see his 95-yearold mother in West Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Inglewood Lodge on Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, she excitedly asked: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is my buggy outside?â&#x20AC;? It was. Her silver blue ALYN EDWARDS 1965 Mustang looks CLASSIC just like it did in the RIDES 1960s when Bea Comey would travel the steep roads of Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s North Shore for trips to the Woodwardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Food Floor at Park Royal Mall and Friday hair appointments at Errolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Style Studio in Edgemont Village. Pat Comey was an impressionable 13-year-old when his father came home with the three-year-old Mustang 2+2 Fastback on Aug. 8, 1968. Pat Sr., a china and glassware salesman, had spotted the car parked at the front of the tradein lot at Brentwood Dodge in Burnaby. He secured the car with $50 deposit and came back to complete the deal for $2,000. This first edition Mustang Fastback that had travelled only 32,000 miles (51,000 kms), was the coolest car to young Pat, who was just about to enter high school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think he bought it for mom so he could drive it himself,â&#x20AC;? Pat says. In fact, his father drove the car every week. Ford Motor Company introduced the Mustang with amazing interest from all age groups on April 17, 1964 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; five months before the 1965 production

year. They became known as 1964 1/2 Mustangs. The stylish 2+2 Fastback wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t available until four months later to be sold as 1965 models. In an 18-month period, Ford sold more than one million Mustangs and the Fastback is among the rarest and most sought-after body styles. A proud moment came for Mr. and Mrs. Comey and their 1965 Mustang when Dick Lau and Dan Souder of Cam Clark Ford in North Vancouver invited them to display their original car in the showroom for the introduction of the 2005 Mustang GT Fastback. The Comeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1965 model sat beside the newly redesigned 2005 Mustang GT in a
similar silver blue colour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dick Lau made my mother feel like a Queen for a Day,â&#x20AC;? Pat Comey recalls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When my parents arrived, he handed my mother a dozen roses and treated her like royalty. She was so proud of her car.â&#x20AC;? Pat Comey Jr., now a car salesman at Jim Pattison Hyundai in North Vancouver, learned to drive on his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mustang. His father would take him to the nearby Capilano Mall to let him circle the parking lot. Pat Comey Sr. enjoyed driving his wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mustang so much, he would take it up to Cypress Bowl Lookout once a week from their home at the base of the Continued on Pg. B2

mountain when he was well into his 80s. In 1999, when he was 84 years old, Beatrice Comey told her husband the time had come to give up driving the car. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to give the car to the boys,â&#x20AC;? she said referring to son Pat

and his older brother Larry. Thieves had tried to steal the car from the parking garage and had broken the mirror off, putting deep scratches in the paint. They had also broken the ignition lock in a failed attempt to start the car. Once he was given custody of the car, Pat Comey Jr. had it completely repainted in the original silver blue metallic.
Pat Comey with his parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; original 1965 Mustang 2+2 Fastback and his matching Windveil Blue 2005 Mustang GT convertible.
The car now has travelled 113,000 miles (182,000 kilometers) and is regularly displayed at Greater Vancouver Mustang Association shows along with Pat Comeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more recent acquisition â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a 2005 Windveil Blue Mustang GT convertible. Although the two cars were built 40 years apart, the 2005 Mustang GT has a retro look and they look like a matched set. Next year will mark the 40th anniversary of Pat Comeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grad class from North Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Handsworth Secondary School. He plans to take his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mustang to the reunion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My classmates will remember the car from our high school days,â&#x20AC;? he
enthuses. His father passed away in 2005. His favourite car was always the Mustang and it was present at his funeral service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keeping the car is a way to honour my parents,â&#x20AC;?

You won’t hurt RUTH the robot’s feelings if you disagree with her, but it’s very difficult to prove your point given her opinions are backed by mathematical evidence. Thanks to the Robotized Unit for Tactility and Haptics (RUTH) machine, which arrived in North America earlier this year, Ford knows its 2013 Fusion has an interior that customers want. Quality can be difficult to express, yet when customers sit in a high-end car, they know by the feel of the trim and the touch of the buttons that the car is special. The sense of touch and the intuitive understanding of quality are innately human characteristics, but how do you measure them? The answer: use a RUTH. RUTH allows engineers to quantify vehicle characteristics such as softness, roughness, temperature, hardness and comfort. This allows Ford to tailor each vehicle interior to exactly what a customer group wants. The RUTH robot is a giant arm with six joints, programmed to poke the trims, turn the knobs, push the buttons and interact with many of the vehicle’s interior areas in the same way a person would. For years, Ford’s quality interiors resulted from worldwide studies where customers tested various parts, documenting their preferences. RUTH won’t change that. But now, RUTH is involved from beginning to end to determine the feeling of quality. First, RUTH premeasures interior samples. Customer test studies are then conducted, and after the results are tallied, RUTH supplies the data to implement the finest option into mass production. In other words, quality is no longer a guessing game. As a relatively new resident to North America, RUTH, first introduced in Europe, is found only in Ford’s product development centre. The robot has already helped engineers improve the quality of many parts of the car.

Just released photos of the 2103 Honda Accord Sedan (shown) and Accord Coupe reveal the ninth-generation Accord to be the most sculpted version yet.
2013 Honda Accord will debut with premium and sophisticated styling METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
Honda has revealed the first images of the much-anticipated all-new 2013 Honda Accord Sedan and Accord Coupe, set to go on sale this fall. The most sculpted Accord ever delivers an even more spacious and luxurious passenger cabin wrapped in an upscale, sophisticated exterior designed to stand the test of time. True to the spirit of Honda and every Accord before it, the ninth-generation embraces a customer focus from the inside out. Smart interior packaging allows for increased passenger and cargo space in both the sedan and the coupe, while the overall exterior lengths are noticeably shortened, contributing to a sportier driving character and easier parking. An expansive greenhouse and generous rear seating area provide excellent levels of visibility and comfort for the driver and all passengers. On the road, an overall aerodynamic shape combined with low-drag exterior surfaces including nearly flush windshield glass, flush-mounted windshield wipers and careful under-body tailoring promise enhanced fuel efficiency. Premium details like available LED daytime running lights, headlights and taillights hint at the sophisticated technology and luxury available inside.

Nissan has unveiled its contender for the iconic London Black Cab market.
Nissan unveils a bold new vision for the London ‘black cab’ METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
Nissan has unveiled a bold new vision for the future of the London ‘black cab’ and its 300,000 daily users – the Nissan NV200 London Taxi. The NV200 London Taxi will offer significantly reduced CO2 outputs compared to current taxi models – a focus in line with Mayor Boris Johnson’s Air Quality strategy for London. An all-electric e-NV200 concept is also set to undergo trials in the Capital. The Mayor has joined disability groups and the influential London Taxi Drivers’ Association in welcoming the launch of the Nissan NV200 London Taxi.
Taxi versions of the NV200 have already been unveiled in Tokyo and it has also been chosen as the exclusive New York City ‘Taxi of tomorrow’. The NV200 London Taxi joins an exciting global Nissan vision for the private hire industry. The Nissan NV200 London Taxi comfortably seats five adults – three on a rear bench with two on rear-facing, folddown seats. The front passenger seat has been removed to create space for luggage. A standout feature is the taxi’s sliding passenger doors, which were developed for easy open and close. They are also much safer for pedestrians, cyclists and other vehicles because they do not swing out to create a potential obstruction.

Jaguar F-TYPE to debut in paris METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
The F-TYPE, Jaguar’s all-new aluminum two-seater sports car, will make its global debut in production form at the Paris Motor Show on September 27. The F-TYPE will be launched as a convertible with a choice of three gasoline engines: 340 hp and 380 hp versions of Jaguar’s all-new 3.0-litre supercharged V6, and a new derivative of its existing supercharged 5.0-litre V8. All will drive the rear wheels through an eightspeed transmission and will be equipped with Stop/Start technology. Following the F-TYPE’s ‘camouflaged’ public drive at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in June of this year, testing of the final verification prototypes
has continued in some of the harshest environments in the world. More than half-a-million separate F-TYPE design analyses were carried out comprising 10-million CPU hours of processing, creating more than 300 TB of data. Had that same amount of initial design analysis been completed on physical cars, the number of prototype F-TYPEs built would have filled the majority of the UK’s motorway network bumper-to-bumper. The result of all that ‘virtual’ design work is that Jaguar’s engineers are currently concentrating on honing the performance of the physical verification prototypes, to ensure the production F-TYPE delivers truly focused sports car driving reward.
