Drug shortage puts strain on pharmacies Six-month drug drought creating headaches for Victoria-area pharmacists Daniel Palmer News staff

The pause that refreshes

Greater Victoria pharmacists are dealing with an extraordinary scarcity in certain injectable drugs. While shortages are common occurrences in the healthcare industry, the supply of anesthetics, narcotic pain relievers and other sedatives has dwindled since the country’s largest manufacturer, Sandoz, reduced output at its sole Canadian plant in February. “It’s been an unusual or unique situation,” said Caren Heughan, Victoria pharmacist and B.C. Pharmacy Association board member. “But shortages are something we deal with on a regular basis.” Heughan, who works at Victoria Compounding Pharmacy, said pharmacists often work around shortages by finding alternative forms of the medication in oral or capsule formats. But in necessary cases, Heughan has been forced to contact drug manufacturers to access an emergency supply of hard-to-find medications. “The manufacturer does have a small amount of these medications on allocation so the pharmacist can sometimes request emergency quantity,” she said. The injectables shortage impacts hospitals as well, but the fear of postponed surgeries from a lack of anesthetics is unfounded, said VIHA spokeswoman Susan Evans. “There’s been a shortage of drugs for a number of months, going back to February,” she said. “It’s an issue that really lies with the supplier.” Sandoz Canada’s plant, located in Boucherville, Que., specializes in the production of specific injectable generic drugs.

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF

Victoria couple leaves gift to hospitals The Victoria Hospitals Foundation is thanking a generous couple for a $100,000 estate donation. Anna Evelyn and John Thomas Goodrick left the donation to the Building Care Together campaign, which helps purchase state-of-the-art equipment for Royal Jubilee Hospital’s new patient care centre. “We know that this kind of donation speaks volumes about the person who made the gift since significant thought and planning was needed,” campaign co-chair Ted Hughes said in a statement. The couple’s family friend, Jim Brownrigg, presented the donation at a press conference at Royal Jubilee Hospital on Thursday. The donation brings the campaign total to $12,435,000.

In praise of water fountains Victoria’s outdoor water fountains offer a refreshing break for walkers, joggers and dogs Arnold Lim News staff

ristie Pugh slows the churning of her legs. In the midst of a 25-kilometre run she halts the pumping of her arms, slowing down just enough to wind down in front of a grey water fountain overlooking Ross Bay Beach. Bikers and fellow runners glide by as she fills her water bottle and takes a long gulp from the fountain. “My runs are longer so I need the fountains to stay hydrated,” she said wiping the sweat from her forehead. “I actually run this route because of the cold air from the beach and the water fountains.” Pugh makes three to five fountain pit stops during her

1.5- to 2.5-hour runs, depending on how hot it is, stopping at fountains she knows are well used. She doesn’t vary her route often because hydration opportunities along Dallas Road are frequent, as opposed to other routes with limited offerings and less pleasant water. “I find the ones in Oak Bay have a rusty flavour,” she said. “I would love to run the (Galloping) Goose but they need more fountains.” Up the road at Clover Point, Reilly quenches her thirst by plunging her face into the water fountain. Cool water drips from her face, water gluing facial hair to her cheeks before her owner tugs on her dog leash and leads the golden doodle away. Many of the fountains in Victoria include an attached dog bowl that fills with fresh water every time the fountain is activated. Allison Green’s dog, Cal, is next in a line longer for dogs than humans and laps up the water below, while Green takes a sip of her own from above.

Golden doodler Reilly takes a drink from the dog bowl at the Clover Point water fountain. “They are a godsend for everyone, for the dog as well,” she said smiling. “Fresh water is survival.” The two of them walk Dallas Road and Clover Point as often as they can, and the Esquimalt

Synagogue opens doors to the public Canada’s oldest Jewish house of worship is opening its doors to the public this month in Victoria. The Emanu-El synagogue, located at 1461 Blanshard St., turns 150 next year and wants to share its stories with residents. Greater Victoria is home to many Jewish firsts in Canada: the first Jewish judge, member of Parliament and mayor were all from the region. Their stories and others will be told by Shoshana Litman, the first ordained female Jewish storyteller in Canada. The Romanesque revival building is one of the last remaining by Scottich architect, John Wright. Half-hour tours cost $5 and run on Tuesdays and Thursdays until Aug. 30 at 11 a.m., noon, 1 or 2 p.m. Doors open 15 minutes beforehand.

resident appreciates the fountains that keep her and her dog cool under a hot, cloudless sky. In addition to dog walkers, runners, bikers and even practitioners of hot yoga, Green believes Victoria’s 33 water fountains serve a social need as well. “We should be helping the elderly and homeless. We have to look out for them in hot weather or provide them with water,” she said. “We have to take care of each other.” Back at Ross Bay Beach, Stephanie Spicer and her husband Tye pace themselves through their weekly five- to 10-kilometre jog. They don’t use the fountain often but are glad to see them. “We have experienced some hot weather recently and having it available for the public is a good idea,” Tye said. Given the off-leash dog parks, I think it is a great thing for (dogs), walkers and kids,” he said, before Stephanie adds, “It is part of healthy living.” editor@vicnews.com

A Victoria woman who was chased by an aggressive deer last week is afraid to walk in her own neighbourhood. Mary-Jo Morin, a Rockland neighbourhood resident, said she was walking her dog Aug. 14 on Rockland Avenue when a deer came within a metre of her and exhibited extremely aggressive behaviour. “I started screaming, my neighbours came out and chased it off,” Morin said, adding the incident is the fourth encounter she’s had with what she believes is the same animal and her fawns. “If she had got me with her hooves or my dog, we would have been really badly hurt,” she said. Morin called a provincial conservation officer, who attended the area but was unable to locate the deer. “He asked me to take a picture of the deer next time. I said that would be a bit difficult because I was running away from it,” she said. Conservation officers rank

Rockland resident MaryJo Morin is ready to defend herself and her dog Zeebo with a golf club, if necessary, from another deer attack. calls by the level of risk to the public, and with only one officer on shift in the Capital Region at any given time, bear and cougar sightings tend to take priority. “We’re getting a lot more calls about aggressive deer, but so far, nobody’s been injured by them,” said conservation officer Peter Pauwels. “Some pets have been attacked, but no people have been injured.” Pauwels said conservation officers have only two options with deer – kill them, or leave

them alone. “We don’t move deer,” he said, adding that tranquilization only occurs when an animal is confined to an area, such as when cougars climb a tree. “If it’s a serious threat to public safety, we’ll have to put it down. But in 20 years on the job, I’ve never heard of a deer attacking a person,” he said. The Capital Regional District’s 10-member deer management committee is nearing its Sept. 5 deadline for a final report on how to deal with urban deer. The public input component of the process closed Wednesday, which will be included along with technical information in the committee’s recommendations. “My feeling is now that it’s probably not going to be a case (where) the board gets the final report and then quickly makes a firm and final decision. I suspect there will be a lot further discussion,” CRD chair Geoff Young told the News. Morin hopes the CRD can come to a conclusion so she can regain a sense of safety in her neighbourhood. “We went through the bunny situation (at the University of Victoria), it took them years to resolve that. Now, there are so many deer around that you can’t walk anywhere. I’ve started carrying a golf club,” she said. dpalmer@vicnews.com

VICTORIA NEWS - Friday, August 24, 2012

New residential care facility begins construction in Saanich State-of-the-art facility will include 260 care units Edward Hill News staff

Greater Victoria seniors needing roundthe-clock care will have a modern 260-bed facility in about two years as construction gets underway this week in Saanich. The seven-storey residential care building is the next addition to the Mount View Heights campus of care on Carey Road, and will replace two existing seniors facilities in the city. The $60.5-million building, called The Heights at Mount View, includes 220 residential care units and 40 dementia care units, funded through a partnership with Capital Regional Hospital District, the Vancouver Island Health Authority and Baptist Housing. Each unit is designed as a private room with an ensuite washroom and a shower, and each floor has a central living area. Howard Johnson, CEO of Baptist Housing said this is a distinct move away from dorm-like facilities built 30 years ago that may have had residents sharing rooms, or using common washrooms. “This is the state of the art, the latest in how we meet the needs of seniors in a home-like environment,” Johnson said. “It’s a setting that moves away from an institutional approach to care. It’s a very home-like environment that creates a better delivery of care.” Under the three-way agreement, Baptist Housing will operate and own the public facility, and has arranged $38 million in financing, the bulk of the capital construction costs. CRHD is contributing $18.1 million in capital costs and is leasing the land to Baptist for 25 years. VIHA will pay annual operating costs, plus funds to pay down Baptist’s loan. “VIHA is very pleased that we can now make real progress in renewing some of the outdated residential care capacity that is in dire

Howard Waldner need of replacement,” Howard Waldner, VIHA’s president and chief executive officer, said in a statement. Unique to this facility are the 40 units dedicated to dementia care, which will allow seniors with early stages of dementia to live as independently as possible, and among people with the same level of mental acuity. Outdated care models tend to group people with light dementia with residents needing more intensive care, which only aids in a more rapid decline of light dementia residents, Johnson said. “We find that when people with light dementia move into complex care, they don’t fit in

well with complex residents. Their level of care needs increases dramatically,” he said. “(Dementia care) is an intermediate step. Independence can be maintained for a longer time and you don’t decline as fast.” The other 220 rooms will be focused on residential care, the highest, most complex level of health care for people who can no longer live independently. Johnson expects the facility to employ about 260 health care workers. Johnson said the building itself will be cutting edge in terms of resident care and safety for its 260 staff members. Each room, for instance, will have a lift-assist machine. The Heights at Mount View will eventually replace Baptist Housing’s outdated Central Care Home and Mount Edwards Court. Both were designed 35 years ago in an era with far fewer seniors needing complex care. The Heights building is planned for seven storeys and that hasn’t changed, despite some

resident opposition during the rezoning process. Saanich council argued that the greater good of the overall project outweighs concerns over height. The former school district property is mainly surrounded by residential neighbourhoods. The 260-bed building is half of a greater project to replace 580 care beds in Greater Victoria. Earlier this year Oak Bay council quashed a plan to revamp Oak Bay Lodge for 320 beds by declining a development variance for Baptist Housing. VIHA expects to tender a new request for proposal (RFP) this year for a 320-bed building in the region. “Baptist Housing is keenly interested at looking at the RFP that VIHA will come out with but until (the RFP) comes out I can’t emphatically say we’ll be applying,” Johnson said. The Heights at Mount View residential care will join Carey Place (55 units of affordable seniors housing), Vergo townhouses (18 units of affordable rental

Remembering where you came from Vic General Hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit celebrates 28th reunion Charla Huber

The hospital hosted its 28th annual neonatal intensive care reunion party on Aug. 9. All of the parents and grandparents bonded with each other and the hospital staff was able to see their formerly sick patients thrive. Those staff helped build some wonderful memories for the Roberts family, including Abbygail’s first party. “On her 100th day in the NICU, I came in and Abbygail was wearing a princess crown. They are our milestones, but not normal milestones,” said Kerri. “It’s really great to see everyone again.” Dozens of past NICU patients filled the VGH rooftop with their families, some young patients recently discharged and others in their 20s. But the emotional day is also a special one for the staff. “It’s just so encouraging to see the big kids,” said Dr. Connie Harris, NICU pharmacist. “When we first meet parents in the NICU they are frightened and confused.” The reunion party is a reminder to Harris and other hospital staff about how their tiny patients grow up and lead fulfilling lives. Harris points out it’s tough

News staff

Anyone who’s ever had a child knows how even a healthy newborn can feel overwhelming. But when that new baby is taken to intensive care, the emotions are almost impossible for most of parents to imagine. For Dustan and Kerri Roberts, it’s an experience they know all too well. Their 17-monthold daughter Abbygail spent her first three months – 155 days – in the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit. Having a sick newborn was only half the struggle for the family. They were also mourning the loss of Abbygail’s twin, who passed away eight days after being born. Throughout Abbygail’s stay at the NICU, the staff not only helped care for the child, but they were there for her parents too. “They really helped with mental support,” said the father. Last week, the Roberts brought their daughter back to Victoria General Hospital, but this time it was to celebrate. They joined other families who have experienced life in the NICU.

Shaylene Evans and her eight-and-a-half-month-old daughter Aryonna, attended the neonatal intensive care reunion party at Victoria General Hospital on Aug. 9. to see tiny sick babies and this party allows staff to see the positive outcomes. It wasn’t that long ago when Shaylene Evans gave birth to her daughter, Aryonna, with a birth weight of three pounds, two ounces. “She was three months early,” Evans explained quietly. “I had a lot of bawling sessions.” The young mother lives in Ladysmith and was able to stay in Victoria to visit her daughter daily through a donation made by the Help Fill a Dream Foundation. She stayed at the Easter Seal House in Victoria and took two buses to the hospital. “I never missed a day,” Evans said. Dealing with a newborn with a collapsed lung and seizures was a lot

for the mother, but she said the care her daughter received from the NICU staff was amazing. While her daughter, Aryonna, has grown into a healthier 18 pound baby, she lives with a chronic lung disease and needs two inhalers everyday. Other than coming to the hospital to celebrate her daughter’s achievements, Evans also came to help another family. She’s meeting a couple whose baby is currently in the NICU with the same lung disease. Evans came to give them support and share her experiences. No matter how long the stay in the NICU, it’s a tough time for any parent to go through. Robyn Copp’s daughter, Shonagh, spent 11 days in the hospital,

after being born six weeks early. Now a happy, healthy nine-and-a-half-yearold, she has no recollection of the tough start she had in life. But for her mother, the memories haven’t faded. “It was such a scary time,” recalled Copp, smiling at her daughter beside her. “She was kind of like a half baked cookie.” charla@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

Playing catchup with care homes W

hen people are nearing the end of their lives, our health system needs public facilities that are safe and respectful, for the residents and their families. The need, while great now, will only increase over the next decades as this population of Greater Victoria ages. In the region, about one in every five people is older than 65. About six per cent are older than 80. Which is why breaking ground on The Heights at Mount View couldn’t come soon enough. Planned for 260 beds, this $60 million residential care facility on Carey Road in Saanich – part of what has been coined “the campus of care” – will replace two older care homes in downtown Victoria. It’s reasonable that some residents in the Carey Road area are peeved a seven storey building is going up in the midst of mainly single family homes. Saanich council heard the protests but recognized that the convergence of having public land, funding partners and the political will as too rare to pass up. Rezoning for density and height makes sense in this case, despite breaking the mould for the neighbourhood. Oak Bay council may want to take a lesson from this. That council denied a few variances to allow Oak Bay Lodge to be redeveloped with 320 care beds. It called the proposed building too big for the neighbourhood. If communities want their seniors to age in place and near amenities, communities have to play ball and be willing to provide the means to do so. There are no perfect locations, especially in urban centres, for large residential care buildings. But they remain a necessary option for seniors who can’t care for themselves. These projects just aren’t about replacing aging beds and old buildings with modern equivalents. As the operator, Baptist Housing, put it, it’s about moving away from the institutional model of caring for seniors. To say it another way, it’s trying to get rid of the warehousing of our most vulnerable citizens.

Which means Saunders is essentially running a year round film festival. Saunders created the weekly viewings in the Eric Martin lecture theatre in 1993, following a stint as an in-patient after his second attempt at suicide. He got an idea to use movies to create a positive environment for people with mental illness, at least a better option than regular TV. He ran his first Q&A in 1993, his first year of running Movie Monday. It was for Benny and Joon, a movie that deals with schizophrenia, with director Jeremiah Chechik. In the 1990s he also ran One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, perhaps the most famed movie about mental health, and spoke with director Milos Forman. Saunders is all for breaking down stigmas around mental health, but he runs all kinds of shows. “The Canadian films in particular of all the films we run are much more creative and important than what Hollywood offers, but people just don’t know about them.” This Monday (Aug. 27) he’s showing Love That Boy, a 2003 comedy from Halifax. - Travis Paterson is the Black Press regional sports reporter. sports@vicnews.com

(Ironically, the study to ignore the evidence: was funded in part by the record high worldwide Charles G. Koch Charitable

Foundation, founded by climate change skeptics with heavy interests in the fossil fuel industry.) Their conclusion? It’s not the sun. It’s not volcanoes. The most likely cause is humans spewing massive amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, mainly by burning fossil fuels. This isn’t news to most climate scientists. As evidence builds, deniers are starting to change their tune. They once said global warming isn’t happening, and some claimed the world is actually cooling. Now, heat records are being broken worldwide – this past decade was the hottest on record. Many scientists say the situation is even more severe than first thought, with temperatures and impacts increasing faster than predicted. Faced with the evidence, many deniers have started

to admit that global warming is real, but argue that humans have little or nothing to do with it. Muller’s study was just one of many to demolish that theory. Our climate has always changed, and natural variation is part of that. But scientists have long known that carbon dioxide and other gases trap heat in the atmosphere. Recent warming is occurring at an unprecedented rate that corresponds to burning fossil fuels. According to NASA, global average temperatures have been rising significantly since the 1970s, “with the 20 warmest years having occurred since 1981 and with all 10 of the warmest years occurring in the past 12 years.” North America just experienced the hottest July on record, and the first seven months of 2012 were the warmest, on

average, in more than 100 years. This evidence has caused some deniers to change their tune again. Yes, the Earth is warming, they say, but whether it’s from natural or human causes, we can’t do anything about it, so we might as well continue with business as usual, maybe employing technological fixes to help us adapt. There’s also a subset of deniers who see some nefarious conspiracy in climate science and “Agenda 21” (a nonbinding, voluntary UN agreement on sustainable development) to impose a world government or something, but their irrational arguments aren’t worth the time of day. The truth is, as most of us know, that global warming is real and humans are major contributors, mainly because we wastefully burn fossil fuels. We also

know solutions lie in energy conservation, shifting to renewable sources, and changing our patterns of energy and fuel use. Scientists have been warning about global warming for decades. It’s too late to stop it now, but we can lessen its severity and impacts. The side benefits are numerous: less pollution and environmental destruction, better human health, stronger and more diversified economies, and a likely reduction in global conflicts fuelled by the rapacious drive to exploit finite resources. We can all work to reduce our individual impacts. But we must also convince our political and business leaders that it’s time to put people – especially our children, grandchildren, and generations yet to come – before profits.

Readers respond: Songhees islands, ICBC, pipeline and speeding taxis Seek ways to keep islands in public use Re: Songhees limit access to Discovery Island (News, Aug. 3) It will be sad to see Chatham and part of Discovery islands closed to public use because of a few inconsiderate jerks. I can understand the Songhees wanting to protect their property from harm and to keep it clean and tidy. My proposal is that the Songhees consider renting the islands to the federal or provincial governments, and let them take responsibility for patrolling and maintaining them, ban all fires, and impose heavy

ICBC offers ‘best value’ to insurance customers Re: ICBC Executives Make Drunken Sailors Blush (Opinion, Aug. 22) Jordan Bateman must not have taken a look at comparable auto insurance coverage or the even more excessive executive salaries in the private sector if he thinks privatizing ICBC will be the solution to higher rates. Independent studies by Statistics Canada and the Consumers Association of Canada have shown public auto insurance gives the best value to customers. Since ICBC was established on March 1, 1974, British Columbians have enjoyed reduced insurance fraud, safer roads and lower rates. Part of this is because, ICBC was designed to operate on a non-profit, break-even basis. So where is the real issue? Executive salaries at ICBC are too high and should be dealt with, but that’s only exacerbated in the private sector. The biggest problem at ICBC, one that Mr. Bateman does not address, is

that the government hasn’t stayed true to ICBC’s breakeven mandate. Christy Clark’s government is treating ICBC as their cash cow, raiding over $1.2 billion from the corporation’s coffers even as they ask ICBC workers to continue their wage freeze and B.C. drivers to pay higher insurance premiums. If there are any savings coming out of the government review, how do we know they won’t be funneled back into government coffers? British Columbians need to know savings will be used to reduce rates for drivers and keep the unionized workforce at ICBC from falling further behind. When Manitoba’s public insurer was found to have overcharged its customers, they gave everyone a rebate. The government’s mismanagement of ICBC hurts both their employees and B.C. drivers. Siphoning off ICBC’s profits was never what was intended for our public insurance corporation. Jeff Gillies Vice-president, COPE 378

‘Ask voters’ best pipeline suggestion so far Re: Ask voters if they want a pipeline (Opinion, Aug. 15) Although B.C.

any piece of scraps thrown B.C.’s way by Alberta Premier Alison Redford. So your editorial is likely the best idea so far that I’ve heard. But as for Clark’s B.C.’s “fair share” ultimatum, hopefully Redford’s foolish, tight-fistedness will give only more reason for B.C.ers and perhaps even our government – not to mention fuel for the eco-warriors’ fight against the project – to just say, to hell with the whole thing.

Taxi speed, driving habits an issue Victoria-wide I read your articles about speeding taxis in James Bay. Taxis are out of control in Victoria – not just in James Bay.

VicPD target those who target tourists Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

Targeting tourists’ cars proved a flaw for criminals after Victoria police set up a series of bait cars in the city last week. VicPD and the Integrated Municipal Auto Crime Team (IMPACT) launched Operation Tourist Trap last week to target car thieves in identified hot spots to combat rising auto crime rates. VicPD reported a 160 per cent increase in theft from autos over

the previous three months, primarily from tourists’ vehicles. Three high-profile offenders were taken off Victoria’s streets. Victoria men Robert Tait, 35, Steven Patterson, 34, and John Koehler were arrested. Police used bait car video to identify suspects. Police also identified a fourth man they hope to apprehend. Combined, Tait, Koehler and Patterson have accumulated nearly one hundred convictions, mainly for property offences. editor@vicnews.com

Sandoz slowed production after a warning letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration identified quality control concerns in February. The company secured a third-party manufacturer at the end of July and anticipates greater supply of anti-nausea, diuretic and pain management drugs soon. “This alternative supply is expected to reach the market over the following months and will be available to Canadian patients before the end of 2012,” president Michel Robidoux said in a statement.

Court set for accused in ID fraud ring

Former motel demolished

Four Mainland men accused in a significant identity theft and stolen credit card ring in Victoria in March won't go to trial until at least next year. At a hearing Friday, a preliminary inquiry into the alleged fraud was set for three days starting July 17, 2013 in Victoria provincial court. The fraud operation unravelled on March 9 when the owner of the Qoola store at Uptown confronted and then followed three men who tried to steal the store's PIN machine. A Saanich police officer going by at the time located the three men in the underground parking lot in a 2000 Mercedes. Saanich police detectives executed a search warrant at the Hotel Grand Pacific, where the men were staying, and found four point-of-sale machines – three of them determined as stolen – computers, tools and equipment used to compromise the devices. Detectives arrested

a fourth suspect at the hotel. The Mercedes contained credit cards and credit card numbers, and the car was seized by police. Police say the men made fraudulent purchases at The Bay Centre, Cactus Club, Hotel Grand Pacific and Strathcona Hotel. David Dang, 24, Rodney Boucher, 32, Nicholas Lakomy, 32 and Domingos Usseni, 40, face a slew of fraud charges, and charges related to forging and stealing credit card information, and possession of stolen property. Each man is charged with between 12 and 17 separate criminal counts. Boucher is the only suspect with a significant criminal record, mainly for petty crimes and assaults in Terrace, Dawson Creek, Surrey and Abbotsford. He was found guilty of fraud and using a stolen credit card in Vancouver last December, and in Whistler in February 2011. editor@saanichnews.com

One bowl can cost upwards of $200. “I am happy that it is rarely served but would be happy when it is not served at all,” Thornton-Joe said. “Unless there are changes in finning, leaving a (finned) shark in the water is atrocious.” In Metro Vancouver, Coquitlam, Port Moody and North Vancouver have also banned possession and use of shark fins, and Burnaby is mulling the idea. In Richmond, which has a large Chinese population, the debate is growing. City council there has agreed to consider a ban, which has restaurateurs up in arms. Saanich council threw its support behind two recommendations which call on the provincial and federal governments to ban the possession, sale, trade and distribution of shark fins. While it is currently illegal to fin sharks in Canada, it is not illegal to import shark fins into Canada. – with files from Arnold Lim editor@vicnews.com

Best known for his powerful guitar licks, Walsh has entertained the masses and captivated his peers for more than three decades with classics Funk #49, Walk Away, Life’s Been Good, and Ordinary Average Guy.

Powering school on science, math Victoria independent school first in Canada to adopt curriculum focused on science literacy Natalie North News staff

This past spring, students in Grades 2 and 3 at Elizabeth Buckley School in Victoria sprouted seeds as part of their study of plants. But instead of memorizing passages from a textbook before watering their seeds, the students formed hypotheses on how the plants might develop and eliminated possibilities through class discussion along the way. “We recognize that the kids learn very well in a hands-on kind of way,” said Roberta MacDonald, principal of Elizabeth Buckley School, an independent school that will become the first STEM school in the country this September. STEM – for science, technology, engineering and mathematics – schools have been cropping up across the U.S. for the past two decades and operate on the idea that literacy in each of these subject areas is as important as the development of language skills. Elizabeth Buckley will officially adopt STEM next month, but the school has long since implemented some of the teaching methods, which favour experiential learning over memorization. “We all recognize that literacy is very important, yet there are kids who feel they’re not very good at science and math, and write that off, saying ‘I’m just not a science person,’ or ‘I’m just not a math person.’” The phenomenon seems to be accepted, particularly with girls around the middle school years, said MacDonald, also an Elizabeth Buckley parent. “But what if your child came to you and said: ‘I’m just not a language person,’ would we accept that?” The school began 25 years ago for students with hearing impairment, but today it serves all students, whether they’re typi-

cal, special needs or gifted. “It’s not necessarily that our kids are different, but we want our kids to see ‘different’ differently than when we were raised,” said Laurie Waye, Elizabeth Buckley parent and co-chair of its board of directors. MacDonald, the former director of Science Venture, a STEM outreach program at the University of Victoria, had run science camps and wanted to find a way to meet an un-met need in science education. Subjects aren’t taught in isolation, rather in hands-on activities that foster discussion and critical thinking, MacDonald said. Music, physical education and math, for example, are taught through a game of clapping and moving to rhythms. Science, art and language are covered when kids create trading cards for various animals and elements of the ecosystem. Lessons on astronomy and First Nation heritage have been taught by local experts, partnerships the school hopes to

educate. It’s supposed to be equitable and accessible for all.” Fifty per cent of the operating costs at Elizabeth Buckley are provided by the province and the other half from tuition fees; $360 per month or $3,600 per year for local students, or $7,200 per year for international students. “We saw the (STEM) research coming out of the States, which was incredibly persuasive and we realized we actually had a really good fit for that curriculum,” Waye said.

MacDonald is involved in developing guidelines for digital literacy – something Waye feels went unaddressed by the public sector. Greater Victoria Board of Education chairperson Peg Orcherton said part of the difficulties within public education is to maintain and upgrade technology under tight budgetary restrictions.

Student achievement goals in the Greater Victoria district are built on literacy and numeracy in the early years to meet the needs of new technologies, she added. “There are so many different pedagogies on education,” Orcherton said. “Education is constantly changing and evolving.

Former world kickboxing champ Stan Peterec to fight in fifth decade Travis Paterson News staff

It’s been awhile since Stan Peterec looked this good. The 53-year-old former world kickboxing champion dropped 45 pounds earlier this year during two months of training and coaching in Thailand. With the lost weight, he’s feeling good. So good, he’s getting back in the ring for the first time in more than a decade. This Saturday (Aug. 25) Peterec is headlining his annual event, Summer Slugfest VI, at Archie Browning Sports Centre. “When you’re fighting at this age, your heart and mind are in the right place,” Peterec said. “But the vehicle that is your body doesn’t run like it did.” Peterec last fought in 2000, a rematch of his 1997 mixed martial arts tilt with Dragyn Yoyanovic at the old Memorial Arena. “Stan still hits hard, which is what he’s known for,” said kickboxer Linsday Ball. The student of Peterec’s is a current world and Canadian title belt holder in the featherweight category, and regularly trains one-onone with Peterec. Until this year, Ball didn’t hold the pads for Peterec in training

sessions. But she now knows what Peterec is all about. “I’ve been bruised on my face and knocked to the ground from training sessions, even with the pads. You have to beware.” Ball spent the better part of the past year in Thailand, where she won a world title and then a world tournament in Korea. Peterec joined her at the same gym in February, and started “dropping weight like crazy.” “All of a sudden I lost 45 pounds, I was training and jogging everyday,” Peterec said. “He has the skills, so to watch him get into shape – it’s scary,” Ball said. “He started to out run me.” Ball is also fighting on Saturday night, against Kate McGraw from

For days like today!

“If I don’t knock (Hebert) out, I’ll have to work like a dog to keep him from killing me.” – Stan Peterec Los Angeles, Calif. “I’ve never seen Stan fight so I’m very excited.” Ticket sales and feedback are evidence that fans are excited to see Peterec back in the ring. Naturally at 53, there are also some who are worried about him, including himself. For starters, he’s fighting a 30-year-old named Tracy Hebert. “I’ve had most of my old pals saying ‘Why are you fighting this guy?’” Peterec said. “‘Take an easier fight,’ they tell me. And here I am taking on an in-your-face, high cardio guy who comes right at you.” About 10 years ago, Hebert came to Peterec’s for a few weeks to train and the two actually sparred, so they know a little bit about each other. Enough for Peterec to know he’s facing a very fit opponent. “If I don’t knock (Hebert) out, I’ll have to work like a dog to keep him from killing me.” Peterec has been organizing kickboxing and MMA fight cards since the ’90s, and fought a few times in the earlier days of MMA. But now he’s returning to kickboxing, the sport in which he was dominant as a world champion.

Travis Paterson/News staff

Stan Peterec hits hard, but at 53, he’s a question mark as a prize fighter for this weekend’s Summer Slugfest VI at Archie Browning Arena. The former world champ wants to join a rare club, with fights in five different decades. Peterec also wants to be the first Canadian to fight in five different decades. “(Panamanian fighter) Roberto Duran is famous for it, and Jack Johnson did it too. But I’ve searched, and asked around, and I can’t find any record of a Canadian

having done it.” Tickets are available at Sports Traders, 508 Discovery St., and Peterec’s Gym, 831 Fisgard St. Doors open at 6, fights at 7 p.m. Also on the bill are local favourites Hal Kreisel, Mike Downey, Alex Tribe and Rob Doerksen.

Players wanted as girls rugby expands CW girls rugby enters year two Travis Paterson News staff

Earlier this year the Canadian women’s sevens team won two of the International Rugby Board’s first world tournaments ever sanctioned. Yet Greater Victoria, the same city that hosts the women’s national program, has no formal youth program for girls. Last year the Castaway Wanderers rugby club changed that by starting one. Marley Riordan stepped up to coach, and this year, CW is hoping to add an under-18 team to its girls program of players aged 11 to 16. “But for one or two high school girls rugby teams, which face their own challenges in terms of numbers, there’s nowhere for teenage girls to play,” said Riordan.

“Now we’re getting interest from some 17 and 18 year olds, plus some of our own players are aging up.” The coach is a former provincial champion with Burnaby Lake, and has coached high school rugby since she graduated high school in P.E.I. If the surname seems familiar, it is. Riordan adopted it from hubby Pat, the long time UVic Vikes forward who captained Canada at the 2011 Rugby World Cup. Marley came here to be an officer with the Victoria police, and is now on maternity leave to care for the couple’s six-month old son, Leis. CW’s girls program was mostly spearheaded by David Crossley, who’s daughter Caroline graduated CW’s mini rugby program. As is common with girls by 11 or 12 years of age, there was a boys team but no girls program to train with. All ages partake in training sessions, and on Sunday mornings the groups will be split into U16

The impact of women’s rugby at the 2016 Olympics won’t be realized until people see it, Riordan says. and U18 groups for competition, hopefully against high school and/ or club teams up-Island and on the Mainland. Youth rugby begins in September. Registration is this Sunday (Aug.

26) from 10 a.m. to noon at Windsor Park Pavilion. Players can also register online at cwrugby.com, or call Ian MacLean at 250-721-1527 for more info. sports@vicnews.com

Kickboxer Varga on world stage World champion kickboxer Gabriel Varga of Saanich has signed a contract to expand his career as a pro fighter. Varga, a former student of Stan Peterec, currently holds the World Kickboxing Network and World Kickboxing Federation belts in the super lightweight weight class of 135 to 140 pounds. The Lambrick Park secondary grad will realize his dreams next month by fighting in the K-1 organization in Los Angeles on Sept. 8. Varga, 24, will face Lerdsila Chumpairtour, 31, who has over 230 fights. Later this year Varga, who was the headliner of Summer Slugfest I in 2007, will achieve another goal, as he received permission to fight for the International Sport Karate Association’s pro title. sports@vicnews.com

VICTORIA NEWS - Friday, August 24, 2012

Club takes direction with general manager Lead executive named to West Coast League team Travis Paterson News staff

One name down, two to go. Owner John McLean of the Victoria Baseball Club introduced Holly Jones as the team’s first general manager at Royal Athletic Park, the team’s home park, on Tuesday. Jones is originally from Oregon but comes with a decorated sales and marketing resumé, including time spent at the National Basketball Association’s head office in New York. She also brings three years experience as the assistant general manager of the Corvalis Knights (Ore.), recent winners of the West Coast League. “This is meant to be an exciting league with promotions and giveaways every night and ideally that’s what we’ll have,” Jones said. As GM she’ll handle the day-today business side of the franchise and was already five days in, she said. First up is the next two names to be added to the club. One is the head coach, more commonly known around baseball as the field manager, who is responsible

has family in Langford and works downtown.” Fortin, McLean and Jones each wore a black baseball hat bearing a white V that resembled the logo of the Stanley Cup-winning Victoria Cougars of 1925. But the hat is just a placeholder, same as the Victoria Baseball Club name, McLean said. Prior to the press conference McLean also clarified any confusion around the role of the GM, which in the big leagues is related to the roster. But there is no trading in the short, 54-game WCL season. The field manager does the recruiting and players sign a new contract every year, as long as they are NCAA eligible, which means they cannot be under contract to an MLB team. As for the stadium, Jones said she’s looking forward to using the Daktronics video board, which was installed and is owned by Darren Parker, owner of the now-defunct Victoria Seals (2009 to 2010). “I’m not entirely up to speed VICTORIA Travis Paterson/News staff on the (agreement of use) for the VICTORIA VICTORIA VICTORIA Holly Jones addresses the media at her introduction at Royal Athletic Park on Tuesday morning. scoreboard but we’ll do some digJones is the first general manager of the soon-to-be-named Victoria Baseball Club of the amateur ging to figure it out.” West Coast League, which begins in 2013.

ooke RCMP Const. Steven Martindale is one of 18 Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock riders who will cycle the length of Vancouver Island to raise money for pediatric cancer research next month. Originally from the Okanagan, Martindale, 39, has served with the Sooke RCMP for the last five years. After attending “How often do you and assisting get a chance to with various do something like Tour de Rock events as a this and make a police officer, difference?” Martindale became – Const. Steven interested in Martindale participating as a rider. “I was always asked, ‘When is Sooke going to have a rider?’ So I just decided, ‘Hey, I would do it,’” he said. His decision to participate was made definitive two years ago, when he had a growth removed from his head two days prior to the annual Cops for Cancer Red Serge dinner. Fortunately, the growth was later determined to be benign,

Pictured from left: Isaiah Beddows, 8, Aeron Waygood, 4, Martindale, Chase Burket, 7, and Hunter Burket, 11. which strengthened Martindale’s resolve to participate in the arduous bike ride. “How often do you get a chance to do something like this and make a difference?” Martindale asked, adding he also had plans to participate three years ago, but was unable due to a knee injury. “We’re simply just riding a bike, which is the easy part. It’s the kids who have to go through treatment, they’re the real heroes out of all this.”

Martindale has also lost an uncle and cousin, who had two young daughters, to cancer. “We’ve all lost someone, it’s kind of the one great unifier that everyone has a cancer story.” Although the Tour de Rock is a test of physical endurance, Martindale said it’s also about being part of a team, supporting a greater cause and bringing deaths from pediatric cancer down to zero. “Kids shouldn’t have to go through cancer,” he said. “Zero’s the number that

we’re striving for.” Along with regular training rides, Tour de Rock riders also attend regular events -- one of which was a visit to Camp Goodtimes in Maple Ridge, a camp for children with cancer. He said the experience was “uplifting,” as many of the children, although sick, behaved as they should -- like kids. The riders held a casinothemed fun night for the children, where many laughs were shared. To be able to give happiness back to a child who’s going through chemotherapy or cancer, is priceless, Martindale said. Although seemingly reserved and stoic, Martindale said it will be emotional once the ride begins Sept. 23. “It’ll be very emotional, too, going through all of these towns and seeing the support that perhaps the RCMP hasn’t had lately.” Tour de Rock riders will travel from Port Alice all the way down to Victoria over a 14-day span. The cyclists fundraise for their 1,000-kilometre bike ride to help raise money for pediatric cancer research and programming for children with – or who have had a history with – cancer.

Private museum holds family history

Events & Activities...

Greg Sahlstrom came home from the Trail hospital in his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1928 Chevrolet. That same car is now restored and is the cornerstone of a private museum on ALYN EDWARDS the property his father CLASSIC homesteaded in the RIDES 1920s at Blueberry Creek outside the city of Castlelgar. Mr. Sahlstrom Sr. purchased the touring car in 1934 and immediately cut the back body off. The rear seat became a living room couch and the car became the farm truck. Greg recalls his mother attempting to learn to drive the Chevy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She kept circling around until she drove right through her beet patch. That was the end of driving for her.â&#x20AC;? Greg and his brothers did learn to drive the old Chevy. In 1956, he and his brother set up a saw mill on an adjacent property and installed a dump box on the Chevy to haul sawdust. The old Chevy was finally parked in a shed and there it sat for years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One day, I thought I would see if it would run. Three turns of the crank and it started right up,â&#x20AC;? Greg says. Another of his brothers started a Sunday school and installed a box on the rear of the old vehicle to transport kids to church. In the 1940s, Greg and his brothers knew of a six cylinder 1928 Packard that an uncle was no longer using, and their mother traded an old shotgun for the car. Gregâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s older brother removed the entire body except for the cowl and hood and used the car for years to haul hay. That vehicle is also still in a shed on the

property. Greg Sahlstrom was always impressed with that big powerful old Packard. He learned about a 1930 Packard Club Sedan parked in a field outside Kettle Falls, Washington, and, ignoring the dilapidated condition of the old vehicle, dragged it home for restoration. He spent 20 years collecting parts before starting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a mega project,â&#x20AC;? he says. Everything was done in his shop, with the mechanical restoration completed with assistance from son Jason who has a full machine shop on the property and specializes in mechanical work for vintage vehicles. The restored maroon Packard has received a spectacular restoration. Greg demonstrated the smooth-running eight cylinder engine with a toonie balanced upright on the cylinder head. The Packard features a Bijur Lubricator system that greases 34

points on the chassis with the push of a button. The barn housing Greg Sahlstromâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extensive classic car collection has a loft containing many historic items used on the property or elsewhere over the past century.

One-of-a-kind 850hp 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 Cobra a tribute to Carroll Shelby the help of a Ford Racing 4.0-litre Whipple supercharger. Putting that much power to the ground requires plenty of traction, so the 13-inchwide rear wheels are wrapped in massive 345-section high-performance tires for extra grip. Ford Motor Company teamed up with Shelby American for several key components on the Carroll Shelby tribute car. Shelby American provided a specially designed hood, new rear wide-body kit, Shelby Wilwood brakes and new 20x13-inch rear and 20x10-inch front wheels. The bodywork is finished in the same Guardsman Blue with Wimbledon White stripes that graced so many of the Cobra roadsters built in the 1960s.

Friends of Carroll Shelby, including Ford Motor Company, Shelby American, Ford Racing and many others have built a unique 2013 Shelby GT500 Cobra as a tribute to the late automotive designer. Ford is also announcing a renamed road at its Product Development Center in Dearborn, Mich., as a tribute to Shelby as well. Cobra has been the consistent performance label as Shelby worked with Ford for most of the last 60 years, and Shelby was instrumental in the creation of Ford performance vehicles including Cobras, the GT40 and Mustangs since the mid-1960s. The unique tribute car was unveiled at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion where Cobra is the marque of show for 2012. Using the 662 hp 2013 Shelby GT500 as a foundation, “Friends of Carroll” created the one-

washboards as well as automobile and service station memorabilia. The car storage area contains other trophy cars like an ultra rare 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk restored with its original supercharged V8 engine coupled to a standard shift overdrive transmission. “The car was purchased new in Boise, Idaho and the original owner claimed to have driven that car at 140 miles per hour (225 kph) at the Bonneville Salt Flats. Greg Sahlstrom treated the rare Studebaker to a full restoration. His 1956 Ford Victoria hardtop was also purchased in Idaho and has most of its original Fiesta Red and Colonial White paint. Another rare car is a 1948 Mercury business coupe that only has a front seat with a trunk that extends right into what is ordinarily the rear passenger area. The car was originally owned by the bookkeeper employed at the now closed Sullivan Mine in Kimberley. Greg Sahlstrom bought the car from the estate of a man who purchased the Mercury from the original owner and then spent the next 30 years restoring the car, but sadly passed away before he was able to drive it. A Firemist Red 1976 Cadillac Eldorado convertible is Greg’s most contemporary classic. The restoration of his award-winning Lombard blue 1930 Ford Model A deluxe roadster began with the acquisition of a trunk lid in the hamlet of Nakusp. Then he just had to find a car to put it on. That came with the opportunity to buy a very rough Model A roadster in Crawford Bay on Kootenay Lake for $1,000. Ironically, the car had a wooden box for a trunk. And the trunk lid he had purchased proved to be essential for the full show quality restoration he completed on the car. Greg Sahlstrom enjoys taking his cars to local shows in the Castlegar and Trail

Allergies are a modern epidemic I used Bell Allergy Relief #24 for 2 years. I tried numerous other remedies all my life that were not effective. Since I discovered #24 I do not have a stuffy nose and itchy eyes when pollen season comes around. No problem working with hardwoods or O.S.B. sheeting. I don’t have to walk around like a doped zombie anymore. Leonard Waldner, 44, Delia, AB Last 4 years in spring I had allergy attacks with runny nose, sore throat and headaches. Just 2 capsules Bell Allergy Relief #24 brought relief. Belinda Wilfong, 41, Hillsboro, MO For 20 years my life was miserable with sneezing, watery eyes and sinus pressure year-round on most days. I was amazed. On 3rd day all allergies were gone. #24 It was like magic. Becky Gerber, 25, Dover, OH Golfing without allergy attacks I It really works! 100% tried all the medications and none worked. After taking 1 capsule in the morning I’m completely free of all symptoms. Richard Gamez, 74, San Antonio, TX God bless you natural. Try it risk free.

WRIST PAIN

Bell Carpal Tunnel Syndrome #30 gave quick relief within an hour. I was hand milking cows and began having weakness, numbness and pain shooting up my arms. Pain increased at night. My doctor suggested surgery as the only option. Not true! The pain and numbness are all gone after taking #30. I can do now whatever activity I want. Marjorie Wilson, 55, Dubuc, SK I’m a car mechanic. Holding tools was getting increasingly difficult because of wrist and tendon pain. After 2 weeks on #30 I’m fully productive again. Cancelled scheduled surgery. William Marrero, 56, Miami, FL I was wearing wrist braces. A woman saw it and told me she had relief right away with #30. I got some same day. It worked for me as well. Thanks a million. Diane Frank, 49, North Battleford, SK I’m a nurse and work with my hands all day. I experienced increasing pain in my hands and fingers. Surgery was the only option I was told. My husband found #30 for me. I have no more pain or inflammation since. You have a life long customer. Nina Wallace, 52, Dacula, GA No need to make claims. Bell relays #30 100% truthful user’s free speech. No money is paid for it. No questions asked guarantee.

Bladder & Yeast Infection Bladder & Yeast Infection #31 works within a day or two! My experience in the last 4 years is that whenever I feel symptoms of an infections I take two capsules for a day or two and the infection is gone. I love this product. Pat Pearce, 53, Brantford, ON 30 years of bladder infections gone! For 30 years my doctor prescribed antibiotics. As soon as the medication finished the next bladder infection came back. After 2 days taking Bell # 31 I noticed a complete relief of my infection I had all these 30 years. God bless you all for helping all of us women. Emell Whitaker, 69, Bronx, NY Bladder infections kept on coming back. Since starting Bell Bladder & Yeast Infection #31 my infection was gone and I now take it from time to time for prevention and I have no more bladder or yeast infections. I told family and friends how good Bell products are. Thank you! Maria Racz, 60, Vancouver, BC Went to the bathroom 10 times in an hour and more frequently at night!. In the last 2 years I went a number of times to the doctor and got different antibiotics and none of them worked. My urination would burn enormously. I bought your Bell Bladder & Yeast infection #31.

Jaguar enhances global product offering with all-wheel drive METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM

Jaguar has announced allwheel-drive versions of the XF and XJ sedans will be available in selected markets for the 2013 Model Year. Offered where consumer demand is highest – often driven by climate – the all-wheeldrive models will increase the capability and versatility of the XF and XJ in conditions where grip is compromised. North America, Russia, China and continental Europe will account for the majority of sales

for the new AWD models which are powered by Jaguar’s new 3.0-litre V6 supercharged 340 hp engine. North America is the world’s leading market for AWD sales and initially more than three quarters of the AWD models produced at Jaguar’s Castle Bromwich factory in the UK from October 2012 will be sold in the US. With the new addition to the XF and XJ ranges Jaguar will compete in approximately 80 per cent of the luxury saloon market, four times its previous opportunity.

Infiniti’s nationwide Red Bull Racing show car tour visits Victoria Infiniti Canada is bringing the championship-winning, Red Bull Racing show car to Infiniti dealerships across Canada, stopping in Victoria next week.

The public is invited to Campus Infiniti, at 3361 Oak St., to see a replica of the car that took the Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team to World Championship status in 2010 and 2011.

The tour also offers a chance to win passes to the Formula 1 race in the United States Nov. 16 to 18. Enter to win an all-inclusive trip to the Formula 1 race in Austin, Texas, and be entered for

a local draw to win a pair of framed and mounted racing gloves signed by 2011 Formula 1 World Champion, Sebastian Vettel.

Victoria Hyundai lends a hand to Chemainus Legion As a former service member, when Victoria Hyundai general sales manager Macon Doublet heard about a recent break-in and theft at the Chemainus Legion, he knew he wanted to help. “I was pretty upset that somebody would try to steal from people who try to help others,” says Doublet, a former member of the Army in Edmonton. It seems many others feel the same way. Doublet and his team at Victoria Hyundai set out to raise $5,000 for the Legion, and by spreading the word through the dealership’s staff, clients and 16,000-plus Facebook followers, they’ve already reached close to $3,000. Events such as a barbecue and

dunk tank have been a big hit, but plans are also under way for 50-50 draws and at least one more big fundraiser. Of course, people don’t need to wait for a special event – funds are also being collected at the dealership, or they can contribute to the Chemainus Legion directly, Doublet says, adding that more ideas are also welcome. “It just shows that people are responding. I posted on Facebook asking for ideas about what we could do and people are coming up with really great ideas.” For more information, stop by Victoria Hyundai at 525 Gorge Road East or check out their Facebook page at www.facebook. com/VictoriaHyundai

Many car owners fear in-car connectivity technology is distracting and dangerous METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM

More than three in four car owners (76 per cent) said in a recent survey they believe in-car connectivity technologies are too distracting and even dangerous to have. In addition, more than half (55 per cent) said automakers have taken technology for road use too far. These are some of the results of The Harris Poll of 2,634 U.S. adults (ages 18 and over) of whom 1,991 own or lease a car, truck, minivan or SUV. Beyond fearing how connectivity technology may impede driver focus, a strong majority of car owners (62 per cent) also worry about how technology may interfere with their privacy, including where and how they drive. Just over two in five U.S. car owners (41 per cent) believe that their insurance rates could increase because of what in-car technology reveals about their driving habits. This is more of a concern among younger drivers between 18 and 35 (46 per cent) and men (46 per cent). Three in five (61 per cent) view their car as a haven from the outside world and don’t want to always be connected while driving. Yet, more than half of

car owners find that in-car connectivity makes driving more enjoyable (58 per cent) and makes them feel safer (57 per cent) while on the road. Men in particular enjoy having connectivity in their cars (64 per cent) more than women (53 per cent) and feel safer with technology on-board (61 per cent) compared to women (54 per cent). The trend of embracing in-car technology is clearly generational. It’s the Baby Boomer generation that finds staying connected while in their vehicle the least important. Only 39 per cent of car owners 50 to 66 think in-car connectivity is important compared to 58 per cent of those who are between 18 and 35. When it comes to new car purchase decisions, two in three car owners between 18 and 35 (66 per cent) say that the vehicle’s technology has some or a great deal of influence on the next car they choose. This drops to just (46 per cent) for those between 50 and 66. For those new car buyers interested in entertainment and connectivity technologies, 24 per cent state that they would consider the option of docking their smart phone in their vehicle compared to just 14 per cent who would consider having their entertainment applications built-in.
