Tour de Rock prepares to take Island by storm

Homeless numbers holding steady in Capital Region

Alberta may have the reputation as Canada’s most Conservative province, but it has the first and only provincial government in Canada to commit to ending homelessness.

This commitment helped Calgary reverse its growing problem, said Tim Ritcher, president of the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness.

“At the end of the day, provincial policy change will be the single most important factor in ending homelessness,” Ritcher, keynote speaker at the annual meeting of the Greater Victoria Coalition to End Homelessness, said Tuesday. “They have the money.”

Calgary, where Ritcher previously led a homeless foundation, was the first Canadian city to sign on to a 10-year plan to end homelessness.

Since 2008, it has housed 4,000 people. Greater Victoria was the second region to sign on to the plan.

Now four years into its strategy, the Coalition reports mixed results.

In 2011-12, 639 people were housed, slightly higher than the average number housed annually since 2008. Also, 152 net new subsidized housing units came onstream in the region.

Four artists will show their work at Beiles’ home, while another dozen will be scattered at sites around the neighbourhood. See story, page A20.

Composure is expected of Oak Bay cop Dorothy Junio, but it’s hard not to get a little misty-eyed walking into the Oak Bay High gymnasium when 1,500 kids are screaming for the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team.

For her last two years in the role, the former school liaison officer was swept into the excitement with the Oak Bay teens as they went head-to-head in a fundraising face-off with Reynolds secondary – an annual challenge that has seen students at both schools band together to generate tens of thousands of dollars for the cause that fights childhood cancer.

“That’s what drew me into this to begin with,” said Junio.

“I cannot believe the passion and the emotions that go along with this. It’s contagious. The real purpose comes out when you see kids so dedicated to the Christine van Reeuwyk/News staff cause.”

Husband and wife Jett So Junio, 50, along with her and Dorothy Junio are husband Jett Junio, a Saanich riding the Tour. police officer, became the first husband and wife duo to join the team of police officers on the 1,000-kilometre journey down Vancouver Island set to leave from Port Alice on Sunday.

And while Junio was physically fit leading up to the Tour, the commitment meant adjusting to the extreme balancing act of managing three training sessions per week and attending fundraisers and community events with Cops for Cancer, on top of her work as a police officer, business owner and parent of two teens – who have had to “fend for themselves,” she said, while both parents have been tied up.

Violent mugging prompts appeal Assailant uses blunt instrument Victoria police are appealing to the public to help find a man who violently attacked a woman with a club and stole her purse.

On Sunday, the 24-year-old Saanich woman was walking home along Quadra Street near Finlayson Street around 11 p.m. when a man struck her three times with a half-metre-long bat or club.

Bob McDonald and Matt Webb may not be cops, but they understand the reason for Tour de Rock

The tour’s

Special Guests

Edward Hill Brittany Lee Black Press

T

he Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team’s two guest riders this year both have deep connections to the cause.

Bob McDonald has helped train riders for the past four years. Matt Webb is a childhood cancer survivor who has been a junior team member for 15 years.

Both have found themselves on an emotional and physical journey in the fight against pediatric cancer.

Bob McDonald Edward Hill/Black Press

Having helped train Tour de Rock riders since 2008, McDonald knows how challenging the 1,000-plus kilometre cycle down the length of Vancouver Island can be. But, he said, it’s nothing compared to what some kids go through every day of their lives.

McDonald’s motivation to help raise funds for pediatric cancer research comes from close to home.

His granddaughter, Lochlyn, was born with Costello syndrome, a genetic disorder that delays growth. Having the syndrome makes five-year-old Lochlyn more susceptible to cancerous tumours.

“She was in the hospital for the first 98 days of her life and we weren’t sure she was going to make it,” the 67-year-old Sidney resident said.

“She’s now just turned five ... and so far, so good. She’s doing really well.”

McDonald, known as Bobfather to

Matt Webb, left, and Bob McDonald have a connection to Tour de Rock. teammates, isn’t new to the Tour de Rock circuit. His son, Saanich police Const. Rob McDonald, was a rider in 2007. And for the past four years, the father-son team has worked with the riders, preparing them for the two-week trek.

Being asked to ride with this year’s team was just a way for McDonald to stay involved and contribute more to the cause, he said.

“It’s just so exciting,” he said.

Matt Webb Webb’s memories of his childhood cancer come in flashes. Three months before his fourth birthday he was diagnosed with Burkitt’s lymphoma.

For two years he was in and out of B.C.

Children’s Hospital in Vancouver in a cycle of chemotherapy and recovery. The Easter Seals House was his home away from home, but he’s thankful his memories of the time are dim.

“It’s a half-dozen single frame images in my mind. Nothing more,” said Webb, 20, now 15 years cancer free. “That in itself is a blessing.”

Indeed, the gruelling regime of chemotherapy was almost fatal. By chance, his doctors realized the chemicals had eaten a hole in his large intestine. That outcome helped doctors establish new protocols for treating kids with chemotherapy.

“They had to stop the treatment early. It would have killed me for sure, even if the cancer didn’t.”

Born and raised in Saanich, and in the same house his great-great grandfather built 110 years ago, Webb is one of the few people to directly experience both sides of Tour de Rock as a childhood survivor and junior team member. When Tour de Rock offered the invitation last Christmas, he eagerly jumped onboard.

As a 15-year junior rider – a child who has cancer or cancer in remission – Webb has lived Tour de Rock as long as he can remember.

Webb said he’s looking forward to experiencing Tour de Rock in the 27 stops that dot the Island.

“I’m used to the overwhelming response in Victoria each year,” he said. “But up Island, (riders) are blown away. Little communities give so much, some give more than bigger communities. I’ve heard so much about it I’m eager to see it myself.”

Individual riders become one Continued from Page A1

“It’s just been a blur,” Junio said. “We did it one day at a time. That’s how we managed.”

“I don’t know how I would have done it without (Jett),” she added. “We motivate each other to get to the events, the training and complain about all the aches and pains (together).”

That close-knit and supportive team mentality reached beyond the Junios to 15 other riders from across the Island – a group of police officers, media members and special guests who came from a variety of fitness levels and backgrounds to pursue the shared goal of fighting pediatric cancer.

“We really gelled together as a team,” said Jose Bingham, a 38-year-old VicPD officer. “We’ve grown really close and we’re ready to get out there.”

After eight months of training, media rider and News reporter Kyle Slavin, echoes the sentiment.

“At some point you get into a team mindset, which is really neat; where you stop thinking for yourself and you’re thinking about the person in front of you and the person behind you and beside you to make sure they’re not struggling, that they are with you, or they are with the team,” Slavin said. “Once everyone gets to that point, it’s really neat because you feel like a team.”

Slavin, at 25, hadn’t been on a bicycle in several years prior to joining the team and feels fully prepared for the Islandwide journey. “They’ve made the training schedule quite incremental so that you’re able to handle it if you’re 20 years old or 67 years old.”

The team’s two special

“At some point you get into a team mindset, which is really neat; where you stop thinking for yourself and you’re thinking about the person in front of you and the person behind you and beside you to make sure they’re not struggling …”

– Media rider Kyle Slavin, Saanich News guests, former junior rider Matt Webb who was diagnosed with Burkitts lymphoma at age three, and Bob “the Bobfather” McDonald, who has been a dedicated volunteer trainer and support crew member of the team since 2008, are both of those ages, respectively.

McDonald puts a lot of other riders to shame, said Saanich police’s Jana Sawyer – another of the team’s 50-year-old contingent.

“I’ve always tried to stay in shape but biking is very different,” said Sawyer, who rides without full function in one of her lungs after several bouts of pneumonia. “I hadn’t biked in probably close to 40 years.”

But any setbacks, aches and pains pale in comparison to the motivation behind the ride: supporting children with cancer.

“The thought of my son and daughter being sick like some of the kids we’ve met on tour is absolutely devastating,” said Bingham, a father of two, “so the opportunity to take part has been really special.”

“Every person on tour is going to have their ‘Aha moment’ or their moment of

clarity where they realize why they’re doing it and from that point on it’ll be overwhelming,” Slavin said. “It’s going to be the moment when a three-year-old with cancer comes up and hugs you, or comes up and thanks you, or it’s going to be when you’re in a school gym and you see 100 people who are 14, 15, 16 and they all have shaved heads and you’re just going to burst into tears and from that point on your perspective of tour will be that much different.” nnorth@saanichnews.com

Ending homelessness, not managing it, the goal: Fortin Continued from Page A1

Roszan Holmen/News staff

Coalition director Andrew Wynn-Williams optimistic about progress.

At the same time, the use of the emergency shelters boasts no real reductions.

The number of individuals using the shelters at least once dropped only marginally in the past year, from 1,668 to 1,617.

Over the same period, the occupancy rate increased to 111 per cent, and people were turned away at the door 3,284 times.

As of March 31, there were 1,545 households on the wait list for subsidized housing.

That’s up from 1,172 applicants in 2009. “While we’ve housed people and we’re keeping them housed, we have not stopped the flow into homelessness,� said University of Victoria researcher Bernie Pauly.

She cited high rental costs and low incomes among the contributing factors.

In 2007, researchers predicted an increase of 400 to 500 homeless people in Greater Victoria every year, up from a starting point of roughly 1,500.

To date, the coalition’s suc-

cess has been to prevent this growth, rather than curb the problem.

Coalition co-chair and Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin made clear the goal is still to end homelessness, not simply to manage it.

At the same time, Coalition executive director Andrew Wynn-Williams said progress is being made. “If you just walk around in the streets now, the feeling now compared to the feeling five years ago is completely different,� he said.

Esquimalt-Royal Roads

NDP MLA Maurine Karagianis, however, was skeptical the province of B.C. can provide the needed boost Ritcher calls for. “Alberta has a different experience than us,â€? she said at the AGM. “They have huge oil revenues that are coming into that province that are being used to subsidize social programs ‌ If we had the capacity to have the oil sands to give us unlimited dollars, it would be a different scenario.â€? rholmen@vicnews.com

City touts seismic upgrades for heritage homes Daniel Palmer News staff

Photo courtesy Howard Cook

This heritage home in California dropped by half a storey in an earthquake, after its “cripple wall” (visible, lower right) collapsed. City of Victoria officials warn the same thing could happen to certain heritage homes in this area, without the proper seismic upgrades.

Many heritage homes across Victoria may be ill-equipped to withstand even a moderate earthquake, according to a U.S. expert.

Howard Cook, a San Francisco-based contractor and former damage inspector for the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency, presented his seismic upgrading recommendations to about 100 contractors and other participants last week at city hall.

“The housing stock and type that we have here in Victoria … is very similar to a lot of

the housing stock in San Francisco,” said Steve Barber, Victoria’s senior heritage planner.

“Because they’ve had a lot more direct experience with earthquakes in California, there’s quite a bit more experience in terms of what kinds of damage can occur.”

Victoria’s heritage register currently includes 620 homes, the majority of which require seismic upgrading.

The most vulnerable homes are those built with “cripple walls,” the short walls between the foundation and main floor of many older houses, Barber said.

This particularly weak point

can be upgraded at a relatively less expensive cost than what would be required after an earthquake.

The Victoria Heritage Foundation offers grants to cover up to 30 per cent of the cost (to a maximum of $20,000) for seismic upgrades and other structural improvement work on designated heritage homes.

But the foundation is considering an increase to that amount for seismic-specific upgrades in 2013, said Brigitte Clark, executive director.

Cook’s presentation cited a study of two similar Victorianstyle homes in San Francisco that were damaged during a

6.9-magnitude earthquake.

“One was retrofitted before the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake – it needed $5,000 in repairs. The other house cost $250,000 to repair,” the report stated.

Barber recommends all Victoria homeowners, not just those living in heritage homes, assess their seismic preparedness.

“There is such a greater awareness of what earthquake hazards are (in California) than there is here,” he said.

Staying calm and clear during crisis News staff

The first call I answered was a little too easy. A 79-yearold woman in the 3000-block of Douglas St. had a stomach ache. I typed in the Saanich address into the empty field on the monitor in front of me and asked the caller a series of questions about her illness.

ProQA, the program used by emergency medical dispatchers for the B.C. Ambulance Service, confirmed the minor sickness, categorized the call as low-priority and an ambulance was sent out to the familiar locale – or at least it would have, had I answered an actual call.

Instead, I was responding to Bill Hadden, the emergency

Europe’s Beauty Secret Clinically Proven!

Fewer lines and wrinkles, thicker hair, stronger nails and denser bones.

Collagen is the key. Molecular biologists have pinpointed the key structural protein for creating smooth skin, thick strong hair, and strong nails. It’s your body’s beauty protein, collagen. During youth, you have a rich abundance of collagen. In addition, the collagen forms itself in a resilient “tight mesh” matrix. This “ideal” collagen condition prevents wrinkles from forming, gives skin elasticity, helps create thick, beautiful hair and strong nails. But over the years, collagen diminishes.

Starting at age 21, collagen diminishes by 1% per year. By age 30, signs of reduced collagen on skin, hair and nails become visible, not to mention the increase risk of fracture for bones.

Say the words “healthy bones,” and the first word that probably pops up is calcium, but did you know that bones are made up of 30% collagen? Collagen provides strength and flexibility to bones. When collagen diminishes – your risk of fracture increases!

Now, genuine collagen regeneration is possible with clinically proven BioSil™. BioSil, a patented cholinestabilized orthosilicic acid (ch-OSA®) complex, helps your body to generate its own collagen to provide support for denser and more flexible bones as well as beautiful skin, hair and nails. BioSil has been tested in rigorous double-blind placebo controlled trials for both efficacy and safety.

Regenerate Collagen with BioSil, the only clinically proven product with ch-OSA – the most absorbable form of silicon.

Despite the low stakes, the pressure was on when Hadden took on his second role of my faux training session – a condensed 10-minute overview of a three-week-long training course.

From the seat behind me, Hadden transformed into a caller from a street address I’d never heard of and had no idea how to spell. Finally I asked the caller and he told me it’s in Boston Bar – a tiny community I had to Google later to locate. The caller’s 78-year-old father had collapsed and wasn’t breathing. After what felt like 20 minutes of scripted questions, I arrived at ProQA’s suggestion: cardiac arrest.

The process would take a trained dispatcher about 90 seconds to complete, Hadden said.

But even with the quickest dispatcher the arrival of an ambulance takes time.

In July, when Nicholas Woodiwiss’s heart stopped while riding his bicycle in Royal Oak, four bystanders performed life-saving cardiopulmonary respiration before paramedics arrived. Their actions, for which they received an award, exemplified the zero-minute response time the service strives to achieve.

“You need to be reassuring,” Hadden said. “You, yourself need to be calm, confident and clear. You need to direct people even when they’re not confident or losing hope.”

Back to Boston Bar. A counter tool had popped up on my monitor. Like a metronome, it set the pace for compressions. I told the caller I’d count out loud while he performed chest compressions.

Leading a caller through CPR isn’t a situation Hadden deals with every day, necessarily, but after four years on the job, and thousands of phone calls, it’s one he’s used to managing.

Part of that management involves asking questions exactly as they appear in ProQA – without changing a single word and risking a change from the original meaning – while counselling individuals through extremely traumatic events.

“You’ve gotta know when to rein them back in.

Most people submit to requests,” he said. “You have to know what type of person you’re dealing with. Everyone’s subtly different.”

Last year, B.C. Ambulance Service responded to 486,000 events, or an average of 56 events per hour from three centres. The service currently employs 3,668 paramedics and dispatchers provincewide, and they’re looking for more. “(Dispatchers need) the ability to remain calm in very stressful situations and to remain calm with all of the stimulation going on around you,” said Corinne Begg, a provincial dispatch training officer.

“We’re looking for someone who’s able to have a lot going on at the same time.” nnorth@saanichnews.com

Province won’t pay costs Esquimalt mayor says government should step up Daniel Palmer News staff

Esquimalt may appeal a decision by the B.C. government not to reimburse the township for costs incurred by its police advisory panel.

The panel developed a report on Esquimalt’s policing options and ultimately recommended that the municipality switch to the RCMP from VicPD for its police services, as a cost-saving measure.

The province rejected those recommendations in June, but left the township to foot the estimated $300,000 bill. In a letter received by council on Monday, assistant deputy

minister Clayton Pecknold said the current fiscal environment does not allow the province to provide further funding to the township.

“We’re going to be sending a letter back expressing our disappointment and concern, and letting police services and Mr. Pecknold know we will be looking into an appeal process,” Mayor Barb Desjardins said.

Council also took issue with the province’s refusal to cover Esquimalt’s costs, going forward, with implementing the 43 recommendations of a provincially appointed mediator. “We feel very strongly that the province needs to step up in terms of reimbursement in some way,” Desjardins said.

Esquimalt and Victoria pay more per resident for police services than any other municipality in the Capital Regional District. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Acting mayor pay boosted Esquimalt council approved a small pay bump for acting mayors, but only for those who assume the role more than two months in a calendar year.

A motion was passed Monday night that gives councillors a one-time, five-percent stipend of $694, for a minimum of two months of appointed duty. Councillors currently receive a salary of $13,885, while the mayor receives $34,600.

The previous council had completed a compensation review, but had not identified the need for a stipend for acting mayors, said Coun. Dave Hodgins.

“Four councillors supported that request based on fairness and equity,” he said, making reference to Mayor Barb Desjardins’ vote against the motion. “The mayor could have said, ‘I don’t support an additional cost to the taxpayers, so I’m going to pay the money from my compensation,’ but she didn’t.”

Desjardins said veteran councillors – those on council before last year’s election – wanted the remuneration to undergo a policy review and were the three others to vote against. The mayor designates acting mayors who will serve in her absence. dpalmer@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW

Governance by absentia The B.C. Liberals’ cancellation of the fall sitting of the legislature means the government will have sat just 48 days in 2012.

To anyone who voted for the Liberals, and especially those who didn’t, the move is an affront to democracy and good Liberals shoot themselves in foot government.

The excuse with cancellation given was that new ministers need time to study up on their portfolios. But the reality is, the Liberals are doing their darndest to avoid making mistakes that might ultimately relegate them further into second-party status come election time next spring.

Premier Christy Clark promised big changes to the often-domineering way the Gordon Campbell-led Liberals did things down on Belleville Street.

Seeking to distance herself from the modus operandi of the previous regime and create more open government, she called for more sittings of the legislature to allow for more consultation and more ideas to circulate.

Instead, she appears to have caved to the demands of the politicos who would rather see the Liberals play a lame-duck game of ‘out-ofsight, out-of-mind.’

With no sessions, the need for valuable allparty committee work falls by the wayside, as does the ability for bills to be passed to keep government operating properly. We recall that once under Campbell’s leadership, the lack of legislative time saw the government nearly run out of money and require an emergency session to pass a funding bill into law.

It’s true, many people will be too busy to notice that there’s not a lot of news coming out of the legislature. But the Liberals, politically floundering, aren’t doing themselves any favours.

They have an opportunity to go out with guns blazing, doing what they believe is right and let the public decide who can better govern the province. Otherwise they come off as a party clearly running scared.

Thanks to evolution, our bodies have powerful ways to ward off illness and infection and enable us to live long and healthy lives. Why, then, do health costs continue to climb at unsustainable and frightening rates?

Part of it is that medical care has become so sophisticated that doctors are able to treat more problems.

Another part is the everincreasing cost of drugs. And with a medical system, people are more likely to seek help. Still, health-care costs can’t continue to rise forever. Governments are always looking for ways to reduce costs, often by offloading a greater share of the burden onto patients.

We must pay greater attention to keeping our bodies and minds healthy and able to heal. Yet we are making it difficult for our defences to work. We allow things to be sold that should not be called food.

Many have no nutritional value and lead to obesity, salt imbalance, and allergies.

We spew chemicals into the environment by the millions of tonnes.

Molecules pour into us through air, water, and food, overwhelming or weakening our protective immune systems.

According to Harvard University doctors Eric Chivian and Aaron Bernstein, “Our behaviour is the result of a basic failure to recognize that human beings are an inseparable part of nature and that we cannot damage it severely without severely damaging ourselves.”

The medical literature tells us that the most effective ways to reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and many more problems are though healthy diet and exercise.

Our bodies have evolved to move, yet we now use the energy in oil instead of muscles to do our work. In 2007, the World Health Organization concluded that environmental factors contribute to 36,000 deaths and 13 per cent of the disease burden in Canada annually.

The Canadian Medical Association claims that air pollution causes more than 20,000 premature deaths a year.

According to author and environmental lawyer David R. Boyd, scientists estimate that environmental factors affecting heart and respiratory disease, cancer and birth problems contribute to anywhere from 10,000 to 25,000 deaths, 78,000 to 194,000 hospitalizations, 600,000 to 1.5 million days in hospitals, and other problems, totalling between $3.6 billion and $9.1 billion in direct and indirect costs each year.

It’s easier, more effective, and cheaper to let healthy bodies fight off disease and infections than to weaken those defence mechanisms and then compensate for them medically.

If we want a stable health system, we must put more resources into reducing pollution and environmental degradation and creating a way of life that keeps bodies and minds happy and in good health.

Readers respond: Voter disillusionment, cost of living Voting doesn’t help predicament, reader says Re: Political raises should have more oversight (Letters, Sept. 14) The writer made some very interesting remarks and viewpoints on civil servants, local government workers etc., which I too am fed up and angry with.

Ms. Sheridan shares my disillusion with voting. I simply will no longer vote for a system geared to no changes ever, empty promises aimed to collect votes from the poor, needy, homeless – always at election time.

It is appalling, disgusting and way, way beyond humour that there are people voting and collecting copious salaries – and with no job title. Where do I start my application? How about this

one: “Help-out guy, can do some stuff, maybe, leave message, does three-day work week, four hours daily – requires $70,000 annually, medical, dental and this year’s BMW for start.”

That’s my job description from here on in. I deserve it, don’t I? I sincerely doubt that Christy Clark has ever endured a five-week month, existing off margarine and sugar sandwiches, with only ice cubes in the refrigerator. I am on disability, making $950 monthly. No telephone, no cable, no car, no pet. I am 56 and worked 22 years commercial fishing – taxed to death. I pay $750 for a one-room bachelor suite and have nothing to show for my life.

I am finished with voting for good. So please don’t tell me

that voting works. I have voted since I was 19 and look where it’s gotten me. If everyone stood together and either refused to vote, or had a national non-voter day, the sheer number of people would have to be addressed with change.

Wages not keeping up with cost of living hike The Cost of Living adjustments for B.C. families, of citizens or other residents, needs a recalculation.

With fewer B.C. jobs, many exported with the logs, and the resulting fewer paycheques, shopping and spending in the B.C. market place, the pressure is

pushing B.C. prices up.

All this pressure is inflationary.

Many B.C. residents are forced out to seek jobs in Alberta or elsewhere, even lessening B.C. shopper market cash flows.

Many B.C. merchants cannot raise their prices, so are forced to fold and further reduce the B.C. market of shopping funds. Some B.C. merchants can reduce low margin stocks while displaying the higher margin stuff to shoppers. A few had to jack up prices and/or lay off staff to keep going, further reducing the local market cash flows.

We know that B.C. families cannot afford to live with this B.C. government. That leads to the next question.

Can B.C. businesses afford to operate under the jobs and

market-cash-exporting ideology, practised by the B.C. Liberals?

Realtors lend a helping hand Donation covers major expense for non-profit soup kitchen

455 Kingston Street, Victoria, BC 250-384-3336 Independent Retirement Living with Supportive Services

“Have you heard?”

PREMIUM SUITES AVAILABLE

Don Descoteau News staff

When people line up for lunch at the Rainbow Kitchen in Esquimalt, volunteer staff aren’t worrying so much about how the organization will cover its costs.

Making rent is something the non-profit society won’t have to fret about for the rest of this year, after receiving a $10,000 gift Tuesday from members of the Victoria Real Estate Board.

“We’re totally funded by donations like this,” said Garth Walmsley, board president of the Victoria Rainbow Kitchen Society. “I’m not sure what we would have done without this grant. It’s a great relief to have our rent taken care of.”

The society, operating out of the former Anglican church at 500 Admirals Rd., has an annual budget of $65,000. It has no paid staff, but still must pay for such things as utilities, garbage pickup, cleaning services, some food items and, of course, rent to the Anglican Diocese.

Even with Tuesday’s donation,

Volunteers Viola Vatter, left, Chu Hui-Jung, Ken Oswald and Angela Yang prepare lunch at the Rainbow Kitchen last year.

The soup kitchen on Admirals Road received $10,000 from the Victoria Real Estate Board on Tuesday. the society still needs about $30,000 to cover off expenses to its fiscal year-end next March, Walmsley said.

“Places like the Rainbow Kitchen are supplying a service that is desperately needed in our community,” said Victoria Real Estate Board president Carol Crabb, who attended the cheque presentation and heard from some kitchen clients.

“When you’re not in that position – when you don’t need those services – you’re not always

aware of (services like Rainbow Kitchen).”

More than a dozen charities sent in proposals for the real estate board grant, Crabb said.

Not only do agents donate financially, she added, their flexible schedules will allow them to volunteer at the kitchen as well.

To donate, send a cheque payable to Rainbow Kitchen to 500 Admirals Rd., Esquimalt B.C., V9A 2N4, or call 250-384-2069 for more information. editor@vicnews.com

BIG UE

B.C.’s top researchers invite parents to join in the discussion Q NATALIE NORTH, NEWS STAFF

People are complex. Life is messy sometimes. And there’s no single answer for everyone.

These simple messages repeat throughout Cannabis Use and Youth: a Parents' Guide – a resource created to add a balanced voice in the discussion of a favoured West Coast pastime to many. Is cannabis addictive? Can it trigger psychosis? Is it stronger now than it was 20 years ago?

What are the dangers to young people who choose to light up?

At a time when half of all people over the age of 15 have used cannabis and conÆicting information on its effects abounds,

the Centre for Addictions Research of B.C. (CARBC) in partnership with the FORCE Society for Kids’ Mental Health and the Canadian Mental Health Association, published a 16-page guide unlike any other Englishlanguage resource on the drug.

From a run-down of unfounded common claims versus actual research-based beliefs on the effects of cannabis, to the beneÅts of using a vaporizer, the guide adds an as-yet unheard realist voice to the conversation.

“A lot of parents have questions about cannabis because a lot of parents are confused,” said Dan Reist, assistant director

at CARBC. “On the one hand, ‘cannabis causes schizophrenia’ and the scare approach, compared to the other side that says cannabis is the most wonderful herb known to man. Where was the truth?”

Some parents who contributed to creating the guide through involvement with the FORCE were open about the dilemma of actually buying cannabis for their children, to avoid their kids purchasing the controlled substance from criminals.

“They wrestle with those issues and nobody talks to them,” Reist said. “Being able to come in and say: ‘It's not a perfect world, but these are the issues you've got to

Being mom comes Årst

be able to consider.’

(Parents) found it incredibly relieving. We’re ’re not saying to them what they should do; we’re simply saying, here are some tips if they choose to go down that road.”

One of the concerns from parents has been around individual studies linking cannabis use and psychosis, which are plenty, but inconclusive nonetheless.

“There is some evidence to suggest an association; the nature of that association hasn't been

established,” e Reist said. s “You can't say that th cannabis causes schizophrenia. sch The two co-exist co-e in some individuals in a way wa that suggests there is some rel relationship. Is cannabis in some way contributing along with a bunch of other things to the emergence of schizophrenia or other psychotic symptoms, or is it that individuals who experience psychotic symptoms gravitate to cannabis? We can't be 100 per cent sure on that.”

Reist isn't holding his breath that the research will ever show a causal relationship. continued on 17

At which point Danica’s head bounces up.

I shake my head. “I think it’s one of those movies with different American and Canadian ratings. It’s too mature for you.

This Family’s Life

Q&A

Beth Threlfall describes herself “as a mother, artist and witch.” Being a mother always comes first she says because, “children, nineyear-old Gracie and seven-year-old Jackson have made me a better person. Because of my children I want to be a part of my community, I want to help my neighbours.

They inspire me to look beyond my own needs.” Threlfall feels spirituality is an important element of her life that keeps her grounded and connected to something larger.

Q A

How do you find time for yourself in addition to your role as a mother?

Being creative is my time to play and use a part of my brain that isn’t about schedules, cleaning and meal plans.

I love to paint so to integrate that love of community I started painting hydro poles on Fernwood Road, and what a craze that has become. I paint whenever I can; hydro poles, doors, canvases; if it has a surface need to add extra colour and whimsy.

I recently finished a 39’x35’ walking labyrinth at George Jay elementary school where my kids attend.

What are you reading right now?

What do you read with kids?

I am reading The Idiot’s Guide to the Tarot. I have studied Tarot before but now with the kids I get to do the storytelling part of reading cards and how a new story can unfold as you lay out a deck. The last book we read together was the last of the Harry Potter series Deathly Hallows. I wish

Q A

I could recall when we first started the series, it felt like quite the accomplishment turning that last page.

What is your family’s favourite activity to share together?

Playing board games “Pokeman Master Trainer” is a favourite. We enjoy sitting around the table throwing dice, cracking jokes and talking about nothing in particular except to enjoy spending time together not going anywhere or answering the phone.

The part of your day you most look forward to?

Walking or biking the kids to and from school. I love hearing about what happened during their day and talk about what is going on. It’s special being out in the fresh air having a single destination. I find these times relaxing because I don’t have to or want to be anywhere or need to be doing anything else.

Red reveals internal struggle of renowned artist Belfry Theatre hosts awardwinning play on life of Mark Rothko Daniel Palmer News staff

From the moment the audience enters the Belfry Theatre, the atmosphere is both chaotic and ominous.

Huge canvasses swallow the stage walls, familiar deep red and black rectangles painted with remarkable similarity – at least to the untrained eye – the work of abstract expressionist Mark Rothko.

Drops of paint litter the stage floor leading toward a plywood work table covered in brushes, stained rags and plastic buckets, giving the unmistakable, oilsoaked feel of an artist’s studio.

Set designer Peter Hartwell’s attention to detail is indicative of the quality of Red, the Belfry’s first offering of the fall season on the life of Rothko from playwright John Logan.

David Cooper photo

Jameson Parker and Oliver Becker paint the stage in Red by John Logan, now on at the Belfry.

With huge screenplays like Gladiator, The Aviator and Hugo under his belt, it’s clear Logan has a gift for storytelling. He took home the 2010 Tony Award for best

play for Red. The opening scene reveals Rothko, played by the impressive Oliver Becker, lost deep in thought as he stares deeply into an imagi-

nary half-finished creation.

His musings are cut short by the arrival of a new and overtly earnest assistant, Ken (played by Jameson Parker).

The entire play takes place in Rothko’s New York studio in 1958-59, at the height of the artist’s fame, when he was creating a series of paintings for the Four Seasons restaurant in Manhattan’s Seagram Building.

In a scene that illustrates director Michael Shamata’s enthusiasm for authentic detail, Ken methodically staples a three-metre canvas to a wooden frame before he and Rothko smother it in crimson paint from top to bottom.

Sound designer and renowned local composer Tobin Stokes brings to life Rothko’s dependence on music to inspire the creative process.

The audience witnesses Rothko’s attempt to hold onto his revolutionary beliefs while embracing the reality of commercialism and fame.

Campy but fun, a filmmaker lives the dream Natalie North News staff

John Varszegi sits in front of his computer screen grinning. “This is not for bragging,” he says through his thick Hungarian accent. “James Cameron … David Cronenberg…”

Varszegi scrolls through the List of Canadian directors Wikipedia page with a finger pointed to the screen. He pauses. “… John Varszegi.”

The Hillside/Quadra neighbourhood bachelor suite-turned blue-screen studio represents all that Varszegi could not access as a boy driven to make films in communist Hungary.

Since founding not-for-profit organization HTVBC seven years ago, the 56-year-old single dad and home-care worker has directed and edited more than 100 short films.

Initially known as Hungarian Television of B.C., HTVBC began as a source of Hungarian community programming for online and TV platforms, but Varszegi has since broadened his scope to include any aspect of B.C. or Canadian culture.

He is driven by a desire to screen at international film festivals and support emerging local actors and writers. “All of the actors are mostly local because we want to support them with references. We’d like to somehow support and push the local, non-professional film community.”

Last year’s big project was Unsound Innocence, a campy, feature-length action flick laden with gunfire and fake blood and shot entirely in Spectrum Community School. It was recently accepted into Mexico’s Oaxaca FilmFest.

Anyone visiting the Observatory Hill or Beaver Lake recently may have seen equally offbeat and adrenaline-charged shoots from his current project The Ten Dimension Theory, a science-fiction action film, based on Rob Bryanton’s book Imagining the Tenth Dimension.

Stretching the limits of low-budget, independent filmmaking, Varszegi shot a boat chase scene in Victoria’s Inner Harbour and used Craigdarroch Castle to stand in for the Vatican for his latest epic.

“It’s a bit tongue-in-cheek,” said Randy Parker, a 53-year-old actor who has enjoyed playing the lead role in Varszegi’s last two features. “When you work with what you can on a shoestring budget, sometimes it goes off your intended focus and you just work with it. … If it goes a little off at a certain point and it’s a little campy and people are laughing, but they’re happy and entertained

Local Market Expert

in the end, that’s OK.” Varszegi is still in need of more actors to fill in all of the roles in The Ten Dimension Theory.

As he scans through highlights from his demo reel the smile returns to his face. He has put in a lot of hours since he first shot a Three Musketeers tribute as a 14-year-old in Hungary.

“Nobody has ever thought about ‘Oh we can make money with this. Well we can or we cannot, who cares? The point is that we do something useful. … The point is the fun.”

WHL B.C. division preview Black Press sports reporters preview the B.C. Division for the 2012-13 season Victoria Royals Last season: 24-413-4, seventh in Western Conference, fourth in B.C. Division.

Swept by Kamloops in opening round of playoffs.

Head coach: Dave Lowry (first season, 2nd as WHL head coach).

Assistants: Enio Sacilotto (third season), Ben Cooper, (second season), Geoff Grimwood (first season).

General Manager: Cam Hope (first season).

Key losses: After guiding the Royals through the transition from Chilliwack to Victoria, coach-GM Marc Habscheid took an advisory role within RG Properties, the hockey related company that owns the Royals.

Key player losses: F Kevin Sundher, D Hayden Rintoul and F Robin Soudek all graduated.

Twenty-year-olds F Mike Forsyth and G Keith Hamilton were released during the preseason.

Returning 18-year-olds F Zane Jones and D Kade Pilton were traded. D Zach Habscheid is playing for the Sioux Falls Stampede of the U.S. Hockey League (Jr. A).

The 20-year-olds: D Tyler Stahl, F Jamie Crooks, F Alex Gogolev.

The imports: F Alex Gogolev, Russia and G Patrik Polivka, Czech Republic.

Key returnees: D Tyler Stahl, D Keegan Kanzig, D Jordan Fransoo, F Steven Hodges, F Brandon Magee, F Logan Nelson, F Jamie Crooks, F Ben Walker.

New faces: Lots of them. Hope and Lowry inherit a team of full of assets, but one that’s been missing that winning feeling. Already they’ve pared the team down to its core, while adding Russian import Gogolev, a premier leftwinger in the WHL, and goalie Polivka.

Watch for: Left wingers Gogolev and Crooks to lead a high-powered Royals offence, a solid top six that includes Nelson, Magee, Hodges and a beefed-up Ben Walker. Rookie netminder Polivka has been lights out in the preseason.

Just notes: Carolina Hurricanes’ prospect Tyler Stahl missed most of last season due to a concussion suffered in the fourth game. It hasn’t softened

Victoria Royals defenceman Jesse Zgraggen battles with Vancouver Giants forward Carter Popoff in front of goalie Patrik Polivka during preseason play at SaveOn-Foods Memorial Centre on Saturday.

The Royals won 4-2.

Don Denton/News staff

Royals home opener Operatic anthem singer Mark Donnelly, of Vancouver Canucks fame, will usher in the Victoria WHL season on Saturday night (Sept. 22). Puck drop is 7:05 p.m. versus the Giants.

Stahl, who starts the season on a six-game suspension for a check to the head against Kelowna on Sept. 7.

Prognosis: It will take Lowry at least this season to build the type of team chemistry that “takes care of itself,” but it will happen.

Prediction: Forty wins and a first round playoff exit in seven games.

- Travis Paterson, Victoria News

Vancouver Giants Last season: 40-262-4, second in B.C. Division, fourth in the Western conference, lost in six games to Spokane in first round of playoffs.

Head coach: Don Hay (eighth season, 14th in WHL).

The 20-year-olds: D Wes Vannieuwenhuizen, F Taylor Makin, D Joel Neibrandt.

Key returnees: Besides the 20-year-olds, Cain Franson, D David Musil, F Marek Tvrdon, F Dalton Sward.

Key losses: F Brendan Gallagher, F Jordan Martinook, F James Henry, G Adam Morrison, D Neil Manning.

New faces: D Joel Neibrandt, G Liam Liston, G Tyler Fuhr.

Up front: The Giants lose three

of their top five point-getters from last season, including 40-goal men Brendan Gallagher and Jordan Martinook. Returning to carry the offensive load are 19-year-olds Tvrdon and Franson.

On the blue line: Led by newly-appointed captain Vannieuwenhuizen, the Giants have five rearguards back from last season, including NHL prospects Musil and Brett Kulak. Neibrandt won a WHL championship in 2011 with the Kootenay Ice. In net: Giants acquired 19-yearold Liston from Lethbridge to assume the starting goaltending duties from Morrison, who won 35 games last year.

Prognosis: A dip in production without Gallagher, who was a game-breaker last year. Look for the defence to drag the team into one of the last playoff spots in the Western conference.

- WHL files/Travis Paterson

Prince George Cougars Last season: 24-46-0-2, 10th in Western Conference, fifth in B.C. Division, missed for the third time in five years.

Head coach: Dean Clark (fourth season, 16th overall) Key losses: G Drew Owsley, team MVP of 2011-12. Owsley played 64 games. D Jesse Forsberg played with an edge. He was dealt to the Seattle Thunderbirds.

The 20-year-olds: F Brock Hirsche, D Dan Gibb and D Dallas Ehrhardt.

The imports: 1994-born Latvian defenceman Rinalds Rosinskis.

Key returnees: G Fordyce, D

Gibb, F Troy Bourke, F Alex Forsberg, F Daulton Siwak, F Chase Witala, F Jordan Tkatch and F Hirsche.

New faces: Colin Jacobs (from Seattle) and Jari Erricson (from the Everett Silvertips).

Watch for: Alex Forsberg, the first overall 2010 bantam pick, who is eligible for selection in the 2013 NHL draft. He recorded 40 points (15 goals and 25 assists) in 51 games as a rookie last year.

Prognosis: Still a young team, mistakes are going to happen as players learn the game.

- Alistair McInnis, Prince George Free Press

Kelowna Rockets Last season: 31-314-6, sixth in Western Conference, third in B.C. Division. Swept by Portland in the opening round of the playoffs.

Head coach: Ryan Huska (sixth season, 11th on staff).

Key losses: F Brett Bulmer (turning pro), G Adam Brown (graduated), and C Spencer Main (retired, injury).

The 20-year-olds: D Mitchell Chapman, F Dylen McKinley and F T.J. Barnett.

The imports: F Filip Vasko, 18 (Slovakia), and Henrik Nyberg, 18, (Sweden).

Key returnees: F Colton Sissons, F Zach Franko, D Damon Severson, D Myles Bell, D Madison Bowey and G Jordon Cooke.

New faces: F Ryan Olsen, G Jackson Whistle, D Mitchell Wheaton, C Rourke Chartier, 15th overall pick in 1996 Bantam Draft.

Did you know: Bowey won a gold medal with Team Canada at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial U18 world championship in Slovakia.

The prognosis: If Kelowna can score on a nightly basis, then 35 to 40 wins and a second-place finish in the B.C. Division shouldn't be out of the question.

- Warren Henderson, Kelowna Capital News

Kamloops Blazers Last season: 47-20-2-3, second in Western Conference, first in B.C. Division. Lost in Game 7, second round of playoffs to Portland.

Head coach: Guy Charron (third season).

Key losses: F Chase Schaber, D Bronson Maschmeyer, F Brandon Herrod, all graduated.

The 20-year-olds: D Madaisky, F Dylan Willick, F Brendan Ranford and F Jordan DePape.

The imports: F Tim Bozon, Switzerland; D Marek Hrbas, Czech Republic.

Key returnees: F Ranford, F Bozon, F Willick, D Hrbas, D Tyler Hansen, D Tyler Bell, D Madaisky (if he is back), G Cole Cheveldave, F JC Lipon and F Colin Smith.

New faces: D Jordan Thomson, F Rob Trzonkowski.

The prognosis: Expectations in Kamloops are higher than they have been in more than a decade.

The Blazers have the necessary tools this season to make a run at the Western Conference championship and Ed Chynoweth Cup. — Marty Hastings, Kamloops This Week

Dear Ironman, please be patient Tight deadline limits proposal Travis Paterson News staff

No one in Greater Victoria needs convincing – the region would love to be the new home of Ironman Canada.

That’s been the consensus since Ironman Canada owners, the World Triathlon Corporation, included Victoria on a list of desired destinations for 2013. Granted, it means putting aside the obvious commitments needed to host a race of Ironman’s magnitude.

“We let WTC know we’re very interested, whether or not we can meet the conditions for the Sept. 24 deadline,” said Hugh MacDonald of SportHost Victoria.

“With such a short timeline there is little we can do but submit a proposal of the route, and local interest to make it work.”

The world famous long distance triathlon was bumped by Penticton in August, after 30 years, and MacDonald, with help from the Victoria triathlon community, is hoping to beat out Whistler, Vernon, Kelowna, Calgary and other cities that plan to meet the WTC’s proposal deadline of Sept. 24.

MacDonald is spearheading the cause, and has brought plenty of world-class events to Victoria.

With Monday as the proposal deadline, however, there is little more MacDonald can do but gather a lot of handshake agreements from the necessary stakeholders who agree in principle that they will support the race.

“The route is multi-munici-

Saanich-based triathlete Magali Tisseyre on the trails of Elk Lake. Tisseyre says Ironman is the next step for Victoria’s triathlon scene. pal, and it’s critical to have the municipalities on side,” he said.

A lot of factors come into play, from the nitty gritty of who will pay for police and approve road closures, to whether the picturesque stretch of Dallas Road and the Inner Harbour can be factored into the race. There’s also an Ironman expo on the Saturday needing 15,000 squarefeet, and a banquet for 2,000 that night. Those would have to be downtown, which is where most of the accommodation would be for the expected 2,500 athletes, plus family, coaches and friends who come with them.

An ideal route for Ironman Canada would likely start with the 3.8 kilometre open water swim in Elk Lake, a 90km bike loop (done twice) through Saanich, the Highlands, Central Saan-

ich, North Saanich, and Sidney, and a 42km run ending at Victoria’s Inner Harbour.

Quebec-raised triathlete Magali Tisseyre, a top-ranked pro, just moved back to Saanich, where she previously lived for a year and half. Last month Tisseyre won the half Ironman at the first Ironman Mont-Tremblant and, as a native of Montreal, she’s seen the impact Ironman is having on Mont-Tremblant.

“They don’t know much about triathlon out there, but as soon as Ironman came to Mont-Tremblant, all of a sudden there was a whole new potential for tourism in the summer,” said the 30-yearold. Mont-Tremblant is committed to being a permanent training location and has repaved 70 per cent of the road course, she added.

Tisseyre was seventh at the world half Ironman championships last month and is nearly ready to do her first full Ironman race, with many more to come.

“Having Ironman would put Victoria on the international map and open it up to the world.”

One question that still looms is why Penticton chose to walk away from Ironman after 30 years and welcome Challenge Penticton instead, for 2013.

Managing director Steve Meckfessel of WTC said meetings with Penticton happened as late as the week of the Aug. 26 race, and that WTC believes it’s not asking for too much from the host municipalities.

“The model that was in Penticton and the model in which we operate is similar and has proven to serve the athletes and host cities well, it’s proven successful,” Meckfessel said. WTC plans to announce the new host

When one door closes (temporarily), another opens.

Ryan O'Byrne, Colorado Avalanche defenseman has returned to his native Victoria and will spend his time during the NHL lockout as an assistant coach on the Victoria Grizzlies.

Head coach and general manager Bill Bestwick introduced O'Byrne as the team’s newest member on Wednesday.

“O’Byrne is a great role model for our community,” Bestwick said. “He will inspire these guys.”

The deal was made possible due to a quibble between the NHL owners and NHL Players Pssociation, of which O’Byrne is the team rep for Colorado.

In 2003, O’Byrne was traded from the Salsa (Grizzlies) to the Nanaimo Clippers, where he played briefly for Bestwick before attending Cornell (NCAA). O'Byrne will not be paid by the Grizz, rather, the team will donate money to the Ryan O'Byrne Youth Sports Society.

“Obviously the lockout is unfortunate, but this lets me give back to the community,” O'Byrne said.

The Grizz are on a three-game road trip through Surrey, Chilliwack and Coquitlam this weekend. sports@vicnews.com

ALL YOU NEED IN PRINT AND ONLINE bcclassified.com

Give them power. Give them confidence.

Give them control.

GIVE THEM A PAPER ROUTE! A paper route is about so much more than money.

These days kids want and need so many things. With a paper route they not only earn the money to buy those things, they also gain a new respect for themselves. They discover a new sense of confidence, power and control by having their very own job, making their own money and paying for their own games, phones and time with friends.

All it takes is an hour or so after school Wednesday and Friday.

And even better... there are no collections required.

It’s so easy to get started… call

Union of B.C. Municipalities meeting in Victoria

Emergency workshops coming to venue near you

Roszan Holmen News staff

Early in the summer, controversy over cellphone antennas atop a residential building came to the attention of Esquimalt council.

More recently, objections to a cell tower proposed by Gorge Vale Golf Club found a sympathetic audience at municipal hall.

Now, Esquimalt council is taking its call for input into the placement of telecommunications towers and antennas to a jury of its peers.

From Sept. 24 to 28, 1,500 civic government representatives from across the province will meet at the Victoria Conference Centre for the annual convention of the Union of B.C. Municipalities.

The 12th annual Esquimalt Lantern Festival is this Saturday (Sept. 22) from 4:30 to 10 p.m. at Capt. Jacobson Park on Head Street. “It’s a free, fun family event,� said director Jen Yarnell. “Esquimalt is an undiscovered little gem that a lot of people don’t know about,� she said.

The event, which attracted around 2,000 people last year, includes food vendors, face painting for kids, belly dancers and, of course, a lantern parade. “Everybody starts pouring down the streets with their lanterns. We have a piper that leads the parade, the mayor and councillors, and we go on a lantern procession along the Songhees walkway,�

Charging stations slated for downtown parkades Roszan Holmen News staff

SAVE 20%

on all Bathroom Safety Equipment

There aren’t many electric vehicles on the roads yet, but seven new charging stations have been earmarked for city parkades by next spring.

Charging a vehicle at one of the stations will take between three and eight hours. There will be no cost for the electricity over and above the standard parking rates.

At this early stage, Coun. Geoff Young doesn’t “have a problem with giving the industry a bit of a kickstart.”

“These things are still pretty marginal economically,” he said. When

electric vehicles become more common, however, he said the city will need to start charging an extra parking fee to recoup power costs.

The City of Victoria has budgeted approximately $20,000 for the installation of 10 charging stations, including three stations for use by its own fleet.

The province has pledged $2.74 million, or up to 75 per cent of the capital installation cost, through its Community Infrastructure Fund.

“This is really all about making sustainable transportation options easier for residents, businesses and visitors to Victoria,” Mayor Dean Fortin said. rholmen@vicnews.com

Luxury and Supercar Weekend at VanDusen Garden had a Royal flavour The recent Luxury and Supercar Weekend at Vancouver’s VanDusen Botanical Garden featured cars that have carried members of Britain’s Royal family.

ALYN EDWARDS Front and centre CLASSIC was the 1947 Humber RIDES Pullman Sedanca De Ville limousine originally owned by the Queen Mother and used for Phillip and Elizabeth’s Royal Wedding in 1947. It’s part of the collection of exotic British cars owned and maintained by Steve and Barb Harris of Parksville.

The Humber Pullman was displayed alongside Vern Bethel’s 1939 Buick Royal Tour car, custom built by General Motors for use in the Canada-wide tour of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (the Queen Mother) in May 1939. This marked the first visit to Canada by a British monarch and hundreds of thousands of people saw the Royal couple riding in the Royal Tour car.

The Buick is upholstered in maroon broadcloth with special cushions and matching satin-lined lap robes in the rear. The front seat is trimmed in leather. The floor mats are pure white goatskin fleece. The walnut-trimmed centre partition features an electrically operated divider window. Interior appointments include sterling silver vanity items for Her Majesty.

Setting a new pace for MINI: the all-new MINI Paceman METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM

A sporty new exterior design, lowered suspension for a dynamic ride and an exciting reinterpretation of the familiar interior is part of the MINI Paceman bowing at the Paris Motor Show.

Styled as a coupe interpretation of the Countryman, it has a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just 7.5 seconds. The seventh unique member of the family, it will sell alongside the Hatch, Clubman, Convertible, Countryman, Coupe and Roadster.

Packed with MINI character and obvious design cues which tie it to the rest of the range, the three-door Paceman’s unique exterior styling is what immediately catches the eye.

Built on the Countryman platform, bumper to bumper the car is 4,109 mm.

With a contemporary and expressive body shape, the Paceman has been created to appeal to a new type of design-conscious customer. The prominent horizontal lines and dynamic curved surfaces give the promise of sporting performance, yet there is an elegant simplicity to the overall form of the car.

The Paceman is strictly a four-seater, though practicality has not been sacrificed.

Folding down the rear seats expands the rear load-carrying capacity from 330 litres to a maximum of 1,080 litres. Access is via a large and high-opening tailgate, offering extra practicality for owners.

In the front, the raised seating position gives the driver and passenger an excellent view in every direction. The instrument panel houses many familiar components, including the large round central speedo.

However, its black surround and decorative inner rings in high-gloss black or chrome are new, as are the redesigned air vent surrounds. Buttons for the windows, which have been toggle switches below the speedo on every MINI to date, have moved to the door trim panel.

MINI’s trademark go-kart handling will be a key part of the Paceman’s appeal, enhanced by the optional all-wheel drive transmission.

Lowered sports suspension as standard

SUPER SAVINGS $ 00

MINI expands its model lineup with the Paceman debuting at the Paris Motor Show.

will help provide customers with an outstanding driving experience, though regular suspension and ride height are available as a no-cost option.

During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing.

It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON.

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. It was like magic.

Becky Gerber, 25, Dover, OH Golfing without allergy attacks I 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 I went from doctor to doctor for years with allergy sinus problems. The medications made me still sicker. After starting Bell Allergy Relief one capsule at night I felt like born again the next morning. Therese Noto, 58, New York, NY. ***All Bell Lifestyles products can be returned for a full refund if you are not satisfied.

The Cadillac User Experience will debut in the new XTS model and offers an extensive list of driver/passenger services.

Innovative customer care comes with CUE launch Network of support services available with each new Cadillac equipped with CUE METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM

An extensive network of services will accompany the launch of the Cadillac User Experience, the breakthrough in-vehicle system to access entertainment and information.

Cadillac is launching CUE with training and support resources to enable dealers and customers to provide feedback, ask questions and access support in a number of ways.

New customer care elements include: • A Cadillac CUE App that enables shoppers to “testdrive” the system on an iPad, anytime, anywhere. The CUE app replicates many of the controls and features of the CUE centre stack. The CUE centre screen and control panel represents the first automotive use of capacitive touch and familiar multi-touch gestures.

• Cadillac buyers will be able to download the CUE App on their iPad, along with the MyCadillac App and OnStar RemoteLink App which are available for the iPad and iPhone.

• Each U.S. and Canadian

Cadillac dealership has a trained technology expert to assist customers, providing a personal, local first line of contact during both the shopping and ownership experiences.

• Cadillac’s existing customer assistance services have added specific CUE experts to answer owner questions. Cadillac’s customer assistance centre in Oshawa has specially selected and trained advisors who have expertise in infotainment and mobile devices to help answer questions.

• OnStar, standard on every Cadillac, will have a direct link to these CUE experts as well, for any owners with questions or wishing to provide feedback.

The new XTS, launched earlier this year, is Cadillac’s new interpretation of the luxury sedan. Positioned directly above the brand’s centrepiece CTS product line, the XTS is the most technically advanced car Cadillac has produced so far.

In addition to the debut of CUE, XTS is the only luxury sedan featuring standard Magnetic Ride Control, the world’s fastest-reacting suspension.

Mercedes announces funding for 2013 B-Class METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM

Mercedes-Benz Canada has announced the 2013 B-Class will arrive in dealerships across Canada in November with a starting price of $29,900.

An all-new 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo engine that produces 208 hp and 258 lb/ft of torque will power the 2013 Mercedes-Benz B 250.

This represents an impressive 55-per-cent-gain over the previous generation B 200 engine.

The next generation B-Class also marks the premiere of an extremely compact and variable new 7G-DCT dual clutch transmission that combines the comfort of an automatic with the efficiency of a manual transmission.

Further substantial fuel savings have also been achieved through the addition of the ECO start/stop function as standard equipment.

The B-Class also offers the highest level of standard safety equipment that has ever been available in its class.

THE ONGOING BENEFITS OF OWNING A HONDA

HIGH RESALE VALUE. LOW COST OF OWNERSHIP. AFFORDABLE. RELIABLE. FUEL EFFICIENT. ADVANCED SAFETY. FUN TO DRIVE.

METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM

With 310 hp and 39 mpg, the Audi SQ5 TDI is the new top model in the Q5 model series and also the first S model in the history of Audi with a diesel engine.

Now an extra dash of exclusivity has been added to its potent formula as the SQ5 TDI Audi exclusive concept â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a limited edition version created by high-performance division quattro GmbH â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is readied for its Paris Show debut.

Production of the SQ5 TDI Audi exclusive concept is limited to 50 examples.

The performance SUV will showcase new design features in the interior and an exclusive exterior finish in a limited production run of just 50 vehicles beginning in the first quarter of 2013.

The SQ5 TDI Audi exclusive concept is finished in stunning Aral Blue crystal effect, a shade which was specially developed for this limited production model and which conveys an amazing feeling of depth.

As with every S model from Audi, the exterior mirrors are in aluminum look, and xenon plus headlights with LED daytime running lights are standard. The four exhaust tailpipes dominate the rear of the vehicle.

The interior of the SQ5 TDI Audi exclusive concept incorporates striking contrasts: The leather multifunction sports steering wheel and the gear lever gaiter in black Fine Nappa leather are accentuated with contrasting stitching in snow white, as are the centre armrest and the instrument binnacle cover.

Canadian pricing for Viper announced The Canadian manufacturer’s suggested retail price for the 2013 SRT Viper model has been announced as $99,995 (excluding destination).

Canadian MSRP for the 2013 SRT Viper GTS model will start at $119,995 (excluding destination).

The SRT Viper GTS builds on the DNA of the SRT Viper model with more technologically advanced solutions, like two-mode active suspension, to allow this

Toyota Tundra to tow Space Shuttle Endeavour to the California Science Center METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM

Toyota has announced its Tundra fullsize pickup truck will tow the space shuttle Endeavour during its final journey to the California Science Center.

The Endeavour is to travel a total of 12 miles on Oct. 12 from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on city streets to the Science Center, with the Tundra towing the last quarter mile.

Tested extensively prior to the announcement, the 2012 Tundra was slated to safely tow the 300,000-pound historic artifact down Bill Robertson Lane in Exposition Park, near downtown Los Angeles, on the final leg of its journey.

Endeavour will be towed using a stock 2012 Tundra CrewMax 1/2–ton pickup, identical to models currently found in Toyota dealerships, with no additional modifications made to increase towing capacity or generate more power.

The Tundra CrewMax is equipped with Toyota’s powerful 5.7-litre V8 engine, producing a maximum tow capacity of 10,000 pounds.

Toyota has done extensive testing and worked with The Sarens Group, a heavy lifting and engineered transport company, to develop a dolly specifically for hauling the Endeavour.

world-class GTS to find new capabilities on the track while also opening up its envelope as a more premium and mature evolution of the classic, extreme performance formula Under the hood of both models is the all-aluminum, mid-front 8.4-litre V10 engine that delivers 640 hp and 600 lb/ft. of torque – the most torque of any naturally aspirated sports car engine in the world.

Both SRT Viper and SRT Viper GTS models offer new interior and exterior designs incorporating premium materials.

New exterior surfaces with aerodynamically functional details are beautifully integrated into the hightech carbon fibre and aluminum skin, which helps produce a triple-digit weight reduction and a Viper best power-to-weight ratio.
