People’s Assembly of Victoria participant Anushka Nagji, above, is asked by a Victoria police constable to walk on the sidewalk as she passes out Occupy This Christmas bookmarks to passersby last November on Government Street. Nagji spoke to the News this week about where the Occupy movement is a year later in Victoria. During Occupy Victoria activities last year in Centennial Square (photos right), campers’ daily life was on display to the public.
Occupy Victoria: a year later A Roszan Holmen Reporting
t this time last year, Occupy landed in Victoria. Tents, tarps and couches began to fill Centennial Square, launching the local incarnation of an already wellestablished international movement. For six weeks, activists braved the fall weather before an injunction by the City of Victoria put an end to the encampment. But even as tenters packed up and the square emptied last November, a common question buzzed on the lips of activists: what’s next? “I really tried hard to keep it going by having assemblies and trying to
raise issues I thought people could rally around,” said Robert Duncan, a member of the People’s Assembly of Victoria, which steered the protest by consensus. “People were swearing up and down that there was going to be a lot of camping again (in the) summer, but it didn’t happen.” Inevitably the group dwindled, said Duncan, who works in a group home. “There is a lot of complacency. People don’t feel the issues are touching them in a major way – yet.” So what happened to the movement? One year later, the News caught

up with four activists heavily involved with the People’s Assembly. While the momentum of Occupy may have abated, they all insist it wasn’t a wasted effort. Rather, it sparked debate that continues today about poverty, activism and even the very definition of Occupy. The lessons learned about resistance have energized other protests, said Anushka Nagji. When faced with the city’s injunction last November, the law student used her training to launch a legal defence. It failed, but Occupy Victoria “has inspired and created so many more
cascading events and groups,” Nagji said from Vancouver, where she now studies. She counts the so-called Casserole Protests among them. When the Montreal studenttuition protests spread to other major cities in the spring, Nagji was twice arrested and spent the night in jail. “The second time I was beat up pretty bad; I had a cracked rib and was laid up for about a month,” she said. Occupy also sparked connections, added Michelle Buchanan. PLEASE SEE: Occupy, Page A13

Light up a candle for victims of bullying Teen’s death flashpoint

Roszan Holmen News staff
It’s my responsibility. That’s how Vanessa Downie responded to the news of Lower Mainland teen Amanda Todd’s suicide after years of bullying. “It’s gone on far too long, and we keep passing the responsibility along,� said Downie, who lives in Saanich. “I’m not going to pass it along anymore.� She has organized a candlelight vigil in Beacon Hill Park tonight (Oct. 19). “It’s to pay respect for Amanda and let her know that she is not alone.� By Wednesday morning, 64 people had committed to attending the Facebookpromoted event. Downie herself was bullied growing up. “It was quite rough,� she said. People pretended to be her friends, called her names, poured juice boxes down her shirt. She found solace in her horse. “He was always happy to see me. It made all the difference in the world.� Todd’s death prompted both provincial and federal governments to debate the merits of anti-bullying legislation. Downie sees that as a big step – but said it’s going to take a lot more. “Bullying in general is about education and not education from the school system but (starting) much much younger than that,� she said. The vigil starts at 5 p.m. Visit www.facebook.com/ events/153672141443947/ for information on the gathering point. Signs and balloons in the park will direct people to the location. rholmen@vicnews.com

Drum major for 2136 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps band, Cadet Master Warrant Officer Amber Maguire, stands in her Scottish kit along with fellow band members on practice night Tuesday at the Bay Street Armoury. The cadets are part of this weekend’s Canadian Scottish Reegiment 100th anniversary celebrations in Victoria.
Hail to the Scottish Cadet corps helps celebrate the Canadian Scottish centennial Don Descoteau News staff
Technically, the 2136 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps isn’t part of the Canadian Scottish Regiment. That doesn’t mean the youth group won’t be playing a key role in the army reserve regiment’s 100th anniversary celebrations this weekend in Victoria. The cadet corps, which shares space with the regiment at the Bay Street Armoury, is a youth affiliate of the Canadian Scottish and is honoured to have been asked to participate in the event, says corps commander officer Capt. Cheryl Fearn. “We draw from them, in the form of personnel support and material support,� says Fearn, a civilian volunteer who got involved in 2003 when her oldest son, Tyler joined
$2
cadets, and became an officer two years later. “We very much identify with them and there is a pride that comes with being a Canadian Scottish cadet. We’re the only cadet corps authorized to wear the (Scottish) kit.� On Tuesday night, members of the cadet corps drum and pipes band were tucked inside the band room at the armoury, going over their material to be played this Sunday during the parade and review taking place at Royal Athletic Park. Before practice the corps’ drum major, Cadet Master Warrant Officer Amber Maguire, 18, reflected on how it felt to be participating in such a historic event in her final year of cadets. “I’m really excited,� she said. “We have a lot of pride in the fact our cadet corps is attached to such a great regiment.�

In her fifth year with the corps, the Spectrum community school grad and future law student said the centennial offers the older cadets an opportunity to teach the younger ones about the importance of history to the regiment and its affiliates. “It’s quite an honour for any of us to take part in an event like this,� she said. “We learn all about our history as part of (the cadets program).� The cadet corps, one of four Island cadet groups taking part in the weekend activities, is historic in its own right, at 68 years old. But for this weekend, at least, the spotlight will be on the regiment and its history. “I think it’s crucial that we show them the same support that they show us,� Fearn said. editor@vicnews.com

Debate over school Wi-Fi reignited Natalie North News staff
Debate over allowing wireless Internet into Greater Victoria schools took centre stage this week after a year-and-a-half hiatus. The school district’s Wi-Fi committee, established in January 2011 to investigate parental concerns over alleged health affects
linked to wireless Internet in schools, met Wednesday, after the News’ deadline to review any new information about the technology submitted since May 2011. There was no plan to make a ruling on whether to allow Wi-Fi in schools. All high schools and one elementary school in the district have Wi-Fi, but the

technology hasn’t been installed in any other schools since the committee was struck. “People seem to think that there’s a predetermined outcome, that: ‘The school board is putting Wi-Fi in schools,’” said Peg Orcherton, chair of the Greater Victoria board of education. “The determination as to what would happen hasn’t been made.” The committee set a deadline of Oct. 9 to collect new information for review. A small but vocal group of people opposed to Wi-Fi have submitted about 30 items for review, in addition to nearly 200 website addresses, which did not contain new information,
said Pat Duncan, district associate superintendent and committee chair. Committee member and board trustee Diane McNally, an outspoken opponent of Wi-Fi in schools, questioned the way the committee has unfolded. “We’re (also) concerned that there will be a rollout of Wi-Fi in (kindergarten) to (Grade 5) because there’s no consensus, no decision that it shouldn’t happen and there’s a very serious, large lobby on the other side.” Orcherton said she has empathy for those on both sides of the emotional issue. nnorth@saanich news.com

‘Shred It’ event puts ID theft in spotlight Free document shredding at Tillicum Centre Edward Hill News staff
People may try to steal your identity through online phishing, telephone scams and email spam, but mainly it’s done the old fashioned way – by rooting through your garbage. These days, people often toss utility bills and credit card statements into the recycling or trash and leave it outside for pickup. Even personal documents stored together in an unsecured location in a home or mail left in the mailbox are a risk. To highlight the growing problem of identity theft and the multitude of phone, email and Internet-based scams, the Better Business Bureau of Vancouver Island is hosting its second “Shred It! Secure Your ID Day” event today (Oct. 19).
In the parking lot at Tillicum Centre, the BBB and Access Records and Media Management will employ a mobile shredder. People can destroy up to five boxes of paper documents for free. “Part of the Better Business Bureau mandate is to educate people on not being victims, so people don’t have their IDs stolen or fall victim to scams,” said Rosalind Scott, president of the BBB Vancouver Island. Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre stats show 17,000 people who reported falling victim to ID theft in 2011 lost a combined $13 million. Canadians lost $64 million last year in what police call “mass marketing frauds” – a catchall for telemarketing, email and Internet scams and ID theft. The BBB will also have an identity theft expert on hand to offer advice on avoiding scams and fraud. Scott said the No. 1 trap to avoid is recycling un-shredded personal papers. “The biggest trick is don’t
leave personal documents lying around (outside),” Scott said. “We call it dumpster diving. The prime source for scammers is going through people’s garbage. They’re not in there rooting for food.” It’s such a pressing issue in Greater Victoria, BBB-VI is helping launch “Scam Watch,” a Shaw TV program that is scheduled to air next month. Scott and Victoria police commercial crimes officers will highlight common scams and frauds each week. Police across the region receive no end of reports of attempted and successful frauds. Canadians in their 60s are the highest targeted demographic for scams. Common scams include elderly people getting calls from people claiming to be a grandchild or nephew or niece who request money to get out of a jam (called the “emergency scam” or “grandparent scam”). Scammers hack email accounts and spam friends with fraudulent requests for
money due to supposed trouble while travelling overseas. Some people are still tempted by Nigerian email scams, inheritance scams, lottery and prize scams or foreign money order scams. Fraudulent “Microsoft” or “Apple” technicians have gained access to people’s computers through unsolicited phone calls. “So many red flags come up, but unfortunately we live in tough financial times, where people get carried away trying to get something for nothing.” Scott said. “People need to stop and think: ‘Does this make sense?’ If you’re told you are a lottery winner, did you actually buy a ticket? Does it make sense that you’d get an inheritance from somebody you’ve never met from a country you’ve never set foot in?” Shred It! happens outside Old Navy at Tillicum Centre from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information, visit vi.bbb. org/bbb-business-events. editor@saanichnews.com

A blind runner has filed a human rights complaint against the Victoria International Running Society and the race director of the Times Colonist 10K, after having his request denied to start the run early to avoid race congestion. Graeme McCreath, a 65-yearold Saanich physiotherapist, filed the complaint against the VIRS and race director Jacqui Sanderson, under Section 8 of the Human Rights Code: Discrimination in accommodation, service and facility, for the society’s alleged refusal to accommodate his disability by granting him an early race start time. A B.C. Human Rights Tribunal judge is hearing McCreath’s case this week in public hearing in Victoria. The hearing is scheduled to last up to four days. McCreath, who has a prosthetic left eye and only light perception in the other, has, with the assistance of a guide, run six of the TC10K events, including from 2006 until 2010. McCreath argued that in 2011 he asked to start five minutes ahead of the gun with the wheelchair runners due to the crush of runners in his pace group, the congestion during the first two kilometres of the race and safety hazards caused by those slowing or stopping in front of him. “My own agility has kept me from injury and I’ve tested it too

Blind runner Graeme McCreath has asked permission to start the TC10K race early, but organizers say changes to the run route have made it safer for him and his guide Carlos Castillo to run with his pace group. many times,� said McCreath, who noted that one of his guides once tripped over a runner who had stopped to tie their shoes. “It’s become a real risk.� McCreath ran the eight-kilometre road race at the GoodLife Victoria Marathon, a much smaller event compared to the TC10K by several thousand participants, without issue after starting five minutes early with wheelchair racers. Speaking on behalf of the Victoria International Running Society, lawyer David Mulroney said McCreath’s challenges around running amid the congestion of the first leg of the race should have been addressed by the route change made to the 2011 course. McCreath did not par-
ticipate in last year’s race. “He didn’t get what he was asking for and I understand why Mr. McCreath would be advancing a claim,� Mulroney said. “The VIRS would be happy to work out an accommodation with Mr. McCreath that would meet the safety needs of Mr. McCreath and other visually impaired runners, however the VIRS believes the safest place for Mr. McCreath is running with a guide in his pace group.� McCreath says he’s shocked by the society’s failure to honour his “minimal accommodation.� “I’ve been disrespected in so many ways,� he said. “I feel like a pariah. Nobody seems to care.� nnorth@saanichnews.com

As a professional engineer, Stephen Childs knows how to get the most out of a space. Walk into the compact, splitlevel condominium he shares in Vic West with wife, Jennifer, and 14-month-old daughter, Della, and the first thing one sees is pots and pans, hanging industrial-style on a ceiling-mounted rack. An avid cook, Childs wanted to create more usable space on the counters. He also hates major cleanup jobs. “When you cook, do you do the dishes after dinner or before?” he asks the visitor, with a knowing smile. That aversion to scraping dry, caked-on food from dinner dishes inspired him to create a dish he calls chipotle chili bites. The success of his culinary creation, combined with a New Year’s Resolution to “put himself out there more” and try new experiences, saw Childs enter tryouts for Food Network Canada’s amateur cooking show, Recipes to Riches, with his wife earlier this year in Vancouver. Childs’ flavourful dish combines chili with polenta, an Italian pudding which, when thickened with corn meal, hardens into a crust when cool. “I thought, ‘chili’s good, polenta’s good,’ I wonder how I could make this an edible dish in your hand?” he recalls. The two components are fairly straightforward, he says, but combined they make a unique

Daughter Della, 14 months, waits patiently for her meal. dish that has taken on a life of its own in terms of its popularity with Childs’ friends and coworkers. Entering the competition together was a natural for the couple, who both love to cook, Jennifer says. Her family has a tradition of cooking and baking. She and her sister, who was visiting from Banff, went to the 2011 tryouts on a whim, but missed the cut. This tiome around Jennifer entered her decadent dessert, called moochalicious love cookie chocolate espresso shortbread. She made it past the first round, but saw her husband’s creation earn him a spot on TV. One of 21 national finalists filmed in seven different food categories, Stephen competed against a woman from Alberta and Ladysmith’s Lyndsay Wells in the show’s Savoury Snacks episode, which airs at 8 p.m. PST next Wednesday, Oct. 24. The winner receives $25,000 and qualifies for the national finale,
which offers $250,000 to the overall champion. In true reality TV style, Childs was sworn to secrecy about the result of his episode, even to his wife. “All I know is that he came home with some blisters, so I know he worked hard,” Jennifer says. She harbours not even a friendly grudge against her husband – she rates his chipotle chili bites a “12” on a scale of 1 to 10. “The whole process has solidified how important food is in our life,” she says. Stephen downplays his culinary prowess, noting that “anyone can do it.” Asked what advice he might give aspiring entrants for next year’s show, he says, “Don’t be intimidated by the kitchen. What’s the worst that can happen?” Food Network Canada is channel 30 (245 in HD) on Shaw, 143 (689 in HD) on Telus Optik TV. editor@vicnews.com

Desjardins forces second vote on pay bump Daniel Palmer News staff
Esquimalt’s mayor put a minor pay increase for councillors back on the table Monday night, seeking clarification on the reasons behind a bump in pay for acting mayors. Barb Desjardins revisited a Sept. 17 council motion that gives acting mayors a five per cent stipend, or $694, for a minimum of
two months of appointed duty. An acting mayor is appointed by the mayor in her absence. “It was something that was difficult to bring back, but I felt I had to,” Desjardins said. Among her objections was the understanding that council would hold the line on budget and tax increases. Regardless, the motion was once again approved by a vote of four to three, with Desjardins,

Coun. Lynda Hundleby and Coun. Meagan Brame voting against it. Rookie councillors Tim Morrison, Dave Hodgins, David Schinbein and Robert McKie voted for the stipend. “It ended up with the same result ... so now we move forward,” Desjardins said. Councillors receive an annual salary of $13,885, while the mayor receives $34,600. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Leaf it at the Curb
Victoria residents have two options for leaf collection:
Scheduled Neighbourhood Leaf Collection
Bagged Leaves Call for Pick-up Service
The 2012 City of Victoria Residential Leaf Pick-up Schedule enables you to look up your neighbourhood’s deadline for placing leaves at the curb. Leaves can be placed in loose piles or in tied, clear, 100% compostable bags. Neighbourhood leaf collection begins in November and ends in January.
From October 22 to December 21, Victoria residents can contact the City’s Parks Division at 250.361.0600 to arrange for their bagged leaves to be picked up at the curb within five working days at no additional charge. Bags must be tied, clear and 100% compostable.
There’s no limit to the number of compostable bags or leaf piles you can set out. The 2012 City of Victoria Residential Leaf Pick-up Schedule was mailed in early October to residents who live in single family homes, duplexes or townhouses, and is available at Victoria City Hall, local venues and online.

OUR VIEW
Still occupying our thoughts It’s been a year since a group of individuals calling themselves the People’s Assembly of Victoria gathered in Centennial Square in support of the global Occupy movement. Looking back, many of us in the media found covering the group’s activities at times an exercise in frustration. As people accustomed to finding distinct themes, objectives, solutions and resolutions in our news coverage, we found it tricky to write about a loosely organized collection of individuals that seemed bent on refusing to be defined. We saw divides emerge – a clear generation gap developed – and those willing to have a discussion about Occupy often found themselves in disagreement over what the movement stood for and what it hoped to accomplish. But it wasn’t strictly about arguing that Wall Street is bad, that capitalism promotes corruption, or that the distribution of wealth increasingly favours the rich. People who chose to have a discussion, if they didn’t throw up their hands having failed to get their point across, sometimes found themselves taking new ideas away, or grateful for a chance to offer their perspective. Encouraging communication between disparate groups or individuals may have been one of Occupy’s key accomplishments. Interestingly, the website for the People’s Assembly of Victoria (occupyvictoria.ca) gives its supporters tips for being interviewed by the media. In general they speak to inclusivity and courteousness, sticking to specific topics instead of making blanket statements, and being pro-change, not anti-system. It’s information that might have helped writers who, at the height of the protests last year, struggled to create a level of understanding about the local Occupy movement and why it was relevant in Victoria. Little has changed since then in terms of the redistribution of wealth, either in the Capital Region or globally. That doesn’t necessarily mean Occupy failed. For an unfocused, unfunded gathering of malcontents, the movement was remarkably successful – it woke people up and changed the conversation. What do you think?

That must have taken quite a bit of employee re-education over at the Fisgard Street office. Repeat after me: “Screened sewage is bad, secondary sewage treatment is good ...” A major independent scientific review in 2006 on the impact of dumping screened sewage into the ocean agreed that the Strait of Juan de Fuca is pretty good at flushing effluent away, and that bacteria plumes only rise to the surface during major rain events. Basically, the risk to human health is minimal, unless you are swimming laps offshore in a storm. The report didn’t let the city off the hook – it said Victoria’s contribution of contaminants is probably minor, but the CRD needed much better information on the toxicity and impact on the marine environment near the outflows. It didn’t recommend sewage treatment outright, but said flushing wastewater into the strait isn’t a long-term solution. It’s tough to argue against that. But is jumping to expensive secondary treatment necessary? If some form of sewage treatment is inevitable, the tax burden needs to be phased in incrementally. Victoria is expensive enough. Suddenly raise taxes by $300 and something will hit the fan. -- Edward Hill is the editor of the Saanich News. editor@saanichnews.com

OPINION
Northerner presents view of the ferry system You’re expecting me to rant and rave about B.C. Ferries, aren’t you? I expect so. I suppose I could, but I’m just not sure what point there is to it anymore. A lot of folks – residents, and representatives of industry and local government throughout the province – have been responsible for some damned fine Bruce ranting and raving on this subject over the years. And guess, what? Nobody’s listening. I’m not sure that anybody’s ever been listening. B.C. Ferry Commissioner Gord Macatee has approved a 12-per-cent fare increase over three years. Allegedly this is to offset capital expenditures (read, “failure of the province to maintain the fleet until it
was almost too late”). Deborah Marshall once again pointed out, in a tired, thinly-veiled reference to the northern routes, that some of their departures were sailing empty. We all placed our hope in Gord Macatee. Were our hopes misplaced, or were the overwhelming facts and advice that residents showered upon him in his travels across the Wishart province simply not able to stand up to a political agenda? Don’t ask me. Because you see, I can only find two remaining ways to view this. The first is that B.C. Ferries is a ship of fools, guided by folks so inexperienced in the basic principles of business that they’d drive a lemonade stand into bankruptcy. I don’t believe that. I know
many of those same people, and they tend to be pretty clever. The second and only remaining option is that we are witnessing the coldly planned obsolescence of northern ferry service. Fares are driven up until ridership drops, then fares are driven higher, until in the end we are told that it is sadly and inevitably necessary to cease or seriously reduce service. It saddens me that I have no option left but to believe this second scenario. I’m sad because what seemed to be a compassionate and receptive tour of the province by commissioner Gord Macatee turns out to have been no more than lip service. I’m sad because it means that the proud old Dogwood Fleet now views itself as no more than a profitable bus service between Vancouver and the Island. But more than anything I’m sad because it means that the
province just doesn’t care about the subsidy agreement of April 18, 1977, and all of the other demonstrations of federal and provincial responsibility for a marine highway on the B.C. coast. They don’t care about northern industry, or about B.C. residents outside the urban centres. I know I’ve become tiresome in pointing out that the loss of the Queen of the North shook the tourism industry from the gate receipts at Buchart Gardens to hotel reservations in Saskatchewan, but this rate increase also shows that the province doesn’t give a lick about the vital industry of tourism in B.C. I’m not proposing a conspiracy theory. I have been led to a logical, inescapable conclusion. If there’s an alternate explanation for skyrocketing fares being used to kill northern ferry service, I hope that the premier will explain it to us. In fact, given how vital
this service is to the northern economy and standard of living, I pray that the premier will explain it. And please, Premier Clark, no more of this, “We simply weren’t able to sell our bottles of soda pop at $20 each, so we now have no choice but to sell them for $25.” I’m sure that in addition to having grown cranky and jaded, I may have also become a tad doddery in my declining years. I’m sure that this is simply a case of my being unable to think clearly enough to understand your vision. But either way, please give us the truth. We can handle it. If you just don’t care, please tell us so that we may govern ourselves accordingly. Bruce Wishart is a regular contributor to Black Press’ Northern View newspaper.

LETTERS Social media to blame for teen’s death Re: Death of mainland teen Amanda Todd How sad, another teen loses her life because of bullies. We have all done stupid things in our lives, but we did not have instant replay around the world. I like this quote: “If people try to bring you down, it only means you are above them.” Tragic that this young lady did not realize that. When will the powers that be realize that social media websites are addictive? Just as marijuana use can lead to depression, addiction and loss of life in some people, so can these immoral websites. Some people make a lot of money hosting these websites but do not seem to care about the victims. These kind of sites need to be shut down immediately and changes need to be made.

Political will on sewage treatment emerging in CRD Re: Sewage debate clogs CRD committee (News, Oct. 12) How revealing it is to see some civic political posturing at the 11th hour of the Capital Regional District’s regional sewage treatment debate. Are the silent majority of the public beginning to be heard? There certainly needs to be some repositioning on the Victoria sewage treatment question at the provincial and federal levels. With a provincial election in the new year and the federal byelection for Victoria looming in the more immediate future, the sewage treatment issue will unquestionably be on the minds of many voters like myself. It will be interesting to
find out what the platforms of candidates running in that byelection are. The current treatment plan is almost a billion dollars and likely to be full of cost overruns. Indeed, cost overruns seem to be a common occurrence, with large, publicly funded infrastructure projects. Therefore, may we assume we are on the precipice of yet another billion-dollar boondoggle, like the B.C. Hydro Smart Meter fiasco? Technology is available which is more affordable, and which screens source contaminants better than the proposed plan, or so we are told by many leading scientific thinkers who have studied this issue. Therefore, if this is in fact the case, you would think politicians and bureaucrats alike should be promoting such a solution, wouldn’t you? Please let us all write to our political representatives and urge them to vote for science and reason to prevail on this issue. There are seniors, families, small businesses and others who can ill afford yet another fat bill from the plutocracy. Ernest Robertson Oak Bay
Scientists, former MP likely have facts straight Re: Flushing our sewage far from an ideal situation (Letters, Oct. 12) I would be interested to know what Tyler Ahlgren’s background is on this issue, as everything I have heard from marine scientists suggests that Victoria’s current sewage system is adequate and that adding secondary treatment would not lead to a significant improvement in water quality. Primary and secondary treatment facilities are designed to remove solids as well as organic matter and are not particularly effective at removing nutrients
and most other chemicals. I am curious to know what the “chemicals of concern” are that are 98 per cent removed. Several of the communities mentioned in the article do not have good flushing into a large body of water (Sidney, Port Townsend, Sequim, Salt Spring). There is also a big difference in scale for Sooke (serving around 4,000 families). David Anderson is someone who I know cares very deeply about our environment and I am inclined to think he has his facts straight. Mike Anderson Saanich
Canadian’s shame over Syria is misplaced Re: Children victimized in Syrian civil war (Letters, Oct. 12) I must reject Rachelle Dallaire’s naive postulation concerning the obligation of Canada’s government and media with regard to the plight of children in war-torn Syria. In proclaiming to be “ashamed to be Canadian” because not enough is being done, she clearly shows that she has her head buried in the sand and is ignoring that there are millions of disabled, sick and starving people in many other parts of the world (including Canada) with equal claim to our attentions and support. As in most things, there have to be priorities and working with these is the only way to progress and succeed, rather than chasing around the globe like headless chickens, trying to save the whole world at a stroke. There is only so much that governments and international aid organizations can achieve and it is abundantly clear that they are doing everything possible within the limits placed upon them. For example, to reach the wretched people (children and adults) whose lives
are being devastated in the Middle East, the problems are often not just a matter of enthusiasm, funding and logistics on the part of the givers, but rather the integrity, goodwill and trust at the receiving end. If peacekeeping forces cannot secure safe passage in those countries, then what chance is there for anyone else. Finally, I suggest it is nonsense to lambast the media for not pleading the plight of Syria’s children. Their job is to report the facts so that we, as well as the likes of Stephen Harper, are moved to support the multitude of amazing people around the world who are already doing, in an organized and effective way, what Ms. Dallaire craves. I fear the lady’s “shame” is both misplaced and misleading. Derrick Johns Oak Bay

HELP SOLVE Who was the tree vandal? In the early morning hours of March 22, 2012, a resident on Kimta Road in Victoria West awoke to the sound of a chainsaw. When they went out on their balcony they saw a suspect male running off with a chainsaw in hand. He escaped along the Songhees walkway. Further investigation revealed the male had been cutting a forty-foot-tall Western Cedar in Lime Bay Park on Kimta Road. Unfortunately, due to damage caused by the chainsaw, the tree had to be cut down for safety reasons. The consulting arborists advised this had been a good, healthy tree, approximately 30 years old with an estimated value of $21,500.

‘Occupy’ belongs to no one, says name-dropping group Continued from Page A1
“Some really strong bonds were made in the camp last fall, and those continue to exist,” she said. “We were divided a little bit; you were an environmentalist or you were a social justice activist … and the camp had a great quality of bringing us all together to realize that our goals were very similar.” While the People’s Assembly embraced an inclusive philosophy, it did not include everyone. Buchanan was tasked with social media for the group and she struggled to distinguish its aims from a second group that lays claim to the word Occupy. That struggle continues today, as both groups continue to organize events. On Oct. 20, the local chapter of an anticorruption movement called We Are Change will hold a rally under the banner “Occupy Victoria Returns.” Speakers at the “freedom and “Young people solutions” rally will and old people were focus on the flaws of the monetary system. asking questions. Banks, rather than What is happening government, are credit, explains right now, in terms issuing organizer Josh Steffler. of corporatism? The system siphons too much money How is that control off to repay the debt, manifest? How is it rather than to fund social programs, he hidden from us?” continued. Steffler’s group also – Victoria activist believes in chem trails, a 9-11 cover up and a Terence Stone global warming fraud. The People’s Assembly sees these ideas as hostile to their cause, but the rift does raise an interesting question. What ideas can legitimately belong to Occupy when the movement itself defies specific aims and demands? “They feel they have a monopoly, (but) nobody gets to define Occupy,” said Steffler. For his part, Duncan dismisses the group as conspiracy theorists. Occupy is generally understood to represent the consensus on the left, he said. Nagji defines it in similarly broad terms, as resistance to oppression. For many people, the lack of tangibility has made Occupy a hard sell. It has also left the movement vulnerable to misinterpretation, admitted Terence Stone, another activist. In August 2011, the 68-year-old clinical counsellor returned from a trip to India and South East Asia. There, he witnessed what he characterized as the “residual oppression” of colonization and war. Getting involved with the People’s Assembly seemed a natural fit. Using his large stock pot, Stone cooked up big batches of spicy peanut soups and hauled them to Centennial Square to share. Occupy connected people to poverty and homelessness in a profound way, he said. But in the wider community, there were huge misunderstandings, Stone said. The protest was attacked for not having specific demands. However, that was also its strength, he said. Rather than proposing solutions, Occupy was about posing the right questions. “Young people and old people were asking questions,” he said. “What is happening right now, in terms of corporatism? How is that control manifest? How is it hidden from us?” These are the important questions to ask moving forward, he said. At this point, the activists don’t predict a re-Occupy movement in the near future. They do, however, describe a resurgence as likely at some point. Duncan predicts the global economic crisis is just ramping up.
“It will make the 1930s look like child’s play,” he said. Occupy formed a network of activated people who are just below the surface; when the crisis hits, he said, “a community could be reactivated in an instant.” rholmen@vicnews.com
Upcoming protest to defend coast The people behind Occupy Victoria and Occupy Vancouver turn their attention to B.C.’s coast on Monday (Oct. 22). A mass sit-in at the legislature, protesting the rising threat of pipelines and tankers, aims to send the message “the West Coast is not for sale.” Anyone who wants to participate in the day of action is asked to attend a one-day training session this Sunday. On Oct. 24, activists across the province will get involved by linking arms at their local MLA offices. For more information on the protests, visit occupyvictoria.ca or defendourcoast.ca.

Q TIM COLLINS NEWS STAFF
Joan Hirons has always been an energetic, vibrant woman – enjoying activities like line dancing, tap dancing and working as a volunteer at the Monterey Centre in Oak Bay. At age 78 she felt Åt and ready to meet the world. Then last July, Hirons was at the entrance to the centre when she twisted her body without moving her feet and broke her hip. “It wasn’t a fall, or an accident of any kind,” she said. “I just planted my feet and turned.” She was still recovering from that injury

when in October, she broke her other hip while at home. Hirons was eventually diagnosed with osteoporosis, a chronic disease that is characterized by low bone mass and the deterioration of bone tissue. She was told that she faced a signiÅcant period of recovery at Royal Jubilee Hospital. “I had no idea that I had a problem,” Hirons said. “I wasn’t feeling weak or anything like that. It’s one of those silent things that can affect you without a lot of warning.” Hirons’ story is all too common, said Larry Funnel, chair of the Osteoporosis

“They leave the hospital with a cast, but are still unaware that they are suffering from a chronic disease,” Funnel said. For Hirons, the story h has a positive ending. D Despite her fractures, she has recovered and her diagn diagnosis allowed her to make th the appropriate changes in her life. During her two months of recovery and rehabilitation at Royal Jubilee, Hirons began to participate in osteo-Åt classes. The classes are designed to teach participants how to minimize twisting and bending from the waist, while leading them through a series of movements designed to increase

Patient Network. About 80 per cent of women with the chronic disease are undiagnosed, n he said. “The Årst indication that they have a problem is when a fracture occurs,” Funnel said. The situation is even worse for men. Even though about 20 per cent of men will at some point in their lifetime suffer an osteoporotic break, nearly 95 per cent of those men are undiagnosed. And both men and women may continue to be undiagnosed, even after a fracture.

COLUMNIST I come by this senior reÆection honestly enough. Like most of you I have been bombarded by Internet photos of Prince Harry romping around his Las Vegas hotel suite in the buff. In the conservative shelter of my reclining years these photos remind me that I was pretty cheeky when I was a younger man. They also remind me that one of my truly cheeky professional moments came during a conversation with Harry’s mom when he was just a baby. In my defence, I was fully dressed. Let me take you back more than a quarter century. Five years after their “wedding of the century” Prince Charles and Princess Diana came to B.C. for Expo ’86. In Victoria the Lieutenant Governor hosted a media reception. I had covered the wedding in London for the Vancouver Sun and was struck then by how powerfully Lady Di radiated her shy bewilderment at the spectacle in which she was the centre piece.

Victoria Senior The Big Issue continued from 15 upper body strength and improve the muscles around the bones. Those muscles can offer support to the skeletal structure and reduce fractures. Once she was released from hospital, Hirons sought out similar osteo-Åt classes at the Monterey Centre. She participates in those classes twice a week, and repeats the exercises at home. “I don't want to get frail,” she said. “You can never be too Åt.” “There are wonderful success stories like Joan’s out there, and we like to focus on them,” Funnel said. “Still, education is key, especially for men. Men are statistically more likely to die from complications arising from osteoporotic fractures than they are to succumb to prostate cancer. But they’ll have heard all about that cancer but know nothing about osteoporosis.” Exercise, lifestyle and treatment of osteoporosis are some of the topics addressed in an upcoming free information session to be held Thursday, Nov. 1, at the Fairmont Empress Hotel. The session will be hosted by the Canadian Osteoporosis Patients Network and will feature a number of prominent experts in the Åeld who will discuss the latest developments in osteoporotic care.

Alternative fair highlights region’s craft craze It isn’t your grandma’s craft fair. On Saturday (Oct. 20), a collection of young emerging artists, designers and musicians will showcase their creations at United Eclectic, a maker’s market at Church of Our Lord Hall, 626 Blanshard St. “We created the market as a way to launch local emerging artisans and designers ... and give the public an idea of what young, local artists are up to,” said co-founder Alexa Gilker, who is organizing the event with Jasmine and Rachel Nielsen,
Vendors include Lindsay Delaronde, a Mohawk artist who makes traditional moccasins and hand-painted canoe paddles, as well as Field & Fraser, who produce button stud earrings and personalized typewriter screenprints. Local eatery Nourish will be on site as a food vendor, and local bands Towers and Trees and the frontmen of The Wicks will be providing a musical backdrop. “There’s an old-fashioned cake walk happening where we stop the market and
everyone has to walk around the numbers on the floor and when the music stops, whoever gets their number pulled wins a cake donated from local Origin Bakery. That’s probably my favourite part,” Gilker said. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $2 for adults, and kids get in free.

Childhood obesity is among the country’s top health concerns and a University of Victoria researcher is attacking the issue, one family kitchen at a time. David Trill, a master’s candidate in the school of exercise science, physical and health education at UVic, is studying child health through eating activities and is currently seeking a second round of participants to complete his homebased research project. Forty sets of parents and their children have so far participated, but Trill is looking for 30 more families, each with a child aged nine to 13. The program requires one in-person orientation and roughly one hour of homework each week, for which families are given a take-home tool kit, including the Canada Food Guide and a recipe booklet. Trill has recently partnered with the London Chef cooking school downtown to offer a complimentary cooking skills workshop for families who participate. “Parents are sometimes a little lazy getting their kids in the kitchen,” Trill said. “I wanted to be as flexible and as accommodating to the families as possible, sort of like a weekly cooking session with you and your kids for eight weeks.” For research purposes, Trill only requires one child to participate from each family, but he encourages larger families to involve everyone in the process. The project is intended to promote, educate and celebrate good, healthy food for children and their parents, as well as share sensible choices and

A number of Canadian rowers who were named to the 2012 Olympic team (above) have signed their name to a letter directed at the trio of high performance directors for Rowing Canada. The letter demands transparency and a change in the process of the third-party review being conducted this fall. Not all the rowers in the above photo put their name on the letter, while some current athletes have abstained despite being in favour of the request.
Athletes take stand against Rowing Canada Travis Paterson News staff
Just as the flames began to fade from the recent firing of Rowing Canada coach Mike Spracklen on Oct. 1, it appears some embers are still burning strong. This week a group of 29 national team rowers, past and present, issued a letter of protest regarding the recent decisions of Rowing Canada. “Though most of the group are supporters of (Spracklen), we are in agreement (his situation) is the symptom of a larger problem,” said Domenic Seiterle. Seiterle, who is based out of Oak Bay, and Kyle Hamilton, now a Victoria lawyer, were part of the 2008 men’s heavyweight eight that rowed to gold at the Beijing Olympics. The pair are at the forefront of the group which signed an open letter to Rowing Canada’s president Michael Murphy, and the media, on Tuesday (Oct. 16). The letter singled out the titles, but not the names, of high performance director

Canada, Argentina to meet in ARC final Canada is looking to dethrone Argentina as the Pan-American rugby champs The two sides will meet in the Americas Rugby Championship final, Saturday night at Langford’s Westhill Stadium.

Jordan Wilson-Ross (Alliston, Ont.) and Clayton Meeres (Chilliwack) each scored a try for Canada in the second half.

Kickoffs are 5:30 p.m. for U.S.A. (0-2) versus Uruguay (0-2) and 7:30 p.m. for Canada versus Argentina. sports@vicnews.com

‘Flower lady’ embodies community spirit Norma Fitzsimmons, the woman who started Victoria’s famed flower count, is still beautifying the city Brittany Lee News staff
Tucked away in a cul-de-sac by Cadboro Bay beach sits a ranchstyle home known to neighbours as the meeting place. For years, Norma Fitzsimmons has welcomed new and longtime neighbours into her Saanich home, allowing them to get to know each other through community potluck dinners. Turning 90 in August hasn’t slowed down the longtime florist and former owner of Island Florist. Her big annual neigbourhood event and volunteer efforts remain an integral part of her life. Born and raised in Victoria, Fitzsimmons’ love of flowers blossomed at an early age. Becoming a florist was “the most wonderful thing,” she says. “I’m my happiest when I’m working with flowers.” Indeed, the former Saanich councillor – she held one term during the 1970s – was once known as Victoria’s “flower lady.” She worked with the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce and the Victoria AM Association, developing ideas to promote Victoria as a “City of Gardens.” She started the annual and now famed Victoria Flower Count, as well as the tradition of greeting
Brittany Lee/News staff
Longtime florist Norma Fitzsimmons, 90, once known as Victoria’s flower lady, is still an active member of the community. Besides hosting annual neighbourhood potlucks in her Saanich home, she continues to do floral arrangements on a volunteer basis for several local organizations. cruise ship visitors with a gift – originally roses, carnations and now pins. These days she still assembles floral arrangements for the Greater
Victoria Art Gallery as a volunteer, and often donates arrangements to Our Place, the Victoria Symphony, as well as the Victoria Conservatory of Music.
“I just get involved with everything and anybody,” she says. The self-professed people-person remembers getting caught stealing flowers from her neighbour’s yard
DINING BY DESIGN
when she was a little girl. These days, Fitzsimmons has a better relationship with her neighbours. Back in the 1980s, being the last homeowner in the cul-de-sac to finish building her home, Fitzsimmons felt she needed to get to know her neighbours. “I thought, ‘If you live in a culde-sac, you have to know everybody.’” Fitzsimmons invited neighbours from the seven other homes and nearby streets to a potluck during the summer of 1985. Since then it has become an annual event. “Everybody got to know each other,” she says. She also throws a yearly Christmas party. The camaraderie among her 30 or so neighbours is what keeps her potlucks an annual summer affair. “We’re just like one big family,” she says. The parties are always warm and welcoming, Fay Jones, a neighbour of Fitzsimmons for 22 years, says, noting there are always floral arrangements adorning the house. “She’s a perfect hostess,” Jones says. “It’s just a lovely evening which we all look forward to.” editor@vicnews.com

Gasoline may run in the veins of North Vancouver pharmaceutical sales executive Robyn MacKenzie. She was born Robyn Gray and grew up in ALYN EDWARDS Kamloops where her CLASSIC father was a prominent RIDES lawyer. Robyn’s family members are direct descendents of Chatham, On. carriage builder William Gray, a Scottish immigrant blacksmith who started a company in 1853 that would go on to build one of Canada’s best-loved early cars – the Gray-Dort. It was only natural that a summer holiday was planned by the MacKenzie family that would include the Gray-Dort owner’s reunion, held every year in the Chatham area where 23,000 examples of the car were built between 1915 and 1924. “I was there with my husband and three daughters and saw a sign saying: Happy Birthday Robyn,” she recalls of the event four years ago. “I thought it was nice that they were recognizing someone named Robyn for having a birthday.” A cover was removed from a restored 1922 Gray-Dort by Robyn’s husband Cameron. The car displayed birthday signs making it clear the car was being presented to Robyn MacKenzie as a present for her 50th birthday. “I was overwhelmed and couldn’t believe it,” she recalls of the moment.

Robyn MacKenzie with her 1922 Gray-Dort Special that was manufactured by the company owned by her great grandfather.
“Everyone there had known about this and had kept it a secret.” The family joined the Gray-Dort tour with the car as a memorable feature of their vacation. To make the presentation even more special, Robyn had ridden in this very car with her father and three sisters when she was 11 years old. “My father, Robert Gray, was the great-grandson of William Gray who founded the Gray Carriage Company in
Chatham,” she says ys off the e fa ffamily am miiily lly y history. “His grandfather dfath her was Robert Gray who took over the he company h when his father died.” The elder Gray had been killed in a railway ailway accident, leaving the operation of his company that built nearly a quarter of a million horse-drawn carriages to his 22-year-old son.

Gray-Dort Special Continued from Pg. B1
the future for the buggy building company was in automobiles. He studied the automotive industry in nearby Detroit for two years before striking an alliance with Flint, Michigan car builder Dallas Dort to build cars of his design in the Chatham carriage factories. Factory one was for assembly and upholstery. The second factory was where the bodies were constructed and the third was for stamping body panels. The company claimed the cars were Canadian because 60 per cent of the parts used were produced in Ontario. Gray-Dort cars used four cylinder Lycoming engines delivering 28 horsepower. The sturdy well-built touring, roadster and coupe models were very popular outselling all other makes of cars in many parts of the country. So it was that a Mr. Jamison from Edmonton traveled to Chatham to pick up his new 1922 Gray-Dort Special. With a maroon body and black fenders, the Special was the first Gray-Dort to have front and rear bumpers, a parking light on the left front fender, five steel disc wheels and a combination tail, stop and backup light. After driving his car for decades, Mr. Jamison left his precious Gray-

Dort touring car to his nephew. Spence Jamison had the car restored in Edmonton in 1967. That same year, his car carried then Prime Minister Lester Pearson and his wife in the Klondike Days Parade. Two years later, Robyn MacKenzie’s father Robert Gray connected with Spence Jamison who took the family for a ride in the car when they were on holidays in Edmonton. Robyn was 11 years old. She continues to be amazed that she now owns that same car. Her car is displayed at North Shore classic car shows and is used for family picnics and outings driven by Cameron, an Air Canada pilot for 33 years. “I nearly had it

up to 40 miles per hour,” he grins. “The car is called Gladys after my grandmother. She was a grand old lady just like the car,” Robyn says with pride. Sadly, the Gray Manufacturing Company didn’t fare as well as Robyn MacKenzie’s venerable 1922 Gray-Dort touring car. By 1923, Dallas Dort was in ill health and informed the Gray family that he was shutting down production of the automobile that wore his name. Robert Gray tried to forge an alliance with another car company to build their cars in Canada, but without success. People stopped buying the cars out of concern there would no longer be parts available. The Gray-Dort company went from having a half million dollar surplus to being $1.5 million in debt before closing the doors forever. It is estimated that of the 23,000 produced in Chatham, as few as 40 GrayDort automobiles remain in existence. They are with enthusiastic owners as far away as England and Australia and, of course, Robyn MacKenzie of North Vancouver, whose great-greatgrandfather founded the company that built her car.

Volvo Car Corporation paved the way for a totally new segment with the V70 Cross Country when launched in 1997. Now, 15 years later, the all-new Volvo V40 Cross Country brings the unique blend of capable ruggedness and expressive elegance up to a new altitude by establishing the Cross Country name in the premium C-segment. Start/Stop is fitted as standard across the range, together with Bluetooth hands-free communication and wireless music playing, plus City Safety auto-braking technology and the V40’s world-first pedestrian airbag. The V40 Cross Country is also the only car in its class to be available with Pedestrian Detection technology. The V40 Cross Country is the third variant of the V40 to be revealed – it has a more rugged style than the standard V40, and is also distinct to the sports styling of the R-Design model. Inside, the Raw Copper exterior launch colour is echoed in the contrasting stitching – and it can be emphasized even further by choosing the Copper
Dawn centre stack inlay. The V40 Cross Country features class-leading driving dynamics with All-Wheel-Drive as standard on the T5 gasoline turbo to enhance the all-road, allweather, capability. The five-cylinder 2.5-litre T5 engine has a power output of 254 hp and comes with automatic transmission and acceleration from 0-60 mph takes 6.0 seconds. Fuel consumption is 34 mpg (EU Combined). To make altitude-changing adventures more comfortable for the driver, the V40 Cross Country also features Hill Descent Control on the T5 AWD version, which controls the car’s speed automatically when driving down steep inclines. The V40 T5 AWD Cross Country also has a practical Hill Hold function that makes starting on a hill easier. The T5 version comes with an automatic six-speed Geartronic gearbox only, while the T4 is available with the automatic sixspeed Powershift transmission or a six-speed manual gearbox. The Powershift operates in principle as two parallel manual gearboxes with separate clutches, a system that provides quick and fuel-saving gear changes.

Climatic Wind Tunnel puts all-new Malibu Turbo to the test Indoor torture testing simulates extreme weather conditions
Neither snow nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night kept product development engineers from swift completion of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu Turbo, arriving this month. The location for all of this torture testing was General Motors’ Climatic Wind Tunnel in Warren, Mich., where all Chevrolet vehicles take on the elements. On the hottest days of summer, the new Malibu Turbo withstood blizzard and hurricane conditions inside the wind tunnel, where the temperature can replicate -40C and the wind can blow 240 km/h. Even on the coldest nights of winter, the tunnel’s temperature can easily climb to 60 degrees C under 1,155 watts per square meter of simulated sunshine. At this state-of-the-art facility, engineers take vehicle development and validation testing to the extremes, subjecting powertrain cooling, cabin heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems to the harshest weather conditions found from Death Valley, Calif. to Denali, Alaska. The wind tunnel also simulates driving actual roads with real-world weight burdens, such as hauling a fully loaded trailer up a steep incline by applying resistance through the wheels of the tunnel’s dynamometer, a tool that also allows simulated driving speeds of up to 250 km/h. Engineers used the tunnel’s blizzardmaking capability to test Malibu Turbo’s air induction system, which is designed to prevent snow from clogging the vehicle’s air cleaning system. The system’s torturous path of multiple barriers blocks water molecules while allowing air to flow freely for engine combustion. Malibu Turbo’s powertrain cooling system was developed in the tunnel and attuned to the car’s specific powertrain heat outputs and airflow characteristics to provide optimal performance even in extreme heat and cold. The system is designed to allow wide

open throttle acceleration at eggfrying Death Valley temperatures, and has been validated in that desert location. Malibu Turbo’s occupant comfort is just as important when the going gets hot. The car’s air conditioning system was tested against tunnel simulations of the high heat and humidity found along the Gulf Coast. This torture test helps ensure that Malibu Turbo’s all-new 2.0litre engine delivers the rapid cooldown performance expected of a turbocharged power plant.

the company is now giving everyone the chance to explore in more detail the stories and achievements that have inspired it in a new Facebook tab feature at http://www.facebook.com/ landrover/app_140595682752253 The Land Rover Facebook page tells the stories behind the brand in a series of dedicated pages with images and direct links to archive and contemporary video clips, hosted on YouTube. Visitors can learn more about how the Land Rover story began, the continuous development of its engineering and design capabilities, its global achievements and its status today as one of the world’s most respected premium car manufacturers. The sequence begins with Conceived on a Beach and an insight into how Maurice and Spencer Wilks’ post-war vision for a simple, rugged, goanywhere vehicle was realized
and how Land Rover’s early history developed. The second chapter is dedicated to global expeditions, showing how they have demonstrated the supreme toughness and reliability of Land Rover models. It features footage and reminiscences from the original 1955 Overland Expedition, and from this year’s Journey of Discovery, in which the one millionth Discovery recreated the spirit of that first adventure in a marathon fund-raising drive from Birmingham to Beijing – a feat that yielded £1 million for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. Above and Beyond brings the Land Rover story right up-todate with details of the all-new Range Rover and a film which reveals more about the vehicle’s development, from Design Director Gerry McGovern and the team which produced it.

Ford develops carbon fibre technology to deliver more fuel-efficient vehicles METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
Ford Motor Company has unveiled a prototype carbon fibre hood that could help lower fuel consumption. The carbon fibre reinforced plastic Ford Focus hood displayed at the Composites Europe event in Dusseldorf, Germany, is constructed from the superstrong material more usually associated
with hand built racing vehicles or highperformance super cars. The prototype bonnet is 50 per cent lighter than a standard steel part. As a result of an on-going research project involving engineers from the Ford European Research Centre, production time for an individual carbon fibre bonnet is fast enough to be employed on a production line – a
significant step towards using more lightweight materials. Carbon fibre offers a very high strength-to-weight ratio. It is up to five times as strong as steel, twice as stiff, and one-third the weight. Advanced materials such as carbon fibre are key to Ford’s plans to reduce the weight of its cars by up to 340 kg by the end of the decade.
Ford is showing how carbon fibre can be used in the construction of cars with this carbon fibre-reinforced plastic hood.

Around it goes: This month, the speedometer turns 110 years-old By land, water or air, when people travel, they also want to know how fast they are going. To do so in a car, the driver simply looks at the speedometer. This tool to track automobile speed is considered to have been born in 1902, because October 7 of that year was when engineer Otto Schulze registered the eddycurrent speedometer at the Imperial Patent Office in Berlin. The groundbreaking invention quickly spread through the global automotive industry. Speedometers are rev counters, which show the number of revolutions of the wheel or the gear shaft as a distance per unit of time. From the first eddy-current speedometers to the instruments of today, technology has made great progress. In Otto Schulze’s eddy-current speedometer, a flexible shaft transmits the number of revolutions of the wheel or gear shaft to the speedometer and sets a magnet in rotation there. This rotation generates eddy currents in a metal disk, which is located over the magnet and is penetrated by its magnetic field. The reaction between the magnetic field and the eddy currents creates a torque which moves the disk in one direction. For the instrument’s indicator to show the correct speed value, a calibrated spring holds the disk against the torque of the magnetic field. Today, however, rev counters and speedometers are based on electronics, from the sensors to the indicators. The stepper motor moves the speedometer needle by a minimal angle (step) or by a multiple thereof. The smaller the step length, the more precise the movement of the speedometer needle. Microcontrollers convert the signals from the speed sensor on the wheel into the necessary steps of the stepper motor. The type of indication does not differ much from the first speedometers 110 years ago. Although the first fully digital LCD display appeared in 1986 in the Volkswagen Golf II GTI, most drivers still look at a needle that moves on a round scale and indicates the speed or number of revs. The fact that speedometers and rev counters are usually round is largely for ergonomic reasons. Round instruments can be read intuitively so the driver can focus attention on the road and still obtain the most important information. That is why instruments such as the speedometer, the rev counter, the tank display and the most important warning lights are all kept together within the
driver’s direct field of vision (of around 30 degrees), usually in an instrument panel behind the steering PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT: Offers valid until October 31, 2012.
