Aging trestle sparks questions over costs I

t may be bumpy and poorly lit, but these inconveniences haven’t put a dent in the popularity of the Selkirk Trestle. Today, the old train bridge is crowded with cyclists and pedestrians, boasting more than 700,000 crossings annually. But the wood-planked deck and lighting issues could soon be overshadowed by other problems that would require costly repairs. A recent condition report of the trestle reveals the 96-year-old structure needs attention. And a reread of the 1993 lease agreement between the province and the Capital Regional District leaves more questions than answers surrounding who will pay to keep the trail bridge in working order. The extent of the problems facing the trestle came to the attention of the CRD in late 2011. At that time, the condition report of the trestle’s lift span revealed too many problems

to safely open the bridge to allow boats to pass underneath. Lloyd Rushton, general manager of CRD parks, turned to the province for help. “We trust that, as owners of the bridge, the Province will carry out any necessary repairs to enable the CRD to resume its operation of the lift span,” Rushton wrote in a letter to the Ministry of Transportation dated Dec. 23, 2011. In response, the province paid 83 per cent of a $25,000 bill for repairs to the lift that were deemed urgent. The job isn’t finished, however. More costly repairs are needed by summer 2014 to prevent further deterioration of the structural steel. The cost estimate of the next phase of work was redacted from the report, obtained by the News through a Freedom of Information request, but CRD parks manager Jeff Ward said repairs will

cost in the high tens of thousands of dollars. The 1993 agreement between the two governments for use of the Galloping Goose trail gives little instruction as to the roles and responsibilities for maintenance and repairs. The document makes no specific mention of the Selkirk Trestle, apart from its inclusion in the trail system. It requires simply that the tenant (the Capital Regional District) keep the premises safe, clean and sanitary, and that the tenant will repair “reasonable wear and tear.” The condition report also calls for increased maintenance of the trestle, such as greasing the lift’s gear and shafts. Until now, that work hasn’t been done regularly.

Some years, the influenza virus kills up to 8,000 Canadians, but it doesn’t have to. The Vancouver Island Health Authority this week began rolling out free clinics for those at greatest risk of falling victim to the flu. This year’s flu vaccine includes two new strains of the virus, as well as the infamous H1N1 strain, which has been in the vaccine since 2009. Last year 160,000 people on Vancouver Island received the vaccine at public clinics, excluding health care workers. VIHA anticipates the same amount of uptake this year, though more health-care workers are likely to get vaccinated following the province’s decision to require all such workers to either get the vaccine, or wear a face mask during flu season. VIHA medical health officer Dr. Dee Hoyano said the requirement for health-care workers hasn’t been an issue. “From early reports

Influenza is transmitted person-to-person, even before symptoms are apparent.
Regular hand-washing and staying home when ill are two other ways of helping protect yourself and others against the virus. VIHA recommends even healthy adults get immunized via family doctor, local pharmacy, walk-in clinic or travel clinic. Visit viha.ca/flu for more information and to see if you qualify for a free immunization shot. The website viha.ca/flu also has a list of upcoming flu shot clinics across the city. nnorth@saanichnews.com

Tweaked B.C. liquor policy crushes Belfry fundraiser
Former cadet instructor found guilty of sex crimes Roger Knox Black Press
Daniel Palmer News staff
Revised provincial liquor policies have forced the Belfry Theatre to cancel its annual wine auction, a move that could have devastating consequences for other charities in B.C. For the past two years, Belfry organizers have successfully applied for a special occasion licence to put on Crush, a wine auction that was expected to raise $20,000 this year for the charity arts group. Bottles of rare and hard-to-find wine are donated from private collections for the event, said general manager Ivan Habel, adding the Belfry openly solicits donations on its website. But on Oct. 19, the Belfry received a letter from the liquor control and licensing branch (LCLB) stating current regulations prohibit the auctioning of wine unless it is directly purchased through a B.C. liquor branch or donated by a liquor manufacturer. “The province says they didn’t know that’s what we were doing,� Habel said. “And it doesn’t matter that we’ve done it in the past or that literally hundreds of other charities do similar kinds of things. It’s against the regulations, period.� Mark Hicken, a lawyer who specializes in B.C. wine law, said the LCLB updated its special occasion licence policy manual in June to bring charities into line with other licence-holders, thus making charity wine auctions illegal. “There’s a difference between policy and law. A policy manual is just their interpretation of what they think the law says,� Hicken said. “I don’t agree with, first, the interpretation of the law, and second, from a policy perspective, it doesn’t make any sense to me at all.� There are hundreds of schools, hospitals, theatres and arts organizations across the province who rely on fundraising wine auctions, he added. By cutting off that revenue stream, charities will end up relying more heavily on provincial funding to make up the financial losses, Hicken said. “I’m a bit perplexed by it all,� he said. A spokesperson from the ministry responsible for liquor distribution said the restrictions will help “ensure product authenticity and quality and that the appropriate taxes have been paid,� but denied any policy changes have taken place beyond standard “housekeeping.� “This law has been in place for many years,� said the spokesperson, who asked not to be named. “Changing this rule may require a change in legislation and we’ve asked legal counsel to investigate options.� NDP culture and arts critic Spencer Chandra Herbert said the impact on charities and arts groups like the Belfry will be “massive.� “The Liberals have been saying, ‘Arts groups have to do better raising money themselves,’� Chandra Herbert said. “Well, here’s an example where they do that very successfully and the gov-

The Big Sisters of the Lower Mainland pulled in $80,000 this year through its annual Grape Juice Wine Auction, said executive director Justine Greene. “This is one way we’ve been able to initiate our own element of fundraising, and then it gets clawed back even further,â€? she said of the possibility of canceling the event. “It’s a lot of revenue at stake, I can’t even stomach the concept of (losing) it.â€?

Habel plans to lobby the provincial government to make an exception for charities and allow wine auctions to continue. He has already spoken with local MLAs and hopes to secure a meeting with ministers Rich Coleman and Bill Bennett in the coming weeks. If no solution can be found, Habel said the Belfry will be forced to cope by doing what so many other non-profits and charities have done in recent years: “Nickel and dime the expenses away.� dpalmer@vicnews.com
A military judge has found a former army cadet instructor guilty of four sex-related charges. The judge found Capt. Daniel Moriarity guilty on two counts of sexual exploitation and one count each of sexual assault and invitation to sexual touching at Moriarity’s court martial hearing in Victoria Monday. The Canadian Forces National Investigation Service (CFNIS) charged Moriarity in February after he committed crimes against two teenaged cadets at the Lt.-Gen. E.C. Ashton Armoury in Saanich and the Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre. The incidents occurred between 2008 and 2011. The case was brought forward by the chains of command for the two cadets, who contacted the military police about the allegations. When the accusations were made, Moriarity was deputy commanding officer of 3005 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps, which is based at the armoury. Moriarity is slated to be sentenced on Oct. 31. All four charges were laid pursuant to the National Defence Act and Criminal Code of Canada. The CFNIS is an independent military police unit that investigates serious and sensitive matters in relation to national defence property, DND employees and Canadian Forces personnel. editor@vicnews.com

Pipeline protest moves to MLA offices Liberals, NDP targeted as ralliers seek opposition to Enbridge, Kinder Morgan plans Daniel Palmer News staff
Daniel Palmer/News staff
About 200 protesters stood outside the office of VictoriaBeacon Hill MLA Carole James on Wednesday, voicing their opposition to the Enbridge Northern Gateway project and twinning of the Kinder Morgan pipeline.
An estimated 200 people stood arm-in-arm outside the office of Victoria-Beacon Hill MLA Carole James on Wednesday, chanting “No more oil, no more tankers.” The group was part of at least 68 other protests taking place simultaneously across the province as part of Defend Our Coast, in the wake of Monday’s 3,000-strong protest at the B.C. legislature. James came out to greet the protesters, and said she thought the turnout was “fantastic.” “This is democracy in action,” she said. “This isn’t a political issue. The public in British Columbia does not want (the proposed Enbridge pipeline) to go ahead.” Rally organizer Sara Wickham, who works with the Dogwood Initiative, said while the NDP has shown support to the opposition of the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline, they haven’t done the same for the proposed twinning of the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline, which pumps oil from Alberta to the Burrard Inlet in Burnaby. “There’s still room for them (the In the Oct. 24, 2012 edition of the News, a woman on a scooter was NDP) to come out against that,” incorrectly identified.

Chris Gilbert and his partner, an undercover officer, were jogging past the intersection of Pembroke Street and Dowler Place around 6 a.m. on Oct. 18 when they saw a man armed with a handgun and beating a woman. After the officers spoke to the man, he told them he was using a pellet gun, which prompted the officers to disarm and arrest him. The woman suffered injuries that did not require hospitalization, and she knew her attacker.

The Trans Mountain pipeline twinning would increase capacity from the current 300,000 barrels per day to 750,000 per day by 2017, and bring about 300 oil tankers a year through Burrard Inlet. Another protest was held Wednesday at Liberal MLA Ida Chong’s Oak Bay-Gordon Head constituency office. Some 130 protesters gathered outside the Shelbourne Street office. Chong didn’t attend the protest and her staff cited previous cabinet business in Vancouver as the reason for her absence. “You’d think she’d want to hear from her constituents.” said Emma Gilchrist, who was disappointed by the MLA’s absence. Andrew Weaver, Green Party candidate for Oak BayGordon Head, said Chong or a representative from her office should have come down to the protest. “An MLA’s most important role is to listen to constituents,” he said. – with files from Tim Collins

University could be $1,000 more affordable for students in Victoria next year following the province’s announcement of a plan to create open textbooks for the 40 most popular courses at B.C. post-secondary institutions. Open textbooks are available to read or download online at no cost, or to print at a fraction of the cost of a traditional textbook. BCcampus, a publicly funded organization that aims to make higher education accessible through collaborative IT services, will now work with all postsecondary institutions in B.C. to create material for the courses, which the province estimates could benefit up to 200,000 students, as early as next fall. “We now see the magic of technology already emerging in
get underway.” The announcement came during the Open Education 2012 Conference in Vancouver, a forum focused on furthering open education resources. “More and more institutions worldwide are looking at this as an approach to save students money, allow faculties to customize resources to better suite the needs of their students,” Porter said. “It becomes a very synergistic arrangement in that it’s cheaper for students and it allows faculties to customize their materials to meet the needs of their students.” The Ministry of Advanced Education, Innovation and Technology estimates students spend between $900 and $1,500 per academic year on textbooks – a cost that could drop to $0 to $300 annually, depending on whether students need to print the materials. nnorth@saanichnews.com

Three years for 2011 Rock Bay beating death Edward Hill News staff
Jason Van Winkle will spend the next three years behind bars in the wake of an unprovoked drug- and boozefuelled assault that left a man dead in a Rock Bay motel in March 2011. Van Winkle, 37, pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the death of Gilles Alain Thibodeau, 41, in July. On Tuesday in B.C. Supreme Court, Justice Laura Gerow sentenced the View Royal man to three-and-a-half years minus credit for six-and-ahalf months for time in custody. Van Winkle, who has a criminal history spanning 22 years, featuring 50 convictions for drug offences, three assaults and a robbery, apologized to the victim’s family and his family. His mother was in the courtroom. “I’ll live with this for the rest of my life. I just want to apologize and say I’m sorry,” Van Winkle told the court this morning. The victim’s elderly parents, who live in eastern Canada, did not attend court. Thibodeau’s sister sent a letter describing her brother as smart and witty, but who struggled with addictions. “He was loved by his family and it’s a loss that will be felt forever,” Gerow said, reading the letter. The sentence is in line with a joint recommendation of Crown counsel and Van Winkle’s defence lawyer Tom Morino. Gerow noted that Van Winkle has a lengthy criminal record and unprovoked, he attacked and beat a much smaller man. She also took into account that he has shown remorse and co-operated with investigators. Crown prosecutor Dale Marshall described the events
leading to Thibodeau’s death, and the pathologist’s report on the cause of death, in an agreed statement of facts. On March 15, 2011, Van Winkle hired Thibodeau and three other men for a job moving a family from Duncan to Victoria using a truck owned by Van Winkle. On the second of three trips to finish the job, Thibodeau and two of the men drove to Duncan, but en route “became sidetracked” and started drinking alcohol. They eventually ran out of gas, abandoned the truck on the side of the road and ran off. Police called Van Winkle, who was forced to drive to Duncan, fetch the truck and finish the moving job. The night of March 15, three of the men, Van Winkle and his girlfriend partied in suite 121 of the former Traveller’s Inn at 2828 Rock Bay Ave., consuming large amounts of alcohol and crack cocaine. Van Winkle consumed heroin, crack and alcohol, the court heard. In the early morning of March 16, Marshall said Van Winkle started becoming obsessed with a supposed missing key for his mother’s house, and accused Thibodeau of stealing it. Van Winkle, a large, stocky man, suddenly attacked Thibodeau, a slight, 147-pound man, easily kicking him to the floor and then kneeling on his chest. “He was on Mr. Thibodeau’s chest hitting Mr. Thibodeau in the face with a closed fist repeatedly, six or seven times ... saying ‘Where’s my key? Where’s my key?’” Marshall said. “Nobody expected it. If anything, Mr. Thibodeau was moving away from Mr. Van Winkle.”
In the moments before police arrived, Van Winkle realized Thibodeau was unresponsive and performed CPR on his victim. Victoria police officers arrived at the room around 2:50 a.m. and saw Thibodeau on the floor, eyes and mouth open, face blue and pale and not breathing. Officers began CPR, and paramedics continued compressions en route to Victoria General Hospital and managed to induce a faint pulse. Thibodeau suffered a significant brain injury from a lack of oxygen. He was taken off life support on March 22, 2011, and died soon after. At the Traveller’s Inn, police arrested Van Winkle on suspicion of manslaughter – which over the next days and months veered to aggravated assault, second degree murder and finally back to manslaughter. Marshall described the incident as a prolonged assault on a defenseless man of considerable size difference. Marshall said the pathologist report revealed Thibodeau died of a lack of oxygen to the brain due to a heart attack, which resulted from a combination of acute intoxication from crack cocaine and having Van Winkle’s full weight on his chest. He had several broken ribs. The punches to Thibodeau’s head weren’t deemed a contributing factor in his death. Morino pointed out that the pathologist’s report said it is difficult to know the degree to which the physical altercation contributed to Thibodeau’s death. “Mr. Van Winkle pleaded guilty out of a sense of remorse. This is a significant mitigating factor,” Morino told the court. editor@saanichnews.com

Room to grow Construction crews continue to work at Hillside Centre on an expansion project that will see the size of the mall increase by 5,100 square metres.
Two Greater Victoria politicians are calling for a study on the need for regional sewage treatment, a delay some fear could jeopardize government funding. Saanich councillor Vic Derman and Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen, who sit on the Capital Regional District liquid waste committee, want to halt work on the $782-million sewage project to conduct an environmental impact and cost benefit study. Derman maintains that every credible study points to minimal harm associated with the current system of piping screened sewage into the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The federal government should change its designation of that system from high to low risk, he said, a move that would delay the requirement for changing the current system by 20 years to 2040. “Every scientist, and even the CRD’s own reports show that no damage results from the current system,” Derman said. “We don’t have any emergency here. It’s a three quarter of a billion dollar solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.” Nils Jensen agrees. “What’s been missing, other than sanity and rationality, is a full environmental impact study,” he said. “Theatre and perception is triumphing over science. It’s a bad basis for public policy making. Private industry wouldn’t undertake a project of Geoff Young this kind without study.” Victoria councillor Geoff Young, the CRD board chair, disagrees. He admitted that CRD reports don’t point to an environmental emergency in the current system, but said that it’s likely that damage to the marine ecosystem isn’t fully understood. Young said that delays have risks and that federal and provincial funding could disappear. “That could leave the municipalities to pick up the entire cost of the project,” he said. Jensen has heard that argument, and said it falls flat. “It’s a heck of a lot of money,” he said. “But that’s the point. If it’s not the right thing to do, we shouldn’t go ahead. Just think of what we could do with our portion of the money. A quarter of a billion dollars? We could end homelessness, improve roads and bike trails ... the list goes on.” Jack Hull, the interim project director of the regional sewage treatment project does not agree with any delay. “These are federal and provincial regulations. They are not optional. Nothing (in the plan) can change,” he said. Derman’s motion for a study is scheduled for debate at the CRD sewage committee on Nov. 15. “This is about the most important political issue we have (in Victoria),” Jensen said. “The only way we’ll be heard is if we collaborate and work together with the seven communities who have a stake in this.” editor@vicnews.com

Teachers’ union offers anti-Enbridge lesson plans Natalie North News staff
The B.C. Teachers’ Federation earlier this month began offering resources to teachers on Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline – a move that has sparked criticism for its blatant opposition of the project. Resource posters depict a river scene of a grizzly bear eating a salmon amid orcas, seals, an otter and an eagle, while black oil drips across the lower portion of the image. The words “What we stand to lose with pipelines and supertankers” are emblazoned across the top section. Along with the poster, the teachers’ union has made available resources such as lessons on the importance of protecting ocean ecosystems, the “effects of mixing oil, water, and bird feathers” and a game similar to snakes and ladders, involving pipelines and sunbeams. While critics, such as Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver, have accused the BCTF of presenting propaganda to children, the chairperson of the Greater Victoria Board of Education doesn’t see the lessons as cause for alarm. “For years teachers have talked about topical and perhaps controversial topics in his-
tory, social studies, law, as a way of teaching critical thinking skills to our students. We believe that our teachers are responsible and facilitate these discussions in an unbiased fashion,” said Orcherton. “This isn’t new, it’s just that Enbridge is topical right now.” It remains unclear if any School District No. 61 teachers plan to use the Enbridge lesson plans. Orcherton said any complaints or concerns from parents that come out of the teaching materials will be dealt with immediately. Jason Price, an education professor in the department of curriculum and instruction at the University of Victoria, said the BCTF and Enbridge are both involved in the “indoctrination” of students regarding resources and the environment. “It seems that the BCTF is firing this as a salvo in a sense, but one that in some ways is just as balanced as that of the proponents of the pipeline,” Price said. “We’re not playing with an even playing field.” BCTF has taken strong positions on First Nations and same sex marriages issues in the past, he said, noting the presence of literature on the federation’s website on how to foster clear thinking on controversial issues. Students are already exposed
to the Enbridge issue via social media, familial influences, or civil disobedience in their communities, and should be welcomed to discuss it within the school environment, Price said. “The idea that somehow we should create schools as a bubble is responsible for the type of mediocre, non-engaged, gothrough-the-motions schooling that we’ve had for so long,” he said. “One of the frustrations that I have personally is the lack of willingness of teachers to use their academic freedom to discuss controversial issues. “While the federation might be taking a position and highlighting this lesson plan as an approach, I’d be surprised to see a radical indoctrination in our classrooms. It’s a bogeyman that Conservatives like to play, but it doesn’t really exist.” Few elements of the B.C. curriculum afford students the opportunity to think critically and teachers often take controversial positions to inspire a critical discussion around media, Price added. “If (teachers) use these as teaching moments, they have to be very, very clear that they put all of the information in and facilitate in an unbiased fashion,” Orcherton said. nnorth@saanichnews.com

OUR VIEW
Auction laws punish charities F
or non-profit groups and charities that survived grant cutbacks of recent years, the provincial government has found a new way to add insult to injury. Auctioning bottles of alcohol donated as gifts for fundraising events is a big no-no – unless the government is guaranteed to get its cut. The Belfry Theatre found this out three years after the fact, an oversight that will cost them at least $20,000 in fundraising this year. The Belfry, a registered charity, was preparing for its third Crush event for this Sunday, where it auctions off privately donated rare wines from around the world. This wasn’t a secret – the theatre company openly solicited for donations of fine wines and listed wines up for auction on its Crush website from 2010, including the names of donors. For some reason, this year things were different. The Liquor Control and Licensing Branch denied the Belfry a special occasion licence to serve alcohol when it found out the theatre company planned, once again, to auction privately donated wines. The Ministry of Energy and Mines, which oversees the LCBC, said it had been unaware until now that the Belfry auctioned privately donated wine. Apparently it was also unaware of the dozens of other B.C. charities that do the same thing year after year. “This law has been in place for many years,” the Ministry of Energy and Mines told the News in an email. It is odd the LCLB Special Occasion Licencing manual highlights those specific sections regarding charity wine auctions, indicating they were revised in June 2012. The province dismisses this as “housekeeping” – it insists the rules haven’t changed. Either the rules haven’t changed and they weren’t being enforced until now, or the rules have changed without warning and the province won’t admit it. Either way, the regulations are mean spirited and self-serving. Under the rules, the booze needs to be purchased directly from a government liquor store or donated from a liquor manufacturer. B.C. is known for its antiquated and arbitrary liquor laws. The B.C. Liberals have brought some of B.C.’ liquor laws into the modern day. People can now bring their own wine to restaurants. Movie theatres can apply for liquor licences for adult-only screenings. But these auction regulations are a step backwards and only serve to punish legitimate charities.

High Tension (2003) is an intense French slasher film with some truly gnarly kills and an impressive devotion to quality filmmaking and atmosphere, even if the ending makes no sense. Day of the Dead (1985) is an obvious influence of The Walking Dead and, as the third film in George A. Romero’s original Dead trilogy, is a smart, but still fun zombie flick. Hell-bent for leather is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986), one of the most off-the-wall crazy, totally disturbing and discomforting horror films I’ve ever seen.

The Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement would allow China to sue Canada, outside of our borders and behind closed doors, if the pipeline deal were blocked or China’s interests in our resource industry hindered – for example, if the B.C. government were to stop Northern Gateway. It also gives the Chinese state-owned companies “the right to full protection and security from public opposition,” as well as the right to use Chinese labour and materials on projects in which it has invested. According to author and investigative journalist Andrew Nikiforuk, writing for The Tyee, “The deal does not require provincial consent. It comes without any risk-benefit analysis. And it can be ratified into law without parliamentary debate.” Why would anyone want to sell out our interests, democratic processes and future like this? And why would we put up with it? On the first question, Gus Van Harten, an international investment law professor at Osgoode Hall Law School, told Desmog Blog we must consider the possibil-
ity that government and industry know that changes in attitudes about fossil fuel extraction “may lead to new regulations on the oil patch, in that, climate can’t just be wished away forever, and that governments might take steps to regulate the oil patch in ways that investors wouldn’t like.” He continues, “If you bring in a lot of Chinese investments, and you sign the Canada investment deal, you kind of get the Chinese investors to do your dirty work for you.” In other words, as the world recognizes the already extreme and increasing consequences of global warming and shifts from wastefully burning fossil fuels to conservation and renewable energy, tar sands bitumen may soon become uneconomical. The goal is to dig it up, sell it and burn it as quickly as possible while there’s still money to be made. It’s cynical and suicidal, but it’s the kind of thinking that is increasingly common among those who see the economy as the highest priority – over human health and the air, water, soil and biodiverse ecosystems that keep us alive.
LETTERS Responsibility for bullying falls on all of us Re: Social media to blame for teen’s death (Letters, Oct. 19) It is a terrible shame a young girl ended her life because of bullies. I agree with the saying “If people try to bring you down, it only means you are above them” also brings another really good saying to mind “To belittle is to be little.” However, I would not go as far as to say social media is as addictive as marijuana nor would I say it leads to depression or loss of life. I would not give social media that kind of power. One can shut off their computer or shut down their social media profiles if they are being bullied on the social media sites. Censoring and or shutting down sites do not solve or resolve the problem of bullies. It is a bit more difficult to walk away from these bullies at school or when physically socializing. The problem is plain and simple. People who are very insecure and have such low self-esteem feel the need to bully to make it appear like they are tough and to get attention from their peers. Unless we as parents raise our children to have good self-esteem and understand what is right and wrong, we as a society will continue to have these issues. It all starts at home with the parents who raise these bullies. Teach your children well and take responsibility for what your children do. Tamara Shiels Victoria
Targeting social media shifts blame Re: Social media to blame for teen’s death (Letters, Oct. 19) Letter writer Eileen Nattrass would have us believe that Amanda Todd would not have committed suicide were it not for “these immoral websites” that “need to be shut down immediately.”
This line of thinking is insulting to most people’s intelligence because it excuses the behaviour of the people involved, and attempts to transfer the blame to social media websites and their shareholders. Perhaps “the powers that be” should also blame auto makers, and ban these immoral motor vehicles immediately, because sometimes teenagers drink alcohol, drive, have car accidents and die. What exactly would Ms. Nattrass suggest the shareholders at General Motors do about the consequences that drivers experience after making poor choices while using their products, the same products that most people use on a daily basis without incident. There are laws in place to deal with people who cause harm to others, and I am confident that the bullies who tormented Amanda Todd will ultimately be brought to justice for any unlawful behaviours. However, knee-jerk reactions that attempt to shift the blame to innocent parties are neither useful nor helpful. Robert Waters Saanich
Bad, dangerous drivers are everywhere Re: Dedicate police patrol to Malahat, (Our View, Oct. 17) Before setting up a highway police unit on the Malahat mountain highway, we should ask how the dangerous drivers behave where they live – in fiefdoms like Saanich, Nanaimo, and on the mainland, most refusing to police properly. Watch the streets anywhere and you’ll see most drivers don’t slow down in the rain. Many deliberately drive dangerously, at 80 km/h through playground zones and around blind curves on residential streets, not stopping when turning right at a red light nor at stop signs. Others are merely inattentive or sloppy. Much re-education is needed. The Malahat is much less forgiving of error, but driver mentality is the same, general ignorance about driving physics is the same. B.C.’s Ministry of Transportation has not
done much to educate drivers that it is a mountain highway, claiming the expensive vague sign in View Royal does that – despite using clear bright signs elsewhere in the province. Driver licensing isn’t working. The many drivers whose N placard indicates they recently passed a knowledge exam, but don’t want to benefit from using what they were taught. The effective approach is police feet on the street, identifying and directly reeducating drivers. Didn’t the continuous campaign of increased enforcement on the Malahat show that last year? I expect it will take a year of increased police presence everywhere before most drivers get the message about proper behaviour on roads. Keith Sketchley Saanich
Marching to abyss of sewage treatment Re: Tax increase poor treatment. (Writer’s Block, Oct. 19); “Political will on sewage treatment emerging in CRD” and “Scientists, former MP likely have facts straight” (Letters, Oct. 19) It is both a revealing and a welcome day when a long-established, non-partisan, widely read and respected community newspaper deems it acceptable to publish three items concerning the CRD’s secondary sewage treatment plans, all of which are against it. It is not difficult to see this event as yet another station of a newly burgeoning popular movement that seeks a way to halt (or at least delay) that destructive juggernaut that threatens the environmental and fiscal well being of the entire region. All this renewed activity is directly attributable to the release of the long-awaited detailed wastewater engineering plan at the end of September. The technical one is nothing short of frightening in its implications. Potential environmental dangers accompany every step of the planned construction. The other part, concerning the financing of the project, cannot be called anything other than pie-in-the-sky.
Current estimates of construction costs ($783 million), provincial and federal contributions ($501 million), and property tax increases of between $232 and $391 per year are actually worse than that. The contribution of at least the federal government’s share is not even close to being guaranteed, while any and all overruns will be the sole responsibility of local taxpayers. Can anyone doubt, then, that potential property tax increases will be in the neighbourhood of $500 to $700 per year – if we are lucky. In the meantime, the powers-that-be at the CRD continue to march us lemmings toward the abyss, heedless of science and overwhelming popular opposition, and bereft even of common sense. Each and every tax payer-elector opposed to the travesty of the current secondary sewage treatment plan must make it her or his business to apprise local, provincial, and federal politicians that their election or re-election will depend, to a large extent, on the position they take in this matter.

Tourism sector to be a leader in provincial job growth For some, a dream job would be a vacation planner – for themselves! Vacationing in B.C. can take so many forms that it would indeed be a full-time job. B.C.’s tourism industry will be a leader in provincial job growth as businesses look to fill Lana Denoni, 101,000 new job open- Chair, TIABC ings by 2020, according to a study of labour demand and supply by go2, the B.C. tourism industry’s human resource association. The Tourism Labour Market Strategy, released in the spring of 2012 by go2, sets out the plan to recruit, retain and train the workers needed to keep pace with the growth projected for the industry. Nearly half of the 101,000 openings will be new jobs created by the tourism industry across the province, adding 44,220 more jobs to the provincial workforce by 2020. The other approximately 57,000 openings are due to replacements (i.e. retirements). “The labour strategy co-ordinated by go2 is a key pillar of industry growth in the province. Without it, we simply wouldn’t have the skilled workers in place to deliver the visitor experience throughout B.C.,” says Lana Denoni, Chair of TIABC, the Tourism Industry Association of British Columbia. The tourism and hospitality industry is extremely diverse with more than 400 different occupations – from those leading to longterm careers to those suiting people seeking part-time work, like students or older workers who are not yet ready to retire.

Changes aimed at unclogging courts Tom Fletcher Black Press
Attorney General Shirley Bond has launched a new court management system designed to improve efficiency and cut down the backlog of criminal cases. The changes are based on a review of the system conducted by lawyer Geoffrey Cowper, which analyzed a “culture of delay” that resists change. Cowper concluded the problem is partly because there is an incentive, particularly for defence lawyers, to delay cases, and no system for enforcing timely hearings of evidence. “During the review there was a general sense that judges and lawyers have their own, insulated sense of what constitutes timeliness and responsiveness,” Cowper wrote in his report, released in September. Bond announced the first phase of changes, including the establishment of a new oversight organization. “The Justice and Public Safety Council will be asked to publish performance measures, and we’re going to look at designing and determining what those measures are, and there will be targets attached to them,” Bond said at a news conference in Kamloops Monday. Samiran Lakshman, president of the B.C. Crown Counsel Association, said he welcomes the changes to a system that has prosecutors in some communities overwhelmed. “Not every courthouse has a delay problem,” Lakshman said. “We have acute delay issues in the busiest courthouse in the province, which is Surrey, as well as places like Fort St. John, Nanaimo and Richmond.”
In Surrey, he said it currently takes 14 months or more to schedule a half a day for a brief trial. Defendants who have waited 18 months or more can apply for and often receive a stay of proceedings because their case has taken too long. Both Lakshman and NDP justice critic Leonard Krog have repeatedly pointed to a reduction of 16 provincial court judges since 2005. Lakshman said the recent imposition of a government-wide hiring freeze has slowed the replacement of prosecutors, sheriffs and court clerks, because each new hire requires approval from the head of the public service. Bond has questioned why waiting time in courts goes up even when the crime rate and the number of new cases declines. She says it should not take an average of seven appearances in court before a criminal case goes to trial. In his report, Cowper noted that 98 per cent of criminal cases end with a guilty plea or a stay of proceedings, but the system treats all cases as if they are going to trial. He said the number of new cases dropped sharply last year as most impaired driving charges were replaced with roadside suspensions, and now is at the same level as the early 1990s. “The current rules were the result of a wholesale change made over a decade ago to involve judges more actively in the pre-trial phase of proceedings to encourage early resolution and reduce the high proportion of cases that collapse on the first day of trial,” Cowper wrote. “Neither prosecutors nor defence counsel changed their practices in order to realize the potential of the new rules.”

Iconoclastic Cline takes the stage On Oct. 30, the Blue Bridge Repertory Theatre launches its production of A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline. The musical cabaret has received rave reviews since 1991, and it features some of the singer’s classics, including I Fall to Pieces. Victoria News reporter Roszan Holmen caught up with director Brian Richmond in the middle of a rehearsal this week. •••• • News: Tell me about Patsy Cline and what about her life has drawn audiences for the past 20 years. • Brian Richmond: She’s generally considered the greatest country vocalist of all time. What’s great about Patsy is that she, like Hank Williams before her, took country music and she raised it to a new level. She moved from just a pure country sound into a pop sound. She just had that quality that made her stand out from the rest. • N: That must have made it hard to cast her role.
• BR: In my case it was easy because Sara-Jeanne Hosie has been playing Patsy Cline in a number of productions and is magnificent in the role. • N: For people not familiar with her music, what is it like? • BR: My own opinion is that any great singer is a great storyteller. When singers often start out they think about the technique of their voice, but as you hear them moving through their careers – the great ones – you’ll hear they focus more and more and more on the story. Even though Patsy did not live to be very old, I think that happened with her. • N: Why did you choose this piece? • BR: We had a lot of success with Hank Williams, The Show He Never Gave which we put on a couple of years ago. It really drew in a new type of audience to the theatre for us. They’re not necessarily traditional theatre audiences. They’re country music fans. So I wanted to give a follow-up and
Patsy Cline seemed to be the strongest choice. • N: What about Patsy’s life makes an appealing drama, other than her untimely death? • BR: It’s really more about the fan that follows her and plays homage to her. It’s the character of little big man (played by Victoria actor Wes Borg) and his absolute adulation of her. • N: You describe the role of women and Patsy Cline walking a cheeky line. What did you mean by that? • BR: I think that Patsy was an iconoclast, particularly in the way women were viewed in the 1950s. Women were seen as the little wife who stayed at home and cleaned and made dinner for the husband, and I think Patsy showed women that there were other role models. That there were strong, forceful women who knew their own heart. It was a transition time. rholmen@vicnews.com

Victoria celebrates composer, artist Cage
The founder and inspirational force behind one of the best known dance schools in Victoria is commemorating her silver anniversary and, naturally enough, the event will be celebrated in dance. Asmira’s Silver Anniversary Dinner Show will be held on Saturday, Oct. 27, at Dance Victoria’s Performance Lab, 2750 Quadra St. and it will feature dance by Asmira McConnell as well as a group of her past and present students. Other dancers will be remembered through a series of videos and slides. There will be a lot of reminiscing, said the dancer. She added that, for her, this is a once-in-a-lifetime celebration. Asmira’s school of dance first came to Victoria in 1987 and her instructional classes quickly gained in popularity, due in large part to her love of dance. She has received numerous awards over the years and was named Victoria’s Favourite Dancer/Choreographer and Victoria’s Favourite Dance Group by readers of Monday Magazine. She has also received numerous awards for both dance and

Cage lived from 1912 to 1992. The Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, the Victoria Symphony, Open Space Gallery and the University of Victoria are all participating in the celebrations. On Nov. 8, an opening reception will be held at the AGGV (1040 Moss St., 7 p.m.), and will feature a performance by the symphony of some of Cage's musical compositions. The gallery’s exhibit dedicated to his work, called Devoted Play, runs Nov. 9 to Jan. 6. For info on all Cage-related events, visit johncage.org.

t took 40 years to lose the “itch,” but Roy Haslam created a life away from the race track. It wasn’t long into his “second life,” when one of Haslam’s sons, who also races, offered up his race car to dad, who was there to watch. “It was all prepped and ready for me to take one more spin around Western Speedway,” said the former racing great. “I said ‘no way.’ It was only a few years ago and I told him, ‘if I get into that car, the itch will start all over again.’” The 66-year-old hasn’t raced competitively since the 1990s. His accomplishments as a super stock driver, open wheel and off-road made him an automatic for the Victoria Auto Racing Hall of Fame, which inducted him in 1999. This weekend Haslam’s success transcends auto racing, as he joins the 2012 class of Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame inductees. He’s one of the few motorsports men to do so, as he enters with a list of national-level athletes and legendary builders. All will be celebrated at the annual banquet, Saturday night in the Pacific Institute of Sports Excellence. It’s a return to the glory years of racing for Haslam, though he isn’t a stranger to the race track these days either. His sons Mike, 41, and Robbie, 42, continue racing. Mike in the K & N series and

The Vikes need two wins to lock up a playoff spot. It’s been a tumultuous season for the Vikes. The men have

He still uses some of the skills he honed at the speedway in 1961, when Roy joined the crew on a car owned by his dad Jim. “I think they let me hold a rag, wipe the wheels,” Roy chuckles. More and more often though, Roy held a wrench, and it didn’t take long to learn his way around. By 1965, at 19-years-old, he got his own jalopy (stock’s predecessor), a ’49 Ford. In 1967, he was approached to drive a car owned

Fraser Valley visit Vikes, playoffs With a second place finish in the Canada West standings the UVic Vikes women’s soccer team (9-2-1) host the Fraser Valley Cascades (6-5-1) in a one game playoff Saturday night. Kick off is 5 p.m. at Centennial Stadium. The Vikes are looking to earn their way into the 2012 CIS national championships, though a guaranteed spot awaits them as hosts of the November tournament.
by Harvey Chipper, and became that year’s points champion. “It was different then. You made your own parts. You could buy some stuff, but now it’s all bought,” he recalled. By the 1970s, he and his crew were traveling to one race after another in Washington, Oregon and California, and working on the car when they got there. “We were weekend racers, back by Monday morning. We all had jobs to be at. We slept in the truck at the ferry terminal, or sometimes threw our sleeping bag down in the bushes.” There were long hauls, too, regular jaunts out to Illinois and Minnesota. “Now in life, I’ve been going back and looking at places I raced. I’m smelling the roses, so to speak,” he said. “I can tell you what the local restaurants looked like, but we’d be at the race track all day and leave at midnight without really knowing what the place was like.” The mobile crew continued their travels into the 1980s until Haslam finally quit in the 1990s. “I’ve been married 16 years (to my wife), kind of my second life, and the race track isn’t running my life anymore,” Roy said. “Not that I would change anything. The camaraderie with all the drivers, you can’t beat it. Getting in and driving something you and your crew worked so hard on, you have a smile on your face, even on the bad days.” Roy’s parents Jim and Lorraine entered the Victoria Auto Racing Hall of Fame in 1985 and 1996, respectively, and his ex-wife, Angie, was also inducted in 2000. Jim was part of Langford Speedway in the 1940s and helped
Vikes golf season ends with win Home course advantage served the UVic Vikes men’s and women’s golf teams well as they won their respective team titles as hosts of the Vikes Shootout at Cordova Bay Golf Course earlier this week. Defending champ Megan Woodland, who hails from the Saanich area, led the Vikes. Woodland tied for first in the women’s individual standings but lost in a one-hole, tie-breaker to Concordia’s Sunny Powers. Matthew Broughton was the top Vike in the men’s, fourth overall, with Sam Holland coming in sixth.

Vikes rep Canada at ITU triathlon in New Zealand A pair of UVic Vikes cross-country athletes went across the world last week to compete at the World Triathlon Championships in Auckland, New Zealand on Sunday. Racing for Canada, former Vikes crosscountry star Ellen Pennock (from Calgary) finished 13th in the under-23 category, ahead of 2012 Vikes rookie Alison Hooper (Claremont secondary) at 27th. Locally based Alex Coates finished 25th, while Canada’s top under-23 woman was Joanna Brown of Ontario in third. Kyle Jones, a longtime training partner of Simon Whitfield, was Canada’s top man in the elite category, finishing sixth overall, his best ever. Victoria-based Lauren Campbell was Canada’s top elite woman, 21st overall. Victoria’s Matt Sharpe led Canada’s under-23 men’s team, 29th overall, followed by Matt Vierula (Ottawa) in 38th and Victoria’s Aaron Thomas 42nd. sports@vicnews.com

Mark deFrias will fill the previously void role of general manager for the Victoria Highlanders soccer club. DeFrias will oversee the club’s operations, a position last held by Drew Finerty. DeFrias is also the former sales and marketing manager of the Highlanders and returns after three years in the marketing and sponsorship office of the UVic Vikes athletic program. “I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t think the Highlanders organization could be a winner both on and off the field. I know I’m up for the challenge,” deFrias
All three Canadian Direct Insurance Premier League rugby teams from Greater Victoria are hosting matches on Saturday. Burnaby Lake visits James Bay at MacDonald Park, Capilano is at the Castaway Wanderers of Windsor Park in Oak Bay, and the UBC Old Boy Ravens will take on the UVic Vikes at Wallace Field. It’s an unusually down season for powerhouse clubs CW and James Bay. All three have suffered upset defeats early in the B.C. Rugby Union season. The Castaway Wanderers have one win in four matches, while James Bay suffererd a surprising loss to the Old Boy Ravens on Oct. 13.

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.

Premier proposes 10-year agreement with teachers Tom Fletcher Black Press
Premier Christy Clark announced a review of teacher bargaining last Wednesday, with a goal of reaching a 10-year agreement that would put an end to decades of battles with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. Clark and Education Minister Don McRae acknowledged at a Vancouver news conference that changing the culture of confrontation between the B.C. government and teachers won’t be easy, and vowed to put even the most contentious issues on the table for discussion. That includes class size and special needs support, key issues in contract disputes and court actions in recent years. “Our first goal is longterm labour stability with teachers in British Columbia,” Clark said. “Our second goal is to improve how government interacts and works with the BCTF.” BCTF president Susan Lambert said she welcomes the review of the bargaining structure, but is skeptical about the latest promise of meaningful consultation. “It seems to me that talk of a 10-year contract is putting the cart before the horse,” Lambert said. “There seem to be conclusions drawn that would be properly a product of the bargaining table and not a product of a
discussion on the bargaining structure.” The offer comes as the BCTF continued a court challenge to a two-year wage freeze that extends until June 2013. After a year of fruitless negotiations and work-to-rule by teachers, the union membership endorsed the two-year contract extension reached in June with governmentimposed mediator Charles Jago. McRae said the review will take advantage of work currently being done by a task force of school trustees, and two previous reviews completed by independent mediators. In his 2007 report, mediator Vince Ready said the union and the province’s bargaining agent, the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, need a system for agreeing on the financial costs of various proposals before they can hope to settle contracts. McRae said he has talked with Lambert about the proposal, and he wants to have consultations with teachers, trustees, parent advisory councils and administrators complete by the end of November. “If there are policy changes or legislative amendments that we need to make, we want to get this work done before bargaining resumes next spring,” McRae said.

In the early part of the last century, William Silver was an alderman in the Vancouver suburban community of Burnaby and one of the municipality’s first ALYN EDWARDS property developers. CLASSIC He and his wife, Belle, RIDES along with their four sons, occupied a large house on sprawling property at the corner of Kingsway and McKay streets. Much of that property is now occupied by Burnaby’s giant Metrotown Shopping Centre. Mr. Silver became wealthy selling property fronting Kingsway that had increased in value with the opening of the interurban rail line that passed his property alongside the road linking Vancouver to New Westminster. Mr. Silver never drove. But he loved the beauty and style of the best automobiles of the time. He purchased new luxury Winton automobiles in both 1911 and 1912 to be followed by a magnificent 1913 Peerless touring car and a 1917 Pierce Arrow. These were luxury automobiles costing between $5,000 and $6,500 at a time when a Model T Ford cost $500. He relied on his oldest son to drive the family cars. Two of his sons, Will and Hugh, operated Silver’s Garage on Kingsway near the family home selling gasoline and doing automotive repairs. Although he never drove, Hugh claimed he had

Silver brothers Continued from Pg. B1
Early photographs show the car on property at Vancouver’s Granville Street and 57th Avenue while construction of Rogers’ new home was under way. B.T. Rogers had named his new estate Shannon. Sadly, he died before the house was completed. The original home still exists in what is now the Shannon Mews townhouse development. By 1936, bachelor brothers Will and Hugh Silver had lost their parents and lived alone in the family home. Inexplicably, they left all the cars in long-term storage on the property, never to drive them again. The 1915 and 1917 Pierce Arrow cars along with a 1924 Stutz Speedway Six automobile they had acquired were stored in a wood frame garage at the rear of their property. The 1913 Peerless and a 1930 Stutz Blackhawk were left in the basement of the house. In January 1965, a heavy snowfall caused the roof of the garage to collapse leaving the ancient cars exposed to the elements. Members of the Vancouver Chapter of the Vintage Car Club of Canada were quick to come to the rescue led by George Wood, owner of Carson Truck Lines. Paul Bolam was president of the car club at that time. He recalls Hugh Silver as a quiet man who had polio when he was young. His older brother Will was very deaf. Hugh Silver was very protective of the cars and wouldn’t let anyone see them until the time of the garage

collapse. But he loved to talk about the cars. “The furniture in the house was covered by sheets with dust on everything,� Bolam recalls. “I asked Hugh why there was still a calendar from 1936 on the wall and he said that was the year their mother died. Nothing got done after that.� The two Pierce Arrow cars along with the Stutz were still in original condition when removed from the garage to temporary storage in two highway trailers parked at the Carson Truck Lines Burnaby yard on Myrtle Street. A nine-minute film of the cars being rescued was taken at the time and tells the story. The garage was eventually rebuilt and, in 1970, the cars were returned to the Silver’s property. But by that time, Will Silver had passed away. Hugh Silver died in early 1971. He had left each of the five cars to separate people. The City of Burnaby got the property for unpaid taxes. The Stutz Blackhawk was bequeathed to the lady who lived next door to the Silver brothers and the 1924 Stutz Speedway Six was given to a man who had painted their house in the 1930s. George Wood got the 1915 Pierce Arrow roadster and fellow Vintage Car Club member Alex Thompson received the 1917 Pierce Arrow touring. Both Pierce Arrows and the 1924 Stutz Speedway Six are now in a private collection in B.C.’s Cariboo Region. The 1930 Stutz Blackhawk sedan is owned by a family in Powell River. The 1913 Peerless six-passenger torpedo went to Wilf Sheetz, a mechanic who had impressed the Silver brothers with his talents. He also got the
residue of Hugh Silver’s estate. When Wilf passed away, Nigel Leedham of Coquitlam purchased the car. The 5,000-pound touring car is all original except for new paint applied by the previous owner. It has been driven on several vintage car tours by Nigel Leedham and his son Michael. All five cars that had been stored out of sight for decades by the eccentric brothers who operated Silver’s Garage on Kingsway remain in British Columbia as a lasting legacy. A bigger part of what they left behind is the property occupied by much of Burnaby’s Metrotown Shopping Centre. The only physical reminder of the pioneer family that once owned the property along Kingsway is Silver Avenue, named in their honour. Alyn Edwards is a classic car enthusiast and partner in Peak Communicators, a Vancouver-based public relations company. aedwards@peakco.com
The restored 1913 Peerless six-passenger torpedo is owned by Coquitlam’s Nigel Leedham.
This 1915 Pierce Arrow was restored by antique car enthusiast Peter Trant in the 1970s.

Beep! Beep! Survey uncovers top cities around the world to hail a taxi METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
London reigns as the best city to hail a taxi, according to the annual global taxi survey. Survey participants from 29 countries critiqued taxis on seven categories – cleanliness, value, quality of driving, knowledge of the area, friendliness, safety and availability with New York City, Tokyo, Shanghai and Bangkok rounding out the top five. Winning five of the seven categories, London nabbed top honours for Cleanliness, Knowledge of the Area, Quality of Driving, Friendliness and Safety. Bangkok taxis were voted
first for Best Value while New York taxis were noted for having the Best Availability. Globally, approximately 46 per cent of people surveyed are willing to tip a taxi driver; 63 per cent will pay an additional 10 per cent tip on top of their fare. Thirty-nine per cent of people will tip by rounding-up to the next whole dollar. Only 15 per cent of those surveyed revealed they never tip taxi drivers. Most people rated safety as their number one concern while taking a taxi ride; followed by knowledge of the area and value. Amazingly, respondents ranked
cleanliness and friendliness as the least of their concerns when grabbing a taxi ride. When questioned about what equipment or services riders wish came in a taxi, 46 per cent of those surveyed wish taxis came outfitted with a tour guide service; while 37 per cent wanted a GPS feature and 31 per cent want smart card payment system for credit, debit and ATM cards equipped with “chip” technology. Other items riders would like to accompany them in taxis include televisions on the back of seats, music, newspapers or magazines, refreshments and beverages, radio and reclining seats.

Talladega 18-inch alloy wheels, high performance brakes and a lowered sport suspension ensures a ride that is well-sorted. An aggressive front fascia provides the necessary intake for cooling and combustion, while side skirts and a rear diffuser create a smooth wake. Inside, sport seats, a race-style steering wheel and colour-keyed interior trim items promise a stimulating and comfortable driving environment. All cars feature a sliding glass sunroof, leather trimmed seats and the RNS 510 touchscreen navigation system.

Heartburn Reflux By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD. The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkaline food. Unfortunately, North American people eat 90% acidic food (meat, pasta, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannot change your diet to USDA’s 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food, consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps to increase your pH alkaline level close to a healthy #7. Ask for Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive, has no side effects and may eliminate the need for anti-acid pills many people take. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses. See guarantee printed on box. Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore. After taking Bell #39 I have no more reflux and rejoice in singing again. Helene Giroux, 65, Quebec, QC Have family history of heartburn. For last 10 years I suffered a lot with acid reflux. I told all family members about #39 being all natural, giving quick relief and having no side effects. Michael Fasheh, #39 49, Port Ranch, CA Very happy with acid reflux relief. Last 4 years had increasing reflux despite taking anti-acid products. I am also trying to eat more alkaline food. Grzegorz Smirnow, 43, Mt. Prospect, IL

The new 2013 Lexus ES 350 and all-new Lexus 300h Hybrid have earned a 2012 “Top Safety Pick” Award from the U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The “Top Safety Pick” is the highest safety designation awarded by the IIHS. To qualify for the award, a vehicle must earn the highest rating of “good” in the IIHS’ front, side, rollover and rear impact evaluations and be equipped with electronic stability control. All Lexus models meet or exceed the requirements of all U.S. and Canadian safety standards. The ES 350 and 300h feature a segment-leading 10 airbags as standard equipment, including driver and front passenger knee
and front air bags, as well as front and rear seat-mounted side and curtain airbags. Whiplash Injury Lessening front seats are designed to limit excessive head movement in certain rear-end collisions helping to decrease the severity of whiplash-type injuries. The vehicles also offer drivers an array of other valuable safety features, including available Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert to help detect vehicles in side blind spots. The RCTA alerts the driver to rear cross traffic when backing out of a parking spot. In addition, available Lane Departure Alert is integrated with automatic high beam dimming technology, while available Pre-Collision System uses sub-millimetre wave radar to detect obstructions and prepare the vehicle for a potential collision.

All mileage numbers are in U.S. gallons. EPA ratings put MKZ Hybrid ahead
of its key competitors in the luxury midsize sedan market – 5 mpg city and 6 mpg highway ahead of Lexus ES 300h; 18 mpg city and 13 mpg highway ahead of Infiniti M35h and 20 mpg city and 16 mpg highway ahead of BMW ActiveHybrid 3. Additionally, the new MKZ Hybrid
is 2 mpg city and 5 mpg better highway than the smaller Lexus CT 200h. The 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid also is more fuel efficient than Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz diesel vehicles. Lincoln is offering the new MKZ Hybrid at the same price as the equivalent non-hybrid model, giving

Mitsubishi RVR sports new look for 2013 Sleeker looks, more refined driving experience METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
The Mitsubishi RVR compact crossover is revised inside and out and receives updated driving characteristics for the 2013 model year. A redesigned grille opening, new front fascia and bumper contribute to a sleeker, more integrated up-front appearance, particularly around the fog lamps and lower cowl. At the rear, the new bumper design with re-designed marker lamps offers smoother lines and balanced design. A revision to the multi-link rear suspension improves handling and ride comfort. As well, RVR’s INVECS III Sportronic Continuously Variable Transmission has been recalibrated for better acceleration performance. Rounding out the 2013 changes are new interior accents and
fabrics (for GT), a new push-type selector switch for 4WD (on SE and GT models) as well as new exterior colours White Pearl and Quick Silver. The Mitsubishi RVR features a standard 2.0-litre, 148 hp inline four-cylinder engine and is one of the most fuel-efficient crossovers in Canada with a highway rating of 6.1 L/100 km. In front-wheel-drive ES and SE models, the engine is mated to a standard five-speed manual transmission, with optional CVT available for the SE. All-wheel-drive SE and GT models receive the CVT and allwheel control featuring 2WD/4WD Auto/4WD Lock drive-mode selector. The starting price on the 2013 Mitsubishi RVR ES model is $19,998, and $22,298 on the SE model. All-wheel-drive SE and GT models have starting prices of $25,698 and $28,998, respectively.

Lincoln Design Centre opening marks a new milestone in brand’s reinvention METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
Lincoln has marked the formal opening of the new Lincoln Design Studio in Dearborn, Mich., the brand’s first new fully dedicated design centre in four decades. This major facility, located on the campus of Ford Motor Company’s Product Development Center, is home to a skilled, colocated global team of designers, sculptors, math sculptors and modelers representing a dozen nationalities – and with experience in just as many design centres around the world.
This team is part of a dedicated Lincoln Product Development organization, creating four allnew Lincoln vehicles by 2015 to ensure the reinvented brand has a presence in the highest growth segments of the premium market. The new design studio is located in the nerve centre of Lincoln vehicle development, allowing engineers and designers to be colocated. Approximately 150 design team members who work exclusively for Lincoln are also in the centre. The first vehicle to emerge from the new studio, the 2013 MKZ, goes on sale late this year.
Lincoln has opened its first design centre with the 2013 MKZ – shown here in development – the first product to come from it.
Volvo celebrates International Vehicle Security Award win METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
Volvo has won the coveted International Vehicle Security Award at the 2012 Thatcham Security Awards in the UK. Beating off intense competition from rival manufacturers, this is the second straight year that Volvo has been honoured with the award.
Thatcham completes a 1,000-point New Vehicle Security Assessment on all new vehicles coming into the UK and Sweden for each country’s respective insurance association. Volvo’s success came from excelling in the areas of mechanical security, electronic security and how identifiable a vehicle is when broken into its component parts. On this basis, the Thatcham
International Vehicle Security Award goes to the most secure manufacturer in more than one country that Thatcham supports. All of Volvo’s models are equipped with a number of standard security features, such as remote central locking with deadlocks, an anti-theft alarm including immobilizer, a level sensor and the option of fitting laminated side windows for extra security.
