Sewage decisions delayed Mass public turnout; most opposed to plan Daniel Palmer News staff

Capital Regional District directors delayed a critical vote on the secondary sewage treatment project Wednesday, after nearly 30 public speakers caused the item to run longer than allocated. Directors were meant to vote on the creation of an oversight commission for the $783-million project, while Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins and Saanich Coun. Vic Derman put forward motions to pursue a low-risk designation under federal regulations. The designation would extend the deadline for compliance from 2018 to 2040. While most of the 28 public speakers were opposed to the project, some argued the current system of pumping screened raw sewage into the Strait of Juan de Fuca is nothing more than pollution. “We now have the money in place to build the plant and laws to mandate it,” said Christianne Wilhelmson, executive director of the Georgia Strait Alliance. Public anxiety remains over the roughly $250 to $400 in taxes expected to be levied on Greater Victoria households to fund the project. The B.C. and federal governments are funding two-thirds of the project, but any cost overruns will fall on CRD taxpayers. The vote will likely be delayed to Nov. 28, said Denise Blackwell, committee chair. dpalmer@vicnews.com

The emergency supplies container in James Bay’s Irving Park was one of the city’s first. While it is painted with a delightful mural, it is in need of a new roof to stop rain from seeping in. Victoria emergency co-ordinator Rob Johns is looking for emergency volunteers – some of whom will hold the keys to these containers, located around the city.

Murder suspect known for assaults

Mo’ pink Victoria firefighters Cory Meeres, left, and Mark Rawlins crouch in front of a temporarily pink fire truck at the Yates Street hall with Movember T-shirts they are selling this month. Meeres covered the truck with pink vinyl in October to show firefighters’ support for breast cancer awareness month, then added the mustache for Movember. A limited number of ‘mo’ and Think Pink T-shirts are available for $25 at the station, 1234 Yates St. All proceeds from sales of each go to their respective causes.

Volunteers key to evacuee assistance Emergency containers hold short-term supplies to keep people safe and warm

K

ids sometimes climb on them. Other people admire the murals painted on their sides. Most walk by without a second thought as to their contents. Victoria’s emergency supply containers keep a low profile, stationed primarily in parking lots throughout the municipality. But in the case of a catastrophe – such as a major earthquake Roszan Holmen that forces Reporting people from their homes – these containers will play a vital role in keeping evacuees safe and warm. “Once an earthquake occurs, the city would assess areas of need and likelihood of displaced people,� said Rob Johns, Victoria’s emergency co-ordinator. “The challenge is that we can’t predict what buildings will be useful to us.� That means it could take a whole day after disaster strikes before potential facilities can be assessed for damage,

he said. Once Johns’ team can identify safe facilities, it will publicize the addresses through media and posters. Emergency workers will set up reception centres and lodging centres for evacuees. That’s where the containers come in. Appointed volunteers will fan out as needed to open the various containers and bring supplies to the evacuation centres. In total, 10 containers hold 11,000 cots, 2,000 blankets and other supplies, such as small hand tools and the paperwork needed to register evacuees. There are no food or water supplies inside. The city’s annual budget for emergency supplies is $25,000. Every two years the city adds more containers or equipment to its evacuee assistance program, with Oaklands next on the list. The neighbourhood already has a container, but no contents as of yet. Johns calls them starter supplies, to tide relief efforts over until further assistance arrives from the federal or provincial government. It’s a system that gets tested on a small scale regularly. Ten to 20 times per year,

apartment fires cause evacuations. “Those are reallife events that happen on a somewhat regular basis,� said Johns. He estimates the containers have served 2,000 people. It’s also a system that relies on many volunteers. The Victoria Emergency Management Agency has a team of 45 regular volunteers plus a few more reserves. After a major emergency, Johns will initiate the large-scale callout for hundreds of new volunteers to chip in. But it takes hours or even days to bring those people in, give them an orientation and assign them to a task, he said. The key is to have a group of core volunteers trained in advance, he added. The city is hosting a volunteer recruitment session on Monday, Nov. 26 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Oaklands Community Centre, 2827 Belmont Ave. Volunteers must be at least 19, be calm under pressure, and must undergo a criminal record check. Free training is provided. To register, call 250-920-3373. For more information, visit PrepareVictoria.ca. rholmen@vicnews.com

Surge of earthquakes likely not linked Three significant earthquakes in three weeks along B.C.’s coastline has left Victorians wondering: are we next? Earthquake expert John Cassidy says all this seismic activity nearby does not signal we’re at greater risk of the Big One soon. “It’s no higher or lower than it normally is,� said Cassidy, a seismologist and researcher with the Geological Survey of Canada. “We don’t know for sure, but we don’t think that they are linked directly, because they are on different fault systems.� But, he qualified, they could be linked in ways scientists don’t yet understand. A magnitude 7.7 earthquake rocked Haida Gwaii and B.C.’s northern coast Oct. 27. On Nov. 7, a magnitude 6.3 quake occurred southwest of Port Hardy and on Nov. 12, a 6.4 magnitude shaker was centred in the Gulf of Alaska. “It’s a good reminder for people that we live in a very active earthquake zone,� Cassidy said. His research focuses on how the ground shakes differently throughout a region, depending on soil type. “If people feel an earthquake, it’s very helpful if people tell us,� he said. To help with this project, visit earthquakescanada.ca and follow the link ‘Did you feel it?’ rholmen@vicnews.com

The man charged in the Nov. 9 murder and aggravated assault in Esquimalt has a long history of violence. Around 9 p.m. last Friday, Victoria police arrived at an apartment building in the 600-block of Grenville Ave. to a chaotic scene, where “one man (was) unresponsive and suffering from severe injuries,� said Const. Mike Russell. “Officers performed CPR until paramedics arrived and took the man to hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.� A second man was also injured but is expected to make a full recovery, police said. Police would not confirm the identity of the deceased, but media reports identified him as Clifford Roy Antonsen, 57. Daryle Wayne Johnson, 49, appeared in court on Tuesday to face charges of second-degree murder and aggravated assault charges. Johnson has been convicted of multiple assaults dating back to 2007, and he has pled guilty to breaching probation orders, criminal harassment, wilfully resisting arrest and impaired driving, among other convictions. The Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit and VicPD detectives are investigating the homicide. Johnson will appear Nov. 23 to plead to the charges. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Leaders make waves in Victoria Byelection heats up as Victoria candidates gain some star power Daniel Palmer News staff

Each of the four major party candidates is hoping a little star power can win over undecided voters in the Nov. 26 Victoria byelection. The three opposition leaders from the NDP, Liberals and Greens took time to campaign with candidates this week, while Conservative Dale Gann settled for some joint door-knocking with cabinet minister Tony Clement. Official opposition leader Thomas Mulcair said a win by NDP candidate Murray Rankin would help set up an “epic battle” in the 2015 general election. Mulcair said the NDP will fight for sustainable federal healthcare funding, restore robust environmental review processes and hold Old Age Security eligibility at 65 years of age. The Conservatives pledged in March to raise OAS eligibility to 67 years of age for anyone under 55. “People are going to be faced with a choice they’ve never had before in Canadian politics,” Mulcair said, calling the Harper government “aloof, cut off and arrogant.” On his way to a Remembrance Day ceremony Sunday at the legislature, interim Liberal leader Bob Rae praised candidate Paul

Tom Fletcher/Black Press

Federal NDP leader Thomas Mulcair, left, joins Victoria byelection candidate Murray Rankin on a campaign tour. Summerville for his “great knowledge of what’s happening in the world economy” and his strong opposition to the proposed secondary sewage treatment project for the Capital Region. The Liberals have been outspoken on issues like legalizing marijuana and reforming the criminal justice and electoral systems, he said. Rae, who will not be seeking the Liberal leadership in 2013, said Ottawa needs fresh faces and renewed genuine debate. “Messages are being repeated and people are marketing themselves as if they’re a brand of soup, and (politicians) are selling themselves in that way, but also dissing the other products on the market,” Rae said. “And one of the things that amount of negativity does is it creates a sense of antagonism.” He added that he hopes to see younger candidates vying for

federal office in the future. At a press conference Monday, Green candidate Donald Galloway and Saanich-Gulf Islands MP Elizabeth May called on byelection candidates to jointly oppose any oil pipeline expansion, including the twinning of the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline to the Burrard Inlet in Burnaby. “If you care about the environment, you can’t cherry pick the projects you oppose when they are all alike,” May said in a statement. The Greens will host David Suzuki Nov. 19 at the Victoria Conference Centre, while the Liberals plan to showcase crowd-pleaser and leadershiphopeful Justin Trudeau Nov. 21 at the University of Victoria.

Try walking a mile in their shoes Homeless advocates ask the public to feel the cold Twenty-four hours seems like a long time to go without home heating, but it’s a small inconvenience compared to the experience of people living on the streets through winter. The Coalition to End Homelessness is challenging people to try living in the cold for a day and is hoping the experience will

be enlightening. “We’re asking people to turn their heat off so they can better understand the hardships of those that live on the street or in homes without heat,” said Coalition executive director Andrew Wynn-Williams. Between November and March last winter, homeless

people were turned away from a Victoria emergency shelter more than 1,500 times. Participants in the challenge are asked to turn off thermostat right down for 24 hours starting at 9 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 7. To take the pledge, register at www.TurnYourHeatOff.ca. rholmen@vicnews.com

Fight Back with Plant Sterols!

If you find yourself running for cover every time someone coughs, or missing days of work due to chronic colds and flu, then your immune system may need help.

When GT Hiring Solutions announced on Facebook, Twitter and its blog that it was hosting a oneday job fair on Nov. 8, they generated immediate interest and more than 300 pre-registrations. That was only the tip of the iceberg. When it opened its doors at 10 a.m. that morning, nearly twice as many people had already lined Douglas Street and wrapped around the corner onto Johnson Street – all of them looking for work. The people spanned the spectrum of Victoria’s population: men and women of all ages, educational levels, experience and backgrounds. Employers included a number of restaurant chains, retail stores, construction companies, the Victoria Marriott hotel and Beacon Home Care. Factors for this level of interest are varied, said GT Hiring manager Lindsay McLaughlin, one of the fair’s organizers. “Victoria obviously has always had a lot of government jobs and they’ve imposed a hiring freeze, so that’s had an effect. As well, we have a lot of tourism and hospitality jobs and with the season winding down that has an impact too,” she said. Unemployment in Greater Victoria is generally lower than other urban areas in B.C., hovering around 5.4 per cent this year, which is lower than the 6.2 per cent unemployment rate seen in 2011, according to Statistics Canada data. McLaughlin’s firm was contracted by the provincial Ministry of Social Development in April as a WorkBC Employment Service Centre, to help people overcome hurdles when looking for work. “There are jobs out there, but it’s important to get out and network,” she said. “In some ways it’s a bit of a hidden job market and you have to work harder here to find a job.” That’s been the case for 28-year-old Heather Brass. She’s been working, but has been “underemployed” for nearly two years. She had worked for both the provincial and federal governments, and since that work evaporated, she’s found it hard to find new employers. “There’s not a lot of jobs out there and a lot of competition,” she said while waiting in line for the fair. Barb Anderson has been out of work for a year after the bank she worked at cut back staff. She went to Camosun College to upgrade her skills and at age 53 found herself in a class of 80 other students. “All of those people are out here now, looking for the same kind of work I want,” she said. “I’m competing with all of them as well as all the others in classes before and since.” Erin McFadyen, 18, said he has only managed to find part-time weekend work despite a four-month search. “Part-time doesn’t pay the bills,” he said. More information on the provincial job centres can be found at workbc.ca. reporter@vicnews.com

Plant sterols help balance the immune system to fight chronic colds and flu, especially in the winter months when our immune systems can be under constant attack. Plant sterols are essential to the body, but like vitamin C, the body cannot synthesize them, they have to be ingested. However, due to the modern processing of food, today’s diets tend to be deficient in sterols. Immuno-Care® is a one-a-day plant sterol supplement clinically tested and proven to support the body against colds, flu, seasonal allergies, infection, inflammation and the symptoms of auto-immune diseases.

OUR VIEW

Victoria centre of political map Victoria, one of three federal ridings contesting a byelection on Nov. 26, has gone strongly NDP in the past two elections, with popular former city councillor Denise Savoie on the ballot. But Savoie took early retirement for health reasons and the race to replace her appears wide open, with a collection of relative political neophytes up for election. The NDP is no doubt anxious to maintain its grip on opposition status, so it’s no surprise that federal leader Thomas Mulcair dropped by this week to lend his support to candidate Murray Rankin. Not to be outdone, the Liberals sent interim leader Bob Rae to Victoria to help candidate Paul Summerville, while the Conservatives had Treasury Board president and former Conservative health minister Tony Clement knock on doors with candidate Dale Gann. Green Party candidate Donald Galloway had his federal leader, Saanich and the Islands MP Elizabeth May, close at hand for a series of announcements and appearances as well, but she had far less distance to travel than her fellow members of parliament, who hail from Ontario or Quebec. Does the appearance of all this star power really make a difference in voters’ minds? Candidates and other party faithful get fired up when their leaders come to town, but they’re already converted. The big question is, does the leaders’ presence interest the disinterested? Unlike a general election, the future direction of the country does not hinge on the results of this byelection and those in Calgary and Durham, Ont. With that in mind, last year’s voter turnout of 68 per cent in Victoria – seven points higher than the national mark – will be difficult to beat. Then again, the appearance of the party leaders, and the media circus surrounding them, may be an indication that something important is happening. And that curiosity may be enough to encourage people who wouldn’t otherwise pay attention to find out more about their candidates and maybe even cast a ballot. Let’s hope. What do you think?

LETTERS Ferries needs competition, privatizing Re: Trying to reimagine B.C. Ferries (News, Nov. 9) To my mind, the solution to the problems at B.C. Ferries is to introduce some competition. First, the ferry terminals should be given to a new Crown corporation and run like airports, acting as landing/ departure areas for multiple carriers. Second, the B.C. Ferries fleet should be privatized, just as Air Canada was. Together these changes would enable other carriers, such as Seaspan or Lady Rose Marine Services, to enter the passenger market and provide muchneeded competition, just as Westjet does for the airline industry. Robert Smith Victoria

Trustee doesn’t support bridge Re: Potential bridge from Nanaimo to Gabriola Island (Special Report on B.C. Ferries – Part 4: Trying to reimagine B.C. Ferries, News online) I am aware that Gabriola Island is the one location presently served by ferries where a previous study indicated that a bridge could be feasible. But as a Hornby Island trustee, I support Islands Trust policy, which states that no islands should be connected by bridges.

Local Market Expert JIM BAILEY www.jimbailey.ca 1933 Oak Bay Avenue 250-592-4422

Don Denton/News staff

B.C. Ferries’ Skeena Queen heads out on a route from Victoria’s Swartz Bay terminal to Saltspring Island. The company’s fleet should be privatized and terminals given to a separate Crown corporation, one reader writes. Bridges are more than just a potential transportation solution. They pose huge land-use and community issues. I have seriously questioned “bridges” being put forward for consideration in a very generalized way in the current consultation being conducted by the province. Each route has its specific characteristics, context and mix of utilization. The current consultation would be much more useful if it was focused

upon generating constructive discussion on a route-by-route basis, based upon full information about all factors to be considered. I would not presume to comment on the particular circumstances and potential options for the Gabriola ferry route, as I do not have a sufficient level of understanding of the factors that apply to this route. Tony Law chair, Denman-Hornby Ferry Advisory Committee

Columnist, friends need a reality check Re: These pets are certainly not the cuddly kind (Column, Nov. 9) Shame on Ms. Lavin for writing such a self-centred column and even more so on the News for publishing such drivel. Poor Ms. Lavin, she and her friends actually have to wait while some old pensioner must count her pennies to buy some food with her meagre pension, whilst “others” must wait behind with their wads of bills waiting to buy all manner of luxury food. And oh, the pain of having to put up with being around someone in an electric wheelchair. That person must live in it day in and day out – think about that. And the little old lady who is with her husband? How wonderful that he will support her and help her with the groceries – which are horribly heavy for the elderly. Good for him for helping; at least someone is willing to. When was the last time you offered help to such a person getting their cart to their car? Or is it just easier to complain about them getting in your way? Listen to yourself. You have money, you have your health, you have all manner of blessings. And as a further blessing, you and your spoiled friends

are given the opportunity to be compassionate and caring. And you wasted that opportunity. Take a walk in those moccasins just for one mile. You need the reality check. Ann Vavasour Victoria

Count your blessings instead of pet peeves Re: These pets are not the cuddly kind (Column, Nov. 9) While I have no doubt Laura Lavin was attempting some humour with this piece, I just found it disturbing. I am sure that most of us can identify with some of the peeves listed, however, I think overall it was rather selfabsorbed to focus on all of these annoyances. That “old lady who’s dragging her old man around” may have no choice – perhaps her husband is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and can’t be left alone. And what about the old people that pay with pennies? Did you ever think that perhaps they had to? With respect to traffic complaints, we have probably all been guilty of each of those from time to time. Hopefully we learn from our errors but what if we don’t? Is life really going to end if someone is going slow in the fast lane? Instead of counting our

peeves and annoyances why not try counting our blessings. Show a little patience and understanding for others. Your life will be much richer for it and you will find those petty annoyances will rapidly disappear. Kate Mansell Metchosin

Impatient pet peevers need compassion Re: These pets are not the cuddly kind (Column, Nov. 9) I share several of Ms. Lavin’s pet peeves regarding supermarkets. But those people who object to “the old lady who’s dragging her old man around with her” – saying the man doesn’t know what he’s doing and doesn’t want to be there – need to remember firstly it isn’t all about them, and secondly, they could develop some compassion. That elderly lady might just be the elderly gentleman’s sole caregiver. He might be suffering from Alzheimer’s and she can’t leave him on his own at home. As much as she would prefer to have some time to herself, she has no choice but to bring him with her and maybe at some level he’s thinking of other places he would rather be. Philippa Turney Victoria

Poppy pinning a heartfelt gesture Because we just celebrated Remembrance Day, I felt it was important to mention that along Shelbourne Street, near the entrance to the Mount Doug Park, people have begun to pin poppies on the trunks of the trees. They do this because originally, these trees were planted to mark the loss of a soldier from Victoria during the First World War who died in service. I think it is an absolutely wonderful and thoughtful way for Victorians to personally remember those from our beautiful city who we lost. Sharon Griggs Saanich

PROMOTIONAL FEATURE

B.C. trucking industry offers wide choice of careers Job seekers are in luck when it comes to the commercial road transportation industry in British Columbia. Trucking companies throughout B.C. require professional drivers, mechanics, dispatchers and operations staff right now, which means that job seekers with experience and/or training may find work within their preferred region. For those considering training prior to joining the workforce, demand for skilled workers in the industry is likely to grow – to 2020 and beyond. There are a number of reasons for this. For truck drivers, the industry is facing a North America-wide shortage because most are 45 years of age or older and nearing retirement (in fact, in Canada, according to a report by the Canada Trucking Human Resources Council, 58 per cent of long-haul truck drivers fall in this age range). Similar shortages exist for other jobs, including diesel engine and heavy duty mechanics. Aside from worker shortages, economic growth in the Asia-Pacific Gateway is also driving demand for workers in transportation. This applies not only to companies in the Lower Mainland, but in other regions as well, since the Asia-Pacific “Gateway” is actually made up of an integrated supply chain of airports, seaports, rail and road connections, and border crossings, from Prince Rupert to Surrey, with links supplied by trucking. Today’s trucking industry is an exciting place to be. Equipment in many companies is state-of-the-art, meaning increased comfort and ease for drivers and opportunities for mechanics to work with technologically advanced systems, keeping both their skills and interest engaged. Dispatch relies on sophis-

ticated tracking and routing systems. Others on the operations side also use information technology of many kinds to deal with everything from licences and permits to customer services, accounting, sales and marketing. And, people joining the industry have many career choices. Drivers, for example, may work close to home as pick-up and delivery or short-haul drivers. Those who like the idea of travelling across Canada or North America can become long-haul drivers for an employer or work as owner-operators. Drivers may haul consumer goods, fuel, logs, heavy-duty equipment, livestock – most of what we purchase or consume spent some time on the road with a commercial truck! “If you are the sort of person who doesn’t like to sit still and the thought of being ‘stuck’ behind a desk all day makes you shudder, then driving might be a perfect career,” suggests Jennifer Hawes, from Victoria’s ColdStar Freight Systems. Of course, the job isn’t simply about driving. “I believe my drivers like the independence that they have during a typical workday. In addition, I know that they enjoy being the ‘eyes’ and ‘ears’ of the company – after all, it is these drivers that are on the loading docks or in the stores, talking to our customers everyday,” Hawes says. “Being our first line of defence helps us with our customer service and keeps the drivers connected to the company, especially if they can be involved in problem solving.” The industry also relies upon many complementary careers, in addition to drivers and mechanics. “Dispatchers – they are, without a doubt, a unique person! Being

able to multitask, plan detailed logistics and problem solve on the fly are just a few of the attributes,” Hawes notes. “If you love playing chess, you’d make an awesome dispatcher! “In addition, the industry often requires warehouse staff, forklift operators, lead hands, billing, audit and payroll clerks, operational people (the ones making sure maintenance is getting done and the trucks are moving efficiently), sales people, order pickers, National Safety Code staff, driver trainers and human resource people. Bigger companies also require a CEO and CFO, as well as administrative and reception support.” If you already have experience as a driver, mechanic or operations worker, most companies advertise jobs on their websites. Members of the BC Trucking Association from across the province may post jobs under Careers on www.bctrucking.com, and the provincial and federal governments

Need is growing for brain injury care

THE REWARDS YOU WANT

Roszan Holmen News staff

After successful community outreach efforts, the Victoria Brain Injury Society has, in a way, become a victim of its own success in a way. Its numbers are growing, which is great, said the society’s board president Stephen McKenzie. But there is a downside: a growing wait list for the organization’s support services. “When somebody has the guts to come in, it has taken a lot of courage,” he said. “We can’t just put them on the wait list. They should be met with open, welcome arms.” The society’s two case workers see 700 clients a year and the wait list has 22 names on it. Demand is up for two main reasons, said McKenzie. First, media attention about brain injuries has caused coaches and doctors to deal with blows to the head differently than in past. Also, people in their 40s and 50s are starting to think about the long-term effects of concussions they received playing sports in the past. The other reason for the surge in clients is the society’s push to get its name out. Tomorrow (Nov. 17) the society hosts its annual Black and White gala fundraiser. The organization hopes to raise enough to help meet the growing demand for its free services. Tickets are $150 and include gourmet food, champagne and music by classical/pop quartet Destino. The event takes place at 6:30 p.m. at the Victoria Marriott Inner Harbour, 728 Humboldt St. To buy tickets or offer sponsorship, call 250-5989339 or send an email to admin@vbis.ca.

A cluster of candles and pink roses adorn the base of a towering tree in Beacon Hill Park. In its branches, pink paper lanterns hang. Tucked within the centre of it all sit framed photographs of Amanda Todd, the 15-yearold from Port Coquitlam who took her own life a month after she posted a video to YouTube

“I wanted to raise awareness and to show those who are suffering right here and right now that they’re not alone.” Vanessa Downie

chronicling the intense bullying she experienced both online and at school. It’s been a few years since Vanessa Downie was in high school, but that didn’t change how close to home Todd’s story hit the 22-year-old Victoria resident. She was in the middle of a coffee shop when she heard of Todd’s death and soon organized a memorial for the teen on Oct. 19, the same da day memorials sprang up across C Canada. “I asked myself how something so awful could happen to someone so young and innocent,” Downie sa said prior to a leading a brief ce ceremony. “I wanted to raise

awareness and to show those who are suffering right here and right now that they’re not alone, to show bullies that we won’t stand for it.” A crowd of about 50 people, from toddlers to seniors, gathered around the memorial while Downie spoke. “It breaks my heart that she had to go through this,” said Downie, who was also bullied as a child. “No one should have to endure what she went through.” Victoria is the birthplace of perhaps the country’s strongest force against bullying: WITS – an acronym for Walk away, Ignore, Talk it out, Seek help.

Parenting

Finding the reason for the season The Årst Christmas commercial to Æash across my TV occurred this year on Oct. 28. Then, from the corner of my eye (I tried not Q SUSAN LUNDY to look), I saw a FEATURE WRITER Christmas display in a department store on Oct. 29 – the same day my mother received her Årst Christmas card in the mail. But the worst of it is I’ve been thinking about Christmas since last April – the month I realized that this year both my daughters would be attending university on the other side of Canada. Experience has shown that of all the ho-ho-ho, happy businesses out there which embrace the spirit of giving at Christmastime – airlines aren’t one of them. The cost of airline tickets during the jolly season is absurdly Grinch-like. It cast a bit of pallor over the pending season, but nothing like the gloom that hovered peripherally around us those years we actually lived with a Christmas Grinch. My ex-husband’s Christmas misery descended each November and progressively worsened as the Big Day approached. Clashes between Christmas lovers and Christmas Grinch were inevitable, such as the Christmas morning the four of us – Danica, seven, and Sierra, Åve had gathered for breakfast. I pulled our traditional cherry streusel, steaming, from the oven and poured eggnog into

fancy wine glasses. Red and green candles glimmered on the table. Looking cheerily at my family, I opened my mouth to speak. Unfortunately, Grinch-Dad also decided to speak and was soon leading a moody discourse on consumerism, depletion of South American rain forests and the robbing of the earth’s natural resources. Danica, eyes wide, suddenly recalled the worst travesty in her world and, with a few tears coursing down her cheeks, wondered, “Why do hunters go into the forest to kill animals, anyway?” Glad tidings to all! I hoped the streusel would burn his tongue. “Consumerism” sat high on my exGrinch’s list of complaints – hence this conversation one Christmas Eve as I happily snipped and taped the bounty of my many shopping trips. “Next year,” he asserted from his observation chair, “we should make all our gifts.” The thought was dizzying, as I considered myself making gifts amid soccer practices, school meetings, work, housecleaning, Christmas plays, Christmas baking, Christmas shopping and Christmas planning. “Time could be a factor there,” I said mildly. “Oh, we can make time. The girls would love new dresses.” “I can’t sew and they don’t wear dresses.” “I’m sure they’d wear them if they knew

you made them with love.” So I decided to put the question to them the next morning just before we opened presents. “Daddy thinks I should make you dresses for Christmas next year. I’d make them with love rather than skill. Would you wear them?” A battle raged in Danica’s eyes. She didn’t want to hurt my feelings: “Ah, um. ‘I’m not sure.” “Sierra?” “No way. Can we get on with the presents?” Although that conversation still amuses us – as do other memories of our Christmases with a Grinch – today we understand that far, far, more important than presents is the priceless gift of being together. So, after mulling it over (since April!) and with a nod to the ex, this year, I Know an outstanding kid proposed we ease Christmas costs by handin your community? making our presents – perhaps with love and not skill.

Once they’re off at school, police liaison ofÅcers are the next line of defence against bullying of all kinds – including cyberbullying. While their focus isn’t solely curbing bullying via social media, police

have had to deal with an increase in online harassment, including one incident of inappropriate photo sharing in recent memory, said Saanich police spokesperson Sgt. Dean Jantzen. “It can be as dramatic as taking a whole student body, jamming them in the gym and reading them the riot act,” Jantzen said. “(OfÅcers) had to bust their tails at that school for a couple of days … but as we know, in this digital age, once something’s uploaded, it’s out there.” It’s that permanence – the idea that something yesterday’s youth would have experimented with at school, could be documented online today and follow a kid around forever – that has Leadbeater most frustrated. “When you try these things out on the Internet and if don’t like it, you can’t get it back if you get a negative reaction,” Leadbeater said. Back beneath the canopy of the decorated tree, Jason Sample stood in support of Downie’s effort with his wife and four-year-old daughter. “As a parent, I’m constantly watching what my daughter is watching, constantly monitoring,” said Sample, who admitted he spent time on both sides of the bullying issue as a child. Sample remained hopeful, despite the tears for Todd in the crowd. “There’s always a way to reach out,” Sample said. “Take the pain that we’ve all felt and use it to fuel the change,” Downie told onlookers.

This Family’s Life

Q&A

Sara Bjorkquist is a full-time mom who is taking a break from a long career working nationally and internationally in the health and environmental field. She has one son, two-year-old Nathan, but it sometimes feels like she has more since they spend a lot of time with his group of toddler friends. The family moved here from Europe last fall so she is enjoying exploring Victoria and the island. She also enjoys organic gardening (she is currently studying to become a certified master organic gardener), landscape design and community development, healthy living/ eating, yoga and pilates, hiking, international issues, traveling and so much more.

Q A

How do you find time for yourself in addition to your role as a mother? After a very intense first year with our son where we were not apart for more than a few hours here and there, I realized how important it is to find time for myself. Now, my husband often takes care of our son a few evenings during the week so that I can slip out for a class or to spend some time with friends. I am also lucky to have my in-laws living close by, and they are a great help.

Q A

What are you reading right now? What do you read with your son? I just finished reading “The Gifts of Imperfection” by Brene Brown. With my son, I am currently reading lots of “Caillou” books, as well as anything by

Sara Bjorkquist with her son, Nathan.

Sandra Boynton. Richard Scarry’s “What Do People Do All Day?” is another favorite.

Q A

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

There are many! Early morning bike rides to the beach are wonderful in this warm autumn weather. We also like to spend time making tents in the bed in the morning – it gives us an excuse to stay lying down for a bit longer!

Q A

What is the part of your day you most look forward to? I love waking up and greeting my son in the morning, when he is warm and snuggly and has great “bed-head”. I also enjoy my little break during his nap time. And my husband’s return home at the end of the day is always a happy time. O

Vignettes address Plaza Hotel’s hotbed of history Charla Huber News staff

Twisting the historical tales of sex trade, travellers and the Victoria Plaza Hotel, three Victoria feminists created the show Ghosts of the Plaza. The 100-year-old hotel has a vibrant history and if the walls could talk, they’d have plenty of tales to tell. “It’s a show that’s never been seen before. It’s a comedy and you’ll be entertained,” says Sadie Forbes, co-producer and co-writer. “It’s a working-class feminist perspective on one of Victoria’s most controversial spaces.” The show includes elements of sex work, strippers, feminism and gangsters. During the 1920s and 1930s hotels in Victoria hit a bit of financial slump and started doubling as brothels, says Forbes. Ghosts of the Plaza was first imagined by the show’s co-producer and co-writer Sarah Smith. She worked in the hotel for nine years as a bartender, and studied the hotel’s history in the basement when she could. When she heard the City of

Artwork space-age, literally Charla Huber News staff

Spaceship armour, it turns out, is good for artists too. Metchosin potter Robin Hopper proudly holds a painting on ceramic, explaining the tile is the same material that covers spaceships. “I am using a ceramic product that was developed for space shuttles as a heat shield,” Hopper said. It can withstand temperatures up to 1,500 C. “It looks and feels like porcelain, but it’s quite different,” he said, loudly banging the material on his table. “It is very strong, much stronger than porcelain.” The material has a ceramic substrate, he said. About three years ago Hopper contacted a company in Colorado which makes the material for the now grounded space shuttles. When he was told leftovers end up in the trash, he asked if the company would mail him some. “Two months later I sent them a glazed painting. They were blown away. Now they have a secondary industry selling (tiles to artists). “I had been looking for Charla Huber/News staff something like this for 50 Robin Hopper shows off a painting created on the same ceramic years,” said Hopper, who tiles that once covered the NASA space shuttles. has played with clay since he was three. “Now with my health problems I can’t hold a driveways.

Keeper guides Vikes to bronze Vikes host, finish third in nationals Travis Paterson News staff

Stephanie Parker stomped the lid shut on her tenure as a CIS goalkeeper as the University of Victoria Vikes defeated the Ottawa Gee-Gees in the national soccer championship bronze medal game on Sunday. The Vikes hosted the national tournament from Nov. 8 to 11 at Centennial Stadium, winning the bronze medal in a penalty kick shootout, 1-0. Parker was outstanding in her final moments wearing the Vikes sweater, earning the clean sheet through regulation time. The fifth-year stopped three of

Lacrosse to shine under Friday night lights Travis Paterson News staff

Claremont’s field lacrosse academy hosts six visiting schools this week for the annual Spartan Shootout on the turf fields of the University of Victoria. The showpiece of the tournament is a “Friday Night Lights” style game tonight (Nov. 16) at 7:30 p.m., between Claremont and Bainbridge Island of Washington State. “We’re going big, American style, like they do with high school football, although in the eastern States there is a big high

school lacrosse scene that does it too,” said Darren Reisig, head of the Claremont program. “Last year’s (Friday night match) was really well attended and we expect this year’s to be as well, with students promoting ticket sales and PA announcements (in the school).” The Friday night event is led by a committee of Claremont students and includes a fundraiser for Kidsport Victoria. Claremont is entering two squads into the seven-team senior division, and two squads into the six team junior division. Visiting are B.C. schools New Westminster,

Charles Best, Delta and Vancouver College, and from Washington State, Mercer Island and Bainbridge Island. Two of Claremont’s 2013 grads are committed to play in the NCAA next year, with three or four more expected to sign, Reisig said. Jake Cullen, who was the leading scorer of the 2011 Spartan Shootout, is committed to the University of Albany. Goalie Stuart Smith is going to Bellarmine University in Kentucky. Smith will join fellow Claremont grads Karsen Leung, Mitch McLaren and Liam Kelly at Bellarmine. sports@vicnews.com

The Camosun Chargers men’s basketball team is seeking its first win this weekend with visits to the Langara Falcons and Douglas Royals. Last weekend the men (0-3) were defeated by the Falcons, 90-53, and the Royals, 71-58. The Chargers women (1-2) edged the Falcons 53-52 on Friday, but lost 57-47 to the Royals on Saturday.

Vikes basketball host Trinity West Spartans The UVic Vikes men’s and women’s basketball teams return to McKinnon Gymnasium against the Trinity Western Spartans tonight (Nov. 16) and Saturday. Tip off tonight is 6 p.m. for the women and 8 p.m. for the men, with 5 and 7 p.m. starts on Saturday. The Vikes women (2-2) are ranked No. 8 in the country and are coming off 63-49 and 62-52 road losses to Abbotsford’s Fraser Valley Cascades. The Vikes men (4-0) faired better against the Cascades, winning 73-69 and 78-72, and are first in Canada West.

Wolves steady behind Cougars and Braves A Max Mois hat-trick paced the Westshore Wolves past the Comox Valley Glacier Kings with a 7-5 victory on Friday (Nov. 9). The game was the latest example of the volatile Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League season where any team is beatable – any team other than the Victoria Cougars (20-0-1) and the Saanich Braves (14-4-0), that is. Despite having only recently popped the tags off their expansion team sweaters, the Wolves have excelled with 12 wins in 21 games, one point back of the Peninsula Panthers for third in the South division. The Wolves visit the Oceanside Generals Saturday night. Kerry Park visit the Braves tonight (Nov. 16), 6:30 p.m. at Pearkes, while the Cougars host Comox on Sunday, 3:30 p.m. at Archie Browning Sports Centre. sports@vicnews.com

A group of Victoria skaters qualified for the Skate Canada Challenge next month with medal-winning performances at the BC/YT Sectional Championship in Parksville, from Nov. 8 to 11. Ice dance team Ravie Cunningham and Cedar Bridgewood of the Saanich Skating Club of Victoria won bronze in the pre novice category. It’s only the second year together for 14-year-old Cunning-

ham of Vic High, and 16-year-old Bridgewood of Spectrum Community school, and it’s the second year winning a medal at the BC/YT sectionals. Last year they were the top ice dance team for the juvenile age group at the BC/YT sectionals. But this year Cunningham and Bridgewood had to make the jump to prenovice, against skaters who are a little older and a little more experienced. Getting an edge on the Saanich duo was Carlissa Lem and Le Vu of the Juan de Fuca Skating Club, who won silver. Lem and Vu will duel it out with Cunningham and Bridgewood for the pre-novice national champi-

“Undoubtedly these are the best homes on the market when you factor in our views, design and price point. No wonder there has been an overwhelming response.” – Tracey Lang, Coho New Home Consultant

Coho Phase I Completion: Move-In Ready By Christmas View Royal Development Announces Completion Event Saturday November 17th VICTORIA, BC, NOVEMBER 16, 2012 - Coho is celebrating the completion of Phase I of the private hilltop view community on November 17th. Coho is set on a hilltop with expansive views in beautiful View Royal, and features thoughtfully designed and luxurious interiors, showcased in the full display home at the Discovery Centre at 280 Wilfert Road. Saturday marks the Phase I Completion Event, and will be open to the entire community. The event

will feature the delicious and popular Hungry Rooster food cart with a complimentary lunch for party-goers, top Vancouver Island Realtors, excited purchasers, and local residents. The day kicks off at noon and tours will be conducted until 3pm. Guests will be given the opportunity to visit the Discovery Centre, meet the local sales team, see the fullsized display home, tour the stunning private hilltop location with construction near-completion, and peek inside select completed homes. For

a limited time, prospective purchasers can save thousands by taking advantage of special developerapproved end-of-construction buyer incentives to celebrate completion, and dream of moving into their new home before Christmas. Developed by Omicron, widely known as the largest integrated design, construction, and development firm in Western Canada, Coho is unlike any other. Hilltop views, quality appliance packages and finishes, clever layouts, interior design

by award-winning Portico Design Group – yet entry level prices are what have drawn purchasers and continue to draw interest to Victoria’s fastest selling presale development. The development is over 60% sold, and a good selection of 1 and 2 bedroom homes are available for December move-in, priced from just $241,900 (including net HST). The completion of these hilltop homes will contribute to the migration of population to the West Shore,

particularly View Royal, as more people and businesses grow the area, and have been at a rapid rate over the past decade. If you would like more information about Coho, please contact our New Home Consultant Tracey Lang at 250.478.2646 or email tracey@ coholiving.com.

ASK FOR DETAILS

Tim Collins Reporting Oak Bay is in the throes of developing a new Heritage Plan intended to help preserve key historic buildings for future generations. But the oldest of these buildings, Tod House, continues to exist as a municipal rental property. It’s a situation described by municipal archivist Jean Sparks as “a dismal heritage strategy” that endangers the heritage value of the site. Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen, however, sees the current management model as the most reasonable way of maintaining the property and safeguarding the house from vandals. The house was built at what is now 2564 Heron St. by John Tod in 1850. The chief fur trader

Oak Bay Heritage Commission member Ben Clinton-Baker outside historical Tod House on Heron Street. for the Hudson’s Bay Company, Tod was appointed to B.C.’s first legislative council in 1851 and later served as a justice of the peace until 1864. Tod himself is a character of contradictions. By some accounts, he forged bonds between the First Nations community and the HBC. On the other side of the ledger, Robert Belyk, in his book John Tod; Rebel in the Ranks, characterizes Tod as an argumentative and sometimes violent man, a hard drinker who was disdainful of the

First Nations and who may have used small pox-infested blankets in an effort to spread pestilence among those people. Whatever the truth may be about Tod, it seems that his house has inherited at least some of the man’s penchant for controversy. The home was under private ownership until 1975, when it came into the public domain to protect it from the likelihood of demolition.

Home’s heritage care in conflict Continued from Page A29

“WATCHING ELIZABETH MAY IN THE HOUSE THIS LAST YEAR, I WAS PUT IN MIND OF BOADICEA LEADING THE CELTIC TRIBE AGAINST THE ROMAN EMPIRE. IT WAS CLEAR TO ME SHE WAS – AND IS – THE ONLY REAL LEADER IN THAT DISMAL PLACE. SO I THINK IT IS TIME TO SEND HER SOME REINFORCEMENTS...

It had been considered for national heritage status, but a 1964 report by the federal government incorrectly stated that “unsympathetic renovations” had destroyed many of the house’s original interior surfaces. It took until 1992 for the truth to be discovered. A report prepared by Stuart Stark, a Victoria heritage consultant, revealed that many of the surfaces had actually been covered over and still existed. Stark also discovered evidence that a staircase in the house had been removed, as had a room in the attic. “You don’t do (interior renovations on a historic building) without documenting and photographing. … None of that was done,” he said. Those poorly monitored renovations, Stark said, could eventually destroy the heritage value of the building. In 1975, the property came into the public domain, jointly managed by the province and the municipality of Oak Bay. The Tod House management committee was established

Tod House, seen here in the 1940s, was placed on the Canadian Register of Historic Places in 2005. to manage the property and safeguard its heritage value. When the property was turned over to the municipality in 2005, that committee was dissolved. That left any renovation requests as the responsibility of Oak Bay’s municipal clerk, who can approve such renovations, not necessarily with the advice of the Oak Bay Heritage Commission. “They took away any power that the committee had and kept it to themselves,” Sparks said. “They didn’t want input from the public, that’s for sure.” According to Sparks, the

Heritage Commission annually approaches municipal council to establish an oversight committee. “No matter how many times we’ve written them, they haven’t (re-established the oversight committee).” Ben Clinton-Baker, a member of the Heritage Commission, shares Stark’s concerns. “We need a focal point for heritage infrastructure in Oak Bay and Tod House would be perfect,” he said. “The way it’s managed now is very dangerous to the house.” Not so, said Jensen. “It’s been 20 years since Stark’s report and the ‘recipe for disaster’ hasn’t happened,” he said. “As a rental, the property has the distinction of being the oldest continuously occupied home in Victoria. It’s heated and cared for and not vandalized.” As a private residence, the house is also not under the stewardship of people who have its heritage value as their primary concern, said Don Reksten, past member of the Heritage Commission. He said the Tod House subcommittee submitted a report to council in 2003 in which it made a series of recommendations for alternative uses for the house. “Ongoing modern usage as a rental will continue to seriously jeopardize the fabric of the house and ultimately lead to escalating expenditures,” he said. Other heritage buildings of later vintage have had a variety of uses. Craigflower Manor, located in View Royal, is open to the public and is administered by The Land Conservancy, while Dodd House, located in Saanich, is similarly used as a rental property.

TELUS supports local charities at annual Celebration of Giving More than 200 leaders from diverse charitable and notfor-profit organizations came together Nov. 8 to celebrate Victoria’s giving spirit. The annual Celebration of Giving breakfast event at the Fairmont Empress Hotel was followed by a workshop on non-profit branding presented by TELUS and the Association of Fundraising Professionals – Vancouver Island, featuring Jocelyne Daw. Four community groups were highlighted during the inspiring event. The Victoria YMCA-YWCA Strong Kids Campaign was the recipient of TELUS’ most recent Phones for Good® campaign. Thanks to its customers, TELUS was able to donate $65,450, giving kids the opportunity to access quality Y programs and activities. Autism Support Dogs received a $20,000 donation from the TELUS Victoria Community Board to help train more autism support dogs for children in Greater Victoria. Their next puppy will be named “TELEY.” With a $20,000 donation, Breakfast for Learning is able to provide meaningful support to at-risk children and youth in the Victoria area, ensuring they have the opportunity to attend school well-nourished and ready to learn. The Mustard Seed Food Bank received $750 from guests at the event to help kick start their annual Turkey Drive.

Long time Early V8 Ford Club members Joe and Neva Ledlin drove their newly customized 1950 Chevrolet to the club’s All Ford Picnic in Abbotsford last summer and won the ALYN EDWARDS People’s Choice Award CLASSIC out of approximately RIDES 300 classic and special interest vehicles. It was somewhat puzzling to the Coquitlam couple to win the Street Rod/Modified Award with their Chevy because they’ve been taking their 1946 Ford and 1951 Mercury to the Ford club show for the past 29 years without any official recognition. It’s what they had done to their original car that captured all the attention. Obviously this car is a showstopper. For the past 50 years, Joe Ledlin has been collecting custom car magazines, which he reads constantly. He compiled the ideas he preferred over the years and knew just what he wanted. He was eyeing the 1950 Chevrolet Fleetline two-door sedan purchased 27 years ago from an elderly man in Abbotsford as a good low-mileage car painted its original Mist Green colour. Turning this car into a custom was a chance for Joe to return to his youth when he owned a similar car to cruise the streets of Vancouver. To his daughter, the light green car was “slime green� and the car was affectionately nicknamed Slime. The Fleetline model was a subseries of the Chevrolet Deluxe cars offered in a distinctive sloping back design. They

Continued Contin ed from Pg Pg. B1

It was a good car, although somewhat underpowered with its original 216cubic-inch, six-cylinder overhead valve engine producing 95 horsepower. As the years rolled on, the mechanical condition of the car began to deteriorate with brakes and suspension needing attention. The Ledlins decided to do something different with their Chevrolet Fleetline. Joe was a teenager when custom cars and hot rods prowled the streets of Vancouver and the low-slung, V8-powered customs of that era had captivated him. So he scheduled the original 1950 Chevrolet for a refit at Spa Hills Custom Rides – a multi-generation customizing and restoration shop operated by Josh Mitchell on the family chicken ranch outside Salmon Arm. The concept was to completely disassemble the car and turn it into a mild custom representative of the way teenagers modified their early 1950s cars when they were just a few years old. But this modified car was going to have modern mechanical components, including all the suspension, and a beefed-up, late-model Chevy V8 engine. When the car was taken to the shop, it included a photo album and pages of detailed requests, to make Joe Ledlin’s dream come true. The talents and skills of Josh and Ron Mitchell, Mike Mackintosh, Scottie Bussiere, Will Porterfield and Brad Clifford made it a reality.

The painstaking work took three years to complete. The modifications are subtle but plentiful. The most striking change is the colour – candy lime green – a custom mix by Josh Mitchell. All body seams were filled in to smooth out the lines of the Fleetline Chevy. Josh took on the careful task of filling the two-piece hood, a little at a time, to prevent warping. The electric aerial was recessed into the fender. The original sun visor and spotlight were reinstalled. The car has two rare options that people often ask about: an early 1949 Chevrolet optional steering wheel of which Joe has only seen two; and ultrarare 1949 Chevrolet full wheel disc hub caps, which Joe had never seen until he purchased them. Old-school pin striping was applied by artist ‘Kelly’ of Westwold, B.C. The inside was not overlooked with a custom tan interior stitched in place in the chicken ranch shops. The dash is painted the colour of the car with “Slime” lettered on the glove box door as a reflection of the Chevy’s family nickname. There is an upholstered lower panel for the air conditioning vents and controls. The final touch is full-length lake pipes with exhaust cutouts to bypass the muffler controlled by solenoids. “We drove the car back from Salmon Arm and I opened up the straight exhaust,” enthuses Joe Ledlin. He now has the custom that he would have liked in the 1950s when he was 19 and owned his first Chevy Fleetline. For the first show of the busy

The smooth sloping rear of Joe Ledlin’s customized 1950 Chevrolet Fleetline shows the custom touches. The highly modified interior of the Chevy Fleetline has the name ‘Slime’ in script on the glovebox door.

summer season, the Ledlins cruised ‘Slime Green’ back to the Spa Hills chicken farm for a display of cars built by that custom shop and, of course, a chicken barbecue.

Toyota has sold 1.02 million hybrids in first 10 months of 2012. More than 80 per cent of hybrids sold in Canada are Toyotas like the Prius c.

Toyota’s 2012 hybrid sales top 1.02 million METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM

Toyota has announced global sales of its hybrid vehicles – since the first was launched in 1997 – have reached more than 4.6 million units as of Oct. 31 of this year, with 1.02 million selling this year alone (from Jan. 1 through Oct. 31). Toyota has endeavoured to promote the mass-market adoption of hybrid vehicles in order to meet its environmental goals and allow its customers to choose a vehicle that reduces their own environmental impact and use of fossil fuels. As of the end of October 2012, there are 19 Toyota-produced hybrid vehicle models and one plug-in hybrid vehicle model available in approximately 80 countries and regions around the world. In Canada, Toyota and Lexus offer 10 of these hybrid vehicle models and one plug-in hybrid model. Globally, Toyota plans to launch 21 new hybrid models by the end of 2015 and will make further efforts to expand its hybrid vehicle product lineup and sales territories. In Canada, the launch of the “Prius c” compact hybrid hatchback and rising awareness of hybrid vehicles have pushed the percentage of hybrid vehicles sold higher each year. More than 80 per cent of Canada’s hybrid vehicle sales are Toyota and Lexus hybrids. Toyota calculates that as of Oct. 31, Toyota hybrid vehicles sold since 1997 have reduced CO2 emissions (considered to be a cause of climate change) by approximately 30 million tonnes worldwide compared to the amount of emissions from gasoline-powered vehicles of similar size and driving performance. Furthermore, Toyota estimates that its hybrid vehicles have saved approximately 11 million litres of gasoline worldwide compared to the amount used by gasoline-powered vehicles of similar size.

As the weather turns cold, are you prepared to face the hazards of winter driving? Some key tips for winter driving include: • If you can see your breath, it’s time to switch. When the temperature approaches freezing, switch your allseason or high-performance tires to winter tires. With unique polymers and tread pattern elements, winter tires are optimized for more grip and the control you need in winter weather conditions. • Periodically check traction, or available grip, when driving in challenging conditions. Road conditions can change drastically in a short period of time/ distance in winter. Apply the brakes with moderate pressure to determine the

NEWS • OAK BAY NEWS • SAANICH NEWS • GOLDSTREAM NEWS GAZETTE • PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW

available grip and modify your driving, if needed, to respond to ever-changing road conditions. • Maximize available grip by separating driving maneuvers when negotiating a curve. Brake to an appropriate speed while traveling in a straight line prior to a curve. This allows you to use all of the available grip for negotiating the curve. Accelerate gradually when you are able to straighten the steering wheel at the exit of the turn. • Avoid cruise control in wet, icy or snowy conditions. Maintain control of acceleration and deceleration at all times. • Forgo driving if the weather looks too treacherous. Safety comes first. Winter tires are designed to provide maximum performance during low winter temperatures

and on ice, snow and slush. They perform better due to the combination of specialized winter tread patterns, deeper tread depth and unique tread compounds that remain softer in winter temperatures. Retailers offer a wide range of tires sold as winter tires with an M+S (mud and snow) rating, but they are not at all equal in performance. The Rubber Manufacturers Association in the U.S. and the Rubber Association of Canada developed the mountain/ snowflake symbol, which can be found on a tire’s sidewall, to designate winter tires that meet the newest severe snow standards. Tires that have earned this symbol can be expected to provide 20- to 40-per-cent-more traction in winter conditions than conventional all-season tires, which may be the difference between driving safely and losing control.

All-New 2013 Ford Fusion Earns IIHS Top Safety Pick METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM

The U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has named the all-new 2013 Ford Fusion a Top Safety Pick. To earn a Top Safety Pick, a vehicle must receive a rating of “Good” in the following evaluations: offset frontal impact, side impact, dynamic head restraint and roof strength testing. In addition to the Top Safety Pick, the new Ford Fusion offers leading fuel economy and smart technologies, such as auto start/stop. The all-new Fusion features the Personal Safety System with new safety belt technologies and frontal impact airbags. The Personal Safety System is a

new venting technology. The side airbag’s venting technology takes into account the size of the occupant.

On smaller passengers, the effect is just the opposite because the occupant’s shoulder is below the vent, the gas vents out of the airbag. The driver’s frontal airbag uses a reconfigured curve-shaped tether system that pulls in the lower section to create a pocket that help to lessen the impact of the airbag on the driver’s chest and ribs in frontal crashes.

network of components that work together to tailor the deployment of the front airbags during frontal collisions. The restraint control module (RCM) translates information collected by the front crash sensors, front outboard safety belt buckle switches, driverseat track position and passenger seat weight sensor. Using this information, the RCM activates the safety belt pretensioners and determines how the dual-stage front airbags will deploy. This tailored deployment is designed to better protect an occupant by adapting its release to the size of the person. The redesigned seat-mounted side airbags deploy lower in the pelvis area in addition to the chest and incorporate
