Economic renewal takes root

Addiction care plan a hot topic in Fernwood Public meeting to address area residents’ concerns

Songhees Nation involved in marine training, wellness centre development

Daniel Palmer When Songhees Nation leaders first heard about Seaspan’s $8-billion shipbuilding contract, they knew an unprecedented economic opportunity was taking shape.

The late Chief Robert Sam and councillors began talks with the federal and provincial governments in 2011, looking at ways to take advantage of the Songhees’ proximity to the neighbouring Esquimalt Graving Dock.

On Tuesday, their hard work and negotiations came to fruition with the opening of the Industrial Marine Training and Applied Research Centre, a 1,200-squaremetre education facility on Daniel Palmer Maplebank Road, and more importantly, on Songhees Reporting land.

“For too many years, we’ve been excluded from this land,” Songhees Coun. Ron Sam said at a joint press conference that included IMTARC executive director Alex Rueben, Seaspan president Malcolm Barker, B.C. Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation Ida Chong, and Lynne Yelich, the federal minister of state for western economic development.

“We’re entering into a relationship of mutual benefit,” Sam said.

The training centre, comprised of two classrooms, a computer lab and offices, can handle about 50 students at a time and will provide customized curriculum, ranging from

Songhees Nation Coun. Ron Sam sits in a classroom at the Industrial Marine Training and Applied Research Centre, which opened Tuesday on Songhees land. While the hope is that members of the band will be trained in shipbuilding skills at the centre, an even bigger economic driver will be the $16-million wellness centre to be built nearby. safety certifications to project management for the shipbuilding and repair industry.

By leasing land for the project, the Songhees were able to secure funding for its planned $16-million wellness centre, a health, administration, tourism, education and recreation facility set to open next year.

“It’s going to be our economic engine, part of our nation,” Sam said later in an interview.

“There’s going to be a lot of business development through the centre that will spur on a lot of economic development for our people.”

While Songhees band council is still ironing out marketing and facility management details, the wellness centre will serve as an anchor for community services and schooling, said Fran L’Hirondelle, education co-ordinator.

“We’re going to bring all of our classes, K-12, under one roof,” she said.

The project is on budget and scheduled to open Jan. 22, 2014, said Richard Mandy, project manager.

Mandy has been making the rounds at various chambers of commerce and municipal councils over the past few months, scoping out potential tourism, marketing and other business partnerships.

“We know there’s got to be a balance of renting it out and keeping time open for band members, but we have to find that balance yet. It’s still a work in progress,” Sam said.

For now, there is an abundance of interest from Songhees members who want to get into the training centre at an entry level.

“We have members who are very keen to get into this school,” he said. “We hope in working with Alex (Rueben) and his team, our members will have thriving careers in shipbuilding.” dpalmer@vicnews.com

The Fernwood Community Association is hosting an information session for residents concerned about the Vancouver Island Health Authority’s plans to reach out to the street population in the area.

In December, VIHA announced $500,000 in funding for a renewed service model to help the roughly 100 people in the street community with severe addiction and mental health challenges.

The plan also renews services at two existing VIHA mental health and addiction facilities: the sobering centre at 1123 Pembroke St. in Fernwood, and the Access Health Centre at 713 Johnson St. A public information session is necessary to ease resident concerns about the level of new service, including the distribution of needles and other harm reduction materials, said association president Tony Sprackett.

Island rail project gains momentum Fairfield residents invited

Budgeted CRD funding gives initiative a boost Daniel Palmer News staff

The return of rail to Vancouver Island is moving full steam ahead.

As Capital Regional District directors finalize their 2013 budget, the biggest piece of new spending is intended to get passenger rail service back up and running between Victoria and Courtenay.

“I really think it’s important we restore rail, not only for intercity transport, but also for commuter rail,” said Victoria Coun. Ben Isitt, who sits on the CRD’s finance committee that recommended the funding boost last fall.

The Island Corridor Foundation will receive $1.2 million from the CRD and a total of $5.4 million from the five Island regional districts to make necessary bridge and trestle upgrades, with the hope of restoring VIA Rail service between Victoria, Nanaimo and Courtenay, said ICF director Graham Bruce.

“We’re right in the middle of the train service agreement right now,” he said, adding the trains could have early morning service to Victoria.

The federal and provincial governments have also promised $15 million for necessary rail tie replacements and track work.

“If all goes well, work could probably start sometime in May,” Bruce said.

CRD staff are recommending the funding be split into two annual payments of $600,000 to keep 2013 costs contained.

The foundation is open to working with all the regional districts on the best funding model, but conversations will continue, to “make sure that works well for us, too,” Bruce said.

The CRD’s 2013 preliminary budget calls for a 2.5-per-cent increase in spending this year.

That doesn’t include costs associated with the region’s $783-million secondary sewage treat-

Monthly meeting features various topics of interest Daniel Palmer News staff

Getting VIA passenger rail service going again back is one of the goals of the Island Corridor Foundation. Money from the Capital Regional District will help in that regard. ment project, which will be presented separately to the wastewater committee in the coming weeks.

“I think most people around the board table realize there’s not a lot of appetite for new spending, and that overall, we should be looking to provide good, cost-effective government and not (be) embarking in new areas,” Isitt said.

Rail is largely considered an appropriate exception because of its importance to economic development and population growth in the region.

Passenger rail service is only the first step to a revived rail industry on the Island, Bruce said.

“It’s not the end game, it’s the beginning game. If there are demand increases and if we

find other opportunities, then we’d operate to suit those as well.”

CRD directors have until March 31 to approve the 2013 budget. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Also on the books CRD staff are also recommending a $2-perhousehold increase to boost regional parks funding by about $415,000 this year. $150,000 in new spending is being considered to work on a regional deer management strategy.

The E&N Rail Trail’s Humpback section is slated to get $117,000 for maintenance.

Victoria councillor revs up speed limit debate Daniel Palmer News staff

Victoria wants the province to lower the speed limit on residential streets to 40 kilometres an hour so the City can avoid costly changes at the municipal level.

When the idea of lowering the default speed limit was introduced last year by Coun. Shellie Gudgeon, she was told the roughly $200 for each signpost along residential

streets would be too big a financial burden for the city.

“It was suggested we lobby the province to (lower the limit),” Gudgeon said. The rationale for lowering speed limits is to create a better balance for pedestrians and cyclists, she added.

Esquimalt has created a hodgepodge of 50, 40 and 30 km/h speed zones along Esquimalt Road in recent years.

Will Wieler, Victoria’s engineer-

ing manager, said the expense is nothing to balk at.

“The speed limit has to be identified every time a new cross street comes in,” he said.

“Depending on whether you need to put in a base, or core into the sidewalk, the cost can go up.”

Victoria council unanimously approved the motion and directed city staff to craft a resolution to be put on the 2013 Union of B.C. Municipalities conference agenda

for this September.

Gudgeon isn’t convinced the province will embrace the idea, but said the conversation needs to take place.

“There are so many solutions that we as a city could be doing.

But it’s a worthwhile discussion.

We need to improve transit and the walkability of our city and reducing the speed limit sends a powerful message.” dpalmer@vicnews.com

Do-it-yourself projects are all the rage these days, from button-making to robotics to home decor.

But DIY seismic upgrading?

The Fairfield Gonzales Community Association has the topic on the agenda for its monthly open house on Monday called Come to the Place, where members of the public are free to present topics of interest.

This month, an engineer and member of the heritage foundation will be providing tips on how to make homes safer in the event of an earthquake, said John Taylor, facility co-ordinator.

“They’ve gone through and said, ‘Here’s what you can do without going to a contractor to make your house more stable, and if you do go to a contractor, here’s what you need to know,’” Taylor said.

A presentation on budgeting for young families will also be available.

The community association has been holding its open houses since September, after organizers wanted to capitalize on the one night each week without programming.

“It’s a new idea, I don’t think many community associations are doing this,” Taylor said.

Come to the Place takes place on the last Monday of every month from 6 to 8 p.m., 1330 Fairfield Rd. For more information, call 250-382-4604 or visit fairfieldcommunity.ca. dpalmer@vicnews.com

The planting is part of an outdoor education component spearheaded by the school’s parent advisory council.

Getting their hands dirty Garry oak meadow project teaches children stewardship Don Descoteau News staff

Students in Winona Waldron’s Grade 1-2 class, all clad in rubber boots, troop single file across a blocked-off portion of Fifth Street behind Quadra elementary.

They gather in a semicircle underneath a nearby grove of Garry oak trees and listen intently to Todd Carnahan describe how the camas bulbs he told them about in class should be planted, then covered up with mulch.

Carnahan, the land care co-ordinator for the Habitat Acquisition Trust, oversees the six and seven year olds as they happily do their bit to restore this little corner of Garry oak meadow.

A collection of native flowering shrubs is coming the next day to finish off the project.

“What’s the most important thing to remember not to do with these bulbs?” he asks them before they head off. Step on

them, someone offers up correctly.

“So, before you leave on spring vacation, come and look for the blooms coming up,” Carnahan adds, then proceeds to give the kids high fives.

Spearheaded by the parent advisory council, the schoolwide project to plant 313 bulbs – one for each student at Quadra – along with shrubs is part of a project the Trust calls the Green Spots Program. It began last fall with students spreading mulch and cardboard down, in preparation for the planting.

The goal is to get children outside to learn about their environment, as well as take ownership in what they help create, Carnahan says.

“Nature deficit disorder is rampant these days,” he says, standing beside an oak he estimates at between 200 and 300 years old.

“If we lose kids after they’re seven or eight and don’t get them outside, they may not develop that spark of interest or a love for nature.”

disappear, replaced with developments.

She helped drive a decision by the PAC to not invest in plastic and metal play equipment, as many schools have done in recent years, but to put its money into natural spaces.

“Todd came on board and gave us some focus,” Byrne says. “For the kids, it was really important to (tell) them that they’re sacrificing a bit of a play space, but they’re also becoming stewards of that space.”

The Garry oak meadow restoration project was helped along with donations of cash for the bulbs from the Gudgeon family and shrubs from Habitat Acquisition Trust.

Quadra principal Marilyn Campbell says projects such as this are important because they give the students a stronger connection to the greater community.

She’s also a big fan of getting the kids outside.

“The classroom does not stop at the four walls,” she says. “In a community where they don’t get out as much, everything we can do to encourage and enhance that is good.” editor@vicnews.com

“YOU AND THE LAW” SELLER LOSES; HOUSE BUYER GETS DEPOSIT BACK

By Janice Mucalov, LL.B.

These days real estate house and condo deals are often done in a hurry.

Sellers may be given multiple offers, timelines are short and negotiations mostly centre on the price and maybe also the deposit amount. There are also many foreign buyers (with no other B.C. assets) and the market is uncertain.

Paying attention to the deposit is therefore important in case the deal falls through. But often only the deposit amount is negotiated, with no attention paid to the fine print governing the deposit. The contract is typically written up on a printed form, supplied by a real estate agent in the transaction, which both buyer and seller, and their agent(s), rely on.

If you’re the seller, you think that if the buyer doesn’t go through with the purchase, you at least can pocket the deposit, right? After all, isn’t that what a deposit is for? If you’re the buyer, you probably think that, in a rising market, you should get your deposit back. After all, if the seller can re-sell at the same or a higher price, what’s the loss to the seller if you back out?

A 2012 B.C. case considered these arguments. The buyer paid a $100,000 deposit for a Vancouver house then (after a one-time extension of the completion date) refused to complete the purchase. The seller claimed that since the buyer didn’t go through with the purchase, he was entitled to keep the deposit. The buyer countered he should get his deposit back, arguing the seller had to prove he suffered a loss (the seller should only be allowed to keep the deposit if he resold at a lower price).

The purchase contract said this: “… unless the balance of the cash

payment is paid … on or before the Completion Date, the Seller may, at the Seller’s option, terminate this Contract, and, in such event, the amount paid by the Buyer will be absolutely forfeited to the Seller …, on account of damages, without prejudice to the Seller’s other remedies.”

The buyer and seller each pointed to previous cases decided by B.C.’s appeal court that seemed to support their own positions. The court reviewed this law and reconciled these two previous, apparently conflicting cases. In the earlier 1998 case (supporting the seller’s position that he could simply keep the deposit), the contract had similar language, but it also went on to say that the deposit (in addition to being “absolutely forfeited”) was nonrefundable. This meant the seller didn’t have to prove he suffered a loss to be entitled to the deposit.

In the later 2006 case supporting the buyer’s opposite view, the contract didn’t say that the deposit was nonrefundable.

The result in the 2012 case was that the court decided that, because the contract did not say the deposit was non-refundable, the seller could only keep the deposit “on account of damages” – meaning the seller had to prove he actually suffered a loss as a result of the buyer walking away. Here, the seller didn’t suffer any damages. He, in fact, ended up selling the property to someone else for a higher purchase price.

Consider consulting your lawyer if the deal for your property purchase or sale goes sideways.

Conference looks at social issues Christ Church Cathedral-hosted event aims to spur action Don Descoteau News staff

Members of the faith community hope to hear from some new voices this week in the fight to improve the lot in life of Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most vulnerable citizens.

The topics of poverty, food insecurity, homelessness and addictions/mental health are being discussed at the Nurturing Healthy Communities conference at Christ Church Cathedral, as well as ideas for taking positive action to help those affected by them.

The objectives for the threeday event are to â&#x20AC;&#x153;cultivate informed empathy, assert the importance of all individuals in community and create strategies for action,â&#x20AC;? said conference co-chair, Rev. Nancy Ford, the cathedralâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newly installed deacon to the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping is that we can continue to build on the work thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already being done,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Ford acknowledged that local churches are often a default provider of certain social services.

But people outside the faith community are beginning to look at things differently, she said, and are seeing that their actions can have a positive impact. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope to engage new community members, not only to come and have a nice time, or to

learn stuff or make new friends, but to come together in a sense of interest and awareness and commitment to action.â&#x20AC;?

Following up on a keynote speech last night by Rev. Alisdair Smith of Christ Church Cathedral in Vancouver, entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Compassion in the 21st Century,â&#x20AC;? todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agenda (Jan. 25) includes a series of workshops.

Well-known leaders in social work, community service, medicine, agriculture, housing, social inclusion and First Nations spirituality will offer insights into the challenges and opportunities encountered by social service providers.

A free public forum to broaden discussion of the conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four main topics happens tonight at 7 p.m.

The speakers include area politicians and Anthony Dancer, Archdeacon and social justice commissioner for the Anglican

Church in New Zealand.

Rupert Downing, executive director of the Community Social Planning Council of Victoria, will facilitate the final plenary session on Saturday morning from 9 a.m. to noon. It is entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;From Knowing and Understanding to Action.â&#x20AC;?

Organizers look forward to an action plan flowing from the event, Ford said, one that creates new relationships in the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about partnerships,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Partnerships are the key to this in so many ways.â&#x20AC;?

People may attend one or all of the events. Cost is $80 for the entire conference, $50 for the Friday and Saturday workshops. For more information visit christchurchcathedral. bc.ca and click on the conference link under Coming Up, or call 250-383-2714. editor@vicnews.com

Pharmacies want expired meds Provincial program aims to protect the environment Return your medications from whence they came.

Literacy starts with fun Activities planned for parents, kids Daniel Palmer News staff

All it takes is a little fun to make your child a better reader.

Beginning Sunday (Jan. 27), the Greater Victoria Public Library will provide that fun with a week of programs to celebrate Family Literacy Day. “Having fun is just such a key part to building a child’s early

literacy skills and for child bonding,” said Tracy Kendrick, children’s librarian.

Parents build literacy skills not just by reading and writing with their children, but by playing and even singing with them.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re a good singer … just making up funny songs together is such a great enriching thing for young children,” Kendrick said.

Programs include button-making for parents and kids, a puppet show by Puppet Booth Productions, and ABC Fun, where

the library provides all the materials for making your very own alphabet book.

“We’re also giving out our family activity card,” Kendrick said.

“It’s kind of like a bingo card.

If families have everything completed by March 10, the child will get a small prize and be entered to win a $60 gift certificate to a local bookstore.”

OUR VIEW

Shifting the cost of drunk driving When B.C. launched Canada’s toughest drinking and driving laws in 2010, not everyone embraced the initiative with open arms.

A year after police were given powers to suspend a licence for 90 days on the spot and impound the vehicle for 30 days, with little recourse for appeal, a judge ruled the laws went too far and violated the Charter of Rights.

Last May, the provincial government eased up on those regulations, slightly, and gave people a better chance to fight what are significant financial penalties for drinking and driving.

The Office of the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles is reviewing 1,200 cases of people caught under the immediate roadside prohibition (IRP) system just prior to the laws being thrown out in 2011.

But for everyone else, the tough rules are the law of the land (at least until another constitutional challenge) – blow a “fail” and you’ll lose your licence for 90 days, your car for 30, be forced to install an ignition interlock system, take a driver education program, and face fines. All told, the fines and fees add up to about $4,040 at minimum.

An IRP appears punitive on the driver, and to a large degree it is. But the crux of the system, besides acting as a deterrent, is that it removes drinking and driving from the criminal justice system.

The courts in B.C. had to deal with thousands fewer drinking and driving cases last year. Instead of those criminal cases gumming up an already calcified court system and costing taxpayer money, the financial burden has been downloaded to the accused drunk driver.

Being criminally prosecuted for drinking and driving certainly comes with financial penalties, the potential for jail time and a criminal record, but due to the overwhelming caseloads in many jurisdictions, there is always a chance that the case could drag out and eventually be thrown out of court due to a lack of a speedy trial.

The IRP process, “immediate” being the key word, provides a summary punishment and puts the onus on the accused drunk driver to appeal the fines and penalties.

The pendulum of law, it seems, has distinctly swung to the side of law and order rather than the assumption of innocence, in terms of drinking and driving. Statistics over the past decade show that drivers in B.C. weren’t getting the message. Perhaps they will now.

Tender loving garden care Volunteer Mark Salter makes arrangements by phone with an irrigation company to look after the Rainbow Kitchen’s garden, situated beside Esquimalt United Church at Admirals Road and Lyall Street. Volunteers moved the entire garden from the charity kitchen’s former home in Vic West to the Esquimalt site, where it provides herbs and fresh vegetables for meals. A work party gets together once a month to clean and maintain the garden for the new season.

Lower urban speed limits accrue many benefits Re: Victoria revs up speed limit debate (vicnews.com, Jan. 18) Bravo to Victoria for taking the lead on this important initiative. While there have been many negative comments on lowering speeds, the public doesn’t seem to be aware of the benefits to be had.

Rather than increasing congestion, studies done in areas where the speed has been lowered to 30 km/h have shown an increase in the efficiency of traffic flow.

More vehicles can get through a given area in the same amount of time.

The average individual urban journey takes no more than one minute longer. That is because most of one’s time in an urban setting is spent waiting at intersections.

A lower speed has a dramatic effect on fatalities, with the probability of death

dropping from roughly 80 per cent if struck at 50 km/h to in the range of 10 per cent at 30 km/h.

There are many other benefits: lower traffic noise, lower pollution, lower vehicle maintenance costs, less stress.

And it encourages more people to use the streets for walking and cycling, which in turn means more walk-by traffic for local businesses. It’s a win-win for everyone.

Bob Etheridge Saanich

Lack of enforcement weakens speed zone idea The notion of reducing street speed limits to 40 km/h is a feel-good, do-nothing gesture, because there is no policing of dangerous drivers who ignore playground

and school zone signs.

Esquimalt already tried that on Craigflower Road, with the result that safe drivers are even more likely to be tailgated by jerks despite the presence of speed monitoring signs.

Some drivers are simply careless – and have tunnel vision. They need to be re-educated, which police presence would do.

Many, however, deliberately drive over the speed limit, deliberately tailgate, and deliberately pass in congested areas – even speeding faster through playground zones to do that. If challenged they threaten the citizen. The only thing they’ll respect is police in their face repeatedly, preferably taking some off the road.

Didn’t the experiment on the Malahat prove that continual police presence

dramatically reduces accident rates?

Most drivers do not live on the Malahat, a great proportion of them live in Saanich, Victoria, and other fiefdoms in the Greater Victoria area. They need to be re-educated where they live.

More police presence on the street would have general effects of spotting drunk drivers and being able to respond much more quickly to emergencies and reports of dangerous drivers, as police would be near intersections and in neighbourhoods. It would also get more novice drivers on the right track early.

Will voters insist that politicians and police do something substantive to protect people by nailing the jerks who endanger good people?

Keith Sketchley Saanich

Readers respond: Film tax credits, seniors’ bus fare More to film tax credits than meets the eye Re: Movie business feeling the squeeze (News, Jan. 18) The film industry of B.C. seems to think that becase Ontario and Quebec receive better tax credits, they are losing ground in the struggle to entice production companies to come here to our province for filming.

This could very well be true, but let them remember that both Ontario and Quebec have higher provincial taxes than those in B.C. Ontario’s finances are in a

shambles and Premier Dalton McGinty is quitting, and Quebec is no glowing example for the way a province should be run.

Perhaps giving out generous tax credits has a lot to do with the financial situation in both provinces.

Bob Beckwith Victoria

Bus fare increase will deter travel to town My husband and I usually take the bus downtown three or four times a month to wander around,

have a snack and do a little shopping.

However, with the fare increase for seniors we will no longer be doing this.

The monthly ticket is of no benefit to the casual traveller.

I am sure many seniors will feel the same and cease using the service. As a result, downtown shops will miss this senior spending.

We visited Scotland last year where resident seniors can travel by bus to shop locally or anywhere in the country without charge and act like tourists.

Restaurants, shops, hotels any many other types of business countrywide benefit from this economic stimulus.

Could something like this be tried here?

Couvelier building to rise from ashes of greenhouse Horticulture Centre to break ground today on pavilion Edward Hill News staff

A greenhouse destroyed in a fire two years ago at the Horticulture Centre of the Pacific will rise again as the centerpiece Mel Couvelier Pavilion.

The single-storey, $1.5-million building is set to break ground today after members of the nonprofit garden and horticulture college voted to finance construction with a mortgage.

The pavilion is expected to give the 105-acre garden a constant stream of revenue through rentals from weddings and corporate meetings, fed from the nearby Vancouver Island Technology Park.

“This is intended to be the core income centre for the society,” said Roger Charles, executive director of the HCP. “After two years of sweating and hair pulling, we are thrilled to be in this position.”

What is now a large, fenced concrete slab held a large greenhouse, which burned in a spectacular fire on Feb. 16, 2011.

Called the Glass House and donated by Saanich 33 years ago, it acted as a picturesque,

Edward Hill/News staff

Roger Charles, executive director of the Horticulture Centre of the Pacific, stands in front of where the centre’s greehouse building burned down nearly two years ago, and where the Mel Couvelier Pavilion will be built this year. Members of the non-profit society voted to take on a mortgage to help finance construction. although imperfect wedding venue.

“It wasn’t useful in the winter or the heat of the summer. You either baked or froze,” Charles remarked. “This (new) building will provide a very nice location for weddings, corporate meetings and social events.”

2013 Residential Branch Chipping The Residential Branch Chipping program provides Victoria residents with an opportunity to remove tree branches from their yard.

Residential branch chipping starts at 7 a.m. on Tuesday, February 12.

Residents are asked to have their tree branches on the boulevard for chipping by this date and time.

At what Charles reckoned was the best-attended society meeting in the HCP’s 35-year history, members overwhelmingly supported a plan to borrow $750,000 from VanCity.

The remainder of the construction budget comes from insurance, a $250,000 loan from Saan-

ich, and more than $300,000 from fundraising.

The timber-framed pavilion is planned as 3,000 square feet, with large south-facing windows and a “green” roof. Construction is expected to last eight months.

The HCP’s business case estimates the pavilion will bring

in about $225,000 per year and leave the society with a healthy income, while paying down the mortgage and repaying Saanich.

“We tend to be booked all summer for weddings. That was an important revenue source before the fire,” Charles noted.

“It’s necessary to replace what was lost with a long-term, reliable income stream. (The pavilion) would be a substantial improvement. With a 365-day operation, we’d get revenue even over Christmas.”

HCP is dedicating the pavilion to former Saanich mayor Mel Couvelier, who was instrumental in establishing the HCP society in 1979, securing Crown land, and then building the gardens in the 1980s.

Couvelier worked to fundraise for the pavilion project up to the week before his death on May 30, 2011.

Although it tends to be overshadowed by the high-profile Butchart Gardens, HCP draws visitors to 10 acres of scenic demonstration gardens and 95 acres of native woodland, is supported by more than a hundred volunteers, and houses an accredited horticultural college.

“We wouldn’t have the centre without (Couvelier),” Charles said. “In honour of his enormous contribution, naming it after him is the right thing for us to do.” editor@saanichnews.com

“We recognize that there is a need for this service in the community,” he said.

“There’s been a huge gap, but we’re also sensitive to the concerns of the neighbours. But we are not taking a position at this point, other than being the facilitators of dialogue.”

Representatives from the health authority, the City of Victoria, Victoria Police Department, Victoria Cool Aid Society and AIDS Vancouver Island will be in attendance.

Sprackett said VIHA hasn’t yet given precise details of the new services, including whether or not it’s looking at expanding the hours of operation.

“They’ve been delivering some of these services for a number of years, but people need to know what that looks like.”

New services will also include art therapy, links to housing and primary care on evening and weekends.

DePape called Sukkie Sandhu, a consultant with parental sleep counselling franchise Sleep Sense, who worked with the DePape family to form a sleep plan.

DePape is among the growing number of parents in Greater Victoria who have sought the help of professionals to help guide the process which DePape admits she assumed would come naturally to her baby.

Almost immediately after meeting with Sandhu, a registered clinical counsellor, DePape said

Though DePape and Sandhu both pitch Sleep Sense as though it’s a miracle solution, it’s not without controversy, as it usually requires parents to tolerate some amount of crying from a child – however long or short

the parents decide they’re comfortable with – in an effort to remove associations or props, such as rocking or nursing to sleep, co-sleeping or sleeping with a soother. (Sandhu makes clear a disassociation between breastfeeding for nourishment and breastfeeding as a soothing method for sleep, in full support of the former.)

Parenting

Moms just need a little escape…

It was a dark and stormy night.

Alone with my young children for the evening, I anticipated the challenge of combining nutrientQ SUSAN LUNDY rich food from the FEATURE WRITER fridge into something that each child would consume – likely some cheesy noodle mush, although I personally craved a prawn and avocado sandwich – followed by the toothbrushing, face-washing, you-will-go-pee battle and the re-reading of the Bobbsey Twins (why did I ever introduce the book series of my childhood?) who, apparently, always ate the broccoli provided by the “slim and pretty Mrs. Bobbsey.”

Ordering in pizza, I decided, would solve the Årst problem. So there I was, huddled by the woodstove in a baggy, tomato-stained shirt with matching, tomato splattered sweats when the doorbell sounded. I opened the door and took a deep breath hoping to smell Completely Cooked Dinner. But the fuzzy-haired, middle-aged woman standing on the doorstep was not holding pizza boxes.

“Pizza?” I started to say before realizing my mistake. Oh no, this wasn’t pizza sales, this was souls’ purchasing. “I really haven’t time for this right now. Let me show you the fastest route to the neighbours – the ones who have loud parties.”

You will go directly to the bathroom where you will run a hot bubble bath and climb in.”

I eyed her suspiciously. “I’m not in the market for a vacuum cleaner.”

“Indeed,” she answered.

As I lounged in the tub, sipping bubbly and nibbling cheesecake, I strained to overhear the kitchen activity. Apparently, the pizza had been cancelled and my children were happily eating organic brown rice, three vegetables and a tofu casserole.

They adamantly refused desert, choosing instead to help each other clean their rooms while the mystery woman vacuumed, scrubbed and folded laundry.

I added as much hot water as I could stand and sank into the bubbles. I heard my daughters in the bedroom, gently arguing about story time books.

VICTORIA NEWS - Friday, January 25, 2013

Victoria Family The fight to say goodnight… continued from 13 amount of crying, but what we try to do is make it less stressful for parents and babies.

Parents can be a coach throughout the whole process and be in the room with their baby, supporting them, guiding them,” said Sandhu.

“Sleep is quite undervalued in society in general. It needs to be the opposite. Sleep is almost as important as any other thing we provide our child with. We spend so much time feeding and nurturing and bonding, but our babies need to learn to sleep well for their development.”

Brenda Kovitz, owner of Tumblebums Play Centre and Toy Shop in Langford, launched sleep consultation service Tumblebum Solutions, after gaining online certiÅcation via the Family Sleep Institute. Kovitz now offers sleep seminars through her West Shore business of the Esquimalt Recreation Centre and privately.

The pivotal element of Kovitz’ teachings: develop a consistent routine and stick to it.

About half of the parents who visit Kovitz allow crying-it-out for a lengthy period of time in the initial establishment of the child’s sleep routine.

“I believe in doing what parents are comfortable with and I will support them,” Kovitz said, adding that crying-it-out often lasts over an hour on the Årst night and decreases rapidly after that.

For DePape, the transformation took three days.

Kovitz speaks openly of her methods, while Sandhu remains more hesitant to discuss crying-it-out, a result of the stigma which remains associated with the method.

Its proponents downplay the time a baby spends struggling with self-soothing at the

onset of a program, and opponents cite studies of negative psychological effects caused by leaving a child to cry.

“There’s controversy because a lot of what people are quoting is not accurate research,” Kovitz said. “They’ll often talk about children who are left to cry at orphanages, who are also not held at any other time in the day, sort of a 24-hour abandonment. Children who are in a stable, loving home for a short period of time to do the training: totally safe.”

DePape had bought books such as The No-Cry Sleep Solution, but her efforts fell Æat.

She set her time as Åve minutes of solocrying for Connor before she’d visit Connor with a hug or a little stint in the rocking chair.

“Everyone should be loving and attached to their children and I so support that, but when we talk about attachment parenting and say let’s listen to the emotional needs of the child, what’s being ignored is … sometimes our babies are crying because they actually need to go to sleep.”

The belief that a person’s Årst year as a parent has to be sleep-deprived is a myth, she added.

“If you don’t have a good sleeping baby then you can have a poor sleeping toddler and then a poor sleeping child, which leads into poor sleeping habits throughout life,” Sandhu said.

“The new normal is: ‘Night night and see you in the morning,’” DePape said. “He just sort of rolls over, snuggles down and goes to sleep.”

And he wakes up 11 or 12 hours later nnorth@saanichnews.com O

This Family’s Life

Q&A

Kerri Morash is a full-time mother of two-and-a-half-year-old Kora. She enjoys taking Kora swimming to music classes and play dates. She feels the best joy in being a mom is being able to grow and influence her daughter to be a person who loves all of life. In addition she works part-time as an RN at the Royal Jubilee Hospital on a mood disorders in-patient unit. When spare time is available she is rejuvenated by walks by the water, swimming, and girls nights out, or spa weekends with friends.

Q A

How do you find time for “you,” in addition to your role as “mom”?

Without grandparents in town, it makes it pretty challenging, but my husband and I look at our daily/weekly schedules and find a brief hour here and there (before my husband leaves for work and maybe a Saturday morning when my daughter has a ‘daddy date’. I use this time to sit and have a quiet time with a hot beverage, or go swimming.

Q A

What are you reading right now?

What do you read with your daughter?

I’m finishing The Hunger Games trilogy when I have breaks at work, and in the mornings if I have a chance One of my favourite books to read to Kora since she was born is called, “On the Night You Were Born” by Nancy Tillman.

Q

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

A

We play hide and go seek. It started when Kora was just a ‘babe in arms’ and she loved being surprised by someone popping out and smiling at her. Now our game has evolved for Kora to seek out the hider by saying “Are you over here? Nope.

Are you over here? Nope .... I see you, now I’m gonna tickle you!!” It’s the best fun, and with the evenings being so dark we have incorporated glow sticks into the game too!

Q A

What is the part of your day you most look forward to?

That is actually a difficult question, there are so many parts of my day I enjoy with my daughter: getting my daughter dressed, going to friends houses, nap time and bedtime routine. However, one hour out of the week I have enjoyed attending a fitness class at the local community centre. The first couple of weeks I needed to take Kora with me, the instructor set her up with some toys and a scooter, I was able to get a work out in while Kora did her own thing and at times would participate in some of the exercises.

I loved that she is able to see me exercise, have fun and try to do what momma does in hopes for her to enjoy being active too. O

Urbanite a Victoria art gallery delight Daniel Palmer News staff

Contemporary art can instill fear in a person – fear of exposing one’s ignorance to a genre so often cited and yet so hard to encapsulate.

The chasm between observation and comprehension of these works seems daunting, too wide to venture across with frail curiosity alone.

But on Feb. 1, the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria aims to allay this fear as it morphs into an evening cocktail lounge and performance venue and offers a crash course in its latest contemporary exhibition.

The gallery’s quarterly social event, Urbanite, was realized seven years ago as a way to attract a more eclectic audience and offer accessible tours in a social environment, said Tanya Muir, educator of public programs.

“It was a building process, but the last few years have been a booming success,” she said.

Urbanite features live music as well as interdisciplinary performance groups from theatre, dance

and performance to hypnotize its audience with an organic display.

“It’s very playful work,” said Jaimie Robson, who established the collaborative studio in 2009 with Maya Ersan.

“There’s something magic that happens when people take the light in their own hand and start moving it. It’s unexpected.”

Robson led a workshop at the art gallery this week to give participants a chance to contribute to her theme of rapid urban change and create pieces of their own.

To compliment the opening on shadow puppetry, animation Works by Daniel Barrow, Ali-

son Norlen and Ed Pien push the boundaries of their genre by expanding scale and translating the drawings into three-dimensional space.

Barrow’s use of overhead projectors to adapt narratives is particularly hypnotizing and haunting, while Norlen compliments her well-known monumental drawings with wire sculptures of her sketched drawings.

Pien’s technique includes, among other works, the surgical removal of tiny shavings of paper from a single sheet, revealing a delicate web of design with trenchant detail.

At Urbanite, Stanbridge will walk groups through the exhibition and demystify the themes behind each piece.

To purchase tickets to Urbanite or find out more about Traces, visit aggv.ca.

“We strongly encourage people to buy tickets to Urbanite in advance, because we are starting to develop line-ups outside,” Muir said. “But we never want to turn anyone away from the art gallery.” dpalmer@vicnews.com

Vitamin C and Lysine powder help prevent heart attacks

by W. Gifford-Jones M.D. Why is heart attack the number one killer in this country? Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack.

History shows mankind is not kind to new ideas. In 1847 one maternity patient in six who entered the University Hospital in Vienna left in a coffin. Why? Because esteemed professors ridiculed Dr. Semmelweiss, a colleague, for showing that by simply washing hands after doing an autopsy, deaths were prevented.

Years later Dr. Linus Pauling, two-time Noble Prize winner, is ignored for reporting that large amounts of vitamin C and lysine are needed to prevent coronary attacks. Twenty-five years ago Pauling reported that animals make vitamin C and humans do not. That’s why sailors died of scurvy during long sea voyages, but the ship’s cat survived.

Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Pauling claimed it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack.

Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right.

Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death.

Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proved that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries.

So what has happened to these monumental findings?

Bush, like Semmelweiss, has been ridiculed by cardiologists.

One has to ask whether cardiologists, by ignoring his results, are condemning thousands of people to an early coronary heart attack.

NEWS

doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal, for several reasons.

I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking Lipitor. I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications. I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens irrefutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent.

But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus is available at health food stores. Its sales will help support The GiffordJones Professorship in Pain Control and Palliative Care at the University of Toronto.

The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day. If high doses cause diarrhea, the dose should be decreased.

This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. This is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors.

Together the two groups will end the concert with the song Prayer and Temple Dance from Norweigian Edward Grieg’s opera Olav Trygvason.

The show takes place in Sidney on Sunday, Feb. 3 at St. Elizabeth’s Church (10030 Third St.) Tickets are $15 for adults and $8 for students and are available at Tanner’s Books, through choir members or at the door.

Most of today’s, cardiologists are impervious to persuasion.

They continue to believe that cholesterol-lowering drugs are the be-all-and-end-all to prevent heart attack. They’ve been brain-washed by millions of dollars worth of promotion by pharmaceutical companies. It reminds me of the saying that cautions “It’s not what you don’t know what gets you into trouble, it’s the things you know for sure that ain’t so!”

It’s time for cardiologists to have an open mind and stop ignoring this research. As for me – I bet my life on it!

Fourteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high

Due to Gogolev’s recent splurge in points, 12 in his past four games, that spot might be hard to come by. This week Gogolev was named the CHL player of the week. Steven Hodges could have won that award, connecting for eight goals through some magic chemistry with Gogolev.

Ben Walker is on the verge of returning to the Victoria Royals.

As of Tuesday the concussed forward’s symptoms had diminshed. If they held off through to today (Jan. 25), then he’ll likely be back with the team for tonight’s and tomorrow’s games versus the Vancouver Giants at Save-OnFoods Memorial Centre.

Walker hasn’t played with the Royals since Jan. 2 when he suffered the injury against the Kelowna Rockets.

In that time the Royals have turned their fortunes around and are 6-3, chasing down fourth spot in the Western Conference.

“The first couple games I was out (in early January) there was a couple of bad losses, so I was a little scared.

Then they started winning so I though oh, well, they don’t need me to win. But it’s nice to see them playing really well and hopefully they keep it up.”

Even with the Royals current five-game winning streak, no one has climbed closer to Walker’s team leading plusminus of plus-20. The next closest are captain Tyler Stahl and assistant captain Brandon Magee at plus-seven.

“If I end the night in the minus column, even if I get three points, it’s a bad night for me. If I get scored on it just kills me. I want to get five back.”

Last year Walker ended up a plus-2 despite the team’s struggles.

He was the only player to finish with a positive, with some as low as -40.

Saturday (Jan. 26) is the annual Pink in the Rink fundraiser for breast cancer.

It won’t be the first time Brandon Magee wears a pink Royals sweater, having taken part in last year’s event, but it means a lot more to him this time.

“My aunt was diagnosed in the summer, and she’s been going through it, so it touches home and you realize how serious it is,” Magee said.

“It should be a fun night, hopefully we raise a lot through jersey auctions.”

The Giants were last here on Dec. 5 and the results was one-sided, a 7-2 win for the visitors.

“They came in and beat us pretty good, so it would be great to redeem ourselves this weekend and make it a seven-game win streak,” Magee said. sports@vicnews.com

Fourteen year olds Tristan Alexander and Brennan Jolley, a pair of judokas from the Victoria Judo Club, each won gold medals at the Saskatchewan Open Judo Tournament last weekend.

The tournament was part of the Team B.C. 2015 Canada Winter Games Development Program. Alexander and Jolley also qualified to compete in Toronto at the Ontario Open in May. Alexander (90-plus kilograms) and Jolley (60kgs) each fight in the U18 category, with Alexander winning his three matches in less than 45 seconds.

Vikes host Canada West swim meet Meet has different meanings for UVic Vikes swimmers Travis Paterson News staff

After six kilometres of lengths, Rachael Newman and Ian Mattock were among the few remaining UVic Vikes still swimming at Saanich Commonwealth Place on Tuesday.

Newman and Mattock have already qualified for the CIS swimming championships in Calgary next month. So instead of tapering down this week, they’re training right on through as though the Canada West swimming championships weren’t at Commonwealth Place today (Jan. 25), tomorrow and Sunday.

“It’s exciting to have the (Canada West) meet at home, with friends and family here. But I’ll probably be a bit too tired to be on the podium,” Mattock said.

Swimmers this weekend will be of two different intentions.

“It’s an odd mix in that some of the swimmers will go super fast, some have already qualified will be resting, so to speak,” Mattock said.

Some Vikes, such as fifth-year Eleanora Dalling and

fourth-year Allison Wood, still need to qualify for the CIS championships. To help their chances, they tapered down from 3.5kms of laps on Tuesday, to a rest day on Wednesday, then 2.5km on Thursday.

Mattock, a fourth-year from Sidney and Newman, a rookie out of Oak Bay, are part of the other group. They’ll compete to their best ability this weekend and use the meet as a barometer, knowing they want to peak for Calgary for the CIS national championships in February.

It won’t be the first time this season that Newman swims as hard as she can without worry of hitting any targets. The former Pacific Coast Swimming club member was named the Vikes Athlete of the Month for November for her record-breaking attempt to make the finals in every event of a two-day meet hosted by Simon Fraser University, Nov. 3 and 4.

Known as the rookie challenge, the unofficial event is part of the SFU meet, and challenges rookies to swim in every single event, which Newman nearly did. She hit 32 of a possible 34 races, heats, finals and relays.

“I didn’t win anything but, I have to admit, it might be because I was a bit worn out,” Newman laughed.

Session one begins at Commonwealth today at 5 p.m.

The last session begins Sunday at 2 p.m. sports@vicnews.com

Slumping Braves still hope to contend Saanich Braves have one month to right the ship Travis Paterson News staff

As coach Brad Cook seeks the answers to whatever is ailing the Saanich Braves during its recent slump, he can point to a number of facts, but none are excuses, he says.

Since the clock turned over on Jan. 1, the Braves (26-11-3) have won twice in eight tries, Tuesday’s 3-2 overtime loss to the Peninsula Panthers included.

“Call them excuses, call it what you want, there’s a combination of things,” Cook said. “The injury bug has been out of this world for us this season. Not much was said about it because we found a way to win. Well, it’s caught up to us.”

There are other symp-

toms, but it’s mostly injuries.

“I think the most telling tale is how many affiliates we’ve used. I figure we’ve used 62 afilliate call-ups right now, with Campbell River having used the next most in the league at 28.

“We haven’t had our full lineup for two games backto-back since October.”

It’s enough to leave the coach sighing. This is supposed to be his team’s year.

It’s loaded with talent, led by a core of 20-year-olds, captain Ty Jones and linemate Josh Gray up front, and VIJHL veteran Tanner McGaw in net.

Through the first half of the season the Braves showed its hands to the league, and to the province, winning 22 of its first 28 games. Only the robotichockey-machine that is the Victoria Cougars (currently 36-1-2) held a better winning percentage.

Then came the January blues. It’s been a hard fall

Alas, there is a light at the end of the tunnel with three key defenceman coming back from long-term injury.

Brandon Parmar returned Tuesday against the Panthers, the same team which gave him a broken cheek on Nov. 29. Jordan Groenhyde and Tom Dakers are also back.

“The good news is we have about a month left, eight games, to get on a roll before playoffs,” Cook said. sports@vicnews.com

General Manager Norm Kelly has worked with Cook to make trades and spent money to do it, all for a shot at the VIJHL title. Last week the team became the third club in the VIJHL to get its own dressing room, with the ribbon cut by Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard on Tuesday.

But it hasn’t worked, yet.

Despite adding Max Mois and Cole Golka, the top scorers from their respective teams, the Westshore Wolves and Peninsula Panthers, they’ve taken time to gel. Both have fallen off their scoring paces since joining the Braves, though Mois seems to have clicked on the top line with Jones and Gray.

Then there’s been the defence by committee.

Andrew White moved from forward to D before being traded away. Versatile forward Shawn McBride has taken several spins on defence. So has a merry-goround of affiliates.

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved mother and wife after a lengthy illness.

Bonnie was born in Victoria to Ruby and Allan Merriman. Throughout her married life she made a home in many cities throughout Canada and overseas in Lahr, Germany. She lived the past thirty-one years in Chilliwack.

Bonnieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love of children lead her to operate a daycare. She also had a passion for helping seniors and knitting baby sweaters for the hospital.

Bonnie is survived by her loving husband of fourty-six years, Carl, and her four children Lori (Andrew), Belinda (Roy), Carly (Mark), and Tom, her mother Ruby, and sisters Heather and Kathy, five grandchildren and four great grandchildren. She was predeceased by her father.

We are very grateful for the many wonderful caregivers at Cascade Lodge. While her time there was short, their impact was great.

A private family service of remembrance will take place in Chilliwack in February. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the British Columbia Lung Association.

Planter a bad place for butts

POLICE NEWS IN BRIEF

Regional drug ring busted VicPD officers broke up a Sooke to Sidney dial-a-dope operation last week, attributing the success to the newly created crime reduction unit.

Officers seized a handgun, $25,000 in cash and about $20,000 worth of crack cocaine and heroin at two residences in the 1400-block of Stadacona Ave. Police will be making an appli-

cation to seize the residences under the Civil Forfeiture Act. A 34-year-old Victoria man and a 31-year-old Vancouver woman both face charges in the investigation. They were released on a promise to appear in court at a later date.

A 28-year-old Victoria woman was also arrested at the time, but her ties to the operation are still under investigation. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Fire department officials say a lit cigarette butt in a planter caused a fire at a home in the 700-block of Wilson St. in Vic West early Saturday.

A crew arrived at the house at about 2 a.m. to find the back porch on fire. After starting in the planter, the fire spread up the outside walls at the rear of the house and towards the attic.

Residents of the home, none of whom were injured, helped keep the fire from spreading by using a garden hose and buckets of water. Firefighters managed to knock the fire down and prevent it from going into the attic.

Damage caused by the fire was estimated at $20,000.

Afterwards, fire officials described how butting out cig-

The University of Victoria’s next Harvey Stevenson Southam lecturer in journalism and non-fiction is JoAnn Roberts, host of All Points West on CBC Radio Victoria radio.

The topic of her free discussion next Wednesday (Jan. 30) is entitled “Public Broadcasting and the Public Good: Making the case for the CBC.”

arettes in planters can be an unsafe practice.

“Due to the large amount of peat moss often found in planter soil, the cigarette butts may not extinguish, and instead cause the peat to smolder and then ignite,” a department statement read. “Peat moss can smoulder for long periods of time.” editor@vicnews.com

Roberts will talk about the importance of public broadcasting and her concern that the federal government will underfund the CBC, undermining its ability to do the kind of journalism to which the public is accustomed.

The lecture gets underway at 7:30 p.m. in Room A240 of the Human and Social Development Building.

Original owner and builder of Pomona’s Garey High drag race car Royce Hunt is back in the driver’s seat at last year’s Hot Rod Reunion at the Bakersfield, California drag strip

Hot rodder Steve Wright gets emotional when he talks about buying a derelict 1940 Studebaker coupe drag race car and tracing its history back to a Los Angeles-area high ALYN EDWARDS school shop class. His CLASSIC interest in the car RIDES started as a thread on the Hokey-Ass Message Board known by all hot rodders as ‘the HAMB’.

Steve, who lives in Surrey, had sold his 1955 Chevrolet drag racer and was looking for a historic 1940s gasser.

Gasser is a term used in the early days of drag racing to describe an old stripped down coupe with a huge motor with a straight axle front end for the least amount of weight and the most horsepower to travel a quarter mile from a standing start in the shortest time possible.

Someone on the HAMB had posted a photo of the old Studebaker gasser and was looking for its history. Steve engaged online and became obsessed with the very rough old dragster with the engine missing.

Steve had been intrigued with Studebakers from a young age growing up in North Vancouver with a bulletnose 1950 model as the family car. He had owned several 1953 models but he couldn’t get the mystery of the 1940 Studebaker coupe drag car out of his mind.

His interest increased when he discovered the car was less than an hour south in Washington State. The owner didn’t know any history on the car, having purchased it several years before in Southern California.

He had been told by the brother of the former owner, who had passed away, that the car had once displayed the name Garey High School and may have been raced at Irwindale, east of Los Angeles. He had removed some of the mottled paint to discover gold leaf lettered Advance Speed & Marine but

Owner Steve Wright left the exterior of his historic Studebaker drag race car in its original condition while doing a complete mechanical restoration.

had hit the wall in learning more about the car after three years and was losing interest.

Steve bought the old drag race car with the determination that he would uncover its history. That would be a challenge to the most astute detective. He started with what he knew.

He contacted the owner of the speed shop who said his company had gone out of business in 1975 and he didn’t know anything about the car.

Then he travelled to Los Angeles to visit Garey High School in Pomona for direct inquiries. No one there knew anything about the race car.

He pored through old school yearbooks without success. In the 1966 issue, he discovered the auto mechanics shop teacher had been Royce Hunt. But he had retired years before and no one knew his whereabouts.

When inquiries with a photo of the old car on the Garey High School alumni web site came up empty, he posted a request for information on a

nearby high school’s alumni website.

After months without a response, someone posted a clue: “I think this is the car that Royce Hunt had at Garey High.”

The man who responded used to work in an auto parts store patronized

by Mr. Hunt when he was an auto mechanics instructor. An online search yielded a phone number in Pomona and Steve would finally learn the history of the old race car.

“I told him I thought I had something that used to belong to him,” Steve says.

“Royce said, ‘Oh my god! I looked for the car for 20 years without success and had no idea what had happened to it.’”

He had purchased the partially built race car from its owner in Long Beach Continued on Pg. B3

1940 Studebaker Continued from Pg. B1

back in 1968. The car became his shop class project and student enthusiasts formed Road Agents Racing. When the car hit the drag strips in Southern California, it was equipped with an experimental 455 cubic inch Oldsmobile ‘elephant’ motor producing an estimated 610 horsepower coupled to a beefy turbo 400 automatic transmission and an ultra-rare W27 aluminum rear end – all donated by Dale Smith and the Oldsmobile factory racing team.

The car was painted red and named Great Balls O’ Fire. The Road Agents became the first National Hot Rod Association sanctioned high school racing team and their car burned up the drag strip travelling the quarter mile in 10.78 seconds at 131 miles per hour. The high point was racing at the 1971 Winternationals held annually at the Pomona drag strip.

When the Garey High’s principal saw a photo of the car in a local newspaper, he ordered that the ‘inappropriate’ name – Great Balls O’ Fire – be taken off the car. The Studebaker A/gas drag racer was subsequently repainted blue with Garey High School lettered on the doors.

Steve and his son Evan visited with Royce Hunt and his wife Vicky in their

Rancho Cucamunga home and developed a strong friendship. Last year, they met at the California Hot Rod Reunion at the drag strip in Bakersfield, California.

Steve had restored the car back to the way it was when it raced, complete with a high-horsepower Oldsmobile engine.

Five original members of the Road Agents racing team turned up as well.

“Royce had tears in his eyes when he sat in the car and fired up the engine. He was 72 years old and cruising in retirement,” Steve says of the time he spent with the car’s builder. “But the reunion with the car and all the great memories it brought back really seemed to give him new purpose and spark.”

Sadly, Royce Hunt passed away in October of 2012 .“I just feel I found a wonderful friend in Royce and he was a shop teacher who really worked hard to find a way to keep kids in school who otherwise may have dropped out. He had a tremendous impact on their lives.”

Steve will keep the car as a tribute to Royce Hunt and his teaching accomplishments. The car has also brought members of the former Road Agents racing team back together. He plans to take the car back to California for another reunion.

This time, he is hoping to get most of the former members of the car club together to celebrate a special time in their lives.

ARTHRITIS

Pain free in 2 weeks!

This is what happened to me personally. After suffering for years I desperately tried everything, drugs, natural products, physiotherapy, acupuncture, magnets and nothing was of any real help. Finally I had relief in 2 weeks by taking shark cartilage that was specially processed to preserve the natural active ingredients. This is the kind we are now promoting. I realized then that there are over 50 million men and women that are battling the same illness and getting treatments that are not working well, otherwise we would not have this ongoing huge health problem. In the last 10 years we have helped tens of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. This is a by-product of the American food industry.

No sharks are caught because of their bones/cartilage. Don’t let activists confuse you. Nick A. Jerch, President We have real EVIDENCE that it works. On our web site you find over 100’s of testimonials with full names and towns. All 100% true. Skeptics may call them. Here are some examples: Doctor suggested knee replacement after all his options failed with drugs and cortisone shots in knee and lower back. I recommend Bell Shark Cartilage to those millions suffering needlessly like I did for 40 #1 years with arthritis in my knees. It's a shame that I was given drugs and injections all these years when a natural medicine could have spared me the endless torture day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON My hip is 95% pain free.

Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA I tried another brand and pain came back.

2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON Cancelled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK. For 32 years I cried barrels of tears.

Was in and out of hospitals costing society tens of thousands of dollars. I have taken many thousands of pills that nearly killed me.

Finally 3 bottles of Bell Shark Cartilage costing less than $100 stopped a lifetime of suffering without side effects. Eleanor Sauson, Shigawake, QC Others write: Can walk again for hours…Climb stairs without hanging on to railing…First time in 15 years can sleep at night…Rheumatoid pain in joints down 90%, same for my sister. Bell relays 100% truthful user’s free speech. No need to make claims. No money is paid for it. No questions asked guarantee.

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, 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

CONTROL WEIGHT = CONTROL BLOOD SUGAR

By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD. Long term weight control without controlling blood sugar is destined to fail. This is why we have an epidemic of obesity. How it works: Stops the “roller coaster” of cravings and appetite to eat foods like sugar and starches that cause high blood glucose levels, which then brings on your pancreas to automatically pump insulin into your blood stream. Subsequently the high level of insulin precipitates low levels of blood glucose and cravings for more sugar and starchy carbohydrates (breads, noodles, crackers, cereals, french fries) which you don’t need and therefore it goes into unwanted fat storage and being overweight. Experts now recognize these basic facts.#40 Bell Blood Sugar Imbalance helps to stop this vicious cycle and puts you in control. Dr. Hammond says this natural product works 10 times better because it reprograms our brain and pancreas to release insulin in a controlled manner. Helpful non-fattening eating suggestions in the #40 box. Fibers and exercise like walking are beneficial and help after you control the underlying basic blood sugar imbalance. Working in a health food store I heard people saying how well #40 works. I tried it myself. Finally a product that controls my blood sugar much better than what anything else we had in the store. Thank you for helping people around the world. Irene M. Urdialez, 43, Brynton Beach, FL My medical indicated pre-diabetic. I took #40. When re-tested readings were fine. This helped my metabolism and my weight is down 25 lbs. I am grateful to the health food store people for their advice. Michael O’Brien, 60, Rutherglen, ON I finally found the right approach to lose weight. I tried for 3 years to lose weight. After starting #40 my blood sugar is stable now. I was able to stop overeating and lost my excess weight. Sara John, 40, Kitchener, ON I was struggling for 15 years with weight gain in spite of diet and exercise. I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic. I will forever be grateful to the store manager that explained to me to take #40 and read suggestions to avoid fattening foods. I lost 70 lbs. My fasting blood sugar is now 92. My 2 hour post meal glucose level is now 92 as well. My new shape raised my self-esteem and gave me immeasurable peace of mind. Karen Maples, 55, Clarksville, TN Diabetic eliminated high blood sugar levels with #40. My readings were 140 to 200 and are now 99 to 122 range where I want it to be. Before I bought about 10 different supplement that were more expensive and didn’t work as well. I also lost some weight. A great improvement in my health and daily living.

2013 Ford C-MAX Hybrid

The 2013 Ford C-MAX Hybrid SE in Ingot Silver Metallic with Charcoal Black cloth interior. Aimed as a domestic hybrid rival squarely at the Toyota Prius lineup, Ford boasts better fuel economy with the C-MAX Hybrid.

“So, finished with the fancy schmancy cars?”

A friend made the comment after spotting the familiar Ford badge in ROB BEINTEMA my parking spot METROLAND MEDIA instead of the CARGUIDE upscale logos MAGAZINE of the Teutonic testers that had recently been parked there.

“Oh, it’s fancy enough,” I replied.

Maybe not as headscratchingly complex as the over-engineered German vehicles I had just finished with, but the 2013 Ford C-MAX Hybrid, despite its diminutive dimensions and rather plain-Jane wrappings, has been loaded with enough electronics and technology to make things interesting indeed.

The C-MAX’s origins are simple enough. It was a Eurodesigned five-passenger, frontwheel-drive vehicle, powered by a choice of small gasoline or diesel engines and designed for a variety of international markets.

A second-generation upgrade allowed for a North American version and, rather than have it compete with their new Escape lineup, Ford designated the C-MAX as a hybrid-only product for the U.S. and Canada, aiming it squarely at Toyota’s stable of Prius models. It is usually compared most closely to the similar-sized Prius V. The 2013 C-MAX Hybrid lineup is Ford’s first lineup dedicated solely to hybrid technology. The C-MAX Hybrid harnesses the same mix of gasoline engine power and the torque of a battery-driven electric motor as its Fusion Hybrid cousin.

A 2.0-litre Atkinson-cycle fourcylinder engine makes 141 hp at 6000 rpm and 129 lb/ft of torque at 4000 rpm and it is one of the most advanced and fuel-efficient non-turbocharged four-cylinder powertrains ever offered by Ford.

An 88kW electric motor blends its power into the mix via a CVT transmission for an accumulated net power rating of 188 hp.

A handsome interior layout has less of a “techie look” than Prius but still comes fully loaded with info features including SmartGauge with EcoGuide and SYNC with MyFord Touch allowing multiple ways to control phone, navigation, entertainment and climate functions through voice commands, steering wheel controls, touch screens, knobs and buttons.

The electric motor gets its juice from a 1.4 kWh lithiumion (Li-ion) battery pack that is nearly 30-per-cent smaller and 50per-cent lighter than the nickelmetal-hydride (NiMH) batteries used in earlier hybrid vehicles.

Ford’s next-generation powersplit controller divides the chores, allowing the electric motor and gasoline-powered engine to work together or separately. Under light load conditions, the car can drive in EV (electric only) mode at faster speeds than any other hybrid.

That EV range usually lasts for only a few kilometres before the battery needs to be recharged by the gasoline-engine. Regenerative braking also re-captures more than 95 per cent of the braking energy that would normally be lost. And, the usual hybrid traits of automatic engine shut-off on deceleration and stopping can make city driving even more economical than highway runs.

With hundreds of patents on what they clearly feel is a superior technology, Ford execs have not exactly been shrinking violets when it came to predicting fuel-efficient supremacy over Toyota’s best efforts. Transport Canada rated the C-MAX Hybrid at 4.0/4.1L/100km (city/hwy).

But, in the U.S., even the EPA’s less-optimistic results of 5.0L/100km have been challenged

by Consumer Reports and other testing publications.

It’s one thing to run bench tests in a lab, quite another to put up with urban traffic, changing temperatures and variable road conditions, not to mention quasi-legal highway speeds of between 100-120 km/h. My real Continued on Pg. B5

2013 Ford C-MAX Hybrid

Campus Nissan

funny but innovative hands-free liftgate that opens when your arms are full of groceries and you make a “gentle kicking motion” under the rear bumper.

All these technologies are bundled in a well-finished package that offers a surprising amount of versatile space and sophistication.

The C-MAX Hybrid handles itself well.

It has a wider turning circle than expected from a Euroinspired design but the overall ride is pleasingly smooth and tautly controlled.

The C-MAX Hybrid SE starts at $27,199 and includes AdvanceTrac with RSC (Roll Stability Control) and Curve Control, a six-way manual driver’s seat and fourway manual front-passenger seat, dual-zone automatic A/C, tilt/telescopic leather-wrapped steering wheel with cruise, audio and MyFord controls, 110-volt AC outlet, 17-inch aluminum wheels and a whole lot more.

A step up the trim ladder to the C-MAX Hybrid SEL ($30,199) adds more goodies that can be supplemented with stand-alone options or packages.

And, I didn’t want to confuse the issue, but a plug-in model – the C-MAX Energi ($36,999) – offers extended EV range (32+ km) and even better fuel economy along with all the SEL goodies.

We’ll explore that version some other day.

With the 2013 C-MAX Hybrid lineup, Ford has provided consumers with a new alternative in the hybrid market, blending gasoline power, electric power and a wealth of technologies into a package that offers a new kind of power – as they put it, “the power of choice.”

Ford C-MAX Hybrid At A Glance Body Style: five-door, five passenger MAV. Drive Method: hybrid powertrain with front gasoline engine and electric motor, front wheel drive.

Engine: 2.0-litre 141 hp DOHC Atkinson-cycle fourcylinder engine (141 hp, 129 lb/ft) combined with 88kW electric motor (118 hp, 117 lb/ft) for combined 188 hp.

Cargo Volume: 705 litres (24.9 cubic feet) behind the

second row, 1,538 litres (54.3 cubic feet) behind first row Price: 2013 C-MAX SE $27,199.

As tested $29,979 includes among other taxes and charges - Equipment Group 203A with power liftgate, reverse sensing, rear park aid, ambient lighting, MyFord Touch, Navigation and Sirius XM package ($2,200), Winter Package with power heated mirrors and heated seats ($350) FMI: www.ford.ca

world results were less dramatic, coming in at 7.1L/100km (comb).

The powertrain package won’t disappoint when it comes to performance. Although I drove moderately for the most part, the combined powertrain has more than enough oomph for on-ramps and passing maneuvers.

The C-MAX Hybrid may be a compact but its tall wagon architecture provides upright seating, plenty of headroom and a spacious feel to the cabin.

It provides 705 litres (24.9 cubic feet) of cargo space behind the second row, expanding to 1,538 litres (54.3 cubic feet) with the 60/40 rear seat folded flat.

Up front there is delight in the details of a well-constructed and sophisticated instrument layout. Some of the technology mentioned earlier includes the newest version of SYNC with MyFord Touch with multiple ways to control phone, navigation, entertainment and climate functions through voice commands, steering wheel controls, touch screens and buttons.

But I’d still kill for a tuning knob on the radio.

The SmartGauge with EcoGuide system uses a cluster to the left of the single gauge speedo to display fuel economy and a Brake Coach to hint at ways of improving your regenerative braking style. A cluster to the right shows Ford’s creeping ivy of green leaves, a visual demonstration of your overall driving efficiency.

Road & Travel magazine has named the 2013 Kia Optima as the International Car of the Year (ICOTY) at the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

“The International Car of the Year distinction by Road & Travel magazine adds to the Optima’s strongly stacked trophy case,” said Robert Staffieri, Director of Marketing, Kia Canada Inc. “The world-class designed Optima continues to attract Canadian’s to the Kia brand by providing an alternative in the mid-size segment that presents

an unprecedented combination of design, performance, comfort, technology, fuel efficiency and value.”

Road & Travel magazine gives 10 ICOTY awards to new or existing model year vehicles with significant and/or impressive improvements. These awards are based on the emotional connection between the consumer and vehicle.

The winners are chosen by the ICOTY jury, which consists of nationally renowned automotive journalists from respected publications such as MSN Autos, Car and Driver and Consumer Guide Automotive.

In addition to this prestigious accolade, the Optima has earned a number of awards, including being named the 2012 “Car of the Year” award from Motoring TV as well as the 2012 “Best New Family Car” from Motoring TV.

2014 Mitsubishi small car makes North American debut

Anticipated at the Toronto Auto Show in February, Mitsubishi will showcase a new sub-compact expected to go on sale in the fall.

Canada’s newest subcompact arrives this fall METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM

The all-new Mitsubishi subcompact made its North American debut at the recent Salon International de l’auto de Montreal and is expected to be at the Toronto Auto Show in February.

Canada’s newest subcompact, the five-door Mitsubishi promises classleading fuel economy and value for

money in a youthful, fun-to-drive hatchback.

Wider than Chevrolet Spark, taller than Hyundai Accent and longer than Scion iQ, the new car (known as Mirage in other markets) is based on Mitsubishi Motor Corporation’s successful global small car and will arrive in Canada this fall.

Produced in Thailand and featuring a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder MIVEC engine

InMotion • B9

mated to a five-speed manual or CVT transmission, the new car is expected to achieve superb fuel economy in city, highway and combined driving.

Displayed in striking Green Metallic paint, the subcompact was unveiled

by Mitsubishi Motor Sales of Canada (MMSCAN) president and CEO Shin Fujioka to gathered media in Montreal.

“The new 2014 Mitsubishi is fun, efficient, greener and affordable. We

can’t wait!” he said.

Based on the “Global Small” concept car unveiled by Fujioka 12 months ago, the new entry becomes the fifth model in the MMSCAN line-up.

When it arrives at MMSCAN’s 84 dealerships, it will rank as one of Canada’s most affordable and fuelefficient new cars.

Nissan Resonance concept earns design award METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM

Hours after unveiling the Nissan Resonance, a design concept previewing the direction of future Nissan crossovers, the vehicle was selected as winner of the EyesOn Design Award for Best Concept Vehicle.

The announcement was made at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) 2013 EyesOn Design Awards ceremony held last week.

One of the premier awards in transportation design, the EyesOn

The Nissan Resonance was the winner of the 2013 EyesOn Design Award for best concept at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit.

Design Awards honour the best production and concept cars making their North American or worldwide debut at NAIAS. In their seventh year, the awards recognize the skill and creativity of today’s most gifted designers in the areas of aesthetics and innovation; concept implementation; and functionality and spirit of industrial design.

The Resonance concept was created under the guidance of

Shiro Nakamura. It features an open, airy architecture highlighted by a unique “floating” roof created through the use of the thin, steeply raked A-pillars, large full-length glass panel and flowing D-pillar design.

Inside, the designers imagined what the future of first-class space travel might be: Welcoming yet exclusive and high-tech yet premium.

The resulting “VIP lounge,” with its light, buttery leather and premiumstitched seats, exudes genuine sophistication.
