The changing face of yoga Business and lifestyle merging, as instructors realize industry’s ever-increasing potential Daniel Palmer News staff
Take a deep breath, relax and let it slowly sink in. The yoga business is booming. This weekend, the modern yoga industry descends on Victoria as hundreds of yogis, fitness gurus and health experts roll out their mats for the first annual Victoria Yoga Conference. While physical and mental wellness remain at its core, yoga has blossomed into a lifestyle brand that sells everything from clothing to condos, said Chris Brandt, a marketing expert and yoga instructor. “Particularly in the yoga world, there’s a demonization of making money,” said Brandt, who will Among the highlights present a business workshop for from the Victoria Yoga studio owners and instructors on Conference, Feb. 1 Saturday. to 3 at the Victoria “When you’re talking to a band Conference Centre: or a coffee shop, you talk about 60-plus classes and your brand.

Kiss contest used to make political statement Daniel Palmer News staff
A Valentine’s Day kissing contest meant to promote the downtown core isn’t getting any love from one activist group. Members of The Disruption Collective, who oppose gentrification of the core, submitted several photos to the Downtown Victoria Business Association’s annual Kiss in the City Facebook page this week. The photos showed people kiss-
ing near private property signs, and aimed to draw attention to what the collective calls “the ongoing criminalization of poverty in the city.” “The kissing contest is a vehicle for the DVBA to promote an exclusive, consumer-oriented image of the downtown area,” Collective member Julie Anne Blackpen said. DVBA general manager Ken Kelly said the photos were removed because one contained offensive content, and they didn’t suit a contest meant to “bring out the fun and
excitement on Valentine’s Day.” “We took our prerogative as the sponsors of this contest to remove all three of the submitted photos,” he said. The DVBA has several programs that aim to include the street population, including its Clean Team, which has employed about 50 people since 2005, Kelly added. The Disruption Collective plans to continue submitting photos until the Kiss in the City deadline Feb. 3. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Riding changes not a radical shift: mayors Status quo for Vic West, while Saanich municipal hall grouped with Juan de Fuca Daniel Palmer News staff

Federal ridings are reviewed every 10 years, with a goal of creating roughly 105,000 people in each riding. B.C.’s share of federal seats will increase from 36 to 42. The only controversial change is in the current riding of EsquimaltJuan de Fuca, which MP Randall Garrison worries will cause confusion amongst voters. The proposal calls for the West Shore to be split into two ridings, Cowichan-Malahat-Langford, and Saanich-Juan de Fuca. Garrison said he'll lobby for the latter to be called Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke.
“It would better reflect the geography of the new riding and better indicate who is included and who is not,” Garrison said. Nationwide, federal electoral districts will increase to 338 from 308.

Province moves forward on domestic violence plan Natalie North News staff
The province is asking for feedback into a three-year plan to address domestic violence. “It reflects some of the work we’ve tried to do in our response to domestic violence across policing,” Oak Bay police Chief Mark Fisher said of the online questionnaire launched last week by the Provincial Office of Domestic Violence. “You get a sense of awareness of what is working and what isn’t and the service gaps: coordination around government organizations, community organizations to support victims and witnesses of domestic violence. I was happy to see that.” Fisher chairs the steering committee for the Regional Domestic Violence Unit, formed in July 2010 as a result of the Lee-Park inquest. In 2007, Peter Lee killed his estranged wife, Sunny Park, their young son and his wife’s parents in their Oak Bay home before
taking his own life. While the unit, comprised of police officers, social workers and victims services workers, is able to monitor and advise on any domestic violence files across the CRD, its focus rests on high-risk files. Individual police departments have also come a long way since the inquest and the formation of the unit, Fisher added. “I feel there’s more awareness of risk factors, that our members know what to look for, and ask victims about, in a relationship that are indicators of higher risk. There’s more information out there for officers than there was five or six years ago, prePeter Lee.” Awareness by friends and neighbours, as well as the support programs available, he said, are key components to curbing domestic violence. The questionnaire is available at mcf.gov.bc.ca/podv/questionnaire.asp until Feb. 18. The province hopes to develop a comprehensive plan that will include an aboriginal strategy and will address the needs of immigrant and refugee women and women with disabilities, to be implemented this summer. nnorth@saanichnews.com

The former manager of Sarah McLachlan also has plans to open up to 80 studios across Canada in the coming years. “You see the difference between the yogis who dabble in business versus the business people who get into yoga,” Brandt said. Victoria is no exception to the explosion of yoga studios and classes being offered. If anything,
it’s magnified by the active west coast lifestyle, said conference organizer Carolyne Taylor. “There’s a lot of people doing yoga here, not only in big studios, but in little studios in back yards as well,” she said. “I think often there’s a perception that you can’t build a business out of a passion like this, but you truly can.” Statistics Canada groups yoga instruction into an umbrella category of everything from life-
guard training to Bible schools, making it difficult to assess its economic impact. But statistics compiled by U.S. research firm IBISWorld show that yoga studios alone – not including related merchandise – make up a $7-billion industry that has grown by almost eight per cent in the past five years.

Be wary of auto theft hot spots: VicPD Daniel Palmer News staff
Victoria police are seeking the public’s help to control a spike in thefts from vehicles in areas of Victoria and Esquimalt. Over the last three weeks, vehicle break-ins have increased 31 per cent compared to last
year’s average rate of theft. The break-ins are most prevalent in areas surrounding Esquimalt Road and Lampson Street in Esquimalt, and around Vancouver Street and Rockland Avenue in Victoria, a section of primarily apartment buildings. VicPD is focusing patrols in this area, and is reminding the
public to report theft from vehicles online at www.vicpd.ca or through the non-emergency line at 250-995-7654. The reported thefts are used to map hot spots and can help VicPD dedicate appropriate resources, said Const. Mike Russell. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Sisters the inspiration driving road bike team Olynyk twins fight back-to-back battles with cancer Don Descoteau News staff
On the surface, Stacey Olynyk appears built for road bike distance riding. Young, fit and healthy looking, with a beaming smile that does little to hide her positive attitude, the 25-year-old Victoria woman seems well-prepared to tackle the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer from Vancouver to Seattle in June. It wasn’t always that way. Two years ago, Olynyk and her twin sister, Karen, rushed to Saskatchewan when their father died. While there, Stacey encountered an itchiness all over her body that she couldn’t explain. Tests later showed she had Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a cancer of the lymph tissue that can also present such symptoms as swollen glands, night sweats, fever, loss of appetite and unexplained weight loss. Having put on hold thoughts of riding in the cancer fundraiser and
still grieving the loss of her father, Olynyk put all her energy into battling her own cancer. Karen, her best friend, was there every step of the way. By mid-2012, Stacey was declared cancer free and rekindled her desire to ride with Team Spaghetti Factory, led by former boss and restaurant owner Mike Gonzales. But there was another potential hitch to the plan. Last fall, Karen was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma and embarked on an aggressive treatment regimen of her own. Stacey, in classes at Camosun College, could have put the ride on hold again. After much soulsearching, she sent Gonzalez and her teammates a simple text message: “Let’s do this!” Stacey’s goals are simple: “I want to be able to raise money for cancer research and to help my sister. Riding now creates a whole new perspective on things.” In an Oak Bay Avenue café with her teammates this week, Stacey spoke of her surprise at the outpouring of support since she and Karen took their stories public. Not only has Stacey received well wishes and donations from friends
that just anywhere,” Stacey said. Team rider Jill-Marie Moreau, who currently works at the restaurant along with teammate Charlene Love, said there’s plenty of buzz about the twins and team. “Everyone’s talking about it,” she said. “And everyone is so inspired by Stacey.” That support shocks Olynyk. “I never thought that I could be an inspiration,” she said. She stopped for a moment to remember her own inspiration, pro triathlete Laurel Wassner of New York City, who beat Hodgkin’s and now campaigns with twin sister and fellow triathlete, Rebeccah, for cancer awareness. “So many people have a connection to cancer,” said Love. “They have very personal reasons for wanting to donate.” As of Wednesday, the team had raised more than $6,100 toward its goal of $15,000. A fund to help Karen Olynyk with expenses while she is undergoing treatment has also been set up and is available for donations.

Gonzalez said no one expected to get the type of response the Olynyks and the team have
received. Not only have Victoria media taken the story and run with it, Gonzalez has heard from Spaghetti Factory alumni around the world through the team’s Facebook page and website. “Working at the Spaghetti Factory and the friendships and relationships you build, you don’t get
Shipping company agrees to dumping fine Arnold Lim News staff
A Norwegian shipping company has been slapped with $70,000 in fines after one of its tanker ships dumped fish oil into the Pacific Ocean, 220 kilometres off the west coast of Vancouver Island two years ago. Crown prosecutor John Cliffe and Champion Shipping A/S lawyer David Jones presented a joint submission in provincial court last week agreeing to the $70,000
penalty for the 2010 incident. The vessel Champion was observed by a Transport Canada surveillance aircraft with a hose dangling off its port side, discharging a “brownish-coloured oily liquid” into the ocean. It was later discovered the ship had stopped at a Vancouver port carrying about 3,800 tonnes of crude Mexican fish oil for delivery to the Mainland. After the oil was unloaded and the ship left for China, the ship’s master decided to clean the tank.
In total, 938 litres of a substance partly including the fish oil, was discharged into the ocean, leaving an oil slick estimated to be more than 56 kilometres long. “The fine is consistent with other disposal at sea cases in the country and is a good deterrent,” said Environment Canada enforcement officer Jarrett Brochez. The penalty will be divided into two portions, with $5,000 going to government coffers and $65,000 to environmental research. alim@vicnews.com

Here comes the tax, man The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives released a report this week that says if the province returned to 2000 tax levels it could wipe out the deficit, estimated at $1.47 billion, in one year. That’s something to think about. B.C.’s finances are tight because of several cuts to both personal and business taxes that have thinned the Tough choices budget steadily over the last decade. If the ahead for any province collected the government same amount in tax revenues as it did in 2000, it would have $3.5 billion more in public funds, no deficit, and the ability to invest in enhanced and even new public services. While raising taxes doesn’t sound like a great idea on the surface, there is no evidence that lower taxes have stimulated our economy. In fact, the opposite appears to be true. When the Liberals came in they gutted the public service and got the province out of the red. But the economy was in a different place then. At the time our resources were selling well globally, the U.S. housing market was booming and the economy was generally in good shape. Where our taxes come from has altered, too. We are taking less from corporations and more from families, less from higher income earners and more from the middle class. British Columbians now have to decide what they value more: services or disposable income – or find a balance between the two. Experience says cut taxes to create jobs, but in poor economic times governments are not anxious to take those kind of risks. Whether we have a Liberal, NDP or other government, tough decisions on taxation are going to have to be made. A huge deficit is a job killer. It leads to consumer pessimism and an economic slow down. Raising taxes will not be an easy sell for any government, but we may have no other choice if we want to see services maintained. What do you think?

there was no convincing evidence at all. Since the risk wasn’t deemed zero, RF is lumped in as a possible cancer causing agent. That kind information doesn’t really matter. My email inbox receives a steady stream of press releases from vocal anti-WiFi groups and anti-smart meter groups. I don’t get a lot of pro-WiFi emails. One of our reporters wrote a story a few years ago that examined a family who tried to avoid radio frequencies by living deep in the woods and who refused to own a microwave oven or cordless phone. That unleashed a surprising tirade derision and incredulity toward the family from readers. That led me to believe that there’s a normally quiet population out there that: a) realizes you can’t possibly avoid radio frequencies, even out in the woods; and b) is happy to live with cellphones and wireless technology, and possibly smart meters, without worrying about ill effects. When it comes to wireless smart meters and WiFi, people shouldn’t be forced to have the devices at home if it scares them, although WiFi signals are almost unavoidable in an urban area. And no matter what kind of gross exaggerations are asserted by anti-WiFi groups, people with cellphones or who have smart meters aren’t going to start dropping like flies. Personally I’d be more concerned about getting cancer from the sun. This being Victoria, I don’t have to worry much about that either. – Edward Hill is the editor of the Saanich News. editor@saanichnews.com

Re: Victoria revs up speed limit debate (News, Jan. 25) I would like to provide a clarification for your readers regarding Esquimalt speed limits. The article provides good comment from Esquimalt engineering manager, Will Weiler. He provided some explanation to the speeds posted along Esquimalt Road. The speed limit within the Township is 50 km/h unless otherwise posted. This is consistent with the provincial act. The speed limit is varied from this standard based on schools, playgrounds, parks, road geometry and visibility. The speed limit on the Island Highway in View Royal is 50 km/h. It is then 40 km/h along Craigflower Road in Esquimalt, then 30 km/h along Craigflower in Victoria. The speed limit along our portion of the road was changed from 50 to 40 km/h approximately two years ago. This change was done in the interests of traffic calming and to help provide a safer corridor for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. Discussions were held with VicPD about this change and they were in agreement that it would help. The speed limit along Esquimalt Road within Esquimalt is 40 km/h, whereas within Victoria it is posted as 50 km/h. This was also done in the
same manner and for the same reasons Craigflower Road was changed. Consistency of speed limits within a corridor, across municipal boundaries, to the degree it is possible, would be helpful in understanding the expectations of all using the road. Mayor Barbara Desjardins Township of Esquimalt
Lower urban speeds benefit everyone Re: Victoria revs up speed limit debate Reducing the residential speed limit by 10 km/h is an idea whose time has come. Most vehicle accidents occur in urban centres and the connection between urban vehicle speed and citizen safety is profound. Multiple studies show a significant reduction in the probability of death for pedestrians or cyclists, as the speed of impact is lowered. Kudos to Victoria City Council for pushing for a provincewide urban speed limit of 40 km/h. Communities around the world are lowering urban speeds with huge positive results. Benefits to drivers include fewer and less severe accidents, no impact on travel time, reduced fuel and vehicle operating costs and lower car
insurance rates. Benefits to children, pedestrians, cyclists and neighbourhoods include increased safety, cleaner air and less noise. Plus when streets are safer, more people walk and ride instead of drive, resulting in healthier citizens who need less from the health-care system. Benefits to governments and taxpayers include lower costs associated with signage and carnage. Implementing a general ruling on urban speed is far cheaper than dealing with one road at a time, and reducing accidents means less police time spent on attending crashes and doing the related paperwork. Also, slower urban vehicle speeds reduce greenhouse gas emissions – a huge component of the B.C. government’s commitment to sustainability and action on climate change. There are no downsides to the resolution Victoria city council is planning to put before the Union of B.C. Municipalities this fall. Drivers get where they are going in the same amount of time, and citizens have safer streets and more travel choices. It is a total win-win. Now it’s our job to get behind council to make sure it gets passed. Jenny Farkas Victoria
Readers respond: Liberal attacks, gender equity Liberal attack tactics extend beyond the NDP When the B.C. Liberals resort to negative advertising, it shows just how unfit they are to govern. If they are willing to attack Adrian Dix, they’d be just as willing to attack you. That’s exactly what they have been doing for 12 years; attacking the poor, attacking those who help the poor; attacking women, attacking women’s support groups; attacking public services and the employees who deliver those services. The Liberals have nothing left to offer except bitterness and abuse. Sue Stroud Central Saanich
Gender equity needed in Doyle’s criticisms I was surprised that the usually very precise Auditor General John Doyle made a glaring error when he referred to the B.C. Liberal government, in their handling of his reappointment, as a “Mickey Mouse” operation.
Doyle should have said that the manner in which Christy Clark and her administration dealt with this issue was that of a Minnie Mouse operation. In these politically correct times, it is important to be accurate with such delicate matters as the gender of mice. Gordon Pollard Victoria
Institutions need not be frightening places Re: Mental illness costs sizeable (Our View, Jan. 23) You don’t advocate “a return to the days of institutionalizing people with mental disabilities simply because they can’t function at a high enough level to live on their own.” Is it better to let them be “free” to wander the streets, often unaware of goings-on around them, or perhaps being taken advantage of by others who function on a “slightly higher level?” Institutions do not have to be ugly, frightening and depressing places.

Let the gamers begin. A legion of enthusiasts are set to storm the world of GottaCon, where gamers rule with an iron fist, or a sword, or a magic spell for that matter – almost anything their gaming hearts desire. “There isn’t anything like it in Victoria,” says gamer Adam Ouellet. “If you think of the word game, it is there. You essentially get flooded with all these things and learn new hobbies.” The broad-spectrum gaming convention at Pearkes Arena features everything from miniature games, Lego, role-playing games and board games to video games and card games such as Magic: The Gathering (MTG), a favourite of aficionados including Ouellet, who plans to spend most, if not all of the weekend immersing himself in the marathon event. “I literally brought “(Attendees have) my toothbrush, cleaned up in the the excitement of bathroom and was there the entire time,” spending an entire he said of past Gotta- weekend doing their Con experiences. “I don’t plan on hobby, doing it with leaving. I come pre- existing friends and pared.” Counting sheep reuniting with people gives way to count- from previous years.” ing cards, as he looks – GottaCon co-founder forward to competEvan Hatch ing in MTG tournaments, and spending time with like-minded gamers in an environment where nothing else matters, at least for 50 hours straight. “We always get people who come in and do not sleep and stay the entire time. People like the ability to come and play late,” said event co-founder Evan Hatch. “Hard-core gamers are (usually) night owls. When they are done they are complete zombies.” Hatch, a gamer himself, says creating an event he would enjoy attending is a big reason why fans flock to the event year after year. “(Attendees have) the excitement of spending an entire weekend doing their hobby, doing it with existing friends and reuniting with people from previous years,” the Saanich resident says. “It is an annual getaway.” Their growth is proof, with gamers from as young as four all the way up to more than 65 years old, flock to the event from across the Island and even from the Mainland. Positive word-of-mouth has helped the promotion grow from drawing 600 people in 2009 to an expected 1,800 gamers in 2013, all of which Ouellet experienced firsthand. “The truth of the matter is there is so many products and diversity you will find your scene or find something that interests you,” he said. “The diversity will never leave you alienated.” Whether you bring your computer to hook up to the 120-person local area network (LAN) setup for gamers to duel on Starcraft 2, compete in costume contests, listen to the guest speakers, take in the debut of a live-action fantasy web series which debuts at GottaCon, or even purchase real hand-linked chain mail armour, Ouellet said there is something for every gamer. GottaCon runs 24 hours a day, starting today (Feb. 1) at 5 p.m. and winding up Sunday (Feb. 3) at 7 p.m. at Pearkes Recreation Centre. Day passes are $20 to $28, with weekend passes starting at $50.

Unsolved Buziak murder case reaches the five-year mark Kyle Slavin News staff
Jeff Buziak doesn’t look at Feb. 2 as an anniversary. “I look at it as the murder day, five years hence,” he says, referring to tomorrow marking five years since his 24-year-old daughter, Lindsay, was found stabbed to death in a Saanich home. She was a happy girl with a huge smile. She loved her friends and she loved her family. This is how her dad forever remembers his daughter. “There’s a high level of sadness, and a deep resolve to carry on. I miss my girl,” Buziak says. The murder remains unsolved. The young real estate agent was found dead in a home she was showing at 1702 De Sousa Pl. in Gordon Head. Saanich police say Lindsay was targeted and was lured to the empty luxury home where the murder took place. Tomorrow (Feb. 2), Jeff will hold the third annual Lindsay Buziak Walk for Justice. It begins at 10 a.m at Royal Oak Burial Park, where Lindsay’s ashes are kept. Participants will convoy past the De Sousa Place home, and finish at the Saanich municipal complex on Vernon Avenue. “It’s not a protest, it’s just a quiet walk,” Buziak says. “Yes, I carry a sign, just to say, ‘My daughter was murdered here. She was a good young woman. She was working while she was murdered. That could be you, that could be your sister, that could be your mom going to work.’” While he’s aired his frustrations with police publicly in the past, Buziak believes the officers still on the case are dedicated to solving it. “I keep looking forward. I look forward to the day Saanich announces an arrest’s been made in the Lindsay Buziak murder. That’s all I can look forward to. That day is coming,” he says. Saanich police Insp. Scott Green says the murder remains a priority. “We have investigators assigned that follow up on any and all information we receive. Like many investigations, it is imperative that we receive information from persons who may have knowledge of the crime, directly or indirectly,” he says. In addition to the walk in memory of Lindsay, there will be a night to remember event at Glo Restaurant (104-2940 Jutland Rd.) at 7 p.m. on Saturday. Proceeds from tickets ($10) and a silent auction will be donated to the Cridge Transition House for Women. “I really love my daughter, and I really think it’s wrong what happened to her,” Jeff says. “And I truly believe that that crime perpetrated against her should’ve been solved a long time ago.” kslavin@saanichnews.com

Ballet Victoria, choreographer collaborate for Dance Days Travis Paterson News staff
This week Ballet Victoria will premier a short piece commissioned explicitly for them by renowned Canadian choreographer Joe Laughlin. Dance Victoria, which runs Dance Days, hired Laughlin with the purpose of debuting it during the annual festival and Ballet Victoria couldn’t be happier. “This is our first time having Laughlin do a piece for us so it’s very exciting,” said Ballet Victoria artistic and executive director Paul Destrooper. “It’s hard to bring in choreographers because of the cost, and he’s very well-known.” For Ballet Victoria, Laughlin has spun a winter tale, one which could help break the maddening routine of Victoria’s dark days. It’s a short piece called the White Waltz and it’s about 13 minutes in length, with two distinct parts.
Part one is set to the Blue Danube by Strauss, part two is set to Chopin’s Nocturne. “It captures that early magic of winter, the crisp air, the anticipation of the first snowfall, and the crystallizing of the ice, which comes through the piano,” Destrooper said. White Waltz uses 10 dancers in all and isn’t without humour, which Laughlin is known for. Roller blades will help bring alive the charm of a frozen lake. The dance then moves to a pas de deux (duet) with Destrooper and Andrea Bayne, BV’s principal dancer. White Waltz will run with as part of Laughlin’s 25th anniversary as a choreographer, along with three of his favourites, Harold, Billy, Stan and Jack, Left, and Dusk. Show times are this Wednesday and Thursday (Feb. 6 and 7), 7:30 p.m. at McPherson Playhouse. Opening acts will be performed in

the lobby by Victoria Academy of Ballet students on Wednesday and Victoria School of Contemporary Dance on Thursday. Laughlin, who runs his own company, Joe Ink., visited for two weeks in October to work with the Ballet Victoria dancers for the White Waltz. “It was a unique experience,” said Bayne, a Haligonian now in her fifth year with BV. “It was my first time working with him and although there is always a new vocabulary with every choreographer, his movements are very specific.” Laughlin is known for his gymnast-inspired stylings of contemporary and neoclassical ballet, which is to be expected. His ability to share his vision with the dancers also impressed Bayne. “He has a way of making you realize that the movement is beyond just repeating and comes from a deeper meaning.”
For Bayne it was a story Laughlin put in her head, one for viewers to keep in mind. “During the pas de deux I am stuck in the past, and Destrooper’s character tries to bring me into the future, but I don’t want to come. To present that, I fall on the end of notes, but he tries to bring me up to speed with action at the beginning of the notes.” During its 10-day span the interactive festival offers a series of shows and dozens of free workshops throughout Greater Victoria.

Gypsy jazz night ֝څᅰն
T
wo of Victoria’s hottest jazz musicians, Richard Moody and Quinn Bachand, are teaming up to recreate the magic of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli for an epic night of Gypsy Jazz music. It’s all happening at Hermann’s Jazz Club tonight (Feb. 1) starting at 8 p.m. Joining Moody and Bachand are Joey Smith on bass and Reuben Wier on rhythm guitar and vocals. A veteran of the Canadian music scene and considered by some an underground legend, violinist Moody has delved into almost every style a string player can try. Still in his teens he moved to Montreal and joined the gypsy jazz group Swing Dynamique. Several years later, after a classical music education at the University of Manitoba and the Conservatoire Nationale de Musique in Caen, France, he cofounded the acclaimed folk rock group Acoustically Inclined, garnering a huge national following.

Needless to say, at half Alexander’s size, Jolley does his sparring with other members of the club. Because of their recent success the two are now in the running to compete for Team B.C. at the 2015 Canada Games. Like Jolley, Alexander wants to compete for Team B.C. and will have to decide if he can fit in any other sports. Both won gold at last year’s Edmonton International in the U15 category and gold
at the 2012 B.C. Winter Games in Vernon, although there wasn’t much competition for Alexander. “Not a lot of guys my size are 14,” he said. The two will compete at nationals in Vancouver in early July. Jolley is looking to improve on his fifthplace finish from 2012, while Alexander was third. sports@vicnews.com

To borrow a phrase from the Victoria Royals marketing staff, next Tuesday (Feb. 5) is midweek madness as the Victoria Royals host the Seattle Thunderbirds and Victoria Grizzlies host the Powell River Kings. The Thunderbirds (19-28-3 -1) are eighth in the WHL’s Western conference and visit the sixth place Royals (27-17-1- 3) for two games, Tuesday and Wednesday, 7:05 p.m. at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre. The Grizzlies (29-90-5) host the Kings (17-21-2-6) on Tuesday, 7:15 p.m. at Bear Mountain Arena. Win a five-game ticket pack to Tuesday’s Grizzlies game by visiting the vicnews.com website and clicking on ‘contests’ at the top right of the screen.

Give them power. Give them confidence. Give them control.
GIVE THEM A PAPER ROUTE! A paper route is about so much more than money. These days kids want and need so many things. With a paper route they not only earn the money to buy those things, they also gain a new respect for themselves. They discover a new sense of confidence, power and control by having their very own job, making their own money and paying for their own games, phones and time with friends. All it takes is an hour or so after school Wednesday and Friday. And even better... there are no collections required.

Police cut into market for cigs A Langley man has been arrested for a rash of cigarette thefts targeting Costco customers on Vancouver Island. Christopher Sharafi, 46, faces 13 charges ranging from mischief to possession of stolen property. More charges are expected to be laid. Staff Sgt. Gary Schenk of the Greater Victoria Regional Crime Unit believes Sharafi watched small business owners as they purchased large amounts of cigarettes in Costco stores, followed them and broke into their vehicles if the opportunity was available. An investigation revealed 28 nearly identical incidents throughout B.C in 2012, occurring in Saanich, Langford, Nanaimo, Burnaby, Abbotsford, Coquitlam and Kamloops. More than $100,000 worth of cigarettes were stolen over the last six months, police say. Given the amount of cigarettes that were stolen, along with “past experience and streetlevel intelligence,” Schenk said RCU members believe the smokes were being sold on a cigarette black market. editor@vicnews.com

Joel Luyt has long been invested in the boarding sports – the snow and skate variety. But it wasn’t until last year, when he bought Sanction Boardshop from supplier Brad Richmond that he got a chance to mould his vision of a successful business involving his passion. Luyt, 32, spent 13 years in Abbotsford before moving his family to the Island in 2012. In buying his Don Descoteau own business – the shop has locations Biz Beat on Herald Street downtown, and Langford – he brought experience in both financial planning and youth services to the table, both valuable assets for his new choice of work. Almost from the get-go, Luyt and his staff have worked to shed the traditional model of skateboard and snowboard shops: boards and trucks and black T--shirts only. “You cannot stay stagnant, you have to evolve and know what is trending,” he says. His expansive, high-ceilinged downtown shop is all about colour: the main floor is filled with clothing while the upper level features a wide selection of boards.
Coastline have developed loyal followings, Sanction has grabbed a chunk of the market and flourished. “We basically doubled what (the previous owner) did in sales in a year and a half,” Luyt says.

The Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz was the height of luxury for 1960 with sweeping chrome, front and rear grilles and a fiberglass convertible top boot cover.
Photos: Bruce Stewart
One big-finned land yacht wasn’t enough for Victoria couple Ron Tomlinson’s gold 1960 convertible is one of only 1,285 Eldorado Biarritz convertibles made. One of a pair of ‘his and hers’ finned Cadillac convertibles owned ALYN EDWARDS by the Langford car CLASSIC enthusiast and his wife, RIDES Miriam, it’s equipped with everything but a toaster. The red one is the standard 62 series. Both have huge fins with front and rear grilles resembling a jukebox of the same era. Gargantuan land yachts, yes. And, no: you don’t need a special driver’s license to pilot one. These Caddies are surprisingly nimble to drive with the four corners very visible. Parade dignitaries have discovered that crowds pay more attention to the car they are riding in than them. Since the 1959 Cadillac had twin taillights mounted aboard Detroit’s most towering fins, the designers have been quoted as saying they got the 1959 design right in 1960. The 1960 Cadillac is representative of the last of the great romantic road cars. The owner’s manual has instructions regarding tire pressures and oil viscosity as if one will be cruising all day long at speeds in excess of 150 kilometres an hour. The 62 Series was the base model convertible. The 1960 Eldorado Biarritz convertible offered over-the-top luxury appointments and was nearly six metres long (225 inches), weighing in at 2,400 kilograms (5,060 pounds). Features include air ride suspension, air conditioning, cruise control, power everything, a custom fiberglass convertible top boot and triple two barrel carburetors delivering fuel to a giant 390 cubic inch (345 hp) engine. Ron Tomlinson literally bought his Eldorado Biarritz at a fire sale almost exactly 40 years ago. The owners had driven the car from Chicago when they

bought a campground near Nanaimo for a complete lifestyle change. Ron’s father, who had befriended the family and suggested they move to Vancouver Island, had surveyed the property for the owners of the Cadillac. Young Ron had dropped in to see the campground when the owner’s son showed him the big Cadillac Eldorado convertible. Ron told him he would love to buy the car if it ever came up for sale. Three years later, the son called Ron to tell him he could have the car. But there was a catch. The complicated triple carburetion setup had caused an engine fire as his mother was driving out of the campground and the car was no longer drivable. The insurance company was offering $500 for the car and planned to send it to the crusher.
The son said if Ron couldn’t fix the car, they would buy it back for the same price. Ron responded that he would buy the car and, if he couldn’t fix it, he would put the car up on blocks and polish it. For $750, Ron rewired the engine compartments and replaced the carburetors to put the car back on the road within a year. But it was five years before the body work and paint was done for $1,300. One of the first trips with the car was back to the campground for an emotional reunion with the family he had purchased the Eldorado Biarritz convertible from. Continued on Pg. B3

When it comes to today’s high tech cars and trucks, most drivers understand that following a scheduled maintenance program almost always costs less than paying for expensive repair surprises down the road. But which mistakes, bad decisions and missed maintenance items do the most damage to your vehicles? In a U.S. survey, certified Master Technicians, with more than 840 years of combined experience repairing cars, revealed the following top 10 maintenance mistakes car owners make when caring (or not caring) for their vehicles. 1. Putting off recommended / scheduled maintenance 2. Ignoring the “check engine” light 3. Not changing the oil, or not having it changed on time 4. Not checking tire pressure 5. Neglecting coolant, brake, transmission and other fluid services 6. Continuing to drive when the vehicle is overheating 7. Not changing fuel and air filters
No. 3 in the top 10, “not changing your oil” was listed by technicians as by far the single most damaging car maintenance item that their customers neglect that they wish they could change. Dirty oil ruins today’s hightech engines. Camshaft actuators can freeze when restricted by dirty oil, and a faulty camshaft actuator can in turn cause the “check engine” light to illuminate, resulting in complete engine failure if ignored for too long. Simply following the factoryrecommended oil change schedule helps vehicle owners avoid this problem, along with potentially hundreds, if not thousands of dollars in extra repair costs. Ignoring the “check engine” light is another example of how putting off repairs on a small problem can escalate to an expensive repair.

Ron and his wife were both teachers and the lavish gold Eldorado Biarritz convertible was a feature in the school parking lot when Ron drove the car daily for the first year. The couple brought their two sons home from the hospital in the car. They also took many vacation trips in the car to as far away as Glacier National Park, Jasper, Alberta, Mount Rainier, Washington and several trips to Oregon’s Forest Grove car show. “My wife was terrified to drive the car after I had it painted because she was afraid of scratching it,” he says. Ron’s answer to that was to buy his wife her own 1960 Cadillac convertible which he had painted a very bright red before being delivering it as a 25th wedding anniversary gift. The second 1960 Cadillac convertible was owned by a man in the same neighbourhood who wanted to sell it for $1,000 so he could buy a Corvette. Ron bought the Series 62 Cadillac convertible in 1985 and hid it from his wife for more than two years while he had the car restored. The Tomlinson’s have driven their rare pair of finned works of art in parades with Miriam piloting the gold Eldorado Biarritz and Ron following up with the red 62 Series convertible. “The satisfying thing about driving these cars is that they give so much joy to people,” Ron says. “Old and young people alike love these cars as representatives of the cars that we drove 50 years ago.” Ron is looking forward to displaying the ‘his and hers’ big-finned Cadillac convertibles at the 10th anniversary Cadillac Club of B.C. show which is expected to attract more than 100 vintage Cadillac and La Salle cars to Victoria’s Fort Rodd Hill national historic site on July 14. For more information visit www.bccadillacclub.ca
Which one is the boat? Ron Tomlinson’s luxurious 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz photographed on the Victoria waterfront.

New generation Santa Fe named the safest in its class METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
The Hyundai New Generation Santa Fe has been named as the safest car in its class, assessed by Euro NCAP during 2012. Its scores across all test categories were best-in-class, making it one of the safest vehicles ever tested by the independent vehicle assessment organization and the best in the “Large
Off-Road 4x4” segment – ahead of the Mercedes-Benz M-Class and Range Rover. Of the 36 vehicles tested during 2012, the eight top-performers in their segments have been recommended by Euro NCAP for their leading levels of safety across a range of assessments. In the “adult occupant” category, New Generation Santa Fe scored 96 per cent with maximum points in the side barrier test.
The New Generation Santa Fe is the latest of a long line of Hyundai models to achieve the maximum five-star score in Euro NCAP’s rigorous assessment program.
In the “child occupant” category, the D-segment SUV received a score of 89 per cent, and features such as electronic stability control contributed to the car’s score of 86 per cent in the “safety assist” category. In a further demonstration of Hyundai’s commitment to safety, the New Generation Santa Fe is the brand’s first car to be equipped with an active
bonnet. This activates if a pedestrian is hit, reducing impact forces and reducing the risk of serious injury. The result of this is a “pedestrian safety” score of 71 per cent, making the New Generation Santa Fe stand out among its rivals in this category with the nearest high score being 63 per cent.

Most dynamic, powerful Rolls-Royce set to debut at Geneva Motor Show METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has confirmed the launch of its next model, the RollsRoyce Wraith. The car will be presented for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show on March 5, with first deliveries to customers expected in the fourth quarter of 2013. Wraith will be the most dynamic, powerful and beautiful Rolls-Royce in the company’s history. It is a breathtaking car that will set a new benchmark in the ultra-luxury segment and will reaffirm the position of Rolls-Royce at the absolute pinnacle of automotive luxury. The launch will revive one of the most famous Rolls-Royce names first used in 1938.
Wraith will be the name of the next Rolls-Royce car and it will be aMotor Show in March.
Wraith draws inspiration from the story of the Honourable Charles Rolls, one of the company’s founding forefathers and a man who indulged a passion for innovation, engineering and, most importantly, adventure. Rolls was a passionate racing driver, balloonist and aviator winning the praise of King George V, who hailed him the “greatest hero of the day� on becoming the first person to cross the English Channel and return non-stop in a flying machine. Like Rolls, the new car embraces the very finest things in life – elegance, beauty, refinement and luxury – to be enjoyed by a new generation of confident gentlemen and women. It will boldly shape the future of RollsRoyce, building on the success of Phantom and Ghost, bringing new customers to the marque.
Daimler AG, Ford and Nissan sign unique three-way agreement Daimler AG, Ford Motor Company and Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., have signed a unique three-way agreement to accelerate the commercialization of fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) technology. The goal of the collaboration is to jointly develop a common fuel cell electric vehicle system while reducing
investment costs associated with the engineering of the technology. Each company will invest equally towards the project. The strategy to maximize design commonality, leverage volume and derive efficiencies through economies of scale will help to launch the world’s first affordable, mass-market
FCEVs as early as 2017. Together, Daimler, Ford and Nissan have more than 60 years of cumulative experience developing FCEVs. FCEVs have logged more than 10 million kilometres in test drives around the world in customers’ hands and as part of demonstration projects in
diverse conditions. The partners plan to develop a common fuel cell stack and fuel cell system that can be used by each company in the launch of highly differentiated, separately branded FCEVs, which produce no CO2 emissions while driving.
