Esquimalt Legion project hits snag But delay no major stumbling block Daniel Palmer News staff

Members of a committee that assembled the first Street Survival Guide check out the finished product Tuesday at the Greater Victoria Coalition to End Homelessness office on Pandora Avenue. Seated from left are Nate Moss, Coalition social inclusion co-ordinator Hannah Rabinovitch and David Small; standing are Doug Fraser, left, Jerry M. and Diane Clarke.
Street life made a little easier Victoria’s first Street Survival Guide unveiled Daniel Palmer News staff
When Jerry M. was evicted from a recovery house in the early months of 2010, he had only three thoughts on his mind: food, shelter and storage. “I had to then start tapping into where I was going to sleep for the day, where I could eat,” he said. “The only thing that was available were the places to get food and that was it. That’s all I could access easily.”
He’s since found his way back from surviving on the streets of Victoria, but many of those hard-learned lessons and services discovered through word-of-mouth are now being put to good use. On Thursday, Jerry and his colleagues unveiled Victoria’s first Street Survival Guide, a single resource for the plethora of services available to the estimated 1,600 homeless people in the region. “We put together a team of people who were homeless at some point or currently homeless, and they laid out the guide,” said Andrew Wynn-Williams, executive director of the Greater Victoria Coalition to End Homelessness. “It has been designed by those on the
street, for those on the street.” The guide is the result of six months of weekly meetings between the 10-person team. It breaks down the availability of shelters, meal service and even hygienic services such as haircuts and foot care around the downtown core. “Showers, Internet and access to phones are a little further along (in the guide),” Jerry said. The booklet also includes a walking map and operating hours for each service, as well as legal information on police authority and camping. PLEASE SEE: Resources spelled out, Page A4
The long-awaited redevelopment of Esquimalt’s Royal Canadian Legion building hit one more speed bump in its quest for redevelopment. Councillors delayed approving the development permits this week to allow the To w n s h i p ’s legal team to weigh in on the unique project at 622 Admirals Rd. “This is a Desjardins very unique situation in terms of amenity bylaws. This is a first for Esquimalt,” said Mayor Barb Desjardins. If approved, the project will include a mix of independent living seniors condos, commercial space and a rebuilt Legion. “It should be back on the docket on (Feb. 18),” said Coun. Meagan Brame. “Staff weren’t quite comfortable with all the wording and they’re doing their due diligence.” Once council approves the permits, the proposed development will still be subject to a formal public input process. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Good fortune, health central to Chinese New Year 2013 is the Year of the Snake on Chinese zodiac
W
alking into Victoria’s Chinese Public School on Fisgard Street is like entering a world of controlled madness. It’s not that the children attending here after their regular school day are misbehaving. But one senses an excitement in the air, not unlike the nearing of Christmas holidays. It’s the lead-up to Chinese New Year, which officially starts Sunday (Feb. 10) with the Year of the Snake. Student-painted banners in good-luck red adorn the classrooms and hallways. Women upstairs busily hand-wrap and boil up Chinese dumplings to Don Descoteau hand out at break time. A group of older Reporting students are dressed in red satin costumes as they demonstrate the dragon dance, the giant head bobbing and weaving like a punchdrunk boxer. University of Victoria education major and former Chinese Public School student Gary Sum, 23, is one of a number of graduates who return to help with
special activities, including guiding young students through the dragon dance. He admits the students don’t get much time to learn the tricky steps and precision required, but once under the red-and-yellow tail of the dragon, they simply have to hope for the best. “Overall, this is a pretty exciting time,” he says, acknowledging the buzz around this K-12 school. The dragon dance is just one aspect of Chinese New Year the children learn about and practise, says school principal Kileasa Wong, sitting in a classroom in the heart of the city’s Chinatown. “They do drawing and painting, and things like making lanterns and goldfish,” she says. “We talk about traditions and how to celebrate Chinese New Year.” Most of the students are already familiar with this time of year. Chinese families routinely spend about a week reconnecting with relatives, starting with a New Year’s Eve dinner, Sum says. “It’s all about the celebration, food and visiting family,” he says. While people’s busy lives make it tough to stay in touch through the year, he adds, “It’s really important to get together with family.” Chinese New Year presents not only a change on the calendar, it’s a time of renewal and hope in all aspects of one’s life, Wong says – a fresh start, if you will. The various foods consumed, from chicken and fish to lettuce and bok choy, all symbolize hopes for good fortune or profit, while sweets and fruits represent wishes for a positive road the rest of the year. Wong describes ageold traditions of receiving new clothes “from top to bottom,” good food shared with extended family and the traditional red envelopes with money inside. “We would come home (after visiting) and lay all the envelopes on the table and count all the money we made,” she says, grinning. Lee Mong Kow founded the school in 1899 and was its first principal.

Students are in the midst of preparing for Chinese New Year, which happens this Sunday. and other items – not to mention the reluctance by other residents of Victoria to fully embrace the Chinese community – likely made it a more subdued event in the early 20th century. In fact, Wong recalls that when she arrived in Victoria in 1970, there still wasn’t much hoopla surrounding the event. “Chinatown was very quiet at that time,” she says. Today’s support of ethnic diversity and the active nature of members of the Chinese community make Chinese New Year celebrations popular in Victoria. “I think we try to carry on the traditions more here than people in China,” Wong says. On a day meant to be one of rest, one of Victoria’s more active traditions – the annual lion dance through Chinatown – happens Sunday. While children and graduates of the public school learn the dragon dance as part of their Chinese traditions, members of the Wong Sheung Kung Fu Club, operating out of Chinatown since 1974, have handled lion dance duties on the street for decades in the city. Their colourful outfits, staccato drumming and train-like dragon performances are a big part of Chinese New Year celebrations, not to mention a much-admired part of the annual Victoria

Day parade in May. New Year’s festivities start at noon outside the school, 636 Fisgard St. While he enjoys the festival nature of Chinese New Year celebrations, Sum comes back to the family aspect of turning over this cultural calendar. “It’s a good time to look at your roots,” he says of visiting relatives. “And you’re always wishing for the best in the new year, or at least as good as you had the previous year.” editor@vicnews.com
Happy snake year According to the website HanBan. com, this year is “meant for steady progress and attention to detail.” It goes on to say “ancient Chinese wisdom says a snake in the house is a good omen because it means your family will not starve.” Famous Snakes: Queen Elizabeth I (born 1533), Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (1929), Oprah Winfrey (1954) Sarah Jessica Parker (1965), Taylor Swift (1989), Daniel Radcliffe (1989) Kileasa Wong, principal of the Victoria Chinese Public School, describes people born under the sign of the snake: “The snake is known as the ‘little dragon.’ They are smart and quick-thinking.”

Family Day holiday stirs up emotions
Resources spelled out for homeless
Added cost of long weekend debated News staff
Family Day means sleeping in, an extra day with the family and taking in special festivities. But while many will be enjoying the new holiday, others may be faced with some painful emotions. Robert Gifford, professor of psychology and environmental studies at the University of Victoria, said he recently “ranted” to his class about some of his Family Day concerns from a psychological perspective. “I think a lot of people are going to be happy to break the long time between Christmas and Easter,” he said. But due to the choice of the word ‘family,’ emotions around the day may vary depending on the individual’s situation. “If you happen to live in a classic nuclear family, or close to your parents or grandchildren, it seems great to spend the day together. It’s a postcard holiday,” Gifford said. The word family may be uncomfortable for those
who live far away from their families, have a broken family or are estranged from their loved ones, he added. Although Gifford is concerned with the literal meaning of the word, Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA Ida Chong said the term is intended to be more inclusive. “When you talk about family, I think you refer to all your loved ones,” she said. “I don’t know if we could have called it a loved one holiday, that would have been pretty difficult.” The new holiday is intended not only to provide a break for businesses and employees, but also to reinforce the importance of family. “By calling it Family Day we will treasure and value the family. Whatever that is in everyone’s structure, people will spend time together with their loved ones,” Chong said. The provincial government is also hoping the new holiday will provide an economic boost at a slow time of the year. “I talked to people who said

Colwill says Family Day is a great idea. they were looking forward to it and planning to do a staycation,” Chong said. “Instead of going away, they are going to stay in town with their family and visit local tourist attractions, recreational activities or the special events planned. There will be money put back into the economy.” Some B.C. workers who won’t be enjoying the day off are federal public sector employees. According to the Public Service Alliance of Canada, their collective agreements provide for 11 designated paid holidays, including a day in the opinion of the employer to be a provincial or civic holiday.

Bateman isn’t convinced there is a need for the new holiday, but he understands it was part of the premier’s campaign platform. “If you have a holiday, let the private sector and other organizations do their thing. “You don’t see us plowing grants into Easter Sunday or Christmas Day.” he said. mcole@oakbaynews.com

“If I had access to something like this, my life would have been a lot easier,” said David Small, a recovering heroin addict who is HIV positive. “So many people turned me away.” Small said the province needs to provide better funding for mental health and addictions, but he’s glad the guide provides a list of current detox and other free health services. The Street Survival Guide is modelled after similar guides created for residents in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside and in Kelowna, Wynn-Williams said. But Victoria’s guide is the first to rely primarily on a panel of experts who have experienced homelessness firsthand. “It’s been a very progressive journey,” Jerry said. “It was a hard thing, but I know the survival guide will make a lot of difference for people that are facing very similar issues more on a long-term basis.” Funding for the guide was provided by the United Way of Greater Victoria. The Coalition is a partnership of local service providers, non-profit organizations, all levels of government, and the business, post-secondary and faith communities. Its mission is to end homelessness in Greater Victoria by 2018. dpalmer@vicnews.com

SENIOR DRIVERS SEMINAR “WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW”
Cellphone stores targeted in heists Police suspect thieves’ focus was new Blackberry Edward Hill News staff
Saanich police investigators suspect thieves were targeting the new BlackBerry 10 mobile phone during two well-planned break-ins this week. A thief or thieves broke into a Rogers Wireless store on Quadra Street early Monday morning and then a Telus Mobility store at Uptown early Tuesday morning. In both cases, the stores were entered through holes cut into the drywall in vacant retail spaces next door. “We believe they’re related,” said Victoria police Const. Mike Russell. “We’re working closely with Saanich PD, see if we can put two and two together.” In the case of the Rogers Wireless store, Victoria investigators are trying to determine what, if anything, was stolen. Police described the store as being in a state of disarray when employees arrived in the morning. At Uptown at 3 a.m. on Tuesday, Saanich officers responded
to an alarm at the Telus store, and eventually discovered that someone cut through the wall to access the rear staff office. Police determined that a number of test holes were drilled in the wall of the empty retail space, then a larger access hole was cut with a knife, Saanich police Sgt. Steve Eassie said. Around noon on Tuesday, a worker could be seen patching a rectangular, door-size hole in the shop beside Telus. Police say nothing was stolen from the Telus store, likely due to the audible alarm that was tripped from a motion sensor. Eassie said the Rogers and Telus break-ins coincide with the highly publicized release of Research In Motion’s BlackBerry 10, and are similar to a break-in at WestWorld Computers in September last year, around the time when Apple released its iPhone 5. On Sept. 24, 2012, thieves stole $40,000 of Apple computer products from WestWorld by disabling the alarm system and breaking through the wall from an empty adjacent store. A day earlier, the now-closed Best Buy at Uptown was broken into and its security system had been tampered with.
“It looks like there is a correlation between the release dates of the iPhone 5 and the BlackBerry 10,” Eassie said. “This type of incident is not a random act. It’s not a crime of opportunity. These are wellplanned, premeditated incidents.” No arrests have been made in the WestWorld theft, and Eassie said it was a struggle for investigators to get serial numbers of stolen items. He couldn’t say if any of the stolen goods had popped up on online sites such as Craigslist or EBay, but he suspects the gear was moved out of the city. “The reality is this is a well organized group or individual. It’s highly unlikely they were on the market here in Greater Victoria.” Saanich and Victoria investigators are waiting to get surveillance video from the respective stores from this week’s breakins. Anyone with information on these incidents can call VicPD’s non-emergency line at 250-9957654, Saanich police at 250-4754321, or make an anonymous report to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). – with files from Daniel Palmer editor@saanichnews.com

When the officer went to check on the vehicle registration, the driver took off at a high speed. The vehicle hardly made it a block before slamming into concrete blocks at Ellice Recycling yard. “The impact was enough to shatter the Range Rover’s rims and to drive the axle deep into the engine compartment,” said Bowen Osoko, VicPD spokesman, adding the $70,000 vehicle is likely to be written off. “The concrete blocks themselves, which weigh a considerable
amount, were also displaced by the impact.” The driver fled the scene but was quickly tracked down by a K9 unit, Osoko said. A 19-year-old Victoria man faces charges of dangerous driving and fleeing from police. One of the passengers, an 18-yearold Victoria man, was taken into custody on an outstanding warrant. Charges against the other passengers and further charges against the driver are expected. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Brain injury survivor works hard to give back A re you still a genius? The question lingers in my mind as I ponder a riddle set out by Greg Goldberg. I’m not feeling like a genius and my grey matter isn’t serving me especially well, but I’ve got nothing to complain about. Seated around Goldberg are four guys whose brains betray them on a daily basis. They tend to forget things, struggle with problem solving, and can have fits of anger and impulsiveness. But on this Edward Hill night, they’re Reporting concentrated on brain-bending cognitive exercises while recording an Internet-broadcast game show called Are You Still a Genius?, one of Goldberg’s programs to help people recover from traumatic brain injuries. He lays out the question: Make “new door” one word. The four men chuckle a bit as I struggle. The answer is “one word.” Goldberg smiles as he tells me they can always add more contestants to the game show. “We try to use all areas of the brain for cognitive ability,” he says. “This question is the logical going against the spatial.” Goldberg hosts his game show at Mary Cridge Manor, a nondescript apartment block on Yates Street that houses a dozen brain injury survivors, and is operated by the Cridge Centre for the Family. The men enjoy an easy-going camaraderie – they have dinner, chat and tell off-coloured jokes. For the broadcast, Goldberg audio records their answers and stitches together a video using the men’s photos and slides of the questions. Now finished its second season, the game has a dedicated following and a stable of sponsors – Safeway, Tim Hortons, Starbucks, Arby’s and Thrifty Foods. “Are You Still a Genius? has caught fire.

OUR VIEW
B.C. Family Day not free for all This weekend marks B.C.’s first Family Day statutory holiday, which for most people breaks that long three-month stretch between New Year’s Day and Easter. B.C. residents now enjoy 10 stat holidays (11 if your employer is nice enough to throw in Boxing Day), which ties us with Saskatchewan as the most generous province for the coveted long weekend. By contrast, Nova Scotians and Newfoundlanders only have five. While Greater Victorians enjoy recounting their youth by listening to Trooper in the Inner Harbour on Monday, or take advantage of the many activities offered at recreation centres across the region, people should remember not everybody can afford an extra day off. When Premier Christy Clark announced the creation of Family Day in October 2011, she expected that by now a better economy would balance out the extra costs to businesses. But many small retailers and companies are struggling as the economy remains flat at best. They are paying out more due to a higher minimum wage, and all are now contemplating the cost and hassle of returning to the GST/PST system. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business estimates a small business with five employees will shell out about $1,135 for Family Day and it will cost small and medium sized businesses $42 million in lost productivity. Municipal and provincial governments will also shell out more for essential service employees and the hundreds of thousands of people on the public payroll. This holiday can be seen as rather blatant pandering to the electorate by the the B.C. Liberals, or an attempt to give hard-working B.C.ers a break – perhaps it’s a bit of both. And while the majority of us will enjoy the Monday off work, it’s important to acknowledge the many small business owners in our community who will see it as nothing but an added burden.

LETTERS Questions remain on wireless effects, but evidence growing Re: No escape from radio frequencies (Edward Hill column, Feb. 1) In your opinion, “anti-wi-fi and anti-smart meter people” are “grossly exaggerating” the ill effects from microwave radiation, insinuating people are either misinformed or irrational in their concerns. I can assure you this is far from the truth. Concerns are based upon a plethora of independent studies from many international research institutions, including the military, going back several
decades. The assertion that vulnerable children are placed at high risk and must be protected from this radiation is reiterated around the world by many credible health experts. You will have to look further than mainstream media for this information, however, for obvious reasons. Questions undeniably remain, but to state that all is fine, in the face of growing evidence that it is not, fails to provide critical information about this important public health challenge.
We need to promote reasonable measures to reduce exposure to wireless radiation for everyone, particularly children. Preference should be given to wired Internet connections in schools for safety where students spend countless hours in close proximity to many transmitting devices. Many technology specialists agree wired is superior in many ways to wireless that is notoriously slow, unreliable and unsecure. The International Agency for Research on Cancer reclassified
all sources of radio frequency radiation as a class 2B carcinogen for good reason. One has to remember that IARC monographs are considered as ‘gold standard’ in evaluation of carcinogenicity of physical and chemical agents. There must be sufficient scientific reason or IARC would not put its reputation behind such claim. It is also important to note WorkSafeBC occupational health and safety guidelines stipulate, under section 5.57, that any 2B carcinogen must be replaced with a safer alternative that “reduces
the risk to workers.” How is this important fact overlooked by employers and school officials? History is replete with failures to control highly profitable carcinogenic substances, ranging from tobacco to asbestos, until proof of harm became irrefutable. We can ill afford to go through that same course with wireless technologies, given the long latency involved before serious disease manifests. Tammy Jeske Langford
Readers respond: Island rail project, Family Day, B.C. taxation options Rail funding not enough to make a difference Re: Island rail project gains momentum (News, Jan. 25) So the Island Corridor Foundation will receive $1.2 million from the CRD, $5.4 million from the five regional districts and $15 million from the federal and provincial governments to “… hopefully restore VIA rail service and initiate commuter rail service to Victoria.” The intent is great, but what will this money accomplish? Victoria is spending nearly $100 million to replace a small bridge. I understand there are many bridges on the E&N Railway that are older and more poorly maintained than the Blue Bridge. We spent more than $1 million refurbishing the Kinsol Trestle to support walkers and cyclists, not heavy, high-speed rail equipment. The E&N has nearly 100 kilometres of track that needs to be totally replaced. Walk it yourself and see if you believe the existing line would be safe with minor tie replacements. The E&N has no rolling stock and no staff or operating budget. Are our elected representatives making purely political spending decisions, or will they produce a better transportation system? If they do open the door to improved transit, what is the future cost of following up on
these initial expenditures? If we are we going to pledge our future taxes and those of our children to an everescalating investment which has no return until fully completed, we should look at total costs and revenues, not just spread a little here and there with the hope of ‘catching the big one’ some day. A rail system may be the answer to some of Victoria’s transportation problems, but at what cost per passenger? Seems to me that a little advanced planning by our leaders would stop this cash dribble before it starts. That money would serve a much better purpose if it was redirected to the homeless or drug rehabilitation. Let’s stop pretending these piddly sums will have any impact on local transit. These minor budget allocations will be absorbed by consultant fees and some minor maintenance. Best to fund it adequately or not fund it all all. This is a cheap, vote-buying effort and should be exposed as such. Jim Knock Esquimalt
Family Day should also celebrate progress Hurrah for Family Day! On Monday we in B.C. have been given the day off
to celebrate Family Day, an opportunity to share family time and fun. The provincial government’s website offers family events across the province. What a great idea to recognize the worth and contribution families make to our society by giving them an extended weekend to spend together. Families are also said to be a top priority for Prime Minister Stephen Harper. It’s funny, though, how governments think. Reported estimates for B.C. show that child poverty costs the province between $8 billion and $9 billion annually while a comprehensive program to reduce such poverty would cost annually between $3 billion and $4 billion. If families really are a priority and governments really are fiscally prudent, as they say, what’s going on here? Not only are our kids our most precious and valuable asset, they also offer the best possible return on public investment towards ensuring a strong and healthy nation. Families can only do their part if governments are willing to create a public environment that safeguards our kids’ well-being and nurtures their growth and development. We should be able to celebrate Family Day for the progress we
make in securing a vibrant future for our children. Then I’m sure we would enjoy the day, whatever activity we happen to participate in. Sonya Ignatieff Saanich
Benefactors of growth can afford to pay more Re: Here comes the tax, man (Our View, Feb. 1) The editorial said, “British Columbians now have to decide what they value more: services or disposable income – or find a balance between the two.” The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives report referred to, “Progressive Tax Options for B.C. – Reform Ideas for Raising New Revenues and Enhancing Fairness,” actually said that we could have more disposable income and more social services. The report made a plea for progressive taxation. It’s fair for the benefactors of B.C.’s recent economic growth to give a little more to the common pool, since their taxes are lower than the rest of Canada. This would raise needed program revenue, reduce income inequality and increase disposable income. If the top six per cent of B.C. residents, those with incomes over $103,000, paid a fair tax share, we would raise $930 million. That would build 2,000
social housing units annually, pay increased welfare to cover food and housing, support families by properly funding ministry programs, restore school class sizes to 2007 levels and increase post-secondary education funding by 10 per cent. The Centre also said for the price of a cup of coffee each a day, we’d raise $2.3 billion for substantial investment in a number of areas. It did sound like a few people might have to forgo that extra yacht, Maserati or vacation mansion, including me. Larry Wartel Victoria

Kerry Simmons, president of the Canadian Bar Association’s B.C. branch, speaks at a press conference in Victoria on Tuesday. Lawyers are speaking out, calling for changes to the criminal justice system.
Lawyers call for list of reforms Inefficiencies in the system slowing down court cases Tom Fletcher Black Press
The B.C. branch of the Canadian Bar Association released a report Tuesday calling for more judges, more court services staff, more legal aid money and more mental health services. Kerry Simmons, president of the Canadian Bar Association B.C. branch, released the report at a news conference in Victoria on Tuesday. Simmons said the association wants to put justice issues on the agenda for the May provincial election, and it has been received with interest by the B.C. Liberal Party and NDP. The bar association, representing “… there was a 6,900 B.C. judges, lawgeneral sense that yers and law students, is seeking a long wish judges and lawyers list of reforms, includhave their own, ing long-standing demands for legal insulated sense of aid funding for family what constitutes court disputes and a return to the 2005 level timeliness and of staffing for provin- responsiveness.” cial court judges. – Geoffrey Cowper in The B.C. governreview of court system ment announced the hiring of nine new judges a year ago, and Attorney General Shirley Bond also launched a review of the court system. Geoffrey Cowper, former chair of B.C.’s Legal Services Society, was assigned to examine why the court system was getting slower despite 13,000 fewer new provincial criminal cases than it handled in 2002. Cowper concluded the problem is partly because there are incentives for defence lawyers to delay cases, and a “culture of delay” that resists change. “During the review there was a general sense that judges and lawyers have their own, insulated sense of what constitutes timeliness and responsiveness,” he wrote. He also found there is an average of seven appearances by the accused in a criminal case before it goes to trial. Asked about those problems, Simmons said there are pilot projects underway to expand the use of video conferencing in courts. Judges from out of town can preside over simpler procedures, such as bail or remand hearings. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Memories of China
ARTS LISTINGS
In her first book, Dancing in the Heart off the Dragon – A Memoir of China, Ramona McKean takes the reader into the heart of China as she provides a true account of the events leading up to her near-death experience in China and her miraculous return to Canada. A Canadian who’d been living and working in a big city in Northern China, Ramona took a holiday in the south where she experienced countryside hospitality before meeting with the front seat horror of a head-on collision. She’d been wearing no seat belt and amazingly did not go through the windshield nor did she sustain any brain injury. After the accident and before her return to Canada, she experienced unprecedented personal care from Chinese locals. In Dancing in the Heart of the Dragon, Ramona McKean provides a sensitive and loving bridge of unique understanding for Westerners curious about the real China with its everyday real people. She shares how the love and spiritual truths she experienced in China help her in her journey back to health. Join McKean at the The Centre for Inspired Living, 380 Cook St., on Sunday, Feb. 10 at 12:30 p.m. for a special book launch. llavin@vicnews.com
Who’s clip-clopping across my bridge?
IN BRIEF
The grass really is greener on the other side, but a hideous troll has taken up residence under the bridge, and the promised land is forever unattainable – if you are a goat born on the wrong side of the craggy chasm. Gruff is a rolicking musical for two goats and a troll, written by acclaimed children’s author Judd Palmer and starring Izad Etemadi, Jana Morrison and David MacPherson. See Gruff and four original shows by Kaleidoscope, Suddenly Dance, Urban Arts, & Puente Theatre until Feb. 11 at Berwick House Theatre.

New club makes a splash at UVic Travis Paterson News staff
There’s a new water polo club in town. The Vancouver Island Water Polo Association is based out of the University of Victoria’s McKinnon pool and is the second club of its kind in Greater Victoria. Colette Baty is one of the original five parents who started the club, now in its second year. Baty and the other parents all had kids at the Saanich Waterpolo School at Saanich Commonwealth Place. Baty says the experience at Saanich Waterpolo was a positive one, but adds that she saw there was room, and a need, for another club in Greater Victoria. “(The Vancouver Island Water
Polo Association) started as a girls club only, but over the last year grew into both genders and various ages,� Baty said. “We just want kids to reach their personal goals. If it’s just recreational, that’s great, if they want to play competitively, that’s great too.� The original team was the girls 15-and-under VI Sirens and a team of younger girls. The organization now has dozens of players aged 12 to 19. Members can play three times a week, Sunday afternoons, and Tuesday and Thursday nights, and be of any skill level. UVic has a non-varsity water polo club which some of the VI members join on Saturdays. Getting regular pool space for the new club was a full time job
Sharon Tiffin/News staff
Teens Ligia Brolo, left, Jemma Eason, Nicole Smith and PeggyJean Allin are part of the Vancouver Island Water Polo Association water polo team, based at the McKinnon pool at UVic. for about two weeks, but UVic came through. “It’s a tricky thing, it wasn’t impossible but it did take some work,� Baty said. “Some kids have played before and want to stay
with the sport recreationally, others are there because they want to try it out, and some are competitive.� The majority of the new club is made up of players from Victoria,
Esquimalt, Saanich and the Peninsula, she said. Despite its cachet as an Olympic sport, there isn’t a water polo league for youths in Victoria. Mostly, the players train and enter tournaments. “Water polo is not as set as soccer or hockey. We did have two teams (co-ed under 16 and 18) play in the Lower Mainland Water Polo League this past fall, but essentially there’s no season for Victoria players.� The U16 team won silver and the U18 team finished fourth in the mainland league’s end of the season tournament. Last year, the Sirens girls team went to nationals in Winnipeg and is hoping to do so again at Quebec City this year. The club runs September to May and youths can still join.

Victoria hosts Island figure skating championships this weekend Arnold Lim News staff
Ice sports don’t need body checks to be entertaining. The Vancouver Island Regional Skating Championships takes to the ice of the Archie Browning Sports Centre in Esquimalt this weekend where many of the Island’s top figure skaters hit the ice for the right to be called the Island’s best. It’s the first time the Racquet Club of Victoria has hosted the Island regionals.
“We are going to see the best of the best on the Island,� said Malcolm Rohon, who skates with the Raquet Club. “Good singles skaters, amazing jumps – and the dance teams that are going to be really fun to watch.� The 23-year-old skater and coach has donned the skates since age seven and competed nationally and internationally as an ice dancer. He says the combination of athleticism and artistry of figure skating is second to none. “I want to show how dynamic the sport

More than 280 competitors will take to the ice Feb. 8-10 in different skating events, from singles and pairs free skates, to ice dance and elements where competitors from five to 45 show off their hard work and dedication. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our sport we try to make things look easy, but when we make it look easy, people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how much work it is and how much practice it is to make a jump,â&#x20AC;?

Rohon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes hundreds, if not thousands of times before they have landed it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main thing we are trying to do is to get more people to watch and support the kids. The more people there are, the more energy there is, and that is good for (them),â&#x20AC;? said Deena Beacom, the Racquet Club director of skating and a participant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is exhilarating.

Bike lane funding a good first step: advocates City to paint more cyclist-friendly lines on streets Daniel Palmer News staff
Allotting funds to create more bike lanes in the Capital Region is a good first step, advocates say, but more needs to be done to comply with the CRDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longterm cycling plan. On Tuesday, the province committed $765,000 for intersection improvements along the E&N Rail Trail, running next to the rail bed between Esquimalt and Admirals roads. The City of Victoria will receive about $48,000, or 50 per cent of the funding needed to paint bike lanes along Pandora Avenue (from Oak Bay Avenue to Cook Street), on Johnson
Street (from Cook Street to its intersection with Begbie Street) and Begbie to Shelbourne Street. But Victoria and the Capital Region still have a long way to go before it can boast a cycling infrastructure similar to Vancouver, said Edward Pullman, Greater Victoria Cycling Coalition president. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just going to be paint on the road in Victoria. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a physical separation, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essentially just a little bit of passing space,â&#x20AC;? he said. The Victoria bike lanes will connect downtown with destinations near Royal Jubilee Hospital, with the long-term plan to connect to Oak Bay, said Brad Dellebuur, Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation manager. The city is still in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;skeleton building stage,â&#x20AC;? he said. Staff are just starting to look

at ways to comply with the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s master cycling plan, which calls for more separated, buffered bike lanes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The difficult part for us, generally, is we have limited right of way in the municipality,â&#x20AC;? Dellebuur said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a lot of space to play with in terms of design.â&#x20AC;? Better cycling infrastructure actually benefits drivers with no other option for commuting to the downtown core, he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Long-term, the more cyclists you have on the corridor, it benefits those people who have to still drive their vehicle because it means there are fewer cars on the road.â&#x20AC;? The Cycling Coalition is currently lobbying Capital Region municipalities on the economic benefits of increased bike infrastructure. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Four more residential properties are now officially recognized for their heritage value in Esquimalt. On Monday night, Esquimalt council approved the addition of homes at 507 Head St., 820 Dunsmuir Rd., 948 Old Esquimalt Rd. and 1211 Old Esquimalt Rd. to its community heritage register. The owners of a home at 539 Lampson St. requested not to be included on the register until they received further information. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s totally optional, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t force anybody to do it,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Meagan Brame. Being placed on the register is less formal than heritage designation and does not entail restrictive zoning for future development, Brame added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just shows there is some heritage recognition,â&#x20AC;? she said. Statements of significance will be given to the owners of each property by the Township in the coming weeks. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Several area firms have been recognized recently for business excellence. Saanich-based CMS Focus Management Services Ltd. won the award for Excellence in Construction Management and Supervision at last week’s Deputy Minister’s Consulting Engineers Awards, for its work on the 202nd Street Rapid Transit Project in Langley. Clean Air Yard Care is a top-five finalist in the Best Green Business category in Small Business B.C.’s Successful You awards, to be handed out Feb. 28 in Vancouver.

Bob Larson’s 1940 Mercury coupe boasts a 354 cubic inch Chrysler Hemi engine.
Vancouver contractor Bill Larson believes the support of his family and a wide group of car enthusiast friends is a big reason he is a cancer survivor today. By mid-2012, his ALYN EDWARDS future looked bleak as CLASSIC cancer and weight loss RIDES took its toll on his body. His hobby project to turn a 1937 Ford sedan into a hot rod remained in pieces in his garage. He didn’t know his retired mechanic brother Jim, Jim’s son Bob and a host of car friends and supporters had collected all the parts from Bill’s garage for the uncompleted 1937 Ford ‘flatback’ sedan hot rod and were hurriedly trying to finish the project. When Bill’s health took a significant turn for the worse last August, they promised him his car would be waiting to drive when he got out of the hospital. Pioneer hot rodder Jerry Abramson was the first to reach into his pocket and then encouraged other friends to donate money to finish the body work on Bill’s car. When the body was completed and painted, friends got together to install it on a new frame that had been built by his brother Jim the previous year. Bill was still in the hospital when Jim told him he would be able to drive his hot rod when he got out. Like magic, Bill began to perk up while businesses like Tom the Tire Guy, the Old Car Centre and Aldergrove A-1 Glass donated necessary items. Hot rod builder Dave Salter took the car to his shop to wire and fire the engine so it could be driven. When Bill was finally released from hospital last October, he was amazed to find the project completed by dozens of family members and hot rod friends who had donated money and labour.
Bob Larson’s radically customized 1940 Mercury coupe was inspired by a California custom built by the Barris brothers in 1950 in Los Angeles for Nick Matranga (right).
Bill and his older brother, Jim grew up in South Vancouver during the hot rod and custom craze of the ‘50s and ‘60s. They were into cars before they were old enough to have a driver’s license and between the two of them have owned more than two dozen hot rods over the years – all Ford products. Jim and Bill credit the support and patience of their wives, Jackie and Eileen for the long hours of garage time. It was in the summer of 1957 that Jim Larson saw his first car – a 1939 Ford tudor sedan – on a Main Street gas station lot while riding home on the bus. He has just finished peeling onions at the Pacific National Exhibition for 10 days earning $37.50. “The car cost $35
and my mother was really angry when I came home with only pocket change,” he recalls. His father bought him a low mileage 1954 Ford tudor sedan when Jim was 17. Jim and his friends eventually drove the Ford to Tijuana, Mexico for a custom green and white tuck ‘n’ roll naugahyde interior that took only one day to complete and cost $129. In the years following, Jim built a series of hot rods with a number of cars from the ‘30s and ‘40s including 1939 and 1941 Ford convertibles, two Model-A Fords and four 1950’s Fords.

Family customs Continued from Pg. B1
His current driver is a Wimbledon White 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 fastback with a beefed up V8 engine. It replaces a similar car that he sold to get married. Younger brother Bill also got into cars at an early age with a 1937 Ford coupe purchased for $75 earned with a paper route when he was just 13 years old. As time progressed, Bill built a series of Model-A Ford coupes and sedan models – most with modern high performance Chevrolet V8 engines. He then followed up with a very rare 1937 Ford four-door convertible purchased in pieces in Saskatchewan and rebuilt with modern power. He drove his hot rods tens of thousands of kilometres before he got sick. Jim Larson’s son Bob was in the garage learning about cars from his dad and his Uncle Bill from the age of three and built his first completed hot rod in his early 20s. Bob Larson’s present ride is extra special because it represents one of the first radically customized cars done by legendary California customizer Sam Barris. In 1949, Nick Matranga paid $850 for a low-
mileage 1940 Mercury coupe. He took it to Barris Customs where the top was chopped and a host of body modifications were completed over the next year. Bob Larson has recreated the spirit of the ‘Matranga Merc’ with his own radically customized 1940 Mercury coupe. “I’ve been customizing cars since I bought a 1950 Meteor tudor sedan at 15,” Bob Larson says. He bought his car in pieces from a family friend and had the top chopped by five inches in the front and seven inches at the rear along with dozens of other modifications replicating Nick Matranga’s car built nearly six decades before. An early Chrysler 354 cubic inch hemi engine lurks beneath the hood delivering power to the rear wheels through a Chevrolet automatic overdrive transmission. “I’ve met so many great people that I wouldn’t know if it wasn’t for old cars,” he says. He regularly attends hot rod shows in Puyallup and Yakima, Wa. with his parents and his Uncle Bill. “When Uncle Bill got sick and we had the opportunity to finish his car, we all jumped in,” the Vancouver Parks Board equipment operator says. Bill Larson is filled with gratitude. “I have about 45 people to thank and
Classic and custom cars have been a part of the Larson family’s lives since they were in their teens. The 1941 Ford convertible built by Jim Larson takes its cues from early customs built in Southern California.
all the businesses who contributed,” he says. He is now back cruising with his brother and nephew with their old cars. His health has improved dramatically since his family and friends put the car he was building on the road in December. “The whole thing has brought us closer as a family,” he says. “After not being able to do anything for a year, driving this car is very high on my bucket list.”

SKYACTIV-D clean diesel technology wins friends METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
With its unique combination of class-beating performance, increased fuel efficiency and reduced CO2 emissions, Mazda’s SKYACTIV-D clean diesel engines are attracting the admiration of automotive experts and consumers worldwide. Mazda’s innovative new diesel technology is becoming a global success, reaching beyond traditional diesel strongholds with unparalleled sales elsewhere. While diesel engines power more than half of all new passenger cars sold in Europe, they are virtually non-existent in Japan, previously representing a mere 0.4 per cent of the passenger car market.
Now, in contrast, four out of five Mazda CX5s (80 per cent) sold in Japan have a 2.2-litre SKYACTIV-D under the hood. Currently, SKYACTIV engines, transmissions, chassis and body technologies are available in the UK on CX-5 compact SUV models, and the all-new Mazda6 Saloon and Tourer – with the addition of the i-ELOOP unique brake energy regeneration system that can boost fuel economy by up to 10 per cent. A perfect example of how Mazda continues to defy convention, the SKYACTIV-D engine has a 14:1 compression ratio – unusually low for a diesel and the lowest currently available – which enhances fuel combustion and efficiency, while reducing harmful emissions, especially of nitrogen oxides (NOx). The engine’s variable twin turbocharger

Mazda’s SKYACTIV-D diesel engine technology is gaining consumer acceptance at a mushrooming pace. In Japan, 80 per cent of CX-5 CUVs are sold with the diesel engine.
boosts torque and responsiveness throughout the rev range right up to the unusually high redline of well over 5,000rpm. Yet it still delivers best-in-class fuel economy and CO2 emissions – from 119g/km and up to 61.4 mpg in the CX-5 and from 108g/km and up to 67.3mpg on the all-new Mazda6 sedan – figures which make SKYACTIV-D a viable alternative to hybrids, and they are a lot more fun to drive. Mazda’s clean diesel technology is now destined for North America, another traditionally weak diesel market (at around three per cent). Scheduled for arrival later in 2013, the all-new Mazda6 will be the first passenger car powered by a modern clean diesel to be offered by any Asian manufacturer in the USA.
McLaren automotive launches new brand film: McLaren 50 The first of three specially commissioned short films has gone live, depicting the McLaren brand in a way never seen before as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations. Instead of focusing on the high-tech, high-octane world of the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Formula 1 team, or even the Group’s new Automotive division and its groundbreaking 12C and McLaren P1, the short film sheds
light on McLaren’s very human backstory – namely that of Bruce McLaren, who founded his racing team five decades ago. Directed sensitively by Marcus Söderlund, a leading music-video maker from Sweden, the short film forms part one of the 50th anniversary trilogy following the ghost of Bruce McLaren as he retraces the scene of his crash at the Goodwood circuit in 1970 – the crash
that took his life at the tragically young age of 32. Shot in Söderlund’s trademark, dreamlike state, it is accompanied by a spine-tingling Bruce McLaren monologue, ending poignantly with the words: “…What might be seen as a tragic end was in fact a beginning. As I always said, to do something well is so worthwhile that to die trying to do it
better cannot be foolhardy. Indeed, life is not measured in years alone but in achievement...” Parts two and three of the McLaren short film trilogy will be released in due course and promoted, like part one, via www.mclaren.com and virally through the official McLaren Automotive YouTube channel – http:// youtu.be/23E1m8ZxFmU – and www. facebook.a
