There have been four VFD deaths since its inception in 1858. Birtwhistle said firefighters have fought hard recently to gain recognition for particular cancer-related deaths due to fire exposure.
“If we do get certain types of cancers, it is presumed to be part of our occupation,” he said. “It means a lot to us that it was presumed to be in the line of duty. I’d say we still get one guy a month passing away from cancer.” dpalmer@vicnews.com

Greater Victoria needs better transportation infrastructure to meet the increasing number of tourists who are travelling outside the downtown core, say industry stakeholders. Visitor numbers are expected to increase by about 1.5 per cent this year over 2012, but certain businesses are missing out due to a lack of frequent bus service between the region’s biggest tourist draws, said Tourism Victoria president/CEO Robert Gialloreto. “We’ve got great product throughout Greater Victoria, but we just can’t access it as seamlessly as we want for our tourists,” he said. “So, a lot of our tourists come here, they’re in the Inner Harbour, they might take a bus trip to Butchart Gardens, they walk around and they leave, when they should be spending four or five days here.” While the industry runs its own Peninsula bus service to attractions such as Butchart Gardens, Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre, Victoria Butterfly Gardens and Sea Cider Farm and Ciderhouse, it isn’t enough to encourage mass tourism visits throughout the region, Gialloreto said.

Fallen firefighters remembered There are few professions more dangerous than firefighting, and even fewer that create a universal bond transcending cities, provinces and international borders. Victoria Fire Department Lt. Gary Birtwhistle recalls that many of his colleagues flew to Manhattan in the wake of 9/11 to offer support to the hundreds of families attending funerals. “It’s very moving, especially for us, because you obviously relate it to your brothers and sisters that you work with,” said Birtwhistle, who also serves as secretary-treasurer of the B.C. Fire Fighters Union local 730. On Wednesday, more than 500 firefighters from across B.C. marched proudly and sombrely down Belleville and Government streets for their biennial commemoration of those lost in the line of duty. Premier Christy Clark and the B.C. Professional Fire Fighters Association then unveiled a bronze fallen firefighter statue that will permanently stand on the rear legislature grounds. A national firefighters memorial was created last year in Ottawa at the site of that city’s great fire of 1900, but B.C. had no formal recognition of the sacrifices made by the province’s firefighters until now. B.C. artist Dean Lauze was commissioned by the provincial government to create the work. “It’s important for both paid and unpaid firefighters,” said Darren Blackwell, local 730 president. “It’s honouring our fallen brothers and sisters.” While more than 1,000 on-duty deaths have been documented in Canada over the past 160 years, Victoria hasn’t suffered a fatality since 1947, when Leonard Harper

Gardner That was back welcomes in 2000, when you to he worked as Cloverdale the night baker Thrifty Foods at the Fairfield store, but even in Victoria then he had his sights set on the manager’s chair. Appreciating the company’s encouragement of its employees who want to try new challenges, Gardner next became assistant bakery manager at the Broadmead store, then bakery manager in Campbell River. Taking his management skills a step further, Gardner returned to Victoria to work in the retail operations, assisting with Thrifty Foods’ expansion into North Vancouver and Abbotsford. Most recently on the Mainland as manager of the Port Moody store, Gardner was pleased to return to the Island last month as manager of the Cloverdale Thrifty Foods. “My goal was to be a store manager and it seemed to me to be a natural progression,” he says. “The thing I really like about it is building a strong team around me and the interaction with the staff and customers.” While only at the Cloverdale store for a few weeks, “this store is awesome,” he says. “It’s got a great team, it’s a nice, newly renovated store and it’s got a really strong relationship with the school next door.” It’s that staff and community-first philosophy that appealed to Gardner when he first joined the company and that stays with him today. He appreciates getting to know the many regular customers who stop at his store each day, and the relationships he’s able to build with the neighbourhood. “The Thrifty Foods culture is alive and well,” he says. “It’s how you treat people – we are in a fast-paced environment, but everyone here is coming to work with a smile on their face and working well as a team,” he says. “I look forward to coming to work every day.” That said, when not at the store, Gardner also has plenty of fun spending time with his young son and daughter, and riding his motorcycle, especially now that spring’s arrival seems imminent!
Residents pay this year for treatment CRD board elects to begin charging now to limit cost later Daniel Palmer News staff
Greater Victoria homeowners will pay for sewage treatment this year, now that Capital Regional District directors have approved the 2013 budget for the $783-million project. The average household will see an increase of $39 in Saanich, $59 in Victoria and $65 in Oak Bay at the end of the year, according to a CRD report. “What this does is smooth out some of the (financial) ramp-up on taxpayers and provides kind of a fiscal planning for them, and I think that’s a positive,” Saanich Coun. Vic Derman said at Wednesday’s board meeting. The decision to levy fees now will save the CRD $3 million in debt servicing costs. The project is expected to cost homeowners
between $232 and $353 annually by 2018. Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins, who along with Derman and Colwood Mayor Carol Hamilton opposed approval of the overall treatment project budget, said the CRD should wait a month until a panel of experts is in place to oversee the project. “I think having our expert commission view these numbers would be much more helpful in sussing this out further,” Desjardins told the board. The appointed commission will exclude elected officials, a condition of provincial funding. CRD directors have final say over budgets and major project amendments. More than $47 million will be spent in 2013 to tender design contracts for facilities at the McLoughlin Point wastewater
treatment plant, for construction work on the Craigflower pump station and for further requests for proposals. In addition to the wastewater treatment plant, a network of new sewage pipes and a biosolids energy centre will be built to meet the federal government’s compliance deadline of 2020. dpalmer@vicnews.com
Annual increases Victoria taxpayers will pay an estimated $59 on average this year ($52 in Esquimalt) as part of the regional sewage treatment cost payments. Those numbers double in 2014 and reach a high of $353 and $311, respectively, by 2018.

Tim Stockwell of the University of Victoria’s Centre for Addictions Research said a modest increase in the price of a glass of beer or liquor would bring in more revenue for the government and potentially save lives. Arnold Lim/News staff
Liquor pricing affects consumption: study Heavy drinkers, those most likely to become a statistic, would be affected most Arnold Lim News staff
A new study shows increasing the minimum cost of alcoholic beverages could save lives. Joint research by the University of Victoria, the University of Toronto and the University of Sheffield in the U.K., indicates increasing the cost of a standard drink in B.C. – defined roughly as a can of Arnold Lim beer or a small Reporting glass of wine or liquor – from approximately $1.25 to $1.50 would improve public safety and increase government profits. “We know what impact it is going to have on probable rates of admission to hospital on alcoholrelated injuries and death,” said the study’s principal investigator
Tim Stockwell. “The government (also) collects more revenue and the retailers make more money.” The research estimates 39 fewer premature deaths, 244 fewer hospital admission and more than 1,000 fewer crimes committed in B.C. after only one year of implementation, in addition to an increase of $2.8 million in provincial and $1.7 million in federal taxes. The study looked at alcoholrelated injuries and deaths, hospital admissions, crime, government revenue and alcohol expenditures for light, moderate and heavy drinkers. Stockwell, who works with UVic’s Centre for Addictions Research B.C., said their research shows heavy drinkers would be affected most with an increase of more than $200 per year, moderate drinkers would have an increase of approximately $11 per year, and light drinkers would have little extra expenditure on alcohol. “We might be out a little, but
broadly these are the numbers we would expect,” Stockwell said. “Consumption goes down a little, especially for the heavy drinkers. It doesn’t affect light drinkers, and moderate drinking doesn’t change much at all.” Norman Giesbrecht of the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto and a co-investigator on the project, said there is sufficient evidence to show that strong alcohol policies can move a long way to reducing the harm for heavy drinkers. Implementing changes wouldn’t involve any significant additional training or financing for businesses or inspectors for government, he said. “Compared to other things, such as changing the system ... pricing lends itself administratively to being efficient,” Giesbrecht said. “It is (also) much wider in scope and range than some other measures which would also be important but would be more focused.” But Giesbrecht cautioned against considering any single solution as a magic bullet to fix alcohol-related
problems. “There are other tools in the pricing area that also need to be considered, the average price should keep pace with the cost of living,” he added. Giesbrecht also thinks the price of alcoholic beverages should also be linked to the strength of the alcohol. “I should not be able to pay the same amount for an eight per cent beer as for a 3.5 per cent beer. It just encourages intoxication.” While the information is out there, Stockwell said it is up to the public and the politicians to decide what is most important before making an informed decision. “It depends on one’s priority,” he said. “Is it for saving lives and preventing people from getting injured? Or is one’s greater priority is on freedom and liberty and people having access to cheap alcohol? We have a democratic society, we are (just) doing (our) bit to put that information out there.” alim@vicnews.com

Victoria councillors are fighting a decision by the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority not to appoint their newest nominee to oversee the harbour authority. Last week, the GVHA board told Coun. Shellie Gudgeon she lacked the skill set necessary to serve as one of 10 appointed directors, despite receiving unanimous endorsement from her fellow councillors. “We’re running a harbour, so we want specific skills around cruise and tourism, terminals and transportation and the general marine sector and marinas,” said GVHA chair Bill Wellburn. Several councillors publicly expressed concern over a 2011 bylaw change that allows the

GHVA to accept or reject nominees to the board. Prior to the change, member agencies were able to appoint board members without being challenged. “This is an unelected board declining the appointment of an elected official,” Gudgeon said. “This isn’t about personalities, this is about democracy.” Wellburn said the model works well to serve competing interests and municipalities are still able to challenge any decisions at quarterly general meetings. “There’s not many places, although we live on the tip of an Island, where commerce is conducted between land and sea,” he said. “We are a business that I see as an economic engine for the region.” The GVHA board is holding a closed-door meeting today (Feb. 15) to consider a motion from Coun. Ben Isitt that would once again allow individual agencies to have final say over their appointed board members. dpalmer@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW
Tourism strategy must be regional Efficiency is a buzzword around government these days, as it is in the private sector. In B.C. that scenario isn’t expected to end any time soon, regardless which party settles into office after the May provincial election. The beleaguered tourism industry in Greater Victoria and the rest of the province continue to be subject to such funding restraints. With sluggish economies prompting people to spend less on travel, local tourism promoters must get even more creative in marketing the area to potential visitors. That doesn’t necessarily mean coming up with more grabby slogans – remember Tourism Victoria’s “Your search for the perfect orgasm is over” campaign? It means looking at new ways of doing more with less. Time will tell whether the Liberals’ creation of Destination B.C. is just pre-election window dressing or a serious effort to enhance the marketing efforts of the many regional and community destination marketing organizations in the province. In the meantime, local and regional groups can take steps to improve their own lot by teaming with neighbouring organizations to market Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland better. Rather than waiting for the post-2010 Olympics ripple to come, why not work together to remind the visitors who came to Vancouver and Whistler, but were focused on the Games, how great our region is? Tourism Victoria has done a good job attracting people here from relatively nearby locales – Western Canada and the U.S. West Coast. But at a time when gaining a share of people’s limited travel budgets is becoming more difficult and competitive, a consistent, joint action plan – perhaps one that casts the net farther – could attract new visitors and provide enough stimulus to help get everyone through the lean times. We can’t expect government to lay all the groundwork for the industry and create a perfect environment for entrepreneurship. That has to be done by businesspeople who see opportunities and work hard to create a place for themselves in an industry that continues to be one of B.C.’s biggest economic generators.

notes the government doesn’t even have a handle on some of the financial implications of its policies. “The government does not know the actual cost of its support to the fossil fuel sector,” he reports. He added it has no idea how much its sector-by-sector approach to greenhouse gas emissions will cost either, even though that was a replacement for the Kyoto Protocol, which the government bailed on, arguing it was too expensive. The government has also steadfastly refused to consider putting a price on carbon, through a carbon tax and/or cap-and-trade, even though economists point to the ever-growing mountain of evidence that those are effective ways to reduce carbon emissions. With an expected doubling of fracking wells, from 200,000 to 400,000, and tripling of tanker traffic off the West Coast, we can’t afford such a lax approach. Our prime minister has responded mostly with slogans and platitudes, but others in government say the issues will be addressed. For the sake of our country’s future, we must demand that they keep that promise and recognize the role the environment commissioner has in analyzing Canada’s environmental practices and recommending improvements. Given our government’s record of ignoring scientific evidence and gutting environmental laws and programs, it will have to do a lot more to convince Canadians that it doesn’t see environmentalists and environmental regulation simply as impediments to fossil fuel development. editor@vicnews.com

Sewage treatment plant could work on West Shore Chair Denise Blackwell and the Core Area Liquid Waster Management Committee recently agreed that they did not necessarily have the best plan and asked for ideas for any better strategies for the Capital Regional District. Here’s a great one. Albert Head, a federally owned property of more than 52 hectares has a “no restriction” land-use designation and would easily hold a secondary sewage treatment plant. Underwater, Albert Head is five to six kilometres from current pumping stations. By altering the direction of the current outflow pipes from south (to the straits) to west to the Albert Head peninsula, the controversial harbour entrance site, with its multiple risk factors, including the massive
dig under the water of the harbour entrance, is eliminated. Also eliminated is the need for 17 km of pressurized piping through parkland, municipal and residential land and infrastructure, to the barely adequate, time-limited Hartland landfill and back. Albert Head is a wooded, remote acreage that allows room for on-site sludge treatment/disposal and is ideally located for the cleaned water dispersal into the straits. Engineering would ensure the proper underwater pipe-pressure requirements are fitted, plus earthquake measures and damage prevention are installed. Plans could allow for the future construction of a sewage treatment plant that would support further growth of the
West Shore. The plans could also be designed for future innovation in the science of sewage disposal, whereby pharmaceuticals and heavy metals are removed and benefits to Metchosin are realized, by altering sewage for use as fertilizer in the crop industry in the rural ranch/farm municipality. I believe this is a viable, cost-effective alternative using federal land effectively. It would satisfy the many considerable complaints regarding poor land use; expensive, disruptive and massive construction; financial over-runs and future maintenance requirements for what soon could be obsolete sewage disposal practices.

Readers respond: Mental illness, PM, Doyle Stigma perpetuated by mainstream media Re: Mental illness costs sizeable (Our View, Jan. 23) This kind of incendiary content is at the heart of the problem when it comes to the scandalous underfunding of mental health services. “Political will” to start properly funding a “broader spectrum of care for those battling mental illness” is totally dependent on citizen engagement and pressure on governments to act. After reading about mentally ill individuals involved in “serious attacks on others and even murder,” “murdering” mom, “incidents of violence” and “stabbing an innocent boy,” no sane person will call their MLA to demand increased funding to help these villains. Our media is largely to blame for perpetuating the harmful and destructive myth that mental illness equals violence. These false beliefs are at the core of the terrible stigma about mental illness that keeps communities stuck in ignorance. This demonization of the mentally ill thwarts any progressive movement to get better funding, programs and services for people afflicted with debilitating illnesses. The media must take a more reasoned and informed role in reporting about mental illness. The facts cannot be disputed: the vast majority of incidents of violent behaviour are not committed by people who are
mentally ill. And the very low percentage of people who do commit violent acts is exactly the same in the mentally ill population as in the general population, two per cent. I would love to see more stories about the many talented, amazing people with mental illnesses who are giving so much to this community. They are the rule, not the exception.

Canada’s PM hasn’t done such a bad job Here is a message for all of those who constantly find fault with the prime minister and our Conservative government. We give away billions of dollars every year to countries that never help themselves. Billions in wars that never end, because of the hatred warring factions have for each other’s religion. Losing young men in needless wars. Obviously, Stephen Harper has done something right, when Canada is the only country to survive the mess in the financial world. Imagine having the NDP and how their supporters love to strike, or the Liberals who have no idea what fiscal responsibility is. Canada cannot be responsible for every nation that continues to fight year after year. Our prime minister has taken care of Canada brilliantly. Eileen Nattrass Central Saanich

“There’s totally enough stuff to do in the Capital Region. But we need to have the transportation infrastructure in place and we don’t.” Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce CEO Bruce Carter said more needs to be done at all levels of government to reinvigorate the local tourism industry. A lack of stable, long-term tourism marketing funding from both the provincial and federal government is hampering the industry, he said. “Even city council has a role to play. If we want to have a look at new tourism attractions, we need to look at attracting those and finding ways to approve them (at the local level),” Carter said. The two leaders offered joint support for the Canadian Chamber of Commerce’s Top 10 barriers to competitiveness, released this week. Those included the high cost of air travel, a lack of sales tax breaks for visitors and the difficulty acquiring travel visas from certain foreign countries. dpalmer@vicnews.com

A positive outlook, good physical and mental health along with Ånancial security are the keys to active aging, says a report from the National Seniors Council. The May 2010 report on volunteering among seniors and positive and active aging found the two are closely related. “The most difÅcult challenge to meet for people who are aging is isolation and loneliness and how to break that cycle,” said Sidney councillor Marilyn Loveless, who sat on the National Seniors Council for three years. “Volunteering is a way to do that.” Productive, active participation in all aspects of economic, social and community life; self-reliance; recognition as an actively contributing member of society; a positive
outlook about self and future; good physical and mental health and ability to function; mutually supportive social relationships; Ånancial security a safe and supportive environment to live and work; and the availability of adequate services and support were all found to be instrumental in keeping those past retirement age happy and healthy. One of the best ways to achieve these goals is to volunteer, the study found. “One of the facts that interested me the most in the study is a recognition that trying to pigeonhole people into groups based on age does not necessarily provide the best service to those people.

Actor at home on Victoria stage Megan Cole News staff
With a career spanning more than 35 years, including touring theatre productions and voice acting work, working at home in Victoria is an exciting opportunity for actress Tracey Moore. This is the first time in more than 10 years that Moore has worked in the city she calls home. “I get up in the morning and walk to work,” she said with a smile. “There are no ferries, planes, long car rides. I couldn’t be more thrilled.” Moore is part of the upcoming production at the Belfry Theatre, Helen’s Necklace, but she is no stranger to the Belfry stage. Last year, Moore took the stage as part of Home is a Beautiful Word, and she is happy to be back on stage in Fernwood. “There is so much to like about

Tracey Moore, right, and Lee Majdoub run through scenes of Helen’s Necklace before opening night at the Belfry Theatre. it,” she said. “It’s easy to be creative because when there is stress, you have to work around the stress to be able to pull things to use for
your work. So when everyone gets along – like they do at the Belfry – you can really just get down to work.”
Helen’s Necklace takes place in a Middle Eastern city where, Helen, a Canadian, tries to retrace her steps in the hopes of finding a lost necklace. Throughout the story, Helen is brought face to face with the realities of a war-torn city and the many impacts of loss. With characters like Sailor Moon, Share Bear from the Care Bears and Anne from Anne of Green Gables as part of her past works, Moore has found more to connect with in Helen. “Helen, I would say, would not be foreign to a lot of women in Victoria,” she said. “She’s an interesting character in literature that we now see emerging.” Moore said in the past female characters have typically been “maidens, mothers or crones,” but now roles like Helen portray a woman who stands on her own and experiences the world on her own terms.
Moore shares the stage with Lee Majdoub who plays Nabil. While Moore hadn’t worked with the production’s director James Fagan Tait, she knew both Tait and the Belfry’s artistic director Michael Shamata from the early years of her career. “(Shamata) is a long term friend and so is Tait,” she said. “We knew each other when we were all starting out in the east. We’d all crossed paths many times but we’ve never worked together. … Then Helen’s Necklace came up and Tait was going to direct it. I love (Tait), he’s brilliant and fun, so I jumped at the chance to come in and audition. It all worked out and I couldn’t be more thrilled.” Helen’s Necklace runs until March 3 at the Belfry’s Studio A.

Is stress affecting your love life? Increase Libido and Energy with Maca! Between work, family, household tasks and the thousand other things you’re responsible for, is “not tonight dear” becoming your motto? Stress often goes hand in hand with a plummeting sex drive. Stress affects your hormones and if they are out of kilter, not only is your sex life affected but it can also lead to adrenal fatigue with the accompanying symptoms of cravings, fatigue, weight gain, poor sleep, moodiness and more…
Pretty show Director Christine Willes takes on Neil LaBute’s Reasons to be Pretty, an examination of the modern obsession with external appearance told through four 20-something blue collar workers. It’s also a play with great writing for women, Willes said. “There’s beauty with the kind of generos-
ity that we all admire in human beings, like kindness and generosity and ethics,” she said. “We’re constantly reminded that somebody can be externally beautiful and not so nice on the inside.” Reasons to be Pretty is on at UVic’s Phoenix Theatre until Feb. 23. editor@oakbaynews.com

Slowing Grizz hold first Vernon Vipers’ Dexter Dancs slams into Victoria Grizzlies’ David Mazurek as they struggle to pursue a loose puck during BC Hockey League action Sunday at Wesbild Centre. Natalia Vignola Black Press
The Vernon Vipers bit back at the Victoria Grizzlies with a 3-2 win in Vernon on Sunday, Feb. 10. It was payback from the Grizzlies’ 1-0 shutout of the Vipers in Victoria last month. It was also the Grizzlies second regulation loss in February, something that hadn’t happened in 2013 until Feb. 8, when the Grizz fell to the Langley Chiefs 6-3. Regardless, the Grizzlies (32-11-0-6) are 3-2-1 in February and remain first in the B.C. Hockey League with 70 points. Next are the Penticton Vees with 67 points. Scoring in the loss for the Grizz were a couple of ex-Vipers. Turner Lawson was stymied by Vipers goalie Danny Todoyschuk on two solid scor-
ing chances, but buried a low wrister from 12 feet midway through the second period, his sixth of the year. Pearce Eviston, who was traded by the Vipers a month ago, dangled and went low on a Victoria powerplay five minutes later. Lawson played 50 games as a shut-down defenceman for Vernon last year, and is enjoying a solid role on right wing with Bill Bestwick’s aggressive Grizzlies. “At the start of the year, I was still kind of trying to figure out the finer things of forward. I think I’m kind of getting the hang of it later in the season here so hopefully I’ll be really good for playoffs,” said Lawson. It’s a completely different hand of cards for the 19-yearold, who could just as easily be
on the Vipers (16-23-1-7), a team outside the playoffs, looking in. Instead, he’s atop the league. “I’m really surprised actually,” Lawson said. “I thought it was going to be a really big year for (the Vipers), especially hosting RBC next year.” The Grizz host the Alberni Valley Bulldogs Saturday night, 7:15 p.m. at Bear Mountain Arena.
Royals swap injuries Alex Gogolev is out but Logan Nelson is day-to-day and could return this weekend for the Victoria Royals. The Royals are in Red Deer tonight, Calgary on Saturday and Edmonton on Sunday. -With files from Kevin Mitchell/Vernon Morning Star sports@vicnews.com

Island league’s wild move Wild Card Game Sunday at the Bear Travis Paterson News staff
Go Kerry Park Islanders, go. That’s the sentiment to be shared when players from the Peninsula Panthers, Saanich Braves and Victoria Cougars stand in audience to cheer the Islanders versus the Campbell River Storm in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League’s first ever Wild Card Game on Sunday. Puck drop is 1:30 p.m. at Bear Mountain Arena followed by the VIJHL’s awards ceremony. The Wild Card Game gives the South division’s fifth place team, the Islanders, the chance to steal the playoff spot owned by the North division’s fourth place team, the Storm. The reason the south teams will be cheering the Islanders is because the Wild Card Game will also decide home advantage in the VIJHL final. If the Islanders win, whatever team represents the South division in the Brent Patterson Memo-
rial final gets the extra home game. And with just one regulation loss in 47 of the 48-game schedule, the defending champion Cougars are the favourite to be that team. If Campbell River wins on Sunday, however, then there will be some deep breaths coming from the Cougars’ dressing room before the day is done. “The league is looking for innovative ways to structure the playoffs,” Cougars president and governor Gary Boyer said. “At times the league had toyed with making our all (VIJHL All-Star Classic) the home ice decider for the final, just like Major League Baseball. “I can say the (Cougars’) coaching staff and players are a lot more passionate about it than I am.” It looks obvious that the Cougars would be against the new feature coming in for this season, as they are head and shoulder above the rest of the league, Boyer said. “In hind sight it’s not the best news for us. But take us out of the equation and the rest of the teams aren’t that far apart in the standings.”
IN BRIEF
In other words, Boyer is supporting it for now. Perhaps a day will come again when the Cougars are not the most dominating junior hockey team in Canada, in respect to their league. As for having rival players together in the stands for Sunday’s match, the common goal should keep them all at bay. Let’s hope a win by the Storm doesn’t upset the precarious balance.
Braves draw Wolves The Cougars will face the Panthers and the Braves will face the Wolves in the South division’s first round playoff series. The Cougars and Panthers game times were yet to be announced at press time. The Braves will host Game 1 vs. the Wolves Monday, Feb. 18, 7:30 p.m. at George Pearkes Arena. Game 2 is expected to be Wednesday, Feb. 20, at Bear Mountain Arena but is to be determined. Game 3 is Friday, Feb. 22, at Pearkes. The full schedule for both series will be online soon at vicnews.com, where an update of the Braves season is also available. A full preview of both series is coming Feb. 22. sports@vicnews.com
Stingers bite Roadrunners Parker Phillips potted 27 as the Stellys Stingers (1-9) won their first game of the season, 71-65 over the Reynolds Roadrunners (1-9) on Tuesday. Justin Atwal led Reynolds with 17 points. Liam Horne scored 25 as the Oak Bay Bays (9-1) won 65-59 over the Claremont Spartans (8-2). Erik Spaven posted 27 as his Belmont Bulldogs beat the Mount Doug Rams 71-48. Girls and boys AA basketball city finals go this weekend with the girls at Brentwood College in Mill Bay.

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.
It’s so easy to get started… call

BC’S EYEWEAR HEADQUARTERS!
Premier Christy Clark kicked off the pre-election legislature session Tuesday with a pledge to establish a new fund from natural gas exports to support social programs and pay down debt. The main purpose of the “British Columbia Prosperity Fund” will be to pay down debt, starting in 2017 when the first liquefied natural gas facilities begin to ship LNG for export from the northern coast to Asian markets. It will be funded by a tax on LNG exports, as well as gas producers’ corporate taxes and traditional natural gas royalty revenues. The new fund is patterned after Alberta’s Heritage Fund, set up in 1976 as a legacy for Alberta’s oil and gas revenues. The B.C. fund would receive an estimated $100 billion from LNG revenues over 30 years, based on an assumption of five LNG production facilities exporting gas from the Kitimat-Prince Rupert region. The plan was presented in the throne speech delivered

Tuesday by Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon, to open a four-week legislature session leading up to the May 14 provincial election. The key task for the B.C. Liberal government in that session is to pass legislation returning the provincial sales tax to B.C. effective April 1, and the speech hinted at relieving that tax as one use for the new fund. “Whether it is eliminating the provincial sales tax, or making long-term investments in areas like education or vital infrastructure that strengthen communities – these are the kinds of opportunities the B.C. Prosperity Fund can provide,” the speech says.

with its heavily advertised jobs plan, with little mention of forestry, mining, tourism, film and TV production or high technology. The government missed its natural gas revenue targets in a budget update six months ago, so projecting LNG revenues many years in the future is questionable at best, he said. The government estimates that if B.C.’s LNG mega-project develops as expected, and all of the fund’s revenues are directed to debt reduction, B.C.’s $56 billion debt could be paid off within a decade. The province currently pays about $2.5 billion a year in interest on the debt. There has been a rush of international investment interest in northeastern B.C.’s shale gas deposits. Companies include Mitsubishi Corp., Shell Canada, China National Petroleum Corporation and Petronas, a transnational gas player owned by the government of Malaysia. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

The cars lined up to enter the NBC Studios in Burbank California.
7,000 kilometres on dream road tour They got bumped out of the Tonight Show only because Jay Leno was interviewing U.S. president Barack Obama. The occupants of 14 hot rods driven by enthusiasts from ALYN EDWARDS Vancouver’s North CLASSIC Shore got into the show RIDES the next night. They drove right into Burbank, stowed their hot rods in the NBC parking lot, were ushered into the green room to be feted with buffet food, had their own special section to take in the show and got their photo taken on stage with Tonight Show host and fellow classic car fan Jay Leno. The group from North and West Vancouver wore uniform red T-shirts emblazoned with North Shore Rod & Customs, Vancouver, B.C., Canada. They had the time of their lives. They had set out last October for a 7,000-kilometre swing down the West Coast as far as San Diego, visiting a dozen hot rod shops and private collections. They would join the last leg of the Streetrodder Magazine national tour involving 100 cars. Their final destination was the Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas – the Holy Grail of car culture events. The average age of the North Shore hot rodders on the tour was 65. The average age of their cars was 70. The only rule required each participant to drive their cars. No ‘trailer queens’ allowed. The oldest hot rodder was West Vancouver’s Jerry Abramson, who is 80. He drove his Chevrolet V8-powered 1932 Ford three-window coupe hot rod with co-pilot and fellow enthusiast Gord Gowland. “I had one like this in the ‘50s and decided that I really liked it, so I bought a finished hot rod to travel in,” he says. “The tour was really well organized and a lot of fun but the guys

drove a little slow for me.” The tour was organized by Al McGillivray, who retired from 30 years in auto sales and leasing to build and drive his pro street customized 1967 Chevy II with a 400 horsepower engine. He was assisted by retired pipefitter Tom Southern who drove his 1928 Ford Model A Ford hot rod. Al had done a tour by himself in 2009, visiting shops en route through the West Coast states. He and Tom did two subsequent tours and then mapped out the entire route for the 2012 tour. They arranged stops at iconic hot rod shops like Jim Meyer Racing Products in Lincoln City, Or., Bruce Canepa Design in Santa Cruz, Ca., Don Orosco’s shop in Monterey and Hollywood Hot Rods in Burbank, Ca. They also set up

restaurant and overnight stops. The tour went off like clockwork. The group joined the much larger Streetrodder Magazine tour in Burbank following the Tonight Show visit and headed south to San Diego, east to Phoenix and then north to Las Vegas. They would drive up to 500 kilometeres a day. That tour opened doors to amazing private hot rod and custom car collections and hospitality that went beyond anyone’s expectations. “When we arrived at Lake Havasu in Arizona, the local club put on a special downtown show in our honour with 500 cars,” Al McGillivray says. “We couldn’t have been treated better.”

Fewer than one-third of Canadian drivers are familiar with common vehicle safety features brainonboard.ca now available to help Canadians learn more about safety technology and safe driving METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
Although consumers identify safety as a priority when purchasing a new car, the majority of Canadians reportedly have limited awareness of how vehicle safety features work. In an effort to change that, the Traffic Injury Research Foundation (TIRF) and the Toyota Canada Foundation have launched Brain on Board, a public education program to engage Canadians to learn more about modern vehicle safety features, dispelling myths about how they work and reminding drivers that know more about their vehicle’s safety technology will help them to be safer drivers.
Brain on Board is designed to engage drivers, helping them learn more about modern safety features, what these technologies can and cannot do and how knowledgeable drivers can make the most of them. Through this program, the Toyota Canada Foundation and TIRF hope to reduce accidents by encouraging smarter driving habits across Canada. At www.brainonboard.ca Canadians will find a variety of easy-to-use tools ranging from plain language descriptions of common safety features, details about the human factors that contribute to safe driving and other educational materials. The foundation for Brain on Board is a national research initiative,

Vehicle Safety Features: Knowledge, Perceptions, and Driving Habits, led by TIRF and funded by the Toyota Canada Foundation. The largest study of its kind in Canada, the researchers asked 2,506 Canadians from across the country 120 questions to assess knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of vehicle safety and safety features, and the impact these have on driving habits. When asked about their own driving in terms of safety, the majority of Canadian drivers rated themselves 8/10 while rating their fellow motorists 5/10. When purchasing a vehicle, safety (15.6 per cent) is a top priority for Canadians, ranking second behind price (29 per cent) and ahead of fuel

consumption (13.2 per cent) and reliability (6.1 per cent). Canadians are not familiar with the majority of safety features: With the exception of ABS and traction control, less than one-third of Canadian drivers were familiar with various other modern safety features such as adaptive headlights and collision warning systems. Despite this lack of awareness, the majority report they believe safety features would be easy to use. Knowing about safety features makes for safer drivers: When asked about the different safety features, a majority of Canadians drivers said they would use them if their vehicle had them.

Subaru will unveil the Subaru VIZIV concept vehicle at the 83rd Geneva International Motor Show in March. It represents Subaru’s future design direction and vision for technological innovation. The VIZIV is a future-generation crossover concept designed to embody the Subaru brand’s values of ‘Enjoyment and Peace of Mind.’ The name VIZIV is inspired by the phrase ‘Vision for Innovation’ and expresses Subaru’s commitment to innovation across its range of all-wheel drive models. Alongside the new concept vehicle, the new Subaru Forester will make its European debut at Geneva. The Subaru Outback will also be on show at Geneva, its 2.0-litre Boxer diesel engine now paired with Lineartronic transmission for the first time, to give smoother gear shifting.
