Terror suspects more ‘disgruntled’ than political: expert Alleged Canada Day bomb plot targeted B.C. legislature Daniel Palmer News staff

Heavy lifting Pacific Coast Weightlifting’s Rachel Siemens of Victoria competes at the B.C. Weightlifting Association’s 41st annual Sea Festival Open in Surrey on June 30. Siemens finished second in the women’s 75-kilogram weight class. She matched first place Prabdeep Sanghera in the clean and jerk at 110 kgs but was a few kilos shy of Sanghera in the snatch lift. Siemens, a UVic grad, ranked second at the Western Canadian Championships this year and is hoping to represent Canada at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. For more on Siemens, please turn to Page A17.

In the midst of Canada Day fanfare Monday, an inconspicuous couple strolled the grounds of the B.C. legislature with pressure cookers full of shrapnel and what they believed were active explosives. The bombs were hidden near the legislature building and left to detonate amongst 40,000 revellers. According to the RCMP, John Stewart Nuttall, 39, and Amanda Marie Korody, 29, had committed to their intended day of terror in early March, settling on Nuttall’s former hometown of Victoria during a national holiday for the senseless act. But unbeknownst to the Surrey couple, their every move – from site selection to bomb making to their retreat back to the Lower Mainland – had been meticulously monitored under the watchful eye of the RCMP and other federal intelligence agencies. At a press conference Tuesday, RCMP Asst. Commissioner. James Malizia refused to say if undercover officers were working with the duo, but admitted the improvised explosive devices were under police control at all times. If proven in court, perhaps the most unsettling aspect of Nuttall’s and Korody’s descent into indiscriminate violence is their “self-radicalization” in the absence of clear political motivation or
connection to a terrorist network, said University of Victoria professor Scott Watson, an expert in international terrorism. “This seems to be an escalation of criminality or criminal violence, not necessarily an escalation of political protest,” Watson said, after reviewing Nuttall’s convictions for mischief, robbery, weapons possession, assault and parole violations throughout the Capital Region since 1997. Korody has no criminal record. Most people who commit terrorist acts become involved in social and political movements, but the Canada Day suspects “appear to be two disgruntled Canadians who have read alQaeda material online and then have decided to take this type of action,” Watson said. Police said the pair were “inspired by al-Qaeda ideology,” and neighbours in Surrey reported hearing Nuttall shouting about jihad on the phone. “Likely very early on, these people were operating in online networks and likely triggered the attention of (the Canadian Security Intelligence Service) or perhaps U.S. intelligence networks. From that point on, it appears as though the Canadian authorities were out in front,” Watson said. Last May, the federal government released a 2011 review that studied the root causes of radicalization, only to conclude there were few “smoking gun” factors that led people to commit terrorist acts.

Fraudster jailed for 18 months Laura Lavin News staff
Sharon Tiffin/News staff
Pat Soliman, left, Mabel Dunn and Jayne Hemming take part in Canada Day activities at the B.C. legislature grounds on Monday. Thousands celebrated in the Inner Harbour and B.C. legislature area.
Oh, what a party! Thousands of people made their way to the Inner Harbour and the B.C, legislature lawn Monday to celebrate Canada’s 146th birthday, in one of Victoria’s biggest celebrations of the year. Celebrants were treated to a party atmosphere in a fun-filled family event that included food, entertainment and fireworks. Victoria police had a second successful year using social media to crowdsource non-emergency requests for help, said Const. Mike Russell. “There were lots of reports on Twitter using #VicPDHelps. We got about 13 different calls that we were able to action,” he said. While most reports related to public drunkenness, VicPD officers were able to reconnect two lost children with their families using social media, Russell said.
A man who bilked tens of thousands of dollars from seniors around the region pleaded guilty to eight counts of fraud and was handed 18 months in jail. Kevin Thomas Gordon of Victoria, 38, scammed seniors by going door-to-door and offering power-washing, painting or driveway resealing services. Among the victims was an 88-year-old Saanich man, whose credit and debit cards Gordon stole, and charged upwards of $15,000 on the cards. He defrauded an 85-year-old woman in Saanich for about $900 for pressure-washing services that were never completed. He also scammed a Oak Bay resident out of $1,220 who paid up front for driveway resealing, but he didn’t return to do the work. A joint investigation in 2012 by the Oak Bay police, Saanich police and Central Saanich police determined Gordon was responsible for a series of similar frauds across Greater Victoria. He pleaded guilty to two charges of theft from incidents in Colwood; fraud over $5,000, using a stolen credit card and fraud under $5,000 from incidents in Saanich; and three charges of fraud under $5,000 from incidents in Oak Bay, Victoria and Saanichton. “This is a file that our detective section took an active interest in from the start,” said Oak Bay police Chief Mark Fisher. “In this instance the offender actually took the victim to the bank to get cash from her account before doing the work. This type of exploitation of the elderly is despicable. The investigators were pleased to see the offender receive a significant sentence in this instance.” Nanaimo RCMP arrested Gordon on July 14, 2012, a few days after security guards allegedly caught him trying to defraud the Wal-Mart at Uptown, but where he ran off still wearing handcuffs. Last Thursday in Victoria provincial court, Gordon received an 18-month sentence, and was ordered to make restitution upon his eventual release, as a condition of the court imposed probation. editor@oakbaynews.com

Craigflower Bridge project scrambles to find steel Craigflower Bridge faces delays as U.S. stimulus spending snaps up steel stocks Kyle Wells News staff
Work on the new $13-million Craigflower Bridge is forging ahead, but a North American steel shortage has the potential to slow down progress. Much of the in-water work is nearing completion, including the completion of two cofferdams (a
temporary dry enclosure in water). Piles on the south abutment are drilled and ready for cement. Piling work has also started in the inlet. Crews are working six days a week to stay on schedule. The original 80-year-old, 110metre bridge is now 90 per cent removed. The pedestrian bridge is open and well used, said Saanich capital projects manager Jim Hem-
stock. “People seem to really like it, it’s so much better than the old one.” On Admirals Road, about 300 metres of sidewalk has been built, out of a total of about 650 metres. Underground work, such as sewer and water, is nearly finished. “It’s clicking along,” Hemstock said. “The (bridge) foundation is coming along well. The steel is the issue.” A steel shortage in the U.S. and Canada is making it difficult to find the materials needed to construct
the actual bridge span. “I understand it is Barack Obama’s fault,” Hemstock joked. “(With) stimulus spending – every freeway is getting a new bridge. They’re going nuts spending money on infrastructure in the States.” As an example of the demand, Hemstock said the bridge contractor, Don Mann Construction, had steel lined up, but another company came in and snapped up the entire mill run, 2,000 tons of steel. Two-hundred tons of steel is
required for the bridge. The steel was supposed to be here by now, but there is enough work to keep the job moving ahead. Once the steel is secured and it arrives, it will take three or four months to build the span, which is being done in Duncan. Hemstock hopes for an update on the steel in the next few weeks, and also a revised schedule based on the steel status. Check out craigflowerbridge. com for updates. editor@vicnews.com

Capitol 6 on selling block
Show goes on at University Heights as Empire Co. unloads theatres Kyle Wells News staff
The longstanding Capitol 6 cinema will likely fade to black in the wake of the Empire Company selling off its theatres, while finding no buyer for the Victoria landmark. For the moviegoing public of Victoria, a city which has largely avoided the closure of older multiplex style of theatres, the news is hard to take, even if expected. “It’s one that I went to as a kid. … I went with my late, great dad to double-bills there in the ‘80s and ‘90s,” said local freelance film writer Jason Whyte. “(It’s not) as busy as it used to be. … We all saw it coming. I’m surprised it lasted this long, but I mean, it’s sad.” Empire Company, based out of Nova Scotia, has sold 26 theatres
in Eastern Canada and Ontario to Cineplex Inc. and a further 20 theatres in Ontario and Western Canada to Landmark Cinemas, including the Empire Theatres fourplex at the University Heights Shopping Centre in Saanich. Andrew Walker, vice president of communications and corporate affairs for Empire, confirmed that University Heights will be sold to Landmark, and Empires Theatre Victoria (the current name of the Capitol 6) will be put up for sale, though he could not say exactly when theatre operations would end. “That’s one of the theatres we expect to realize some real estate value from over time,” Walker said. “Eventually it’d be sold.” In a press release, Empire Company said it’s selling off its theatres to focus on its

Walker would not speak to the financial status of the Victoria cinemas. The Capitol 6, opened in 1981, is one of two cinemas in Canada not included in the deal with Landmark or Cineplex. The other is in New Glasgow, N.S.

Victoria. So the theatre has a lot of history,” Whyte said. “It still has the biggest movie theatre in all of Greater Victoria, the big Theatre 2 holds about 500 seats.” In recent years the out-of-fashion multiplex style of cinemas have been rapidly closing in the wake of the larger megaplexes, which have more screens and amenities. Until now, Victoria has been an exception to the rule. In Vancouver many cinemas have closed, including the mainstay Granville 7, which screened its last film this past November. The last theatre to close completely in Victoria was the Haida Theatre on Yates Street, which shut down in 1992. The Vic Theatre closed as a regular cinema in 2008 but is now an important venue for the Victoria Film Festival and other screenings. The Capitol 6 has also been a primary venue for the film festival, which will have to adapt if the closure goes through. The building is also home to the festival’s office, which could also be affected. “If it closes, it is two of our venues, so it means we’ll have to be looking out,” said festival director Kathy Kay, who remains optimistic about the future. “Anytime there’s a change, you have to respond. I often find if you hold on too tightly then you don’t allow for something new to happen.” As he did with the Granville 7 in Vancouver, Whyte plans to be the last person to leave the Capitol 6 when it closes. “I will be there on the last day, I’ll be the last person to leave the Capitol,” Whyte said. Management at Empires Theatre Victoria could not be reached for comment. reporter@vicnews.com

Shoreline grows with garden project Middle school students getting used to eating salads, greens Don Descoteau News staff
Don Descoteau/News staff
Shoreline Community middle school student Lucas Roos, 11, waters strawberry plants in the newly planted garden at the school, while teacher sponsors for the project, Cam Thurvide and Vicki Walker, look on. Lucas will be doing the watering through the summer.
Lucas Roos can’t quite remember how old he was when he first spied a nasturtium in his family’s garden, picked it, then chomped away on the colourful orange flower. He’s been eating them ever since and can’t wait until the edible plants can be harvested from the new garden on the grounds of Shoreline Community middle school. “I eat them plain,” says Lucas, 11, who just finished Grade 6.
Students patiently wait for principal Kim Strom to say a few words and elders from the Songhees Nation to bless the garden before filing down to the cafeteria for an end-ofschool enchilada lunch with, you guessed it, a salad bar. Asked what he thinks of the garden idea, Lucas looks over at the collection of young apple trees, raised beds stocked with vegetable, herb and fruit seedlings, and hanging garden pockets stuffed with nasturtium and strawberry plants. “I think it’s great.” Three days a week during the summer, he’ll ride his bike or scooter down the hill from his home in View Royal, unlock the gate to the chainlink-fenced enclosure, and fill up his watering can with the onsite rain barrels to water the
Viewfield Road sewage site axed As a result of overwhelming public opposition, Capital Regional District directors Wednesday unanimously abandoned the possibility of a sewage sludge plant in Esquimalt’s industrial park. The CRD purchased the 1.5-hectare Viewfield Road property for $17 million in March, prior to public consultation, as a possible location for the region’s biosolids energy plant. The CRD will now likely sell the property at a loss. Businesses and residents in Esquimalt and Victoria West opposed the idea from the beginning, but the directors bowed to public pressure Wednesday after CRD staff held several open houses to gather formal feedback from residents. A majority of respondents rejected the plan. The CRD will now revert to its original plan to use Hartland landfill for the biosolids facility, while a wastewater treatment plant at McLoughlin Point awaits a zoning decision from the Township of Esquimalt. The CRD’s secondary sewage treatment project was announced in July 2012 at a cost of $783 million, split between the three levels of government. The price tag does not include the $17 million for the Viewfield site nor for associated staff time.

That participation is a continuation of the direct student involvement in this project, says Grade 6 teacher Cam Thurbide. “There were 40 kids involved in this from startup to building the boxes,” he says. “They moved about seven yards of soil and moved all the wood chips in here. They’ve probably done about 90 per cent of the work.” Strom says the garden idea grew out of the school’s three times a week soup and salad bar program (see Shoreline Food Revolution on Facebook). The school had applied for and received a Salad Bar Equipment Grant from the Public Health Association of B.C., to facilitate serving farmfresh produce to students.

Terror suspects return to court next week Public never at risk: police
Continued from Page A1
“Individuals with psychological conditions (that are often associated with criminal or anti-social activities) do not have the attention span, commitment, or course of action to conceive of and carry out terrorist activity,” conclude the authors of Radicalization in the National Economic Climate. But it appears Nuttall and Korody, both welfare recipients with methadone prescriptions, were focused strongly enough on their task to warrant the attention of the RCMP’s national anti-terrorism squad. What they did and how much violence they intended to inflict is still unclear. The pair are charged with making or possessing an explosive device, conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, and knowingly facilitating terrorist activity. Their next court appearance is July 8 in Surrey. Victoria was the site of at least one terrorist plot in the past, the Millennium bomber plot in 2000. Ahmed Ressam, an Algerian member of al-Qaeda, assembled bomb materials while staying at a Vancouver motel, then loaded them in the trunk of his car and travelled to Victoria. Ressam attempted to enter the U.S. on the MV Coho ferry from Victoria to Washington, but he was arrested by U.S. border security in Port Angeles. dpalmer@vicnews.com

RCMP Asst. Commissioner James Malizia said police were notified of the terrorist plot by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service in February and then began their own four-month investigation. Police believe the threat was real, but “at no time was the security of the public at risk," he said. The Victoria Police Department was fully aware the dud explosives were being placed at the B.C. legislature and that RCMP were monitoring the situation, said Const. Mike Russell. "The nature and extent of our contribution cannot be disclosed due to the fact that this is now before the court. We can reiterate, however, that the public was never at risk during this operation," Russell said. RCMP Asst. Commissioner Wayne Rideout said the RCMP used a variety of techniques to “monitor and control” the pair. “The suspects were committed to acts of violence and discussed a wide variety of targets and techniques,” he said. “In order to ensure public safety, we employed a variety of complex investigative and covert techniques to control any opportunity the suspects had to commit harm.”

Domestic terrorism a reality for Canada
A
mid the celebrations and fireworks Monday, Victoria suddenly found itself joined to the rarefied club of Canadian cities targeted for a high-profile terrorist attack. If the suspects had slipped under the radar and detonated pressure-cooker bombs outside the legislature during Canada Day celebrations, it could have been the worst terrorist attack in history on Canadian soil. Instead, the B.C. RCMP were able to announce two arrests – John Nuttall, a Surrey man (and former Victoria resident) with a significant criminal rap sheet, and Amanda Korody, his partner. RCMP assert both of these Canadian born-and-raised suspects were “self-radicalized” by al-Qaida influence. Nuttall has been in and out of Victoria’s courts regularly for assaults, robberies, mischief and possessing weapons. In media articles, he was described as a former drug addict and a violent enforcer when it came to collecting drug debts. He’s also described as a recent convert to Islam. Whether this pair tried to copycat the pressurecooker Boston bombings, were angry antigovernment types, or were interested in promoting an Islamic caliphate in line with al-Qaida goals (or none of the above), the fact their alleged plot was identified, infiltrated and hijacked by RCMP agents is a testament to why Canada needs intelligence agencies. Organizations like the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), which tipped off the provincial RCMP to the plot, and RCMP antiterrorism departments, almost always operate behind the scenes to ferret out domestic terrorism. It’s hard to know how many credible terror plots have been halted in Canada. Beyond oil pipeline bombings in the past, police and intelligence agencies have quashed an alleged plot to blow up a Via passenger train between Toronto and New York by two foreign men who supposedly received guidance from al-Qaida agents; and the so-called “Toronto 18,” (11 were convicted) a group of young Muslim men who plotted to blow up targets across southern Ontario with fertilizer bombs. The foiled Victoria bombing can be seen as a wake-up call to Canadians that terrorism is a reality in this country, and as analysts have predicted, attacks on civilians are not an “if” but a “when.” This is also an opportunity for a national conversation on the bounds of domestic surveillance – what will people tolerate to ensure agencies have the resources to keep Canadians safe?

From offices in Fort Victoria, colonial administrators orchestrated the spread of smallpox in indigenous communities, killing as much as 90 per cent of the population in some areas, as told by Tom Swanky in The True Story of Canada’s “War” of Extermination on the Pacific. Historian Chris Arnett also notes that Fort Victoria housed the ships which bombarded indigenous villages under the guise of justice when warriors fought back against encroachment by settlers. The brutal process of colonization continues today as we celebrate the confederation of a nation on stolen land. Today, the Harper Conservatives and B.C. Liberals have failed to bring out that ‘O Canada’ feeling in many of us. Canada is cut up and tied down as pipelines creep across the West and civil disobedience is increasingly met by mass arrests and the suspension of basic rights. I am proud of some things – I am proud that many Canadians support civil rights and the ongoing struggles of indigenous peoples. I am proud that alternative stories are being told alongside those which romanticize our history and minimize our flaws. As beer-commercial patriotism slowly gives way to honesty and self-awareness, I am proud that Canadians may soon have something worth celebrating.

Beacon Hill traffic closures mainly given thumbs up I am very pleased with the changes the City of Victoria parks department has made. There are fewer cars chasing ducks and pedestrians now. I see seniors walking hand in hand without having to be cautious and children – whole school classes of them – enjoying this peaceful park setting. Even the animals: squirrels, ducks, crows and peacocks, seem more trusting and relaxed. Most bicyclists are apparently taking care of pedestrians and animals and not racing through the park. I think this is a very positive change that should be made permanent for the pleasure of all of us. Cars that are driven into the park by people who want to enjoy the peaceful environment should be directed to the parking places provided, or the toilets and then guided out via the shortest way possible. However, this jewel in our community should not be available as a short cut for those in a hurry. Thank you, Victoria parks department. Horst Hees Victoria
Traffic changes created last year in Beacon Hill Park mean visitors like Xu Jing Qian, 81, being photographed in a tree by fellow tourists from Shanghai, need not worry about through traffic in the park.
My husband and I are so delighted with what has been done. Please keep the park more cyclist and pedestrian friendly. Dorothy Harvey Victoria Thanks for the opportunity to voice our opinion on the traffic changes in the park. I am convinced that the changes are not conducive to the general public accessing the park for leisure activities. Unless you

are very agile, the distances between the corners of the park require more vehicle access. Unless you want to spend a day exploring the park, the current access is totally inappropriate.
myVictoria This week’s online poll
Previous road routes may have served as through-access for taxis and other vehicles, so why not put in speed bumps to reduce the speed? Making the park more accessible by the
motoring traffic means more access to various portions of the park by the general public. Andre Beaudette Victoria
Readers respond: Sewage site, derelict buildings, B.C. election
Do you think terrorists see Victoria as a prime target? Yes, we should visibly beef up everyday security No, I see no reason to add to exisiting security Maybe, but only visibly enhance security at major public events such as Canada Day or B.C. Day
Last week’s question: Are you a proud Canadian? • Yes, I get misty at the playing of O Canada (61%) • No, the Harper government makes me ashamed to be Canadian (30%) • Sometimes, like when a Canadian hockey team is challenging for the Stanley Cup (9%)

Who’s affected most by sewage treatment plant? What is the effect on Esquimalt if the sewage plant is built at McLoughlin Point? It is a small piece of land behind DND with no public access. It is almost unusable except for this purpose. How is the building of the plant at this point going to affect the City of Victoria? It will be located at the entrance of Victoria harbour – a nice first impression. The prevailing winds from the southwest will also blow any odours toward the provincial capital. The inhabitants of high rises in James Bay and along the Songhees will get the best view overlooking this monument. It may be wise for the council of Victoria to review the map to see who is the most affected. Rod Lavergne Esquimalt
Let commissionaires patrol our run-down buildings Re: Derelict buildings a sad sign (Simon Natrass, June 28) In the column on derelict buildings I do not accept that there is nothing city bylaw inspectors can do.
I think the wrong people are in charge of monitoring them. There are too many parking commissionaires downtown and I have watched some of them spend a few minutes on a car measuring the distance to the curb and sighting whether the bumper goes past the line of the meter to see if there is any way they can give out a ticket. If they change the name of the department to parking and derelict buildings, the owners will soon be standing in line at city hall to get a permit to fix their buildings. John Hopper Oak Bay
True election numbers pathetic for B.C. Liberals Despite all the claims we are constantly hearing that Christy Clark’s B.C. Liberals won a strong mandate from the people of British Columbia on May 14, I think it is important to recognize that those claims are based on the flim-flam of our electoral system, rather than statistical reality. In the election, the Liberals were able to win the support of 795,943 voters, which represents just 24 per cent of the province’s 3,310,213 eligible voters. Where but in the bizarre never-
never land of our weird electoral system would 24 per cent be considered even minimally acceptable, let alone enough to serve as the basis for claiming a huge success? For example, who would go to a doctor who succeeded in only 24 per cent of his minor operations? Who would fly on an airplane with a pilot who was able to land his plane safely only 24 per cent of the time? Or who would patronize a grocer if only 24 per cent of the food he sold was safe to consume? I fully acknowledge that the B.C. Liberals won the election fair and square under the existing rules of the political game. I also recognize that the opposition parties obtained even more pathetically smaller shares of support from eligible voters: just 21.6 per cent for the NDP, 4.4 per cent for the Greens and 2.6 per cent for the Conservatives. Nonetheless, I find it quite shocking that a 24-per-cent level of achievement in the election is sufficient to take total control of the government of B.C. for four years, when it is a standard that would represent abject failure in practically any other area of human endeavour.

Pedal power helps fund MS research and programs With 537 riders already registered for this weekend’s Cowichan Valley Grape Escape, the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, South and Central Vancouver Island chapter, is looking forward to one of its best fundraisers ever. Even if you’re not one of the many cyclists two-wheeling through the picturesque Cowichan Valley landscape July 6 and 7, you can still be part of the fight to cure MS, says Ashley Hodgins, manager of development. It’s as easy as visiting msbiketours.ca where secure online donations can be made in support of participating riders. Part of the nationwide MS Bike Tour, the Grape Escape is a picturesque two-day ride through the Cowichan Valley, with several distances to accommodate different riders and numerous stops at wineries, farms and other unique destinations along the way. Proceeds from the ride directly support much-needed local programs for individuals living with multiple sclerosis and research to find a cure. Canadians have one of the highest rates of MS in the world. The most common neurological disease affecting young adults
Hundreds of cyclists will be pedalling through the Island countryside this weekend as part of the Cowichan Valley Grape Escape, one of the MS Society’s most significant fundraisers of the year. Photo contributed
in Canada, often diagnosed in young adults aged 15 to 40, MS is unpredictable, and affects vision, hearing, memory, balance and mobility. On southern Vancouver Island, volunteers and MS Society staff provide information, support, educational events and other resources for people with MS and their families. Researchers funded by the MS Society work to develop new and better treatments, and succeed in the ultimate goal: a cure for MS. In addition to the riders and
their supporters, the annual ride wouldn’t be possible without the tireless efforts of volunteers – 205 people last year contributed 1,170 hours of their time to make the ride a success, handling everything from early pledge drop-off to ride day activities. editor@vicnews.com

VICTORIA’S ULTIMATE GET OUT GUIDE
BLUE BRIDGE gets beachy

lue Bridge Repertory Theatre is bringing Brooklyn to the McPherson stage with its production of Neil Simon’s Brighton Beach Memoirs. Twenty-seven year old Amitai Marmorstein, a UVic Phoenix Theatre grad who grew up on Salt Spring Island, stars as 15-year-old Eugene Morris Jerome, the character which Simon’s semi-autobiographical tale is centred around. “He’s sort of the nucleus that all the family’s problems revolve around,” says Marmorstein, who Victoria audiences might recognize from Atomic Vaudeville’s Legoland. “Eugene also narrates the story and talks directly to the audience. I’m their way into the story.” Brighton Beach Memoirs is set in Brooklyn in 1937, but Marmorstein says it was no problem connecting to a character from another time. “The easy part being the young man is that he’s oblivious to world events. He’s more concerned with making the New York Yankees ... so in a weird way it’s timeless.” Eugene is also “hot under the collar” for his older cousin, who recently moved into his family home with her mother and younger sister. “And it’s not just the costume,” Marmorstein jokes, tugging on his sweater vest on a blistering-hot summer day in Victoria. Marmorstein was a student of Blue Bridge’s artistic director Brian Richmond at UVic’s Phoenix Theatre. He graduated in 2007 before moving to Vancouver to work. “Ever since [Blue Bridge’s] conception, I was impressed by it, even as a concept,” says Marmorstein. “There’s so much emerging talent in Victoria with CCPA (The Canadian College of Performing Arts) and UVic, it’s so great to have opportunities like this so young performers don’t have to leave Victoria.” Marmorstein played the role of Eugene last spring in Theatre North West’s production in Prince George after being turned on to the play by Legoland creator Jacob Richmond, Brian’s son. “I was complaining that I needed a monologue for an audition and Jacob suggested I read Brighton Beach Memoirs,” he says. Although he didn’t end up using it for his audition, it sparked a

art of the Galloping Goose trail will be restored to its former glory as Theatre SKAM’s fifth annual Bike Ride takes over a four-kilometre stretch for its annual outdoor festival of live performance. Crow-Matic Theatre, made up of Slim Sandy and Willa Mae, will be performing Waiting for a Train, a collection of old-timey railroad country songs live at Cecelia Ravine Park for the duration of the festival, running July 6-7, and 13-14. Cecelia Ravine Park, also known as The Hub, will function as the box office, live entertainment stage, meeting place, bike decorating area and refreshment station. Groups of 12 audience members on bicycles will depart from The Hub, leaving on short tours, viewing four 10-minute shows, each one a short distance apart along the Galloping Goose. The audience will cycle from one show to another. “If audience members arrive before 3:30 p.m., they can take in all four tours in one day,” says Matthew Payne, Theatre SKAM’s artistic producer. Two day passes are also available for those who want to spread the action out over two afternoons rather than one. This year’s festival offers 17 performance groups, ranging in experience and genre, from across Victoria and beyond. For the first time, Theatre SKAM opened up submissions to companies from outside Victoria — and they got an overwhelming response, says Payne. “There were at least half a dozen submissions from Vancouver alone,” says Payne, adding it was tough to narrow it down to only two companies (Universal Limited and The Noisy Neighbours). Bike Ride also welcomes Shakespearean rapper duo We R Here with What Noise is This from Toronto and Mead Hall Productions from Saskatoon with A Show (For Now) (with commissioning support from Persephone Theatre). Local offerings include One-Man Slam by performance poet Jeremy Loveday, MyCeliUmbrella by SNAFU Dance Theatre, Harvey and Antonia Bug Out by Gotta Getta Gimmick, The Clan Resilience: Water under the Bridge by Impulse Theatre, Olio and Opus, a tale of two giant puppets by Théâtre de Marionnette Géantes and many more. Genres range from storytelling to drama, comedy, improv, dance and other mixed genre performances, written, directed and acted by professional theatre companies.

BIKE RIDE
MARIONNETTE GÉANTES - Olio and Opus are two giant puppets and the stars of Théâtre de Marionnette Géantes’ show, one of 17 in this year’s Bike Ride outdoor festival of live performance by Theatre SKAM. Bike Ride takes place on the Galloping Goose trail July 6-7 and 13-14. With 12 shows on the trail and four at The Hub, there will be no shortage of entertainment to be found at Bike Ride. (One company is performing the first weekend and not the second, and visa versa). Advance tickets are for sale until July 5 at ticketrocket. org for $15 (that’s less than a buck a show!) or $20 on site. Two day passes are $25. Children under 12 are free.
Theatre SKAM has a few bikes available to borrow and Selkirk Station will be on hand at The Hub to rent bicycles to those without. Those interested in volunteering or loaning extra bicycles can contact Theatre SKAM at info@ skam.ca. skam.ca/bike-ride

★★★½ BEFORE MIDNIGHT -(Odeon) Richard Linklater’s third installment of the charming – and chatty – love-denied story of Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy) has lots of surprises … not least of which is that the star-crossed lovers have finally hooked up. Between the atmospheric Greek locale and the well-crafted dialogue this is a grand cine-treat for those already bored with the summer’s superhero blockbusters. THE CROODS -(Caprice) A prehistoric family taking an unexpected “road trip” into a magical land is the plot of this whimsical animated charmer (which has been getting great reviews). With the vocal talents of Emma Stone, Nicolas Cage, and Ryan Reynolds. EPIC -(Caprice) In this animated family adventure a teenage girl is magically transported to a deep forest setting where she bands together with a wacky crew of critters to help battle a terrifyingly dark force that is threatening their world . . . and ours. Note: moves from the Westshore to the Caprice on Fri. ★★½ FAST & FURIOUS 6 -(Caprice) The high-octane series continues, with ever-wilder stunts. In this outing Dom’s crew is asked to take down an ex-Special Ops soldier who has morphed into a supercriminal specializing in vehicular warfare. Starring Dwayne Johnson, Vin Diesel, and Paul Walker. ★★½ THE GREAT GATSBY -(Empire 6) Baz Luhrman (Moulin Rouge) directs a lavish, over-the-top but decidedly uninvolving screen version of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s iconic Jazz Age novel about a glamorous and mysterious millionaire on Long Island. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, and Carey Mulligan. THE HANGOVER PART III -(Caprice) All those bad boys from the Wolfpack are reunited for a final return to Vegas. As if anything could go wrong. With Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and Zach Galifianakis. By all accounts, this one is well worth avoiding. ★★½ THE HEAT -(Odeon/SilverCity/ Westshore) In this raucous and sometimes hit-and-miss comedy from Paul Feig (Knocked Up), Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids) play odd-couple cops who will have to learn to work together if they are to stand a chance of taking down the drug lord who’s their assigned target. ★★ THE INTERNSHIP -(Caprice) Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson – whose bromantic charm is running thin – play two salesmen whose careers are trashed by the digital age. Suddenly, they find themselves at Google headquarters competing with tech-savvy 20-somethings for a couple of highly-prized internships. A promising premise goes nowhere thanks to a clichéd plot and overwritten scenes. ★★★ IRON MAN 3 -(Caprice) An emotionally unbalanced Iron Man (Robert Downey) goes up against the terrifying Mandarin (Ben Kingsley), one of the more intriguing megalomaniacs of recent years. Despite being a step down from the original – and a bit long-winded and bombastic – this is an imaginative, humorous and fast-paced thrill ride. With Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle and Guy Pearce. JATT & JULIET 2 -(Empire 6) There’s not much info on this romantic comedy except to note that it is in Hindi. ★★½ MAN OF STEEL -(Empire 6/ SilverCity/Westshore) Zack Snyder (The Watchmen, 300) helms this occasionally interesting but mostly

Romancing The Bard
J
oss Wheedon has Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Toy Story as early credits, and recently earned $1.5 billion at the box office for The Avengers. this versatile and unpredictable director’s latest trick was to turn his own home into the major set for a no-budget, black-and-white version of shakespeare’s dark-tinged romantic comedy Much Ado About Nothing. set in the present day but retaining shakespeare’s original dialogue, this is an engagingly funny and charming modernization of the bard. At the core of the film are two couples with different notions of love. beatrice and benedick are very much characters out of screwball comedy: they constantly attack each other with scathing wit such that they
are clearly destined to fall in love (a prospect made all the more droll because they share a ripe disdain for the trappings of marriage). Much more traditional is the romance between Hero (beatrice’s tender-hearted cousin) and Claudio, her decent and adoring suitor who is set to marry her on the morrow. All this wooing is taking place at the estate of the princely Don Pedro, whose bastard brother has just shown up, full of hatred and conniving schemes. And so the plot rolls along, with various people in the house merrily conspiring to light the spark of love between beatrice and benedick, at the same time as the black-hearted brother sets out to wreck the upcoming marriage by falsely portraying Hero as unchaste.
Taking out the trash A
s President obama reels from one scandal to the next, it’s amusing to see real life echoed by the second (!) movie in six months involving a fictional and fantastical terrorist assault on the White House. (Just a couple more of these and they’ll have enough for their very own festival.) In the newest version, White House Down features a group of paramilitary thugs who, armed with insider knowledge and automatic weapons, mow down a few dozen guards and soldiers while taking a tour group hostage, all part of a master plan to steal a fortune from the treasury. Plus there’s a highly placed traitor who may want to launch a few nuclear weapons just for fun. Unbeknownst to them, a member of the tour group, Cale (Channing tatum), is a combat veteran who had just been interviewed for a job on the President’s security detail. And since his 13-year-old daughter is one of those taken hostage, you can bet that Cale, after improbably breaking free,

MONSTERS UNIVERSITY -(Empire 6/SilverCity/Empire Uni 4/Westshore) In this prequel to the 2001 animated smash about fuzzy plush-toy monsters, we go back to the early days when Sully (John Goodman) and Mike (Billy Crystal) met at university. ★★★½ MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING -(Odeon) Talented director Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Avengers) takes on the Bard with a modern-day retelling of Shakespeare’s classic comedy about two pairs of lovers with very different ideas about life and love. This is a sharp, funny and engaging bit of filmmaking. See review. ★★ NOW YOU SEE ME -(Caprice) The FBI and Interpol combine forces to battle a clever crew of Las Vegas illusionists who seem to be robbing banks . . . while simultaneously performing for a casino audience. Despite a great cast that includes Morgan Freeman, Mark Ruffalo, and Jesse Eisenberg, this is a flabby caper film with little magic to it. ★★½ OBLIVION -(Roxy, 7:00) Tom Cruise stars in a visually stylish but rather dull and derivative sci-fi thriller about a man who returns to a ruined Earth to extract its remaining resources when strange things start to happen and he begins to question his mission and himself. Note: no show on Mon., July 8. ★★★ THIS IS THE END -(Odeon/ SilverCity) In this truly wacked comedy, stars such as Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel and Jonah Hill play themselves as they party at James Franco’s house – only to find themselves confronting a terrifying, demon-filled apocalypse. Although a bit oversold and rather slapdash, this is very funny (and very rude). ★★★ WORLD WAR Z -(Empire 6, SilverCity, Empire Uni 4, Westshore) Countries topple and armies shatter in the face of a zombie pandemic, as a shaggy-haired Brad Pitt tries to save the world. This is an intense and intelligent movie that uses zombies to embody the more plausible horror of a SARS-like threat to the planet.
weekend there is much to like about this Much. All those upstart American actors do a fine job speaking shakespearean blank verse, thereby making it easy to accept all the men wearing suits and ties rather than doublets and hose. the black and white cinematography adds a timeless feeling, and much of the humour is presented with an appropriately lowbrow panache. Methinks that the bard would have loved this film. Rating: ★★★½
is ready to do whatever it takes to save perky little emily. oh, and there’s a little matter of the President (Jamie Foxx), who has been sort-of rescued by Cale, with the two men running around the White House as they keep eluding capture while blasting the occasional bad guy. this frothy, fast-paced actioner is directed by Roland emmerich, who specializes in over-the-top epics like Godzilla and The Day After Tomorrow (and who blew up the White House once before in 1996’s Independence Day). Despite having a great cast that includes Maggie Gyllenhaal, James Woods, and Richard Jenkins, Down refuses to take anything seriously. the plot, pure b-movie hokum from the start, eventually descends to jaw-dropping depths of preposterousness in the movie’s last half hour. In other words, leave your brain at the door because cinema’s silly season is officially upon us! Rating: ★★ (White House Down continues at the Empire 6, SilverCity, Westshore, and Empire Uni 4).

Police watchdog probes VicPD collision Daniel Palmer News staff
The Victoria Police Department is under investigation by B.C.’s police watchdog for the second time in less than a month. The Independent Investigations Office is looking into a collision between a VicPD cruiser and a motorcycle that left a 38-year-old woman in serious condition. Around 8:30 p.m. on May 5, a VicPD cruiser was travelling eastbound on Chatham Street through the Government Street intersection when a motorcyclist was struck and injured. At the time, VicPD said initial witness accounts stated the police cruiser was travelling on a green light and the IIO would not be investigating. But on June 18, IIO investigators “reassessed the statements provided by witnesses and determined that the actions of an officer may have contributed to the collision. Based on this reassessment, the IIO asserted jurisdiction and will conduct an investigation,” according to a release. VicPD is already involved in an IIO investigation that stemmed from a June 16 fatal crash. In that case, Victoria resident Darcy David Cole fled from a VicPD cruiser and crashed his car into a lamppost at Blanshard Street and Cloverdale Avenue in Saanich. The IIO is mandated to conduct investigations into police-related incidents of death or serious harm in order to determine whether or not an officer may have committed an offence. dpalmer@vicnews.com
continues to open its doors to nursing grads in the region. VIHA announced this week that 119 of this year’s estimated crop of around 250 new registered nurses from Island universities will be hired by the health authority.
Of those, 69 will be given temporary full-time employment at Victoria General, Royal Jubilee or Saanich Peninsula hospitals, or at VIHA’s home and community care health units in the region as part VIHA’s New Graduate Transition Program.
“I’m excited for the new grads and for the opportunities they have,” said Joanne Maclaren, director for practice services with VIHA. “This is just a starting point to get them in the door.” Registered nurse students,
including those studying at the University of Victoria, already work in the hospitals as part of their practicum education, but hiring them to positions “feels like just an extension of that,” Maclaren said. editor@vicnews.com

UVic Vikes enter 16 into Track Classic Travis Paterson News staff
Standing on Ship Point, Olympic shot putter Dylan Armstrong took a minute to explain the basic elements of his throwing techniques using a honeydew on Tuesday. It was part of a preview of tonight’s Victoria International Track Classic, 6 p.m. at UVic’s Centennial Stadium. Needless to say, the melons turned to a pulpy mess after they landed, as Armstrong pitched them about 15 metres in distance and 10 metres high. “It’s a lot lighter than I thought, I have to take it easy not to hurt myself,” said the Kamloops resident. Armstrong is in line to receive the 2008 Beijing Games bronze medal due to the recently announced lifetime ban of Belarus thrower Andrei Mikhnevich for doping. Armstrong is one of many elite track and field athletes attending the Victoria Track Classic, the final stop of the National Track League.
Travis Paterson/News staff
Olympian Dylan Armstrong demonstrates his technique with a honeydew at Ship Point on Tuesday for the Victoria Track Classic. “I love coming to Victoria, it’s a great place and great event,” Armstrong said. “There’s not much
money in this so I have to hit as many events as I can.” There are few track and field ath-
letes as busy as Armstrong, as he departed Tuesday for the Diamond League event in Lausanne, Switzerland, on Thursday. He’ll rely on the time difference to make it back to Victoria for tonight’s Track Classic. “He just rolls with the punches,” said race co-organizer Keith Butler. “Not every track and field athlete can spend as much time on the plane, and sleep on the plane as easily as he does.” Armstrong trains with Canada’s throwing program in Kamloops under coach Dr. Anatoliy Bodnarchuk, and which includs upand-coming athletes Adam Keenan (hammer) and Mason Kereszti (javelin), both from Lambrick Park secondary school. Keenan and Kerestzi will be competing tonight, part of a strong local contingent. Among them are up-andcoming track star Rachel Francois, one of 16 UVic Vikes competing. Francois is looking to run her personal best in the 800-metre for the third-straight year at the Track Classic. “This track is good luck for me,” she said. Tickets available at the door. sports@vicnews.com

The Belmont secondary graduate and 2012 Giro d’Italia winner was one of four Garmin-Sharp riders sitting 17 seconds back of the maillot jaune (yellow jersey), 14th overall after cruising in at 103rd in the peloton on Stage 5 in Marseille on Wednesday (July 3). Stage 7 of the Tour finished today, an ideal stretch for roulers, or “rolling hill” cyclists, 205km from Montpellier to Albi. Stage 7 is as far as Hesjedal made it last year

So he’s managed to hang among the elites and stay within striking distance of first place despite having already crashed on Stage 1 (June 29) and narrowly avoiding the Stage 5 crash that docked teammate Christian Vande Velde 10 minutes. “(Hesjedal’s) sliding through and staying under the radar and it happens with Ryder a lot. He’s often underrated,” said Seamus McGrath, former Olympic cycling teammate of Hesjedal’s and director of Ryder Hesjedal's Tour de Victoria. Hesjedal also seems to be avoiding the press so far, which can also be a blessing, McGrath said. “The yellow jersey guys will say it’s a lot of work off the bike, before and after each stage, so it’s a chance to be more relaxed.” Of course, a stage win or even a sniff of the yellow jersey, which his highly likely as the Tour hits the Pyrenees on Stage 8 tomorrow, and Hesjedal

Canada win plate trophy at Rugby World Sevens
Canada earned the Plate trophy (second tier) thanks to five straight wins at the men’s Rugby World Cup Sevens tournament in Moscow. The Canadians, featuring a core of Victoria players, dropped the opening pool game to eventual RWC Sevens champs New Zealand on Friday (June 28). They then stormed back to defeat USA and Georgia on Saturday and Tonga, Scotland and Samoa on Sunday. “To be able to say that the only game we lost was to the winners is pleasing,” said Canada’s Sevens coach Geraint John. Playing for Canada was Oak Bay High grad and former national sevens captain Phil Mack of the UVic Vikes as well as St. Michaels University School grad Mike Fuailefau of the Castaway Wanderers. The Canadian women made it to the top tier Cup final but lost 29-12 to New Zealand.

Weightlifter ranked among nation’s best Travis Paterson News staff
Weightlifter Rachel Siemens is going to stick around. Siemens, 23, ranked second at the Western Canadian Championships this year, and third at nationals, and is staying in Victoria now that she’s finished her kinesiology undergraduate at UVic. She hopes to represent Canada at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, 2015 Pan Am Games and then the Olympics. “That’s the plan but it’s just one step at a time,” Siemens said. “I have a (Victoria) coach, Rob Macklem, who’s been coaching me for two years now. I’ve also started a training business but will try to work as little as possible and train as much as possible to reach my goals.” As a trainer she can adapt to whatever the customer wants, it doesn’t have to be weightlifting, though she’s qualified to teach more than the basics in weightlifting, fitness and sports performance. “Training is pretty
demanding. It’s a tough balance without much funding.” The former CrossFit competitor moved completely into weightlifting this year after competing in both for the past two years. It paid off as she placed third in the 2013 nationals in the 69-kilograms category. Siemens competed last weekend in White Rock’s annual Sea Festival Open where she finished second to teen phenom Prabdeep Sanghera. The catch is Siemens didn’t cut weight. Rather, she competed in the 75-kgs category and matched Sanghera in the clean and jerk at 110-kgs lifted but only managed 83-kgs in the snatch lift to Sanghera’s 90-kgs. “There aren’t that many weightlifting competitions so I can’t really afford to miss any but I wasn’t going to cut weight.” Siemens is ranked eighth among Canadian women based on the Sinclair coefficient, a number derived from the size of the athlete and their weightlifting results. sports@vicnews.com

Don Haber’s 1923 T-bucket hot rod features running boards hand carved by builder Gary Lang in the late 1960s.
Renowned T-bucket hot rod unveiled at the PNE for the second time in 44 years Veteran hot rod builder Gary Lang looks at the 1923 Model T Ford roadster hot rod he started building in 1966. “It’s a real thrill to see the car restored to look the ALYN EDWARDS way it did back then,” CLASSIC said the VancouverRIDES area resident as the car he built was being prepared for a custom car show at the Pacific National Exhibition where he debuted the car 44 years before. “To have a car like this survive all these years and be put back in this condition with all the detail is amazing.” T-bucket roadsters became popular with hot rodders in the 1950s. They turned two-seater bucket shaped bodies of Ford Model T roadsters into radically customized and hopped up street racers. The craze was fed by the famous Kookie Kar driven by character Gerald ‘Kookie’ Cookson in the popular TV show 77 Sunset Strip. Gary sold his customized 1947 Ford tudor sedan owned since he was 15 years old after catching the T-bucket bug. A pattern maker by trade, he hand-crafted a tubular chassis with independent front and rear torsion bar suspension and installed a 289 cubic inch V8 engine and transmission from a nearly new Ford. An American–built fiberglass body was modified to tilt up from the rear revealing the highly polished and chromed mechanical parts. Gary made the patterns for the finned air cleaner and custom valve covers that were cast in solid bronze. He hand-carved the teak dashboard highlighted by the reclining figure of a beautiful woman. The project took 2 ½ years to complete.
Original T-bucket hot rod builder Gary Lang and current owner Don Haber. The 1923 Model T Ford roadster ‘T-bucket’ hot rod features a maple leaf shaped rear window.
His distinctive T-bucket, with its maple leaf shaped convertible top rear window, was named “Revolution” when it made its debut at the 1969 PNE Motorama. It stole the show when it was recognized as one of the most remarkable and bestengineered custom cars built up to that time. Awards included first-in-class, best engineering and the much-coveted ‘People’s Choice’ trophy. The car took all the top awards at its next show in Seattle, including hot rod sweepstakes. Then Gary drove the car to Lodi, California for the Hot Rod Nationals and took the best engineered car award
*THIS IS NOT A MISPRINT *
over several hundred competitors. After showing the car for five years, Gary sold his internationally acclaimed hot rod to boyhood friend Don Haber to buy his first house. Don drove the car for a few years until he too got into home ownership. The car was left in the garage as his marine supply business required him to travel the world. The car would remain unused in storage for 40 years. Continued on Pg. B3

The genuine James Bond submarine car is going on sale in September at an auction conducted by Ontario-based RM Auctions. It is fully functional and has never been put up for sale before.
Me, starring Roger Moore, the white Lotus commonly tops the polls when generations of movie fans are asked to vote on their favourite film cars of all time. Like all the best Bond cars, the Lotus was a veritable war chest of weaponry and gadgetry, all designed to fox and foil the enemy, while also helping Bond to another hard-won victory for Queen and country. Abundantly authenticated, and known as ‘Wet Nellie’ on the set, it was developed from one of six Esprit body shells used in the making of the film. As the only car to be built into a fully operational, self-propelled ‘submarine’, by Perry Oceanographic, based in Riviera Beach, Florida, it is the vehicle which claimed the most screen time in the film. In 2010, RM Auctions sold “the most famous car in the world”, the Aston Martin DB5 used by Sean Connery in the enormously popular Goldfinger and Thunderball movies, for an incredible £2.9 million.

In 2011, Don had life-changing triple bypass open heart surgery and realized it was time to do something with the old hot rod. He engaged the services of hot rod fabricator Brad Purser of Del-Brayd Speed & Style to restore the hot rod at Don’s home in Aldergrove. Over the past year, every part of the venerable hot rod has been restored and reassembled using stainless fasteners and plumbing. The engine compartment wiring has been cleverly hidden and other improvements made to make the T-bucket a contemporary hot rod. It’s remarkable that the T-bucket hot rod retains its original black paint and striping done in the late 1960s by well-known local artist Boots Olsen. Don Haber’s restored hot rod was unveiled at the Vancouver Collector Car Show Sale & Auction inside the Pacific National Exhibition grounds June 22 and 23. It was déjà vu for the hot rod that was first shown at the PNE 44 years ago.

Mitsubishi donates $161,250 to help impoverished children Mitsubishi Motor Sales of Canada is helping realize the dream of a better life for children with a $161,250 donation to the international humanitarian organization Right to Play. Presenting a cheque recently to Right to Play International board member, athlete ambassador and Canadian rowing champion Silken Laumann, Tony Laframboise, MMSCAN’s vicepresident, Sales and Marketing, said
the donation by MMSCAN and its 85 Canadian dealers was raised in the company’s annual Right to Play Challenge. “In the five years of our involvement in Right to Play, we have raised nearly $1.8 million for children who face unfathomable challenges,” he said. “Our support was possible by earmarking a donation for every retail sale of a Mitsubishi vehicle. Our
latest effort will make a difference in disadvantaged areas of Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and Canada.” Mitsubishi chose Squamish for its media launch of the new 2014 Outlander compact sport utility, and invited Silken Laumann to participate in the cheque presentation. A Canadian charity, Right to Play is a global leader in sport for development
and peace; it provides children with life skills that empower them to make educated choices and change outcomes for them and their communities. Led by its motto “When Children Play, The World Wins”, Right to Play is working in more than 20 countries around the world, including partnerships with 47 First Nations in Canada.

That’s why we’re the only manufacturer to have received IIHS Top Safety Picks on all models for the past four years (2010–2013), and why the 2013 Legacy and Outback (on vehicles built after August 2012) and the 2014 Forester have also received 2013 IIHS Top Safety Pick+ ratings.▲ So you can have confidence in your vehicle when you’re on the road, and when you’re off it.

Ratings of “Good” are the highest rating awarded for performance in five safety tests (moderate overlap front, small overlap front, side, rollover and rear) conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) (www.iihs.org). To earn a 2013 TOP SAFETY PICK, a vehicle must receive a “Good” rating in the moderate overlap front, side, rollover and rear tests. To earn a 2013 TOP SAFETY PICK+, a vehicle must receive a “Good” rating in at least four of the five tests and a “Good” or “Acceptable” rating in the fifth test.
