Sterling Wood and Dawn Partridge-Wood are closing their home decor business, About The House, 634 Yates St., at the end of this month. The couple say a stagnant economic outlook and high overhead costs forced them to make the practical decision. “It was a labour of love,” Partridge-Wood says. “It’s sad.”

awn Partridge-Wood was full of optimism in the days before opening her dream business in the heart of downtown
Victoria. She and her partner, Sterling Wood, had just finalized their business plan and were eager to fill their new storefront window with delicate metal sculptures, antique shelving and unique home decor accents. “When we were starting the business and we talked to the bank, they more or less were saying, ‘We’re at the bottom now. There’s Daniel Palmer nowhere to go but up,’” Reporting Sterling-Wood says. “That’s what other retailers were saying, too,” adds Wood. “And it never went up.” Those happy days three years ago are now just a fading memory, as About The House becomes yet another small business in the downtown core to fall victim to a stagnant economic recovery. The easy answers are that the couple

simply chose the wrong location, opening an interior design shop on a worn-out strip in the 600-block of Yates St., and that consumers haven’t yet returned to spending over saving. The Woods’ story is all too familiar across downtown, as many retailers are faced with either renewing their lease at rising rates or packing it in. At the end of 2012, retail vacancy rates in the downtown core sat at 7.1 per cent, a far cry from the 2.9-percent rate seen in 2008. About one in 12 downtown office spaces are also empty, leaving a multitude of “For Lease” signs to collect dust on brick facades and in prominent shop windows. “I don’t know how they afford to let so many properties stay vacant,” Sterling-Wood says. “The thing we don’t know about the rent is whether it’s just greed on behalf of the landlords or whether the
(property) taxes are just grossly higher to explain why the rent is sticking so high,” Wood says. City of Victoria property tax rates are about three times higher for commercial properties than for residential properties of the same size, a disproportionate balance that comes down to a philosophical argument debated around council tables for decades, says Coun. Geoff Young, an economist by trade. “There are some councils that have blithely increased the rates on commercial property in order to keep residential rates down, and really harmed the future in order to prevent immediate pain,” he says. Slick new retail space outside Victoria isn’t something council can control, but Young believes the city can help by improving rapid transit and continuing to “chip away” at property tax rates.
“My private business occupies rental space in the downtown and we pay taxes as a component of rent. It’s a very significant part of total occupancy cost. So that is one of the main factors that we’re conscious of and are trying to affect by keeping our rate of budget growth down.” Commercial spaces tend to sit empty for months because landlords are justifiably cautious about who they’re allowing to use the space, Young says. “It’s not quite like the residential rental market in the sense that people are prepared to move in for short periods of time and with short notice. With retail tenants and restaurants, it’s very expensive to move in and you want someone who’s going to be there for a long time.”

2013 VICTORIA NEWS - Friday, September 6, 2013
Victoria to host Olympic fundraiser Wilf Bruch, past president of the Old Cemeteries Society, stands next to an old headstone, one of many in Pioneer Square park. The society’s expertise is helping with the city’s plans to restore the park, along with some of its gravestones and monuments.

City to revive pioneer history Old Cemeteries Society teams with city on Pioneer Square upgrade Daniel Palmer News staff
On a sunny day, hundreds of pedestrians stroll beneath the giant oak trees of Pioneer Square past crumbling sandstone monuments. Along the park’s Quadra Street boundary, an engraved boulder marks the centennial year of the Fraser River gold rush in 1958 and pays homage to the square’s 18-year history as the city cemetery. But unbeknownst to most park visitors, nearly 1,300 human remains are buried below the grassy landscape. Catholic families make up the majority of the northern plots while Anglicans are buried to the south. The park’s northeast corner was likely used by some of the earliest Chinese families who migrated to the colony of Vancouver Island and established Canada’s oldest Chinatown. “I’ve watched this deteriorate for 20 years,” says Wilf Bruch, past president of the Old Cemeteries Society on a walk through the park. The square served as the colony’s
second cemetery from 1855 to 1873, after Fort Victoria was established in 1843. To mark its historical significance, the City of Victoria is spending $700,000 to restore salvageable gravestones and monuments, install pathway lighting and update landscaping. Work begins later this month and will shut down the 900-block of Rockland Ave. for up to a year. Bruch and his colleagues have been waiting two decades for the news, and have done much of the legwork gathering historical documents on the cemetery’s inhabitants. “That’s what we’re all about, trying to make sure that doesn’t happen again, that things don’t get lost or destroyed from lack of attention,” he said. The cemetery sat largely unkempt after its closure until 1908, when a rogue city parks manager decided the problem was too big to fix and took it upon himself to pile gravestones along the square’s east end. “The guy lost his job over it,” said Bruch. “It was a very controversial move, but once it’s done, it’s done.”
The original burial plot is lost to history, but scattered records from early churches and the B.C. Archives have been compiled on the Old Cemeteries Society’s website. Larger monuments, like the bench tombs of John Helmcken and David Cameron, the first chief justice for the colony of Vancouver Island, remain in their original locations. Yet many engravings on less grand tombstones are no longer legible, thanks to years of exposure to the elements. Even with the funding from parks, the city still won’t be able to cover the restoration cost all of the artifacts held safe by Bruch and the other 150odd volunteers in the society. Staff hope to find fundraising partners for that phase of the project. At a council meeting last Thursday, council ensured Pioneer Square will be protected by heritage designation once work is complete.

Top-level B.C. chefs, big-name Canadian musicians and Olympic athletes are on the menu for the Gold Medal Plates event, set for Nov. 7 at the Victoria Conference Centre. The culinary and wine tasting event, part of a national series of chef competitions that lead to the Canadian Culinary Championships, is a fundraiser for the Canadian Olympic Foundation, which funds the Own the Podium program. “They call it Canada’s biggest kitchen party,” said regional event co-ordinator Aidan Henry, who helped kick off the run-up to the Victoria gala at a high-profile media event yesterday at the conference centre. Henry said the Nov. 7 gala has the potential to be Victoria’s premier social event of 2013, comparing it to last year’s David Foster Miracle Concert. Singer-songwriters Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo and Barney Bentall have been confirmed to perform and a number of Olympic athletes, past and present, will be on hand. The B.C. region Gold Medal Plates competition, held in Vancouver for the past couple of years, will see 11 chefs – including locals Garrett Schack from Vista 18 and Kunal Ghose from Red Fish/Blue Fish – vying in Victoria for the right to move on to the national championships in Kelowna. Event chair Bruce Courtnall said the city’s experience hosting such celebrity fundraisers as the Courtnall Classic and Foster’s Miracle Concert, and the Capital Region’s connection to Olympic athletes, makes Victoria a natural to host this event. “I think a lot of us forget how many Olympic athletes we’ve had in our city, from Simon Whitfield to Adam Kreek and Silken Laumann,” he said. “(This event) is for the benefit of the athletes.” He called the gala a “win-win” for everyone involved, from the chefs to the attendees to the athletes. Said fellow committee member Whitfield: “Victoria doesn’t typically get much national exposure for our athletes and athletic programs. Gold Medal Plates is our time to shine and show the rest of the country what Victoria has to offer.” Tickets are $300 and corporate table sponsorships are available.

Work on damaged terminal to begin soon on harbour

Holland America’s Zaandam, pulls into the Ogden Point docks in April. The arrival was the first of a planned 210 cruise ship stops in Victoria for the 2013 season.

Cruise ship season is winding down for another year, by the end of which 210 vessels and more than 464,000 tourists will have passed through Ogden Point. While the numbers are down slightly from last year’s recordbreaking 503,000 visitors, the local cruise industry hit a milestone last week as the five-millionth passenger made a port of call in Victoria. Newlyweds Michael Alastair Nace and Patricia Louise Guthrie of Santee, Calif. shared the honour on Aug. 30, courtesy of Tourism Victoria.
attractions would have a much more difficult time surviving in difficult times, like the ones we’ve been through in the last three or four years,” Grad said. The demographic of cruise ship passengers is progressively younger, he said, with more families choosing to cruise. “You often see three generations travelling together as well.” Final 2013 passenger tallies won’t be released until October, after the last ship has come and gone, but Ogden Point will be ready for another banner year in 2014, Grad said. dpalmer@vicnews.com
“Cruise is a very strong foundational piece for the (tourism) industry. It allows other businesses to grow and develop,” said Curtis Grad, president and CEO of the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority. While the ever-expanding cruise ships don’t benefit the hotel industry during their stay, they translate to upwards of 7,000 passengers filtering into downtown restaurants, stores and beyond for adventure experiences and sightseeing every weekend. “Butchart (Gardens) is obviously the strongest tourism product we have, bar none, but I would venture to guess that without cruise, a lot of smaller

Nearly two months after the MV Coho slammed into an Inner Harbour marina, the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority is finalizing plans to rebuild the docks. On July 10, the Port Angeles ferry hit the former Hyack Air floatplane terminal as it was reversing in front of the Victoria Regent Hotel, causing around $80,000 in damage and destroying the docks. Fortunately, no boats or planes were moored there at the time. Insurance claims have now been finalized between Black Ball Ferry Line and the harbour authority, which purchased the facility in June. “We’re going to do a bit of a reconfiguration to get better use of the facility, but essentially, what the insurance pays for is the same amount of linear dock space,” said Curtis Grad, GVHA president and CEO. “We may even choose to invest more money in additional dock space.” Work is expected to begin later this fall.

OUR VIEW
Kudos to city’s cruise industry Tourism in Victoria is in ship-shape according to the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority. The region welcomed its five-millionth cruise ship passenger last week – the title officially granted jointly to newlyweds Michael Nace and Patricia Guthrie of Santee, Calif. on Aug. 30. It was the icing on the cake for the harbour authority, which recorded a banner year. And it is not alone. Early numbers indicate Victoria enjoyed the best tourist season since 2008 this year, beginning in the spring and heating up along with the summer weather. Hotel occupancy was up 1.5 per cent compared to last year and the average daily room rate increased by more than $10 this quarter. Aside from hotel rooms, the cruise ship industry is integral to that success. In 2001, a mere 71 ships arrived at Ogden Point, compared to the 210 scheduled to enter the port this year, including the Celebrity Solstice, one of the largest ships at sea, which brings up to 3,000 passengers and 1,000 crew to the city each week. With tourism numbers down across the country, not to mention Greater Victoria’s lull over the last few years, those coming by sea are an integral part of the brighter tourism picture in our region. The cruise industry now brings in approximately 15 per cent of the estimated three million visitors to Victoria each year. Reaching the five-million mark is a coup for the harbour authority, especially in light of the fact that it is a not-for-profit corporation that operates Fisherman’s Wharf, Ship Point in the Inner Harbour, Wharf and Johnson Street marinas. The ships bring a consistent flow of tourists that bolster each community event and increase the lively, vibrant feel of the city that entices visitors to return. Despite issues with its neighbours, which the harbour authority continues to address, the cruise ship business is clearly good for the region and should be given our support and congratulations.

Even as an adult taking taekwondo I felt silly in a gi, even though everyone else was wearing them too. I felt so awkward that I opted for kick boxing instead. In the past couple of years I’ve managed to lose more than 90 pounds and I feel the Drop Zone is something I can do now, that maybe I couldn’t have before. Then I think about the children that are able to go to camp through East Seals fundraisers such as this. Without the specialized camp, many of these children would never have the opportunity to experience a unique week of summer fun. While this is a personal challenge for myself, I also want to challenge all Black Press readers to donate to the cause. If together we can raise $2,400, we can cover the cost of sending one kid to camp. All I can do now is remind myself that Drop Zone is for the children and it’s another opportunity for me to get out of my element, experience something new and hopefully have another memorable experience that will stay with me for life.

LETTERS Cedar Hill Golf Course a source of pride in Saanich Re: Rec opportunities abound in Saanich (vicnews.com, Aug. 29) I find it interesting that Mayor Leonard failed to mention Cedar Hill Golf Course in this article. The golf course does pre-date his time in municipal politics, but he certainly had some influence on its operation since being elected. It was a cash cow for Saanich for years, with profits used to subsidize other recreation facilities. It is unfortunate that Saanich did not have the foresight to put some of those proceeds aside for the golf course when it needed some work done on the irrigation and drainage, or to carry the facility through the recent economic downturn. However, positive things are now happening and the golf course is in the best shape it’s ever been in, thanks to the skill and efforts of the grounds crew – Saanich employees who clearly take pride in their jobs. There are very few municipalities that can claim a full, 18-hole golf course among their assets and Cedar Hill Golf Course is truly a gem. It should be a source of pride to the Saanich Parks and Recreation department and certainly to the mayor as well. Val Mieras President, Cedar Hill Golf Club
Unacceptable treatment of pets a serious matter to consider

Doggone good time B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union member Pam Desjardine relaxes with her dogs, Sissy, 10 left, and Spirit, 9, at the annual Labour Day picnic at Irving Park in James Bay. The event featured information booths, family activities, entertainment and free lunch for kids. Desjardine says she never misses the picnic rain or shine because she (and the dogs) enjoy the music.
Weaver’s actions somehow ignored
Re: Man faces animal cruelty charges (News, Aug. 28) I read that this man abused an animal in 2009 and again in May 2013. It absolutely infuriates me. Why would it be all right for him to have a pet again for a third time? Abusing an animal once is completely unacceptable and terribly cruel. In my opinion, if a person abuses an animal once they should never be allowed to have a pet again, ever. Also if one cannot provide basic needs for an animal such as shelter, water and food, they should seriously reconsider adopting the pet. All pets deserve to have their basic needs provided for by a responsible owner who will also give much love and attention to their pet. After all, pets are part of the family and one loves and cares for family members.
Re: Watershed time for B.C. Greens (Our View, Aug. 30) Your editorial is timely. Some of us who live in Oak Bay-Gordon Head riding were dismayed that the Green candidate, Andrew Weaver and his party were not held to the same standard as other candidates and parties. For example, while every other party produced a cost estimate of their promises, the Greens chose not to. Hence it was impossible, from a rational analysis of the multitude of promises in their Green Book, to identify either any sense of priorities or a coherent implementation plan. In short, it was an uncosted and incoherent wish list. Thus one promise, among many in the platform, became increasingly dubious: the promise of a balanced budget. Weaver called the proposed Liberal budget a bogus document, as it was based on long-term promises of fantasy liquefied natural gas plant revenues. However, in the subsequent sitting of the legislature he voted with the Liberals in support of the budget. He expressed no confidence in the government in the campaign, yet upon his election votes confidence in the same government: a very confusing act, which once again the mainstream media somehow ignored. Perhaps the editorial headline should have read “Watershed time for B.C. Greens and the B.C. Media”?

City’s strong 2013 tourism season likely to preclude rent reductions Continued from Page A1 Another factor in empty retail space is that commercial real estate valuations tend to be reflective of longer-term economic outlooks. Some contracts signed prior to the 2008 recession are only coming up for renewal now, Young says. If there are vacant spaces nearby that are offering cheaper rent, it could take years before the market rate properly adjusts to the new reality. But an eventual drop in retail lease rates may never come, if early tourism indicators are any indication, said Bruce Carter, CEO of the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce. “We’re having a very strong tourism season and very strong retail sales this summer, but it will take awhile before that turns itself into tenants,” he says. Carter is less enthusiastic about the city leading the charge on economic development, but says one small-scale fix would be to revert Yates and Fort streets to two-way streets. “One-way streets are terrible for retail,” he says, adding he’d also like the city to rely less on parking revenue. “We could use a much more comprehensive strategy as a
community, perhaps a citizens committee, going after the festivals and conferences we want, not waiting for them to come to us. And you’d start to see a positive impact on delegate days.” But the grand plans come too late for Sterling-Wood, who plans to find a retail job in
home decor and put to rest her “labour of love.” “I wish I had more positive input for what the city could do to improve things,” she says. “We’re not that optimistic about the economy improving in the next two years, five years – we just don’t know.” dpalmer@vicnews.com
City, business try to find way out Commercial real estate expert Colliers International’s 2012 retail report forecasts “continued soft retail leasing market in the downtown core and downward pressure on overall rental rates,” due to sustained retail competition from outlying shopping centres. This year’s report will be published in December. Downtown Victoria Business Association chair, Fran Hobbis, points to the DVBA’s three-year strategy launched earlier this year as a roadmap for co-ordinated effort in downtown revitalization. She champions the example of urban mecca Portland, Ore., where city hall, building owners and business sectors worked together to lure larger retailers to stagnant areas of the city, enticing other businesses to put down roots nearby. “We have to compete with Langford and UpTown and Mayfair, and what we’re trying to say is, here’s why you want to be downtown,” she says. “You need to have a few anchor stores downtown and you enhance that with a unique, local flavour and promote the ways downtown is different than shopping in a mall.” The city’s newly hired executive director of economic development, Sage Baker, will also be key in moving discussions forward and in identifying arts and cultural events that can attract Greater Victoria residents to the downtown core, Hobbis says. Baker will report back to council on her plans later this fall.

Two Canadian Navy warships that collided at sea en route to Hawaii will undergo repairs at CFB Esquimalt’s naval drydock this fall. HMCS Algonquin, an Iroquois-class destroyer, sustained heavy damage to her hangar on the port side when hit head-on by HMCS Protecteur, the Pacific fleet’s oiler replenishment ship. There were no reported inju-
ries from the collision, which occurred around 11 a.m. on Aug. 30, according to navy public affairs. “The Royal Canadian Navy will be conducting an investigation into this unfortunate incident in order to determine exactly what happened,” said Commodore Bob Auchterlonie, Commander of Canadian Fleet Pacific. When the incident occurred the ships were conducting towing exercises, which require manoeuvring at close quarters, he said.

Algonquin will not deploy to the Asia Pacific region as planned and a board of inquiry will be established to investigate the incident. This is the second incident involving a naval warship this
year. In April, a fishing vessel smashed into HMCS Winnipeg while the frigate was docked at “C” Jetty. An investigation by the Transportation Safety Board is ongoing. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Speakers series begins Sept. 11 at Union Club Don Descoteau News staff
Victoria’s Harbourside Rotary members get a peek-aboo view of the Inner Harbour out the windows of the Union Club during their breakfast meetings. And with many members of the local service organization operating businesses or living in the city, it’s not surprising
the club has taken an interest in the future of the harbour. As a way of addressing key issues affecting this integral piece of city infrastructure, Rotary is hosting a series of talks aimed at offering varying perspectives on the role of the harbour, its past and future. The monthly series, entitled Victoria’s Harbour: Meeting the Challenge of Making it Work, kicks off with Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin on Sep. 11. Subsequent Wednesday morning speakers range from historian John Adams and Tourism Victoria chair Dave Cowan to Greater Victoria
www.bcschools.cupe.ca @CUPEbcschools cupebcschools
Harbour Authority CEO Curtis Grad and Libby Seifel, an urban land economist and city planner from San Francisco. “I think it’s more a gathering of points of view,” said Rotary member and former Oak Bay mayor Christopher Causton, who was instrumental in arranging the speakers. “We thought it was time to get people to focus on the strengths and weaknesses of the harbour and where we want to go in the next 20 to 25 years.” Causton, who has enjoyed a unique viewpoint as a Victoria Harbour Ferry captain the
past two summers, called the harbour “the icon of the city.” Redevelopment plans for the Royal B.C. Museum, Belleville Terminal and the Blue Bridge, not to mention the working Upper Harbour and air terminal, of which the federal government has said it wants to divest itself, are all issues of great interest to the public, Causton said. Attendees need not be Union Club or Rotary members, but must pay $18 for the buffet breakfast, which gets underway at 7 a.m. The Union Club is at 805 Gordon St. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

Family’s Victoria roots go way back You won’t find small kitchen appliances, a photo-finishing department or hardware in the new Cridge Family Pharmacy. Pharmacist Jason Cridge is more interested in patient care than boosting revenue with products he knows little about – like vacuum cleaners. Don Descoteau “We’re Biz Beat definitely going back to basics in terms of pharmacy service,” he says. “Our dispensary is closer to the front of the store. Right when a patient walks in the door we can talk to them.” Cridge, who graduated with his pharmacist’s ticket in 2012 and worked at a few pharmacies to get his feet wet, opened the outlet in the historic Yarrow Building as a family business with his parents, Mike and Debbie, on Aug. 1 next to the longtime site of McGill and Orme Pharmacy. The narrow 2,200-square-foot space isn’t adorned with loss leader general merchandise deals on the ends of aisles, retailing commonly practised by larger drug stores. The rows of shelves are laid out in orderly, uncrowded fashion with products easily reachable for customers. And if they have questions, Cridge is happy to help. “We spend a lot of time doing medical reviews, and working with patients’ personal histories,” he says. Often people don’t get enough time in their doctor’s’ office to absorb

Cridge Family Pharmacy co-owners Debbie Cridge and son and pharmacist Jason Cridge greet customers with smiles at their new store in the Yarrow Building on Fort Street. the implications or side effects of their prescribed medications, he says. But provincial guidelines now pay pharmacists to spend more time with clients, a point he says customers appreciate. If the Cridge name sounds familiar, it should. Jason is the great-greatgreat grandson of Bishop Edward Cridge, the one-time reverend at Christ Church Cathedral who broke away and started the Church of Our Lord in the 1860s. He was also instrumental in getting a city hospital going and starting a group that would ultimately become the Cridge Centre for the Family. “It’s definitely something to be proud of,” Cridge says. Debbie Cridge, working the counter on this day, points out that someone from Church of Our Lord recently dropped by
with an original bible belonging to Bishop Cridge. “It’s kind of exciting and kind of special for the family to have a part in Victoria after all these years,” she says. The pharmacy benefitted early from tourist traffic, Jason says. But among local customers, the pharmacy’s compounding services – medications are tailor-made for patients unable to take commercially produced drugs – have proven popular. Eventually, the Cridges hope to evolve into a “naturopathictype” store that can offer medical information on natural medications.

art of enjoying a music festival like Rifflandia is putting on your musical explorer hat, or cape — whichever you prefer. The fact of the matter is, with more than 170 acts in the lineup, there’s no conceivable way to be familiar with all of them. Unless of course, you’re Nick Blasko or Dimitri Demers of Atomique Productions, the festival’s producers. With more acts this year than ever before, and more international acts who’ve never played a set on our Island paradise, Rifflandia 6 is sure to be a spectacle like no other. Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Courtney Love, Big Boi, Death From Above 1979, James Murphy and Pat Mahoney (DFA/ LCD Soundsystem), Stars, Matt & Kim, Beats Antique and so many others — are all gracing one of 14 stages at this year’s festival. Instead of a side stage at Royal Athletic Park, organizers are opting for a massive open-walled tent to help focus the energy and give the park a different feel. “And Nick really likes tents,” says Demers. Action at RAP will “ping pong”
back and forth from stage to tent, keeping the music flowing all day long, Sept.13-15. New night venues include the Copper Owl, Rehab Nightclub, the recently expanded Phillips Brewery backyard and CMCT studios, an intimate space with a small capacity on Discovery Street, curated by Colin McTaggart. Night stages are open Sept. 12-14. Rifflandia Headquarters (and Atomique Productions’ office) is now located inside the old RBC building on the corner of Pandora and Douglas, where you can buy tickets, merch or just stop by and have some fun with your fellow Rifflandians. Remember: It’s always easiest to get around town on bicycle, especially at night when there are 12 stages operating simultaneously. And if you have certain acts on your “must see” list, get there early as venue capacities range from 40 to 2,000. rifflandia.com.

T
he past few days have been all about digging up memories for the members of Celtic thunder. the musical ensemble group from ireland spent several days in Abbotsford this week, rehearsing the material from their Mythology album, recorded last year but yet to be taken on the road. “Mythology is the tour and we’re so excited to finally be rolling this out,” said Ryan Kelly, one of several principal singers in the six-member group and an original member from 2007. the accompanying dVd for the album was filmed last August in dublin and two days later the artists and crew flew out to start their 2012 fall North American tour. “We’ve spent the last few days remembering what we did last year in dublin,” Kelly says. “We’ve sang hundreds of songs since we recorded it, so it’s taking a bit of time to relearn it. But they’re songs that we love and songs that we’ve performed (individually) over the years.” Celtic thunder brings its multi-genre stage show
to Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre on Sunday (Sept. 8), a day after kicking off the 2013 edition of their Canada-u.S. tour in Abbotsford. For people unfamiliar with the act, Kelly says the goal is to transport audience members back to a show pub in ireland, where they might hear everything from traditional irish and Celtic folk tunes to rock and country foot stompers. “What has always been a plus point of our show is that it really is trying to bring people in and give them a good time, give them a good night,” he says. “it’s pretty much an eclectic mix, but that’s always been the way with Celtic thunder.” With choreographed moves accompanying the music and the singers thrust into loose character roles, the scene plays out much like a las Vegas musical. “one thing about irish music and Celtic music in general, it really is about storytelling, and the best way of portraying that music is doing it on stage. often, i suppose, people don’t get a chance to travel to Broadway or Vegas or the big city to see shows like this.” Show time in Victoria is 7 p.m. tickets, $55 and $75 plus tax, are available at the arena box office or at selectyourtickets.com.

Film and music makers from across Victoria are teaming up to produce short films, up to 10 minutes long, inspired by a selection of diverse local music. Genres range from celtic punk and heavy metal to experimental, electronic and pop. even a spoken word piece, We Are it Stopped, by Victoria’s poet laureate Janet Marie Rogers made the cut this year, a first for this competition. Musical artists involved in this year’s competition include psychic pollution, Kaya Martin, Secondhand habit, empire Monday, Kristy Farkas, the McGillicuddys and Solipsis. eight songs were chosen by judges from a long list of entries. then filmmakers had the chance to vote for their favourites. in the end, each filmmaker was assigned a song to base their short movie around. the final product is being screened in front of an audience at the recently resurrected Vic theatre (808 douglas) for the first time. “the filmmakers are excited to present their work on a big screen in a proper theatrical environment,” says Bryan Skinner, executive director of CineVic Society of independent Filmmakers, which hosts the event. “i’ve had the chance to see a couple of films that have already come in and they’re fabulous. i’m really excited about some of the work.” having professional quality music to work with

When he looks a little too deeply into the case, Britain’s security apparatus starts to take a threatening interest in his activities. See review. 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. ★★½ despicaBle me 2 (Westshore) The 2010 original, about a loathsome criminal mastermind who was reformed by the love of three young orphan girls, was a goofy delight. The sequel, although still clever, is much more scattershot, with an unimaginative plot and unwelcome dashes of mean spiritedness. Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, and Russell Brand supply the voices. ★★½ elysium -(Odeon/SilverCity) Matt Damon and Jodie Foster star in a futuristic sci-fi thriller where the Earth has become a polluted ghetto and the lucky few get to live in luxury on a floating space station orbiting languidly above. Well, that’s about to change. It’s hard to argue with the politics, but this new film by the writer-director of District 9 is too heavy-handed and cliched to take seriously. fruiTvale sTaTion -(Odeon) There is lots of buzz around this truthbased reenactment of the turbulent last day of a young black man in 2008. ★★ THE GETAWAY -(SilverCity/ Empire 6) Ethan Hawke stars in a kinetic but stunningly simple-minded thriller about a gifted race car driver who gets blackmailed into doing the bidding of a dangerous man with a mysterious agenda. GroWn ups 2 -(Caprice) Despite the name, expect the humour to be decidedly juvenile in this amiable raunchfest about the reunion of five school buddies, who have aged but not matured. Starring Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James, Rob Schneider and David Spade. ★★★ The GrandmasTer -(Odeon) Art film auteur Kar Wai Wong (In The Mood For Love) directs his first martial arts epic with this absorbing, gorgeously filmed account of the legendary martial-arts teacher Ip Man (who coached Bruce Lee). Starring the great Tony Leung (Hero) and Ziyi Zhang (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon). ★★★ in a World -(Odeon) There’s a well-deserved buzz around this sly feminist comedy about an underachieving vocal coach who finally becomes motivated to break into the male-dominated world of movie voice-overs. See review. JoBs -(Empire 6) Ashton Kutcher stars in a promising portrait of Steve Jobs, the college dropout who started a computer revolution that helped define and beautify the wireless world. kick-ass 2 -(Caprice) Expect more hard-edged laughs and jokey violence in this sequel to the big hit about a teenage girl (Chloe Grace Moretz) who was trained as a vigilante by her father. The costars include Jim Carrey, Morris Chestnut, and John Leguizamo. lee daniels’ The BuTler -(Odeon/Empire Uni 4) Forest Whitaker heads up an amazing cast in a drama about a black butler at the White House whose long tenure there overlapped with many powerful domestic and international political events. Costarring Vanessa Redgrave, Oprah Winfrey, David Oyelowo, Terrence Howard, James Marsden, Jane Fonda and Alan Rickman. ★★½ The heaT -(Caprice) In this raucous and sometimes hit-and-miss comedy from Paul Feig (Knocked Up), Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids) play oddcouple 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 lone ranGer -(Caprice) More proves to be less, as the classic western TV show from the 1950s that featured a masked lawman and his Native American sidekick gets a
predictably bombastic treatment from director Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean). Starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer. The morTal insTrumenTs: ciTy of Bones -(Empire 6/ SilverCity/Westshore) Only the bones were left after the critics universally savaged this derivative, overwrought tale of a young woman who discovers that she has unusual powers as she gets drawn into a battle involving a band of angel-like creatures struggling to squash a demonic threat to the entire world. one direcTion: This is us (SilverCity/Westshore) This musical documentary chronicles the meteoric rise of Niall, Zayn, Louis and Harry from their small-town beginnings to world fame as boy-band superstars. ★★★½ pacific rim - (Caprice) Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth) helms this Transformersish epic about monsters that attack Earth and are opposed by giant robots controlled by human “pilots.” This is a skillfully directed and highly imaginative tribute to all those schlocky Godzilla movies of old. ★★ percy Jackson: sea of monsTers -(Empire 6/SilverCity) In this newest addition to the blandly derivative fantasy series that riffs on Greek mythology, the half-human son of Poseidon and his buddies embark on a magical quest to find the Golden Fleece in order to stop an ancient evil from destroying the world. planes -(Empire 6/SilverCity/ Westshore) The same people who made Cars have taken to the skies with a similar family-friendly animated tale about a crop-dusting plane with dreams of winning a famous aerial race. ★★½ red 2 -(Roxy, 9 pm) Newcomer Anthony Hopkins joins Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, Bruce Willis, and Mary-Louise Parker as they reprise their roles as retired CIA “black ops” agents marked for death by their own agency. Although not as good as the 2010 original, this is entertaining enough, mostly due to the sly dialogue and killer performances. smurfs 2 -(SilverCity/Westshore) The blue munchkins are back for more pint-sized adventures, this one involving a sorcerer and a diabolical kidnapping. ★ r.i.p.d. -(Caprice) Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds star in a dismal action comedy that is nothing more than a crass ripoff of Men In Black. Bridges, who plays an “undead cop” who patrols the Earth looking for weird monsters to exterminate, should probably return the Oscar he received for Crazy Heart. TurBo -(Caprice) The latest from Dreamworks Animation is a family comedy about an ordinary garden snail who acquires magic powers – and the chance to achieve his dream of winning the Indy 500. With the voices of Ryan Reynolds, Paul Giamatti, Maya Rudolph, and Samuel L. Jackson. ★★½ The World’s end -(Odeon/SilverCity/Westshore) In a disappointing but occasionally funny follow-up from the makers of Shaun of the Dead, five old friends reunite for a pub crawl only to find themselves in a droll sci-fi action-adventure of epic proportions. Starring Simon Pegg. ★★½ We’re The millers -(Westshore/SilverCity) Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston star in a crass comedy about a long-time pot dealer who hires a stripper and two feral teens to pretend to be his middle class family as cover for when he smuggles a massive load of weed across the border from Mexico to the States. Intermittently quite funny, this is a case of talented performers struggling with a second-rate script. ★★★ Wolverine -(SilverCity/ Westshore) Hairy-faced and Adamantium-clawed Hugh Jackman travels to Japan to confront the diabolical Silver Samurai, in an entertaining Marvel Comics smackdown that combines X-Men flair with martial arts and Yakuza elements. Directed by James Mangold (Walk The Line, 3:10 to Yuma). ★★★ World War Z -(Roxy,7pm) 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.

G
etting full marks for timeliness (if not a lot else), the political thriller Short Circuit is a thoughtful if tepid look at how the modern state can secretly abuse its power. The film opens with a dozen different images of anonymous shoppers in an open-air market in London: it’s real-time footage from surveillance cameras, and is meant to remind us that this is one of the most security-conscious cities in the world. Suddenly the separate images combine into one massive explosion as a terrorist truck bomb kills 120 innocents. The next day a Turkish national is arrested, and two lawyers – Martin Rose (Eric Bana) and Claudia Simmons-Howe (Rebecca Hall) – are appointed by the Attorney General (the great Jim Broadbent) as the man’s council. The matter is highly political, and parts of the case against the alleged bomber involve state secrets that can only be revealed in closed court. Dark currents are flowing beneath the surface, and when Martin digs a little he wonders if his client isn’t actually a mole working for MI5, Britain’s domestic security service. Aware they are being spied on, and now convinced that the “suicide” of a lawyer previously involved with the case may have been a state-sanctioned murder, the two lawyers find themselves desperately pondering how much they are prepared to risk to see the truth come out. All the elements of a fine film are here. The two lawyers have a sour romantic history that adds a layer of tension as they try to piece together the truth of their case. There are suspenseful episodes of skullduggery and violence as agents do whatever it takes to spare the government catastrophic embarrassment. And the cast is excellent – especially Broadbent, who is deliciously poisonous as the consummately soulless politician who believes that “justice” must be stage managed on occasion. But nothing quite gels, and this feels like an over-refined version of the hit TV show MI5. Rating:

Finding her voice
W
ritten and directed by as well as starring Lake Bell (It’s Complicated, No Strings Attached), In A World is one of those rare contemporary comedies that actually has something on its mind. Bell stars as Carol, an under-achieving vocal coach who lives in the shadow of her overbearing father, Sam (Fred Melamed), who is a legend in the world of “voice artists” who do the narration for movie trailers and national ads. As the movie starts Sam is evicting 30-year-old Carol from his house because he wants to install his newest girlfriend in her place. Carol, a hapless slacker finally confronted with the need to earn rent, has no choice but to try harder on the work front. Unexpectedly she gets hired as the voice of a big ad campaign – stealing the contract out from under one of the country’s biggest voice stars in the process. And in a business that is almost entirely a boy’s club, this has repercussions that echo throughout the film. As we watch Carol literally and metaphorically finding her voice in an industry that – like Hollywood itself – is often hostile to female interests, it’s not hard to figure out the theme of World. But Bell tackles the subject with sly aplomb, and also has the good sense to cast Geena Davis in an acerbic cameo as a film executive producing a ‘tweener movie akin to the Twilight series. (Her acidic comments about the romance-fantasy genre are a brutally amusing complement to the movie’s feminist perspective.) Well acted, funny, and insightful, World is worth a visit. Rating:

SIx years ago, brothers Jamie and Jordie Benn stood on the ice at Bear Mountain Arena during Victoria Grizzlies camp. They were looking over the names of the remaining players on the roster. “Who’s this 1993 kid still on here?” Jamie said. “That’s me,” said Walton, who was standing behind them. At 14, Walton was the only 1993-born player still in camp. Jamie was impressed. It’s a moment Walton never forgot. Earlier this week Walton, now 20, was named the captain of the Victoria Cougars. The Cougars host the Westshore Wolves on Sunday (Sept. 8), 3:30 p.m. at Archie Browning Sports Centre. Spending his final year of junior hockey in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League is far from the B.C. Hockey League career Walton had expected. He never did make the Grizzlies, despite practicing with the team as an underager during head coach Geoff Courtnall’s tenure. But he’s honoured to lead the Cougars all the same, he said. “(Walton) has all the qualities of a great leader and the qualities to rally a team to a common purpose,” Cougars head coach Mark Van Helvoirt said. “His work ethic is second to none.” Walton is the remaining piece of last year’s leadership trio of captain Brody Coulter and assistant captain Sam Rice, who have moved on to college teams this year. With 14 new players, Walton is leading the Cougars into a new era. “Brody and Sam are two of my best friends so it’s going to

Walton wore a face shield as he played through two seperate facial lacerations during the playoffs from a puck and a skate. be different. It’s nice to be able to follow in their footsteps.” A couple of regime changes kept Walton from ever playing for Grizzlies and it’s been to the Cougars’ advantage. Walton was named the VIJHL’s unsung player of the year in 2012-13 and was a major role player in getting the team to the provincial gold medal final the past two seasons. “This season will be a learning curve and take longer than years previous, but the team is coming together well and we can already see improve-
ments.” In other words, a thirdstraight trip to the Cyclone Taylor Cup is still the goal, but this team is not expected to repeat last year’s record season, when the Cougars marched through the 48-game schedule with one regulation loss. “(The Cyclone Taylor Cup) will be more difficult this year but if we put the effort into practice and games, it will all come down to work ethic.” Along with his season-long expectations, Walton will also have to change daily expecta-
tions. When the team wasn’t playing its best, he wasn’t shy about showing his displeasure. And that’s no way to go about mentoring younger players, he said. “In the past I was probably one of the guys to get mad if something goes wrong, so I’ve got to control that.” All indications are that the Cougars are in good hands with Walton. A product of the Juan de Fuca minor hockey program, Walton has been groomed in the same Victoria hockey pipeline as the best of them. He came through Spencer middle school’s hockey academy under Grizzlies onagain-off-again assistant coach Craig Didmon. At Spencer, a melting pot of some of the city’s best middle school players, he played with Wade Murphy of the NCAA’s North Dakota hockey, formally known as the Fighting Sioux, and with Travis Stephens and Braden Pears of the BCHL Trail Smoke Eaters. Walton’s had his own taste of the BCHL, having played about a dozen games over the past two seasons for the powerhouse Powell River Kings, including the playoffs. “My only time playing junior A at Bear Mountain Arena was against the Grizzlies so that was special,” he said. “I’m not sure I’m in the (Kings’) mix anymore as a 20-year-old but, it was a great experience playing for them during seasons they came close to winning the BHCL championship.” The number of key contributors returning to the Cougars is low this year. Graham Zagrodney and Jake Stolz lead the defence with Jake Daughtry, Jordan Davie, David Marshall, Howard Howden and Jesse Nixon all looking to take on bigger responsibilities. sports@vicnews.com

Runners set 10,000-metre track records at UVic Two age-group records were broken at The Q’s Victoria Run Series’ final meet of the 2013 season at UVic’s Centennial Stadium on Saturday. Running diva Marilyn Arsenault (the opera singer) crushed the main event, the Maude Hunter’s B.C. Championship 10,000metre race, with a Canadian age-group 40-44 record time of 34 minutes 18.21 seconds. That effort shaves four seconds off the previous record, set by Arsenault at last year’s event. She is currently in training for the Toronto Scotiabank Waterfront Marathon, where she hopes to run under 2:40 and qualify for the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games. Saturday also saw two-time Olympian Bruce Deacon of Victoria set the 45-49 agegroup record for 10,000-m with a time of 31:55.92. The top three men in the 10,000-m were all master-age (over 40) runners, as Deacon was second overall in the event to fellow over-40 Victoria runner Jim Finlayson (31:31.12) and former UVic Vikes athlete Craig Odermatt was third (32:20.60). The event also hosted two 5,000-m races, which were won by Frank Towler and Martha McNeely, in the men’s and women’s 60-69 divisions, respectively. Towler ran 21:44.99 and McNeely finished in 26:54.70. Chris Galley won the open men’s 5,000-m in 17:01.74 and Courtney Cameron won the women’s in 19:56.19 The series is introducing a new road race, the Synergy Shuffle, on Sept. 15 with an 11 a.m. start time.

Zoot 10K will run through Oak Bay, Uplands Travis Paterson News staff
What was once the weekend of the Land’s End half marathon, a Sunday morning jaunt through the lonely roads of the Saanich Peninsula, is now the Zoot 10K in Oak Bay. The new 10-kilometre race debuts on Sunday (Sept. 8). It starts in Oak Bay Village and heads past Estevan Village through the Uplands with a turnaround at Cattle Point. Minor hills and a 500-metre incline will challenge the runners, said Island Runner running store proprietor and former Royal Victoria Marathon winner Phil Nichols. The Zoot has evolved from the McNeill Bay Half Marathon Nichols organized the past two years, which was created to fill the gap of the Land’s End race. “The reasoning was to have an event that complements the running community and 10 km is a really good buildup for people doing the (GoodLife Fitness Victoria half marathon in October).” The numbers for the McNeill Bay event weren’t high, and with an influx of other races and events this time of the season, it led to a redesign. “There are more alternative athletic events popping up such as Tour de Victoria, Tough Mudder, various triathlons, CrossFit contests and more, but the same athletes still use the 10k as a measuring stick,” Nichols said. “The 10 km distance was chosen to welcome walkers, beginners and expert runners.” The Zoot route is separate from the Oak Bay Kool Half Marathon that runs in the spring and only duplicates about 500 metres of the Victoria Marathon course. And while Nichols emphasizes the race is for all levels, it will have some flash as Olympic 1,500-metre runner Hillary Stellingwerff will be in the lead pack, as will UVic Vike Brittany Therrien, winner of the Magical Mile last spring. The race is named for the athletic apparel company providing race shirts. sports@vicnews.com

There will also be more than 20 UVic Vikes, current and former, playing in the tournament, either on the Canadian teams or the University Selects team. “This is a tournament that is great for players 18, 19 and 20 years old who aren’t ready to play internationally but need that experience,” said tournament director Doug Tate, coach of the UVic Vikes men’s rugby team. The tourney starts at 10 a.m. and runs all day with two exhibition matches, a women’s game at 2 p.m. and an under-16 boys match at 4 p.m. All round robin games are 10 minutes with 10 minute shield, bowl, plate and cup finals starting at 4:20 p.m. (approximately).

Ambriss Clermont ride for Hospice Travis Paterson News staff
The Ambriss Clermont Memorial Ride for Hospice, a group cycling ride, leaves Sunday morning for its second annual event. The decision to do the ride for Victoria Hospice was simply to honour her memory and raise money for the facility that cared for her final days with cancer in February of 2012, said son Martin Clermont. Martin helps run the Russ Hay’s The Bicycle Shop at Hillside Avenue which parents Ambriss and Mike purchased in 1972. “We’d like to grow the ride out

Safety Recall Notice Indoor Hanging Chair
Travis Paterson Pat Kay kicked 20 points and led the B.C. Bears to its first win of the 2013 Canadian Rugby Championship, 40-18 over the Atlantic Rock at Westhills Stadium on Monday (Sept. 2). The win gave the Bears a split of its two-game weekend at Westhills, having lost 11-7 to the Ontario Blues on Friday. However, the Bears have just one win in three CRC games while the Blues are first, the only undefeated team through three games. The Bears and Wolf Pack (2-2) can still catch the Bears and win the CRC while the Rock (1-3) are mathematically eliminated. The Bears play its final two games of the CRC on the road against the Ontario Blues in Lindsay on Sept. 14 and against the Prairie Wolf Pack (2-2) in Edmonton on Sept. 21.

of an opportunity to create a real fundraiser for Hospice, that’s the reason to attract people, it’s a great organization that needs the funds,” Martin said. The ride has three distances, 60 kilometres for beginners, 125 km and 270 km. Mike will do the 60 km with daughters Loree and Kim while Martin will do the 125 km. “We’ll have about 50 to 75 cyclists and it’s just about fun and riding and supporting Hospice.” Fundraising is up to the riders, by donation or through pledges, but there’s no entry fee on the waiver.

Motivated by personal experience Chris Bush and Auren Ruvinsky Black Press
Few reasons are more compelling to grab a spot on the 2013 Tour de Rock team than to help give your own son and other children a fighting chance to beat cancer. Const. Misty Dmytar, 39, is relatively new to the Nanaimo RCMP detachment, but she and her two-year-old son, Griffyn, are well known in the Comox Valley where she served until recently, and to Tour de Rock teams from the last couple of years. She is one of two riders from the Nanaimo area, joining Const. Ed de Jong, who is based at the detachment on Gabriola Island. When Griffyn was just four days old he was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a rare form of infant cancer that presents about 50-70 cases a year in Canada. Dmytar and her partner had to get Griffyn into treatment immediately. “Griffyn was the youngest they’d ever seen that had come in with neuroblastoma,” Dmytar said. Surgeons took a tumour the size of a baseball, weighing 230 grams, off of his right adrenal gland. They took the gland too. Initial treatment produced positive results, but an ultrasound taken a few months later revealed a tumour on Griffyn’s other adrenal gland and spots on his liver. Five months of chemotherapy treatment halted the disease. The tumour shrunk to half its size and the spots on his liver are still there, but the disease has been effectively dormant since 2010. For now and hopefully forever, Griffyn has

Tour de Rock riders Misty Dmytar, left, with her son Griffyn, a cancer survivor; Ed de Jong; and Jesse Foreman are all motivated to participate in Cops for Cancer by different experiences, but they’re hoping their efforts pay off in improving the lives for children and families who are going through cancer. beaten cancer. He returns for more tests this month. In the meantime, Dmytar is training for the tour, which starts Sept. 21. Combined with fundraising, it’s a big commitment for a mother of two who works 12-hour shifts. Const. Ed de Jong, 43, is a recent arrival to the central Island region. He moved to Gabriola with his family in January after serving in Terrace, B.C. His reason for getting in the saddle for the 2013 Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock is simply to offer something back to the community in which he works. “For me, being in the position I’m in as an RCMP member, the ability to give back to the community is a big thing for me and just the fact that this event supports kids with cancer makes it such an easy decision to do,” de Jong said. With two children – a son, 11,
NEW 2 LEVEL
and daughter, 14 – who are healthy, de Jong counts his blessings. His father-in-law is a cancer survivor. Living on Gabriola Island means catching a ferry to Nanaimo to meet up with other team members for training rides out of Parksville and Nanaimo. The time and transportation restrictions have translated into de Jong doing most of his training alone on Gabriola roads. A 90-kilometre ride means three laps around the island. Oceanside RCMP’s Tour de Rock rider Cpl. Jesse Foreman said he was inspired to get involved by “looking at my own healthy kids and when I saw some who weren’t healthy I wanted to do something.” His boys are currently seven and nine, making their understanding and support important to Foreman as he squeezes training between his family and full-time job at the Oceanside detachment where he’s in charge of community policing.
Like his fellow riders, he’s been touched by cancer in his family with a grandfather, aunt and uncle all dealing with the disease on some level. He is also inspired by five-yearold Lucas, the junior rider he’s been teamed up with. The local kid was in and out of the hospital for eight months and lost his kidney to cancer, but is now in remission. Foreman said that other than having to go back to Children’s Hospital every four months for tests until he’s 18, “you can’t tell him apart from any other kid.” For these three riders, they say it’s the least they can do to support these kids. “The more money we raise through Tour de Rock, the more chance these kids have and the better the treatments that will come out,” Dmytar said. photos@nanaimobulletin.com writer@pqbnews.com

Celebrating the Stanley Park drive: a Vancouver tradition for 125 years The Vancouver Park Board and the City of Vancouver celebrated Stanley Park’s 125th anniversary with a summer festival and classic car show to commemorate more ALYN EDWARDS than a century of the CLASSIC Sunday drive around RIDES the park. One of the cars displayed was Lorne Findlay’s 1927 Auburn that was photographed inside Stanley Park’s famous Hollow Tree in 2011 to mark the success of a very public effort to save the Vancouver landmark. The Hollow Tree had been left leaning precariously by a storm that devastated the park in 2006. The photograph of Findlay’s Auburn replicates a famous photograph of another 1927 Auburn parked inside the tree more than 80 years before. There were only two Auburn sedans sold in Vancouver in 1927 and historians believe it was the Auburn dealer who was photographed with his new car, equipped with optional wire wheels, at the Hollow Tree. Lorne Findlay owns the second 1927 Auburn, sold with standard wheels in Vancouver, which he purchased from the original Vancouver owner in 1961. The car hadn’t been driven since 1933. To commemorate the thousands of photographs of cars taken at Stanley Park’s Hollow Tree, local members of the Vintage Car Club of Canada had their classics on display at the entrance to Stanley Park along with a large display of Hollow Tree car photos. In the 1860s, the 400-hectare (1,000acre) peninsula that was almost

When the City of Vancouver was incorporated in 1886, city fathers immediately petitioned the Dominion government to lease the reserve to the city for a park. On Sept. 27, 1888, almost exactly 125 years ago, the park was officially opened and named after Lord Stanley, Canada’s Governor General at the time.

Stanley Park Tradition Continued from Pg. B1
world famous Stanley Park Drive led to a 1,000-year-old hollow cedar tree with an 18-metre (60 foot) circumference that would become known across the land as the most photographed tree in the country. From the earliest time, Sunday drivers would inevitably stop at the Hollow Tree for family photos. There were horse-drawn carriages backed into the Hollow Tree, people on horses and even an elephant as a stunt. There was so much automobile traffic at the Hollow Tree in the early years, the City of Vancouver awarded a contract for a Stanley Park photographer set up in a little log cabin to take photos for
a fee. The tree was saved from road widening in 1910 through the lobbying of the photographer who depended on the Hollow Tree for his living. Thousands of photographs of automobiles both inside and alongside Stanley Park’s Hollow Tree were taken in the past 100 years. Among the Stanley Park Hollow Tree photos is one showing a 1903 White Steamer, believed to be Vancouver’s first car for hire, and a 1912 Model T Ford Town Car that was registered to the Union Taxi Cab Company, located downtown on Columbia Street.

1904 White Steam Car at Brockton Point
Macdonald, who successfully lobbied to have the tree saved, says the Hollow Tree was a major tourist attraction by itself. “Tourist buses were waiting outside Vancouver hotels to take guests around the park,” he says. “The road went around the Hollow Tree and everyone stopped to get their photo taken.” An historic Vancouver postcard shows 10 tourists in bus backed into the Hollow Tree almost 100 years ago. Today, the Hollow Tree is not accessible to cars but thousands of tourists still stop to get their photo taken there every year.
Passengers in a 1915 Cadillac are pictured at the Stanley Park Hollow Tree. Vic Diggins, holding his year-old son Steve, is pictured with his new 1952 Morris Oxford at Stanley Park’s Hollow Tree.

Luxury & SuperCar show Galaxy Motors offers car washes for food donations comes to VanDusen Galaxy Motors invites Island motorists to get their vehicles looking spiffy and do a good deed for their community at the same time. Building on the success of last year’s initiatives, Galaxy Motors is once again hosting an Island food drive, through Sept. 15. Staff will provide a free car wash, vacuum and window cleaning at their three locations for anyone who brings in a minimum donation of $10 worth
of non-expired, non-perishable food items. All the proceeds from the food drive will go directly to local food banks. For more information, visit Galaxy Motors online at www.galaxymotors. net or stop by in person in Colwood at 1772 Island Hwy., or up-Island in Duncan at 7329 Trans Canada Hwy. or in Nanaimo at 4777 Island Highway North.
SuperCar enthusiasts will want to make their way to Vancouver this weekend for the Luxury & SuperCar Weekend at VanDusen Garden on Saturday and Sunday.

A variety of special events are scheduled on-site and around town through the weekend.
In addition to sampling Italian dishes in the VIP section at VanDusen Garden, Francesco’s Ristorante is also hosting three SuperCar dinner events, which kicked off with the Ferrari Maserati of Vancouver dinner on Wednesday and continues Saturday with the American SuperCars dinner at 7 p.m. and the Lamborghini 50th anniversary tribute dinner on Sunday at 7 p.m. Reservations are highly recommended.

Toyota readies for 2015 production Fuel Cell Hybrid launch Metroland Media Carguide Magazine
vicnews
.com
The FCV-R concept illustrates Toyota’s progress toward developing an affordable fourdoor sedan model for production with no compromise in interior space and a cruising range of more than 300 miles.
The twin fuel tanks and the fuel cell stack are located beneath the vehicle floor, which means there is no impact on the cabin and load space. Toyota expects FCHVs to reach full mass-market commercialization during the 2020s, by when it aims to be selling tens of thousands of vehicles annually.

Toyota believes the Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle offers the best solution to the challenges of energy sources and emissions, with hydrogen as an ideal, ultra-clean fuel. At next week’s 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show it will demonstrate how it has overcome some of the historic barriers to developing a marketable fuel cell vehicle and how it is closing in on its goal of achieving a driving range and performance comparable to conventional petrol and diesel engines, but with no harmful tailpipe emissions. Toyota applied its Hybrid Synergy Drive technology – the power system used by Prius and its other full hybrid production models – in its FCHV development, replacing the petrol engine with a fuel cell and the conventional fuel tank with highpressure hydrogen tanks. The FCHV uses the same electrical components as a full hybrid powertrain, as well as a 21 kW battery to store energy recovered by its
regenerative braking system. Having first unveiled its FCV-R concept at the 2011 Tokyo motor show, Toyota has continued to make progress towards its planned introduction of an affordable FCHV saloon model in Japan, the U.S. and Europe by 2015. Development of the production model has seen a focus on significant cost-reduction, durability, reliability and improvements in well-to-wheel CO2 emissions. Creating a car that’s a practical proposition for today’s motorists has required particular attention to the design of the fuel cell and the hydrogen fuel tank. Toyota has succeeded in downsizing the fuel cell stack by achieving the highest fuel cell power density yet – 3.0kW per litre. A marked increase in the fuel cell stack’s energy efficiency has allowed for the size of the vehicle’s fuel tank to be reduced, so that the latest design features two tanks rather than the four originally envisaged. This also allows different materials to be used, which has a positive impact on overall costs.

Ford upgrades 2014 C-MAX Hybrid for better efficiency Changes to 2013 Label to improve customer satisfaction several hardware changes, including:
Metroland Media Carguide Magazine
Underscoring its commitment to fuel economy leadership, Ford Motor Company today said it is upgrading the 2014 Ford C-MAX Hybrid, which will go on sale in December. The company also is changing the way it tests and labels the 2013 C-MAX Hybrid for fuel-efficiency to better match performance and improve customer satisfaction. The upgrades build on powertrain software updates Ford announced last month for the 2013 C-MAX Hybrid. The 2014 C-MAX also will benefit from

• Gearing changes that result in a more efficient transmission drive ratio • New hood seal, front and rear tire deflectors, A-pillar mouldings and the addition of rear lift gate deflectors to improve vehicle aerodynamics • New engine oil with reduced friction The enhancements to the 2014 C-MAX Hybrid are expected to improve customers’ on-road fuelefficiency, especially at highway speeds. In addition to improving the vehicle itself, Ford is changing the way it generates the L/100 km label for C-MAX Hybrid going forward. Previously – and consistent with NRCAN’S Guidelines – testing of the Fusion Hybrid was used to generate fuel-efficiency labels for a family of vehicles, including both Fusion Hybrid and C-MAX Hybrid. The result was the same fuelefficiency label values for both vehicles. Label changes for the 2013
Label changes for the 2013 C-MAX Hybrid will result in a higher combined fuel-efficiency rating of 4.5L/100 km and current C-MAX Hybrid owners will receive a goodwill payment for the difference.
C-MAX Hybrid will result in a higher combined fuel-efficiency rating of 4.5L/100 km. Because this voluntary step results in L/100 km values different from the original C-MAX Hybrid label, Ford also is making a goodwill payment to current C-MAX Hybrid owners for the estimated average fuel cost of the difference between the two labels.
Customers who purchased their vehicle will receive a cheque from Ford for $895. Customers who leased their vehicle will receive a cheque for $595. As of July, Ford has sold approximately 1,000 C-MAX Hybrid vehicles in Canada.

Kia Niro Concept to be unveiled at Frankfurt Kia has confirmed that its dramatic new European concept, to be unveiled next week at the 65th Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung (IAA) in Frankfurt, will be called the Kia Niro. The Kia Niro hints at a possible future B-segment contender ready to take on the urban environment with style and tenacity, and will preview an innovative new powertrain when it is revealed on Sept. 10. The car was designed at Kia’s Frankfurt design studio – less than a
kilometre away from the IAA – under the direction of Gregory Guillaume, Chief Designer Europe. Accepting any challenge that the assured modern motorist may throw at it, Niro combines a mischievous character in a clearly robust and substantial yet stylish body shape featuring a mix of contrasting materials – including stainless steel elements – in compact, purposeful dimensions. Born out of Kia’s determination
to seek new compact-car options for the individualistic and demanding driver for whom size is an issue, Niro features intriguing elements not always associated with smaller cars and has been created in Europe with European tastes and expectations very much in mind. Niro’s unveiling in Frankfurt will be used to gauge potential customer response for future showroom models.

Toyota gives sneak preview of its hybrid future Metroland Media WheelsTalk.com
Toyota will spearhead a new era in hybrid technology with its next generation Prius, promising further gains in fuel economy and reduced emissions. As part of its focus on its hybrid leadership and achievements at the Frankfurt motor show, Toyota has provided a sneak preview of the technical advances that will underpin future Toyota and Lexus hybrid models. Emphasizing Toyota’s continued commitment to auto industry leadership in hybrid, the next-generation Prius will be the first in a broad range of Toyota and Lexus vehicles that will make use of a substantially improved family of hybrid powertrains. These new powertrains will deliver significant improvements in fuel economy from a more compact package that is lighter in weight and lower in cost. Their performance will reflect the significant advances Toyota is making in battery, electric motor and petrol engine development in its wider strategy to deliver electric vehicle power through hybrid, battery electric and fuel cell technologies. In each of its three generations, Prius has delivered
an average reduction of 10 per cent in its CO2emissions. Toyota’s challenge is to continue to improve at this rate. The next Prius will feature improved batteries with higher energy density, which means greater energy storage capacity within a smaller unit. Toyota, already a leader in advanced battery technology, has stepped up its research, development and production capacity for both nickel metalhydride and lithium-ion, and will use each technology where appropriate in it expanding focus on vehicle electrification. It has also ramped up development of new battery technologies such as solid state and lithiumair, and devoted resources to chemistries beyond lithium, such as magnesium and other lowvalence materials. The next Prius will use smaller electric motors, but with a higher power density. The motors in the current model have four times the power density of those used by the original Prius back in 1999, and the improvement will be higher still in the next generation car. The thermal efficiency of the gasoline engine will improve, too, from 38.5 per cent currently to a world-best of more than 40 per cent.
