Bong shop ban being considered Esquimalt targets stores selling drug paraphernalia Daniel Palmer News staff
Esquimalt bong stores could go up in smoke next year, thanks to a proposed bylaw update put forward
at Monday’s council meeting. Following on the heels of Coun. Tim Morrison’s attempt to outlaw a bong mascot in the township earlier this year, the updated business licence and regulation bylaw includes the following: “Any business selling drug paraphernalia will not be permitted to operate within a three-kilometre radius from any school grounds.” As Esquimalt is only seven square
kilometres in total, the ban would effectively apply to the entire municipality. “We’re not saying no to business, but we are sending a message that we have standards and we’re concerned about certain types of businesses,” said Mayor Barb Desjardins.

Drivers on Douglas Street in Victoria may, before long, find themselves watching buses roll past them during morning and afternoon commuting times. Phase 1 of a joint project between B.C. Transit and the City of Victoria will see vehicle lanes along the main thoroughfare between Fisgard Street and Hillside Avenue realigned to create a bus/ bike-only lane next to the curb. Victoria Regional Transit Commission members this week approved a move that will see the lanes activated from 6 to 9 a.m. southbound from Monday to Friday, and from 3 to 6 p.m. northbound. “The great part about this is … by using the curb we’re able to add this lane and not take away from general traffic lanes,” said Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin. Line painting and the removal of pedestrian traffic bulbs – they’ll be replaced with crossing lights – starts in November. The goal, Fortin said, is to have the work completed by early to midDecember, before the major
Christmas shopping rush begins downtown. “I think we’ve done a remarkable job to try to provide benefit to transit users, give the commuter a faster trip overall, extend the bike lanes – and we’re still able to accommodate the business concerns,” he said. Having dedicated bus lanes will make the transit system more efficient, Fortin said. “Because of the congestion, we’ve needed to have three times the amount of buses on there than we would need based on usage. You have to make them run on time.” The change will affect 80 parking spaces on Douglas. Phase 2 of the project, already agreed to by Victoria, will extend from Hillside to Tolmie Avenue at the Saanich border. From there to Uptown and beyond is the responsibility of the Ministry of Transportation, said B.C. Transit spokesperson Meribeth Burton. “This is terrific news for our customers in that it makes B.C. Transit more frequent and reliable and it gives us the competitive edge over the single-occupancy vehicle,” she said. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

The annual Terry Fox Run and “Hair Do” event is at Mile 0 this Sunday, starting at 10:30 a.m.
Canadian hero’s legacy lives on Variety of events slated for the 33rd annual Terry Fox Run Charla Huber News staff
No matter how many decades have passed since the original Marathon of Hope, each September Canadians stop to remember and honour Terry Fox. Whether it's sitting down to watch a film, shave a head or run for the cause, there is something for everyone at this year's Terry Fox events at Mile 0. An outdoor showing of the film Terry will kick off the festivities on Saturday, Sept. 14 at the monument of the Canadian hero. The movie will begin at dusk. Prior to the film, Johnny Vallis will perform at 7:30 p.m. "Terry is a really well-done
movie," said Linda Johnstone, a volunteer and event organizer. "People can come out and learn so much about Terry. It also gets people in the mood for our Terry weekend." The following day, Sunday, Sept. 15, are the Terry Fox Run and the seventh annual Terry Fox Great Canadian Hair Do based at Mile 0. The run begins a 10:30 a.m. with registration at 9 a.m. The route begins near Dallas and Douglas streets and participants will walk or run along Dallas Road to St. Charles Street and back to Mile 0. "I've never missed a run, I've done them all. This will be my 33rd," said Johnstone, a retired gym teacher from Lambrick
Park secondary. This will also be Johnstone's seventh year organizing the Hair Do event. It began as a head shave, but the name was changed to encourage people who may not be comfortable going down to the scalp to cut their hair. "We do this to continue on Terry's dream, so many people are surviving cancer now because of all the research," she said. "Come on out and raise some money in Terry's name." To sign up for the Terry Fox Great Canadian Hair Do, contact Johnstone at 250-477-6545 or lindajohnstone@shaw.ca. For more details on the run, visit terryfox.org/run. editor@vicnews.com
After a year of planning, 57 public meetings and input from more than 6,000 residents, Victoria staff have begun implementing the city’s official community plan. The plan prioritizes everything from growing neighbourhood commercial centres to building walkable and cycle-friendly communities to disaster management and food security. “Burnside-Gorge is actually the only neighbourhood that does not have a regional hub,” said Suzanne Cole, executive director of the Burnside-Gorge Community Association. “We’re looking forward to the creation of an (urban village) to really make this a destination neighbourhood, as opposed to a pass-through neighbourhood.” The association hopes to work with city planners to identify a natural urban village and look at rapid transit and traffic-calming options through its main arteries of Burnside and Gorge roads and Douglas Street. Each of Victoria’s 13 neighbourhood associations submitted priorities to city hall prior to the final draft of the OCP last year. The result is 174 “actions” that are slated for completion over the next 30 years. About 100 initiatives – they range from the development of a central business district to the completion of parks and bicycle master plans – will be completed
Work begins on luxury marina The first foundations of a luxury marina have been laid off the shore of the Songhees Walkway in the Inner Harbour. Pile-driving for the Victoria International Marina took place Aug. 30, after the City of Victoria issued a building permit for the work. Approval for the marina has been given by the federal and provincial governments,
Esquimalt First Nation and Songhees Nation. Once complete, the marina will include retail buildings along the walkway and 29 moorage slips for yachts 65 to 150 feet in length. Work is expected to be completed in 2015. dpalmer@vicnews.com
or underway within five years. A staff report also highlights 11 unfunded initiatives – items not covered in the city’s budgeting – mostly related to the region’s 32 per cent probability of a major earthquake within the next 50 years. “If the earthquake hits the region, it hits the province, so our recovery plan needs to be done in conjunction with all the surrounding municipalities in the Capital Region, and obviously with our provincial government,” Mayor Dean Fortin said. Victoria lacks a citywide seismic assessment for both public and private buildings, as well as a comprehensive clean-up plan in the event of a natural disaster. But emergency preparedness is too much for the city to tackle on its own, Fortin said. “Just because it’s unfunded, it doesn’t mean it’s the City of Victoria’s responsibility to fund it,” he said. Another unfunded initiative hanging over council is dealing with the aging Crystal Pool. A decision on that matter is expected next spring, after council receives public input on whether to sell the property or complete necessary upgrades. The OCP is the city’s overarching visionary document and all future policy decisions must fit within its mandate. View the implementation plan at bit.ly/16kQtHI. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Europe’s Beauty Secret Clinically Proven!
Fewer lines and wrinkles, thicker hair, stronger nails and denser bones.
Collagen is the key. Molecular biologists have pinpointed the key structural protein for creating smooth skin, thick strong hair, and strong nails. It’s your body’s beauty protein, collagen. During youth, you have a rich abundance of collagen. In addition, the collagen forms itself in a resilient “tight mesh” matrix. This “ideal” collagen condition prevents wrinkles from forming, gives skin elasticity, helps create thick, beautiful hair and strong nails. But over the years, collagen diminishes. Starting at age 21, collagen diminishes by 1% per year. By age 30, signs of reduced collagen on skin, hair and nails become visible, not to mention the increase risk of fracture for bones. Say the words “healthy bones,” and the first word that probably pops up is calcium, but did you know that bones are made up of 30% collagen? Collagen provides strength and flexibility to bones. When collagen diminishes – your risk of fracture increases! Now, genuine collagen regeneration is possible with clinically proven BioSil™. BioSil, a patented cholinestabilized orthosilicic acid (ch-OSA®) complex, helps your body to generate its own collagen to provide support for denser and more flexible bones as well as beautiful skin, hair and nails. BioSil has been tested in rigorous double-blind placebo controlled trials for both efficacy and safety. Regenerate Collagen with BioSil, the only clinically proven product with ch-OSA – the most absorbable form of silicon.

French is the new black as school comes back into session for students across the Island and B.C. According to a recent study by Canadian Parents for French, B.C. and Yukon division, French immersion enrolment in B.C.’s public education system has reached a record 15th year of consecutive growth. Figures indicate that “Yes, French 47,857 students – 8.5 per cent of the student immersion is on the population in B.C. – are rise in our area, now registered in the program. There are especially for our also more than 187,000 kindergarten levels.” students learning – Simon Burgers, French through basic Greater Victoria core French. School District Of the 7,894 students registered in kindergarten to Grade 5 in the Greater Victoria School District (SD61), 23.4 per cent are enrolled in French immersion. A further 25.3 per cent of Grade 6 to 8 students are registered in the program at the middle school level. High school registration numbers for the district are not yet available. “Yes, French immersion is on the rise in our area, especially for our kindergarten levels,” said Simon Burgers, modern language co-ordinator for SD61. “French immersion in Victoria has grown on an annual basis and Victoria has seen an increase in kindergarten registrations in French immersion.” Burgers says Victoria lays claim to the largest French immersion program per total student enrolment in the province. “The Greater Victoria School District continues to lead the way in offering our families many educational program options,” said Wendy Holob, principal of École Willows elementary. “We offer sport academies, schools of choice and French immersion programs as opportunities to meet individual student’s interests and strengths. In their own ways, each of these programs adds to our vibrant school environments.” According to Statistics Canada, regardless of mother tongue, those with immersion skills have an employment rate higher than the national average, and an unemployment rate of four per cent (under the national average of 7.7 per cent.) “We believe French programs are popular because they are widely recognized by parents as providing young students with the tools and experiences that will enrich their lives and help them prepare for the future,” said Debra Pool, president of Canadian Parents for French B.C. and Yukon, an organization dedicated to promoting second language opportunities for all young students.

OUR VIEW
Gov’t can’t walk and chew gum Out front of the big stone building in Victoria’s Inner Harbour is where people watch Symphony Splash, where tourists snap pics, where the annual marathon has its finish line and where concerts are held on Canada Day.
The grounds of the legislature are busy, except as a place of work for our 85 elected provincial representatives. With another fall sitting cancelled, MLAs will have sat in the chamber for 36 days this year. It’s good work if you can get it. Cancelling legislative sessions has become the norm for the B.C. Liberals. House leader Mike de Jong has repeated the script four times now – he has announced the cancellation of the fall sitting in 2013, 2012, 2008 and 2006. Each time, the NDP opposition registered its outrage with the media, declaring the cancellation an abdication of democracy and accusing the Liberals of trying to avoid tough issues and questions. Premier Christy Clark points out the legislature sat in the summer after the spring election and that the government will get more work done not being in session. The government apparently can’t walk and chew gum at the same time. The province is facing big questions about the direction of its energy policy, the shrinking provincial budget surplus (or increasing deficit, depending on who you talk to), increasing B.C. Hydro rates and our role as a Pacific Rim economy. No matter your political stripe, B.C. residents should be skeptical of the claim the government has no pressing legislation or issues to discuss through the fall. Whether it’s the federal Conservatives proroguing Parliament or the B.C. Liberals cancelling sessions, senior government inaction serves only to perpetuate cynicism and promote alienation of the public from politics. Our local government councillors and mayors, most who are paid relatively little and certainly don’t get the pensions and spending perks of senior elected officials, normally don’t get the luxury of cancelling public meetings. The outrage would be heard far and wide if Victoria city council decided to avoid its chamber to avoid tough questions or “to get more work done.” Other than promoting liquefied natural gas as a future cash cow, the Liberals’ priorities and agenda for the next four years remain unclear. For a full public accounting of our rising provincial debt and struggling budget, stay tuned, five months from now.

the Senate, in consultation with the provinces. Sadly, Conservatives and Liberals worked together to defeat that plan. In doing so, they voted to keep sending our tax dollars to an institution in which we do not have a single representative, rather than to invest in the things all Canadians need. Imagine what else we could do with a $100 million a year. How many new schools, bridges and hospitals could be built? How many polluted waterways could be restored and put to productive use? How many seniors could we lift out of poverty and give back the dignity they’ve been denied by Conservative cuts? Canadians know the status quo isn’t good enough and they know how we can fix it. Every province in Canada manages without an unelected upper house; so can the federal government. The Senate does nothing that cannot be done by the elected House of Commons. Change won’t be easy, but already three provincial premiers are on record in support of abolition. Here in B.C., Premier Christy Clark told reporters, “We don’t really need a Senate.” The recent Senate scandals are nothing new, but for many Canadians they’re the last straw. More and more, we are seeing the Senate for what it is: a vestigial organ that adds nothing to our democracy – and sometimes gets in the way. It’s time to pull the plug. Murray Rankin is NDP Member of Parliament for Victoria.

LETTERS
MLA explains voting record Re: Weaver’s actions somehow ignored (Letters, Sept. 6) I thank Mr. Faris for challenging me to justify why I voted in support of the B.C. budget on July 8. The motion on which I voted was deemed to be a confidence motion in the government. Were the motion to fail (for example in the case of a minority government), we would be heading into another general election. The B.C. Liberals proposed this same budget prior to the election and got re-elected. B.C. voters had an opportunity to elect another party but chose to re-elect the Liberals for four more years. I felt it was important to support British Columbians in this regard.
Over the course of my campaign, I said numerous times that I would work with whichever party formed government. I do not believe that opposing the budget that the Liberals ran on (and won on) a mere eight weeks after the election would be fulfilling this promise. During the campaign I also stated that I wanted to do politics differently. Opposition members are afforded the opportunity to vote against everything without having to propose very much. I feel that I better serve the constituents of Oak Bay-Gordon Head and the citizens of B.C. by supporting the overall budget, thereby showing confidence in the newly elected government, while continuing to raise

Education a right that deserves funding
As we watch our children head off for the start of another school year, we should pause and consider the state of education in the rest of the world. While Canadians enjoy one of the best education systems that exist, globally 57 million children of primary school age still remain out of school; that’s almost twice the population of Canada denied a future. The Global Partnership for Education is the only multilateral partnership that exists to help bring down that appalling number. Over the last decade, it has put an additional 23 million children in school, trained 413,000 teachers and constructed more than 37,000 classrooms for boys and girls. Canada helps fund this program and these numbers are an

example of Canadian tax dollars making a big difference. But the numbers are still sobering: globally, 66 million girls are not offered any schooling at all. When girls get an education, they are six times less likely to be married off as children, and have 2.2 fewer children. For every extra additional year a girl stays in school, her income can increase by 15 to 25 per cent. The Global Partnership for Education is slated for funding renewal and it’s imperative our federal government increases its contribution. During the past funding round, the Global Partnership achieved barely half of its needs, resulting in another lost generation. Compared to the economic return, the cost of educating children is small, and girls especially need our help to bring much needed changes Mieux vous informer sur l’immigration francophone

Vulnerable women remain targets Re: PEERS loses drop-in centre, social program (News, Sept.4) I have long held that our attitude towards prostitutes reflects our attitude towards women in general. This further cut in service by PEERS shows we have learned nothing from the Pickton affair – women remain potential targets, carefully watched lest they show signs of provocation. So glad I was born male – and they do the pregnancy thing too. Andy Mulcahy Victoria

said council is wasting its time and pursuing the agenda of a minority of people. “We’re right in the middle of a referendum for the decriminalization of marijuana going on right now, and they’re talking about going after paraphernalia stores,” he said. “They’re down to using children as a scapegoat. Anyone who’s worried about this store being three kilometres away from their kid, I think that’s more of a parenting issue than anything.” Staff is also recommending councillors consider banning door-to-
door sales, requiring new gas stations to install electric vehicle charging stations and providing cheaper seasonal business licences within the township. “It’s really important we do this in a timely manner. We do not want to do this in a way that’s delaying business licences next year,” Desjardins said.

Tour supporters now Tour riders Sidney North Saanich RCMP reserve constables ready to fight childhood cancer Devon MacKenzie News staff
As with many Tour de Rock riders, the motivation for Terry Curry to get involved stems from personal experiences with cancer, including a battle of his own. Curry is the oldest rider on the tour at 66 and not only battled prostate cancer himself, after being diagnosed in 2005, but he also lost a brother to childhood cancer when he was young. “In 1965 I lost my 15-year-old brother to leukemia,” Curry said. “He was diagnosed in September and by June he passed away. There was no real treatment then, nothing like compared to now.” Curry said the memories of his brother and the thought of offering hope to children battling the same disease spurred him on to apply to participate in the Tour. “I had always wanted to ride in the Tour de Rock but events in my life just never lined up,” he said. Curry spent 29 years with the RCMP and retired in 2007, after which he began working as a reserve constable at the airport with the Sidney North Saanich RCMP. When those positions were cut this past spring, Curry began working with the RCMP’s South Island Integrated Marine Unit. He’s thankful the stars finally aligned for him to be

able to participate in the Tour. “I am working a few days a week doing that right now which has given me the flexibility to train for the Tour. I was lucky enough to be able to take off time in September and October for fundraising and the ride itself,” he said. Curry’s teammate from the Saanich Peninsula, also a reserve constable with the Sidney North Saanich RCMP, is Alan Neville-Rutherford. The two met through work connections, with Curry working as the RCMP reserve constable for the airport and Neville-Rutherford working for G4S, which handles airport security. Personal connections with cancer are also what spurred Neville-Rutherford to get involved.
NEW 2 LEVEL
“The main motivation for me to ride this year was that I had a cousin who passed away from lymphoma a year after being diagnosed,” Neville-Rutherford said. “We were very close. He had three teenage kids and was the same age as me so it was a real eye-opener.” Neville-Rutherford has been a member of the Sidney North Saanich RCMP auxiliary since 2006 and an avid supporter of the Tour de Rock for many years. “You could usually find me at the Thursday (Sidney) Night Market selling Tour de Rock T-shirts at the RCMP booth and people always asked me if I was the Tour de Rock rider,” he said. “I’m happy to be able to say that I am now, and I’m hoping to do every-
thing I can to raise as much as possible for the pediatric cancer.” The two teammates are training three days a week with the 19 other riders, and credit their trainers in getting them in top shape for the Tour, which begins Sept. 21. “Neither of us ever thought we’d be able to ride the speeds and distances we do. It’s really amazing how much the trainers have helped us and guided us,” Neville-Rutherford said. “Every day we ride it’s a new challenge but a doable one, when you think about what those kids go through. At the end of the day, it really comes down to that — supporting each other as a team so we can raise as much as possible for the kids.” reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

T
he Arab-Israeli conflict seems intractable at the best of times and may appear more hopeless than ever after watching The Attack, a heart-wrenching drama about love and loss that has a suicide bombing at its core. The central character is Amin Jaafari, a distinguished Arab surgeon who lives in Tel Aviv and is a paragon of humanism in a world where intolerant fundamentalism is the norm. Ten minutes into the film there is a terrorist bombing in a restaurant that kills 16 people and brings many more injured to the hospital where Amin works. That act of political terror suddenly turns personal when evidence indicates it was Amin’s kindly and loving wife, Siham, who blew herself up that day. At first in denial, the emotionally devastated Amin eventually heads to Nablus in the Occupied Territories to connect with family and try to discover how and by whom Siham was radicalized. What he discovers causes him to reexamine his life, his marriage, and everything he thought he knew about his life in the Middle East. Attack is one of those quietly devastating films that starts slowly, drawing you deeper and deeper into a world where extremist ideologies have a compelling emotional power that simplifies arguments to an us-versus-them paradigm. We go on a fraught journey as Amin replays scenes in his mind, trying to understand how his soulmate could have chosen this secret and deadly path without him ever knowing. By the film’s end, a once happy and fulfilled Amin finds himself not only emotionally gutted but also alienated from the fierce beliefs of both Palestinians and Israelis.

Victoria’s Sears Home Store
Long-time Sears Home professional thrives as new senior sales manager
With a natural enthusiasm for sales, customer service and helping his co-workers thrive, Martin Gagnon has found the perfect niche as Senior Sales Manager at Victoria’s Sears Home Martin Store. Gagnon Originally from Valleyfield, welcomes Quebec, southwest of you to Sears Montreal, Gagnon left Home Store home at 17, travelling the in Victoria world with the Canadian Navy for five years. His travels landed him in Victoria, where upon meeting his partner he decided the time was right to settle down and embrace the next phase of his career. A naturally vibrant, outgoing person, retail sales was the perfect fit for Gagnon, who learned and trained with several national companies before joining the Sears family 12 years ago. Here he embraced the opportunity to bring his creative approach first to the furniture department, then major appliances, achieving the million-dollar sales mark in both departments. Why retail? “I like at the end of the day what I have accomplished,” says Gagnon, who when not at work might be founding hiking with his Cairn terrier, Coco, cooking or travelling with his partner. “I’m successful if I’ve found out what the customer needs and at the end of the sale, they say, ‘That was the best sales experience I’ve had.’” Being able to draw on his enthusiasm and creativity has been key to his success and his joy in coming to work each day. “If you see five sales people, you will remember the one who is a little different,” Gagnon explains. Rather than seeing only the straight line between a problem and a solution, for example, “I like to try a different approach with situations I come across.” Paired with his approach is his dedication to continually keeping up-to-date on new products, trends and Sears initiatives. When the opportunity arose last year to move into a management role, the next step was a right one. “I want to be able to share that knowledge and my experience with others,” explains Gagnon, a long-time trainer who is also on the lookout for his next great sales person to join the Sears team. He’s also excited about the new focus Sears has adopted, and he encourages people to come see all that is new at Sears Home. “We’re embracing style, design and quality – this is going to be the new Sears.” What makes Gagnon so successful at all he does? “He is so passionate,” Sears Home store manager Margaret Ramsay says of Gagnon. “He is passionate about the products and he’s passionate about customer service, with a very fun, positive approach.”

ugust and early September have been like a gift to Paul Rodgers. The front man for Bad Company, which begins the home stretch of its busy 40th anniversary tour with shows tomorrow (Sept. 14) in Penticton and Sunday at Esquimalt’s Bullen Field, is enjoying the perks of living in the Okanagan. “I’ve suddenly decided September is my favourite month,” he said this week, commenting on the stunning late summer weather. Having grown up in England and toured the world musically countless times, he has settled in B.C. with his wife, Cynthia, who hails from the Okanagan. Rodgers, now 63, became a Canadian citizen in 2011. “I love B.C., it’s absolutely beautiful,” he said. “I’m still discovering lakes and places to go. It’s also very English in many respects. There’s a strong connection between the two countries. It’s like England with a lot more space.” The band, also including original members Mick Ralphs on guitar and drummer Simon Kirke, kicked off the anniversary tour in mid-June with a performance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. For a group of guys in their 60s, their pace is nothing short of astounding: 16 shows in July, a few in August to allow band members to enjoy a summer break, then seven more dates in September, winding up with a show at the Los Angeles County Fair. While this year’s focus is on celebrating 40 years of making music together, touring as Bad Company has been an almost annual event in recent years.

That means they’ve stayed musically tight, Rodgers said. “It’s been awesome. On a musical level, it’s been incredible. When we hit the stage, it’s kind of like unleashing hell.” Many of the concerts on this year’s tour have sold out. A number of them featured opening act Lynyrd Skynyrd, another hugely popular band from the 1970s. Such Bad Company hits as “Rock and Roll Fantasy,” “Feel Like Making Love” and “Shooting Star” still resonate with audience members,” Rodgers said. That speaks to why many classic rock bands from past eras have begun touring again and are doing well at the gate, he added. “I think they were very good,” he said. “But we did really pay our dues. You had to go out and play, play, play all the time. But it is possible now to have your 15 minutes of fame without having played a lot of shows. Our music is real and it comes from a point of passion.” Most of the shows Bad Company puts on these days are in smaller venues, where concert goers can be closer to the band. Regardless of the performance space, Rodgers said it’s important that they put out “110 per cent” for the audience. “You want to be sure it’s great music and that people have a good time. I want them to be knocked out, actually.” Bad Company, with opening act Chilliwack, play Sept. 15 at Bullen Field. Concert time is 6 to 9 p.m. Tickets are $83.50 or $121 for VIP admission, available online at hightideconcerts.net, rmts.bc.ca; by phone at 1-888-222-6608 or at Ditch Records and Lyle’s Place.

Golf tournament funds support services for women, families Victoria Golf Club presents funds to Transition House Danielle Pope News staff
Domestic violence is often hidden, but it’s when people don’t have a choice about where to go that they feel trapped – and that’s when their children become trapped, says Catherine Langpap. “Children learn at the hands of
their parents, and that’s where this begins,” says Langpap, cochair of the Victoria Golf Club charity events committee. “If we can give women and men options we are creating a safer environment for our entire community.” That’s the reason Langpap coorganized this year’s Victoria Golf Club Links to Change Charity Golf Invitational tournaments, held over a weekend in July. It’s the 12th year the club has raised money for the Victoria Women’s Transition House and
the first year for Pacific Centre Family Services Association. With more than 450 golfers participating, the club raised about $138,500, bringing the total contribution to the Transition House to $813,000 in the past decade. “This money allows us to provide those support services, like answering over 2,000 crisis calls each year, providing shelter to 160 women and 60 children annually and doing prevention work in schools,” says Tracy Lubick, development director for the
Transition House. The Links to Change tournament is the single largest fundraiser for the Women’s Transition House, which provides shelter, support, counselling and education to women and children so they can live free from the effects of abuse. Meanwhile, Pacific Centre Family Services addresses the other side of the equation. “Our goal is to hold men accountable, and create safer families in our communities,”
says executive director Mitzi Dean. “While there are services available for men who have been convicted or charged with violent crimes, so many of the men we work with come to us with unreported violence – and we know the majority of cases of family violence do go unreported.” The centre’s portion of the proceeds from the golf tournaments was $45,000.

Vikes host James Bay for Friday night rugby The goal posts have been installed at Centeinnal Stadium as the UVic Vikes men’s rugby team hosts crosstown rivals James Bay Athletic Association in Vancouver Island Barnard Cup competition tonight (Sept. 13). Kickoff is 7 p.m. The Vikes have a promising squad to challenge for the Barnard Cup and provincial Rounsefell Cup title this year. But the Vikes will face the same challenges as previous years with players such as Nathan Hirayama, Phil Mack and Sean Duke committed to the national program for IRB International sevens, the IRB November test window for 15s, and the Langford-based Americas Rugby Championship in October. This weekend the Vikes will be without Hirayama, Luke McCLoskey, Shea Wakefield and Dustin Dobravsky, who all travel with the B.C. Bears to Ontario for a Canadian Rugby Championship match versus the Blues. The Vikes women’s rugby team visits Cowichan on Saturday, the first match of the Island’s senior women’s fall schedule. The Velox Valhallians men’s team hosts Castaway Wanderers at 2:45 p.m on Saturday while the Velox Valkyries women visit Nanaimo.
Sevens rugby success at UVic Vikes rugby players were scattered among three different squads of the Victoria International 7s finals on Saturday (Sept. 7). The soggy pitch of UVic’s Wallace Field held up enough to host some dazzling tries. Vikes Pat Kay scored two tries and Nathan Yanagiya scored once to propel the younger, fitter Canada Blue squad to a 38-0 Cup win and $5,000 prize over the older Serevi Selects. The University Selects, an unofficial Vikes team, won the Plate final 34-7 over Canada Black. Selects Jamie Mackenzie and Liam Murray each scored two tries in the Plate final. sports@vicnews.com

back with a 4-0 win over the Trinity Western Spartans on Sunday. Cam Hundal’s triple goal weekend earned him second star among Canada West athletes. Vikes women’s captain Jackie Harrison won the same award for scoring two goals in a 4-1 over the UNBC Timberwolves on Saturday. sports@vicnews.com

Saanich police Sgt. Steve Eassie shows off a guided missile system launcher that was found discarded at the Hartland landfill Sept. 4. Police say the one-time use weapon was just a “wartime souvenir” and was not operational. Kyle Slavin/News staff

What not to recycle Missile launcher found at landfill
Kyle Slavin News staff
The Capital Regional District has an online tool that
provides information on how to recycle unconventional items – but myrecyclopedia. ca has its limitations. If you want to dispose of
Choose to recycle your milk containers.
And choose a better future for all of us.
More people than ever are doing what’s right for the environment. That’s why over 666,000 kg of milk containers were recycled at Return-It™ Depots in 2012. And it’s easy to make the right choice a part of your routine; just bring them in along with your bottles and cans.
For more information and to find a Return-It™ Depot near you, call 1-800-330-9767 or visit return-it.ca/milk Zero deposit paid = zero deposit refunded.
a rocket launcher, for example, your search comes up empty. So Saanich police are telling the public that throwing a rocket launcher in a recycling bin at the landfill is not the way to get rid of military weaponry, after somebody did just that last week. On Sept. 4, Hartland staff discovered the weapon in a bin at the dump. “Their concern was that it may be usable,” said Saanich police Sgt. Steve Eassie. “At this point it is inert. It is no longer housing what was once a rocket inside the missile launcher.” Police surmise that the “Guided Missile System, Intercept,” which is roughly four feet long and weighs less than 10 pounds, would likely have been a land-based weapon used by the U.S. military in the 1960s or ’70s to take down an aircraft. It was designed to be fired only once, according to police. “It would’ve been used and disposed of. It was likely retrieved (after being fired) and kept by someone as a souvenir,” Eassie said. It appears the weapon was modified to be hung on display, but was no longer wanted and discarded at the landfill. “They could’ve disposed of it in a more appropriate manner,” Eassie said. Anyone looking to discard such equipment, including other weapons that may have been rendered inoperable, is asked to call police to ask that they be accepted for destruction. It’s not illegal, however, to possess what Eassie simply called “wartime memorabilia.” Eassie is not sure whether police will destroy the rocket launcher, or if it will be turned over to the Department of National Defence to destroy, but he says it won’t end up in a recycling bin. kslavin@saanich news.com

Hyundai: 30 years of Canadian innovation

PRESS GREATER VICTORIA

Hyundai Auto Canada Corp is marking 30 years in the Canadian market with a continued commitment to providing consumers with modern, premium vehicles for every lifestyle and budget. From fuel-saving technologies, hybrids and Fluidic Sculpture design, to groundbreaking concept cars with features controlled by eye movements and mid-air hand gestures, Hyundai’s dedication to new ways of thinking continues to stand-out in the competitive Canadian automotive industry. As part of the 30th Anniversary celebrations, the company launched a dedicated website that highlights significant milestones in the company’s Canadian history. The site also asks for Canadians to submit their most memorable moments with a Hyundai vehicle for a chance to win a host of prizes, including a 2013 Veloster with Tech Package and EcoShift DCT. Over three decades in the country, company executives have reacted quickly as values of the Canadian consumer grew and changed. Hyundai adjusted to cater to those needs by including highly sought premium features on all vehicles and the 2010 launch of Fluidic Sculpture design. With 210 dealerships nationwide, Hyundai Auto Canada has expanded to a product range that now spans nine nameplates in nearly every segment, from sport utility vehicles to compacts to luxury sedans. Billions of dollars of investment into R&D produces vehicles that break all the rules and establishes Hyundai as a leader in the industry. In 2009, Hyundai’s Genesis won North American Car of the Year and Canadian Car of the Year. In 2012, the Elantra took home the same titles. This year, the Santa Fe Sport walked away with the 2013 Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year. With three Hyundai models – the Elantra, Accent and Santa Fe Sport – in Canada’s Top Ten Best-Selling Passenger Cars and Light Trucks for 2013, Canadian consumers have taken note. Hyundai Auto Canada is also investing in the future of Canadian youth through its Hyundai Hockey Helpers program. Launched in 2012, the community-based grassroots program provides grants for equipment and registration fees to help under-resourced Canadian children and youth get in the game. More than 1,800 kids have received a grant to date, and the program’s second year will give even more kids the opportunity to play Canada’s national sport.
BLACK PRESS GREATER VICTORIA- Friday, September 13, 2013 InMotion • B7 The Chrysler minivan has been in continuous production since the first model (shown) debuted in 1983. To mark the event, Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country will feature special 30th Anniversary Editions.
Chrysler Canada celebrates 30 years of minivan leadership Metroland Media WheelsTalk.com
It’s one thing to create an entirely new segment. To be an innovation leader in that segment for 30 years running is quite another accomplishment. Having sold more than 13 million minivans since first introducing the segment in 1983, and creating 78 minivan segment firsts, such as classexclusive Stow ‘n Go seating and a segment-first Blu-ray rear-seat entertainment system, the Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country are celebrating their heritage with 30th Anniversary Editions available this fall. The first Chrysler Group minivan rolled off the Windsor Assembly line on Nov. 2, 1983, sparking a new segment of people movers that rose in popularity very quickly,
transporting millions of moms, dads and kids, and becoming part of their families. Even after 30 years, the Chrysler Group continues to lead the segment, receiving the title of Most Awarded Minivan Ever. The Dodge Grand Caravan was the top selling minivan in the world last year and continues to be the best selling minivan in Canada for over 29 years. The Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country are built at the Windsor Assembly Plant in Ontario. The Dodge Grand Caravan is the No. 1 selling minivan in Canada and the 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan 30th Anniversary Edition will continue to set the mark in minivan value. Available on the SXT model, the Dodge Grand Caravan continues to be the best all-around vehicle for young families with more valueadded features.

After eight days on the Trans-Canada highway, the 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel and the husband-wife team of Garry Sowerby and Lisa Calvi arrived in Halifax on Friday, Aug. 30 with an average fuel consumption reading of just 4.3 L/100km. The driver information centre “trip A” last reset in Vancouver displayed the following information upon arrival in Halifax: Overall Trip: 5,955.8 km Overall Average fuel consumption: 4.3 L/100km Overall Average speed: 80.3 km/h “We had a great trip across the country, showing Canadians and ourselves that to do a massive road trip can be fun, frugal and fuel efficient,” said Calvi. “In fact, we drove over 1,400 kms on our best tank of fuel. Overall, the Cruze consumed 250.9 litres of diesel fuel for the entire trip, costing just over $300.” “We set a record by driving the speed limit, or just slightly
below, with the right product,” said Sowerby. “We used the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid car on the market.” The 2014 Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel was chosen for this adventure for its industry best 4.2 L/100km highway fuel consumption – better than any non-hybrid passenger car in Canada. The Cruze also offers a segment-leading 151 hp and 264 lb/ft of torque providing spirited performance and the durability diesel owners value around the globe. The fuel tank on the Cruze Diesel holds 59 litres of diesel fuel. With a starting price of just $24,945, plus $1,550 destination charge, the Chevrolet Cruze Diesel is a better value than a similarly equipped VW Jetta TDI automatic. Compared with Jetta, the Cruze Diesel offers standard equipment including the Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system, larger 17-inch alloy wheels, leather-appointed seating, and a longer five-year 160,000-km powertrain limited warranty.
