Making the unaffordable

AFFORDABLE

Habitat for Humanity helps write inspiring success stories by making good use of a hand-up housing philosophy. The not-for-profit organization grants families in need with no-interest mortgages made through ‘sweat equity.’

Don Descoteau News Staff

Battling a landlord about mould in a bedroom of their rented apartment was not Sarah Howard and Kenny Bragg's idea of fun. The young Victoria couple were already struggling to make ends meet, trying desperately to get ahead in life and provide a decent living environment for their young daughter, Kailyn. It was a time in which they bounced from one apartment to another. Recalling those days from a few years back as they sit at their kitchen table in the Bethune Avenue "flexplex" built by Habitat for Humanity Victoria, they shake their heads at where they were. "It was paycheque to paycheque," Howard recalls. Their last apartment was in what they felt was a dangerous neighbourhood, where drug activity and other disruptions were common. Oct. 1 will mark one year that the family has been in their own place. They're paying a mortgage to Habitat, making minor alterations to their living space and even learning what it's like to have a renter. "My first landlord call came at 12:30 a.m. and it was to go down and kill a spider," Bragg says, laughing. The basement suite income was needed to cover the mortgage, Howard says, but has allowed them some breathing room. It's part of Habitat's strategy of giving people a hand up. "What they want you to do is get yourself in a better financial position," Howard says.

Kenny Bragg and Sarah Howard, with their daughter Kailyn, are nearing the one-year anniversary of moving into this Habitat for Humanity-built townhome complex in Saanich. Working with the organization to purchase their own home has changed their lives, they say. "We couldn't save anything before. Now we're contributing to an RESP for Kailyn and we have extra room to be able to save." Habitat for Humanity Victoria has built 18 homes since 2000, most recently the Bethune fiveplex in 2010. The concept is simple: future homeowners perform at least 500 hours of "sweat equity" in exchange for a no-interest mortgage on a brand-

Smoking ban lacks teeth, but that’s not the point Island Health hasn’t ticketed one person in 3 years who snubbed smoking bylaw Daniel Palmer News staff

A clean air bylaw that would ban smoking in city parks and playgrounds and push smokers further away from storefronts is almost impossible to enforce, says the region’s top tobacco control officer. In the past three years, there

have been zero tickets handed out to smokers who light up too close to doorways, windows and air intakes, said Kim Bruce, regional manager of tobacco prevention and control at Island Health (formerly Vancouver Island Health Authority). “We don’t have the ability to require people to produce identification, so it’s hard to write a ticket if you don’t know who the person is,” Bruce said. The Capital Regional District pays Island Health to enforce current smoking bylaws, which last year involved about 2,000 building inspections mostly for mandatory signage. Only 86 warnings were issued

for non-compliance during that time, Bruce said. Provincial legislation requires all businesses to ban smoking within three metres of their premises, but a proposed CRD bylaw – revised since it was defeated last June – would increase that threshold to seven metres. Advocates of the expanded smoking ban argue enforcement isn’t the point. Nancy Falconer, health promotion co-ordinator at the B.C. Cancer Society, said policy has been shown to directly impact behaviour. “It’s the same principle as drinking in parks – for the most part, if people are aware the bylaw exists,

to enforce, by the fact they’re in place, they can make a significant difference in terms of health,” Desjardins said. About 11 per cent of Capital Region residents smoke, compared to 15 per cent of British Columbians, Bruce said. “I do think the public support is high in this area. If somebody does light up, it’s often not tolerated. Individuals around them or the restaurant employees would stop it,” she said. The CRD board will likely consider the clean air bylaw at its next meeting Oct. 9. If passed, the bylaw will then move forward for public input. dpalmer@vicnews.com

they’ll abide by it,” Falconer said. “There is no safe exposure to second-hand smoke … exposure outdoors is a health hazard, particularly for those with chronic illnesses and children.” Children and youth who are regularly exposed to smokers are also more likely to find the practice appealing, according to Island Health information presented to the CRD. The argument is a compelling one for Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins, who chairs the committee responsible for approving the bylaw before the CRD board votes on it. “There’s evidence that even though these things are difficult

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF

More human remains unearthed at Pioneer Square Ongoing work at Pioneer Square Park has unearthed human remains in four areas of the park, and City of Victoria officials have confirmed the resulting archaeological work will delay park upgrades. "Human remains have been removed and are now under care under the care of the on-site archeologist," said Katie Hamilton, the city's communications director. "They will be re-buried on-site under the direction of the archeologist." The extent of the delay to the $700,000 park overhaul hasn't yet been determined by staff, she added.

CUPE, province hammer out tentative deal Public school support workers and the provincial government reached a tentative deal last week. Workers will receive a 3.5 per cent increase, if ratified by union members later this year. The province has told school districts that they need to find the money for support staff wage increases in their existing budgets. Support staff in the Greater Victoria School District are represented by both CUPE 382 and CUPE 947, which represents some 900 inside workers. Don Denton/News staff

Dalton Hotel to be converted to rental suites Daniel Palmer News staff

Guests at B.C.’s oldest continuously operating hotel have been told to leave by Monday as the building is renovated and turned into mostly-bachelor suites over the next 18 months. Work on the Dalton Hotel at 759 Yates St. will begin this fall on 81 bachelor and 12 one-bedroom units after a group of investors purchased the building, said Jordan Milne, president of GMC Projects. “We’re in the process of determining the extent of

what we want to do,” Milne said. A permit will likely be required to replace the existing storefront entrance to the lobby and to expose original brick columns on the main floor, Milne said. Retail tenants, including a liquor store and two restaurants, on the main floor of the building are expected to stay open during renovations. A hotel has been located on the site since 1862, while the current three-storey masonry structure was constructed in 1890. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Get ready to shake it out, Victoria Thousands of Greater Victorians are expected to take part in the Great British Columbia ShakeOut next month. The annual earthquake drill at 10:17 a.m. on Oct. 17 will involve students, public workers, businesses and individuals to “stop, drop and hold on” for two minutes in anticipation of the big one. More than 590,000 British Columbians participated in last year’s ShakeOut, which is aligned with a similar program in California.

Base charity drive kicks off in Esquimalt One of the largest workplace charitable campaigns in the Capital Region got underway Thursday at CFB Esquimalt. Capt. (Navy) Luc Cassivi, base commander, announced that the Defence Team’s goal for the annual three-month Government of Canada Workplace Charity Campaign is $700,000. Last year’s efforts brought in $660,000 for the United Way, which distributed donated funds to service providers around the region. The kickoff was held in conjunction with a CFB Esquimalt industrial trade show at the Naden drill shed. The United Way announced a campaign goal of $6 million.

Victoria Hospice

Swim for a good cause BY MARILYN McCRIMMON

October 12

Hospice & Palliative Care Day others,” he says. “My focus is to have fun and have people working together for an important cause.” Caelin also initiated a Jeans Day at Victoria Hospice in the weeks preceding Swimathon. “Staff wear jeans to work, wearing buttons that say ‘I’m wearing jeans today in support of Victoria Hospice Swimathon,’ in order to get the word out and encourage pledges. Staff have to buy the button each day for a toonie, and return it at the end of the day.” As a result, a friendly rivalry occurs between the nurses, doctors, counsellors, administrative support staff, and volunteers as they vie for the trophy given to the group that raises the most money for Jeans Day. Caelin turns in the funds raised under the name “Jean Day” – “she” has proven to be quite a fundraiser. Typical participants at the swimathon are already swimmers. “Here is a way to do what you already do and raise money for a service that helps people. Lots of kids participate. They love to swim and will

go to friends and neighbours to collect pledges. It is a great learning opportunity for children as it teaches them to be more community minded.” Caelin recalled one hospice volunteer in her 90s who brought her daughter, granddaughter and great-granddaughter to the pool. “She was still swimming every day and the Caelin Rose whole family was behind it, all supporting Victoria Hospice.” And, if you don’t swim, but would like to participate, Caelin has a suggestion for you. “You could do a virtual swim. Or pledge not to put on a bathing suit and collect money.” A sense of humour will help in this case. Community support is vital to Victoria Hospice. Will you be a swimmer, a virtual swimmer or will you pledge support to a swimmer? Whatever you do, your support will be very gratefully received by Victoria Hospice.

Next month, swimmers will take to ten local community pools to count their laps for the 28th annual Victoria Hospice Swimathon. Previously held in May, this year the popular annual event will run the week of October 5th to 12th, the final day coinciding with World Hospice and Palliative Care Day. The Victoria Hospice Swimathon, a well-loved Victoria tradition for almost 30 years, is launching a new online fundraising system this year, allowing swimmers to create their own fundraising page. Swimmers can upload photos and set their goals, before emailing friends and colleagues to ask for their support. The self-directed format allows swimmers to swim laps in their neighbourhood pool at their convenience, free of charge, during the designated week. Pledges will be totalled up on October 12th, the final day. As an extra incentive, swimmers raising over $200 will receive a limited edition Swimathon towel. The individualized nature of the Swimathon does not preclude challenges to fellow participants. Just ask Hospice counsellor and regular swimathon participant Caelin Rose, who admits to being a bit of a cheerleader. “I love swimming and I love to encourage

World Hospice and Palliative Care Day on October 12, 2013 is a day of unified action in worldwide celebration and support of hospice and palliative care. Access to palliative care is a human right. No healthcare system in a country is complete without including palliative care as an available service. However palliative care is mostly limited to countries in Western Europe, North America, and Australia. In fact, 42% of nations, with a sobering 80% of people globally have little to no access to treatment for moderate to severe pain. Efforts are underway to expand palliative care to low and middle income countries so that every country can have palliative care. To mark this day of action, Victoria Hospice will be celebrating the final day of the 28th Annual Swimathon which has raised over $2M for end-of-life care.

Kulture Frozen Yogurt is also offering a delicious way to make a difference. On October 12th from 11am – 4pm, 50% of all proceeds will be donated to Victoria Hospice. Be sure to stop by at 3749 Shelbourne St. For more information about events, studies, and other facts about World Hospice Day, see: www.worldday.org

Buildings in ‘desperate need’ of upgrades

Water mains get flushing

City to release asset inventory on Monday

IN BRIEF

The annual flushing of Victoria’s water mains is taking place Oct. 1 to Nov. 29 to remove sediment and create better quality drinking water. Residents who notice brown tap water should let their taps run until the water clears. This year, flushing is being done in Beacon Hill, Fairfield, Ross Bay and Gonzales neighbourhoods.

Vintage fair set for weekend From antique jewelry and steam punk to art deco items and retro clothing, the Victoria Vintage Expo brings it all to the Crystal Garden this weekend. The event includes workshops and more than 70 vendor booths of various kinds. The show goes from 5 to 9 p.m. Friday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.

Hospice gets 2 big donations Victoria Hospice is celebrating two big donations received this month from local supporters. The third annual Cycle of Life Tour raised more than $23,000. And the second annual Russ Hay’s Ambriss Clermont Memorial Ride for Hospice, which took place Sept. 8, raised more than $11,400.

It’s no surprise Victoria’s only public pool needs an expensive retrofit, but a report to be released Monday will show for the first time the number of city owned buildings in desperate need of upgrade. The City of Victoria’s asset management strategy is being completed and made public in the run-up to public consultation about what to do with Crystal Pool, a 42-year-old facility at the corner of Quadra and Queens streets. “It took a little pushing because the promise of that report has been around for awhile,” said Derry

McDonell, spokesman for Open Victoria, a citizen group advocating for greater transparency at city hall. Fire Hall No. 1 is one public building known to be in need of seismic upgrading. A 2011 consultant’s report estimated Victoria needs to spend between $5 million for a basic retrofit to $16 million for a complete rebuild on the half-century-old facility. But the public hasn’t seen a comprehensive inventory of what buildings need the most money, something McDonell and his colleagues hope to see next week as a discussion around Crystal Pool begins. “A simple condition report is one thing, but we really need to see a prioritized list,” he said. “It would be an awful thing to have Victoria as the only municipality to have no public recreation facility or swimming pool. That said, building another single-purpose facility like Crystal isn’t in the cards. Some creative thinking needs

Bus system should reflect the needs of its users, says B.C. Transit

B.C. Transit wants more public feedback

CASH 730 Hillside Ave. 250-382-8291 www.sgpower.com jay@sgpower.com

Transit users are once again being asked to offer feedback on future plans for B.C. Transit in the Capital Region. Beginning Oct. 1, the Transit Future Bus will visit eight locations in Greater Victoria to present plans for service changes over the next few years. “Our transit system should reflect the needs of existing customers but should also help direct changes that will encourage more Greater Victorians to enjoy the financial, health and environmental benefits of public transportation,” said Susan Brice, chair of the Victoria Regional Transit Commission. “We would like to present the proposed improvements to the public and our riders, to confirm we have the priorities right.” The first stop will be Oct. 1 at Fort and Douglas streets from noon to 4 p.m. Online surveys and a full list of stops are available at bctransit.com. dpalmer@vicnews.com

to be done on it,” he said. A consultant’s report from June revealed Crystal Pool has approximately 4,750 regular users, and 250,000 annual visits. The facility operates at a loss of $1.2 million per year, which includes $160,000 in energy costs. It is also the highest greenhouse gasproducing facility in the city. While a direct comparison is difficult, the Victoria YMCA/YWCA, a multi-purpose facility, has about 7,600

members, while 510,000 members went through its gates in 2012, said Mark Dodd, general manager. “Some members may go through more than once in a day, but taking those out we are currently, for September 2013, averaging about 1,400 (members) per day,” he said. A schedule for public consultation on Crystal Pool is expected to be announced sometime this fall. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Esquimalt mulls English Inn’s future Don Descoteau News staff

COBBLER

718 VIEW STREET • VICTORIA • 250-386-3741

A proposal to rezone the twohectare property containing the English Inn and several dormant buildings will be heard at a public hearing next month in Esquimalt. The proposal seeks to have the Lampson Street hotel building designated as heritage, create a buffer zone around it to protect the gardens and trees, and allow for significant residential development on the remaining 1.3 hectares. Esquimalt council heard another presentation Monday from ownership group LFC Lampson Holdings Inc., but needed little discussion before voting to move the proposal forward.

The plan requires changes to zoning to separate the land parcels and allow for different uses, as well as alteration of the official community plan. LFC Lampson Holdings Inc. includes former creditors of the previous owners and is looking to create some certainty for potential buyers. On Monday night, council heard that the property has lost LFC $1.5 million over the past three years. “They’re trying to rationalize the use of the land for the future that makes economic sense,” LFC spokesperson Mike Dillistone said in an interview. The requested changes would create “precedent setting guidelines” in terms of the grounds, he added. Mayor Barb Desjardins said

the lack of council debate seems to indicate general support for the idea. The public hearing may happen as early as Oct. 21. n In other council news, Esquimalt council approved reducing the speed limit to 30 km/h along the entire length of Rockheights Avenue, from Lampson Street to Old Esquimalt Road. The move was made in response to concerns from Rockheights residents about safety and increased traffic on their street. Signage is on order and is expected to be installed sometime in the next several weeks. Victoria police also committed to keep more of an eye on driver speeds on Rockheights. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

Families pay off mortgages early Continued from Page A1

Executive director Yolanda Meijer says Habitat Victoria’s experience is that many families pay off the no-interest loans more quickly than they ever imagined. And, as with Howard and Bragg, their life circumstances often change dramatically. “It’s because they’ve gone on to do the very thing we've hoped they would, which is to be more successful,” Meijer says. People who don’t understand how Habitat works have insinuated that the couple received an unfair advantage, Bragg says. He tells them about the sweat equity. “The truth is, we sacrificed a year’s worth of weekends for our family so we could be in this situation.” With Kailyn, 4, a year away from going to kindergarten up the road at Cloverdale Traditional School, Howard, 23 in November, is building a home-based business. Next year she hopes to be employed outside the home as well. Bragg, 27, is a

first cook at The Guild Restaurant on Wharf Street. He talks enthusiastically about how he has finally landed at an establishment where he envisions a future, one where he will soon receive benefits. The couple, in perhaps the best financial position they’ve ever been, is excited about building equity rather than lining someones

else’s pockets. “From where we were a year ago, it’s mind-blowing,” Bragg says. Next up for Habitat for Humanity is a fourunit townhome project at 4000 Cedar Hill X Rd., for which Meijer hopes shovels will hit the ground this fall. For more about the program, visit habitatvictoria.com or call 250-480-7688. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

Did you know? n Since 2000, Habitat for Humanity Victoria has built 18 homes in the region: nine in Saanich, six in Sidney, two in Central Saanich and one in Victoria. The mix includes seven singlefamily dwellings, three duplexes and one fiveplex. Three owners have already retired their mortgages.

OUR VIEW

Smoking ban extension moot Guess how many individuals or businesses have been fined in recent years for violating rules around smoking less than three metres from an enclosed space in Greater Victoria? Exactly zero. On the surface that tells us the Capital Regional District has done a good job at changing people’s behaviour around smoking in public places. The CRD has clearly taken an educational approach to the issue rather than one that is punitive. Some might argue that aggressive enforcement, with frequent fines for violators, is the best way to change behaviour on this issue. But the numbers would indicate the CRD’s experience of using a kinder, gentler approach has proven effective. Besides the absence of fines against smokers or establishments – bylaw enforcement officers at the Vancouver Island Health Authority, actually have very limited authority to ticket individuals – the smoking rate in Greater Victoria has been reduced to 11 per cent, compared to 15 per cent provincially. That said, extending the three-metre ban to seven metres, as the CRD is considering, seems an overreach. The accompanying proposal to create no-smoking zones in parks and playgrounds makes sense, but a seven-metre rule would be like pouring salt in a wound already destined to be lethal. We shouldn’t be surprised at this gradual expansion of the space in which people can be free from breathing secondhand smoke. Health authorities and other regulatory bodies have made it their goal to squeeze smokers into as small an area as possible and reduce their numbers to limit their impact on public health. The new distance rule, if passed by the CRD board, will further isolate smokers, to the point where only roadways and parking lots in downtown Victoria, for example, will be “legal” areas to light up. Unless the CRD is prepared to ban smoking outright – an unlikely notion now, but one many would support – it should look to other ways of educating the public about the hazards of lighting up rather than creating unenforceable rules that further pad the bureaucracy.

LETTERS

Rookie school trustee being shut out by board vets Re: Victoria school trustee publicly scolded (vicnews.com) The article about Greater Victoria School District first-time trustee Deborah Nohr being censured by fellow trustees is very aptly titled. The word “scolded” conjures up images of adults reading the riot act to a child who isn’t obedient to them. But Nohr is not a child. She

is a very well-educated woman with a teaching career that gives her valuable perspective to bring to our school board table. And Nohr has a right as well as a responsibility to ask questions of administrators and longtime trustees, to better understand the underpinnings of motions that she must make decisions about. This latest attempt to pressure

Nohr to fall in line with the decisions of longtime trustees is having a backlash. Those of us who follow school board politics know Nohr is doing her job representing her constituents and we value her efforts to make decision-making in this district more transparent. We know that any thriving public institution draws upon the expertise of

every member of its elected board and that this dynamic is not in play. We can learn from the business community about the folly of not valuing all of the expertise around a board table. We, the taxpayers, are the investors in public education. And we need to pay more attention to which of

Readers respond: Terry Fox, 9/11 questions Inspirational runner Fox remembered fondly More than 30 years ago, my family and I were at the first Terry Fox Run. I have supported it ever since. We all want to see the end of cancer, but let’s not forget the young man who was the first to take on running to help raise funds for cancer research. How sad that some runs had to be cancelled this year due to a lack of volunteers. There is only so much money a person can give, and there just seems to be more and more charities wanting money. Millions of dollars have been raised by the Fox family in Terry’s memory. Let’s not forget. Eileen Nattrass Saanichton

9/11 explanation needs to be revisited The blue-and-orange billboard beside the Pat Bay Highway is part of a world-wide advertising campaign by an association of 2,000 architects and engineers called A&E for 9/11 Truth. The campaign is endorsed by more than 100 family members of

9/11 victims, who invite us to rethink 9/11 and understand that a third tower, World Trade Centre 7, fell that day in 2001. The official explanation for its collapse, that it was weakened by falling debris from the Twin Towers and that raging office fires caused its massive steel framework to fail, is contradicted by photo and video evidence. Tower 7 sustained relatively light damage and its fires never grew hot enough to melt steel. Towers 5 and 6, which also burned, were closer to the Twin Towers and pummelled by falling debris, yet their steel frameworks remained standing. During Tower 7’s collapse, characteristics of a controlled demolition were plainly evident. The tower fell straight down into its own footprint, at free-fall acceleration, meaning that all its supporting structure was severed almost simultaneously. In the dust and debris, scientists found residue of the type of explosives and incendiaries used in controlled demolitions because they rapidly melt steel. This explains reports by firemen and first responders that they saw molten metal “flowing like lava.” Setting up a controlled demolition

our trustees really are making a contribution to our school system. Unfortunately, most of Nohr’s contributions, and those of other first-time trustees, are mostly blocked by longtime trustees. Voting records from April 2012 onward can be found on the School District 61 website. Starla Anderson Saanich

This week’s online poll

for such a massive building requires a team of experts with prolonged access. Given that Tower 7 – which housed the CIA, U.S. Secret Service and the Department of Defence – was one of the most secure buildings in New York City, it is highly unlikely that a team from a foreign country managed to breach its security. This raises disturbing questions: Who set WTC-7 up for demolition? And why? Further, it supports the evidence that WTC Towers 1 and 2 were also brought down by controlled demolition. A new documentary from Massimo Mazzucco called September 11 – The New Pearl Harbour (bit.ly/16eiOz8), provides new evidence that the official account of 9/11 violates the laws of physics and is therefore impossible. The official narrative is so flawed it raises serious doubts as to the legitimacy of the supposed war on terror it spawned against Middle East nations, with Syria now threatened to be next. A valid investigation is still possible and needed to reveal the truth. Brian Burchill Oak Bay

Does Greater Victoria need further restrictions on where people can smoke in public? Yes, the public needs to be further protected from the effects of second-hand smoke No, the existing regulations are ample to protect public health Possibly, but smokers need not have to stand in the street or in a parking lot to light up Last week’s question: Was Adrian Dix right to step down as leader of the B.C. NDP? • Possibly, but the party still needs to have a good hard look at itself between now and the next election (49%) • Yes, the party has a better chance of winning the 2017 provincial election with a different leader at the helm (47%) • No, staying on would have shown solid leadership (4%) – visit vicnews.com to vote

Butt boosts Blue Bridge festival

weekend

Brent Butt is hosting a live talk show nightly during the Blue Bridge Comedy Festival. Supplied photo.

he Blue Bridge is soon to be just a ghost in Victoria’s Inner Harbour, but if Vancouver-based comic Dan Quinn has anything to say about it, its legacy will live on. Quinn is hosting the second annual Blue Bridge Comedy Festival, a bigger and better version of the festival that kept Victorians laughing for a week straight last September. This year’s iteration runs until Sept. 29. The pinnacle of last year’s festival was the gala show, hosted by Brent Butt at the Archie Browning Sports Centre. But Quinn decided to take a different approach this time around. Instead of one big show with a large capacity, this year’s festival offers many shows, in smaller, more intimate venues. Lucky Bar, the Copper Owl, Esquimalt High, the Victoria Event Centre, Ecole Victor Brodeur, Hecklers, Upstairs Cabaret, Club 9one9 and the Fleet Club are all hosting shows this time around. Venues range from a few dozen seats to a several hundred. And the shows range in content, too. “The Big Show is the biggest names, people you see on TV, while the Dark and Dirty Show is more edgy. If you’re married with a couple of kids, this show probably isn’t the one for you. If you don’t want to be offended,

we’ve got shows for you, too.” There’s the Fairly Clean Show, Ratfish Lounge, the Best of Victoria Show, the Young Guns, the Out and About Show, podcast tapings, a headliner series featuring the likes of Mike Wilmot, Pete Zedlacher, Graham Clark, Brian Posehn and Elvira Kurt and even a nightly talk show — hosted by actor, comic and creator of CTV’s hit sitcom Corner Gas, Brent Butt. “I hosted the gala show last year and I was envious of all the guys who got to hang around all week and see the other shows. It’s a really fun festival with a great crowd,” Butt says. Butt’s nightly talk show at the Victoria Event Centre will feature some standup, some prepared bits and some different comedic guests each night, but most of the show will be off the cuff. “It’s always a lot of fun. The format allows for fun for the audience and the performers. It’s a hybrid between a talk show and a TV show.” The best part, says Butt, is that it’s in such a small room. “There’s nothing that compares to playing a small venue. While there’s magic in playing a big theatre, a small venue with a low ceiling and 200 people — that’s ideal.” For more information, a full schedule and artist profiles, visit bluebridgecomedyfestival.com.

What Should You Do if Someone is Having a Heart Attack?

W. Gifford-Jones, MD

t has been widely talked about for many years so it doesn’t come as a big surprise... heart disease, strokes and heart attacks are at an all-time high, affecting millions of Canadians. In fact, about 8 out of 10 Canadians are at risk of developing cardiovascular disease -a devastating illness that 74,000 people die from each year.

What exactly is a heart attack? When the blood supply to the heart is slowed or stopped because of a blockage, a heart attack occurs. Atherosclerosis, the narrowing of coronary arteries due to plaque buildup, causes more than 90% of heart attacks. A heart attack may also occur when a coronary artery temporarily contracts or goes into a severe spasm, shutting off blood flow to the heart. Not all people who have heart attacks experience the same symptoms or experience them to the same degree. Many heart attacks aren’t as dramatic as the ones you’ve seen on TV. Some people have no symptoms at all, while for others, the first sign may be sudden cardiac arrest. Still, the more signs and symptoms, the greater the likelihood that person may be having a heart attack. The severity of heart attack symptoms can vary too. Some people have mild pain, while others experience severe pain. A heart attack can occur anytime — at work or play, while you’re resting, or while you’re in motion. Some heart attacks strike suddenly, but many people who experience a heart attack have warning signs and symptoms hours, days or weeks in advance. The earliest warning of a heart attack may be recurrent chest pain (angina) that is triggered by exertion. Angina is caused by a temporary decrease in blood flow to the heart.

Common symptoms include: • Pressure, tightness, pain, or a squeezing or aching sensation in the chest or arms. It may also spread to the neck, jaw or back. • Nausea, indigestion, heartburn or abdominal pain • Shortness of breath • Sweating or a cold sweat • Feelings of anxiety or an impending sense of doom • Fatigue • Trouble sleeping • Light-headedness or dizziness

What to do if you see someone having a heart attack? If you encounter someone who is unconscious from a presumed heart attack, call for emergency medical help If you have received training in emergency procedures, begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This helps deliver oxygen to the body and brain.

L ong Weekends Rock

According to the American Heart Association, regardless of whether you’ve been trained, you should begin CPR with chest compressions. Press down about 2 inches (5 centimeters) on the person’s chest at a rate of about 100 a minute. If you’ve been trained in CPR, check the person’s airway and deliver rescue breaths after every 30 compressions. If you haven’t been trained, continue compressions until help arrives.

If you are experiencing any warning signs, you should call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number right away, or have someone call for you. Stop all activity and sit or lie down in a position that is most comfortable and try to remain calm until help arrives.

What can you do to improve your heart health? Dr. Linus Pauling, two-time Noble Prize winner, reported 25 years ago that humans do not make their own Vitamin C. He also found that Vitamin C is needed to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Dr. Pauling also found that taking several thousand milligrams of Vitamin C a day can help to remove artery blockages and help to prevent a heart attack.

Darkness visible ROBERT mOyES arts@mondaymag.com

wo very young girls are kidnapped at the beginning of Prisoners, and a suspect is soon in custody – a gormless young man with “creep” written all over him. But after a night of questioning, the lead investigator (Jake Gyllenhaal) believes that the fellow, who has the mental acuity of a 10-year old, is probably innocent. And with nothing but the scantiest of circumstantial evidence, the cops have to let him go. That’s when what started out as a standard police procedural takes a disturbing left turn. One of the two fathers (Hugh Jackman), a sternly religious man and survivalist, turns vigilante and kidnaps the possible suspect, determined to make him talk. Suddenly the film is taking the audience into not one, but two very dark places: a missing-children thriller that winds deep into the past on the trail of a terrible evil, and into the heart of a decent man who finds himself able to do the most shocking things to save his child. A few clues hint at strange possibilities, but nothing firms up. Days pass and desperation increases. A second “person of interest” emerges and the plot gradually shifts from the bleak realism of a crime classic like Mystic River to lurid territory more akin to Silence of the Lambs. This sudden onslaught of horror-movie tropes seem slightly unworthy in a thoughtful film showcasing Oscar-worthy performances. That said, Prisoners is still absolutely worth seeing. But be aware this is harsh and brutal cinema – one with several scenes that almost made my wife flee the theatre in search of a large restorative brandy. Rating:

★★★½

Prisoners continues at the Empire 6, SilverCity, Empire Uni 4, and Westshore

Catching up to Salinger

otoriously reclusive author J.D. Salinger, most famous for his coming-of-age novel Catcher in the Rye, would have hated the documentary that bears his name. Quite a few critics have sneered at Salinger too, complaining about everything from the bombastic music to its “tabloid” approach more interested in sensationalism than sensitive literary analysis. Notwithstanding its flaws, Salinger is an interesting and wideranging look at a true literary lion – a deeply flawed man whose very personal writing achieved a profound resonance with readers around the globe. The director follows a simple psychological throughline, positing that Salinger’s horrific experiences in the Second World War left him with crippling emotional scars – a trauma that he forever after tried to purge by writing obsessively, often for days at a time. He did this locked down in the so-called “bunker” some distance from his house, totally isolated from his wife and children. It’s hard to ignore the irony of a man selfishly ignoring his own flesh and blood in order to spend endless hours in the company of the fictional Glass family whom he chronicled in numerous short stories. And Salinger’s pattern of seducing smart but impressionable girl-women and then controlling them is also explored – and in salacious enough detail to discomfit many of his fans. There are a few dozen talking heads in Salinger, everyone from literary editors to his estranged daughter, from admiring actors like Philip Seymour Hoffman to acerbic cultural gadfly Gore Vidal. Given that the writer who published so little in his lifetime will posthumously double his oeuvre with the release of several books in the next few years, this documentary is a useful, albeit superficial, refresher course in the life and legend of a classic author. Rating: ★★★ Salinger continues at the Odeon

Howling for defence Wolves surviving early injuries to vets Travis Paterson News staff

Myles and Gerry Fitzgerald celebrate a goal with Rory Maguire, centre, and Nick Charif, No. 24, against the Salmon Arm Silverbacks during the BCHL Showcase in Chilliwack on Saturday (Sept. 7). The Grizzlies won 5-4 in overtime.

Grizz back in the Bear Grizzlies host Bulldogs, Backs Travis Paterson News staff

Home again, home again, jiggity-jig. The Victoria Grizzlies are happy to be back practising and, as of today (Sept. 27), playing in Bear Mountain Arena. Tonight is the Grizzlies (3-3) seventh game of the B.C. Hockey League season and first at home, as the winless Alberni Bulldogs (0-7) visit. Puck drop is 7:15 p.m. Tomorrow the Salmon Arm Silverbacks visit at the same time. When you’re home is arguably one of the nicest arenas in the province – dressing rooms aside – it’s good to be back. “Being on the road, it was good for us to build as a group

and build teamsmanship, but there was some adversity playing the second game on the road in two nights,” assistant head coach and general manager Craig Didmon said. “We’ve done well to come out of it 3-3.” The past two Friday games were wins for the Grizzlies, in Powell River and Nanaimo. But each was followed up with a loss the next night. “Saturday we didn’t bring our best performance. We have a lot of new players who’ve come in and who’re ready to be good players in the league, just need to learn the way the league is and we’ll be one of those teams that continues to get better as the year goes on,” Didmon said. Fans can expect to see the same dazzling moves from the Fitzgerald brothers Gerry, who leads the team in scoring with

four goals and five assists, and Myles and Leo. Didmon says the team is even more offensively dynamic up front than last year, but it will take a while to see it consistently. “We’ve (also) got some raw defencemen who have great skills and puck moving skills. Again, it takes time to figure out the league.”

Engineering a deal The Grizzlies are happy with its goaltending duo of local boys Nic Renyard, the starter, and Alec Dillon, the backup. On Saturday Dillon committed to an NCAA scholarship offer from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Engineers in New York. Dillon starred for the Westshore Wolves junior B team last year. sports@vicnews.com

NEW 2 LEVEL

The Victoria Grizzlies aren’t the only team moving home this week as the Westshore Wolves are also back home in The Bear. The Wolves might have drawn the unluckiest start of any club for this Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League season. Not only has the Mann Cup kept them out of Bear Mountain Arena until this week, the Wolves have been without four of its top six forwards to start the season. “We’re coming but it’s a work in progress,” coach Rob Doyle said. “You never know quite what you’re going to get with us.” The Wolves (3-4-1-0) visit the Saanich Braves tonight (3-3-0-0) in hopes of wresting away another hard-earned win. Puck drop is 6:30 p.m. at Pearkes Arena. Despite injuries to captain Joel Gordon and two of its top scor-

ers from last season, Clay Carson and Kyle Richter, the Wolves have stayed the course. Doyle hopes the team has stemmed the bleeding on defence from a couple of early season blowouts, 10-0 to the Victoria Cougars on Sept. 8 and 6-1 to the Nanaimo Buccaneers on Sept. 18. In three of the last four games, the Wolves gave up 47, 51, and 70 shots. Remarkably, the Wolves won the 70-shot game with only 31 shots for, a 6-5 overtime win against the Campbell River Storm on Sept. 11. “Our goaltending is not the problem. When you give up 50 to 60 shots a game, it’s a total lack of defensive commitment,” Doyle said. The return of the aforementioned injured players will help. So will getting veteran Kayle Ramsay back. Ramsay is still serving a lengthy one-month suspension from the end of last season. “Looking at the big picture right now, maybe it’s a better thing, guys are showing us some things we might not have seen from them. Instead of baby steps, some guys are taking giant steps.” sports@vicnews.com

Putting on a Brave face Travis Paterson News staff

With some highly talented forwards flying up front for the Saanich Braves, fans can be forgiven for mistaking this season’s team as one that’s flirting with a reload rather than a rebuild VIJHL season. Not true says coach Brad Cook. “We’re definitely in a rebuild year, we’re already starting to see the inexperience and youth show its face. But we’re letting these kids find there way after a good start,” he said.

The Braves had an electric home opener at the beginning of the month, storming back from a four goal deficit to beat the Wolves. But it’s not all rosy. “You can’t get comfy as a young player, and I’m not sure some of the guys we opened the season with have shown me they are ready to stay.” The defence is the Braves’ rock, led by last year’s VIJHL defender of the year Garrett Kemmler, Jordan Groenhyde, Tom Dakers and Liam Sproule, though Sproule and Gronehyde are injured. sports@vicnews.com

No luck at Mission for driver Travis Paterson News staff

Bill Okell put a stamp on another successful sports car season driving his modified 1964 MGB to two wins in the Nasport Lite Championship at Thundershill Raceway Park in Willows, Calif., near Sacramento. It’s the fourth straight Nasport Lite title for Okell and his crew, with first place finishes on Saturday and Sunday. But it’s still not Okell’s desired season, as the Victoria gear head was striving to get back into the winner’s circle of the GTU Sports Car standings at the River’s Edge Road Course in Mission. “Unfortunately I strive for perfection,” Okell said. “I’m not

going out on a losing note so I’ll be back again next year.” Two weekends ago Okell had the chance to win the GTU series. He went into the final

Teen event pools resources, adds splash of fun Partial proceeds go to Victoria-based KidStart Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

Song, dance, swag and more than 100 booths of info will fill Eagle Ridge arena in hopes of bolstering teen spirit. “We’re parents, and we realize it’s really hard for us to find resources for our kids,” said Ali Berman, co-founder of the TeenFest event. “We also realize teens need a place to go, a place they feel safe and where they can meet other teens.” Youth won’t take the time to find the help they need, or even realize it may be available, she pointed out. “We thought , ‘let’s do it for them. Lets teach them we have amazing resources like Kids Help Phone.’ How many kids know there’s a service out there 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year?” Berman and her husband organized their first teen expo this past April. They tweaked the program to present TeenFest at Eagle Ridge for the fall season. “If we make it fun and engaging they’re going to want to keep coming back,” said Berman, who plans to offer the free event each spring and fall. “It was important for us to make it free to make it accessible to everyone. It’s all about the youth. It’s all about giving them choices and opportunity to showcase who they are. The cool stuff will obviously get the teens in.” Cool stuff includes swag bags for the first 500 teens and a show by singing artist

Rosette, known for the single “Fire” and, more recently, “Amnesia” with DJ Ian Carey and Timbaland. “She’s coming to perform with her dancers because she believes in youth advocacy,” Berman said. “We’re bringing everything under one roof and it’s a way for them to connect.” Diverse speakers will take to the main

stage to speak about how to stand up to bullies, being financially savvy and even teen hair. Information about everything from trade schools to help lines will be on hand. The one-day exhibition is for youth ages 12 to 18 but open to families, caregivers and educators across Vancouver Island. “Parents may have some questions and

need some answers,” Berman said. Funds raised by the event will go to the Victoria-based youth organization KidStart. Victoria TeenFest happens Oct. 5 at Eagle Ridge Community Centre, 1089 Langford Pkwy. The event runs from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Visit teenfest.ca for details. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Colin Mailey wasn’t quite 16 when a friend invited him and his brother John for a preview look at 30 classic cars on display at Burnaby’s Brentwood Mall. ALYN EDWARDS “I’ve always had a CLASSIC thing for cars,” Colin RIDES says. It was late in the summer of 1976 and the mall promotions director had organized a Canadian Graffiti Back-to-School Days contest to attract customers to the mall. The person who guessed the weight of a light blue 1953 Chevrolet convertible displayed on a podium would win the car. Advertising declared: Guys and gals 16 to 21 years – you could win a 1953 Chevy Convertible – $3,000 value. “They had just pulled the car into the mall and it was beautiful,” Colin recalls of the moment he first saw the convertible. “The possibility of winning it was entrancing.” He and his brother John set out to do just that. They took a scientific approach getting the shipping weight from the manufacturer specifications without

YOUR HEALTH

The interior of Colin Mailey’s ‘prize’ 1953 Chevrolet convertible is in excellent condition.

President’s own story: 15 years ago I started to have arthritis, prostate, kidney, snoring and sleep apnea problems, which were all helped quickly with natural health products. I made it my life’s purpose to help others. Nick A. Jerch

ARTHRITIS

NPN 80042283 Helps to relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis.

Truthful actual experiences from real people:

For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage #1 spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON For 32 years I cried barrels of tears. Was in and out of hospitals costing society tens of thousands of dollars. I have taken many thousands of pills that nearly killed me. Finally 3 bottles of Bell Shark Cartilage costing less than $100 stopped a lifetime of suffering without side effects. Eleanor Sauson, Shigawake, QC I suffered for years with sciatica. I tried everything and finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. After this experience I realised I could help many of those 5 million Canadian that suffer every day and night and I started to sell this same type of shark cartilage #1 and helped hundreds of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle Products. Many people on our website write: “Can walk again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can sleep at night”…hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away byproduct of the food industry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.

SNORING?

by SLEEP AsDr. recommended Gifford-Jones M. D. 80027595 Helps to APNEA? NPN reduce the time it takes to

What people truly experience: In most cases also stops snoring and gasping

fall asleep

for air (sleep apnea) first night. Stops torturing your partner all night. Good sleep prevents being tired next day. Tired people work only at half capacity. I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or #23 stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON.

Allergies

are a modern epidemic

NPN 80043542. Provides source of antioxidants. Holy basil is traditionally used in Ayurveda as an expectorant to help relieve respiratory catarrh (inflammation of respiratory tract mucus membranes). By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD.

What people experience: I tried numerous other remedies all my life that were not effective. Since I discovered #24. I do not have a stuffy nose and itchy eyes when pollen season comes around. I don’t have to walk around like a doped zombie anymore. Leonard Waldner, 44, Delia, AB For 20 years my life was miserable with sneezing, watery eyes and sinus pressure year-round on most days. I was amazed. On 3rd day all allergies were gone. It was like magic. Becky Gerber, 25, Dover, OH Golfing without allergy attacks I tried all the medications and none worked. After taking 1 capsule in the morning I’m completely free of all symptoms. Richard Gamez, 74, San Antonio, TX God bless you I went from doctor to doctor for years with #24 allergy sinus problems. The medications made me still sicker. After starting Bell Allergy Relief one capsule at night I felt like born again the next morning. Therese Noto, 58, New York, NY.

Bladder & Yeast Infection

NPN License #80038535 A diuretic to help relieve mild urinary tract infections. True success stories by women: Bladder & Yeast Infection #31 works within a day or two! My experience in the last 4 years is that whenever I feel symptoms of an infections I take two capsules for a day or two and the infection is gone. I love this product. Pat Pearce, 53, Brantford, ON 30 years of bladder infections gone! For 30 years my doctor prescribed antibiotics. As soon as the medication finished the next bladder infection came back. After 2 days taking Bell # 31 I noticed a complete relief of my infection I had all these 30 years. God bless you all for helping all of us women. Emell Whitaker, 69, Bronx, NY Bladder infections kept on coming back. Since starting Bell Bladder & Yeast Infection #31 my infection was gone and I now take it from time to time for prevention and I have no more bladder or yeast infections. I told family and friends how good Bell products are. Thank you! Maria Racz, 60, Vancouver, BC Went to the bathroom 10 times in an hour #31 and more frequently at night!. In the last 2 years I went a number of times to the doctor and got different antibiotics and none of them worked. My urination would burn enormously. I bought your Bell Bladder & Yeast infection #31. I can now work all day or sleep all night without getting up to go to the bathroom. I am not afraid anymore to drink water when I am thirsty. Praise the Lord! Thank you! Harriett Priester, 60, North Charleston, SC

Inflammexx

NPN 80041845 An anti-inflammatory to help joint pain. By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD.

People write us it helps with all types of inflammation:

#70

For the last 7-8 years I had inflammation in my spine L4 & L5, back and neck muscles that was unbearable and almost crippled me. After starting #70 for 30 days it gave me relief like a miracle. Most pain has disappeared and I can function again. Heather Tremblay, 53, Medicine Hat, AB Had “Charlie horses” bumps on my legs that were very painful. I tried everything. After taking #70 the bumps diminished and I had no more pain. Mary Griego, 67, Tijeras, NM I had shingles for 30 years. After taking #70 for my shingles I discovered it also relieved my frozen shoulders. I can now raise my arms above my head, exercise and do all work again. I am ecstatic. Lovorn M. Bowe, 60, Roanoke, VA Big difference in chronic nerve pain I suffered for 15 years all over my body, especially sciatica, osteoporosis, gout. I had great relief within 1 week. Cecile Sager, 69, Verner, ON Inflamed achilles tendon relief in 2 weeks. I am back on the court playing basket ball. Inflammexx is amazing. Alan R. Spady, 67, Bothell, WA

accessories and fluids. “I called the mall management and asked if all the fluids had been drained out of the car for safe display,” Colin recalls. He was assured that the car contained no gasoline, oil or water. Since the car wasn’t equipped with a radio, he and his brother went to a local scrap yard to weigh a 1953 Chevrolet radio. It weighed 15 pounds on the nose and they subtracted that weight from their estimates. Brentwood Mall promotions had consigned the 21-year-old Chevrolet BelAir convertible for a body and paint job, new carpets and a new convertible top – all for $1,000. It looked like new. Colin had written his estimate of 3,470 pounds on a tiny piece of paper torn from a match book that he had with him. At the last moment, he put a one through the zero. “I added one pound for luck,” he says of the moment. He filled out the entry form in blue ink, leaving the actual line to add in the weight of the car open. When his brother came out of a nearby store with a new pen, he used it to fill in his guess of 3,471 pounds in red ink and deposited the form in the collection box. Several days later, Colin received a call from the mall promotions manager saying he wanted to ask some questions and telling him to be sure to be on hand selection day “because you have a good chance of winning.” When he arrived at the mall on Saturday, Sept. 4, 1976 with his mother and brother, the man in charge called him into an office and wanted to know why the entry was filled out in blue ink and the weight of the car was written in red ink. “I explained about my brother handing me a pen he had just bought and he said he could accept that. He then told me I had won the car,” Colin says.

Although there were 70 entrants within one pound of the exact weight, Colin was the only one to nail it right on at 3,471 pounds. He was told the car actually weighed an additional four ounces but his guess was the correct number rounded off to pounds. His brother John was 100 pounds out in his guess. Colin was 15 when he submitted his guessed weight of the car but turned 16 just two days before the draw date. The light blue convertible was delivered to his Surrey home. He could drive his convertible, but, when school started for Colin in September, the car stayed at home. “I wasn’t into trying to impress anyone with the car,” he recalls. The car stayed with him and he drove it to his job as a stockman at K-Mart in White Rock in the early 1980s before putting the car into storage. Today, Colin is a property manager and lives with his wife and two children on acreage on the Sunshine Coast. His lifelong interest in cars continues and he owns a completely original 1940 Plymouth sedan and a 1976 Cadillac Eldorado convertible. Parked alongside these collector cars is the light blue 1953 Chevrolet BelAir convertible he won back in 1976. Looking back, he thought he was pretty smart at the time. But the reality is, when the car was delivered, he was surprised to find the radio in the trunk, the car nearly full of gas and several containers of coolant, throwing his calculations way off. “I was very lucky to come up with the weight of 3,470 pounds and then adding one pound for luck at the last minute. That was bizarre, but someone upstairs wanted me to have it,” he says.

Automotive enthusiasts helped raise more than $52,000 for the Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island at the recent Vancouver Island Motor Gathering at the Queen Alexandra grounds, in Cadboro Bay. Presented by the German Auto Import Network (GAIN), the event featured hundreds of spectacular cars and motorcycles of all makes and models, as well as entertainment, food and fun for the entire family. The more than 200 participants who showcased their vehicles showed up in style, vying for 15 trophies awarded for everything from Most Original and Best Muscle Car to Best Classic Motorcycle and Best in Show. Some 2,000-plus spectators took in this family-oriented event, featuring face painting, Tom Thumb pedal cars, radio-operated cars, craft stations, a bouncy castle, a hayride and of course, many beautiful vehicles. Between the generous sponsors, participants and spectators, the 2013 Vancouver Island Motor Gathering raised $52,821 to help children and youth with special needs reach their potential. The money raised will help the Children’s Health Foundation purchase much-needed new equipment. Learn more about next year’s event at http://gain-vi.ca/ motorgathering

Johnson Controls debuts firstgeneration micro hybrid battery Metroland Media

Johnson Controls, the maker of VARTA automotive batteries, has unveiled its first-generation 48-volt Lithium-ion Micro Hybrid battery. Featuring a dual voltage architecture, Johnson Controls Micro Hybrid battery system will involve a 12-volt starter battery and a 48-volt Lithium-ion battery that enables optimization of energy generation and consumption. This technology has the potential to provide up to 15 per cent fuel savings in vehicles and will be available for testing with key automotive customers in December. The 48-volt battery is designed with the capacity to quickly capture energy from braking and can support higher loads such as air-conditioning and active chassis technologies. The 12-volt battery will continue to provide power to the vehicle Campus starter, interior and exterior lights, and entertainment systems such as radios and DVD players. The battery is designed with standardized components and size to help drive scale and minimize cost.

Over $1,000,000 Worth of Premium Used Vehicles For Sale

Earlier this month – Sept. 14, in fact – 74-year-old Long Island native and retired science teacher Irv Gordon was expect to reach a milestone no other individual has accomplished in more than 100 years of automobile manufacturing: driving three million miles in the same vehicle – a shiny, cherry red 1966 Volvo P1800. To mark the occasion, Gordon was to drive his three millionth mile on the Seward Highway – Alaska Highway 1 – along the Turnagain Arm. The “Last Frontier” is one of two U.S. states Gordon had never visited and a fitting backdrop for this historic, record-breaking achievement. “It’s not about getting to the three million miles; it’s about the trips that got me to the three million miles,” Gordon said.

“I never had a goal to get to one million, to two million. I just enjoyed driving and experiencing life through my Volvo.” With a 125-mile roundtrip daily commute, a fanatical dedication to vehicle maintenance and a passion for driving, Gordon logged 500,000 miles in 10 years. In 1987, he celebrated his onemillionth mile driving a loop around the Tavern on the Green in Central Park. In 1998 with 1.69 million miles, Gordon made the Guinness Book of World Records for most miles driven by a single owner in a non-commercial vehicle. In 2002, he drove the car’s two-millionth mile down Times Square to international media attention. Since then, Gordon has broken his record every time he drives his celebrated car.

results from the track... Victoria race car drivers enjoyed a good summer of racing and with fall season upon us, championships for some are on the line. Highlands resident Josh Reaume, 22, has been engineering his way through North Carolina-based racing team Tri-Star motorsports but has managed to slip in a few races along the way. His marquee effort so far has been competing in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Iowa Speedway in early July.

At Evergreen Speedway’s NASCAR K and N Pro Series West event, Reaume took the Colonial Countertops Toyota to a 14th-place finish after tagging the backstretch wall late in the 150 lap race. With a little less than two months left in the Nascar season, Reaume may have more racing still to come. Saanich driver Bill Okell has been busy on both sides of the border.
