Smokers kicked to the curb
Want bike lanes? Wait two centuries
The CRD’s latest clean air bylaw would push smokers to the fringes of downtown Victoria to light up Daniel Palmer

It’s the summer of 2014 in downtown Victoria. An unassuming tourist wanders down Trounce Alley off Government Street, admiring the quaint storefronts before stopping to light a cigarette. “I’m sorry, but you’re not allowed to smoke here,” says a disapproving passerby. The tourist returns to the swarm of pedestrians along Government and takes a drag. Dirty looks continue until a nearby food cart operator informs the tourist Give us your comments of a new region-wide bylaw by email: editor@vicnews. com. All letters must include that restricts smoking within seven metres of any doora name and a telephone way, window or air intake. number for verification. “I think you should be OK along the Inner Harbour,” the local says. “But don’t stop in Bastion Square – public spaces are banned too.” As restrictive tobacco bylaws continue to expand across North American cities, smokers are left with shrinking public space in which to enjoy a legal activity. The Capital Regional District’s latest clean air bylaw, if approved by the board next week, would ban smoking in parks, public squares and playgrounds. Large swathes of downtown Victoria would also be smoke-free if the minimum smoking distance from buildings is increased from three to seven metres.
What do you think?

Changes to the Capital Regional District’s clean air bylaw would restrict smoking within seven metres of any doorway, window or air intake. Critics say the bylaw doesn’t strike a balance between personal freedom and public health concerns.

Unless Victoria city council can find a mountain of money, its 30-year vision for the city could take nearly two-and-a-half centuries to bring to reality. An asset management report made public this week reveals the city’s pedestrian, bicycle, harbour pathway and greenways master plans will cost at least $177 million and take between 75 years and 243 years to complete at current funding levels. The report also lists the price tags of projects needing immediate decisions from council, including up to $58 million to rebuild Crystal Pool, $16.5 million for seismic upgrades at Fire Hall No. 1 and a $3-million to $7-million shortfall to refurbish the Bay Street Bridge. “We need a fire hall and we need a Bay Street Bridge,” said Coun. Lisa Helps. PlEASE SEE: Infastructure needs, Page A7

Last cruise ship departs for season The last cruise ship of the 2013 season left Ogden Point on Monday, while intense winds kept the last expected vessel docked in Vancouver. Westerdam, a Holland America Line ship, stayed an extra night in Vancouver Sunday when winds of up to 105 km/h whipped through the Strait of Georgia. About 450,000 passengers and 150,000 crew came through Victoria this summer on 205 cruise ships, according to the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority. The Wave Venture, a marine cable repair vessel, will use Ogden Point as a home port throughout the winter season.

Runners set marathon pace Charles Hogg and Liz Carr take up the challenge of next weekend’s Goodlife Fitness Victoria Marathon Travis Paterson News staff
The reasons behind running a marathon for the first time are lifechanging for many people. For others, the reason is actually pretty simple. Charles Hogg, 37, works in the library inside the iconic B.C. legislature. He started running to lose weight in his mid 30s, when his small frame began to register closer and closer to 200 lbs. on the scale. He didn’t want to hit that second century mark and has since kept off the 40 lbs. he lost from running and diet changes. On Oct. 13, Hogg will be one of many first time runners at the GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon, which happens to start and end in front of his place of work. “I’m about 164 to 166 lbs. now, though it depends how much beer I have watching Sunday football,” he laughs. Hogg always believed he was active. He took up ice hockey as an adult, before the demands of a young family put an end to that. “I was putting on weight because the sports I was doing back in high school were done. As an adult, you don’t go out on the weekend with the guys and wrestle. It’s just not one of those sports,” he said. There’s just one tiny glitch. Hogg’s training, in the final month before the marathon, has been hindered by a twisted ankle. “I was running at night a few weeks ago and I looked back to see where my running partners were behind me. I caught the edge of the road with my foot.” Confined to the elliptical machine since then, Hogg was hoping to be back on the road this week.
“I’m still going to go for it. I’ve done a lot of training. My biggest run was 36 kilometres before I hurt my ankle so I was getting close,” he says. “We’ll just see how it goes.” Whether Hogg completes his first marathon or not, the decision to start running (his first conquer was the TC 10K with a work team) has already changed his life. It’s changed the life of Liz Carr, too, but only after multiple sclerosis changed it first. When the 34-year-old was diagnosed in 2011 the MS Society told her to get into sports. “My first run with my running group was five kilometres. I almost quit, I really did, I was so winded. But I didn’t.” Carr had run before, but only short distances as part of a workout. When she learned she had MS – in the same way many people do, by going blind in one eye – she was floored. “I lost sight, lost a lot of strength on one side, and I lost all my confidence. I had to build it up from the bottom.” Carr, who’s the general manager of Kelsey’s restaurant in Saanich, is happy to make this her fourth half-marathon. Thanks to running and a renewed perspective on life she says she feels better than ever before. “Last year was my first half-marathon, it was an amazing experience. The full marathon, I might do it one day. It’s a lot more training. Hey, I went from not being able to run down the street to doing a half. For now, I’m happy with the half.” sports@vicnews.com
Liz Carr will take on the halfmarathon at this year’s Goodlife Fitness Victoria Marathon. Travis Paterson/News staff
On your mark …
Running with MS
The Goodlife Fitness Victoria Marathon consists of four races: the 42.2-kilometre marathon, 21.1-kilometre half-marathon, eight-kilometre road race and the Thrifty Foods Kids Run. All races are held on Oct. 13. The premier race – the marathon – starts at 8:45 a.m. on the corner of Menzies and Kingston streets and winds its way through Victoria and Oak Bay. The finish line is on Belleville Street in front of the B.C. legislature. The first marathoners should take just over two hours to complete the gruelling running challenge.
Liz Carr is one of a growing number of Canadians using exercise to deal with MS. “It’s a young person’s disease and it makes you re-evaluate everything about life,” Carr said. She’s been inspired by and in touch with local ultra-swimmer Susan Simmons, who swam the length of Cowichan Lake (34 kilometres) this summer. Carr is one of the top 10 fundraisers for the 2013 End MS Runners team, which supports the MS Society of Canada as part of the Charity Pledge Program team.

Some residents in the Cook Street Village area are living on contaminated land. Just how polluted remains to be seen. Nonetheless, a chemical discovered deep in the soil in their block has some homeowners fearful of how their property values may be affected. McKenzie Street resident Stephen Ban’s home is around the corner from a building at 325 Cook St., believed by environmental scientists to be the source of the chemical perchloroethylene, or perc, which is commonly used in the dry cleaning business. Fairfield Cleaners operated on the site from the 1970s to 2007. “The main thing for us is other people’s perspective,” Ban said, referring to future sales potential. He and his wife moved into their house in May and have no current plans to sell. But he is concerned about the possibility of one day having to either disclose contamination to a potential buyer or deal with soil remediation. “We still don’t know a whole lot,” he said, adding that he hopes the risk to human health and the environment is found to be minimal. Saanich-based Franz Environmental Inc. has been testing for the presence and spread of perc for the past two years. Most recently, crews took soil samples from underneath McKenzie, Oxford, Chester, Linden and Chapman streets between Sept. 9 and 13. Contamination has so far been confirmed on three residential properties on McKenzie, including Ban’s, and one on Oxford Street, said Jan Abbott, an environment scientist and project manager for Franz. Soil testing around the Cook Street building began several years ago, in relation to a development permit application made by a previous owner, Abbott said. Subsequent testing found the presence of perc, a heavy substance that sinks into the groundwater and can go deeper, but can also create vapours that rise to the surface, she said. The recent testing, for which results are due back “imminently,” Abbott said, is the latest attempt to determine just how far the chemical has spread and what the risks might be.
Don Descoteau/News staff
Water pools underneath the building at 325 Cook St. The site was the source of ground contaminants during decades of operation as a dry cleaner, but chemicals remain in the soil on surrounding residential properties. “We’re hoping to get a line in the ground saying ‘on this side it’s contaminated and on this side it’s not,’” she said. “Then we can go forward with a risk assessment to human health and environment, then look at remediation.” Some neighbours attending a Sept. 5 information meeting on the issue voiced concern over the safety of eating produce from backyard gardens. Since the testing began, close to 50 soil vapour monitors have been placed in yards and commercial properties in and around the block. A dozen were placed in bore holes after the recent road drilling, and 10 more placed on residential properties. Abbott said residents and other property owners can find information about contaminated sites and related requirements and responsibilities on the B.C. Ministry of Environment website (bit. ly/1dOzijI). She expects the results of soil testing, as well as a preliminary risk assessment, to be available for the next public information meeting, to be held at the Cook Street Activity Centre in November. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

City predicts balanced budget, but many questions remain Daniel Palmer News staff
Tough spending cuts made this year at the City of Victoria are paying off, but looming police and union contracts could dampen the hope of a balanced budget next year. In a report to council, finance director Brenda Warner said the City should be able to maintain its 3.25 per cent annual property tax increase over the next two years, thanks to innovations like automated flowerbed watering, electronic billing and earlier staff cuts. “The main risks to the operating budget

are related to policing,” Warner wrote in her report, noting the current cost-sharing agreement between Victoria and Esquimalt is set to expire Dec. 31. The CUPE collective agreement also expires at the end of December, while the fire collective agreement has been in limbo for four years, Warner noted. Union agreements are up for negotiation with every municipality in the Capital Region except Saanich, and talks should begin sometime this fall, said CUPE local 50 president John Burrows. “No concessions are the number one

focus for us,” Burrows said. “In terms of pay increases, if we believe there are inequities there, we’ll endeavour to correct them.” Both parties will use comparable agreements from other jurisdictions and factor in the current economic climate when negotiations begin, Burrows said. The City of Victoria could still identify increased revenue when an ongoing parking review comes back to council this fall. Money-making ideas include advertising in parkades and naming rights for the Victoria Conference Centre. Council will begin
strategic budget planning today (Oct. 4). dpalmer@vicnews.com

Infastructure needs to be maintained Continued from Page A1
“If we want to have a swimming pool and a walkable, bikeable city – which I absolutely want – and implement all of these master plans, we’re going to need to be really creative in how we go about those things.” The report provides several funding options and recommends Victoria property tax bills continue to rise at least 1.5 per cent until 2019 to help pay for the city’s deferred maintenance. That number doesn’t include another 16-19 per cent tax hike over the next few years to pay for the Capital Region’s $783-million secondary sewage treatment project. “it’s a bad time to be a Victoria property taxpayer, that’s for sure,” said Jordan Bateman, B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. “The sewage treatment plant has eaten up any available (property) tax space for residents.” Municipalities should instead be focusing on maintaining crucial infrastructure and plan for amenity spending when the economic climate is healthier, Bateman said. “Pipes in the ground aren’t sexy, but they are absolutely the lifeblood of any community,” he said. “The provincial
government has quit giving pay increases to its employees, municipalities need to do the same.” Coun. Charlayne Thornton-Joe said the city’s master plans are intended to guide long-term council decision-making rather than create immediate change. “The plans allows us to identify opportunities more quickly and take advantage when they’re in front of us,”
she said. “We’re basically confronting reality.” The report also estimates longerterm visions, like the redevelopment of Centennial Square and other city assets, would require at least another $193 million. Council discussed the report at a committee meeting yesterday, after the News deadline. dpalmer@vicnews.com
she said. “But in times when the economy is struggling, we need to do things more costeffectively.” The 20-year capital budget is expected to be revised once council agrees on spending priorities, while the long-term funding solution lies in forming stronger partnership with higher levels of government, Helps said. “This is a Canadawide problem,”

Leaf it on the Boulevard Victoria residents have two options for leaf collection: Scheduled Neighbourhood Leaf Collection
Bagged Leaves Call for Pick-up Service
The 2013 City of Victoria Residential Leaf Pick-up Schedule enables you to look up your neighbourhood’s deadline for placing leaves on the boulevard. Leaves can be placed in loose piles or in tied, clear 100% compostable bags. Neighbourhood leaf collection begins in November and ends in January.
From October 21 to December 16, Victoria residents can contact the City’s Parks Division at 250.361.0600 to arrange for their bagged leaves to be picked up from the boulevard within five working days at no additional charge. Bags must be tied, clear and 100% compostable.
There’s no limit to the number of compostable bags or leaf piles you can set out.
NEW
Starting October 7, residents can purchase clear, 100% compostable bags 89 cm x 127 cm in size at the Public Service Centre at City Hall and at the Crystal Pool and Fitness Centre. A package of 15 bags is $12.50 plus tax. (These bags are larger than those the City sells for kitchen catchers.)

OUR VIEW
Paying the price for infrastructure Most residents in Greater Victoria want public swimming pools that aren’t rusting, fire halls that won’t collapse in an earthquake, and bridges and roads that aren’t crumbling. Those are normal expectations for a relatively wealthy urban centre, but the repair bill faced by Victoria property owners is beyond daunting. The City of Victoria’s asset management report released this week outlined the crisis faced by taxpayers: tens of millions of dollars are needed in a few short years to repair and upgrade amenities like the Crystal Pool, the Bay Street Bridge and the main Victoria fire hall. That doesn’t include niceties like bike lanes or imposed projects like regional sewage treatment, which on its own promises colossal tax hikes. The City of Victoria’s asset management report focuses on its own municipality, but it provides an illuminating reality check for our entire region. Each Capital Region municipality faces increasing pressure to provide services and amenities, to keep roads, bridges and parks in good standing, while keeping property tax hikes in check. Easier said than done. Most municipalities have more infrastructure maintenance at any given time than they can afford. Unlike their provincial and federal counterparts, municipalities can’t run deficits just to meet general operation costs, although they can borrow funds for specific capital projects. There’s also no economic boom on the horizon that municipalities can bank on (again unlike the province and its plans to capitalize on liquid natural gas). As pointed out by Jordan Bateman of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation: “it’s a bad time to be a Victoria property taxpayer.” Looming tax increases from regional sewage will likely max out residents’ taxation capacity for years to come. Given the limited leeway for municipalities to raise revenue, the province should give serious consideration to a Union of B.C. Municipalities proposal to share more revenue with cities during economic boom times. That could be one part of the solution. In the meantime, municipal politicians and citizens across Greater Victoria will face difficult choices on what gets fixed and what gets deferred to the tax bill of future generations.

health-care reform. Okay, I get it that universal health care is expensive. But whenever you discuss government spending in the U.S., you can always fall back on that dependable old saw, “If the U.S. government just gave health care (or insert any program) a portion of the money it spends on the military …” It’s not the sustainability debate that puzzles me, it’s the vehemence with which opponents in the U.S. view health care. It’s the red scare of the 21st century, which, of course, has been raging since, well, the red scare of the 1950s and ’60s. It’s an ideological issue.

Of course, the fear for Canadians about Republican antics is that our Conservatives start to get funny ideas.

More walkable communities add to affordability Re: Cost of living weighs heavily on Greater Victoria residents (vicnews.com) On Tuesday, housing affordability and the inherent cost of living were identified as top concerns of residents of the Capital Region. However, this region is not unique in identifying this concern in North America. Many individuals and governments are missing out on opportunities to reduce their respective operating costs. One of the most overlooked
aspects of why we have so much debt is our desire to have the suburban lifestyle with two or more cars. With urban sprawl we have created a situation where we need to drive to conduct our daily activities. A recent StatsCan report indicated that in Canada we spend 18 per cent of our disposable income just on transportation and a further 30 per cent on housing that often exceeds our size needs. What if we lived in more compact communities with higher density,
had more affordable transportation and lived in domiciles that match the size of our families and needs. This is the norm in Europe and Asia, where they spend much less on moving goods, services and people. The International Association of Public Transport indicates that in European and Asian countries, five to eight per cent of GDP is spent on transportation, respectively. We spend 13 per cent in North America. Average household debt in
Readers respond: 9/11 theory debunked Taking aim at reader’s 9/11 building theory Re: 9/11 explanation needs to be revisited (Letters, Sept. 27) I was disappointed to learn that the stale and long debunked conspiracy theory regarding the collapse of World Trade Center Tower 7 appears to remain alive and well. It is difficult to know where to begin, but I shall address three of the fallacies raised by Mr. Burchill’s credulity as follows: 1) “During Tower 7’s collapse, characteristics of controlled demolition were plainly evident.” Not so. The tower did not, as claimed, “collapse into its own footprint;” quite the contrary in fact. In actuality, it tilted and twisted to one side as it fell and parts of the building severely damaged two neighbouring buildings. 2) “… scientists found residue of the type of explosives and incendiaries used in controlled demolitions …” Mr. Burchill fails to point out that his fellow conspiracy theorists claim that thermite, or a derivative, (thermate, nanothermite etc.) was used in order to
topple the tower quietly. Thermite, although its ignition is extremely hot, is simply not practical for carrying out a controlled demolition and there is no documentation of it ever having been used for that purpose. 3) “The tower fell straight down into its own footprint, at free-fall acceleration …” Again, simply not true; at the start of the collapse, materials fell at no more than two-thirds gravity (32 feet per second/per second) and by the end of the event at barely one-third g. As stated, the foregoing addresses only three of the many flaws in Mr. Burchill’s argument. For those people who are interested in learning more about this topic, I recommend a succinct argument of the issue, “The 9/11 Truth Movement: The Top Conspiracy Theory a Decade Later,” by Dr. Dave Thomas. It appears in the July/August 2011 edition of The Skeptical Inquirer, from which elements of my letter have been shamelessly paraphrased. John C. Simpson Oak Bay
Canada hit a new high of almost 170 per cent of disposable income in 2012, a sizeable jump from 150 per cent in 2010, StatsCan reported. Former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney also warned about the dangers that household debt poses to the economy going forward. We can improve our economic and physical health by creating more compact walkable communities. The choice is ours. Avi Ickovich Langford

Getting high with Pedro Almodovar ROBeRT MOyeS arts@mondaymag.com
A
lthough it’s hard to get all that excited about the newest film from Oscarwinning Spanish director Pedro Almodovar, I’m So Excited! is a fun trip. Socially transgressive, shot in crayon colours and featuring outrageously campy performances and zesty pop music, it’s an amusing echo of his provocative 1980s output. Mostly set aboard a passenger jet that has to make an emergency landing it may not survive, Excited has an interesting cast of characters who slowly get out of control. Leading the way is a trio of gay stewards who serve all the business-class passengers a highly alcoholic punch augmented with several caps of mescaline to lighten the mood. Whether it’s the aging dominatrix who fears assassination because she’s a blackmail threat to her coun-
try’s most powerful men, or the bisexual pilot who’s been carrying on with the lead steward, this plane is carrying lots of secret … and a full cargo of crazy. Several storylines are slowly fleshed out, amidst lots of sexually explicit shenanigans that are vintage Almodovar, most riotously when the trio of cabin attendants play the Pointer Sister’s I’m So Excited over the P.A. while exuberantly miming the song like transvestite cabaret performers. The movie is a cheeky salute to human sexuality (and, being by Almodovar, could just as easily have been titled I’m So Gay!). Funny but also a bit forgettable, Excited is a minor satirical work by a major director. That said, the performances are uniformly excellent, and the direction and visual flair are classic Almodovar. Be aware, though, that conservative-minded viewers may be discomfited by the film’s gleefully uninhibited sexual content. Rating: ★★★
PERFECTlY POTABlE: With Almodovar in mind let’s uncork a Dinastia Vivanco 2008, a plummy Rioja from Spain’s best wine-producing region. After 16 months of aging in heavily toasted oak barrels, this supple, medium-bodied red is a classic, with notes of cinnamon, chocolate and coffee emerging from a ripe core of black cherry and black currant fruit. Worth the splurge at $21.

TV time for Bulldogs Bulldogs will use bye to ‘get sorted’ Travis Paterson
Bringing the rain
News staff
The junior and senior varsity Belmont Bulldogs football teams will spend their bye weekend getting back to basics. The next senior varsity game is in Vancouver against the Notre Dame Jugglers on Friday, Oct. 11. The juniors have two straight byes, which actually works out, says coach Kevin Harrington. “It’s not normally ideal to have two byes but it is for our juniors right now as we’re just adding a few guys in still. We’re at 19 now and hoping for a few more, and need to get them all up to speed.” The senior team will watch film from the 35-13 loss to the New Westminster Hyacks last week. “We need to get back to basics. We came out flat against New West. I’m hoping to get that sorted out against Notre Dame next week,” Harrington said. The Bulldogs scored twice against the Hyacks as wide receiver Adam Philp caught a touchdown pass and Sam Varao rushed for the other major. sports@vicnews.com

Taking UVic lacrosse to the next level Travis Paterson News staff
Victoria is a hotbed for Canada’s national summer sport of box and field lacrosse. But our “national” sport is hardly that at the university level. However, a group of student athletes at UVic are looking to change things. The UVic Lacrosse Club, a nonvarsity registered club, host UBC on Saturday for the second annual Ice Breaker Series at the UVic turf field. There will be two games, noon and 3 p.m. “UBC is in the same boat we are. They play us annually and we’re trying to add games with them next semester. They’re headed to Edmonton later this month for another game but we’re not ready for that yet,” said Ian Paone, chairman of UVic field lacrosse. Paone grew up here and played hundreds of hours of field lacrosse in the Claremont secondary academy before playing one season for
Simon Fraser University, the only varsity lacrosse program in Canada west of Ontario. He left SFU and – after a few years at Whistler – returned to Victoria to go to UVic. “I still wanted to play lacrosse,” he said, “and we’re hoping to make a new league of club lacrosse teams in western Canada.” The field version of the game thrives in American universities and is a popular sport with B.C. youth. Many UVic students have played the game growing up, Paone said. Six universities would make up the new Western Canadian University Lacrosse League: University of Calgary, University of Alberta, University of Lethbridge, University of Saskatchewan, UBC and UVic. Each has a club already, and Paone hopes the league can take off in future years, and perhaps reach the same level as the Canadian University Field Lacrosse League (Ontario and Quebec) and Maritime University Field
Travis Paterson/News staff
Midfielder Ian Paone, chairman of the UVic Lacrosse Club, will be on the field when the club hosts UBC for two games on Saturday. Lacrosse League. The model would be similar to the successful B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League, a 10-team league which UVic is part of. “Eventually we want to get under
the same umbrella of Ontario and Quebec and the Maritimes and, have the winners of each play for a national championship.” A Western league is still in the preliminary stages however and
this weekend’s games against UBC are the primary focus of the day. “We have a core group of guys really committed plus a few more who show up here and there so we’ve got pretty good numbers,” Paone said. “Our women’s team is coming along too with about 10 players.” UVic lacrosse is recruiting players of all levels for both teams. The Victoria Women’s Field Lacrosse League donated a set of sticks to UVic’s women’s team meaning new players need only proper running shoes to come and try the sport. Practice time for the women is 2:30 to 4 p.m. on Mondays on the UVic turf. Practice time for the men is 8 to 8 p.m. for the men on Sunday nights. UVic lacrosse hosts a fundraiser at Touch Lounge on Saturday night. Tickets are $5 – half the normal price to get in – and proceeds go to the team. Email Ian for tickets at fieldlax@uvic.ca. sports@vicnews.com
Roadrunners serve early notice Sharon Tiffin/News staff
Reynolds Roadrunner power hitter Alexis Duval was a tournament all-star at the UBC Invitational on Sept. 20.
Rob Basi has coached Reynolds Roadrunners volleyball for more than 20 years and is counselling one of the surprise teams this season. The senior boys Roadrunners won the recent University of B.C. Invitational, coming first in a field of 40 teams. “It’s the first time we’ve won a tournament like this,” Basi said. In pool play the Roadrunners dusted Yale, Eric Hamber, Van Tech and Credo Christian in two straight sets. Then came a top-16 win over Gladston, a quarterfinal win over Claremont, 15-12 in the tie-
breaker third set, before a semifinal win against Steveston-London and final win over Delta. “It’s been a while since we had a strong team but (many senior boys teams) are strong. Belmont (Bulldogs) have a group that’s been together for five years, Oak Bay is always skilled and had a nice win over Belmont at the Camosun tourney, and Claremont is faring well.” At the heart of the Roadrunners is a good core of Grade 11s who had an exceptional junior season last year where they finished second at the Mennonite Educa-
tional Institute tournament in Abbotsford and won the Vancouver Island University tournament in Nanaimo. Among the Grade 11 group is setter David Lee, who, in Basi’s eyes, should have been named the UBC tournament MVP. Lee and Grade 12 power hitter Alexis Duval, who brings much needed height to the team at 6-foot-3, were named to the UBC tournament all-star team. “We’re still not polished, we need to work on the little things,” Basi said. sports@vicnews.com

Rams offence puzzles Jugglers School Running back Marcus Davis scored three touchdowns in the first quarter as the Mount Douglas Rams scored early and often with a 54-0 win over the Notre Dame Jugglers at Westhills Stadium on Friday (Sept. 27). The Rams (2-0) continue the high school football season with a road game versus the Vancouver College Fighting Irish on Saturday. Davis ran in 35- and 64-yard touchdowns and caught a 30-yard TD reception from quarterback Ashton MacKinnon all in the first frame. MacKinnon finished eight-for-nine in pass attempts, totalling 180 yards and touchdown throws, plus a 21-yard touchdown run. He connected with Ross Faulkner on the other TD pass. Joe Clarke threw a TD pass to Ryan Yeske. Julian Luis rushed six times for 107 yards and a touchdown. Pato Vega also ran in a TD and Callum Duke kicked six of seven converts. sports@vicnews.com
Lambrick Lions crowned with No. 1 ranking It’s early but the Lambrick Lions are so far deserving of its Oct. 1 ranking as the top AA girls volleyball team in the province. The Lions are no strangers to being among the top teams but it’s been a couple years since they were in the provincial gold medal final. In its first two league games the Lions swept both the Stelly’s Stingers and Mount Douglas Rams in three straight sets, part of the new best-of-five model being used in senior girls league play. The Lions also performed well at the UBC Invitational back on Sept. 20 and 21, making it into the final against Neelin from Brandon, Man., that province’s reigning provincial champs. Two of the Lion’s wins came against top-ranked B.C. schools, the No. 1-ranked AAA Timberline and No. 1-ranked AAAA Kelowna Christian, as well as last year’s AA champs Kalamalka. sports@vicnews.com

“The question is, when does the government have a right to tell us not to do something that is perfectly legal,” said Micheal Vonn, policy director with the B.C. Civil Liberties Association.

children and youth can be affected through exposure to smokers. But Vonn doesn’t buy Stanwick’s policy approach. Public health is a legitimate concern, she said, but some of the academic submissions given to the CRD board go too far in their scope. “The public health official is saying this is important to role model for children, and we know children are very impressionable.

for other people’s children,” Vonn said. The seven-metre expansion could also shut down smoking areas attached to bars and restaurants, like those in Bastion Square beside Darcy’s Pub. “(Legislation) used to say we needed a separate room for smoking, and restaurants spent thousands of dollars renovating, and then they banned that,” said Bob Parotta, president of the B.C. Restaurant Association, Victoria chapter. “We’re all looking forward to the days where no one smokes, but we can’t impose that on our guests.” On the Victoria News’ Facebook page, Dani Kong summed up the sentiment of many smokers who feel they’re being covertly outlawed for their behaviour. “Why is smoking even legal if it is so addictive, so unhealthy and so disgusting that you can’t smoke around other people,” Kong wrote. CRD directors rejected a strikingly similar clean air bylaw last May in a tight 12-11 vote. Should the bylaw be approved at an Oct. 9 board meeting, it will move forward to a public input process. dpalmer@vicnews.com

The fully customized interior of Graeme Tait’s Moonglow tribute car features white tuck and roll vinyl upholstery accented by bright blue carpeting. The car took 6,000 hours to build.
Tribute honours famous 1955 Moonglow custom In 1954, young Los Angeles commercial artist Duane Steck bought a new Chevrolet sport coupe and set out to create the perfect custom car. He had a keen eye for design and ALYN EDWARDS the car was reshaped CLASSIC in the driveway of RIDES his family home in suburban Bellflower. The results were a long, low, sleek body with a lowered roof line that received international attention. It was featured on the cover of Car Craft magazine in January 1957 and Custom Car magazine in March 1960. From the late 1950s, Steck’s custom influenced a whole genre of custom cars in Southern California and beyond. That influence continues today as Duane Steck’s “Moonglow” is generally regarded as one of the best custom cars of all time.
When first completed in late 1955, Moonglow was painted ice box white with powder blue accents complemented by a blue and white tuck and roll interior. The car would go through four rebuilds over the next few years with different looks and paint schemes. Long-time North Shore custom car enthusiast Graeme Tait was captivated by Moonglow in its later version when it was painted blue. In 1996, he bought a rust-free 1954 Chevrolet sport coupe that originated in Riverside, California and set out to build a tribute to this favourite custom car. What ensued was a 10-year-long project that took an estimated 6,000 hours to complete. The car was stripped to its bare frame so all the tribute highend version of custom touches could be fabricated and completed.
*THIS IS NOT A MISPRINT *
Just like the original Moonglow, the roof of the Chevy hardtop was lowered and almost all exterior chrome trim removed. Custom touches included 1956 Chrysler tail lights inverted and moulded in, frenched 1953 Ford headlights and dozens of other body modifications. The car was painted ‘candy’ blue and upholstered in white tuck and roll vinyl accented with bright blue carpets. True to the original Moonglow, power comes from a modified six cylinder Chevy engine coupled with a modern four speed overdrive transmission. Driving continued on B3

Pay attention to your tire pressure: low pressure can have serious results Kal Tire has teamed up with Schrader, the company that invented the tire pressure valve for bicycles in 1844, to warn Canadian motorists to regularly check tire pressure. ALYN EDWARDS Kal Tire is one of CLASSIC Canada’s largest chain RIDES of tire and auto service stores and Schrader is the world’s largest manufacturer of vehicle Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS). These systems have been mandated for all U.S. –built cars and light trucks since 2007. Seventy per cent of vehicles sold in Canada since 2007 have TPMS. Automatic tire pressure monitoring systems employ tiny battery-operated sensors mounted inside the tire rim at the base of the valve stem to send a radio signal to the vehicle computer if tire pressure is 25 per cent lower than what manufacturers specify. An instrument panel symbol warns the driver of low tire pressure, and it’s a good idea to pay attention: underinflated tires kill 660 people in the U.S. every year. According to Transport Canada, 50 per cent of Canadian motorists drive with at least one tire that is under- or over-inflated. A recent survey of vehicles showed at least one tire was underinflated by 20 per cent or more. This can cause tires to bend, flex and build up heat, creating a dangerous driving condition that can lead to poor braking, skidding, hydroplaning, blow-outs and loss of control. TPMS offers motorists a warning that, just like seatbelts and air bags, is
an important safety device that can save lives. Despite this, most motorists don’t know what it is, what it means and that it’s installed on their vehicle. They also don’t know these sensors need servicing or the sensor has a battery with an estimated life of five to seven years. This battery cannot be changed so many early sensors nearing the end of their useful life will have to be replaced. When there is a changeover to new winter or summer tires, installing a service kit is required for critical sealing of the sensor along with replacing wear components of the sensor. “Under inflation is the leading cause of tire failure and we want to make people aware that their vehicles are equipped with the TPMS safety feature. It needs to be serviced properly,” says Trevor Potter, vice president of Schrader International. “This can be done at any good automotive service centre.” If the TPMS warning light comes on, motorists should pull over, inspect tires and carefully drive to the nearest service centre. If a tire is severely damaged, the vehicle should be towed. The national TPMS awareness program from Kal Tire and Schrader includes demonstrating how low tire pressure can not only compromise vehicle safety but also negatively impact fuel economy and emissions while significantly decreasing tire life. In fact, Canadians consume 643 million litres of extra fuel because of improper tire maintenance and 29 million tires are disposed of every year. “Whenever a sensor is removed from the rim, the sealing rubber needs to be replaced and the TPMS sensors checked,” says Kal Tire’s mechanical
expert, Rene Pellerin. He says all the company’s technicians have received special TPMS training so they can recognize problems and provide the right solutions to maintain safe tire monitoring systems. “Most people don’t check their tires and this gives them peace of mind. Road salt, corrosion and high temperatures can cause the failure of aluminum tire valves and affect a vehicle’s Tire Pressure Monitoring System.” A solid yellow warning light on the vehicle instrument panel means one or more of the tires is at least 25 per cent below the recommended pressure. A flashing light warns the motorist that one or more of the TPMS sensors is not functioning correctly. When the battery fails, the entire sensor must be replaced. Sensors cost an average of $70. When new sensors are installed, the vehicle’s computer must be reprogrammed to learn the ID for new sensors. “Some people want us to disable the TPMS because they don’t want to pay the cost to maintain the system,” says Jeff Reed, who works at the Kal Tire store in Burnaby. “We refuse to do that. We put TPMS right up there with seat belts and airbags for safety.” He says the cost of properly maintaining the Tire Pressure Monitoring System can be offset by knowing that properly inflated tires can save at least $100 in fuel every year and increase tire life by up to 15,000 kilometres. “Motorists can expect to save the cost of one set of tires during the average nine-year life of their vehicle,” he says.
Trevor Potter, Vice President, Shrader International, says under-inflated tires are the leading cause of tire failure and could result in serious accidents.
Jeff Reed, of Kal Tire in Burnaby, refuses to disable a vehicle’s Tire Pressure Monitoring System because he considers it a valuable safety device, just like air bags and seat belts.
‘14 Dodge Charger Pursuit AWD delivers fastest-ever AWD lap time METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
The new Dodge Charger Pursuit AWD recorded fastest lap time during Michigan State Police’s 2014 Vehicle Evaluation Test.
Designed and engineered to be North America’s high-performance all-season police vehicle, the new 2014 Dodge Charger Pursuit AWD achieved the fastest lap time ever recorded (1:33.85) for an all-wheel-drive test sedan. The speed was set the Michigan State Police’s annual Police Vehicle Evaluation recently at Grattan Raceway in Belding, Mich. The new 2014 Dodge Charger Pursuit AWD takes the lap record-holding
rear-wheel drive model’s 370 hp Hemi V8 design and integrates the most advanced AWD system in the segment, delivering maximum all-weather traction and fuel-efficiency. With its segment-exclusive active transfer case and front-axle-disconnect system, the new Dodge Charger Pursuit’s AWD seamlessly transitions between RWD and AWD with no driver intervention. When AWD is not required, the system automatically disconnects the front axle to maximize fuel economy while still providing the outstanding
performance and handling inherent in rear-wheel-drive vehicles. Dodge Charger Pursuit AWD will be made available to law enforcement customers in the spring of 2014 through Chrysler Group’s Fleet Operations. Developed with the guidance of the brand’s Police Advisory Board, the Dodge Charger Pursuit features a mobile-command interior with unique features, including a Vehicle Systems Interface Module for easy equipment integration, heavy-duty police-duty front seats and column-mounted shifter with Auto Stick.

The highly customized 1954 Chevrolet BelAir features inverted 1956 Chrysler taillights, just like the original Moonglow from the mid 1950s.
Moonglow tribute continued from B1
and safety is enhanced with modern power steering and disc brakes plus air bag suspension. Air conditioning adds to cabin comfort. Once completed, the car was instantly recognized as one of the best Moonglow tribute cars ever built. Graeme received many trophies for shows in Canada and the United States. The latest win was in California at the Santa Maria – West Coast Custom Show, recognized as tops in the U.S. with at least a dozen big-name entries. The Moonglow tribute car was also a feature car at a summer show at Shipbuilders Square on North Vancouver’s waterfront where its owner displayed his car alongside others owned by friends he attended West Vancouver High School with half a century ago. Ironically, Graeme’s first car in his early high school years was a 1951 Chevy two-door sedan. He quickly graduated to a 1932 Ford coupe hot rod and then dozens of other special interest cars including Corvettes and Camaros.
But the Moonglow tribute car is his crowning achievement as he set out to create a custom car with the sleek custom of look of Duane Steck’s original. Sadly, the original Moonglow did not have a long life. After a series of five rebuilds and new looks over five years, Duane Steck’s famous custom was traded in on a new $2,400 1961 Austin Healey ‘bug eye’ Sprite. Steck got only $450 for his custom car. A few years later, his brother saw the car heading for the scrap yard crusher near the Los Angeles harbour. The original and very famous Moonglow would be lost forever leaving only tribute cars like the one created by Graeme Tait to keep the memories alive.

Chevrolet begins shipping 2014 Corvette Stingray Metroland Media Carguide Magazine
Chevrolet has started shipping the all-new 2014 Corvette Stingray Coupe from its plant in Bowling Green, KY. Bowling Green Assembly has produced approximately 1,000 Corvette Stingrays for customer deliveries. Most of these vehicles are expected to
SUPER SAVINGS $ 00
be delivered to dealers within the next few weeks. To expedite delivery, vehicles may be shipped out of build sequence, which is a normal part of any new vehicle launch. The Bowling Green facility underwent a $131-million upgrade to support production of the Corvette Stingray, including approximately $52 million for a new body shop to manufacture the car’s all-new aluminum frame in-house for the first time.
The lightweight aluminum frame is the foundation for the most powerful standard Corvette ever, with a SAE-certified 455 hp and 460 lb/ft of torque or 460 hp and 465 lb/ft with the available performance exhaust system. It is also the most capable standard Corvette ever, with Z51-equipped models able to sprint from 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds, run the quarter-mile in 12 seconds at 119 mph, achieve 1.03g in cornering grip and stop from 60 mph
in 107 feet. Complementing its performance capability with efficiency, the Corvette Stingray delivers the best fuel efficiency of any sports car on the market – with a fuel consumption rating of 12.2L/100km in city driving and 6.9L/100km on the highway. No other car offers more than 455 hp and a 6.9L/100km highway rating.

2014 Mazda6 earns safety institute’s ‘advanced’ rating Metroland Media WheelsTalk.com
The 2014 Mazda6 has earned an “Advanced” rating by the U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for its performance of front crash prevention systems. The Mazda6 also earned the “Top
Safety Pick+” rating – the first Mazda to earn this new, more demanding designation, by receiving a rating of “Good” on frontal moderate overlap, side, roof and head restraint tests, and “Acceptable” on the new small overlap test. IIHS introduced its new rating system based on research by the
Highway Loss Data Institute indicating that forward collision warning and automatic braking systems are helping drivers avoid front-to-rear crashes. The 2014 Mazda6 features several allnew safety systems under the umbrella known as i-ACTIVSENSE. These technologies use sensing devices such as milliwave radars
and cameras to support the driver in recognizing hazards, avoiding collisions and minimizing damage should accidents occur. While these systems will not eliminate accidents, their intent is to minimize them and reduce the severity of a crash.

Hertz is expanding its Dream Car selection with the U.S. introduction of the all-electric Tesla Model S. With the expansion, consumers in select markets are now able to rent both the Tesla Model S and Tesla Roadster, along with a variety of other high-end performance vehicles, from Ferrari to Lamborghini to Porsche and Mercedes Benz, offered in Hertz’s Dream Cars, a line of ultra-high-end performance vehicles that redefine the premium car rental experience. The 85 kWh model of the Tesla Model S, capable of 265 miles on one charge, will be available in California at San Francisco and Los Angeles airports.
The all-electric, zero-emissions car can go 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds. The Tesla Model S is the world’s first premium sedan built from the ground up as an electric vehicle. At the heart of Model S is the proven Tesla powertrain, delivering both unprecedented range and a thrilling drive experience. With a rigid body structure, nearly 50/50 weight distribution and a low centre of gravity, Model S offers the responsiveness and agility expected from the world’s best sports cars while providing the ride quality of a luxury performance sedan. Hertz Dream Cars expand the availability for consumers to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime luxury travel experience.
