Victoria police mobile app first in Canada Daniel Palmer Reporting
The Victoria Police Department is rolling out what’s believed to be the first interactive mobile police app in Canada. MobileVicPD, available on Android and Apple devices, allows users to report minor crimes and traffic incidents, access neighbourhood crime maps and receive instant emergency notifications when police need public assistance. “The use of mobile devices has skyrocketed and now dwarfs the use of personal computers,” said VicPD Deputy Chief Steve Ing, at a launch event on Wednesday at ViaTEC’s offices. The app’s creators, Silicon Valley-based mobilePD, has seen business grow ever since it launched its first app with Santa Cruz, Calif.,
police department in 2010, said vice-president Jamieson Johnson. “We’ve seen several of our customers find missing children and solve crimes,” he said. “We can’t wait to see that effect here (in Victoria).” VicPD hopes to get 5,000 downloads this month, and eventually have 15-20 per cent of the population using the app. The goal is to free up police time for minor incidents and encourage more reporting of minor crimes, said Const. Mike Russell. “If we see a certain trend, we can then focus our resources on those hotspots,” he said. The app could also be used to notify residents in case of a tsunami warning or in other emergency response situations in the future, Russell said. Download the free app by searching “MobileVicPD” in your phone’s app store. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Museum marks tragedy on high seas Daniel Palmer News staff
One of the most tragic yet unknown maritime disasters of the Second World War is being intimately displayed at the Maritime Museum of B.C. beginning this weekend. The surviving stories and artifacts from Convoy PQ-17, a botched marine supply mission in the Arctic Ocean,
recount a terrible day in July 1942 when 24 of 35 merchant ships were sunk by German U-boats and aircraft bombers. After the carnage, 153 merchant mariners were lost to the seas. “PQ-17 is not something the British like to acknowledge, because they made a mistake that resulted in a lot of destruction,” said Christopher Butterfield, a University of Victoria
associate music professor. In 2000, Butterfield teamed up with choreographer Bill Coleman, whose father was one of PQ-17’s survivors, and created a requiem for the lost men that has been performed by the Victoria Symphony and by symphonies as far away as Russia. PlEASE SEE: Tragic event, Page A12

This fall’s a good time to look for a new job
Daniel Palmer Earl Wilde, president and general manager of the Victoria Regent Waterfront Hotel and Suites, is one of three people across Canada being inducted into this year’s Tourism Industry Association of Canada’s hall of fame. The hotelier and accredited sommelier is accepting the honour alongside Oak Bay Beach Hotel co-owner Kevin Walker and Barbara Genge, owner of Tuckamore Lodge in Newfoundland. “I’m very honoured,” Wilde said, reflecting on his four decades in the hotel industry. “I only run a small hotel here but I’ve obviously been involved in the industry, both “ You can experience hotel locally, provincially the thrill of victory and and nationally for some time.” the agony of defeat in A native of Monreal, Que., one day.” Wilde’s most well– Earl Wilde known achievement in Victoria is his instrumental role in creating the destination marketing fee, a hotel tax that helps bolster tourism initiatives throughout the Capital Region. The hotel industry has changed a lot since Wilde joined the Victoria Regent in 1990, perhaps most strikingly in the subjective world of online rankings and the immediate effect of both positive and negative customer reviews, he said. “I was around when we took reservations manually,” he said. “Everything’s changed. You can experience the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat in one day.” Tourism Industry Association of Canada spokesman Rob Taylor said the hall of fame honour is an acknowledgement from peers of the work one has done in their career. “They have made an outstanding contribution to their industry in their own area and nationally,” Taylor said. “We’re very proud of them and those who are dedicated in improving our industry.” Wilde is happily settled in Greater Victoria

Job seekers in the Capital Region, especially those looking for construction jobs, may see light at the end of the tunnel this fall. A survey of employers by Manpower Canada found that a “steady hiring climate” will exist in the region for the fourth quarter of the year, with the construction industry the area of largest expected gains. Survey results showed that 17 per cent of employers plan to hire this fall, while 10 per cent are anticipating cutbacks. With seasonal adjustments, the net employment outlook – essentially the percentage of employers expecting to hire – is 13 per cent, about the same as this time last year, Manpower reported. Following a strong summer tourist season that saw record levels of traffic coming here on B.C. Ferries and through Victoria International Airport, there seems to be “a really good sense of optimism” in the business community, Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce CEO Bruce Carter said.
Bruce Carter “Those are all really positive things and we kind of layer that on top of the tech industry, which continues to do really well, and the upcoming shipbuilding contracts.” he said. “In all, things are looking good.” Greater Victoria’s unemployment rate is hovering just below six per cent, but before long the Christmas hiring season will be upon us, Carter added. Should the region see a strong holiday season, it could carry retailers through to the spring, when the tourists begin returning. Carter predicts steady hiring through next year, with a potential for competition for labour within the region. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

Weekend conference aims at inspiring women Natalie North News staff
Last spring Jennifer Lamb went to a performance at Raino Dance and was taken by the number of women her age dancing for the first time. “Usually you go to a dance performance and you see professionals or you see children. And here were all these women taking it seriously for the first time and wanting to perform for others. I was quite intrigued.” When Lamb heard Monique Salez, owner of the studio, speak that night, her enthusiasm helped spark Lamb’s drive to organize the first Ignite Women’s Conference. Salez is now one of seven featured speakers at the conference, a day-long event aimed at igniting the passion and unlocking the potential of women aged 40 to
65 in the Capital Region. Topics up for discussion include entrepreneurship, artistry and fulfilling your passion during a time Lamb considers “second adulthood,” once children are raised and out of the house. “All of these things have been on my mind because I, personally, am on that quest,” said Lamb, who spends her days working in finance. Along her quest, Lamb has discovered she is clearly not alone in her desire to get more out of middle age. “The response has been overwhelming. I’ve been quite floored by the number of women enthused about the conference and who want to present. The quality of women in this town is quite amazing. I thought I’d shine a light on women who achieved quite a high degree of success following their passions.”
In response to the interest, Lamb plans to continue monthly workshops for women to meet and share throughout the year. “When I was a kid, our parents talked about doing something sensible and doing it until you retired,” Lamb said. “When you listen to these ladies speak, you can actually feel the passion come out of them. It’s infectious.” The Ignite Women’s Conference runs from 8:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. tomorrow (Oct. 19) at the Victoria Conference Centre (720 Douglas). Tickets, $125 including lunch, are available through ignitewomensconferencesvictoria. eventbrite.ca or 250-888-5541. Ten per cent of sales will be donated to Soroptimist International of Greater Victoria. editor@vicnews.com

ROB MICKELBERRY’S JOURNEY TO THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Space is limited. Please RSVP to marco@canucksautism.ca or (604) 685-4049 ext. 211.
After nearly a year travelling on a “rock star” bus from one end of North America to another, Rob Mickelberry, his wife and three children were ready to re-establish permanent roots back home in Victoria. “We bought a property while we were on the road,” says Rob, “then lived in the old house while we sub-divided the lot and built a new home that would be ours.” Because Rob wanted the home – completed in May 2013 – “for the long haul,” he was determined it would not cost a fortune to run.
Rob Mickelberry
By calling in certified energy advisors City Green Solutions early in the design process, Rob was able to build-in a number of refinements – including an air source heat pump, triple glazing, a heat recovery ventilation system and extra insulation – that resulted in the home achieving a remarkable EnerGuide 88 rating from Natural Resources Canada. That makes it, says Mike Young of City Green, “approximately 59 per cent more energy efficient than if this home had been built to BC Building Code standards.” It will also save Rob an estimated $1,500 to $1,800 a year on his energy bills. Icing on the cake: the high EnerGuide rating also qualified Rob for $2,000 in incentives from the BC Hydro Power Smart New Home Program, and he’s eligible for the ENERGY STAR® Package incentive of $150 per home for installing qualified energy-efficient lighting and appliances.

High-tech firms shine in spotlight Local startups encouraged to blossom and thrive to put Victoria’s mark on high-tech map Arnold Lim Black Press
In a city known as much for its visitors as its visionaries, Victoria’s high-tech startups are stepping into the spotlight. At two years old, BackyardBC is one of those companies, combining co-founder Brian Friesen’s experience in Victoria’s hospitality industry with the blossoming local tech industry. Friesen’s tourism website targets what other online travel giants do not: promote tourism for British Columbians in British Columbia, and saving them money at the same time. “We found that online travel agents like Expedia and Travelocity became huge, and in their growth got too aggressive with commission,” Friesen says. “We looked at that and said, ‘let’s collect 10 per cent commission and that way there is more flexibility for pricing (for hotels).’” He says his model, which targets B.C. residents who must prove their residency with valid identification, helps BackyardBC make money by taking less from hotels, who then offer discount rates to customers. Formerly of the Hotel Grand Pacific, Friesen’s ready-built contacts and transferable skills formed the starting point, building a baseline of hotels and resorts signing on for the service. Merging those contacts with a tech-friendly silent partner

You learn so much. The fact it has been a huge challenge is the best part of it.” The obstacles building the twoman startup from the ground up have been formidable, but with two years under their belt and aggressive plans to expand across parts of Canada and the U.S., the 31-year-old entrepreneur hopes to mimic the successful growth of other Victoria startups. Wifarer, for one, has quietly grown from three employees in 2010 to 15 in a field Lise Murphy says could exceed $2 billion in revenues by 2017. “Our technology is quite groundbreaking. We were among the first to figure out how to locate a
smartphone inside (a building),” she says. “Our tech team figured out where you are by using the WiFi in the building. WiFi--based mapping is super accurate. More accurate than GPS.” The smartphone app picks up where GPS leaves off, providing indoor navigation for participating airports, museums, galleries and other destinations. Marrying mapping with location-based content, Murphy, Wifarer’s vicepresident of marketing, says the company is improving the visitor experience for facilities like airports – such as the Vancouver International Airport – where travellers can

use the app to find their gate and information about their flights, or use it to guide them through an art gallery. “It is like an audio guide on steroids,” she says. “The content delivery piece is huge. If they look at a painting they can get the curators view or the artist talking about the work – there is no end to the depth you can give. It is as much about the content as the navigation.” Wifarer launched its indoor navigation app at the Royal B.C. Museum and followed up with The Bay Centre. Last year the company opened an office in San Jose, Calif., as part of its expansion into the U.S. “It is terrific, our challenge right now is managing growth because we have so many people calling that would like to deploy our solution in their location,” Murphy says. “We are struggling to keep up with demand.” Rob Bennet, program director for the Victoria Advanced Technology Council (VIATeC), an association of more than 370 local tech companies, says the growth of Wifarer and BackyardBC is good for VIctoria. “What is really cool about Victoria is there are a number of (startups), we see five or six of those every month and it is really exciting,” Bennett says. “Victoria needs more. So much of our economic futures are tied to the success of these companies.” editor@vicnews.com

Marijuana petitioners off target at 30-day mark Pot reformers fell short of their sign-up target for the first third of their campaign to force a provincial referendum on
marijuana enforcement. Sensible BC spokesman Dana Larsen said the campaign had 65,000 signatures as of Oct. 9
– 15,000 less than their aim of 80,000 by the 30-day mark of the 90-day petition drive. “We’re a little bit behind the target we set,” Larsen said, adding getting canvassers officially registered has proven more onerous than expected. But he remains confident the campaign can succeed
in getting the signatures of 10 per cent of eligible voters in every B.C. district. That would take 300,000 signatures in total, but Larsen said the aim is for 450,000 or 15 per cent in each riding to provide a buffer against signatures that are declared invalid. The campaign aims to pass legislation that would bar police
from spending any time or resources enforcing the federal law against possessing small amounts of marijuana. Its goal is to use that as a starting point to work towards broader legalization. Defeat in any single district means the petition campaign fails. Petition locations are at sensiblebc.ca.
City’s music scene held back by lack of venues Victoria has plenty of talent but few places to play, say bands Kyle Wells Black Press
Those in the Victoria music scene see it as a place with talent, and a receptive audience, but a lack of venues is holding it back from becoming something even greater. “For the past five or six years, Victoria has had a really robust music scene,” said Stephen Franke of Blue Heron Music. “Having a good fan base here, and a big enough city to have success … has really helped create a little buzz.” Franke manages Current Swell, a local band gaining international popularity. Franke said they made a concerted effort to “grow the visibility of the band” outside of Victoria and tap into larger, more lucrative markets. James Kasper, a local musician, manager and president of Blue Water Gun Records, said the main issue holding back the Victoria music scene is a lack of venues where bands can play live. Kasper said there is a hole to be filled and the demand to support it. “There’s tons and tons of great talent that hasn’t even seen
the light of day because if you don’t have the venues, those bands don’t get to showcase themselves,” Kasper said. The landscape of the local music scene is also changing due to technology and trends. With most music sales going digital, bands and managers are finding new ways to record music, find fans and hopefully make some money in the process. The Archers, a young Victoria band making a name for itself, is trying to raise $7,000 to record its first album. The main avenue for funding is through Indiegogo, an online platform where fans can donate money for perks, ranging from a copy of the album (once it’s complete) to a personal house show. “I don’t think any of us ever

got into this with the mindset of we’re going to be millionaires. We just want to have fun and it’s nice to do it without losing any money,” drummer Liam Moes said. With online music sales surpassing hardcopy sales, promoters, managers and bands are turning to the Internet to get their name out there. “Social media obviously has taken over the majority of how bands market themselves,” said Jocelyn Greenwood of Cordova Bay Entertainment Group. “The key now is to market the band as a culture. You’re not marketing a product anymore, which is the old way of doing things.” Greenwood manages Acres of Lions, another growing Victoria band. When they started, most of the band members had day jobs but in 2012 the band played more than 130 gigs and suddenly they were all full-time musicians. Band members frequently Tweet, blog, post videos and use social media to connect with fans. The attention only starts to pay off when the fans support music the old-fashioned way. “At the end of the day those people are our customers,” said Tyson Verex, keyboardist and singer for the band. “If we can reach out to them … that’s going to help get more people out to the shows and, in turn, generate us more income.” kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Harbour airport regs closer Updated federal safety guidelines for floatplanes in Victoria’s Inner Harbour are nearly complete, according to federal Transport Minister Lisa Raitt. In a Sept. 4 letter to Mayor Dean Fortin, Raitt said the draft guidelines should be published before the end of 2013. That will allow for long-awaited public and stakeholder input on the alignment of the floatplane runway, noise pollution and other matters, said Coun. Ben Isitt. “Safety is the primary concern for me,” he said. “That whole public review process has been on hold pending the publication of the draft regulations. … It was in a state of legal limbo for the past 13 years or so.”
Crystal Pool remains public Creative partnerships to help pay for Crystal Pool won’t result in private operation of the facility. At a council meeting Oct. 10, councillors voted 6-3 on a motion put forward by Coun. Ben Isitt that explicitly states the ownership and operation of the pool and fitness centre will stay in city hands. Council is awaiting a consultant’s report, due back next spring, on financing options to refurbish or replace the 42-year-old facility. Isitt said the motion still leaves open the possibility of creating onsite retail and office rental space at Crystal.

Say you want to hire a landscaping firm to put in a new garden. After discussing the details, the landscapers promise the garden you want by a set date. You promise to pay a deposit up front and the rest when they’ve finished. That would be a contract. A contract is a legally binding agreement between competent parties that a court will enforce. So what is a “breach” of contract? That’s when one party breaks the contract – the landscaping firm plants cedar trees instead of the magnolia trees called for by the contract. What can you do if the other side breaches the contract? Most often, if the other party doesn’t do what they promised in the (hopefully written) agreement, you can get compensation (called “damages”). Occasionally, if things go really sideways, you may also be able to cancel the contract. But do you have to wait until the other side doesn’t do as promised before there’s a breach? What if, well beforehand, the other side makes it clear they have no intention of going through with their part of the bargain? If there’s no acceptable reason for that (e.g. they say they won’t do the work because it’s a bad deal for them), you may be able to treat the contract as breached. You then have the option to accept the breach or to insist that the other party perform. If you accept the breach, you should try and minimize your loss. Using our landscaping example, you’d want to try and hire a replacement outfit to do the landscaping work, for the best price then available. Alternatively, if you insist that the other party perform their side of the deal, you must be ready to perform your part of it too. In either case, you can claim

compensation for the other party’s failure to perform. In a few rare cases, where money wouldn’t adequately compensate for a breach, a court may order “specific performance,” forcing the other side to do what they promised. Your lawyer can advise you if this is available in your particular case. Specific performance is generally restricted to contracts for the sale of land and wouldn’t be available to force the landscapers to perform their contract. Sometimes the agreement itself spells out pre-agreed consequences of a breach (e.g., it could say that the innocent party can cancel the contract in certain situations and keep a reasonable deposit put up by the other side). Timing can be critical. The contract may say that a specific time for performance is essential (e.g., May 31 for completion of the garden). Without such a “time is of the essence” clause (or even with it if you casually let the set date pass without objection, and don’t fix another date as critical), you may find that a delay doesn’t count as a breach and you cannot get compensation for it. The other side could then carry out the work later than promised without penalty (unless the contract specifies a penalty). A whole lot of wrinkles and special rules come into play when there’s a contract dispute and a supposed breach of contract. If the agreement is important enough, you may want to talk to your lawyer up front for help with preparing it. Your lawyer can also help if you are facing a breach of contract situation. Be mindful there are time limits for enforcing a contract or seeking compensation – so don’t delay seeking help.

followed in 1985 by an expanded food court and in 1990 by a larger expansion that added a number of new stores and saw the food floor taken out. Many teenagers learned to drive in the vacant Mayfair parking lot on Sundays or evenings over the years. The advent of Sunday openings in 1986 cut down the time available for such educational sessions at Mayfair. In recent years Mayfair has cultivated its standing as a fashion hotbed, with such retailers as Banana Republic, Sephora, Aerie, American Eagle, The Gap and Eddie Bauer moving in. The centre is home to the lone Vancouver Island outlet for some retailers, such as Bath and Body Works, which opened recently to great excitement. Mayfair general manager Ken Hoang says the marketplace has exploded in the past 10 to 15 years in Greater Victoria. “As a consumer I see that as a fantastic thing; there’s a lot of options,” he says. “But that obviously leads to increased competing pressure. That helps push us and keeps us moving forward and drives the motivation to innovate.” Consumers are looking at shopping centres to be something that is allencompassing, Hoang says, which means it’s all about the experience. A way to enhance that, he adds, is by staging special events such as today’s anniversary celebration, which offers both a look back in time and a thank you to the community who have kept the mall thriving for 50 years. The 50th anniversary event runs from 5 to 8 p.m., with a fashion show at 7 p.m.

More than 30 years after the fact, Mayfair Shopping Centre building services technician Bruce Knight remembers well the early days of his career at the mall. He was originally hired for summer relief in 1983. The following year he was among many new full-time hires as the mall underwent a major expansion, the first of a series of improvements that happened over the following six years. As he helps Mayfair prepare to celebrate its 50th anniversary with Don Descoteau visitors and mall Biz Beat staff today (Oct. 18), Knight recalls the look of the place when he started. “It was just really small. All we had was from basically where Anne Louise (Jewellers) and Purdy’s (Chocolates) are now, down to where admin is,” he says, listing stores that are well inside the current entrances. It was even smaller in 1963, when it opened as one of the region’s first shopping centres, one in which most stores and services had outdoor entrances. The first major changes came in 1974. “There was the big trend in the 70s when everything got enclosed,” says Mayfair marketing manager Julie McCracken. Woodward’s department store, with its food floor, book department and candy counter a destination for many area families, was the anchor tenant in those days. As shopping and mall trends evolved, further changes occurred. A major expansion happened in 1984 when Consumers Distributing opened up,

OUR VIEW
Bright lights on jobs front Grim financial pictures continue to be painted around the country and stories of sluggish economic growth are still making headlines. In Greater Victoria, however, there are plenty of bright spots on the economic horizon. This summer’s robust tourism season has helped many astute merchants ease into the shoulder months with a little more comfort. Many retailers start to hire employees for the Christmas season in mid-November, but we expect some to get the early jump on the competition by bringing in staff to get trained up sooner than that. Job seekers would do well to polish up their resumés now to avoid being shut out during the Christmas rush to fill jobs. Getting a foot in the door that much sooner can only help a good employee solidify their position within a company more quickly. The summer was not only vibrant and lucrative in the tourism industry and those related to it. The region also saw its best real estate summer sales figures in five years, helped by flat year-over-year prices and continued low interest rates. More real estate sales means more people frequenting home decor and hardware stores, which in turn need to hire staff to keep up with demand. Residential and commercial construction continue to be healthy in the region and are predicted by employment expert Manpower Canada to drive much of the healthy hiring climate for the fall. Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce CEO Bruce Carter, who has his finger on the pulse of business around the region, expects steady hiring to happen into next year. Not only will the shipbuilding industry ramp up further with the upcoming federal government contracts, he says, the tech sector continues to grow in Greater Victoria. We’d like to believe that with less severe down time in our local economy, we can see more momentum built to help carry us into next year. After all, having more people working helps everyone enjoy a little better quality of life. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@vicnews.com or fax 250-386-2624.

million hectares of farmland in the region – an area about the size of Saskatchewan – have been planted with soybean and corn genetically modified to tolerate herbicides, known as “Roundup Ready” crops. Instead of tilling fields, farmers spray herbicides that kill all plants but the crop. This has wiped out much of the milkweed. With a decline of monarchs in Mexico and pervasive threats during migration, it wasn’t entirely surprising that they arrived in Canada six weeks later than normal this summer in unprecedented low numbers. While the future of the monarch looks bleak, we can all help ensure its survival. At home you can create a butterfly garden to provide habitat and food for monarchs and other pollinators. Plant milkweed and nectar-producing native flowers, like wild bergamot, New England aster and black-eyed Susans – especially ones with yellow, pink, orange and purple flowers. Adding these plants to gardens, balconies, parks and green spaces – and encouraging local schools, businesses and institutions to do the same – will help bees and butterflies stay healthy and well-fed. So, while the monarchs have already begun their journey south, I encourage you to start preparing for next year’s butterflies. Head to your local nursery and get your milkweed on. And do what you can to bring nature to your neighbourhood.

LETTERS Crosswalks a dangerous place Re: Invisibility cloaks can stay at home (Our View, Oct. 16) I recently bought some reflective tape to sew on my black winter coat because I cross Quadra Street quite often to catch the bus. Even though I always use the lighted crosswalk, I am always afraid I will not be seen due to inattention by a driver combined with the huge volume of traffic on this street. I try to make sure I have eye contact with the driver but wonder about whether the drivers in other lanes will rocket past the crosswalk. Lucille Ross Saanich
Scientist picked for their knowledge The medical health officers, university biologists and oceanographers who were given the job of monitoring the Greater Victoria sewage outfalls were selected because they would know best. The Capital Regional District plans to spend nearly $1 billion based on the notion that they know better. As both an American and British study have determined that long sewage outfalls can protect the sea better than land-based treatment, it follows that once the plant is built, the best way to protect the
environment would be to shut it down and go back to the long outfalls. A ludicrous position but precisely true. Ted Dew-Jones Saanich
Non-smokers have rights, too Re: Tougher smoking restrictions months away (News, Oct. 16) Smokers have had their own way for more than 200 years. There was never any concern about anyone’s health; smokers just lit up wherever they wished, and still do. It’s about time they were concerned about other people’s personal freedom and public health concerns besides their own. I am a nonsmoker, and guess what? I am supposed to have rights too! Paul Collins Langford
Current pot laws simply unfair Re: Marijuana referendum misguided (News, Oct. 8) Imagine the current pot smoker in B.C. He is arrested for possession and acquires a criminal record. Then, if he is a teacher or other public employee, he loses his job. You can’t work in public service with a record. If he has a mortgage, he loses his house. If he is financing a car, bye-bye car. If he goes to find a new
job, good luck. A long list of jobs require a criminal record check. If he wishes to visit American cousins to relieve his stress, he finds that he is permanently on the no-fly list, a condition that even an official pardon will not change. If our arrestee is a youth, he is put through youth court, a process that traumatizes both him and his family, something that would never have happened had he been caught with a beer. Under Sensible B.C.’s amended police act, there would be none of the above. Youth would be dealt with in the same manner as youth caught drinking alcohol. Is it enough? No. We want a legal system. But eliminating that trauma listed above is much more than a gesture, hip or otherwise. It would save millions of tax dollars, and countless personal lives from the legal shredder. And as to the “criminal distributers,” of which you disapprove, well, some of them are pot farmers, aren’t they? Maybe if we decriminalized, we could all learn to call them something like that.

Ocean radiation too big of a risk Re: Despite Fukushima, eating fish is safe (Science Matters, Oct. 11) In the last couple of weeks, marine biologists,
This week’s online poll nuclear scientists and environmentalists have issued reports about the high levels of radiation they’re finding in all sea life across the Pacific Ocean. This means my husband and I will no longer eat any fish or kelp or sea salt from the Pacific Ocean, no matter how local, sustainable, wild, organic, etc., they otherwise are. You can imagine how shocked my husband and I were reading Dr. Suzuki’s column. I never thought he would choose protecting the fishing industry over protecting people, animals and habitats and would instead promote doing something so dangerous as eating anything from the Pacific at this time. Since Fukushima, I have been waiting for our government, federal and provincial, and folks like Dr. Suzuki to address what is becoming the worst nuclear disaster in human history. People need to know if they’re eating radioactive seafood and ingesting radioactive isotopes which cause a variety of cancers. If Dr. Suzuki is willing to take his chances, that is his decision. As public policy, such a stance is negligent at best, dangerous at worst. The consequences of promoting eating radioactive seafood -- with the caveat that it’s OK as long as it is local and sustainable -- are enormous. Helene Harrison Victoria

Tragic event remembered Continued from Page A1
On Nov. 10, Victoria Symphony will revive that requiem at the Royal Theatre, while the B.C. Maritime Museum hosts a deeper look at Coleman’s choreography and the heartache behind the tragic event. “There are really intense personal experiences behind these seemingly bland historical events,” said Anissa Paulsen, director of exhibits at the museum. “This exhibit shows a very personal side of that history. Bill has always created his dances through personal stories. As a little boy, he grew up knowing
his father had experienced this, but never really understood exactly what his father had gone through.” In addition to Coleman’s story and how he and Butterfield created a commemorative dance and musical piece, the museum will also reveal the historical details that led to the botched supply mission from Iceland to Russia. “It is a little bit about a disaster that was avoidable, and it tells us a lot about the way the Germans … deployed their forces, how the British and Americans moved their convoys,” Butterfield said.
There will also be stories and artifacts from local merchant marines, like Butterfield’s father, who served in the Indian Ocean during the war. It took more than 50 years before merchant mariners were awarded full veteran status by the federal government. “One of the lousier moments in Canadian history,” Butterfield said. “We don’t like to memorialize our failures, but I think the climate might be a little different now.” For more information on the exhibit, visit mmbc.bc.ca. dpalmer@vicnews.com

How boomers affect your business W
e all know Canada’s population is aging. But how will changing demographics affect your business? First, the good news. Aging consumers have different buying habits, so that means opportunities if you’re creative. The bad news is that as baby boomers retire, many businesses will face labour shortages because not enough younger workers will be around to take their place. Either way, businesses that don’t adapt to the reality of the aging population could face severe challenges and are going to miss opportunities, says Pierre Cléroux, Chief Economist at the Business Development Bank of CanIn the next 20 years, ada. the median age The impacts are already of Canadians being felt in some sectors is expected and regions where busito rise to nesses are struggling to 45, up from find younger employees to 26 in 1991. replace retiring boomers. “If we don’t manage our labour force according to the new trends, it’s going to be difficult for busi- Twenty years ago, nearly two people entered the labour force for every person nearing retirement.

CAPTAIN HANKS - Tom Hanks tells the true pirate tale of Captain
Phillips at Odeon, SilverCity, Empire Uni 4 and Westshore. Supplied photo.
Film OPENiNG
CARRIE -(Odeon/SilverCity/Empire Uni 4/Westshore) Stephen King’s horror classic gets a remake at the hands of Kimberly Pierce (Boys Don’t Cry). Chloe Grace Moretz plays the shy high school outcast, while Julianne Moore is her religiously obsessed mom. ESCAPE PLAN -(SilverCity/ Westshore) Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger team up in a brutal actioneer about two convicts who will do anything to break out of the world’s most secure prison. FIFTH ESTATE -(Odeon/SilverCity) Benedict Cumberbatch stars as Julian Assange, the megalomaniac maestro behind WikiLeaks, in a much-anticipated drama that has been widely praised for superb performances and an even-handed look at a morally complicated topic. ★★½ LEE DANIELS’ THE BUTLER -(Caprice) Forest Whitaker heads up an amazing cast in a true story about a black butler at the White House whose long tenure there overlapped with the long struggle of the American civil rights movement. Costarring Alan Rickman, John Cusack, Lenny Kravitz, and Oprah
Winfrey. Although a bit ponderous and unimaginative, this is still a fine history lesson. ★★½ THE WORLD’S END -(Roxy, 7:00) In a disappointing but occasionally funny follow-up from the makers of Shaun of the Dead, five old friends reunite for a pub crawl only to find themselves in a droll sci-fi action-adventure of epic proportions. Starring Simon Pegg.
CONTiNUiNG
★★★★ BLUE JASMINE -(Caprice) Cate Blanchett is headed for an Oscar nomination for her role as an emotionally fragile woman struggling to recover after her life as a glamorous socialite implodes. Complete with a great cast, this is one of Woody Allen’s best films. Ever. ★★★★ CAPTAIN PHILLIPS -(Odeon/SilverCity/Empire Uni 4/ Westshore) Talented director Paul Greengrass (Bourne Supremacy) tells the true tale of a ship captain (Tom Hanks) whose boat is captured by Somali pirates. Tense but also thoughtful, this is a thriller with a brain. See review in the monthly Monday Magazine. CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS 2 -(SilverCity/
Westshore/Empire Uni 4) The wacky animated comedy about an infamous machine that churns out scary foodanimal hybrids was popular enough to merit a sequel. Consider yourself warned! With the vocal talents of Bill Hader, Anna Faris, and Will Forte. ★★½ DESPICABLE ME 2 -(Caprice) The 2010 original, about a loathsome criminal mastermind who was reformed by the love of three young orphan girls, was a goofy delight. The sequel, although still clever, is much more scattershot, with an unimaginative plot and unwelcome dashes of mean spiritedness. Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, and Russell Brand supply the voices. ★★½ ELYSIUM -(Caprice) Matt Damon and Jodie Foster star in a futuristic sci-fi thriller where the Earth has become a polluted ghetto and the lucky few get to live in luxury on a floating space station orbiting languidly above. Well, that’s about to change. It’s hard to argue with the politics, but this new film by the writer-director of District 9 is too heavy-handed and cliched to take seriously. ★★★½ ENOUGH SAID -(Odeon) The latest from delightfully quirky writer-director Nicole Holofcener

(Please Give, Friends With Money) features a divorced woman who sets her sights on a man – only to learn that he is the much-loathed ex-husband of her new gal pal. This sweet, clever, sexy, and insightful sort-of romantic comedy stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Catherine Keener and, sigh, the late James Gandolfini. ★★★½ GRAVITY -(Odeon/ SilverCity/Empire Uni 4/Westshore) Sandra Bullock and George Clooney star in a harrowing, brilliantlyexecuted thriller about two astronauts aboard a space station who survive an accident only to find themselves drifting helplessly through space, with little hope of rescue or survival. MACHETE KILLS -(SilverCity) The irrepressible Robert Rodriguez (Sin City, Grindhouse) churns out a lurid, jokily-violent sequel to his drive-instyle splatterfest about a macheteswinging dude (Danny Trejo) with a gory taste for vengeance. Co-starring Mel Gibson, Michelle Rodriguez, Lady Gaga, and Antonio Banderas. THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS: CITY OF BONES -(Caprice) Only the bones were left after the critics universally savaged this derivative, overwrought tale of a young woman who discovers that she has unusual powers as she gets drawn into a battle involving a band of angel-like creatures struggling to quash a demonic threat to the entire world. ★★★½ PRISONERS -(Westshore) Quebec director Denis Villeneuve (Incendies) has been getting great praise for this bleak and violent police procedural about two kidnapped girls and the dad who will do anything to get them back. The superb cast includes Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Viola Davis, Terrence Howard, and Melissa Leo. THE RIGHT KIND OF WRONG -(Odeon/SilverCity/Westshore) In this romantic comedy a dishwasher falls in love with a bride on the day of her wedding. Too bad she’s marrying
another dude. ★★½ ROMEO & JULIET -(SilverCity) Shakespeare’s immortal romantic tragedy returns to the silver screen in lush period detail, this time in an adaptation by novelist Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey). Despite its authentic setting, this is a mostly dull affair, marred especially by the lack of romantic chemistry between the two leads. RUNNER RUNNER -(Westshore) A smart college student with a knack for gambling (Justin Timberlake) hooks up with a sinister offshore entrepreneur (Ben Affleck) who runs an online poker empire from a corrupt Caribbean island. This has become one of the worst-reviewed movies of the year. ★★★★ RUSH -(Odeon/SilverCity) Gifted mainstream director Ron Howard (Apollo 13) delivers highoctane thrills and lots of human drama as he tackles this biopic about the legendary 1970s rivalry between Formula 1 race car drivers James Hunt and Niki Lauda. TURBO -(Caprice) The latest from Dreamworks Animation is a family comedy about an ordinary garden snail who acquires magic powers – and the chance to achieve his dream of winning the Indy 500. With the voices of Ryan Reynolds, Paul Giamatti, Maya Rudolph, and Samuel L. Jackson. ★★★★ WATERMARK -(Odeon) The newest collaboration between documentary filmmaker Jennifer Baichwal and renowned photographer Edward Burtynsky (Manufactured Landscapes) is a profound and engaging meditation on our complex relationship with water – and especially how our use of technology is affecting the world’s water supplies. ★★½ WE’RE THE MILLERS -(Caprice) Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston star in a crass comedy about a long-time pot dealer who hires a stripper and two feral
mon daym a

teens to pretend to be his middle class family as cover for when he smuggles a massive load of weed across the border from Mexico to the States. Intermittently quite funny, this is a case of talented performers struggling with a second-rate script. ★★★ WOLVERINE -(Roxy, 8:55) Hairy-faced and Adamantium-clawed Hugh Jackman travels to Japan to confront the diabolical Silver Samurai, in an entertaining Marvel Comics smackdown that combines X-men flair with martial arts and yakuza elements.
SCREENiNGS
MOVIE MONDAY - is screening Mars Project, a unique look at the challenges of schizophrenia. This film features the strange journey of Canadian rap icon Khari “Conspiracy” Stewart, whose musical output is a dark catalogue of his experiences with the demons in his mind and his struggles with the Canadian medical system (whose drug-based treatments he long-since rejected in favour of his own spiritual approach to dealing with his illness). 6:30 pm Monday in the 1900-block Fort.

Non-profit help seniors find their way
■ ELODIE ADAMS, SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
In these days of modern technology, it can be a daunting task for seniors to find specific services that fit their needs. Luckily, in the Greater Victoria region, there is a directory that will help them and their families in the quest for information. The Seniors’ Services Directory is a community resource handbook for the Capital Region providing detailed information on all the services seniors need as they face the challenges of aging, from home help to support groups, from care planning to financial assistance, housing, meals, and the list goes on. “We are the go-to in terms of

information,” explained Jane Sheaff, executive director of Seniors Serving Seniors, the organization that produces the bi-annual directory. “Seniors, if they go to the Monterey Centre or any of the other seniors’ centres for example, can get some help but we have so much background and information on the services around, and the experience through hearing people’s stories.” When the time comes to begin looking, it is a great place to start, as the businesses listed in the directory have all been chosen by a committee according to specific factors. “We’re not a recommendation service,”

clarified Sheaff. “It is an information directory to let seniors and their families know that these services are available and that they meet the criteria. They do have to have certain qualifications to be in the directory.” Although some seniors have found their way onto computers and are able to use the internet, many are not computer-literate, and the telephone is still a familiar friend – that is until

Victoria Senior
Where’s the value in longevity? A recent issue of National Geographic magazine carried a picture of a baby on its cover with the headline: “This Baby Will Live To ■ BRIAN KIERAN COLUMNIST Be 120.” That would be another 50 long, creaking, jointstiffened years for this senior. It surely reminds me of the well-worn adage: “If I knew I was going to live so long, I would have taken better care of myself.” I am heartened that most Canadian seniors don’t see much value in extreme longevity. Our peers think it is fundamentally unnatural and would not lead to a more productive nation. In the USA, however, the notion that medical science may let people live to 120 has more appeal.
USA-based Pew Research surveyed 2,000 American adults recently and discovered that more than two-thirds would like to live up to 100. That’s the magic of ObamaCare. They were optimistic that some scientific breakthroughs will occur in the next few decades. Seventy per cent think that by the year 2050 there will be a cure for most forms of cancer and that artificial arms and legs will perform better than natural ones. At present there is no method of slowing the aging process and extending average life expectancies to 120 years or more. But research aimed at unlocking the secrets of aging is under way at universities and in corporate labs. The Pew Research Centre’s Religion and Public Life Project reports that religious
leaders, bioethicists and philosophers have begun to debate about the morality of radical life extension. In Canada, 1,800 seniors polled by the Canadian Association of Retired Persons (CARP) say they’d like to live to age 94 on average but expect to live to about 88. Less than 10 per cent of Canadians think living to 120 is a good thing. For Canadians the single most common concern about living to 120 is that these extra years be healthy ones. Susan Eng, Vice President of Advocacy for CARP says: “Science holds out the promise of extreme longevity, but (Canadian seniors) have a more level headed reaction. They worry about staying healthy and the societal effects. They expect to live longer than their American counterparts – perhaps due to our universal health coverage – but are half as likely to undertake life extension treatments. If they had more years, they’d do the same as they do now. “Canadian seniors, for the most part, are happy with their lives and don’t wish to extend them beyond a natural span. The American public, on the other hand, is always attracted to bright shiny things and the promise of immortality is one of the brightest and shiniest of these." ●

seniors can be simply trying to give or get information over the phone. With close to 80 volunteers trained to provide information over the phone, Seniors Serving Seniors promises a one-on-one telephone interaction, and to return calls within a reasonable timelimit if messages are left on its answering machine. Greater Victoria residents don’t have far to look to find the help they need right in their own community. There are fee for service organizations, such as the recently-opened Oak Bay Community Senior Care (OBCSC), offering a wide variety of in-home support services on a fee-for-service basis and non-profits such as Silver Threads Service. Since Silver Threads opened its doors in 1956, their services, programs and community partnerships have evolved to meet the changing needs of a growing population of seniors. Silver Threads operates two senior activity centres, one in Greater Victoria downtown Victoria at 1728 residents don’t have Douglas St. and one in Saanich far to look to find at the Les Passmore Centre at 286 Hampton Rd. Its programs the help they need and services address the social, right in their own health, activity, intellectual and community. information needs of seniors and provide essential social connections. Since 1971, the non-profit Monterey Centre in Oak Bay has been providing seniors with lifelong learning opportunities through the multitude of courses available to members and non-members. It also provides an affordable hot lunch every day, something that seniors often wouldn’t bother with if they stayed at home. With more than 2,000 members, coordinator Lesley Cobus says she feels the Monterey Centre makes a difference in peoples’ lives. “There are so many things for them to do here,” Cobus said, “and it helps seniors remain active socially.” ●

Bulldogs ready for a fight Travis Paterson News staff
It’s a good time to be bullish as the Belmont Bulldogs are hitting their stride at the right time of the season, coming off a 22-13 road win over the Notre Dame Jugglers (0-3) on Friday (Oct. 11). The Bulldogs (2-1) host the Vancouver College Fighting Irish (2-2) at Goudy Turf today (Oct. 18), 3:30 p.m. It’s the second game of a AAA B.C. High School Football league double header, as the Mount Douglas Rams (3-0) host the Handsworth Royals (2-0) in the earlier game at 1 p.m. Bulldogs coach Kevin Harrington knows the Fighting Irish are going to be a much stronger opponent than winless Notre Dame.

But hey, we played well and won anyways,” Harrington said. Tight end Edgar Nelson caught two TD receptions from quarterback
Sam Holland. Sam Varao rushed for a TD and 86 yards total, with Jordan Worth tacking on 100 yards rushed. Kicker Hugo Lewis converted two TDs and Worth ran in a two-point conversion.
Brady Lockwood made an interception in the first half and Jamie Pacheco, a D lineman, made another one to shut down Notre Dame’s final drive. The Bulldogs will be too busy preparing to
watch the Rams vs. Royals, which is ironic as they’re the Bulldogs remaining two opponents. The Bulldogs play Handsworth on Oct. 25 and are at home to the Rams, Nov. 1 at Westhills Stadium. The Rams continued its strong season as the No. 1-ranked team in B.C. defeated the top AA school South Delta 55-20 in exhibition play on Saturday. Marcus Davis, quite possibly the premier Canadian recruit this year, was nearly untouchable. In 11 touches, Davis scored on runs of 66, 15 and 24 yards, caught TD passes of 38 and 40 yards from QB Ashton MacKinnon, intercepted a South Delta pass and returned it 48 yards for a TD, and returned a kickoff 70 yards for a TD. Seven touchdowns. Julian Luis scored the other Rams touchdown. sports@vicnews.com

Island Indoor tourney draws talented field Travis Paterson News staff
Former world No.1-ranked junior tennis player Filip Peliwo is in Victoria this weekend for the South Island Indoor Challenge men’s tournament at Cedar Hill Recreation Centre. Peliwo’s presence is the latest evidence of the cash tournament’s growing field of elites as the most prestigious tournament on the Victoria tennis calendar. The total prize purse is $15,000 with $5,000 for the winner, $3,500 for second, and $2,000 for third. The top prize of $5,000 is actually less than last year, as organizers were uncomfortable with the final going to a tiebreaker, in which a $4,500 point was played. Instead, the money has been spread more evenly, as per players wishes. “This is by far our best lineup ever. To see this level of pro tennis in Victoria is unbelievable. In just four years we have made the Indoor Challenge the premier indoor tennis event in Canada,” Indoor Challenge co-director Dean Gills said. The tournament kicked off with Peliwo, of Vancouver, taking on hometown qualifier Patrick Flint on Thursday. Results were past press time. Last year Peliwo was top junior ITP player with wins at Wimbledon and the US Open, while making the finals of the Australian and French opens. He was the first junior to reach all four Grand Slam event finals since Sweden’s Stefan Edberg in 1983. Spectators hoping to see Peliwo this weekend better get there early said co-director John Miller. “Last year we had standing room only crowd for the finals. This year, with Peliwo and several other quality players here, we expect to sell out every day. Peliwo’s achievement last year was one of the greatest achievements in Canadian tennis history.” Flint vs. Peliwo was one of four matches Thursday, as African Davis Cup member Rik De Voest played Daniel Chu (Vancouver). Former ATP doubles specialist Brian Battistone is also here with his two-handled racquet, The Natural. The round robin format tournament continues today at 5 p.m. and throughout Saturday, with the final scheduled for 1 p.m. on Sunday. Weekend passes for the tournament are $20 for adults and $10 for youth (under 18) and are available at Courtside Sports and Cedar Hill Recreation Centre.

With the growth of American rugby and that country’s depth of quality athletes, it’s inevitable, really, that the U.S. will overtake Canada in rugby someday. It was a surprise on Tuesday, however, when the Americans pulled off their first win in the Americas Rugby Championship since 2010, beating Canada 30-10 in front of nearly 2,500 fans at Westhills Stadium. After all, Canada is coming off a twogame sweep of the U.S. in the Rugby World Cup qualifiers in August. The U.S. Eagles select XV weren’t particularly dominant as the Canada ‘A’ squad struggled with ball handling and were seldom able to mount an attack beyond two or three phases. The Canadians (1-1) now face Argentina (2-0) in "the final match of the ARC on Saturday, 8 p.m. at Westhills Stadium. Argentina won the early game on Tuesday, 34-10 over Uruguay.
Canada had opened the tournament with a 17-10 of Uruguay (0-2). The latter will face U.S.A. (1-1) at 6 p.m. on Saturday. Canada has yet to beat Argentina in the ARC, as the South American program has become a powerhouse challenging the world’s top rugby nations.
“I’d trust (fly half Giuseppe Du Toit) any day to make a kick.” – Adam Kleeberger
“There’s some things to work on but I still have confidence in our team, we have to have a short memory for Saturday,” Canadian captain Adam Kleeberger said. The 2011 Rugby World Cup veteran wore No. 8 and was also promising at times. But nothing could go right long enough for Canada to sustain an attack. The U.S. simply made less mistakes and grew more confident as the game wore on, while creeping ahead on the solid kicking of fullback Joe Cowley, who hit three penalties, two of them from (approximately) 45 yards, while converting all three U.S. tries. “It sucks that we didn’t get
those lucky breaks that can change the game, but that's the way it goes,” said Canadian winger Jordan Wilson-Ross. At the centre of Canada’s attack was 18-year-old fly half Giuseppe Du Toit (Maple Ridge). A Shawnigan Lake grad in June, Du Toit leapfrogged Canada's under-20 program, which competed at the Junior World Rugby Trophy, and went from the U18 B.C. rugby team this past summer to the UVic Vikes in September and now the ARC. Clearly coach Kieran Crowley has a lot of faith in Du Toit, as do the team. “Going to the Vikes was a step up, and now it’s another step up, but that’s how it is in rugby, you’ve got to rise to the occasion,” Du Toit said. Canada’s attack was far from crisp and it shouldn’t fall on the shoulders of the young rookie, said Kleeberger. “Full credit to Giuseppe for trusting himself, I’d trust him again any day to make a kick,” Kleeberger said. “There’s always going to be that pressure (on Du Toit), he’s a mature player, he showed it in practice all week and positioned himself well today in the game.” sports@vicnews.com

Royal Roads instructor enters Canadian Sports Hall of Fame Olympic rower Jennifer Walinga joins elite list of Canadian athletes Charla Huber News staff
Tears filled Jennifer Walinga’s eyes as she held her gift of a gold medal. Moments earlier standing at the Esquimalt Lagoon, Walinga beamed with excitement recapping her life as a rower for Team Canada. “For two years we were indomitable, it was a stronger-than-thesum-of-parts type of thing. It was magical,” said the director of the School of Communications and Culture at Royal Roads University. “As individuals we weren’t that strong, but together as a combination we were unstoppable.” Today (Oct. 16) at a ceremony in Toronto, Walinga and teammates on Canada’s 1992 women’s coxless four crew will be inducted into the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame. This year’s list of inductees is impressive, including among others, NHL and Olympic champion Joe Sakic and one-time UVic student Alison Sydor, who won the world mountain biking championship and an Olympic silver medal. Walinga is originally from Peter-
borough, Ont., and now lives in Cadboro Bay. She was a longtime St. Michaels University School rowing coach, has three teenagers, and is a graduate of the University of Victoria. She met her crew of Kirsten Barnes, Brenda Taylor and Jessica Monroe-Gonin in the national program in 1988. By 1990 they were rowing together, with Walinga in the stroke position for both the coxless fours and eights teams. “I sat at the stern and set the pace and the rhythm for the team,” she said. In 1991 Walinga’s teams won both events at the World Rowing Championships in Vienna, where they set a world record that would remain unbroken for the next 20 years. “I can’t remember the time, but it was bloody fast,” she said with a laugh. During the world championships Walinga pushed through back troubles to compete, causing permanent injury. “I raced when I shouldn’t have, I didn’t understand how much damage I could do.” Spare rower Kay Worthington replaced her at the Olympics and Walinga watched from the sidelines as her team dominated and won both events again. “I knew they were going to be fine. I was worried I would let them down,” she said. “I did worry I would be jealous if they

Jennifer Walinga shows off a gold medal won by the 1992 Olympics women’s eights rowing team. She was a stalwart on the team but was injured during the Olympics that year. She is being inducted into the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame today. won, but I wasn’t.” A month after the Games, the athletes were reunited at a wedding. “Brenda (Taylor) came to me and said ‘I got something for you.’ I thought it was shampoo I left in the room or something like a shirt,” recalled Walinga. Instead, her teammate handed her one of the two gold medals
she had been awarded. Walinga declined, but Taylor wouldn’t take no for an answer and insisted Walinga earned it. “At the Olympics for curling or basketball, everyone on the team gets a medal, but not for rowing. Only the people in the boat get one,” Walinga said, wiping tears from her eyes. The rest of the 2013 Hall of
Fame inductees are Olympic and world champion curler Russ Howard, Quebec’s high performance training pioneer Jean-Guy Ouellet, Paralympian wheelchair athlete André Viger, the 1992 Women’s Olympic gold medal rowing team and Canadian hockey visionary Murray Costello. – with files from Travis Paterson sports@vicnews.com

Flu shots given to people at high-risk of complications from influenza
Manage stress naturally improve energy, sleep Better, Reduce Cravings By Karen Jensen, ND Our ability to adapt to stress depends upon optimal function of the adrenal glands. When excess or chronic stress overloads our adrenal glands - symptoms and disease can occur. Some of the common earlier symptoms of adrenal stress include: fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, depression, low back pain, asthma, allergies, blood sugar problems, hormonal imbalances, irritability, headaches, sugar cravings, gastrointestinal symptoms and inflammatory conditions.
The ‘roots’ of the original AdrenaSense Formula Throughout my life I had good health and boundless energy and then suddenly in my early 30’s I hit the wall with fatigue… I had three children under the age of 3, my marriage broke up, and I went back to work thinking I could ‘do it all’. My body did not agree… nothing helped the crippling fatigue until I saw a naturopathic doctor who introduced me to my adrenal glands. Forty years later I still take adrenal support during times of added stress. When I started naturopathic practice in the 1980’s it was my own experience with adrenal fatigue that allowed me to recognize it in my patients and over the years I saw the need for an effective adrenal supplement to help people with the stressors and demands of daily living. There is much more awareness about adrenal fatigue today and also other adrenal fatigue formulas on the market. AdrenaSense® is the original solution I formulated for patients and others who have found it very effective.

The herbs in the AdrenaSense formula are called adaptogens that have been proven to support stress reactions and normalize adrenal function. These include Rhodiola, Suma, Schizandra Berries, Siberian Ginseng and Ashwagandha, which in combination, enhance mental and physical performance; balance the nervous system helping with anxiety and insomnia; support the immune, cardiovascular and hormonal systems; counteract fatigue, anxiety and depression; provide vital energy and act as a ‘general tonic’ to support the effects of stress and fatigue.
Public health clinics, pharmacies and doctors across Vancouver Island will be providing free flu shots to people at high-risk of complications from influenza and their close contacts as well as other vulnerable groups. Public Health clinics open starting the week of Oct. 28. Check with your local public health unit for details or online at viha.ca/flu. “People who are at high-risk can suffer severe complications or even death from influenza,” said Dr. Dee Hoyano, medical health officer for the Vancouver Island Health Authority. “The most common complication, particularly for elderly people, is pneumonia, an infection of the lungs. Influenza can also lead to other complications for people who have heart, lung or other health conditions.” Also new this year is the availability of a nasal spray influenza vaccine free for eligible children aged 2 to 17. It is the preferred vaccine for children 2 to 8 years of age because it provides better protection in young children than the inactivated influenza vaccine given by injection. It also offers the advantage of being needle-free. Free flu shots are provided to the following groups: n People 65 and older and their caregivers. n Children and adults with chronic health conditions, their household and close contacts. n Health-care workers. n Emergency responders. n Healthy children from six months of age to less than five years old. n Household contacts and caregivers of children from birth to less than 5 years of age. n Pregnant women at any stage of pregnancy. n Residents of nursing homes and other chronic care facilities. n Owners and operators of poultry farms. n Aboriginal peoples. n People who are very obese (those with a body mass index of 40 or greater). n Corrections officers and inmates in provincial correctional institutions. n Those who provide care or service in potential outbreak settings housing high-risk persons (e.g. crew on ships). Bring your Care Card or other government I.D. to the clinic. Eligible individuals may also get their free vaccine from their doctor or pharmacy. Even if you are a healthy adult, if you have regular contact with anyone in these high-risk groups, you can help protect them by getting immunized. Influenza is easily transmitted from person to person, even before you show symptoms. Those not eligible for the free vaccine can be vaccinated by your family physician or pharmacist for a nominal cost. For more information about the vaccine, please go online to immunizebc.ca or call HealthLink B.C. at 8-1-1. editor@vicnews.com

BC Vintage Truck Museum volunteer Harold Wellenbrink with the 1929 White tractor that once hauled fuel for Shell Oil before being purchased by trucking company owner Bob King in 1939.
Trucks on display in the B.C. Vintage Truck Museum include: • 1914 Four Wheel Drive, built in Ohio which originally saw service in the First World War in England and was brought to Canada by the BC Electric Company to haul coal and plow street car tracks in Vancouver • 1924 Federal donated to the museum by a 101-year-old man who had saved it from being junked • 1929 White tractor that hauled fuel for Shell Oil before being purchased by Bob King in 1939 • 1932 International A4 tractor that saw service hauling steel to Vancouver-area shipyards during the Second World War
A 1946 Maple Leaf tractor manufactured by General Motors. This truck was purchased new at Vancouver’s Collier Motors by Bob King and never put to work.
Hats off to the City of Surrey and the community of Cloverdale along with dedicated volunteers for preserving the most significant collection ALYN EDWARDS of historical trucks CLASSIC in British Columbia. RIDES The heavy haulers dating back to 1914 were close to being homeless when the Joint Council of Teamsters Union could no longer afford to house them. For more than a dozen years, the Teamsters funded a transportation museum. When that facility was closed, the City of Surrey stepped up and took over the collection of approximately 20 trucks. After a full year of preparation, the B.C. Vintage Truck Museum, overseen by the Surrey Heritage Society, is now open to the public, Saturdays only from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. It’s located at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds and is run entirely by volunteers. The museum is filled with
memorabilia telling the story of how drivers of these early trucks carried freight throughout British Columbia on roads that would not be considered passable today. Trucks named Federal, Indiana and FWD that haven’t been manufactured for decades are lined up in the museum building. Many of the trucks were lovingly restored by retired Teamsters and other enthusiasts. Restoration of other trucks in the collection are being carried on by volunteers like Cloverdale’s Harold Wellenbrink. “This is the early history of trucking with everything here older than the 1950s,” he says. “I’m a Cloverdale booster and this is good for our community to preserve these trucks.” Many of these trucks were originally acquired by the provincial government 37 years ago after warehouses owned by Vancouver trucking magnate Aubrey ‘Bob’ King were opened up to reveal dozens of dust-covered trucks that had been stored for years. One of the trucks, a 1946 General Motors Maple Leaf Continued on Pg. B2
• 1935 Dodge Airflow – the only one sold in Canada of the 267 built. It was used by Standard Oil to deliver fuel to Chevron gas stations into the 1940s when it was acquired by Bob King • 1937 Indiana purchased new by the late Andy Craig who operated Inland Motor Freight hauling between Vancouver and Penticton. He produced the book, History of Trucking in BC Since 1900. • 1942 International Cab Over Engine three ton army truck, used locally by the Canadian military during the Second World War and purchased by Bob King in 1946 • 1943 Maple Leaf tractor economically built during the Second World War with no chrome work, a wooden steering wheel, canvas covered seat and only one windshield wiper • 1946 Maple Leaf tractor purchased by Bob King from Collier Motors on Georgia Street and put away new in his warehouse where it remained until being acquired by the provincial government • 1946 Fargo tractor that hauled freight between Vancouver and Seattle for Sea-Van Freight until 1953

Skiers use Ferrari wind tunnel to measure team aerodynamics Metroland Media Carguide Magazine
The study of aerodynamics isn’t just used to find solutions to improve the performance of a Formula 1 car but also to help go quicker on snow. This is not to do with the the FF, the first Ferrari with fourwheel-drive, but the skiers from Italy’s World Cup team, who have been spending time at Maranello for a series of tests in the Ferrari wind tunnel. This is part of a collaboration agreement between the Maranello company and the Italian Winter Sports Federation
(FISI) and under the auspices of the Italian National Olympic Committee (CONI). Men and women from the team led by Claudio Ravetto underwent a series of individual tests at speeds ranging from 90 to 110 km/h, aimed both at optimizing the skier’s position and to check the efficiency of the materials used for everything from the gloves to the ski poles and other components. After so much wind in their faces, the group of skiers had the chance to sample the thrill of speed on board a 458 Italia on the Fiorano track – a nice way to finish a hard day’s work.

Ford marks 100th anniversary of moving assembly line Metroland Media Carguide Magazine
Oct. 7 marked the 100th anniversary of the moving assembly line invented by Ford Motor Company. Today the company is building on its legacy of innovation by expanding advanced manufacturing capabilities and introducing groundbreaking technologies that could revolutionize mass production for decades to come. Ford is rapidly expanding its advanced manufacturing capabilities and boosting global production to meet surging consumer demand. By 2017, Ford will increase its global flexible manufacturing to produce on average four different models at each plant around the world to allow for greater adaptability based on varying customer demand.
Ford also projects 90 per cent of its plants around the world will be running on a three-shift or crew model by 2017, which will help increase production time more than 30 per cent. “One hundred years ago, my greatgrandfather had a vision to build safe and efficient transportation for everyone,” said Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford. “I am proud he was able to bring the freedom of mobility to millions by making cars affordable to families and that his vision of serving people still drives everything we do today.” Also in 2017, virtually all Ford vehicles will be built off nine core platforms, boosting manufacturing efficiency, while giving customers the features, fuel efficiency and technology they want anywhere in the world.
Oct. 7 marked the 100th anniversary of the start of the moving assembly line of the Ford Motor Company.

Crafting comfortable car seats takes more than high-tech tools like seat pressure mapping systems and a multi-part mannequin that feeds data into a comfort dimensioning system. As helpful as they are, there is no substitute for an element of human fine-tuning, or putting butts in seats. General Motors’ human factors engineers who understand biomechanics, psychology, quantitative research and ergonomics, applied all these disciplines to help make the seats comfortable in the made-in-Canada 2014 Chevrolet Impala.

and side bolsters. But tester feedback is subjective and design changes are often subtle because seat designs evolve from past programs and reams of data collected with precision instruments. Seat tester evaluations alone would have been insufficient to achieve such results. That’s where tools like Oscar come in hand. The mannequin-like tool made of steel, plastic and aluminum is assembled in 18 removable parts weighing up to 170 pounds. Early in the Impala’s development, Oscar helped determine the overall dimensional layout of the interior, allowing engineers to make the best use of space. State-of-the-art digital pressure-mapping technology was used to scan the rear-end impressions of people of all shapes and sizes over the seat surface, creating a map with more than 4,600 data points. A laptop computer used the data to generate graphics illustrating how occupants sit in the seat statically or while driving. The Impala’s front seats are heated and ventilated, and bolstered for greater support. The seat cushions are designed to provide a firm, premium feel. LS models feature cloth seats, while LT comes standard with cloth/vinyl seats.

Future models MINI will roll out a number of innovative driver assist systems that also use intelligent networking for the exchange of information between driver and vehicle. The new functions transform the MINI more than ever into its driver’s assistant and offer innovative comfort and safety technology. As early as 2007, interface technology for integrating the Apple iPhone in the MINI operating system was introduced. Since 2011, additional onlinebased functions can be integrated in the MINI Connected package with the help of apps. The MINI head-up display helps the driver concentrate on what is happening on the road by displaying relevant information right in the driver’s line of vision. This can be seen quickly and conveniently without having to take your eyes off the road. The collision warning and pedestrian warning systems, including city braking function make it easier to avoid dangerous
situations, particularly in city traffic. The MINI parking assist feature offers maximum comfort in searching for and using parking spaces, while the reversing camera gives drivers a better view when manoeuvring. Other innovations in the driver assist systems for MINI include the video-based speed and distance control which automatically keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front, and the speed limit information system, which detects and displays speed limits as they apply to the current section of road. This system is supplemented by the no passing display and traffic sign memory functions. The digital headlight assist function contributes to optimum visual conditions when driving at night. This system helps the driver use the full range of headlight functions. A camera registers oncoming traffic and preceding vehicles, while automatic switching to dimmed headlights avoids causing a nuisance for other drivers.

Hyundai joins forces with ARK Performance to create Legato Concept Genesis Coupe Metroland Media Carguide Magazine
ARK Performance, a core Hyundai SEMA partner in recent years, has developed a new Legato Concept based on the Genesis Coupe that promises to add to its successful SEMA legacy. The performance luxury coupe concept will be showcased at the 2013 SEMA show in Las Vegas, Nov. 5 to 8. “Legato” is an Italian musical term meaning “tied together,” conveying the seamless integration of exotic design, tuned performance and luxury coupe interior ambience. From the exterior, the Legato Concept takes the design themes of the production Genesis Coupe and expands them to concept car levels, while retaining the integrity of the original design. The complete ARK Legato body treatment includes front and rear bumpers, side skirts, deck lid and wide-body cues, for a truly unique and integrated exotic performance look. A racing silver exterior colour maximizes the surface visibility of the concept’s nuanced design. While the Legato exterior sends a powerful exotic car message, the performance tuning under the hood and wheel arches more than backs it up. The production-based Hyundai 3.8-litre Lambda V6 engine is stroked to 4.0-litres for 400 hp and 425 lb/ft of stoplight-launching torque. With the Legato concept at speed, an ARK DT-P coil-over suspension system coupled with lightweight Rays Engineering G25 wheels and Nitto NT05 tires ensure outstanding dynamic grip, while ARK carbon brake pads add fade
Hyundai and ARK Performance will debut the Legato Concept at the SEMA show in November.
resistance and stopping power. The Legato interior is a complete luxury performance concept that includes Takata Drift Pro LE seats, AiM Sports Strada GT steering wheel, and
digital gauge cluster. A Rockford Fosgate premium sound system provides backup entertainment whenever the exhaust note is at less than full song.

Chrysler Group releases sketches of Mopar-modified vehicles headed for SEMA Metroland Media Carguide Magazine
Chrysler has released sketches of select Mopar-modified vehicles that are headed for the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas. The show takes place Nov. 5 to 8 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The company will display 20 Moparmodified Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat and SRT vehicles at the show in a 15,300 square-foot exhibit. In addition to custom vehicles, the company will highlight Jeep Performance Parts developed by its newly created Mopar Off-Road Division.
Mopar (a simple contraction of the words Motor and PARts) was trademarked for antifreeze product in 1937. The Mopar brand made its mark in the 1960s – the muscle-car era. The former Chrysler Corporation built race-ready Dodge and Plymouth “package cars” equipped with special high-performance parts. Mopar carried a line of “special parts” for super-stock drag racers and developed its racing parts division called Mopar Performance Parts to enhance speed and handling for both road and racing use. The brand has expanded to include technical service and customer support.
A total of 20 Mopar-modified Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat and SRT vehicles headed for premier aftermarket show Nov. 5 to 8 in Las Vegas.
Ford installs 500,000th 6.7-L Power Stroke V8 turbocharged diesel engine Metroland Media Carguide Magazine
6.7-litre Power Stroke V8 turbo diesel engine.
Ford had announced the installation of its 500,000th 6.7-litre Power Stroke V8 turbocharged diesel engine, which went into a new 2014 Ford Super Duty F-350 Lariat pickup truck. The engine was installed recently at Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville. The 6.7-litre Power Stroke V8 diesel
engine delivers 400 hp at 2,800 rpm and 800 lb/ft of torque at 1,600 rpm, along with class-leading fuel economy while adding more fueling flexibility and easily meeting stringent emissions requirements. The 6.7-litre diesel shares Super Duty’s legendary reliability and durability while enabling up to 24,700 lb towing capability for F-450 pickup and up to 26,600 lb for F-550 chassis cab.
Ford is the only heavy-duty pickup truck manufacturer that designs and builds its own diesel engine and transmission combination, ensuring the powertrain will work seamlessly with all chassis components and vehicle calibrations, from concept to driveway. This approach enables Ford engineers to optimize the vehicle’s performance across the entire lineup.

2014 Chevrolet Malibu offers hands-free texting
Mitsubishi unveils three world premieres at Tokyo Metroland Media Carguide Magazine
Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) will unveil three world premiere concept cars next month at the 43rd Tokyo Motor Show 2013. Incorporating a new design identity that symbolizes the sense of security and functionality of an SUV, the three models highlight @ earth TECHNOLOGY, MMC’s nextgeneration advanced technologies that embody the concepts of environmental responsibility, driving pleasure, and toughness and safety. The first of the three concepts, the Mitsubishi Concept GC-PHEV is a next-generation full-size SUV that uses a high output PHEV (plug-in
hybrid electric vehicle) system. The Mitsubishi Concept GC-PHEV offers both dynamic drivability of an SUV and class-leading environmental performance. MMC’s S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control) integrated vehicle dynamic control system delivers superior handling, stability as well as the all-terrain capability an SUV offers. The Mitsubishi Concept GCPHEV is a “connected car” that also offers next-generation preventive safety technology and driver support technology through wireless connectivity. The Mitsubishi Concept XRPHEV is a next-generation compact SUV loaded with a lightweight and highly efficient PHEV system with
dramatically enhanced environmental performance. The Concept XR-PHEV offers nimble drivability and a body style resembling a sport coupe. The Mitsubishi Concept AR is a next-generation compact MPV (multipurpose vehicle) that offers both the mobility of an SUV and the occupant space of an MPV. The latest fuel efficiency technologies adopted in the Concept AR include the use of a downsized direct-injection turbocharged engine. The Concept AR provides a relaxing space for occupants through its enveloping interior design and a range of seat arrangements that provide comfort for all passengers.
New technologies help the 2014 Chevrolet Malibu deliver greater efficiency and connectivity, two of the most important considerations for customers of midsize sedans. The available Chevrolet MyLink for the 2014 Malibu delivers enhanced connectivity and convenience, with the new Text-to-Voice feature for smartphone users and Siri for iPhone users. Each enables voice-controlled connectivity. Text-to-Voice converts incoming messages to speech, reads them over the audio system speakers and allows the driver to reply with preset messages such as, “I’m driving and will contact you later.” Users can create and save their own preset messages when the vehicle is in Park. The feature requires a compatible smartphone with Bluetooth profile and applicable text messaging features. Driver safety is General Motors’ first priority. A driver’s focus should remain on driving and texting can usually wait.

landmark of the Bentley brand. The bodies of the new Richmond pieces are created with an embracing double shell and can be covered in either leather or a fine veneer of burr walnut. The same wide selection of veneers available for Bentley car customers is also available for most pieces in the collection. The wood is then carefully matched to a padded structure covered in a sophisticated light cashmere. The seating reflects the level of comfort and luxury found in the Crewe-based marque, which makes it unique in its class. The colour palette is composed of varying neutral tones of ivory and taupe matched with shades of beige and cream. Intricate details such as the leather braid around the contours highlight the soft and sinuous lines.
