Old neighbourhood feel being lost as new merchants move in, say longtime residents Don Descoteau News staff

The couple has operated the business for 12 years and say the neighbourhood has changed a lot in that time. iconic red Gate of Harmonious Interest, built in 1981, is a favourite photo subject – the behindthe-scenes make up of Chinatown is becoming less about traditional community and more about selling the image.

Chinatown’s transformation The Victoria BBQ House and Bakery in Chinatown is a cozy little shop, the kind of place one can imagine growing up around as a kid. Helen Ng, 19, enjoyed that experience with her younger brother, Jacky, now 16. She still pops in to see her parents, Ken Ng and Ling Tang, every so often after classes at the University of Victoria, “just to chill.” Are she or Jacky destined to follow in their parents’ footsteps and one day take over the business? “I want to do my own “Some stores thing,” says Helen, who have closed plans to study criminology down, some have at Simon Fraser University next year. “They somebecome other times jokingly ask me, or say you should continue types of stores this.

The Ngs’ story is common around Victoria’s Chinatown. Parents who have owned and operated businesses in the neighbourhood for years as a way to support their families have encouraged their children to pursue post-secondary education and make something more of their lives. “Running a business is hard and I don’t want my children to have to work as hard,” Ken says through the interpretation of Helen. “Sometimes we work 10 hours a day.” Chinatown is indeed changing.

POLICE NEWS IN BRIEF
Robbery ends with foot pursuit A 34-year-old Victoria man is facing a robbery and parole violation charges after allegedly holding up a business in the 900-block of Yates St. Monday night. An employee called 911 around 10:30 p.m. and provided surveillance video of the man. Victoria police officers zeroed in on the man around 2:30 a.m. in the 800-block of Cormorant St., which led to a short chase on foot.
Truck, family heirlooms stolen in Victoria A truck full of family heirlooms stolen in Victoria was found safe in Langford Wednesday. The 2006 Dodge Ram, owned by an Alberta man, was parked in a hotel parking lot in the 300block of Gorge Rd. East when it was stolen Monday night. Westshore RCMP found the truck parked on Peatt Road in Langford early Wednesday morning and impounded the vehicle. Information sharing between police agencies was paramount in the investigation, said RCMP Const. Sarah Beckett.
Weather a factor in pedestrian accident Victoria police believe bad weather was a contributing factor in a collision Tuesday night that sent a 30-year-old Esquimalt woman to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Just before midnight, VicPD officers witnessed a left-turning vehicle strike a pedestrian at Bay Street and Westbourne Place. The driver and passenger immediately got out to offer assistance, said Const. Mike Russell. The driver was issued a ticket for failing to yield to a pedestrian.

Spas tailor to cancer patients Oncology esthetics a popular trend in wellness community Daniel Palmer News staff
Each time Karen Hauser’s cancer returns, she readies herself for the hair loss, cracked skin and emotional turmoil that inevitably follows. “You feel like you’re losing your womanhood somehow,” said Hauser, who was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1988. “There are so many times with cancer when it’s all encompassing, it takes your whole personality away.” While she was accustomed to sterile medical procedures, the stigma of undressing in front of other people led to isolation and a loss of self-confidence. “It’s hard to know how to present yourself when you’ve lost your hair from radiation,” she said. It wasn’t until a friend told Hauser about oncology esthetics, spas that cater to cancer patients, that she booked a massage for the first time in 25 years. “Initially, I thought thank goodness you don’t have to explain yourself when you get to the spa,” she said. “You’re surrounded by people who know what’s going on. If your towel falls open or you want a head massage, it’s not a big deal.” As more than 186,000 Canadians are diagnosed with cancer every year, cancerrelated beauty and self-care

The Spa Magnolia has been offering oncology esthetics to mostly women since May, and the business is already seeing about 20 clients per month, said owner Paula Veenema. “Massage and facial is what we book most frequently, simply
because touch just feels so good after undergoing cancer therapy,” she said. “A lot of what we see is severely dehydrated, very sensitive skin.” Certification involves training in the effects of chemotherapy and radiation on the body, massage techniques and
sensitivity training. There are around 10 certified oncology estheticians in B.C. including the Sapphire Day Spa and AVEDA Institute in Victoria. The practice isn’t openly endorsed by the Canadian Cancer Society, but self-care activities like massage are an “extremely important of the cancer journey,” said Dr. Sandra Kruecki, director of Information and Support with the Canadian Cancer Society. “We welcome services that provide respite, relaxation and self-care to cancer patients and their families,” Kruecki said. The American Cancer Society is also beginning to promote self-care with its new Look Good, Feel Better campaign, an online guide that provides beauty, skin and nail care tips for men, women and teens. The program aims to improve self-esteem and quality of life during cancer treatment. Veenema intentionally keeps treatment costs for cancer patients about 20 per cent lower than normal spa treatments, and said she’d like to see the service more readily available to the 838,000 Canadians with cancer. “We’d love to talk to anyone going through treatment and work something out,” Veenema said. “We’d hate to think this is out of reach for someone who needs it.” Hauser plans to book another massage soon to get her mind off a pending reconstructive surgery. “There are so many younger women now that cancer is affecting,” she said. “Being at the spa, you completely forget everything except being a princess for an hour or two. It really should be mandatory.” dpalmer@vicnews.com
Woman bilked of $88,000 in romance scam A Victoria woman is short $88,000 after sending cash overseas to an online acquaintance. Despite warnings from bank staff, the woman wired the cash to someone she’d met on an online dating website several months prior to the transaction. The swindler spent months developing
a relationship with the woman, in her 60s, over online messenger services, said Victoria police financial Det. Mike Johnston. “We’ve seen time and time again that tens of thousands of dollars are being taken from victims here in our communities,” Johnston said. The cash was wired to Malaysia then Nige-
ria, he added. VicPD also noted two other romance scams in June that bilked locals out of more than $50,000. Police recommend reporting any scams to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre or by calling local police. editor@vicnews.com

Victoria MP Murray Rankin in the House of Commons. “I’m thrilled with how well we’re doing and proud to be a part of such a dynamic caucus,” he says of the NDP.
Murray Rankin functions at a pace most people would find exhausting, but he likes it that way. For the past year, the Victoria MP has clocked near-weekly flights between Ottawa and his constituency for everything from early morning committee meetings to Question Period to party fundraisers. “I’ve learned to live with permanent jet lag,” he said between a packed-house pension forum with NDP leader Tom Mulcair in Cook Street Village and a stop at the Youth Addressing Local Poverty conference at St. Michaels University school last Friday. Rankin, nearing the first anniversary of his election Nov. 26, has seen

his legal expertise and encyclopedic knowledge help him rise quickly in the NDP caucus. He’s opposition critic for national revenue and pensions, a member of the federal finance committee and an architect of the NDP’s targeted querying that has breathed new life into Question Period. “One of the great keys to success is preparation,” he said. “If finance committee meets at 9 a.m. in Ottawa, I get up at the equivalent of 4 a.m. (PST). But you have to be sharp and prepare.” Locally, Rankin has been surprised by the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder suffered by many military officers as he continues work done by former Victoria MP Denise Savoie to improve federal veteran assistance. “The whole issue is something i didn’t know much about before taking this job. The government is fighting people who are hoping to get pension benefits, giving them lump sum payments rather than ongoing benefits,” he said. Over the next
few months, Rankin will join Mulcair for a cross-country pensions tour to tout plans to overhaul the Canada Pension Plan, a “core plank” of the NDP’s 2015 election campaign. “This isn’t the Canada I grew up in,” he said. “We’re leaving a massive economic, environmental and social debt on the backs of the next generation. We’re going to change that.” While Rankin wouldn’t confirm whether the B.C. NDP have approached him as a leadership candidate (he was considered a prime candidate in 2003 before Carole James assumed the role), he has no plans to leave federal office in the foreseeable future. “I was just elected a year ago. I’m not going anywhere,” he said. “I’m thrilled with how well we’re doing and proud to be a part of such a dynamic caucus.” dpalmer@vicnews.com

More info sought on Provincial Capital Commission holdings Province plans to dissolve PCC next spring Daniel Palmer News staff
The B.C. government’s intention to dissolve the Crown corporation responsible for Victoria’s most prized buildings is raising more questions than answers among local politicians and business owners. Energy Minister Bill Bennett revealed Tuesday government plans to axe the Provincial Capital Commission next spring to save about $1 million annually as part of the province’s core review. The PCC owns and leases downtown gems like St. Ann’s Academy, the former CPR Steamship terminal building, Crystal Garden and Ship’s Point in the Inner Harbour. Saanich also leases much of Cuthbert Holmes Park from the PCC, and land parcels in View Royal and Langford are under similar agreements. “I think the public has a right to be concerned about the future of these lands. They’re extremely important to our local economy and to our quality of life,” said Victoria Coun. Ben Isitt, a PCC board director.
Isitt and fellow directors Coun. Shellie Gudgeon and Oak Bay Coun. Pam Copely have sent Premier Christy Clark an open letter requesting she provide long-term property plans for lessees and present a business case to demonstrate purported savings. The directors are also concerned public representation could be lost when the PCC’s 14-member board of directors is dissolved. Four local politicians from Victoria, Oak Bay and Esquimalt currently sit on the board. “We have a transition team currently working on (the vision for the properties),” said Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Coralee Oakes. Oakes’ ministry will absorb most of the PCC’s staff and responsibilities including administration of the B.C. Youth Parliament and other outreach programs that provide economic stimulus to the capital. But Oakes was more vague on long-term ownership options for the properties. “We’ve been moving away from properties and focusing on the celebration side of what the PCC does,” she said. The transportation ministry is poised to take over the PCC’s Belleville ferry terminal used by the Coho ferry and Victo-
Police dogs take bite out of costs for Jeneece Place Charla Huber News staff
The Canadian Police Canine Association and Saanich police donated just under $25,000 to Jeneece Place on Friday, the haven for parents with a child in Victoria General Hospital. “We all have kids and realize we could have all easily been in the position to use a facility like this,” said Saanich police Sgt. Glen MacKenzie, a father of two. “We’ve all watched Jeneece grow up and have witnessed her selflessness.” The contribution is the largest non-estate donation to Jeneece Place since it opened its doors in January 2012. The money was raised during the national police canine championships hosted by the Saanich police in September. Funds came through corporate sponsor-
ships, private donations, 50-50 draws and events, including a public day during the championships at the University of Victoria stadium. editor@vicnews.com

ria Clippers, a structure which requires an estimated $10-million replacement in the next few years. “The dock is definitely at the end of its life and the province is aware of that,” said Black Ball Ferry Line president Ryan Burles, whose lease with the PCC expires in 2014. “The PCC was certainly a good landlord and we dealt with them since their creation, so we’ve had a good rapport. But we also have a good rapport with the province. There needs to be a plan going forward to renew (the terminal) and we’re happy to work with the government,” he said. PCC chair David Everett, who will shepherd the organization through transitional planning, said he wasn’t surprised by the government’s announcement as Shared Services B.C. has been involved with the PCC’s operations for more than a year. “I think it’s business as usual, quite frankly,” he said. “The overall emphasis is to protect these iconic heritage properties for the benefit of all Victorians, especially the Inner Harbour sites.” The B.C. government intends to cut $50 million from its budget by next year through a core review of services, said Bennett. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Tough decisions needed by Ferries No changes to how B.C. Ferries delivers its services will ever meet with total approval. Critics of the proposal to charge seniors halfprice passenger rates during the week instead of giving them free passage see the decision as gouging a vulnerable segment of society. But half price is still Ferry corporation a generous discount. The perk of free can’t be all things mid-week passage to all people for seniors may have made moral sense, if not business sense, when the corporation was in a better financial position, but not now. B.C. Ferries’ proposal to cut little-used early morning and late-night runs on smaller routes makes sense, as does maintaining service at busier commuter times. Some argue that any cut to service is a blow to the original B.C. Ferries concept of extending the coastal highway system to the growing number of people living on smaller islands. But those residents, many of whom commute to work on Vancouver Island or the mainland, have chosen that lifestyle and it comes with costs. Forcing the majority to pay through everhigher fares to service the minority doesn’t make sense. The idea of putting slot machines on ferries working the Swartz Bay-Tsawwassen run is an insult to passengers maxed out with the number of extra-cost services available on the ships. While revenue from these runs has subsidized the smaller runs for years, enough is enough. It’s time to stop looking for more ways to gouge the already cash-strapped ridership. With the balance sheets bleeding red, B.C. Ferries must make some hard choices. Complicating that scenario is the fact the corporation is quasi-private and serves two masters, the public and government, which is the public in business suits. As such, the need to find workable compromises is heightened. In the end, the main objective is stabilization of fares for all ferry riders. If that takes cutting some low-usage sailings and asking seniors to pay a little more, we’re all for it.

Replace B.C. utilities watchdog A few years ago the B.C. Utilities Commission turned down B.C. Hydro’s request to build the Site C dam on the Peace River in Northern B.C. Since then, Hydro and the B.C. Liberal government have simply bypassed the commission. I used to think that the utilities commission’s mandate was to gather relevant information in order to make knowledgeable decisions and to protect the rights of the public. Minister of Energy and Mines Bill Bennett, in discussions regarding “smart meter” opt outs, recently stated that the BCUC would obey the province and B.C. Hydro and do as they are told. Isn’t it time to institute a non-biased and free-thinking watchdog to protect the public interest? Perhaps one with the unwavering honesty of our previous auditor general? David Waterhouse Saanich

while staying within budgetary constraints?” Let me restate that in language everyone understands. As a Saanich taxpayer I want the biggest bang for my buck. I want to ensure that my parks and recreation tax dollars are being well spent to provide services to the community. Exactly who are these community members and what needs are not currently being met? It is families with young children (and grandparents) who have no playground area in Cedar Hill Park. Beacon Hill has two new, beautiful playground areas. Cedar Hill Park has nothing; no outdoor facilities for families and young children. Currently there are no outdoor facilities for seniors with mobility issues or persons with disabilities. Cedar Hill Park has wonderful walking trails, but they are not designed for strollers, young children or people with mobility issues. I would like to see an attractive new playground alongside groomed walking trails for families, seniors and people with disabilities. This could include a reclaimed wetland “garden” featuring indigenous species along parts of the trails. This proposal provides the greatest “substantial benefit” for the largest number of community members, while actually costing

No one likes the noise, which seems to be an unavoidable result of using these tools. We all put up with the noise for the same reason we put up with taxes. It’s necessary. The advocate of banning leaf blowers is welcome to rake my lawn, cut my grass with a push mower and hand-brush the moss off my driveway.

There’s no other organ in B.C. where that would have been possible.” The pump organ (more accurately described as a “harmonium”) was installed by the famous firm Frères Casavant of St. Hyacinthe, Que. in 1913, for the hefty fee of $2,195.
Historic site preserved in modern milieu St. Ann’s Academy historic interpretive centre is a unique combination of historic preservation and modern functionality. From outside the front gates on Humboldt Street, the stately old building appears to be just as it was over a century ago. But looks can be deceptive. “Except for the interpretive centre, they kept the façade but it’s really only a curtain that conceals a modern office building,” said Shelley Myhres, interpretive centre program co-ordinator. “If you look through the side doors at what’s there now, you’ll
see that nothing is the same as it was.” The building and grounds were purchased from the Sisters of St. Ann by the B.C. Public Works Dept. in 1974. Although the building was initially used in its original wood and brick form, years of neglect had rendered it beyond salvation. It was soon condemned by the City of Victoria and remained closed and vacant for more than a decade. That’s when Provincial Capital Commission joined with the B.C. Buildings Corporation to under-
take a $16.2-million renovation of the site. While the interpretive centre was maintained and restored to its 100-year-old glory, the remaining portions of the 76,000-square-foot building were converted to modern office space for more than 300 workers. Every working day those employees pass through St. Ann’s historic wrought iron gates as they make their way to a modern office building that lies concealed behind the bricks, wood and grandeur of the past. editor@vicnews.com
835 Humboldt St. The event includes an information session, slide show and concert as well as refreshments and a birthday cake. “People will even have a chance to pump the bellows and look inside the organ,” Trayner said. “We might even let them play a few notes.” More information on the St. Ann’s Academy National Historic Site can be found at stannsacademy.com. editor@vicnews.com
“Many of the pipes were custom shaped to fit the space, right here on site,” Trayner said. “It was an incredibly difficult and complex task.” Added Myhres: “We’ve tried to put a value on it in today’s dollars and we know that it’s over $250,000, but the truth is that it’s priceless. It could never be replicated today.” Myhres and other staff and volunteers invite the public to the free open house starting at 1:30 p.m. at the interpretive centre,

INGLEDEW S FALL
Children forge careers away from Chinatown Continued from Page A1
“It was always their dream for their children not to take over the business, but to do better by getting an education and a more secure job that included health benefits and pensions. My father worked in restaurants and owned a shoe store when I was growing up. He never wanted any of the children to take over.” Thornton-Joe made a career in the food and beverage industry after graduation from UVic, although not in Chinatown, but says her father would have rather she became a teacher or work in government, like other children of Chinatown merchants. Over on Fisgard Street, 64-year-old Vicky Low is looking forward to retirement. A partner with her siblings in the popular Golden City Restaurant for nearly 25 years, she would sell the business anytime for the right price. Six-and-a-half-day weeks can tend to wear you down. She would consider working part-time for someone else, since she still enjoys the business. “Before the restaurant business I ran a corner store,” she says. “But a corner store is too dull. A restaurant is more exciting. After you do a big function, if the group enjoys it, you feel good.” Her three children – two daughters and a son – are in their 30s and have their own lives and careers on which to focus. Son Daniel, 34, is in sales at Three Point Motors and does well with Asian clients given his ability to speak Mandarin and Cantonese. He ran Opium restaurant at Pandora Avenue and Government Street for awhile but eventually moved out of
the business. Vicky notes it is hard to find Chinese chefs to work in local restaurants these days. Younger people who immigrate generally have more money than older workers still in the business had when they came from China, she says, and they aren’t looking for restaurant jobs. It’s tough to lure young Chinese people from Vancouver as well, she says, since they are more interested in the pay level and entertainment options than the job. Acknowledging the appeal of staying in Chinatown, she likes her daughter-in-law’s idea of opening a Chinese tea or import business in the area. As for the future of the neighbourhood, the oldest Chinatown in Canada, Helen foresees further change. “I think it’ll be different. Old people come down to Chinatown not only for groceries, but they stay awhile to talk to shop owners and friends. Things will keep changing and I feel they won’t come as often because the family feel is not there.” ddescoteau@vicnews.com
Development in Chinatown Not only are traditional businesses changing ownership, the landscape in Chinatown is also changing. Projects either completed or in progress include: n The Union condominiums on Fisgard Street and Pandora Avenue n 601 Herald St., (four storeys, 27 condo units) n The Janion building on Store Street n Removal of shelter services from Streetlink on Store Street

Direct donations to Red Cross are also being accepted at Beacon thrift stores at 2676 Quadra St. and 715 Pandora St. in Victoria as well as their stores in Brentwood Bay and Sidney.

livier Clements is back home and he’s pretty excited about it. The Victoria-bred trumpet and flugelhorn player says he has been incredibly busy touring with stars of the local indie music scene, such as Aidan Knight and Justin Rutledge. “We had shows everywhere between Victoria and Winnipeg,” Knight said from on the road in Abbotsford at about 10:30 a.m. “The whole band is still asleep but I was able to sneak out to take this phone call.” With upcoming runs with the Victoria Jazz Orchestra and the Victoria Operatic Society for its run of Annie, Clements will now have a chance to hang up his hat, albeit with a busy local schedule. With all that’s going on in his career, however, perhaps the most exciting is developments with his fusion passion project Olivier Clements and Dissonant Histories, which has a rare live show and a first album release in the near
future. The band will be taking to the stage at Hermann’s Jazz Club on Tuesday, Nov. 26. The event will mark only the third time the band has played for the public. A full schedule for Clements and the challenges of co-ordinating seven other busy musicians has put the project on the back burner for the most part. But that’s about to change. As an eight-piece band with lots of brass and a three-piece rhythm section, the group plays an experimental yet accessible brand of music which comes from the seemingly mismatched musical directions of its leader. Clements writes original material for the group, taking influences from a variety of sources and writing a brand of music that’s hard to pin down. “I’ve got all these weird influences that are all over the place, and I’m trying to make music that’s not awful,” Clements laughed. “It’s like indie-folk aesthetic with hip-hop grooves.” While raised and trained as a jazz musician, Clements has also toured extensively with indie pop and folk
groups, and also holds a blooming love of somewhat offbeat hip-hop, such as MF Doom, and classical music, such as Phillip Glass. “(It’s) trying to figure out where I stand in all this,” Clements said. “I’m not trying to blend all these styles together, I’m more trying to reconcile them.” A growing dissatisfaction with the direction of modern jazz music also spurred the creative change of pace. “I was getting really tired of this idea where the band plays a 30-second melody and then everybody takes a 20-minute solo,” Clements said. “There was a conscious movement on my part to try to make this about a band … make it more about eight people working together to make these songs.” Clements has also recorded an album of the Dissonant Histories material with other musicians in Toronto, which will be released in February 2014 simply titled Olivier Clements and Dissonant Histories. With the album coming out, Clements hopes to start touring with the band and playing a lot more live gigs. The show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $18, $14 for students and are available at Ditch Records and olivierclements.com.

Boxers are Breif Boylesque performs its annual Less is Mo fundraiser show for Movember at the Victoria Event Centre on Saturday, Nov. 23.
it’s been just over a year since the men of the Boxers are Brief Boylesque troupe unleashed themselves on victoria with their debut in Rosie Bitts’ Fresh From the Sexy Factory show. it sold out, as did their inaugural Less is Mo fundraiser for Movember last year, and every Boxers are Brief show since. they are humongous (in terms of popularity) and are once again ready for, well, some more mo, with the second annual Less is Mo, Saturday night at the victoria Event centre. “i don’t know exactly what it is about it that makes it successful except that we have so much fun with it. i think it’s just the amount of fun we’re having on stage,” says Johnny Bottomsworth, who started the local boy meets burlesque movement. in Movember spirit, Bottomsworth is flaunting a hairy upper lip but not all members will be carrying face furniture. Part proceeds will go to Movember (last year’s event donated $2,000) to benefit the research and awareness around men’s health areas of

prostrate and testicular cancers, and mental health. “We really believe in male self-acceptance and equality,” Bottomsworth said. “Gay, straight, whatever, we’re just a very relaxed bunch of dudes, acting and goofing, and the audience can see that.” Since it started the troupe has grown in size, swelling from six members to the current rotation of 10 to 20. there are 10 performers on the bill for Saturday, including founding members BadMan throbbins and clam chowda. Shows sell out and Bottomsworth estimates the number of women in the audience is only about 65 per cent. of course, that says nothing about the sexual orientation of the audience, which is as mixed as the cast itself. But it isn’t always that way. “one guy slammed his beer bottle down and left,” says Bottomsworth of one of their less positive reviews. “But i just read a study that said the more homophobic you are, the closer you are to being homosexual. We’re totally secure with ourselves. Rehearsal has become a positive place for us where we can be ourselves. the only rule is if you want to be on the team you have to come to rehearsal.” Doors at 7, show at 7:30 p.m., Saturday (Nov. 23) at the victoria Event centre, 1415 Broad. tickets are $20, available at Lyle’s Records or online at boxersarebrief.ca.
“I recommend Vitamin C and Lysine for Heart Health” W. Gifford-Jones, MD Fourteen years ago following my own coronary attack I decided to follow the research of Dr. Linus Pauling, Professor Williams Stehbens and Dr. Sydney Bush and take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine. I am turning 90 soon and I am glad I did! Dr. Linus Pauling, two-time Nobel Prize winner, was ignored for reporting that large amounts of vitamin C and lysine are needed to prevent coronary attacks. Twenty-five years ago Pauling reported that animals make vitamin C but humans do not and must supplement this important vitamin. Lysine must also be supplemented. Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Pauling claimed it takes a mere 10 milligrams of vitamin C to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack. Dr. William Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Auckland University in New Zealand emphasized that coronary arteries are under more pressure than any other arteries in the body. After all, they’re situated in the heart’s muscle, not in the big toe. Moreover they’re under constant pressure while the heart beats 100,000 times every 24 hours, or 37 million times a year, and 2.2 billion times if you live to 70 years of age. Without sufficient vitamin C and lysine this constant pounding causes minute cracks in collagen, resulting in blood clots and possible death, or a weakened artery can break, causing a stroke. Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C and lysine can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later new pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries.

United Way leader among the honourees at National Philanthropy Day gala Don Descoteau News staff
Rebecca Grant can still remember her first employer's advice on how to connect with her community: get involved with the chamber of commerce and donate to the United Way. That was 40 years ago and Grant, now an associate professor of information technologies at the University of Victoria's Gustavson School of Business, maintains both connections today. Anyone involved at the campaign level with United Way of Greater Victoria likely knows at least a little of Grant's legacy with the organization. Since 2002 she has served in various capacities, acting as Capital Region campaign chair in 2008 and as a campaign cabinet member since. Talking about her motivation to volunteer for United Way and other local charitable and business organizations, she said anyone can be self-focused if they choose. "But we're all part of a Rebecca Grant community and as an individual, your quality of life is only as good as the community around you," she said. Grant was among honourees at the Fairmont Empress Hotel recently at a National Philanthropy Day celebration, earning the outstanding fundraiser award. She recalled with a chuckle being invited to lunch in 2002 to talk about how UVic might expand its United Way campaign. "One of the things I quickly realized is there really is no such thing as a free lunch. The next thing I knew I was the workplace leadership chair for UVic." Among the other winners on the night, local businessman and former Second World War POW Rudi Hoenson was honoured with the Generosity of Spirit award for his significant personal donations of money, time and leadership over the years to various causes, mostly health care-related. The Independent Order of Odd Fellows received the Outstanding Philanthropic Service Club Award for supporting those in need, with a focus on children, seniors and a multitude of health-based charities. The Mustard Seed food bank and B.C. Cancer Agency are two frequent beneficiaries of Odd Fellows' efforts. The Reynolds secondary Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock fundraising team collected the Youth in Philanthropy award for their ongoing work to collect money for pediatric cancer initiatives. For 2013, the Reynolds campaign recently surpassed the $100,000 mark, bringing the nine-year total for the school to more than $470,000. Taking this year's Corporate Citizenship Award was Coastal Community Credit Union.

They’re all Grade 9s so they hope they can do this at Islands again next year.
At provincials, they’re going to get as much experience as they can for next year,” McKinnon said. Rams left-side hitter Jessica Lane was named tournament MVP. Rams’ Sabrina Lam was a first team all-star with sixth-place Claremont Spartans star Taylor Columbine. Belmont finished eighth. sports@vicnews.com

Second chance at AAAA B.C. berths Travis Paterson News staff
The Belmont Bulldogs and Oak Bay Bays are headed to North Vancouver this weekend to compete in a six-team wild card tournament for the final two berths at the AAAA Senior Girls Volleyball Championships in Penticton, Nov. 28 to 30. The two teams earned the entry after the host Bulldogs finished second at the Senior Girls
AAAA Island Volleyball Championship and the Bays finished third. The Bulldogs lost in the final to the Vanier Towhees, Island winners for the third consecutive year. Vanier won in straight sets, 25-21, 25-23, 25-20 and qualiied for provincials. “Vanier is ranked No. 8 in the province (tops on the Island) and proved to have a little more firepower than Belmont,” said Bulldogs coach Mike Toakley. “The Bulldogs (actually) lead Vanier at some point in all three games but were unable to push through for a win.”
The Bays defeated Claremont for third in a tight finish as Oak Bay won the final set tie-breaker 17-15. The wild-card tournament is Saturday, Nov. 23, at North Vancouver’s Handsworth secondary. Vanier’s Megan Ireland was named the AAAA Island tournament MVP. The tournament all-stars were dominated by the top four teams: Carly Guenter (Vanier), Kiana Pomponio (Belmont), Tamara Bonsdorf (Belmont), Asia Rattigan (Oak Bay), Haley Cabral (Claremont), Alena Holyk (Dover Bay). sports@vicnews.com
Reynolds’ run lost in the mix Travis Paterson

Island champion “We were playOak Bay Barbers ing really strong looking to win a (against Belmont), third straight B.C. maybe aftertitle. Add to that the wards we were a Belmont Bulldogs’ bit surprised we tremendous year, in did that well,” which they’ve chalReynolds player lenged and beat the Alexis Duval Alexis Duval said. Barbers, and the Roadrunners are quietly the “Before the game we probably didn’t the think we’d come that third best team on the Island. Third is how they finished close, so it’s disappointing.” Later that night the Roadrunat the AAA Island Senior Boys Championships at Oak Bay on ners bounced back and defeated Saturday (Nov. 16). But it was Dover Bay in four sets, including nearly a trip to the Island final, a hair-raising third set, 32-30, to as the Roadrunners fell just finish third at Islands. Most important is the Roadshy of a colossal upset in the semifinal. Having already beat runners spot at provincials, the Claremont Spartans in the Duval said. “We were happy to win Saturday morning quarterfinal, and thereby clinched a spot at (against Claremont). It’s great the AAA Senior Boys Volleyball to finally go to provincials. Last

year we were close, fourth at Islands.” The 6-foot-3 power hitter was named to the AAA Island second all-star team. Duval is a net threat for Reynolds and has been part of the Roadrunner’s biggest season in the recent era, though he’s even more promising as a provincial level badminton player. “Volleyball’s really fun right now so I don’t mind that it’s taking a lot of time out training for badminton. The lead up from all the practices we’ve had, (Islands) was time to play our best volleyball. If we can play our best volleyball at provincials we’ll be happy with that,” Duval said. Reynolds has shown flashes of brilliance this season, the biggest coming back in September when they won the University of B.C. Invitational, topping a field of 40 teams. The team is led by Duval up front and a core of strong Grade 11s around the talented setter, David Lee. Duval predicts this team should be just as good, if not better, next year. sports@vicnews.com

Welcome to the driver’s seat
The S3 really is the sweet spot for drivers that want to have extra power but with a very compliant and comfortable ride. Zack Spencer

Question
Audi’s road ahead paved with more than good intentions
‘‘

Which would you rather have a truck or a sports car?—and please say why.
lours, plus an optional diamond pattern stitch can be ordered to take the sporty sedan to another level. I found the seating position very comfortable and outward visibility is not a problem. The Cabriolet seats are fitted with a heater that showers the front passengers with warm air across their shoulders and neck for top-down stints. The weather in Monte Carlo was perfect for the convertible – the sun was shining off the Mediterranean, showcasing this car of opulence at a more affordable price.
?
QUESTION OF THE WEEK!
Safety Tip:
Drive The Canadian models have not fully been nailed down, as there is still a year to go until the Cabrio and S3 arrive. What is established is the convertible will come with the all-new 2.0L direct injection turbo with 220hp, matched to Audi’s Quattro all-wheeldrive system. A six-speed automatic is confirmed but the duel-clutch S-Tronic transmission might be sold as an option in this model. There will be no manual shift and no diesel, which is a shame, as I drove one of the European versions with this setup and it was superb. The S3 comes standard with a 300hp version of the same 2.0L engine and the duel clutch automatic, and of course, AWD. It’s not as powerful as the 355hp Mercedes CLA 45 AMG, but I feel it has more usable power.
Ice and snow can hit unexpectedly at this time of the year. This is a good time to make sure your tires are rated for the conditions you may be driving in and check your tire pressure regularly – pressure drops in cold weather and overinflated tires can reduce gripping.

TOLMIE
MONACO: Over the next 12 months or so, consumers are going to be treated to an onslaught of new entries into the premium market. Not to worry, the next wave of German sedans and convertibles are of a more affordable nature. Recently Mercedes Benz introduced their all-new CLA 250 at an eye-popping price of just $34,000 for a sleek and sexy sedan. Next year we will see the introduction of BMW’s new 1-series and 2-Series sedans, coupes and convertibles. Audi has been ahead of the curve as they helped pioneer this entry-level segment with the original, the A3 sportback, sold in Canada for years. The all-new Audi A3 sedan will arrive in March of 2014 and the convertible and more powerful S3 sedan will arrive in the fall of 2014. This week I had a chance to drive both the convertible and S3 in Monte Carlo, a full year ahead of their introduction here. I suspect the real reason to have a media event so far in advance is to give the buying public some insight and possibly delay buying a competitor’s car. Audi is one of the fastest growing premium brands and a big part of that is the variety of cars they offer. Unfortunately, we will no longer get the sportback, but the fact we get the rest of the line of A3s is exciting for buyers.
Looks The A3 is built off a shared of the quietest on the market because of a special layer of sound insulation. platform with VW called MQB.

The all-new Audi A3 sedan arrives in March 2014 and the convertible in the fall continued from previous page
The CLA gets peak horsepower at very high revs, whereas this new S3 pulls from very low speeds up to higher speeds. I experienced this carving the switchback mountain roads just above Monaco. Power is not an issue; I would argue that the S3 is a better everyday car compared to the more nervous feeling AMG competitor. The suspension is more compliant and the power is a perfect combination of driveability and enthusiasm. At the end of our day I sat next to Florian Uselt, Audi’s head of small engine development, and I asked why they did not decide to chase the horsepower rat-
ing of 355hp from the Mercedes CLA AMG. His answer makes sense and was confirmed in the way the S3 behaves. He feels that everyday driveability and performance need to be balanced and they look at the car as a whole, meaning the environmental impact and fuel consumption as other targets, not just power. Audi claims a 0-100km/h run will take just 4.9 seconds in the S3 and use a combined 6.9L/100km (European fuel rating).
been established for the Cabrio but it was hinted that this model would be roughly the same price as the S3, which has been confirmed at $44,000, roughly $6,000 cheaper than the CLA AMG. The base A3 sedan will arrive in a few short months with a 1.8L turbo gasoline engine, an optional TDI diesel and the same 2.0L turbo found in the Cabrio. The S3 really is the sweet spot for drivers that want to have extra power but with a very compliant and comfortable ride. The combination of usable trunk space and back seat, simple yet elegant dash, power the driver can use, all at a lower price than the competition, is something buyers might want to wait a year to try firsthand.
Verdict It is going to be an exciting time to be in the market for an entry-level premium car over the next year. The A3 Cabriolet and S3 confirm that good things do come in small packages. Pricing has not

A New World collaboration Chevrolet Camaro 2010 to 2012 The 2010 model year Chevrolet Camaro was designed in the USA, engineered in Australia and built in Canada. In addition to a very attractive returnto-roots styling exercise, this Camaro boasts a sophisticated rear-drive chassis, two powerful engine choices and lots more. Initially, the new Camaro came in LS, LT and SS trim levels. The base engine is a Cadillac-sourced direct-injection 3.6L V6. It can generate 304 horsepower and is mated to either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic. A more potent 6.2L V8 engine (from the Corvette) lies under the hood of the SS.
When paired with a six-speed manual it can pump out 425 horsepower. A 400-horsepower edition of this engine, with a fuel-saving cylinder deactivation system, came paired to the optional sixspeed automatic. Chevrolet claimed the Camaro V6 can reach 100 km/h in just 6.1 seconds and SS can do it in a tire-blistering 4.7 seconds, which is super-car territory. Fuel consumption is also less (or better) than you might expect, and both engines can run on regular gasoline. The Camaro V6 (auto) is rated at 11.4 L/100km in city and 6.7 L/100km on highway. And the SS (auto) is rated at 13.2 L/100km in city

and 7.9 L/100km on highway. Compared to the original ‘67, this Camaro is longer, wider and taller. Bigger wheels, which came in 18- to 21-inch rim sizes, accounted for much of the height increase. Regardless of the rim size originally ordered, the overall height and tire-to-body gap remained the same so that it doesn’t detract from the overall look of the car. A major difference between Chevrolet’s Camaro and its rival, the Ford Mustang, is the rear axle and suspension setup. Mustang has a rigid rear axle and the Camaro uses a more sophisticated independent link system with coil springs attached to an isolated sub-frame. It should result in a better riding and

For many people, buying a car is a painful process. Something worse than going to the dentist or, for women, a Brazilian waxing. Ouch. It can be a lengthy one, too. Furthermore, it doesn’t always start by going from dealership to dealership. In fact, most people have access to the Internet, so they’re doing their research prior to even leaving their home and finding themselves on a dealer lot. They look at various vehicle reviews, flip through newspapers (like the one you’re reading now) and ask other car owners’ opinions. When they get to the dealership, that’s when it becomes real. You take the car for a test drive, fall in love with it or walk away from it. When you find “the one” then comes the time to sign on the dotted line. But before you seal the deal, it’s time

Getting through the dealer’s door is just the first hurdle they feel they have to overcome. But for Vijay Jeyapalan, of Unhaggle (unhaggle.com), which helps Canadian car buyers get the best price on their new car by getting dealers to compete to offer the lowest price – he’d argue that women are better negotiators than men; an idea that challenges societal norms when it comes to car buying. “Before stepping into the showroom or test-driving a vehicle, most women are recognized to have done their homework and pre-purchase preparations,” Jeyapalan says. “This advantage allows them to properly assess what they want upon arrival and ask the

Are your tires ready for winter roads?
Follow us at:
A NEW BEGINNING
By Tom Fletcher
Some “all season” tires are good enough for winter roads in B.C., but not all of them. That’s one reason Transportation Minister Todd Stone has added the topic of tires to a provincial review of highway safety that includes speed limits. “It’s been almost 40 years since the current definition of a winter tire was actually changed, and tire technology has advanced dramatically, particularly over the last five to 10 years,” Stone said. With the popularity of all-season tires and all-wheel-drive vehicles, Stone said there is some confusion about what is acceptable for requirements that took effect Oct. 1 on routes that have winter conditions. Those routes have signs advising drivers to use winter tires or carry chains, and police may turn drivers away if they are not properly equipped. True winter tires have a symbol of a mountain and snowflake on the sidewall. All-season tires with the “M+S” mark to indicate traction in mud and snow are also permissible, but all tires must have a minimum tread depth of 3.5 mm. The transportation ministry has a website at th.gov.bc.ca/ SeasonalDriving/winter_chains.html that includes maps of routes affected by winter restrictions, and tips on how to use tire chains. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Listening is the key, not aggression and intimidation.” He goes on to say, “Women understand that a common ground is usually the best platform for a fair negotiation. Empathy plays a large role in that regard. Being able to view the situation from another person’s perspective doesn’t necessarily create an advantage, but it does allow the person to understand why they aren’t getting the upper hand.” Statistics show that more women are making car purchases that ever before. Granted they might not be experts when they walk in the door, but they generally know what they want. “The image of a damsel lost in a showroom, if it ever actually existed, is no longer something salespeople will see.” alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Look, please just get it through your thick skull that I’ve signalled to park and you should let me get tucked into the space before you swing out to pass me on this narrow road. It’s not a matter of etiquette, I have the right of way. If you had actually been paying attention to my signal you would not have become stuck behind me and could have made a safe pass in the other lane. What drives-u-crazy? keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

shoes, and plow markers. It is available in 82”, 84” and 88” lengths. Cost is $1,315. If you use a plow to make money, then you will want to be able to do the job quickly and efficiently, so you may want to go with a multi-position one. Multi-position plows are up to 50 per cent faster, due to the fact that you can reposition the blades to all straight-blade positions in addition to the scoop and V positions. This makes the plow adaptable to nearly any job you need it to do. When it comes to the composition of the blade you have the choice between steel and poly. The vast majority of snowplows on the market today come with steel blades, although the poly plows are becoming increasingly popular. The reason for the growing popularity is that poly is just as strong as steel – maybe even stronger. They have a lower coefficient of friction, which saves on fuel costs and is easier on your vehicle. The poly plows are also saturated with colour

all the way through so nicks and scratches do not show like they do with steel. Plus they don’t rust. Attaching and detaching the plow is very important, as well. You do not want to be freezing and trying to deal with getting a blade on and off your truck. Try the attachment system for yourself at the dealer so you can learn how to use it properly. Most snowplow makers use a single halogen light bulb, which are not bright enough; some makers have come out with dual halogen bulbs with the option of upgrading to High Intensity Discharge. These HID lights are four times brighter than standard halogen bulbs and also last ten times as long. Hydraulics is probably the most important part of the plow, along with the controls. Be sure that the hydraulics system is dependable and the controls are simple and easy to use. Go for quality rather than trying to save a buck. Remember “you get what you pay for” definitely applies here. These units run between $6,000 and $8,000, depending on the model. When it comes to the warranty, be sure to know exactly what you are getting and what the warranty covers. Some only cover parts, while others cover parts and labour. Warranties are usually one or two years, so pay attention to those details. If you take all of these things into consideration when shopping for a snowplow you will be able to choose the right one to suit your needs. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

I know I wrote about winter driving last week and then the cold, wet weather began, but please don’t blame me for this first blast of chilly weather. I’m here to help and, at the risk of bringing on a blizzard, I thought I would share some information on snowplows that you can attach to your truck. For most people who are just using a plow for clearing their own driveway, a straight-blade will more than likely be just fine. Snowsport offers a personal plow that is perfect for the homeowner. This system attaches to a front-mounted receiver, just as a boat trailer would. The U-shaped bracket is connected to the receiver and the snow blade rides up and down on these bars to allow for change in the terrain you’re plowing. Because there are no hydraulics involved, all you do is back up and the snow blade lies back, skimming over the surface. When driving forward, the blade automatically re-engages for plowing. When you are finished, lift the blade back over the push frame into the transport position. The cost of this option is $1,644. K2 is another brand of snowplow for the homeowner with acreage. Designed to work with a front receiver hitch, just like the Snowsport, it simply slides in the receiver and locks in place with a hitch lock. The winch is controlled from inside the cab and will raise or lower the height of the blade. The blade comes with a hardened steel cutting edge scraper, rubber snow deflector, skid
