Frustration grows as teachers eye full strike Money not only issue teachers want more say on class composition Daniel Palmer News staff

The frustration of Greater Victoria teachers was palpable in downtown Victoria this week, as about 300 teachers and supporters picketed the offices of the B.C. Ministry of Education to protest ongoing labour negotiations. On Tuesday night, teachers voted 86 per

cent in favour of a full walkout to put maximum pressure on the provincial government at the bargaining table. Should no deal be reached, the earliest possible date for school closures across B.C. would be Monday, June 16 and that could impact the last nine days of the school year. “Parents are telling me they’re taking their kids out of public school to put them in private school, and it’s for exactly the reasons we’re fighting here: smaller classes, one-toone support, teacher-librarian full-time,” said Benula Larsen, Greater Victoria Teachers Association president. A full strike would close elementary and middle schools – parents will be advised to

make child care arrangements if necessary – while secondary schools would be open only to conduct exams for Grade 10 to 12 students. High school teacher and Fairfield resident Jeff Laird said he supports the strike vote because classroom pressures have never been worse, as both the number of students and special needs students without additional support continue to increase. “The kids who need a standard education are not getting it because we’re busy putting out fires with a few students rather than teaching classes,” he said. “What really brought it home is when my four-year-old, Finnegan, is ready for school, I’m worried

about the quality of his education.” Saanich teacher Nessie Magee said she’s frustrated many people continue to believe the labour dispute comes down to teacher salaries. The focus, she said, has always been on class size and composition. “This is about the disparity between public education and private education. Right now, our kids are not getting equal opportunity of education. I’ve been teaching since 1983 and I’ve never seen the state of education in as disrepair as it is right now,” Magee said.

Newspaper owner earns honourary doctorate

DR. BLACK Don Descoteau Reporting

David Black, owner of Black Press and the Victoria News, was taken aback by his latest accolade from the University of Victoria. But he calls the doctorate a great and ‘very humbling’ honour.

If there’s one thing David Black embodies, it’s organization. The owner of Black Press – which publishes this newspaper and hundreds more in B.C. and North America – wasn’t about to offer some off-the-cuff remarks to graduates and officials gathered for last Wednesday’s convocation ceremony at the University of Victoria. In accepting an honourary Doctor of Laws degree, the modest newspaperman read from a prepared speech, despite the fact he only had five minutes to offer his pearls of wisdom. “It’s pretty special to be honoured from a university like this,” he said from his home office in Oak Bay. “They’ve had a lot of growth since I’ve been in Victoria.” While he admitted to being a “little bit embarrassed” to receive the honour – former Royal B.C. Museum CEO Pauline Rafferty received her honourary Doctor of Laws during convocations on Monday – he feels pride at being a part of the growth at UVic. Having based his growing newspaper group in Greater Victoria in the late 1980s, Black was among a group of leaders from the local business and academic communities who brainstormed the makeup and focus of UVic’s school of business in the mid-2000s. “I was lucky enough to be involved from the very beginning,” he said, adding that many good ideas were tossed around in the initial stages of the program’s development. Such aspects as mentorship, student entrepreneurship and international exposure to outside industry were brought forward as the educational strategy for the school was taking shape. “Those are still keys to the program and have been since the beginning,” he said. “It’s been fun watching (the business program), mostly from a distance.” The Black Press scholarship program, which awards $5,000 to one student in each of B.C.’s 37 school districts for enrolment into UVic’s Peter B. Gustavson School of Business (so named in 2010), was an effort to develop young entrepreneurs throughout B.C. as a way to strengthen the province’s economy. “I’ve met a lot of these kids over the years. They’re terrific,” he said of the scholarship winners. Rafferty, who guided the museum from

Victoria businessman David Black is proud of his latest acxhievement – an honourary Doctor of Laws degree from UVic.“It’s pretty special to be honoured from a university like this,” he said. 2001 until retiring in 2012, called the honourary doctorate a great and “very humbling” honour. In addition to overseeing the province’s museum and archives during that time, she volunteered on various boards and committees and continues to do so. In that time, she, too, has built a relationship with UVic, through helping develop the cultural sector leadership program for the Division of Continuing Studies. “Over the many years, the university and the RBCM had a very close partnership and I think that continues today, on many fronts,” she said. The relationships between small-town museum curators and

staff who have taken the UVic courses, and staff at the larger institution, have helped broaden the knowledge base in B.C. and farther afield, she added. She recalled that in her early days at the museum, a few years after it hosted the hugely successful Leonardo da Vinci exhibit in 1999, UVic inquired into creating a cultural tourism program that would draw on the strategies used for that undertaking. Rafferty believes the program created through the co-operation of the two groups was among the first of its kind in Canada and showed real academic ingenuity. editor@vicnews.com

The province has pledged to end its partial lockout of teachers at the end of the school year to allow for summer school. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said he hopes all parties can end the school year on a positive note by reaching a realistic labour deal with teachers. “Teachers deserve a raise but their total compensation demands are about four times more than other recent settlements,” he said. The government has twice been ordered by the B.C. Supreme Court to allow teachers control over class sizes and staffing levels, a provision that was stripped from their contracts in 2002. The government is appealing the ruling, but the case won’t be heard until this fall.

View Towers’s resident problems in a simmer Daniel Palmer News staff

About 100 people gathered outside View Towers Wednesday to protest against what they say are unfair tenancy practices by the building's owner. Yuka Kurokama, tenant legal advocate with the Together Against Poverty Society, said the availability of affordable housing units in Victoria is razor-thin, and the landlord needs to be accountable for doing whatever they can to keep current tenants in View Towers. "It is extremely difficult to secure long-term affordable housing in Victoria," she said. "We're here so the tenants continue to be heard."

Girls ready to rock summer

One ex-tenant, Warren Griffiths, said he was told to sign a termination agreement following a May 15 fire that displaced about 70 people, but he hasn't been able to retrieve his belongings from his 10th floor suite. "I got renovicted," he said. "They changed the locks on my door after putting a document in front of me and saying, 'Sign here.'" Two-year resident Nicola Peffers said she's spoken to many tenants in the building who are on disability, and stories of 'renovictions' abound. "The owners aren't in Victoria, and I'm really against this idea of pushing people out to attract higher-paying tenants," Peffers said.

Girls want to rock. And they’ll get plenty of opportunity this summer at the inaugural Girls Rock Camp Victoria, from July 21 to 26. GRCVI has partnered with Larsen Music for the week-long day camp program, where girls ages 8 to 18 will form a band, learn an instrument, and write a song together. As a feminist-based camp, workshops during the week will feature female-led instruction and activities

Building owner Capital Management Ltd. is based in Edmonton, while landlord Westsea Construction Ltd. is based in Vancouver. Griffiths said he's now living in a temporary dorm at the Salvation Army Addictions and Rehabilitation Centre in downtown Victoria, and he's receiving no search support for new affordable housing. The View Towers suite he lost cost $565 a month, he said, a rent he hasn't yet been able to find elsewhere in the Capital Region. A woman who answered the phone number associated to Capital Management Ltd. said the company had no comment and promptly hung up. dpalmer@vicnews.com

in song writing, instrument care and technical knowledge, media awareness of how women are portrayed in mainstream culture, silk screening to create band t-shirts, and stage presence. On the sixth day of the camp program, the bands will perform their song at the Showcase concert in front of an audience at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria.

OUR VIEW

Sunny days can kill you Canadians love the sun so much, it’s killing us. After being cooped up for months at a time to shelter from the snow and cold and, in the case of southwestern British Columbia, interminable rain, we rejoice at the first days of warm sunshine. By July we’re positively basking in it. And that’s leading to an alarming increase in skin cancer, according to a report released by the Canadian Cancer Society, Statistics Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada. The report says there will be about 6,500 new cases of malignant melanoma diagnosed in Canada this year. That’s the deadliest, most insidious form of skin cancer that will kill more than 1,000 Canadians annually. Another 76,100 cases of non-melanoma skin cancers will also be diagnosed. Those are less serious and can usually be treated in the doctor’s office. Unlike many other forms of cancer, the incidence of skin cancer is actually going up rather than down. For men, the incidence rate went up two per cent between 1986 and 2010. For women it increased 1.5 per cent. Mortality rates also increased. Those are sobering statistics worth thinking about the next time the seven-day weather forecast shows a solid run of glowing, golden orbs. Especially since it’s so easy to prevent skin cancer. While it might be a little much to ask people to stay indoors, it’s not a big deal to put on that shirt, roll down those sleeves, slap on that hat, slop on that sunscreen. And pay heed to that UV index that’s become a standard feature of most weather forecasts to avoid the sun’s rays when they’re at their most damaging. A little summertime prevention will mean being able to enjoy a lot more sunny seasons to come.

Common sense on poop Re: Public opinion wins on sewage (Our View, May 30) These are certainly strange times in B.C. politics. I didn’t think the day would ever come when I would be singing the praises of Mary Polak – but hearty congratulations to B.C.’s environment minister for refusing to be stampeded by the Capital Regional District into supporting its ridiculous plans for the McLoughlin Point sewage treatment plant. Of all the hare-brained schemes that have been proposed by local politicians and bureaucrats in Greater Victoria over the years – and, God knows, there has been no shortage of them – surely the most asinine of all was this proposal to squander hundreds of millions of dollars to build a giant Poop Palace at McLoughlin Point. Gordon Pollard Victoria

Build a copy of our beloved Blue Bridge Re: Victoria’s 8th Wonder (Our View, May 21) We want another Blue Bridge, just like the one my mother used to know – the same one operating today. The bridge outlasted her, but in all the time she knew it as the Blue

Bridge. I’m sure she did not know it as a bascule bridge. Bascule is derived from the French word for seesaw. Counterweights balance the bridge leaf. Tower Bridge has bascules. The replacement,which is being built in China, is an everyday drawbridge like the ones used for crossing moats. We were promised a bascule bridge and all these years we have had one. Stop, at once, any more taxpayers’ money being poured into the present futile endeavour. Build a new copy of our beloved Blue Bridge. Dennis Parsons Victoria

Give the public its say on amalgamation Every week local media have articles on how municipal services are delivered. It appears a vast majority of Greater Victoria residents have opinions on how we can do things better. How do we have a referendum on studying how best to deliver local services and still have some resemblance of local government?

Last Week

we asked you:

Can Section 797.3 or 797.31 of the Local Government Act be used to seek that opinion? Public Education services are delivered effectively by three school districts with 23 elected trustees. The municipal boundaries could mirror the school districts as follows: Core municipalities – Victoria, Saanich, Esquimalt and Oak Bay. Western communities – Colwood, Langford, View Royal, Highlands, Metchosin and Sooke. Saanich Peninsula – Central Saanich, North Saanich, parts of Saanich and Sidney. This could reduce the number of municipalities to three from 13 and the number of elected council members from approximately 100 to 27 or so. The need for the regional district could be eliminated too. Please let the public have a say on how their services are delivered. Bill Burns Victoria

Rotary club giving back to community Daniel Palmer News staff

Renovations for The Mustard Seed, aboriginal art for George Jay-Quadra Village community centre and music therapy for brain injury patients are just a few of the items being funded by Harbourside Rotary as it doles out nearly $100,000 for Victoria causes. The annual donations are raised through garage sales, Christmas cakes and the popular Roses for Rotary drives, which nets about $20,000 alone each year, said spokesperson Troy Alexander. “We also had a former member who donated $1 million to us and that money, we can spend the earnings,” he said. “We’ve definitely got a preference towards supporting local community: youth, at-risk persons and families.” There are 11 rotary clubs across Greater Victoria, with each managing and gifting donations to worthwhile causes. Harbourside Rotary also gives $1,000 scholarships to high school students preparing for university. “A lot of people think Rotary is a lot of fuddyduddys or rich old men who just get together and eat, but the one thing I like to try to promote is that rotary is for people of all ages and all walks of life,” Alexander said. A typical weekly meeting involves a presentation over breakfast. Speakers range from Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin to experts in the Fukushima disaster or Afghanistan. The $97,100 annual donations will be officially presented June 18 at the Union Club, 805 Gordon St., at 7 a.m. Potential new members can gp online to harboursiderotary.org for more information. dpalmer@vicnews.com

More jobs expected over summer months Brush the dust off that resume – Greater Victoria employers are expected to do more hiring this year, according to the latest Manpower Employment Outlook Survey. “Survey data reveals that 23 per cent of employers plan to hire for the upcoming quarter (July to September), while seven per cent anticipate cutbacks,” said Jeff Polkinghorne of Manpower’s Vancouver office. Another 70 per cent of employers plan to maintain their current staffing levels in the upcoming quarter. “With seasonal variations removed from the data, Victoria and the Capital Regional District’s third quarter Net Employment Outlook of 11 per cent is an increase of six percentage points when compared to the previous quarterly Outlook,” said Polkinghorne. “It is an eight percentage point decrease from the Outlook reported during the same time last year, but still indicates a hopeful hiring pace for the upcoming months.” editor@vicnews.com

Reduce Belly Fat! Increase Energy! Testosterone levels begin to diminish in men around age 30. In fact, by the time men are 60 years old, they typically produce 60% less testosterone than they did at age 20 (a man’s sexual peak). Many men over the age of 35 may already be feeling the effects of lower testosterone including:

Increased Belly Fat Low Energy

Low Libido Mood Changes

Decreased Muscle Strength Prostate Problems and more...

Unfortunately at the same time testosterone is decreasing, estrogen levels are increasing, causing further muscle loss and gain in body fat, making it extremely difficult to maintain a healthy metabolism. Along with a program of proper nutrition and regular exercise, researchers have discovered a group of naturally proven nutrients that can help you safely reduce excess estrogen while maximizing testosterone levels. Ultimate Male Energy™ contains 100% natural ingredients like: Chrysin, Stinging Nettle Root Extract, Indole-3-Carbinol and Broccoli Sprout Powder to help restore healthy, youthful hormone balance by positively affecting both estrogen and testosterone production, which ultimately helps a man look, feel and perform at his best.

Henry Sexsmith was enjoying his last few minutes of morning sleep when his mother burst into his room. The look of excitement on Stephanie Holmes’ face let him know he needed to take the call. “The person on the other end of the line said, ‘We want to tell you you’ve been selected as a recipient for the 2014 CIBC Youthvision scholarship,’” says Sexsmith from his Victoria home. “I was like, ‘Oh no way!’ … There’s only 33 people in Canada who get the scholarship. I just felt so lucky.” The roughly $40,000 scholarship is available to Grade 10 students who have been through the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, a youth mentoring charity that helps kids in primarily single adult families. Two other teens in Sooke and Sidney received the same scholarship, and Sexsmith also received one of only three athletic scholarships for football from CIBC Youthvision. Rhonda Brown, executive director with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Victoria, said the scholarship integrates financial support, an internship and a continued mentoring relationship that boosts the likelihood of success in university. “It’s hope for these kids, and it’s just an incredible opportunity. It allows them to pursue a career where otherwise they may not have been able,” Brown said. Mentors not only play a big role in the development of Little Brothers, but they’re also fundamental in kids being chosen for scholarships, she said. “The mentor has to write about their experience with the child and why they think their Little Brother or Sister deserves to have this opportunity to reach their goals,” Brown said. “I can’t say enough about the strength of those relationships.” Sexsmith’s Big Brother, Caleb, introduced the teen to life behind the scenes at the University of Victoria, where he’s currently completing his PhD. They also spent countless hours playing sports, watching movies or heading downtown for a meal. “We have a relationship based on kindness and humour,” Sexsmith said. “It was just amazing to have someone close to my age with lots of energy.” To give back, Sexsmith is now a teen mentor with Big Brothers/Big Sisters. He’s also planning to study history or computer science at university in a few years. “I guess I’m like every parent: I want my son to fulfill his dreams,” Holmes says. “I’m so happy and grateful that he’ll have the opportunities that the scholarship provides.” Learn more at cibc.com/youthvision. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Mom does her best to give daughter a fashion sense It should come as no surprise that my younger daughter is taking a year off her fine arts degree to attend a 12-month fashion design program. From the day she set foot in Kindergarten, she exhibited signs of fashion … determination. I’ve heard some parents select and purchase clothes that their children actually wear. I used to see these children, splendidly groomed in cute, kid-sized versions of trendy clothes. It’s not that I’m particularly trendy myself, but I always assumed my children would inherit my taste in clothing (i.e., they’d wear little jeans and denim jackets; maybe a Canucks’ jersey once in awhile). But Sierra

Susan Lundy shunned my beloved denim and clung to her own unique sense of dress. The first sign that something was amiss occurred when I took her shopping, and she selected a dress for Kindergarten. A dress? “Sweetie, look at these cool jeans.” The dress had a black velour bodice (really? velour?) with little coloured buttons on the front and a multicoloured, mostly pink (pink!) flowery skirt. She clutched it as we drove home. She

found a pair of tights and a pair of little black (shiny!) shoes and wore the outfit to Kindergarten the next day. And the following day. And the day after. And so on. In fact, she would wear nothing else for six months. Same dress. Same tights. Same shoes. I tried luring her with other clothing, buying dresses and placing them in visible spots. But the growth of her wardrobe seemed to spur her determination to wear one dress. Once in a while I found myself hiding the dress or slipping it into the wash. “Can’t find it! How about one of your other 25 dresses?” Then I discovered she was hiding it, stuffing it in the bed or slipping it under a carefully placed

Today’s senior living communities are vibrant, active, resident focused communities, respectfully supporting the individuality of each resident. Each community has its own personality – just like all of us. Make no mistake – these are NOT the “Nursing Homes” your great aunt Mary used to live in! A good entry level community could be a Retirement Community. Sometimes these are also called Independent or Supportive Living Housing. These individual apartment style communities offer a large choice of services and amenities for the residents. Many new communities can be compared to a cruise ship or hotel environment, while still maintaining a comfortable, home environment. Most retirement communities include a beautifully appointed dining room, private dining room, social rooms, theatre, library, fitness areas, etc. The ‘hospitality’ services you can expect include meals, laundry, cleaning, social and recreation programs, 24-hour emergency response and transportation. There are also some optional fee-for-services made available as per your needs such as hair salon, aesthetics, massage, personal laundry, etc.

I danced a little jig of happiness around the house. A short time later we attended a niece’s birthday party where my mother-in-law excitedly brought out a bag. She explained that the child of a friend saw this dress and wanted Sierra to have it. Coincidence or bad karma? It was an identical dress. Sierra was thrilled; I admitted defeat. A year later she attached herself to a single pair of Osh Kosh overalls; thankfully I found an identical pair in one size larger around Christmas time, because by then, she had gone through both knees and was close to bursting through the back side. Every September, as school rolled around, I thought, this is it. This year, she will wear a variety of clothes (specifically, jeans and a denim jacket). But every year, she found another attachment. Shuddering, I sent her off to Grade 3 one morning wearing three-quarter length pants, big purple, rubber boots and the blue (velour) shirt she’d been wearing for the past four weeks. But then I stopped short in the schoolyard, stunned as I looked around and saw the girls in Sierra’s class. All of them: short pants, velour shirts and boots. Sierra’s fashion “sense” had apparently caught on. And perhaps that’s not a bad thing to have on your fashion school resume.

Parents find way to unburden themselves

Since 1917

Featuring

Counselling can go a long way toward reducing one’s stress Don Descoteau News staff

The ability to talk to someone about problems in one’s life can be a huge relief for parents under stress. At the 1-Up Single Parent Resource Centre, counsellor and educational programs co-ordinator Cheryl Dick hears regularly from clients about life’s challenges, from problems with relationships to financial stressors to simply dealing with the emotional and physical workload that comes with being a single parent. For the most part, she says, it boils down to convincing people they have the resources within to get on the top side of issues that are causing them stress and anxiety. “Even though people are struggling, we certainly see how resilient people are or how resourceful they are,” she says. “Often it’s just reminding people about the strength they do have. You kind of get blindered when you’re in the middle of a crisis. In some ways it’s helping them get perspective again.” Communication issues and difficulties managing conflict are just two common themes with which Dyck helps clients. “There’s a lot of people who are struggling with relationships, whether that’s

es i r er e! b w her a r St are We now offer varieties of jams! More berry varieties to come! Boysenberries Loganberries Tayberries Blackberries Red Russian Garlic

with their ex-partner or someone else,” she says. “It can be relationships with family and friends, and even relationships with their kids, who may be starting to act out or are having anxiety over separating with their parents.” Many clients using the centre’s counselling services don’t have a broad social network or family nearby to relieve some of the workload. Poverty can play a role in the mental state of single parents as well, Dyck says. If a parent can’t afford to put their kids in sports, or perhaps can’t find a job that pays enough to cover daycare costs, it can lead to isolation. Seeking counselling can be a good way for any parent to unburden themselves of the pressures and stressors of daily life, Dyck says. “It really is a place where they can feel safe to get the load off their chest, whatever it is that’s irking them or taking up a lot of energy. They get a neutral place to sort that out. We can give them some practical things to think about … that helps them explore new options, helps them undo a stuck pattern.” While clients who receive one-on-one counselling at 1-Up must be registered members of the centre – there’s a six-month wait list for the service – other local organizations provide low-cost or sliding-scale counselling for parents in financial difficulties. Among them are Citizens Counselling, located in Quadra Village, and B.C. Families in Transition in

Finishing touches for a magnificent Mustang installation of original Ford front disc-brakes; these are a must in today’s traffic. Collector vehicle drivers are very cautious. Invariably when accidents occur, it is the drivers around you that are not paying attention or cutting you off. 360 have done their research and paid a lot of attention to detail during this rebuild, right down to avoiding the temptation of installing an exhaust

Our classic and collector car expert continues today with the third part of his four-part series on the restoration of public relations executive Laura Ballance’s rare 1967 Ford Mustang. The Mustang T5 body shell has been painted, clear coated, wet-sanded, recleared and finally polished to a show quality finish. Now comes the fun part of a restoration, the reassembly, opening boxes and fitting all of those new parts. This is as close as you can get to being a car factory assembly line worker except you are doing every task instead of just one, and you have all the time that is needed and you don’t have to work to the speed of a moving production line. One of the upgrades that the T5 will receive is a new product designed to dampen and suppress the driveline and road noise, making the inner cabin as quiet as possible and a bit like a modern car. The foil-covered pads have a peel-off backing and are adhered to every inner sheet metal panel such as the roof, floor, doors and

bulkhead. The next step is to install the new wiring harness; old wiring harnesses become brittle over time due to heat and corrosion at the joints and terminals, ask the owner of any British sports car from that era! The interior has been completely renewed from top to bottom staring with the headliner, trim panels, carpets and dash pads and the seats have all been reupholstered. Before the new back glass and windshield are installed (all of the other glass panels have been replaced) the new vinyl top is installed. Installing a vinyl roof is not a task that is performed very often these days, but

360 have the skills to do this in-house. LKQ stocks a huge selection of high quality muscle car sheet metal and parts. “If you are doing a premium muscle car restoration the only sheet metal you want to use is from LKQ,” said Rick Francoeur at 360. The exterior panels will soon have their final fitting. They have been fitted and removed during the restoration process countless times to make sure that the panel gaps are correct. The final fitting process will involve two or three people to make sure that the paint does not get chipped or damaged. Before the original V-8

engine was removed from the car it underwent a compression check, all of the cylinders had equal and strong readings so a complete re-build was not necessary. The carburetor has been replaced with a new two-barrel, the automatic transmission has been completely re-built, as has the rear axle. Rick talked Laura out of fitting a modern rack and pinion power steering kit or even upgrading the manual steering box to a power-assisted unit so it will be reliving the Armstrong steering experience for Laura when parking at low speeds! One safety upgrade is the

system with two tailpipes. Next week, we will explore what exactly a T5 is; how rare they are and explore some of the events that Laura and her brand new old car will attend in this 50th anniversary year of the Ford Mustang.

there are no carry-over body panels. A domed hood, bigger grille and new headlamps also give this Escape a slightly more aggressive look and it has better off-road attributes in terms of approach, breakover and departure angle capabilities. A base front-drive Escape XLS is powered by a 2.3-litre engine. Moving up a step, the XLT trim allowed a 3.0-litre V6 option and a tow package that bumped trailer-hauling capability to 1,588 kg (3500 lb). The top-line Limited came with leather, dual climate control air conditioning and Audiophile sound system, more power features, and the V6 engine. Four-wheel-drive was an option with every trim level. If an urban commute is your vehicles primary job and good fuel economy is important there’s also a hybrid version of the Escape. It has a smoother and quieter powertrain than the first generation Escape Hybrid,

Resale prices are reasonable and there’s typically a good supply of used Ford Escape models out there.

Paint that Nissan clean

Washing a car can be a chore and a costly one at that. In response, Nissan in Europe has begun tests on innovative paint technology that repels mud, rain and everyday dirt, meaning drivers may never have to clean their car again. The specially engineered super-hydrophobic and oleophobic paint, which repels water and oils, has been applied to the all-new European market Nissan Note to create the world’s first self-cleaning car. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Esquimalt concert series brings music to the park Kevin Laird News staff

It’ll be music to the ears. Esquimalt kicks off the Memorial Park Music Fest featuring Naden Band of Maritime Forces Pacific and celebrating St-Jean-Baptiste Day with the Victoria

Francophone Society. The six-week park concert series – a first for Esquimalt – launches June 24. “This is a kickoff to what we hope will be an environment to draw people to downtown Esquimalt, and enjoy music in the park,” said Morlene Tomlinson,

president of the Township Community Arts Council. “It’s a unique event for Esquimalt. We hope this will be an annual event.” The fit with the Naden Band and the francophone society is a natural to launch the music fest, said Tomlinson.

“(The arts council) is committed to promoting arts and culture in Esquimalt to help change the external view of the community. People who live in Esquimalt know it’s a fabulous place to live all ready.” St-Jean-Baptiste Day is a big celebration throughout the French world, including Quebec. The day marks the feast of St. John, a Jewish preacher who baptized Jesus in the River Jordan. The francophone society has hosted several St-Jean-Baptiste Day celebration over the years, but this is a first for Esquimalt, said cultural co-ordinator Marylene Saumier Demers. The activities begin at 3:30 p.m. with family entertainment. French music will begin on one of two stages from 4 to 5:30 p.m. and return from 8 to 9 p.m. Naden Band takes centre stage from 6 to 7: 30 p.m. and will feature “lively, upbeat and high temp music,” said Lt.

Condo Q

Questions answered on condo and strata living What is Condo Q? This is a new feature exclusively available in Black Press community newspapers. It is written by volunteers familiar with the Strata Property Act and strata living, from the Vancouver Island Strata Owners Association. VISOA provides services to all stratas in B.C. It is an independent, non-profit organization that was formed in 1973 and is supported solely by membership fees. Membership is open to all residential strata corporations that have registered with the B.C. Land Title Office. • Provides information to assist strata lot owners and strata councils in the management of their strata corporations. • Advances the interests of strata corporations and strata lot owners to provincial, regional and municipal governments. • Provides information and offers educational seminars on all aspects of strata management. If you have a question on strata living, send an email to condoQ@visoa.bc.ca and you may see your question answered in the column, although not every question can be answered due to space limitations. ••• Dear Condo Q: My condo building has a 55-plus age restriction. The strata council is proposing to change our bylaw to a 45-plus age restriction. Is that allowed? I thought human rights legislation said the only age restriction a strata could have is “seniors only.” P. Walters, Sidney Condo Q answers: The Strata Property Act was amended in 2009 to permit strata corporations to apply any age restriction to all owners, tenants, residents and occupants. The relevant section of the SPA is section 123, subsection (1.1). Section 123 of the Act is copied below for

your reference. Limits to pet and age bylaws 123 (1) A bylaw that prohibits a pet does not apply to a pet living with an owner, tenant or occupant at the time the bylaw is passed and which continues to live there after the bylaw is passed. (1.1) Without limiting a strata corporation’s power to pass any other bylaws, a strata corporation may pass a bylaw that restricts the age of persons who may reside in a strata lot. (2) A bylaw that restricts the age of persons who may

reside in a strata lot does not apply to a person who resides in the strata lot at the time the bylaw is passed and who continues to reside there after the bylaw is passed. Therefore, your strata corporation can amend your age restriction bylaw by a 3/4 vote in favour of the amendment at an annual or special general meeting. DISCLAIMER: This column is written by volunteers who are familiar with the Strata Property Act and experienced in dealing with strata

issues. The information provided is their best judgment and should not be construed as either legal or technical advice. For legal or technical advice, you should contact a lawyer or persons legally qualified to give advice within their field of expertise. ••• Vancouver Island Strata Owners Association is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing information and education to strata property owners.

Festival attendees enjoy a concert at Tall Tree Music Festival on Browns Mountain in 2013. This year’s festival includes Dan Mangan, The Dudes, Jon and Roy and dozens of other acts.

Tall Tree music festival returns, bigger and better Former development site serves as music mecca in June each year; Victoria News giving away weekend passes Natalie North News staff

Tall Tree Music Festival, Vancouver Island’s annual boutique festival of local and international acts, outgrew its original Port Renfrew site after the first iteration. Following the success of their fest, organizers went scouting a bigger venue and found themselves exploring logged land overlooking the town on Browns Mountain, a location, which despite some challenges, is flourishing five years later. “It was slated to be a development property, which never went through,” said festival cofounder Mike Hann. “We hiked up and came across what is now the site. We just saw it, saw the vision for it. If you’ve been up there you can understand why we chose it. The view is phenomenal and we’ve got room to grow.” And they have grown, with more camp sites and infrastructure added each year, amidst basic challenges such as lack of mobile phone reception or running water on the mountain. A natural spring now serves the site and with a third stage added this year – a tent devoted to the electronic programming – there are that many more engaging live activities than those found within the ever-present smartphone. The site is equipped with more food vendors, better waste management, more art and showers. Beyond the atmosphere atop the mountain, this year’s lineup

has a lot to do with the fastest ticket sales Hann’s seen to date, at more than 80 per cent of the approximately 2,200 tickets sold more than a month before the event. Better-known names such as Dan Mangan and The Dudes have been an obvious draw, Hann says, but it’s the lineup “sleepers,” such as Australian artist Pete Murray, Nashville-based Canadian Lindi Ortega, Vancouver’s SonReal, or electronic artist Tipper, that he hopes show-goers will take the time to research, and be surprised by. “This year more than ever, starting in October, we were getting emails from agents wanting to get their name on the Tall Tree bill,” Hann says. “It’s a credit to the artists who invested in it early on to develop the name as a great festival to be a part of in Canada.” One of those artists who has help raise the profile with postfest praise was Juno-winning producer/DJ crew A Tribe Called Red, who last year invited members of the Pacheedaht First Nation to the stage during their performance. It was a festival highlight for Hann. “For people who aren’t sure,” he says, “it’s probably gong to be one of the most unique concert experiences that you’ll ever have.” Tall Tree Music Festival also continues to uphold its environmental advocacy, with annual support given to the Ancient Forest Alliance.

Q: WHAT ARE SOME TIPS FOR SELLING MY HOME DURING THE SUMMER? Mow your lawn regularly – If you’re watering regularly, grass grows especially fast when the hot sun is beating down so make sure to keep it trim and tidy. Trim bushes and plant flowers if you have time and look into painting your house number on your curb. Keep it bright inside – Increase the perceived size of the home by opening it up, removing heavy drapes and pulling all your blinds up. The nose knows – Sometimes air fresheners can work against you. Vanilla can smell great, but it can overwhelm if not used sparingly. If needed, consider natural fragrances such as cut roses, flower petals.

SELLER’S TIP | Unless you’re motivated, don’t expect buyers to beat down your door in summer

Market heading into summer with a bang Balanced market good for buyers, sellers: VREB prez Don Descoteau News staff

When the numbers show continued growth in the real estate market, it’s hard not to be excited. May’s sales figures for the Greater Victoria region showed the best numbers since 2010, according to Victoria Real Estate Board president and active agent Tim Ayres. But the best of 2014 may well be yet to come. “I haven’t seen a start to June like this in a while,” he said this week, when asked for his thoughts on the state of the local market. “It’s healthy.” Forget the old expression about March coming in like a lion. Early sales for this month have local agents on pace to knock out the June 2013 numbers. That said, Ayers and others continue to describe the Capital Region housing market as “balanced,” meaning neither buyers nor sellers have the upper hand in negotiations. “It’s one of those funny markets,” he said. “You don’t really have the buyers beating down your door. At the same time, we don’t really see an end to the busy season.” From a cost perspective, prices are remaining fairly constant, with only a one-per-cent upward blip in the region’s benchmark price for a typical home. With no pressure up or down on

The selection of single family homes on the Greater Victoria real estate market is good, but well-priced, well-shown homes continue to sell quickly and command prices closest to asking price. price, and interest rates remaining low, there’s less chaos in the market and agents have more time to spend working with buyers to ensure they find a home that is the right fit, Ayers said. “Whether you’re a Realtor or a seller, you want to be sure the buyer wants your property. There’s less complications that way.” Bill Ethier, president of Royal LePage Coast Capital Realty, noted that when it’s a buyers or sellers’ market, it’s usually a sign that something not

so good is on the horizon. Having a balanced market helps “put confidence back in the marketplace,” he said. “These times are like a nice, stoked fire going along nicely,” Ethier said. “Buyers have a chance to look around and take time and be cautious, but at the same time we’re seeing multiple offers, like any market, if it shows well and is priced well, it’s going to go quickly.” He said the $450,000 to $600,000 price range continues to be the

sweet spot for sales in the region. Helping keep the market on an even keel is the absence of impending regulatory changes, such as the shorter amortization periods from late 2012 that prompted many people to jump into the market quickly ahead of that change. The relatively low cost of borrowing helps too, he said. “We’ve been told we can’t maintain these low rates forever, but we’ve had this for four years now.” ddescoteau@vicnews.com

Crown Prosecutor said he targeted the most vulnerable consumers, such as recent immigrants who had poor English. There was deliberate planning to perpetrate each fraud – finding a low priced vehicle, rolling back the odometer, detailing to improve the appearance of the vehicle, creating a false history, finding a suitable “victim,” forging official documents and tax fraud.

A rare Ford Mustang T5 ready to make its public bow

Nigel Matthews Our classic and collector car expert continues today with the final part of his four-part series on the restoration of public relations executive Laura Ballance’s rare 1967 Ford Mustang T5 by 360 Fabrication in Abbotsford. The restoration story of Laura Ballance’s Mustang T5 has been an interesting to follow and one that is

not typical of this kind of project. Before I get carried away telling you what a T5 actually is, I have to report that with the help of the team at 360 Fabrication, suppliers White and Peters, BASF paint and the 200 plus hours of paint preparation, application, wet sanding and polishing by master painter Darren Emmerson, the car is finished! And here is the best part, it’s on time

and under budget, almost unheard of in days gone by let alone today. So what is so special about a T5 Mustang? – The Ford Mustang could not be sold in Germany as a Mustang because a truck manufacturer there and later a motorcycle manufacturer owned the trademarked name Mustang. Both manufacturers offered to sell the rights to Ford for $10,000 each but Ford

declined and decided the solution would be to use the initial Mustang project name T5 as the solution. With all of the changes

required, they should have probably paid the $10,000. With there being so many U.S. armed forces bases in Germany, export models were highly sought after. Laura had no idea how rare her car was until she decided to embark on this project and began doing her research. The T5 registry has informed Laura that of the 453 Mustang Hardtop T5s built in 1967, hers is one of the few examples ordered with a vinyl roof, which is listed as an option in the V.I.N tag. There are only two T5s known to exist in Canada, hers and one in Ontario and only 45 have survived in various states of condition worldwide. It is going to be a busy summer for Laura, her two

daughters and the Mustang. I suspect her father, never in his wildest dreams would have thought the car would end up as a show car let alone become a family affair involving three generations of his family. The T5 will debut at the Vancouver Classic Car Show and Auction at the PNE on June 21 and 22. A picture of it at it’s gleaming best in next week’s Driveway preview of that show. Then it will head south in July to the Mustang Roundup in Bellevue, Washington, the world’s largest Mustang meet. The car is entered in the Concours restoration class and should place well. Because this is the 50th anniversary of the Mustang the invitations are pouring

in, the most recent one from an event in North Carolina, Laura still has a day job so unfortunately will miss that one. She will finish the summer off at the Luxury SuperCar weekend at VanDusen Gardens in September. The car will be viewed at least 30 or 31 times in a month, gracing the walls of garages and repair shops all over North America featured in a 2015 Ford calendar. This concludes a restoration project with a happy conclusion. Nigel Matthews is the director of sales and marketing for Hagerty Insurance Canada. nmatthews@hagerty.com

An electrifying and smart choice Zack Spencer

Which cars on the market today don’t I like? It’s a question I’m often asked and one I struggle to answer. Today’s automobiles are made so well, there are no real turkeys. But, and there is always a “but”, there are certainly cars I like more than others and some I prefer not to drive.

The regular Smart ForTwo is one of them. The small dimensions are perfect as a city runabout but the lethargic gasoline engine and very choppy automatic transmission make it more work to drive than I prefer. Well, after driving the latest Smart ForTwo Electric Drive (Smart Electric) my mood has changed to the point that this might be the best little electric car for the city, it’s that good.

The Smart Electric looks like the regular Smart, with a compact little body that provides and amazing amount of interior space and a lot of crash protection on the outside. The exterior of all the Smart Cars have been designed as a singular safety cage, called the Tridion Safety Cell. Other cars have exterior panels that absorb impacts the Smart’s exterior metal bits are

the strongest part of the car. In crash tests, these tiny cars fare well. The Smart Electric, just like the gasoline version, is available as a coupe or cabriolet. Spotting a Smart Electric is a bit tricky; this is not like buying a Toyota Prius or Chevy Volt. No, this little dynamo blends right in. It is only a small decal on the side with the emblem of a plug or the subtle badge on that back that gives anything away.

My nine-year-old son Charlie really wanted to go for a ride not because it’s electric but because he had never been in a Smart Car before and wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Since there are only two seats, he could place his seat back as far as he liked and had vast amounts of leg room. He also commented on the large cargo shelf behind the two front seats for storage. The cabin is tall and we both had a commanding view down the road. The rest of the cabin is re-

I’ve seen. Most companies just leave a bag in the trunk, while this system hides it all away. With a starting price of $26,990 for the coupe or $29,990, the Smart Electric is an expensive two-seat car but a bargain the electric world, the least expensive in Canada. The regular gasoline Smart is really an inner-city runabout, which is why the electric version makes so much sense. With up to 138km of range, this Smart Electric will have more than enough range for existing Smart buyers and a great second car for any city family. The Smart electric is now on my list of cars that I truly enjoy driving, the best Smart of the bunch.

BLACK PRESS GREATER VICTORIA- Friday, June 13, 2014

Off-roading requires careful preparation Off-roading is a popular pastime but it is amazing how many people arrive in the backwoods ill prepared for what should be a fun adventure. Here are a few tips on offroad driving; If you are driving in rocky terrain it is important to have sufficient ground clearance and proper suspension travel. High ground clearance allows the larger rocks to pass underneath without contacting vulnerable vehicle components while good suspension travel allows the wheels to remain in contact with the ground. Independent suspension usually provides a smoother ride in this type of road, but its design limits the wheel travel and ground clearance available. Rocky terrain should be traveled at low speeds to minimize vehicle contact with the terrain. While independent front

suspension generally provides a smoother ride, it has a variable ground clearance to the front differential. As the front wheels hit a bump, the wheels rise up to absorb the bump. However the differential remains in the same position, reducing the ground clearance under it. This can result in the differential hitting the ground, even though the object was only half the height of the ground clearance. Live axle front suspension does not provide as smooth a ride as independent front suspension. Many live axle suspensions are now fitted with coils rather than leaf suspension, which improves the ride. The advantage of live axles when off road is that when the wheels hit a bump, the whole axle rises with the wheels to absorb the bump. This maintains the same clearance from the differential to the ground. While this is an advantage off-road, the weight of the

Prosecuting ‘Curbers’ is costly to the taxpayer continued from page 2

As the buyers were “complicit” in the fraud, there was no consumer restitution for 12 of the 15 counts. They agreed to false documentation to save on taxes – a common practice used by curbers. This makes consumers fearful to go to authorities when something goes awry. He received a one-year conditional sentence (effectively house arrest, except for medical emergencies or to work, with the terms easing as the year pro-

gresses). He also agreed to perform 100 hours of community service. I’m indebted to the Vehicle Sales Authority of BC for providing the research necessary for produce last week’s typical curber profile story and today’s account of real scams. Please, if you don’t want to buy from an established dealership, do your due diligence as to the registration and condition of the vehicle you plan to buy. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

as turning at an angle to a downhill ledge may result in a side rollover. Travelling on long sections of gravel roads can lull the driver into a false sense of security. Most four-wheel drives can make a rough road seem smooth with their smooth suspension and quiet interiors. Speed creep can occur in these circumstances

pressurizes the cab of the vehicle, and helps reduce the amount of dust sucked into the vehicle. When another vehicle approaches, move the ventilation control to re-circulate to stop dusty air coming in. Remember to move the ventilation back to outside air once you have passed or else the pressurization effect will be gone. The interior is already experiencing some very dry conditions and with predictions of a serious fire season ahead please do your part not to be carless and report any fire to 1-800-663-5555 or *5555. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

in terms of approach, breakover and departure angle capabilities. A base front-drive Escape XLS is powered by a 2.3-litre engine. Moving up a step, the XLT trim allowed a 3.0-litre V6 option and a tow package that bumped trailer-hauling capability to 1,588 kg (3500 lb). The top-line Limited came with leather, dual climate control air conditioning and Audiophile sound system, more power features, and the V6 engine. Four-wheel-drive was an option with every trim level. If an urban commute is your vehicles primary job and good fuel economy is important there’s also a hybrid version of the Escape. It has a smoother and quieter powertrain than the first generation Escape Hybrid, introduced in 2003, and its city-driven fuel economy rating is an ultra-frugal 5.7 L/100 km. It was also available in both front-drive and four-wheel-drive. While stability control was standard on all gas-engine versions of the ’08 Escape, it wasn’t available on the Hybrid. Same story for a related new safety feature on the ’08, called Roll Stability Control (RSC). Particularly useful on taller vehicles, the RSC system automatically responds when a potential rollover is detected, by selectively applying brakes and/or decreasing the engine torque. Both of these important active safety features were made standard on the ‘09 and newer Escape Hybrid. The ’09 model year also brought big changes under-hood. A new 2.5-litre

4-cylinder engine, a modified version of the 3.0-litre V6, two new transmissions and the hybrid got an even more refined drivetrain with an Atkinson cycle gasoline engine. The new five-speed manual transmission, in combination with the 4-cylinder engine, was only available in Escape models sold in Canada. The Escape Hybrid is a full hybrid and capable of running purely on electric power up to about 40 km/ hour. It also uses a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Although it doesn’t function with a conventional gear set, it still offers a lowrange setting for challenging terrain. The 2010 model year brought trim upgrades to Escape and all models got standard Blind Spot Mirrors. A top-line Limited trim was added to Escape Hybrid offerings and an Auto Park System, which automatically steers the Escape into a parallel parking spot, was a new option. Ford Escape was essentially unchanged for 2011 and 2012, other than some new exterior colours and option packages. The 2012 model was the final year of this generation Ford Escape. The Escape’s reliability is generally rated average to better than average and repair costs are generally lower-than-average, according to Consumer Reports. The Hybrid edition typically rates a little better. Resale prices are reasonable and there’s typically a good supply of used Ford Escape models out there. You can expect to

Safety Recalls

2008 to 2012 Ford Escape: 2008/2009/2010/2011/ 2012: A fault in the Electric Power Steering (EPS) system could result in a sudden loss of power steering assist, without warning to the driver. This would significantly increase the effort required by a driver to steer at lower vehicle speeds. Dealers will affect repairs as necessary and reprogram the EPS controller with updated software. 2010: The automatic transmission’s park rod guide retention pin may not have been properly installed. This may prevent the transmission park pawl from engaging when shifted into “PARK” and allow vehicle movement. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, install the missing park rod guide retention pin. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca
