Farmers issue challenge to civic candidates Municipal Farm Challenge asks local candidates to pledge protection for ALR

Daniel Palmer News staff

One of the region’s most prominent farmers is throwing down the gauntlet to Capital Region municipal candidates by asking them to publicly pledge to protect farmland. Nathalie Chambers, who runs the 11-hectare Madrona Farm on Blenkinsop Road with her husband, will host the first Municipal Farmland Challenge to coincide with the

farm’s annual Chef Survival Challenge on Sept. 7. “We’re inviting all councillors who have a good record of protecting farmland as well as new candidates to take part,” Chambers says. Once at Madrona, the friendly competition will see politicians turn soil and plant a row of crops. After a winner is declared, each participant will pledge support on video for the protection of the Capital Region’s supply of arable land.

“Saanich is so good with protecting farmland, but many municipalities aren’t,” Chambers says. “We’re some of the highest food bank users in B.C. Our failure of food security is right here in our backyard.” Central Saanich Coun. Zeb King is already firmly behind the pledge event. He said the province is weakening the Agricultural Land Reserve, and that means active farmland protection is even more crucial in urban areas.

Tastes so Gouda!

King said municipal land use bylaws and other local authority can “determine whether or not urban sprawl will be allowed to intrude further into our region’s finest and most fertile arable land.” Chambers hopes all the region’s mayors sign up for the event. Sign up for the event as a candidate or simply as a foodie on the Chef Survival Challenge website at chefsurvivalchallenge.ca.

Councillor freed from SPCA lockup Charlayne Thornton-Joe spends day in dog kennel in BCSPCA fundraiser Drew McLachlan News staff

Drew McLachlan/News staff

Victoria Coun. Charlayne Thornton-Joe spent the day locked in a BC SPCA dog kennel, along with Maximus, to raise money for the organization as part of Paws for a Cause.

Victoria city councillor and animal lover Charlayne Thornton-Joe spent the day locked in a dog kennel Tuesday as the BCSPCA issued a $2,500 ransom to her family and colleagues as a term for her release. Thornton-Joe spent three hours in the kennel, waiting with its resident dog Maximus as donations started pouring in. After initial success, she chose to have her ransom raised from $2,500 to $3,500, and managed to collect $3,510 by the time of her release. “The SPCA reached out to me because they know I’m an animal lover, and they wanted to test how big my love for animals is,” Thornton-Joe said. The funds raised will go towards a range of services the BCSPCA provides, including investigations into animal cruelty, emergency rescue and treatment of injured animals, sheltering and adoption of homeless animals and low-cost spay/neuter programs among others. The BCSPCA’s annual Paws for a Cause walk takes place Sept. 7 at Clover Point. Registration opens at 10 a.m. followed by the walk at 11:30 a.m. reporter@vicnews.com

Teachers strike threatens to delay school start Jeff Nagel Black Press

B.C. students are just days away from the scheduled start of a new school year but there’s little sign of a break in the teachers strike that has dragged on through the summer. The final week of summer holiday opened Sunday with a demand in Kamloops from B.C. Teachers Federation president Jim Iker for an immediate start to mediation. No formal bargaining dates are scheduled, but Iker, Education Minister Peter Fassbender and government negotiator Peter Cameron were to meet Wednesday afternoon in Victoria, raising hopes for some movement. Teachers have also stepped up

picketing as both sides prepare for the strike to stretch into September. A mass rally outside the premier’s Vancouver cabinet offices is also set for Sept. 5. Veteran mediator Vince Ready is monitoring the talks and has indicated he will step into full mediation if it would be productive to do so. Both sides blame the other for a gulf between positions that’s too wide for Ready to attempt to bridge. The province says the teachers’ pay and benefits demands remain far in excess of settlements reached with other public sector unions. Teachers, meanwhile, accuse the government of insisting on preconditions to talks that would

unravel the union’s past court victories over the province on the stripping of contract terms on class size and special needs support. The province is appealing the latest court ruling against it. Also gaining prominence in recent days has been an opt-out clause that the government has tabled that would allow either side to terminate a new collective agreement if it dislikes the ultimate court outcome from either the B.C. Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court of Canada. An education mininstry spokesman said he was surprised it has become an issue now. It was disclosed in mid-June by government negotiators who pitched it as a “pragmatic and creative” way to give the union

comfort it wouldn’t be handed a massive defeat in court and could therefore shelve those issues and negotiate an interim agreement while the appeal proceeds. But a BCTF spokesman said it’s the province not teachers who want an escape hatch, adding it suggests the government fears it will lose in court again and is seeking to block that outcome. He credited BCTF members on Twitter for bringing the clause into public focus. The Liberal government has promised to pay parents $40 a day for each child under 13 who misses school if the strike continues. Various organizations and businesses are scaling up their day camp and other supervised care offerings for September in antici-

pation of a continued school shutdown. The province also promised Tuesday to cover supported child development costs for in-school hours for special needs children now accessing services. Fassbender on Monday reiterated the government’s position that it has no desire to legislate the teachers back to work. The lumpsum payouts to parents following the end of the strike will consume all of the $12 million a day in strike savings the government would have amassed going forward. Parents can sign up for the payments at bcparentinfo.ca, a government-created website that seeks to prepare parents for an ongoing strike this fall. editor@vicnews.com

To say Lisa Helps got a head start in this year’s civic election would be an understatement. Helps declared herself a candidate for mayor in the Nov. 15 municipal election on Jan. 1. Since then, she’s been quietly, according to some, putting together a campaign team, fundraising and door-knocking. But Helps says she’s been anything but quiet as she attempts to unseat Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin. “We moved into our Fort Street campaign office, have 173 volunteers ready to go and fundraising has been very successful,” Helps said. So far, Helps is the only official candidate in the race. Fortin is expected to announce next week, although he did say he would seek re-election in a media interviews last year. He refused to talk about his re-election plan this week. Also rumoured to be considering a run is Ida Chong. Chong lost her Oak Bay-Gordon Head seat in the last election to Andrew Weaver of the B.C. Green Party. But the mayor’s race isn’t the

only one heating up. There will be at least two vacancies on city council with the announcement that firsttime councillor Shellie Gudgeon won’t seek re-election. Helps’ council seat is the other vacancy. Marianne Alto, Chris Coleman, Ben Isitt, Pam Madoff, Charlayne Thornton-Joe and Geoff Young all plan to seek re-election. Helps said her run for the mayoralty has been two years in the making, and the Jan. 1 announcement was part of a strategy to be open and transparent and as a result of Fortin saying he would seek the city top elected position. “To me Jan. 1 was the beginning of the election year and it was time to let people know my

Lisa Helps

intentions.” Helps said she’ll run her election campaign on leadership and open government. Meanwhile in Esquimalt, Mayor Barb Desjardins told the News earlier this month she will seek re-election to the township’s top job, while councillors Meagan Brame, Tim Morrison and David Schinbein will also seek the electorate nod. Dave Hodgins, Lynda Hundleby and Robert McKie remain undecided. klaird@blackpress.ca

OUR VIEW

Long way to go for mental illness Few can argue – successfully, anyway – against the statement that mental illness touches everyone. There are, of course, those with the diagnosis. Then there are their children, siblings, parents, friends and co-workers. Even complete strangers are often hit with the ripples, as society is forced to bear the burden of missed work days, medical visits, inadequate treatment options, etc. It doesn’t matter that research has led to many strategies and treatments that, when adhered to, can help sufferers live productive, even normal, lives. Perhaps if it felt easier to talk openly about mental illness, things would be different. For those directly affected, it can feel simpler to try to ignore the reality – to keep the door closed and the windows shuttered, so to speak. Not the healthiest approach, really, but common nonetheless. And while time has led to strides in the realm of mental illness, it has done less for society’s acceptance of it as a disease. Many worthwhile stories do not get told in these pages because of the stigma attached to mental illness; the fear people have of being branded by going public with their struggle. ‘Mental illness’ is still two words that, despite so-called progress, few afflicted with the likes of depression or schizophrenia or paranoia dare to mutter outside – sometimes even inside – their immediate family. Make no mistake, there are tireless advocates in Victoria and Esquimalt for the mentally ill. Many of these individuals are parents, siblings, friends or colleagues of those living with a mental illness. A few are those individuals themselves, who have taken that brave step into the spotlight. All know firsthand the impact of the conditions. They know the difference that acceptance – both of the conditions and the person trying to live a balanced, productive life with them – makes, and we can all learn from them. But there is still a long way to go. No one should feel the need to hide something they cannot control. The reality is, many of us share the blame for the fact so many people do. The News is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

YOUR VIEW

Enough of the sewage folly Re: CRD’s desperate leadership (Your View, Aug. 22) While I agree with Esquimalt councillor Tim Morrison that the Capital Regional District couldn’t possibly have handled the sewage treatment issue any more arrogantly or incompetently, I think it should be noted in fairness that the CRD is not solely responsible for this mess. The federal and provincial governments also deserve a big share of the blame. Indeed, the Great Sewage Fiasco in Victoria is a classic example of what happens when government officials at all levels make decisions based, not on reason and evidence, but on political optics and pseudoscientific flim-flam. As University of Victoria health economist Rebecca Warburton pointed out in a paper” “The professional assessments of marine scientists from B.C. and Washington state, public health officials and engineers, that the present discharge of screened effluent via deep-sea outfalls is cost-effective and causes minimal damage to the marine environment, have been ignored. Forcing the capital region to move to land-based sewage treatment is a triumph of optics over evidence.” We should heed the advice of

Do you plan to get out of town for the last long weekend of the summer? Answer online at www.vicnews.com

independent experts on this issue, such as former federal environment minister David Anderson, and not waste one more dime on this lunacy. Let’s hope the CRD board that emerges after the Nov. 15 civic elections finally does what should have been done at the outset: challenge in court the current federal Environment Ministry’s ridiculous ruling that land-based secondary sewage treatment is required in this area. It is bad enough $65 million has already been flushed down the toilet, so to speak. Let’s put an end to this folly before hundred of millions of dollars more get pooped away. Gordon Pollard Victoria

As politicians hesitantly debate its future, one option should be explored: run the railway as a “preserved railway,” using the successful United Kingdom model. Today, in the U.K., there are more

than 50 standard gauge and over 20 narrow gauge preserved railways in operation, offering scheduled passenger services with many operating all year round. The preserved railways were created by groups of people wanting to retain and operate local and historic railways, many using steam locomotives. The E&N preservation society could be the umbrella group to operate and maintain the railway, offering live steam excursion; Via Rail passenger operation; a scheduled freight service; and a commuter railway for Greater Victoria. Far fetched? No, as many U.K. preserved railways successfully do the same thing. What is most important is that a preserved E&N Railway would not only be a regional railway or tourism and movie industry generator, it would be a jobs generator. The financial spin-off from a preserved E&N, from jobs to increasing business potential, would be tremendous. Supporting a preserved E&N railway, would be supporting a continuing and viable economy on Vancouver Island. Malcolm Johnston Delta

Esquimalt goes to war

Township men among first to sign up to fight in First World War Greg Evans Municipal Archivist

“Some wars name themselves. This is the Great War. It names itself.” This quote from the October 1914 edition of MacLean’s Magazine refers to what is now more generally known as the First World War. The war broke out 100 years ago and was a conflict on an enormous scale. It is esti-

mated that 70 million military personnel were mobilized around the world. Given advancements in industrial technology and the horrific nature of trench warfare, the First World War was one of the bloodiest conflicts in world history, with more than nine million combatants and six million civilians killed. When Great Britain declared war on Ger-

many on Aug. 4, 1914, the Dominion of Canada, as part of the British Empire, was automatically drawn into the conflict. At the time, foreign policy decisions were in the hands of the British government and although Canada was drawn into the war, the level of involvement was left to the Canadian government. Locally, news of the war was met with

enthusiasm. A sense of patriotic duty prevailed as many wanted to serve their country in time of need. On Aug. 5, the Colonist declared “Canadians Are Ready To Serve – News of Declaration of War Causes Demonstrations of Patriotism in Cities – Thousands of Men Volunteer.” Three days later, almost as a harbinger of things to come, the newspaper reported “Local Fund For Hospital Ship – Victorian in Mass Meeting Unanimously Endorse Patriotic Proposal of Daughters of Empire’ – an effort to purchase and equip a Canadian hospital ship. By the fall of 1914, thousands of young Canadians had taken up the call to arms and eventually more than 400,000 would serve overseas. Many were from Esquimalt who signed up at various locations, including Work Point or at recruiting stations set up in Esquimalt and Victoria. Esquimalt residents who were elsewhere at the time, signed up as far away as Vernon, Valcartier and even at Shorncliffe in England itself. Some were already serving in the regular army but had to give up their positions and sign on with the Canadian Expeditionary Force because at war’s outbreak, it was declared that it would be a volunteer force. Soon, many would face unbelievable conditions of war on the European continent. ••• Greg Evans is Esquimalt’s municipal archivist.

Five student worthy cars under ten grand By Bob McHugh

Finding five used cars under ten grand doesn’t sound like too big a challenge, until a “for a college student” stipulation is added. In my mind, this adds a few requirements as the car has to be, easy on fuel, reliable, easy to park, good on gas, thrives on abuse, room for friends, room for a bike and camping gear, super fuel efficient ... and look good! So, bearing in mind the last requirement is a highly subjective one and ignoring the (no brainer) most popular car in Canada (Honda Civic), here are five vehicle suggestions – in no particular order:

Pontiac Vibe (2010 or older): Although the Pontiac Vibe looks different, you also know this compact 4-door hatchback as the Toyota Matrix. A joint (GM/Toyota) production venture ended with the 2010 model year, as did the Pontiac brand. The resale value of a Vibe is generally lower than a same year/condition Matrix, or conversely, you may be able to buy a newer/lower mileage Vibe. The ’09 Vibe was a second generation redesign and a slightly bigger model

that came in front-drive and all-wheeldrive editions, and in base and GT trim levels. The base engine is a gas-miser 1.8-litre (132 horsepower) and a 2.4-litre (158 horsepower) engine comes in the AWD and GT models. Fuel consumption (1.8L/FWD): 8.0/6.2 L/100 km (city/highway) Fuel consumption (2.4L/AWD): 10.3/7.8 L/100 km (city/highway)

Honda Fit (2010 or older): The Honda Fit is a small, but taller, 4-door hatchback that was introduced for the 2007 model year and came in DX, LX and Sport trim levels. Its seats can be reconfigured in an amazing variety of ways and there’s even a couch/bed recliner position. The 2009 model was a second generation redesign with a more powerful 117 horsepower (up from 109-horsepower) 1.5-litre engine that’s mated to either a five-speed manual transmission or optional five-speed automatic. In the Sport edition, this automatic also comes with paddle shift gear selection at the steering wheel. Fuel consumption (1.5L/FWD): 7.1/5.5 L/100 km (city/highway)

Jeep Patriot (2010 or older): The Patriot could also be called “Jeep Light”, as it’s an affordable, compact yet capable SUV/wagon that’s surprisingly fuel-efficient. Available in both frontdrive and four-wheel-drive configurations, Jeep launched Patriot for the 2007 model year and it’s a good match of an active lifestyle young person that enjoys the outdoors. Patriot came in Sport, North and Limited trim levels and the base engine is a 2.0-litre that can produce 158-horsepower and 2.4-litre that can produce 172 horsepower is the upgrade. The transmissions offered were a 5-speed manual transmission or a fuel-efficient CVT (continuously variable transmission) automatic. If serious 4-wheeling is contemplated look for models with a trail-rated Freedom II off-road package that adds protective skid plates, etc. The downside is increased weight and higher fuel consumption.

Nissan Versa (2011 or older): The Nissan Versa may look small on the outside, but this four-door sedan or hatchback has an amazing amount of space on the inside. The extra head and leg room provided make it a very good match for a taller or bigger than average young person. Versa offers seating for four (squeeze five) full-sized adults and extra-large rear passenger doors also make getting in or out easier. The lower-priced sedan comes with a 1.6-litre (107-horsepower) engine and a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic. The hatchback comes with a 1.8-litre (122-horsepower) engine and a 6-speed manual, 4-speed automatic or a CVT automatic. Prior to 2010, a base Versa didn’t come with ABS (anti-lock braking system), and electronic stability control wasn’t even offered as an option. Its electronic-assist steering has an extra-light feel and it can turn on a (10.4 m) dime, making Versa an easy vehicle to park. Fuel consumption (1.6L/FWD): 7.7/5.8 L/100 km (city/highway – 5 Manual) Fuel consumption (1.8L/FWD): 8.5/6.2 L/100 km (city/highway – 4 Automatic) Fuel consumption (1.8L/FWD): 7.3/5.8 L/100 km (city/highway - CVT)

Fuel consumption (2.0L/FWD): 8.9/6.9 L/100 km (city/highway) Fuel consumption (2.4L/4WD): 9.9/8.2 L/100 km (city/highway)

Mazda3 (2009 or older): The first generation Mazda3 (2004 to 2009) set a new performance standard in the economy car segment. Sold as a four-door sedan or a (sportier) five-door hatchback, the Mazda3 has been a huge sales success in Canada. The four-door sedan editions of this Mazda3 come with (148-horsepower) 2.0-litre engine and in GX and GS trim levels. Sedan GT and (hatchback) Mazda3 Sport come in GS and GT trim levels and with a (156-horsepower) 2.3-litre engine, with more torque at lower engine speeds. A height adjustable, good supporting driver’s seat plus a standard tilt and telescopic steering column make the Mazda3’s driving position particularly praiseworthy. It definitely offers the best driving experience, but popularity also makes Mazda3 the priciest pick of this group. Fuel consumption (2.0L/FWD): 8.4/6.1 L/100 km (city/highway) Fuel consumption (2.3L/FWD): 9.5/6.8 L/100 km (city/highway)

Reviewing the attributes of these car leads me to suggest there’s at least one suitable for anybody on a budget. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Taking the rocky mountain way To say the drive from Vancouver to Calgary offers scenic vistas galore would be an understatement. And the opportunity to drive it the all-new 2015 Volkswagen GTI made it still more irresistible an opportunity. Time constraints allowed only for the most direct route there; taking the Trans-Canada, the 3, the 5 and then again onto the Highway 1. Appreciating the incredible topographical features the Trans Canada has to offer is something I don’t always do. But with a passenger from Ontario ogling the scenery changes, it made me proud to live in such a spectacular place. Okay, I was a lot proud. Whether driving surrounded by lush, emerald vegetation, desert or engulfed in mountain, there was no shortage of ocular stimulation in our 360 view. Furthermore, the GTI is no sleeper either. In fact, it’s probably my favourite VW on the market. And it got a lot better for 2015. Now in its seventh generation, it’s lighter than Golf Mk6, bigger, more T:8.5” T:8.5” fuel efficient, more powerful, and just more awesome. For a starting T:8.5” T:8.5”

The GTI builds on its razor sharp handling, improves the suspension and allows the driver to still have a great time behind the wheel. Not to mention, the 6-speed manual gearbox – it also comes in a 6-speed DSG automatic – is as smooth in shifts as can be. Being stuck in city traffic isn’t ideal, but when you can rev the engine a little higher, wait to shift and breathe in the excitement of the turbocharged ponies, what more can you ask for? You could also ask for beautiful scenery. Check. Prior to Revelstoke, if you’re heading east, there’s 3 Valley Gap. It appears almost out of nowhere. Looking like a cross between a Swiss chalet – no, not the place where you get a quarter chicken dinner – and an establishment you might recall from a Stephen King novel, this building that has more than 200 rooms reflects effortlessly on the lake in front of it. With the mountains towering over, the heritage ghost town certainly has some, er, charm. However, the strongest charm in the drive comes from the GTI. You could even say it’s the grandfather, or the inspiration for the term “hot hatch.” It’s not only hot in appearance, but in personality. It’s a car that does everything and does it well. It’s quiet at highway speeds. It’s tame in traffic, but inspiring on the twisty roads. And even on the track. It can also be entertaining. With the promise of wildlife “for the next 3 km,” my driving partner and I eagerly anticipated the sighting of some sort of horned mammal. A mountain goat would do. We’d even be okay with a bear. But alas, no such luck. Not even with a jaunt through Banff National Park. That’s okay, the premium Fender audio system did a good job of distracting our melancholy thoughts from the lack of wildlife sightings to the musical stylings of rock and roll. The adventure was fun, the surroundings breathtaking, and then mixing it with a car that has the complete package? Now that’s a road trip to remember.

Continued from previous page

Roadworthy:

While driving this Ford Transit Connect you feel like you’re driving a 2WD Ford Ranger. You’re able to manouevre around vehicles in tight parking lots and park in small parking spots, the only difference is you have a walk in cargo box on the back. This van would be perfect to convert into a special purpose van; it would be easy to add a wheel chair ramp or a lift without having to do too much modification.

Verdict:

All though this van has been available in the UK for many years, it has only been available in North American since 2011. The popularity of the Transit has increased substantially its introduction thanks to its versatility and size. It is here to stay.

ICBC seek 5.2 percent basic rate hike Jeff Nagel Black Press

ICBC is asking regulators to approve a 5.2 per cent increase in basic auto insurance rates. The public auto insurer said the rate hike would cost the average customer an extra $40 per year if approved by the B.C. Utilities Commission. The rate hike is to take effect Nov. 1 on an interim basis while the BCUC reviews the application. A previously approved 5.2 per cent rate hike that took effect in 2013-14 means drivers will soon be paying 10.4 per cent more than they did in 2012 for basic coverage. ICBC blamed the latest increase on a continued rise in injury claims costs paid to crash victims for pain and suffering, future care and lost wages. Bodily injury claims hit $1.9 billion in 2013, up $73 million from 2012 and by more than $500 million from five years earlier. Legal and medical costs are also up. Drivers’ rapidly growing use of cellphones and other personal electronic devices behind the wheel is one of the factors ICBC cited for the rise in injury claims. Distracted driving is the second leading cause of fatal car crashes in B.C. – killing 88 people a year – and is the leading cause of rear-end crashes that often cause injuries, spokesman Adam Grossman said. A new campaign against distracted driving is to roll out in September. Grossman was unable to provide details justifying why basic rates should be 10.4 per cent higher than 2012 when the injury claim cost increase

Drivers using smart phones and other electronics behind the wheel are getting some of the blame for ICBC’s rising injury claim costs. The auto insurer wants to raise basic rates again. from 2012 to 2013 was only four per cent. The full rate hike application is to be filed Friday. Consumers Association of Canada president Bruce Cran said it continues a pattern of steeper increases in basic rates on which ICBC has a monopoly but more restraint on optional coverage rates where it must compete. He also took aim at the provincial government’s continued raiding of ICBC coffers for general revenue. The province has budgeted to pull $200 million from ICBC this year, $155 million next year and $125 million in 2016, down from $237 million in 2013 and $576 million in 2010. Cran said he doesn’t “give a damn” about ICBC and government claims the yearly dividends to the province come only from the optional side and don’t affect basic rates. “We see it as one corporation,” he said. “As long as they’re stealing our money by the million by transferring it into government revenues, no matter which division they claim it from, we are being gouged as a public.” Cran called it a stealth tax on people who drive vehicles that is “absolutely disgraceful.”

CELEBRATE LABOUR DAY

Monday Monday September 1, 2014 September 1, 2014

Inner Harbour hosts many activities Drew McLachlan News staff

Between classic boats and modern blues, there will be lots to see, do and listen to at the Inner Harbour on Labour Day weekend. The Vancouver Island Blues Bash, hosted by the Victoria Jazz Society, will be celebrating its 20th anniversary with a range of free and ticketed concerts at Ship Point. Free concerts will take place from Saturday to Monday, beginning at noon. Each day will see four acts hit

the stage, including local performers such as the Midnights, Electric Timber Co., Inglewood and the Push, among others. This year’s headliners, the Curtis Salgado Band and Rick Vito & the Lucky Devils will take over on Saturday and Sunday night, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $30 each or $45 for both, and available by calling the Victoria Jazz Society at 250-388-4423. For more details visit jazzvictoria.ca. The Inner Harbour will also play host to a more maritime celebration as the Victoria Classic Boat Festival sails

into town to celebrate its 37th year on the water. Taking place Friday to Sunday, boat enthusiasts can get a close-up look of a fleet of traditional boats ranging in style from yachts to workboats. A classic sail race will take place Sunday after the sailpast and salute at 11 a.m., weather permitting. A silent and live auction of the work of maritime artist Tony Grove will also take place Friday at 6 p.m. For more information visit classicboatfestival.ca. reporter@vicnews.com

Victoria’s Ladies of Gospel, featuring Maria Manna, left, Maureen Washington and April Gislason will open the second night of the Victoria Gospel Music Festival on Sept. 20.

Black gospel music at soul of new festival Drew McLachlan News staff

Though she was raised in a Roman Catholic family, music producer and singer Maria Manna said what really shook her soul was black gospel music — and now she wants to share those uplifting melodies with Victoria. Manna is organizing Victoria’s first Gospel Music Festival next month at Alix Goolden Hall, though she said it’s been a long time coming. “I thought it was time to give

people what they were looking for — good black gospel music right here in Victoria,” Manna said. “People want to lift their souls, but they don’t want to go to church, they don’t want to be preached to. They want music that gives you goosebumps, that makes you feel good.” The two-day festival takes place Sept. 19 and 20, and will feature four performances. Local musician Aaron Scoones will kick off the event, followed by the 50-member Universal Gospel Choir from Vancouver. The Ladies of Gospel trio, of which

Manna is a member, will open for headliner Marvin Matthews. Proceeds from the Victoria Gospel Music Festival go towards the music therapy program at the Victoria Conservatory of Music, which helps troubled youth, among others, express themselves through music. “It feels good to know the festival can help people in my own backyard. Music heals the soul,” Manna said. “Gospel music gives you this wonderful feeling, like your soul is doing a little bit of a dance in your body.”

Aberdeen Hospital needs a Wii expert who would like to share their love of video games with others. Friday morning shifts available. Victoria Hospice Society needs friendly people to assist customers with sales and donations. A commitment of one four-hour shift a week over the period of a minimum of six months is all that is required. Victoria Cool Aid Society needs help making sure

supporters know how much they are appreciated. No sales or marketing, just showing gratitude and thankfulness on behalf of the society. Victoria AidS Resource and Community Service Society is looking for a volunteer board member with strong leadership skills to help achieve VARCS’s mission and goals. Power of Hope is looking for a specialized database management expert.

Q: HOW IMPORTANT IS LANDSCAPING IN BUILDING A STRONG FIRST IMPRESSION? Landscaping shouldn’t be upgraded unless something is incomplete, but the garden should be weeded and kept neat, rooms decluttered. Otherwise buyers could see a need for work, which distracts them from seeing the positives. As a buyer, what do I need to know about well landscaped yards? One tip is the type of trees. If you’re looking at a welltreed lot, be sure to check Saanich’s tree bylaws and know what you’ll be limited to as many trees, not just Garry oaks, are protected. Do you have a house-hunting story you’d like to share with us? Email: editor@ vicnews.com

BUYING TIP | Contact the B.C. Archaeology Branch to learn more about possible sites

Links to past deter some projects Archaeological sites abound the Island Elodie Adams and Drew McLachlan News staff

Victoria’s waterfront properties are among the most sought-after in the real estate market these days. And once acquired, a buyer often wants to invest in building or landscape projects that involve developing or renovating the property. To dig or not to dig – that is the question that weighs heavily on waterfront property owners all over the southern tip of the Island. Over the years people have discovered, or rather uncovered, artifacts and other vestiges that show this land is archaeologically sensitive. These are links to the province’s past, so before any renovation or property development gets under way, the first step for the owner is to find out if their property contains an archaeological site. The province’s Archaeology Branch advises property owners to start by going to their municipality or regional district, who can access provincial records of known archaeological site locations within their jurisdiction. Municipalities will often have a map of known archaeological sites, though they are typically not available to the public. Then, if the owner finds out

that their property may contain an archaeological site, they must contact the provincial government’s Archaeology Branch, and hire a qualified archaeologist who will confirm the site location and assess the risks that may be incurred by carrying out the proposed project. The discovery of any artifact on a piece of property leads to calling in other services. In the case of human remains being found, the Archaeology Branch would notify the Island Coroner’s Office and Victoria PD to determine if the remains are of concern. If a cultural affiliation can be determined, the appropriate organization is contacted as well. As many remains and artifacts are of aboriginal ancestry, this is often a First Nations band. An example of this occurred in 1996, when the skeletal remains of a First Nations woman were found during some excavation work at a private home in Oak Bay. The archeological discovery lead to the coroner, the local police, members of the Songhees First Nation, the municipality’s building department and the province’s archaeology branch gathering to assess the next course of action. Although archaeological digs can be costly and add unforeseen costs to your home improvement project, they can also provide valuable insight into the history of our province. reporter@vicnews.com

Camosun archeology field assistant student Krystal Groves helps to clear brush and tall grass around a First Nations burial cairn in Uplands Park. The class, led by archeologist Darcy Mathews, will be mapped and catologued the cairns in 2010.

Sea life the ultimate survivalists they can rapidly change their skin colour in order to camouflage with their surroundings or communicate with other octopuses. Furthermore, octopuses can change the texture of their skin and blend in with many different backgrounds. They are the masters of disguise. Bioluminescence is a very cool and necessary adaptation that occurs from the sea surface to the deep sea. Bioluminescence

Natasha Ewing Tales from the tidepool

It is rare in nature for something to exist that doesn’t have a worthwhile and specific function. For example, a clam’s hard shell helps to protect its soft, fleshy (and tasty) insides from being the next item on the menu – this shell provides a specific function and not having it could be detrimental. Plants and animals can evolve overtime and select special features or adaptations that allow them to better compete and survive in their habitats. Adaptations can come in many ways, such as a behavioural change or physical feature that helps the creature find food, reproduce, survive changes in weather, camouflage or the like. Like all ecosystems, the marine environment is full of amazing animals that can do fascinating things. Animals throughout the global ocean must face a variety of challenges – like predators, extreme conditions and altering habitats – and have learned to overcome these adversities by adapting cool features that help them survive. I am going to share a handful of the coolest adaptations that can be seen in critters in the Northwest Pacific. Autotomy is an adaptation that is seen both in the marine ecosystem and on land (e.g. some lizards). Animals that can autotomize parts

is a chemical reaction that occurs in an animal’s body to produce a greenish-blue light, allowing animals to communicate in the cool dark waters of the ocean. This phenomenon resembles the twinkling of Christmas lights and has many uses including, being used as a lure to attract prey (e.g. angler fish), attract mates, communicate with peers and even function as a burglar alarm. The burglar alarm is when the prey

starts the bioluminescent reaction to attract the predator’s predator! There are thousands of amazing and creative adaptations that animals have evolved to outcompete other species and survive in their habitats. The ocean is filled with all sorts of wonderful processes that make the ecosystem function the way it does. The next time you’re at the beach take a look around and see what cool adaptations you can

The nudibranch, or sea slug, known as the hooded nudibranch, smells like watermelon. of their bodies, essentially “drop” a tail, leg or claw that a predator is holding, allowing them time to try and escape. Searching around in tide pools you may have seen crabs very much alive, but with one or more missing legs. Most likely, that crab was being attacked and decided to autotomize, rather than become a seagull snack. Although it does take a fair bit of their energy to grow the limb back, these species can replace their limbs over time. Another interesting adaptation that can take on many forms is scent. One of my favourite marine animals is the nudibranch, or sea slug, known as the hooded nudibranch. This delicate, unworldly looking creature has a very cool feature – it smells like watermelon! If you were to find a hooded nudibranch and smell it or the water around it, it gives off a very nostalgic Jolly Rancher-like fragrance. While I love the hard flavourful candies, I cannot imagine these beauties taste too good. This fruity smell is thought to attract their mates, as

they cannot see, only sense light and dark. Desiccation is defined as the state of extreme dryness. Animals situated in the intertidal zone are impacted by the tides. Off the coast of B.C., we experience mixed semidiurnal tides, or four tides a day (a high tide, a low tide, a low high tide and a high low tide). At different times of year the changes in these tides can be quite substantial. Animals in the intertidal need to protect themselves from the sun and periods when the tide is very low – they don’t want to desiccate or dry out! Some animals hide under rocks or squish themselves into tight crevices where the sun doesn’t shine, while animals like barnacles close up their shells and wait for the tide to come back in. The pigment-containing and light-reflecting portions of a cell that is primarily responsible for generating skin colour are called chromatophores. Marine animals like the octopus use chromatophores in an extraordinary way;

Five student worthy cars under ten grand By Bob McHugh

Finding five used cars under ten grand doesn’t sound like too big a challenge, until a “for a college student” stipulation is added. In my mind, this adds a few requirements as the car has to be, easy on fuel, reliable, easy to park, good on gas, thrives on abuse, room for friends, room for a bike and camping gear, super fuel efficient ... and look good! So, bearing in mind the last requirement is a highly subjective one and ignoring the (no brainer) most popular car in Canada (Honda Civic), here are five vehicle suggestions – in no particular order:

Pontiac Vibe (2010 or older): Although the Pontiac Vibe looks different, you also know this compact 4-door hatchback as the Toyota Matrix. A joint (GM/Toyota) production venture ended with the 2010 model year, as did the Pontiac brand. The resale value of a Vibe is generally lower than a same year/condition Matrix, or conversely, you may be able to buy a newer/lower mileage Vibe. The ’09 Vibe was a second generation redesign and a slightly bigger model

that came in front-drive and all-wheeldrive editions, and in base and GT trim levels. The base engine is a gas-miser 1.8-litre (132 horsepower) and a 2.4-litre (158 horsepower) engine comes in the AWD and GT models. Fuel consumption (1.8L/FWD): 8.0/6.2 L/100 km (city/highway) Fuel consumption (2.4L/AWD): 10.3/7.8 L/100 km (city/highway)

Honda Fit (2010 or older): The Honda Fit is a small, but taller, 4-door hatchback that was introduced for the 2007 model year and came in DX, LX and Sport trim levels. Its seats can be reconfigured in an amazing variety of ways and there’s even a couch/bed recliner position. The 2009 model was a second generation redesign with a more powerful 117 horsepower (up from 109-horsepower) 1.5-litre engine that’s mated to either a five-speed manual transmission or optional five-speed automatic. In the Sport edition, this automatic also comes with paddle shift gear selection at the steering wheel. Fuel consumption (1.5L/FWD): 7.1/5.5 L/100 km (city/highway)

Jeep Patriot (2010 or older): The Patriot could also be called “Jeep Light”, as it’s an affordable, compact yet capable SUV/wagon that’s surprisingly fuel-efficient. Available in both frontdrive and four-wheel-drive configurations, Jeep launched Patriot for the 2007 model year and it’s a good match of an active lifestyle young person that enjoys the outdoors. Patriot came in Sport, North and Limited trim levels and the base engine is a 2.0-litre that can produce 158-horsepower and 2.4-litre that can produce 172 horsepower is the upgrade. The transmissions offered were a 5-speed manual transmission or a fuel-efficient CVT (continuously variable transmission) automatic. If serious 4-wheeling is contemplated look for models with a trail-rated Freedom II off-road package that adds protective skid plates, etc. The downside is increased weight and higher fuel consumption.

Nissan Versa (2011 or older): The Nissan Versa may look small on the outside, but this four-door sedan or hatchback has an amazing amount of space on the inside. The extra head and leg room provided make it a very good match for a taller or bigger than average young person. Versa offers seating for four (squeeze five) full-sized adults and extra-large rear passenger doors also make getting in or out easier. The lower-priced sedan comes with a 1.6-litre (107-horsepower) engine and a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic. The hatchback comes with a 1.8-litre (122-horsepower) engine and a 6-speed manual, 4-speed automatic or a CVT automatic. Prior to 2010, a base Versa didn’t come with ABS (anti-lock braking system), and electronic stability control wasn’t even offered as an option. Its electronic-assist steering has an extra-light feel and it can turn on a (10.4 m) dime, making Versa an easy vehicle to park. Fuel consumption (1.6L/FWD): 7.7/5.8 L/100 km (city/highway – 5 Manual) Fuel consumption (1.8L/FWD): 8.5/6.2 L/100 km (city/highway – 4 Automatic) Fuel consumption (1.8L/FWD): 7.3/5.8 L/100 km (city/highway - CVT)

Fuel consumption (2.0L/FWD): 8.9/6.9 L/100 km (city/highway) Fuel consumption (2.4L/4WD): 9.9/8.2 L/100 km (city/highway)

Mazda3 (2009 or older): The first generation Mazda3 (2004 to 2009) set a new performance standard in the economy car segment. Sold as a four-door sedan or a (sportier) five-door hatchback, the Mazda3 has been a huge sales success in Canada. The four-door sedan editions of this Mazda3 come with (148-horsepower) 2.0-litre engine and in GX and GS trim levels. Sedan GT and (hatchback) Mazda3 Sport come in GS and GT trim levels and with a (156-horsepower) 2.3-litre engine, with more torque at lower engine speeds. A height adjustable, good supporting driver’s seat plus a standard tilt and telescopic steering column make the Mazda3’s driving position particularly praiseworthy. It definitely offers the best driving experience, but popularity also makes Mazda3 the priciest pick of this group. Fuel consumption (2.0L/FWD): 8.4/6.1 L/100 km (city/highway) Fuel consumption (2.3L/FWD): 9.5/6.8 L/100 km (city/highway)

Reviewing the attributes of these car leads me to suggest there’s at least one suitable for anybody on a budget. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Liked equally well whether it’s new or almost new By Zack Spencer

The Kia Soul has been on my recommendation list ever since it came out in 2010. For those looking for something bigger than a compact car but not as large or expensive as a compact SUV, it works. The original Soul was one of the first vehicles to receive Kia’s new design architecture. That bold, fun attitude and design has been improved in for 2014, taking the best of the There is comfort old model and updating it to a whole other level. in knowing the Soul The 2014 Soul recently isn’t just liked by the won the Red Dot Design initial buyer but by Award, kind of like the Academy Awards for car the used car buyer design and it also took too. home the Best Family Car under $30,000 from Zack Spencer the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC). So, it is already off to a good start in its first year of production and should be considered by anyone looking at a compact car replacement.

‘‘

’’

Looks

What is the Soul and how does it compare to the rest of the market? Well, it falls in size between a compact hatchback car and a small SUV, a true crossover. The two main rivals for this car are the Nissan Cube and Scion XB, but compared to those cars this is a much more polished effort in design and content. The body has been updated with slightly larger dimensions in width and length but the roof has been dropped by a centimeter. The front air intake is much bigger and the headlights look more aggressive. The back has a large black

section around the rear bumper to help lift the eye, where the older car had a long, slightly droopy back end. Prices range from $16,995 all the way to $26,995 for the model scene here. That might sound like a lot but this top SX Luxury trim is packed with goodies that would cost a lot more on a compact SUV. It has polished alloy wheels, HID headlamps and LED tail lamps, a huge panoramic sunroof and automatic folding outside mirrors.

Inside

What continues to amaze me is just what is offered in a compact vehicle and Kia, in particular, jams more stuff in than anyone else. This top model has heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, leather seats, a big 8-inch navigation screen with backup camera, satellite radio, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, power moon roof and more. Now most buyers will shop in the middle EX trim and it starts at $20,895 also well equipped. One of the main reasons for the popularity of the Soul is the ease of use, meaning older buyers can get into the car thanks to the big doors and slightly higher seats, when compared with a compact car. The back seat is very roomy and has a flat floor for easy access for children. The cargo rear isn’t as big as a compact SUV but for a city runabout it does a great job because there is storage under the floor and the seats fold for more room.

Drive

Kia has a two-engine approach to the Soul. The base model gets a 130hp 1.6L 4-cylinder engine and all other trim levels get a larger 2.0L engine with 164hp. The same is true with the transmission; the base has a standard 6-speed manual transmission and all others get a 6-speed auto. The larger 2.0L engine was introduced into the last model

Verdict

but now it has the benefit of an updated chassis to get the most out of the Soul in terms of handling. The body has been strengthened and attention has been placed on noise and vibration from the engine and suspension. This all comes together to make a great city car that can dash in and out of traffic with ease and lets the passengers relax and enjoy the cars amenities. One of the reasons I think this is an alternative to a small SUV is the high seating position, great outward visibility and solid fuel economy, using 8.5L/100km in the city and 6.6L on the highway. The Soul would be just fine in the winter if driven sensibly and equipped with proper winter tires. Not everyone needs all wheel drive; front wheel drive is just fine.

The Soul is already an award winner and has a dedicated buyer base. In fact, the Soul also won the 2014 ALG Residual Value Award for the subcompact utility class. This means that, the company, ALG believes this Soul will hold its value better than the competition. Yes, this class is small but there is comfort in knowing the Soul isn’t just liked by the initial buyer but by the used car buyer too. If you are in the market for a compact hatchback or small SUV, do yourself a favour and try the Soul. My fully loaded tester was about the same price as a most base model compact SUVs but this runabout has attitude to spare. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Taking the rocky mountain way To say the drive from Vancouver to Calgary offers scenic vistas galore would be an understatement. And the opportunity to drive it the all-new 2015 Volkswagen GTI made it still more irresistible an opportunity. Time constraints allowed only for the most direct route there; taking the Trans-Canada, the 3, the 5 and then again onto the Highway 1. Appreciating the incredible topographical features the Trans Canada has to offer is something I don’t always do. But with a passenger from Ontario ogling the scenery changes, it made me proud to live in such a spectacular place. Okay, I was a lot proud. Whether driving surrounded by lush, emerald vegetation, desert or engulfed in mountain, there was no shortage of ocular stimulation in our 360 view. Furthermore, the GTI is no sleeper either. In fact, it’s probably my favourite VW on the market. And it got a lot better for 2015. Now in its seventh generation, it’s lighter than Golf Mk6, bigger, more T:8.5” T:8.5” fuel efficient, more powerful, and just more awesome. For a starting T:8.5” T:8.5”

The GTI builds on its razor sharp handling, improves the suspension and allows the driver to still have a great time behind the wheel. Not to mention, the 6-speed manual gearbox – it also comes in a 6-speed DSG automatic – is as smooth in shifts as can be. Being stuck in city traffic isn’t ideal, but when you can rev the engine a little higher, wait to shift and breathe in the excitement of the turbocharged ponies, what more can you ask for? You could also ask for beautiful scenery. Check. Prior to Revelstoke, if you’re heading east, there’s 3 Valley Gap. It appears almost out of nowhere. Looking like a cross between a Swiss chalet – no, not the place where you get a quarter chicken dinner – and an establishment you might recall from a Stephen King novel, this building that has more than 200 rooms reflects effortlessly on the lake in front of it. With the mountains towering over, the heritage ghost town certainly has some, er, charm. However, the strongest charm in the drive comes from the GTI. You could even say it’s the grandfather, or the inspiration for the term “hot hatch.” It’s not only hot in appearance, but in personality. It’s a car that does everything and does it well. It’s quiet at highway speeds. It’s tame in traffic, but inspiring on the twisty roads. And even on the track. It can also be entertaining. With the promise of wildlife “for the next 3 km,” my driving partner and I eagerly anticipated the sighting of some sort of horned mammal. A mountain goat would do. We’d even be okay with a bear. But alas, no such luck. Not even with a jaunt through Banff National Park. That’s okay, the premium Fender audio system did a good job of distracting our melancholy thoughts from the lack of wildlife sightings to the musical stylings of rock and roll. The adventure was fun, the surroundings breathtaking, and then mixing it with a car that has the complete package? Now that’s a road trip to remember.

CAMPUS NISSAN Ford Transit Connects By Ian Harwood

The 2014 Ford Transit Connect is a multi-purpose cargo van that could be a great addition to any size of business.

Looks:

In The Cab:

The driver’s seat is manually adjustable (sixway) with built-in armrest while the passenger has a four-way manually adjustable seat. Just like most cargo vans of today, the cab has the features once reserved

Safety first:

Standard front and side air bags will keep you safe in the event of a collision. Fourwheel anti-lock brakes and a tire pressure-monitoring system are standard. For security, Ford has developed a locking latch shielded door lock system to help keep your contents safe.

Power:

This vehicle is powered by a Duratec 2.5 litre four cylinder, mated to a six speed select shift automatic transmission. It puts out 169 horsepower and 171 lb ft of torque. There is also a 1.6L EcoBoost I-4 engine available with 178 horsepower and 184 lb ft of torque. Continued on next page

BLACK PRESS GREATER VICTORIA- Friday, August 29, 2014

YOUR HEALTH

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

ARTHRITIS

Helps to relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis. Guaranteed also for rheumatoid and sciatica, (My own affliction). Truthful actual experiences from real people: < For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON <My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA<I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON<I suffered for years. I tried everything and finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. After this experience I realized I could help many of those 5 million Canadian that suffer every day and night and I started to sell this same type of shark cartilage and helped hundreds of thousands of men and women to #1 NPN 80042283 have less pain or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle Products. <Many people on our website write: “Can walk again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can sleep at night” Rheumatoid arthritis in joints down 90%, same for my sister…hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.

Bladder & Yeast Infection

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

Ford Transit Connects

Ad Due: Aug 14th

Continued from previous page

Roadworthy:

While driving this Ford Transit Connect you feel like you’re driving a 2WD Ford Ranger. You’re able to manouevre around vehicles in tight parking lots and park in small parking spots, the only difference is you have a walk in cargo box on the back. This van would be perfect to convert into a special purpose van; it would be easy to add a wheel chair ramp or a lift without having to do too much modification.

Verdict:

All though this van has been available in the UK for many years, it has only been available in North American since 2011. The popularity of the Transit has increased substantially its introduction thanks to its versatility and size. It is here to stay.

ACNE

Works by cleaning blood from the inside, instead of attacking skin with creams or washes from the outside and leaving actual cause untreated. Actual Results. <After 1 week my severe acne became quite mild and after 2 weeks it had completely vanished. I suffered for 5 stressful years of having acne and extremely dry, irritated skin. Bell Help for Skin Disorders“saved my life”. My skin is now beautiful and you would never know I suffered from acne and other skin problems for years. Zach Lustgarten, 18, Oshawa, ON RED NOSE/CHEEKS ROSACEA gone in less than a week. Was fighting it for 30 years with topical creams and prescriptions without getting satisfaction. I live a healthy life, don’t smoke and don’t drink. People thought a reddish face comes from drinking. This is a myth. Will take it for the rest of my life when needed. Donald E. Gillespie, 56, Innisfil, ON PSORIASIS<I had severe psoriasis over 95% of my body. Last 5 years I have stunned every doctor and dermatologist. I spent tons of money on remedies. After I got Bell Help for Skin Disorders, I’ve never seen anything work as fast in my life. Within 2 days I saw my skin clearing up. I’m speechless. #60 NPN 80044199 It was inexpensive compared with what I spent before. Jessica Shantz, 25, Dawson Creek, BC ECZEMA For 6 years my family doctor and dermatologist tried many medications and creams. After taking Bell Help for Skin Disorders for just a few days my eczema itching stopped and my face started to clear up. After suffering so long I am amazed with the results.
