Heritage advocates in uproar over application for a demolition permit on historic building in Victoria Andrea Peacock News Staff

The Anglican Diocese of B.C. has applied for a demolition permit of a heritage building in Victoria, causing uproar in the James Bay community. The St. James Mission of Christ Church Cathedral School, located at 520 Niagara St. is on the city’s heritage registry, but it is not legally protected as a heritage site. Bishop Logan McMenamie said the Anglican diocese would like the school to be taken off the heritage registry completely in order to increase its value. He said the city put the building on the registry without the diocese’s permission. “We have a building that’s not safe,” McMenamie said. “It’s not seismically upgraded.” City Coun. Pamela Madoff said the diocese is eligible to apply for a grant to get seismic upgrades on the building but has not expressed interest. PlEASE SEE: Building has historic value, Page A27

Barking back at Transit B.C. Transit dog ridership policy too restrictive: seniors

Andrew Weaver: “This tells me people are beginning to recognize the government’s position is unreasonable.”

Petition pressures province towards arbitration offer

News staff

Daphne Taylor is a Raging Granny with a bone to pick at B.C. Transit. Over the past six months, Taylor and her colleague Fran Thoburn have collected hundreds of signatures on a petition to relax dog ridership rules on public transit. “We both have dogs, and we don’t want to use our cars all the time,” said Taylor, holding her 12-year-old mixed terrier, Toby. Both Taylor and Thoburn are members of Victoria Raging Grannies, a social justice activist organization. “We did some research and discovered there are several cities, including Calgary, Toronto and Seattle, and many countries in Europe that allow dogs on buses,” Taylor said B.C. Transit’s current dog policy allows only “small fur-bearing or feathered pets contained in secure, clean, hand-held cages” on buses. Those cages must be small enough to fit on the owner’s lap, which Thoburn says is too restrictive for many seniors and for owners of large dogs. “Besides the dog park on Dallas Road, there’s a great park for dogs in Esquimalt called High Rock, and it seems unfair to me I have to put my dog in a crate to ride the bus,” she said. “I use crutches when I walk.” Seattle allows small dogs to ride with owners for free, but drivers charge a base fare for larger dogs. The Toronto Transit Commission allows leashed dogs on buses and subways, but only during off-peak hours.

Daphne Taylor and her mixed terrior Toby have already collected about 650 signatures to convince B.C. Transit to relax its dog ridership rules and allow dogs onboard with muzzles rather than in kennels. Calgary has no restrictions on ridership times as long as the dog remains on-leash. So far, Taylor and Thoburn have collected more than 650 names on the petition ahead of their Sept. 16 presentation to the Victoria Regional Transit Commission. They hope to convince commissioners that muzzling and leashing dogs is adequate, and they stress bus drivers would be able to turn away dogs and their owners when buses are too full or for other safety concerns. “We’ve been canvassing our own neighbourhoods as well as pet shops, and

we’ve been amazed at the support,” Taylor said. Saanich Coun. and VRTC chair Susan Brice said commissioners are always open to public ideas, but said staff would need to gather more information before any final decisions are made. “Any ideas have to be examined in light of the greater good,” Brice said. “But if there is a petition like this, we’ll have to look at it and see what experiences there are in other cities.” Taylor said other organizations have given up on relaxing dog ridership policies on B.C. Transit, but the Raging Grannies aren’t

likely to roll over. “I know Victoria’s a little bit old fashioned, but my MLA is a Green Party member, and I feel we need to be moving in that direction,” Taylor said. “This is an energy saver, we’re preventing vehicle emissions and it’s less expensive than driving.” Thoburn will continue canvassing James Bay as well as a downtown Victoria pet store, while Taylor hopes to garner signatures in Cadboro Bay Village in the lead-up to their VRTC meeting. editor@vicnews.com

An online petition calling on the B.C. government to accept binding arbitration in the ongoing teachers’ strike is racking up signatures across the province. The petition, launched Monday by Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA Andrew Weaver, asks the province to agree to binding arbitration to settle the labour dispute, something Education Minister Peter Fassbender has firmly ruled out. By Wednesday, the petition had already reached more than 20,000 signatures. “This tells me people are beginning to recognize the government’s position is unreasonable,” Weaver said. “The government is fear-mongering about how much it will cost to move to binding arbitration, but that’s not accurate because you put forward your best package and both parties have to justify their submissions.” NDP leader John Horgan also called on the government this week to make the “unprecedented” move to accept arbitration. Horgan said if the

government is secure in its belief its wage offer is fair, it should have no concern about the results. “We’re in uncharted territory, where we’ve had the longest strike in B.C. history, and it’s time we put an end to it,” Horgan said. Fassbender, however, reiterated his rejection of binding arbitration this week, calling the move “a ploy” by the union. “Arbitration is not something this government is going to consider,” he said. Weaver, who has twice been chief negotiator during faculty labour negotiations at the University of Victoria, said arbitration is a time-tested process that won’t throw the province’s finances into disarray, as Fassbender has claimed. Weaver’s petition hit the 10,000 mark by Tuesday afternoon, and he hopes to garner 50,000 names over the coming days to increase pressure on the government. “The hostility the government is showing towards the BCTF is troubling, he said. “The government is acting like a schoolyard bully. And you know what, boys and girls: it’s time to grow up.” editor@vicnews.com

Special therapy brings vision into focus

CITY NEWS

Vision therapy aids in learning environment

Coroner ID’s man who fell

IN BRIEF

Andrea Peacock News staff

Stephanie Lanni is a focused young girl who enjoys learning, but it wasn’t always easy. Since moving to Victoria from Ontario with her family two years ago, Stephanie, 8, had trouble keeping up with her classmates in terms of reading and writing. Last year, her Grade 2 teacher at St. Margaret’s School noticed Stephanie was reversing letters and numbers and had difficulty with spacing between words. Having read about vision therapy in a magazine article, Stephanie’s teacher recommended it to her mother, Lucy Reus-Lanni. Vision therapy helps patients who have trouble focusing and tracking their eyes, as well as depth perception. “We went for an assessment and they said it was something called exotropia, where one of the eyes was looking the other way,” said Reus-Lanni. Stephanie started attending vision therapy once a week at Family Eyecare Centre in May. In addition, she gets help from the learning support team at her school two days a week. “She has always loved school, but I was worried that something like this might dampen her enthusiasm for it,” said Reus-Lanni. At school, Stephanie uses a slanted board on her desk to aid with her schoolwork. “Research indicates that an angled desk at 20 degrees is actually optimal for handwriting and learning and reading,” said Reus-Lanni. Stephanie has noticed the

improvement. “It helps with my writing so it doesn’t be all messy,” she said. Reus-Lanni said Stephanie’s handwriting has improved dramatically, but there have also been other notable changes, including her physical capabilities. For example, Stephanie is now able to jump rope now since she is able to track the rope with her eyes and jump over it in time. The biggest improvement ReusLannui has noticed in her daughter is an increased confidence to try new things. Seeing patients improve like Stephanie has meant everything to Nazima Sangha, optometrist at Family Eyecare, and the vision therapist she works with at the clinic. “My therapist and I have shed a few tears for sure,” Sangha said.

“It’s a wonderful feeling to feel like maybe we can help somebody.” Sangha became an optometrist in 2003, but she has only had her vision therapy program for the last two years. During her clinical rotations at the Pacific University of Oregon, she saw kids who were being mislabeled as having hyperactivity disorder or other issues, when it fact it was their vision causing problems. “We’d get their vision to function more efficiently or more optimally – it changed their whole learning outlook,” said Sangha, adding that 80 per cent of learning happens through vision. “So you can imagine if there’s a problem with your vision, that can really affect how well we learn.” Sangha looks at patients’ ability to

focus near and far and their ability to track and coordinate eye muscles. “When we do therapy we look at where there’s inefficiencies [and] we try to train those activities,” said Sangha. Typically, classes are 45 minutes to an hour long and run for 12 weeks to a year. “At the end of the day it’s about how the patient is functioning,” said Sangha. Getting kids eyes tested between the ages of six months and three years is crucial, because of how much visual development happens in kids’ eyes during that time, said Sangha. If problems are able to be discovered early they are easier to resolve, said Sangha. andrea.peacock@vicnews.com

Rising ferry fares and declining traffic are costing the economy millions more than the revenues accruing to BC Ferries, according to a study prepared for discussion at this month’s local government convention. Based on what it is calling the first ever “socio-economic” study of ferry use and costs, the Union of B.C. Municipalities executive is recommending the province reverse its November 2013 decision to continue raising ferry rates beyond the rate of inflation.

The report refers to passenger declines of 20 to 40 per cent on northern routes, 10 to 20 per cent on minor routes and five to eight per cent on major routes. The report finds that “ferry ridership declines run counter to the trend of transportation volume increases in most other modes of transport in B.C., including vehicle and air transport.” The report estimates that if fare increases had been kept to the rate of inflation, passenger volumes would have grown by 19 per cent over the past

Pressure on District of Saanich as amalgamation debate rages Victoria and Esquimalt will ask residents in ballot Daniel Palmer News staff

The Capital Region’s largest municipality is coming under increasing pressure to ask residents what they think of amalgamation at the ballot box, but Mayor Frank Leonard says the discussion isn’t one his residents want. On Monday, Esquimalt and Sidney councils joined Central Saanich, Langford and Victoria when they agreed to put a nonbinding amalgamation question on the ballot in the Nov. 15 municipal election. “The debate is not a Saanich debate,” Leonard said. “It’s not our place to comment on whether our neighbours are too small. That’s for them to do internally.”

Prince, wife arrive today

The question will ask residents if they support moving forward with a provincially funded study of various models of integration for the region’s 13 municipalities. Municipal councils can then choose how to best proceed with those options. John Vickers, AmalgamationYes spokesperson, said a yes majority vote would give municipal leaders the tools to evaluate the benefits of further integration. Vickers cited an Angus Reid poll conducted in July that showed 89 per cent of people surveyed felt the amalgamation question should be put to residents at the voting booth. “Five municipalities have recognized the right of the public to have a say on this,” Vickers said. “As long he [Leonard] denies the call from constituents in his own community, then he’s certainly not doing any favours for the region or for Saanich.” While an online Amalgama-

Specific numbers were not available. Leonard said the logistics of managing Saanich’s sprawling farms, parks, urban areas, lakes and streams takes a small army of 1,500 municipal employees, and that increasing those responsibilities won’t necessarily result in efficiencies. “All our colleagues recognize these challenges, apart from maybe one vocal mayor. They too know that bigger isn’t better,” Leonard said. “The only government bigger than Saanich around here is the CRD, and that doesn’t help the bigger is better argument either.” Saanich council does not have any discussion scheduled around the amalgamation ballot question at upcoming public meetings, he added. editor@saanichnews.com

Police are turning up the heat on gang activity in B.C.

‘Significant decline’ in gang killings, says report CFSEU community report notes more big cases go to trial in 2015 Jeff Nagel Black Press

A recent drop in gang violence now has B.C.'s anti-gang police unit looking to the courts for closure on several major outstanding cases. Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit chief officer Kevin Hackett said the "significant decline" in organized crime homicides comes after a series of high-profile investigations leading to charges, as well as new initiatives to prevent or reduce gang membership. His comments were published Monday in the unit's 2014 annual community report. It can be found online at bc-anti-gang.com. The number of gang-related killings in B.C. fell to 13 last year from 18 in 2012 and has been cut by almost two-thirds from the 36 gang murders committed in 2009. Nearly 100 organized crime figures or gangrelated individuals were arrested and charged last year with more than 270 offences in close to 30 B.C. communities, Hackett said. The report's release came after the province announced policing cuts that will pare the CFSEU budget by $2.8 million. Much public attention has focused on the Surrey Six murder trial, which concluded in early July. A decision is expected to be handed down Oct. 2 in the case against two of the men accused of killing two innocents along with four other targeted victims. But a separate murder conspiracy trial for Red Scorpions gang member Jamie Bacon is slated to begin next May for his alleged role in the Surrey Six slayings. And there could be two other major gang murder trials in 2015 as well. A trial is expected to begin next year in Kelowna, where Jonathan Bacon was gunned down three years ago. Jujhar Khun-Khun, Michael Kerry Hunter Jones and Jason Thomas McBride face first-degree murder charges as well as four counts each of attempted murder. CFSEU officials say next year could also see the start of a trial against Cory Vallee, accused in two murders – the 2009 shooting in Langley of Red Scorpion Kevin LeClair and the 2008 shooting in Burnaby of Jonathan Barber, who was mistakenly targeted because he was installing a stereo in a car owned by a Bacon brother. Vallee, who was arrested in August in Mexico and quickly returned to B.C., also faces conspiracy charges in relation to a UN Gang plot to kill the

Bacon brothers. Hackett said a joint CFSEU-IHIT investigation also led to murder conspiracy guilty pleas last year against six UN Gang members and associates. He said the gangsters had been "ruthlessly hunting" members of the Bacon crime group in 200809, a period during which police efforts also prevented at least two more murders. "They displayed blatant disregard for public safety in what Crown counsel referred to as 'human safaris' while they targeted their rivals." The six received sentences of seven to 14 years each and although UN Gang leader Barzan TilliCholi could be out late in 2018 due to time served, he is expected to then be deported to Iraq. Hackett was optimistic the CFSEU's edgy End Gang Life campaign (endganglife.ca) will help persuade more gang members to reform. It plays on the emotions of gangsters with imagery of loved ones left behind after they're dead. The annual report includes statistics on the ethnicity of gang murder victims, where the bodies are typically found (31 per cent inside a car, 20 per cent inside a residence), as well as seasonal patterns in gang violence.

OUR VIEW

Progression on sewage While many Greater Victoria residents questioned giving control for sewage treatment to the Capital Regional District, it seemed for a while that the CRD was proceeding in a logical, if challenging direction to develop a plan linking the partners in the project. But over time, as the planning costs mounted and the uncertainty and fragility of locating the main treatment plant in Esquimalt became apparent, that public trust quickly fell apart. To many it seemed more and more that the CRD was flying by the seat of its pants. It comes as no surprise to us, then, that municipal politicians who sit at the CRD board table, and those who don’t, have already started looking at alternatives, such as doing studies on how their jurisdictions can meet provincial and federal government treatment requirements. Those alternatives also include teaming up with neighbouring municipalities. Esquimalt Mayor Barbara Desjardins indicated this week that some form of “West side” partnership might be more palatable to her residents than the previous mega-plant idea rejected for McLoughlin Point. Such a plan could include View Royal, Colwood and Langford with Esquimalt, with the flows from that section of the region being treated at one plant or multiple smaller plants, given that Colwood has already started down its own road on treatment. Is the fact municipalities are scrambling to find alternatives a case that would have been avoided in a more amalgamated region? Perhaps. But having that discussion is rather pointless, since sewage treatment has to get done first. Rather than laying blame for the regional project falling apart – the lack of a firm commitment for a main site was the largest of various troubling aspects of the project – we prefer to look at the current state of discussions as breathing fresh air into a process that had stagnated. The very real prospect facing taxpayers, however, is that funding from upper levels of government may disappear before smaller projects are decided upon. While it may be gratifying for residents to have more independence on such matters, that autonomy does not come without a cost.

Property owners need to be treated fairly

Re: Project draws ire of downtown residents (News, Sept. 10) I wholeheartedly agree with the development of the old St. Andrew’s Catholic school. I live and work in the 900- block of Mason Street and Pandora Avenue. The only glitch as far as I am concerned is that Victoria city council and the developers are not dealing fairly with the owners/ renters in the 1000 block of Mason Street adjacent to the development.

Last Week

we asked you:

In most countries in the European Union, including the UK, a two-part compulsory purchase order would be issued to the owners by council or the developer. A valuation would be done independently by both parties, and 25 per cent of that value would be added as a compensation payment. It is then up to the owners to sell or not sell, but they would still receive the 25 per cent gratuity either way. It is about being fair, not politics, not property tax, and not greed.

Employers expect to hire this fall Victoria and Capital Regional District employers expect a positive hiring climate this fall, according to the latest Manpower Employment Outlook Survey. The survey suggests 17 per cent of employers plan to hire for the upcoming quarter (October to December), while three per cent anticipate cutbacks. “With seasonal variations removed from the data, Victoria and the Capital Regional District’s fourth quarter Net Employment Outlook of 19 per cent is an increase of eight percentage points when compared to the previous quarterly Outlook,” said Jeff Polkinghorne, an analyst with Manpower Employment.

Tourism Victoria earns lofty honour Tourism Victoria has been honoured as Marketer of the Year Award by the B.C. branch of the American Marketing Association. It is the first time a business on Vancouver Island has won

the award, which celebrates innovative marketing across all industries. “We are so incredibly honoured to be recognized with this award,” says Trina Mousseau, chief marketing officer at Tourism Victoria. “Our marketing efforts are so much more than just the campaigns we execute. By working together – from our valued members to our teams on the road – we strive to inspire travel influencers to visit our beautiful destination.” Tourism is a $1.9 billion industry in Greater Victoria and is directly responsible for 22,000 jobs in the region.

Maritime museum opens doors to camp The Maritime Museum of B.C. is the latest organization to offer extended summer camps. Beginning Monday (Sept. 15), the museum opens its doors to Nautical Day camps for children aged five to nine. “We recognize this is a difficult time for families struggling to find childcare during the teachers’ strike,”

said Jon Irwin, the museum’s executive director. “We feel it’s important to support the needs of families in our community and do what we can to alleviate some of the strain families are under during this time.” Maritime museum programmers will provide a hands-on venue for kids to get up close and personal with the province’s history. Camp activities are directly linked to the B.C. social studies and science curricula. Each camp is $175 with a maximum of 10 children per camp. Camp will run from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. For more information, please call 250-385-4222 or email khumble@mmbc.bc.ca.

Victoria filmmakers showcase work at Toronto film festival Don Descoteau News staff

Victoria News photographer Arnold Lim is living a filmmaker’s dream this week. The photojournalist and videographer is in Toronto, joining director Connor Gaston for the premiere of their short film, Godhead at the Toronto International Film Festival. Lim is one of three producers for the 11-minute film, the others being Gaston and Chris Orchard. Godhead, filmed in and around Victoria, opened yesterday and also shows today (Sept. 12) as part of the festi-

Arnold Lim val’s Short Cuts Canada program. “I’m excited to see (Greater Victoria) filmmakers represented at the festival, which is one of the largest in the world,” Lim said. “I see this as an opportunity for others who will come after us.” The film is one of 40

shorts accepted into the festival out of more than 800 submissions, he said. Being a part of a film project being shown on such a large stage has been a goal of Lim’s since he began getting involved in filmmaking, he said. “This is something I hoped to do by the time I was 40 or even 50,” the 36-year-old Saanich resident said. Godhead is an offbeat comedy that follows the story of Gary, a young man rendered mute by his autism who spends his days racing remote control boats with his little brother. The ongoing scenario

creates stress for the boys’ father, a single parent who just wants his elder son to get a job. Gary’s condition, however, conceals a powerful gift that goes beyond words. Gaston, whose short film Bardo premiered at the festival in 2012, combines humour and the supernatural in his latest offering. The group hope to see the film screened at other film festivals, in Calgary and Vancouver and potentially Victoria next February, Lim said. No plans are in the works yet to screen it here beforehand. editor@vicnews.com

Cyclists peddled their way to raising $32,000 for Victoria Hospice on Sunday. Russ Clermont started the Ambriss Clermont Memorial Ride in 2012 after his

wife, Ambriss, died in Hospice that year. Clermont owns Russ Hays’ The Bicycle Shop on Hillside Avenue, and his staff along with family members and others from the community

participated in the ride. “Our family is so humbled and thrilled by the folks who rolled out with us today,” said Marty Clermont, son of Russ. “People shared so many great stories with

Free Men’s Health Day ‘saves lives’ Daniel Palmer News staff

Men perhaps aren’t the most proactive when dealing with their health, but a free clinic Saturday at Tillicum Centre aims to buck that trend with a full day of health assessments and testing. The 13th annual Country Grocer Men’s Health Day offers an impressive slate of free tests for men of any age including glucose, cholesterol, blood pressure, neck and throat cancer screening and PSA tests for men over 40, usually a $30 fee at the doctor’s office. “Last year, we had 517 men come through and more than 600 men the year before that,” said Kopp, executive director with The Prostate Centre. “We caught 22 men with an elevated PSA test, which meant they should go on with further assessment. So there really is a big potential to save lives as well.”

The grassroots health day is funded in part by the Westcoast Motorcycle Ride to Live, which raises funds and awareness about prostate cancer with an annual ride through the Capital Region. The Father’s Day Walk/Run for Prostate Cancer also helps fund Saturday’s event as well as local cancer research. “We want to make sure everything we provide to the men is completely accessible in the community,” Kopp said. The majority of test results on Saturday will be provided to men immediately, while blood tests will be forwarded to family doctors. “There are a lot of men who don’t have family doctors, so Dr. Gordon Hoag, head of laboratory medicine at Island Health, will review all the tests of those who don’t have regular doctor and follow up if necessary,” Kopp said. The largely volunteer-run Prostate Centre helps more than 1,000

The Centre offers education, patient counselling, follow-up with patients and runs events to raise donations to prostate cancer research in partnership with the Westcoast Motorcycle Ride to Live.

It is common for PSA to be found in the blood in very small concentrations. Higher levels of PSA may indicate the presence of cancer, but can also be an indicator of other prostate conditions.

At most fashion shows, the front row is not normally at risk of being licked by the models – but at this fashion show, it’s the norm. The seventh annual Man and His Dog fashion show is Wednesday (Sept. 17). For the first time, it will be held at Glo Restaurant as opposed to Outlooks Menswear, although the event is still put on by Outlooks. The new location will mean a bigger event, with the potential for over 100 more people. “You’re going to be on a patio with drinks and appies and gorgeous men in gorgeous

clothes and gorgeous dogs — what else could you ask for?,” said Penny Stone, executive director of the Victoria Humane Society. The event is a fundraiser for the Victoria Humane Society and Turtle Gardens Animal Rescue. Dale Olsen, owner of Outlooks Menswear, said the event usually raises between $4,000 and $5,000, but he hopes to double that to $10,000 this year. “These places have huge expenses,” said Olsen. “They go through palettes of dog food, vet bills that are large – there’s a lot of costs involved.” Olsen created the fundraiser after he and his wife adopted

a rescue dog from Turtle Gardens, and saw how much support it needed. There will be 16 men dressed in the latest fall fashions from Outlooks Menswear. Ten of them will be walking their own dogs down the runway, and six of them will be walking dogs available for adoption. Besides the location, also new this year will be a puppy petting station. Puppies who are available for adoption will be there for people to pet and play with. No adoptions will be made that night, but people are welcome to make inquiries and follow up after. “It’s nice for people to be able to interact and to see … what res-

cue puppies look like – they’re better than every other dog,” said Stone. Olsen added: “The dogs kind of steal the show. I do my best to make sure everybody loves the clothes, but we’re in stiff competition with the dogs.” The Glo Restaurant will be able to accommodate 250 to 275 people, as opposed to the 150 at Outlooks in previous years, said Olsen. Tickets are still being sold for $55 for adults and $20 for kids under 16. For more information, contact Dale Olsen at Outlooks Menswear at 250-3842848 or at 534 Yates St.

More than 1,000 runners and walkers are expected at this Sunday’s (Sept. 14) Terry Fox Run in Victoria. The run starts at Mile 0 and the route goes along Dallas Road to St. Charles Street then loops back to Mile 0. The entire route is five kilometres, though some people choose to do the route twice, said Doug Lamb, organizer of the run. Participants can walk or run the route at their leisure. Besides the run, the event includes the Terry Fox Great Canadian Hair Do, organized by Linda Johnstone. Every year, 20 to 30 firefighters from Victoria, Saanich, Esquimalt and Oak Bay come to have their heads shaved, said Johnstone. However, going bald is not

Two seven-year-old girls have already signed up to cut off their hair on Sunday. “One girl’s grandma has cancer,” said Johnstone, adding the girl wanted to do something to help her grandma. “In two days she raised $500, and the other night she had over $695.” Another man has been growing his hair for four years to have it shaved in honour of Terry Fox. Pre-registration for the Hair Do event is not required, but those interested can contact Linda Johnstone at 250-477-6545. Registration starts at 9 a.m. on Sunday and the run starts at 10:30 a.m. Head shaving and hair cutting will take place before and during the run. There is no registration fee for the Terry Fox Run and no minimum donation. Organizers are still looking for volunteers to be course marshals along the route. Those interested are asked to call Doug Lamb at 250480-2868 or Graham Lamb at 250-884-2883.

winter roads should not be a problem. Of course, you would want to invest in a good set of winter tires. Beyond the city limits, out on the highway, heading south it handled the road well, with enough get up and go for good passing power when needed. It’s quite roomy for a small car. There’s room for three in the back seat as long as those passengers are not of a larger body type, if I may delicately put it that way. If you are of a larger body type, there is plenty of room in the trunk, if you desperately need a ride at that exact moment. (Just kidding.) But it does tell you the trunk is also roomy! Verdict: No complaints. For a sub-compact, you get great tech options, great fuel economy, in a car that doesn’t feel like you are driving something as inexpensive as it is. It’s fun and zippy for driving around town or highway driving. If you need a small car as a

DrivewayBC.ca Flex crossover dares to be different

LANGFORD than a switch to a centrally mounted rear windshield wiper there were no significant changes in 2012. The 2013 edition of Flex got a mid-life styling refresh that included a slicker new front-end treatment plus minor improvements to both engine offerings. Safety ratings are all top-notch and this, plus high owner reliability ratings, has helped put the Ford Flex on Consumer Reports “Recommended” list of vehicle buys. Although not as fuel-efficient, the standard 3.5 litre engine reportedly has fewer problems compared to the newer and more powerful turbo-charged V6 engine option. Ford Flex not only looks different, it is different … and it’s a Canadian! Polarizing (love/hate) styling lines provide an interesting wrapper for what is actually a very practical family vehicle.

offering. The only engine was a 3.5-litre V6 engine that can deliver 262 horsepower at 6,250 rpm and 248 lb.ft. of torque at 4,500 rpm. It’s mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and drive goes to the front wheels. Highway fuel economy is surprisingly good 8.4 L/100 km, but the city rating is a much thirstier 12.6 L/100km. Two changes came in 2010 in the form of a new (lower-priced) entry level SE trim version of Flex and the other was a new optional 3.5 litre V6 EcoBoost engine (Limited trim only). Turbochargers and direct fuel injection allow this engine to provide V8 like power, yet still offer it still offer V6 fuel economy. The MyKey security feature and an AutoFold 60/40 bench seat were both added as standard equipment in all Flex trim levels. A new top-line Titanium edition of Flex was added to the product line in 2011. It comes with the V6 EcoBoost engine and all-wheel-drive. And other

Flex is a short name for a big Ford utility/wagon type vehicle that can accommodate six or seven people with ease and seat them with an impressive degree of comfort. Made in Canada, Flex is a hard-to-categorize vehicle that was introduced for the 2009 model year. Not a car, a minivan or an SUV, Flex borrows from them all, so the ‘crossover’ tag is also very appropriate. Stylistically the Ford Flex dares to be different. What appears at first glance to be a simple two-box design is actually more complex. It has generally straight styling lines yet there are no sharp corners. Its two-tone paint finish is separated by the dark centre greenhouse section, which gives Flex a distinctive ‘floating roof’ appearance that’s also appealing. On the inside, even with all its seats upright there’s still 566 litres (20 cu ft) of cargo space in the back. That jumps to 1,224 litres (43.2 cu. ft) with the third row down and a whopping 2,355 litres (83.2 cu. ft) with the second row flat. The front passenger seat can also fold forward and allows Flex to swallow 3-metre (10 ft) long object, with its liftgate closed. Flex can also have an impressive max towing capacity of 2,041 kg (4,500 lbs), when properly equipped. Originally (in 2009) Flex just came in SEL and Limited trim levels and allwheel drive was a ($2,000) optional

UP UP TO TO UP UP TO TO

to encourage the masses to drive topless. Whether through a rag or hardtop, this specimen of automotive manufacturing and design allowed people to feel the proverbial wind in their hair within seconds. I felt it as a kid as my mom was lucky enough to be one of the first Miata owners in BC when they came out in 1989 – a red one, of course – and took me out for rides frequently. Those memories have stayed with me over the decades, though I’ve been able to form my own bond with the car. Not only have we (meaning, the various MX-5s I’ve driven in the last in 11 years) put down thousands of kilometres together, we’ve also been paired up at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca for the Skip Barber Racing School experience a couple of times. Nostalgia is one popular element of its appeal, but there’s an undeniable fun factor. Whether racing it on a track or just taking it to the grocery store, the first turn you carve in it will rope you in like an infomercial in the wee hours of the night when you can’t sleep. But in the case of the MX-5, you won’t have any buyer’s remorse. Fast-forward through the years and you’re now viewing the fourth generation MX-5. And what better way to welcome the roadster to the stage here in California than via a little band called Duran Duran. And through a live satellite stream that was broadcast here, and abroad in Spain and Japan.

‘‘

The Miata/MX5 holds a Guinness Book of World Records title of most successful two-seat convertible roadster in history.

’’

Alexandra Straub

The reasoning? – Both the English music group and the roadster came into popularity in the 80s and continued to succeed and grow in status over the decades. Besides, “Rio” is an incredibly catchy tune to dance to! That said the MX-5 has a new, eye-catching look to it. Not many specs have been released though I can tell you this: it’s lower, wider, and sheds 100kg in the making. It also embodies the KODO or “Soul of Motion” design language. Like with all-new models of anything legendary, there will be a polarizing reception. Some might think it’s too radical. Some might fall immediately in love with it. And some will wait to drive it to make up their mind. Regardless of the way it looks – which certainly helps its cause – it’s really about how you feel on the road, behind the wheel, and when you tuck it in at night. More details about the MX-5 are scheduled to be released at this year’s Paris Auto Show. Either way, I can’t wait to drive it. www.mazda.ca alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

with parts breaking and how he ended up custom building a lot of parts in his own shop. Other people started building their own trucks and soon side-by-side competition began. There were crazy names for these trucks such as; Goliath, Taurus, King-Kong, Grave Digger, and Samson. It was a big thrill for many just to see these trucks drive slowly over some junk cars. They would stop in the middle and get out and wave. Soon fans wanted to see more, so the trucks would pop a wheelie before crushing them. Two cars became eight and then buses. I saw Taurus drive up several cars and onto the roof of two double decker buses. The truck came very close to rolling off, but after a few adjustments to the rear steering he climbed along and then off. The suspension of that time was more about lift height to accommodate the largest tires rather than full suspension travel which came next. The Baja race trucks could handle large jumps without any trouble, so the monster trucks started the change. Massive coil over shocks and four-point suspension that could handle the weight and abuse these trucks would dish out. Now the monster trucks could hit the cars at tremendous speed and fly through the air impressing all. Bigfoot #18 holds the Guinness World Record for the longest jump by a Monster truck at 214’ 8”. The popularity of these trucks continues to grow to this day and with more advanced technology who knows what the next wave of Monster Trucks will look like? ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

When I first started my career in the offroad and truck accessory business I was a young and impressionable 18 year-old. I was impressed with some of the successful off-road shops in the US but I wondered how they had become so succeeded in business. One that came to mind was Midwest Four-Wheel-Drive & Performance Centre, owned by Bob Chandler, creator of the legendary Bigfoot monster trucks. Back then large off-road tires for pickups were not available; this forced Bob to think outside the box and looked to the agriculture industry. He bought a set of 48” tall Firestone tires and along with some custom made wheels; he mounted them onto his truck. People from all over the states started talking about his truck. He was invited to car shows and tractor pulls and that started drawing attention from the four wheel drive magazines. His shop also started to grow rather quickly with all the new interests in 4x4 modifications. A mechanic in his shop gave the truck the nickname Bigfoot because of the way Bob would drive it, heavy foot on the gas pedal. I was looking through one of those magazines and saw a small picture taken from just outside the shop bay door. It was his truck with 66” tall Goodyear tires. I remember thinking he was crazy. After that the monster truck craze began. I was fortunate enough to meet Bob at a trade show in Las Vegas. His truck was there on display and he was outside sitting at a table having lunch. I approached him, not recognizing him in his cowboy hat and asked if the spare seat was taken. Very nice man, he shared with me some of his frustrations

‘Young artists’ grasp the work of Emily Carr

FREE CAR SHOW w

In her own words, Emily Carr said she had nothing in common with her own generation and much more in common with the young generation. In Victoria, the younger artists recognized Carr’s talent and were influenced by her – and would likely be honoured to know their work will be displayed alongside Carr’s at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria this fall. “She pioneered modernism in Canada, and in the 1930s and 1940s young Victoria artists sought her out for art instruction, mentorship, and conversation,” said Michelle Jacques, AGGV chief curator. “Their interest in her work and ideas was rejuvenating to Carr, and it is undeniable that she had a certain impact on the artistic output of these members of the young generation.” Emily Carr and the Young Generation, opened Aug. 29, and features works from Carr and a handful of artists, including Max Maynard, Jack Shadbolt, Ina D.D. Uhthoff, Myfanwy Pavelic and Edythe Hembroff-Schleicher – all Canadians. Many of the paintings feature

Emily Carr’s Autumn in France, which was painted in 1911. Carr, a Victoria artist, pioneered modernism in the early 20th century. Vancouver Island locales, such as Saseenos, Whiffen Spit in Sooke and a First Nation’s reservation in Cowichan. A portrait of Carr with her dog by Hembroff-Schleicher will also be on display. This unique exhibit is the pleasant result of the AGGV loaning seven of its Carr paintings, which had been featured in the AGGV’s long-running Emily Carr: On the Edge of Nowhere to the Dulwich Picture Gallery in London, England for the exhibit Painting Canada: Emily Carr in British Columbia. “We are thrilled to be contributing to this long overdue presentation of Carr’s work over-

seas,” said Jacques. “While several of our beloved Carr paintings will travel to Dulwich, to be featured in an exhibition that will surely secure Carr’s rightful place on the international stage of art history, Emily Carr and the Young Generation will tell the story of the artist’s origins, impact and legacy in Victoria.” Emily Carr and the Young Generation, which runs through to Aug. 28, 2015, will also be a chance to see these other talented artists’ depictions of Vancouver Island, and its people.

Finding safe preschool snacks can be a tough nut to crack Healthy, flavourful options are out there for kids Angela Cowan News Gazette Staff

With preschool classes starting up, parents once again have to choose their children’s snacks carefully to comply with the varying food restrictions at schools and care centres. West Shore Parks and Recreation, like most facilities, has been ‘nut aware’ for a number of years with the uprising of serious peanut and other nut allergies. “Most of our classes are ‘nut aware,’” says Karen Frost, recreation co-ordinator for the centre. “And all of our kids have a medical form, so if one child does have a severe allergy, we send home letters to all the parents to let them know what they can bring.” Frost suggests fruit, crackers and cheese or yogurt for quick and healthy snacks parents can put together. “We don’t want any candy,

“It’s tough for parents who don’t live with (severe allergies) every day.” – Preschool parent Julita Traylen high sugar content, chocolate, gum, any of that sort of thing.” For other facilities, restrictions can be more stringent, such as at the parent-run Oak Bay Preschool. “We are dairy, egg, gluten and nut free,” says Julita Traylen, who has a four-year-old daughter at the preschool. The centre has several children with severe or anaphylactic allergies, and the strict food policy gives parents peace of mind that there’s no chance of an allergen popping up in the classroom. But while those restrictions may ease parents who have to constantly check for allergens, those whose kids

can eat anything often have a hard time thinking of healthy and quick alternatives to granola bars, peanut butter sandwiches and cheese and crackers. “It’s tough for parents who don’t live with (severe allergies) every day,” adds Traylen. Chopped up fruits and veggies, dried apple or banana chips, hummus, rice crackers and bean and lentil dips are all quick and easy options for school time snacks, she suggests. “I personally bake vegan muffins and cookies with lots of seeds and oats and dried fruit. That’s our go-to snack.” Wherever parents decide to send their kids for preschool and care, it’s a good idea to learn what food restrictions are in place and why before packing up the day’s snacks. There could be a life-threatening allergy in the classroom. acowan@goldstream gazette.com

Family Edition

After living 47 years in the same home mom just told me she is moving into a one bedroom suite in a retirement community and expects me to look after everything! I’m thrilled about her decision to move but ….. I live in Toronto, have a family, a busy career and truthfully, we never see eye to eye on issues and our best visit is about 72 hours.

Your situation is more common than you think. Families with the best of relationships, who reside in the same city as their parent(s), and/or are the sandwich generation, often find the process of downsizing overwhelming. Even if they are able to help, more often than not, families want their parent(s) just to ‘pitch’ most things and can’t understand why these ‘simple’ decisions are so difficult. What’s important and meaningful to a parent may have little or no meaning to their child. This is the perfect time to have an objective individual/ service come in and seamlessly and affordably move your parent(s) through the downsizing process with the least amount of stress, and still remain in charge. While downsizers works diligently and closely with each client, they remain objective and know the questions that will help their client stay focused, be realistic and determine what is important and what they can’ let go’. The ‘letting go’ items may mean selling, shipping, auction, donating to various organizations or to the garbage. They will then pack, move, unpack, arrange furniture, hang pictures – and even make sure the TV and computer are set up and ready to go. I have witnessed clients and families moving in with and without the assistance of a downsizer. They can do in a few days what can otherwise take weeks and months. They are worth their weight in gold! Their value far outweighs their fee which is very affordable. Call in two or three for a free estimate and then choose the one who suits your personality and requirements most. Give a gift of a downsizer to your parent or loved one. It will be the best money you ever invested!

We’re here to help. Any parent can find themselves in that situation, no matter what tax bracket they’re in.” The services offered by the non-profit organization offers include everything from counselling sessions and courses on life skills and parenting, to free books, food, toys, clothing and household goods. Tuckwell is not only a former volunteer and current staff member, he’s the single parent of a 13-year-old son and has experienced the benefits of 1Up firsthand. “I was a single parent for three or four years when I found the centre, and for me, it began with taking courses and volunteering here. I was looking for help and emotional support,” he said. “By coming to the centre …You feel you are not so alone.” The people who have benefitted from the centre cover a wide range, from immigrants or grandparents to mothers, fathers and others, Tuckwell said. The centre is funded in part by the province, United Way and individual fundraising events. “We are part of a web that is catching a lot of people falling through the cracks,” he said. “It’s up to us non-profits to catch them.” For more information visit singleparentvictoria.ca. alim@goldstreamgazette.com

stomach one September afternoon, nine-month-old Danica and I approached a little white building that housed a neighbourhood daycare. My glum mood lifted a few notches at the sight of the multi-coloured climbing apparatus, swings, slides and tricycles. We stepped up to the door, knocked and entered the threshold of a whole new era. Danica pulled herself up on a couch and stood, surveying the room while I sniffled a bit. Then it happened. Little Rosalie, just a few months older than Danica, toddled over, put her arms around Danica and hugged her. It was a sign! The next day, I dropped her off for a few hours while I worked. I picked up a happy child, who did not appear any closer to needing therapy. I continued to suffer moderate anxiety each time I dropped her off – parents could go only as far as the doorstep so as not to hear their offspring wailing, should they suddenly form a parent-attachment – but (unlike me) Danica never cried. In the end, both my daughters spent happy days in daycare, even forging a few life-long friendships. And aside from incurring a few traffic tickets, I’m happy to report, neither child has been carried off in a police car or yet spent any time behind bars.

Building has historic value: heritage group Continued from Page A1

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not worth our value to spend the money on the building on Niagara to bring it up to seismic upgrades,â&#x20AC;? McMenamie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to use the money from there to seismically upgrade [The Cridge] Memorial Hall, which is a heritage building.â&#x20AC;? On Aug. 19, city staff conducted a heritage inspection on the building and concluded it was in sound condition. The Anglican church initially submitted the application for the demolition of the school on Dec. 30, 2013. Despite this, McMenamie said the church does not want to see the building demolished. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to sell the property and the building,â&#x20AC;? McMenamie said. Something that is not reflected in the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to apply for a demolition permit, Madoff said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the things that [is] frustrating is that the site has not been marketed with the building in situ,â&#x20AC;? said Madoff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They may believe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more marketable if it has a demolition permit in hand and can simply be redeveloped rather than limiting the market to those that would see the value of reusing the existing building.â&#x20AC;? Peter Daniel, asset manager of the Anglican Diocese of British Columbia, confirmed the reasoning behind applying for the demolition permit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[The permit] makes it more sellable,â&#x20AC;? Daniel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obviously beneficial for a new owner to have as much latitude as possible in dealing with a property.â&#x20AC;? On July 24, the City of Victoria ordered that the site be subject to temporary protection for 60 days. In that time, council directed city staff to report back with an

assessment of the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage value. Staff was expected to present their findings to council yesterday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t routinely issue demolition permits for heritage buildings,â&#x20AC;? Madoff said. Ken Johnson, president of the Hallmark Heritage Society, said the city is at a standstill with the diocese. He does not think the city will give legal protection to the site against the wishes of the church. He too feels it is inappropriate for the church to apply for the demolition permit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a gift to the church from the community, and should remain in the community,â&#x20AC;? said Johnson. An anonymous donor gave the property to the church in 1939. The 75-year-old building is being used as a preschool and daycare, and has been

for decades, Madoff said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wellmaintained building and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a community landmark; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got architectural value, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got historic value,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make any sense from any point of view not to rehabilitate buildings when you have the opportunity to give them new life.â&#x20AC;? Donald Luxton also thinks it would be a shame to see the

building go. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is quite a landmark building. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s served the community for many years, and I think there was a lot of hope that it would serve for many more,â&#x20AC;? said Luxton, heritage consultant at Donald Luxton & Associates, a cultural and heritage resource management firm. Luxton was one of the founding directors of the Victoria Heritage Foundation in 1983.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite short-sighted to apply for demolition if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be selling;

who knows who could reuse that building,â&#x20AC;? said Luxton editor@vicnews.com

Building facts St. James Mission of Christ Church Cathedral: â&#x20AC;˘ The building was built in 1939 and given to the church by an anonymous donor â&#x20AC;˘ It was designed by P.L. James and built by contractors William Trerise & Williams for $6,000. â&#x20AC;˘ It is a one-storey brick structure with a concrete foundation â&#x20AC;˘ On Jan. 19, 1995, the city put the school on the City of Victoria Heritage Registrar -â&#x20AC;˘ In March 2014, the property was assessed at $689,500

A suite time to become a landlord Homes with rental space offer buyers financial advantage Andrea Peacock News Staff

Secondary suites are popularly used to help pay landlords’ mortgages. “In some instances, it could provide the entire mortgage payment at the extreme end of things,” said Brian Graves, real estate agent with DFH Real Estate Ltd. in Victoria. Considering the cost benefits of houses with secondary suites is important for potential buyers, said Julie Rust, real estate agent at Newport Realty. “Financially, it helps offset costs.” Darren Day with ReMax Camosun said that for every $450 of rent one receives, it’s worth roughly $100,000 of borrowed money at today’s interest rates. “Let’s say you’re looking at a home priced at $500,000 to $600,000 that has a suite. When you factor in what you’re getting for the rent, it’s like paying $350,000 for the house,” said Day. “Houses with suites are way more attractive to buyers because of that.” According to Rust, secondary suites are common in Victoria, but many of them are illegal. “A legal suite is one that has all its permits,” said Rust. “They’e only legal if they’ve actually been approved by the city.” However, getting a secondary suite approved is a process that involves jumping through a lot of hoops, said Rust. “It’s a lot of hassle,” she said. “Not only do they look at the suite, but

The options for rental suites around Victoria and Esquimalt are many. then they go through the whole house.” This can get expensive depending on what the city finds in the house, and often forces people to take the illegal route, said Rust.

“At the end of the day, it’s the buyer’s choice if they want to take on that risk.” There is also a potential risk for renters living in an illegal suite. If work in the house was not done by

a professional, there could be wiring issues, leading to a fire risk, said Rust. “Most of them I’d say are done on the side.” – with files from Don Descoteau

More to seaweed than meets the eye Natasha Ewing Tales from the Tide Pool

When walking among the tide pools around Oak Bay, the abundance and diversity of seaweeds often goes unnoticed. Or, the seaweed is thought of as a hazard and people carefully tread over the slimy rocks to take a peek in the glistening pools of water. In my opinion, seaweed is quite fascinating and is actually used by humans more often than one would think. Seaweeds are split up into three main groups – greens, reds and browns. Seaweed is not a vascular plant due to its lack of a vascular system, roots, leaves, steams and flowers. Rather, seaweed is a multicellular algae that contain chlorophyll

and use the sun’s energy to produce food, just like plants on land. Thus, most seaweed is found in the sunlit upper waters of the ocean, so that photosynthesis can take place. Seaweeds range in size, shape, colour, texture and even smell. The gorgeous bull kelp (nereocystis luetkeana), found off BC’s coast forms dense forests and can grow to a maximum of 36 metres, often growing several feet a day in the summer. Sargassum, is an invasive species to B.C., that does not attach to a substrate, but floats around on the sea surface. Some red seaweeds, like the coralline algae, are rather delicate and look almost coral-like due to calcareous deposits in their cell walls. Dead man fingers, an appropriately named seaweed due to the fingerlike sacs it forms, squirt out water in all directions when squished, almost like a natural water gun. The species listed above are just a snapshot of the thousands of seaweeds that exist. Seaweeds

have evolved some cool adaptations for surviving in a variety of conditions. Seaweeds that live in the high intertidal must be able to resist drying out when the tide is low; thus intertidal seaweeds often have a gelatinous layer to prevent internal water from evaporating. Other species have gas filled bulbs (like the bull kelp) that help keep their long blades floating at the surface in order to photosynthesize. Some seaweed species even produce noxious chemicals to defend themselves against predation. Seaweed is a major player in the marine ecosystem. Some animals such as sea urchins rely on seaweeds as their main food source and have been known to mow down entire kelp beds. Seaweeds are also homesweet-home to many marine species that hide among the swaying blades and feast on tasty prey. Last, but not least, seaweeds act as nurseries, a safe haven where animals lay their eggs and raise young. Not only do seaweeds

have important functions in the ocean, humans have also found dozens of uses for seaweeds and algae in day-to-day life. Anyone who enjoys a tasty dynamite roll dipped in soya-sauce and wasabi knows too well how nutritious and delicious seaweeds can be. However, did you know that a property of red seaweeds, carrageenan, is used as thickening, gelling or stabilizing agent in many different foods, including ice cream? Carrageenan is also found in other daily products like toothpaste, shampoo and cosmetic creams. Seaweeds have all sorts of other practical uses and are commonly found in bio fuels, fertilizers, pet food and medicines. Much research is currently being done on algae and its uses, particularly in the medical field. Different forms of algae are thought to assist in many health disorders from diabetes to ADHD, although there is some uncertainty. I find it amazing that something so “simple”

Wiki Commons

Seaweed is a major player in the marine ecosystem. as seaweed can provide so many important uses. The next time you’re at the beach take a moment to admire the beauty and diversity of seaweeds. As previously discussed, humans are inextricably linked to the ocean. Whether one lives five minutes or five days away from the ocean, the marine

ecosystem surrounds us everyday; at least if you brush your teeth. ••• Combining her passions for education and the marine ecosystem Natasha Ewing inspires K-12 teachers and students to incorporate hands-on experiential ocean science into the classroom for Ocean Networks Canada.

A sleek and peppy roadster for the people

Alexandra Straub

Monterrey, CA. – Looking at the specs, it doesn’t seem too impressive. A 1.6-litre engine, 116 horsepower, 100 lb-ft of torque, a 0-100 km/h time of less than nine seconds, 14-inch tires. Heck, my bicycle has bigger rubbers! Okay, maybe not. But 25 years ago, the Mazda Miata was a product of those numbers. It wasn’t necessarily endowed in the engine department. However, the two-door roadster did have everything else on its side. A sleek design, a peppy personality, a brilliant red coat and something that other cars have strived to achieve in their two-door roadsters over the years but have fallen short – longevity. At a quarter century old, the Miata/MX-5 has achieved incredible success. Close to a million of these drop tops have been sold worldwide. The Miata/MX5 holds a Guinness Book of World Records title of most successful two-seat convertible roadster in history. Not bad for a car that packs in so many thrills for under $30K. Over the years, the front-engine, rear-wheel drive car continued to encourage the masses to drive topless. Whether through a rag or hardtop, this specimen of automotive manufacturing and design allowed people to feel the proverbial wind in their hair within seconds.

I felt it as a kid as my mom was lucky enough to be one of the first Miata owners in BC when they came out in 1989 – a red one, of course – and took me out for rides frequently. Those memories have stayed with me over the decades, though I’ve been able to form my own bond with the car. Not only have we (meaning, the various MX-5s I’ve driven in the last in 11 years) put down thousands of kilometres together, we’ve also been paired up at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca for the Skip Barber Racing School experience a couple of times. Nostalgia is one popular element of its appeal, but there’s an undeniable fun factor. Whether racing it on a track or just taking it to the grocery store, the first turn you carve in it will rope you in like an infomercial in the wee hours of the night when you can’t sleep. But in the case of the MX-5, you won’t have any buyer’s remorse. Fast-forward through the years and you’re now viewing the fourth generation MX-5. And what better way to welcome the roadster to the stage here in California than via a little band called Duran Duran. And through a live satellite stream that was broadcast here, and abroad in Spain and Japan. The reasoning? – Both the English music group and the roadster came into pop-

ularity in the 80s and continued to succeed and grow in status over the decades. Besides, “Rio” is an incredibly catchy tune to dance to! That said the MX-5 has a new, eye-catching look to it. Not many specs have been released though I can tell you this: it’s lower, wider, and sheds 100kg in the making. It also embodies the KODO or “Soul of Motion” design language. This two-seater also comes with sexy character lines from its four corners. Furthermore, up front, you’ll notice its headlights that look like they’re eyeing its prey; unlike the first generation’s pop up/ down headlights that were more than welcoming.

Like with all-new models of anything legendary, there will be a polarizing reception. Some might think it’s too radical. Some might fall immediately in love with it. And some will wait to drive it to make up their mind. Regardless of the way it looks – which certainly helps its cause – it’s really about how you feel on the road, behind the wheel, and when you tuck it in at night. More details about the MX-5 are scheduled to be released at this year’s Paris Auto Show. Either way, I can’t wait to drive it. www.mazda.ca

Driveway editor Keith Morgan joins the Infiniti-Red Bull Racing’s F1 team for the day. Well, he stood around the pit garage as World Champion Sebastian Vettel’s car was readied for the Belgian Grand Prix. Morgan will report on his race weekend in Spa, Belgium, in next week’s Driveway. He’ll also reveal the inside secrets he discovered earlier during a behind-the-scenes tour of the Infiniti-Red Bull Race team factory in Milton Keynes, England, and offer an account of his drive through the EuroTunnel to France in an Infiniti Q50. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Bad things happen to cars in the movies a pre-wedding jaunt with friends. Granted, they were supposed to be heading to sedate California wine country, but they go to Vegas instead. The extreme body damage that the handsome Benz suffers is predictable for anyone who has seen “Animal House.” The damage done to the interior

of beatings on Carlo. The most direct route from Sonny’s fist to the jawbone of Carlo would take him through the tollbooth at the Jones Beach Causeway on Long Island, where the Barzini’s hit men were waiting with Thompson sub-machine guns. The result was not pretty for either Sonny or the Lincoln. 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 (“Fast Times at Ridgemont High”): The Camaro was owned by intimidating high school football prospect Charles Jefferson (played by the great Forrest Whitaker in one of his earliest roles). Jefferson’s little brother and surfer/ stoner Jeff Spiccolli (Sean Penn) take the car cruising one night in the San Fernando Valley and wreck it. Spiccolli pops the classic line, “My old man is a TV repairman, and he has an awesome set of tools. I can fix it.” Ultimately, no repairs are undertaken. Rather, the damage is blamed on car thieves from a rival high school whom Ridgemont is playing in a big football game. An incensed rhino-like Jefferson is seen later delivering paralytic revenge hits in the subsequent game. 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE convertible (“The Hangover”): Future father -in-law entrusts his non-Car Guy future son-in-law with his treasured Mercedes convertible for
