Finding used syringes, discarded food and other garbage in front of their Trounce Alley businesses was the last straw for Katerina Ulasovska and Sabine Colin. In business in the old city quarter since last December, the pair say they put up

with garbage strewn throughout the area and homeless people camped out in fron of their businesses for more than nine months. “How are we supposed to do business and how are we supposed to attract customers and tourists in such conditions? asks Ulasovska, owner of Domani Fashion Chic.

Colin, who operates Delicos de France and has lived in Calgary and Quebec City, has never seen anything like it. “I’m very uncomfortable,” she said. “Quebec City is very similar (to Victoria), small town, lots of tourists and I’ve never seen this in Quebec City. It’s very clean there. There is no homeless anywhere. It’s very

different.” Mayor Dean Fortin said city council has worked hard to limit the amount of people homeless in Victoria, and is surprised by the drug use in Trounce Alley. He admits there are other areas of the city where drug use occurs, butt very little seems to occur in Trounce Alley area.

“Regrettably, it can happen,” he said. “We can’t ignore the issue and there is always more we need to do.” Ida Chong, who’s running against Fortin in this fall’s civic election, said some parts of the downtown have an unwelcoming atmosphere. PLEASE SEE: Politicians plan, Page A6

BUILDING with care Vic High student Brandon Graham wins prestigious trades award for his carpentry work Jennifer Blyth Victoria News

Victoria’s Brandon Graham has always liked the creativity of working with wood. From the beautiful wooden bowl expertly turned on the school lathe to the large garden sheds he and his fellow Victoria High School students help build for neighbours, Graham found his calling early. The Grade 12 student looks ahead to entering Camosun College’s carpenter program this spring and he’ll do it armed with the Victoria Residential Builders Association’s Herman Rebneris Student Carpentry Award, presented during the recent 2014 CARE Awards gala at the Fairmont Empress Hotel. The $500 award recognizes the commitment made by those learning the carpentry trade with a gift certificate toward “the tools of the trade.” Herman Rebneris was a respected member of VRBA and a strong advocate of education and training, skilled trades and student participation in the residential construction industry. “As a student, Brandon has demonstrated commitment to the carpentry industry, his school and community. He’s an honour roll student and is already mentoring other kids in the trades, so he really exemplifies all the attributes we’re looking for in young people entering the trades,” said Casey Edge, VRBA executive director. Graham is a member of his school’s concert band, has volunteered his time and skills to school projects, such as creating compost bins for the gardening club, and has supported younger students at neighbourhood schools. “This was a great opportunity for me to share my working knowledge of the carpentry and trades pro-

In addition to receiving Vic High’s Tech Ed Award as top student in 2011 and 2012, Graham also received a Citizenship Award in 2013, and is a regular member of the Vic High Honour Roll. Through his studies at Camosun, Graham aims to become a certified carpenter with a specialty in residential construction, additions and renovations. He comes by his passion honestly, learning from the ground up in his father’s construction company, with projects that have included a Gold CARE Award-winning heritage home. “This was my fourth summer working with him,” Graham said. The award still came as a shock to the affable teen. “I’m still a bit speechless; I had no clue until they said my name,” he said, recognizing the importance of mentors like his parents and woodworking teacher Stewart Wheeler in helping him achieve his success.

I’m a very hands-on learner, which is why I like the trades.” While Graham looks forward to exploring the finishing and millwork side of his carpentry skills, he approaches his future career with a broad grounding in the homebuilding industry and a good idea of what he likes and enjoys. Like his parents, “I’m more of a fan of heritage design and the Craftsman style, so I guess I’m kind of following in (my dad’s) footsteps,” he reflected. editor@vicnews.com

Work Point buildings’ demolition under fire Military historian believes others options should be examined Andrea Peacock Victoria News

CFB Esquimalt is under no obligation to inform the public before demolishing historic buildings, but a local military historian thinks it is a courtesy that should be given. Built in 1940, the former Work Point Town Hall, building 1079, at the base is currently being demolished. The building has only been used sporadically since 1994, when members of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, who had been using it as office space and storage, moved out, said Capt. Jennifer Jackson, CFB Esquimalt base public

affairs officer. Another building at the base being demolished is building 1030, built in 1887. “[It] was originally used as ammunition storage, followed by regular storage for the PPCLI until 1994,” said Jackson, adding this building has also only been sporadically used since 1994. These demolitions are part of CFB Esquimalt’s consolidation project, in which around eight old and unused buildings will be demolished at the base by 2018. Jack Bates, former Esquimalt resident and local military historian, believes CFB Esquimalt should not demolish buildings without first discussing other options with the community. “That building could have been relocated if people had an opportunity to be involved in it or know about it,” said Bates, adding that demolishing without looking into other options first is unacceptable from a heritage

point of view. Jackson said selling DND buildings to third parties is an option if the building is no longer required by DND but is still suitable or desirable to other levels of government or local citizens. “In these situations, the building is generally moved off DND property, and the costs must be borne by the new owner,” said Jackson. “[However], if a building is declared surplus, after evaluation through criteria such as use, location and condition, it may simply be demolished with no further consultation,” said Jackson. Bates said there should be more consultation with the public before all demolitions. “They are declaring surplus, and that’s quite true, but that doesn’t mean that they just have to be demolished,” said Bates. “I like to preserve the military heritage.”

With colder weather creeping in, more dogs and cats are being brought into shelters. For Broken Promises Rescue, that means their already limited resources are being stretched paper-thin. Pamela Saddler cofounded the non-profit, volunteer-run rescue service three years ago with Kathleen Davis. The pair focused their efforts on helping animals that had either been abandoned, were difficult to adopt or had medical issues. “We focus on helping the animals that others won’t take,” Saddler said. “We’re pretty much their last shot.” The organization, which receives no government funding, takes animals slated for euthanasia from overcrowded B.C. shelters, those with major or minor medical issues that need addressing before adoption and those that may have behavioural challenges. Broken Promises spends about $90,000 a year on veterinarian costs. Any animal that passes through its doors is fully vaccinated, spayed or neutered, microchipped and brought up to their best health possible. “We’ll actually take the ones that are old and have medical issues. They might not have long, but I want them to have a good six months of love before they go,” Saddler said. Whether it’s into a “forever home” or the rescue’s palliative foster program, every animal is placed into a home environment, she said. Kristina Patterson is one of the many people who have opened their homes to foster animals through the rescue. She said it’s a rewarding experience, and not as hard as some people may think. “If you adopt, then you’ve saved one or two animals and that’s wonderful,” she said. “If you foster, you can help dozens of animals. Everybody always asks me how I do it and I look at it like I’m just

Kristina Patterson has opened her home since February 2013 to foster animals from Broken Promises Rescue, like this black, three-year-old cat, Storm, who has feline immunodeficiency virus and asthma. looking after them until their perfect home comes along. It’s really awesome seeing them go off into their forever home.” Having the animals in foster homes as opposed to cages at a shelter gives prospective adopters an advantage too, as they can see what the animal is

like in a home environment. “You know if there’s any behavioural problems or issues with other animals or kids,” Patterson said. “You know what they’re like when the doorbell rings. You know if they’re affectionate.” Broken Promises currently has about 30 ani-

mals in foster homes throughout Greater Victoria, including Patterson’s current fosterling, Storm, a three-yearold feline immunodeficiency virus positive and asthmatic cat. Saddler said regardless of financial strain on the organization, the animals in her care will get what they need. She adds, “It’s always an ongoing struggle. We’re pretty much out of funds for Broken Promises at the moment.” She’s seen dozens of animals come through the rescue in the last three years and go on to forever homes. “It’s so rewarding to look back and think it might not have happened otherwise. Everybody gets adopted.” For more information on adopting or to donate, visit brokenpromisesrescue.com.

People over pet animals Word that more than 360,000 people across the world signed an online petition to save the life of a dog, owned by a Spanish nurse who was recently diagnosed with Ebola, puts the priorities of many people into very clear perspective. The dog, named Excalibur, was killed by authorities who were fearful that he could possibly spread the virus, although he was never tested for it. That part of the story doesn’t make sense. But the fact that that so many people could get worked up over one dog, while showing indifference to thousands of people who have lost their lives to the Ebola epidemic, is deeply disturbing. The outbreak is showing no sign of slowing down. It appears that many people in Europe and North America do not care a whit about the poor people of West Africa who are dying of this terrible disease. Some protesters even gathered outside the Madrid apartment of the nurse, calling police who came to get the dog “assassins.” Are they suggesting that one dog’s life, whether the dog should have been killed or not, is more valuable than the almost 4,000 lives lost to this disease this year? Do they care at all about the children who have lost their parents, and the health care system in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, which has lost many of its workers? Bear in mind that the doctor to patient ratio in these countries, before Ebola struck, was one of the worst in the world. In Sierra Leone, it was three doctors per 100,000 people. While the Ebola situation in Sierra Leone isn’t quite as bad as it is in neighbouring Liberia, the hardest-hit country, it is nonetheless terrible. Schools are closed. Food is scarce and more expensive than usual. It is almost impossible to get any health treatment, as the few resources available are being used in the fight against Ebola. Many foreigners and wealthy Sierra Leoneans have fled the country, and the consequence is that mostly poor people are left behind. We love dogs as much as anyone and are saddened that Excalibur lost his life. However, we are even more saddened that so many wealthy people (and that includes almost everyone in the First World) are so indifferent to the fate of our fellow human beings. What do you think?

Keep Island Savings local In response to the recent article about the proposed Island Savings merger. As a business owner and 15-year member, I urge all Island Savings Credit Union members to carefully consider their proposed merger vote with First West Credit Union. My main concern is losing local control of our credit union. We will no longer have a main office and decisions will be made at First West’s head office in Langley. At present we have 100 per cent representation on the board but under the new structure we will have 20 per cent of the seats on the board for the first two years, after which representation will be based on total membership and assets. As credit union members, we want our deposits available to other members of our community. Bigger is not always better. I believe the board of directors has not proven the need for the proposed merger, even to some of its fellow board members since the vote among board members was not unanimous. The board has not presented a business case to show how the merger will be beneficial to members. I will not be voting in favour of this proposal and I ask that all Island Savings members come to the aid of our credit union and vote no. Don Skerik Duncan

Nuclear-free zones worked for Kiwis Re: Oil protest a slippery slope for cities (B.C. Views, Oct. 7). Tom Fletcher took a snide swipe at local politicians and municipal councils that declared their jurisdictions to be nuclear weapons-free zones. “Did they really think we’re that stupid?” he asks. Fletcher should know better than to denigrate the power of grassroots democracy and nowhere is it more powerful than at the local level. This was unquestionably demonstrated in New Zealand where, in the early 1980s, a dictatorial conservative prime minister named Rob Muldoon ignored the overwhelming public opinion that New Zealand should not host nuclear-powered or nuclear-armed foreign warships. Ignoring the ever-louder public protest, Muldoon continued to invite U.S. warships to visit New Zealand harbours and used his majority National government to run rough-shod over the will of the people. Kiwis turned to their local governments to give effect to their anti-nuclear principles. Municipality after municipality voted to become nuclear free and they posted signs on their municipal boundaries. Labour Party leader David Lange

was no fool. He read the writing on the signs and promised that if his party became the government, he would ban all nuclear-equipped warships from New Zealand waters. In 1984 Labour swept into power in a landslide and followed through on Lange’s promise. New Zealand is a small peaceful country in the South Pacific but Kiwis stood up against the superpower bully tactics of Ronald Reagan and the U.S. military. New Zealand took a beating economically but stood by its principle of opposing Cold War super-power nuclear alliances. To this day New Zealand proudly remains nuclear-free and an example to the world. The strategy may have been less successful in B.C. but there is nothing stupid about the effort nor the intent of the passionate British Columbians who tried. Chris Conway Invermere

Four members of the Suminski Runners: Moe Beaulieu, left, Rob Grant, Larry Taylor and Mike Suminski. Says Suminski, a Victoria resident: “The reason we race isn’t so much to beat each other than to be with each other.”

Masters of the Mountain High Kevin Laird Victoria News

A run with Mike Suminski is equivalent to three doses of a highenergy drink. His arms stretch wide. He lifts his nose to inhale the fresh forest air atop Mount Finlayson as a small group of runners ascend the 419-metre mountain at Goldstream Provincial Park. With the enthusiasm of a young boy, Suminski asks the runners, how their day is going. He’s intently interested in the response, and as he leaves the mountain top, he jokingly reminds them to be “careful with the bears.” It’s clear Suminski loves trail running. It’s obvious in the way he runs the trail with bounds of endless energy and always ready with a laugh or quick-witted remark. Ask him of question about running form or where the trail goes, he’s only too happy to offer assistance. Suminski, 62, has become somewhat of a legend on local trails. “There’s nobody in town who runs who hasn’t heard of Suminski’s group or run with it,” said Moe Beaulieu, a longtime running mate of Suminski. The group – loosely called Suminski Runners – has been around for more than 10 years. It started out as a clinic where runners would pay Suminski

A trail of success So just how successful are the Suminski Runners? Moe Beaulieu has run 130 ultramarathons and Rob Grant is credited with 81 ultras and 84 marathons. Larry Taylor who joined the group in 2006 has run a 50-mile ultramarathon, four 50 kilometre races and has climbed both the Golden Hinde and Kusam Mountain. This year two runners – Dave Small and Gary Anderton – completed the 120-mile Fat Dog in Manning Park. Others have done just as well including Lori Heron, Torben Lind, Linda Tyrrell and Matt Cecil. Earlier this year at the Sun Mountain race in Washington State, 52 runners from Victoria competed, most from the Suminski group. Suminski believes it all comes from the love of trail running and the social aspect. “The reason we race isn’t so much to beat each other than to be with each other,” he said.

upwards of $100 to learn how to run the many wooded trails in Greater Victoria. When the Capital Regional District wanted to start charging Suminski a fee for using the park because he was running a business, he decided to drop the clinic but keep the runs going. These days, Suminski notifies the runners every week by email where the Sunday where the run will take place. The massive list, Suminski estimates, has more than 200 names. Every run is free.

“The social aspect, at least for me, is a big part of it,” Suminski said in an interview last week. “I love my running, but I really love the social aspect of it.” Most Sundays between 20 to 30 runner comes out, and run anywhere from two to six hours on the trails. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or seasoned vet, you’re always welcomed. “A lot of people fear coming out because they feel intimidated, but I always tell them we have five or six different pace groups, so nobody is

left out,” Suminski said. The Suminski Runners have certainly gone through their trials and tribulations. Three members of the group have fought back throat cancer, and a fourth battled the disease before he joined in on the runs. Another was recent diagnosed with lymphoma. But still they run. The group has at least a dozen people who have completed a 50-kilometre ultramarathon, which as Beaulieu points out is “pretty phenomenal” considering the number of runners. Larry Taylor, 66, is one of those runners. Last year at the age of 65, he completed his first-ever 50-mile ultramarathon. He backed it up this spring by running a 25-kilometre race one day and a 50-kilometre the next. “I was hooked the first day (with trail running). It’s like church for me,” Taylor said. He added though that the one thing that keeps people motivated is Suminski. For Suminski it is all the positive people around him. “I found trail running such a positive environment when I discovered it,”he said. “It was so much better than running on the streets.” klaird@blackpress.ca

They’re quirky and they’re kooky, and this Halloween, they’re even a little spooky. Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, Pugsley and the rest of the Addams clan come to life later this month in the Vancouver Island regional premiere of The Addams Family: A New Musical Comedy, at the McPherson Playhouse, Oct. 31 to Nov. 2. In this all-new story, based on the bizarre and beloved characters created by Charles Addams, Wednesday Addams, that irresistible bundle of malice, has grown up and fallen for the wrong type – he’s sweet, smart and from a respectable “warmblooded” family. Now, Gomez (Kaleidoscope’s own Roderick Glanville) must do something he’s never done before – keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia (Victoria songbird Francesca Bitonti). Audiences are promised plenty of frightful fun as the Addams are hurled into a night that will change their lives forever. Directed by Pat Rundell, with choreography by Tara Britt and musical direction by Yanik Giroux, the show is bursting with original songs by Andrew Lippa (The Wild Party) and an all-star cast of 45 of local artists, including Rachel Paxton as Wednesday, Gouda Gabor as the 102-year-old “Cougar” Grandma, Emma Cherris-Kelly as Pugsley, Darren Rathgaber as the lovable Uncle Fester, and Brandon Challen (towering at 6’10”) as Lurch. As a benefit performance for Kaleidoscope Theatre, it’s hoped the performances will raise $50,000 to support the theatre’s programming. Tickets for The Addams Family start at $25, including GST and service charges, available at 250-386-6121 or online at www.rmts.bc.ca The show runs Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 at 8 p.m. and Nov. 2 at 2 p.m. Kaleidoscope’s 40th anniversary continues with the Secret Garden, Dec. 6 to 14 at Uptown, Alice: A celebration of Elizabeth Gorrie Feb. 14 and 15 at the Atrium, and the exciting world premiere of CAMP-X by award-winning Canadian author Eric Walters, staged outdoors at Fort Rodd Hill & Fisgard Lighthouse National Historic Sites May 23 to 31. Kaleidoscope’s Family Theatre Festival also returns in May to Centennial Square. For details, see www.kaleidoscope.bc.ca. editor@vicnews.com

Every day millions of women slap on body moisturizer, apply lipstick or mascara without a second thought about what they are putting on their skin. A study from the UK claims that the average woman applies more than 500 chemicals to her body every day during her beauty routine.

Why should you be concerned?

Chemicals such as parabens (a synthetic preservative in everything from toothpaste to shampoo) and phthalates (a class of chemicals that are found in many “fragranced” beauty products such as lotions, perfumes and deodorants) are classified as xenoestrogens. Xenoestrogens mimic our natural estrogens creating hormone chaos by increasing the total amount of estrogen, resulting in a condition called estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance has been implicated in many conditions including: breast and prostate cancer, obesity, infertility, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, early onset puberty, hormonal acne and PMS.

Xeno-Detox Every Day

EstroSense is a comprehensive liver detoxifier that gently supports the elimination of harmful environmental toxins and helps to bring back hormone synergy. Along with other key ingredients, EstroSense contains milk thistle which is one of the most researched herbs when it comes to liver detoxification and liver cell regeneration. Curcumin, indole-3-carbinol, sulforaphane, calcium-d-glucarate, green tea extract, lycopene and rosemary extract are all very effective for supporting healthy hormone balance. So starting now, read labels and stay informed, check out The Environmental Working Group website www. ewg.org as well as Campaign for Safe Cosmetics www. safecosmetics.org for more information about how you can protect yourself.

Goodlife Fitness Victoria Marathon

Daniel Kipkoech takes top marathon honours Daniel Kipkoech took an early lead and never looked back as he won the Goodlife Fitness Victoria Marathon Sunday in two hours, 20 minutes and four seconds. He defeated Thomas Omwenga by seven minutes. Kipkoech went out fast, aiming for a 2:10 finish but at five kilometres he reduced his pace. “I felt the cool wind off the water and reduced my pace,” Kipkoech said. “I probably hadn’t recovered from running the Montreal Half Marathon last week, where it was hot and humid. I would like to come back next year and run a 2:10.” Omwenga, the 2011 and 2012 champion, came second in 2:27:09. Third and top Master was Oliver Utting in 2:29:02. On the women’s side, Lioudmila Kortchaguina won in 2:41:39 The women’s race had high expectations with 2013 champion, Victoria’s Catrin Jones returning and Kortchaguina, top master at the 2013 Canadian Marathon Championships, making her first appearance in the Victoria Marathon. Kortchaguina win is a Masters course record (the old record was set by Victoria’s Cheryl Murphy in 2009). Eva Vail, from Portland, Ore., was second in 2:45:54. Jones was third in 2:46:51. Kortchaguina also won the new Top Canadian Citizen prize for a total pay day of $6,000. Oliver Utting was Top Canadian Citizen in the men’s race. The half marathon was won by Willy Kimosop – his first win in Victoria after placing third in 2012 and 2013. His time of 1:06

was just under a minute shy of his personal best. Dancan Kasia was second in 1:08:24 and third was Ramiro Guillen in 1:08:32. Victoria’s Jim Finlayson was the top Master with a time of 1:10:04. The women’s Half Marathon was won by Anne-Marie Madden from Vancouver in 1:16:35. She triumphed over two local favourites, and Masters athletes, Marilyn Arsenault (1:17:04) and Lucy Smith (1:19:48). Madden tried not to go out too fast in the beginning. “My legs were stiff to start but then I settled into a breathing pattern which helped,” she said. “Marilyn was ahead but I caught her at 15K and felt really strong.” Arsenault was the top Master. The 8K saw ex-Victoria native Geoff Martinson win in 23:38, just 15 seconds short of the course record and the third fastest time ever. Now living in Vancouver, Martinson was pleased with his race. “I felt very strong and I think I am going to have a good season,” he said. Kevin Friesen was second in 24:35, and third was Trevor Hofbauer in 25:10. Victoria’s Bruce Deacon won the Masters in 25:44 – a new record, beating the record he set in 2013 (26:10). Lindsay Carson from Whitehorse, Yukon, won the women’s race in 27:15. Second was Sarah Macpherson (Victoria) in 29:29 and third and top Master was three-time Xterra champion, Melanie McQuaid in 29:56. In addition to Kortchaguina’s Masters record, a marathon age-class record was set in the W60-64 by

Lee Anderson, from Calgary, in 3:32:38. In the half marathon, Allison Penner set a new record in the W-Under 19 – 1:25:21; Arsenault’s time of 1:17:04 was a new W45-49 record. In the 8K, in addition to Bruce Deacon’s new Masters record, Nancy Baxendale set a W5054 record of 30:49. There were 8,592 finishers – 1,569 in the

marathon, 3,798 in the half marathon, 2,366 in the 8K, and 859 in the Thrifty Foods Kids Run. For full results from the Annual GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon go online to runvictoriamarathon.com.

UP TO

A new fuel consumption rating system kicks in for all 2015 model year new cars and light trucks. The Government of Canada has finally approved the five-cycle test method, already used in the US since 2008. In general, those predicted fuel consumption figures on the EnerGuide label (on every new vehicle) will increase somewhere in the 10 to 20 per cent range, compared to a similar, or even identical, 2014 model year vehicle. As before, vehicle manufacturers are required to submit fuel consumption data to the federal government based on controlled laboratory testing procedures. This is done in order to produce results that are consistent and repeatable and includes the use of standardized fuels, test cycles and calculations. The underlying objective is to give a Canadian consumer making a new vehicle purchase decision an accurate and reliable way to compare fuel consumption. The three additional test cycles, added to the old two-cycle testing method, include cold temperature operation, air conditioner usage, and driving at higher speeds with more rapid acceleration and braking. Cars, roads and motoring habits have changed over the years and the new five-cycle test was designed to better simulate modern driving. That said, and also as before, an ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actual on-road fuel consumption is still likely to be different, although closer to the new government test numbers. Real life fuel consumption not only varies depending on how and where you drive, it can also change with traffic, the weather, after dark and a bunch of other less obvious factors. If you want to check how your current vehicle would fare (and compare) in the five-cycle test, Natural Resources Canada (nrcan.gc.ca) has an online calculation tool

that gives approximate fuel economy numbers for vehicles going all the way back to 1995. This is the web link: http://oee. nrcan.gc.ca/fcr-rcf/ public/index-e.cfm The more fuel a vehicle burns is directly related to the amount of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, it pumps out the tailpipe. So, not only does a more fuel efficient vehicle cost less to operate, it also has reduced environmental impact. Fuel economy now transcends the small car market and is an important concern for buyers in just about every vehicle market segment. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also why fuel economy has become an increasingly important in the marketing of new vehicles, especially in the high-volume market segments. The car business is a highly competitive one and, as you might expect, auto makers try to build vehicles that do well, and get low numbers, in the government fuel economy test. Major technological changes are also happening in the fuel economy race. Smaller and more efficient gasoline engines are available, hybrid vehicle sales are taking off, plugin hybrid vehicles are becoming more common and the pure electric vehicle is a competitive production reality. So, even the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;fuel consumptionâ&#x20AC;? may become obsolete, sometime in the future. Right now, however, if you walk into a new car dealership showroom, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably find both 2014 and 2015 editions of the same model vehicle for sale, side-by-side. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice the asterisked note under the EnerGuide fuel consumption figure on the 2015, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to assume that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a less fuel efficient vehicle and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost certainly not correct. The 2015 EnerGuide fuel consumption figure is simply more realistic and closer to what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to experience during dayto-day driving in the real world. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Camry undergoes major update

SPECIAL

OIL CHANGE PACKAGES

By Zack Spencer

Looks

When a car is typically refreshed, the designers add a new front bumper, grille headlights and rear taillights and call it a day. Not the case here, the 2015 Toyota Camry has allnew sheet metal, providing a sleeker and more eye-catching design. The wheelbase remains the same length but the track, side-to-side has been widened for more stability. The overall length is only slightly longer, in the nose, to help achieve the more polished look. The interesting thing is this new more youthful design actually makes the car look smaller, mostly due to the less slab-sided look used in the previous car and the tightly wrapped lines and shapes. There is a new trim level in the Camry lineup, the XSE, sportier looking trim that enabled Toyota to lower the price of the, still sporty, SE trim by $2,000 to $24,990. In addition the SE trim has been added to the Hybrid model, enabling buyers of that efficient car to also enjoy a more distinctive design.

trim. The centre stack now has bigger buttons and rotary dials for ease of use, a welcome update for older buyers. To appeal to younger intenders, the Camry has the latest connectivity and on the top XLE models a wireless charging system in the centre cubby but the phone either needs a special sleeve or integrated wireless charging technology.

Not just happy to make a more appealing looking car, the engineers also went about improving the ride, handling and noise inside the car. The track of the wheels has been widened and the lower end models also get wider wheels for improved feedback but the biggest change is to the steering feel. The Camry is equipped with electric power steering and these systems have been notorious for poor feedback to the driver. This new 2015 Camry is a big step foreword. Straight-line stability has been improved and the car, with a more rigid platform and slightly stiffer springs and shocks, is now sending good feedback to the driver.

Over $1,000,000 Worth of Premium Used Vehicles For Sale

Chile had commissioned two submarines (known as CC1 and CC2) which were being built in Seattle. McBride knew that Chile was in arrears over the last $100,000 owed on the contract. On the day that war was declared, Aug. 4t, 1914, McBride authorized the spending of $1.15 million (one-third more than Chile had agreed to pay for the same vessels) to buy those submarines out from under the Chilean government’s nose. The Chilean officials waiting in Seattle for the submarines to be released to them were distinctly unimpressed when under cover of night they were instead sailed over the border with their electric motors running silently, and delivered into Canadian hands. In fact, the secrecy of this transaction was so complete that McBride had neglected to alert the coastal militia batteries to expect the arrival of the submarines. When

tugboats outside of Esquimalt harbour saw the two subs surface and start noisily running their diesel engines, there was real panic that Victoria was about to face enemy fire. The militia immediately trained their guns on the submarines, ready to defend our city. In the nick of time the militia was connected by telephone with the Esquimalt Dockyard, who could finally confirm that the two vessels were not only friendly, but the latest additions to the fledgling Canadian fleet. I could not help but wonder if the modern submariners who presented that little gold pin to the museum were aware of the important, unlikely and slightly cheeky connection between the Chilean navy and Victoria. I certainly hope they were. It’s an awfully good story. ••• Kate Humble is the interpretive co-ordinator at the Maritime Museum of British Columbia.

South Vancouver Island Dance Archives officially opens at Dance Victoria Studios on Wednesday (Oct. 22).

For the sixth consecutive year, the Inn at Laurel Point will host some of the country’s best bakers as they compete in Canada’s National Gingerbread Showcase. The theme for 2014 will focus on Where Things Live,inviting bakers to dream up visions of building what a snowman’s home would look like, the inside of an elf’s abode, or even the pasture for Santa’s reindeer. “This year, we’re adding a new level of fun to the mix by asking participants to dream up their best interpretations of Where Things Live, tying in to the work undertaken by charity partner, Habitat for Humanity Victoria,” says Ian Powell, managing director of Inn at Laurel Point. “Whether our bakers love dreaming of nights around the fire in a cozy house found in a Norman Rockwell painting, or thinking about how much fun the elves have on their one day off in their own dwellings, we know our participants will bring this year’s theme to life.” With more than 25 entries in 2013, stiff competition is expected for the event, which kicks off in front of a panel of judges on Nov. 18. The showcase opens to the public on Nov. 22 and will run until Jan. 4, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. During Canada’s National Gingerbread Showcase, members of the public are invited to view the sweet creations and, in exchange for a donation to Habitat for Humanity Victoria, vote for their favourite. All funds raised from the public support Habitat for Humanity Victoria. Last year’s event raised a record $21,531, a $5,500 increase over 2012. For bakers interested in signing up for the showcase, limited spaces are still available. Gingerbread creations must be made from 100 per cent edible ingredients. For details, please call Inn at Laurel Point at 250-414-6733.

Small Business drives the local economy As Canadians across the country prepare to celebrate Small Business Week, just how important is small business to Victoria and Esquimalt?

DID YOU KNOW?

Small business makes up more than 95 per cent of the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce membership. “Small business adds variety, uniqueness, and personal service to the shopping experience that you don’t necessarily find in large stores.” –Adrian Andrew, Executive Director, Esquimalt Chamber of Commerce.

“Small businesses are the economic driver in Victoria,” says Mayor Dean Fortin. “The explosion of food truck licenses is a good example. Food trucks serve as incubators that often grow into restaurants with downtown storefronts. We went from 26 licensed food trucks in 2012 to 50 in 2013 alone.” At the same time, the traditional impression of “small business” is evolving, Fortin notes. “We are seeing a growing number of new small businesses that didn’t exist five years ago – new business models like car-sharing, and more home-based businesses and shared work spaces.” In Esquimalt, the longevity of small businesses – and the sheer number proportionately – is notable, says Adrian Andrew, Executive Director of the Esquimalt Chamber of Commerce. “There is some turnover in business but most of the companies have been here 10, 15 or 20 years,” Andrew says. Additionally, “the number of small businesses in Esquimalt is probably double the national average. We have few large employers here so small business is extremely important. Small business adds variety, uniqueness, and personal service to the shopping experience that you don’t necessarily find in large stores.”

OAK BAY CUSTOM ORTHOTICS

“Practice the 10 per cent shift and keep 10 per cent, or more, of your spending local – shop local, keep your dollars in the community and those dollars will stay in your neighbourhood.” Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin

While there’s still work to do, the benefits of a strong local, small business community are far-reaching.

Regionally, small business makes up more than 95 per cent of the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce membership. Nationally, the Business Development Bank of Canada calls small business “Canada’s engine of job growth.” In fact, “the cornerstone of the Canadian economy,” small and medium-sized businesses account for 99.9 per cent of all Canadian companies and employ more than 60 per cent of private sector workers, the BDC notes as it prepares to celebrates this significant sector of the Canadian economy with the annual Small Business Week, Oct. 19 to 25.

“Local small businesses keep money here at home, in our community. A national or international chain will rely on Toronto, or Tallahassee, or Tokyo for suppliers and services but a business owned and operated in Victoria will rely on our neighbours for these same services.

Celebrating 35 years, the BDC’s Small Business Week recognizes the contributions and achievements of Canada’s entrepreneurs.

How can shoppers support the local business people in their communities?

“The best way to support a strong small business environment is by shopping local. Practice the 10 per cent shift and keep 10 per cent, or more, of your spending local – shop local, keep your dollars in the community and those dollars will stay in your neighbourhood,” Fortin says.

Here at home, “Victoria, especially downtown Victoria, is defined by our small businesses. Our unique shops and locally owned restaurants are a definitive part of our identity and our economy,” Fortin says.

the third period before surprising the Kerry Park Islanders 4-3 in overtime. The Nanaimo Ice Centre was abuzz in anticipation of Thursday night’s game and even more so after goals by Carter Turnbull and Chad Bell put the Buccaneers up 2-0. Turnbull scored his fifth of the season at 3:55 of the first period during an odd-man rush. Then at 16:13 of the middle frame, Nolan Richardson fed the puck out front to Bell who banged it home from in close. Victoria (9-1-1-0), which won its sixth game in a row, did not get on the board until the 18:09 mark when John Kretzschmar scored from the top of the faceoff circle. Watching the proceedings from the sin bin was Owen Dalman who had 29 seconds remaining in his tripping penalty. Another penalty, this time to Jared Fedosoff, put the Cougars on an early third period power play. 71 seconds later, Johnson tied the game after pouncing all over a Robert Zadra rebound for his fourth goal of the season at 2:45. Extending his point streak to 10 games was Zadra. After Fretz put Victoria ahead by good, Carson added an empty netter with 35.9 seconds remaining in regulation. Cougars’ goaltender Grant Payne, who was making his third straight start in net, turned aside 21 shots for his fifth win of the season. Greg Maggio made 25 saves in the loss.

Quality Foods gathers grocer awards

Life member award accepted by founding partners John Harding Black Press

Quality Foods continues to earn national recognition from its peers in the grocery business. Last week in Toronto, Quality Foods founding partners John Briuolo, Ken Schley and Noel Hayward were presented the prestigious Life Member Award from the Canadian Federation of Independent Grocers. The designation is awarded to a grocer who has demonstrated a commitment to the industry through their work, community involvement and federation activities. Also last week at the CFIG’s Independent Grocer of the Year Awards, Quality Foods Parksville’s entry into the Master Merchandiser Awards was the judge’s favourite in the medium store category, winning the gold for Canada. An Atlantic Canada independent in the large surface category edged them out for the Platinum award as best overall in all categories. In addition, Qualicum Foods Parksville received a Platinum Achievement Award for 10 consecutive years of various CFIG awards since the original store was rebuilt in 2004 after a fire. The store also earned a rare spot in the Canadian Independent Grocer of the Year Hall of Fame. The honour was accepted by the trio of founding partners. Quality Foods in Courtenay’s Driftwood Mall received a Diamond Pin Achievement Award as a result of receiving awards for each year they have been eligible. All 11 eligible QF stores received an Award of Merit from judges who visited all applicants across all Canadian provinces and territories. The Independent Grocer of the Year Awards program is designed to recognize outstanding Canadian grocers based on a

Uptown Place offers the expansive views of Saanich while offering all the amenities of a compact downtown.

Tri-Eagle Developments

Downtown feel, Uptown space Travis Paterson News staff

Bike, walk, car or bus, everything is easy about getting in and out of Uptown Place. The first phase of the two-building Saanich development overlooking Uptown shopping centre is nearly sold out. All 76 units will no doubt be full by the time they’re ready in December, says Travis Lee of TriEagle Developments. Marketing for the second building has begun, due in June 2015. “There’s one three bedroom left, it seems the one and three bedrooms are the fastest moving units in the building.” Single bedroom units for Uptown Place come in three floor plans starting at $250,000, while the remaining three bedroom suite available is $600,000. If there’s a downside to the open-space floor plans with panoramic Saanich views it’s the hum-

drum of traffic along the Pat Bay and Island highways below. But then again, being able to jump on either of Greater Victoria’s major traffic arteries in a matter of seconds is one heck of an access point. The same goes for the Galloping Goose and Lochside trails, as Uptown Place is situated near both, conveyor belts for regional cycling commuters. Uptown Place is the first Tri-Eagle development with a bike fixing station, in addition to bike storage. “The main attraction of building here is the walking distance to Uptown shopping centre, which, when you look at the density and services, offers everything a downtown centre offers,” Lee says. Uptown Place is smartly in line with Saanich’s official community plan for higher density and family developments, though there is nothing forced about it. The first floor of the four storey buildings are ideal family town homes with exterior entrances and patio yard areas, fenced in private yards. The

second, third and fourth floors are condos with one, two and three bedroom floor plans that maximize the surrounding views of Saanich and Victoria. “We’re Saanich developers, we identified the neighbourhood as one to invest in because of the shopping centre. It’s right on the Galloping Goose and Lochside intersection, with plenty of bike storage and the fixing station because we believe that’s who is interested in Uptown Place,” Lee said. Access to B.C. Transit will also become easier as the regional transportation hub plans to relocate to the area. “Everything is falling into place for this to be a high growth area,” Lee said. Next up for Tri-Eagle is the Thunderbird, an eight-storey residential mid-rise building in Royal Oak. Visit uptownplace.ca for more information.

The GMC Canyon has more upscale features and a lavish cabin â&#x20AC;&#x201C; something I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have said before when it comes to midsize trucks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; while the Colorado is more utilitarian in nature. No matter how you slice it, both of these trucks have impressive features. One is its quietness. Whether driving the four or six-cylinder variants, no rattles, bangs or buzzing were heard. I actually couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe my ears as to how serene the cabin was. I guess the triple door seals are doing their job and doing it well. The transmission had a smoothness to it and the 8-inch touchscreen featuring Text Messaging Alerts and Siri Eyes Free are a bonus. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just hauling yourself, or a pair of jet skis around back, the GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado can do the job. And they do it very well. Pricing for the Chevrolet Colorado starts at an MSRP of $19,900 for the four-cylinder with the extended cab. The GMC Canyon has a starting MSRP of $20,600 (both exclude a destination charge of $1,695). Visit www.gm.ca for more information Alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Turbo-Diesel is scheduled to join in the engine lineup. Want to tow a couple of dirt bikes, or mount a couple of kayaks on the rear? Sure! Not a problem. As I drove through Del Mar with a trailer hitched to the back that carried two incredibly clean dirt bikes, I barely felt they were there. The V6-endowed Chevy Colorado (or GMC Canyon) tows up to 3,175 kg (7,000 lbs.) with the trailering package, so it has ample oomph to get it up some tough grades without breaking a sweat. When you want to access the bed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; regardless of trim â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they all come with a standard CornerStep rear bumper. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also find 13 standard tie-down locations throughout the bed that you can use with available, movable cargo tie-down rings. Furthermore, the 2015 Coloradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s configurations are available in an extended cab model with a 6-foot bed, a crew cab with a 5-foot bed and a crew cab with a 6-foot bed. With the tailgate down, the 6-foot bed allows hauling of 8-foot-long items. Even though both trucks are built on GMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Global mid-size truck platform, they are targeted at two different buyers.

not only varies depending on how and where you drive, it can also change with traffic, the weather, after dark and a bunch of other less obvious factors. If you want to check how your current vehicle would fare (and compare) in the five-cycle test, Natural Resources Canada (nrcan.gc.ca) has an online calculation tool that gives approximate fuel economy numbers for vehicles going all the way back to 1995. This is the web link: http:// oee.nrcan.gc.ca/fcr-rcf/public/index-e.cfm The more fuel a vehicle burns is directly related to the amount of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, it pumps out the tailpipe. So, not only does a more fuel efficient vehicle cost less to operate, it also has reduced environmental impact. Fuel economy now transcends the small car market and is an important concern for buyers in just about every vehicle market segment. It’s also why fuel economy has become an increasingly important in the marketing of new vehicles, especially in the high-volume market segments. The 2015 EnerGuide fuel consumption figure is simply more realistic and closer to what you’re likely to experience during dayto-day driving in the real world. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

A new fuel consumption rating system kicks in for all 2015 model year new cars and light trucks. The Government of Canada has finally approved the five-cycle test method, already used in the US since 2008. In general, those predicted fuel consumption figures on the EnerGuide label (on every new vehicle) will increase somewhere in the 10 to 20 per cent range, compared to a similar, or even identical, 2014 model year vehicle. As before, vehicle manufacturers are required to submit fuel consumption data to the federal government based on controlled laboratory testing procedures. This is done in order to produce results that are consistent and repeatable and includes the use of standardized fuels, test cycles and calculations. The underlying objective is to give a Canadian consumer making a new vehicle purchase decision an accurate and reliable way to compare fuel consumption. The three additional test cycles, added to the old two-cycle testing method, include cold temperature operation, air conditioner usage, and driving at higher speeds with more rapid acceleration and braking. Cars, roads and motoring habits have changed over the years and the new five-cycle test was designed to better simulate modern driving. That said, and also as before, an owner’s actual on-road fuel consumption is still likely to be different, although closer to the new government test numbers. Real life fuel consumption

Popular Camry undergoes major update

By Zack Spencer

Charlotte, NC – The launch for the heavily updated Toyota Camry took place here in the heart of NASCAR country. Along the drive route, there were several NASCAR stops, one at the Hall of Fame, and another at Joe Gibbs Racing and a third at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. This was all to emphasize just how American the Camry has become. The chief engineer of the 2015 Camry is from Not just happy Michigan, not Japan, as was the case with the rest to make a more of the crew that updated appealing looking car, over 2000 parts on this the engineers also latest sedan. The car is Toyota’s cornerstone in the went about improving United States, thanks in the ride, handling and part to the association the noise inside the car. brand and the car has with Zack Spencer the immensely popular NASCAR series and the long reputation it has for reliability and value. It is the most popular passenger car in North America and number one in the United States. However, that is not the case in Canada, where it lies third in the Toyota lineup behind the Corolla and RAV4.

‘‘

’’

Looks

When a car is typically refreshed, the designers add a new front bumper, grille headlights and rear taillights and call it a day. Not the case here, the 2015 Toyota Camry has allnew sheet metal, providing a sleeker and more eye-catching design. The wheelbase remains the same length but the track, side-to-side has been widened for more stability. The overall length is only slightly longer, in the nose, to help achieve the more polished look. The interesting thing is this new more youthful design actually makes the car look smaller, mostly due to the less slab-sided look used in the previous car and the tightly wrapped lines and shapes. This is now a very nice looking car but from about fifty paces the new Camry looks very similar to the new Corolla, which was refreshed last year and is selling very well. There is a new trim level in the Camry lineup, the XSE, sportier looking trim that enabled Toyota to lower the price of the, still sporty, SE trim by $2,000 to $24,990. In addition the SE trim has been added to the Hybrid model, enabling buyers of that efficient car to also enjoy a more distinctive design.

Camry

suede, but the updated seats are only in the new XSE trim. The centre stack now has bigger buttons and rotary dials for ease of use, a welcome update for older buyers. To appeal to younger intenders, the Camry has the latest connectivity and on the top XLE models a wireless charging system in the centre cubby but the phone either needs a special sleeve or integrated wireless charging technology. Plus, there is a new screen between the speedo and tachometer for a quick reference of the radio, navigation or phone calls. These are all welcome updates but the major competitor for this car is the Honda Accord and the interior on that car is much more upscale and technologically advanced, with two screens and a higher end feel.

Drive

Pic of the Week The Citroën C1 URBAN RIDE concept will never reach our shores even if it goes into production. But it’s always interesting to view European interpretations of city cars. The fold back top, which enables an almost convertible driving experience, is a throwback to the classic Citroen 2CVs from yesteryear. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

the car, with a more rigid platform and slightly stiffer springs and shocks, is now sending good feedback to the driver. To highlight this, a stock off-the-showroom 2015 Camry, with regular tires was used at the Charlotte Motor Speedway for hot laps. With a pro NASCAR driver at the wheel, this new sedan easily navigated around the oval at speeds over 200 km/h. No fuss, no problem. Not something anyone in a road-going Camry will experience but a good demonstration.

Verdict

What haven’t been updated are the engine and transmission choices. The same 178hp 2.5L 4-cylinder with a 6-speed automatic does duty along with an optional 3.5L V6 putting out 268hp. Yes, this is known equipment and these engines have a proven record but with Honda and other providing direct injection engines and new slick transmissions, it might be safe to go with “tried and true” but at some point these engines will require upgrades or replacements. As it stands, this is much more than a regular mid-cycle facelift. The 2015 Camry looks much better, drives with more confidence and has a pleasant interior. With the help of NASCAR, the Camry will remain a North American staple, this time with a lot more style. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca
