Expect greater economic growth in 2015 Andrea Peacock Victoria News
Andrea Peacock/Victoria News
Greg Atkinson, spokesperson for the University of Victoria Students’ Society, speaks at a rally outside ICBC offices on Tuesday. Approximately 3,000 students signed a petition protesting the B.C. government’s recent proposal to allow ICBC to revoke drivers’ licenses of those who do not pay back their student loans.
Students protest ICBC, loans link Andrea Peacock Victoria News
Approximately 3,000 University of Victoria students have signed a petition rejecting the B.C. government’s recent proposal to link defaulted debt to driver’s license renewals. Under the proposal, ICBC would withhold driver’s licenses from people who have not paid off their student loans. This law would only apply to those who have not been in good standing for more than a year. Greg Atkinson, spokesperson for the University of Victoria students’ society, presented the petition to Kathy Corrigan, official opposition spokesperson for
advanced education on Tuesday, along with about a dozen other students in front of ICBC on Wharf Street. “We’re proposing an alternative that the government should be supporting students, not punishing them,” said Atkinson. “We’re demanding a needsbased non-repayable grants system – upfront cash for students to be able to go to school.” Atkinson added that B.C. is the only province in Canada without such a program. “In other provinces, when you apply for student loans, you automatically qualify if you come from a lower or middle income family for grants for your education.” Corrigan accepted the petition, saying
the government needs to support students who pursue post-secondary education. “I think the government needs to start listening to the thousands of students who are working very, very hard to get a good education so they can have good jobs in this province,” said Corrigan. “To punish those people that are just trying to do the right thing by going to school, getting jobs and being productive and making our society a better place, I think that’s a vindictive and petty thing to do.” Corrigan took the petition to the legislature on Wednesday. andrea.peacock@vicnews.com
Victoria’s economy is expected to grow faster in 2015 than it did in 2014, but more jobs are needed in the region, said Dallas Gislason, economic development officer for the Greater Victoria Development Agency, at an economic development forum this week. “Victoria is a very stable economy,” said Gislason. “I don’t think we’ll ever be a fast-growth economy, but we need to figure out as a community how to move that metre.” In 2014, Victoria’s GDP growth was 0 per cent. “If I took that to a few more decimal points, we actually did grow, but the way it’s rounded off it looks like 0.0 per cent,” said Gislason. This year, Victoria’s GDP is expected to grow by 1.9 per cent. Gislason said one major reason for growth this year is the state of the U.S. economy. “We do have growth occurring in the marketplace, we just need to capitalize on it.” One of the large sectors in Greater Victoria’s economy is the high-tech sector. More than 800 known high-tech companies in the region brought in $3 billion in revenues in 2014 collectively. This translates to $4 billion in economic impact, said Gislason. “Victoria’s high tech sector is very much alive. The big companies are doing well, which translates to job creation, which actually creates momentum in other sectors because they all have suppliers that they work with.” An important factor in improving Victoria’s economic development in the next year will be attracting skilled workers and creating jobs for those workers, said Gislason.

Sock toss to bring warmth to needy Andrea Peacock Victoria News
Having warm feet is essential for those living on the street, says Rev. Beth Walker, Fairfield United Church minister, who is organizing a sock toss for Victoria’s homeless community. To help, Sir Douglas Elementary School and Margaret Jenkins Elementary School have been collecting socks for April 2’s sock toss assemblies. At Sir James Douglas, the class that brings the most socks will be able to throw the socks at Walker, Rev. Gail Miller and vice-principal Murray Harris. At Margaret Jenkins, students will throw socks at mayor Lisa Helps, Coun. Chris Coleman, Don Evans from Our Place, Walker, Miller and principal Brett Johnson. “I think people want to help, and they’re looking for ways to help, and socks are accessible,” Walker says. “The most encouraging part of this is raising awareness about the plight of the homeless in our society.” The socks will be donated to Our Place Society, where 100 pairs of socks are given away every day, says Grant McKenzie, director of communications at Our Place. “Keeping your feet dry is one of the most important things you can do to stay healthy when living on the streets,” McKenzie says. “The homeless community doesn’t have access to laundry facilities, so they need more socks. It’s one of the biggest needs that we find.” To donate socks to the sock toss, contact Rev. Beth Walker at 250-384-2425, or drop them off at Fairfield United Church at 1303 Fairfield Rd. andrea.peacock@vicnews.com

Victoria artist earns Gov. General Award Victoria’s Sandra Meigs – known for her expressive, eclectic art primarily in the mediums of acrylic and oil and featuring large-scale works – was named as the winner of a 2015 Governor General’s Award for Visual and Media Arts. A professor with the University of Victoria’s Department of Visual Arts since 1993, Meigs has led a distinguished 35-year arts career beginning in Halifax, with exhibits in galleries across North America and in Europe. She is one of only eight winners announced by the Canada Council for the Arts. “It’s such an honour to be recognized in this capacity for my career as an artist,” said Meigs, who believes that working in Victoria is one of the factors that set her work apart. “I like the sense of delight or freedom it gives me. I take what I do here and show it in Toronto and people always say, ‘Oh, that’s so fresh!’” A member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Artists, Meigs has maintained an active exhibition schedule since 1979, with more than 40 solo and 60 group exhibitions in Canada’s most culturally relevant institutions. Her work has been collected by the National Gallery of Canada, Art Gallery of Ontario, The Banff Centre, the Canada Council Art Bank and the Musée d’art contemporain. The multiple award winner has also represented Canada in the Fifth

Victoria’s Sandra Meigs, 2015 Governor General’s Award for Visual and Media Arts. Biennale of Sydney, Australia, in 1984. “This award represents our country’s highest honour in our profession, and publicly recognizes a lifetime of achievement and contribution to this field of research,” said Paul Walde, chair of UVic’s Department of Visual Arts.
MAYNE ISLAND Closer than you think.
“Throughout her career at UVic, Sandra has continued to distinguish herself and the department through her outstanding work as an artist and professor.” “Just when you think you have a handle on how Meigs will next explore psychological or physical space, her passion and focus changes shape and direction,” added Dr. Lynne Van Luven, acting dean of UVic’s Faculty of Fine Arts. Meigs will be presented with a $25,000 cash prize and unique commemorative medallion by Gov. Gen. David Johnston at a ceremony at Rideau Hall in Ottawa on April 8 and will participate in a special exhibit of 2015 winners at the National Gallery of Canada, running April 9 to Aug. 30. Meigs is only the second UVic scholar to be awarded a Governor General’s Award for Visual Arts, alongside sculptor and professor emeritus Mowry Baden in 2006. She has also been a mentor for generations of artists, including UVic alumni Patrick Howlett, Althea Thauberger and Marianne Nicholson. 2015 marks the 15th anniversary of the Governor General’s Awards in Visual and Media Arts. Created in 1999 by the Canada Council for the Arts and the Governor General of Canada, the awards celebrate Canada’s vibrant arts community and recognize remarkable careers in the visual and media arts.

Power to Be program director honoured Andrea Peacock Victoria News
Getting outside and experiencing nature offers mental healing like no other, according to the staff at Power to Be in Victoria. The non-profit organization takes kids and adults with mental and physical disabilities and challenges into nature to help them discover their potential. “We try to reduce those barriers and create those opportunities for them to get out there and experience things that anyone else can enjoy,” said Jason Cole, director of programs at Power to Be. “I think nature and outdoor activities give a sense of challenge and an opportunity to really evoke that in yourself.” Programs include kayaking, rock climbing, hiking, canoeing and more. Each program is tailored to the individuals in the group to help them increase their access to outdoor adventure experiences. Carinna Kenigsberg, program manager at Power to Be, said the most rewarding part for her is seeing the participants grow internally and externally.
“It’s a massive, lifelong, everlasting change, even from being in a two-hour kayaking program, to being in a long-term program – a sense of selfconfidence, a new interest in a sport or activity, a complete connection to something natural in our environment that they otherwise never would have been able to get to or appreciate,” she said. In 2014, Power to Be worked with more than 75 community agencies, 300-plus individual partners and served more than 1,000 participants. “We try to provide an opportunity for anyone who feels they have a need,” Corrigan said. “We’ve never had to turn anyone around and say that they can’t fit into our programs. We would just design a way that they could.” Through his work with Power to Be, Cole recently won a Vancouver Island Top 20 Under 40 Business and Community Achievement Award. “The fact that I was put forward by my team was what meant the most to me,” Cole said. “To see the community reflect back that they value the work I do was also very humbling and inspiring for me to keep doing more.” For more information, visit online at powertobe. ca, email info@powertobe.ca or call 250-385-2363. andrea.peacock@vicnews.com

Victoria commuters still waiting Last week, B.C. Transportation Minister Todd Stone trumpeted the province’s long-awaited transportation plan as “a roadmap for the next 10 years on how we will expand and improve the quality of life for us all.” The B.C. On the Move plan is the result of 13,000 responses from British Columbians about their perceived infrastructure priorities. But the lack of detail in the plan is frustrating, given the hype of its release by the province. It didn’t take 13,000 responses to inform the government that Vancouver Island’s top traffic problem remains the logjam at McKenzie Avenue/Admirals Road and Highway 1. It is an intersection many Victoria employees use during their daily commute to and from downtown. Anyone anticipating a specific timeline and commitment to an interchange at the intersection had to be disappointed with the announcement. The ministry did commit to revisiting the potential for a future interchange at the busy intersection as a way to ease congestion along the commuter route. Cost is clearly the major factor for an interchange, which some estimates put in the $80-million to $100-million range. While the Conservative government dispensed with its infrastructure grants some years back, in an election year, who knows what might happen? Then again, finding money for an interchange would gain more traction if we had a sitting government MP.

Readers respond: Puddles and pedestrian safety The saga of the ever-growing puddle What grows up to five feet wide and 70 feet long when it rains? That would be the puddle in front of our home. I brought it to the city’s attention when Mayor Lowe was in office. Result: They sent out a photographer. Curbs and sidewalks came and took a look – “Not our problem that’s a roads problem.” Roads showed up a few days later. “Not our problem, that’s a curbs and sidewalk problem.” The result? It’s still there and getting bigger every year. The crows and raccoons love it for dunking their food. Kids love it for dunking their boots. It stinks like a sewer in the sun and gives you a fun slide into the drive when it freezes. I emailed the city this year because it is getting longer. They sent a man out to rake
the leaves off the top. That was two months ago. Haven’t heard a word since. Oh, did I mention that the storm drain is just 20 feet away? Doesn’t do anything. It just sits there hoping that the water will defy gravity and somehow flow up hill. Gotta love this city. Ray Forbes Victoria
Encroaching drivers endanger pedestrians I am becoming increasingly concerned about the reckless corner-cutting drivers who keep encroaching more and more on the sidewalk domain of pedestrians like me. It is now almost routine for some motorists to drive their cars onto the edge of the sidewalk when turning the corner at a number of major intersections. This is an especially bad

problem, for example, with drivers turning left at the northeast corner of Fort and Douglas, turning right at the southwest corner of Oak Street and Saanich Road and turning right at the southwest corner of Harriet and Burnside. At all three of these intersections I have witnessed several close calls in which pedestrians have almost been struck by sidewalk-intruding vehicles. Clearly this is an extremely dangerous situation and something should be done to protect pedestrians. One possible solution, for example, might be placing cylindrical metal poles at the edges of the sidewalks at these intersections. In any case, I hope some type of action is taken to deal with these problems of the corners before they start creating some problems for the coroners. Gordon Pollard Victoria

The Dulwich show, the first dedicated Emily Carr exhibition in the UK, provides British audiences with an opportunity to learn about her idiosyncratic life, her intimate knowledge of First Nations coastal communities and how her painting style and subject matter changed over time. Just as significantly, the artwork loan positioned the Royal BC Museum as a lender of significance, placing it on the European stage. However, lending (and borrowing) artifacts, specimens and artwork to other institutions is not a new approach for the museum. This past year alone, it has made loans to 23 institutions around the world, from Prague to Quingdao. As the museum develops its 2015 feature exhibition, Gold Rush! El Dorado in B.C., it has already struck partnerships with museums as far away as Colombia and China to borrow artifacts and send components as a travelling exhibition. ••• Erik Lambertson is the corporate communications officer with the Royal B.C.

The Victoria Royals head into the Western Hockey league’s playoffs tonight with the first game of an opening round best-of-seven series against the Prince George Cougars. The Royals’ ended their regular season with a 39-29-4 record, second-best in the team’s nine-year franchise (Victoria Royals/Chilliwack Bruins) history. Only the 2013/14 season was better with 48 games won. The team finished regular season play last weekend with a twogame win/loss split with the Everett Silvertips. Coach Dave Lowry hopes his players remember how they played in that final regular season win. “We have to bring that emotion from Saturday to the playoffs”. He says his team is in great shape for the series. “Our energy levels are good and we just need some minor tweaking,” he says. The Cougars will be a strong opponent, he added. “They’ve been playing with a playoff mindset and feel good about their game right now.”
Third-year goalie Coleman Vollrath agrees with his coach’s assessment of the Cougars. They’ve been playing desperate hockey to make the playoffs,” he says. As for his own team, “we can’t look too far ahead, we have to focus on this series and we have to match their intensity,” Vollrath says. “Our practices have been intense and personally I’ve been working on tracking the puck,” he says. The Royals have home ice advantage starting with two games (tonight and Saturday) at the SaveOn-Foods Memorial Centre before heading north to Prince George. Travel is a minor factor for the team. The Royals will head out to Prince George Monday morning, even though they don’t play until Wednesday, due to the distance. The reality is “travel is the same for both teams,” Lowry says. “That’s just hockey.” To save time on their return to Victoria, the team will leave immediately after their Thursday night game, travel as far as 100 Mile House, stay overnight and then leave early Friday, which should

allow them to catch the 5 p.m. ferry back to the Island for a fifth game (if needed) on Saturday, April 4. Victoria is ranked fifth in the Western Conference while Prince George sits at seventh. The Cougars ended their season with a 31-36-5 record. This is the first time in four years the Cougars have made the playoffs. The two teams have an interesting history with the Cougars being originally from Victoria, before the longtime local franchise was moved in 1994. Last word on the series goes to goaltender Vollrath: “This is an exciting time, these (playoffs) are the times every hockey player lives for.” The puck drops at 7:05 p.m. for tonight’s opening game.

The regular season is just that when hockey heads into the playoffs. The playoffs are often made on breakout performances by athletes. That said, let’s look at how the Victoria Royals and the Prince George Cougars match up from their regular season play. Victoria Royals defenceman Joe Hicketts will finish off a highly satisfying year as he leads his team into the WHL playoffs. Hicketts, who stands in second place for scoring with 64 points, coming from 12 goals and 52 assists, was chosen as the team’s most valuable player as he took home the National Bank Financial MVP Award. The product of Kamloops, BC also earned the Wilson’s Transportation Top Defenceman award and The Keg Fans’ Choice award during the team’s awards ceremony last Sunday. Hicketts also became the first Royal ever to play for Hockey Canada’s National Junior Team, joining Royals’ coach Dave Lowry at the World Junior Championships in Toronto and Montreal for the 2015 championships. Hicketts isn’t Victoria’s only strength, of course. Goalie Coleman Vollrath is riding a hot streak to enter the playoffs. The 20-year-old was recently chosen Vaughn CHL Goaltender of the Week after posting a 3-0-0-0 record that included two shutout wins. Vollrath’s team shutout streak ended at 152 minutes and 10 seconds which was good enough to break Patrick Polivka’s record from last year. It left him just 1 minute and 46 seconds short of the all-time shutout record held by Matt Esposito in the 06-07 season, when the team was still the Chilliwack Bruins. Vollrath isn’t Victoria’s only power in goal. Both Royals goalies made the WHL’s top 20 list. Vollrath sits in the 15th spot while Justin Paulic holds down the 20th slot. Top scorer for the team this year is Austin Carroll. The team veteran potted 38 goals and added 39 assists for a 77

Right behind Carroll and Hicketts on the scoreboard are Tyler Soy with 28 goals and 35 assists and Brandon Magee at 23 and 38. Prince George will be coming in with the hot hands of Chase Witala with 38 goals and 31 assists while his teammate Jansen Harkins, who only scored 20 goals, has more points as he had an amazing 59 assists for the season. Another player to watch is Zach Pochiro, who only played in 41 games this season, but managed to rack up 42 points with 19 goals and 23 assists in that time. The Cougars goaltending doesn’t appear as potent as the Royals with Ty Edmonds sitting at 26th in the rankings.

SCRAP-IT announced its new incentive program here last week, which offers a $3,000 rebate for electric car purchasers if they scrap a 2000 or older vehicle. This is in addition to the newly announced provincial government program detailed in our main story today. The LEAF will be on display at the SCRAP-IT booth throughout this weekend at the Vancouver International Auto Show, in the Vancouver Convention Centre West.

Golf Sportwagon scores a hole in one
By Zack Spencer
Austin, TX – The latest seventh generation Volkswagen Golf has been a huge hit, winning the World Car of the Year award, along with the North American Car of the Year and several other titles.
Looks
One could be forgiven for not noticing the major changes in this 2015 model but that is the way VW likes to do things-- keep the exterior looking familiar, yet radically update the things that are less obvious. The one thing that should get any buyer’s attention is the new starting price of $22,495, which is roughly $1,100 less than the last model. In addition, the base model gets standard 15-inch alloy wheels, heated seats, Bluetooth and a backup camera for a total of $2,000 of additional value. The Sportwagon is sold as the base Trendline, the middle $24,695 Comfortline and the $30,495 Highline, with a $1,400 premium for an automatic transmission and $2,300 more for a TDI diesel engine. Inside This Sportwagon is a true sport utility vehicle. It has the lower, sportier stance of a car coupled with a huge cargo area that would put most small crossovers to shame. The front seats are heated and the rear seats
split and fold. The remainder of the cabin is the same as the regular Golf family, with front and rear passenger dimensions the same except for rear passenger headroom, which makes way for the beautiful panoramic sunroof. The dash has high quality switches and dials and even the base model is fitted with a 14.7cm (5.8-inch) radio screen that doubles as a backup camera. This screen size is a bit on the small side but VW will increase the size slightly when the 2016 model arrives this fall.
Drive
What can’t be seen but is instantly obvious when driving is the new 170hp 1.8L turbocharged base engine, that is so much more advanced and responsive, compared to the old, less efficient 5-cylinder in the previous model. This engine has superb mid-range torque and it runs on less expensive regular fuel. It’s efficient too, using 9.5L/100km in the city and 6.6L on the highway. The optional diesel, with 150hp, but more importantly, 236 lb.-ft. of torque is only marginally more efficient, rated at 7.7L city and 5.4L on the highway. Considering this engine is $2,300 more expensive, the new turbo gasoline engine will certainly be a sensible choice for drivers that don’t pile on the kms. The gasoline engine gets a 5-speed

manual or a 6-speed automatic; the diesel gets a 6-speed manual or the high-tech duel clutch automatic. It’s too bad both engines are not offered with the TDI’s transmissions. Great news for VW fans, waiting for all wheel drive (AWD), the 2017 model will arrive with AWD in the Sportwagon and that technology should spread to the rest of the Golf line.

Verdict
Volkswagen held the launch event for this Sportwagon in Texas, hoping for beautiful sunny weather but we were treated to pouring rain. With the wipers plugging away and the radio on, this latest Golf feels all grown up, almost “Audi Light”. The smooth power, along with the good feedback to the driver, plus the well-insulated cabin reminds us why this car has won so many awards. The Sportwagon takes all the goodness of the hatchback and shares it in a slightly longer and more useful package. If you are in the market for a small sport utility, give this truly sporty utility a try.

ARTHRITIS
Pain free in 2 weeks. This is what happened to me personally. I tried drugs, acupuncture, magnets and many other methods. Finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. It gave me the idea that I could help thousands of the 5 million men and women suffering daily in Canada with the worst pain on earth to have less pain or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle. <For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage #1 spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night with 3 bottles costing less than $100. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON. <Cancelled knee replacement. 1 was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK. <At first I was skeptical. I gradually noticed an improvement. Then I took another brand. I was surprised having so much pain again. Eventually I realized that I needed to re-order Bell. Found relief again. Marie Ciraulo, 72, Oakland, CA. <Many people on our website write: “Can walk again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without #1 NPN 80042283 hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can sleep at night” Rheumatoid arthritis in joints down 90%, same for my sister…Also guaranteed for sciatica. Hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.

Ad Due: 17th Deion Green competes atMarch a selection camp for the 2015 Canadian Senior Men’s National Wheelchair Basketball Team at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre in December 2014.
athlete shoots for gold with national b-ball team Victoria athlete Deion Green is having a busy week in Ottawa. The national team member is playing in the 2015 Americas Wheelchair Basketball Challenge, where Team Canada will be facing down rivals from Argentina, Brazil and the USA. Green has been a resident of Victoria since 2006, when he and his family moved here from Winnipeg. His mom was actually born and raised in Victoria so he has deep roots in the city. Green attended St. Andrew’s Regional High School from Grade 10 to graduation. Green says he got involved in wheelchair basketball by word of mouth. “All my friends were getting taller so it was becoming difficult to continue playing stand-up basketball
with them,” he recalls. “So my mom was looking for a way for me to stay involved with the sport I loved so much. When she found out there was a wheelchair basketball league based out of Richmond, she took me to check it out,” he says. “Ever since that first day I discovered wheelchair basketball I’ve been in love with the sport and have now devoted my life to it.” As a member of the national team Green has a grueling schedule. He trains Monday through Friday every week. He has on-court practice from 8 to 10 a.m. and another on-court practice in the afternoon. Please see: Basketball, Page A19

Tuesdays and Thursday bring what he calls “prehab” between practices – exercises his trainer has put together that focus on shoulder repair and health. This kind of training is an important part of his regime because wheelchair basketball is quite rough on the shoulders. Asked about the high point of his career so far, Green says, “making Team Canada two years in a row now. “The largest competition I will play in so far as a member of the National Team will be the PanAm Games this coming sum-

Some of my teammates have been on the National Team for 10-plus years and haven’t lost the passion even a little bit,” Green says. “Many of my teammates have gold medals from previous Paralympics and every time I’ve seen one all I can think to myself is, ‘I got to get me one,’ and I know I can only do that through hard work.” Green is looking ahead to this summer when Toronto hosts
the PanAm games, which will be the team’s biggest challenge this year. “Team Canada needs to place first or second in the games in order to qualify for the Paralympics in 2016. We have been training extremely hard towards that goal and feel quit confident we can achieve it,” Green says. “We are more of a rookie team than we have been in the past, so team bonding and trust is still developing. “But with our hard work and dedication I have no doubt we will make it to the level we need to be at to come out on top as the first place team at the PanAm Games.”

Celebrate Palm Sunday with a Heritage Hymn Festival featuring the Arion Male Voice Choir. On Sunday, March 29, the First Metropolitan United Church’s Music Team is presenting a Heritage Hymn Festival featuring the Arion Choir. The choir has sung continually since its founding in 1892, during the reign of Queen Victoria. It predates the British Columbia Parliament Buildings (1897) and the Empress Hotel (1908). In fact, it’s the oldest continually performing male voice choir in Canada. This concert and hymn sing-along will be conducted by Peter Dent and will feature Fran Pollet on the organ. With admission by donation, everyone is invited to join their voices in this rousing musical celebration of beloved hymns, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. in the First Met Church sanctuary, 932 Balmoral Rd.

Long-awaited Shire selling fast Travis Paterson Black Press
It took eight years to gather the land at 3316 Quadra St., including that of the pioneer Holt family, and the payoff is finally here in the form of The Shire, a three-building condo development. “It was a lot of work and a long wait to assemble all eight properties,” said real estate agent Chuck Meagher, in charge of The Shire’s marketing. “It started with identifying the land, which is hard to find in Saanich in the first place.” The builders are Jim Mclaren and Dave Vidalin, who’re also launching The Landmark development in Langford, atop Captain Langford’s original Colwood Farm (it includes the original stone Colwood dairy house). The target demographic for The Shire is wide open, Meagher said. “This particular develop-

Instead of specifically targeting second-time buyers, or empty nesters, or first-time buyers, they’re instead try-

still be relevant in five years.” Ground is set to break this week (or next) on the first two of the three buildings. Building A will have 25 units and building B is slightly larger at 35. There are eight different
floor plans, another unique element to the building. And they’re selling at an even pace. Building A is already sold out and B had sold 10 of 35 units as of earlier this week. Building C will have 31 units and is expected to go ahead in 2016. The buildings are built to Green CHBA standards and has minimal additional facilities. While a common balcony sits over the entry of each building the amenities have been limited to keep strata fees down, Meagher said. “If you put in a games room or a sauna, a small number of people use it and everyone pays. The second question all buyers ask is, ‘What are the strata fees?’ It’s a big concern.” For more information, go online to theshirecondos.ca editor@vicnews.com

Drivers must vacate the left lane when a vehicle comes up behind them, unless they are passing another vehicle, avoiding debris on the road, allowing traffic to merge from the right, preparing to turn left or passing an official vehicle stopped on the highway. That will be the rule any time when the speed limit is 80 km/h or higher and traffic is moving at more than 50 km/h, under changes coming to the Motor Vehicle Act. Hogging the left lane and holding up traffic is already a ticket offence, but one that police found difficult to enforce due to the wording of the legislation, said Transportation Minister Todd Stone. The fine continues to be $109 for unnecessary use of the left lane. Stone said slow drivers in the left lane are a big frustration, prompting drivers to pass on the right, which is also illegal. The changes are not intended to encourage people to exceed the speed limit in the left lane, he said.
Amendments tabled in the B.C. legislature Monday also aim to clarify the province’s roadside driving prohibition law, after court challenges. That law gives police powers to impound vehicles and suspend driving privileges for up to 90 days after a driver blows a “warn” or “fail” level of blood alcohol on a roadside screening device. The “immediate roadside prohibition” program took effect in 2010, effectively replacing most impaired driving charges with administrative penalties, including a three-day driving ban and a $200 administrative fee for those who register between 0.05 and 0.08, if the police officer has reason to believe the driver is impaired.

Drive
What can’t be seen but is instantly obvious when driving is the new 170hp 1.8L turbocharged base engine, that is so much more advanced and responsive, compared to the old, less efficient 5-cylinder in the previous model. This engine has superb midrange torque and it runs on less expensive regular fuel. It’s efficient too, using 9.5L/100km in the city and 6.6L on the highway. The optional diesel, with 150hp, but more importantly, 236 lb.-ft. of torque is only marginally more efficient, rated at 7.7L city and 5.4L on the highway. Considering this engine is $2,300 more expensive, the new turbo gasoline engine will certainly be a sensible choice for drivers that don’t pile on the kms. The gasoline engine gets a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic; the diesel gets a 6-speed manual or the high-tech duel clutch automatic. It’s too bad both engines are not offered with the TDI’s transmissions. Great news for VW fans, waiting for all wheel drive (AWD), the
Volkswagen held the launch event for this Sportwagon in Texas, hoping for beautiful sunny weather but we were treated to pouring rain. With the wipers plugging away and the radio on, this latest Golf feels all grown up, almost “Audi Light”. The smooth power, along with the good feedback to the driver, plus the well-insulated cabin reminds us why this car has won so many awards. The Sportwagon takes all the goodness of the hatchback and shares it in a slightly longer and more useful package.

ARTHRITIS
Pain free in 2 weeks. This is what happened to me personally. I tried drugs, acupuncture, magnets and many other methods. Finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. It gave me the idea that I could help thousands of the 5 million men and women suffering daily in Canada with the worst pain on earth to have less pain or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle. <For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage #1 spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night with 3 bottles costing less than $100. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON. <Cancelled knee replacement. 1 was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK. <At first I was skeptical. I gradually noticed an improvement. Then I took another brand. I was surprised having so much pain again. Eventually I realized that I needed to re-order Bell. Found relief again. Marie Ciraulo, 72, Oakland, CA. <Many people on our website write: “Can walk again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without #1 NPN 80042283 hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can sleep at night” Rheumatoid arthritis in joints down 90%, same for my sister…Also guaranteed for sciatica. Hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.

Dr. Louis Rolland, 72, St. Hyacinthe, QC <Having orgasms off the Richter scale. It’s like I’m a teenager again. The world owes you big time.

Hammoud M.H., Ph.D. recommends this effective fish peptide blood pressure natural product. So does Dr. Julian Whitaker M.D. Truthful actual experiences from real people: <I was on 3 blood pressure drugs that did not work well. After starting Bell #26 my readings are generally well below 120/80. Dona A. Anderson, 76, Sooke, BC < My blood pressure was 157/90 and I had side effects from prescription drugs. I bought a monitor. After 6 months on Bell #26 I was down to 120/80. Toni L. McCuistion, 52, Elizabethtown, PA < Blood pressure went from 170/110 down to 110/70. Was on three medications that didn’t help. Within a month on Bell#26 my BP dropped to 110/70. I thought I didn’t need it anymore and the BP went up to 170/110 again. I will now stay on Bell. I am surprised about its effectiveness without side effects. Bell exceeds my expectations. Patrick McManus, 52, Edmonton, AB < At work my driver’s medical test was too high at 170/100.

Rally driving as an art form By Alexandra Straub
Dalton, New Hampshire – “Every day’s a school day,” is a popular saying a friend of mine often references. Just because we’re not in a formal establishment, with books in hand, or loose leaf paper in front of us, it doesn’t mean we’re not learning. Some lessons are tougher than others are and we can’t wait for them to be over. Then again, there are some school days we just don’t want to end. One of those days was with the Team O’Neil Rally School located in the middle of nowhere, New Hampshire. The school is housed on close to 600 acres of land meaning, there’s room to stretch out for those new to the art. I call it an art because it really is. Rally driving is about the fine balance of finesse with throttle, brake and steering input. Like brushstrokes on a canvas! Make a few mistakes and, well, it’s not a pretty picture. In the journey to master car control skills, there’s also about 10 kilometres of rally-ready trails – which can be driven in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction to mix things up – so there’s not much room for boredom. While I’d been to the school previously, the conditions were completely different.
The dry, dirt-covered earth from summertime was now replaced with snow, ice and all the slipperiness your heart desires, thanks to Old Man Winter. Equipped with newfound knowledge, or knowledge that was sitting on the shelf and just needed a little dusting off, the short opening classroom session was not only educational, but fantastically entertaining and funny. With that completed, the group of Canadian journalists headed out to our chariots. They just happened to be Ford Fiestas. If Ford’s subcompact wasn’t fun enough to drive in a “normal” setting, it sure was here. The Fiestas have mainly stock components, aside from rollover bars, fourpoint seat belts, Bilstein heavy-duty suspension components and performance brake pads. Perhaps that’s what was so appealing. Here were these 120 horsepowered cars, slipping and sliding (sometimes) with grace and poise, and the amount of mirth to be had was limitless. The objective of the day was to factor in left-foot braking techniques on an oval, in a slalom and via what rallying calls the Scandinavian flick. It’s frustrating and rewarding at the same time knowing that
More shocking new electric car incentives...
the difference between doing it correctly or screwing it up is really only within the gentle feathering of the brakes or the addition of a little more throttle. Once you find the sweet spot, you want to ride it out for as long as you can. Or until you get too confident and end up in a snow bank! Oops. You still have to be mindful of the surface conditions underneath. But that’s what the school is for. Should your vehicle start dancing when you don’t want it too, you’ll be ready to mitigate damage, or avoid it all together. It gives you a feel for the
ever-changing environment and how to be proactive rather than reactive. And while it was all fun and games behind the wheel, it was equally a treat to have a fellow Canuck, a pro nonetheless, take us for a couple of hot laps and show us how it’s really done. Andrew Comrie-Picard (ACP for short) was on hand and put my day’s efforts to shame when he combined all the techniques we had learned, blended them seamlessly together, and then did it a hundred times faster. This day, I learned that
