Six-month drug drought creating headaches for Victoria-area pharmacistsDaniel PalmerNews staff

Greater Victoria pharmacists are dealing with an extraor-dinary scarcity in certain injectable drugs.

While shortages are common occurrences in the health-care industry, the supply of anesthetics, narcotic pain relievers and other sedatives has dwindled since the coun-try’s largest manufacturer, Sandoz, reduced output at its sole Canadian plant in February.

“It’s been an unusual or unique situation,” said Caren Heughan, Victoria pharmacist and B.C. Pharmacy Associa-tion board member. “But shortages are something we deal with on a regular basis.”

Heughan, who works at Victoria Compounding Phar-macy, said pharmacists often work around shortages by finding alternative forms of the medication in oral or cap-sule formats.

But in necessary cases, Heughan has been forced to contact drug manufacturers to access an emergency sup-ply of hard-to-find medications.

“The manufacturer does have a small amount of these medications on allocation so the pharmacist can some-times request emergency quantity,” she said.

The injectables shortage impacts hospitals as well, but the fear of postponed surgeries from a lack of anesthetics is unfounded, said VIHA spokeswoman Susan Evans.

“There’s been a shortage of drugs for a number of months, going back to February,” she said. “It’s an issue that really lies with the supplier.”

Sandoz Canada’s plant, located in Boucherville, Que., specializes in the production of specific injectable generic drugs.

Victoria couple leaves gift to hospitals

The Victoria Hospitals Foundation is thanking a generous couple for a $100,000 estate donation.

Anna Evelyn and John Thomas Goodrick left the donation to the Building Care Together campaign, which helps purchase state-of-the-art equipment for Royal Jubilee Hospital’s new patient care centre.

“We know that this kind of donation speaks volumes about the person who made the gift since significant thought and planning was needed,” campaign co-chair Ted Hughes said in a statement.

The couple’s family friend, Jim Brownrigg, presented the donation at a press conference at Royal Jubilee Hospital on Thursday.

The donation brings the campaign total to $12,435,000.

Synagogue opens doors to the public

Canada’s oldest Jewish house of worship is opening its doors to the public this month in Victoria.

The Emanu-El synagogue, located at 1461 Blanshard St., turns 150 next year and wants to share its stories with residents.

Greater Victoria is home to many Jewish firsts in Canada: the first Jewish judge, member of Parliament and mayor were all from the region. Their stories and others will be told by Shoshana Litman, the first ordained female Jewish storyteller in Canada.

The Romanesque revival building is one of the last remaining by Scottich architect, John Wright.

Half-hour tours cost $5 and run on Tuesdays and Thursdays until Aug. 30 at 11 a.m., noon, 1 or 2 p.m. Doors open 15 minutes beforehand.

Victoria’s outdoor water fountains offer a refreshing break for walkers, joggers and dogs

Arnold LimNews staff

Tristie Pugh slows the churning of her legs.

In the midst of a 25-kilometre run she

halts the pumping of her arms, slowing down just enough to wind down in front of a grey water fountain overlooking Ross Bay Beach. Bikers and fellow runners glide by as she fills her water bottle and takes a long gulp from the fountain.

“My runs are longer so I need the fountains to stay hydrated,” she said wiping the sweat from her forehead.

“I actually run this route because of the cold air from the beach and the water fountains.”

Pugh makes three to five fountain pit stops during her

1.5- to 2.5-hour runs, depending on how hot it is, stopping at fountains she knows are well used.

She doesn’t vary her route often because hydration opportunities along Dallas Road are frequent, as opposed to other routes with limited offerings and less pleasant water.

“I find the ones in Oak Bay have a rusty flavour,” she said. “I would love to run the (Galloping) Goose but they need more fountains.”

Up the road at Clover Point, Reilly quenches her thirst by plunging her face into the water fountain. Cool water drips from her face, water gluing facial hair to her cheeks before her owner tugs on her dog leash and leads the golden doodle away.

Many of the fountains in Victoria include an attached dog bowl that fills with fresh water every time the fountain is activated.

Allison Green’s dog, Cal, is next in a line longer for dogs than humans and laps up the water below, while Green takes a sip of her own from above.

“They are a godsend for everyone, for the dog as well,” she said smiling. “Fresh water is survival.”

The two of them walk Dallas Road and Clover Point as often as they can, and the Esquimalt

resident appreciates the fountains that keep her and her dog cool under a hot, cloudless sky.

In addition to dog walkers, runners, bikers and even practitioners of hot yoga, Green believes Victoria’s 33 water fountains serve a social need as well.

“We should be helping the elderly and homeless. We have to look out for them in hot weather or provide them with water,” she said. “We have to take care of each other.”

Back at Ross Bay Beach, Stephanie Spicer and her husband Tye pace themselves through their weekly five- to 10-kilometre jog. They don’t use the fountain often but are glad to see them.

“We have experienced some hot weather recently and having it available for the public is a good idea,” Tye said. Given the off-leash dog parks, I think it is a great thing for (dogs), walkers and kids,” he said, before Stephanie adds, “It is part of healthy living.”

Bambi fights backWoman chased by deer calls for CRD action

Daniel PalmerNews staff

A Victoria woman who was chased by an aggressive deer last week is afraid to walk in her own neighbourhood.

Mary-Jo Morin, a Rockland neighbourhood resident, said she was walking her dog Aug. 14 on Rockland Avenue when a deer came within a metre of her and exhibited extremely aggres-sive behaviour.

“I started screaming, my neighbours came out and chased it off,” Morin said, add-ing the incident is the fourth encounter she’s had with what she believes is the same animal and her fawns.

“If she had got me with her hooves or my dog, we would have been really badly hurt,” she said.

Morin called a provincial con-servation officer, who attended the area but was unable to locate the deer.

“He asked me to take a picture of the deer next time. I said that would be a bit difficult because I was running away from it,” she said.

Conservation officers rank

calls by the level of risk to the public, and with only one officer on shift in the Capital Region at any given time, bear and cougar sightings tend to take priority.

“We’re getting a lot more calls about aggressive deer, but so far, nobody’s been injured by them,” said conservation officer Peter Pauwels. “Some pets have been attacked, but no people have been injured.”

Pauwels said conservation officers have only two options with deer – kill them, or leave

them alone.“We don’t move deer,” he said,

adding that tranquilization only occurs when an animal is con-fined to an area, such as when cougars climb a tree.

“If it’s a serious threat to public safety, we’ll have to put it down. But in 20 years on the job, I’ve never heard of a deer attacking a person,” he said.

The Capital Regional District’s 10-member deer management committee is nearing its Sept. 5 deadline for a final report on how to deal with urban deer. The public input component of the process closed Wednesday, which will be included along with technical information in the committee’s recommendations.

“My feeling is now that it’s probably not going to be a case (where) the board gets the final report and then quickly makes a firm and final decision. I suspect there will be a lot further dis-cussion,” CRD chair Geoff Young told the News.

Morin hopes the CRD can come to a conclusion so she can regain a sense of safety in her neighbourhood.

“We went through the bunny situation (at the University of Victoria), it took them years to resolve that. Now, there are so many deer around that you can’t walk anywhere. I’ve started car-rying a golf club,” she said.

Edward HillNews staff

Greater Victoria seniors needing round-the-clock care will have a modern 260-bed facil-ity in about two years as construction gets underway this week in Saanich.

The seven-storey residential care build-ing is the next addi-tion to the Mount View Heights campus of care on Carey Road, and will replace two existing seniors facilities in the city.

The $60.5-million building, called The Heights at Mount View, includes 220 residen-tial care units and 40 dementia care units, funded through a part-nership with Capital Regional Hospital Dis-trict, the Vancouver Island Health Authority and Baptist Housing.

Each unit is designed as a private room with an ensuite washroom and a shower, and each floor has a central liv-ing area.

Howard Johnson, CEO of Baptist Hous-ing said this is a dis-tinct move away from dorm-like facilities built 30 years ago that may have had residents sharing rooms, or using common washrooms.

“This is the state of the art, the latest in how we meet the needs of seniors in a home-like environment,” Johnson said.

“It’s a setting that moves away from an institutional approach to care. It’s a very home-like environment that creates a better delivery of care.”

Under the three-way agreement, Baptist Housing will operate and own the public facil-ity, and has arranged $38 million in financing, the bulk of the capi-tal construction costs. CRHD is contributing $18.1 million in capi-tal costs and is leasing the land to Baptist for 25 years. VIHA will pay annual operating costs, plus funds to pay down Baptist’s loan.

“VIHA is very pleased that we can now make real progress in renew-ing some of the out-dated residential care capacity that is in dire

need of replacement,” Howard Waldner, VIHA’s president and chief executive officer, said in a statement.

Unique to this facility are the 40 units dedi-cated to dementia care, which will allow seniors with early stages of dementia to live as independently as possi-ble, and among people with the same level of mental acuity.

Outdated care mod-els tend to group peo-ple with light dementia with residents needing more intensive care, which only aids in a more rapid decline of light dementia resi-dents, Johnson said.

“We find that when people with light demen-tia move into complex care, they don’t fit in

well with complex resi-dents. Their level of care needs increases dramatically,” he said. “(Dementia care) is an intermediate step. Inde-pendence can be main-tained for a longer time and you don’t decline as fast.”

The other 220 rooms will be focused on resi-dential care, the high-est, most complex level of health care for people who can no lon-ger live independently. Johnson expects the facility to employ about 260 health care work-ers.

Johnson said the building itself will be cutting edge in terms of resident care and safety for its 260 staff members. Each room, for instance, will have a lift-assist machine.

The Heights at Mount View will eventually replace Baptist Hous-ing’s outdated Central Care Home and Mount Edwards Court. Both were designed 35 years ago in an era with far fewer seniors needing complex care.

The Heights building is planned for seven storeys and that hasn’t changed, despite some

resident opposition during the rezoning pro-cess. Saanich council argued that the greater good of the overall project outweighs con-cerns over height. The former school district property is mainly sur-rounded by residential neighbourhoods.

The 260-bed building is half of a greater proj-ect to replace 580 care beds in Greater Victo-ria. Earlier this year Oak Bay council quashed a plan to revamp Oak Bay Lodge for 320 beds by declining a develop-ment variance for Bap-tist Housing.

VIHA expects to ten-der a new request for proposal (RFP) this year for a 320-bed build-ing in the region.

“Baptist Housing is keenly interested at looking at the RFP that VIHA will come out with but until (the RFP) comes out I can’t emphatically say we’ll be applying,” Johnson said.

The Heights at Mount View residential care will join Carey Place (55 units of affordable seniors housing), Vergo townhouses (18 units of affordable rental

housing) and Olympic Vista (36 units for peo-ple at risk of homeless-ness) on the 3.3 hectare [email protected]

Remembering where you came from

Charla HuberNews staff

Anyone who’s ever had a child knows how even a healthy newborn can feel overwhelming.

But when that new baby is taken to inten-sive care, the emotions are almost impossible for most of parents to imagine.

For Dustan and Kerri Roberts, it’s an experi-ence they know all too well. Their 17-month-old daughter Abbygail spent her first three months – 155 days – in the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit.

Having a sick new-born was only half the struggle for the family. They were also mourn-ing the loss of Abby-gail’s twin, who passed away eight days after being born.

Throughout Abby-gail’s stay at the NICU, the staff not only helped care for the child, but they were there for her parents too.

“They really helped with mental support,” said the father.

Last week, the Rob-erts brought their daughter back to Vic-toria General Hospital, but this time it was to celebrate.

They joined other families who have expe-rienced life in the NICU.

The hospital hosted its 28th annual neonatal intensive care reunion party on Aug. 9.

All of the parents and grandparents bonded with each other and the hospital staff was able to see their formerly sick patients thrive.

Those staff helped build some wonderful memories for the Rob-erts family, including Abbygail’s first party.

“On her 100th day in the NICU, I came in and Abbygail was wearing a princess crown. They are our milestones, but not normal milestones,” said Kerri. “It’s really great to see everyone again.”

Dozens of past NICU patients filled the VGH rooftop with their families, some young patients recently dis-charged and others in their 20s. But the emo-tional day is also a spe-cial one for the staff.

“It’s just so encourag-ing to see the big kids,” said Dr. Connie Har-ris, NICU pharmacist. “When we first meet parents in the NICU they are frightened and confused.”

The reunion party is a reminder to Harris and other hospital staff about how their tiny patients grow up and lead fulfilling lives. Har-ris points out it’s tough

to see tiny sick babies and this party allows staff to see the positive outcomes.

It wasn’t that long ago when Shaylene Evans gave birth to her daughter, Aryonna, with a birth weight of three pounds, two ounces.

“She was three months early,” Evans explained quietly. “I had a lot of bawling ses-sions.”

The young mother lives in Ladysmith and was able to stay in Vic-toria to visit her daugh-ter daily through a donation made by the Help Fill a Dream Foun-dation. She stayed at the Easter Seal House in Victoria and took two buses to the hospital.

“I never missed a day,” Evans said. Deal-ing with a newborn with a collapsed lung and seizures was a lot

for the mother, but she said the care her daugh-ter received from the NICU staff was amaz-ing.

While her daughter, Aryonna, has grown into a healthier 18 pound baby, she lives with a chronic lung disease and needs two inhalers everyday.

Other than coming to the hospital to celebrate her daughter’s achieve-ments, Evans also came to help another family.

She’s meeting a cou-ple whose baby is cur-rently in the NICU with the same lung disease. Evans came to give them support and share her experiences.

No matter how long the stay in the NICU, it’s a tough time for any parent to go through.

Robyn Copp’s daugh-ter, Shonagh, spent 11 days in the hospital,

after being born six weeks early.

Now a happy, healthy nine-and-a-half-year-old, she has no recollec-tion of the tough start she had in life. But for her mother, the memo-ries haven’t faded. “It was such a scary time,” recalled Copp, smiling at her daughter beside her. “She was kind of like a half baked cookie.”

OUR VIEW

Playing catchup with care homesWhen people are nearing the end of their

lives, our health system needs public facilities that are safe and respectful, for

the residents and their families.The need, while great now, will only increase

over the next decades as this population of Greater Victoria ages. In the region, about one in every five people is older than 65. About six per cent are older than 80.

Which is why breaking ground on The Heights at Mount View couldn’t come soon enough. Planned for 260 beds, this $60 million residential care facility on Carey Road in Saanich – part of what has been coined “the campus of care” – will replace two older care homes in downtown Victoria.

It’s reasonable that some residents in the Carey Road area are peeved a seven storey building is going up in the midst of mainly single family homes.

Saanich council heard the protests but recognized that the convergence of having public land, funding partners and the political will as too rare to pass up. Rezoning for density and height makes sense in this case, despite breaking the mould for the neighbourhood.

Oak Bay council may want to take a lesson from this. That council denied a few variances to allow Oak Bay Lodge to be redeveloped with 320 care beds. It called the proposed building too big for the neighbourhood.

If communities want their seniors to age in place and near amenities, communities have to play ball and be willing to provide the means to do so.

There are no perfect locations, especially in urban centres, for large residential care buildings. But they remain a necessary option for seniors who can’t care for themselves.

These projects just aren’t about replacing aging beds and old buildings with modern equivalents.

As the operator, Baptist Housing, put it, it’s about moving away from the institutional model of caring for seniors.

To say it another way, it’s trying to get rid of the warehousing of our most vulnerable citizens.

Monday night’s movie screen-ing started earlier than I’d figured.

I thought there was time to sneak home from work, eat dinner and put my kid to bed, before rushing off to cover that Monday movie thing I’ve been hear-ing about.

Turns out it’s the best kept secret around.

I walked into the hallway of the Eric Martin Pavilion at 8 p.m. There’s some-thing about the smell of an old hospital that can slow time. By my count I was 90 minutes late for the start of that night’s documentary, Wiebo’s War.

No sooner was I through the door of the pavilion when I stumbled onto the group. Five people, two couches and a 30 inch tube TV. In the hallway?

So this is Movie Monday?, I thought. It’s smaller than I had pre-dicted, and it seems like a lot of effort for just a few people.

Organizer Bruce Saunders was one of the five sitting in the well-lit hallway, and I knew I was in the right place. There was a giant Mon-day Movie sign and everything.

I sat on the floor of the hallway behind the couches.

Wiebo’s War, if you haven’t seen it, is a fascinating tale about Wiebo Ludwig and the people of Trickle Creek in northern Alberta. And it quickly drew me in.

The community, who are referred to as Ludwigs, explain their fight

against the neighbouring gas mines, which have slowly poisoned them over the past two decades.

Knowing that I was in the Eric Martin Pavilion, which traditionally cared for people with mental health issues, and know-ing Saunders’ own per-sonal history with mental health issues, I was ready for anything.

So when white-linen-suit-guy got up and walked around during the climax of the movie, I judged not. He crossed the hall, opened a door

to a lecture theatre, and disap-peared inside. Boy did I feel smart when, through the open door, I could see the dark theatre was full of people with the same movie on a giant screen.

Oh, that’s Movie Monday.“We provide the TV and couches

in the hallway so people can come and go,” Saunders explained to me later. “Some people don’t like to sit down too long, and we like to accommodate if we can.”

When the movie ended I entered the main theatre. It was nearly full, and almost everyone stayed put as the lights came on. Saunders took the microphone, held it to a speak-erphone and phoned the director of Wiebo’s War, David York.

“Hi David.”“Hi Bruce.”York fielded 80 minutes worth of

questions from the audience while Saunders moderated.

It was a great Q&A, full money’s

worth (admission is by donation and averages $2 per head).

“Directors want to talk about their movies,” Saunders said. “But it’s common to get 10 minutes or so at a film festival.”

And anyone who stuck around on Monday learned the true brilliance of York. Which means Saunders is essentially running a year round film festival.

Saunders created the weekly viewings in the Eric Martin lecture theatre in 1993, following a stint as an in-patient after his second attempt at suicide.

He got an idea to use movies to create a positive environment for people with mental illness, at least a better option than regular TV.

He ran his first Q&A in 1993, his first year of running Movie Monday. It was for Benny and Joon, a movie that deals with schizophrenia, with director Jeremiah Chechik.

In the 1990s he also ran One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, perhaps the most famed movie about men-tal health, and spoke with director Milos Forman.

Saunders is all for breaking down stigmas around mental health, but he runs all kinds of shows.

“The Canadian films in particu-lar of all the films we run are much more creative and important than what Hollywood offers, but people just don’t know about them.”

This Monday (Aug. 27) he’s show-ing Love That Boy, a 2003 comedy from Halifax.

‘Five people, two couches and a 30 inch tube TV. In the hallway?’

Travis PatersonIsland Insider


OPINION

Readers respond: Songhees islands, ICBC, pipeline and speeding taxis

Most North Americans know that human-caused global warming is real, even if political leaders don’t always reflect or act on that knowledge.

According to a recent poll, only two per cent of Canadians reject the overwhelming scientific evidence that Earth is warming at alarming rates – a figure that may seem surprising given the volume of nonsense deniers (many of them funded by the fossil fuel industry) spread through letters to the editor, blogs, radio call-ins, and website comments.

Polling indicates more deniers live in the U.S., but they still make up just 15 per cent of that population.

It’s getting harder to ignore the evidence: record high worldwide

temperatures; increasing extreme weather events; devastating droughts, floods, and wildfires; animal and plant species turning

up where they’ve never been found before; record ice loss in the Arctic and Greenland; melting glaciers … The trends are exactly as climate scientists predicted.

Meanwhile, one of the few skeptic climate scientists, Richard Muller,

recently reversed his thinking. Muller and colleagues at the University of California, Berkeley, studied climate data dating back to 1753, then looked at possible causes of the unusual warming observed since the mid-1950s. (Ironically, the study was funded in part by the Charles G. Koch Charitable

Foundation, founded by climate change skeptics with heavy interests in the fossil fuel industry.)

Their conclusion? It’s not the sun. It’s not volcanoes. The most likely cause is humans spewing massive amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, mainly by burning fossil fuels. This isn’t news to most climate scientists.

As evidence builds, deniers are starting to change their tune. They once said global warming isn’t happening, and some claimed the world is actually cooling.

Now, heat records are being broken worldwide – this past decade was the hottest on record. Many scientists say the situation is even more severe than first thought, with temperatures and impacts increasing faster than predicted.

Faced with the evidence, many deniers have started

to admit that global warming is real, but argue that humans have little or nothing to do with it. Muller’s study was just one of many to demolish that theory.

Our climate has always changed, and natural variation is part of that. But scientists have long known that carbon dioxide and other gases trap heat in the atmosphere.

Recent warming is occurring at an unprecedented rate that corresponds to burning fossil fuels.

According to NASA, global average temperatures have been rising significantly since the 1970s, “with the 20 warmest years having occurred since 1981 and with all 10 of the warmest years occurring in the past 12 years.” North America just experienced the hottest July on record, and the first seven months of 2012 were the warmest, on

average, in more than 100 years.

This evidence has caused some deniers to change their tune again. Yes, the Earth is warming, they say, but whether it’s from natural or human causes, we can’t do anything about it, so we might as well continue with business as usual, maybe employing technological fixes to help us adapt.

There’s also a subset of deniers who see some nefarious conspiracy in climate science and “Agenda 21” (a nonbinding, voluntary UN agreement on sustainable development) to impose a world government or something, but their irrational arguments aren’t worth the time of day.

The truth is, as most of us know, that global warming is real and humans are major contributors, mainly because we wastefully burn fossil fuels. We also

know solutions lie in energy conservation, shifting to renewable sources, and changing our patterns of energy and fuel use.

Scientists have been warning about global warming for decades. It’s too late to stop it now, but we can lessen its severity and impacts.

The side benefits are numerous: less pollution and environmental destruction, better human health, stronger and more diversified economies, and a likely reduction in global conflicts fuelled by the rapacious drive to exploit finite resources.

We can all work to reduce our individual impacts. But we must also convince our political and business leaders that it’s time to put people – especially our children, grandchildren, and generations yet to come – before profits.

Seek ways to keep islands in public use

Re: Songhees limit access to Discovery Island (News, Aug. 3)

It will be sad to see Chatham and part of Discovery islands closed to public use because of a few inconsiderate jerks.

I can understand the Songhees wanting to protect their property from harm and to keep it clean and tidy.

My proposal is that the Songhees consider renting the islands to the federal or provincial governments, and let them take responsibility for patrolling and maintaining them, ban all fires, and impose heavy

fines for violators.I go fishing around Discovery

Island most of the year, and rarely do I see anyone there, except in July and August, and very few even then.

I do hope an amicable solution can be found that allows for the respectful use of the islands.

ICBC offers ‘best value’ to insurance customers

Re: ICBC Executives Make Drunken Sailors Blush (Opinion, Aug. 22)

Jordan Bateman must not have taken a look at comparable auto insurance coverage or the even more excessive executive salaries in the private sector if he thinks privatizing ICBC will be the solution to higher rates. Independent studies by Statistics Canada and the Consumers Association of Canada have shown public auto insurance gives the best value to customers.Since ICBC was established on March 1, 1974, British Columbians have enjoyed reduced insurance fraud, safer roads and lower rates. Part of this is because, ICBC was designed to operate on a non-profit, break-even basis.

So where is the real issue? Executive salaries at ICBC are too high and should be dealt with, but that’s only exacerbated in the private sector. The biggest problem at ICBC, one that Mr. Bateman does not address, is

that the government hasn’t stayed true to ICBC’s break-even mandate. Christy Clark’s government is treating ICBC as their cash cow, raiding over $1.2 billion from the corporation’s coffers even as they ask ICBC workers to continue their wage freeze and B.C. drivers to pay higher insurance premiums.

If there are any savings com-ing out of the government review, how do we know they won’t be funneled back into government coffers? British Columbians need to know savings will be used to reduce rates for drivers and keep the unionized workforce at ICBC from falling further behind.

When Manitoba’s public insurer was found to have overcharged its customers, they gave every-one a rebate. The government’s mismanagement of ICBC hurts both their employees and B.C. drivers. Siphoning off ICBC’s prof-its was never what was intended for our public insurance corpora-tion.

‘Ask voters’ best pipeline suggestion so far

Re: Ask voters if they want a pipeline (Opinion, Aug. 15)

Although B.C. Premier Christy Clark tries to appear neutral and open-minded in regards to the Northern Gateway oil sands project’s potentially detrimental environmental consequences, it’s fairly clear that she’s hoping for

any piece of scraps thrown B.C.’s way by Alberta Premier Alison Redford.

So your editorial is likely the best idea so far that I’ve heard.

But as for Clark’s B.C.’s “fair share” ultimatum, hopefully Redford’s foolish, tight-fistedness will give only more reason for B.C.ers and perhaps even our government – not to mention fuel for the eco-warriors’ fight against the project – to just say, to hell with the whole thing.

Taxi speed, driving habitsan issue Victoria-wide

I read your articles about speeding taxis in James Bay.

Taxis are out of control in Victoria – not just in James Bay.

They regularly speed, make U-turns on Douglas Street, hold up traffic picking up customers. When the nightclub close, it is a complete zoo. It’s an accident waiting to happen.

Sandoz slowed production after a warning letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration identified quality control concerns in February.

The company secured a third-party manufacturer at the end of July and anticipates greater supply of anti-nausea, diuretic and pain management drugs soon.

“This alternative supply is expected to reach the market over the following months and will be available to Canadian patients before the end of 2012,” president Michel Robidoux said in a statement.

Heughan said pharmacists will continue to work with family doctors to provide adequate medication for regional patients, regardless of the shortage.

“It’s not the patient’s fault that the medication has become unavailable,” she said.

VicPD target those who target touristsChristine van ReeuwykNews staff

Targeting tourists’ cars proved a flaw for criminals after Victoria police set up a series of bait cars in the city last week.

VicPD and the Integrated Municipal Auto Crime Team (IMPACT) launched Opera-tion Tourist Trap last week to target car thieves in identified hot spots to combat rising auto crime rates.

VicPD reported a 160 per cent increase in theft from autos over

the previous three months, pri-marily from tourists’ vehicles.

Three high-profile offenders were taken off Victoria’s streets.

Victoria men Robert Tait, 35, Steven Patterson, 34, and John Koehler were arrested. Police used bait car video to identify suspects. Police also identified a fourth man they hope to appre-hend.

Combined, Tait, Koehler and Patterson have accumulated nearly one hundred convictions, mainly for property offences.

Four Mainland men accused in a significant identity theft and stolen credit card ring in Victoria in March won't go to trial until at least next year.

At a hearing Friday, a preliminary inquiry into the alleged fraud was set for three days starting July 17, 2013 in Victoria provincial court.

The fraud operation unravelled on March 9 when the owner of the Qoola store at Uptown confronted and then followed three men who tried to steal the store's PIN machine. A Saan-ich police officer going by at the time located the three men in the underground parking lot in a 2000 Mercedes.

Saanich police detectives executed a search warrant at the Hotel Grand Pacific, where the men were staying, and found four point-of-sale machines – three of them determined as sto-len – computers, tools and equipment used to compromise the devices. Detectives arrested

a fourth suspect at the hotel.The Mercedes contained credit cards and

credit card numbers, and the car was seized by police. Police say the men made fraudulent purchases at The Bay Centre, Cactus Club, Hotel Grand Pacific and Strathcona Hotel.

David Dang, 24, Rodney Boucher, 32, Nicho-las Lakomy, 32 and Domingos Usseni, 40, face a slew of fraud charges, and charges related to forging and stealing credit card information, and possession of stolen property. Each man is charged with between 12 and 17 separate criminal counts.

Boucher is the only suspect with a signifi-cant criminal record, mainly for petty crimes and assaults in Terrace, Dawson Creek, Surrey and Abbotsford.

He was found guilty of fraud and using a stolen credit card in Vancouver last December, and in Whistler in February 2011.

A pricey Chinese delicacy – shark fin soup – is becom-ing a hot-button issue among city councils across B.C., as environmental groups seek to change provincial and national laws to ban the importa-tion of shark fins.

“This is some-thing I championed because of my pas-sion for animal wel-fare environmental issues,” said Victo-ria city councillor Charlayne Thorn-ton-Joe.

She brought Bill C-380, a bill banning shark fin importation, to Victoria coun-cil in February and followed up with visits to several Chi-nese restaurants to bring up issues surrounding the welfare of the animals and the impact on the world’s ecosystems of killing upwards of 17 million sharks per year.

Saanich council was the

latest municipality to throw its support behind the cause after Victoria became the first in the Capital Regional District to make the motion to support a federal ban.

The recommendation to support the ban was brought forward by their environmen-

tal advisory com-mittee, after mem-bers were given a presentation by advocacy group Fin Free Victoria, made up mostly of Grade 7 students from Glenlyon Nor-folk School.

“We’ve received a lot of support,” said Margaret

McCullough, a science teacher at GNS and one of two teach-ers assisting the Fin Free Vic-toria student group.

In addition to approach-ing politicians, Fin Free Victo-ria has successfully lobbied a number of restaurants in Greater Victoria to stop serv-ing shark fin soup.

“There were six or seven

(restaurants) in Victoria, but they’ve all kind of jumped on board with this,” McCullough said. “(Our discussions with restaurants) weren’t about sharks or the issues. It was more about the business opportunity.”

Georgina Wong, a parter at Don Mee, a Chinese sea-food restaurant in Chinatown, made the transition in May and no longer accepts orders for shark fin soup.

“I watched the video doc-umentary (on shark finning) and now I know,” said restau-rant partner Georgina Wong. “It is good to be supportive.”

She is unsure as to the effect it has had on her restaurant bottom line, they only served it during banquets and did not carry it has a menu item, but she has seen little change in her business thus far and is prepared to move forward without it.

“It was not a hard decision for us,” she said. “a lot of younger people come (here) to book and ask not to have it,” she said.

Shark fin soup is considered a delicacy by some Asian cultures

and usually served at events including celebrations, wed-dings and birthdays. One bowl can cost upwards of $200.

“I am happy that it is rarely served but would be happy when it is not served at all,” Thornton-Joe said.

“Unless there are changes in finning, leaving a (finned) shark in the water is atro-cious.”

In Metro Vancouver, Coquit-lam, Port Moody and North Vancouver have also banned possession and use of shark fins, and Burnaby is mulling the idea.

In Richmond, which has a large Chinese population, the debate is growing. City council there has agreed to consider a ban, which has restaurateurs up in arms.

Saanich council threw its support behind two recom-mendations which call on the provincial and federal govern-ments to ban the possession, sale, trade and distribution of shark fins.

While it is currently illegal to fin sharks in Canada, it is not illegal to import shark fins into Canada.

Blues are back in town.The biggest compilation

of blues music on the Island invades Victoria’s Inner Har-

bour when Blues Bash takes over Ship Point Sept. 1 to 3 for a three-day single-venue outdoor music festival.

“(Blues Bash) adds a very, very good vibe for downtown Victoria on Labour Day week-end,” said BB communications officer Kendra Martin. “You can tell people are really alive dur-ing the weekend, it brings an energy when you go downtown.”

The 18th annual event kicks off with free performances at Ship Point from noon to 5 p.m. before the venue is shut down then reopened for the feature ticketed performances at 7 p.m.

The Victoria Jazz Society’s second of two outdoor festivals drew 18,000 view-ers in 2011 that again boasts a lineup bursting with blues influences running the gamut from contemporary and Memphis to delta and gospel stylings.

Ticketed performances include three-time Juno-nominated Victorian and long-time blues stylist David Gogo playing Sept. 1 at 7 p.m., and Joe Louis Walker kicking off his North American tour in

Victoria Sept. 7. Free performances are anchored by an experienced group of local performers.

“A lot of the acts we pride ourselves on are our locals,” Martin continued. “We have a rich condensed level of tal-ent in Victoria and Vancouver Island so Blues Bash is a great way to lend a stage for these awesome performers.”

The festival boasts a number of well-respected local acts including Lazy Mike and the Rockin’ Recliners, The Roper Show and Paul Black who makes his fifth appearance at one of his favou-rite events of the year.

“The Blues Bash is the biggest (blues) show in Victoria,” Black said. “You can’t beat them. Being local you get a lot of the same people and familiar faces, it is nice to play to a larger wider audi-ence.”

The Stevie Ray Vaughn, Buddy Guy and Jimi Hendrix influenced guitar player and vocalist happened upon blues music when he unknowingly took in a performance by a legendary musi-cian that changed his life.

“The first time I listened to Stevie Ray Vaughn, man that gave me goose-bumps. It was so intense, the feeling and intensity of it,” Black said. “The blues just give you a beat everyone can hold on and grab onto.”

He came out of that concert with a new appreciation for musical stylings he wasn’t hearing on the radio and

hopes that others who take in the festival feel the same way for him and his original music.

“There are things that just grab you and send a chill up your spine, it is hard to describe. … It is not all wrapped around

the mathematical, blues is all about feel,” the Victorian said. “I am not try-ing to get into MuchMusic, it is all about getting people to dig what you do and appreciate live music. I am trying to give other people goosebumps.”

Victoria musician Paul Black will bring his blues to the annual Vancouver Island Blues Bash. He performs Sept. 3 at 1:15 p.m.

Joe Walsh and Kim Mitchell are on the bill at Bullen Park next week.

Best known for his powerful guitar licks, Walsh has entertained the masses and capti-vated his peers for more than three decades with classics Funk #49, Walk Away, Life’s Been Good, and Ordinary Average Guy.

This summer Walsh will release Analog Man, his first solo album in 20 years and will tour in support of the new record throughout 2012, both in the U.S. and abroad.

His is a long and sto-ried musical career. In 1969 Walsh found suc-cess with The James Gang, followed by a stint with Barnstorm, a trio he founded. In 1973 Walsh released his first solo album, which proved him a legitimate solo act and in 1976 he joined The Eagles, bring-ing a harder rock sound to the group with the acclaimed Hotel Califor-

nia, The Long Run and Eagles Live.

In 1994, after a 14-year

hiatus and several solo albums, The Eagles released Hell Freezes

Over, which reached #1 on the Billboard charts and sparked one of the most success-ful tours in music his-tory. In 1998 The Eagles were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the first year they were nominated. Walsh performed at the 2012 Grammy’s with Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen and Dave Grohl and at the 2012 MusiCares event hon-oring Paul McCartney.

Walsh and Mitchell perform in Bullen Park, 1151 Esquimalt Rd. (behind Archie Brown-ing arena) Aug. 28.

It’s a 19+ show with beverage and food ven-dors.

Gates open 5 p.m. Tickets $69.50 to $95.50 are available online at www.hightideconcerts.net, Esquimalt Rec-reation Centre (527 Fraser St.) Lyles Place (770 Yates St.), Ditch Records (784 Fort St.) and McPherson box office at 250-386-6121.

A man wanted on outstanding warrants in Alberta will face those charges after being arrested in Victoria.

Kenneth Greenlees was arrested by Vic-toria police on outstanding warrants from Calgary where he was wanted for assault

with a weapon, break and enter, assaulting a peace officer and mischief.

He was returned to the prairie province through the B.C. Fugitive Return Program after his Aug. 2 arrest.

Greenlees’ return was negotiated by the

B.C. Fugitive Return Program and funded by the Alberta Attorney General’s Office.

Since September 2011, the B.C. Provin-cial Fugitive Return Program has facilitated the return of 22 individuals from various regions in B.C. wanted across Canada.

Wanted man sent back to Alberta

A downtown Victo-ria shelter is inviting the community to help paint a 900 sq. ft. mural to beautify the neigh-bourhood.

Pacifica Housing, at 827 Fisgard St., will hold a “$2 for 10” event throughout the day on Aug. 29, where aspiring artists will be given 10 minutes to contribute to the mural by donat-ing $2.

“This is definitely a community project and we hope folks will drop by to watch and pos-sibly participate as the mural progresses.” said Karyn French, execu-tive director of Pacifica Housing.

Local businesses Home Depot, Garside Signs and Industrial Coatings are donating material, services and their time to the proj-ect as well.

The City of Victoria and Capital Regional District have also con-tributed to the project through their arts grant programs.

The completed mural will be unveiled some-time this fall.

The annual Fair, an end of summer tradition for thousands of British Columbians, features more than 700 shows, exhibits and attractions that are free with admission. The 2012 Fair at the PNE runs daily through Labour Day, Sept. 3.

Four agencies working with those at risk celebrate International Over-dose Awareness Day on Aug. 31.

The corner of Pandora Avenue and Quadra Street provide the backdrop for Resource and Com-munity Service Society, AIDS Van-couver Island, the Society of Living Illicit Drug Users and Peers Victoria Resource Society. They partnered to build awareness, prevent over-doses, decrease risk and remem-ber those who have died from illicit drug use.

“Society tends to think of illicit drug users as disposable,” said Karen Dennis, executive director of VARCS.

“We are all people; we all have

family and friends who care, and there are things we can do to pre-vent the deaths of our loved ones and community members.”

There are is no fixed-site needle exchange or supervised consump-tion services in Greater Victoria.

“Overdose impacts us all,” says Marion Little, executive director of Peers Victoria Resource Society.

“We need to have the resources in place to make sure that people who use substances have access to information and support to reduce their risk.”

The celebration kicks off at 10 a.m. at the corner of Pandora Ave-nue and Quadra Street.

WESTERN CANADA’S OLDEST CONTINUOUS AGRICULTURAL FAIR


Powering school on science, math

Natalie NorthNews staff

This past spring, stu-dents in Grades 2 and 3 at Elizabeth Buck-ley School in Victoria sprouted seeds as part of their study of plants.

But instead of memorizing pas-sages from a textbook before watering their seeds, the students formed hypotheses on how the plants might develop and eliminated possibilities through class discus-sion along the way.

“We recognize that the kids learn very well in a hands-on kind of way,” said Roberta MacDonald, principal of Elizabeth Buckley School, an indepen-dent school that will become the first STEM school in the country this September.

STEM – for science, technology, engineer-ing and mathematics – schools have been cropping up across the U.S. for the past two decades and operate on the idea that lit-eracy in each of these subject areas is as important as the devel-opment of language skills.

Elizabeth Buckley will officially adopt STEM next month, but the school has long since implemented some of the teaching methods, which favour experiential learning over memorization.

“We all recognize that literacy is very important, yet there are kids who feel they’re not very good at science and math, and write that off, say-ing ‘I’m just not a sci-ence person,’ or ‘I’m just not a math per-son.’”

The phenomenon seems to be accepted, particularly with girls around the middle school years, said Mac-Donald, also an Eliza-beth Buckley parent.

“But what if your child came to you and said: ‘I’m just not a lan-guage person,’ would we accept that?”

The school began 25 years ago for stu-dents with hearing impairment, but today it serves all students, whether they’re typi-

cal, special needs or gifted.

“It’s not necessarily that our kids are differ-ent, but we want our kids to see ‘different’ differently than when we were raised,” said Laurie Waye, Elizabeth Buckley parent and co-chair of its board of directors.

MacDonald, the for-mer director of Science Venture, a STEM out-reach program at the University of Victoria, had run science camps and wanted to find a way to meet an un-met need in science educa-tion.

Subjects aren’t taught in isolation, rather in hands-on activities that foster discussion and critical thinking, MacDonald said.

Music, physical edu-cation and math, for example, are taught through a game of clapping and moving to rhythms.

Science, art and language are covered when kids create trad-ing cards for various animals and elements of the ecosystem.

Lessons on astronomy and First Nation heritage have been taught by local experts, partnerships the school hopes to

build into the future.MacDonald is

involved in developing guidelines for digital literacy – something Waye feels went unad-dressed by the public sector.

Greater Victoria Board of Education chairperson Peg Orcherton said part of the difficulties within public education is to maintain and upgrade technology under tight budgetary restrictions.

Student achievement goals in the Greater Victoria district are built on literacy and numeracy in the early years to meet the needs of new technolo-gies, she added.

“There are so many different pedagogies on education,” Orcher-ton said. “Education is constantly chang-ing and evolving. The issue is trying to get everybody to buy into the best way to

educate. It’s supposed to be equitable and accessible for all.”

Fifty per cent of the operating costs at Eliz-abeth Buckley are pro-vided by the province and the other half from tuition fees; $360 per month or $3,600 per year for local students, or $7,200 per year for international students.

“We saw the (STEM) research coming out of the States, which was incredibly persuasive and we realized we actually had a really good fit for that cur-riculum,” Waye said.

CW girls rugby enters year two

Travis PatersonNews staff

Earlier this year the Canadian women’s sevens team won two of the International Rugby Board’s first world tournaments ever sanc-tioned.

Yet Greater Victoria, the same city that hosts the women’s national program, has no formal youth pro-gram for girls.

Last year the Castaway Wan-derers rugby club changed that by starting one. Marley Riordan stepped up to coach, and this year, CW is hoping to add an under-18 team to its girls program of players aged 11 to 16.

“But for one or two high school girls rugby teams, which face their own challenges in terms of num-bers, there’s nowhere for teenage girls to play,” said Riordan.

“Now we’re getting interest from some 17 and 18 year olds, plus some of our own players are aging up.”

The coach is a former provincial champion with Burnaby Lake, and has coached high school rugby since she graduated high school in P.E.I.

If the surname seems familiar, it is. Riordan adopted it from hubby Pat, the long time UVic Vikes for-ward who captained Canada at the 2011 Rugby World Cup. Mar-ley came here to be an officer with the Victoria police, and is now on maternity leave to care for the cou-ple’s six-month old son, Leis.

CW’s girls program was mostly spearheaded by David Crossley, who’s daughter Caroline gradu-ated CW’s mini rugby program. As is common with girls by 11 or 12 years of age, there was a boys team but no girls program to train with.

All ages partake in training ses-sions, and on Sunday mornings the groups will be split into U16

and U18 groups for competition, hopefully against high school and/or club teams up-Island and on the Mainland.

Youth rugby begins in September. Registration is this Sunday (Aug.

26) from 10 a.m. to noon at Wind-sor Park Pavilion. Players can also register online at cwrugby.com, or call Ian MacLean at 250-721-1527 for more info.

Former world kickboxing champ Stan Peterec to fight in fifth decadeTravis PatersonNews staff

It’s been awhile since Stan Peterec looked this good.

The 53-year-old former world kickboxing champion dropped 45 pounds earlier this year during two months of training and coach-ing in Thailand.

With the lost weight, he’s feeling good. So good, he’s getting back in the ring for the first time in more than a decade.

This Saturday (Aug. 25) Peterec is headlining his annual event, Summer Slugfest VI, at Archie Browning Sports Centre.

“When you’re fighting at this age, your heart and mind are in the right place,” Peterec said. “But the vehicle that is your body doesn’t run like it did.”

Peterec last fought in 2000, a rematch of his 1997 mixed martial arts tilt with Dragyn Yoyanovic at the old Memorial Arena.

“Stan still hits hard, which is what he’s known for,” said kick-boxer Linsday Ball.

The student of Peterec’s is a cur-rent world and Canadian title belt holder in the featherweight cat-egory, and regularly trains one-on-one with Peterec.

Until this year, Ball didn’t hold the pads for Peterec in training

sessions. But she now knows what Peterec is all about.

“I’ve been bruised on my face and knocked to the ground from training sessions, even with the pads. You have to beware.”

Ball spent the better part of the past year in Thailand, where she won a world title and then a world tournament in Korea. Peterec joined her at the same gym in February, and started “dropping weight like crazy.”

“All of a sudden I lost 45 pounds, I was training and jogging every-day,” Peterec said.

“He has the skills, so to watch him get into shape – it’s scary,” Ball said. “He started to out run me.”

Ball is also fighting on Saturday night, against Kate McGraw from

Los Angeles, Calif.“I’ve never seen Stan fight so I’m

very excited.”Ticket sales and feedback are

evidence that fans are excited to see Peterec back in the ring.

Naturally at 53, there are also some who are worried about him, including himself. For starters, he’s fighting a 30-year-old named Tracy Hebert.

“I’ve had most of my old pals saying ‘Why are you fighting this guy?’” Peterec said. “‘Take an eas-ier fight,’ they tell me. And here I am taking on an in-your-face, high cardio guy who comes right at you.”

About 10 years ago, Hebert came to Peterec’s for a few weeks to train and the two actu-ally sparred, so they know a little bit about each other. Enough for Peterec to know he’s facing a very fit opponent.

“If I don’t knock (Hebert) out, I’ll have to work like a dog to keep him from killing me.”

Peterec has been organizing kickboxing and MMA fight cards since the ’90s, and fought a few times in the earlier days of MMA. But now he’s returning to kickbox-ing, the sport in which he was dominant as a world champion.

Peterec also wants to be the first Canadian to fight in five differ-ent decades.

“(Panamanian fighter) Roberto Duran is famous for it, and Jack Johnson did it too. But I’ve searched, and asked around, and I can’t find any record of a Canadian

having done it.”Tickets are available at Sports

Traders, 508 Discovery St., and Peterec’s Gym, 831 Fisgard St. Doors open at 6, fights at 7 p.m.

Also on the bill are local favou-rites Hal Kreisel, Mike Downey, Alex Tribe and Rob Doerksen.

Back in the ring

Travis Paterson/News staff

Stan Peterec hits hard, but at 53, he’s a question mark as a prize fighter for this weekend’s Summer Slugfest VI at Archie Browning Arena. The former world champ wants to join a rare club, with fights in five different decades.

“If I don’t knock (Hebert) out, I’ll have to work like a dog to keep him from killing me.”

Kickboxer Varga on world stage

World champion kick-boxer Gabriel Varga of Saanich has signed a con-tract to expand his career as a pro fighter.

Varga, a former student of Stan Peterec, currently holds the World Kickbox-ing Network and World Kickboxing Federation belts in the super light-weight weight class of 135 to 140 pounds.

The Lambrick Park sec-ondary grad will realize his dreams next month by fighting in the K-1 organi-zation in Los Angeles on Sept. 8. Varga, 24, will face Lerdsila Chumpairtour, 31, who has over 230 fights.

Later this year Varga, who was the headliner of Summer Slugfest I in 2007, will achieve another goal, as he received permission to fight for the Interna-tional Sport Karate Asso-ciation’s pro title.

Lead executive named to West Coast League teamTravis PatersonNews staff

One name down, two to go. Owner John McLean of the Vic-

toria Baseball Club introduced Holly Jones as the team’s first general manager at Royal Athletic Park, the team’s home park, on Tuesday.

Jones is originally from Oregon but comes with a decorated sales and marketing resumé, including time spent at the National Basket-ball Association’s head office in New York. She also brings three years experience as the assistant general manager of the Corvalis Knights (Ore.), recent winners of the West Coast League.

“This is meant to be an excit-ing league with promotions and giveaways every night and ide-ally that’s what we’ll have,” Jones said.

As GM she’ll handle the day-to-day business side of the franchise and was already five days in, she said.

First up is the next two names to be added to the club. One is the head coach, more commonly known around baseball as the field manager, who is responsible

for the on-field product. The other is selecting the team’s official nick-name, which is underway through a name-the-team contest.

“We’ll have the name and logo

ready for the end of September. Right now we want everyone to pitch their best ideas at victoria-baseballclub.com to name the team.”

Mayor Dean Fortin was also on hand to welcome Jones, saying it didn’t take her a week to settle in as a true Victoria resident.

“She got a house in Oak Bay,

has family in Langford and works downtown.”

Fortin, McLean and Jones each wore a black baseball hat bear-ing a white V that resembled the logo of the Stanley Cup-winning Victoria Cougars of 1925. But the hat is just a placeholder, same as the Victoria Baseball Club name, McLean said.

Prior to the press conference McLean also clarified any confu-sion around the role of the GM, which in the big leagues is related to the roster. But there is no trad-ing in the short, 54-game WCL season. The field manager does the recruiting and players sign a new contract every year, as long as they are NCAA eligible, which means they cannot be under con-tract to an MLB team.

As for the stadium, Jones said she’s looking forward to using the Daktronics video board, which was installed and is owned by Darren Parker, owner of the now-defunct Victoria Seals (2009 to 2010).

“I’m not entirely up to speed on the (agreement of use) for the scoreboard but we’ll do some dig-ging to figure it out.”

Victoria will enter the West Coast League for June of 2013 and play 27 home games. Prior to June the baseball diamond of RAP will be refit to NCAA standards.

[email protected]


Holly Jones addresses the media at her introduction at Royal Athletic Park on Tuesday morning. Jones is the first general manager of the soon-to-be-named Victoria Baseball Club of the amateur West Coast League, which begins in 2013.

Sharron HoBlack Press

Sooke RCMP Const. Steven Martindale is one of 18 Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de

Rock riders who will cycle the length of Vancouver Island to raise money for pediatric cancer research next month.

Originally from the Okanagan, Martindale, 39, has served with the Sooke RCMP for the last five years.

After attending and assisting with various Tour de Rock events as a police officer, Martindale became interested in participating

as a rider. “I was always asked, ‘When is

Sooke going to have a rider?’ So I just decided, ‘Hey, I would do it,’” he said.

His decision to participate was made definitive two years ago, when he had a growth removed from his head two days prior to the annual Cops for Cancer Red Serge dinner.

Fortunately, the growth was later determined to be benign,

which strengthened Martindale’s resolve to participate in the arduous bike ride.

“How often do you get a chance to do something like this and make a difference?” Martindale asked, adding he also had plans to participate three years ago, but was unable due to a knee injury.

“We’re simply just riding a bike, which is the easy part. It’s the kids who have to go through treatment, they’re the real heroes out of all this.”

Martindale has also lost an uncle and cousin, who had two young daughters, to cancer.

“We’ve all lost someone, it’s kind of the one great unifier that everyone has a cancer story.”

Although the Tour de Rock is a test of physical endurance, Martindale said it’s also about being part of a team, supporting a greater cause and bringing deaths from pediatric cancer down to zero. “Kids shouldn’t have to go through cancer,” he said. “Zero’s the number that

we’re striving for.” Along with regular training

rides, Tour de Rock riders also attend regular events -- one of which was a visit to Camp Goodtimes in Maple Ridge, a camp for children with cancer.

He said the experience was “uplifting,” as many of the children, although sick, behaved as they should -- like kids.

The riders held a casino-themed fun night for the children, where many laughs were shared.

To be able to give happiness back to a child who’s going through chemotherapy or cancer, is priceless, Martindale said.

Although seemingly reserved and stoic, Martindale said it will be emotional once the ride begins Sept. 23.

“It’ll be very emotional, too, going through all of these towns and seeing the support that perhaps the RCMP hasn’t had lately.”

Tour de Rock riders will travel from Port Alice all the way down to Victoria over a 14-day span. The cyclists fundraise for their 1,000-kilometre bike ride to help raise money for pediatric cancer research and programming for children with – or who have had a history with – cancer.

Private museum holds family historyGreg Sahlstrom

came home from the Trail hospital in his father’s 1928 Chevrolet. That same car is now restored and is the cornerstone of a private museum on the property his father homesteaded in the 1920s at Blueberry Creek outside the city of Castlelgar.

Mr. Sahlstrom Sr. purchased the touring car in 1934 and immediately cut the back body off. The rear seat became a living room couch and the car became the farm truck. Greg recalls his mother attempting to learn to drive the Chevy. “She kept circling around until she drove right through her beet patch. That was the end of driving for her.”

Greg and his brothers did learn to drive the old Chevy. In 1956, he and his brother set up a saw mill on an adjacent property and installed a dump box on the Chevy to haul sawdust. The old Chevy was fi nally parked in a shed and there it sat for years. “One day, I thought I would see if it would run. Three turns of the crank and it started right up,” Greg says. Another of his brothers started a Sunday school and installed a box on the rear of the old vehicle to transport kids to church.

In the 1940s, Greg and his brothers knew of a six cylinder 1928 Packard that an uncle was no longer using, and their mother traded an old shotgun for the car. Greg’s older brother removed the entire body except for the cowl and hood and used the car for years to haul hay. That vehicle is also still in a shed on the

property.Greg Sahlstrom was always

impressed with that big powerful old Packard. He learned about a 1930 Packard Club Sedan parked in a fi eld outside Kettle Falls, Washington, and, ignoring the dilapidated condition of the old vehicle, dragged it home for restoration.

He spent 20 years collecting parts before starting. “It was a mega project,” he says. Everything was done in his shop, with the mechanical restoration completed with assistance from son Jason who has a full machine shop on the property and specializes in mechanical work for vintage vehicles.

The restored maroon Packard has received a spectacular restoration. Greg demonstrated the smooth-running eight cylinder engine with a toonie balanced upright on the cylinder head.

The Packard features a Bijur Lubricator system that greases 34

points on the chassis with the push of a button.

The barn housing Greg Sahlstrom’s extensive classic car collection has a loft containing many historic items used on the property or elsewhere over the past century. This includes his mother’s old butter churn and cream separator, his father’s bear traps and a live martin trap, old oil lamps and the lantern he did his homework by, a spinning wheel,

Greg Sahlstrom’s museum houses his extensive classic car collection along with many items from his family’s history on the homestead at Blueberry Creek outside Castlegar.

METROLAND MEDIAWHEELSTALK.COM

Friends of Carroll Shelby, including Ford Motor Company, Shelby American, Ford Racing and many others have built a unique 2013 Shelby GT500 Cobra as a tribute to the late automotive designer.

Ford is also announcing a renamed road at its Product Development Center in Dearborn, Mich., as a tribute to Shelby as well.

Cobra has been the consistent performance label as Shelby worked with Ford for most of the last 60 years, and Shelby was instrumental in the creation of Ford performance vehicles including Cobras, the GT40 and Mustangs since the mid-1960s.

The unique tribute car was unveiled at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion where Cobra is the marque of show for 2012.

Using the 662 hp 2013 Shelby GT500 as a foundation, “Friends of Carroll” created the one-

of-a-kind 2013 Shelby GT500 Cobra wide-body Mustang that now generates more than 850 hp with

the help of a Ford Racing 4.0-litre Whipple supercharger.

Putting that much power to the ground requires plenty of traction, so the 13-inch-wide rear wheels are wrapped in massive 345-section high-performance tires for extra grip.

Ford Motor Company teamed up with Shelby American for several key components on the Carroll Shelby tribute car. Shelby American provided a specially designed hood, new rear wide-body kit, Shelby Wilwood brakes and new 20x13-inch rear and 20x10-inch front wheels.

The bodywork is fi nished in the same Guardsman Blue with Wimbledon White stripes that graced so many of the Cobra roadsters built in the 1960s.

One-of-a-kind 850hp 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 Cobra a tribute to Carroll Shelby

In honour of Carroll Shelby, this one-of-a-kind 2013 Shelby GT500 Cobra wide-body Mustang was unveiled at the recent Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion where Cobra is the marque of show for 2012.

washboards as well as automobile and service station memorabilia.

The car storage area contains other trophy cars like an ultra rare 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk restored with its original supercharged V8 engine coupled to a standard shift overdrive transmission. “The car was purchased new in Boise, Idaho and the original owner claimed to have driven that car at 140 miles per hour (225 kph) at the Bonneville Salt Flats. Greg Sahlstrom treated the rare Studebaker to a full restoration.

His 1956 Ford Victoria hardtop was also purchased in Idaho and has most of its original Fiesta Red and Colonial White paint.

Another rare car is a 1948 Mercury business coupe that only has a front seat with a trunk that extends right into what is ordinarily the rear passenger area. The car was originally owned by the bookkeeper employed at the now closed Sullivan Mine in Kimberley.

Greg Sahlstrom bought the car from the estate of a man who purchased the Mercury from the original owner and then spent the next 30 years restoring the car, but sadly passed away before he was able to drive it.

A Firemist Red 1976 Cadillac Eldorado convertible is Greg’s most contemporary classic.

The restoration of his award-winning Lombard blue 1930 Ford Model A deluxe roadster began with the acquisition of a trunk lid in the hamlet of Nakusp. Then he just had to fi nd a car to put it on.

That came with the opportunity to buy a very rough Model A roadster in Crawford Bay on Kootenay Lake for $1,000. Ironically, the car had a wooden box for a trunk. And the trunk lid he had purchased proved to be essential for the full show quality restoration he completed on the car.

Greg Sahlstrom enjoys taking his cars to local shows in the Castlegar and Trail

Region as well in the Spokane area of Washington State. The fi rst major trip with his Model A Ford roadster was to a Vintage Car Club May Tour to Kamloops.

It was the same weekend that Mount St. Helen’s erupted, covering much of the West Coast with volcanic ash. As he drove his Model A home from Kamloops, the colour turned from blue to gray.

If he ever breaks anything on his cars, he just walks a few steps to his son’s machine shop to have it repaired. Self-suffi ciency has been a way of life on his property over the 90 years that have passed since his father homesteaded there.

Alyn Edwards is a classic car enthusiast and partner in Peak Communicators, a Vancouver-based public relations company.

A new used car program will now protect drivers who have purchased more than 69,000 Toyota Hybrid Vehicles since the fi rst Prius arrived in Canada in 2000.

Responding to customer demand, Toyota has expanded its popular Certifi ed Used Vehicle program with a special program designed to enable Canadians to buy previously owned hybrid models with maximum confi dence.

Regardless of powertrain, Toyota’s certifi ed used vehicle programs are designed to help Canadian drivers enjoy unrivaled peace of mind, years of ownership satisfaction, and enhanced resale values.

Every Toyota Certifi ed Used Vehicle includes a CarProof Vehicle History Report, is subject to a rigorous 127-point inspection plus extensive mechanical and

appearance reconditioning. Certifi ed vehicles also include a seven day/1,500 km exchange privilege, a free oil/fi lter change, membership in Club Toyota, a minimum of 12 months/20,000 kms powertrain and roadside assistance coverage.

Like every Toyota Certifi ed used vehicle, Toyota certifi ed used hybrid vehicles undergo a thorough inspection. A special 134-point inspection plan includes all hybrid components.

Toyota Certifi ed Used Hybrid Vehicles are meticulously reconditioned, then backed by Toyota’s comprehensive warranty. This is honoured at more than 1,400 Toyota Dealers in Canada and the United States, and includes Toyota’s eight-year/160,000 km warranty on all hybrid components.

Toyota launches Canada’s fi rst Certifi ed Used Hybrid program

Toyota has announced a used car program for the Prius Hybrid that will be honoured by more than 1,400 North American Toyota dealers.


Jaguar has announced all-wheel-drive versions of the XF and XJ sedans will be available in selected markets for the 2013 Model Year.

Offered where consumer demand is highest – often driven by climate – the all-wheel-drive models will increase the capability and versatility of the XF and XJ in conditions where grip is compromised.

North America, Russia, China and continental Europe will account for the majority of sales

for the new AWD models which are powered by Jaguar’s new 3.0-litre V6 supercharged 340 hp engine.

North America is the world’s leading market for AWD sales and initially more than three quarters of the AWD models produced at Jaguar’s Castle Bromwich factory in the UK from October 2012 will be sold in the US.

With the new addition to the XF and XJ ranges Jaguar will compete in approximately 80 per cent of the luxury saloon market, four times its previous opportunity.

Jaguar enhances global product offering with all-wheel drive

Infi niti Canada is bringing the championship-winning, Red Bull Racing show car to Infi niti dealerships across Canada, stopping in Victoria next week.

The public is invited to Campus Infi niti, at 3361 Oak St., to see a replica of the car that took the Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team to World Championship status in 2010 and 2011.

The tour also offers a chance to win passes to the Formula 1 race in the United States Nov. 16 to 18. Enter to win an all-inclusive trip to the Formula 1 race in Austin, Texas, and be entered for

a local draw to win a pair of framed and mounted racing gloves signed by 2011 Formula 1 World Champion, Sebastian Vettel.

Infi niti’s nationwide Red Bull Racing show car tour visits Victoria


More than three in four car owners (76 per cent) said in a recent survey they believe in-car connectivity technologies are too distracting and even dangerous to have.

In addition, more than half (55 per cent) said automakers have taken technology for road use too far.

These are some of the results of The Harris Poll of 2,634 U.S. adults (ages 18 and over) of whom 1,991 own or lease a car, truck, minivan or SUV.

Beyond fearing how connectivity technology may impede driver focus, a strong majority of car owners (62 per cent) also worry about how technology may interfere with their privacy, including where and how they drive.

Just over two in fi ve U.S. car owners (41 per cent) believe that their insurance rates could increase because of what in-car technology reveals about their driving habits. This is more of a concern among younger drivers between 18 and 35 (46 per cent) and men (46 per cent).

Three in fi ve (61 per cent) view their car as a haven from the outside world and don’t want to always be connected while driving.

Yet, more than half of

car owners fi nd that in-car connectivity makes driving more enjoyable (58 per cent) and makes them feel safer (57 per cent) while on the road.

Men in particular enjoy having connectivity in their cars (64 per cent) more than women (53 per cent) and feel safer with technology on-board (61 per cent) compared to women (54 per cent).

The trend of embracing in-car technology is clearly generational. It’s the Baby Boomer generation that fi nds staying connected while in their vehicle the least important.

Only 39 per cent of car owners 50 to 66 think in-car connectivity is important compared to 58 per cent of those who are between 18 and 35.

When it comes to new car purchase decisions, two in three car owners between 18 and 35 (66 per cent) say that the vehicle’s technology has some or a great deal of infl uence on the next car they choose. This drops to just (46 per cent) for those between 50 and 66.

For those new car buyers interested in entertainment and connectivity technologies, 24 per cent state that they would consider the option of docking their smart phone in their vehicle compared to just 14 per cent who would consider having their entertainment applications built-in.

Many car owners fear in-car connectivity technology is distracting and dangerous

As a former service member, when Victoria Hyundai general sales manager Macon Doublet heard about a recent break-in and theft at the Chemainus Legion, he knew he wanted to help.

“I was pretty upset that somebody would try to steal from people who try to help others,” says Doublet, a former member of the Army in Edmonton.

It seems many others feel the same way.

Doublet and his team at Victoria Hyundai set out to raise $5,000 for the Legion, and by spreading the word through the dealership’s staff, clients and 16,000-plus Facebook followers, they’ve already reached close to $3,000.

Events such as a barbecue and

dunk tank have been a big hit, but plans are also under way for 50-50 draws and at least one more big fundraiser.

Of course, people don’t need to wait for a special event – funds are also being collected at the dealership, or they can contribute to the Chemainus Legion directly, Doublet says, adding that more ideas are also welcome. “It just shows that people are responding. I posted on Facebook asking for ideas about what we could do and people are coming up with really great ideas.”
