Kendra WongVictoria News
Along the calm waters of the Inner Harbour, 26 pad-dlers in a dragon boat push off the dock to begin their prac-tice session.
“Paddles up!” yells coach Corey Teramura.
The paddlers obey, holding their wooden paddles up ver-tically high above their heads.
“Go, two, three, four, five, six, up, up, up, five, six, seven, eight, up, legs,” yells Tera-mura. “Reach, long, long, long.”
The dragon boat picks up speed, gliding seamlessly as each paddler drives their pad-dle faster and faster into the water.
The only sounds com-ing from the splashing of the water against the boat, the heavy breathing of each paddler in unison with their strokes, and the loud bang of Teramura’s hand against the side of the boat to the beat of his voice.
The 26-person team is Outta Sight, and unlike many of the dragon boat teams that practice along the Inner Har-bour, half the team is visually impaired or blind.
“We use our body … we’re connected in a different way,”
says Teramura. “These guys have all these other cues that they’re feeling — the sound, the motion of the boat, how it moves, the splash, and you can feel when you’re out by just a little bit.”
The team started three years ago with Cindy Wasney, who is legally blind and origi-nally competed with regular-sighted dragon boaters.
“I enjoyed being out on the water so much, it was a great experience. I got so much out of it and I thought there were other people who were visu-ally impaired or blind who might enjoy it as much as I did,” says Wasney, noting that in its first year, the team had five visually impaired pad-dlers.
Each paddler has a volun-teer handler who helps them with their equipment and get-ting into the boats. But from there on, it’s all about feeling the rhythm of the boat.
“Once we’re all in the boat, everyone is on par with every-one else,” says Wasney.
Erin Lacharity, 35, is the stroke seat and is responsible for setting the timing and pace of the boat. She is completely blind.

People have caused fewer coastal forest fires than usual so far this season.
In an area of the province where lightning is typi-cally rare, electrical storms have triggered numer-ous flare-ups early into the 2015 forest fire season.
“A lot of our fires this year have been from light-ning,” said Donna MacPherson of the Coastal Fire Centre in Parksville. “It is unusual.”
The B.C. Forest Ministry centre covers Vancou-ver Island and the mainland north to Tweedsmuir Provincial Park, near Bella Coola. That area has roughly 20 fires by this point in the year.
“We’ve had 26, and 11 of them are lightning caused, and usually we have none,” MacPherson said. “Usually we have 20 people-caused fires and it’s been 15, so people are doing better, but light-ning not so much.”
Last year was the third worst forest fire season on record, and while it’s still early in the 2015 sea-son, indications suggest a hot, dry summer. One-hundred firefighters from the Coastal Fire Centre have already been sent to northern B.C. to lend support for several major wildfires now burning.
Coastal forests, which tend to be cooler and moister than hot, dry Interior forests, are now edg-ing upward from a warm and relatively dry spring.
On Wednesday, open fires prohibited in the Coastal Fire Centre’s jurisdiction to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety. It remains in effect until Oct. 16.
The prohibition covers all B.C. parks, Crown lands and private lands within the Coastal Fire Centre, with the exception of the area known as the “Fog Zone” and Haida Gwaii. It does not apply within the boundaries of a local government that has wildfire prevention bylaws in place and is ser-viced by a fire department.

Arnold Lim Black Press
You often don’t know what you have until it is gone.
I didn’t appreciate most of the teachers I had until long after they left my life, but I now find myself reflecting on the differences they made.
One such teacher was Mitch Stringer, an instructor at the Western Academy of Photography, who helped instil a clinical, technical knowledge of photography that I didn’t believe was important until I began working in the field. I still run into him every so often and reminisce on the difference he made for me.
In this final feature instalment for the 2015 Black Press/Staples Great Teachers series, we asked members of the community to reflect on some of their favourite teachers and the effect they had on their lives.
Lisa Helps, City of Victoria mayor – “[Mr. Kimmel] let us do whatever we wanted and think outside the box,” Helps said of her Central High School teacher in London, Ont.
“It had a huge influence on me and my approach to life. Even
as mayor, I’m always looking for what’s a different way to think about it or what’s a different way to do it.
“I was interested in the activist
element and saving the rainforest and he said ‘go for it’,” said Helps. “He was interested in us as people, not just as students.”
Stew Young, City of Langford mayor – “I was more into sports, and (Belmont teachers Jim Gauly and Muzz Bryant) were great in keeping us involved in sports and were great role models… They were as excited about us playing as they were to coach, and even after I became the mayor, they were always there to help support. Even in retirement, they gave me the support I needed to get the facilities for schools by writing letters … Those are two guys that really got involved in the community.”
Tania Miller, music director, Victoria Symphony Orchestra – “One of the teachers who made the most impact on me was my
piano teacher, Thelma Gillis. She drove 50 kilometres to our small town twice a week to inspire lots of kids with music. There was a point where I was getting more and more serious about being a professional musician, and needed more time with her in order to study piano as well as theory, harmony and history. My parents had given me the responsibility to pay for my own lessons, and in order to do that, I taught piano
myself in order to make enough money.
“As my lessons became more frequent, Mrs. Gillis told me that she wasn’t going to charge me for most of the lessons, and she volunteered many hours to teach me or to mark my many practice exams. She was patient, kind, gentle and passionate about music and made a lasting impact on me and many people, as she inspired us all to love and appreciate music.”
Kathy Kay, executive director, Victoria Film Festival – “Mr. Robinson, to a 10-year-old, he
was like dad with no hugging. Exacting, focused and kind. Math, which was not my strongest suit, saddled me with a daily struggle, yet he always had time to encourage and explain. I was in a school that was breaking new ground and experimenting with teaching styles and even the new math textbook didn’t come with a binding.
“Mr. Robinson could teach old school or new school and somehow the duality made it all clearer. Most of my schoolmates thought him too tough, but he set a standard of expectation and I think it stays with me to this day. (He taught me) you should decide what (activities) you want to be part of your life, whether work or play, and you give it your all.”
Quality teachers always leave a lasting legacy

Kendra WongVictoria News
Victoria’s mayor is hoping other munici-palities will consider creating their own housing trust fund to address the issue of homelessness in the Capital Regional Dis-trict.
Victoria city coun-cil sent a letter to the municipalities of Esqui-malt, Oak Bay, North and Central Saanich, View Royal, Metchosin and Highlands recently encouraging them to establish a housing trust fund.
Victoria is one of six municipalities within the CRD to have its own fund specifically for affordable housing initiatives
“It has been very effective,” said Mayor Lisa Helps. “It gets used up and replenished, so the money is not just sitting there.”
City council recently increased the amount it contributes to $1 mil-lion from $250,000.
According to city documents, they have helped build more than 700 units for roughly 18 local non-profit organi-zations with the fund.
Currently, almost all municipalities pay into the district’s Regional Housing Trust Fund, so not all councils are jumping at the idea of establishing another homelessness fund.
The Township of Esquimalt contributes $37,000 annually to the $1.3-million fund.
“We are affordable within an unaffordable region,” said Esquimalt
Mayor Barb Desjar-dins, noting the results of a recent report. “We are affordable and at the end of the day, we are contributing to the CRD fund and that is all we need to do at this point.”
Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen said the letter hasn’t come to council yet and will likely be brought up at the next meeting. He said he prefers to keep the cur-rent system with the CRD.
“I think there is strength in numbers. Instead of creating our own little housing trust funds that are admin-istered for different reasons, I think we get more bang for our buck when we work together on affordable housing.”
Oak Bay contributes just over $60,000 annu-ally to the fund.
But Helps said coun-cils should look at homelessness as a regional issue.
“There’s a certain feeling that the capi-tal regional trust fund
might be the best body for regional housing and I agree with that, but we also need other people in the region to contribute to it,” she said.
“It’s an incredibly effective tool for actu-ally getting housing built.”

“I feel like I’m the heartbeat of the boat,” says Lacharity, who is participating in her second season with the team. “I just feel very inspired when I’m doing it. When we’re paddling a long piece like that and
it’s long and steady, it’s just so calming to hear the boom boom of the drum, like a heartbeat.”
For Kevin Hourigan, who is also visually impaired, the team offers him a chance to try something he has never been a part of – a team.
“It’s not something I’ve done all my life,” says Hourigan. “When I was a kid, trying out for basketball and football, I always flubbed out because I couldn’t see. Now, you don’t have to be able to see to be good at the sport,” he said.
The team recently
picked up a silver medal during the annual Fairway Gorge Super Sprints 250 metre race and will continue to train for the Nanaimo Dragon Boat race in July, and Gorge Fest and the Victoria Dragon Boat Festival in August.
Blind paddlers learn about teamwork
A record number of teams reg-istered for Bike to Work Week in Greater Victoria, organizers say.
More than 700 teams registered for the week-long event encourag-ing people to get out and pedal to work.
Attendance is also up at the 18 celebration stations in Victoria.
On Monday, the Selkirk Trestle South station saw more than 550 people, while the station at Dock-side Green saw more than 400 people.
There are $30,000 worth of prizes, including bikes, bike racks, custom orthotics, tours and hotel stays that teams can win this year. There is also an online auction that closes on June 12 (gobid.ca) and a 50/50 raffle.
Cyclist can end the week with a barbecue at the Switch Bridge from 3:30-5:30 p.m. today (May 30).
Bike to Work Week is in its 21st year. Full results should be tallied by June 12.

Two Victoria men are set to appear in court Monday after a brutal assault that sent one man to hospital with life-threatening injuries earlier this week.
George Earl Storry, 60, and Russell Hugh Mer-edith, 53, face one count of attempted murder.
On May 22, shortly after 9 p.m. a resident of a multi-room residential dwelling in the 200-block of Langford Street called 911 after hearing what the person believed to be someone being assaulted in one of the
complex rooms. Officers arrived on scene and discovered
a 43-year-old Victoria man suffering from what appeared to be life-threatening injuries.
The victim was transported to hospital and two men located on scene were taken into custody.
Investigators believe the 911 call may have inter-rupted the assault, saving the victim’s life.

Amaryllis Perry, 10, has already raised hundreds of dollars for the BCSPCA Victo-ria Branch – and she’s hoping to raise more this weekend.
“Amaryllis wanted to do something two years ago to help sup-port the BCSPCA, so we decided to put together a bake sale. The first year it gen-erated $600 in sales and donations and last year it raised over $1,200, all of which went to the SPCA,” said Tony Perry, Ama-ryllis’s dad.
With her third annual bake sale, Amaryllis hopes to raise more than $1,200 to help the area’s ani-mals who are in need of care.
“We are always impressed by the ambition and drive of our youth donors,” said Marsha MacMur-chy, BCSPCA commu-nity fundraiser.
“It is children like Amaryllis, with her huge heart for ani-
mals, who will drive the future of our ani-mals’ welfare and make such an impact on those currently in our care.”
The bake sale is Sat-urday (May 30), from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 1724 Kings Rd.

The Conservative Party has said it will not take part in the television debates organized by a consortium of television stations, thus finally breaking apart the monopoly on TV debates that has been held by the Canadian televison networks for the past 45 years.
That’s a good thing. But manipulation by the Conservatives as to which debates their leader, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, will appear in is not a good thing.
While Harper is already committed to appear in several debates, there is far too much manipulation involved in this whole exercise. This is coming from a government that has taken manipulation from the prime minister’s office to a new level.
The Conservatives are correct in saying that people get information about political campaigns from a multitude of sources, not just television. In an age where social media is more important than ever, examining how to reach voters should be a major concern of every political party.
What the whole shouting match over debates has proven beyond a doubt is that the political parties and the media are not the ones to organize how political dialogue takes place during an election. Nowhere is this more true than in the organizing of debates where party leaders, who wield an inordinate amount of power under our system, discuss issues with each other.
It would be better if Elections Canada took over administration of debates, based on guidelines that were agreed to by all parties.
Debates between political party leaders are an important part of democracy, and are very important milestones during an election campaign. The federal debates need to be lively, catch significant voter attention and be scrupulously fair to all.

Opposition politicians were outraged over the B.C. government’s latest effort to secure its first major liquefied natural gas deal, announced last week.
Premier Christy Clark, Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman and Finance Minister Mike de Jong signed agreements with Pacific Northwest LNG for a long-term gas royalty structure that could run for 30 years.
The government says the deal guarantees minimum royalty revenue for the province, while the investors increase their revenue if the spread between gas prices in North America and Asia increases during the term.
Pacific Northwest is a partnership of some of the biggest investors and gas customers: Malaysian state giant Petronas, its Canadian subsidiary Progress Energy, Chinese state firm Sinopec, Indian Oil Corp. and
Japan Petroleum.These corporate giants will
review a project development agreement, and if they approve, Clark will convene the legislature
to approve changes that would compensate them if the new LNG income tax increases.
Environmental changes such as a “discriminatory” carbon tax increase or greenhouse gas regulations on LNG would also trigger compensation. Future changes to general carbon tax or corporate income tax rates would not.
NDP leader John Horgan warned that “too much lolly” is being offered, with no word of job guarantees for B.C. or a deal with First Nations at the proposed site near Prince Rupert.
“My biggest concern is that we’re tying the hands of future governments because a desperate government made commitments that they over-promised on and now they want
to get a deal at any cost,” Horgan said.
Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver called it “shocking and irresponsible,” repeating his prediction that the global market is swimming in gas and will never support huge green-field projects across B.C.
For the investors, it’s like a mortgage. There are “subjects” to be removed before the deal closes, and this is a proposed $36-billion mortgage for pipelines, LNG processing and shipping facilities.
This isn’t just a political dispute.
Petronas delayed its investment decision to this year and cited exactly these concerns, certainty on taxation and royalties beyond the election cycle. With that in hand, their obstacles remain federal environmental approval and a revenue sharing deal with a First Nation to host a terminal.
Pacific Northwest CEO Michael Culbert notes that answers to questions posed by the Lax Kw’alaams First Nation were submitted to federal regulators
only days before they started voting on a $1 billion share of LNG proceeds over 40 years.
The vote was a resounding no, despite a redesign that put pipelines on a suspension bridge over the most sensitive salmon habitat. Culbert suggests that given some time to examine environmental mitigation work, that answer may change.
Does aboriginal title offer a veto over projects like this? According to the recent Supreme Court of Canada decision on the Tsilhqot’in case, the short answer is no. Objections could be overridden if governments determine a project is in the interest of the greater public.
Talks have taken place with 19 First Nations affected by pipelines and facilities, and 14 have agreed. While they continue with Lax Kw’alaams and other Tsimshian Nations on the coast, it’s worth recalling that others are not so reluctant.

A local counselling centre will be getting a much-needed face lift over the next few weeks.
The Greater Victoria Citizens’ Counselling Centre is receiving more than $150,000 worth of improve-ments to its building on Kings Road over the next three weeks.
The renovations are part of Radi-cal Renovations, a program through the HeroWork Program Society, a non-profit organization that helps provide physical upgrades to local charities.
“Many of us are excited to do it because of the work that [the centre] does in the community,” said Paul Latour, founder and executive direc-tor of HeroWork.
“In my mind, someone who is going through grief, trauma or distress, to go get counselling before they go down a challenging road has a huge effect that not many people see.”
He said 114 counsellors at the cen-tre helped 1,200 people with roughly
9,000 hours worth of counselling. Upgrades start today (Friday) and
continue for three consecutive week-ends with some 200 community vol-unteers lending a hand.
“We’re extremely excited. It’s an amazing gift to be given,” said Brenda Wilson, executive director of the counselling centre. “Our building was old and tired and when we come back in, it’s all going to be new and fresh and I think that gives a lift to our clients, volunteers and our staff.”
The renovations on the 3,000-square foot building include replacing carpeting and ceiling tiles, re-doing all four bathrooms to include one that’s wheelchair acces-sible, installing two kitchenettes and new lighting, painting the interior and exterior, and replacing windows, handrails and office furniture, among other things.
The centre will be utilizing a space at the MS Society until renovations are complete.
This is the fifth Radical Renovation that HeroWork has completed so far.

The road to B.C. Junior B hockey supremacy will travel through Victoria in 2016.
B.C. Hockey awarded the 2016 Cyclone Tay-lor Cup, British Colum-bia’s Junior B provin-cial championship, to the Victoria Cougars of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League (VIJHL) Monday.
The tournament will run from April 7 to 10.
“On behalf of the Vic-toria Cougars Junior Hockey Club, I’d like to say that we are hon-oured to be selected to host the 2016 Cyclone Taylor Cup,” said Tom Arlidge, director at large for the Victo-ria Cougars, in a B.C. Hockey press release.
“I know that our board of directors, vol-unteers and coaches will work together to produce what we hope will be the best Cyclone Taylor Cup to date.”
The Cyclone Taylor Cup pits the best of the best from B.C. Junior B hockey against one another.
The four-team tournament features league champions from each of the prov-ince’s three Junior B
hockey leagues -- the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL), Pacific Junior Hockey League (PJHL) and VIJHL -- along with the host team.
“[Victoria] provided a solid bid with strong indicators of hosting a successful event,” said Sean Orr, senior manager of communi-cations and events for
B.C. Hockey. “We went through
our process to formally review the bid and fol-low up with the host committee. From our review, it looks like they will be hosting a first-class event that can continue on from the great job that Mission did [in 2015].”
The venue for the tournament will be announced at a later date by the Cougars.
The Archie Browning Sports Centre in Esqui-malt is home to the Cougars for all VIJHL home dates.

Runner faces international challenge
Victoria ultramarathon racer Matt Cecill will compete in the 2015 IAU Trail World Championships, to be held in Lac D’Annecy, France tomorrow (May 30).
Cecill will represent Canada in the international event.
Cecill is avid ultra trail runner but also is comfortable on road.
Last month Cecill won the Yakima Skyline 25K, and in 2014 he won the Deception Pass 50K and the Fat Dog 120 mile race.
“My goal for the championships is to represent my country well, and have a great experience in my first taste of international competition. I will push to my limits, and beyond. The course looks to be beautiful and rugged.”
The race is 85 kilometres with 5,300 metres of vertical terrain that circumnavigates Lake Annecy via five surrounding summits.

Urban crossover with a mind of its own
Driving through spectacular Spanish scenery shows the capability the Touareg SUV
“It is a pleasure to drive in desert or town, so I guess that does make it truly an urban
crossover, as described.” Keith Morgan, Driveway editor
‘‘The basic ingredients aren’t so basic even in the base model! Standard equipment includes cloth seats, split-folding rear bench, push-button start, rearview camera and Mazda Connect infotainment system.’’Keith Morgan
Phoenix, AZ – Sheesh, Just what we need, another crossover vehicle.Well, at least that was my thought when Mazda invited me to drive its new com-pact CX-3 in the desert.One roll of the eyeballs later, after read-ing the line about it being an ‘exciting new urban crossover’ and my thoughts turned to sun and heat.Things didn’t start well in the pre-drive presentation at the exotic Camelback Mountain Resort when an earnest man from Mazda showed a video of how the CX-3 outperformed its key rivals – the new Honda HRV and a Subaru Forester – in taking off from a snow-covered hillside road. Some chance of us putting that boast to the test in the sizzling desert.Then the presenter moonwalked around the stage to demonstrate how we sub-consciously adjust our gait when we feel an icy surface beneath our feet. That’s what the CX-3’s all-wheel drive system does in milli-seconds, before deciding how much power to dispatch to each wheel in order to gain traction. Artificial Intelligence is truly here. First sight of the CX-3 dispelled some of my early wariness. It’s not often I say this, but this is one hand-some little vehicle from that little Japanese company that could and does regularly outshine in design the products of its giant rivals. This is not just a shrunken CX-5 or a Mazda3 on steroids, though there clear fa-milial similarities with the former. It’s positively sporty looking and appears capable of springing forward at pace on green.
Looks can be deceiving. The Skyactiv-G 2.0-litre, 146-horsepower four-cylin-der engine is not going to enable the burning of rubber, even on a steep, downward incline. Paddle shifters in the GT edition and pushing the efficient six-speed automatic transmission into Sport mode can further the sporty illusion. However, the CX-3 is not designed to be a rally car. It does get up to speed and it performs more than adequate-ly in passing on the highway. It is a pleasure to drive in desert or town, so I guess that does make it truly an urban crossover, as described. The road holding and handling abilities in the twisties do allow one to fantasize about the track. If you really must. My co-driver Mark Richardson frequent-ly stops to take photos. Once, while tire deep in gravel, a broad grin appeared. We had found our desert snow.“Morgy, turn the wheel and gun it!” he yelled, quickly retreating to avoid pock marking of his visage. Not one nearby cactus was harmed in
our rigorous pedal-to-the-metal test. The A.I. kicked in and it pulled away smoothly with neither a judder nor a slip. Later, while Mark was reliving his boy racer youth at the wheel, flipping between the modes, I took a longer look and listen at the interior. Yes, listen. While Mark gunned the engine, it was pretty quiet in the cabin. In addition, the added height offered that commanding view of the road seemingly so desired by many drivers.It’s listed as a five-seater but it’s not if all occupants
are adults and the journey, or more likely commute, is long. It’s essentially a car for a couple and maybe one genetic unit but once that family grows then the CX-5 will appear on the family shopping list. That said, it’s a comfy ride in all seating positions.The rear cargo area is wonderful with rear seats flat-tened but limited otherwise. It’s probably fine –though for this car’s intended use and perfectly adequate for the weekly Big Shop.“Upscale” is a word rarely used when describing the fit, finish and looks of a compact car’s interior but it fits here. The lines flow pleasingly throughout and the use of red and metallic accents coupled with upmarket stitching is simply classy.The basic ingredients aren’t so basic even in the base model! – Standard equipment includes cloth seats, split-folding rear bench, push-button start, rear view camera and Mazda Connect infotainment system. The more deluxe models add nicer materials, offering premium safety and audio technology. The Front Wheel Drive version could be a good urban choice but I think Canadians will opt for the AWD CX-3. The fuel economy numbers are not dramatically different between the two options – 7.6 L/100km (FWD) 8.1 L/100km (AWD), combined city/highway.The CX-3 should arrive in local dealerships any day now. Prices have just been released.The base GX FWD starts at $20,695, the AWD version adds two grand to the sticker price, and that is also the base price for the GS. The GT starts at a hefty $28,995 and rises to $30,495. Take a long look at the GS versions.

A Jeep Unlimited in name onlyBy Bob McHugh
In 2007, Jeep introduced a new longer wheelbase, 4-door version of its iconic “Wrangler” utility vehicle that it called “Wrangler Unlimited”.
It must have been a “why didn’t we think of this before?” moment for the Jeep organi-zation, as Wrangler Unlimited quickly widened the market appeal of this outstanding off-road vehicle.
Yes, a longer wheelbase sacrifices a degree of agility, but adds much needed interior space and utility. The stretched body not only allows Wran-gler Unlimited to tote more people and/or stuff around, the rear seat is mounted ahead of the rear axle, which gives rear passengers a less bumpy ride. When the seats are folded, they present a completely flat extended cargo floor and 2,353-litres of storage space.
Fast-forward to the 2011 model year and Wrangler Unlimited may still look the same on the outside but it came with an all-new interior. Heated seats, climate control, new audio inputs, Bluetooth connectivity, power-heated side mirrors and a 115-volt electrical outlet, make roughing it outdoors just a tad more comfortable.
Wrangler Unlimited is the only four-door convertible currently on the market and its standard Sunrider soft
top has a clever sunroof feature, in addition to a full top-down position. Classic Jeep features include its round headlights, a flat fold-down wind-shield, exposed door hinges and doors that are easy to remove and available in both full or half frame.
An optional Jeep Freedom Top is a three-piece modular hardtop, which fits over a retracted soft top. In addition to providing a higher level of security, it has three removable panels. There are two Targa-like removable roof panels up front and a larger panel over the rear seats.
Wrangler Unlimited originally came with a torque-rich 3.8-litre V6 coupled either to a six-speed manual trans-mission or a four-speed automatic. It’s not a light vehicle and tips the scales at a robust 1896 kg (4180 lb), so gas consumption is also heavy.
Expect gas consumption at 15.6/11.8 L/100 km (city/highway - new five-cycle rating) with the automatic transmission. So, to provide its wilderness-wandering customers
the extended driving range they expect, Jeep fits an Unlimited with an extra large (85-litre) gas tank.
The base Sport and Sahara trim levels came with a sec-ond-generation Command-Trac part-time four-wheel-drive, with a two-speed transfer case and a 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio. A Trac-Lok limited-slip rear differ-
ential was optional.Aimed at serious out-door enthusi-
asts, the Rubicon edition is probably more Jeep than most buyers need. This off-road-ready machine comes with beefier suspension and steering components, protective skid plates, a roll cage and higher ground clearance. It also has an Off-Road Rock-Trac two-speed transfer case, a 4.0:1 low-range gear ratio, electric front- and rear-axle lockers and an electronic sway bar disconnect.
The 2012 Wrangler Unlimited got a new 3.6 litre V6 engine and a 5-speed automatic transmission. Power output and fuel economy, however, are both roughly the same as the 3.8 litre V6 / four-speed automatic combo they replaced. No significant changes were made to Wrangler Unlimited for its 2013 or 2014 model years.
A champion of the un-paved path, Jeep Wrangler Unlimited allows own-ers to pack more gear and share their outdoor adventure.

SummerSummerFUN!FUN!Summer camp options abound in Victoria
Summer camp is a beloved tradition in many families. Many parents of young children fondly recall spending
their summers at summer camp, where they made
lifelong friends and learned the finer points of roasting marshmallows and competing in three-legged sack races.
Parents looking for the right summer camp for their children will soon discover there are various types of summer camps, each offering youngsters something different.
The following are some of the summer camp options parents can expect to encounter as they search for the right camper for their kids.
Day camp – Day camps are not overnight camps, which means kids will return home each night rather than sleep over at camp. Day camps typically offer many of the activities people have come to associate with camps, including crafts, sports and even day-trips to experience local culture or attractions. Many day camps are co-ed, and counsellors typically live within the community.
Faith-based camp – Faith-based camps offer many of the same activities as more traditional summer camps, but do so while simultaneously offering campers the opportunity to celebrate and further explore their religious beliefs.
Sports camps – Some summer camps focus on a particular sport, catering to young athletes who want to further develop their athletic talents. Sports camps may feature guest lectures and lessons from notable local athletes and coaches, while some camps may provide instruction from current or former professional athletes. Some sports camps are overnight, while others are day camps.
Family camps – Family camps are opportunities for the whole family to enjoy the summer camp experience. Family camps typically tailor their activities around tasks families can complete together, with counsellors providing assistance when it’s needed.
Special needs camps – Parents of children with special needs can still send their kids to summer camp, as there are many camps that cater to such youngsters. Special needs camps may cater to campers who are blind, deaf, learning disabled, or mentally or physically disabled. Staff at special needs camps typically undergoes extensive training, which helps to calm some of the fears parents may have about leaving their special needs children at camp.3075 Douglas Street, Victoria

SummerSummerFUN!FUN!Cathedral School offers summer camps
As the school year winds up with a flurry of activity, preparations are made to shift gears into summer activities.
For more than 20 years, Christ Church Cathedral School’s summer program “Lux Mundi” (which means “the light of the world”) has provided a safe and fun expe-rience for children aged 5 to 10 years old.
Also operating during Christmas and spring break holidays, this program opens the doors of Cathedral School to everyone in the community. Most of the children in the program return every year and meet up with the friends they have made in pre-
vious years. With the facilities of Cathedral School
available for indoor activities, the outdoor playground and two school buses for field trips, every day is a new adventure.
Some places the summer camp vis-its include Beacon Hill Park, Royal B.C. Museum, Swan Lake Nature Sanctuary, Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre, Raptors Wild Bird Demonstration and numerous local water parks and beaches.
For children interested in technology, Cathedral School is offering technology-based week-long camps for boys and girls aged 9 to 12. Participants will learn how to build and program their own robots in Lego Mindstorms; discover, create and solve problems in a virtual world in Minecraft; and learn basic programming for 2D video games and animations in Scratch programming.
A full schedule of weekly themes is avail-able on the school website.
To register for either the Lux Mundi sum-mer program or the technology camps, get in touch with the school at 250-383-5125 or email: [email protected].

The wrong mortgage term or type can put you in a serious bind down the road
Dan EbenalBlack Press
As interest rates remain in historically low ter-ritory there are a number of attractive options for those looking to enter the housing market or renew their mortgage.
With an increasing number of low-rate, no-frills mortgage promotions, one local advisor is sug-gesting that those shopping for a mortgage keep in mind that cheapest isn’t always the best.
Paul Macara, a mortgage broker with Invis-Beyer Mortgage Services, said although shoppers will take many things into consideration before making a purchase, many believe the lowest rate is the only factor in choosing a mortgage.
“Who really knows what life might be like a few years down the road?” asked Macara. “The lack of flexibility associated with a no-frills mortgage could end up causing you some major headaches and costing you more in the long run.”
He said those shopping for a mortgage need to take a number of factors into consideration, pointing to refinancing penalties, fixed of variable rates, term length, pre-payment options, payment flexibility, restrictions, fees and portability.
“An amazing cut rate mortgage could have you locked into a very rigid contract filled with finan-cial trip lines that could work against you down the road. That’s why it’s important to check the fine print,” said Macara.
While in general Macara likes the security that comes with a five-year rate, he said a variable rate has its benefits, “as long as you’re willing to live with the risk.” He said a variable rate would not be the best option for someone on a fixed income.
Most homeowners should expect to pay a pen-alty if they want to break their mortgage to get a better rate or for a complete refinance. Many in five-year fixed mortgages will look to refinance during the third year for debt consolidation or to accommodate changing circumstances.
“Some no-frills mortgages come with larger than your typical IRD [interest rate differential] penalties. It is important to understand how your penalty will be calculated before signing.”
Macara said knowing whether it’s worth it to break a mortgage is simply a matter of doing the math.
He also suggests looking over the prepayment options that will allow you to chip away at the principal to reduce the overall cost.
“I always encourage my clients to try to take advantage of prepayments each year as these go directly to the principal,” he said.
A maximum 25-year amortization can take away flexibility that may be needed later, with many homeowners choosing a 30-year amorti-zation but setting their payments to the higher amortization period.
This gives them the option to reduce their pay-
ments should an emergency arise or situations change.
“For first-time buyers too, a 25-year amorti-zation means higher payments than a 30-year amortization and could limit their entry into the market,” he said.
Macara suggests speaking with a mortgage bro-ker or other financial advisor before jumping at the lowest rate you can find, as that can spell disaster.
“We’ll always help you find the right combi-nation of low rate with the options you need to achieve your goals for homeownership and the financial future you want.”

Q: Why should I consIder
a mortgage broker?
Mortgage brokers are independent licensed pro-fessionals who are trained to provide their clients with expert advice on mortgages.
Since they are indepen-dent, rather than employed by a particular lending institution, they are on your team rather than that of the lender. Their job is to find you the best fit in terms of the financial package you’re committing to, from whoever will offer you the term and rate that suits your particular needs.
Choosing the right mort-gage is as important as choosing the right property, as making the wrong choice in either case can lead to significant financial pres-sures down the road.
Since purchasing a home is one of the biggest finan-cial expenditures made in one’s lifetime, it’s nice to have a teammate in your corner, which is why many choose to use mortgage brokers to look at financing options on their behalf.
As with any large decision you make, you will generally make a better one if you have more people on your team considering your inter-ests and needs.

David Suzuki is coming to Victoria.
The Canadian environ-mentalist and host of CBC’s The Nature of Things will be at the Vic Theatre on Satur-day (May 30) as part of his tour for his new book, Let-ters to My Grandchildren.
The presentation also includes a 30-minute film.
The screening of Windy Bay, filmed as part of The Nature of Things in the early 1980s, focuses on a topic that Suzuki still feels is just as important and relevant today.
“The Windy Bay story was broadcast in the mid-dle of the battle over log-ging in Haida Gwaii. The film excited the greatest response to any story on The Nature of Things and played an important role in galvanizing Canada’s sup-port for the Haida,” says Suzuki.
“The issues and perspec-tives in this great ecologi-cal success story serve as a model to be followed all over the world.”
This all-ages event will take place at 4:15 p.m.,
opening with the Windy Bay screening lead in to a discussion and Q&A ses-sion.
Suzuki will finish the event with a book signing. Tickets to the event are $15.
Letters to My Grandchil-dren combines advice with autobiographical stories that reflect wisdom and courage that are key to learning from the past and working towards the future.
Tickets are online at box-office.victoriafilmfestival.com.

GRADS AHEAD
Urban crossover with a mind of its own
Driving through spectacular Spanish scenery shows the capability the Touareg SUV
“It is a pleasure to drive in desert or town, so I guess that does make it truly an urban
crossover, as described.” Keith Morgan, Driveway editor
‘‘The basic ingredients aren’t so basic even in the base model! Standard equipment includes cloth seats, split-folding rear bench, push-button start, rearview camera and Mazda Connect infotainment system.’’Keith Morgan
Phoenix, AZ – Sheesh, Just what we need, another crossover vehicle.Well, at least that was my thought when Mazda invited me to drive its new com-pact CX-3 in the desert.One roll of the eyeballs later, after read-ing the line about it being an ‘exciting new urban crossover’ and my thoughts turned to sun and heat.Things didn’t start well in the pre-drive presentation at the exotic Camelback Mountain Resort when an earnest man from Mazda showed a video of how the CX-3 outperformed its key rivals – the new Honda HRV and a Subaru Forester – in taking off from a snow-covered hillside road. Some chance of us putting that boast to the test in the sizzling desert.Then the presenter moonwalked around the stage to demonstrate how we sub-consciously adjust our gait when we feel an icy surface beneath our feet. That’s what the CX-3’s all-wheel drive system does in milli-seconds, before deciding how much power to dispatch to each wheel in order to gain traction. Artificial Intelligence is truly here. First sight of the CX-3 dispelled some of my early wariness. It’s not often I say this, but this is one hand-some little vehicle from that little Japanese company that could and does regularly outshine in design the products of its giant rivals. This is not just a shrunken CX-5 or a Mazda3 on steroids, though there clear fa-milial similarities with the former. It’s positively sporty looking and appears capable of springing forward at pace on green.
Looks can be deceiving. The Skyactiv-G 2.0-litre, 146-horsepower four-cylin-der engine is not going to enable the burning of rubber, even on a steep, downward incline. Paddle shifters in the GT edition and pushing the efficient six-speed automatic transmission into Sport mode can further the sporty illusion. However, the CX-3 is not designed to be a rally car. It does get up to speed and it performs more than adequate-ly in passing on the highway. It is a pleasure to drive in desert or town, so I guess that does make it truly an urban crossover, as described. The road holding and handling abilities in the twisties do allow one to fantasize about the track. If you really must. My co-driver Mark Richardson frequent-ly stops to take photos. Once, while tire deep in gravel, a broad grin appeared. We had found our desert snow.“Morgy, turn the wheel and gun it!” he yelled, quickly retreating to avoid pock marking of his visage. Not one nearby cactus was harmed in
our rigorous pedal-to-the-metal test. The A.I. kicked in and it pulled away smoothly with neither a judder nor a slip. Later, while Mark was reliving his boy racer youth at the wheel, flipping between the modes, I took a longer look and listen at the interior. Yes, listen. While Mark gunned the engine, it was pretty quiet in the cabin. In addition, the added height offered that commanding view of the road seemingly so desired by many drivers.It’s listed as a five-seater but it’s not if all occupants
are adults and the journey, or more likely commute, is long. It’s essentially a car for a couple and maybe one genetic unit but once that family grows then the CX-5 will appear on the family shopping list. That said, it’s a comfy ride in all seating positions.The rear cargo area is wonderful with rear seats flat-tened but limited otherwise. It’s probably fine –though for this car’s intended use and perfectly adequate for the weekly Big Shop.“Upscale” is a word rarely used when describing the fit, finish and looks of a compact car’s interior but it fits here. The lines flow pleasingly throughout and the use of red and metallic accents coupled with upmarket stitching is simply classy.The basic ingredients aren’t so basic even in the base model! – Standard equipment includes cloth seats, split-folding rear bench, push-button start, rear view camera and Mazda Connect infotainment system. The more deluxe models add nicer materials, offering premium safety and audio technology. The Front Wheel Drive version could be a good urban choice but I think Canadians will opt for the AWD CX-3. The fuel economy numbers are not dramatically different between the two options – 7.6 L/100km (FWD) 8.1 L/100km (AWD), combined city/highway.The CX-3 should arrive in local dealerships any day now. Prices have just been released.The base GX FWD starts at $20,695, the AWD version adds two grand to the sticker price, and that is also the base price for the GS. The GT starts at a hefty $28,995 and rises to $30,495. Take a long look at the GS versions.

WHY WAITAT THE DEALERSHIP?
A Jeep Unlimited in name onlyBy Bob McHugh
In 2007, Jeep introduced a new longer wheel-base, 4-door version of its iconic “Wrangler” util-ity vehicle that it called “Wrangler Unlimited”.
It must have been a “why didn’t we think of this before?” moment for the Jeep organization, as Wrangler Unlimited quickly widened the mar-ket appeal of this outstanding off-road vehicle.
Yes, a longer wheelbase sacrifices a degree of agility, but adds much needed interior space and utility. The stretched body not only allows Wrangler Unlimited to tote more people and/or stuff around, the rear seat is mounted ahead of the rear axle, which gives rear passengers a less bumpy ride. When the seats are folded, they present a completely flat extended cargo floor and 2,353-litres of storage space.
Fast-forward to the 2011 model year and Wrangler Unlimited may still look the same on the outside but it came with an all-new interior. Heated seats, climate control, new audio inputs, Bluetooth connectivity, power-heated side mir-rors and a 115-volt electrical outlet, make rough-ing it outdoors just a tad more comfortable.
Wrangler Unlimited is the only four-door con-vertible currently on the market and its standard Sunrider soft top has a clever sunroof feature, in addition to a full top-down position. Classic Jeep features include its round headlights, a flat fold-down windshield, exposed door hinges and doors that are easy to remove and available in both full or half frame.
An optional Jeep Freedom Top is a three-piece modular hardtop, which fits over a retracted soft top. In addition to providing a higher level of security, it has three removable panels. There are two Targa-like removable roof panels up front
and a larger panel over the rear seats. Wrangler Unlimited originally came with
a torque-rich 3.8-litre V6 coupled either to a six-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic. It’s not a light vehicle and tips the scales at a robust 1896 kg (4180 lb), so gas consumption is also heavy.
Expect gas consumption at 15.6/11.8 L/100 km (city/highway - new five-cycle rating) with the automatic transmission. So, to provide its wilderness-wandering customers the extended driving range they expect, Jeep fits an Unlimited with an extra large (85-litre) gas tank.
The base Sport and Sahara trim levels came with a second-generation Command-Trac part-time four-wheel-drive, with a two-speed transfer case and a 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio. A Trac-Lok limited-slip rear differential was optional.
Aimed at serious out-door enthusiasts, the
Rubicon edition is probably more Jeep than most buyers need. This off-road-ready machine comes with beefier suspension and steering components, protective skid plates, a roll cage and higher ground clearance. It also has an Off-Road Rock-Trac two-speed transfer case, a 4.0:1 low-range gear ratio, electric front- and rear-axle lockers and an electronic sway bar disconnect.
The 2012 Wrangler Unlimited got a new 3.6 li-tre V6 engine and a 5-speed automatic transmis-sion. Power output and fuel economy, however, are both roughly the same as the 3.8 litre V6 / four-speed automatic combo they replaced. No significant changes were made to Wrangler Unlimited for its 2013 or 2014 model years.
A champion of the un-paved path, Jeep Wran-gler Unlimited allows owners to pack more gear and share their outdoor adventure.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Career goals are front
and center, Aries. Try to process any fears that may have held you back before now, and you will discover that those fears are unfounded.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21This week you dis-
cover a good mix of cre-ativity and practicality that you can put to use at work and at home, Taurus. Make it last as long as possible to reap the rewards.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, you are
capable of making big decisions, but you’re not entirely sure if you want to just yet. Bide your time and think everything through for the next several days.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, you have put
in long hours on a big project, and now is the time to buckle down and put in one last great effort. After that you can finally relax.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, things will fall
into place sooner than you expect if you focus on the things that you can accomplish. Wish-ing and hoping won’t get you far.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, others con-
tinue to send you mixed messages. While this may be confusing, soon you will learn to navigate others’ sig-nals and make the right decisions.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, your schedule
is loaded with a lot of commitments. While things might seem hec-tic from time to time, remember that your hard work now will pay off in the future.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22
Reevaluate what is most important to you and set a new plan in motion, Scorpio. Oth-ers will be very sup-portive and serve as sounding boards as you determine where to go next.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21
Sagittarius, take a deep breath and relax when faced with a diffi-cult decision this week. Trust your instincts and make a decision you are truly confident in.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20
Capricorn, an author-ity figure wants to chal-lenge you this week, so show him or her what you really are made of. Your ideas are valid, and you just need to assert yourself.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18
Aquarius, you are more than willing to give it your all this week. You are accus-tomed to giving your
best effort so this chal-lenge should be noth-ing you can’t handle.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, a tight sched-
ule has you focused on the tasks at hand. You are more than capable of handling what’s on your plate.
