OAK BAYNEWSWaiting for the big one to strikeDan EbenalNews Staff

Three hundred and fifteen years and counting.

On Jan. 26, 1700 one of the world’s largest earthquakes occurred off the west coast of Vancouver Island. The undersea Cascadia thrust fault ruptured along a 1,000-kilometre length, from mid Vancouver Island to northern California, producing a megathrust earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 8.7.

“We know that these earthquakes do occur in a cyclic fashion so there is going to be another megaquake,” said Stephen Johnston, director of the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences at the University of Victoria.

He said it’s impossible to accurately predict when the next megaquake will hit but they occur in cycles of between 300 and 700 years.

“What a lot of research is going into of late is trying to pin down whether it’s closer to 300 years, in which case we should start being concerned, or if it’s closer to 700 years, in which case we can relax a bit,” said Johnston.

The earthquake in 1700 collapsed houses of the Cowichan people on Vancouver Island and caused numerous landslides and a tsunami that swept across the Pacific, causing devastation in Japan.

According to Natural Resources Canada, the shaking from the earthquake was so violent on Vancouver Island that people could not stand and lasted so long it made them sick. The

tsunami completely destroyed the winter village of the Pachena Bay people, leaving no survivors.

Geological evidence indicates that there have been 13 megaquakes over the past 6,000 years.

In contrast, the earthquake that struck northeast of Tofino on Jan. 8 was a magnitude 4.8, the largest onshore quake to have hit the region since 2000.

Johnston said there’s a big difference between onshore quakes like the one that struck near Tofino and the megaquakes that occur offshore, typically at the subduction zone.

“Usually the ones offshore are hugely more powerful. For example, the 1700 megaquake

was probably on the order of 35,000 times more powerful than that Tofino earthquake, so it’s an enormous difference in power.”

And it’s the offshore quakes that give rise to tsunamis, which are typically responsible for the greatest loss of life.

Johnston said the fault responsible for the 1700 quake lies about 100 kilometres west of Port Renfrew. “And that is the same fault that will rupture again and cause the next megaquake.”

The extent of the devastation caused by that megaquake remains unclear.

“There would be a huge tsunami and Port Alberni and all the other west coast towns would be at risk,” said Johnston. “I think

it’s obvious Tofino, much of it, would be inundated. Shaking is going to be a problem and old buildings that are not seismically upgraded – you can think of brick buildings in downtown Victoria that were built a long time ago – they would be liable to be heavily damaged.”

He said those living closer to the west coast will likely see more violent shaking but a lot of local issues will also come into play.

“If you’re built, and much of Victoria is built, on bedrock, then there won’t be such severe shaking. But if you’re built on recent sediments – think or regions around here where it’s very flat lying and muddy – those are lake beds that formed 10,000

years ago and they will shake like a bowl of jelly.”

But Johnston said a smaller quake like the one that struck Tofino can prove to be just as deadly as a megaquake.

“That’s the bigger concern, not the megaquake but something like the earthquake that took place near Tofino except maybe a little bit stronger than that.”

He pointed to the 6.3 magnitude quake that rocked Christchurch, New Zealand in 2011, resulting in 185 deaths.

“People die in magnitude 4 earthquakes and they don’t die because of the shaking, they die because a wall falls on them or something like that.”

Very few earthquakes have been centred around Victoria. Johnston recalls a magnitude 2 quake hitting Langford a year or two ago, “but it was so tiny that even people standing right on top of it couldn’t feel it.”

He said the Nisqually earthquake that struck south of Seattle in 2001 caused significant tremors felt in Victoria. The aftermath of that quake has left Victoria reasonably well prepared.

“We’ve had all of our public schools and a lot of the buildings at UVic and downtown seismically upgraded since then because we did have a good shake and it gave us a little taste of what might come.”

Johnston said Island residents would be well-advised to have a plan in place in the event of a large earthquake but admits that’s not something he’s put a lot of thought into.

“It’s something that you can’t get out of your mind but at the same time we’re all pretty happily living here and I’m not getting ready to move,” he said.

Family strengthens bond through literacyChristine van ReeuwykNews Staff

Levi inflects appropriate emotion, offering each ‘moo’ the tone requires to portray the tale in his book.

“Moo!” by David LaRochelle (Mike Wohnoutka illustrations) doesn’t have a lot of narrative. The word moo appears multiple times with varying punctuation and spelling as the cow steals the farmer’s car and crashes it – onto (yes onto, not into) a police cruiser.

Levi knows all the words and their circumstances, noting the “little moos” require a hushed tone as the sad cow trudges shamefully back to the farm.

“It’s pretty hilarious,” the three-year-old said, hinting at an impressive vocabulary then insisting, in true toddler form, that we sit for a spell and read.

It is, after all, a favoured pastime for Levi, his 18-month-old sister Emma, dad Lucky Budd and mom Jessy Friedenberg. The family visits the Oak Bay branch of the Greater Victoria Public Library regularly, selecting and devouring books as a family.

Budd is a writer, Friedenberg was raised in a TV-free home, so it may seem a no-brainer.

“[Levi] drives the train… books are what he’s all about,” Budd said. “We go through literally 20 or 30 books a week.”

A member of the summer reading club, he got a medal last summer for reading every day.

“We get as many as we can fit in our bag,” Friedenberg said. “Sometimes Levi goes in with a list.”

Among his favourite people, perhaps on the planet, are librarians, and leading that pack is Oak Bay library’s Devon Tatton.

“There are so many families that are really, really engaged in their child’s reading … families that come in multiple times a week or on a regular day of the week,” said Tatton, children and family literacy librarian. “We are our children’s first teacher, so modelling the behaviour of being engaged in reading … It’s all about making it fun and making it something that’s important to them and making it something they enjoy.”

Fun is part of the equation as the GVPL celebrates Family Literacy Week starting in Oak Bay with ABC Fun on Jan. 26 at 11:30 a.m. Young children and families will hear alphabet stories and create an alphabet collage book to encourage family reading time.

“I want children to enjoy reading because it’s something I enjoyed as a kid,” Tatton said. “You knew you were going to have that one-on-one time to sit down and read with mom or dad later.”

When Emma and Levi sit down with their parents for reading time, mom and dad have already had their say on what books come home.

“There are certain words we try to keep away from,” Friedenberg explained. The word ‘hate’ for example is easily left behind while subject matter too must befit a three-year-old.

“There’s a lot of books and we need to save some for later,” mom added.

The piles and piles of books they walk away with each visit are augmented each trip by just one video, and those too are carefully selected.

“We make a conscious effort to stay away from things we know we’re going to read later,” added Budd. Things like Winnie the Pooh and The Wizard of Oz are on the back burner, so Levi can develop the characters through his reading.

That level of interaction from the parents, and the abundance of books in the home on a regular basis, set

Levi and Emma up for a good future of literacy, says Dr. Orla Colgate, who has both a Masters (University of Auckland) and PhD (University of Sydney) in education. Her research area is parent involvement in education, specializing in literacy in the home.

“Parents can have a profound effect. In terms of reading at home and that development of their basic skills, but further than that, developing a love of reading,” Colgate said. “A child learns to read and then they read to learn. Once they’ve got that they can then move forward to do any kind of learning.”

Colgate will lead a workshop to wrap Family Literacy Week called Help Your Child Succeed at Reading on Jan. 29 at 7 p.m. It focuses on how children learn to read, how parents can assist and how to create a home environment that encourages learning.

“There’s so much more from reading, families reading together builds strong family relationships,” she said.

“Research shows parents get their kids to a stage where they can read, then they tend to back off and think the school, the teacher will take over from there. They can and should still be involved … they can inspire their kids. We start with them and we look up to them so they can have a very powerful influence.”

Levi’s love of reading – and Emma seems to share the literacy bug – started with story time at the library. It shouldn’t be a surprise then that he fills out the characters’ voices, and makes a drama of each book. His current favourite (bearing in mind the changeability of a

three-year-old mind) doesn’t even have words, but fills his brain with stories as the detailed images follow a year in the lives of characters.

He creates the story himself, often with a vocabulary impressive for his age. That too isn’t a surprise, Colgate says, it attests to his voracity for reading. Rare words, those not commonly used in spoken language but often appear in print, appear in books that don’t even have much text, such as children’s picture books and board books.

“Even children’s books are 50 per cent more likely to give you rare language than graduates’ conversation,” Colgate said. “The more you practise reading the more they build up vocabulary. As the child gets older they’re less focussed on

processing, and focus on the message … You build those skills through reading.”

Family Literacy Day is a national awareness initiative created by ABC Life Literacy Canada in 1999 and held annually on Jan. 27 to raise awareness of the importance of reading and engaging in other literacy-related activities as a family. The GVPL aims to inspire literacy, lifelong learning and community enrichment, providing services and collections in 10 libraries and online to more than 300,000 residents in 10 municipalities. Register for courses online at gvpl.ca or call 250-940-4875.

Oh, and if you want to know what happens to the cow when he gets back to the farm, head to the library, Tatton can probably help you.

Levi, 3, and dad Lucky Budd engage in some ‘reading’ time in their Victoria home. Despite the lack of words, the book engages both dad and son, offering lifetime learning skills.

By the bookn Levi is the stuff of legends among children’s librarians, says Budd, regaling with a tale. At the tender age of two (remember he’s only three now) Levi walked up to a downtown librarian.“He walked up and said ‘Hello my name is Humpty Dumpty. Do you have any books about me?’” The librarian played along, and they found some stories of Levi’s still-favourite book character.

CRD seeks input on sustainabilityThe Capital Regional

District hopes residents will peruse and offer opinions on the Draft Regional Sustainability Strategy.

The RSS is a vision for the region that will guide decisions affecting our communities to 2038, being developed collaboratively with affected local governments and other stakeholders. How we address population growth, climate change, housing, transportation, parks, food supply, natural resources, community and economic vitality are among the topics being considered.

“The sustainability strategy is a road map to the future. It will help local governments make decisions that support and enhance the quality of life we currently enjoy while taking care of the planet and our resources,” said Nils Jensen, CRD board chair and Oak Bay mayor. “We want to hear from the public if we’re heading in the right direction.”

An online feedback form is available until Feb. 15 and paper forms are available through the CRD. Participants can answer all or some of the questions and provide comments on any part of the draft strategy. Feedback will be summarized and

presented to the CRD board. To ensure transparency, a summary of survey results will be posted on the CRD website.

Visit www.crd.bc.ca/sustainability to connect to the survey.

Have your say on Island View park

The Capital Regional District seeks public input on updating the Island View Beach Regional Park Management Plan through public meetings in January and February. This first stage of a four-step planning process permits CRD staff to present and gather scientific information about the park’s natural environment.

“The purpose of stage one is to develop a common understanding of the natural environment found within Island View Beach Regional Park, and to add to the information base about the natural environment through public feedback,” said Mike Walton, senior manager of Regional Parks.

CRD Regional Parks will present scientific information and seek public knowledge on the natural history, coastal processes, ecosystems and habitats, and species of interest found

within the park.Meetings are Jan. 29 at the

Leonardo De Vinci Centre, 195 Bay St., from 6 to 9 p.m. and Feb. 5 at the Saanich Fairgrounds main hall, 1528 Stelly’s X Rd. in Saanichton from 6 to 9 p.m.

The CRD will then gather information about issues and interests from stakeholders, hold two community round table dialogue sessions and present a draft plan for feedback at public meetings.

BBB alerted to scamA number of Greater

Victoria businesses have been alerting the Better Business Bureau to a potential phone scam.

According to the Bureau’s Vancouver Island president and CEO Rosalind Scott, callers to businesses in Greater Victoria have identified themselves as representatives of the bureau and asked for information readily available through other public listings.

“I’m not sure what the intent of these calls are,” she

said. “My guess is there’s a double intent here. What on earth are they pretending to be us (for)? That to me sends up all kinds of red flags.”

Whether it’s a company trying to get around federal anti-spam email legislation, or trying to put together some kind of marketing campaign, using a legitimate organization’s name without permission doesn’t wash, Scott said.

While the calls on their own don’t appear to be illegal – the police have not been notified – the misrepresentation hinders legitimate research work being done on local businesses by the bureau in its consumer protection role, she said.

“Happily there are some very savvy people out there. The people who called us were aware that it was a scam.”

In a number of cases, Scott said, when business operators requested callers’ phone number to verify the credibility of the inquiry, the person hung up. “If anybody won’t give you callback information, don’t talk to them.”

For a list of tips to ward off such scams, visit bbb.org/Vancouver-island or call 250-386-6348.

Christine van ReeuwykNews Staff

While east and west communities gather to explore options for sewage treatment in the Capital Regional District, CRD staff will investigate market sounding and other possible measures to discover emerging technologies and best practices for wastewater treatment.

The board asked staff to report during the next meeting of the Core Area Liquid Waste Committee after Saanich Coun. Vic Derman presented the motion to the CRD board.

With the two groups investigating individualized solutions to sewage treatment, likely involving a number of solutions, Derman felt the CRD could play a positive role by undertaking a best practices sounding. It would involve a broad scan of the best technologies currently available as well as the best system designs applying those technologies.

“ln addition, a sounding should actively seek submissions from organizations, companies and individuals, large and small, who have shown particular knowledge, expertise and leadership in

leading-edge designs including distributed systems. A final report should be accompanied by an appendix containing unedited versions of all submissions received,” stated Derman’s motion.

The concept isn’t to incur the time and expense involved in a full request for proposal.

Coun. Colin Plant likened the seeking of updated information to his current iPhone 6-plus purchased for the same price as his iPhone 4, five years ago. It’s an “opportunity to relook at things … do an environmental scan to see what’s out there,” he said.

While the CRD board supported the request, Victoria Coun. Geoff Young voiced concerns.

“The motion is asking for work to be done by the wrong body. We’ve created our new subregional commissions. Some of the municipalities at least are looking at individual systems and it’s become apparent that siting decisions are going to have to be made by the municipalities,” Young said. “This motion should have been brought forward at the individual Eastside and Westside commissions.”

Others disagreed, citing

the CRD as the appropriate centralization of information that could be shared by the two geographic commissions.

“This is the appropriate place for information to come to,” said Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins. “We know so much more now about sewage and what is in it than we did years ago … The ultimate goal we want to have is that we neutralize those, the superbugs, the micro plastics, the microfibres … so we’re not going to affect the land, we’re not going to affect the water and not going to affect the air with our processes.”

North Saanich Mayor Alice Finall noted that while the Peninsula already has a plant in place, one discussion that has already affected the processes there is the consideration for use of biosolids. The CRD has previously vetoed biosolids use on land.

“We need an early decision on what are we going to do with these biosolids, because they just do keep piling up,” Finall said.

Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps agreed with Finall, adding: “We need to talk about integrated resource management.” [email protected]

VIEWPOINTPenny Sakamoto Group PublisherDan Ebenal Editor Oliver Sommer Advertising Director

The Oak Bay News is published every Wednesday and Friday by Black Press Ltd., 207A-2187 Oak Bay, B.C. V8R 1G1. Phone: 250-598-4123. Web: oakbaynews.com

When evaluating the mining industry one must dig a little deeper than the numbers of people employed and royalties paid to government. For example, Giant Mine in Yellowknife cost the Canadian public more than $900 million to clean up and Britannia Mine near Squamish cost B.C. taxpayers more than $50 million.

Not factored into these costs is the almost priceless value of the water, air, soil, plants, trees and wildlife that have been destroyed and compromised not to mention the revenues not realized from the eco-tourism that has been lost. Connect the dots and you need to include the medical costs of all those affected by the toxicity of such extraction operations as well.

It’s estimated that there are between 2,000 and 4,000 contaminated sites around B.C. – mainly old mines and the government can only address 10 sites each year.

Apparently, little has been learned because the B.C. Liberals have just given a five-year extension to Prosperity Mines’ plan to desecrate Fish Lake and the environment around it.

Deer cull not justifiedIn a recent news story in the

Victoria Times Colonist, the mayor states that some 30,000 deer have been killed by hunters in the

province and therefore he feels that he is justified by killing a mere 25 in Oak Bay.

How many of those 30,000 were caught in a trap, held for hours, often suffering physical and mental injury while awaiting to be brutally shot by an unproven, inhumane method?

The mayor’s whole platform about safety be it to humans, animals or vehicles is flawed and why he keeps beating that tune is baffling. Deer road death numbers in Oak Bay vary, with city hall inflating the numbers. Having a cull is the wrong reason for what is something highly blown out of reality primarily by him. A cull will put a black mark on Oak Bay.

Finally, from what I understand, the permit request was for up to 50 deer and according to the provincial veterinarian, the cull will be ongoing. The number 25 is just a starting point.

D.R. RobertsonOak Bay

Cull hurting Oak Bay’s nameThe proposed deer cull is wrong

and something being pushed by an obviously obsessed mayor.

If Saanich can live with many more deer incidents than Oak Bay why are we becoming the poster child for such a slaughter?

Mr Mayor, with all of your other commitments why not try running Oak Bay and let the deer situation go. Sadly from what I understand this is making Oak Bay a not so popular

place according to what is being written in social media. As a resident, I am ashamed of what mayor and council are doing and they should be ashamed as well.

R.G. LathamOak Bay

Numbers don’t add upIn a “Message from Mayor and

Council” on the Oak Bay website, the mayor states 40 deer died as a result of car collisions and other injury-related events in Oak Bay in 2013. These numbers are up from 23 deaths in 2012. Again, according to ICBC, there were only 10 motor vehicle accidents involving deer in Oak Bay in 2012.

Where did the number 23 come from? Why is the public being fed this misinformation?

Impossible to predictwhen disaster will strike

When people talk about things that go bump in the night people on B.C.’s west coast could be forgiven for their thoughts turning to earthquakes.

Few have escaped feeling the vibrations of a minor quake occurring nearby and we’ve all seen and heard of the large quakes causing devastation

in parts of California. And if the experts are to be believed, it’s only a matter of time before another megaquake rocks Vancouver Island.

In January 1700 a magnitude 8.7 quake struck off the west coast of Vancouver Island, wiping out entire First Nations villages and causing a tsunami that swept across the Pacific and deluged the coast of Japan.

Quakes of that magnitude are estimated to occur every 300 to 700 years, so the question in everyone’s mind is do we have centuries to prepare or are we already overdue.

Chances are none of us will witness a megaquake in our lifetime. And even if a major quake was imminent, there is little reason to panic. The western side of the Island is expected to bear the brunt of the devastation, and with much of Victoria situated on bedrock, it should escape some of the more severe shaking. Many of the buildings in and around Victoria have been seismically upgraded in the aftermath of a major quake that rocked the Seattle area in 2001.

But there is every reason to be prepared.In the event of an earthquake, the safest places

are beneath sturdy furniture or beside a solid inside wall. People are advised to avoid windows and to avoid heavy objects that could fall from ceilings or shelves. Those outside should stay in the open, away from trees, buildings and power lines. Drivers are advised to stop their car away from overpasses, bridges and power lines and to stay inside their vehicle.

Assembling a 72-hour emergency kit is not only a good idea in the event of an earthquake, but also could come in handy if the region is struck by severe storms or other emergencies. The kit should contain water, food and other essentials that would allow you to survive for three days until emergency responders arrive.

Taking the time to make a few preparations is well worth the effort. It could be the difference between life and death in the event a major earthquake does strike, and can offer peace of mind even if it doesn’t.

Taking the time to prepare for an emergency is well worth the effort

Good hearing, poor comprehension?The number of people who can hear well, but can’t understand what’s being said, is increasing. This is most evident in conversations and watching television. A newly-developed hearing chip is designed to restore speech comprehension without being noticeable in the ear.

A lot of people have poor comprehension, though they actually still hear well. It becomes noticeable in conversation, watching television and asking family to repeat what’s been said. A potential cause can be undetected loss in the high-frequency range. This means the sensory cells in the cochlea that hear high-range sounds are damaged as a result of circulatory disorders, diabetes, sudden hearing loss or workplace noise. Hearing loss in the high-frequency range makes speech sound muffled and unclear. The person with hearing loss mixes up, or can no longer hear, consonants like s, f, t, k, h and g. Speech comprehension is particularly impaired when there is background noise or when television programs have background music. The dilemma is that people with hearing loss in the high-frequency range do not

consider themselves to have a hearing problem. They can hear deep tones with no issue, and often put difficulty understanding speech down to unclear pronunciation. However, the time soon comes when problems with comprehension become annoying.

A new hearing chip has beendeveloped.

Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing chip that restores speech comprehension, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can test the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. First, a hearing test

Ginette van Wijngaarden, at Connect Hearing, advises people with hearing loss on the new hearing chip, together with her colleagues.

and speech comprehension analysis is done. Where inner-ear damage is present, a software program analyzes the difference relative to normal hearing. These values are then input into the new Venture hearing chip in the Audéo V, which precisely takes into account and balances the frequency range of the person being tested. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation.

Monterey welcomes generations of jazzChristine van ReeuwykNews Staff

A concert of cross-generational jazz will elate ears at the Monterey Recreation Centre as teens join their senior counterparts for WeJam on Jan. 31.

WeJam is a bit of a play on UJAM, Universal Jazz Advocates and Mentors Society, which has a group of 13- to 15-year-old jazz enthusiasts that meet at the Long and McQuade performance space in Victoria once a week.

Among them is Tracy Laramee’s son Sam, who has a healthy addiction to the program.

“They practise and perform and do gigs around town,” said Tracy. She got the idea last spring to create a concert alongside older musicians, after seeing the effect of the older music on older audiences.

“To see the seniors lit up by this classic old music, the old jazz standards, it just brings back things for them,” Tracy said.

The UJam kids, Monterey Concert Band and Monterey’s Lounge Lizards Nearly Toast are all set to perform – at times together.

“I’ve really been looking forward to this event because I think it’s really important that we learn from those who have already learned,” said Sam Laramee. “Every song we play is at least 50 years old. To play them with musicians who lived through that time period would be really interesting, to hear the different interpretations.

“I’m also looking forward to seeing what Louise Rose brings to the table,” he added.

The well-known Victoria singer and composer will work with the kids and Monterey musicians to meld pieces they’ll perform together.

“This is bringing younger people together with older players,” said Chuck Howard, a trumpet player in the concert band. “It’s bringing generations together.”

While closing a multi-generational gap, they will raise funds for ArtsReach, a program that provides children with free fine arts workshops in the classroom.

“We provide free fine arts workshops in dual arts, theatre dance and now films to schools. We hire professional artists to do these workshops,” said Maureen Weston, president of OCTA Collective Society board that oversees ArtsREACH. “It gives the kids and the teachers a

great opportunity to work with a professional.”The program draws support from members of Oak Bay

“who are passionate about arts education” through many functions such as the Colour Your Palate that tend to be labour intensive to organize.

“This collaboration with Monterey Centre … it’s a gift to us they are taking the lead,” Weston said.

WeJam, an evening of jazz is Jan. 31 from 5 to 9 p.m. at 1442 Monterey Ave. Tickets $20/$25 must be purchased in advance from reception and include a meal.

All that jazzn Monterey Concert Band can always use more musicians. While they’re in particular need of a tuba player, any musically inclined Monterey member is welcome to come out. Contact Ervin Braithwaite at 250-595-2794 for details.

Scam uses Revenue Canada nameOak Bay Police advise

to always be wary of any request for information such as social insurance or banking information, without being sure of legitimacy after a resident received a scam email last week.

On Jan. 15 a citizen told police he received an email claiming to be from Revenue Canada stating he had a refund coming. He provided his full name, date of birth and social insurance number, then received a second email asking for further information. The resident called Revenue Canada and learned the email was a fraud.

Link investigated in credit card fraud

Oak Bay Police continue to investigate after two men arrested on the West Shore match the description of suspects in an Oak Bay incident. On Jan. 13 police received a report about two men claiming to be from Vancouver who made $1,500 worth of gift card purchases at Starbucks in Oak Bay using prepaid credit cards, many

of which were declined. On Jan. 12, West Shore RCMP arrested two men from the Lower Mainland for fraud, having used this same system in Duncan and Langford.

Thieves strike outWhile would-be thieves

didn’t get in, Oak Bay Police responded to a report of an attempted break and enter at the MacLaurin Building at UVic on Jan. 12. The attempt was on the first floor of the building where musical instruments were kept. No property was taken.

Impaired drivers nabbed Roadside screenings

brought a couple of driving prohibitions and some tickets for drivers last week.

On Jan. 16 shortly after 11 p.m. Oak Bay Police conducting an impaired driving check stop on Beach Drive by Mount Joy Avenue

spotted a truck approaching quickly and almost failing to stop. Officers noted odours of liquor and marijuana on the novice driver with a class 7 licence and administered roadside screening tests. The 19-year-old driver was issued a 90-day roadside prohibition and his vehicle was impounded for 30 days. The man was also issued a ticket for driving with too many passengers in contravention of his licensing requirements as well as for speeding.

A few hours later at around 2:30 a.m. Oak Bay Police pulled over a vehicle on Oak Bay Avenue and a subsequent investigation revealed the 35-year-old Victoria male driver had been consuming alcohol. After a roadside screening test, the man was issued an immediate three-day driving prohibition and his vehicle was impounded for three days.

Safeguard vehicles Lock your cars while

you’re away is a refrain Oak Bay Police maintain. They received reports of four thefts

from unlocked cars on Jan. 12. Three were on Thorpe Place and the other on Lincoln Road. Small amounts of change were taken from three of the cars each and the fourth had $800 worth of various items stolen. Police continue to strongly encourage citizens to remove all items from the interior of vehicles and to lock your car when unoccupied.

Leaf blower stolenA thief got away with a

Husqvarna leaf blower after a break and enter to a Foul Bay Road shed on Jan. 13.

Oak Bay Police were called to the shed behind an apartment building after a male was observed by a resident lifting the shed door. The suspect grabbed a piece of equipment and left quickly, meeting up with a second male. The witness went to notify her husband and upon return, the two males were already gone. The leaf blower is a grey Husqvarna 145 BT. The lock to the shed had been cut. Police have no known suspects.

Hundreds court title at ClassicDan EbenalNews Staff

It’s been another classic start to the new year for Oak Bay, with hundreds making their way through Oak Bay Rec’s tennis bubble for the New Year’s Classic.

Ed Bakker, tennis co-ordinator with Recreation Oak Bay, said this year’s was the third biggest Classic to date, with 241 players in 31 separate events.

“I was beaming on the final Sunday. The only concern was the weather, and boy it was windy,” said Bakker.

“I was thinking back to previous years where the bubble had been blown down and I thought the only thing that could go wrong today is if we have a power outage or the bubble goes like Toto. Lucky, the tennis gods were shining on me and the weather held off enough to let me finish the tournament.”

He said the highlight of the tournament took place Sunday morning when No. 1 seed Johane Mui defeated No. 2 seed Heather Tasker-Brown in the Women’s 45 Singles.

“It was an epic three-set battle that took over three hours. It was a wonderful see-saw battle.”

Bakker said the other notable result was Austin Hoole making it to the final in both the Men’s 5.0 Singles and Men’s 5.0 Doubles. Hoole lost the singles final to Wesley Bertsch but claimed the doubles crown with partner Gerald Yung. Yung also topped the field in Mixed

Doubles with partner Hannah Sulz.

For many of those taking part in the New Year’s Classic the chance to just get out on the court was more important than the final standings.

“As long as you can see the ball and move a little bit, it’s a wonderful lifetime game,” said George Morfitt. “You get hand-eye co-ordination, you get to move and you get to meet new people.”

Morfitt, 78, has played in the Classic several times in the past but hasn’t taken part for the past few years.

“I’m just getting back to it now and I just love the game. I’ve played it since I was 11 years old,” said Morfitt, who started playing while Mackenzie King was prime minister.

Morfitt still plays tennis twice a week, and when asked if he’s getting better he lets out a laugh.

“It’s a relative thing. I’m not as good as I was but I’m still doing all right and I’m still happy.”

Morfitt finished third in the over-70 division and won the men’s 3.0 doubles title with partner Bill Code.

One of Morfitt’s opponents in the over-70 division was 72-year-old Roman Downarowicz.

“I love it,” said Downarowicz, who took the men’s doubles crown with partner Gerald Doyle. It was Downarowicz second Classic title, winning the doubles event in 2005.

He started playing tennis a quarter-century ago back in Poland, and still plays two or

three times a week.“Now I work on my technique

still. You always can improve yourself,” he said. “It’s simple but it’s really complicated. Every stroke, everything has to be right.”

Downarowicz said he usually plays with his wife, grinning as he admits she can usually get the better of him on the court.

“It’s something we can do anytime, sometimes just for a half an hour,” he said.

Shane Iadarola won the Men’s 35 Singles division while Bin Wu topped the field for Men’s 45 Singles. David Fairbotham and Tim Hopper took the Men’s 45 Doubles crown while Ruthanne Carroll and Jance Holloway won Women’s 45 Doubles. Robert Bettauer finished first in Men’s 55 Singles, with Darlene Dorman atop the Women’s 55 Singles division. The Men’s 65 Singles division was won by Roger Skillings, while Jean Martin took top spot in Women’s 65 Singles. Valeska Campbell and Toni Lee Kasprow were the Women’s 55 Doubles champions.

Tony Mears won the Men’s 70 Singles title, with Sybella Garvin winning Women’s 5.0 Singles, Tracy Antonacci and Rachelle McGregor winning Women’s 5.0 Doubles and Natalia Saavedra claiming the title for Women’s 4.0 Singles. Nick Lowe finished first in Men’s 4.0 Singles and Levent Batur was the Men’s 3.0 Singles champion. Ally Feng and May Leong took the crown for Women’s 4.0 Doubles, with Nancy Norris winning Women’s 3.0 Singles.

DrivewayCanada.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat

Detroit Auto Show: New wheels, big dollar price tagsDetroit, MI – The daddy of all auto shows isn’t offering much new for folks with lean budgets this year.But if you are in the market for trucks, super cars or green vehicles, then there’s plenty to feast your eyes upon at the North American International Auto Show. In recent years, new compact cars have been heavily featured but there was none of significance launched here during this year’s press preview days. Asian manufacturers tend to dominate that market segment and increasingly they choose to launch their new wares at other shows such as the now important Los Angeles extravaganza in November (of the preceding model year).But those whose work demands truck ownership will not be disappointed with new offerings populating the stands here. Traditionally, domestic manufac-turers have dominated the truck market but now the so-called import manufac-turers (most of whom now operate full production lines and design centres here in Canada and the U.S.) are mounting a serious challenge.The introduction of the Nissan Titan at the turn of the century caused some rip-ples in the full-size truck market but the 2016 Nissan Titan XD could make some more substantial waves. It takes its design lead from the Big Guys, with a bold and bulky design because that’s what consumers want. Nis-san doesn’t threaten to be number one in performance and fuel economy because it believes you can’t have it both ways. Arguing that excelling in one often comes at a cost to the other. Listening to its existing owners and new customers, it determined being “up there” in both areas will check more consumer boxes.

The fully equipped XD promises a towing capability of more than 12,000 pounds, and payload capacity of 2,000 pounds with the fuel-efficiency of a half-ton pickup. Looking forward to later this year when we can put our truck expert Ian Harwood into a production

version of the Cummins 5.0-litre V8 Turbo Diesel Crew Cab example on show here. No prices yet or news of a rollout for the rest of the new Titan range.Our Zack Spencer shares his thoughts on another truck grabbing some limelight at the show: “the Detroit-three automakers might have the lion’s share of full size pickup sales but it’s the Toyota Tacoma mid-size pickup that rules the road, out-selling the competition two-to-one.“Toyota is offering a heavily updated Tacoma with a new 3.5L V6, replacing the old 4.0L V6, and choice of either a 6-speed manual or automatic transmis-sion. The engine features direct injection technology and should vastly improve fuel economy. These and other updates should ensure the latest Tacoma remains dominant.”Hybrid and electric powered-vehicles are no longer a novelty feature here and

now an increasing share of the floor space. Virtually every manufacturer has a production model to sell or a promise of more for the near future.The second generation Chevrolet Volt looks nearly as sharp as the artist’s impression of the first model, which didn’t live up to its promised looks when it rolled off the production line. More importantly, the new version delivers much more in fuel economy Alexandra Straub reports on its compact sibling: “For the EV enthusiast or those looking for alternative fuel,

Chevrolet expands its electrifying portfolio with the Bolt EV Concept. With a range of more than 300 kilometres, this all-electric stylish crossover is aimed for the masses, not just the select few.“While it’s still a concept, pricing for this type of vehicle will be in the $30,000 range. Not cheap, but certainly attainable. It even allows you to use a smartphone to perform as the key fob.”Acura is showing off the return of its simply beautiful NSX sports car to the market. The Porsche-loving Jerry Seinfeld was flown in to add some celebrity power but there was no — because this $150,000-plus super car speaks loudly for itself.It will be powered by a new Honda V6 mated to a nine-speed dual clutch transmission, assisted greatly by three electric motors — one for each of the front wheels and another to add torque while the turbos get up to speed. Interesting that Honda should be getting back into F1 racing; now it features hybrid power plants!Ford is teasing showgoers with a stunning new 600-horsepower Ford GT, which will more than likely have a price sticker similar to that of the NSX.The Infiniti Q60 concept’s premiere appearance was somewhat overshadowed by the aforementioned machines in the media here. However, Alfonso Albaisa, the Infiniti executive director of design, delivered a passionate description of the high-performance sports coupe that will come to market within the next year, with a price tag somewhat lower than the Ford and Acura products.View our team’s Detroit gallery and complete show reports online at drivewaybc.ca

BLACK PRESS GREATER VICTORIA- Friday, January 23, 2015 Driveway • BPB

By Ian Harwood

Pack everything into the Honda Pilot and there is still surprisingly enough room for eight people.

LooksThe vehicle was re-designed in 2009 yet it still fits today’s market and has a unique style to it. It rally resembles no other competitor which is more than can be said of many in this market segment,

In The CabThere is plenty of room in this eight-passenger sport ute. The second row has an extra 25 millimetres, the third has 50 millimetres and there’s a slight an increase to the cargo area. The 60/40 second row and third row bench seats fold flat to give a good surface to transport larger items. Another added improvement is the rear glass that can be opened independently from the hatch. If you go for the EX-L RES or Touring edition there is a power lift gate. A 229-watt audio system with seven speakers and a subwoofer is available on the LX, SE and EX-L RES model while the Touring comes with a 650-watt, AM/FM/CD Premium

audio system with MP3/Windows media and 10 speakers including a 5.1 surround sound theater mode, also a 15 GB hard drive (HDD) audio storage. There is an available Honda DVD rear en-tertainment system with 9-inch display. An available Honda satellite-linked navigation system

with trilingual voice recognition that responds to over 800 verbal commands, as I do at home.

Safety firstThe 2015 Pilot’s standard safety equipment includes Vehicle Stability Assist, commonly known as electronic stability control with traction control and ABS. There are three-row side curtain airbags with roll over sensor; dual stage front air bags, a driver’s front side air bag, and a passenger’s front side air bag with occupant position detection system. There is also hill start assist on all models. The VTM-4 system directs power to the front

differential when extra traction is not required, helping with the fuel economy, when more traction is required, the system engages the rear differential.

RoadworthyI had the opportunity to take the SE 4WD along some logging roads in Squamish. It was in-credibly smooth as it glided over potholes and dodged ditches. Although they were not rough roads it is certainly nice to know that you could take your family camping knowing you can travel to most locations without experi-encing problems because you left the pavement. The Pilot has variable cylinder management (VCM), which shuts down two or three cylinders when not required. The five speed automatic transmission runs smoothly and very quietly when shifting. When the green ECO light comes on, I noticed the transmission was a little noisier as the engine decreased the number of cylinders in operation. The Pilot has a tow rating of 2045 kg (4500 lb).VerdictThe 2015 Honda Pilot is a reli-able/spacious SUV and is a real joy to [email protected]

PowerThe 3.5 litre, 24 valve, SOHC i-VTEC V6 engine delivers 250 hp and 253 ft lbs of torque with variable cylinder management (VCM).

Pump frequency:13.1 L/9.1 L/100 km (city/high-way)

Detroit, MI – There’s a buzz in motor city because the car industry has roared back in the US and 2014 was another record year in Canada.

Ford GTThere is no question the Ford GT supercar stole the show at the media preview in Detroit. The mid-engine heart powering this carbon fibre and aluminum 2-door beauty is a new twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 with over 600hp. What really stunned the crowd was the fact Ford has already committed to building the GT, it will be for sale late in 2016. The car displayed is essentially

a production model, not a far-reaching concept car. The carbon fibre passenger

cell and bodywork, along with alumi-num suspension components will help return one of the best power to weight rations in the business. The best part is

the design that looks fast standing still, thanks to a teardrop shape and aggressive aerodynamics and functional wings and spoilers. Ford is using the GT as a technology test to help implement features like carbon fibre in all new Ford models to come.

Audi Q7Since we love SUVs in North America, it was logical for Audi have the world debut of the three-row Q7 SUV in Detroit. This all-new model is slightly smaller than the outgoing model but it actually offers more interior space for passengers and cargo. The design also makes the Q7 look much less imposing. The biggest news is the re-

Boom, boom buzz at the big Detroit auto show

‘‘The VW Golf won car of the year, following on the heels of World Car of the Year and Motor trend Car of the Year awards, and the Golf is a finalist for the Canadian Car of the Year.’’

Pic of the Week

Subaru’s bright yellow specialSubaru will introduce a 2015 XV Crosstrek Special Edition this spring, limited to just 1,000 models.Based from the 2.0i Premium trim, the Special Edition adds STARLINK™ Multimedia six-speaker audio system with a 7-inch touch screen display offering multi-touch control that offers swipe and scrolling gesture control. Additional features include a power moonroof, exclusive sunrise yellow exterior with body color foldable mirrors with integrated turn signals along with blackened headlight bezels. As standard, the Special Edition offers Keyless Access with Push-Button Start as well as Pin Code Access, leather-wrapped shift lever handle and steering [email protected]

duction in weight; this new Q7 is 325kg lighter than the older model, which is a whopping number, making it roughly 26 percent more efficient. Shortly after the Q7 arrives at dealerships a plug-in diesel hybrid model will be introduced that can deliver the equivalent of 1.7L/100km. Styling is much more sophisticated and the interior has the all-new dash and MMI system that was first introduced in the soon to arrive Audi TT.

Lexus GS FAnother trend at the Detroit show was the introduction or very powerful cars. Lexus introduced the latest “F” performance model called the GS F. Based on the GS mid-sized luxury sedan, the GS F takes things to a much more aggressive level, with a 467hp 5.0L V8 engine pushing all that power through an 8-speed automatic to the rear wheels. Lexus hopes this 1830kg sedan will be lean enough and powerful enough to attract buyers of cars like the BMW M5. With standard 19-inch wheels framing orange Brembo

brake calipers and featuring a Torque Vectoring Differ-ential, Lexus thinks this Nurburgring tuned sedan is a more than enough to take on the German dominant brands. Styling is dramatic and functional with a lower and wider stance than the regular model.

Volkswagen GolfThe Detroit show always starts with the announce-ment of the North American Car of the Year. This year the VW Golf won, following on the heels of World Car of the Year and Motor trend Car of the Year awards, and the Golf is a finalist for the Canadian Car of the Year. The Golf is turning heads because of the very refined driving dynamics, class-above interior and powerful and efficient engine choic-es. The price will also win over buyers, thanks to the production coming out of Mexico; the starting price is $18,995. The Golf features a new 1.8L direct injection and turbocharged 4-cylin-der engine, an optional TDI diesel or the more powerful GTI and Golf R models. The Golf is on sale now.

2015 Toyota TacomaThe Detroit-three automak-ers might have the lion’s share of full size pickup sales but it’s the Toyota Ta-coma mid-size pickup that rules the road, outselling the competition two-to-one. Announced at the Detroit show is a heavily updated Tacoma with a new 3.5L V6, replacing the old 4.0L V6, plus either a 6-speed man-ual or automatic transmis-sion. The engine features direct injection technology and should vastly improve fuel economy. The chassis has been strengthened and the interior updated to today’s standards. The tailgate now has a locking feature and a soft open for easier use, plus the optional cargo bed cover can be secured as well. Also shown was the TRD off-road version, which is a big seller for Toyota and for 2015 it has a crawl feature to aid in off-road adventures, plus a go-pro camera mount to capture all the action. With these updated the latest Tacoma is sure to remain dominant.

ACTIVE RESIDENTIAL LISTINGS/ TOTAL, JANUARY 2014

AS OF JAN. 19/15 COURTESY VICTORIA REAL ESTATE BOARD

VICTORIA REAL ESTATE BOARD| See local real estate statistics at VREB.org

Travis Paterson Black Press

January marks the swear-ing in of the Victoria Real Estate Board’s new board of directors.

Arriving are president-elect Wendy Moreton, with secretary treasurer Ara Balabanian, past-president Tim Ayres, Kyle Kerr, Mike Nugent, Marijane Smith, Tony Wick and Cheryl Wool-ley.

Black Press spoke with current president Guy Cro-zier on the state of the indus-try.

Q: How long have you been selling in Greater Victo-ria and what makes it special for you?

A: I’ve been selling real estate for 23 years now – in the Victoria area for my entire career. I’m a fifth gen-eration Victorian, so just getting to know that many more fellow Victorians over the course of all the transac-tions I’ve been a part of has been special.

Real estate is the perfect career for me. It lets me leverage my background of management in the service industry and build my own business the way I choose. When you look at the indus-try, realtors are one of the last bastions of entrepre-

neurs, we are each small businesses who invest in our own technology, products, marketing and so on. Every realtor out there builds their own brand and makes their own way.

I enjoy that level of respon-sibility for my business and control over my work. I feel very lucky to get to do what I do every day.

Q: What are your back-ground strengths?

A: I think I have the right kind of work ethic to be an entrepreneur – I’m competi-tive, like to build relation-ships and hard work doesn’t scare me. When I was new to the business I came in with a lot of ambition, which drove me through the tough times when you wonder if you’ll make it to the next month.

I also feel my experi-ence in the service indus-try served me well – no pun intended.

I spent nearly a decade on the management track at a global restaurant chain and I learned so much there that has helped me do my work now. Not just around the value of good customer service, but how to balance the books, manage time, all those skills came from my training in the service indus-try.

Q: Why take on this role?A: The more time I spend

as a realtor, the more I value organized real estate, of which VREB is an integral part. I’ve volunteered on board committees for more than 15 years, and it seemed like the natural progression

to commit five or six years to be on the board of direc-tors after my experience in committees. I felt ready. And my peers did as well, with their support I was voted in as a director and later to the post of president. It’s been an honour.

Q: The traditional process of real estate agents selling homes has been challenged in recent years, do you anticipate any more trends to affect the industry?

A: I think the changing trends have made realtors more important than ever. Twenty or 30 years ago tech-nology wasn’t a factor when purchasing or selling prop-erty, and there were only one or two ways to market a home.

Negotiations were simpler. Now, technology changes faster than home values and mortgage rates.

There are endless ways to market a property, sales are complex and there are more

potential liabilities than before. Historically realtors were keepers of informa-tion. Now that information is readily available online, and realtors have become the experts in how to use and interpret information, cre-ate the marketing strategy, navigate the complex paper-work, etc.

Now, more than ever, you need a professional in a property transaction.

Q: Does the VREB have any new projects in mind?

A: Projects we undertake are focused on helping our (1,200 Victoria region real-tors) do their job better. For example, our board launched an online StrataDocs service that helps connect users with strata paperwork and information required when doing due diligence in selling and buying strata units, and that’s a Victoria-born initia-tive that is now being used across the country at many different real estate boards.

One of our current proj-ects is the strata lockbox program, which provides safe and secure places for realtors to place keys for multi-unit buildings. We have also just rolled out a complex mandatory educa-tion component through our provincial organization. We manage content and deliv-ery at the local level.

Moving forward, the board will continue to look for ways to support mem-bers – that might be in the form of new technology or physical products that help streamline work and keep property safe.

Women more at risk for Alzheimer’sNearly three-quarters

of Canadians living with Alzheimer’s disease are women. It’s an eye-opening statistic, but it’s not news to the many Oak Bay families whose lives have been altered by dementia, many of whom will participate at the Investors Group Walk for Memories this Sunday.

“Women represent 72 per cent of Canadians living with Alzheimer’s disease,” said Meriel Randerson, the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s support and education co-ordinator for Greater Victoria.

“They could be your mothers, wives, sisters, grandmothers or friends.”

That’s why the society’s annual Alzheimer Awareness Month campaign in January has adopted the theme The 72%. It aims to inform women in their 40s and older about the warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, brain health and how the programs and services of the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. can help. More women than men are living with Alzheimer’s disease because they live longer and age is a significant risk factor, Randerson says. The risk of dementia doubles every five years after age 65.

Women also account for 70 per cent of family caregivers.

“The disease takes a tremendous toll on these

women who eventually provide round-the-clock care. The burden is especially high for women raising families and holding down jobs,” said Randerson.

Though women are disproportionately affected, she points out “Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias affect everyone.”

So what can Oak Bay residents do? “Get walking,” she says.

Residents can take a meaningful stroll on Sunday when the annual Investors Group Walk for Memories comes to Victoria, to raise funds for research and programs for the more than 70,000 people in B.C. who face dementia.

“This fun-filled event is a great way to support families in our community who are impacted by Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias,” said Randerson. “Funds raised help ensure people with dementia and their caregivers have access to information, support services and education. They also bring us one step closer to finding a cure.”

Participants can still register to participate in the Walk for Memories, which starts at 10 a.m. To register or donate, visit www.walkformemories.com. Registration will also take place at 9 a.m. on Jan. 25 before the walk at Robert Bateman Centre, 470 Belleville St.

10 warning signs for Alzheimer’sn Memory loss that affects day-to-day abilities – Forgetting things often or struggling to retain new information.n Difficulty performing familiar tasks – Forgetting how to do something you’ve been doing your whole life, such as preparing a meal or getting dressed.n Problems with language – Forgetting words or substituting words that don’t fit the context.n Disorientation in time and space – Not knowing what day of the week it is or getting lost in a familiar place.n Impaired judgment – Not recognizing a medical problem that needs attention or wearing light clothing on a cold day.n Problems with abstract thinking – Having difficulty balancing a chequebook, for example, or not understanding what numbers are and how they are used.n Misplacing things - Putting things in strange places, like a dress in the refrigerator or a wristwatch in the sugar bowl.n Changes in mood and behaviour – Exhibiting severe mood swings from being easy-going to quick-tempered.n Changes in personality – Behaving out of character, such as becoming confused, suspicious or fearful.n Loss of initiative – Losing interest in friends, family and favourite activities.Provided by the Alzheimer Society of B.C.

A paper route is about so much more than money. These days kids want and need so many things. With a paper route they not only earn the money to buy those things, they also gain a

new respect for themselves. They discover a new sense of confi dence, power and control by having their very own job, making their own

money and paying for their own games, phones and time with friends.

All it takes is an hour or so after school Wednesday and Friday.And even better... there are no collections required.

Give them power.Give them confidenceGive them control.
