A Victoria medical imaging clinic is changing its fax number and notify-ing doctors of privacy rules after a Victoria man received hundreds of private medical imaging requests to his home fax machine in error.
After the News exclusively told David Mason's story last week, the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner followed up with both Mason and the intended receiving clinic, whose fax number differed from Mason's by one digit.
“The clinic has decided to change its fax number,” said Cara McGregor, privacy commissioner spokesper-son.
The new fax number, along with privacy guidelines for faxing and emailing personal information, is being distributed by the clinic to all relevant physician offices, McGregor said.
The medical imaging clinic, CML Healthcare Inc., did not respond to a request for comment.
Vancouver-based West Coast Med-ical Imaging, which purchased CML clinics from an Ontario-based com-pany in February, was unavailable for comment.
Mason received more than 200 medical imaging requests to his home fax machine since 2005, thanks to misdials from sending physicians. After his story went public, Mason removed his fax machine for good.

When most eight-year-old Scottish boys were fixated on soccer, Logan McMenamie was pondering God.
So it’s not much of a stretch to learn that McMenamie, 63, became the 13th bishop of the Anglican Diocese of B.C. earlier this month.
But that’s just part of the story.How does a boy who grew up in the presbyterian-based
Congregational Church of Scotland end up the spiritual leader for thousands of Anglicans from Victoria to Kingcome Inlet?
“For me it was a surprise that I ended up in an Anglican church,” McMenamie says from his synod office at Christ Church Cathedral in Victoria.
“While I was in (theological) school I never thought I’d be bishop. I never committed to that idea.”
Those around him thought otherwise.McMenamie says his father saw him as quite spiritual in nature
from an early age. His only question now is why his son became an Anglican.
Rev. Canon Sue House, an associate priest at Christ Church Cathedral, says McMenamie always possessed the qualities of a good bishop.
“I think the world of Logan,” says House, who has known and worked with McMenamie for almost 30 years on Vancouver Island. “He’ll make an amazing bishop.”

Papers ramp up recycle fee battle
Supporters of Sundance elementary are host-ing a community gathering in an effort to save the school from closure.
Greater Victoria school board trustees are slated to vote on whether to keep the school open at a meeting next Thursday (March 27).
The community gathering is set for Tuesday (March 25) from 3 to 4:30 p.m. at the school, located at 1625 Bank St. The event will feature music, barbecue, displays of student art and school projects as well as school registration and program information.
There is also an an online petition at Face-book.com/SaveSundance.
“This is a great opportunity for people to come together as a community and celebrate what Sundance means to our students, our parents and our neighbors,” says Sundance spokesperson John Balogh
“We hope people will come out to the school both as a show of support for our school and to find out more about what makes Sundance special.”
Sundance elementary is one of three Schools
of Choice in School District 61 where children living anywhere in the district can attend.
Greater Victoria school district is facing a budget shortfall. This is due to the impact of enrolment decline and unfunded cost pres-sures, say district officials. Between 2008 and 2013, the school district, lost 542 students. The enrolment is forcast to decline by 97 students over the next two years.
Sundance elementary has 85 students attend-ing classes.

Imminent changes to B.C. recy-cling rules could financially cripple local newspapers, says the presi-dent of the B.C. Yukon Community Newspaper Association.
Front-end recycling fees will soon be applied to businesses that produce packaging and printed paper, a move that will cost news-papers $6 million across the prov-ince, said Hugh Nicholson, B.C. Yukon Community Newspaper Association director.
“Newspapers are kind of the unique product in all this,” said Nicholson, a Nanaimo-based pub-lisher with Glacier Media. “We’re not packaging, like Styrofoam or plastics … and we shouldn’t be lumped in with packaging compa-nies.”
On May 19, industrial steward-ship group Multi Material B.C. will assume responsibility for curb side blue box collection in Greater Victoria and 1.25 million B.C. households.
MMBC is requesting 20 cents per kilogram to recycle newsprint, while similar services in Ontario cost less than one cent per kilo-gram.
MMBC managing director Allen Langdon said the fees fully finance the program and ensure service for multi-family apartments and rural depots, in contrast to Ontar-io’s more limited focus on single-family homes.
He said B.C.’s successful con-tainer deposit system also means there’s less recyclable material left here for container stewards to col-lect and sell, so fees have to be higher to cover the system costs.
Newspaper owners can opt out
of the program, but must then develop their own recycling mea-sures. So far, newspapers have chosen the latter option while lob-bying the province to re-examine the changes.
“We’re talking to some potential partners right now, but we’re opti-mistic the government will listen not only to ourselves, but to many businesses and municipalities. There’s a lot of fear about what will happen to recycling,” Nichol-son said.
Recycling fees would cost Gla-cier “hundreds of thousands of dol-lars” annually on Vancouver Island alone, he added, and requests to sit down with provincial ministers have so far gone unmet.
Victoria resident John Hungar,
a retired newspaper circulation manager, said he’s worried about any additional financial pressure on newspapers.
Hungar pointed to the Janu-ary closure of the Kamloops Daily News as the beginning of a trend if the province doesn’t allow news-papers an exemption from recy-cling fees.
“People my age in particular like to read the paper,” Hungar said. “There are some on the verge of closing and I fear these fees could be a strikeout.”
Most newspapers in B.C. are owned by Glacier, Black Press (which owns the Victoria News) and Postmedia, although inde-pendent papers still exist and would likely be hit hardest by the
changes, Nicholson said.The Canadian Community
Newspaper Association, the Cana-dian Federation of Independent Businesses and several other orga-nizations are now ramping up a campaign, rethinkitbc.ca, to con-vince the province to reconsider its recycling regulations.
“B.C. has one of the best recy-cling plans in the country,” Nich-olson said.
“It appears to be working very well, now government has decided for whatever reason to turn this over to private industry with very little information about where our recycling will end up. But we think this is a solution looking for a problem.”
Victoria resident John Hungar fears a proposed recycling fee on newspapers could cause irreparable damage to the struggling industry.

“He has a very incredible ability to listen and take what he’s heard and bring it to fruition. He's honest, hopeful and faithful. He's very creative.”
•••McMenamie grew up in
Greenock, Scotland, outside of Glasgow.
His hometown was known for its shipbuilding industry and ports. At age 15, like most, he left school to work in the shipyards. From the shipyards he went into other industries and ended up in the engineering field.
He met his wife Marcia, a Victoria resident, in Scotland. The pair moved to Canada as a young couple, first to Vancouver, then Port Alberni.
“When I came to Canada, I was not going to church,” McMenamie says.
He returned to church after his wife started attending an Anglican parish in Port Alberni. Friends and colleagues he knew attended the same church. And that's where many things began to fall into place.
Once inside the church walls, it wasn't long before McMenamie was teaching Sunday school and becoming a youth leader. Soon afterwards he pondered the idea of entering the ministry.
“It wasn't a road to Damascus type of feeling,” McMenamie says. “It wasn't like I saw the light. I had a good (Christian) foundation from my early life."
McMenamie's religious foundation was built years earlier in Scotland. It was the
encouragement of family, friends and clergy that compelled him to go to theological school in Vancouver.
He was ordained at age 37.McMenamie served as pastor
in Port Hardy, Ucluelet, Duncan and Nanaimo before becoming rector and dean of Christ Church Cathedral in Victoria seven years ago.
As bishop, McMenamie will lead a diocese that has 43 churches, and serves more than 8,000 Anglican parishioners.
McMenamie says his role won't just be administrative.
“The role of the bishop is that of shepherd,” he says. “A bishop must always be a pastor to his people.”
He expects to travel to churches throughout the diocese, attending special events and forging ahead with new ideas to help the church grow.
In recent years, the diocese has been forced to close 11 parishes and to reallocate resources. It was an idea first mulled by the Anglican church in 1968 but it was the “courageous leadership” of McMenamie's predecessor, Bishop James Cowan, that made it happen and ultimately the church grew stronger.
“It was difficult and painful,” McMenamie recalls.
“Once you start closing down parishes then you are closing places where people have had their children baptized, got married, buried their loved ones. People have now come to terms with that.”
The church now is going through, as McMenamie sees it,
a resurrection.Special teams have been
formed to look at reshaping the vision of diocese over the next three to five years.
And there's work to do externally, too.
McMenamie believes the church needs to be out in the community more, engaged in societal issues.
“We have something to say as Anglicans, as Christians, in relationship to why there is poverty, why there is homelessness, why there (are) people facing addictions and mental issues. I'm hoping we get involved in all those conversations within the city.”
And while growing the church is a priority, McMenamie says, it's not the only priority.
“We've tried a lot at drawing people into the church. We tried to do it with being clever with our worship. We've tried a lot of different ways. Most folk in our culture today don't respond to the institution. They think Jesus is pretty cool, but they don't want to belong to the church.”
McMenamie says if the church is out doing the work it's called to do by Jesus, then people will want to join the church.
“People want ritual in their life. People want a connection with God. They don't want an argument about God. They want to experience God. I've always tried, for those seeking a spiritual life … to give them that experience of God.”
McMenamie and his wife Marcia have seven adult children and seven grandchildren.
Church needs to reach out to community, says bishop

Rethink recyclingprogram
The provincial push for a producer-pay recycling system is based on the concept of charging manufacturers whose products contribute to the waste stream, such as plastic packaging.
But the soon to become government-mandated program is going to penalize some unfairly, including citizens.
For instance, it will hit the newspaper industry with a 20 cent per kilogram cost for its “packaging” – the very paper the newspapers are printed on.
That vested interest aside, it’s debatable whether the new system will achieve its environmental goals, while simultaneously driving up costs for consumers.
Although the MMBC collection system may have benefits for communities that currently do not have adequate curbside recycling programs, it is not needed in Greater Victoria, where the city has been achieving high rates of waste diversion through its own recycling collection.
Maintaining Victoria’s current program is good for the environment, and residents who receive curbside pickup of glass containers and other recyclables that MMBC wants separated.
Local consumers will effectively pay the cost of recycling twice, as producers build the price of the MMBC program into their products, and taxpayers foot the bill for curbside pickup.
Though MMBC recently provided exemptions for small businesses, the program will negatively impact local economic engines such as berry farming, where consumer preference drives the use of plastic clamshell containers for retail sales – dumping the cost onto farmers, and ultimately, customers.
This is a program that needs to be put on hold and reconsidered in its entirety.

Re: Politics is not entertainment (Opinion, March 14)
In his novel Seeing, the 1998 win-ner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, Jose Saramago, proposes an inter-esting option for voter apathy and rebellion: voting in mass, but in blank.
Voter apathy reflects the dis-connection existing between the electorate and a political system based on narrow partisan loyalties, personalities, popcorn-and-fluff, showbiz, glitz, and plenty of money whereby differences among par-ties are mostly cosmetic. The elites donate to all political parties indis-tinctly because none of the par-ties represents a serious threat of change to the status quo.
Voters have freely elected Brian Mulroney, Jean Chretien, Rob Ford, Bill Vander Zalm and others who have taken us to wars of aggression, removed social safety nets, priva-tized our infrastructure, destroyed our national industry, created homelessness, closed hospitals and made soup kitchens necessary.
In free societies, such as Canada, controlling people by open violence is not necessary when other ideo-logical means are available that are far more subtle and successful than a bayonet or a club.
A population immersed in asinine subjects such TV shows, mind-less sports, gossip journalism and sensationalist crime stories cannot
possibly be expected to be dis-cerning and alert when it comes to identifying the differences between competing political and class inter-ests, including their own interest. Any political system that can form a federal “majority” government with 39 per cent of the votes in elections where 40 per cent of the people did not vote is a system that lacks legiti-macy and can only exist by using deceit, manipulation and money.
Voting is not the problem: lack of imagination, political education and civic culture is.
Carlos Flores Victoria
Local governance key for taxpayers’ budgets
Of all the levels of government that we are affected by in Canada, the municipal level is by far the one that impacts our lives the most: more than the Capital Regional Dis-trict and the provincial and federal
governments. Our property taxes are often the biggest bill that prop-erty owners have to pay.
Renters’ rents are affected by property taxes and so renters should be very concerned by city/municipal governance. The City of Victoria’s property taxes have risen by about 27 per cent in the last five years (as it happens, the cur-rent mayor’s term of office) which is more than double our inflation rate. With such an impact on our lives, the younger generations would be wise to pay attention to our closest democratic representa-tives which are Victoria’s mayor and council.
I applaud Lisa Helps for making the effort to recruit the younger generations to come and vote in our November municipal election as that is the way to make our city more affordable, sustainable and livable.

NDP MLA John Hor-gan is crediting his con-
stituents for changing his mind and convinc-ing him to seek leader-ship of the provincial party.
His announcement, made Monday in his Juan de Fuca constitu-ency, is an about-turn from the MLA’s Octo-ber 2013 decision not to run. He said at the time he wanted to “get out of the way of our younger members.”
“ I ’ v e b e e n approached consis-tently, almost daily, to re-consider my deci-sion,” Horgan told the News.
“I’m seeing a broad consensus emerging that what we need is strong leadership to
take on the Liberals in 2017, and I believe, and many, many others believe, that I fit that bill.”
His intention to set the stage for younger politicians has not been fruitful, he said.
“I felt that if I was out of the picture that would give them more comfort. The young people that I had hoped to step up are encourag-ing me to step up.”
A focus on the envi-ronment and industrial development will be the keystone of Hor-
gan’s campaign. He describes himself as a longtime NDP diehard who believes in the importance of commu-nity, public services and ensuring access for all to the “prosperity of B.C.”
“I believe I can take those values and encourage people to not just vote for the NDP, but to be excited about voting for the NDP,” he said.
Reflecting on the NDP’s surprising defeat in the 2013 election, Horgan said the party
needs to listen to voters and make sure it is rel-evant to British Colum-bians.
He was joined at the announcement by for-mer party leader Vic-toria-Beacon Hill MLA
Carole James, along with Maurine Kara-gianis, MLA for Esqui-malt-Royal Roads, and Cowichan Valley MLA Bill Routly.
Horgan plans to unveil more NDP MLAs as members of his team over the coming week.
He finished third in the 2011 leadership race behind Mike Farnworth and winner Adrian Dix. So far, Farnworth has announed his candi-dacy for the leadership run. A leader will be picked on Sept. [email protected]

Amalgamation doesn’t appear to be on the minds of many politicians outside Victoria.
So far, only Victoria has committed to includ-ing a non-binding question – asking residents if they are in favour of reducing the number of municipalities in the region – at polls this Novem-ber.
“The biggest issue I see from politicians is, ‘My phone didn’t ring this week, so why is this an issue?’ And that’s part of the problem,” said John Vickers, spokesperson for Amalagamation Yes, a citizens lobby group. “Generally, people say this is a no-brainer. It’s just trying to transpose that into the eyes of some of the politicians.”
A ‘yes’ vote would trigger provincially funded studies to determine the feasibility, benefits and costs of various models of integration, and would not trigger amalgamation.
So far, North Saanich, Central Saanich and Oak Bay have chosen not to include an amalgamation question.
Colwood committed to the idea last July, but that motion could be scrapped if public interest isn’t there, said Mayor Carol Hamilton.
“We’re cautious about budget implications … but we want to ensure that if this is the direc-tion the general populous wants to start taking things, then how do we get there,” Hamilton said.
A callout to Colwood residents interested in taking part in forming an amalgamation bal-lot question came back with fewer than five responses, she added.
Those sentiments seem to be permeating from
most West Shore municipalities.Langford Coun. Lanny Seaton said he hasn’t
heard from residents that amalgamation is a “burning issue” so far.
“I can’t speak for the rest of council, but I don’t think anybody’s even considered it,” Seaton said. “Why would we vote to look at paying more taxes?”
Metchosin Mayor John Ranns said a lack of public interest means the district likely won’t ask residents to weigh in on the issue.
“I do believe that amalgamation done right can have positive benefits,” Ranns said. “But amalga-mation done wrong is going to be far worse than what we have now.”
View Royal and Esquimalt are debating whether to include a question, while Capital Regional Dis-trict directors voted not to ask member munici-palities to include the non-binding question next fall.
Despite the setbacks, Amalgamation Yes orga-nizers remain optimistic.
“It’s all in flux,” Vickers said. “We’re well over 20 per cent of the region’s population (if Colwood moves ahead with a question). If we can just get three or four more municipalities, that hopefully will give us momentum.”

Blue-line battle for boys in blueSaanich, Vic cops face off for Special Olympics Christine van ReeuwykNews staff
Saanich and Victoria police offi-cers will face off for a good cause Tuesday in the second annual Battle of the Badges hockey game.
“It started as a friendly Victoria-Saanich banter in the locker room,” said Const. Phil DiBattista of VicPD.
That low-key rivalry evolved into the fundraising force, as the Victo-ria Police Capitals and the Saanich Police Watchdogs will play to raise money for charity.
“It’s a lot of fun for us to play. We’re all colleagues and we work together all the time,” DiBattista said. “It’s good for us to get out there and just be part of the community, and invite the community to come out and see yes we’re police officers, but we’re part of the community.”
“(Last year’s game) was well-received. We had almost a full arena at Pearkes,” said Saanich police Const. Damian Kowalewich, who played for the Capitals in the past. “We have more celebrities attend-ing this year. Youth sensation Lily Cave, she’s singing the anthem, and of course Ace, our mascot, will come out for the kids.”
Cliff LeQuesne from The Q radio station will serve as master of cer-emonies and Ken “Hurricane” Himes will provide the music.
“It’s all for the Special Olympics, every single minute of it,” Kowale-wich said. “It’s important to promote the health and wellness for individu-als from all walks of life.”
Special Olympics athletes will get
to hang out in the dressing rooms before the game, and even drop the ceremonial puck for the first faceoff of the night between the two new police chiefs: Bob Downie from Saan-ich, and Victoria’s Frank Elsner.
“We’ve partnered with (Victo-ria Special Olympics) in the past,” DiBattista said. “We just thought we donate to them regularly, hockey’s fairly athletic and it seemed like a really good fit.”
In a side bet, administration of the losing team will fly the winning department’s flag in front of the los-ing team’s office the weekend follow-ing the game. Last year, the Saan-ich Watchdogs won the game, and helped raise $3,000 for Special Olym-pics Victoria.
Battle of the Badges is Tuesday (March 25) at Pearkes Arena (3100 Tillicum Rd.). The chiefs face off for the ceremonial puck drop at 7 p.m. Admission is by donation. Dona-tions can be made directly to Special Olympics B.C. at specialolympics.bc.ca or at the game.

Hockey fans are in for a treat Saturday as the Victoria Royals drop the puck on the first round of the 2014 Western Hockey League playoffs – with home-ice advantage.
While the Royals had some early-season injuries to work through, the players came together suc-cessfully as a team, buying into the systems the coaching staff had set out last year, says general manager Cam Hope. Even mid-season trades like Axel Blomqvist and Travis Brown were carefully selected not only for their hockey skills but also their ability to fit in right away with their new team-mates and coaches.
“Honestly, (our success) has come from the players committing themselves – the guys have committed to having a winning season. We don’t have a player in the top points in scoring in the
WHL; we do it with every player on the ice doing what they’re supposed to do,” Hope
says.Defenseman and captain Jor-dan Fransoo agrees. “I think the
strength of the team is the team itself, having 20 guys
going on the ice every night working well
together.”
Where the Royals have enjoyed some individual stand-outs is between the pipes, where Coleman Vollrath and Patrik Polivka have shone all season. The two finished the regular season ranked third and fifth respectively in the WHL with save per-centages of 0.928 and 0.915. “I think we’ve got two of the best goalies in the country and right now both of them have been playing very well.”
The team has significant momentum heading into playoffs, including wins against some of the top teams in the league. “When you’re winning it changes everything,” Hope says, noting that prep-aration for playoffs will likely continue as it has for games all season for both players and coaches. After all, as the saying goes, if it ain’t broke...
“It will be the same sort of preparation as always. The coaches really do their homework,” Hope says. As for the players, “they have shown they can play with and beat the best teams in the WHL and now it’s time to do the same in the play-offs.”
The importance of the home-ice advantage is significant – giving the boys in blue a little extra push in their skates, and upping the intimidation factor for opponents who know they’ll have to work extra hard to win at Save-on-Foods Memo-rial Centre, notes Fransoo.
Hope agrees. “I think it’s really important, especially this year
when we have our own rink, and when we fill it like we have done the last few games. The fans have really taken to this team – they’re really behind this group of players – so it’s a pretty imposing place for opponents to play.”
Royals take home ice advantage into playoffs
Join the Victoria Royals in Game 1 of their 2014 WHL Playoff run, Saturday, March 22, when the team takes on the Spokane Chiefs. The puck will drop at 7:05 p.m. at the Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre.
Game 2 goes Sunday, March 23 at 5:05 p.m.The Royals are on the road in Spokane
March 26 and 27 but play-by-play announcer Marlon Martens will keep fans up to date on the [email protected].
If needed, Game 5 is scheduled in Victoria for
Saturday, March 29 at 7:05 p.m., Game 6 will go March 31 in Spokane and Game 7 is Wednesday, April 2 back at Save-in-Foods Memorial Centre at 7:05 p.m.
Heading into the playoffs with a string of sold-out home games that has pushed the Royals into the top 10 in the WHL for attendance, “it’s been electric at the rink,” says Devin Mazur, the Roy-als’ Director of Ticketing. “The players feed off the crowd and the atmosphere. Going into the play-offs, our goal is to continue to give the players that
true home-ice advantage.”And if this year’s stellar season has you think-
ing of season’s tickets, there’s never been a better time – new season ticket clients will receive free first-round playoff tickets with their deposit! Find out more at www.victoriaroyals.com

Regular season stats wrap-up
The Victoria Royals were firing on all cylinders through the second half of the season, putting together an impressive string of wins, even dur-ing their grueling February road trip through the Prairies.
When the final whistle blew on the regular sea-son last Friday night, the team finished second in their division and third in the Western Conference, with a record of 48 wins, 20 losses, one overtime loss and three shoot-out losses.
While the team relied on all its offensive players to put the puck in the net, their goalies stood out between the pipes, sharing duties throughout the sea-son to finish ranked third and fifth in the WHL.
With 20 wins and eight losses, Coleman Vollrath brings into playoffs a Goals Against Average of 2.29 and a Save Percentage of 0.928. Goalie partner Patrik Polivka has 28 wins and 12 losses, with a GAA of 2.56 and a Save Percentage of 0.915.
The Royals finished 13th overall in the WHL in their
powerplay percentage and seventh for their penalty kill.
Showing discipline when they needed it, the Royals recorded an average of just 13.8 penalty minutes per game, the best in the BC division.
Leading the scoring for the team was left-winger Austin Carroll with 34 goals and 23 assists, while right-winger Brandon McGee was the overall points leader with 67 points in 65 games.
Defenseman Travis Brown racked up the most points from the blueline at 53, with 14 goals and 39 assists.

Aladdin on Ice performers Pilar Maekawa, centre, as Jasmine, and Leonardo Maekawa as Aladdin, lead a team of more than 60 skaters from the Racquet Club of Victoria Skating Club during three shows at the Archie Browning Sports Centre arena this weekend.
Aladdin on Ice heats up EsquimaltDaniel PalmerNews staff
For a few weeks every two years, figure skaters at the Rac-quet Club of Victoria Skating Club forget about landing a triple Salcow, lutz or axel.
Instead, more than 60 skat-ers, from five years old to pro-fessional international competi-tors, turn their attention to an entertainment-first production that punches above its weight.
“Our skaters work so hard all year at the national and interna-tional level, so every two years to have this, it’s a total change,” said Matt Willis, assistant direc-tor for this year’s production of
Aladdin on Ice and a skating club coach.
“You’re not thinking about the technical and what judges want to see. All you’re worried about is entertaining an audience. And we really hone our choreogra-phy and music skills.”
Willis said anyone who attended the club’s 2011 pro-duction of Grease will remember the calibre of costumes, profes-sional lighting and world-class production co-ordinated by director Deena Beacom during the fundraising performances.
“It’s not just coming to sup-port the club. You’ll realize this is a full-on show, and bigger than most shows you’d expect to see
in Victoria on ice,” Willis said.“We’re going to put on a great
show for Victoria and it will be magical night for everyone.”
Showtimes are Saturday (March 22) at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m. at the Archie Browning Sports Centre, 1151 Esquimalt Rd.
Tickets are $15 and available through the MacPherson Box Office at 250-386-6121 or the Archie Browning Sports Centre at 250-412-8510.
Attendees can also pick up tickets at the door.
See racquetclubofvictoria.com for more information on the skating club.

The Belfry Theatre’s sixth-annual SPARK Festival is one of “new plays and new ideas” – a tagline that couldn’t ring truer for Target Theatre.
For nearly 30 years the com-pany of older adults has been committed to providing a voice for seniors, and over the last two has become more in tune with their own as they developed their latest piece through the Belfry’s incubator project.
“We’ve explored things we haven’t done before by creative writing,” says Target Theatre member Susan Wilkey.
“Every word is done by us. We’ve literally exposed our soft underbellies and had all sorts of things come out of us.”
Since 1986 Target Theatre has developed a repertoire of plays intended to entertain and inform.
Works aimed at exploring atti-tudes towards seniors and their role in the community, have covered everything from online fraud to prostate cancer.
Wilkey who acts, writes and directs, had volunteered with Target for two years when the group decided to take a chance
and apply for development assistance through the incuba-tor project.
She was among the group of about 12 players who met with Geoffrey Ewert, a facilitator pro-vided by the theatre to introduce different methods of generating material and help shape their words into Firewall, a fusion of nostalgia and technology.
“They sometimes say to amuse seniors, give them pup-pies or small children,” Wilkey says. “(But) we actually have acting and it’s been a delight. We meet every Tuesday morning and it’s been a wonderful thing to experience. We’re trying out every skill that we have.”
Those skills, heightened by their newfound communication, Wilkey says, will stay with the group long after Firewall’s run at the SPARK Festival is through.
“Some of us didn’t even put pen to paper before and we’ve exposed ourselves beautifully,” she says.
Ewert was there to assist with identifying the universal truths in their individual writing as they move from a more targeted audience to the full spectrum of audience members who come to the festival.
“We want to stay away from
what people might expect,” Ewert says. “When you’re deal-ing with seniors and technol-ogy or isolation, what are the assumptions that people are going to make and then how can we surprise them?”
The result was a kind of col-lage piece, infused with tech-nical elements of staging that delivered an unexpected punch for Wilkey and the team.
“We’re playing with projection and different elements of sound design and technology in the space,” Ewert says. “Really, our production is mirroring some of the things that we explored dur-ing our creation process.”
It’s a far cry from the prop box of days of yore, Wilkey adds.
“Now we have technology thrown into our performance – that’s an eye-opener. We’re embracing like crazy.”
SPARK festivalignites Victoria
Firewall, now playing, is among five big shows, includ-ing plays from Toronto’s Out-side The March Theatre and EW&FCO, Halifax’s 2b theatre, and locals B101 Live, a group of high school students who have been watching Belfry plays
and working alongside Ewert to create their own masterpiece.
Tickets to these shows range from $10-$20. The festival includes professional development work-shops, and more than 40 free events, includ-ing miniplays and this Saturday’s midway party bursting with the-atre, dance and prizes.
All of the details can be found at belfry.bc.ca/spark. The festi-val wraps March [email protected]

VICTORIA NEWS - Friday, March 21, 2014 www.vicnews.com • A19
Christine van ReeuwykNews staff
A diverse variety of ancient and “younger” fossil animals and plants from the Cambrian period (550 million years ago) to the end of the last Ice Age (10,000 years ago) will be on display this weekend in Saa-nich.
The Victoria Palaeontology Society holds its 18th Fossil Fair on Saturday and Sunday at Swan Lake Nature Sanctu-ary.
“This is our society’s annual outreach public education event telling people about the importance of fossils,” said Tom Cockburn, chair of the Victoria Palaeontology Soci-ety.
Fossils on display range from locally found to beyond B.C. borders, and include dinosaur bones, ammonites, trilobites, corals, mollusks, insects, giant palm leaves and microscopic fossils. A special display includes information and fossils surrounding the relationship between dino-saurs and birds.
“We just happen to have one person who has quite a bit of expertise about this,” Cock-burn said. The expert, Gary
Kaiser, a research associate at Royal B.C. Museum, will be on hand to answer questions.
“We don’t have a lot of bird fossils because they are pretty fragile and rare,” Cock-burn said. “They’re all at the museum so we can’t really be exhibiting them. But we can talk about them.”
They do have, however, a fossil cast of the one of the earliest birds, archaeopteryx, that lived approximately 150 million years ago.
“We have a very nice cast of
one of those fossils. It’s quite large, about 17 inches by 14 inches. So it’s very visible and shows a lot of the bones and that,” Cockburn said.
Admission to the event by donation and also offers kid-friendly activities, such as a scavenger hunt, fossil rub-bings and peering at the tini-est of fossils through micro-scope.
“We hear parents say, ‘We came for the kids’, but parents come and really start asking questions. It’s for all ages,”
Cockburn said. “We have a wide range of fossils so there’s always something for people to see.”
The society also invites the public to bring in fossils for identification.
The Fossil Fair at Swan Lake Christmas Hill Nature Sanctu-ary (3873 Swan Lake Rd.) is March 22 and 23 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days.

For home buyers, moving can be stressful, no matter if one is a first-time purchaser, scaling down to a smaller place or moving up to a larger home.
If you want to remove a fair chunk of that stress, there are various strat-egies for reducing it. And the nice part is, most can be utilized long before the sales agreement is signed or the moving company is booked.
Barbara McDonell with Clutter Queen Services often works with people to get rid of unwanted items in advance of move.
“I get them look at one item and ask, ‘do I love it and do I use it?’ If not, they should seriously consider donating it or selling it,” she says. “If they can’t answer right away that they love it, they usually don’t.”
She recommends starting with large items to maximize downsizing efforts and get you thinking about whether your old furniture will fit in the new place.
Another area ripe for decluttering, she says, is storage lockers.
“I find that people are paying a lot of money for (outside) storage. People will often discover things they haven’t used in ages and may never use again, like 30 copies of a university thesis. If you don’t get rid of it, you’re paying to move it, if you happen to be gong to another city.”
By the time you’re ready to start looking seriously for a new home – maybe you’ve already found one that fits your needs – there are cer-tain logistical steps to take.
Once clients settle on his services, says Realtor John Hircock, he works with people to find out where they are in the buying procedure.
“I do a bit of an interview to see if they’re pre-approved (for a loan) and who their mortgage broker is,” he says. “I want to make sure they have a little better understanding of the process.”
He helps clients understand what they need to have in place before they buy, but also has a good check-list that includes other service pro-viders who can help make buying a home a smooth experience.
“The real estate agent is just one of the professionals that people are going to use,” Hircock says, listing such tasks as hiring a home inspec-
tor and a moving company, and hav-ing documents vetted and signed by a lawyer or notary public. “There’s a whole bunch of people who are going to be involved in that transac-tion, perhaps even an accountant.”
Part of the package he offers includes a closing costs worksheet to help eliminate surprises or under-estimation of the funds needed to complete a deal. “You need to have a bit of money set aside to trans-fer your services (such as hydro, cable, phone and home heating) in addition to all the closing costs, like the property transfer tax (for which exemptions are available for first-time buyers).”
Once the house search gets down to the offer stage, only three things
can happen: the seller can reject it, they can counter with a different price, or they can accept it. Regard-less of the seeming simplicity of the transaction, it can still be a stressful time, Hircock says.
“It takes time and sometimes there’s multiple offers. Explaining that process, letting a client read through a blank contract of pur-chase and sale, helps people have at least a general understanding of the process (going in).”
When the moving date is con-firmed, people can do various things to prepare, says Cathy Haynes, the Downsize Diva.
One of her first suggestions? If you plan to use movers, book them early (mid-month specials are often available). If you plan to pack your own boxes, use strong ones that can close at the top and be stacked and list contents clearly on the side.
As for the aforementioned service transfers, book well ahead so as not to have service interrupted. Other items to change include licences and insurance, credit cards, bank information, subscriptions and get-ting your mail forwarded to the new address for up to six months.
If those are the “must-dos,” Haynes says, the “nice-to-dos” include leav-ing things for your home’s buyer, such as warranties and instruction manuals for appliances and dated invoices for major renovations.
“You also want to let them know where the shutoffs are for the water, and leave behind paint cans from recent painting jobs for touchups,” she says. “It’s also nice to leave the names of a couple neighbours, espe-cially the Block Watch captain; your favourite cafés and maybe a parks and rec booklet. Oh and don’t forget the remotes for the garage doors.”
Overall, a little forward planning can help make the moving process a pleasure rather than a chore.
Q: WHAT ARE SOME POINTERS FOR THE MOVING
PROCESS?
HomeFinderFind a place to call home
BUYING TIP | Read a blank sales agreement ahead of time to familiarize yourself with what’s involved
Checklists handy when moving time comesIf you’re using a
moving company, get three quotes – Check
their rating with the Better Business Bureau and ask
them to come to your home � rst to help avoid
surprise chargesSeparate your
‘immediate need’ boxes – Keep items you use daily apart from other
boxes for quick accessBuy enough supplies
and collect boxes ahead of time if you’re packing –
Running out when you’re nearing moving day
adds one more job to an already busy time
Start out right in your new home, consider the elements of feng shui – Don’t simply move the clutter from your old home to the new one. Seriously think about
getting rid of items you haven’t used or looked at
in a year or more

can happen: the seller can reject it, they can counter with a different price, or they can accept it. Regard-less of the seeming simplicity of the transaction, it can still be a stressful time, Hircock says.
“It takes time and sometimes there’s multiple offers. Explaining that process, letting a client read through a blank contract of pur-chase and sale, helps people have at least a general understanding of the process (going in).”
When the moving date is con-firmed, people can do various things to prepare, says Cathy Haynes, the Downsize Diva.
One of her first suggestions? If you plan to use movers, book them early (mid-month specials are often available). If you plan to pack your own boxes, use strong ones that can close at the top and be stacked and list contents clearly on the side.
As for the aforementioned service transfers, book well ahead so as not to have service interrupted. Other items to change include licences and insurance, credit cards, bank information, subscriptions and get-ting your mail forwarded to the new address for up to six months.
If those are the “must-dos,” Haynes says, the “nice-to-dos” include leav-ing things for your home’s buyer, such as warranties and instruction manuals for appliances and dated invoices for major renovations.
“You also want to let them know where the shutoffs are for the water, and leave behind paint cans from recent painting jobs for touchups,” she says. “It’s also nice to leave the names of a couple neighbours, espe-cially the Block Watch captain; your favourite cafés and maybe a parks and rec booklet. Oh and don’t forget the remotes for the garage doors.”
Overall, a little forward planning can help make the moving process a pleasure rather than a chore.
Q: WHAT ARE SOME POINTERS FOR THE MOVING
PROCESS?
HomeFinderFind a place to call home
BUYING TIP | Read a blank sales agreement ahead of time to familiarize yourself with what’s involved
Checklists handy when moving time comesIf you’re using a
moving company, get three quotes – Check
their rating with the Better Business Bureau and ask
them to come to your home � rst to help avoid
surprise chargesSeparate your
‘immediate need’ boxes – Keep items you use daily apart from other
boxes for quick accessBuy enough supplies
and collect boxes ahead of time if you’re packing –
Running out when you’re nearing moving day
adds one more job to an already busy time
Start out right in your new home, consider the elements of feng shui – Don’t simply move the clutter from your old home to the new one. Seriously think about
getting rid of items you haven’t used or looked at
in a year or more

An auto show for the entire provinceIt’s that time of year again when car shoppers can check out the hottest trends, latest innovations and some old classics at the 94th annual Vancouver International Auto Show.This year’s show, which runs from March 25 to 30 at the Vancouver Convention Centre West, promises to be a great family-friendly event with some exciting new features, following a record-breaking year for auto sales in Canada in 2013.The show is owned and oper-ated by the New Car Dealers Association of BC, serving as a new model showcase for the Canadian automotive industry and representing more than 30 distinct brands from the world’s leading manufacturers. Canadians purchased a record-setting 1.74 million cars last year: a four per cent increase over 2012 and just the second time in history that the market has ever surpassed 1.7 million units. In British Columbia alone, new car dealers account for more than $10 billion annually in economic activity. This makes it an important industry for entire province where our dealer
members employ, directly and indirectly, more than 34,000 high paying, full-time people in the more than 50 communities they serve.The show may be at the coast and therefore a little too long a drive for many readers but I would encourage you to cast your eye over show media coverage and use that material for information and ideas. Then go to visit some of our members’ dealerships where they operate an ‘auto show’ for 52 weeks a year!For those of you who can attend be sure to participate in the Green Ride and Drive, which puts you at wheel of the latest eco-friendly vehicles. Another feature is the Exotics, which is
a selection of truly exhilarating automobiles – you can dream!Visitors at this year’s show will also get to ex-perience a bit of automotive history at Hagerty Classic Alley, featuring beautiful cars from the 1950s and 1960s, including a special salute to the Ford Mustang and its 50th anniversary celebration. Two classic cars will also be auctioned off, with
100 per cent of the funds going towards two very de-serving causes. The first is a 1966 Plymouth Satellite, funds from which will go towards the MS Society of Canada. The second is a 1966 Ford Mustang Coupe, profits from which will be donated to the New Car Dealers Foundation of BC.For more information on the show visit: vancouverinternationalautoshow.com

Last year, ICBC invested about $703,000 in 40 road improvement projects and safety studies to help make Greater Victoria’s roads saf-er for everyone, including drivers and pedestrians.More than $180,000 was allotted for Malahat corridor improvements partnering with the Ministry of Transportation and Infra-structure. Broken into three projects for intersection improve-ments including merge lane changes and the U-turn route; barrier installation; reflective markings; and access improvements to the three rest areas. “ICBC’s road improvement program works in partner-ship with municipalities and our ministry to help make our roads and highways safer,” said Todd Stone, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure.
“This program is a great ex-ample of successful partner-ships as it brings together numerous stakeholders to help ensure safety remains a top priority when roads and highways are designed or upgraded in communities across the province.”ICBC launched its road improvement program in 1990 and has invested approximately $120 million across B.C.“Everyone benefits from
road improvements – from drivers to pedestrians – because safer roads mean fewer crashes, which also translates into lower claim costs,” said John Dickinson, ICBC’s director of road safe-ty. “We’ll continue to invest in road safety initiatives that help us keep rates as low as possible.”Proposed road improve-ment projects are assessed based on their ability to make roads safer. The most recent evaluation of the program found that over a two year period, for every dollar invested, there’s a return rate of five times the investment. The evaluation also found that following a project’s implementation, there is on average, a 20 per cent reduction in severe crashes and a 12 per cent reduction in property dam-age [email protected]

The Vancouver Interna-tional Auto Show gets underway next week. To-day, the Driveway team looks at the offerings for 2014 from the Big Three domestic manufacturers in paper and online at drivewaycanada.ca
Ford has been on a roll here in Canada; finishing out 2013 as the top selling brand for the fourth consec-utive year.There are some very big products from Ford over the coming year that will make a big impact on its sales and image, and you will get a peek at some of them at the Vancouver International Auto Show.The first is the biggest intro-duction of any automaker this year, the all-new 2015 Ford F-150 full-size pickup truck. The F-150 isn’t just the best selling truck in Canada for almost 50 years; it is the overall sales champ, selling more than any other nameplate. Period. Ford isn’t merely intro-ducing an updated model. No, they went to town, developing a entirely new manufacturing process that
will revolutionize the full-size truck space. The body of the next F-150 is built of an aluminum alloy material that Ford claims is 318 kg lighter but stronger than the outgoing model. In addition, the frame is made of thin-ner, lighter and stronger high-tensile steel that combined with the body, produces the weight savings. This is an industry first, and a revolutionary approach to building trucks. In addition to a lighter body, the engineers have developed two new engines to complement the existing 3.5L EcoBoost turbocharged V6 model and 5.0L normally aspirated V8 engine. The first is a new 3.5L V6 en-gine, replacing the outgoing 3.7L model base engine. With a lighter truck, a smaller engine can do the
work. A smaller 2.7L tur-bocharged EcoBoost V6 is also going to be introduced with an auto start-stop function that switches off the engine when the truck is sitting still. Official fuel economy ratings have not been released but Ford executives say they hope to have best in class gasoline fuel economy.Other enhancements to the F-150 include a new stepladder integrated with the tailgate. Ford was the first to have this feature
but it has been improved for 2015. The tailgate also has a soft-open feature that prevents it from slamming down, plus a light switch near the back of the truck to eliminate the bed with new LED lights.The second vehicle that will have a big impact for Ford, but more of an image car, is the all-new 2015 Mustang. Interestingly, about 25 per cent of all Mustangs are sold here in British Columbia, so this is a big deal for us.
The 2015 Mustang is now going to be sold around the world and developed as part of the “One Ford” ap-proach to making cars they can share in every market. This means the Mustang will be sold, for the first time, with right hand drive for countries like the UK, Australia and Japan.The stance of the new Mustang is lower, wider and more muscular, with the wheels pushed out to provide better stability. The fastback has a steeper rake
and a bigger trapezoidal grille has enhanced the shark nose design. Initially the Mustang will be sold as a coupe and convertible with the base and GT trim, the higher performance models will come later.Inside is another clean-sheet design, featuring real aluminum switches and dials, with two large gauges behind the steering wheel. The interior looks more upscale than any Mustang before.Under the hood, the GT trim
continues with the 5.0L V8 with improved valves and cylinders helping to pump out over 420 hp. The base 3.7L V6 is also carried over but now with 300 hp. The big news is the introduction of a 2.3L turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder with an estimated 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque.For years, the criticism has been the lack of indepen-dent rear suspension in the Mustang but this is no longer the case. A fully independent rear suspen-sion will help get all the power down to the ground from all three engines plus provide improved handling. Ford is hoping with this new platform and available engines, this new model will provide as many thrills as any German sports model and for less money. Pricing has not been finalized but expect it to be in line with existing 2014 Mustang pricing.Ford is doing well here in Canada and with all-new products, it will have a good chance of staying No. 1.

Lincoln ready for a rematch
When you think about a premium brand, Lincoln
probably doesn’t come to mind. The once mighty domestic luxury brand has been left too long without any unique offerings to distinguish itself from the parent brand Ford. For decades Ford would take existing models, make a few changes and call them a Lincoln. This drove the brand to almost irrelevance in a highly competitive marketplace.Well, there are big plans afoot at Lincoln to change all of that. With a lot of hard work, unique designs, engines and marketing, Ford is hoping to make Lin-coln relevant again, not just taking on rival Cadillac but also the best of the import luxury brands.I had a chance to catch up with Jim Farley, executive vice president of Global Marketing, Sales and Ser-vice for Lincoln and Ford at a recent auto show. Getting to spend time with one of the driving forces behind the new Lincoln was eye opening. He told me “All you need to know is two facts. The first fact is that we sold all of our premium brands, (Jaguar, Aston Martin, Volvo and Range Rover) we have no other luxury brand than Lincoln. So if you want a luxury brand and you’re an executive at the company, you’re going to be driving a Lincoln. The second fact that you need to know about is that we have already spent the resources on the product, for fully differentiated products that the company has not done in decades. So, this is kind of the first time, in probably 20 years, that the company has really invested in Lin-coln to be truly global. And
the decision to go to China is very important for Cana-dian customers because it is the ultimate example of our commitment.”There is a four-vehicle onslaught of new products that Lincoln hopes will bring them back. The first was the MKZ sedan that came out in 2013. It has been selling well, and the hybrid version has been a surprise, with buyers choosing it in volumes Lincoln had not expected. The second vehicle will be the all-new MKC compact luxury SUV, based on the Ford Escape that will arrive this summer. Farley describes the MKC as “a subcompact, Escape-sized true luxury product but it has even more exclusive features compared to the Ford product than we have ever done at Lincoln before. Exclusive engine, exclusive design, the roof is much lower than the Escape.” In describing the MKC, Farley said, “It has all the comfort and feature-functions that you would expect from a world-class luxury brand.” Powering the MKC is an all-new 2.3L turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder en-gine with an estimated 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque. This is the same engine that
will be available in the all-new Mustang.The design of the new MKC has a very European sil-houette but with a stylized Lincoln grille. The back of the MKC was a major engi-neering an design challenge due to the wrap around tailgate that brings to mind the Audi Q7. What Lincoln is hoping to do is offer more for less than the German com-petition. The price tag of $39,940 is a great starting point for any small luxury crossover. With 300 hp and a great starting price the MKC should find an audience.The biggest problem Lincoln has is getting people to consider the brand. The ex-ecutives at Ford and Lincoln are realistic and know it will take years for buyers to be aware of the brand and to accept its new products. Moving Lincoln away from Ford with separate design-ers, engineers and manage-ment will hopefully make Lincoln a strong brand yet again. This new MKC will arrive this summer and should get attention from buyers who want luxury but at an affordable price.

Dark days over for ChryslerThese days, there’s always something new and inter-esting to see at a Chrysler auto show product display. Big and small it’s got ’em all. There’s a super-cute little Fiat that can run forever on litre of fuel over here and a big, brawny heavy-duty Ram 2500 Laramie Longhorn Diesel that can pull a mountain over there.Then there’s value-packed Dodge, go-anywhere Jeep and those top-line Chrysler brand products, including the sleek new (2015) 200 sedan. Gear-heads will, of course, be gathered around the SRT Viper, which reportedly can transport occupants to 100 km/h in less than four seconds.On the business side, Chrysler Canada recently recorded 50 consecutive months of year-over-year sales growth, which is the longest period of continu-ous market improvement in the company’s history. Globally, 2013 was another great year for parent company Chrysler Group LLC, which reported a year-end net income of $2.8 billion, up from $1.7 billion the previous year. So far, in 2014, the sales growth story continues with award winning new vehicles and there are more new prod-ucts in the pipeline.The radically redesigned Jeep Cherokee was recently voted 2014 Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year, by members of the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada and has already achieved best ever mid-size SUV sales results for Jeep. Cherokee is the first Jeep built on a body platform co-developed with corporate partner Fiat S.p.A. The base engine is a fuel-efficient 2.4-litre Tigershark MultiAir four-cyl-inder engine and there’s an optional new 3.2-litre Pentastar V6 engine. Other
engineering highlights include a nine-speed automatic transmission and a new Jeep Selec-Terrain traction control system with up to five customized drive modes.This year the redesigned Jeep Grand Cherokee is offered with a new 3.0-litre EcoDiesel V6 engine option, which is expected to deliver best-in-class fuel economy, a driving range in excess of 1,100 km and towing capa-bility up to 3,357 kg (7,400 pounds). A new eight-speed automatic transmission comes with all powertrains. Grand Cherokee also offers three 4x4 systems and a Quadra-Lift air suspension. Led by the Ram 1500, Motor Trend magazine’s Truck of Year for the second year in a row and the only half-ton with a diesel engine option, Ram is now the second-best selling vehicle in Canada. Chrysler separated its Dodge brand and created the distinct standalone Ram brand to concentrate on core truck customers and offers a range of vehicles that includes pickup trucks, vans, cab/chassis platforms and commercial products.The Fiat brand is a relative newcomer to the Chrysler family and is sold through selected Chrysler dealers. A recent surge in sales was led primarily by the intro-duction of a new Fiat 500L.
Expanding the size and appeal of the diminutive Cinquecento (Fiat 500) and offering 42 per cent more interior space plus seating for five, the new 500L is a contemporary and uniquely Italian styling package.If big, bold, and powerful is more your style, the Dodge Charger is a rear-drive, full size sedan with power to match its muscular styling. A new Redline package comes with 20-inch black chrome wheels, Beats Audio and an upgraded 300 hp, 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 engine. If that’s not enough, there’s a new R/T edition comes with a 370 hp HEMI V8 engine.The best selling minivan of all time, Dodge Grand Car-avan is the definitive family transporter. It now only comes with a Pentastar 3.5 litre V6 engine – no gutless base engine here – linked to a six-speed automatic transmission. A new Black-top package includes a black gloss front grille and headlamp treatments plus black polished aluminum wheels, giving it a more sinister appearance.The already mentioned 2015 Chrysler 200 is a redesigned mid-size sedan for those who have earned the right to enjoy some luxury and those extra frills, yet still demand value for money. The 200’s exterior front-end design is appar-ently the new “face” of the Chrysler brand and it’s now based on an Alfa Romeo chassis. At the LA auto show about six years ago, the lights were turned out at an abandoned Chrysler display during the press preview days. It was both ominous and sad to see, as behind closed doors a once great company was struggling to survive. The dark days are over.

It’s a truck revolutionYears ago, we would see a pickup truck at an auto show (a rare find) and think this would be perfect on the farm; it has a bench seat that would fit all three of us. My how things have changed. Stepping into a pickup today is like stepping into a luxury home with even more technology. Trucks now outsell cars, so manufacturers must keep looking for innovative designs to entice the consumer into selecting their vehicle over the competition. There are many trucks on the road today but let’s look at the three domestic brands, all of which will be represented at the Vancouver International Auto Show.Ram introduced the EcoDiesel V6 engine in its 2014 1500 model and the consumer frenzy was on. A half-ton pickup with 420 lb-ft of torque and 4182 kg (9,200 pounds) max towing capabilities. Great, better fuel economy. Where do I sign?Ford announces the 2015 F150 with an aluminum body and a completely new design, this had Ford customers holding off on their new purchase until this comes out, which I do not think was Ford’s intention. GM changes not only the design of their truck but much of their drivetrain. So much so, that it was named North American Truck of the year.
Consumers are demanding these changes, they want better fuel economy but the abilitiy to tow just as much. They want more comfort but still have a practical interior. They want comfortable suspension but still perform off-road if necessary. Manufacturers have to consider all this when designing a new
truck. They set up focus groups all around the country asking how they can improve and what fea-tures consumers want in a truck.So what’s driving sales, what do pickups have over cars and why are they so popular? Versatility, you can transport large items, haul your favourite ‘toy’, take your family in comfort to the cabin, get out and play in the mud. I am not saying you can’t do this in a car but with a truck there are no lim-itations and that’s what intrigues people into this type of vehicle.You can do so much more with a truck, the possibilities are endless. The truck is just the beginning, the customization then begins. Research shows that on average a truck owner spends between $5,000 and $7,000 in aftermar-ket accessories within the first six months of ownership. Truck owners want to personalize their vehicles for practical reasons and some artistic reasons, but rest assured, if you can dream it there is somebody out there building it. Ten years ago, I would have said things are slowing down and there might be a change coming, but it didn’t happen. Things picked up and keep picking up. I think it will continue and in another 10 years, we will see even more choices, enabling us to take the time to enjoy life on and off road.

Confessions of a CurberMy next vehicle came from a used car wholesaler*. There was nothing wrong with it, but he couldn’t fi nd a dealer who wanted it. I gladly took it off his hands. How hip was I? I had a new source of newer vehicles that would come right to me. “Two-year-old car for sale. No previous accident history reported, only 35,000km on it. Call with offer.”Shortly after, I got a call from a young man. His car had just broken down, and he needed a new one fast. He agreed to meet me at the local construction site where he worked.He was just fi nishing up his lunch when I arrived. He was wearing his construction uniform and I immediately noticed his tired eyes.I felt bad for the poor fellow, and I was glad that I was selling him a reliable vehicle. He didn’t need another headache on top of everything. I even knocked $500 off the price I wanted.It was a smooth transaction. The guy looked happy and thanked me immensely for all the help. I beamed back at him.Around 5:00 a.m. the next morning, I got a call. It was the construction worker, yelling so loudly that I could barely understand him. “THEY TOOK IT AWAY,” he said over and over again. “REPOSSESSED!”I hung up on him and tried to make sense of the situation. Why would the car be taken away in the middle of the night? Who’s “they”?Liens. Of course. The car had a lien on it. That’s why it wouldn’t sell on a lot. The bank must have seized it due to an unpaid balance. As before, I panicked. I didn’t want to get involved in this right now. Sure, I sold him the car, but how was I supposed to know it had
a lien on it? I realized the wholesaler* had scammed me! If that fellow had asked for a CarProof history report or even a provincial lien search, I’d be the one screaming.Over the next several hours, I kept letting my phone go to voicemail – I couldn’t bear speaking to the young man. I knew I had to switch phones again.I felt a bit ashamed. But I needed to be selfi sh about this. At this point, the best thing for me was cash. And lots of it.
*Wholesaler – Vehicle sellers may call themselves auto brokers or wholesalers to sound legitimate and cheaper. But if they’re selling to private buyers, they must be licensed as a dealer. Like any curber - an individual posing as a private seller but selling vehicles as a business – wholesalers and
brokers offer none of the protection the law provides for purchases from a Vehicle Sales Authority licensed dealer. Walt learned
that lesson, but his buyer paid the price.
“They took it away,” he said over and over again. “REPOSSESSED!”

Chevy rolls into town with shiny new wheelsThe model year 2014 is already in full swing for Chevrolet as it rolls its products into the Vancouver International Auto Show.Many of the new and revamped products are already in dealerships so let’s take a look at what’s especially notable for this year.Cruze DieselThe popular selling compact from Chevrolet, the Cruz, now comes in an even more efficient setup: the Cruze Diesel. While the diesel model was launched last summer, it bears a 2014 designation.Under its hood is a 2.0L turbo-diesel that packs in 151 horsepower and 264 lb-ft torque. Yes, it has that much torque and is most impressive. According to Chevrolet, it has a 0-96 km/h (60 mph) performance of 8.6 seconds, “which is better than the Volkswagen Jetta TDI automatic and competitive with German diesel cars that dominate the North American market.”In addition to that, it receives an estimated fuel consumption of 4.2L/100km on the highway and 7.5L/100km in the city.While the Cruze diesel had already been available in Europe, the proven engine needed to be adapted to North American emissions ratings.
It comes standard with a six-speed automatic transmission and 376.6L trunk space.It has an MSRP of $24,945 plus $1,550 destination freight charge.ImpalaChevrolet’s flagship sedan is all new for the 2014 model year. Released in 2013, this five-passenger vehicle can certainly hold its own in a segment whose competitors are getting stronger and stronger.Among its redeeming new features, an all-new exterior design. I think it looks great. Chevrolet has certainly listened to their customers and gives drivers a vehicle that has flair, as well as potency.Its cabin/interior also received a major overhaul and the result is pleasing to
the eyes and to the touch.The 2014 Impala is offered with three engine choices, including two four-cylinder powertrains and a 3.6L V6. Output for the 3.6L V6 is rated at 305 horsepower and 264 lb-ft of torque. That is the highest horsepower output in the segment from a naturally-aspirated V6 engine. The Ecotec 2.5L is part of a new family of four-cylinder engines developed with increased efficiency and greater refinement. It is rated at 196 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torqueThe Impala’s Ecotec 2.4L engine with eAssist provides electrical assist in certain conditions to help save fuel. It is rated at 182 hpr. MalibuThe 2013 model year brought forth an all-new Malibu. That said, not much has changed for 2014, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t get a few enhancements.For example, there’s now a fuel-saving start-stop technology added to the standard model, rear knee room improved by 31.7 mm and chassis and suspension developments enhance drive experience.That’s on top off the overhauled Malibu, on the inside and out.Camaro Z/28For those diehard track day fans who have been
waiting for an even more performance inspired Camaro, the wait is over. Almost. For 2014, the Z/28 makes its debut.All 2014 Camaro models feature a revised exterior design that integrates high-performance aerody-namics for more efficient cooling and stability at high speeds. However, the new Camaro Z/28 adds features like a full aerodynamics package that creates down-force at speed, which helps make it the most track-ca-pable offering in Camaro’s history. Alongside its aerodynamic prowess, under its hood is a mechanical wonder. Its 7.0L, LS7 V8 hand-assem-bled engine was co-devel-oped with Corvette Racing to make it as potent as possible. Its monster engine pro-duces an estimated 500 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. With those figures on paper, don’t expect amazing fuel results.And just like it takes an experienced driver to put it through its paces, your bank account will most like-ly need to be seasoned, too. It has an MSRP of $77,400. If you get to the show, all the GM brands, including Chevrolet, are well-repre-sented.

The Hagerty Classic Alley at the Vancouver International Auto Show perhaps should be called Mustang Alley, in what is the Chinese Year of the Horse.There are two Mustangs on display, including this red 1966 Ford Mustang,
along with a 1956 Chevrolet Nomad resto-mod and a 1966 Plymouth Satellite.The second Mustang is a 1965 Mustang convertible, restored to an as new condition and is steeped in Vancouver history.
A beautifully restored 1966 Mustang Hardtop will be auctioned off from the show’s Redline Stage on Saturday, March 29. That day 50 Mustangs, celebrating 50 years of the model, will be displayed on the Convention Centre Concourse.

Cell phones are great in emergency situations but not a replacement to carry-ing an emergency car kit. Oak Bay police Const. Rick Anthony says there are plenty of areas that don’t have good cell reception on the Island and it’s import-ant to be prepared for the unexpected.“You are more likely to have a car accident and be stranded than being in an earthquake,” Anthony says. “Preparing an emergency car kit is almost the same as preparing an earthquake kit, but your chance of using it is higher.”Prepackaged emergency
car kits can be purchased at a variety of stores, but Anthony prefers making his own as the contents in emergency kits vary greatly. Standard items he recommends include water; non-perishable snacks; a re-flective vest; an emergency blanket (preferably the kind made of foil as it’s reflective
and holds in warmth); a battery-powered phone charger; jumper cables; duct tape, twine or rope; a bat-tery operated or wind-up flashlight; matches; a light-er; a can of flat tire inflator and sealant; a Swiss army knife; a window smasher and a seatbelt cutter.“You might come across an accident and a person trapped in the car,” Antho-ny says, offering another reason to carry a kit. “These are the basics and there may be variations.“Depending on how many people are in the car – you might have three kids and a (partner) or if it’s just the
two of you – you want to plan accordingly.”BCAA associate vice-pres-ident of Road Assist, Ken Cousin, agrees an emer-gency car kit is vital, as ac-cidents do happen. But he also says there are things drivers can do to minimize the chances of needing emergency help.Preparations include adjust-ing your driving speed for the weather, making sure all fluids are topped up and
ensuring headlights are working and clean. If your car breaks down, remain calm and keep safe.If possible, stay in the car. “But sometimes the car is not a good place to be,” Cousin says. “There are so many variables. The im-portant thing is make sure you’re safe, your passengers are safe and being seen.”Then a well-stocked emer-gency kit comes in handy.
