Everything, including the kitchen sink Saanich family donates house to charity groups in attempt to reuse and recycle every scrap Edward Hill News staff
The sun was out last Saturday when a small army of volunteers swarmed through Rishi Sharma’s Saanich house, and stripped it to the bone. Door frames, cabinets, wood trim, cupboards, appliances, doors and lights fixtures – everything including the kitchen sink went into a Habitat for Humanity truck. It’s the first time the Victoria arm of the charity organized the wholesale deconstruction of a house, and it will be a test case for the future. For Sharma, a 37-year-old provinical government employee who has subdivided his Mount Douglas Cross Road lot, this is the first step in his attempt to reuse and recycle his entire home. “I knew I’d have to deconstruct this house. I thought I’d do one better and instead of just recycling, I wanted to donate the entire house for reuse,” Sharma said. “It was a vision I had that really no one has done before. It was a vision that became a mission.” The dozen volunteers, most military members from CFB
Esquimalt, spent Saturday crowbaring and unscrewing every removable piece of the house that could be sold at Habitat’s ReStore store in Langford. In turn, that money will flow into the pool of funds Habitat uses to build affordable homes across Greater Victoria, 18 to date, and another four slated in Saanich for 2014. Yolanda Meijer, the executive director for Habitat for Humanity in Victoria, said it’s unusual, but not unheard ofm for people to offer entire homes, although this was their largest salvage operation to date. It was a good exercise for the organization, as volunteers could remove cupboards and appliances and not have to worry about damaging walls and floors. Meijer plans to track the sale of each item to see how much money a single house can generate, and how much material is diverted from the landfill. “Every house deconstruction has recycling. We are pushing reuse,” Meijer said. “If you take out your kitchen intact, someone will buy it from us. “Many people think about recycling. I want them to think about reusing. It doesn’t go into the

Saanich homeowner Rishi Sharma loads a sink from his house into a Habitat for Humanity truck on Saturday. Sharma donated his house to Habitat and other non-profits in an attempt to reuse and recycle the structure prior to building two new houses on his Mount Douglas Cross Road lot. landfill, and you get a tax receipt.” Sharma plans to have the house recycled down to the foundation. Habitat for Humanity doesn’t have the capacity to strip out drywall, flooring and plywood, but volunteers from OUR Ecovillage, a 25-acre sustainable living demonstration site in Shawnigan Lake, plans to disassemble the remainder of the house to almost nothing. Ecovillage executive director Brandy Gallagher said her group often takes what Habitat can’t to benefit their own project and as a means to divert waste from the traditional waste stream. Gallagher said better financial incentives and systems need to be in place to allow homeowners and developers easier ways to recycle old buildings. As it stands
now, allowing non-profits to salvage houses isn’t an efficient use of time for builders. “The deconstruction field is up against time and money. It does take time to pull nails,” Gallagher said. “There is no credit for doing ethical things.” Meijer agreed: “Homeowners have to realize this is not a cost saving exercise. It’s a shift in mindset about what happens to things we don’t want or need.” At Sharma’s house, it doesn’t take long for volunteers to pack the Habitat cube truck with all the fixtures that define a home. Most participate out of a sense of duty to engage in community service, and they also support the underlying mission of Habitat. “It’s a good organization, a good charity and you don’t have
to be experienced to help,” leading seaman Malisa Ogunniya, 25, said while yanking nails from wood trim. Sharma likes the idea that his old cupboards and fixtures will eventually help build affordable housing in the region. To him, it was important enough that he refused to give the appliances to his father, Surinder Sharma, the president Victoria Hindu Temple. “I wanted (Rishi) to give the stove and fridge for the temple. But he said ‘No, this is a better cause,’” laughed the senior Sharma, who was lending a hand with the deconstruction. “I think Rishi is doing the right thing. It’s nice to see this all going to use instead of going into the garbage. Somebody will use it.” editor@saanichnews.com ! ING IST L NEW

Travellers looking to get to the Olympic Peninsula will need to take a detour for the next few weeks. From Jan. 20 to Feb. 7, the M.V. Coho, which runs daily between Victoria’s Inner Harbour and Port Angeles, Wash., will be taking its annual maintenance and refurbishment break. “We’ve maintained (the Coho) impeccably and put new engines in there in 2004,” said Ryan Burles, president of Black Ball Ferry Line. “As long as we keep at it, she’s got many years ahead of her.” The routine maintenance will be done at the Dakota Creek drydock in Anacortes, Wash.. The last sailings prior to the break will be Sunday (Jan. 20) at 8:20 a.m. from Port Angeles, and at 10:30 a.m. from Victoria. As the only privately owned ferry connecting the Island to Washington State, the Coho carries 400,000 passengers and 120,000 vehicles annually. editor@vicnews.com
William Head prison expects more inmates The future of William Head Institution includes more inmates and the possibility of more incarcerated people working outside the prison, says Dave Clouston, deputy warden of William Head Institution. The prison has space to hold up to 200 inmates at a time, but for the past nine years only about 120 inmates have been held at the facility. “Over the next few years we anticipate an increase in inmates,” Clouston said. As a federal institution all the offenders have varying sentences spanning from two years to life. “In minimum security they are usually getting prepared for release,” Clouston said. “They are a lower risk to the community, but that is not to say they are low risk.” Getting inmates ready for release entails escorted trips into the community for Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings, counseling, family funerals and work experience. editor@vicnews.com

Climbing to new heights Malti Devi eyes Mt. Kilimanjaro trek as a personal challenge and a quest help orphans Daniel Palmer News staff
or most people, the prospect of climbing one of the world’s tallest mountains might seem more than a little intimidating. Months of training, travelling halfway around the world, dealing with altitude sickness, health risks and unreliable weather are challenges and luxuries few can afford and even fewer crave. But Malti Devi isn’t your average woman. “I want to find out what I’m capable of,” says Devi, her eyes widening with intention. In August, Devi, 37, plans to summit Mt. Kilimanjaro, not only to test her endurance, but to raise funds for Children of Haiti, a City of Langford charity that has already raised more than $250,000 to build and operate an orphanage near Portau-Prince after the country’s devastating earthquake in 2010. But it’s her personal climb from the dusty farming fields of the South Pacific that make Devi’s story so inspiring. She grew up as the youngest of four daughters on a sugarcane farm on the outskirts of Tavarau, Fiji. “I was one of those little kids that stood on the side of the road, selling vegetables in bare feet in the gravel,” she recalls, once a sponsor child herself. “Remembering those days, coming home, being hungry, you never outlive that,” she says. “And I don’t want to outlive it, because that’s what has kept me grounded.” At 21, her family sent her to live with relatives in Chilliwack, hoping for better opportunities. She arrived with $65 in her pocket, and admits her naiveté would have been her undoing, were it not for several serendipitous people she met along the way.
F
“Academically, I was smart, but I was not street smart,” she says. She learnt English working in a fast food restaurant and by doing accounting work at a local agriculture company, but knew she was destined for greater things. “(My first employers) took a shot in the dark, they didn’t know me or owe me anything, but they helped me. I want to do that for somebody else.” To simplify the petite, 5-foot-2 entrepreneur’s accomplishments in the 16 years since coming to Canada would be a disservice. Her formal training is in graphic design, a venture that brought her to Victoria in 2000 to attend the Pacific Academy of Design. But in an average whirlwind week the Fijian native also does photography, marketing for a biofuel company and still manages to fit in several hours of daily training for her climb. Mt. Kilimanjaro is the world’s tallest freestanding peak at 5,898 metres and second in elevation only to Mt. Everest. Tanzanian officials don’t permit climbers to make the trek in less than five days, and despite its reputation as the least punishing of the global seven summits, Devi cautions the task is no casual jaunt. A veteran of regional peaks, she has a habit of bringing a pair of high heels on each climb. She straps them on at the summit, “like a race car changing its tires,” and captures proof of her feat. Kilimanjaro will be no exception, says the self-professed tomboy. “In Fiji, the ultimate goal is to be a housewife – to cook, clean and sew,” she says, her confidence belying her humble roots. “I want to be that, and be a businesswoman and a humanitarian all at the same time.” Judging from her list of accomplishments, it seems she’s already well on her way to conquering those mountains. To donate to Children for Haiti or sponsor Devi on her climb, visit malti.ca. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Guide dog puppies need foster homes B.C. Guide Dog Services is looking for volunteers in the Greater Victoria area to help train puppies to aid blind people and children with autism. The role of the “puppy raiser” is to socialize and teach the dog basic skills and obedience. The dog will stay with the volunteer for about a year. “Puppy raisers need to be able to bring the dog
pretty much wherever they go, so the role is really best suited for retirees or at-home workers,” said Linda Thornton, puppy manager.

Metchosin farmer Dieter Eisenhawer is surprised to find that slugs on his organically grown strawberries. Eisenhawer is pleased Metchosin banned genetically modified organisms.
Metchosin envisions Island-wide GMO ban Charla Huber News staff
Metchosin is spearheading a plan for Island and coastal communities to be free of genetically engineered organisms (GMOs). The district banned the growing or selling of GMOs in November and this month prepared a similar motion to be brought to the Association of Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities meeting in April. The annual AVICC convention will be held in Sooke this year. “I think there is too much uncertainty (around) GMOs and what they do to the environment,” said Metchosin Coun.
Moralea Milne. “All of this takes a lot of time to find out. Think about how long it took for people to realize cigarettes were bad for us and caused cancer.” Some key concerns Milne listed include the proliferation of “super-weeds,” increased use of pesticides and the transfer of pollen from GMO plants to those that aren’t. A certified organic farmer could lose status if their crops are tainted by GMO plants, she said. “Vancouver Island and coastal communities are isolated from the rest of B.C.,” Milne said. Given the environment and wind patterns on the coast, it is
possible to be a genetically engineered-free zone, she added. A related motion – from the Okanagan-Similkameen regional district – passed at the Union of B.C. municipalities last year regarding organic tree fruits. “A number of countries won’t accept genetically engineered crops,” said Milne, addressing organic farmers’ concerns. Last year Metchosin brought a motion to decriminalize marijuana to the AVICC convention. It passed, was forwarded to the Union of B.C. Municipalities’ convention and passed there as well. Milne hopes to see this motion have the same success. charla@goldstreamgazette.com
Cats and dog saved from house fire Eight cats and a dog were rescued from a Langford house fire Saturday evening. The fire broke out in the kitchen of a basement suite in the home, in the 1000-block of Shaw Ave. The tenant was cooking and tried to contain the blaze with an extinguisher, while another called 911. They escaped unharmed, and told firefighters about the animals inside.
Firefighters made four trips into the home. The homeowner, who breeds cats, is in California and couldn’t be reached by News Gazette deadline. The fire was contained with most of the damage in the kitchen. The upper level of the home sustained some smoke damage. A veterinarian was called on the night of the fire and deemed all the animals healthy. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Fortunately for Greater Victoria commuters, the one-day strike action is just that – one day. However, that one day will see hundreds of extra cars, bikes and pedestrians on the roads, trying to get to work and school. Gridlock won’t begin to describe the traffic chaos we may be Mediation may part of. be the way out of Transit workers’ action has been Transit impasse job moderate so far with little visible interruption, but this strike will clearly affect everyone in the region. Longer strikes more than 10 years ago seriously impacted seniors, students and those with low incomes who regularly rely on transit. A 1984 strike, which lasted three months, crippled Victoria’s economy, and like mullets and Hammer pants, none of us wants to see that again. The two sides clearly aren’t motivated to reach an agreement, in fact they don’t even agree on what the main stumbling blocks are in the dispute – the union insists it’s all about the small buses and the lower-paid drivers, B.C. Transit says there are other issues at play, including wages and benefits. The two sides have both dug in their heels and the public is suffering, moderately so far, with only certain runs cancelled. But with the Tuesday all-day strike planned, it shows that an outside authority needs to step in and get it done. It’s amazing what sides in a dispute will do when the crisis hits. Just look at the NHL. They got a deal done when the season was on the brink of being cancelled. The best solution for everyone is for the two sides to get back to the bargaining table and realize that compromise is the only solution. The union has to be realistic and unafraid of new technology, and management must assure workers that it’s not out to crush the union. What do you think?

OPINION
Decision to not replace auditor general political A legislative committee has determined that the time has come to replace B.C.’s current auditor general. John Doyle, with considerable credentials, accepted the position in 2007. He is to be commended on doing an exceptionally fine job as the watchdog for the people of British Columbia. As auditor general, one of Mr. Doyle’s mandates was to investigate and ensure that any misdeeds, questionable hidden agendas and scandals of the governing party were brought to the attention of the citizens of British Columbia. He has succeeded in this function by exposing the present government’s secrecy in the Basi-Virk political corruption case, the highly controversial use of deferral accounts for B.C. Hydro and mismanagement of financial accountability. So, why was Mr. Doyle’s contract not extended for a second term? Obviously, the Liberals on the legislative committee, who made this childish, vindictive and self-serving decision, have the majority vote and decided that Mr. Doyle was uncovering and exposing too many political hot buttons that the Liberals had hoped the public would forget. This decision not to renew Mr. Doyle’s mandate is a travesty of justice and should be reassessed. The public deserves the real reason for Mr. Doyle’s rejection for a second term. Some advice to the present governing party: If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen! Martin L. Battle Victoria

The decision not to reappoint B.C. auditor general John Doyle was childish and vindictive, says a letterwriter. B.C. Liberals – led by Premier Christy Clark – want a lap dog not a watchdog of taxpayer’s money. No wonder his cartoon character says, “We thought it was time for a change!!” What sin – exactly – did Auditor General Doyle commit? Was it revealing the financial contributions Timberwest made to the Liberals before the land deal? Or raising alarm bells over the use of massive deferral accounts at B.C. Hydro? Maybe exposing serious issues of financial accountability of the legislature itself? Surely there is a benefit to having continuity in the auditor general’s role of attempting to have open and accountable government – something the premier promised during the Liberal leadership race. Ron Faris Saanich
Booze laws encourage drinking I am always amazed how people can rally for any cause, regardless whether it is worthwhile or not, but don’t seem too concerned about drunk drivers. Why are British Columbians
drinking more? The answer is easy. The provincial government has made it so easy to drink whenever and wherever you want. How many provinces allow booze to be served in pubs until 4 a.m., at sporting events, movie theatres or BYOB to a restaurant? Drinking laws need to be even tougher. This very “Liberal” government is more interested in the bucks the booze makes for them. It appears people’s lives don’t count. Change is needed now. Eileen Nattrass Saanichton
CPP, EI and medical are benefits - not taxes For the second year in a row, the B.C. Taxpayers Federation is spreading misinformation about payroll tax and MSP premiums. MSP premiums are not a tax they are a user fee. Depending on your net income, you can have all or part of your MSP premiums subsidized. The provincial government has nothing to do with CPP or EI premiums and only those who earn more than $50,000 a year pay the maximum CPP contributions. You do not pay CPP premiums on the first $3,500 you earn each year, and you do not pay CPP when you are under 18 and over 70. The more you contribute to your CPP, the more you get back later in life. As for EI, hopefully you get some back in lean times. There was no EI or CPP during the Depression. In fact, their was no income tax until midway through the First World War. Employment Insurance, then called Unemployment Insurance, commenced in 1941 as a result of the Great Depression of the 1930s. Andre Mollon Langford

VicPD, commissioner in delicate dance over cameras Daniel Palmer News staff
Top cops at the Victoria Police Department are hoping to convince B.C.’s privacy watchdog that her report on the automated licence plate recognition program misses the mark. VicPD is in discussions with the office of B.C. privacy commissioner Elizabeth Denham to address “inaccurate characterizations” contained in the report, said Insp. Steve Ing, who heads the department’s professional standards unit.
“We do, on a legal, technical basis, take issue with some of the findings that are contained in the commissioner’s report,” said Ing, who met with Denham’s assistant commissioner last week. “But that should not be construed as we’re not complying with the recommendations,” he said. VicPD is using cruiser-mounted RCMP cameras to scan licence plates and check them against police databases, generating “hit” data. It allows police to identify stolen vehicles and prohibited drivers, but the system also
flags registered owners involved in court action, parolees and even people associated to others with criminal records. In November, Denham found VicPD is violating privacy rights by not immediately deleting obsolete data and by including too many non-traffic related categories to generate hits. The RCMP delete the obsolete information as they receive it daily. VicPD’s police board voted in a closeddoor meeting last month to continue to use the technology while it works with the RCMP in an attempt to comply with the commissioner’s recommendations.
Chief Jamie Graham said an RCMP officer will be attending the next police board meeting to explain to the board how the information is processed. “In theory, we have a right to look at licence plates,” Graham told a crowd at a James Bay Neighbourhood Association meeting Jan. 9. Ing plans to report back to the police board within two months on his discussions with the RCMP and Denham’s office. The privacy commissioner has the legislative authority to enforce its recommendations, should it feel VicPD is not complying. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Letters are going out to more than 38,000 people in B.C. whose personal data was copied onto a data stick and shared without permission last year. Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid announced details of a data breach that led the ministry to fire seven health ministry staff and contractors involved in patient research related to approval of drugs for B.C.’s Pharmacare program. MacDiarmid said there were no names attached to the health data, which included personal health numbers, gender, date of birth and postal codes, as well as information from Statistics Canada’s Canadian community health survey. The data did include hospital admissions and discharges, medication history and Medical Services Plan claims. The Statistics Canada survey included information about patient health status, mental, physical and sexual health, lifestyle information and use of health services. Three separate breaches of ministry privacy policy have been identified so far. None included names, social insurance numbers or financial information, and no evidence has been found that the information was used for anything other than medical research, MacDiarmid said. An internal ministry and police investigation is ongoing, and the ministry would not disclose the identity of anyone involved. MacDiarmid said there were two data breach incidents in June 2012. The first one prompted the letters to be sent. The second was a data stick provided to a ministry contractor containing similar information on five million individuals, including length of hospital stay and health condition, such as whether they have diabetes. The third case of a data stick shared without permission, password protection or encryption took place in October, 2010. It contained diagnostic information on 21,000 people for 262 chronic conditions, including prescription history for certain drugs.

Movie business feeling the squeeze sioner. “Budgets have dropped quite significantly,” she said. “Even the big blockbuster movies have smaller budgets than they used to.” While lucrative franchises like the X-Men series have rolled through the region in the past, made-for-TV films have typically been the bread and butter of local film crews, Gilbert said. She attributes the downturn to the global recession, a strong Canadian dollar and the exclusion of the Capital Region from B.C.’s distant tax credit, an incentive offered to production companies who work outside major metropolitan areas. “We have had a lot of production over the last few years that have set up in Victoria, but try to do at least 70 per cent of their locations outside the

The province won’t be matching generous tax credits offered by Ontario and Quebec either, said Bill Bennett, B.C.’s minister of community, sport and cultural development. “I understand why the film and TV and digital media industries are concerned,” Bennett said. “What the film industry seems to want mainly is for us to match the tax credits that are available in Ontario, and we can’t do that.” Bennett said he is working on a new policy that will “clean up and simplify” the business environment for the industry, which is looking at further costs as B.C. prepares to phase out the harmonized sales tax in March. dpalmer@vicnews.com – with files from Tom Fletcher,

Jeneece Place one year later Charla Huber News staff
When Keith Jones Jr. was born Oct. 22, weighing three pounds, two ounces, doctors told his mother, Jessica Jones, he’d be staying in the hospital for a while. Jones wasn’t due until January. On Nov. 7 the infant was transferred from B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver to Victoria General Hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit. Mom was offered a bed at Jeneece Place, just across the parking lot. “It’s really nice here, it’s far from home, but it feels like a home, it’s very warm and welcoming,” said Jones, a Duncan resident who went home with her baby in mid-December. Her story is one of many to come out of Jeneece Place in the year since it opened to provide respite for family members of pediatric patients at VGH. When she’s not providing a shoulder to lean on, the facility’s house manager, Christina Peacock, is busy vacuuming, making beds or doing laundry. “Most importantly I welcome families and show them the house,” she said. Jeneece Place can house 10 families at a time and is often at or over capacity. Some families have even slept in campers or a school bus in the parking lot. The client families are generally divided into three categories: those with premature or sick babies, people with scheduled appointments and those dealing with injuries from emergency situations such as fires or car crashes. Priority is given to non-residents. Among the nearly 300 family members who have stayed at the house are people from Prince Edward Island and France. “But, our focus is families for Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands,” Peacock said. When there is space, local families have used the house.

Jessica Jones stayed at Jeneece Place while her son was treated at the neonatal intensive care unit in Victoria General Hospital. One situation saw a mother who had a C-section and doesn’t drive stay there so she could go to VGH to feed her baby every three hours. Jeneece Place is also open for day-use for parents to use the shower, kitchen or to just savour a cup of tea away from the hospital. “Often parents will sleep in the hospital with their child,” Peacock said. “They just step out of the hospital for a while to help take a little of the pressure off.” charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Winterlab festival features innovation Sensory experience will cure the winter blues Kyle Slavin News staff
The sights, sounds and smells of a post-apocalyptic city in ruins are yours to explore, as your tour guides – a group of clowns – take you on a storied ride through the city. It’s a movie, it’s a live performance and it makes for a “weird, touching and beautiful” theatre experience. “It crosses the line between being a film experience and being a live experience,” Janet Munsil says of Il Pixel Rosso’s And the Birds Fell From the Sky. “It’s a very immersive experience because your vision is taken away and replaced with a video. And there’s audio. And then there’s a live performance going on around you. … You can’t see the performance, but you can feel the performance. Things are being put in your hand, and you can smell
Photo courtesy of Il Pixel Rosso
Il Pixel Rosso’s part-film, part-live performance show And the Birds Fell From the Sky will show as part of Intrepid Theatre’s upcoming festival, Winterlab. And the Birds Fell From the Sky uses video goggles, headphones and live performers to take viewers on the immersive tour of a post-apocalyptic city in ruins. the performance in places.” This “sensory experience” is one of four international shows coming to Vic-
toria as part of Intrepid Theatre’s new festival, Winterlab. Munsil, Intrepid’s artistic director, says the new, small festival will expose theatregoers to some of the “most exciting independent theatre-work out there in the world.” While she points to And the Birds’ unique form of sto-
rytelling as innovative (“It’s not audience participation – only two people are in the audience – but you’re both completely immersed in the experience.”), she says all the shows have qualities that make them special, and a treat to have in Victoria. Also showing at the festival is Vanessa Van Durme’s Look Mummy, I’m Dancing, Wonderheads’ Grim & Fischer, and two visual performance pieces using overhead projector animation from Daniel Barrow. Winterlab will also feature a workshop from Il Pixel Rosso on combining technology with live performance, and a Playwright’s Cabaret, readings of new works by local playwrights. “It’s the most cold and boring time of the year. It’s a good time to shake yourself awake with some really extraordinary theatre experiences – stuff like you’ve never seen before,” Munsil says. Winterlab runs Jan. 23 to Feb. 3, with shows running at Intrepid Theatre Club (#2-1609 Blanshard St.) and Metro Studio (1411 Quadra St.). Tickets, from $18 to a $69 festival pass, can be purchased online at ticketrocket. org or by calling 250-590-6291.

Dog book helps SPCA
2013 Residential Branch Chipping
Sidney author Bill Keirans celebrates local pups in his new book The Dogs of Sidney by the Sea. For more than a year Kierans, a downtown Sidney resident, has been collecting candid photos of local dogs and recording background and anecdotes about their life. They have been combined into a promotional book called The Dogs of Sidney by the Sea which is now available. The anecdotes include favoured pastimes, history, frequented downtown businesses, regular routines and other endearing characteristics of popular pooches. Most of the pictures were taken in downtown Sidney but some were snapped in nearby communities as well. No book about the dogs of Sidney would be complete without a sample of those hardworking dogs in downtown businesses that welcome customers and maintain a good business tone. The book is sold for $9.95, some of which is retained by the vendor with the remainder going to production cost recovery. After costs are recovered, additional proceeds will be donated to the S.P.C.A. The book is available at Tanners Books on Beacon Avenue in Sidney. llavin@vicnews.com

Jessica Renfrew is team-first and there’s no other way about it. The selfless basketball player has hit a new level this year as a regular starter for the UVic Vikes. On Tuesday the 20-year-old was named Canada West’s Athlete of the Week for all sports, having helped the Vikes to a pair of road wins. Renfrew scored 21 points in the Vikes’ 72-51 win over the Winnipeg Wesmen and 23 points in a 79-62 win over the Manitoba Bisons on Friday and Saturday to win the award. It’s all part of the Renfrew’s arrival as an all-star calibre player in the CIS. “She won’t see it that way,” said Vikes coach Dani Sinclair. “Renfrew just wants what’s best for the team. She’s very unselfish. Nobody works harder than her. She’s in the gym every single day, even in the summer, and it’s not for personal accolades, but because she wants the team to succeed.” “I can’t remember any award that is as honouring as this one,” Renfrew said. “There are a lot of great basketball players in my league and my teammates
have been super congratulatory (about Athlete of the Week), but it’s only because of our team success. I couldn’t have done it without the support of the team.” It might sound cliché, but only to a point. Before Renfrew joined the Vikes she was named Claremont secondary’s high school athlete of the year for her contributions to the provincial champion soccer team and basketball team that made the final-four. Only thing is, she’s not exactly sure which year she won it. “Grade 11, I think.” Renfrew’s now in her third season with the Vikes and is part of a core of younger players with fellow third-year Cassandra Goodis who bring promise to the rest of this season, and beyond. Already Renfrew has seen the Vikes shift through major adversity. Her first year under former coach Brian Cheng was “a huge learning curve” playing behind CIS MVP Kayla Dykstra and veteran Vanessa Forstbauer. Then came the surprise second half to her rookie year, when injuries ended Dykstra’s and Forstbauer’s seasons, which led to regular floor time for Renfrew. Then came the Vikes’ rebuild last season under new head coach Rich Chambers (currently on leave). “I played a lot, and started, but it didn’t go as well as we’d hoped,” Renfrew said.
During those years Renfrew and Sinclair furthere cemented their relationship, one that started back in 2004 when Sinclair was the assistant coach on the 2004 B.C. Summer Games girls basketball team. Renfrew and Vikes second-year guard Shaylyn Crisp, also of Claremont, was on that team. “Even back then Renfrew showed signs of being able to play at this level,” Sinclair said. “She and I have built a relationship over a number of years, and I joke that I’m harder on her than anyone else, and I might be, so maybe that does go back to the fact that we’ve had a coachplayer relationship for so long.” “It really started to develop this year,” said Renfrew. “With me getting older and (Sinclair) starting to understand each other better, and our desires to be better.” Key to Renfrew’s breakout success this year are the additions she’s made to her game. “She has a pull-up shot now, shoots three consistently, and always has run the floor very well. She’s also become a better defender, a more well-rounded player.” Statistically, fifth-year Vikes guard Debbie Yeboah is third among scorers in the Canada West with 223 points, an average of 18.6 per game. Renfrew is 12th with with 177 points (14.8 ppg). sports@vicnews.com

Braves get own room Travis Paterson News staff
Travis Paterson/News staff
Norm Kelly, co-owner of the Saanich Braves, helped build the team it’s own dressing room, a rare asset among the junior B ranks.
Full Of
Opportunities
After 45 years, the Saanich Braves have a room of their own. Last Friday (Jan. 11) Braves players walked out of their brand new dressing room onto the ice of George R. Pearkes Arena. Albeit, the Westshore Wolves put a damper on it by beating the Braves 3-1. But it’s still a clean slate for the Braves, who hope to use the room to turn things around during the team’s current mini-slide. Procuring the new dressing room has been coowner Norm Kelly’s baby for much of the past few months. Among his research was a visit to Save-OnFoods Memorial Centre to see the Royals’ room. The Braves dressing room is a former storage area, and it isn’t as big as the Royals’ room. But Kelly’s one proud papa nonetheless. “It changes everything for the guys,” Kelly said.
“They come in, take their stuff off, and go home.” Until last week the Braves players took their gear home with them after games, which is typical for most players on the 39 junior-B teams throughout B.C. Now they leave can leave it in a secure room where it can dry. “No need (for players) to cart their gear to and from the rink anymore. No need to bring their own towel,” Kelly said. Each stall is designed the same with a place for everything. Elbow pads go on top. Skates hang on either side. Running gear and others go under the seat, which airs out with holes. It’s big league stuff. Now the Braves just hope to to live up to it. The Braves visit the Peninsula Panthers tonight (Jan. 18), 7:30 p.m. at Panorama Recreation Center, are at Campbell River tomorrow, and back at Panorama Tuesday vs. the Panthers at 7:30 p.m. Full story online at vicnews.com. sports@vicnews.com

Give them power. Give them confidence. Give them control.
GIVE THEM A PAPER ROUTE! 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 confidence, 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.
It’s so easy to get started… call

30-year restoration nets show-winning ‘32 Ford pickup Del Basaraba was 18 years old in 1971 and working six days a week loading box cars at a Williams Lake sawmill when he was smitten. He was heading to a ALYN EDWARDS fast food restaurant for CLASSIC his lunch break when RIDES he spotted a pickup truck and a car trailer carrying three old vehicles: a 1931 Ford Victoria, a 1933 Ford five-window coupe and a 1932 Ford pickup truck. One look at that old pickup and he knew he had to have it. Del met Joe Astleford from Bella Coola who had parked his rig in the gas station for exposure because he wanted to sell the vintage vehicles. Joe had purchased Del Basaraba the pickup from the was 18 years old Riske Creek Cattle in 1971 when Company ranch bought this 1932 several hours west of Ford pickup Williams Lake.

A FEW REASONS TO WORK AT VICTORIA HYUNDAI

Del Basaraba paid $1,600 for this well-used 1932 Ford pickup truck in 1971. It had been owned by the Riske Creek Cattle Company.
fenders and a rusty box. But Del didn’t balk at the $1,600 asking price and went straight to his bank. He was amazed to get a loan for the full amount without putting up any collateral and the pickup was his. Del had grown up an hour from the north central B.C. community of Williams Lake beside his father’s sawmills. He attended a country grade school built by his father for the children of his workers which was just a few steps from the family home. Later, the family moved half way closer to town as Del and his older brother started high school. One day his brother was driving Del to school in his 1952 Ford convertible when he lost control, left the road and hit a stump, totalling the car. Del was 14 when he bought a 1953 Ford sedan and completely restored it using the engine from his brother’s wrecked car. “None of the young teenagers had licenses in those days,” he recalls. “I used to park my car on the edge of town and walk where I wanted to go. When we took my car to Vancouver, older friends with licenses would drive.”
The year after buying the 1932 Ford pickup, Del married Claudine Weil. “She worked in the mill office and one of my friends bet me $20 that she wouldn’t go out with me,” Del says. The teenage couple pooled their money to order a new propane tank truck which launched their propane delivery business. As the years passed, the business prospered and grew. The couple celebrated the birth of two daughters who would ride in the back of the old pickup during parades through Williams Lake. But storing the old Ford truck under a tarp at the propane company’s yard would nearly cause the truck’s demise. Sparks from a burn barrel ignited the tarp and, before Del and his employees could put the fire out, the front of the pickup had been consumed. “In some ways, that was the best thing that could have happened,” he says. “It got me going on the restoration.” But there were several false starts with a series mechanics that did little more than take the truck apart and lose valuable parts which caused the project to stall for years.

In 1996, one of the mechanics working in the propane company truck maintenance shop took a shine to the pile of rusty remains and helped Del tackle the restoration. Curt Hoffman proved to be the catalyst to move the restoration forward. Everything was disassembled to the smallest pieces, including the original frame. The restoration literally began from the ground up starting with riveting the frame back together. When the propane business was sold in 2007, Del and Claudine moved to Kamloops intent on finally completing the restoration of the truck. “It is very rare to see a 1932 Ford pickup truck restored to its original condition” –Del Basaraba In 1932, the Ford Motor Company introduced the flathead V8 engine in its passenger and commercial vehicles while still building the lower-priced four cylinder models. “Everything is different on the 1932 V8 engine. It’s the first year for the V8 engine with parts being very expensive and you just can’t find them,” Del says, recalling the painstaking details of restoring the truck with every part exactly as original. The truck is painted Vermilion Red and Raven Bßlack, original 1932 Ford colours. Del and Claudine trailer the truck to shows along with their 1956 Ford Thunderbird. “It is very rare to see a 1932 Ford pickup truck restored

Lexus hybrids pass half-million mark The Chrysler 300 Motown Edition comes packed with 100 tracks by legendary Motown performers loaded into the audio system.
Chrysler launches campaign for 2013 Chrysler 300 Motown Edition METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
If cars are the heart of the Motor City, music is its soul. The new 2013 Chrysler 300 Motown Edition pays tribute to the Motor City’s resurgence and determination through Detroit-born style and world-class ingenuity. Harking back to the days when bright work ruled Woodward and Jefferson Avenues, this limited-edition Chrysler flagship sedan includes bright chrome front and rear fascia accents, mirror caps, door handles and daylight-opening surround, and a unique Mopar bright chrome grille with seven sculpted horizontal blades. Large 20-inch polished “heritage” design aluminum wheels provide an elegant look, while its touring-tuned suspension delivers world-class levels of ride, handling and comfort.
Completing this Chrysler flagship sedan’s curb appeal are black-accented Chrysler wing badges and “Motown” fender badges that transcend the city’s rhythm and spirit. Available exterior colours include Bright White, Gloss Black, Deep Cherry Red and Jazz Blue. To be sure the soul of Motown can be heard and felt, this limited-edition Chrysler sedan includes 100 tracks from original Motown recording artists loaded on the Uconnect 8.4’s SD card reader. State-of-the-art Uconnect 8.4 provides Chrysler 300 Motown passengers with the segment’s largest touchscreen display (8.4-inch) and mobile infotainment, connectivity and multimedia features. Delivering a sound experience as the artist intended, the segment-exclusive 10-speaker Beats Audio system with 12-channel amplifier and proprietary Beats Audio algorithm is also available.

Oldest Ford vehicle returns home to kick off Henry Ford 150th celebration A key part of Ford Motor Company’s heritage returns home as a Model A built in 1903 is again with the Ford family, kicking off the year-long celebration of the 150th anniversary of the birth of company founder Henry Ford. Considered the oldest surviving Ford vehicle, the 1903 Model A was unveiled today to Ford Motor Company employees by Executive Chairman Bill Ford, who purchased the vehicle at an auction in October. “The timing was perfect to bring this key part of Ford heritage back to the family as we celebrate the 150th anniversary of my greatgrandfather’s birth and his vision to improve people’s lives by making cars affordable for the average family,” said Bill Ford. “His vision to build cars that are reasonably priced, reliable and efficient still resonates and defines our vision today as well.” MotorCities National Heritage Area and the Henry Ford Heritage Association teamed up with more than 30 Henry Ford-related collaborators to coordinate the year-long celebration of events. These activities, highlighting Ford’s legacy, contributions and influence, include tours, educational programming, dramatic re-enactments, lectures, integration and special events at auto shows and more. A dedicated website, www. henryford150.com, is also launching that includes an interactive timeline of Ford’s life, tours, a calendar of 2013 events and information about efforts to
this interactive 15-minute play and hear how he was inspired to build the world’s universal car. Guests also will find out why the Model T was so revolutionary and how Henry Ford’s visionary thinking and hard work enabled him to put the world on wheels.

The oldest surviving Ford production car, a 1903 Model A, was recently purchased at auction by Bill Ford.
preserve Henry Ford’s heritage. Henry Ford’s 150th legacy will be celebrated in 2013 through a variety of events. Some of these include: • Coming Together: A Celebration of Henry Ford – July 27, The Henry Ford Estate Fair Lane, Dearborn, Mich. This free community event will bring Henry Ford to “life” and feature many of his little-known interests and contributions. • Maker Faire – July 27 and 28, The Henry Ford, Dearborn, Mich. A two-day, family-friendly festival of invention, creativity
and resourcefulness. This year’s celebration of the Maker movement will include a special program to recognize innovators. • Discovering Henry Ford shows at The Henry Ford – April through December. A presenter-facilitated multimedia program using a large touch screen monitor to access digital assets (movies, photos) in themed 20-minute shows (Henry Ford the Tinkerer, Henry Ford and the Model T). • Henry’s T – Dramatic presentation at Greenfield Village – May-August. Visitors will meet Henry Ford in
The Model A returning home played a pivotal role in Ford Motor Company history. In July 1903, Henry Ford faced a daunting situation: The company’s cash balance stood at less than $250. A much-needed cash infusion arrived on July 13, 1903: One full payment and two deposits totaling $1,320 for three Model A cars kept Ford Motor Company afloat. The car revealed today is a red 1903 Model A Rear Entry Tonneau. It is believed to be car No. 3, chassis No. 30, and the lone survivor of the group of three Model A cars sold on that day. The vehicle was auctioned through RM Auctions in October in Hershey, Pa. “The Model A helped keep our company going during a difficult time and enabled my great-grandfather to continue pursuing his vision of putting the world on wheels,” said Bill Ford. “We look forward to carrying that same spirit of innovation forward as we develop new technologies for safer, cleaner, more fuel-efficient vehicles.” For more on the yearlong celebration, check out www.henryford150.com

Audi takes a seat – and turns it into the R18 Ultra Chair METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
The seemingly humble household chair has just undergone a Vorsprung durch Technik makeover inspired by the Audi sports prototype that competed in the Le Mans 24-hour race this year, resulting in a tremendous 1-2-3 finish. The visually stunning R18 Ultra Chair was revealed earlier this month at the prestigious Design Miami show to a global audience. Masterminded by designers Clemens Weisshaar and Reed Kram, and developed using the most efficient and sustainable processes, the R18 Ultra Chair is made from a mix of carbon fibre, carbon and high-strength sheet aluminum. This combination guarantees maximum stability and comfort with minimum consumption of materials, and also ensures that the chair is almost feather-light to lift. In conjunction with engineers at the Audi Lightweight Construction Centre, the designers used the data to optimize their prototype, resulting in a finished product which embodies

Hyundai is preparing to integrate the next generation of smartphone technology into its vehicles.
The Audi R18 Ultra Chair was developed using the same technology employed in Audi racing cars.
Hyundai previews ‘Connectivity Concept’
the principles of Audi ultra lightweight construction – through the intelligent deployment of advanced materials, high strength and exceptionally low weight have been achieved – in this case a total weight of just 2.2 kilograms.
METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM Hyundai is harnessing the versatility of today’s smartphones to create the first prototype of its own Connectivity Concept. The technology, previewed near the manufacturer’s European headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany, showcases Hyundai’s expertise in creating clever new technology for its range of cars and is expected as soon as 2015. Shown on Hyundai’s award-winning New Generation i30, the Connectivity Concept allows the user to lock and unlock the car by placing their smartphone over an NFC-tag (Near Field Communication), negating the need for a traditional key fob. Once inside, the device is placed in the centre console, which then activates the user’s profile by streaming content to the i30’s seven-inch touchscreen. All user content such as music, phone
contacts, radio station preferences and individual profile settings are displayed. In addition the device’s battery is recharged wirelessly while in use. Multiple users can be synced with car, meaning set-up is quick and easy as the Connectivity Concept in the i30 tailors in-car settings according to each driver’s smartphone. Furthermore, the Connectivity Concept utilizes MirrorLink to wirelessly access and control personal content through the touchscreen including navigation, internet-based applications and multimedia. Hyundai has already announced a joint development agreement with Broadcom Corporation, which will power the next generation of connected cars. With this technology, functions such as infotainment, telematics and other driver assistance systems like reverse parking cameras and lane departure warning will be integrated into Hyundai’s cars.

Cadillac ATS is named 2013 Best of the Best METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
Cadillac’s ATS is the winner of the 2013 Best of the Best award, the Canadian Automotive Jury (CAJ) announced live on CTV’s Canada AM Wednesday. The ATS beat out 11 other finalists, which included a wide variety of vehicles available to Canadian newcar buyers, including sedans, coupes, hatchbacks, SUVs, crossovers and sports and performance cars. The 2013 Best of the Best award was to be presented to General Motors for its Cadillac ATS Jan. 17 in Montreal at the opening of the Montreal Motor Show. Also on Monday, the ATS was named North American Car of the Year at the Detroit Auto Show. The CAJ’s Best of the Best finalists don’t exclusively focus on a specific model within a family of vehicles or only “all-new” models, and they include the reigning Best of the Best winner from the previous year, which is an automatic finalist. For 2013, four European, four Japanese, three domestic and one Korean models made up the Best of the Best finalists, which, along with the winning ATS, included the following: Audi A7 (2012 Best of the Best winner); Buick Verano; Ford Fusion; Honda Accord; Kia Rio; Mazda CX-5; Porsche Boxster; Porsche 911; Scion FR-S; Subaru BRZ and Volkswagen Golf R.
The top four cars vying for the Best of the Best award were the ATS, Accord, Rio and CX-5. CAJ chooses its finalists based on the following criteria: style, design (exterior and interior), ride and handling, performance, ergonomics, comfort, space, cargo capacity, fuel efficiency and noise, vibration and harshness. One of the key considerations for choosing the winner is market significance – what the car will do to change things for both the automaker and the automotive market. The ATS marks such a massive shift for Cadillac, and General The Canadian Automotive Jury has named the Cadillac ATS as its pick as the Best of the Best for 2013.

Subaru is the only auto manufacturer with the distinction of earning IIHS Top Safety Pick awards for every model it builds.
Subaru earns IIHS Top Safety Pick for all models, four years running METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
Subaru Canada, Inc. has announced the U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has recognized Subaru as the only automaker earning a 2013 Top Safety Pick award for every model it builds. This is the fourth consecutive year Subaru has earned this distinction. New for 2013, Subaru’s Legacy and Outback models (built after August 2012) have also won the brand new Top Safety Pick + accolade. To reward 2013 models with superior crash protection, IIHS has newly created the Top Safety Pick + award, which requires good ratings for occupant protection in at least four of five IIHS evaluations, including the new
Small Overlap test, with no less than acceptable in any test. IIHS introduced the small overlap test in 2012 to further improve occupant protection in frontal crashes. While most automakers design their vehicles for good performance in the IIHS moderate overlap frontal test and the federal government’s full-width frontal test, many haven’t addressed the issue of small overlap crashes, which can account for nearly a quarter of all frontal crashes involving serious or fatal injury to front seat occupants. This test replicates what happens when the front corner of a car collides with another vehicle or a static object like a tree or utility pole. The IIHS will announce additional winners as it continues to test models. Results for small SUVs are expected this spring.
