Making sense of immunologyDr. Brad Nelson, director of the Deeley Research Centre at the B.C. Cancer Agency, explains how immunology is being used to determine the behaviour of cancer cells and how a patient’s own immune system can help fight the disease. He was among the research team members invited to give more information about locally-based research activities, at the Westshore Chamber of Commerce monthly mixer at Saunders Subaru.

Off-kilter intersection getting much-needed attentionRealignment, traffic signals in future for Goldstream Ave./ Leigh Rd. cornersKatherine EngqvistNews Gazette staff
The City of Langford is gearing up to take on the Leigh Road and Goldstream Avenue intersection.
“We will be realigning the inter-section and signalizing it,” said Langford’s director of engineering
Michelle Mahovlich, noting that some work is already underway.
While it may sound simple, it’s not. “It’s a bit of a juggling act,” she said.
That intersection is home to a number of existing underground and overhead utilities, includ-ing two large watermains, hydro ducts, sanitary sewer mains and numerous overhead service wires.
“It’s not an easy switch,” she said. “We just have to design around them.” She noted the ame-nities in the area, such as side-walks and bike lanes, will also
remain, with some adjustments to fit the new design of the inter-section. The intersection will also include left turn lanes in all direc-tions.
“The cost is not an insignificant one,” Mahovlich said, adding the estimate for the project is approxi-mately $1 million.
With some investigative work done between Christmas and New Year’s to confirm the exact loca-tions of some utilities, Mahovlich said they are ready to begin relo-cating utility poles.
She anticipates BC Hydro will
be the first on site to begin mov-ing their poles and lines, with that work estimated to begin in the next two to four weeks.
With the utility poles being re-adjusted, the various service pro-viders will also have to adjust their own lines without or with minimal interruption to their services.
Mahovlich noted the City is try-ing to do all of this work in the least disruptive way possible to traffic. The strategy could include some night work, a situation for which the noise factor is being taken into consideration for neigh-
bouring residents.With this realignment also
comes the permanent closure of Donna Avenue at Leigh Road, due to its proximity to the intersec-tion. A new connection will be made between Donna and Harts-dale Drive, allowing vehicle access to Goldstream Avenue. Mahovlich noted that permanent connection will be established well before the closure, to get traffic flowing through the new route.

A home in the 4100 block of Sooke Rd. was destroyed by fire following an early morning blaze Friday that completely engulfed the building.
A single resident and two dogs escaped the fire, but there was no saving the home.
“The house is a complete destruction,” said Metchosin Fire Chief Stephanie Dunlop. “(Even) power lines had burned through on the house and dropped across the road.”
Because there are no hydrants or public water along that section of the road, water had to be trucked in to fight the fire. Crews from the Lang-ford and Sooke departments joined Metchosin to battle the blaze.
Once crews hit the fire with water it took approx-imately 30 minutes to extinguish the flames, Dun-lop said. Firefighters remained on scene doing mop up and to keep watch for smoldering spots. “Most crews were out of here by 8 a.m.,” she said.
The call came in at approximately 5:16 a.m. and temporarily closed traffic on Sooke Road in both directions. Dunlop said the fire originated in the kitchen but the cause was still undetermined at the time of the Gazette’s print deadline.
“We wish to express our thanks to all of our mutual aid supporters, Sooke and Langford fire departments as well as B.C. Ambulance, RCMP and Mainroad (Contracting) for their assistance at this fire,” Dunlop said.

Fire department rivalries help create healthy competitionArnold LimNews Gazette staff
Five firefighters are running, lift-ing and sweating in a brightly lit workout room.
Nestled into the corner of the Langford Fire Hall on Peatt Road, they crack jokes, offer up a friendly banter, exercising in blue t-shirts emblazoned with Langford Fire Rescue across their backs.
For more than a month, these firefighters have been in compe-tition mode, in a firefighter’s fit-ness challenge between them-selves and (so far) the Metcho-sin, Sooke/Otter Point, Oak Bay and Sidney departments. They’re focusing not only on pumping water onto fires, but also pump-ing iron in the gym.
“In a time when most of us are a little lax on our fitness, (this) really encouraged us to keep up to date on our fitness throughout Christmas and beginning of the new year,” said Assistant Chief Chris Aubrey. “We record how many hours we’re doing the fit-ness activities and compare notes with the rest of the departments and see who wins at the end of the day.”
Aubrey, one of 15 Langford fire-fighters who stepped up to the plate when the Metchosin Fire Department put the challenge for-ward, said there was more inter-est than spots available and the benefits were many.
“If we’re able to work together as a group and improve, collec-tively, the fitness level of all the local fire departments, then we’re all going to be able to provide a better service,” he said. “To have really fit, well-trained firefighters in your community to help you out in your time of need is cer-tainly going to be an asset and a benefit to the community.”
The challenge, which involves
60 firefighters, is a “healthy com-petition” in more ways than one, Aubrey said, pointing to the good work being done by staff and volunteers in the neighbouring Metchosin department.
“I know that they have really been working hard over the past couple years. They have a new gym in their fire hall and they’ve been encouraging their members to get more physically active,” he said. “It’s great to see them take that momentum in their depart-ment and spill it over to other departments that are interested in getting involved.”
That enthusiasm not only rekindled an interest in fitness in Langford members, it fuelled their competitive spirit.
“They want to win,” Aubrey said of his workmates. “Healthy competition in this regard is good, and it is a healthy competition
because it is for our own personal health … It’s more than bragging rights.”
Metchosin Fire Chief Stephanie Dunlop said WorkSafe requires forms of fitness and wellness pro-grams. And in a profession where heart attacks are one of the num-ber one causes of death, a high level of fitness is key.
“We could be walking up a big hill with a hoseline and that is a huge exertion. Ninety-nine per cent (of volunteer firefighters) work a full day and now they get a call at 2 a.m. during rest, and all of a sudden their body is forced into action,” she said. “That’s a lot of stress on the body and the more fit they are, the less stress on their body and heart.”
Dunlop has noticed a differ-ence in herself, feeling stronger when she is first on the scene and forced to climb up areas, she is
no longer as out of breath and is more able to stay focused on the task at hand.
“The bar is set high for fitness in our department now and every-one has jumped on board. It’s not just being in the gym and bulking up,” she said.
While she believes the program benefits everyone from the fire-fighters and their families to the communities, she offered up a friendly note to the other depart-ments involved.
“People always want to win and that’s why we set up this chal-lenge, so we can compete and encourage other departments … especially when you have mutual aid department like Langford,” she said. “It’s going to be really heartbreaking (for a larger depart-ment like them) to lose to a little department like us.”

LANGFORD COUNCIL NEWSIN BRIEF
Passing the buck on liquor licensing
Council needed clarification at last week’s meeting when it came to liquor licensing appli-cations.
In spring 2015, council directed staff to write to the province’s Liquor Control and Licensing Branch indicating the City’s desire to opt back into the liquor licence application review process. In response, the LCLB requested council state a preference for how it intends to provide public noti-fication when it receives such applications.
Unlike in the case of public hearings, there is no provincial legislation prescribing the notifi-cation process on liquor licence applications. Staff assured council they were not effectively opting out of the process again by leaving notification proce-dures up to LCLB to dictate.
Kudos offered tobuilding inspectors
Coun. Lillian Szpak offered her appreciation to City staff members after council received year end (fourth quarter) reports from the City’s planning, land development and building departments.
She noted specifically the building inspection department saw 329 single family dwell-ings approved and in some form of construction over the course of 2015. “I think that is well and beyond any year that we’ve ever had to date.” she said. “Kudos for all of the hard work.”
Kettle Creek Stationroad closures approved
Council adopted a bylaw that will effectively see portions of Kettle Lake Drive, Turnstyle Crescent and another unnamed road closed near the Kettle Creek Station development area.
Staff are in the process of entering into a land exchange agreement with the developer, Romspen Mortgage Investment Fund, that will see this land disposed of for further develop-ment in the area. [email protected]

Charities encouraged to applyfor help from marathoners
The GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon is accepting applications for the CHEK Charity Pledge Program, helping charities raise both awareness and funds, through Vancouver
Island’s highest profile marathon.“Thanks to the charities that do get
involved, they recruit new participants to the events and give current participants another reason to get out and train and give back,” said marathon general manager Cathy Noel in a release.
In 2015, $122,591 was raised for 18 chari-ties and more than $1.5 million has been raised since the program’s inception. Appli-cations will be accepted through Jan. 29. For more information visit runvictoriamara-thon.com/sponsors-charities.

Any residents impacted by these changes have been notified by the City.
“There’s a lot of different pieces in the schedule,” she said. “It’s kind of a domino effect.”
With construction scheduled to be completed by the end of August, just in time for the new school year, Mahovlich hopes that estimate is a conservative one. “We
don’t want to make a promise we can’t keep,” she said, adding the traffic signals alone could take eight weeks to arrive.
The City also considered turning the intersection into a roundabout. But after a study completed with ICBC Traffic Safety engineers, it was determined a roundabout would not be suitable in this location. Due to the uneven traffic flow, which is predominantly
north/south on Leigh Road, and the land required to make the roundabout two lanes wide to accommodate truck traffic traveling through the area, Mahovlich said it just wouldn’t work.
“It would just make it very complicated.”
Another project being done to
improve traffic flow through Langford is the McCallum Road extension, which will see traffic connected between Millstream and Leigh roads. Mahovlich said work should be completed by spring break if the weather co-operates.

CorrectionA story about Langford’s consideration of the
proposed 2016 West Shore Parks and Recreation Society budget in the Jan. 22 edition of the Gazette contained errors. Council approved the budget, with conditions. As well, not all Society sharehold-ers have voted on the budget, the society’s fund-ing formula is based solely on total assessed value, and the City of Langford does not contribute 50 per cent of the Society’s budget.

Roundabout a no-go for site
Katherine Engqvist/News Gazette staff
The City of Langford has begun the initial stages of realigning the Goldstream Avenue and Leigh Road intersection. The City considered a roundabout for the site, but decided against it for two reasons: the intersection is dominated by north-south traffic on Leigh Road, and too much land would be required to accommodate truck traffic.

Eyesight and safe drivingWhen we drive, we make most of our decisions on
the basis of visual cues: the position of other vehicles and pedestrians, traf� c lights, signs, hazard warnings etc. Good vision is crucial to safe driving. Vision for driving involves more than the ability to read the let-ters on the eye chart (central vision): Peripheral vision, depth perception and colour vision are all important factors which in� uence our judgment while driving. The Motor Vehicle Branch tests these visual skills when we � rst apply for a driver’s license. This screen-ing is not a substitute for a full eye examination by a Doctor of Optometry who can prescribe corrective lenses or other treatment, if necessary, and evaluate the health of the eyes.
Our eyes change in subtle and gradual ways as we age. We may not realize our vision has gradually deteriorated to a level that does not meet the legal and safe requirements for operating a motor vehicle. In many cases, the solution may be as simple as, new prescription lenses.
Glare is a common problem to most drivers when the sun is low in the sky ahead and when the road surface is wet and shiny. Sunglasses may help, along with cleaning your windshield. Another cause of glare may be cataracts, which can develop as we age. This cloudiness in the lenses of the eyes can cause an increase in sensitivity to light in the early stages. Your optometrist can advise you about tinted lenses to re-duce glare and continue to counsel you as the cata-racts develop.
Regular eye examinations determine if your vision is good enough for safe driving. You owe it to yourself and everyone else on the road to make sure that you are seeing well and reacting to situations as quickly as possible.

Belmont dancers thrive in school’s new theatreArnold LimNews Gazette staff
When she is stressed out, Ashley Griffiths likes to dance.
The Grade 10 Belmont secondary student said she and more than 80 students bared their souls while wearing their dancing shoes at a recent recital in the school’s newly minted theatre.
“When you are dancing you kind of just block out everything and you just think about yourself and what you are doing as you’re dancing,” she says. “So you don’t really focus on anything else, (just) your body and your moves and how you’re feeling at that moment.”
With exams coming and the stresses of being a high school student rising, 15-year-old former Spencer middle schooler turns to the dance.
“Some people read, some people take a break, but for me when I dance it kind of relaxes me. It helps me out ... and I don’t have to worry about other things,” she says. “But you definitely have to prepare yourself physically. You have to be ready emotionally for when you go on stage … (But) it doesn’t matter what other people think, it only matters how you feel.”
Four classes danced three numbers each in what Griffiths called a celebration of dance in the school’s 300-seat theatre at last Saturday’s recital.
Instructor Lesley Conway, who returned to lead her fifth year of dance at the school, says being part of that program is a big commitment for students. But everyone involved, from those who dance every day to those new to dancing, have been working hard.
“Dance is one way that really helps students (see) that there is another part of life you can do just because you enjoy it,” says Conway. “Especially in school, a lot of school is math and science and they can come to dance and express themselves with movement.”
The class has been popular, prompting the addition of an extra block next semester. Not only that, it has provided students with a positive environment, promotes the arts, healthy living, being active and having a positive self image says Conway.
“I have seen a huge improvement in most of the dancers in the program.” She says her students worked hard to prepare for the recent show and really focused their efforts this month.

EDITORIALOUR VIEW
With unlicensed marijuana dispensaries popping up in urban areas and thousands of unregulated medical licences for home growing still in legal limbo, the Trudeau government is starting work on its promise to legalize recreational use.
Marijuana was a media darling in the recent election, but meeting in Vancouver with provincial ministers last week, federal Health Minister Jane Philpott found herself preoccupied with issues deemed more urgent.
These include shifting our post-war acute hospital model to community primary care, tackling aboriginal health care needs, pooling pharmaceutical purchases to slow rising costs, and meeting an urgent Supreme Court of Canada directive to legalize assisted dying.
At the closing news conference in Vancouver, Philpott was asked how recreational marijuana should be sold. Licensed medical growers want exclusive rights to do it by mail as permitted by the Harper government, another measure forced by our high court. That would shut out the rash of supposedly medical storefronts, which city halls in Vancouver and elsewhere imagine they can regulate.
Philpott said the question is “premature” and federal-provincial justice ministers were dealing with it at their meeting. Ottawa will have
a “task force” too.Vancouver descended into a
pot store free-for-all due to benign neglect from council and police, and Victoria isn’t far behind. Vancouver Coun. Kerry Jang, a rare voice of reason in the Big Smoke, has protested dispensaries using street hawkers to attract young buyers, and pot stores setting up near schools.
Other communities, more aware of their limitations, have resisted issuing business licences. One recent proposal in
the Victoria suburb of View Royal came from a fellow who insisted marijuana extract had cured his cancer. This is typical of claims that proliferate on the Internet, and is one of many warning signs about dispensaries that put up red cross signs to sell pot products with exotic names.
B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake was more forthcoming a few days earlier, responding to a Vancouver reporter who judged marijuana more interesting than his just-announced plan to hire 1,600 more nurses by the end of March.
Lake noted that Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne is keen to sell marijuana through the province’s liquor stores. B.C.’s government liquor store union also endorsed this idea, forming an unlikely alliance with non-union private stores to get in on the action.
“There are public health officials
that I’ve talked to who say that the co-location of marijuana and liquor sales is not advisable from a public health perspective,” Lake said. “I think whatever we do it has to be highly regulated, quality control has to be excellent and above all we must protect young people.”
Yes, liquor stores check ID. But the notion that marijuana might be sold next to beer and vodka in government stores deserves sober second thought, and serious scientific work of the kind that has shown damage to developing brains from teenage marijuana use.
Of course all of this urban hand-wringing over pot stores ignores the de facto legalization that has existed across B.C. for decades.
The Nelson Star had a funny story last week about a local woman’s discovery on Google Earth. Zooming in on area mountains, one finds not only the Purcell landmark Loki Peak, but also Weed Peak, Grow Op Peak, Cannabis Peak and Hydroponic Peak.
Whatever the source of this cyber-prank, it could also be applied to other regions of B.C.
For the record, I’ll restate my long-standing position that legalization is the only logical answer. I’ll say the same about other drugs that drive most B.C. crime, but that’s a subject for another day.

Cancer research in our backyard
Members of the West Shore Chamber of Commerce, including staff from the Gazette, were treated to an amazing presentation last week on the goings-on at the Victoria-based Deeley Research Centre, an integral part of the B.C. Cancer Agency.
The research being conducted by a team of professionals led by Dr. Brad Nelson, laid out by him in easy to understand terminology, offered us hope that a natural treatment for ovarian cancer and other forms of this disease is within sight. Hearing Nelson describe advances being made locally in immunology, the study of the body’s immune system, gave a sense that one day soon patients will have the capacity to kill off potentially deadly cancer cells with a natural, drug and radiation-free solution located in their own bodies.
Written here by a medical layperson, such an idea might sound as if we’re hawking some unscientifically proven solution much like the countless cures marketed on the Web. But this is real science, and it’s important that people be made aware of the groundbreaking work taking place right in our own backyard.
To give an idea of just how respected and thorough Nelson and his team are, he was recently awarded a major grant to continue this work, beating out a medical research team from Harvard University, among others.
All this is to say that if you are considering places to donate your money for long-term good, the B.C. Cancer Foundation, which helps fund the research centre, might not be a bad place to start. Donor dollars will get the research being done there over the hump – in other words, treatments being studied will move from the laboratory testing stage to become a standard of care funded by the B.C. Health Ministry. Dave Saunders, whose car dealership hosted last week’s event, is a staunch supporter of the Foundation and presented Nelson with a $1,000 cheque courtesy the Saunders Family Foundation.
Cancer has or will affect all of us, in one way or another. It’s nice to know work is being done nearby that will, likely in many of our lifetimes, diminish the chances that one or more types of the disease will strike in our own families.

Re: Sierra Club fights back for forest protection (Letters, Sept. 20)
Mark Worthing’s claim that the Sierra Club of B.C. is “entirely independent” is interesting.
Greenpeace took legal action to protect its name against copycats – does the Sierra Club not do the same against people trading on its earned reputation? Note that the B.C. website uses the same logo as the Canadian and U.S.
websites, and that sierraclub.org states the organization has chapters in Canada and the U.S. (it is named for the Sierra Nevada mountains).
Worthing’s claim that the majority of British Columbians support his views should be investigated. A common tactic of eco-activists is to claim they speak for people they’ve never asked about their views. Another is to claim that Fletcher is a
shill for right-wing governments or businesses, which if true would be like the pot calling the kettle black given the number of eco-activists who are just regurgitating someone else’s fantasies. (For example, David Suzuki revealed on Australian TV that he had little knowledge of the temperature databases behind the climate alarmism he parrots.)
And Worthing does
not understand wildlife, most of which does better in the vegetation that grows up a few years after logging. It’s akin to the “interface” shrubbery that tribal people here created by felling Garry oak trees to create the meadows his friends worship, so they could harvest animals
and birds living in and eating the shrubbery, and plants like Camus lily that grew in the open areas.
I doubt those early farmers had people like Worthing around – they’d offer him a choice of eating or dying by starvation.

Re: Early plans for Belmont shopping centre available (Gazette, Jan. 20)
With bare land one can create an attractive shopping centre. I hope the planned road running through it is not meant for cars.
I have seen the most attractive shopping centre in Germany, the Ingolstadt outlet village, where the cars are parked outside the shopping centre right behind the stores.
The stores are located all around and there are benches and planters
in the centre and one does not have to walk the distance as is the case at Millstream Centre, for example. That turned out to be unattractive with all the parked cars in the centre.
A shopping development like Ingolstadt would more or less look like an indoor mall, but on the outside the stores itself are nice, village-style buildings with gables etc. Let’s do something different when we start from scratch.

Belmont mall planners could learn from German experience
Eco-protector spokesperson’s claim of independence curious given Sierra Club’s history
Crews work on the demolition project at the former Belmont secondary site on Jacklin Road. With a major commercial and residential development in the works for the site, one reader hopes the designers will bring a European flair to the mall and have parking around the outside of the shops rather than in the middle.Don Descoteau/News Gazette staff

Skate park conversation turns to the political
Photo by Stew Radford
Rylan Brotherston competes in a skateboarding event at the since demolished skate park in Langford. A local group is working to find a new site or multiple smaller locations on the West Shore.
Advocacy group seeking support from municipal councils
Don DescoteauNews Gazette staff
With renewed energy and enthusiasm, proponents of a new skateboard park for the West Shore are making their rounds to the five councils in hopes of garnering support at the municipal level.
The first presentation, to View Royal council last week, elicited positive comments from Mayor David Screech and his fellow councillors, winding up with an agreement to send a letter of support to West Shore Parks and Recreation and the other municipalities.
“Culturally, this isn’t the battle of skate park creation that hap-pened in the early to mid-90s,” said Westshore Skatepark Coali-tion spokesperson Jimmy Miller, a skater himself and a longtime advocate who once lobbied Vic-toria council to loosen skate-boarding rules downtown, in an interview later.
“Skateboarding … is some-thing that is ever present. We have people such as ourselves that are parents of future users, but also, grandparents are out there skateboarding.”
With much of the mystery around skate park activities such as boarding, BMX biking and inline skating a thing of the past, he said, this campaign comes down to finding people keen on “helping this user group be facilitated, it’s as simple as that.”
Miller said a recent progress update and information session, held for potential park users and other supporters, went well and elicited some new ideas. Part of the session saw attendees encouraged to write their dream vision for a new park on a large
sheet of paper.“I think when you gather peo-
ple in a situation where there may not be hope, you’re battle-ready to pump up everybody’s morale. But everybody had open ears, and although slightly deflated they were not defeated,” he said of the Jan. 17 meeting. “Everybody was ready to accept where we’re at now and move forward with the consultation with the municipalities.”
The previous skate park off Jenkins Road on the Belmont secondary lands was removed some months ago. Its fate was confirmed not long after Sobey’s purchased the property from the Sooke School Dis-trict.
While progress may appear to have been rather slow toward finding a new site, West Shore Parks and Recreation has been active in working with Miller and other skateboarders and advocates.
Addressing councils and securing land is one of the next steps in the process, he told View Royal council at their Jan. 19 meeting.
Coun. John Rogers encour-aged Miller and his compatri-ots to bring their ideas to View Royal’s parks master plan work-shop, scheduled for Feb. 3.
As well, he suggested that an area at Watkiss Way and West Burnside Road, near the archery range, might be a suitable loca-tion for a skate park.
Screech said West Shore Parks and Recreation in Colwood would be the most ideal from View Royal’s perspective, since the Town is already paying into
the organization.Bobbi Neal, community devel-
opment co-ordinator for West Shore Parks and Recreation, said a report would be created for the municipalities once the group has presented its plan to all of them.
Coun. Heidi Rast suggested the Town may be willing to donate toward a future skate park. She also questioned whether sev-eral smaller skate parks, each accommodating the varying skill levels, might be an answer to the
land issue.Miller pointed
out that the skate community doesn’t necessar-ily separate people by skill level, but sounded open to the idea.
He expanded on that concept later in an interview.
“It doesn’t have to be this humongous skate park meant to meet every single skill level and every type of obstacle dynamic,” he said. “Hey, that’d be great if we could, but finan-cially that’s (not necessarily fea-sible) … Why not do little sat-ellite skate parks in addition to more of a centralized hub? We’re game for any type of idea.”
Fellow park proponent and skater Daniel Opdendries echoed that sentiment.
“Right now we need to start with land,” he said.
“Once we have land, I believe we can get the fundraising in gear,. We can look for munici-pal dollars and start applying for grants more readily, and we can get the community group fund-raising money directed toward these projects as well.”[email protected]

Auto Insurance ….. What is right for you?ICBC AUTOPLAN BASIC COVERAGE
Every vehicle owned and operated in British Columbia must have the minimum coverages shown below:
� ird-Party Liability, covers you for any bodily injury or property damage you may cause to others, and are held legally responsible for. With Basic Autoplan Insurance, you have a limit of $200,000 on this coverage.
Accident Bene� ts, provides medical and wage loss insurance if you are injured from a motor vehicle crash. � is is no-fault insurance; you are covered regardless of who is at fault. Bene� ts are payable to all passengers of a vehicle licensed and insured in BC, and they also apply to any named Autoplan policy holder or family member who is injured as a pedestrian or cyclist.
Underinsured Motorist Protection protects you in particular circumstances for up to $1 million in the event that a motorist who causes an accident doesn’t hold su� cient insurance to cover all property damage and injuries caused to you.
Hit-and-Run and Uninsured Motorists Protection automatically covers BC residents who are injured or killed, or whose property is damaged by a hit-and-run, or an uninsured driver up to a maximum of $200,000.
Inverse Liability Coverage protects you when you are in an accident
outside of BC in an area of Canada or the US where local laws will not allow you to recover losses from a driver who causes a crash.
ICBC OPTIONAL COVERAGE
ICBC also o� ers Optional Coverages – Extended � ird-Party Liability; Collision Coverage; Comprehensive Coverage; Speci� ed Perils (lightning, earthquake etc.); Loss of Use and Excess Underinsured Motorist Protection. � ere are several bundled options also available.
Extended � ird-Party Liability coverage increases the amount of coverage you carry for injury or damage to other people or their property. Basic Autoplan insurance requires that every driver carry a minimum of $200,000 in liability insurance, but in today’s world, with the increasing size of court judgments and lawsuit settlements, many people want the comfort of extended coverage. Coverage can be purchased for up to $5 million.
Collision coverage provides payment to repair your vehicle if it is damaged as a result of upset or collision with another vehicle, an object or a person, including the ground or road, or impact with an object on or in the ground.
Comprehensive coverage will cover loss or damage by any cause that is not already covered by collision insurance.
Speci� ed Perils covers you for speci� c coverages only such as � re, earthquake, riot, explosion etc.
Loss of Use coverage provides you with substitute transportation while your vehicle has been stolen, written-o� etc.
Excess Underinsured Motorist Protection protects you in the event that a motorist who causes an accident doesn’t hold su� cient insurance to cover all injuries caused. � is coverage extends the basic $1 million limit to $2 million.
� ere are also several Bundled Packages to choose from.
Your Basic Coverage must be purchased from ICBC however, any or all of your optional coverage can be purchased from either ICBC or private insurance operators.
Speak to your Insurance Agent to determine the coverage and protection you need for your automobile insurance.
Looking after your car doesn’t just extend its life – it also feeds your pocket. If your car is well maintained and shows signs of routine maintenance and a history of regular services, not only will your car last longer, your trade-in or resale value will go up as well. Always check for leaks always make sure your put aside some money to maintain your vehicle even when it’s brand new. Check your Manufacturer’s Recommendations - It is important to use oil that stays within the recommended guidelines of your vehicle’s manufacturer. Choosing oil that does not fit the parameters recommended by your car’s manufacturer could void your warranty. This is very important!
Replace oil and filter regularlyWithout oil, your car would produce excessive heat, heat causes friction, and friction produces wear. Wear is enemy number one to your engine. The oil filter cleans dirt and particles from the oil that may cause damage. An easy way to remember to change your oil filter is to replace it at every oil change which is recommended!Check Brake, Power steering fluid and Clutch FluidAlways make sure these fluids are at their correct levels.Check Air Filter and Cabin Air FilterAir Filter is very important. Every internal combustion engine requires a mixture of fuel and air to operate properly. It costs a lot less to replace a dirty air filter regularly,
than it does to replace the parts of the engine it protects. The cabin Air Filtration System filters millions of microscopic particles such as dust, pollen and spores from outside air, which enters the vehicle through the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.Check Rad Cap, Coolant (Antifreeze)While radiator caps look simple and do not cost much, they are critical for a properly Operating cooling system. A faulty cap can result in overheating, loss of coolant or major engine damage. Coolant, or antifreeze, is generally a half-and-half mixture of a form of glycol and water. Like any other engine fluid, the coolant needs to be checked on a regular basis. Never open your rad cap when engine is hot!Check transmission fluidMake sure that the transmission fluid is always at a good level and is changed periodically to make sure your car can shift smoothly and keep you in control of the car at all times. Automatic Transmission recommended every 2 years or at 48,000 km intervals / Manual Transmission recommended 30,000 to 35,000 km intervals.Check Wiper Blades and Windshield Washer FluidMaintaining wiper blades regularly can maximize visibility, efficiency and reliability and Keeps the Windshield in Good Condition. Make sure there’s a sufficient amount of washer fluid in the tank.Fuel Filter and Fuel System cleanerMost new cars don’t come with fuel filters. There is a screen (sock) on the fuel pump
pick-up, in the tank. Unless you have some really dirty gas, the screen should never get clogged up. Most manufacture has decided that anything small enough to go through the screen, can be burned, along with the fuel with no adverse effects. Consult with your mechanic, oil change shop or dealership to see if your car is equipped with fuel filter. Fuel System Cleaning Service removes harmful deposits from compression chambers and fuel systems, resulting in cleaner more efficient vehicle operation. Fuel System Cleaning Service restores power and
performance to your vehicle, while reducing harmful emissions and improving fuel economy. Fuel Filters are recommended once a year or every 20,000 km and Fuel System Cleaning are recommended every 25,000 km.Check Front Differential, Transfer Case and Rear Differential fluids levelsHave your differential and transfer case checked by your nearest oil change, mechanic or dealership every 30,000 km to 35,000 km at least. Having these parts serviced with new gear oil requires only a small fraction of the cost of rebuilding or replacing a differential.

Changes to personnel and the coaching staff haven’t dented the Westshore Rebels’ B.C. Foot-ball Conference record – they’ve gone 2-8 the past three seasons. What has improved the past two years, however, are the club’s reputation as a good place to play and the shedding of its label as a home for entitled athletes.
That upward trend was witnessed last week when Rebels head coach and general manager J.C. Boice confirmed that Shane Beatty, former head coach of BCFC champion Okanagan Sun, was join-ing the Rebels coaching staff.
“I could not be happier … he is a fantastic coach,” Boice said. “He knows the game extremely well, is highly competitive and really loves kids.”
Beatty, who won the BCFC coach of the year award the past two seasons and won the 2015 Canadian award after leading Okanagan to the Canadian Bowl, will serve as assistant head coach, strength and conditioning coach and director of player development. The former Victoria Payless linebacker (he played here in 1988-89 before join-ing the Sun) and the Kelowna-based Sun are said to have parted company by mutual agreement.
“I’m extremely excited to get these kids going; we’re going to turn this place around and we’re going to become number 1,” Beatty said in a You-Tube video posted by the Rebels.
The new board of directors, led by president Doug Kobayashi, who is also West Shore Chamber of Commerce board president, played a big part in convincing Beatty that Langford was the place to be. “After meeting with the Rebels president, I am 100 per cent certain we are in good hands,” Beatty said. “It’s time to rock the Rebel Red!”
For his part Boice, who last fall was named GM on top of his coaching duties, likes the “huge change in vision and direction” of the club.
“I’m really excited with the new board and the continuity we’re creating,” he said. “The new board has a strong business acumen.”
A new arrangement sees Boice overseeing foot-ball operations while Kobayashi directs the busi-ness and sponsorship end of the club’s activities.
From a football perspective, the team is poised to have its best recruiting class ever, Boice said.
And a new partnership with PISE in Saanich will see the club locate its strength and conditioning centre there. During the off-season last year, the coach spoke of the dream to create a dedicated Rebels workout space. “I’m excited to grow that partnership.”
More than 40 players are eligible to return for 2016 and many of them, as well as some newcom-ers, are in town getting a head start on their condi-tioning – at this time last year barely 20 were doing winter workouts together, Boice said.
Also, a new football specific athlete develop-ment program designed by Boice and Beatty to prepare younger players will start March 1 in Vic-toria and on the West Shore.
For the Rebels, it’s about making moves forward and being prepared to do what it takes to win foot-ball games now and down the road.
“Our goal is to win a national championship,” Boice said, acknowledging that may not be real-istic for a couple more years. “With the coaching changes and other things we’re doing, our expec-tation is to compete for a BCFC title this year.”

The Victoria Grizzlies defeated Salmon Arm Sil-verbacks 4-1 on Saturday to extend their B.C. Hockey League winning streak to six games.
The locals erased a 1-0 first period deficit by scoring three goals in the first 7:10 of the second period, adding a last-minute goal in the third to ice the victory.
P.J. Conlon scored his 15th and 16th goals to lead the Griz-zlies, while Matthew Galajda was solid in stopping 36 of 37 Salmon Arm shots.
Mitchell Barker, with his sev-enth, and Brayden Gelsinger, with his 20th of the season, also scored in the win, while Ross Heidt got the lone marker for Salmon Arm.
The win pushed the Griz-zlies record to .500 (20-20-4-0) for the first time this season and left them six points back of third place Cowichan Valley in the Island Divi-sion, with a game in hand.
The Grizz host the Red Bull Sal-zburg under-20 team from Austria in an exhibition game tonight (Jan. 27) at 7 p.m. at The Q Centre. A wel-come luncheon is happening at the Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort
and Spa today starting at noon. Tickets are $50 each and include one seat for lunch and two tickets to the evening’s game. The guest speaker is John Grisdale, longtime BCHL commissioner and former Vancouver Canucks player. Tickets are available at the Westin or at the Grizzlies office at The Q Centre.

The win moved Langford-based Westcastle to within two points of Lakehill as they scramble to emerge from the Div. 1 basement.
United (3-12-1) returns to Westhills this Saturday (Jan. 30) to take on Gorge FC (7-6-3) at 6 p.m. They hit the road to play Vic West the following Saturday.

Victoria Cougars’ Liam Kinsella is downed along the boards by Westshore Wolves defenceman Tomba Huddleston as they chase the puck during last week’s Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League game at The Q Centre. The Cougars won the match, the final regular season game between the two teams, 6-2.
Jr. ‘B’ Wolves in tough stretch
The Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League schedule hasn’t been kind to the Westshore Wolves as they fight to avoid a first-round playoff matchup with the vaunted Victoria Cougars.
The Wolves, sitting fourth in the Island Division, lost by identical 6-2 scores last week, at home against the Cougars on Jan. 20 and in Campbell River to the North Division leading Storm on Friday night.
Westshore was due to play the Storm again last night (after the Gazette’s print deadline), but can gain some ground tomorrow night when they host Kerry Park. The Islanders began the week second in the South but sit just four points up on the Wolves.
Game time is 7 p.m. at The Q Centre.
Shamrocks get going on signings for 2016Key Mann Cup players inked for Western Lacrosse Association season
Victoria Shamrocks general man-ager Chris Welch is breathing a bit of a sigh of relief after getting a deal done to keep the Western Lacrosse Association club’s two first team all-stars and a key defenceman in green-and-white for another year.
Mann Cup most valuable player Cory Small, fellow WLA all-star Jesse King and defender Tyler Bur-ton are the first three signings for the defending Canadian champi-ons.
“It’s great to have three of our core players signed at this early stage of the year,” Welch said in a release. “All three of these players played key roles for us last year and will continue to be big contrib-utors going forward.”
Small, 28, was a model of consis-tency last season, his sixth in the WLA. He won the league’s points race with 33 goals and 79 points in
18 games and chalked up a league-high 40 points in eight WLA playoff games. He later racked up 25 points as the Shamrocks beat the Peter-borough Lakers in six games for the Mann Cup.
Instant star King, a 23-year-old former Juan de Fuca lacrosse player, proved his mettle in his first full season in the WLA last year, scoring 31 goals and totaling 64 points in 16 games. He added 18 points in the WLA playoffs and another 14 in the Mann Cup. He earned the respect of his club-mates and the team, winning the club’s George Blackstock Memorial Award as MVP, and the Chris Hall Award for the player with the most competitive spirit.
Burton, 27, returns for his fourth season with the team and is known as a force to be reckoned with on the back end for the Shamrocks, as well as being a top faceoff man.
Tickets for the 2016 season, which gets underway in May, are on sale now. Visit victoriashamrocks.com or call 250-478-ROCK(7625).

Heart to Heart open to region’s heart patients, including those on the West Shore
Dan EbenalBlack Press
When Chuck Pusateri had a heart attack, questions whirled through his brain.
The 41-year-old father of three had no health problems when the heart attack struck, leaving him wondering about changing his diet and how he exercised, how he could reduce stress, whether he should change jobs and just how much longer was his life going to be.
“There was just a whole myr-iad of things that went through my head.”
Pusateri found many of the answers through Island Heart to Heart, an organization he’s still associated with 22 years later.
“In fact, I did change jobs to some extent and I did start exer-cising differently and I did start looking at food differently. I sort of started a journey over the last 22 years,” said the Saanich resi-dent.
Island Heart To Heart oper-ates out of the Hillside Seniors Health Centre attached to the Aber-deen Hospital, passing along information on the program to cardiac patients at Island hos-pitals.
“We know that there’s a lot of peo-ple who are missed because we don’t get to them in hospital or they don’t hear about it from their doctor so we’re trying to go out to the public and let them know it’s there,” said Pusateri, a direc-tor with Island Heart To Heart.
The program hosts a series of seven two-hour classes, offered 10 times a year. The classes feature talks from cardiologists, pharmacists, dieti-
cians and others to help provide insight on living with heart dis-ease.
“People learn things to help themselves,” said Pusateri, who underwent his third heart sur-gery back in October.
“After five days you leave the hospital and the hospital is very proud to have got you out in five days. But then you get home and you have a recovery – some-times a long, painful recovery – and you start to look at, what do I do with the rest of my life, what’s the rest of my life going to be like, what can I do to help myself so that I never have to go through that again?”
Pusateri said the courses pro-vide skills and coping mecha-nisms as well as answers to many of their questions.
“Some people have never done any physical activity, they don’t know one side of a rec cen-tre from another,” he said. “How to eat, they’ve been eating the same way for 50 years, how do they become vegetarian? It’s just beyond them. But we kind of get them started through these classes, to pick out some things they can do to change their lives a little bit.”
He said the class of 30 or so people is also likely the first time many have been in a roomful of others who understood what
they were going through.The course costs $40 for an
individual and $60 for a couple for the seven sessions.
“It’s not just for people that have had a heart problem,” said Pusateri. “We have some people in the class who know they have a family history of it and are try-ing to prevent a heart attack.”
For more information on the program, visit the website [email protected]
