OAK BAYNEWSOak Bay aglow with the holiday spirit
Christine van ReeuwykNews Staff
Nearly 101,000 bulbs are ready to light up Sunday evening.
More than 1,400 strings of lights went up over the past month in an effort to make this year’s festivities a bigger and better street party than ever as the village enters the Christmas season.
“In the past we weren’t able to light all the windows at ground level,” said Heather Leary, project and communications manager for the Oak Bay Business Improvement Association that hosts the event.
A new system allows for attaching lights to some of those areas that couldn’t be lit before.
“It should be even brighter,” Leary said.
The month-long frenzy to get lights up and ready, with a little time built in to deal with windstorms that arose, will come to fruition at 5 p.m. Sunday when they’re powered up. Santa will stop by to have a look and visit with the youngsters.
But the fun starts three hours earlier with street food vendors selling everything
from New Orleans-style offerings to roasted chestnuts. Family activities include road hockey, wheelchair sports (for everyone) and multiple craft tables. A pair of parade floats, the traditionally large and stunning Galey Farms float and the Canada Post float, will be on
hand for up close and personal interaction. Canada Post will gather letters to deliver to Santa.
At 3 p.m. the entertainment starts with the Joy Life Choir, B.C. Fiddle Orchestra, Folkestra and Daniel Lapp all in the lineup.
The 14th annual Christmas Festival Light up gets under way Sunday with festivities starting at 2 p.m. in the village and the countdown at 5 p.m. followed by a visit with Santa and photos with the jolly man himself after that at Athlone Travel.
Visit visitoakbayvillage.ca
for updates to festival events leading up to Christmas.
Two of those already set include the Art on the Avenue Gallery walk and Oak Bay Village Christmas Social on Dec. 4 where art galleries and shops open late for an evening of Oak Bay village hospitality.
Then on Dec. 6, the 2014 IEOA Truck Light Convoy and Food Drive shimmers down the Avenue. It’s a big deal in Oak Bay, with side streets closed as residents line the main drag cheering and waving the big rigs through.
“It’s [the truck drivers’] favourite part because it’s a real parade,” Leary said.
The convoy stops to collect food donations dropped off at municipal hall, and the community consistently donates about 1,800 pounds worth of food, said Leary, who would love to see Oak Bay again hit its peak donation – two tonnes. “It’s an important way of giving back.”
Volunteers will collect donations for Mustard Seed food bank from the crowd. Also expect to see a Public Works truck collecting donations across from municipal hall; at the hall, Mustard Seed volunteers will be set up on the lawn to issue receipts for cash offerings.
There will be music and treats too, starting at 5 p.m. Trucks are expected to arrive around 6:30 p.m. in the village. [email protected]

Dr. Pamela Kibsey and a lab technician examine a digital photo taken of a specimen by Royal Jubilee Hospital’s new fully automated microbiology laboratory. The new system will allow more tests of specimens to be done faster, increasing the efficiency of a diagnosis.
RJH lab on the cutting edge
Andrea PeacockBlack Press
Royal Jubilee Hospital will be able to process patient samples faster and with more accuracy, thanks to a new state-of-the-art fully automated microbiology lab.
Royal Jubilee is the first hospital in North America to have such a system.
“It will make a huge difference for our patients, because we’ll have critical information to guide their therapy faster,” said Dr. Brendan Carr, CEO of Island Health.
The new lab system cost $4.3 million to install, and was done in partnership with the Capital Regional District. It officially
goes live on Dec. 8.Previously, hospital staff had
to manually place specimens on petri dishes, spread them in a specific pattern then take them to the incubator. After 16 to 24 hours, technologists would then examine bacteria growth on the plates one by one.
With the new system, specimens are placed on plates automatically, then spread by specially designed magnetic beads. The plates are sent along a conveyer belt into the incubator, which takes digital images of the samples. The images can be viewed at any lab technologist’s computer.
Using this new process, 200 samples can be processed in an hour, as opposed to 40 to 60 per hour when done manually.
“It’s a continuous process that the robot does so the technologists don’t have to manually move plates around anymore,” said Dr. Pamela Kibsey, Island Health’s medical director of infection control and
medical lead of the microbiology lab at Royal Jubilee.
The accuracy of the new robotic system is now 100 per cent for every specimen, said Carr.
“It raises our confidence and it raises our certainty in terms of diagnostics substantially.”
Despite the increased speed and efficiency, Carr and Kibsey assured no jobs would be lost as a result.
“One of the problems in North America is that we are facing staffing shortages,” said Kibsey. “We have to have a way of increasing our capacity, being faster, with the same amount of technologists. We have to do more with the same people.”
While this is the first automated microbiology lab of its kind at a hospital in North America, there are two private labs that have similar systems. One is at DynaLIFE lab in Edmonton and the other is at CML HealthCare lab in Mississauga.
Hospital can now deliver faster and more accurate results
Oak Bay will pursue some funding for an age-friendly action plan.
Staff made a last-minute application and got belated approval from council to seek a share in provincial grants available to address age-friendly community initiatives and projects in the district.
The province launched the Seniors’ Housing and Support initiative in 2004 with a one-time $3 million grant from what is now the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development to help local governments prepare for an aging population.
Municipal staff got the package late, and hurried through an application for one of the up to 25 grants available across the province of up to $20,000.
The priority in 2015 is to engage communities that have not yet completed an age-friendly plan or project. While Oak Bay is interested in funding some infrastructure items such as curb drops in the municipality, the application is for development of a District of Oak Bay Age-Friendly Action Plan.

Students show appetite for lower debt load
Christine van ReeuwykNews Staff
Hot soup and a slice of bread on a grey, wet West Coast day goes a long way.
It’s even better when it’s free, such as students enjoyed at the University of Victoria on Tuesday.
“This is something we do typically once a semester… playing on the idea of a soup kitchen,” said Greg Atkinson, UVic Students’ Society director of external relations. “It’s the reality too. We have a food bank [at UVic] and it’s over utilized.”
UVSS dished out free soup for students to raise awareness about the level of student debt in B.C. Free Soup Day for Student Debt was about educating the students, renewing awareness on campus and getting names on petitions to lobby the government.
“B.C. is the only province in Canada without a needs-based grants program,” said Atkinson. “Grants go a long way to solving a debt crisis.”
He notes a BMO survey shows the average student has $35,000 debt upon graduation.
“It’s baffling that our government isn’t doing anything,” Atkinson said. “[The soup] is a good way to communicate with students.”
Kenya Rogers said the comfort zone she witnessed while ladling soup created conversations in line.
“We’re trying to raise awareness. This issue is something that affects everyone on campus one way or another, but it’s not in the forefront of our minds,” she said. “That’s really important, to come into a safe space and have more than just a bowl of soup.”
Needs-based grants were eliminated a decade ago, and since 2001, tuition fees have more than doubled while per-student funding has dropped by 14 per cent, according to the UVSS.
“A big discouragement is that you have to go into massive debt for education,” said science student Brandon Kuemper, after adding his name to the petition in support. “You have to go backwards to go forwards, and for most
people that’s a tough thing to do.” By the end of the first of three hours of the event there
were 600 names on the petition, including student Nicole Edgar.
“I owe the government a lot of money,” she said. “And I know far too many students who graduate and have to pay for 10, 20 years. It seems like we don’t appreciate and value education in this country.”
The petitions will be delivered to the provincial government in early 2015.
“I think students are shocked when they hear this is the only province without a grant program,” said Seamus Wolfe, UVSS research and communications staff. “A lot of the time, it’s not news and they’re really excited that we’re doing something about it.”
MLA touts geothermal energy as alternative to Site C damDan EbenalNews Staff
Oak Bay - Gordon Head MLA Andrew Weaver says a new report shows there are better options to fill British Columbia’s energy needs than the controversial Site C dam project.
Weaver said the findings of the Canadian Geothermal Energy Association show that B.C. has significant potential to develop geothermal and other renewable energy projects throughout the province.
“This is a timely report that clearly validates geothermal energy as a viable, more cost-effective alternative to Site C,” said Weaver. “Geothermal projects are cheaper to build, provide power at
a more economical rate, have a minimal environmental footprint, and generate more permanent jobs throughout the province.”
The report, entitled Geothermal Energy: The Renewable and Cost Effective Alternative to Site C, estimates that geothermal energy would cost about 7.3 cents per kilowatt hour, a cent cheaper than Site C, and that geothermal plant construction equalling the energy output of the proposed Peace River dam is estimated at $3.3 billion, compared to at least $7.9 billion for Site C.
In addition to hot springs and volcanic sites that could be tapped to provide power, the study examines “hot sedimentary aquifers” that have been
stumbled upon by oil and gas drilling.Energy Minister Bill Bennett said
Tuesday he expects cabinet to make a final investment decision on BC Hydro’s $8 billion dam proposal by the end of December. He said geothermal energy has potential in B.C. because unlike wind or solar power it provides a steady source of power, but he doesn’t see it as an alternative to the dam.
“It is a good resource,” Bennett said. “We do want to use it. It will be important to B.C. in the future. It’s not a way to get the 1,100 megawatts of electricity that we need now.”
Weaver pointed to findings that geothermal plants provide more permanent jobs distributed across B.C. and
that the total physical and environmental footprint of geothermal projects would be substantially smaller than that of the BC Hydro dam in northeastern B.C.
“In light of this new announcement, it’s clear that the government should not proceed with the Site C project at this time,” said the deputy leader of the B.C. Green Party. “There are simply too many cheaper alternatives available to protect the ratepayer. The clean energy sector is eagerly awaiting a more fiscally responsible investment decision that would provide employment and development opportunities across the province.”

Festival rides into rec centre
Dan EbenalNews Staff
Recreation Oak Bay is on a roll.
Saturday’s third annual Oak Bay Bike Festival has something for every age and skill level.
There will be a bike rodeo for the youngsters, skills workshops and safety checks for intermediate riders, and a giant air bag jump and stunts and obstacles for the more daring. There will also be exhibits from local bike shops,
a chance to meet champion trail rider John Webster and state-of-the-art bike fitting, courtesy of physiotherapist Barb Bialokoz. And best of all, it’s all free, sponsored by the Oak Bay Community Initiatives Committee and Recreation Oak Bay.
“Toddlers just learning on a two-wheeler, they can come through and learn about road safety. We will also have these stunts that kids can try if they want,” said Janet Barclay, manager of recreation program services with Recreation Oak Bay.
If the weather co-operates, the more daring riders will be able to test their skills by taking their cycle off a ramp and into a giant air bag.
“I would say we probably had about 300 through last year, and that was pretty good considering it poured. It was like a tropical rainstorm, said Barclay.
“Things turned out so well we have planned it indoors this year in conjunction with Sports Day Canada.”
The bike festival runs Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m at the indoor sports field at Oak Bay Recreation Centre, 1975 Bee St.

Challenging year awaits region
Andrea PeacockBlack Press
A regional sewage plan, disunity and amalgamation have ruffled a few feathers around the Capital Regional District board.
And as the board gets set to elect a new chair on Dec. 10, the new chairperson will have to find a way to bring directors together to come up with viable solutions.
Victoria Coun. Geoff Young, CRD board member, said the new chair must have an interest in solving issues at the regional level.
“It’s not appropriate for a person to become chairperson of the CRD unless they’re interested in the CRD and believe in the CRD as having a role as a regional government,” said Young, a former CRD chair.
“And of course there’s always the issue of how much should be done by individual municipalities and how much by the CRD.”
Two local mayors have expressed interest in taking on the chairperson position: Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins and Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen.
Although they agree that CRD members will have to work together to solve regional issues, those discussions may not include amalgamation.
“That’s not necessarily a discussion that will take place at the CRD,” Jensen said. “That really is a discussion that will take place at individual communities.”
Oak Bay was the only municipality with an amalgamation question on the civic election ballot to vote against it.
“I don’t think realistically that the CRD will be a place for the discussion of amalgamation,” Young said.
“[However], there will be a lot of discussion at the CRD about ways in which the municipalities can work together.”
On the other hand, Desjardins said the CRD could be an opportune place to discuss amalgamation, potentially through a new committee.
Regarding sewage treatment, there is a clear need to come up with a solution sooner rather than later.
“The old plan has gone through its process and was not acceptable,” Desjardins said.
“We now have to come up with a solution. So everybody on the same page going forward is the important thing, and I think we can do it.”
She added that with seven new mayors in the region, there will be many new faces and new ideas at the table.
“There’s certainly new players that have a different point of view and have a lot of knowledge on sewage and how to go forward.”
Jensen said it is crucial to come up with a solution as soon as possible,
because any delays could jeopardize the grants that have been promised by the provincial and federal governments.
The province has committed $248 million, while the federal government has offered $253.4 million towards the final project cost. Any additional costs are the CRD’s responsibility.
However, the CRD is required by federal legislation to treat its sewage to a secondary or greater level by 2020, and the province has set a sewage treatment deadline of 2018.
“There’s going to be new players around the table, and we all need to listen to one another and look for a way forward that’s cost-effective and quick,” Jensen said, adding that directors need to be ready to explore all the options in a transparent and open fashion.
“Once the directors are fully informed about what the options are, I think the solution will hopefully become clear.”
Young said once there is co-operation among the municipalities regarding sewage treatment, it may still be difficult to agree on a site.
“If, for example, a plant is proposed for Victoria, I suppose a lot of people in Victoria will say ‘Why should we be treating Oak Bay sewage?’, and that’s simply the reality,” Young said.
“You might end up with a situation where nobody will agree to treat anyone else’s sewage and we end up with a plant for every municipality. I think that would be an extremely expensive outcome for the people of the region.”

Boost police budgetSo Oak Bay police will be able to
compensate for loss of the service provided by the Regional Crime Unit and dive team without increasing expenditures? If true, that is commendable efficiency. (That’s what your Nov. 14 issue effectively says.)
Of course their budget should be increased to properly protect individuals against initiation of force.
I challenge the new council to properly support police. There’s ample money in the typical municipal budget that is wasted on glitz, pet do-gooder projects and handouts to mooching organizations – that should be spent on job one of government.

TB more deadly than EbolaWhile the world watches in morbid
fascination as Ebola burns through west Africa, there’s another, more patient killer that will claim far more victims. Unlike Ebola, tuberculosis takes its victims slowly, ensuring that on average a TB sufferer infects
almost a dozen others before they are treated – or die.
Each year nine million people are newly infected with TB, a third never diagnosed. 1.4 million will die. These numbers dwarf the deaths by Ebola, the disease that has gripped the world with fear.
Ebola is a new threat and certainly needs attention. But for years now Canada has been at the forefront of helping the world rid itself of the ancient plague of TB. Canada launched TB REACH in 2009, and in its first year this program increased detection and treatment of TB up to 100 per cent in some areas. Its reach has since expanded to 145 projects in 36 countries, and millions of lives have been saved.
Canada is the sole funder of TB REACH, and the time for funding renewal is here. As we did in 2009, Canada needs to pledge another 120 million dollars over five years so that TB REACH can continue with its successful and innovative outreach programs.

Charities rely onthe holiday spirit
With November winding down and December looming large, Christmas-focused charities are ramping up their operations in preparation for the giving season.
While most of these charities and service organizations run all year long, providing valuable support in their communities, it’s at this time of
year that many shift their focus onto helping make the holiday season a little more joyous for families.
With that in mind, it’s a good time for all of us to consider how we might be able to help these “first-
world” humanitarian efforts.There are numerous places to donate, from
food banks and church hamper drives to toy and stocking stuffer drives.
One unique campaign (shoeboxproject.com/victoria.html) not specifically geared for Christmastime encourages donors to fill a shoebox with $50 worth basic toiletries and other small gifts, for women escaping violent and abusive relationships. Women often arrive at shelters and transition houses with little more than the clothes on their backs, so having some of the basic needs looked after can be a welcome gift, indeed.
The Mustard Seed Food Bank helps 7,000 people every month, making it the largest food bank on Vancouver Island.
For animal lovers, donations to the SPCA are always gratefully accepted. Another option is the Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre, which helps injured creatures regain their strength to be able to return to the wild.
And, of course, there are many regional efforts, such as the Salvation Army’s toy drive and hamper campaigns and the Santas Anonymous program overseen by CFAX radio. The Salvation Army is also collecting turkeys to serve the 500 meals prepared at the Addictions and Rehabilitation Centre on Christmas. Not everyone may feel they have the resources to give. The other option is to give your time as a volunteer.
No matter which option one chooses, the giving feels good no matter how big or small and can go a long way toward brightening the lives of those less fortunate around us.
Donations can make a large difference in so many lives
Deer pose a serious threat to residentsEarlier this month my wife and I
were driving home when we had to stop on the 100 block of Beach Drive as two very large bucks were rutting on the road and sidewalk. We had to back up and were stopped for over a minute as were vehicles coming from the other direction.
They eventually moved into one of the larger properties on the south side of Beach Drive. One of the bucks had an eye injury – the site was bleeding profusely. Good thing
there were no pedestrians present at the time. This is only one of many incidents/encounters we have had with deer in our immediate neighbourhood.
Our back garden is fenced – our only concern is personal safety for pedestrians and dog walkers. We need to proceed with the cull before someone or someone’s dog gets injured or killed and I do not believe that Oak Bay should go this alone. At the very least Saanich should
also be involved – the deer are everywhere.
Referring to the letter “Numbers don’t add up,” I believe a much cheaper solution may be available. Hire one or two licensed professional bow/crossbow hunters to eliminate the critters at night when the “Bambi Brigade” is not watching. It would likely be much cheaper and a more humane method to kill the deer.

The latest production company in Victoria is borne of the 150th anniversary arts committee at Congregation Emanu-El Synagogue.
“I was on that committee and Zelda Dean was on that committee. … We got to know each other pretty well and she has quite a background in theatre,” said Oak Bay resident Annie Weeks. “She wanted to start a theatre company in Victoria, and she has always wanted to deal with the issue of loss in people’s lives.”
They teamed up with Lesley Wicks, and this month Dean directs the company’s first presentation – 17 Stories by playwright Caroline Russell-King, a fictional tale based on personal interviews.
“The playwright came out
here and we set up a roster of 17 people who all sat and talked about the losses they’ve had in their lives,” said Weeks, who is also the production manager. “It was a very intimate situation.”
Each interview was about an hour long. Losses ranged from pets to personal identity to the more traditional loss of a loved one.
“It’s a fictional piece created out of the ideas that came out of that. There’s 17 scenes and she’s woven together these various ideas,” Weeks said.
Each actor in the ensemble of Michael Armstrong, Michael Bell, Melissa Taylor, Christine Upright and Jessica Van der Veen (also of Oak Bay) portrays multiple characters.

When Erik Abbink heard Montreal pianist Antoine Joubert would be in the area this week, the artistic director for the Oak Bay Music Society felt he’d be a good fit for the local audience.
“We’ve been in touch the last few weeks. We talked about programming and what to play and what my audience was like and we thought he’d be a good fit,” Abbink said. “It’s the repertoire that he’s playing. The Oak Bay audiences are probably looking for more traditional repertoire.”
Oak Bay Matinée is a monthly concert series, bringing classical music performed by outstanding local, regional and national performers, presented by the Oak Bay Music Society, a registered non-profit organization. During Joubert’s performance in the series on Sunday he’ll perform works by Bach, Chopin, Liszt and Janacek.
“He’s quite accomplished for what he’s doing and he’s really busy in Montreal,” Abbink said. “We try to support people who are at the beginning of their career and trying to build their career.”
In November 2013 he won the first prize and the Superstar prize for all categories at the B.C. Piano Talent
Superstar Competition. He also won the first prize in the national competitions at CCC Music Festival of Toronto (2012) and the first prize with gold medal at the Festival du Royaume (2011).
The concert will also be audio webcast for those unable to attend.
“It gets more people interested. There are people who would like
to go to the concert but can’t,” Abbink said.
“It’s just another way of keeping in touch with your audience.”
Joubert performs Sunday, Nov. 30 at 2:30 p.m. at St. Mary the Virgin, 1701 Elgin Rd. Tickets ($20/$15/$5) are available at Ivy’s Books, at the door and online at oakbaymusic.ca where the webcast is also available.

“Sometimes it’s funny, it’s kind of serious but it’s not that you won’t ever laugh, there’s moments of humour,” Weeks said. “The whole point was not people who’d suffered recent
losses, but losses over time… And really how they had learned to just keep living their lives. How we all carry on.”
17 Stories is not “verbatim” theatre, but rather a weaving together of personal experiences into a dramatic piece.
Bema Productions presents 17 Stories at the synagogue sanctuary, 1461 Blanshard St. on Nov. 29 and 30. Tickets are $10, and are available at Russell Books in Victoria, at Ivy’s Bookshop in Oak Bay and at the door.
The Crooked Brothers bring folk with a groove to the Upstairs Lounge tonight.
Hailing from Winnipeg, the
brothers meld their talents to create homegrown music touted as both gritty and pretty.
Matt Crooked’s unforgettably strange voice, inhuman and gravelly deep, and Darwin Crooked’s deft handling of the harmonica conspire with Jesse Crooked’s stories and poems turned into lyrics.
Their concerts see banjos, mandolins, guitars and more taking turns being juggled from brother to brother. Each having their own style and touch, the arrangements seem limitless, and there’s a refreshing sense that they will never write the same song twice.
The Crooked Brothers have performed to sold-out rooms at festivals overseas such as Brighton’s Great Escape and Willisau, Switzerland’s Spring Bluegrass Festival. They have toured 10
countries, played in nearly every province and territory in Canada, and released three full-length albums, as well as an EP that comes available exclusively on limited-edition postcards.
Their new album, Thank You I’m Sorry,
released this year was captured in the wide open spaces of both a warehouse and a handmade log home.
The Crooked Brothers perform Friday at 7:30 p.m. (doors at 6) in Oak Bay Recreation’s Upstairs Lounge, 1975 Bee St. Tickets
are $12 in advance at Ivy’s Bookshop and Oak Bay Recreation or at beaconridge productions.com online. Tickets are $15 at the door.

Safety Tip:Almost four in 10 respondents to an ICBC survey feel less confi dent driving in winter. Staying off the road can sometimes be a less stressful and safer option. Instead, take public transit, get a ride with a friend or
family member who is a confi dent driver, or take a taxi.
Question of the WeekThis week’s ICBC tip recommends that people who feel nervous driving in poor winter conditions should take the bus or call a cab. How bad would it have to be for you to park the car?

DrivewayCanada.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat
Getting your kicks on Route 66Riding the highway west along Route 66 for around 4,000 kilometres is on many people’s bucket lists.After completing the epic journey from Chicago to Santa Monica, California, I must say there were times during the 56 hours, 36 minutes of driving that I figured it might be the last item on my list!On the Nissan Altimate Rogue Trip we saw the spectacular in spades. And when the dozen journalist participants pulled up at the end of the road by the Santa Monica Pier, we shared a great sense of achievement. We all knew each other from new vehicle launch-es around the world, but this was different. This hardened, cynical bunch developed a greater camaraderie along the way and some even hugged as we gazed at the lapping waters of the Pacific.We climbed aboard the 2015 model Nissan Rogue crossovers and Altima sedans one very chilly Chicago Sunday and set out to retrace the route of this historic highway, which was decom-missioned in 1985, and replaced by the I-40 freeway. Actually, routes – plural – would be more accurate as the road, which carried hundreds of thousands seeking prosperity out west, has followed a number of paths since the late 1920s. The Mother road, as it is known, carried us through Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and finally California. For most of us, it was an adventure musically inspired by many versions of the song “Get your kicks on Route 66”.
I recall watching the TV show Route 66 in the 1960s but today tens of thousands are drawn each year to the highway by the 2006 animated movie Cars. The movie action takes place on the route, many of the fictitious locations are based on actual places, and real people inspired some of the characters.Space limitations permit just a sampling here of what we saw and did along the way. However, you can find a complete report of the journey, gallery of photographs, vid-eo links and how the vehicles fared as long-distance transportation at drivewaybc.ca. Our first contemporary culture reference came on the first day in Joliet, Illinois, where we were treated to action figures of the Blues Brothers dancing above a building close to where some of the movie action took place at the local penitentiary. The Bluesmobile was also on view, sitting atop a pole. The early part of the
route features many giant-sized statues of historic figures, such as Abe Lincoln, and not so historic figures promoting various products.Local communities have funded the restoration of many old service stations and many have a classic
car parked on the forecourt. I thought we would have the first crash of the trip when the first Rogue Altima, or maybe Altimate Rogue (referring to the
drivers, of course), screeched to a halt at the curb in Galena, Kansas. There at the front of the service station was the ‘real’ Tow Tater truck, on which the Cars’ character Tow Mater was based.On the way to Amarillo, Texas, we pulled into the U-Drop Inn – a building that is the exact replica of Ramone’s Body Art Shop in the movie. I guess that could be the other
way round.The next day, some of the group spray-painted messages (that’s the tradition) on the Cadillac Ranch art installation of ten Cadillacs, sunk nose first into the red dirt. Seen from a distance they bore an
uncanny resemblance to the Cadillac Mountain Range from, you guessed it, Cars.The semi-desert from Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Williams, Arizona offered stunning vistas and yet another movie reference. The rooms
of the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook are concrete teepees. (Cozy Cone Motel in Cars.). Side trips to the Petrified Forest and Grand Canyon National Parks left us all in awe and stunning views soon filled our camera memory sticks. The gold rush town of Oatman gave us an excellent send off for our last day though the Mojave Desert and down into Los Angeles.
‘‘On the Nissan Altimate Rogue Trip we saw the spectacular in spades. And when the dozen journalist participants pulled up at the end of the road by the Santa Monica Pier, we shared a great sense of achievement.’’Keith Morgan

Not all the action took place on the floor of the Los Angeles auto show.
At a mansion, high in the ritzy Hollywood Hills neigh-bourhood, Lincoln hosted a classy special event to launch its Black Label edition vehicles for the well-to-do.
Black Label vehicles will come fitted with one of four designer-inspired interiors that will feature ultra-posh Ve-netian leathers, Ziricote wood and Alcantara suede. Buyers also select from an exclusive array of exterior paints and custom colours and the vehicle will come with unique trim and lighting elements that will identify it as Black Label.
“These are our busiest customers and we've got to deliver a very unique and personalized product that can reflect the innermost passions of our customers,” said Lee Jelenic, Lincoln Marketing Manager (and a native of Sudbury, Ontario). “It has to go well beyond the product and provide membership privileges that fit where they are and around their time.”
The top five per cent of existing Lincoln customers are expected to move up to Black Label, according to Jelenic. And he expects about two-thirds of Black Label customers will be conquests from other luxury brands. “It's not exclu-sive to our most expensive products” he added “and will be offered on the entire product line and through selected dealers in major metropolitan areas, who meet internally set criteria.”
A separate Black Label salon will be added to the select-ed Lincoln dealers in the program, but a buyer may never actually need to go to a dealership. A Black Label liaison representative, from the dealer, will go to the customer, at their office, home, to show them the materials, themes in the package and arrange a test drive. If legal to do so in a particular jurisdiction, even the sale contract can also be finalized, without going into the dealership.
In addition to the unique buying experience, an owner also receives a number of perks, such as a better warranty
that includes wearable part replacement. They also get unlimited free car washes, a free once-a-year detailing and a concierge-style dealer pick-up, drop-off plus a free loaner vehicle when the vehicle goes in for service.
Black Label homes, like the one I visited in Hollywood, will feature the design themes and materials used in the vehicles and more will be set up in Dallas, Miami, New York and Michigan. In Canada, the Black Label cities are expected to be Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton. Lincoln also wants to link Black Label to a cul-tural or prominent event of some kind, within each city.
Initially, Black Label will only be available on two Lincoln products, the new MKC (compact crossover) and the MKZ sedan, and it comes with about a $6,000 (US) price premi-um. The plan is eventually to have a Black Label edition of every Lincoln, as all-new vehicles are added to the product line. A Canadian version of Black Label (similar to the US) is expected to be launched about this time next year.
Black Label for those with a taste for Lincoln

By Zack Spencer
In 2003, Porsche Cars North Ameri-ca shipped a number of its shiny, new, Porsche Cayenne SUVs from head office in Atlanta to drive the Sea to Sky highway here in BC.
The day started with a long expla-nation as to why the famed sports car maker was getting into the SUV game. History often repeats and here again in 2014, Porsche shipped roughly fifty new Cayenne S and SE Hybrids to the same scenic highway. This time around there was no explanation as to why this second-generation model exists: the Cayenne currently accounts for roughly fifty present of all Porsche sales.
LooksWhen the second generation Cay-
enne came out in 2011 it was a depar-ture from the previous model. In an effort to make the new 2015 facelift look more masculine, the goal was to make the Cayenne look more planted and wider. To do this, the entire front end, including the front bumper, grille, headlights, and front fenders have a more polished look. The daytime running lights have four LED marker lights that are also mimicked in the tail lamps, plus bi-xenon lamps are now standard. The front air intakes are wider and the hood looks more integrated into the design. Around the back, the rear window spoiler, hatch, bumper and exhaust tips are all new. The lights are more sculpted, the bumper has been raised and widened and the exhaust tips now pop through the lower valance. If the goal was to
make the Cayenne more masculine, mission accomplished.
InsideWhat hasn’t changed, thankfully,
is the interior. Three minor changes include a three-point sports steering wheel as standard equipment across the entire Cayenne line that includes paddle shifters and heat. The other changes include standard navigation and a slightly more sculpted rear seat. The level of fit and finish has yet to be surpassed in this class and the logical multi-button layout looks intimidating at first but is easy to master after a few days. In many ways, the competition looks frumpy and rather dated, even after four years on the market, the Cayenne is still fresh.
Cayenne goes back to the future
DriveThe base S used
to be fitted with a V8 engine, now a smaller 3.6L V6 with two turbocharges helps to produce an extra 20hp but saves fuel. This is the same engine that is
used in the smaller Porsche Macan Turbo. Accelerating up through the mountains was a snap but the sound from the engine and interior vibration isn’t as smooth as the old V8. The second new drive system is the plug-in SE-Hybrid that can run on pure electric power up to 30kms before the supercharged Audi-derived 3.0L gasoline V6 kicks in. This model can run on the 95hp electric motor alone, for greatest efficiency, or the electric motor can be used for additional punch for spirited moves. The com-bined output is 416hp and 435 lb.-ft. of torque. This is the very first plug-in hybrid in this class of vehicle. Last year the Porsche Panamera sedan came equipped with this system and accounted for roughly 11 percent of overall sales but that was a rear wheel drive only car, this Cayenne is all wheel
drive, which should appeal to more buyers.
VerdictThe greatest challenge
for the SE-Hybrid is the already practical and thrifty diesel Cayenne that delivers nearly as much torque and fantastic economy. Nothing can compete with pure electric driving for carbon reduction but it comes at a cost. The SE-Hybrid starts at $86,800 and the Diesel starts at $71,330, which leaves a ton of extra cash left over for those costly Porsche options. The new turbo V6 equipped Cayenne S now starts at $83,700, which poses a problem for buyers of the $82,200 Macan Turbo. Both start at roughly the same price but the Cayenne comes with boatloads more interior space, 20 more horsepower and the same Porsche crest on the hood. Now with more features, a sumptuous cabin and efficient power to spare.
The LowdownPower: 3.6L turbo V6 with 420hp or 416hp hybrid.Fill-up: Hybrid can run up to 30km on pure electric pow-er. Sticker price: $33,700-$86,800

This year’s flu shot may prove less effective than usual because the dominant virus now circulating has mutated significantly in the months since the vaccine was devised.
The H3N2 strain – one of three targeted in this year’s flu vaccine – is thought to have changed its genetic makeup enough to possibly thwart the antibodies that the vaccine activates.
Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an epidemiologist with the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, is still recommending the vaccine, particularly for the elderly, the chronically ill and those with compromised immune systems.
“It’s not a perfect match,” she said. “But for the high risk, even an imperfectly matched vaccine is going to give cross protection. And for some people it could be life-saving.”
She said the H3N2 strain tends to be particularly nasty to the elderly and may bring a
deadlier flu season than usual.“We may see more hospitalizations or deaths
this year,” Skowronski said.She said it’s particularly concerning that the
flu has struck B.C. surprisingly early this season, causing outbreaks in eight seniors’ care homes.
The vaccine was formulated last February because it takes six to eight months to produce in large quantities and the H3N2 virus is thought to have since mutated while circulating in the southern hemisphere.
The vaccine also targets the influenza B and H1N1 viruses, but they’re considered less likely to cause illness this flu season.
Even in years when the vaccine is a better fit – last year’s was about 70 per cent effective against the then-dominant H1N1 strain – Skowronksi says everyone should wash their hands frequently and avoid touching their eyes, nose and mouth.
People who get the flu shot often mistakenly think any illness they contract can’t be flu and sometimes fail to get appropriate treatment.
Shoppers urged to think local firstAndrea PeacockBlack Press
Greater Victoria businesses are asking the public to think local first, as the third annual Think Local Week rolls out next week.
Think Local First Victoria is an initiative consisting of Greater Victoria business owners that aims to encourage residents to shop at local businesses.
“The primary focus of Think Local Week is to educate the public on the benefits of buying local,” said Gayle Robinson, presi-dent of Think Local First Victo-ria and owner of Robinson’s Out-door Store. “When you spend 10 per cent of your money locally, 25 per cent more stays in Victoria.”
Think Local Week runs from
Dec. 1 to 7. Through promotion in all participating businesses, Rob-inson hopes to raise the profile of local businesses.
“I think Victoria has a huge appetite for supporting local businesses,” Robinson said.
Nigel Brown, vice-president of Think Local First Victoria and owner of Ruffell & Brown Window Fashions, said local businesses create a unique, competitive shopping experience in a com-munity.
“The biggest misconception is a lot of people think local inde-pendent businesses are not competitive in terms of pric-ing,” Brown said. “Not only are we competitive, but you get a lot more service and other benefits you might not get at some of the
other places.”Along with creating awareness,
Think Local First will also be host-ing a social media campaign, in which it will be giving away $1,000 in gift cards throughout the week via Facebook and Twitter.
In the new year, Think Local First Victoria will be launching a new loyalty card campaign.
Think Local First has more than 165 businesses as members in Greater Victoria, 20 of which will be used as a test for the pilot project.
Shoppers will have one card that can be used at any of the participating businesses, where they will earn points on their pur-chases. Those points can then be redeemed online for products or gift cards, for example.

Finding heroes in our midst
The HeroWork Society is searching for charities which need renovations in 2015.
To date, HeroWork has organized $1 million worth of non-profit renovations, including the Mustard Seed and Threshold Housing Society.
“HeroWork organizes modern-day versions of old-fashioned barn raisings, called Redial Community Renovations. These are fast-paced, leadership-driven
renovation events that bring people, communities and companies together to renew non-profit infrastructure,” said Paul Latour, founder of HeroWork.
Before HeroWork can move forward with projects next year it needs to raise $50,000 with its first-ever Fund-a-Reno Campaign. HeroWork’s ability to renovate charities in 2015 hinges on this campaign.
The campaign kicks off Saturday (Nov. 29) with HeroWork’s special premiere of its documentary film, showcasing the society’s last renovation for youth-at-risk centre. The premier is
combined with dinner, music, and dancing.
On Dec. 1, HeroWork launches its first crowdfunding campaign.
Then on Dec 4 at 8 p.m. there will be a “by donation” airing of the documentary at the Oak Bay Gospel United Church. This is followed on Dec 5 by a concert at the Alex Goolden Hall called Thrill of Hope: an Night of Christmas Music. Put on by a collective of musicians from across the city, this concert has been coordinated through Worship Victoria.
For further information, please go online to herowork.com.

Help Prevent Heart Attacks with Vitamin C and Lysine Powder
Why is heart attack the number one killer in this
country? Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to athero-sclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiolo-gists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack.
Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy colla-gen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling reported twenty-five years ago it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack.
Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Welling-ton University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death.
Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries.
Sixteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal.
I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking cholesterol lowering drugs (CLD’s). I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications.
I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens ir-refutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent.
But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus™ is available at health food stores and specialty pharmacies.
The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop mixed with water or juice with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day.
This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. That is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors.
As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine! I turned 90 this year.

Blasting rock for the purposes of building has increased dramatically, thanks in part to advancements in technology.
Engineering companies such as Western Grater Contracting provide a number of services, and blasting is a key one.
They’re called on to blast out rock for more than just the foundations of new homes, but also for renovations and upgrades.
“Blasting for renovations or upgrades is equally as common as blasting for new houses, though it’s not often in average homeowner’s budget, unless it’s a questionably compromised (foundation) or bank,” said Western Grater project director Matt Floch.
With less undeveloped property available in 2014 than in the past, and the added value of real estate, there is a general acceptance among builders and developers to build on property that will require substantial blasting for the foundation.
“In the old days, the 1980s and ‘90s, you would avoid bedrock more often,
you didn’t want to blast if you didn’t have to. But it’s changed,” said Gerry Koutougos, a developer who partnered on the 42-unit Midtown Park condominium in Saanich.
While the soil below Midtown Park was without any substantial rock, Kougtougos has been building houses and other deveiopments on top of bedrock since the 1980s.
“These days you don’t worry about (whehter) a property is on top of rock. If you need to blast it, you blast it. The technology is so great now, yes it’s
expensive, but you can build.”
The general process of blasting is surprisingly minimal, considering the amount of blasting powder piped into the ground. Few, if any neighbours complain, as the blasts are so localized and spread apart.
“If it’s residential, close to adjacent properties, we use smaller diameter holes and are not drilling to great depths, usually between four to 10 feet,” Floch said. “So we don’t get too much of what we call ‘powder factor,’ it’s
not too many explosives at once, we connect them through safe blasting.”
Drill holes are usually about one to 1.5 inches in diameter on a three foot spacing grid. The process contains the majority of the blast energy, which retains it into the rock.
“It’s all to industry standard,” Floch said.
“No two holes are going off at the same time so it mitigates the ground vibrations, the (legal) standard is 50 millimeters per second of ground vibration.”
And of course, no
damages can be construed from blasting on adjacent structures.
Foundations can be as simple as blasting for the purposes of adding an anchor, such as in seismic upgrades.

Blast mats can be seen frequently in areas around Greater Victoria where the ground is rich in rocky outcrops.

Ask the Expert
What are some of the main matters I should be addressing when investigating Retirement Communities?
Seniors’ Edition

Linda at Berwick House, (250) 721-4062 or email her at [email protected]
A:
Q:
1. Are you looking for Bingo or serious hiking? Knowing your interests and matching them to what is being o� ered at an RC can be the di� erence between being stimulated or being bored.
2. Will I � t into a RC? Get to know your potential neighbours by visiting an RC more than once. Participate in a few activities, meals, events, and even a guest stay. Most communities are happy to host you in this way to provide an opportunity to see how you will � t in.
3. Will I be placed on a waitlist? Most RC’s have some suites available at any given time. While they may not have the ‘perfect’ suite you are looking for they usually give preference to their internal residents. Move in, go on an internal waitlist and relocate when your ‘perfect’ suite becomes available…if you still desire to do so. Waiting on an external waitlist could take months or years for ‘the perfect suite’. Do your due diligence, know what you are looking for and move while you are well and able.
4. Is there a continuum of care? RC’s vary greatly in their care services. Some residences o� er Independent Living (IL) only. � is usually includes meals (all or some) housekeeping, linen service, utilities, transportation, and recreation services. Some RC’s also o� er Assisted Living (AL) which includes IL services plus, at additional cost, services such as medication reminders or management, bathing assist, personal laundry, etc. Some RC’s o� er IL, AL and “light” Complex Care (mobile with a one person assist). It is more challenging to � nd RC’s o� ering the full range of care from IL to Extended or “heavy” Complex Care (2 person assist, heavy li� equipment and/or locked unit for anyone with wandering tendencies). Do your homework! Visit the RC’s you believe will meet your present and future needs.
