Victorians, get out your wallets.Property taxes will increase by 2.2 per cent this year –
the lowest increase in years. “We wanted to keep taxes as low as possible, because
I think the sentiment around the [council] table was if we’re trying to make Victoria affordable for everyone, that needs to include and be focused on our small busi-ness community and also seniors,” said Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps.
Last year’s tax increase was 2.3 per cent for busi-nesses and 2.75 per cent for residential. Before that, the increase was 3.25 per cent.
“My commitment when I ran was to keep property taxes in line with inflation. But that can’t be done in one year,” said Helps. “We need to build the tax base.”
Coun. Geoff Young, the only councillor to oppose the 2.2 per cent tax increase, felt the lower increase was not low enough.
“I believe that this would have been a good year to come in with a tax rate that was significantly below what inflation is expected to be, rather than still be above it,” he said.
“I wasn’t going to suggest that we go to zero [per cent], but I certainly felt that this was a year where we could have gone below two per cent.”
Helps said she aims to increase taxes by less and less over council’s four-year term.

A Victoria resident’s heroic efforts during the Second World War will be honoured with a new Royal Canadian Navy ship that will be named after her.
Margaret Brooke learned of the honour when Defence Minister Jason Kenney had a telephone conversation with her on April 10, which was also her 100th birthday.
The following day Commodore Bob Auchterlonie, commander Canadian Fleet Pacific, made a personal visit.
Brooke, a Royal Canadian Navy Nursing Sister, was decorated for gallantry during the Second World War. The actions followed the torpedo and subsequent sinking of the Newfoundland Ferry SS Caribou on Oct. 13, 1942.
Her Majesty’s Canadian Ship Margaret Brooke will be built this fall, part of a fleet of six Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ships named after naval heroes.
The navy will employ the ships to conduct sovereignty and surveillance operations in Canadian waters on all three coasts, including the Arctic.
“I was and remain very proud of my years serving in the Royal Canadian Navy and thank all who were involved in making my 100th birthday an even more memorable occasion,” Brooke said in a written statement.

Former Black Press executive earns prestigious newspaper award
Kevin LairdVictoria News
The first time you meet Bob Grainger it can be intimidating. The retired Black Press newspaper executive is an imposing presence.
But ask anyone who has worked with Grainger and they’ll say you couldn’t meet a nicer guy.
“He definitely has a game face that is rough and tough, but he cares more about people and newspapers than anyone,” says longtime friend and co-worker Mark Warner, who has known Grainger for 22 years.
To Grainger, it’s always been about the people and “doing a good job.”
So, it shouldn’t be surprising that Grainger will be honoured with the prestigious Eric Dunning Award for Dedication and Service to the Community Newspaper Industry, when the B.C. and Yukon Community Newspaper Association meets for its annual convention at the end of April.
“I’m very surprised about the award,” says Grainger, 71, a Saanich resident.
From hardware salesman to being the right-hand man of Black Press founder David Black – Grainger’s 33 years in the newspaper business has been colourful.
It began in 1976 when Black was the owner and publisher of the Williams Lake Tribune and was in need of a sales manager for his growing newspaper.
Black wanted someone who was aggressive and well-respected in the business community. It took a little convincing, but before long Grainger joined up with Black and a unique partnership was
formed that would last more than 30 years.
In 1978, Grainger became the publisher of the Williams Lake Tribune and by 1980 he was the president of Cariboo Press, making Grainger responsible for the chain of newspapers Black had put together throughout the Interior of B.C.
In 2000, Black Press had
expanded greatly taking in most of B.C. and Washington State, not to mention Hawaii, and Grainger took on more responsibilities by becoming president of the Prairie Group as well as Cariboo Press.
He was named chief operating officer in 2002 and moved to Victoria from Williams Lake to work alongside Black.
“David trusted me explicitly,” Grainger said. “We were very good friends. We did all the good things together and all the bad things together. I loved his family and they loved me.”
Black said Grainger was a quick study and an asset to the company.
“I’m not surprised he stayed around for so long. I was always able to give him new challenges, and he got the job done,” Black said.
“He was a lot of fun to be around, too.”
Grainger always remained committed to his community, and expected the same from his newspaper staff.
For him it started with the minor sports his kids were involved with – hockey and football – and soon morphed into other areas such as service clubs, community boards and organizations like the Williams Lake Stampede and Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
When he came to Greater Victoria, Grainger became the honourary chairman of JDRF and raised thousands of dollars for the charity.
“I want to leave this world with some confidence that I helped change some people lives and I think I did that,” Grainger says.
Warner, who nominated Grainger for the award, says his former boss was a mentor to many people and organizations.
“Bob is wonderful. Staff and community residents know him as a forthright leader and an honest man with an engaging personality,” Warner says.
For Grainger, it was all in a day’s work.
Since his retirement, he’s played it low-key. He does a little fishing, hunting, golfing and has had more time to devote to his woodworking hobby.
One thing he does miss about working, though, is the people.
“I miss people amazingly. It was the best ride. It was the best thing in my life,” he says.
I miss people amazingly. It was the best ride. It was the best thing in my life.“
“

Bob Grainger retired from Black Press in 2009. On April 25 he’ll receive the prestigious Eric Dunning Award for Dedication and Service to the Community Newspaper Industry, when the B.C. and Yukon Community Newspaper Association meets for its annual convention.

The victim of a suspicious death in Victoria last week has been identified as 34-year-old Shaun Alexander McGregor of Victoria.
The Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit was called in to investigate after it was determined that the man’s death was suspicious.
Officers were called to the 1500-block of Begbie Street at approximately 7:30 p.m. on April 9 where they discovered McGregor’s body. He was pronounced dead on scene.
An autopsy is scheduled to determine the cause of death.
Investigators are also seeking the public’s assistance in locating Chelse Burns, a person of interest, who may have information that could further the ongoing investigation.
Police asks for anyone with information to call the VicPD non-emergency line at 250-995-7654.
Anonymous tips can be shared through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
Police are also continuing to investigate two other suspicious deaths.
On March 5, the body of Scott Owen Smith, 26, was found in the Inner Harbour, and Peter Hunter Thompson was found dead in his Michigan Street apartment on Feb. 18.

CRD nets 10 technical submissions
The Capital Regional District’s core area wastewater committee needs to tread carefully with new technological information, says CRD chair Nils Jensen.
The CRD received 10 submissions to its request for technical information, which staff said contain, “a signifi-cant volume of techni-cal information which should prove useful to the Westside and East-side select committees and the technical sup-port teams working to develop conceptual
options as well as the technical team that will undertake the detailed analysis and costing evaluations.”
They were offered up to the core area liq-uid waste management committee for com-ment last week.
“One of the things P3 Canada has made clear is they will only support proven tech-nology, technology that has been shown to be effective and used else-where. They want to take as little risk as pos-sible with their money,”
Jensen said. “Some of these lead-
ing-edge innovate tech-nologies are very excit-ing and very interest-ing. Some are five and 10 years away from being usable, so there’s a high risk with some of these technologies.”
Industry represen-tatives will present their submissions to the CRD’s Request for Technical Information during Innovation Days at Royal Roads Univer-sity on April 27, 28 and 29.
“The job of the com-mittee now is to work our way through this and see what kind of technology is suit-able for our particular region,” Jensen said.
“That weighing pro-cess is not easy but certainly it involves looking at the track record for those tech-nologies. When there’s a $750-million invest-ment on the line, you have to be very care-ful in choosing the right technology.”

Playoff hockey is returning to Canada in a big way.
After the pain of the previous National Hockey League season when only the Montreal Canadiens made the post-season, the Vancouver Canucks, Calgary Flames, Winnipeg Jets, the Habs and the Ottawa Senators will all bring playoff excitement to the streets of their respective cities.
In Winnipeg, where they haven’t seen playoff action since the Jets left town to become the Coyotes, they were already partying in the streets when Calgary defeated the Kings to clinch it for Manitoba hockey fans.
Only the Leafs and Oilers failed to make it, after Ottawa came through with a win against Philadelphia to clinch a playoff berth.
Unfortunately it may be “next year” for a few more seasons in Toronto and Edmonton.
However it’s one thing to be excited about heading into the playoffs and it’s another to even consider the Stanley Cup coming north of the border for the first time since 1993, when the Montreal Canadiens won their 24th Cup.
At this juncture it’s anybody’s guess who will win it, although Montreal has to be considered the favourite amongst the True North Strong and Free contingent.
We do know that either Calgary or Vancouver will advance to the second round because they play each other.
Other than that it’s anybody’s guess and that’s what makes the second season so exciting, it really is a crapshoot and if things fall into place and a team gets on a roll …
Go, Canada, go.
Living poor– for a cause
I’m not looking forward to the end of the month.
As part of a global antipoverty fundraiser, I’ve vowed to take part in a program called Live Below the Line.
The unfortunate reality is that 1.5 billion people live on $1.75 a day or less. As a plump and well-fed Westerner, I’ve been challenged to do the same and see how it feels. I have to live for five days on less than a cup of coffee a day. Pretty much rice and beans.
I’ve done it before, and it’s very hard. No more food or drink for pleasure, for comfort. Eating just to stay alive. Profoundly bland, low in nutrition. No variety. Think how often you enjoy the taste of your food, look forward to your meal.
Now imagine an amorphous lump of cooked grains two or three times a day. Nothing green, no meat, no fruit. Day after day.
This is the reality for far too many, and it’ll be mine for
five days.Find someone doing Live
Below the Line and be generous, because while they endure this for five days, for 1.5 billion it’s never-ending; a preventable reality.

A ‘hellish nightmare’ comes close to reality
It’s been awhile since I woke up in a cold sweat after a hellish nightmare. The City of Victoria had eliminated its fledgling economic development department.
Not only that, the City of Victoria had found untold millions and had backfilled all of the empty stores downtown to house the homeless and now were negotiating terms for purchase of The Bay Centre to expand the service. City of Victoria taxpayers were not the least bit miffed that they were going to paint the building red and erect a monstrous eighty-foot red marquee to
flash, “ Canada’s homeless welcome! Great weather! Free doggy daycare and spa! Wifi! International bookings taken!”
Just to add anguish, the BC government had totally eliminated funding to tackle substance abuse and mental health issues.

Tenant insurance is an absolute must
It seems every few weeks lately there is yet another story of a family losing everything in a home fire, and then the revelation that they had no tenant fire insurance. The community responds, a fund is set up, donations are accepted of cash, clothing and household items.
This is all fine, but why do people not get their priorities right and have the proper insurance?
Various spokespeople from a number of fire departments
have been quoted as saying that this needs to be done, for prices ranging from only $200 to $500 annually.
It is difficult to have sympathy for those who lost everything and have no insurance if instead they decided to put this money into lower priorities such as smoking, or booze, or lottery tickets, meals out, cable TV, or a fancy cellphone plan.
Tenant insurance needs to be an absolute must for any landlord who rents to someone, and failure by a tenant to provide proof of such insurance should perhaps be grounds for eviction.

Watching grizzly bears catch and eat salmon as they swim upstream to spawn is an unforgettable experience. Many people love to view the wild drama. Some record it with photos or video. But a few want to kill the iconic animals – not to eat, just to put their heads on a wall or coats on a floor.
The spring grizzly kill started April 1 and extends for several weeks, followed by a second fall season. By year’s end, several hundred will have died at the hands of humans, close to 90 per
cent shot by trophy hunters – many of them foreign licence-holders, as the B.C. government plans to enact new regulations to allow hunters from outside B.C. to take 40 per cent of grizzlies slated for killing.
The government also plans to allow foreign interests and corporations to buy and run guide-outfitting territories previously run only by B.C. residents. Local hunting organizations say the new rules put them at a disadvantage.
In the controversy over regulatory changes, we’ve lost touch with the fact that the grizzly trophy hunt is horrific, regardless of whether bears are killed by resident hunters or big-game hunters who pay thousands of dollars for the chance to kill a bear here – often because it’s illegal in their home countries.
Grizzlies once roamed much of North America, from Mexico to the Yukon
and from the West Coast through the Prairies. Habitat loss and overhunting have since shrunk their range by more than half. In Canada, 16 subgroups are on the brink of extinction, including nine in south-central B.C.
and Alberta’s entire grizzly population.
Just how many bears reside in B.C. is in dispute. The government claims more than 15,000 grizzlies live here, but Raincoast Conservation Foundation science director Chris Darimont, a University of Victoria conservation biologist, puts the number closer to the government’s earlier estimate of 6,600 – before it doubled that in 1990 based on a single
study in southeastern B.C.’s Flathead area.
According to a Maclean’s article, in 2000, the government “suppressed the work of one of its own biologists, Dionys de Leeuw, for suggesting the hunt
was excessive and could be pushing the bears to extinction. De Leeuw was later suspended without pay for having pursued the line of inquiry.” The government then pursued a five-year legal battle with groups including Raincoast Conservation to keep its grizzly kill data sealed.
Allan Thornton, president of the British Environmental Investigation Agency, which has studied B.C. grizzly management since the late
1990s, is blunt about the government’s justification.
“The British Columbia wildlife department does not use rigorous science,” he told the Vancouver Observer. In 2004, the European Union banned imports of all B.C. grizzly parts into member countries after its analysis found the hunt to be unsustainable.
Even the economic case is shaky. Studies by the Centre for Responsible Travel and Raincoast Conservation conclude revenue from bear-viewing is far higher than revenue from grizzly hunting.
Grizzly population health is an indicator of overall ecosystem health, and bears are important to functioning ecosystems. They help regulate prey such as deer and elk, maintain forest health by dispersing seeds and aerating soil as they dig for food, and fertilize coastal forests by dragging salmon carcasses into the woods.
Hunting isn’t the only
threat. Habitat loss, decreasing salmon runs, collisions with vehicles and other conflicts with humans also endanger grizzlies. Because they have low reproduction rates, they’re highly susceptible to population decline. Hunting is one threat we can control.
According to polls, almost 90 per cent of B.C. residents oppose hunting grizzlies for trophies. Scientists say it’s unsustainable. The Coastal First Nations coalition has banned grizzly hunting in its territories, but the government doesn’t recognize the ban. The Raincoast Conservation Foundation has bought hunting licences in an attempt to reduce bear kills on the coast.
Simply put, most British Columbians are against the grizzly trophy hunt. It’s time for the government to listen to the majority rather than industry donors and ban this barbaric and unsustainable practice.
It’s time to end the grisly trophy hunt

The inaugural Get Ready Get Local food and sustainable agriculture expo takes over the Victoria Conference Cen-tre this Saturday, April 18, bringing con-sumers together with local farms, food producers and sustainability educators.
It’s a brand new collaboration between the Capital Region Food and Agriculture Ini-tiatives Roundtable (CRFAIR), the Island Chefs’ Collaborative and FarmFolk CityFolk.
“One of the unique qualities is that it’s three
different organizations putting this together to ultimately support food sustainability in the
Greater Victoria area and on Vancouver Island,” said Bob Thompson.
Thompson, a municipal councillor in Central Saanich, is working with CRFAIR to help spread the word and encourage people to come out to the expo.
“That’s really what it’s about, is work-ing together and bringing together indus-
try, producers and consumers,” he says. “It’s creating consumer awareness. I think
that as always, consumers are the key. Consum-ers need to make choices in terms of buying local food.”
“And it’s not just about buying direct from the farm. It’s also the folks that are using local prod-ucts to make interesting, value-added foods.”
The expo will also give industry members the chance to meet, pairing restaurants with local farms and markets with food producers.
Workshops through the afternoon will cover popular topics such as backyard chickens, edible landscaping, backyard bees and food photogra-phy, as well as how the soil can shape wine fla-vours and even information on micro loans and community lending for small food businesses.
The main stage has some fantastic demonstra-tions throughout the afternoon, including how to spice up local produce with ethnic flavours with Chef Heidi Fink, a sausage making workshop with Chef Cory Pelan from The Whole Beast, a canning at home demo with Bernardin Home Canning, and Maki rolling, making sushi with local, sustainable fish with Chef Andrew Shepard from the Vancou-ver Island Sea Salt Company.
Offering much more than your run-of-the-mill farmers’ market, Get Ready Get Local is a great place to start if you’re interested in food security and living sustainably.
The local fare fair runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sat-urday, April 18 at the Victoria Conference Centre, 720 Douglas Street.
Admission is $5 at the door or online at http://bit.ly/1O7ucj1. All workshops are included in the price of admission. Chefs and alcohol producers will be selling tasters for $2 per sample.
Industry members can still book a booth and are eligible for the industry only reception from 3 to 5 p.m. to talk shop, exchange ideas and net-work.

In honour of its 75th anniver-sary, the Naden Band created two commemorative CDs this year.
The first, Snapshots of Excel-lence, features all of the band’s small ensembles, including jazz ensembles, woodwind and saxo-phone quintets and more.
“Everything except our sym-phonic concert band is on there,” said Karen Shields, spokesper-
son and flautist for the band.The second CD, Portraits of
Excellence, is a historical CD of the band’s music from the last 75 years.
“It’s a historic compilation of the band,” said Shields. “You can hear the difference of the band from back in day from 75 years ago. It’s an interesting perspec-tive.”
The CDs will not be for sale, but they will be available as prizes at upcoming Naden Band concerts.
The 75th anniversary is a sign
of the important role the Naden Band plays in Victoria, said Shields.
“It’s really because of the pub-lic support that we have this great tradition of the Naden Band.”
The band will be hosting the International Military Band Con-cert at the Royal Theatre on June 19.
There will also be an anniver-sary concert at the Royal Theatre on Sept. 11.

“I don’t want to be known as a fiscally-conserva-tive municipality. I want to be known as a munici-pality that keeps taxes in line with what people can afford and delivers great services and a high quality of life, because that’s what people want.”

Surrey resident Linda Webster is now the proud owner of a Nissan LEAF, as the winner of our Plug-In to Win contest.“I’m so excited because I’ve taken an interest in electric cars for some time but never dreamed I would own one,” said Linda, as she clutched the keys outside of Jonker Nissan, in Langley.“I’m going to really enjoy seeing how much I can get out of each charge… I’ll let you know!”With a range of in excess of 120 kilometres on a full charge, Linda figures she will be able to visit friends and family in Vancouver.British Columbia’s SCRAP-IT Program kindly sup-plied us with the eco-friendly sedan for the contest, which attracted a record-breaking 34,558 entries, the biggest Black Press contest ever. The five-seater car was displayed at the SCRAP-IT booth at the recent Vancouver International Auto Show, where it attracted thousands of admiring looks.SCRAP-IT announced its new incentive program in Driveway just before the show. It’s offer-ing a $3,000 rebate for electric car purchasers if they scrap a year 2000 or older vehicle. This is in addition to the newly announced provincial government program.SCRAP-IT Program CEO Dennis Rogoza revealed: “Ve-hicles model 2000 or older emit up to 60 times more emissions than later models and electric vehicles have even much lower emissions.”Qualifying electric vehicles are listed on the SCRAP-IT.ca website.

Family wagon with sporty genesCompact crossovers are perfect for moving families around in comfort and confidence, especial-ly when equipped with all wheel drive (AWD).With so many new entries coming into the market, challenging the established frontrunners like the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4 and Ford Escape, each manufac-turer needs an angle. Mazda’s approach with the 2016 CX-5 is a sporty attitude and upscale amenities. Mazda has taken the original CX-5, which first arrived in 2013 and has given it more features, a new front design but kept the same “Zoom-Zoom” attitude.LooksThe Mazda CX-5 is not as big as the CR-V or Nissan Rouge but larger than the VW Tiguan or Hyundai Tucson. It is small enough to make city manoeuvering easy but large enough for an average family. The updates to the exterior for 2016 include a new, more bold front grille, reworked front bumper and on the top GT (seen here), LED headlights, fog lights and taillights. The GT also gets great looking 19-inch wheels, and the lower trim levels are fitted with 17-inch wheels.InsideWhat sets the CX-5 apart from much of the
competition is a class-above dash and interior. Most of the products in this class come fitted with hard, cheap-feeling dashboards and utilitarian feeling switches and dials. Mazda has invested heavily in the interior, producing a soft touch dash, smooth and sophisticated looking and feeling switchgear, all making the cabin more upscale. On the base model, buyers must invest in the $1,900 convenience package to get essential items like Bluetooth, radio controls on the steering wheel and the new HMI centre control unit that interacts with the 7-inch centre screen. This brings the price to $26,795, placing it right in the middle of the compact market. The middle
$29,249 GS trim will be the volume seller, thanks to a bigger engine and a new height adjustable passenger seat, two USB connectors in the centre console, and blind spot moni-toring system. The top $34,895 GT trim (seen here) adds automatic climate control, standard navigation, 19-inch wheels and leather interior. Unfortunately, none of the CX-5 models come with a power tailgate. DriveMazda has stuck with the 155hp 2.0L direct injection engine and a manual transmission in
the base model. This combo is only available with front wheel drive (FWD). If the base en-gine is paired with the all wheel drive (AWD) system, then the buyer needs to choose the 6-speed automatic. The middle GS and top GT trim come with the more powerful 184hp 2.5L 4-cylinder. The GS can be equipped with FWD or AWD and all GT models come standard with AWD. What sets this apart from the competition is the handling and dynamic feel Mazda bakes into its products. The CX-5 can be thrown into corners with true confidence but the suspension is never jarring. The GS and GT also come standard with a sport setting for the transmission that is too aggressive for daily use. The base setting works the best and when more power is needed, I tended to flick the transmission to manual mode for a more precise experience.
Verdict It might not be the least expensive vehicle in this hot compact crossover segment but due to a conventional 6-speed automatic and class above amenities, it’s certainly in the running as a segment leader.

By Alexandra Straub
Los Angeles/Palm Springs, CA – For 2015, Dodge introduces a new breed of Journey. One that has more visual appeal, lots of power and a few features to keep your drive exciting, even when it isn’t.Enter the Crossroad AWD edition. It’s clad in a Redline exterior pearl paint, and sparkles under the Californian sun or any sun for that matter.Thanks to distinctive front and rear fascias with Platinum Chrome accents, Platinum Chrome side sills, Platinum Chrome roof rails, dark-tinted head-lamps and tail lamps, and unique 19-inch Hyper Black aluminum wheels, it tends to garner looks from all passersby.This particular Journey is a much better looking vehicle than I had anticipated and I’m impressed with how it has evolved since its introduction in 2009. But it’s not just looks alone that make this crossover one of the best selling products in the Dodge lineup, and one that has earned numerous accolades.Inside, a visually stimulating cabin also welcomes the driver and passengers.First off, leather seats with sport mesh inserts come standard. Then you have Liquid Graphite appliques, a 213.4mm (8.4-inch) Uconnect touchscreen and a power driver’s seat and passenger fold flat seat with in-seat storage.The in-seat storage is a feature I found exceptionally handy, particularly when I wanted to tuck away some miscella-neous items I purchased along the road.
Or I wanted to keep my snacks out of the sun when driving hours on end in California!Along the undulating SoCal roads, it was quite handy to have the 3.6L, Pentastar V6 engine under its hood for that extra bit of power I used climbing hills. It comes with a healthy helping of 283 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque and is matched with a six-speed automatic transmission that shifts with ease and smoothness.Additionally, the Crossroad version has a
temperate nature and one that is pleas-ant to drive for long hauls. It absorbs road imperfections without jarring the passengers inside.The only snag comes when you want to accelerate quickly to pass someone. There’s a generous helping of torque steer so make sure you give yourself enough room in the lane to accommo-date for it. Yes, it’s an all-wheel drive, so it’s not, by nature, prone to this type of action, but this particular vehicle was.Despite its size, it doesn’t feel like a
chore to manouevre. Especially when navigat-ing through the In-n-Out Burger drive-thru for a pre road trip delicacy. Though there were only three people in the cabin of the Journey at any given time, there is room for up to seven people.Furthermore, the third and second row fold down easily to load or unload larger ticket items, such as a road bike I had rented while in the Palm Springs area. When it comes to cargo space, behind the second row seats, you have a gener-ous 1,000L, and behind the third row – when they are up – there’s 300L.Ingress and egress is also a strong feature of the Journey. Despite its SUV DNA, the seats aren’t so high off the ground that it requires passengers, both young and young at heart, to hoist themselves up and in.And I can’t forget to mention just how great it is to work with the Uconnect infotainment system. Entering in a des-tination into the navigation is probably the most intuitive and user-friendly in the industry. The 8.4-inch screen is large and therefore doesn’t require me to take my eyes off the road for longer than necessary.Music through the speakers – via
the SiriusXM stations or my playlists – kept me grooving even in rush hour traffic. With the count-less kilometres logged on this Dodge, it wasn’t too hard to find much joy in this new Journey.In fact, it was quite a treat.
The base MSRP of the 2015 Dodge Journey Crossroad AWD is $35,395. [email protected]

The joy of playing and the drive to keep improving is what has kept a young Victoria woman passionate about play-ing soccer for most of her life.
Emily Moore, 16, started playing soc-cer when she was five years old and has not stopped since.
“My dream is to play on the national team,” she said. “But there’s a dream before that, and it’s to play in university.”
Moore, a Grade 11 student at Esqui-malt High School, also attends the Cana-dian Sports School at the Pacific Insti-tute for Sport Excellence, where she does physical training and also attends sport performance seminars.
Moore, a goalkeeper, plays for the Vic-
toria Highlanders, in the Metro Women’s League. She described playing on this team as one of her biggest accomplish-ments.
“It’s nice to play on the top team,” she said.
Dave Dew, head coach of the High-landers, has been coaching Moore for just over a year.
“She’s very good with all the other players. She’s got a real positive attitude that’s infectious amongst everybody,” he said.
Part of working toward joining Can-ada’s national soccer team includes earning a scholarship at a top school in either the U.S. or eastern Canada, said Moore.
Recently, Western Washington Univer-sity invited her down to play with the
team and tour the school.“It was a really good experience,” she
said.Dew said he has been approached by
several universities in Canada and the U.S. inquiring about Moore.
“She is definitely going to get an opportunity,” he said. “She can hit a ball off the ground harder than pretty much any girl in the province.”
Moore’s favourite part of being a goalie is the rush of making a big save for her team.
In 2012, she received the Keeper of the Year award while playing for Victoria’s Gorge FC team.
“She’s got a real confident personal-ity,” said Dew. “She’s one of the top can-didates in high school goalkeepers.”

Every day millions of women slap on body moisturizer, apply lipstick or mascara without a second thought about what they are putting on their skin. A study from the UK claims that the average woman applies more than 500 chemicals to her body every day dur-ing her beauty routine.
Why should you be concerned?Chemicals such as parabens (a synthetic preserv-ative in everything from toothpaste to shampoo) and phthalates (a class of chemicals that are found in many “fragranced” beauty products such as lo-tions, perfumes and deodorants) are classified as xenoestrogens. Xenoestrogens mimic our natural estrogens creating hormone chaos by increasing the total amount of estrogen, resulting in a condition called estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance has been implicated in many conditions including: breast and prostate cancer, obesity, infertility, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, early onset puberty, hormonal acne and PMS.
Xeno-Detox Every Day EstroSense is a comprehensive liver detoxifier that gently supports the elimination of harmful environ-mental toxins and helps to bring back hormone synergy. Along with other key ingredients, EstroSense contains milk thistle which is one of the most re-searched herbs when it comes to liver detoxification and liver cell regeneration. Curcumin, indole-3-car-binol, sulforaphane, calcium-d-glucarate, green tea extract, lycopene and rosemary extract are all very effective for supporting healthy hormone balance.
So starting now, read labels and stay informed, check out The Environmental Working Group website www.ewg.org as well as Campaign for Safe Cosmetics www.safecosmetics.org for more information about how you can protect yourself.

Esther Parker’s 20 ink portraits will be on dis-play at Langham Court Theatre gallery from April 23 to May 9.
Portraits are of people such as David Suzuki, Eddie Izzard, Lynda Barry and Lena Dunham.

1 to 3 p.m. Snacks, light refreshments and a cash bar will be available.

Victoria Royals Travis Brown uses his stick to control Kelowna Rockets Riley Stadel during first period action in game 3 of the teams’ second round playoff series.
Rockets push Royals to edgeThe Victoria Royals surren-
dered three special team goals in a 4-2 loss to the Kelowna Rockets in Game 3 of the West-ern Hockey League Western Conference Semi-Final.
The Rockets have now taken a 3-0 best-of-seven series lead.
The Rockets’ Leon Draisaitl scored a shorthanded goal,
while Nick Merkley and Madison Bowey notched powerplay tal-lies.
Royals’ Greg Chase and Alex Forsberg potted Victoria’s mark-ers. Gage Quinney scored the game winner for the visiting team.
Coleman Vollrath stopped 24 shots before being replaced by
Justin Paulic who made eight saves. Kelowna goaltender Jack-son Whistle made 28 stops in the victory.
The Royals played game 4 last night (after the News’ deadline) which either ended their 2014-15 playoff season 4-0 or sent the team to Kelowna for a fifth game tonight.

Excitement runs high for rugby roomatesDon DescoteauBlack Press
It’s exciting enough to be preparing to play in a world-class tournament, but two members of Canada’s international women’s sevens rugby program have been thrilled by the level of support they’ve seen in and around their adoptive hometown.
Scrum half Elissa Alarie and centre/wing Paige Farries, who are roommates in Col-wood, get stopped reg-ularly by well-wishers when they’re out wear-ing their national team gear.
“Anywhere from Langford, Colwood, View Royal and Victo-ria, it’s amazing,” Far-ries says. “If you’re wearing the Rugby Can-ada emblem, people will stop you and con-gratulate you for how your team did, or even how the men’s team is doing or the women’s 15s are doing.”
As the Canadian squad gets ready to host 11 of the world’s top teams for this weekend’s Canada Womens Sevens event at Langford’s Westhills Stadium, the players can feel the excitement building, both within their ranks and in the community, Alarie says.
“We get to train at
great facilities like PISE and at the (Rugby Cen-tre of Excellence in Langford), and so peo-ple see us a lot around town,” she says. “They’re often ask-ing, ‘when can we see you play?’ And we’re always saying ‘well, we kind of play inter-nationally, elsewhere.’ Now for the first time it’s nice to actually say we play coming up this weekend, so get your tickets. People are really excited to see us play, finally.”
The tournament kicks off tomorrow (April 18) with an 11 a.m. match between France and China. With these fast and furious matches over in 20 minutes, fans won’t have long to wait to see Canada’s first game, a 12:50 p.m. showdown with Russia.
Alarie, a native of Trois-Rivières, Que., was among 12 players selected by head coach John Tait to play in the Langford tournament.
Farries, who was in the lineup for the recent Hong Kong Sev-ens tournament – Can-ada defended its title for a second straight time, won’t be on the pitch this weekend but as she says “There’s always something to look forward to. We have a back-to-back tournament coming up in London and then
in Amsterdam. We’re leaving for it two weeks after Langford, so it’s a really quick turn-around.”
On the seemingly rare times when she and Farries are home, they split up the chores, more or less, with both doing some cooking and both cur-rently learning to speak spanish.

Local swimmers make2015 Universiade team
Two Victoria athletes, UVic’s Jon McKay and UBC’s Keegan Zanatta, will be among the 16 student-athletes who will represent Canada in swimming at the 2015 Summer Universi-ade in Gwangju, South Korea (July 3-14) Cana-dian Interuniversity Sport, in conjunction with Swimming Canada, announced Tuesday.
Highlighting the red and white roster is 2012 Olympian Barbara Jar-din of Montreal, FISU Games veterans Genev-iève Cantin of Saguenay, Que., and Caroline Lapi-erre-Lemire of Rouyn-Noranda, Que., as well as reigning CIS male swim-mer of the year Eli Wall of Ottawa.
Over the years, swimming has brought
more Universiade glory to Canada than any other sport. Since the biennial competition began in 1959, Cana-dian swimmers have won 104 FISU medals, 22 of them gold – both record tallies for the country.
Canada had its best Universiade perfor-mance in swimming at the 1993 Games.

Phase I of the track, a multi-purpose track and training zone, adja-cent to the building overlooking the field, is currently being utilized by athletes, students and PISE members.
A ground breaking for the second phase of the track is planned for this year, pending full funding of the proj-ect.
The project also includes spectator seating, making the site ideal for hosting sporting and commu-nity events.
Peninsula Co-op’s donation will benefit another component of the track - an incline training area that links the track to the track and training zone and main PISE facility, and will provide wheel-chair accessibility.

The region’s Solar Col-wood and Solar CRD sub-sidy iniative has passed but the trend for homeowners to consider installing solar hot water heating systems or solar photovoltaic panels is still growing, says Judith Cullington, former Colwood councillor who was behind the now-defunct Solar Col-wood hot water program.
One of the preconcep-tions with solar that poten-tial buyers get hung up on is the so called ‘payback period.’
“It really is an odd thing about renewable energy, that buyers (automatically) question what the payback period will be,” Cullington said.
The payback period is the return on investment, how much, and how long.
“No one asks what the payback period will be with a new car or a granite counter top, but with solar, everyone wants to know that.”
And the reality is it’s quite strong.
Cullington has solar pho-tovoltaic at her house and on a sunny day it not only
provides her house’s elec-trical needs, it supplies the excess energy to other houses in her neighbour-hood.
Because she’s tied into the grid, she gets that money back from her hydro bill.
“We’re very lucky in B.C., B.C. Hydro makes it very easy to install solar com-pared to other places in the world.
“Once people under-stand what a strong return on investment you can get I think we’ll see a greater number of people installing solar,” Cullington said.
“Anyone who is looking to invest in their future should know you’ll get a very competitive nine per cent return on investment from a solar hot water system. For most of us that’s bet-ter than we’re going to get
on a bank’s interest, a par-ticularly solid investment if you’re planning on staying in the house.”
Solar Colwood results showed an average savings from the hot water system on energy bills of saving 44 per cent on the hot water bill.
But misconcep-tions still exist.“One of the biggest is ‘I can’t afford it,’” Cullintgton
said, “which is interesting, because it means, you can’t afford to save money. Every house is different, and yes there is a money upfront but savings grow as hydro rates increase, and we’re seeing that they’re really increasing.”
There’s also mistruths about sun, of which Victo-ria has plenty enough of to enable a solar system.
The future of solar is here
Pro Eco Energy Evacuated Solar Water Tubes
An increase in the information about household hydro usage would do wonders to increase awareness among homeowners, Judith Cullington says. “People are shocked when they learn what really drives the bill up.”
Misconceptions abound about residential solar energy

BLACK PRESS GREATER VICTORIA-Friday, April 17, 2015 Driveway • B1
From Left to Right: Diane Roberts (BC Scrap-It Program - Chief operating officer), Linda Webster (Winner of 2015 Nissan LEAF), Graham Clegg (General Manager - Nissan), Dennis Rogoza (BC Scrap-It Program - CEO).
Surrey resident Linda Webster is now the proud owner of a Nissan LEAF, as the winner of our Plug-In to Win contest.“I’m so excited because I’ve taken an interest in electric cars for some time but never dreamed I would own one,” said Linda, as she clutched the keys outside of Jonker Nissan, in Langley.“I’m going to really enjoy seeing how much I can get out of each charge… I’ll let you know!”With a range of in excess of 120 kilometres on a full charge, Linda figures she will be able to visit friends and family in Vancouver.British Columbia’s SCRAP-IT Program kindly sup-plied us with the eco-friendly sedan for the contest, which attracted a record-breaking 34,558 entries, the biggest Black Press contest ever. The five-seater car was displayed at the SCRAP-IT booth at the recent Vancouver International Auto Show, where it attracted thousands of admiring looks.SCRAP-IT announced its new incentive program in Driveway just before the show. It’s offer-ing a $3,000 rebate for electric car purchasers if they scrap a year 2000 or older vehicle. This is in addition to the newly announced provincial government program.SCRAP-IT Program CEO Dennis Rogoza revealed: “Ve-hicles model 2000 or older emit up to 60 times more emissions than later models and electric vehicles have even much lower emissions.”Qualifying electric vehicles are listed on the SCRAP-IT.ca website.

Family wagon with sporty genesCompact crossovers are perfect for moving families around in comfort and confidence, especial-ly when equipped with all wheel drive (AWD).With so many new entries coming into the market, challenging the established frontrunners like the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4 and Ford Escape, each manufac-turer needs an angle. Mazda’s approach with the 2016 CX-5 is a sporty attitude and upscale amenities. Mazda has taken the original CX-5, which first arrived in 2013 and has given it more features, a new front design but kept the same “Zoom-Zoom” attitude.LooksThe Mazda CX-5 is not as big as the CR-V or Nissan Rouge but larger than the VW Tiguan or Hyundai Tucson. It is small enough to make city manoeuvering easy but large enough for an average family. The updates to the exterior for 2016 include a new, more bold front grille, reworked front bumper and on the top GT (seen here), LED headlights, fog lights and taillights. The GT also gets great looking 19-inch wheels, and the lower trim levels are fitted with 17-inch wheels.InsideWhat sets the CX-5 apart from much of the
competition is a class-above dash and interior. Most of the products in this class come fitted with hard, cheap-feeling dashboards and utilitarian feeling switches and dials. Mazda has invested heavily in the interior, producing a soft touch dash, smooth and sophisticated looking and feeling switchgear, all making the cabin more upscale. On the base model, buyers must invest in the $1,900 convenience package to get essential items like Bluetooth, radio controls on the steering wheel and the new HMI centre control unit that interacts with the 7-inch centre screen. This brings the price to $26,795, placing it right in the middle of the compact market. The middle
$29,249 GS trim will be the volume seller, thanks to a bigger engine and a new height adjustable passenger seat, two USB connectors in the centre console, and blind spot moni-toring system. The top $34,895 GT trim (seen here) adds automatic climate control, standard navigation, 19-inch wheels and leather interior. Unfortunately, none of the CX-5 models come with a power tailgate. DriveMazda has stuck with the 155hp 2.0L direct injection engine and a manual transmission in
the base model. This combo is only available with front wheel drive (FWD). If the base en-gine is paired with the all wheel drive (AWD) system, then the buyer needs to choose the 6-speed automatic. The middle GS and top GT trim come with the more powerful 184hp 2.5L 4-cylinder. The GS can be equipped with FWD or AWD and all GT models come standard with AWD. What sets this apart from the competition is the handling and dynamic feel Mazda bakes into its products. The CX-5 can be thrown into corners with true confidence but the suspension is never jarring. The GS and GT also come standard with a sport setting for the transmission that is too aggressive for daily use. The base setting works the best and when more power is needed, I tended to flick the transmission to manual mode for a more precise experience.
Verdict It might not be the least expensive vehicle in this hot compact crossover segment but due to a conventional 6-speed automatic and class above amenities, it’s certainly in the running as a segment leader.

BLACK PRESS GREATER VICTORIA-Friday, April 17, 2015 Driveway • B3
DrivewayBC.ca
By Alexandra Straub
Los Angeles/Palm Springs, CA – For 2015, Dodge introduces a new breed of Journey. One that has more visual appeal, lots of power and a few features to keep your drive exciting, even when it isn’t.Enter the Crossroad AWD edition. It’s clad in a Redline exterior pearl paint, and sparkles under the Californian sun or any sun for that matter.Thanks to distinctive front and rear fascias with Platinum Chrome accents, Platinum Chrome side sills, Platinum Chrome roof rails, dark-tinted head-lamps and tail lamps, and unique 19-inch Hyper Black aluminum wheels, it tends to garner looks from all passersby.This particular Journey is a much better looking vehicle than I had anticipated and I’m impressed with how it has evolved since its introduction in 2009. But it’s not just looks alone that make this crossover one of the best selling products in the Dodge lineup, and one that has earned numerous accolades.Inside, a visually stimulating cabin also welcomes the driver and passengers.First off, leather seats with sport mesh inserts come standard. Then you have Liquid Graphite appliques, a 213.4mm (8.4-inch) Uconnect touchscreen and a power driver’s seat and passenger fold flat seat with in-seat storage.The in-seat storage is a feature I found exceptionally handy, particularly when I wanted to tuck away some miscella-neous items I purchased along the road.
Or I wanted to keep my snacks out of the sun when driving hours on end in California!Along the undulating SoCal roads, it was quite handy to have the 3.6L, Pentastar V6 engine under its hood for that extra bit of power I used climbing hills. It comes with a healthy helping of 283 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque and is matched with a six-speed automatic transmission that shifts with ease and smoothness.Additionally, the Crossroad version has a
temperate nature and one that is pleas-ant to drive for long hauls. It absorbs road imperfections without jarring the passengers inside.The only snag comes when you want to accelerate quickly to pass someone. There’s a generous helping of torque steer so make sure you give yourself enough room in the lane to accommo-date for it. Yes, it’s an all-wheel drive, so it’s not, by nature, prone to this type of action, but this particular vehicle was.Despite its size, it doesn’t feel like a
chore to manouevre. Especially when navigat-ing through the In-n-Out Burger drive-thru for a pre road trip delicacy. Though there were only three people in the cabin of the Journey at any given time, there is room for up to seven people.Furthermore, the third and second row fold down easily to load or unload larger ticket items, such as a road bike I had rented while in the Palm Springs area. When it comes to cargo space, behind the second row seats, you have a gener-ous 1,000L, and behind the third row – when they are up – there’s 300L.Ingress and egress is also a strong feature of the Journey. Despite its SUV DNA, the seats aren’t so high off the ground that it requires passengers, both young and young at heart, to hoist themselves up and in.And I can’t forget to mention just how great it is to work with the Uconnect infotainment system. Entering in a des-tination into the navigation is probably the most intuitive and user-friendly in the industry. The 8.4-inch screen is large and therefore doesn’t require me to take my eyes off the road for longer than necessary.Music through the speakers – via
the SiriusXM stations or my playlists – kept me grooving even in rush hour traffic. With the count-less kilometres logged on this Dodge, it wasn’t too hard to find much joy in this new Journey.In fact, it was quite a treat.
The base MSRP of the 2015 Dodge Journey Crossroad AWD is $35,395. [email protected]

Pic of the WeekChevrolet Sparks sweet and tasty colours
As if the Chevrolet Spark in Jalapeno Green and Salsa Red weren’t enough to inspire a store run for taco chips, the minicar is tickling the taste buds for the 2016 model with two more foodie-inspired exterior colors – Toasted Marshmallow and Kalamata Olive. “The first generation Spark’s colors allowed us to explore some fun, creative names,” said Dora Nowicki, marketing manager for the 2016 Spark. “We had an opportunity to continue this trend with the new Spark. When it came time to name new colors for the 2016 model, we brought color samples to the table and challenged our launch team to let their creativity run wild.”

Often when driving down a logging road you encounter mud on one side of the road – no big deal you think.You slow down and travel through it, only to find out you are losing traction and the wheel starts to spin. Before you know it, you are stuck. Now it's a big deal.The standard differential, or what is referred to as an open diff, is generally standard on most new trucks. The open diff holds the ring gear and a set of gears called spider gears. These spider gears are responsible for allowing a vehicle to negotiate a turn and allow the outside wheel to travel farther and turn faster than the inside wheel.
This type of open design works great for most of the pickup trucks on the road today. However, when a truck with an open differential meets loose gravel, or a wet section of the road, it directs pow-er to the wheel with the least amount of resistance. The result is the wheel on the loose surface spins free, while the other wheel on the better traction surface provides little or no power. Limited Slip differentials are designed to "limit" the tendency of an open diff, and send power to a wheel that lacks traction, by redirecting the power to the other wheel. The Limited Slip differential will send power to both wheels equally when traveling straight, and when one wheel spins due to a lack of traction, the differential will automatically provide
torque to the other wheel with trac-tion. Limited Slip differentials limit the loss of torque to a slipping wheel through clutches, gears, and other methods, depending on the unit. But it will not provide 100 percent lock up of the differential in extreme situations such as when a wheel completely loses traction. Limited Slips are recommended for vehicles driven daily and are used in many applications where traction is sometimes needed as in emergency vehicles. They are also ideal for front axles of 4x4 vehicles that are not equipped with front hubs that can be disengaged. A locking differen-tial or "Locker" uses a mechanism that allows left and right wheels to "lock” to each other and turn at the same speed
regardless of which axle has traction or how little traction a slipping wheel has. This means tractionpower can be sent to a wheel that may be planted firmly on the ground while the other wheel of the axle is completely off the ground. In this situation, an open differential will spin the free wheel, sending absolutely no torque to the wheel in the ground. A Limited Slip in this situation will send some torque to the wheel on the ground
but possibly not enough to provide any forward momentum. The popularity of E-Lockers has increased dramatically ino the last few years as more people take to off-road driving for fun. The lockers are activated by a switch inside the vehicle and are used on most modern 4x4s. The price range for the lockers is generally between $1,860 and $3,350 depending on the truck.
