All eyes are on Kevin Mennie as he slowly moves his arm in a deliberate pendulum

motion.Standing on the spot, Mennie

then bends one leg 90 degrees to hip height then repeats with the other. When he is done, he turns to his students and asks them to do the same.

In unison, the students repeat the drill.

Mennie nods in agreement. “This is proper running form,” he tells them. “This will help you in your half-marathon. But if you don’t do it correctly, you’ll have trouble running the long distance.”

For Mennie, the last year and a half working at a B.C. offshore school in Shanghai, China has been a learning experience too.

The Victoria resident arrived on the shores of China to teach B.C.’s high school curriculum at a domestic Chinese school.

It was a year of firsts.Within months, Mennie was

training and competing in what is considered one of the most difficult endurance races in the world: the Great Wall of China Marathon. It would be a life-changing experience for Mennie, not just the race but in what would transpire afterwards.

As he trained for the marathon, students and teachers were fixated daily on his antics on the track at speed drills, tempo training and fartlek runs. After all, physical education is almost frowned upon in China, where academic achievement comes before all else.

Mennie finished the grueling race in just under five hours and calls it “one of the biggest challenges of my life.” (Back

home, he’s qualified for the Boston Marathon twice and has run a marathon best 3:08).

When Mennie returned to school the next day, he was quizzed by students about why he was having problems walking – and about the race. He used the opportunity to get the students enthused about running and invited them along on a run.

“They were really inspired by it,” Mennie recalls.

Within weeks, a few students were running with Mennie and co-worker Vanessa Fung, another B.C. resident teaching at the school.

And that’s when the idea started percolating.

Over the summer break, the two had a grand idea: introduce the students, who were most enthused about running, to a

“real race.”The first formal training session

on return to school attracted 10 students for what was first dubbed Track Tuesday. The next week, 140 students showed up.

“It was so inspiring to see the kids get better and better, and they were right into it,” says Mennie.

The decision was made to race in the 30,000-runner strong Shanghai International Marathon in December.

Soon the school’s marketing class created a logo of Shanghai Footprints for the team and bracelets saying, “You Inspire Me.”

“(It all started with) this idea over the summer to see if any of these kids would want to run with us, and maybe we could put them in a race, not even thinking what could happen,” Mennie says.

Living in China, you soon learn that Chinese traditions play an integral role in

everyday life. It is at the core of Chinese culture and revolves around values and how people interact with each other.

It’s this sense of tradition that put Fung and Mennie on a collision course with the school administration.

“The school (administrators) told us that students don’t run half-marathons and it’s never been done before and shouldn’t be done now,” Mennie recalls.

“Within a few weeks, (the school administration) didn’t want us using the track, and said it wouldn’t endorse the race.”

School administrators continued to up the ante. They said the students would die if they ran a half-marathon and called a parents’ meeting to discuss it.

Three Chinese high school students run the last leg of the Shanghai International Half-marathon. Seventy students took part in the race and all but one completed it under Mennie’s Shanghai Footprints program.

All Kevin Mennie wanted to do was teach a group of Chinese high schools students how to run a half-marathon, but the challenges that stood before him appeared daunting and unpredictable

Victoria Harbour Ferry hit the water for the 22nd Harbour Ferry Water Ballet season on Sunday.

The 10-minute water ballet showcases the agil-ity of iconic boats and the ballet captains’ prac-ticed ability to manoeuvre their vessels in sync to a select ballet song in the Inner Harbour.

Every Sunday morning from May through Sep-tember, five green Harbour Ferries line up at the Causeway Marina and perform for hundreds of onlookers.

The complex “dance steps” – which com-bine military marching and RCMP Musical Ride

manoeuvres, as well as a touch of creative chore-ography – requires the Ballet Captains to practice weekly.

During the performance, the Captains cannot even hear the music and rely solely on the Ballet Leader to shout out turn sequences.

With over 300 performances and tens of thou-sands of onlookers, the ballet remains the world’s only water ferry ballet.

New this year is the addition of a Saturday ballet in July and August.

Still time to send in your choice for Black Press Great Teachers campaignDon DescoteauNews staff

Over the past six weeks, we’ve spoken with numerous people about the role of school teach-ers and the posi-tive impact they have in our com-munities.

Through a series of sto-ries published in Black Press’ c o m m u n i t y n e w s p a p e r s , we’ve prompted readers to think about the excel-lent educators in their schools and nominate them for recognition through our Great Teachers campaign.

Co-presented by Staples’ School Tools and supported by Thrifty Foods, Great Teachers is a way of honouring individu-als who are making a difference with their work inside and out-side the classroom.

“We are in the final days of

the campaign and we’d like to encourage parents and others to nominate a special teacher,” said Black Press group publisher Penny Sakamoto.

“It’s not too late. It’s a great way to end the school year and concentrate on the posi-tive impact of teachers and how schools are the core of commu-nity life.”

Readers nominating teach-ers at vicnews.com/contests have used such words as “posi-tive relationship,” “significant

impact,” “patient and kind,” “leader” and “above and beyond” to describe nominees.

The submissions are inspiring and indicate the high regard in which teachers are held.

Ralf Mundel, senior director of marketing and communications for Thrifty Foods, says teachers are

“vital to the fabric of our com-munities” and help kids become rounded individuals.

“Think back on your child-hood, or ask your kids about their most impactful memories and generally something about a teacher ranks high on that list. That’s powerful,” he says.

For Thrifty’s, which frequently

supports community groups at the grassroots level, being part of initiatives such as Great Teachers is something “interwo-ven into our DNA since 1977,” Mundel adds.

Staples is familiar with the extra work teachers do to make their lessons special, says School Tools (staplesschooltools.ca) co-ordinator Harmen Berghuis.

“I think they deserve all the recognition we can give,” he says.

Nominations demonstrate high esteem for teachers

Celebration time■ Black Press, Staples and Thrifty Foods encourage you to nominate a grade school teacher you feel is making a difference in the community.From all nominations, one teacher each from the elementary, middle school and secondary levels will be honoured at a gala in June.To nominate, visit vicnews.com/contests/ by May 25 and click on Great Teachers.All nominators are entered to win a $50 Thrifty’s gift certificate.


Capital Regional District directors have voted to add another $5.2 million to the $783-million sec-ondary sewage treatment project.

The additional cash will pay for an oxidization process to further reduce the concentration of pharmaceuticals, personal care products and household cleaners in sewage waste. The project pricetag is now slated at about $788 million.

B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak has so far refused to intervene in the project after Esquimalt rejected zoning for a wastewater treatment plant at McLoughlin Point. At a CRD meeting May 14, Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins asked that the Seaterra project be put on hold for six months or until CRD gets a definitive answer from Polak, a vote that was delayed until next month.

GUEST COMMENT

Are we allergic toglobal warming?David SuzukiSpecial to the News

Spring is a time of rebirth: blossoms and greenery emerge as cold and snow give way to warmer temperatures and longer days. It can also kick off a season of sneezing, headaches and itchy, watery eyes. Like a growing number of people, I’m allergic to tree pollen. Many say their symptoms have worsened over the years. They’re probably right.

We’ve upset the Earth’s carbon cycle by burning fossil fuels and destroying forests and wetlands. Plants help rebalance it by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen.

A warming planet also means longer growing seasons and stimulated plant growth in many areas. And rising atmospheric CO2 actually increases pollen production. Add to that the extreme weather impacts of climate change that can exacerbate allergy symptoms and other respiratory problems (rain and higher temperatures create more moulds and fungi in some places; more dust contributes to allergies and asthma in drought-stricken areas), plus the all-around increases in ground-level ozone, smoke and pollution, and you’ve got a recipe for mass discomfort, illness, death and rising health care costs.

U.S. research shows the pollen season there has lengthened by about 16 days since 1995 and the ragweed season by anywhere from a day to 16 days, with greater increases moving north. The Public Health Agency of Canada says ragweed season here is close to a month longer than in 1995 because of warming temperatures.

We still don’t fully understand the multiple impacts of global warming on allergies, or what else may be contributing to the problem.

Doing all we can to prevent climate change from getting worse won’t do much for allergies this season or next, but in the long run, it will make life easier for all of us, and our children and grandchildren. After all, this isn’t about plants being bad for people. We can’t live without them. It’s more about the natural systems that keep us alive and healthy being put out of whack by our reckless behaviour.

When you visit Esquimalt Lagoon or Saxe Point Park you see this rusty, old ship moored right in front of your face.

Not very nice to look at a rusty old ship. No flag and no indication of who owns it.

It has just sat there for thelast two months. I wonder how much damage it does to the ocean?

Why doesn’t someone do something about this.?

Justin Trudeau finds fan among pro-choice

Your editorial cartoon Justin Trudeau Gives Himself a Headache (News, May 14) lampoons Justin Trudeau and the Liberals for taking a stand on women’s rights and pro-choice.

But what does pro-choice really mean? It means a women has the right to chose between terminating a pregnancy or going full term and having the child. This is the democratic right of every women and this right should not be abrogated by the state.

I fully agree with Justin Trudeau’s stand and, I believe, so

fdo most Canadians. David Smith

$40 typewriter could fix government’s problem

I was greatly dismayed to learn about the recent breakdowns in the new $182-million computer system designed to protect vulnerable children in B.C. and, as a concerned citizen, I certainly want to do my part to help with this problem.

Consequently, I would like to assure officials at the Ministry of Technology that, whenever they feel the need, they are most welcome to borrow my trusty old

Olympia manual typewriter, which I bought for about $100 more than 40 years years ago and is still functioning perfectly.

Mennie and Fung were prepared to give a presentation, but they were not permitted to speak. “I’m sitting in the audience thinking it can be done. Give them a chance,” says Mennie.

The school issued a gag order which said they couldn’t mention Shanghai Footprints or the marathon at all.

The students weren’t about to be stopped. “I just said to the kids let’s just call it a run for fun and when we show up on the track, don’t say anything about the marathon,” Mennie says.

Mennie and Fung learned in China to expect the unexpected.

At the school-hosted sports day, one of the runners showed up wearing a yellow shirt with the words Run for Fun written on it.

“This was a statement against the authority. The kid (a Grade 12 student) ran a race and won and turned and looked at the authorities. This is when I thought, ‘Oh, oh, this could go sideways. I could be sent home. I started worrying about my job a little bit,” Mennie says.

Another school meeting was soon called. It was mandatory that parents attend if they wished their child take part in the half-marathon. The administration attempted to dissuade any participation in

the race. Again Fung and Mennie were told they could not give a presentation.

As the meeting wrapped up, Mennie could no longer hold his tongue and gave his thoughts on the running group and the half-marathon. Slowly the administration started leaving the building one by one. By the end, it was Mennie and Fung answering parents questions.

“We reaffirmed with the parents what was going on and they started getting onboard and that’s when we realized this is a lot bigger now, because the parents were behind us.”

The subtle harassment, however, didn’t end: students were asked to steal runners’ lists from Mennie’s office; running signs were taken down; physical education teachers

would set up soccer shooting drills on the track while the runners practised; the teachers would abruptly hold fabricated exercise days on the track, working out in business suits no less, to interrupt the running.

“I thought the biggest challenge would be making these kids who aren’t runners be able to believe and do a half-marathon. My biggest worry was someone getting injured. I didn’t want to hurt them. I didn’t even think about the other part, and once it started, it was relentless,” Mennie recalls.

It’s a cool day in late november and of the 140

students who trained for the Shanghai International Half-marathon from the school, 70 will take part

in the race. (Ten were classified under age and couldn’t register.) For the under-age students, Mennie made up bibs and slipped the students into the race without notice, although they couldn’t qualify for medals.

Mennie and Fung began loading their runners, adorned in bright pink shirts, on buses – rented privately – at 5 a.m. off school property. The plan was to get the students to the start line early and ready to go. One teacher would be stationed at the finish line in case any student got into injury trouble or couldn’t finish the race.

Mennie ran with the lead group until the 12K mark. After that, he dashed back and forth on the race course running with students and encouraging them.

Only one of the 70 students was unable to complete the race due to injury. The first runner crossed the line at the 1:38 mark. The last runner, who stumbled with just 20 metres to go, finished with a 3:30 time.

“It was a moving experience, especially what we had to do to get here,” Mennie says.

A few weeks after the marathon, a gala was held to honour the students. The runners, family and friends attended. It was an exciting evening.

The 10 underage students received medals after Mennie told his friends about their plight. They put money together to buy each student a medal.

“People all over the world knew what was going on with these kids,” says Mennie. “My family and friends knew and a lot of other people too.”

While there was plenty of excitement centred around the event, Mennie was keeping a secret.

He wasn’t returning for another school year. “At that point, I knew I wasn’t coming back,” Mennie says. “I knew I rocked the boat.

“These were kids just dying for something. They wanted a chance to do something other than study. It’s been life-changing.”

Chinese school officials frown on half-marathon attempt

Victoria FootprintsThe passion for China continued when Kevin

Mennie returned to Canada in January.Although Canada and China have two very

distinct cultures, Mennie wondered why more Canadian teens weren’t running half-marathons. After all, plenty have run 10-kilometre races.

Enter Victoria Footprints.Taking the success of Shanghai Footprints,

Mennie approached his former school St. Andrew’s Regional High School, where he was athletic director, and asked if he could present his idea to a school assembly.

Eighty kids signed up right away, but that soon dwindled to 30, and by the time the TC10K half-marathon rolled around only four took part in the race.

“Although the numbers weren’t there, there was a lot interest,” Mennie says. “And it will grow.”

they have a plan if they’ll be going to any other celebrations.

Restoring a rare Mustang to magnifi cenceEverybody remembers their first car but very few people hold onto that set of wheels long into adult life.Tsawwassen resident Laura Ballance still has her 1967 Ford Mustang T5 but it has not turned a tire in years and has fallen into a state of disrepair.The public relations executive’s passion for automo-biles began at an early age, growing up in a house-hold with a father who was very interested in cars and particularly the Ford marque. By age four, she already knew what a Ford Mustang was and, as she approached 16, she wanted to own and drive one.

“In the mid-80s my father and I started looking for

a Mustang to restore together and in 1986 I found a ‘67 Mustang in the local paper,” says Laura, the pres-ident of the Laura Ballance Media Group.“The next day, we went to Surrey to look at the ‘67 notchback

that was for sale for $600. My dad negotiat-ed it for $450

and we began working nights and weekends restoring it. My dad was not a body man or mechanic and was self-trained but was handy, so we figured it out as we went along. “I spent many hours passing tools to my dad as he worked on the car. It is some of the best hours of my life, true quality time with my dad. I official-ly received the car as a graduation present.” Laura drove the car throughout grade 11 and 12 and during her early years as a journalist.“Eventually I purchased a new car and my Mustang went into storage as old cars often do. I got married, had children and a 1967 Mustang wasn’t conducive to car seats and strollers. “The 50th anniversary of the Mustang coincides with my oldest daughter receiving her driving license in 2014, so for the past five years I’ve been looking for someone or a compa-ny to restore my Mustang.”One of her clients, Jason Heard, of the Vancouver Classic Car Show and Sale, recommended 360 Fabrication in Abbotsford. The boys at 360 are now working their magic on this rare car and Laura will

get her wish to parade the beauty at upcoming Mustang 50th anniversary celebrations.The car will have its grand unveiling at the Vancouver Collector Car Show and Auction at the Pacific National Exhibition grounds in June.Over the next few weeks, we will reveal that this is not just any Mustang (one of only 453 built in 1967) and walk you through its restoration pro-cess. One that is a daunting experience for many seasoned car collectors let alone a proud mother with a passion for her old car. The world of automo-tive restoration is fraught with prob-lems; the one that comes to mind is the final invoice. An old rule of thumb for the realists has been to get an estimate and then double or triple it!

We will see how this exciting project plays out between now and mid-June.

BMW X5:Changes stable but significantThis all-new BMW X5 is the latest version of the mid-sized luxury SUV that helped the manufactur-er expand into markets beyond those where luxury, performance sedans reside. Some younger readers might not remember a time when BMW, and other German makers, didn’t have SUVs. But it wasn’t too long ago that the original X5 came out and transformed the Bavarian automaker into more of a full-line man-ufacturer. Ever since they started making SUVs, their sales have not retreated.

As is stands right now, the X5 combines two classes of SUV, the mid-size five-seat market and the seven-seat market. Truth be told, this should really be looked at as a five-seater, there will be a new, bigger seven passenger BMW coming in the next year or so.LooksWhen you look at this new model, it is instantly recognizable with just small changes such as more accent lines. I had a chance to park it next to the smaller X3 and, other than the front grille and headlights, they share a striking resemblance to

each other, this is just a bigger version of that wildly popular SUV. All X5 models come standard with 19-inch wheels but BMW packages their products to be offered with bigger wheels depend-ing on whether they want the sport package or not. Around the back, the same clamshell lift gate found on the last two versions remains intact. The top flips up and the bottom drops down. It makes it a reach to get inside the cargo area but many owners like this feature for sliding items in and out and being able to sit on the tailgate. InsideThe inside of the X5 is a study in small changes that pay big dividends. The centre screen is huge, the iDrive controller is bigger and navigating around this system is much easier than it has been in past versions. The materials used inside the cabin are first rate. The wide and relatively flat dash makes the cabin feel huge and the big comfortable seats make for an effortless place to spend time. As mentioned, the X5 can be equipped with a third row of seats but they are not that great for space, the GL-Class from Mercedes is a better option. When equipped with five seats the cargo space is vast. DriveThere are three different version of the X5, two that are very popular and the V8 version that is almost overkill. My test unit was the Xdrive 50 and it’s powered by a twin-turbo-charged 4.4L V8 engine. This produces a whopping 445hp and 479 lb.-ft. of

torque. And this thing flies, it is so fast and stable, it makes this big rig dance in every situation. In addition, there are various driving modes that set up the en-gine’s response, the steering feel and the suspension stiffness. Even in the most relaxed setting, this V8 en-gine is always up to a quick passing manouevre. Yes this is a blast to drive but 445hp is maybe too much. For gasoline buyers the 3.0L six-cylinder turbo model is more practical. With 300hp and 300 lb-ft of torque, the XDrive 35 can make a run to 100km/h in 6.6 seconds. Not bad for a 6-cylinder. The XDrive 35d turbo diesel should prove to be the most popular. The 3.0L diesel has 413 lb.-ft. or torque and sips fuel. The diesel X5 can make a run to 100km/h in 7.6 seconds but achieves just 8.7L/100km in mixed city and highway driving. All models come with an eight-speed automatic to help get the most out of each litre of fuel.VerdictX5 models can be equipped with several different pack-ages like sport packages, luxury packages and more. So starting at $63,000 and up, the base price can be a bit misleading. This is an expensive product but a superbly well designed and engineered one. To be honest, other than the price, there is a lot to like here, this is a great BMW. It is so well put together, it drives superbly and it comes with three equally good engines. If you are in the market for a big luxury SUV, the new X5 does a lot right.

Monte Carlo, Monaco: Everywhere you look, wealth abounds.The parking spaces in front of the Hotel de Paris and Casino Monte Carlo, Monaco, are filled with vehicles no less than $200K. I feel a lot out of place.Ferraris, Maseratis, Bentleys, Porsches, Bugattis (yes plural) and other exotic vehicles seem to be a dime a dozen.Even the taxis are premium makes and models. The occasional “affordable” vehicle (like a 3 Series BMW or an Audi A5) manifests itself, but they already know they won’t be getting the premiere parking spots. So how do you get noticed in an area where such opulent sheet metal resides? A place where spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a vehicle is the unwritten rule, and even that might not be enough for a second glance.The answer is simple: the 2015 Ducati Diavel.You can hear one coming from a mile away (sorry, 1.60934 kilometres if we are to be continentally correct). The devilish Ducati, even with the stock exhaust – which is new for the 2015 model year – could easily conjure sinister thoughts. The low-note grumble and throaty belligerence characterizes the twin pipes that are aggressive yet sublimely pleasing to the ears. Now imagine am-plifying that sound by more than 30.A flock of carbon white-trimmed Diavels set out to congregate in the main plaza of Monte Carlo where our

press briefing would take place. On the way, the adventure took us through a section of the F1 Grand Prix track; hairpins, winding roads and silky smooth tarmac paved the way. For a moment, I felt like a champion. The Bologna-based brand’s revised sport cruiser is one that commands attention. Even if you don’t want to look, its black hole-like nature won’t let your gaze escape. Besides, you’ve already been hooked by its exhaust note and the mellifluous sound from its 1,198 cc engine, so it’s too late to even attempt to look away.Within moments of parking these bikes, crowds amassed. Never mind the Porsche GT2 RS a few metres away. Never mind the Ferrari Califor-nia with pristine paint and glimmering rims. Ducatis steal all the attention.Styling-wise, they have matured since

its introduction in 2012. Though it is immediately recognizable, it has been tweaked. There’s now full LED illumination, a new headlamp cover and mounting and more. Giving it the strong road presence that it has is its commanding and bulbous body, matched with a 240 rear tire; a tire that was specifically made in conjunction with Pirelli for the Diavel.Though it might look like a handful, it’s not. And if a “handful” was mea-sured in weight, you’re only looking at, or handling, 205 kg (452 lbs.)Speaking of hands, its handling is quite superb. Taking on the twisty roads won’t leave you scraping pegs like other cruisers. With three modes (sport, touring and urban) to channel the 162 horsepower (100 hp if you’re in urban mode) from Ducati’s new Testastretta 11° DS engine, it won’t take off on you without your consent.With crowds taking photos of this beautiful beast, and asking to take a photo with it, I couldn’t see any other vehicles generating such fervor. It gen-erates even more zeal when on the open road. But for now, the temporary celebrity status that these bikes bring are a welcome change from the norm.And knowing that an item that costs at least 10 times less than the vehicular ornamentation perfectly placed in Monte Carlo – the Diavel carbon white model has an MSRP of $21,995) could be considered cheap thrills, right?I guess it’s all relative.

As a busy mom and running my own business as a counsellor at “Insight to Action Counselling Services”, I need to have a reliable vehicle and also access to a loaner vehicle when work is being done to my car.My family has purchased two vehicles from Galaxy Motors. One for myself and one for my husband after he was in an accident that wrote off his previous car.I have found the staff to be professional and friendly and also ef� cient. They have a great service center that provides thorough explanations of the work being done and future work that may be necessary. The staff is not pushy on the sales side OR in the service department.I also appreciated that there was an insurance person there when we purchased so that we didn’t have to run around town.”

Julie M. Sweeney Professional Counsellor Insight Into Action Counselling Services


DrivewayBC.ca

The words performance and Volvo rarely appear in the same sentence but the new 2015 V60 Sportswagon R-Design should change the perception that the Swedish manufacturer is only capable of producing reli-able and safety conscious products to the exclusion of excitement. This performance oriented T6 AWD version pumps out 325 horsepower, topping the base T6 by 25 horses and a massive 75 more than the four-cylinder and fuel efficient base T5.A week aboard this wagon showed it to be a very sporty machine on the high-way and at its utilitarian best in the city.Combine some paddle shift action with the auto trans-mission in Sport mode and you can push the car from zero to 100 klicks in about six seconds. Taking the V60 at speed around the twisties along the Sea to Sky Highway demonstrated its excellent road holding

and handling capabilities, courtesy of corner traction control. Ergonomic seats ensure the driver is also firmly gripped in those corners. Gee, I forgot I was in a Volvo.But before we run away with the idea that Volvo has abandoned what it is best known for; it should be mentioned that there is an option to add the world’s first Cyclist Detection and auto brake technology to the line! That most certainly makes it a Vancouver car, given that city’s love for all-things-cycling.This coupe-like wagon looks good too. A wide grille greets you and the classic Volvo-V shaped sculpted hood is still there but cleaner contemporary styled lines that flow back towards the traditional taillights support it.Inside, the designers drew cues from contemporary Scandinavian furniture, featuring wood and leather. The rear seats fold down in three 40/20/40 segments, adding still more space to

the already generous 430 litres to the rear of the seats. Parents of young chil-dren will like the two-stage pop up integrated booster cushions.Volvo has 60 years of expe-rience producing wagons and that shows in this line. The inclusion of the fun factor in the R-Design ver-sion is a smart move for a company trying to win new friends among affluent car buyers. Make no mistake, these are prestige vehicles with a fitting price tag.The base four-cylinder mod-els start at around $42,000 and the R-Design driven by your truly topped $51,000.I’ve also driven – if briefly – other Volvos equipped with the new Drive-E four-cyl-inder engines, mated to 8-speed auto transmissions, and they are remarkable. They offer a performance more akin to a typical 6. So, give the base models a shot if you are not looking for a pulsating ride in a Volvo. Did I just say that?

Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made asubstantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS <It issuch a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleepapnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoringor stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or rightwith no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. Isuggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed withthe results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON.

The BMW GINA Light Visionary Model was first conceived in 2008 but still looks very futuristic.It is one of 17 concept cars from across Eu-rope and the US to be displayed at “Dream Cars: Innovative Design, Visionary Ideas” at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. The GINA Light Visionary Model features a virtually seamless outer skin, consisting of a flexible fabric material stretched over

a movable substructure. Furthermore, functions are only enabled when they are actually needed. The most striking example of this is the headlight design. In normal position, when the headlights are not active, they are hidden under the special fabric cover. As soon as the driver turns on the lights, the contour of the front end changes.

The ‘Holy Grail’ of West Coast sailingArnold LimNews staff

Vern Burkhardt just can’t stay off the water, but he isn’t the only one.

Approximately 200 boats set sail May 24 to 26 for the 71st annual Swiftsure International Yacht Race where Burkhardt says the scenery takes centre stage.

“It’s the largest race in the Pacific Northwest and racers get together to exchange tales and catch up with each other once a year,” Burkhardt said. “Few vistas are like the downtown Inner Harbour of Victoria that are so beautiful and create a festival atmosphere for racers to come and enjoy.”

The chair of the race for four years has been an avid participant as well, having raced in all but four events since 1977, and 2014 is no different. The veteran sailor said there is just something about the annual event that keeps him coming back for more and fellow racer Stuart Dahlgren agrees.

“It is the one, it is the one that has the prestige,” he said. “It’s the holy grail of sailing around here. There are other races that are more challenging and harder to win but Swiftsure has the caché.”

Boats from as far as Oregon, Seattle and Vancouver join Island boats including the Westerly, a 70-foot long Santa Cruz boat Dahlgren and a crew of 16 will race in the longest and most challenging course in the event, the Swiftsure Lightship Classic.

The 240 kilometre race from Clover Point, to Swiftsure Bank to the finish at Ogden Point could see the entire crew stay up for 15 to 16 hours straight, or see the them take shifts sleeping if they expect a longer

than a 24 hour trip. It will be challenging, he said, but worth it in the end.

“I think this is one of the coolest team sports out there. The truest team sport. Not all jobs on the boats are glamorous, but every job needs to get done and someone needs to do it.”

His strategy comes down to the sailing conditions, and it is that challenge, along with the tight competition from the calibre of boats and seamanship he doesn’t see at many races, that Dahlgren is looking

forward to testing himself against. He hopes people will come out to watch

the event, including the myriad of festival activities for people of all ages surrounding the races in and around the Inner Harbour – and see the sport for what it is. Not the exclusive club of wealthy businessmen showing off expensive boats, but an inclusive group of people, some of whom don’t own a boat, that just love to be out at sea.

If nothing else, spectators should

come to witness the race start which is a spectacle to behold, he said.

“The start … if there is any breeze, is a very impressive thing. It’s a lot of mass and a lot of dollars moving at a high speed in close quarters. There is a lot of chance of thrills and spills that people love,” he said. “(That) and the shockingly beautiful backdrop of the Olympic Mountains, it is a gorgeous place we live in and a great way to see it.”

Natalie NorthNews staff

Tucked away on the top of Saan-ich Mountain sits an unimaginably cool home.

A break in the firs off Old West Saanich Road opens to its curious three-storey spherical structure. That this place was envisioned and expertly crafted by one man in the ‘70s is cool, but that it still revolves at the flick of a switch – unimagin-ably so.

The owners reject the notion of selling the piece of local history. If the family were to put it on the market, as with any unique home, however, they would be facing cer-tain challenges.

“Unique means just that, and you need a unique buyer,” says Greater Victoria Real Estate Board president-elect Guy Crozier. “Value is directly related to supply and demand. If you have a lower demand, it could mean a lower value or a long search for the unique buyer for a unique home.”

The visionary behind the house bears a family name well-known in the area: Basil “Barney” Oldfield. Though Basil has been gone since 1978, the lore he created with his revolutionary designs and some-what off-beat ways remains. His nephew, Rob Oldfield now runs the family business, Prospect Lake Garage Inc., founded by Basil and his brother Brian Oldfield in 1934.

At the garage, just a few kilome-

tres down the road from the round-house, framed photos of Brian and Basil grace the top shelf behind the counter. Rob greets customers, recalls his uncle’s ways and offers what he can about the home – an in-progress project which only Basil understood.

“He was sort of his own fellow,” Rob says. “He never got married; never had children, just puttered on his own up there and cut his own hair.”

The building began in the mid-’60s, and was to include an eleva-tor. Basil fell ill with cancer before that could happen, but the home remains a mechanical marvel. Through a carport door beneath the home, its circular cellar reveals the heart of the house’s rotating mechanism. Doors marked with a high voltage warning conceal water and sewage pipes and pre-sumably the three-quarter horse-power electric motor from a car transmission and two gear boxes. Shafts from the gear boxes propel

rubber wheels on a metal track overhead. The robust thing of beauty is able to run at two speeds: low gear yields a once-daily revolution; high gear will take you 360 degrees in just three minutes.

Unlike other revolving struc-tures, which tend to have a station-ary centre, the entire welded steel frame structure rotates. Electricity is transferred through brushes in constant contact with the wheel.

“How do you figure that sort of thing out in the 1950s and ‘60s?” Rob says. “No nails was his claim to fame, so it’s kind of a noisy house to live in because when you step on the outside porch, you step on the metal and the whole thing kind of moves a bit because it’s sitting on wheels.”

The noise isn’t a factor for its inhabitants. One couple, Cathy Cook and Francis Sullivan, have called Basil’s home their own since

moving to Victoria in 1989.

“It’s pretty wild,” Sul-livan says. “When you think about the number of welds that went into this place, the amount of metal.”

Sullivan is impressed by the craftsmanship, but clearly the novelty of living in a two-bedroom, one-bath home that rotates has faded. It’s

the seclusion of the area that has kept the two long-term, though flicking the switch labelled “HOUSE” is a more of party trick he hasn’t forgotten.

“After 25 years, it’s not a big deal anymore,” Sullivan says. “But it’s amazing that it still works after all these years.”

And Rob would like to see it stay within the family for many years to come.

If Basil’s great-niece, 22-year-old Christi Oldfield is any indication, there will be demand for creative living well into the future.

“It’s important to me as an Old-field to keep (the house) in the family,” Christi says. “I think it’s the coolest thing.”

Natalie NorthNews staff

Tucked away on the top of Saan-ich Mountain sits an unimaginably cool home.

A break in the firs off Old West Saanich Road opens to its curious three-storey spherical structure. That this place was envisioned and expertly crafted by one man in the ‘70s is cool, but that it still revolves at the flick of a switch – unimagin-ably so.

The owners reject the notion of selling the piece of local history. If the family were to put it on the market, as with any unique home, however, they would be facing cer-tain challenges.

“Unique means just that, and you need a unique buyer,” says Greater Victoria Real Estate Board president-elect Guy Crozier. “Value is directly related to supply and demand. If you have a lower demand, it could mean a lower value or a long search for the unique buyer for a unique home.”

The visionary behind the house bears a family name well-known in the area: Basil “Barney” Oldfield. Though Basil has been gone since 1978, the lore he created with his revolutionary designs and some-what off-beat ways remains. His nephew, Rob Oldfield now runs the family business, Prospect Lake Garage Inc., founded by Basil and his brother Brian Oldfield in 1934.

At the garage, just a few kilome-

tres down the road from the round-house, framed photos of Brian and Basil grace the top shelf behind the counter. Rob greets customers, recalls his uncle’s ways and offers what he can about the home – an in-progress project which only Basil understood.

“He was sort of his own fellow,” Rob says. “He never got married; never had children, just puttered on his own up there and cut his own hair.”

The building began in the mid-’60s, and was to include an eleva-tor. Basil fell ill with cancer before that could happen, but the home remains a mechanical marvel. Through a carport door beneath the home, its circular cellar reveals the heart of the house’s rotating mechanism. Doors marked with a high voltage warning conceal water and sewage pipes and pre-sumably the three-quarter horse-power electric motor from a car transmission and two gear boxes. Shafts from the gear boxes propel

rubber wheels on a metal track overhead. The robust thing of beauty is able to run at two speeds: low gear yields a once-daily revolution; high gear will take you 360 degrees in just three minutes.

Unlike other revolving struc-tures, which tend to have a station-ary centre, the entire welded steel frame structure rotates. Electricity is transferred through brushes in constant contact with the wheel.

“How do you figure that sort of thing out in the 1950s and ‘60s?” Rob says. “No nails was his claim to fame, so it’s kind of a noisy house to live in because when you step on the outside porch, you step on the metal and the whole thing kind of moves a bit because it’s sitting on wheels.”

The noise isn’t a factor for its inhabitants. One couple, Cathy Cook and Francis Sullivan, have called Basil’s home their own since

moving to Victoria in 1989.

“It’s pretty wild,” Sul-livan says. “When you think about the number of welds that went into this place, the amount of metal.”

Sullivan is impressed by the craftsmanship, but clearly the novelty of living in a two-bedroom, one-bath home that rotates has faded. It’s

the seclusion of the area that has kept the two long-term, though flicking the switch labelled “HOUSE” is a more of party trick he hasn’t forgotten.

“After 25 years, it’s not a big deal anymore,” Sullivan says. “But it’s amazing that it still works after all these years.”

And Rob would like to see it stay within the family for many years to come.

If Basil’s great-niece, 22-year-old Christi Oldfield is any indication, there will be demand for creative living well into the future.

“It’s important to me as an Old-field to keep (the house) in the family,” Christi says. “I think it’s the coolest thing.”

Restoring a rare Mustang to magnifi cenceEverybody remembers their first car but very few people hold onto that set of wheels long into adult life.Tsawwassen resident Laura Ballance still has her 1967 Ford Mustang T5 but it has not turned a tire in years and has fallen into a state of disrepair.The public relations executive’s passion for automo-biles began at an early age, growing up in a house-hold with a father who was very interested in cars and particularly the Ford marque. By age four, she already knew what a Ford Mustang was and, as she approached 16, she wanted to own and drive one.

“In the mid-80s my father and I started looking for

a Mustang to restore together and in 1986 I found a ‘67 Mustang in the local paper,” says Laura, the pres-ident of the Laura Ballance Media Group.“The next day, we went to Surrey to look at the ‘67 notchback

that was for sale for $600. My dad negotiat-ed it for $450

and we began working nights and weekends restoring it. My dad was not a body man or mechanic and was self-trained but was handy, so we figured it out as we went along. “I spent many hours passing tools to my dad as he worked on the car. It is some of the best hours of my life, true quality time with my dad. I official-ly received the car as a graduation present.” Laura drove the car throughout grade 11 and 12 and during her early years as a journalist.“Eventually I purchased a new car and my Mustang went into storage as old cars often do. I got married, had children and a 1967 Mustang wasn’t conducive to car seats and strollers. “The 50th anniversary of the Mustang coincides with my oldest daughter receiving her driving license in 2014, so for the past five years I’ve been looking for someone or a compa-ny to restore my Mustang.”One of her clients, Jason Heard, of the Vancouver Classic Car Show and Sale, recommended 360 Fabrication in Abbotsford. The boys at 360 are now working their magic on this rare car and Laura will

get her wish to parade the beauty at upcoming Mustang 50th anniversary celebrations.The car will have its grand unveiling at the Vancouver Collector Car Show and Auction at the Pacific National Exhibition grounds in June.Over the next few weeks, we will reveal that this is not just any Mustang (one of only 453 built in 1967) and walk you through its restoration pro-cess. One that is a daunting experience for many seasoned car collectors let alone a proud mother with a passion for her old car. The world of automo-tive restoration is fraught with prob-lems; the one that comes to mind is the final invoice. An old rule of thumb for the realists has been to get an estimate and then double or triple it!

We will see how this exciting project plays out between now and mid-June.

BMW X5:Changes stable but significantThis all-new BMW X5 is the latest version of the mid-sized luxury SUV that helped the manufactur-er expand into markets beyond those where luxury, performance sedans reside. Some younger readers might not remember a time when BMW, and other German makers, didn’t have SUVs. But it wasn’t too long ago that the original X5 came out and transformed the Bavarian automaker into more of a full-line man-ufacturer. Ever since they started making SUVs, their sales have not retreated.

As is stands right now, the X5 combines two classes of SUV, the mid-size five-seat market and the seven-seat market. Truth be told, this should really be looked at as a five-seater, there will be a new, bigger seven passenger BMW coming in the next year or so.LooksWhen you look at this new model, it is instantly recognizable with just small changes such as more accent lines. I had a chance to park it next to the smaller X3 and, other than the front grille and headlights, they share a striking resemblance to

each other, this is just a bigger version of that wildly popular SUV. All X5 models come standard with 19-inch wheels but BMW packages their products to be offered with bigger wheels depend-ing on whether they want the sport package or not. Around the back, the same clamshell lift gate found on the last two versions remains intact. The top flips up and the bottom drops down. It makes it a reach to get inside the cargo area but many owners like this feature for sliding items in and out and being able to sit on the tailgate. InsideThe inside of the X5 is a study in small changes that pay big dividends. The centre screen is huge, the iDrive controller is bigger and navigating around this system is much easier than it has been in past versions. The materials used inside the cabin are first rate. The wide and relatively flat dash makes the cabin feel huge and the big comfortable seats make for an effortless place to spend time. As mentioned, the X5 can be equipped with a third row of seats but they are not that great for space, the GL-Class from Mercedes is a better option. When equipped with five seats the cargo space is vast. DriveThere are three different version of the X5, two that are very popular and the V8 version that is almost overkill. My test unit was the Xdrive 50 and it’s powered by a twin-turbo-charged 4.4L V8 engine. This produces a whopping 445hp and 479 lb.-ft. of

torque. And this thing flies, it is so fast and stable, it makes this big rig dance in every situation. In addition, there are various driving modes that set up the en-gine’s response, the steering feel and the suspension stiffness. Even in the most relaxed setting, this V8 en-gine is always up to a quick passing manouevre. Yes this is a blast to drive but 445hp is maybe too much. For gasoline buyers the 3.0L six-cylinder turbo model is more practical. With 300hp and 300 lb-ft of torque, the XDrive 35 can make a run to 100km/h in 6.6 seconds. Not bad for a 6-cylinder. The XDrive 35d turbo diesel should prove to be the most popular. The 3.0L diesel has 413 lb.-ft. or torque and sips fuel. The diesel X5 can make a run to 100km/h in 7.6 seconds but achieves just 8.7L/100km in mixed city and highway driving. All models come with an eight-speed automatic to help get the most out of each litre of fuel.VerdictX5 models can be equipped with several different pack-ages like sport packages, luxury packages and more. So starting at $63,000 and up, the base price can be a bit misleading. This is an expensive product but a superbly well designed and engineered one. To be honest, other than the price, there is a lot to like here, this is a great BMW. It is so well put together, it drives superbly and it comes with three equally good engines. If you are in the market for a big luxury SUV, the new X5 does a lot right.

DrivewayBC.ca

Monte Carlo, Monaco: Everywhere you look, wealth abounds.The parking spaces in front of the Hotel de Paris and Casino Monte Carlo, Monaco, are filled with vehicles no less than $200K. I feel a lot out of place.Ferraris, Maseratis, Bentleys, Porsches, Bugattis (yes plural) and other exotic vehicles seem to be a dime a dozen.Even the taxis are premium makes and models. The occasional “affordable” vehicle (like a 3 Series BMW or an Audi A5) manifests itself, but they already know they won’t be getting the premiere parking spots. So how do you get noticed in an area where such opulent sheet metal resides? A place where spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a vehicle is the unwritten rule, and even that might not be enough for a second glance.The answer is simple: the 2015 Ducati Diavel.You can hear one coming from a mile away (sorry, 1.60934 kilometres if we are to be continentally correct). The devilish Ducati, even with the stock exhaust – which is new for the 2015 model year – could easily conjure sinister thoughts. The low-note grumble and throaty belligerence characterizes the twin pipes that are aggressive yet sublimely pleasing to the ears. Now imagine am-plifying that sound by more than 30.A flock of carbon white-trimmed Diavels set out to congregate in the main plaza of Monte Carlo where our

press briefing would take place. On the way, the adventure took us through a section of the F1 Grand Prix track; hairpins, winding roads and silky smooth tarmac paved the way. For a moment, I felt like a champion. The Bologna-based brand’s revised sport cruiser is one that commands attention. Even if you don’t want to look, its black hole-like nature won’t let your gaze escape. Besides, you’ve already been hooked by its exhaust note and the mellifluous sound from its 1,198 cc engine, so it’s too late to even attempt to look away.Within moments of parking these bikes, crowds amassed. Never mind the Porsche GT2 RS a few metres away. Never mind the Ferrari Califor-nia with pristine paint and glimmering rims. Ducatis steal all the attention.Styling-wise, they have matured since

its introduction in 2012. Though it is immediately recognizable, it has been tweaked. There’s now full LED illumination, a new headlamp cover and mounting and more. Giving it the strong road presence that it has is its commanding and bulbous body, matched with a 240 rear tire; a tire that was specifically made in conjunction with Pirelli for the Diavel.Though it might look like a handful, it’s not. And if a “handful” was mea-sured in weight, you’re only looking at, or handling, 205 kg (452 lbs.)Speaking of hands, its handling is quite superb. Taking on the twisty roads won’t leave you scraping pegs like other cruisers. With three modes (sport, touring and urban) to channel the 162 horsepower (100 hp if you’re in urban mode) from Ducati’s new Testastretta 11° DS engine, it won’t take off on you without your consent.With crowds taking photos of this beautiful beast, and asking to take a photo with it, I couldn’t see any other vehicles generating such fervor. It gen-erates even more zeal when on the open road. But for now, the temporary celebrity status that these bikes bring are a welcome change from the norm.And knowing that an item that costs at least 10 times less than the vehicular ornamentation perfectly placed in Monte Carlo – the Diavel carbon white model has an MSRP of $21,995) could be considered cheap thrills, right?I guess it’s all relative.

As a busy mom and running my own business as a counsellor at “Insight to Action Counselling Services”, I need to have a reliable vehicle and also access to a loaner vehicle when work is being done to my car.My family has purchased two vehicles from Galaxy Motors. One for myself and one for my husband after he was in an accident that wrote off his previous car.I have found the staff to be professional and friendly and also ef� cient. They have a great service center that provides thorough explanations of the work being done and future work that may be necessary. The staff is not pushy on the sales side OR in the service department.I also appreciated that there was an insurance person there when we purchased so that we didn’t have to run around town.”

The words performance and Volvo rarely appear in the same sentence but the new 2015 V60 Sportswagon R-Design should change the perception that the Swedish manufacturer is only capable of producing reli-able and safety conscious products to the exclusion of excitement. This performance oriented T6 AWD version pumps out 325 horsepower, topping the base T6 by 25 horses and a massive 75 more than the four-cylinder and fuel efficient base T5.A week aboard this wagon showed it to be a very sporty machine on the high-way and at its utilitarian best in the city.Combine some paddle shift action with the auto trans-mission in Sport mode and you can push the car from zero to 100 klicks in about six seconds. Taking the V60 at speed around the twisties along the Sea to Sky Highway demonstrated its excellent road holding

and handling capabilities, courtesy of corner traction control. Ergonomic seats ensure the driver is also firmly gripped in those corners. Gee, I forgot I was in a Volvo.But before we run away with the idea that Volvo has abandoned what it is best known for; it should be mentioned that there is an option to add the world’s first Cyclist Detection and auto brake technology to the line! That most certainly makes it a Vancouver car, given that city’s love for all-things-cycling.This coupe-like wagon looks good too. A wide grille greets you and the classic Volvo-V shaped sculpted hood is still there but cleaner contemporary styled lines that flow back towards the traditional taillights support it.Inside, the designers drew cues from contemporary Scandinavian furniture, featuring wood and leather. The rear seats fold down in three 40/20/40 segments, adding still more space to

the already generous 430 litres to the rear of the seats. Parents of young chil-dren will like the two-stage pop up integrated booster cushions.Volvo has 60 years of expe-rience producing wagons and that shows in this line. The inclusion of the fun factor in the R-Design ver-sion is a smart move for a company trying to win new friends among affluent car buyers. Make no mistake, these are prestige vehicles with a fitting price tag.The base four-cylinder mod-els start at around $42,000 and the R-Design driven by your truly topped $51,000.I’ve also driven – if briefly – other Volvos equipped with the new Drive-E four-cyl-inder engines, mated to 8-speed auto transmissions, and they are remarkable. They offer a performance more akin to a typical 6. So, give the base models a shot if you are not looking for a pulsating ride in a Volvo. Did I just say that?

The BMW GINA Light Visionary Model was first conceived in 2008 but still looks very futuristic.It is one of 17 concept cars from across Eu-rope and the US to be displayed at “Dream Cars: Innovative Design, Visionary Ideas” at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. The GINA Light Visionary Model features a virtually seamless outer skin, consisting of a flexible fabric material stretched over

a movable substructure. Furthermore, functions are only enabled when they are actually needed. The most striking example of this is the headlight design. In normal position, when the headlights are not active, they are hidden under the special fabric cover. As soon as the driver turns on the lights, the contour of the front end changes.
