Daniel PalmerNews staff

Is Big Brother really watching you?Three Victoria privacy advocates have spent the past

two years trying to answer that question, digging up scraps of information on a controversial police technology called the automated licence plate recognition system.

“We have been stymied at every level,” said Chris Par-sons, a University of Victoria PhD can-didate specializing in privacy issues.

The device uses police cruiser-mounted cameras to automatically capture up to 3,000 licence plates per hour. It then notifies officers of a “hit” on uninsured and prohibited owners, as well as stolen vehicles.

The technology is used throughout British Columbia and is administered by the RCMP. In Greater Victoria, VicPD, Saanich police and the Inte-

grated Road Safety Unit use it regularly. What makes the program so concerning to critics is that

data collected from “non-hit” vehicles is kept on encrypted RCMP servers for two years. Although it’s not used, the information could be referenced for investigative purposes to retrace vehicle movements.

The RCMP insists such actions are not taking place, but the Mountie in charge of the program, Supt. Denis Boucher, said his office is considering expanding the program.

“It’s called function creep,” Parsons said. “That means every citizen that drives, (police) want to be able to track who they are and where they’re at.”

Input from more than 200 people will help shape the future design of the $92.8-million Johnson Street Bridge and its entrances.

Their suggestions include calls for greater emphasis on landscaping, art installations and traffic-calming mea-sures. During a special meeting of council’s governance and priorities committee last week, Coun. Pam Mad-

off said the $1.3 million earmarked for public-realm considerations may not be sufficient to fund the desired elements.

Council also heard an update on the risk assessment for the bridge replacement project.

Dwayne Kalynchuk, director of engineering and public works, dis-cussed insurance risks and legal con-cerns with council. He confirmed that insurance coverage has also been finalized.

Formal proposals from three con-struction bidders are expected to be received by Aug. 17, which will give council a clearer sense of ceil-ing costs.

The contract process will then see closed-door meetings held with city staff and bidders to optimize design features.

The general building contract will then be awarded, allowing construc-tion to begin before the end of 2012.

Crumbs in the keyboard or question-able web browsing history aren’t the only ways to tell who’s been using your computer.

A newly patented biometric technology makes it possible to identify the person at the monitor based on keystroke habits and mouse movements alone.

The technology, developed over the last 12 years by Issa Traore, University of Victoria professor in the department of electrical and computer engineering and former PhD student Ahmed Ahmed, has the potential to reach well beyond the realm of surveilling a home office.

The security of Internet banking, military communications and online testing stand to be revolutionized through the technology.

It works by capturing and profiling user rhythms on the keyboard and mouse. This profile is then used to lock out any other users from that account or computer.

When applied to password logins, the security protocol can identify users within five or six seconds based on how they type in their password.

The protocol can also be set to continuously monitor a computer between login and logout – an application that requires about three to seven minutes of computer use,

depending on how many keystrokes or mouse movements are made. In the event an intended user is called away from a work station and another user attempts to use the computer, the technology immediately recognizes an unintended user and locks them out.

Biometric technology, which compares physical or behavioural traits to a database, includes fingerprint, facial or retinal scans.

“Instead of a more traditional biometric system, like retinal or fingerprint recognition, that requires expensive hardware and is limited by users only being able to access the network from a specific computer, our system can be used by anyone from any location,” Traore said.

The system could solve the problem for universities of verifying student identification for high-level exams. “This is also a very accurate way of ensuring a student (taking an online exam) hasn’t given their password to someone else to take the exam, because right now we don’t have any other way to do that,” he said.

In addition to development via 200 computer users at UVic, Traore tested the technology with software installed on his own home computer, where his 15-year-old son was locked out after he attempted to login under another family member’s unrestricted user account.

The system has logged a 98-per-cent success rate at UVic on a standard keyboard and mouse. Traore said they are working to adapt the technology to touch screens and tablet computers.

“This technology has the potential to solve a big problem, and that problem is identity theft … and hacking,” said Chris Flores, industry liaison officer for UVic Industry Partnerships, an arm’s length branch of the university devoted to helping protect intellectual properties or new innovations developed on campus.

Flores assisted Traore and Ahmed in forming Plurilock Security Solutions Inc. after Traore approached UVic Industry Partnerships in 2004.

“(Plurilock) is pioneering the concept of continuous authentication technology,” Flores noted.

The technology was U.S. patent approved this spring, while a Canada patent

remains pending.Already it has sparked global interest from

a range of investors, including Brazilian post-secondary institutions interested in online testing, and the Government of Canada, where it is being considered for use in the fields of law enforcement and health care. A Japanese telecommunications company was one of Plurilock’s first clients.

Traore hopes to apply the innovation to tightening Internet banking security.

COMMUNITYNEWSIN BRIEF

Busy weekendin store for city

For individuals and fami-lies not planning on kick-ing back and relaxing, or heading out of town this B.C. Day holiday weekend, there’s plenty of activities planned for in and around downtown.

Check out the Victoria International Six-a-Side Cricket tournament at the Beacon Hill Park oval from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Aug. 4 to 11.

The 23rd Symphony Splash, scheduled from 1 to 10 p.m. Sunday in the Inner Harbour, features a variety of activities and entertain-ment, culminating with the Victoria Symphony perfor-mance at 8 p.m.

And Monday’s (Aug. 6) City United event sees a celebration of the Victoria’s 150th and United Way’s 75th anniversaries, hap-pening from noon until 9 p.m. at St. Ann’s Academy, 835 Humboldt St., and the Cameron Bandshell in Bea-con Hill Park.

For more information on long weekend events in the city, visit victoria.ca and click on the Victoria 150 logo.

Ceremony of Flagsadds weekend colour

A 45-year-old military tradition takes place in downtown Victoria tomor-row (Aug. 4). Starting at 7 p.m., almost 300 members of HMCS Quadra sea cadet corps will march from city hall along Douglas Street to Humboldt Street, then over to the legislature, where they will perform the cer-emony of the flags.

A celebration of nation-hood created and first per-formed in 1967 to mark Canada’s centennial, the event will feature more than 100 cadets in the guard, 84 in the flag party and man-ning naval guns, and 77 more in a marching band.

The group will perform on the front lawn from roughly 7:50 to 9 p.m.

As temperatures climb this weekend and people across the Capital Region head to their favourite swimming holes to beat the heat, they

won’t be alone.Capital Regional

District parks staff, bylaw enforcement officers and West Shore RCMP officers will continue their patrols of summertime hotspots in an effort to curb liquor and other

bylaw infractions.This season has

been much quieter for enforcement, perhaps due to the cooler weather, said Janette Loveys, manager of park operations.

“Most of our work has been around

making contact with park visitors in a very proactive way and then seeking volunteer compliance,” she said. “Alcohol is either dumped or people chose to leave.”

The fine for consuming liquor in a park is $200.

“We want to make sure that it’s a positive park experience for everyone,” Loveys said. “There might be behaviour or safety issues as well. Often it is alcohol though, because if it’s a nice summer day, people want to go out and have a drink.”

Thetis Lake and Sooke Potholes are two parks constantly patrolled, while Elk/Beaver Lake, like any other CRD park, is being monitored.

“We want park visitors to see the patrols,” she said. “Having the presence in a proactive way addresses issues before they become significant.”[email protected]

Victoria has a new planDocument will guide public decisions for the next 30 yearsDaniel PalmerNews staff

Council adopted its Official Community Plan this week, but not before councillors made amendments in response to a wave of public input.

The plan now includes lan-guage supporting the creation of specific greenways between neighbourhoods, and identifies major roadways as “multi-modal transportation corridors.”

One of the goals of the vision-ary community plan is to sup-port walkable neighbourhood hubs and emphasize alternative transportation methods, such as cycling and transit.

“Over the next 30 years, we are going to see significant shifts in the way people trans-port themselves,” said Coun. Lisa Helps.

The population of Victoria is expected to increase by 20,000 to a little over 100,000 during the same period.

“Arterial roads” such as Gorge Road, Douglas Street and Bay Street will even-tually be developed to accommodate sus-tainable transportation, Helps said.

While the city has an estab-lished Greenways Plan, the OCP lacked explicit language to sup-port greenways from Selkirk Vil-lage through to Chinatown and within the Rockland neighbour-hood, Coun. Ben Isitt said.

Greenways are corridors of

park-like space that allow for greater pedestrian and cycling travel.

“Rockland has the smallest amount of park space of any Victoria neighbour-hood, so we inserted language to support a greenway connection in Rockland and to explore the acquisi-tion of new parkland,” he said.

Previous amend-ments included an emphasis on the

importance of public interests over private development inter-ests along the Inner and Upper Harbour.

The public input process of the OCP involved more than 6,000 residents.

The plan is available online at shapeyourfutureVictoria.ca.

The summer sees

more people travelling

over the border, making the

most of the warm weather and

school vacation. It’s also the

time many discover they’re

under-insured when they incur

steep unexpected medical

expenses in a foreign country.

These can, however, be easily

avoided by asking a few

pertinent questions before

you go.

Do I need travel insurance for a quick trip across the border?

Accidents are just as likely

to happen on a day trip as any

other day at home or at work.

Driving on unknown routes

could potentially increase the

odds. As always, it’s best to

ensure you’re fully covered.

Does BC Medical Services Plan cover everything?

Provincial health care is

unlikely to cover all of your

medical expenses incurred

out of province, or overseas. In

fact, the Canadian government

recommends that travellers

purchase travel insurance

when leaving the country

because of the extremely high

cost of medical care outside

of Canada.

My credit card automatically covers that, right?

You may not have adequate

coverage through your credit

card plan. Check to ensure you

have medical coverage, not

just travel accident insurance

as there is a difference, and

that the medical coverage

meets your needs.

Is my work travel insurance plan adequate for this trip?

Many plans offered through

employers lack certain

options, like trip cancellation

or interruption insurance. You

can purchase these on their

own to complement your

company’s travel insurance.

Also, some employee plans

only cover the employee, so

if you are travelling with your

family, ask your insurance

specialist about a family

travel insurance plan, for both

medical or trip cancellation/

interruption insurance.

Do your research and ask

the right questions. Visit a

BCAA location and speak with

an insurance specialist who

will be happy to advise you, or

visit bcaa.com/travelinsurance

before you go and make the

most of your trip.

Phyllis McCormand slings her leg over the back of a park bench at Clover Point on Dallas Road and leans into a deep stretch.

Later, she’ll smile before gracefully bending forward and pressing her hands flat against the ground.

At 88, McCormand has no problem following personal trainer Kristina Kowalski in a brief stretching session.

McCormand cannot, however, participate in a study recently launched by Kowalski, a PhD candidate in the University of Victoria’s school of exercise sci-ence and the department of psy-chology.

When she heard Kowalski was looking for 100 seniors to participate in a study that aims to uncover the cognitive and physiological benefits of walk-ing, McCormand was keen to sign up. But she couldn’t – she is already too active.

She starts her day with an hour-long walk through Lam-brick Park.

“She felt that I walked around the park too much, ran up and down the stairs too much,” said McCormand, who also partici-pates in exercise sessions at The Victorian, a retirement resi-dence in Gordon Head. “I don’t specifically pay any attention. I just walk.”

Kowalski is recruiting people over age 65 who aren’t meeting Health Canada’s physical activ-ity guidelines of 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity each week, for an eight-week study slated to begin this month.

Walking groups will likely take place near the Gorge, UVic, Loch-side, Dallas Road and Elk Lake. Kowalski plans to begin groups with lower intensity, 15-minute

walks at the start of the study and build to 30 to 45 minutes of moderate intensity by the time her research is through.

Findings will be tracked through questionnaires, walking tests and the use of a pressure sensitive mat to measure gait – an indicator of cognitive func-tion, said Kowalski, who holds a bachelor of science degree in kinesiology and psychology and a masters in clinical neuropsy-chology.

“I have a unique background in both kinesiology, exercise sci-ence and I’ve always had a big interest in brain health.

“There’s a growing need to look at that area, because we do have a larger population of older adults. It’s a rapidly expanding portion of our population and physical activity is a way to pro-mote our health as we age.”

Strengthening Kowalski’s argument on the merits of an active lifestyle is 71-year-old Bob McMillan of Victoria – who also didn’t meet the criteria for Kowalski’s study, given that he already walks four to five times each week on the Dallas Road pathway.

McMillan has reduced func-tion in one leg as a result of polio as a child. While his leg is the

reason he gave up golfing and skiing, two of his favourite activi-ties, it also caused him to ramp up the activities in which he can still participate, such as routine walks.

“You’ve got to do something to keep the body going,” McMillan said. “You do what you can do.”

Kowalski aims to develop programs geared toward main-taining cognitive and physical health, boosting independence and quality of life, and reduc-ing the risk of cognitive decline and dementia. “We can’t control things like genetics, but there’s a lot we can do to promote our brain health.”

Kowalsi doesn’t just walk the walk when it comes to her aca-demic pursuits. When she’s not crafting her dissertation, she is swimming, running and biking her way around town. Last year alone she competed in nine tri-athlons.

“Maybe if some of the people in a (retirement) home see this, they might be motivated to do the same,” McMillan added.

Dunahee tournament helps Child FindTwenty-four teams are signed up

for the 21st annual Michael Duna-hee slowpitch Tournament of Hope, set for the Aug. 11-12 weekend at Topaz Park.

The annual event is the biggest fundraiser of the summer for Child Find B.C., said president Crystal Dunahee.

“The money raised through the Tournament of Hope goes toward printing costs for Child Find B.C. literature and the All About Me ID Kits,” she said.

The tournament once again pro-

vides free child care for players, with licensed child-care profession-als on site.

Among the highlights of the week-end is the annual “kids game” at 1 p.m. on the Sunday. Later that day, at 4 p.m., skydivers will descend with the game ball before the tour-nament championship game.

The tournament attracts teams from around the Island and the Lower Mainland – some teams have participated since the first event. Everyone is welcome to attend.

OUR VIEW

To move or not to move for your first job, that is the question.

In this day and age and economic climate, being a new university or college grad can be a frightening and unnerving experience.

Headlines in the media seem to consistently highlight the bleak job prospects in a variety of different professions, while post-secondary institutions continue to churn out more and more grads.

The scarcity of jobs and large demographic of talented prospects makes for unfavourable odds of employment in the city.

Another challenge is the loss of entry-level jobs.

In order to snag your first job related to your education, experience is usually a requirement. And generally, as a new grad, most of your work history entails time spent behind a coffee counter or on the sales floor at a retail store.

The dilemma is somewhat mind-boggling.

You can’t get a job unless you have experience, but you can’t get experience without first attaining

a job. It’s hard to figure out how to enter the job market when the main obstruction is a contradiction.

Many young people are taking jobs in customer service and the hospitality industry to supplement their income while they search for their first career-paving position.

Depending on your field, whether you’re in the teaching, engineering, medical or journalism industries, jobs are in places far away from Canada’s metropolises.

The greatest benefit for a young person is receiving experience in his or her respective profession.

Moving to and living in a small town is also an opportunity to embark on that long-awaited rural adventure – given that you have a desire to explore a different region and lifestyle.

Small towns are generally on the periphery of the wilderness, with plenty to see and do in terms of outdoor activities.

There’s also the benefit of increased job security.

Small towns, on occasion, have

difficulty recruiting talent, as many people are reluctant to leave the comforts of the city.

You may also be given the opportunity to learn more and hold a larger number of responsibilities than you would have in the city, as there are generally fewer staff at small-town operations.

The experience you receive in a small town as a permanent, full-time employee will bulk up your resumé for job applications in the city.

The downsides include starting new, adjusting to small-town life and leaving behind family, friends and the city’s bright lights.

Small towns also offer different forms of entertainment, which some people either can or can’t embrace.

Staying in the city and fighting for a spot in the workplace is an admirable ambition. Some succeed, but many of us don’t.

In general, to write off a small town is to lose out on opportunities.

How much do you really want to do what you do, if you aren’t willing to make a few sacrifices along the way?

Small towns, unique experiences

Licence probe a positive move

Depending what side of the fence you sit on, automatic licence plate readers are either another step closer to a Big Brother surveillance society, or a needed piece of technology police can use to nab car thieves and bad drivers.

Either way, it is a good decision by B.C. Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham to try and shed light on how licence plate readers work, what data is collected and how it is used.

Victoria and Saanich police departments and the regional Integrated Road Safety Unit each use a high-tech, high-speed camera which can read thousands of plates per hour and match them against those from stolen and uninsured vehicles, and help identify people without valid licences or those who are prohibited from driving – collectively known by police as “hits.”

The Victoria and Saanich police insist they don’t amass and store gigabytes of licence plate image data. That much is true – it’s all passed on to the RCMP, which administers and oversees the licence reader program. All the data is stored on RCMP servers, hits and non-hits alike. RCMP bosses indicate the program could be expanded to help police conducting serious crimes investigations.

Victoria-based critics say the plate-scanning program has veered far outside its original mandate to efficiently find bad drivers, and is headed into mass population surveillance, or surveilling known activists.

This suggestion seems like conspiracy theory, but it is a fair question to ask how much surveillance people should be subjected to, what data is being collected and kept and how it’s being stored.

On days the readers are in use, Saanich and Victoria police officers retrieve an encrypted memory stick from the RCMP with flagged drivers’ plate numbers, which is plugged into the system. At the end of the shift, the collected data and encrypted database is returned to the RCMP.

Hopefully the B.C. privacy commissioner can offer suggestions to balance the tension between privacy rights and law enforcement. But that investigation likely won’t be able to probe the most troubling aspect of the automatic licence plate reading program – the collection and storage by the RCMP of the locations and movements of innocent people going about their daily lives.

The federal privacy watchdog needs to investigate what the RCMP is doing with this data. Police should have their tools, but civil rights shouldn’t be thrown under the bus.

OPINIONCarbon Trust has run its course

The B.C. government’s Pacific Carbon Trust has become frighteningly adept at taking taxpayers’ money – $14 million last year – and transferring it to big businesses.

It’s time for the provincial government to scrap the Trust, and end corporate welfare disguised as environmentalism. The numbers prove that transferring tax dollars to companies through the illusion of carbon neutrality is a massive failure.

The Trust’s new annual report, released in late July, shows that government agencies purchased 775,825 of the 777,992 carbon offsets sold by the Trust last year. That means 99.7 per cent of the Trust’s work was funded by taxpayers.

Only 12 private companies or individuals bought carbon credits last year for a measly $54,050. The rest of the Trust’s $14-million budget was funded exclusively by taxpayers, taking money out of our pockets, classrooms, hospitals and social services.

For example, the Vancouver Island Health Authority was forced to buy $887,926 in carbon credits. The Vancouver School Board spent $454,824 and the Northern Health Authority paid $650,466.

Under provincial law, any provincial government agency that wasn’t already carbon neutral had to purchase offsets

from the Trust.Even worse, that taxpayer

money flowed exclusively into the pockets of corporations, including some of the largest

companies in the province.

Lafarge, a $20-billion company, was paid by the Trust for 22,998 carbon credits. Encana, an $8.8-billion company, sold 84,276 credits. Canfor, a $2.5-billion company, sold 41,573 credits. Other sellers included TimberWest and Interfor.

These companies reduced their carbon footprints through various projects such as switching fuel sources and sold the resulting pollution savings, known as carbon credits, to the Trust. The Trust acts as a middleman, buying carbon credits from private companies with tax dollars.

The Trust does not publish the cost of purchasing carbon credits from these private companies, only saying it’s less than the $25 price tag they put on each carbon credit when they’re selling them to various government agencies. At a conservative estimate of $20 per credit, that’s almost $1.7 million to Encana, $831,000 to Canfor and almost half a million dollars to Lafarge.

When the Trust was first announced in the B.C. Liberals’ 2008 throne speech, the government promised that it would “foster economic

growth from new opportunities … (by attracting) offset purchases from private citizens, companies and other governments alike.”

That hasn’t happened; the Trust is still a drain on provincial taxpayers – and getting worse. Two years ago, individuals and businesses bought 6,790 carbon credits. Last year, that number fell by more than two-thirds to 2,167.

In a free market, that kind of consumer rejection would be taken as a sign to either radically change the model or get out of the business altogether. For government, it’s just another day at the office.

Government’s spring 2012 announcement that $5 million of Trust funds will flow back to school districts to lower carbon emissions won’t solve the problem. This will only transfer money from poorer districts to wealthier ones that can afford capital upgrades. And the fund is still only one-third of the total cost to taxpayers – meaning millions more in corporate handouts in years to come.

The best solution is the simplest one: scrap the Pacific Carbon Trust and keep our tax dollars out of the pockets of these private companies. While the notion of a carbon-neutral government may sound nice on a website, doing it through corporate welfare hurts both taxpayers and the public services we fund.

Politicians should listento fact-based science

Re: Scientists must hound CRD (Our View, July 25)

The ongoing debate for and against sewage treatment in the Capital Regional District has been going on too long. On one side are those whose opinions are based, it seems, on unfounded images of our effluent floating around our waters and deterring the tourists.

On the other side are the scientists, who actually study our waters and tell us there is no scientific evidence of any benefit from installing secondary treatment.

The scientists who have spent years acquiring their knowledge based on fact, not surmise, are the people whose opinions should be followed. They should speak up more forcibly and insist we hear and understand the true facts: that the money saved would be there for more urgent matters, such as the loss of marine habitat due to development and the impact of invasive and non-native species.

Cyclists need to adhereto Motor Vehicle Act

A recent edition of the News (July 25) carried an article reporting on two separate accidents, one of which saw a cyclist trapped underneath a truck that was making a right turn.

The comment from the Victoria Police Department spokesman was that “drivers should always shoulder check and cyclists also have a responsibility to make themselves visible to drivers.”

Rather than putting the onus on drivers to always shoulder check and bikers just making themselves visible, cyclists have a responsibility to act according to the Motor Vehicle Act and ride according to the rules of the road.

Being a cyclist myself, I have seen many incidents where cyclists do their utmost to sneak up the inside and go through intersections when the intelligent thing to do is wait, stay behind the vehicle, let them turn right and then proceed.

Let’s all be accident-free.Harry Felsing

Parsons claims the informa-tion is already being cross-referenced with child custody and other court records unre-lated to driving infractions, but Boucher denies this.

“It doesn’t flag somebody simply because he’s got a criminal record,” Boucher said. “These are for hits where we have outstanding action to be taken against an individ-ual.”

To resolve these concerns, Parsons and fellow research-ers Bruce Wipond and Kevin McArthur submitted their findings to B.C.’s Office of the Information and Privacy Com-missioner, which set in motion an investigation into VicPD’s use of the technology.

Because the RCMP is out-side of provincial jurisdiction, Denham’s investigation is limited in scope to municipal police services.

“The investigation will look at general questions like what kind of information (VicPD) are collecting, how are they using it, is it retained or dis-closed to anybody?” said Cara McGregor, privacy commis-sioner spokesperson.

Saanich police purchased a plate reader of its own this year and it has been in opera-tion for a couple months.

Sgt. Dean Jantzen said the device has “proven its worth” in the time it’s been in oper-ation. “It generates a lot of activity for our traffic safety officers,” he said.

Jantzen, though not trained on the machine, reaffirmed that “non-hit” data is never used.

“As long as you’re not a suspended driver, that your licence is in good standing, that you have valid insurance, there’s no reason you’ll ever come into conflict with this device,” he said.

The privacy commission-er’s report is due to be pub-lished next month and will be the first privacy review of the technology in Canada.

In a statement, VicPD Chief Const. Jamie Graham said Automated Licence Plate Recognition is an “incred-ibly important application that directly contributes to

improved road safety.”VicPD, which began using

the program in March 2011, is co-operating with the inves-tigation and has developed internal policies to govern the use of the device, department spokesman Mike Tucker said.

Songhees limit accessto Discovery IslandCampers, tourists damaging islands off Saanich, Oak BayLaura LavinNews staff

Discovery Island is closed to the public because of a wolf spotted roaming the land, but the Songhees First Nation says most of it is not open to the public at any time.

About one-third of Discovery Island and all of the Chatham Islands are reserve land, confirmed Songhees bylaw officer Trevor Absolon.

“A lot of people are totally unaware of that.”The islands are not disputed territories, but

established reserves that were home to the Songhees people for thousands of years, Absolon said, and a place where band members lived until the late 1940s.

“You have to forgive people to a degree because there’s not a lot of information out there,” he said. “People and families have been going out there for decades, but now the Songhees are self-governing and have their own land code.”

The islands are marked with “no trespassing” signs, but Absolon said that doesn’t stop partiers or tour companies from using the islands. “There’s a high risk to a beautiful, delicate ecosystem. If one fire gets out of control, it will all be lost.”

The Songhees Nation is stepping up patrols to demonstrate its jurisdictional control and ownership of the islands.

Signage at Cattle Point and Oak Bay Marina are part of a public awareness campaign.

The First Nation will begin patrolling the islands by boat and on foot, with the help of the RCMP South Island Marine Section, to combat the increasing amount of garbage left by trespassers.

Violators face up to a $1,000 fine, 30 days in jail, or both if caught trespassing on Songhees land.

“Once things are under control we will start some kind of a permit system,” Absolon said.

One of the men allegedly behind an attempted prison break from the Wilkinson Road jail last year is scheduled to go to trial for the incident next year.

In July 2011, Saanich police said two prisoners created a large hole in the ceiling of a cell at the Vancouver Island Regional Correctional Centre, a maximum security prison and remand cen-tre on Wilkinson Road.

The hole was apparently big enough for somebody to fit through, but it remains unclear

if either man used it to try escap-ing from the cell.

“The circumstances are dra-matic and very movie-like,” Saanich police Sgt. Dean Jantzen told the News at the time.

The Saanich department investigated the attempted jail-break and Jantzen gave assur-ances that the incident posed no risk to public safety.

Andrew Jonathon Belcourt, 22, is charged with breaking out of a prison cell with intent to escape on July 12, 2011.

He appeared in B.C. Supreme Court this week in Victoria, and a trial date was fixed for March

2013 in B.C. Supreme Court. The same charge was dropped against co-accused Max Higley.

The only publicly known escape from Wilkinson Road jail was in 1986 by Robert Moyes, a career criminal later convicted of murdering seven people.

Belcourt remains in cus-tody and is also headed to B.C. Supreme Court in September for a pretrial hearing for the murder of Leslie Ronald Hankel in Fern-wood on March 3, 2010.

Samuel Gregory McGrath is also charged with murder for that crime.

Wilkinson jailbreak leads to trial

Judge rejects legal arguments in murdered husband caseEdward HillNews staff

Ruby Ann Ruffolo has been denied a new trial and stands convicted of first-degree murder in the death of her husband nine years ago in Saanich.

In a written ruling released last week, B.C. Court of Appeal Justice Lance Finch dismissed Ruffolo’s main argument that her second lawyer on her second trial was “ineffective” because he failed to question her daughter Jovanna Ruffolo on the daugh-ter’s whereabouts on the night John Ruffolo was killed.

In the appeal court ruling, Finch dismissed an affidavit from Jovanna sworn in March this year that suggested she was at home the night of the murder and that she didn’t hear or see anything out of the ordinary.

On Nov. 18, 2010, Ruffolo was

convicted of killing her husband John Ruffolo by giving him a pro-tein shake laced with the drug amtripyline followed by a lethal dose of heroin on Oct. 19, 2003, at their Tulip Avenue home.

A few days later, his body was found in a ditch on Humpback Road in Langford.

In his written ruling, Finch doubted Jovanna’s recollection of events were better now than in 2004 at age 13 or 14, when she told police she wasn’t sure if she was home the night of Oct. 19, 2003.

Ruffolo also argued that her lawyer Greg DelBigio failed to cross examine Jovanna on the daughter’s whereabouts the night of the murder, going against Ruffolo’s wishes at her second trial.

The justice noted that Ruf-folo didn’t raise this issue until March this year, and had ample chances to do so during her trial.

Justice Finch also pointed out Rufollo’s suggestion her daugh-ter was home contradicted her earlier rather detailed notes that Jovanna had spent the night at a

friend’s house.Ruffolo’s attempt to “explain

this evidence away” is “not capa-ble of belief,” the justice wrote.

Other complaints by Ruffolo, such as her first lawyer giving ineffective assistance, or that her trial was unfair due to a pro-cedural issue, were equally dis-missed as baseless.

Ruffolo is serving a life sen-tence without chance of parole for 25 years.

Beacon Hill hosts Free-B Film Festival

There are two types of owners you might expect at any classic car show, says Ken Agate.

“(There’s) the person into building and assembly, then they start another,” says Agate, organizer of Sunday’s (Aug. 5) Oak Bay Collector Car Festival (formerly Blethering Place). “Then there’s (the person into) the shining and caring for them. I’m a bit of each.”

Bill Botting of Oak Bay admits to being that guy as well.

“Build them and use them, that’s me,” he says, gesturing to his latest rebuild. “I’m going to use it daily. (It’s) very good on gasoline.”

Botting picked up the 1938 Standard Flying 8 Tourer during the annual Garagellenium sale 10 years ago.

“We’ve restored the whole thing. It was in tough shape,” he says of the wood-framed car, for which he paid $3,000. “That car’s so rare … there are only two oth-ers with left-hand drive in North America.”

He hopes to bring it down to the Oak Bay Avenue show this weekend – provided he’s able to start it. If it won’t, the Oak Bay senior will resort to his 1969

Jaguar that’s been in the event before.

Cars are a hobby that keep Botting, 86, busy.

“My wife says, ‘It’s a good thing. It keeps you out of the pool halls,’” he says with a chuckle.

Botting already has the basis for next year’s project – a 1956 Morris Minor. He plans to bring it to the 2013 show and shine.

Prizes are awarded for crowd-pleasing cars including ladies choice; policeman’s choice; fur-thest travelled – for the car with the longest commute – and best survivor for an unrestored car nearest to its original condition.

About 300 vehicles are expected on Oak Bay Avenue between Monterey and Mitchell streets from 8 a.m. to 3:30 [email protected]

HOT TICKETTony Bennett

It doesn’t get any hotter than a tango under the summer sun.

Centennial Square is one of the major venues for this year’s Tango Fest, with an afternoon of live tango and Latin jazz, as well as dancing outside on Sunday (Aug. 12).

It’s all part of the three-day festival, which starts with Duo Tangabrazo, Ben Thomas and Alex Chadsey, playing Her-mann’s Jazz Club on Friday night.

Seattle-based Tangabrazo play jazz-tango with a dash of Latin, a growing theme at Tango Fest.

“We’re finding out what people want, which is more Latin music during the weekend,” said June Waters. The Victo-ria resident is the program co-ordinator for the Passion for Tango Society, which developed the festival and is looking to expand it even further.

“Tango has always had its ups and downs as a trend since it began in Bue-nos Aires, Arg. in the 1880s.

“The latest revival is electronic tango, which is not in Canada yet, out of Paris and Buenos Aires. But we hope to get it one day, as Latin is becoming a greater part of Tango Fest.”

Waters expects Tangabrazo to fill Hermann’s on Friday.

“Jazz tango was a big hit when we introduced it last year and peo-ple were turned away at the door, and tickets are already going for this year’s (opener).”

The headline event of the weekend is Quartango at the Alix Goolden Hall on Saturday night.

“Quartango are without a doubt the most prominent tango group going,” Waters said. University of Victoria music instructor Jonathon Goldman is one-fifth of Quartango,

and summers in Montreal, home of the band, to keep it up.

Montreal is also home to North Ameri-ca’s oldest tango scene.

Saturday night won’t end there, as the jazz element will relocate at St. John’s Hall, 1611 Quadra St., for a late night ses-sion,

“(Percussionist) Ben Thomas will be playing there too, among others, and a nuevo dance performance,” Waters said.

“We call it Cafe Buenos Aires because it starts so late, just like Buenos Aires, where nothing gets going before 11 p.m.”

Quartango will also be available for a Saturday afternoon workshop at Lar-sen Music on Cook Street. Registration is through Larsenmusic.ca, 250-389-1988.

The festival picks up again on Sunday afternoon with the free live music and dancing show in Centennial Square.

Sunday stands out from the weekend as the best time for spectators to watch quality tango dancing.

“There’ll be a free tango and Latin danc-ing class, a big dance floor and nuevo dance instructors there to teach and dance,” Waters said.

The festival wraps up with vocalist Anna Acevedo and her quartet at Her-mann’s on Sunday night. Acevedo will be accompanied by local Latin jazz pianist Pablo Cardenas, a veteran of the past two

Legendary folk music icon Arlo Guthrie is touring in select cities across North America with three generations of Guthries to celebrate Woody Guthrie’s 100th birthday (July 14, 1912).

The Guthrie Family Reunion tour will make its way to a dozen venues and music festivals, including the Butchart Gardens.

“Getting the family together and heading out on the road is the perfect way to celebrate my father’s centennial,” said Guthrie. “Only once before did we have the whole family on tour, and we did 80 shows. Instead of doing an entire year of touring and taking the kids out of school, we are focusing on shows right around Woody’s actual birthday. This time of year marks

the climax of the Woody Guthrie centennial celebrations all over the world. I’ll also continue my solo touring in honour of my dad through spring 2013.”

The Guthrie family will perform several Woody Guthrie songs as well as various Arlo Guthrie standards and new material written by members of the Guthrie family.

“The family’s new songs are a great representation of our heritage. I like the idea of Woody’s legacy being carried forth, not only by performing his songs, but to show how it moves us to write our own songs,” Guthrie said.

The Guthrie Family Reunion features Arlo alongside his son Abe, who has contributed

keyboards and backing vocals to his father’s live shows since the ‘80s. His daughters Cathy, Annie and Sarah Lee Guthrie, all of who have their own bustling music careers, support by singing songs and accompanying on acoustic guitars. Sarah Lee’s musical partner and husband Johnny Irion will lead songs and lend his stalwart guitar playing. The youngest generation of Guthrie kids will join in the fun on select songs.

Arlo Guthrie and the Guthrie Family Reunion celebrating Woody’s 100th birthday is Tuesday, Aug. 7, at 7:30 p.m. at the Butchart Gardens, 800 Benvenuto Ave. in Central Saanich. Tickets are $33 for adults, $17 for youth and $3 for children. For ticket information call 250-652-4422 or go to butchartgardens.com.

To follow Kyle Slavin’s Twitter updates from the final weeks of training and throughout the ride, follow @TDRKyle.

Niki Hodgkinson was 16 when she shaved her head for the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock.

Eleven years later she’s riding in the Tour de Rock as a rookie officer with Saanich police. The annual fundraiser she started at Oak Bay high school has been ongoing ever since.

“I’ve wanted to get involved since then, and wanted to be (a cop), I just didn’t think I’d be able to ride on the Tour so soon,” Hodgkinson said.

The 27-year-old is at one end of the spectrum, while fellow Saanich officer Jana Sawyer is at the other end.

Sawyer has worn a badge for 28 years, starting with nine years in the RCMP. The past 19 years she’s been with Saanich, making her one of the longest serving women there.

“I’d always wanted to ride the Tour de Rock, but with three teenage boys and a husband with (Victoria Police Department), I needed the support from home, and now I’ve got it,” Sawyer said.

Cancer has taken a personal toll on her family. “Lung cancer took my mother-in-law eight years ago and my own mom six years ago when it spread to her brain.”

Rookie or veteran, both police officers have learned a lot about bicycling, and a lot about what makes the Tour de Rock such a demanding but rewarding campaign.

“As far as cycling, you couldn’t jump into it with this type of training intensity without such a big goal,” Sawyer said.

While cycling at this level is new for

Hodgkinson, she brings experience to the fundraising component.

Oak Bay High can be relied on as one of the highest contributors from the Greater Victoria community, as well as Reynolds secondary.

“Reynolds (principal) Alana Charlton was at Oak Bay when I was a student and helped me get the campaign started,” Hodgkinson said.

Biking too, was Hodgkinson’s initiative. Seniority usually dictates which Saanich Police officers will ride on the Tour de Rock, but the rookie was ready.

“Last year when I got hired the first thing I bought was a (road) bike. But I don’t think anyone’s done Tour de Rock in their first year here. I got lucky.”

Lucky is something Sawyer hasn’t been. Twice she’s taken a spill, the first a

dangerous tumble over the handlebars and onto the pavement down Willis Point Road. It kept her away from training for 10 days. Soon after she returned, Sawyer twisted her ankle trying to detach her cleat from the pedal during a speedy descent near Observatory Hill.

Sprained ankle and all, Sawyer toughed it up the team’s ascent of Mount Washington last week, their most exhausting day of training by far.

“Once you do (Mt. Washington), you know you can handle any day on the Tour,” Sawyer said. “It’s a confidence builder.”

Andrew Russell and Matt Sharpe recently learned what happens when training part-ners end up racing neck-and-neck in the final kilometre of a triathlon.

The two Victoria triathletes finished first and second, respectively, at the Interna-tional Triathlon Union’s Con-tinental Cup race in Magog, Que., on July 21.

The final kilometre was a scenario they’d been in many times over the past three years, having linked up dozens of times for training sessions, including many with Olympic team members Simon Whit-field and Kyle Jones.

“It was a situation that felt like a session in Beacon Hill Park, just running with your buddy and bringing out the best in each other,” Russell said.

But the race mentality is a different world, and even the keen sense of Sharpe, a young-ster at 21-years-old, couldn’t match the late burst by Rus-sell, who finished 16 seconds ahead for the win.

“We could see the turn-around point and knew we were quite a ways from the other runners behind us, so the race tac-tics shifted to us,” Sharpe said. “I know how fit Russell is, so I relaxed a bit as I knew he was going to surge. I figured he would, and on the final kilometre I couldn’t match him.”

The win is Russell’s first on the ITU circuit, a lifetime achievement he’s been chasing since moving to Victoria from Revelstoke with pro intentions five years ago.

And Sharpe has no problems finishing second to 30-year-old Russell.

It was only the fourth ITU race for Sharpe, a Claremont secondary grad, and he’s fast becoming an international threat, making a seamless transition from under-23 to the elite category. Last

year Sharpe won his second Olympic distance race, taking gold in the U23 Pan American Cup race in San Francisco.

On July 8 Sharpe was eighth overall at the Edmonton ITU Triathlon World Cup race (Kyle Jones took gold). Sharpe was also the first among the U23 competitors in Edmonton, clinching him the Cana-dian U23 championship for 2012.

“Most athletes go through some grow-ing pains with this transition as they fig-ure it out,” Russell said. “Not Matt, who went from cramping and running the slowest 10km of his life in his first ITU to winning in San Francisco three weeks later, trumping two current Olympians in the process.”

Sharpe has blossomed under the

guidance of coach Patrick Kelly and the National Triathlon Centre. He’s also trained with Russell and Whitfield, most recently for a two-month stint in New Zealand earlier this year.

“We met up with some more world-class athletes, and it was huge for my development,” Sharpe said.

Next up for Sharpe is the Kelowna Apple Triathlon on Aug. 18.

Don’t let Simon wear you down

This week Andrew Russell is in London, training with Simon Whit-field and Kyle Jones as the latter pair prep for their Olympic event on Aug. 7.

Russell will move on to an Iron-man in Europe later this month.

Russell’s partnership with Whit-field dates back to 2007 when Russell arrived in Victoria. By 2009 Russell was regularly alongside Whitfield and Jones. Most recently, the trio is part of a highly elite group under the tutelage of Olym-pic marathoner turned coach Jon Brown.

It’s brought Russell to new heights, finally winning his first ITU this year. “Training alongside (Whit-field), a two-time medalist, has raised my game and I cannot thank him enough for that,” Russell said. “It has shown me what is possible with dedication and honest, hard work. The last three years I’ll cher-ish for sure.”

However, Russell said his group is not for everyone.

“The expectations and require-ments each day with Simon are fierce and it can often wear on ath-letes. I learned that I am not Simon and I can’t handle the amount of training he does and the pace he does it in.

“You need to self-govern yourself within the program to get the most out of it while not getting run-down.

“Brown has been great with this aspect. He reads athletes well and balances my training to suit.”

VICTORIA NEWS - Friday, August 3, 2012 www.vicnews.com • A19

Wandering slowly down an aisle in the Staples store in Saanich, Taryn

Tuckwell’s eyes light up as he spies the range of new pens and pencils he might use for school this fall.

The 10-year-old is typical of the many young students whose

families will get help with back-to-school expenses this fall through the seventh annual Staples School Supply Drive.

He slips a shiny, chrome pen set off its hook. “How about this one, dad?” Taryn asks Trevor

Tuckwell, a former client of the 1-Up Single Parent Resource Centre and now administrative co-ordinator for the Greater Victoria service provider.

For the first time, the three area Staples stores have partnered with 1-Up in the School Supply Drive. The stores are directing a portion of the funds raised to the local organization, which annually collects supplies for client families in need.

“We always look at building relationships in our communities,” says Staples’ Fort

Street store general manager Ryan Webber. “We’re trying to make it as seamless as possible and want to help kids in need.”

Nationally, Staples raised more than $1 million last year with its School Supply Drive.

Locally, the three Greater Victoria stores – downtown, Tolmie Avenue and in Langford – are out to collect $26,000 in supplies and cash donations between now and the end of August. The donations will be passed along to various organizations working with families in need, including 1-Up.

This year the resource centre hopes to fill 200 backpacks – valued at between $70 and $100 each, depending on the age and grade of the child.

Kari Frazer, 1-Up’s executive in charge of special projects, says the efforts of Staples’ staff in accepting donations and packaging supplies is invaluable, given the large amount of time 1-Up staff spend on the project annually.

“I’m not sure we could continue without partnerships like this,” she says. “It’s so vital for parents to get the school supplies and take the stress off.”

Customers can make donations various ways in-store. For people wishing to donate to 1-Up at Staples or directly, tax receipts are available for donations of $20 or greater.

On Saturday, Aug. 18, Staples at 780 Tolmie Ave., north of the Mayfair Shopping Centre, will host a major fundraiser for School Supply Drive, with activities, food sales and raffles.

Other Staples stores are at 100-747 Fort St. downtown and 789 McCallum Rd. in Langford.

Events & Activities... Financial advisor has fun with his investmentsYou can’t drive your

investment portfolio or Registered Retirement Savings Plan across Canada in vintage car tours or cruise your savings to car shows.

Trail investment advisor Leo Salsman takes his own advice when it comes to having fun with classic cars as investments. He and wife Adele buy a classic vehicle every second year on average.

The adventures in buying and driving the classics are many. Salsman is from a family of eight girls and eight boys. His father had a trucking company and his older brothers were into cars. He showed an early interest in mechanics by trying to rebuild his fi rst engine in a 1930 Chevrolet coupe at the age of 10. “We knew every car and used to play a game of guessing what kind of car was coming down the road by the sound it made,” he recalls.

He always loved General Motors cars and his fi rst was a 1947 Chevy. After traveling to Port Alberni on Vancouver Island from his native Nova Scotia with his older brother and a friend, the brothers set out to buy cars. Salsman’s brother bought a 1961 Chevrolet Implala. Leo, then age 21, purchased a new 1965 Pontiac Beaumont from the dealer’s showroom in Duncan.

The next year, he traded for a new 1966 Chevrolet Caprice and moved to Trail to join another brother in business.

He has been a licensed investment dealer with his own company – Salsman Insurance Agency – in downtown Trail since 1979. He still has the fi rst classic car – a restored 1938 Buick sedan – purchased in Spokane, Wa.

In 1994, while visiting Adele’s hometown of Lethbridge, he saw a beautiful white 1958 Chevrolet Impala drive by. He chased the car down and bought it on the spot. Adele drove the Impala back to Trail despite never having driven a classic car before.

In 2000, Leo and Adele Salsman joined a Vintage Car Club of Canada

tour for a return trip to Newfoundland. They drove their 1958 Chevrolet Impala pulling a vintage travel trailer.

During a stop in Brandon, Manitoba, they were told about a restored 1950 Chevrolet one ton pickup truck. Leo later returned to Brandon to buy the truck and drive it home to Trail.

“My brother bought a new 1958 Chevy hardtop and I always loved it,” Salsman says. “Also, the same brother had bought a 1955 Chevrolet BelAir previous to the 1958.”

Leo added a fully restored 1956 red and white two door hardtop to his collection.

His love affair with classic Chevys was further satisfi ed in 2004 when his barber told him about a stunning red 1957 Cheverolet BelAir hardtop in Post Falls, Idaho. Leo had to pry the fully restored car away from a very reluctant seller who was wooed over a three-hour brunch.

Salsman’s 1959 Chevrolet Impala hardtop was fi rst sighted on Ebay. Leo had to fi nd someone who knew how to bid. The car was owned by a General Motors dealer in Winnipeg and turned out to be a very shrewd purchase.

In 2010, Leo and Adele Salsman

again hooked up the travel trailer and drove the 1959 Chevrolet Impala on a coast-to-coast return trip across Canada covering 24,000 kilometres.

Cruising the internet clicked one more time when the couple hooked into a 1961 Chevrolet Impala in Des Moines, Iowa. The two-tone green four door sedan looks and runs like a showroom model. “The colour knocked our socks off,” Leo says. “We drove it home to Trail.”

The couple is now looking for a 1960 Chevrolet Impala and possibly a 1955 Chevrolet BelAir to turn their collection into a perfect set. They may

Jaguar second of industry nameplates in J.D. Power & Associates APEAL Study

The Land Rover Evoque was named Most Appealing Entry Premium Crossover SUV in the most recent J.D. Power and Associates 2012 Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study.

METROLAND MEDIAWHEELSTALK.COM

According to J.D. Power and Associates 2012 Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study, Jaguar ranks second industry wide among nameplates in vehicle appeal and the Range Rover Evoque is most appealing in the Entry Premium Crossover SUV segment.

For the second year in a row, Jaguar ranks second out of 34 brands measured in the industry – with the Jaguar XJ scoring as second highest large premium car.

Land Rover placed sixth (in a tie) among 34 brands, and the new Range Rover Evoque receives the award for Most Appealing Entry Premium Crossover SUV.

Jaguar is the second most improved nameplate. The gain is primarily driven by the Jaguar XJ with 901 points – one of only

three models in the industry to score above 900.

The Jaguar brand was also the most improved, and tied for second highest in the industry, in the J.D. Power and Associates 2012 Initial Quality Study.

Land Rover placed sixth overall in the industry in a tie, showing that its lineup of luxury SUVs is well regarded by its customers. Leading the Land Rover lineup is the new Range Rover Evoque, which in its fi rst year in the survey scored higher than all other Entry Premium Crossover SUVs. According to the survey, customers of the award-receiving Range Rover Evoque most appreciate its design and fuel economy, compared to its segment.

The 2012 APEAL study is based on responses gathered between February 2012 and May 2012 from more than 74,000 purchasers and lessees of new 2012 model-year cars and trucks who were surveyed after the fi rst 90 days of ownership.

Range Rover Evoque is Most Appealing inthe Entry Premium Crossover SUV segment

METROLAND MEDIAWHEELSTALK.COM

For the eighth year in a row, Porsche has successfully maintained its top billing in terms of popularity.

The sports car maker occupies the

pole position as the car brand with the maximum appeal in the United States.

These were the fi ndings of the latest “Automotive, Performance, Execution and Layout Study (APEAL)” conducted by the opinion research centre J.D. Power and Associates.

In addition to the Porsche brand fi nishing in fi rst place, customers also voted the Porsche 911 as best vehicle in the Premium Sporty segment.

The sporty SUV, the Cayenne, likewise won fi rst place (segment: Midsize Premium Crossover SUV).

Both models were given the J.D. Power Awards.

Grades from 10 different categories are integrated into the overall score including design, comfort, dynamic performance and suitability for everyday driving.

Other collector cars owned by the Salsmans include a 1964 Chrysler Imperial sedan, a 1973 Chevrolet Monte Carlo and a 1993 Corvette convertible. All are white.

“I love old cars and I’m the number one cleaner and detailer,”Adele Salsman says.

The couple’s favorite – the 1958 Chevrolet Impala – has now been completely restored after they drove it for years. “Invest in yourself ” is the couple’s mantra and they are having fun with their Chevrolet classics.

Toyota announced that in June its worldwide cumulative vehicle production surpassed 200 million units.

This milestone took 76 years and 11 months to reach, and began with production of the Model G1 truck in August 1935 at Toyoda Automatic Loom Works Ltd.’s Automotive Department, which was spun off and later became TMC.

As of the end of June,

cumulative production in Japan reached 145.21 million vehicles while overseas production reached 55.12 million vehicles.

Cumulative vehicle production since 1992 at Toyota’s manufacturing facilities in Europe, including facilities in the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, France, Portugal, Russia and Turkey, reached 7.44 million units at the end of 2011.

The most-produced model among Toyota-brand vehicles is the Corolla.

Honda Canada has unveiled HondaLink, a new in-vehicle connectivity system that will debut this fall on the all-new, ninth-generation 2013 Honda Accord.

Featuring the fi rst automotive OEM application of Aha by Harman, HondaLink will provide a personalized experience connecting drivers to thousands of cloud-based news, information and entertainment feeds from around the world, using an intuitive, audio-system based interface.

Honda’s intuitive new HondaLink smartphone application allows owners to preset content on their phone.

Once in the car, consumers can enjoy personalized content accessible via voice recognition, steering wheel mounted controls and in-dash audio system controls.

With a tethered smartphone serving as a conduit to a

wealth of cloud-based media, HondaLink creates a unique, connected driving experience.

Through the Aha service, for example, HondaLink users can listen to Facebook and Twitter audio newsfeeds, podcasts from NPR, location-based personalized restaurant listings from Yelp!, and access internet music services such as Slacker.

The service is free and instantly accessible from the cloud.

Aha delivers a user-friendly experience requiring infrequent smartphone software updates, with in-vehicle content and channel access updating simply and automatically throughout the vehicle life.

And content available from HondaLink will grow as the system continues to expand its services for Honda owners.

HondaLink will also incorporate voice-to-text SMS text services with pre-programmed responses, which Honda introduced on the 2012 CR-V.

The all-new version of Kia’s global best-selling model, the Forte compact sedan (also known as Cerato in some countries), is scheduled to go on sale during the fi rst quarter of 2013 at Kia dealerships in many overseas markets.

It will debut in September at the Paris Motor Show.

Longer, lower and wider than the current car, with an extended wheelbase, the next generation Forte will be manufactured with an all-new bodyshell structure.

Featuring futuristic and

dynamic styling, the all-new Forte features a sleeker profi le, LED front and rear lamps and a chrome-fi nished beltline.

All-new Forte, to be called ‘K3’ in Kia’s home market of South Korea, will also boast improved quality, upgraded equipment, a more spacious cabin and a revised engine line-up that delivers class-leading fuel economy.

After going on sale in Korea later this year, the all-new Forte sedan will appear at Kia dealerships in many overseas markets during the fi rst quarter of 2013.
