I recently learned that Ted Carino had an aneurism before his car had hit the white jeep. Fortunately none others were killed. But – again it points for the need to have the merdians in place – his van would never then have crossed over to the other side. Such a pity and loss for the family, friends and for the fact he will never be able to enjoy his young little family.

The fiery crash by the propane tank on the Malahat back in 2000 – left the highway disabled for many hours. The only link availabe was by the Brentwood Bay ferry to Sydney and Victoria.
That was nine years ago. Many lives have been lost on this particular mountain road, which was once just a horse and buggy trail and, not much better yet. While the Liberal gov’t has improved the logical road should be connecting at Langford and travelling north on the backside of the mountain to take, in particular all the trucks. The malahat grade is steep, in the winter, ice and snow almost impossile but – the government has chosen to ignore what should be done. What Liberal MLA Brian Kerr, with his three year tenure, accomplished was a great deal with the meridians, etc. however, – the safety factor is the back of the mountain – not its face.
My friend, Ted Corino, is the latest victim of the mountain – which the Indians had long ago named the Powerful mountain. However, BC has no money. And, as for the railline – that has long been requested – at least to run south in the am and in the pm – travel north. But, bureacrats don’t even have that much knowledge or should I say common sense.
