EDITOR’S NOTE

Hello, permanent market oodies, get your shopping bags ready — Victoria is announcing the arrival of a new, permanent, indoor, downtown public market, coming to a historic location near you in spring of 2013.

The Victoria Downtown DANIELLE Public Market Society signed a POPE contract with Townline Group news@ this week to move what resimondaymag.com dents now know as the Victoria Downtown Public Market, held weekly in the summer months in Market Square, to the rehabilitated Hudson building on Douglas.

The move will take the market from its temporary outdoor location to an 18,000 square-foot indoor spot that will see up to 12 permanent vendors and 15 or more temporary vendors, thanks, in part, to almost $80,000 in grants from VanCity foundations and working negotiations with the Townline Group.

“I couldn’t be more excited about this,” says Philippe Lucas, chair of the VDPMS board, who spearheaded the efforts to secure the Hudson location. “This will become a new iconic structure for the downtown core, and this is really an option to revive its energy as we finally start a real, permanent market again.”

Townline and the society agreed to a five-year contract and working plan for the space, which would see the market go from weekly to daily, pending the society’s ability to secure enough interested and diversified vendors within a six-month period. The group is still considering vendor costs — which could clock in at around $30-per-square-foot, per year — and restrictions to keep the market affordable for the original Market Square crowd. One option includes maintaining an additional weekend market with cheaper temporary tables in the carriage way of the Hudson.

The market is being loosely modeled after a similar development in the San Francisco Ferry Building.

Victoria’s version will maintain its local mandate, says Lucas, and will still include much of what Victorians have seen in the previous market, including bakers, butchers, green grocers, fishers and more.

The VDPMS will be hosting a meeting with all potential vendors on Thursday, July 26. For details on location and time, contact philippe@victoriapublicmarket.com, or 250-884-8552.

WELCOME TO YOUR JOB, AGAIN Interesting news this week that the City of Victoria has approved a three-year contract extension for city manager Gail Stephens, two years before her term would come to a close.

Stephens has held her post with the city since July 2009, after returning to Victoria from Calgary. While her term was to last until 2014, her contract, which will remain unchanged, was extended this past week by city council, sealing her in until 2017. The city is staying tight-lipped on why the early move, however.

“I think council recognizes the benefits of having that stability at the top in a time when that really counts to a city, and she has done some fan-

tastic work,” says Mayor Dean Fortin. “The position of city manager does offer unique challenges ... but we’re really getting great value with Gail.”

When pressed about the timing of the preemptive extension, Fortin replied “What I can say, is that we had an opportunity to extend Gail’s contract for the extra time, and council jumped on that option.”

Stephens became the first woman city manager in Canada when she was named the Chief Administrative Officer for the City of Winnipeg.

She’s also been named one of Canada’s Top 100 Most Powerful Women three times, along with a slew of other honours. Value, indeed.

NO ROOM AT BOARDING SCHOOL Skateboarding isn’t so free-wheeling anymore.

As VicPD continues to search for the suspect in last week’s errant skateboard collision, questions are being asked about how to make Victoria streets safer for pedestrians. The accident caused a 57-yearold woman to suffer serious facial injuries and her 57-year-old husband to dislocate his shoulder.

“We are still looking to identify that person for possible criminal charges,” says VicPD spokesperson Michael Russell. “We are trying to draw that link to see if we can find intent or some other circumstance around it, that will push the level from a municipal ticket to a criminal offence.”

A Red Zone has been established for years in downtown Victoria to keep skateboards away from pedestrians and busy downtown traffic. The zone, which runs from Herald to North Park and Vancouver to Southgate Superior, bans all skateboarding on roads and sidewalks. If a person is found skating in the area, they face a minimum of $60 in fines and the confiscation and impounding of their board. Outside of this zone, Bay to Cook, the police can still fine skaters, but they cannot confiscate their boards.

he federal government has decided to appeal a British Columbia Supreme Court ruling that struck down Canada’s ban on assisted suicide.

The reason? Justice Minister Rob Nicholson argues, “The laws surrounding euthanasia and assisted suicide exist to protect all Canadians, including those who are most vulnerable, such as people who are sick or elderly or people with disabilities.”

To be blunt. Bullshit!

GRANT The Supreme Court argument has never contained MCKENZIE a plan to open a chain of Stairway to Heaven or Straight to Hell assisted-suicide clinics on every street corner editor@ where you could drop off your elderly parents when they mondaymag.com became too much of a burden.

The argument has always been about quality and enjoyment of life. And if there is one thing that we are so fortunate to enjoy as Canadians, it is an incredible quality of life.

Free of tyranny, we can choose to live our lives as we see fit. Thanks to some enlightened laws, we are not chained to an abusive spouse, our children are welcomed into the world regardless of gender, we can rise to any station regardless of our birth, we can choose our religion and change it at will, we can chase dreams and change jobs, screw up and find help getting back on our feet.

But the one thing we’re not allowed to do is hold up a hand and ask to humanely end our own life when pain and disease has robbed us of all that makes living worthwhile.

Instead, we’re told that it’s better to suffer. Why? The short answer is cowardice.

Our politicians don’t want to make a difficult decision just in case God really exists and He takes that wee bit in the Bible about suicide seriously.

Sure, politicians will argue until they’re bluer in the face that they haven’t been brainwashed by childhoods spent in the heaving bosom of organized religion and thus fear any karmic poke in the eye — but they’re bullshitting you. And, yes, they are very good at BS. They can make it look like an ice-cream sundae — until you actually take a bite.

When I hire someone, I want them to be smarter than myself in a specific area. I hire a plumber because he knows about pipes and gravity and where stuff goes when I flush. I hire a lawyer because she has studied the law and knows how to wield that knowledge with authority.

When the Supreme Court says a law is unconstitutional to Canadians, our elected government should listen rather than look for an excuse to cover its collective ears and chant “la, la, la, I can’t hear you.”

Dying with dignity is not the same as suicide, and it’s about time our government recognized the difference. M

NEWS

Frisbee win for Victoria xciting news in the world of Ultimate Frisbee — turns out, our home-town players are the international best.

The Nomads, a Victoria-based group, represented Canada in the Ultimate Frisbee Championships in Sakai Japan, July 7 to 14, and won.

Established 21 years ago through a club at UVic, the Nomads were the defending national champions with four Canadian titles under their belts. Now, the team’s first international win is the ultimate success, says team member Chris Carmack.

“I’m absolutely ecstatic. It feels phenomenal,” says Carmack, 39, who started his Ulitmate career 15 years ago while studying geography at UVic. “This is a sport that everyone can play, which is what makes it so fun, but this [win] is about as good as it gets.”

For more than two decades, the Nomads have kept the team together despite job changes, moves and births.

Fans of the sport can stay tuned as Victoria is set to host the 2012 Canadian Ultimate Championships at the UVic and Lansdowne fields from Aug. 16 to 19, which will see more than 1,500 players from dozens of teams from across Canada compete. M — Danielle Pope

City pension scare to come the period of the tax.

Kieran claims that the measure of the tax's success should be in whether we saw a drop in actual fuel sales, but that's just plain silly.

To start with, B.C.'s population has grown during the tax period, so the only valid comparison to make is per-capita as the report does, and to compare B.C. to a baseline as the report also does. Kieran ends

his piece by criticizing the tax for "taking hard-earned cash out of the pockets of fueldependant, road-weary consumers." What?

If we give even a whit about those among us under 30, not to mention their children, it’s well past the time we stopped looking at our addiction to driving around in individual gas powered vehicles as some kind of right.

KIERAN REPORT

Time for Adrian Dix’s free ride to end DP leader Adrian Dix — considered by just about every political observer west of the Rockies to be the premier-in-waitBRIAN ing — has been getKIERAN ting a free ride and it bkieran@ has to stop. mondaymag.com There is a saying in politics: when a tree is falling, get out of the way. In keeping with this adage, Dix has been tucked in the wings while the polls, the pundits and the public have been ravaging the Liberals and Premier Christy Clark.

I have been as guilty as most. Premier Clark’s stunning inability to re-make the Liberals in the post-Campbell era has been too compelling. There comes a point in the political cycle when a government has lingered beyond its best-before date.

Chronicling the decay of the Liberals has been a full-time job.

This pre-occupation has permitted Dix to bask in the glow of popularity by default. Dix — the former shamed and fired fixer for Premier Glen Clark — the

N

dour hardliner, the last man standing after a bloody internal leadership coup, is now widely held to be the best political leader on the landscape. Current polling by Ipsos Reid has him 20 percentage points ahead of Clark. He is declared “the best leader not just to handle health care and education, but also the economy and crime.”

Dix is so assured of victory he is flipping us the bird when we have the temerity to ask him what the ‘Party of No’ will do when it comes to power. Dix says he does not intend to release a platform until early next year, after the current desperate government has tabled its final pre-election budget.

To ask us to believe that Dix and his NDP economic ideologues need to see a pre-election free enterprise budget fueled by pixie dust before they can shape a socialist policy platform is ludicrous.

Dix says he needs to know how much money is in the treasury before committing to new spending. “If we cannot afford to make platform commitments, then we’re not going to make them, so the fiscal plan is an important part of the platform.”

As Colonel Potter would say: That’s horse hockey.

Every year, the government releases

Some of them are really good; if they show a lot of talent or it’s unusual.

a three-year fiscal plan with the spring budget. That plan is a reasonably accurate forecast of the revenue and expenditure blend that will constitute the fiscal framework within which policy options can be designed and implemented.

Dix and his social engineers know full well what they have planned for us.

Dix simply does not want to show his hand. Why change the focus of the public debate from the death of the Liberals to the potentially dark aftermath?

Instead, we get policy pap: “NDP economic priorities will be investing in advanced skills training, providing excellent health care, excellent education, managing the land base, and getting the most from resources.”

Also, I don’t believe we have spent enough time examining Dix’s character.

This is the same Dix who told the media that faking a premier’s office memo was not unethical. “I don’t think that any of those mistakes involved wrongdoing, they weren’t ethical mistakes,” he said after being exposed.

Now, I’m constantly told that the Adrian Dix of 1999 is not the Adrian Dix of 2012. He’s matured, I’m assured. If that’s the case let’s start putting him to the test while there’s still time before his coronation next May. M

CITY WATCHDOG

MICHELE APLIN, Victoria

Police report leaves no one unscathed few weeks back, Victoria, Esquimalt and the VicPD were finally treated to an outside analysis of the protracted comedy of errors that has formed their relationship in recent years.

While the report by consultant Jean Greatbatch & Assoc., ultimately recommends keeping the amalgamated force, it also SIMON reveals a long history of deceit, xenophobia NATTRASS and gleeful incompetence on all sides of the snattrass@ ongoing debate over the 2003 amalgamamondaymag.com tion of the cities’ police forces.

The report’s criticism starts at day one, noting that the initial amalgamation process neglected to allow for any reviews of service delivery, budgeting or the general satisfaction of anyone involved in the contract. These provisions would have proven useful in 2004 when then-chief Paul Battershill eliminated the Vic West community policing division — an integral part of the initial agreement — and relocated several Esquimalt officers to the downtown beat.

Aiming to address the growing conflict, a 2010 review of the amalgamated force recommended a number of changes to allow

A

Esquimalt greater control over its police. The ability to contract with forces other than VicPD, the ability to establish an independent oversight body accountable to Esquimalt council, and an attempt to fill the void of budget control all would have provided Esquimalt with some much needed breathing room.

Unfortunately, true to form, an unnamed group of Victoria senior staff and police board members took it upon themselves to challenge not only the results of the 2010 review, but the authority of the province’s director of police services to even get involved.

The criticism levelled at VicPD in Greatbatch’s report is relentless. The report describes failed attempts by Esquimalt council to simply receive the same information given to the City of Victoria; near universal confusion over the responsiblity and proper authority of almost every part of VicPD governance; a dearth of standard governance policies that would help avoid conflict; and neglect of duty by the police board itself.

The list of offences this report offers is too long to even begin to complete here, and no one has walked away from this process looking good, but there is a silver lining. The report’s salient point is that the amalgamation was never given a chance to succeed.

Greatbatch makes 43 recommendations on how to set things right, and taxpayers can only hope that VicPD is currently discussing just how fast it can implement every single one. M

CAROLLYNE YARDLEY FINDS HER NICHE IN FUR

Artist Carollyne Yardley works on her latest creation.

he squirrel is nature’s supreme gatherer — amassing nuts, berries and seeds, then hiding them away for retrieval at a later date.

Local artist Carollyne Yardley is much the same, except she collects unique vintage clothing, luxurious costume jewelry, handmade hats and ornate picture frames, storing them away in her tickle trunk as inspiration for her next painting.

“I’ve been a vintage shopper and collector for 25 years and so I have this haul of really cool, neat stuff that I actually wear as well,” says Yardley, who’s had a fascination with costuming and design from a very young age.

draws in shapes and loose detail with a white pencil crayon.

“I really sculpt the painting in the black and white layer.

That’s where all the detail is formed,” says Yardley. The grisaille layer is about half of the work of the entire painting.

She uses water-based oil paint for the grisaille layer and then linseed-based oil paint for the top layers. She also uses a food-grade, soy-based brush cleaner that acts as a thinning agent (made at Art World).

“When I first saw her work I could tell there was a lot of potential there,” says Becker, an accomplished painter, musician and art writer who lives part time in both New York City and Victoria.

“I could tell she had some questions about the history of painting and how certain things are accomplished. I thought the monochromatic underpainting would improve what she was trying to do. I was kly stunned at how quickly d she picked it up and applied it.”

The first painting Yardley used the grisaille technique for is Green Bun Squirrel (2011), a portrait of a fabulously dressed squirrel with an overflowing mane p of green hair tied up in a bun. he The results of the new technique and nding. medium are astounding.

Her collection is often what stimulates her creativity to paint her brand hile her of pop surrealism. And while portraits feature whimsical wideeyed subjects dressed to the nines — a fortune teller with htarot cards, a nosey neighnbour peering through binoculars, a geisha mysteri-ously hiding her face with a fan, and a socialite clad in a refined retro suit and pearls ready for outerspace — they aren’t quite what one would expect.

The wide-eyed subject isn’t an alluring woman or a magnificent man — it’s always a squirrel.

“I started teaching myself to paint by ‘remastering’ the masters,” says Yardley. “The first onee was by Raphael called Thee usWomen with the Veil. My husuirband suggested I paint a squirrel on her lap.” rrel to That was the first squirrel grace one of her paintings.

The first painting of a human body with a squirrel head is An Officer trait of her husand a GentleSquirrel, a portrait m. band in his military uniform.

Yardley has painted threee full series of squirrels; Secret Squirrels (Acrylic on canvas inspired by the HannaBarbera cartoon) features Saint Squirrels and GentleSquirrels, as well as Elvis, Mermaid and Fortune Teller Squirrels.

The next series was Sophisticated Squirrels (2011, oil on board), featuring Green Bun, Steampunk and Space Hat Squirrels.

Her latest series is Sirius Squirrels (2012, oil on board); including Morning Glory (squirrel on a huge chicken), The Dovekeeper (Squirrel in a bird’s nest) and Cupid and Psyche (a squirrel riding a butterfly).

“I actually buy the frames first and then I go down and have them cut something to fit. I always have an idea before I do a piece who’s going in here,” she says as she points to the beautiful bronze frame of her newest Captain Americainspired piece, The Avenger. “I want the piece to be all connected.”

Although her inspirations range from pop culture and [8]

fairy tales to dreams and just sitting in the yard watching the squirrels, a lot of her inspiration comes from photoshoots styled with pieces from her vintage collection.

She’ll pull a variety of dresses, hats and accessories and dress up herself and other models to find the perfect look for her portraits, which feature a human body with a squirrel head.

“I like that squirrels are a bit mysterious, but very serious about their work, collecting, burying and eating nuts.

The more I watch their behaviour, the more I identify with their traits,” says Yardley, who has anywhere between three and ten squirrels living in the yard of her Rockland home throughout the year.

“They are a bit scrappy and will gamble a precarious jump, or stare danger in the face without showing fear.

All of those qualities are a valuable if you are in business for yourself, yourse even more so if your business is the vvisual arts.”

After 14 years y as co-owner and creative di director of a web development ccompany (Star Global), her busi business partner decided he wanted out of the business and Yardle Yardley was left to make a new career choice. ““The prospects of looking for a job after having my own company for the las 14 years was actuallast ly more terrifying to me th than starting a new comp pany,” says Yardley, “So I thought about what I w wanted to do 20 years ag ago.

She started painting in the evenings after work in 2008 and sh was “open for busiby 2010 she ness.” sh “I put my shingle out, got business cards and geared a all my website, facebook and everything toward towards art,” she says.

Originally, Yardley was painting acrylic on canvas. It wasn’t until she met Noah Becker, founder and editorin-chief of Whitehot Magazine, that she made the switch to her current medium, oil on board, with his advice.

“We met for lunch and he took one look at my Saint Squirrel … and told me I need to be oil on board and that I should do a grisaille layer first,” says Yardley.

A grisaille layer is a monochromatic underlayer where the artist would paint the whole work in black and white, before adding any colour. The technique makes it easier for the painter to match colour values later on.

“I’ve found that I’m a bit of an aggressive painter and that I’m a little bit hard with my brushes, and canvas is malleable, so the canvas moves while I paint and the board pushes back,” she says.

She sands down the board (she sources from Castle Building Centre) before applying black gesso to the surface, then repeats to get as smooth a surface as possible. Then she

The Destructive Artist is a hand-drawn comic that explores the introspective thoughts and experiential adventures of its sometimes-humble narrator: local artist Trevor Burnett, a traditional artist trying to make sense and cope with all things related to the 21st century and its digital age.

Burnett will be doing ad-lib narration from the new issue.

The “exaggeratedly fancy event” will feature cold-brewed tea (in champagne flutes) and Moonstruck Cheese pairings, and fancy dress is encouraged. Doors are locked after 6pm (buzzer entry off Courtney). Tickets are $5 and include a copy of the first issue. M

ictoria folk-pop singer-songwriter Steph MacPherson went all out with her debut album Bells & Whistles, released in April on Cordova Bay Records.

On top of the bells and whistles, it has plenty of hand-claps, heartbreak and honesty.

Her skill as a songwriter is evident in the supercatchy sing-along “Summer Salute,” and the gorgeous “The Distance,” in which MacPherson is stripped down, both emotionally and musically, accompanied by nothing but her electric guitar. “It’s a really personal song …

I feel like the people I get involved with sort of mentally sign a disclaimer,” she says.

The other stripped down track, “Open Book”, features MacPherson on the upright piano. The song was written while in the studio.

“We recorded them both without a click track, live off the floor and just added a few over-dubbs and some atmospheric stuff later on. It was really cool to get a raw take or two on the album,” says MacPherson.

She came to Cordova Bay with most of the songs for the album in hand. She recorded them with Jason Cook at Electric City Studios in Victoria.

“I’ve heard horror stories about singing with labels and then getting pushed aside or having bad communication and none of that has been an issue … I’m never in the dark. It’s been great so far.”

MacPherson is looking forward to a live show with a band featuring Jason Cook, Ryan Clayton, Rick May and Christian Down.

“It feels so much more dynamic to have a full band up there with me,” she says.

Catch Steph MacPherson, Thurs., July 19 at 10pm at Upstairs Cabaret (15 Bastion Square) with Headwater and Sam Weber. Tickets are $8 in advance at Lyle’s Place, Ditch Records and online at tinyurl.com/7oues3k.

Tickets will be $10 at the door.

owntown won’t be left out of the fun this year as the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria celebrates its 25th anniversary. For the last 24 years, the gallery has brought a mix of new and noteworthy artists to the streets of Fairfield for its annual TD Art Gallery Paint-In. This year, however, the gallery is expanding its reach to become a presence in the downtown core with five days of events in Centennial Square leading up to the main street event on Saturday, July 21.

Paint-In the Square is the gallery’s way of bringing the bounty of art to the downtown community, says Mary Ellen Threadkell, assistant director. The goal of the Centennial Square events is to draw in people that otherwise would not have an opportunity to see the Paint-In or learn about the AGGV. “There are lots of office workers, residents and visitors to Victoria that don’t make it to the [Fairfield] event,” says Threadkell.

This year, for the first time, children will be joining adults in selling their art. One to two pieces of art from each child, aged 6 to 12, will be displayed in Centennial Square with prints and cards available for purchase. Victoria artist Carey Newman started the project after buying artwork from a young girl at the Paint-In last year. The girl reminded Newman of his early beginnings in art and got him thinking about the lack of a children’s presence in the event.

Saturday, July 21 11 - 4:30PM 157 Artists

The gallery has been a communityfocused organization since its beginnings in 1951.

All donations collected in yellow buckets throughout Paint-In events go towards educational programing and supporting artists in the community to gain exposure for their work. One initiative, Gallery in the Schools, has helped over 10,000 elementary students gain access to art education, says Threadkell.

“There are lots of fun things for kids to do, but not necessarily any kids’ art,” says Newman.

“The idea is to stop the idea that art is only a hobby,” he adds. “A lot of children find enjoyment in art, but a lot of people tend to stifle that.”

The regular Paint-In will be held on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Moss Street between Fort and Dallas.

During the event, the street will be lined with over 150 local artists, and the AGGV will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. with admission by donation. There will be a food and beverage garden located in the gallery parking lot from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Latin dance by performance group KUMBIA from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Tips for enjoying the TD Art Gallery Paint-In 1. Make it a family event Centennial Square will be hosting family-friendly events from July 16 to July 20, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Each afternoon the gallery will host arts and crafts for children, families and anyone else who is artistically inclined.

2. Bring the cash; leave the plastic Between the Moss Street Market, a weekly farmers market, and the many artists displaying their creations, you will want to have some cash at hand. Whether you are buying a beautiful piece of art for the living room or snacking on some yummy mini-donuts, cash is the currency of the Paint-In.

3. Keep hydrated and remain eco-friendly The Paint-In involves lots of walking, making it a great way to incorporate your weekend exercise into a social event. However, be sure to bring a reusable water bottle to ensure you don’t get too hot and help reduce the amount of waste creation during the event.

4. Bring a camera

With approximately 30-35,000 people enjoying the walk from Fort and Moss to Dallas Road, being able to take a shot or two of the interesting people and creations you find along the way can be a fun way of capturing this special summer event.

5. Remember a smile and open mind go a long way Art Gallery of Greater Victoria shows its true colours at the annual visual art festival.

Each year both the participants and the patrons are in good spirits. Do your part to add to the positive and friendly environment by remembering to bring a positive attitude and a mind that is ready to see artists’ hard work materialized in creative ways.

Don’t worry, we’ve pre-ordered sunshine for this year’s event, but 2011’s showers didn’t wash away the smiles or enthusiasm of our participating artists and visitors to the event.

hey say Victoria is a little bit of England, but it would be more accurate to reference all of Britain. Among the many cultural roots of the Island, there are quite a few Scottish ones. How can we forget the impact on this area of John Tod, Matthew Baillie Begbie, William Fraser Tolmie, and the late, great Jack Webster.

Not that we ignore these roots entirely. Last weekend saw the inaugural Pacific Tattoo with performers including the Canadian Scottish Regiment Pipes, and this week Victorians celebrate Celtfest. We also have Burns Day in January when non-Scots whine

IF HAGGIS AND SCOTTISH PIES ARE ON YOUR MIND, ALL IS NOT LOST!

about how they can’t eat haggis as they stuff supermarket sushi from a plastic container down their gob?

Traditional Scottish food is solid comfort food, and given our climate you would think there would be lots of it here. I still mourn Holyrood House and their sumptuous meat pies. There was nothing better on a cold night than skirlie mash and a wee heavy ale.

The Bard and Banker is great for a drink and a meal, but the menu is more global than highland. You’d have better luck hunting haggis than finding a bowl of cullen skink in this town.

Fortunately, for those of us who want a bridie, or a plateful of haggis, neeps and tatties once in awhile, all is not lost.

What's hot on local shelves By Pam Grant

Dinnae Call it Scotch, Lass: it's Whisky! here’s not much that the English and the Scottish agree on, but the name of that which is distilled from malted barley is not an issue. Victoria’s Bard and Banker boasts an impressive list of whisky, a drink that I didn’t at first because I drank the wrong one.

Whisky is produced in five major regions in Scotland (Highlands, Lowlands, Speyside, Cambeltown and Islay) and has two broad categories. Single malt (not to be confused with single grain, which refers to the distillery) and blended — the result of malted or grain whiskies or a combination thereof. Single malt whiskies are the product of water and malted barley from a single

distillery — for you oenophiles and would-be sommeliers, think “varietal”. Products are distinctive thanks to unique production methods, such as the Macallan’s use of sherry — and more recently — bourbon casks. My favourite, Talisker, is in this category, heavily laced with smoky peat. Blended whiskies, though lower in price and with a wider range in quality, should by no means be dismissed.

This category includes such whiskies as Chivas Regal, Johnnie Walker, Dewar’s and the one that bears my surname Grant's —no relation sadly.

When you visit the Bard and Banker, try to get a seat on the semi-secret patio upstairs and take a liquid tour through Scotland’s whisky regions, or try the Glenmorangie Tasting Flight — 1/2 oz of each of Glenmorangie 10, Glenmorangie (Lasanta) Glenmorangie (Nectar D’or) and Glenmorangie (Quinta Ruban) for $19.99, or push the boat out and have the Macallan Tasting Flight — 1/2 oz tasters of Macallan 12, 18 and 21-year-old varieties $45.99.

here isn’t anything funny about cancer, but the gang at Monday hear that laughter is good medicine so we’ve decided to host an evening of comedy, music and musical comedy to raise money for pediatric cancer research.

Violinist-extremist Kytami will be shredding the strings with her brand of electronic fiddle fusion. And cabaret folk duo Auto Jansz and Andrea June will serenade the crowd.

All proceeds will go to support Slavin’s fundraising efforts for the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock.

Slavin has covered the event for the Saanich News for two years and was impassioned to ride after watching the students at a local high school take ownership of their school’s contribution to the fundraising effort.

“I never saw that in my experience of high school,” says Slavin. “I never saw kids get behind something like Tour de Rock, and it’s so inspiring.”

Slavin needs to raise a minimum of $5,000 to do the 1,000-km ride from the north tip of Vancouver Island to Victoria, and he’s only $1,000 shy of that mark. But his personal goal is to raise $15,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society.

“I figured $5,000 is easily shatterable, and I thought $15,000 sounded like a good number. If I can beat it, even Kyle Slavin is one of two media riders on this better.” M year's Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock.

PERFECTLY POTABLE

Multiculural mashup in Fathers & Sons THE PREHISTORICAL GETS HYSTERICAL IN ICE AGE: CONTINENTAL DRIFT

By Robert Moyes arts@mondaymag.com

TIES THAT BLIND

THE PREHISTORICAL GOES HYSTERICAL

ve never been a huge fan of Vancouver director Carl Bessai (Emile), but he has pulled off an impressive coup with Fathers & Sons. With a mix of drama and comedy, he explores several different middle-aged men and their relationship with their fathers. This is not only a multicultural mash-up, but the script itself allows for lots of input and improvisation from the actors. The result is fresh, funny, and occasionally raw – and good enough to have won the Vancouver Film Critics Circle’s best B.C. film award.

There are four separate subplots, beginning with a Jewish fellow who is at the funeral of his mother — where grief becomes horror when he discovers that this great vulgar bear of a man who shows up unexpectedly is the father he never knew. Four very different brothers have a reunion to scatter their dead dad’s ashes and hear the details of his will. A conservative South Asian accountant is bitterly resentful of his flamboyantly gay father, a Bollywood choreographer. And finally there is a disconnect between an Afro-Canadian businessman who dreams big and his mellow father, a talented jazz musician who is content just to teach piano to kids and never wanted to court the success that could have been his.

These storylines unspool in engaging, often unexpected ways that can play against ethnic stereotype (for example, the South Asian man is introducing his white fiancée, which would normally be taboo to an older generation but the father sees this as a great opportunity to bring his dancers to a party). Some of the scenes — especially the ones with the quartet of squabbling brothers — have real bite, while the Jewish father-and-son relationship is an edgy combination of slapstick comedy and violence. More interested in difference than universality, Fathers does an impressive job of outlining various realities of what it means to be a father or a son. M

he Ice Age animated series started strongly, then gradually fell victim to weak plotting. With their fourth outing, Continental Drift, they’re back on top and doing what they do best: laying on the buddy banter while having crazy adventures.

The story begins as that acorn-chasing squirrel precipitates a catastrophic sequence of tectonic shifts that separates Manny the wooly mammoth from his wife and teenage daughter. Suddenly adrift on a small chunk of iceberg with buddies Diego the sabretooth tiger and Sid the sloth, the three cling to the faint hope that they can reconnect with all the other animals at a distant land bridge. The subsequent plot is largely driven by ongoing battles with pirates, who are a zoo’s worth of motley brigands led by the sinister Captain Gutt (Peter Dinklage).

The animation is marvelously stylized, complete with some great visual jokes. The repartee amongst the principals is sharply written, and the none-too-subtle moral about the importance of family and friends comes off as sweet rather than sugary. The ongoing subplot involving that prehistoric squirrel remains inventive and feverishly funny. Providing a lot of the comic relief is a new character, Sid’s grandmother (voiced by the delightful Wanda Sykes), an obstreperous and wacky crone who’s as detached from reality as Mr. Magoo. And a bonus comes in the form of the Simpson’s cartoon that precedes the feature: baby Maggie is dropped off at the Ayn Rand Daycare Center and has some darkly hilarious adventures before triumphing in the end.

Fine stuff! M

Downshifting from icebergs to ice cubes, let’s set sail on the good ship Golden Cadillac, that classic ’70s cocktail. Mix one ounce each of Galliano liqueur and cream, plus two ounces of white crème de cacao, and shake over ice prior to serving in a fancy glass. If you want to get decadent, add a half-cup of vanilla ice cream in place of the cream and ice, then blend before serving. Note: these can be addictive!

especially in the past. The study of archaeology, anthropology, history or even mundane research into past records will go surprisingly easy and swiftly and generate wonderful results. “Eureka!”

Furthermore, you won’t mind taking a backseat because this month you feel happy in the shadows. Relations with authority figures are excellent. (Even romantic.) And you’re willing to work hard to earn your money. This is a time of preparation before you step out onto the stage. (“Are you ready for your closeup, Miss Garbo?”)

LIBRA SEPT 23-OCT 22 This week ushers in a popular time that will last about six weeks. Suddenly, your dance card is full! Everyone is demanding to see you. Of course, it’s a two-way street.

You’ll love schmoozing and discussing your hopes and dreams for the future. Listen to the feedback from others because it could be uncannily useful. Travel for pleasure definitely appeals. And thankfully, with fiery Mars in your sign, you’ve got the energy to do it all! Nevertheless, in quiet moments between dazzling conversations, ponder your future goals. Since 2010, you’ve been creating the “new you.”

(Which, hopefully, will still fit into your clothes.)

SCORPIO OCT 23-NOV 21 Now the Sun is high in your chart acting like a spotlight. Enjoy this limelight because it flatters you. This is why others are approaching you to take on extra responsibilities or perform in some way. Just say yes because you will easily do it. Retrograde Mercury might attract previous bosses and authority figures from your past. You might be involved with a parent more than usual. All of this brouhaha will surely provoke you to examine your life as a whole. Are you going in the direction you want to go? Ask yourself where you want to be in five years.

The next question is, what do you have to do now to start to go in that direction?

SAGITTARIUS NOV 22-DEC 21 It’s curious, but for the next six weeks or so, the heavens will virtually activate everything your heart desires. It’s as if a microchip is installed in your brain making you run around singing, “I wanna be me!” Travel opportunities will abound.

Similarly, you will encounter opportunities to seek adventure and to learn new things through courses, reading, or meeting brainiacs or experts or just truly fascinating people from different backgrounds. You can also explore fabulous opportuni-

ties in publishing, the media, medicine and the law. This is all great stuff! These are your people. It’s where you live. (Keep a bag packed at the door.

Send me a postcard.)

CAPRICORN DEC 22-JAN 19 Your ambition is totally driven now. And this is a good thing because you’re looking at a year of fabulous opportunities to improve your job, get a better job, find a better boss or just enjoy what you do. Work-related travel is also likely. And for the next few weeks, work-related romance could blossom. It’s funny how one supports the other. Your ambition fires your attitude and activities, which in turn allows you to take advantage of the blessings coming your way at work. Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, you’re entering an intense six weeks ahead. You’ll be passionately intense about shared property, taxes, debt, inheritances and (definitely) sex. Intense.

Like, really intense.

AQUARIUS JAN 20-FEB 18 For the next month, the Sun is going to be directly opposite your sign, which means it is as far away from you as it can never get.

Meanwhile, the Sun is your source of energy. Connect the dots. You’re going to need more sleep. Factoid.

Acknowledge this need and respect it. Don’t worry, it won’t curtail too much partying because party mode is what you are into right now.

Many of you are also feeling highly creative and very in touch with your Muse. Travel if you can because Mars is urging you to explore more of the world in order to expand your knowledge and experience of life. Pretty heady stuff.

PISCES FEB 19-MARCH 20 For various reasons, according to the details of your life, you’re suddenly gung ho to get organized. You want colour-coded closets and new shelves for your shoes.

Your CDs are still alphabetized (and dusty) because you’re listening to mp3s.) But your goals are high! Not only do you want to be organized at home and at work, you want to become healthier!

You’re going to the gym, buying weights and signing up for spinning classes. And you’re becoming more diet conscious: fish, vegetables, fruit, water. The whole enchilada. (Actually, you’re cutting back on enchiladas.) Homedecorating projects appeal.

Disputes about shared property are still hovering. You’re pulling it all together.

CONTINUING ★★ ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER -(Odeon) In this departure from strict historic truth, the 16th President of the U.S. discovers that vampires are planning to take over the country and decides to kill them. All of them. This silly and heavyhanded gorefest is from the Russian director of Night Watch, himself a noted vampire specialist. ★★★½ THE AMAZING SPIDER– MAN -(Capitol/SilverCity/Westshore) Little-known actor Andrew Garfield suits up as everyone's favourite webslinger in what's certain to be one of the summer's monster hits.

Co-starring Emma Stone. ★★★ THE AVENGERS -(Caprice) A mob of Marvel-ous superheroes comes together to help prevent a global apocalypse, in a decent but uninspired orgy of one-liners and special effects. The galaxy of greatness includes Iron Man (Robert Downey), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), and Captain America (Chris Evans). ★★★½ THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL -(Uni 4) A diverse group of British seniors seek out an affordable retirement hotel in India, only to find it in shabby disarray. But despite the initial disappointment, India's exotic charms win them over.

This heartfelt comedy-drama has a great cast that includes Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson and Judi Dench. ★★★ BRAVE -(Capitol/SilverCity/ Uni 4/Westshore) Billy Connolly and Emma Thompson provide the voices for Pixar's animated tale that is set in ancient Scotland and tells of a headstrong young princess who must rely on her courage to undo a beastly curse. Decent entertainment, albeit occasionally a bit plodding. ★★★ ICE AGE: CONTINENTAL DRIFT -(Odeon/Uni 4/Westshore) After their continent is set adrift, Manny, Diego, and Sid have some crazy, rollicking, humour-filled adventures. This is very fine family entertainment. See review. ★★★ MADAGASCAR 3: EUROPE'S MOST WANTED -(Capitol/Caprice) Those mouthy NYC zoo escapees are up to their usual colourful antics in a wittily entertaining animation romp. ★★★ MAGIC MIKE -(Capitol/ SilverCity/Westshore) Channing Tatum stars as a male stripper who takes a protegé under his wing, then eventually has to rethink his lifestyle.

Directed by Steven Soderbergh.

MEN IN BLACK III -(Caprice) Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones reprise their roles as alien-bashing crime fighters in a third outing for this wacky sci-fi comedy series. And thanks to a time travel aspect, Josh Brolin has fun playing the younger version of Jones' character. ★★★½ MOONRISE KINGDOM -(Odeon) The ever-quirky Wes Anderson (Rushmore, The Fantastic Mr. Fox) is in fine form as he tells a tale about two very young lovers who run away, thus sparking an unusual search. The great cast includes Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Edward Norton, and Frances McDormand. ★★★ SAVAGES -(Odeon/SilverCity) Oliver Stone is in brutally fine form with this hyper-violent tale involving a pair of SoCal pot dealers who fall afoul of nasty Mexican gangsters and turn murderous in order to get back their kidnapped girlfriend.

SNOW WHITE & THE HUNTSMAN -(SilverCity/Caprice) Supposedly Charlize Theron steals the show as the evil queen, in an exotic retelling of the classic fairy tale. With Kristen Stewart of Twilight fame. ★★★ TAKE THIS WALTZ -(Capitol) The latest from actress-turneddirector Sarah Polley is a bittersweet portrait of a young marriage that is threatened when one of the partners is dangerously attracted to someone else. Starring Michelle Williams and Seth Rogen. ★★½ TED -(Odeon/SilverCity/ Westshore) Mark Wahlberg stars in a twisted — and sometimes laboured — comedy about a young man whose best friend is a foul-mouthed teddy bear that is a very bad influence on him. Written and directed by Seth MacFarlane, most famous for the TV satires Family Guy and American Dad!

★★★½ TO ROME WITH LOVE -(Odeon/Uni 4) Woody Allen's winning streak with glamorous European cities continues with his latest comedy, which takes a sly look at adultery, fame, and self-delusion. The great cast includes Penelope Cruz, Ellen Page, Judy Davis, Jesse Eisenberg and Alec Baldwin.

LEAVING THURS. ★★★½ PROMETHEUS - (SilverCity) ★★ ROCK OF AGES -(Caprice) JATT & JULIET -(Capitol) KATY PERRY: PART OF ME -(Odeon/SilverCity/Caprice)

TORNADO ALLEY -(4 pm, 8 pm) Take an incredible trip into the violent heart of tornadoes via never-before-seen footage collected by a fearless (crazy?) storm chaser.

BEING FLYNN -(Fri.-Sat., July 20-21: 7:10, 9:15) Robert De Niro stars in a drama about a young aspiring writer who must cope with addiction as well as trying to deal with the demands of his delusional father. ★★★ THE GIRLS IN THE BAND -(Sun.-Mon., July 22-23: 7:15, 9:00) Even those who aren't jazz lovers should enjoy this fascinating documentary about how sexism relegated women to the periphery of the jazz scene — and how that didn't stop some of them from making great contributions.

THE STORY OF FILM: AN ODYSSEY -(Tues., July 17: 7:00 only) Cinecenta concludes its own 15-hour odyssey with the final three segments of filmmaker and historian Mark Cousins' epic history of cinema artistry (which has a global moreso than a Hollywood perspective).
