It’s time to rock
Colwood to gauge taste for A-word
Rock the Shores Round 2 prepares to take region by storm, but not literally An expanded Rock the Shores takes to the fields of West Shore Parks and Recreation this weekend and organizers are gearing up for the music event of the summer. Featuring big-name bands over the course of two days, the festival is quickly becoming a staple of West Shore entertainment. From local and regional bands such as Mother Mother and Vince Vaccaro to headliners such as City and Colour, Awolnation and Weezer, the festival aims to please. “I’m just looking forward Kyle Wells to another legendary rock Reporting show,” said organizer Nick Blasko of Atomique Productions. “For West Shore, but also for Victoria in general … We’re trying to create something, to do an annual event here. And I think there’s clearly the appetite.” Addressing some of last year’s concerns, organizers have tripled the number of food vendors, created more entrances to the site, have more water supplies and have expanded the beer garden. At the same time, the venue’s capacity has been reduced by 2,500 from last year. “(That is) to make sure that people have a little more room to move around on the site and to provide a better whole day-long experience for people,” Blasko said. “That’s all in an effort to serve the demand that was there and cut down on the lineups. “Certainly last year was a big learning (experience) for everyone, there were a whole bunch of things that were just unforeseen.” Blasko also hopes the weather co-operates

Canadian artist Sam Roberts, whose set was cut short last year due to a lightning storm, is back for another appearance at Rock the Shores in Colwood. this year. High winds and lightning cut short Sam Roberts Band’s set last year, making way for nature’s own rock show. West Shore RCMP will be onsite both days augmenting the event security and stepping in, if needed. Last year’s event turned out remarkably well, said RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz, noting that the extra day will require more police resources. “We’ve looked at things and tweaked things in some ways,” she said. “Come in and enjoy yourself, enjoy the day, and try to do it in a safe and controlled manner.” There’s various options for concert goers looking to leave their vehicle at home.
B.C. Transit, with funding provided by event, is putting on extra service to West Shore Parks and Recreation for both days. Cycling to the show is also encouraged and a free bike check valet service is available. Those who bike receive priority entrance through the VIP gates. Carpooling is also welcomed and there will be designated drop off and pick up areas for those catching a ride. There is limited parking for VIP pass holders, accessible via Ocean Boulevard.
With the idea for some form of regional amalgamation on the minds of many, the City of Colwood is turning to residents to find out what they think. “What does it mean to people in the community?” asked Mayor Carol Hamilton. “What do they think it will achieve if that were to take place? Is there an interest even in doing it?” This fall, a group of residents and council members will begin meeting to look at options for public consultation. Hamilton expects it will take six to eight months of open houses and surveying the community to get a sense of public opinion. The results will help council decide whether to support placing a referendum question about Capital Region amalgamation on the ballot for the November 2014 civic elections.

Parkour lands safely on the West Shore
POLICE NEWS IN BRIEF
Worst ever double-double
A Tim Hortons customer in Colwood got more than he ordered Sunday when a man walked in and randomly spat on him. At about 10:15 p.m. West Shore RCMP were called to the Tim Hortons on Island Hwy. A man had walked into the restaurant and spit on a customer, without provocation. The saliva hit the man in the right eye, mouth and arm. “This was an unprovoked assault, with the suspect walking past the victim and spitting at him for no apparent reason,” said RCMP spokesperson, Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz. The suspect left Tim Hortons immediately after and the victim and a friend went after him. The suspect jumped on a mountain bike and took off towards West Shore Parks and Recreation. He is described as Caucasian with dark, curly hair to his ears and with noticeable sores on his face. He was wearing a dark T-shirt with writing on it, capri pants and another piece of clothing draped over his shoulder. The man who was spat on went to the hospital where staff assured him he would be fine.
Public rec course offers the basics for agile adults Charla Huber News staff
Leaping, zipping or springing – with parkour there is no wrong way to get around. West Shore Parks and Recreation is offering its first class in the activity, made popular after the James Bond film Casino Royale, as a way for patrons to get a whole new workout. Instructor Lee Sykes, who has eight years of background in gymnastics, has been actively involved in parkour for a few years. “Parkour came from military camps and obstacle courses,” he explained. “It’s about trying to find the most efficient way to get from Point A to Point B.” The Parkour Fit class is aimed at beginners. Participants train in the fitness studio for fundamentals and outdoors on the 108 acres at West Shore Parks and Recreation for real life exposure to the elements. “Parkour is all outside and just uses things that are in the environment,” Sykes said, unlike gymnastics training, which is all indoors and much more structured. The course teaches proper ways to jump and land, agility training and beginner parkour movements. “One of the biggest ways people can hurt themselves is from not landing properly,” Sykes said. Throughout the six-lesson program, mini obstacle courses will be set up to allow participants to put their newfound knowledge into action.
“This is an awesome way to use critical thinking,” said Kristy Webster, fitness and wellness programmer. “Sometimes parkour can be seen as disrespectful, but we are showing people how to do it in a safe environment.” The class is using areas around the facility on which participants can practise on their own. Sykes is not teaching flips or how to leap across rooftops – a là James Bond – but will incorporate several techniques based on people’s abilities. Parkour Fit is an adult course offered at the Colwood facility on Sundays. The sixweek course began on Sept. 7, but late registration is being accepted. For more information call West Shore Parks and Recreation at 250-478-8384. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Transit corridors on tap for Douglas Project will affect bus service to West Shore Daniel Palmer News staff
Bus lanes are coming to Douglas Street. The Victoria Regional Transit Commission endorsed two options for the Douglas Street priority lanes at a meeting on Thursday. Victoria council will choose a preferred option at an upcoming meeting. The first concept would create a bus-only lane southbound during the morning rush hour, and a northbound bus lane during afternoon peak hours, said VRTC chair Susan Brice. It comes with a price tag of about $400,000. The second concept would see city
crews widen Douglas Street north of Hillside Avenue at a cost of about $1 million. “The VRTC would support and fund either concept, but because those road surfaces are City of Victoria, we want them to make decisions on what works best for their community,” Brice said. Traffic diversion onto Blanshard Street is inevitable with both options, but VRTC staff estimate widening Douglas Street would cut diversion rates in half, from 50 per cent to 25 per cent of vehicles. More than 300 people submitted opinion surveys on the options. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Craigflower Bridge opening moved to March 2014 Difficulties in acquiring steel to build the new Craigflower Bridge has forced Saanich and View Royal to push the scheduled completion back some four months. Originally set to be complete in
by Dec. 1, Jim Hemstock, Saanich’s manager of capital projects, says March 2014 is the new timeline. “We might be able to improve it, but we still have quite a ways to go. One of the concerns we have now is
we’ll be doing a lot of this work during the winter,” he said. As an example of the demand for steel, Hemstock said the bridge contractor, Don Mann Construction, had steel lined up, but another com-
pany came in and snapped up the entire mill run, about 2,000 tons of steel. An estimated 200 tons of steel are required to build the bridge. – with files from Kyle Wells kslavin@saanichnews.com
Hit and run suspect sought by police
Police are looking for witnesses to a hit and run when a vehicle hit a pedestrian on Friday, June 21 at about 8 a.m. An 18-year-old man was hit by a car at the intersection of Jacklin Road and Jenkins Avenue. The pedestrian was struck in the knee and knocked to the ground, but his injuries were described as minor. The victim said the vehicle was a two-door grey car with two occupants and a female driver. “The (pedestrian) believes that the driver did turn back and look at him and check on him, and then drove off,” Rochlitz said. “So we’re looking for anybody that may have any information about this vehicle. If the driver is listening and they were involved in this incident, we would be happy to talk to them and understand exactly what happened.” West Shore RCMP asks anyone with information on either of the incidents above to call the detachment at 250474-2264. kwells@goldstream gazette.com

Colwood council has passed the bylaw allowing backyard chickens and other poultry to be kept on residential lots. Owners of lots between 55 square metres and 4,000 sq. m (one acre) will be allowed to keep up to four chickens in a secure, fenced enclosure. Roosters will not be allowed in sites under 4,000 sq. m. Mayor Carol Hamilton said the change came as a response to what the city has been hearing from residents for years. City staff looked into the potential effects on the community and consulted with the public

before recommending passage of the bylaw. “We’re good to go,” Hamilton said. “Four chickens in (that size of lot) is not an onerous number. I think it’s pretty good, as long as people don’t try to turn four into 40.” The response has been predominately positive throughout the process, Hamilton said, adding the rules surrounding the bylaw should address any concerns. “I think we’re going to hear that it’s a good thing and we probably won’t even notice it or see anything going on.” For the full regulations, contact the City of Colwood at 250-478-5999 or visit colwood.ca. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Province eyes ‘new model’ for Craigflower sites Unsustainable as museums, operation of historic properties is up for grabs Kyle Slavin News staff
The historic Craigflower Manor and Schoolhouse sites, in View Royal and Saanich respectively, are expected to undergo big changes in coming months, as the province looks to move away from having them operate as money-losing museums. For a decade, the two sites, a couple hundred metres apart from one another on either side of the Craigflower bridge, were operated by non-profit organization The Land Conservancy as museums and historic sites. TLC handed control of both properties back to the province earlier this year. The provincial government announced this week it is seeking expressions of interest from organizations to ensure the “financial viability and self-sufficiency of the lands.” “We want (the sites) to become one big recreational landscape in the midst of these communities,” said Richard Linzey, manager of heritage programs with
the province’s heritage branch. “It has real potential – we see this as an opportunity to rejuvenate the cultural landscape. How can we take these historic sites and move them into the 21st century, both visually and functionally?” While the province has no fixed ideas on what the sites could become, Linzey said, there’s a strict process to evaluate the expressions of interest, to ensure the heritage values of the sites aren’t lost. “I really hope people don’t think we’re throwing out the baby with the bathwater. We have a mandate under the Heritage Conservation Act to manage the heritage values, that’ll be front and centre when we’re looking at these proposals,” he said. As an example, Linzey suggested the manor could become the headquarters for a local group that teaches food security or backyard gardening. “What I like about that example is that it interprets the heritage value of Craigflower Manor real well in a modern idiom.” Up until this year, the province was contributing $80,000 annually toward upkeep and maintenance of the sites, but TLC was spending donor dollars on the sites as well. “We simply can’t afford to manage them on behalf of the

province anymore,” Alastair Craighead, chair of TLC’s board, told the News in January. “Our donations are precious and we really want to apply them to lands we own.” Craighead suggests the sites become community venues for events and functions instead of museums where most areas are roped off. Organizations have until Aug. 19 to submit expressions of interest for the two sites. Linzey said the hope is to have the Craigflower sites in operation under new management by the time the bridge replacement project is completed, sometime in December. – with files from Charla Huber kslavin@saanichnews.com

OUR VIEW
Korean War vets earned respect We were heartened recently upon hearing Canadian veterans of the Korean War were finally to be recognized with their own day of remembrance. The Year of the Korean War Veteran was proclaimed by the federal government in January of this year, Those who fought to coincide with the 60th anniversary of in forgotten war the armistice signed in finally recognized 1953. But the enactment of a special day, July 27, to be marked in perpetuity to honour the sacrifices and efforts of Canadian soldiers, sailors and air force personnel, has more long-term significance. In all, 516 Canadians died and another 1,558 were wounded in the three-year conflict, a battle between the Soviet and China-supported north, and the south Koreans, supported by the United Nations, some of the member countries of which waged war against the Nazis just a handful of years previous. Stories retold by local Korea vets of surviving family members receiving little in the way of acknowledgement of their sons and daughters’ sacrifices from the Canadian government were both shocking and embarrassing. Media of the day largely ignored the conflict, to the point where many Canadians back home didn’t realize their country was playing a combat role in the war-torn region. Luckily, things have changed in 50 years, including the treatment of veterans and the value we place on their role in maintaining peace and reducing chaos in the world. Most wars in which Canada has been involved have aimed to achieve a political end for the greater good. The people on the front lines working to accomplish that aim – some of whom paid the ultimate price – deserve to be recognized for their efforts, which in the vast majority of cases are honest, true and patriotic. Regardless how one feels about war, the Canadians who have fought in them have, at the end of the day, worked to protect the rights and freedoms we should never take for granted. For that, they deserve our thanks. What do you think? Give us your comments by email: editor@goldstreamgazette.com or fax 250-478-6545.

In place since 2003, the Regional Growth Strategy proposes “keeping urban areas compact and largely contained,” while ensuring that the region’s wild spaces are left for future generations. That a proposal which failed to accommodate any existing plans for the Juan De Fuca area even made it to a vote reveals that The Shores and Wildwood have indeed set a precedent for development outside of the region’s urban areas. Why am I boring you with all of this ancient history? In 2003 and again in 2011, the CRD promised us developments like The Shores and debacles like the one I’ve just related to you would never happen again. A decade later, nothing has changed. As the Regional Growth Strategy awaits integration into a comprehensive Regional Sustainability Strategy next year, it’s time for the public to ask when the CRD will start to back up its promises.

Columnist’s portrayal of Canada was ‘disgusting’ Re: Rights under attack on Canada Day (The Capital, June 5) Simon Nattrass’ column on July 5 was an embarrassment to your publication. Victorians just had a bad week. We found out that our small city on an island at the edge of the world is not immune to the scourge of Islamic terrorism. On our beloved Canada Day, when citizens from coast to coast gather to celebrate what a wonderful country we live in, two of our own tried to murder and injure. We are all poorer because of it. So what does Simon Nattrass and the News do the following Friday? They kick us all in the teeth with a ridiculous editorial painting a picture of Canada
that is utterly disgusting. According to Nattrass, our police use Orwellian armoured vehicles and helicopters with search lights to harass harmless everyday citizens, Victoria was the staging point for “the genocide” of indigenous peoples up and down the coast, Victoria “orchestrated the spread of smallpox” to natives, and then Mr. Nattrass confesses that he can’t really get that “O Canada feeling” celebrating Canada Day on “stolen land.” Mr. Nattrass, let me tell you about Canadians. First of all, we are not apologists. Supposed injustices 100 or 150 years ago happened, you guessed it, 100 or 150 years ago, and had nothing to do with
us, so get over it. Secondly, no Canadian living today undertook any “colonization” of natives nor did anyone ever intentionally spread any disease to natives. Finally, the overwhelming majority of Canadians completely disagree with you. If Canada isn’t the best country in the world then it’s certainly in the discussion, and we are abundantly proud of what Canada is and will continue to be. No matter how many of you and your Marxist apologists graduate from our universities every year, you’ll always be greatly outnumbered by ordinary small-c Canadians that know our country is awesome from coast to coast.

Victoria’s Molly Campbell has died after a lifelong battle with cancer. The toddler, who was two, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a cancer of the white blood cells, at just 28 days old. She succumbed to the disease at St. Jude’s Hospital in Memphis, Tenn. Wednesday morning. “Your support has meant so much, and I know the Campbell family will appreciate additional prayers and
HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities
Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities. Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently. Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own. Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in. Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

In recent months, Greater Victoria residents rallied to provide financial and emotional support to the Campbells while they lived in the U.S. dpalmer@vicnews.com
easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats. Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis. If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help. Since the program began, more than 300 households completed renovations with HAFI financial assistance, making it possible for seniors and people with disabilities to continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home.

In a Colwood home, a circle of ladies hand-sew the finishing touches on a bundle of quilts bound for Alberta this week. Their tongues and fingers move quickly in the impromptu quilting bee, which aims to create comfort for flood victims. Members of the West Shore Quilters Guild quickly came together once they realized a member of their own had close ties to flood-ravaged Calgary. “I relocated from Calgary to here two years ago,” said member Jeni Mummery of East Sooke. “A lot of my friends and quilting family are back in Calgary.”
When she learned of efforts spearheaded by friends there, she came up with Quilting for Calgary (facebook.com/groups/ quiltingforcalgary/) as a way to help. “I thought, I’ve got to do something,” Mummery said. She started with a Facebook post, offering up her skills and equipment. “I’m sitting here with my big long-arm (quilting) machine … This is what I can do to help.” Mummery and her machinery offered the ability to create quilts quickly from kits pre-assembled by the West Shore Quilters Guild. “We had kits put together in our warehouse ready to go,” said Jan Gillis, guild president. While the cleanup is ongoing from last month’s devastating flood, many people affected lost everything. “The capability of people getting back what they lost
are low,” Gillis said. The guild has sent 22 quilts so far and planned to have another 11 go out today (July 12). “It’s comfort and wellbeing, that’s the age-old thing with quilts,” said Rita Sutton, thimble-covered thumb countering the needle as she worked. Added Mummery: “It’s letting people know somebody out there is thinking about you. You’re not alone, we’re doing what we can to help.” Transporting the quilts was done through WestJet’s Air Angels program, in which staffers volunteer to get emergency relief items where they need to go. The West Shore Quilters Guild routinely supports various causes, including the Victoria Women’s Transition House. Follow the guild online at westshorequiltersguild. com.

he Pacific Tattoo started with a forgotten conversation following the 1992 military tattoo in Chilliwack. The military musical event brings together a collection of fire, police and armed forces bands, and will perform Saturday night and Sunday afternoon at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre. It’s been producer Roger McGuire’s dream since 1992 and now it’s come to fruition, moving into the 7,000 seat Memorial Centre after a debut at Bear Mountain Arena last year. The Tattoo is now an annual event. “McGuire was playing the bagpipes and came and told me at the end of the tattoo in Chilliwack that he wanted to do one,” Pacific Tattoo director Dave Tarry said. McGuire says it’s true and Tarry believes it, but he only knows he talked to a lot of people that weekend. Tarry ran a number of tattoos in the 1980s and 1990s at venues as big as the 16,000seat Pacific National Exhibition arena. When McGuire was seeking volunteers to help launch the first Pacific Tattoo back in 2011, Tarry showed up and they met again. “I figured I’d sell tickets, or hold the door, or do whatever I had to do. I just wanted to help,” Tarry said. “When we found out (Tarry) was available to help we knew we had a lot of expertise,” McGuire said. Bringing together 500 cast and crew on an arena floor is no easy feat and it’s been a long time coming for McGuire. He returned to the Island from that 1992 tattoo and started the Victoria Military Music Festival Society in 1993. A tattoo was always the plan, but wasn’t realistic at first. Instead he ran a series of military music events in Victoria over the course of 18 years. Throughout that time McGuire was also the Pipe Major of the Canadian Scottish Regiment Pipe and Drum band based out of the Bay Street Armoury. He led the regiment band to tattoos in Edinburgh, the Netherlands and Hawaii. “There’s a crossover between the involvement in armed forces the pipes and producing the Tattoo that’s suiting,” McGuire said. This year’s Pacific Tattoo has a fire and police

theme, with the Australian Federal Police Pipes and Drums, the Johan Willem Frisco Netherlands Army Band, Delta and Winnipeg Police Pipe bands, and several more. Of the 500 cast and crew there will be members of B.C. RCMP and firefighters, local Highland and Irish country dancers. One hundred and eighty-five of those will be carrying an instrument, 100 drums and 85 brass and reed. “When they all come together it’ll make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up,” Tarry said. Last year’s inaugural Pacific Tattoo carried a Queen’s Jubilee theme and featured 400 performers. Scheduling conflicts precluded the use of Royal Athletic Park. “It’s a big step moving into the arena for our second year. We hadn’t planned on making the jump so soon but it’s going well so far,” McGuire said. “One of the first challenges was old Memorial Arena not suiting us very well. But even when the new arena came together we had some other challenges. As a new event it’s a big step to move to (Memorial Centre) but we took it and now we’re making the best of it.” Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. on Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday at Memorial Centre. Tickets available in advance online at pacifictattoo.ca/tattoo-tickets.

It is said that British troops were stationed in the lowlands of Holland in the 17th century. To recall them to their garrisons each night, drummers were sent through the villages playing doe den tap toe, which translated as “turn off the tap,” so the innkeepers knew to stop serving beer. One drummer led to two drummers which led to four drummers, and tap toe morphed into tattoo. Now it’s come to represent a military festival of music and dancing. - All 500 cast and crew will dine in the Victoria Curling Club. - A dance crew from Stages Performing Arts School will add a touch of comedy with an original Keystone Cops style skit.

West Lake ButterfLy GirLs Band
weekend
Butterfly Band spreads its wings You’ve probably never heard of a pipa, shimianluo or daluo, but on Sunday Alix Goolden Performance Hall will be filled with their music, played by one of China’s most acclaimed traditional performance bands. The West Lake Butterfly Girls Band are visiting from China’s Zhejiang province as part of the Canadian-Chinese Performing Arts Festival. The 18-member band has already graced stages as prominent as New York’s Lincoln Centre to share music that predates modern history. “Zheijiang is the province where Suzhou is located, the sister city of Victoria,” said Thomas Leung, president of the Canada-China Friendship Association, Victoria branch. “A lot of these instruments — harpsichords, flutes, gongs and two-stringed erhus — the Canadian population are not accustomed to hearing many of them, so it’s a great opportunity to listen to a world-class band, particularly in Victoria,” Leung said. The performance is part of a seven-week arts festival organized to promote Chinese culture and promote co-operation between Canada and China, Leung added. This is a very highly accomplished ladies group, wonderful artists and beautiful people as well,” he said. The show is Sunday at 8pm.The $25 tickets are available through the McPherson Playhouse box office at 250-386-6121 or by calling Leung at 250-220-6138.

Laroche’s art work is uplifting Sidney artist Odette Laroche is joining fellow Federation of Canadian Artists member Linda Anderson in a joint show at the Coast Collective Gallery in Colwood this month. Laroche, who runs her own gallery and teaches painting to area students, is looking forward to showing her collected works at Bold Living Paintings, until July 14. Laroche creates images in bold colours, thick with texture, depicting scenes that, while not completely real, evoke memory in each viewer. She said her work — done mainly in oils in techniques she has honed over her many years of painting — invokes the feeling that the viewer has been there before. “If I want a place to be recognizable, I will look at the form and structure of the place and translate it into my work,” she said. “It’s a path and a journey that the viewer takes.” For her, painting is a journey and she enjoys it immensely. She mainly works in landscapes but does make the odd foray into portraits, which requires her to work more realistically. “My goal in painting is to make them uplifting, enjoyable, with lots of colour and texture. I want to take people to a place they haven’t been before, or maybe trigger a memory.” The show in Colwood this month will feature some of Laroche’s larger works, many of which she keeps in her gallery off of Beacon Avenue, next to the Fairway Market. It’s also there where she hosts students, young and old, who want to learn to express their art. Later this month, on July 20, Laroche will also be at the Greater Victoria Art Gallery Paint-In.

A call to Revolution
Greta Gerwig stars as Frances in Frances Ha, which opens today at the Empire 6. Photo contributed
A loosely choreographed life
I
f there was ever any question that Greta Gerwig (Lola Versus) is the new indie It Girl, all doubt is removed with Frances Ha, a jauntily episodic account of 20-somethings trying to make their way in New York City. Gerwig plays Frances, a 27-year-old apprentice dancer and choreographer at the periphery of a Manhattan dance company. Full-time employment eludes her, and our sometimes ungainly and neurotic heroine thus has lots of time to tug at the many loose ends of her messy private life. At the beginning of the film she breaks up with her boyfriend, mostly because she’d rather keep sharing a lease with
her best gal pal, Sophie. That arrangement soon upends as Sophie moves in with a fellow that the two young women had long disparaged. Frances is soon looking for other living arrangements, and eventually new employment, all the while trying to negotiate friendships and relationships with a circle of acquaintances who are casual about sex and sardonic about the self-conscious lives they all lead. Estranged from Sophie, the increasingly confused Frances has a rough few months as she flails around trying to find a satisfying path in life. Although this is all routine stuff – think HBO’s Girls, but on a bigger canvas – this well-observed film is
charged with deadpan humour that will spark hoots of rueful recognition in the audience. Gerwig, who co-wrote the script with director and real-life lover Noah Baumbach (The Squid and the Whale), creates a fully fleshed character who is deeply flawed, often lacking in good judgement, and marvelously human. Never sitcomcute, the sometimes-unlikable Frances, who self-identifies as “undateable,” is fascinating and always-believable company. And as she slowly stumbles towards maturity, it’s impossible not to wish her well. Rating: ★★★½
H
ollywood thrillers so much emphasize visceral impact over underlying ideas that it is almost startling to enter the world of The East, a thoughtful if rather earnest look into the shadowy realm of eco-terrorism. The film stars Brit Marling as Sarah, an ex-FBI agent who has recently been hired by an elite security firm with a roster of multinational clients. Sarah is asked to go undercover and infiltrate The East, a cell of eco-radicals who believe in inflicting violent reprisals on the top brass of, say, pharmaceutical companies who knowingly sell dangerous antibiotics, or oil refineries whose chemical pollution causes cancer. Sarah successfully worms her way into the middle of this group of anarchists whose members include an angry and suspicious young woman (Ellen Page), a med school dropout, and the group’s soulful leader (Alexander Skarsgard), Benji.
weekend
Initially a dutiful spy, Sarah gradually finds herself falling not only for Benji but also his logic of raising public awareness by inflicting harsh consequences on “eco-criminals” who would otherwise go unpunished. And when Sarah realizes that her own boss is also a callous bastard, she is liberated to readjust her moral compass. But how far will she go? East has a slightly mysterious air that marks it as more arthouse film than genre exercise. But moodiness can only take you so far, and many of the scenes – both in the anarchists’ abandoned farmhouse and the boardroom of the security firm – don’t quite ring true (the fact that Sarah looks more like a Vogue model than a freegan dumpster diver isn’t even the most improbable thing in the film). But notwithstanding its dopey ending and other flaws, this is well worth watching. Rating: ★★½ The East continues at the Odeon.
Frances Ha opens Friday at the Empire 6.

OPENING
★★★½ FRANCES HA -(Empire 6) Greta Gerwig, the new indie It Girl, stars in this droll comedy-drama about a 20-something wannabe dancer in New York who is having trouble putting her life together. Starts Fri. See review. PACIFIC RIM -(Odeon/SilverCity/ Westshore/Empire Uni 4) Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth)
directs this Transformers-ish epic about aliens who attack Earth and are resisted by giant robots that are controlled by human “pilots.” The planet gets trashed – once again – starting Fri. GROWN UPS 2 -(Odeon/ SilverCityWestshore) Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock and David Spade reunite for more lowbrow shenanigans as these old pals from high school return to their hometown
to find all sorts of craziness awaiting them. Starts Fri. ★★★½ THE SAPPHIRES -(Caprice, Cinecenta) Sixties soul music is at the centre of this delightful, true-life story about four young Australian aboriginal singers who hooked up with a wacky promoter and toured American military bases in Vietnam, performing Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett songs to adoring soldiers. Starts Fri.
CONTINUING
★★★½ BEFORE MIDNIGHT -(Empire Uni 4) Richard Linklater’s third installment of the charming – and chatty – love-denied story of Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy) has lots of surprises … not least of which is that the starcrossed lovers have finally hooked up. Between the atmospheric Greek locale and the well-crafted dialogue this is a grand cine-treat for those
‘‘GRAND, ROMANTIC, AND GENEROUS.’’ Joy Dietrich
‘‘GRETA GERWIG IS AT HER INCANDESCENT BEST.’’ Ann Hornaday
already bored with the summer’s superhero blockbusters. THE CROODS - (Caprice) A prehistoric family taking an unexpected “road trip” into a magical land is the plot of this whimsical animated charmer (which has been getting great reviews). With the vocal talents of Emma Stone, Nicolas Cage, and Ryan Reynolds. EPIC - (Caprice) In this animated family adventure a teenage girl is magically transported to a deep forest setting where she bands together with a wacky crew of critters to help battle a terrifyingly dark force that is threatening their world … and ours. Note: moves from the Westshore to the Caprice on Fri. ★★½ DESPICABLE ME 2 -(Odeon/ SilverCity/Westshore/Empire Uni 4) The 2010 original, about a loathsome criminal mastermind who was reformed by the love of three young orphan girls, was a goofy delight. The sequel, although still clever, is much more scattershot, with an unimaginative plot and unwelcome dashes of mean spiritedness. Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, and Russell Brand supply the voices. ★★½ THE EAST -(Odeon) Interesting moral complexities are explored when a female undercover operative infiltrates a violent anarchist group that attacks evil corporations … and she slowly finds herself becoming attracted to the group’s point of view. Starring Ellen Page, Brit Marling, Alexander Skarsgard. See review. ★★½ FAST & FURIOUS 6 (Caprice) The high-octane series continues, with ever-wilder stunts. In this outing Dom’s crew is asked to take down an ex-Special Ops soldier who has morphed into a supercriminal specializing in vehicular warfare. Starring Dwayne Johnson, Vin Diesel, and Paul Walker. ★★½ THE HEAT -(Odeon/SilverCity/ Westshore) In this raucous and sometimes hit-and-miss comedy from Paul Feig (Knocked Up), Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids) play odd-couple cops who will have to learn to work together if they are to stand a chance of taking down the drug lord who’s their assigned target. ★★★ IRON MAN 3 -(Caprice) An emotionally unbalanced Iron Man (Robert Downey) goes up against the terrifying Mandarin (Ben Kingsley), one of the more intriguing megalomaniacs of recent years. Despite being a step down from the original – and a bit long-winded and bombastic – this is an imaginative, humourous and fast-paced thrill ride. With Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle and Guy Pearce. ★★ THE LONE RANGER -(Odeon/ SilverCity/Westshore) More proves to be less, as the classic western TV show from the 1950s that featured a masked lawman and his Native American sidekick gets a predictably grandiose treatment from director Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean). Starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer. To be fair, this is much slicker and more entertaining than the vindictive critical dog pile would make you imagine it is.

v i c t o r i a’ s u lt i m at e g e t o u t g u i d e
weekend ★★½ MAN OF STEEL -(Empire 6/SilverCity/ Westshore/Caprice) Zack Snyder (The Watchmen, 300) helms this occasionally interesting but mostly inflated reboot of the series about the original caped superhero. Starring Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, and Michael Shannon, who is brilliant as the villainous General Zod. MONSTERS UNIVERSITY -(Empire 6/SilverCity/Westshore) In this prequel to the 2001 animated smash about fuzzy plush-toy monsters, we go back to the early days when Sully (John Goodman) and Mike (Billy Crystal) met at university. ★★ NOW YOU SEE ME -(Empire 6/Caprice) The FBI and Interpol combine forces to battle a clever crew of Las Vegas illusionists who seem to be robbing banks … while simultaneously performing for a casino audience. Despite a great cast that includes Morgan Freeman, Mark Ruffalo, and Jesse Eisenberg, this is a flabby caper film with little magic to it. ★★½ OBLIVION -(Roxy, 9:15) Tom Cruise stars in a visually stylish but rather dull and derivative sci-fi thriller about a man who returns to a ruined Earth to extract its remaining resources when strange things start to happen and he begins to question his mission and himself. ★★★½ STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS -(Roxy, 7:00) J.J. Abrams retains the helm of the rebooted Star Trek franchise with this entertaining and engaging tale about a youthful Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) tackling a seemingly unstoppable one-man weapon of mass destruction. With Bruce Greenwood, Zoe Saldana, and a sinister Benedict Cumberbatch. ★★★ THIS IS THE END -(Odeon/ SilverCity) In this truly whacked comedy, stars such as Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel and Jonah Hill play themselves as they party at James Franco’s house – only to find themselves confronting a terrifying, demon-filled apocalypse. Although a bit oversold and rather slapdash, this is very funny (and very rude). ★★ WHITE HOUSE DOWN -(Empire 6/SilverCity/Caprice) As if Barack Obama didn’t have enough problems, the White House falls under attack – again! – by terrorists, and there’s only one off-duty cop (Channing Tatum) on the inside who is left alive and able to give the bad guys a thumping. Basically, this is lots of good actors slumming in a cheesy-fun flick that slowly becomes jaw-droppingly corny and preposterous. ★★★ WORLD WAR Z -(Empire 6, SilverCity, Empire Uni 4, Westshore)
Countries topple and armies shatter in the face of a zombie pandemic, as a shaggy-haired Brad Pitt tries to save the world. This is an intense and intelligent movie that uses zombies to embody the more plausible horror of a SARS-like threat to the planet.

Bullets hit bullseye at city championships Some Triangle baseballers make elite team Charla Huber News staff
The Triangle Bullets soared to the top at the Greater Victoria Baseball Association’s city Mosquito division (age 9-10) tournament. The team, with eight first-year and four second-year players on the roster, were crowned city champions on June 21, defeating the Carnarvon Mustangs 12-8 in the final at the Juan de Fuca field. Justin Robinson, Joel Mavretic, Carson Hamilton and Jordan Bond each pitched a scoreless inning to help the Bullets hold off the Mustangs, who led 4-3 after the first inning. “That’s pretty good for that age group,” said Triangle head coach Ward Bond.
“They are an awesome bunch of players.” After winning the city championships the baseball season ended for most of the players. Jordan Bond, 10, was selected to play for the Mosquito AAA Tier 1 team. Cole Belton, Jaden Cull and Kaleb Nantes, also from Triangle Athletic Association, also made the cut for the elite team. The players tried out alongside Mosquito players from across Greater Victoria to earn a spot on the 12-player roster. Over the summer the team competes against teams from across B.C. and Washington State. The Tier 1 team is coached by Ward Bond, Glenn Brown and Dave Berg. charla@goldstreamgazette.com
Trails a boon for mtn. bikers Vancouver Island is home to some of the best mountain biking in the world. While some of the Island’s best trails are up north, the south Island is keeping pace as a hotspot. Greater Victoria offers more than enough options to keep serious riders content between destination trips elsewhere. Key to that is the addition of the Harbourview Road trail system in Sooke. It’s a major coup for the growing number of Victoria riders and gives another option, with 100,000 visitors already hitting the established Hartland/Mount Work trail system each year. While the Capital Regional District isn’t keen on greenlighting Harbourview just yet, riding is already happening there on a basic network of
trails, with endless possibilities for more. The CRD has not permitted the South Island Mountain Biking Society or the Sooke Bike Club to perform any trail maintenance at Harbourview and there’s conflicting views from other user groups. But it’s all in the works, with SIMBS and the SBC advocating for trail usage. Right now the model for creating trails on the Island is the United Riders of Cumberland. They’ve purchased land from forestry companies to keep the trails going and have strong communication with foresters, making it a provincewide destination just a few hours away. sports@vicnews.com

Minor Braves call for volunteers
Susan Simmons swims in the open waters of the Strait of Georgia in 2011 as part of a relay team. Simmons and her two teammates swam one hour shifts across the 34-kilometre crossing from Sechelt to Nanaimo. Simmons estimates her distance at about nine kilometres, less than a third of what she’ll attempt on July 20. Photo by Jim Close
A cold answer to MS Athlete a model for multiple sclerosis Travis Paterson News staff
When Susan Simmons was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis she was told not to exercise. That’s because until recently the medical system told most people with MS to hold off exercising, and for good reason. Exercise heats the body and overheating is a known trigger for MS symptoms. But new knowledge is changing the approach to dealing with MS. Simmons, for example, was once confined to the couch. She was 80 pounds heavier and suffered temporary blindness, up to two months at a time. Exercise, and her will to stick with it, has brought her back to a functioning status beyond that of most 48-year-olds. She’s currently preparing for her biggest open-water swimming achievement yet, as she attempts to conquer the length of Cowichan Lake on July 20. It’s 34 kilometres from Heather Campsite to the Town of Lake Cowichan. In fact if it wasn’t for the potentially debilitating disease, the James Bay resident may not have become the ultra-distance swimmer that she is. After 12 years with the disease, and “a lot” of medically prescribed drugs, Simmons said her health was clearly headed in a downward spiral. “I started exercising when I was 40 because I knew something had to happen, or I was going to end up in a wheelchair,” she said.
As a youth Simmons loved swimming, and the temperature of the pool matched with the knowledge she needed to keep her body cool. “At first it would be a few laps in the pool followed by a two- to threehour nap. It got better and better.” To prepare for Cowichan Lake, Simmons has branched from her Victoria Masters swim group at Crystal Pool and joined three more, the Tyee Aquatic Club, Mercury Rising Triathlon and YMCA Victoria.
been setbacks, but you won’t hear any complaining from Simmons. A (mostly) raw food diet to go with the heavy swimming regimen has changed her mindset. She’s a model for others with MS. Her blog, MSathlete.org, is accessed worldwide. “I get emails from out-of-country, ones that really move me, people who say, ‘I used to be a runner or swimmer and now I’m back at it since being diagnosed,’” she says. “What really moves me are emails
Did you know? ■ Not everyone has the opportunity to exercise against MS as it’s more progressive for some than others. ■ Simmons is a five-time participant and co-organizer of the HtO Thetis Lake Swim for MS. The July 28 fundraiser has several distances, 800-metre, 1.5 km, three and five km distances. ■ The 1.5 and 3 km Thetis Lake swims also act as Masters Provincial Championship distances. ■ Fifty percent of the money raised will go towards a cure for MS and 50 per cent will help fund a fitness program for people with MS in the community. ■ In addition to her four masters swim clubs Simmons is also part of an unofficial Sunday morning
“Masters swimming clubs don’t do the kind of kilometres I need so I’ve had to find more. It’s not much fun doing 50 kilometres per week in the pool by yourself.” Even during her taper this week, Simmons is swimming a total of 30 km. Through the years there have
Susan Simmons club for MS swimmers, a quiet success story of half a dozen people conquering the disease. Some are walking again after being wheelchair bound.
that say, ‘You’ve inspired and motivated me to get fit for a half-marathon.’ I live for that.” Others who contact her are still in the early stages of exercising. “They need a three hour nap after 10 laps in the pool, and that’s a thrill too because I’ve been there.” Simmons’ current neurologist is
fairly new to her and is happy she’s exercising, she says. “I think the MS community has realized (the importance of exercise) and more are doing it.” Simmons won’t be alone for the Lake Cowichan swim. Swimming alongside her is Alex Cape, a 34-year-old Canadian Forces army medic and member of the Vic Masters club. They’ll be escorted by a support crew of friends and family in boats, and are inviting swimmers to jump in for a stint along the way. If Simmons completes it without incurring any serious health hazards, such as hallucinating or suffering hypothermia, she’ll strongly consider attempting the English Channel (charmingly, the distance from Dover to Calais also 34 km). As a swimming purist, Simmons won’t wear a wetsuit. It offers buoyancy and is not in accordance with the Channel Swimming Association guidelines. Cowichan will be cool, but not as cold as the Channel. However the freshwater will be less buoyant than the ocean. The swim is estimated to take 10 to 11 hours. Two years ago Simmons swam with an all-women’s relay team across the Strait of Georgia, 34 km from Sechelt to Nanaimo (Simmons’ estimates her contribution at around eight to 10 km). Last year Simmons completed the Vancouver Open Water Swim Association’s Bay Challenge, a 10-km swim across the Burrard Inlet from West Vancouver to Kitsilano Beach. “I thought I was hallucinating in the Burrard Inlet when I saw a massive animal beside me. Turns out it was a grey whale.” sports@vicnews.com
It’s summer time, the best time of year to look at youth hockey, hockey parents and the politics that go with it. Player assessments are coming up in August and the Saanich Braves Minor Hockey Association would love to have people with hockey backgrounds making non-biased decisions when grading players’ for skill. “We’re always looking for coaches and new people to come in and help coach and do player assessments with a non-biased persective,” said Norm Westhaver, vice president and coach coordinator. “Not to take away from parent volunteers. You need to have parents contributing and we’ll have parents come forward but we want to put it out there that we’re always looking for non-parents to commit beforehand.” Westhaver played for the minor Braves organization as a kid and was a Jr. B Brave after that. Now all four of his sons, ages seven, 10, 12 and 14, are part of the league and Westhaver wanted to help out. “We’ve removed a paid hockey ops position and have now got a number of volunteers handling the different tasks,” Westhaver said. “There’s always a need for coaches and other volunteers.” The Braves teams play out of George R. Pearkes Community Rec. Centre. Contact Westhaver at normwest@telus.net.

Newspapers alive and well Canadians want their community newspapers Suzanne Raitt
Newspapers Canada
“
Newspapers are alive and well in Canada. Eight in 10 Canadians have read a newspaper in the last week in print or online. And each day, more than half of Canadians read. If we just consider print newspapers for a moment, there are 21 per cent more print newspapers than there were in 1970. Furthermore, there were 10 new print newspapers launched in last year. Canadians love print newspapers.

Many newspapers offer �lyers in print and electronic form. Eighty-�ive per cent of Canadians use �lyers – and by far (90 per cent) they tell us they use the print �lyer. Canadians are embracing newspapers across all devices. Research shows the average Canadian touches newspaper media six times in a day: twice each in print and online, once via tablet and once on a phone. Canadians want newspapers. They also want newspaper ads. They expect newspapers to have ads. And they trust ads in newspapers, both in print and online, more than ads in other media. Why the misperception about newspapers? The data for Canadian newspapers is not the case in the United States. And their bad news spills over the border.
Suzanne Raitt
In the U.S., a city might have one local paper. In Canada, many of our cities have lots of options in terms of newspapers. More papers equals more competition, which keeps the industry on its toes. As such, Canadian papers provide lots of interesting options such as more colour, unique ad shapes and placement, QR codes, multimedia opportunities and more. In the U.S., papers had the opportunity to get sleepy (and they did). Newspapers in Canada are vibrant. About one quarter of all ad dollars spend in media in Canada is spent in newspapers. This roughly matches the amount spent on TV. This is also more than the amount spent on internet advertising. Advertisers clearly agree on the power of newspapers.
Injured wild animals have been flocking to Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre in growing numbers. Already this year, more than 1,000 animals have been cared for at the Metchosin facility. In 2011 Wild ARC treated less than 2,000 animals. In 2012 the number spiked to about 2,500 and for 2013 the numbers are continuing to rise. Island Wildlife Nature Care Centre on Salt Spring Island has scaled back the animals it cares for and has increased its work specifically with seals. About 300 animals were brought to Wild ARC last year from the Gulf Islands that would have formerly

been cared for on Salt Spring Island. Wild ARC manager Kari Marks said not only do more people learn about the facility every year, an increasing number of animals are negatively impacted by humans, causing the centre’s patient load to rise. More animals means more funds are needed to operate the facility. “Each year it costs half a million dollars to run Wild ARC,” said Marks, noting the money covers utility overhead, staffing and food and medicine for the animals. Wild ARC accepts cash donations as well as such items as liquid laundry detergent, bleach and high-quality canned dog and cat food.
