District diverts its green waste Oak Bay expands kitchen scraps program to 6,100 homes Danielle Pope News staff
Kitchen scraps in the landfill will soon be a thing of the past, thanks to the District of Oak Bay’s mission to launch a full-scale collection program by 2014. While Oak Bay has participated in a voluntary pilot kitchen scrap program for about 900 homes since 2006, the new program will expand to cover roughly 6,100 homes in the community and is anticipated to divert more than 1,200 tonnes of waste from the Hartland landfill, which will instead be converted to compost. “Not only did we see a significant drop in the amount “Our main waste dumped at the landfill goal is education of from the pilot area, the pilot program taught us how best to at this point, expand the environmentallyand we don’t friendly service to the entire anticipate community,” said mayor Nils Jensen. having any The expansion came in trouble with any response to the Capital Regional District’s decision to impose communities.” penalties for communities that - Tom Watkins continue to dump kitchen scraps after Dec. 31 this year. While the CRD currently offers a $20-per-tonne credit incentive to communities that adhere to the separation program, Tom Watkins, manager of environmental resource management with the CRD, says starting in January there will be a 20 per cent surcharge on the disposal of refuse not separated. At the current dumping fee of $107 perFINE tonne, those charges could CUSTOM JEWELLERS start at $21.40 per tonne. Kitchen scrap dumping will be banned from the landfill entirely by Dec. 31, 2014. While penalties at that point have yet to be officially determined, Watkins suggests tickets could range in the $100 per infraction region, or even a loss of dumping privileges.

Long battle for recognition over The creation of a special day to honour Korean War veterans marks the culmination of years of hard work
W
hen, after 60 years of prodding, the first national Korean War Veterans Day is celebrated July 27, Fred MacDonald will be thinking of his brother. Bruce MacDonald was among 516 Canadian soldiers who didn’t come home from the war. He was a machine gunner, killed by the enemy while defending a hill from the Chinese during the Battle of Kapyong, as recounted in John Melady’s quintessential book Korea: Canada’s Forgotten War. “He got killed April 25, ’51. He had only left Seattle at the end Kyle Wells of March,” said Fred Reporting MacDonald, who lives in Langford. “Hardly gives you time to look around and see what’s going on. Not very nice.” Last month, Minister of Veterans Affairs Steven Blaney, Sen. Yonah Martin and Saskatchewan MP Blaine Calkins announced the adoption of Bill S-213, which created Korean War Veterans Day, to be celebrated annually on July 27, the day the war ended. It’s been a long struggle to gain recognition for the veterans of a war largely ignored at the time and to this day, MacDonald said. “It seems like forever we’ve been trying something, and nothing’s happened.” The Korean War lasted from 1950 to 1953. It was a conflict between the Republic of Korea (South Korea), supported by the United Nations, and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea), supported by China and the Soviet Union. More than 26,000 Canadians participated in the war, which was initially regarded as a police action. MacDonald’s friend, Gary W. Hall, who grew up in Victoria and now lives in Oak Bay, joined in Feb. 1951. Hall was inspired by the stories his own brother brought back from his time with the Air Force in the Second World War. “When I finished Grade 10, I joined up. I was 17,” Hall said. “At that age your parents had to sign and my mother signed, but my father wouldn’t because he said one son was enough. But eventually he came around.”

Korean War veterans Fred MacDonald of Langford and Gary W. Hall, from Oak Bay, hold up a flag representing MacDonald’s brother Bruce, who died during the conflict. The first ever Korean War Veterans Day will be held on July 27, marking 60 years since the end of the war. A ceremony will be held in Ottawa to mark the anniversary. Fred MacDonald joined the army in 1950 in Peterborough, Ont. and was assigned to artillery. He was stationed in Victoria and shipped out to the war in 1952. He worked in brigade headquarters there and managed to keep away from the front lines, unlike his brother. After Bruce’s death, their mother received his outstanding pay and the Silver Cross in his honour, but nothing more. “I tried to get recognition for him. No way. (The government) wouldn’t even give me a letter saying ‘thanks,’” Fred said. “That’s what makes me mad, too.” When the soldiers returned at the end of the war, or after a one-year rotation, many people didn’t even realize Canada was taking part in the conflict, MacDonald said. “Nobody knew we went, nobody knew we came home, the government didn’t recognize us.” With the day of honour now in place,
“Nobody knew we went, nobody knew we came home, the government didn’t recognize us.” – Korean War veteran Fred MacDonald MacDonald and Hall agreed Martin, who was born in Korea, is largely responsible for helping Korean War vets get the recognition they deserve. “If it wasn’t for her, we wouldn’t have any recognition right now at all,” MacDonald said. “She’s the one that’s done it all.” In a press release, Martin wrote, “I owe my life to all those who served and sacrificed in the Korean War. The passage of this bill is one more way of ensuring that future generations remember and honour the sacrifices made by our

Canadian veterans.” Even with the struggles for recognition, the two local veterans believe what they accomplished in Korea was worth the sacrifice. To this day, Koreans are extremely appreciative of what the soldiers did 60 years ago. “It’s akin to the Dutch about the Canadians during the Second World War. Maybe even more so,” Hall said. “Very appreciative.” MacDonald is returning to Korea with other veterans for a visit in November, his third time returning to the country since the war. He will be there for Remembrance Day, which is the intention of the trip. Hall hasn’t returned, but is on the wait list for the November trip, should anyone not be able to make it. As of yet, no celebration is planned for the Greater Victoria area. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Province eyes new model for Craigflower historic sites Kyle Slavin News staff
The historic Craigflower Manor and Schoolhouse sites, in View Royal and Saanich respectively, are expected to undergo big changes as the province looks to move away from having them operate as money-losing museums. For a decade the two sites, sitting on either side of the Craigflower bridge, were operated by The Land Conservancy as museums. That organization handed them both back to the province earlier this year. The government this week said 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. It has real potential – we see this as an opportunity to rejuvenate the cultural landscape,” said Richard Linzey, manager of heritage programs with the province’s heritage branch. “How can we take these historic sites and move them into the 21st century, both visually and functionally?” Linzey said while the province has no fixed ideas on what the sites could become, there’s a strict process to evaluate the expressions of interest, to ensure the heritage value of the sites isn’t lost. “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 group that teaches food security or backyard gardening.

The province is looking for new operators of the Craigflower Manor and Schoolhouse historic sites. “What I like about that example is that it interprets the heritage value of Craigflower Manor real well in a modern idiom,” he said. Up until this year, the province was contributing $80,000 per year toward upkeep and maintenance of the sites, and 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 board, told the News in January. “Our donations are precious and we really want to apply them to lands we own.” Craighead suggested the sites become community venues for events instead of museums. Organizations have until Aug. 19 to submit expressions of interest Linzey hopes to have the new Craigflower sites in operation by the time the bridge replacement project is complete in December. – with files from Charla Huber kslavin@saanichnews.com
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

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.

A 70-year-old British woman made history in Victoria’s Inner Harbour on Monday morning, becoming the oldest woman to sail solo non-stop around the world. Jeanne Socrates left the Strait of Juan de Fuca on October 22, 2012 on her third attempt at tackling the punishing journey. She already held the title as the oldest woman to circumnavigate the globe on a multistop journey. “Everyone asks me what my plans are now. I don’t know, I’ve got too many other things to think about, too many repairs to do,” Socrates said, standing on the port side of her 11-metre cruiser Nereida in the Inner Harbour. The most harrowing leg of Socrates’ journey was at Cape Horn off the coast of South Africa, where her previous journey was cut short by stormy seas. “I was coming down Cape Horn on the identical day at almost the same spot as my knockdown (in 2011),” she said. “It’s so uncomfortable, I’m damp, I’m cold … and you kind of think, ‘Why am I doing this?’” Despite the bruising weather through much of her journey, calm winds forced Socrates to anchor off Vancouver Island for two days before a Prince of Whales boat offered to tow her in. “The boating community is such a supportive group of people. You see the best side of humanity, how human beings should be to each other all the time,” she said. To read more about Socrates’ journey, visit synereida.livejournal.com. dpalmer@vicnews.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 e-mail: editor@vicnews.com or fax 250-386-2624. All letters must have a name and a telephone number for verification.

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?

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.

Education is key Continued from Page A1
“Our main goal is education at this point, and we don’t anticipate having any trouble with any communities,” says Watkins. “Already, we have eight haulers receiving our incentive, and we’ve diverted more than 2,000 tonnes of waste. People tend to be compliant.” In an effort to find the most “fiscally responsible” method of implementing the program, council called for tenders and, on June 10, awarded a five-year contract to Emterra Environmental Group for waste management service. No staff will be laid off or terminated as a result of the tender, but the accepted bid will cost $45 per household for waste service, less than the anticipated $60 per house with in-house service. While the latter fee would not have included the cost of purchasing a collection vehicle, the Emterra service, which starts in January 2014, will include curbside collection every two Photo contributed weeks and transportation of waste Oak Bay Coun.

T
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.

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.

Cinecenta at UVic screens its films in the Student Union Building. Info: 721-8365. cinecenta.com. ★★★ 42 -(Fri.-Sat., July 12-13: 7:00, 9:25) Here’s the amazing story of baseball legend Jackie Robinson, the supremely talented black player who broke the segregated sport’s colour barrier in the ‘40s when he was signed to the Brooklyn Dodgers. Hokey filmmaking, sure, but it’s a decent, feel-good history lesson.

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.
Universiade draws locals A long list of local and Victoria-based athletes are off to the Universiade games in Kazan, Russia, July 6 to 17. They include rugby sevens player Kehla Guimond, Vikes soccer player Jaclyn Sawicki, swimmers Stephanie Horner, Will Brothers, Alex Page, Aimeson King and Eric Hedlin, volleyball players Marc Howatson and Shanice Marcelle and weightlifter Rachel Siemens.
