Cadets learn rescue skills from veterans

Drivers ignoring signs in work zones

Youth inspired by local search and rescue groups

Search and rescue groups from across Greater Victoria joined together this week to help educate young campers at the Albert Head Cadet Summer Training Centre.

The one-day event included presentations from CFB Esquimalt Urban Search and Rescue team, Victoria Urban Search and Rescue, Metchosin Search and Rescue – complete with rescue dog – and the Metchosin Emergency Program.

“Learning about search and rescue is a part of our basic training. Today they are learning (more) about urban aspects of search and rescue. We don’t usually cover that,” said officer cadet Sarah Lumley, who was working at the camp.

Commander Glenn Cooper of CFB Esquimalt’s team spoke to 50 cadets from across the province on how to be prepared in the event of an earthquake.

“Hopefully we will never have to try out these techniques,” he said.

Cadet Thomas Hadizadeh, from Vancouver, was very interested in learning how to rescue civilians from a collapsed building.

He and the rest of the cadets learned how to drill and cut through concrete to rescue trapped people.

“It’s really scary to think about, but it’s important to know because you know (the big one) is going to happen. I am most amazed to learn that wood can hold 600 pounds at the point of contact,” Hadizadeh said.

West Shore RCMP are asking drivers to slow down in construction zones and obey any and all directions from flag people.

The detachment has fielded complaints from flag people who say drivers are speeding, distracted and not paying attention to their directions.

“Please respect the signage, please respect the direction of the flag people, go through those zones in a controlled, slow manner,” said RCMP spokesperson Const. Kathy Rochlitz. “As the driver, make eye contact with the flag person so you both know that you’re communicating about the same thing.”

Areas of particular concern are the roadwork at Metchosin and Latoria roads and the work zones on the Trans-Canada Highway.

Traffic fines are $196 for disobeying a flag person, and between $196 and $253 for disobeying construction signs.

“We’d rather just have the public obey the law,” Rochlitz said. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Langford senior belts out a win in singing test

Door now open for discussions on McLoughlin Daniel Palmer News staff

Esquimalt’s mayor wants to sit down with the Capital Regional District and discuss a way forward for McLoughlin Point’s wastewater treatment plant, now that B.C.’s environment minister has chosen to stay out of the debate.

On Monday, Esquimalt council rejected a rezoning request from the CRD for McLoughlin Point and instead passed its own bylaw. The township wants the CRD to pay $55,000 a year to an amenity fund and barge all of its construction materials to the site, among other amenity requests.

“We all have concerns about this whole process, but we have left the door open for discussion with CRD and if they’re willing to take a look at the possibilities, we would welcome the discussion,” said Mayor Barb Desjardins. “For the province to intercede at this point, it would be premature.”

On Tuesday, Environment Minister Mary Polak said she hopes both the CRD and Esquimalt resolve the controversy between themselves.

“The idea of intervening in a matter that should be solved at a local level is not something we take very lightly,” Polak said. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Elizabeth Winter, 80, won first place in the Senior Star singing competition hosted by Chartwell Retirement Residences.

Singing has always been a passion for Elizabeth Winter.

At the Senior Star competition organized by Chartwell Seniors Housing, she sang “You Light Up My Life” and took home the first-place trophy June 28 at the Ross Place Retirement Residence in Victoria.

Winter, 80, dressed in a purple evening gown with silver rhinestone earrings and a matching necklace.

“I dressed to sing,” she said.

“Come on, if you are going to do it, you have to do it right.”

Videos of the top two performances in Victoria will be sent to Chartwell Senior Star organizers in Ontario. One person will be selected to compete in the national finals in Niagara Falls, Ont. Winter will find out in September if she has earned one of the 10 coveted spots.

Eight seniors competed in the Victoria event and Winter was deemed the winner by a panel of three judges.

“I saw a poster asking for singers 65 or better,” she said.

“I’ve been in a lot of competitions. I have sang on TV, radio and on stages.”

Her first radio-broadcast performance came as a youngster on CJVI in 1945, when she sang “I Am Always Chasing Rainbows.” Later, she joined the Gilbert and Sullivan Society, now known as the Victoria Operatic Society.

From 1969 to 1974 she was a singer at Butchart Gardens at the Just for Fun show.

“I have been singing all my life,” the Langford resident said.

Today she sings and plays piano with a group called The Nutones, who generally play at retirement residences.

“We play mostly old-time music and we take requests.” charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Summertime is tick season on Vancouver Island The best defence is to cover up, and check yourself regularly Kyle Wells News staff

As Greater Victorians take to the outdoors in the summer heat, another creature, often at odds with the first, will also be taking in some rays.

It’s tick season on southern Vancouver Island, and the Vancouver Island Health Authority is remind-

ing residents to take a few small steps to minimize chances of getting bitten by the pesky, sometimes disease-carrying arachnids.

“Pretty much all of southern Vancouver Island is a potential area for ticks,” said Dr. Dee Hoyano, VIHA medical health officer. “I imagine they’d be out in the West Shore just as they would be in other parts of Victoria.”

Ticks live off blood and bite into various animals, including humans, to find sustenance.

Ticks can’t jump, but they will wait on grasses and bushes for an animal to brush by, at which point they will grab on and bite in.

To help avoid bites, the author-

ity recommends covering up with light-coloured clothing when walking through areas of tall grass, brush or woods, even tucking a long-sleeve shirt into pants, and tucking pants into shoes or socks.

Sticking to cleared trails is another tactic, as is applying insect repellant with DEET. It’s also a good idea to check yourself and your clothing for the little bloodsuckers after a walk. Regularly checking pets for ticks is also important.

While rare, ticks can carry lyme disease, an infectious disease caused by bacteria. In B.C. there are about 18 cases of lyme disease diagnosed annually, while the

Island sees between three and five each year.

“If it’s caught when it first presents and it’s treated with antibiotics, the vast majority of people do just fine,” Hoyano said. “Sometimes if the disease isn’t treated, then people can go on and develop very serious complications from it.”

When someone is bitten by a tick, it typically takes a week or more for symptoms of lyme disease to show up. The most common symptoms are fever, chills, headache, joint pain and swollen lymph glands.

The most obvious sign is a “bullseye rash,” a red rash which

looks like a target often at the location of the bite.

If you’re bitten by a tick, the best way to remove it is with tweezers, Hoyano said. The goal is to remove the whole tick without breaking off the buried head, so it’s important to pull the tick from a point as close to the skin as possible.

The old idea of using heat to remove a tick, from a match or lit cigarette, is not the best way, she said, because the head may remain.

“It’s better to try to remove it with tweezers or go in to see your doctor if you can’t get it out.” kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Communication devices important Continued from Page A1 “I am also really interested in learning how to be self sufficient in case I ever get separated from the group.”

Stephanie Dunlop, Metchosin emergency program co-ordinator, talked to the teen cadets about emergency kits and what survival gear to pack.

“I want to teach the cadets to be prepared for every situation, whether they are out camping, driving on the roadway or at home,” Dunlop said.

She stressed it’s always important to have some form of communication on hand at all times, including radio, a cellphone or GPS device.

Other important items to pack include flashlights and protective clothing or barriers, for both hot and cold weather.

collie. The dog uses both tracking and air scent techniques to locate people.

When tracking, the dog is on a harness with his nose to the ground following one particular scent. When using air scent to track missing persons, the dog wanders and follows any human scent it can find.

“We mostly use air scent, because often our subjects

have been missing for eight to 12 hours,” Richardson said. “We have to train him in a very positive way, you can’t train a rescue dog without positive reinforcement.”

Richardson and Mack have attended 38 incidents in the dog’s three years on the job.

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.

Community labs lose hours Admiral’s Walk lab affected by health authority’s cuts Danielle Pope News staff

Accessing community lab services on the South Island will be trickier for some, as Vancouver Island Health Authority announced this week it will cut hours at three labs and end home visits to collect blood and specimens.

The cost-cutting measures are being made in outpatient services to “redirect the focus on areas of higher use,” said VIHA spokesperson Suzanne Germain.

The Hospital Employees’ Union says the action is in direct response to the province’s decision to slash spending on frontline health services.

“Of course we are concerned about how these changes will disrupt staff, but many others will be impacted – especially the patients who really can’t make it into a lab because they are elderly or frail,” said Mike Old, HEU spokesperson.

Satellite community labs at Admirals Walk in View Royal,

“Not everyone may be supportive, but we are the stewards of the public purse, and we have to make sure our human and financial needs are met.”

– VIHA spokesperson Suzanne Germain Keating X Road and Brentwood, formerly open 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. will close at noon on weekdays, effective Aug. 8.

The Admirals and Keating locations will no longer open Saturday mornings.

VIHA will also halt all home collection services as of Sept. 1, though visits will be replaced by representatives from LifeLabs, said Germain. On many days, she added, the satellite labs serve five or fewer such clients.

While the move affects approximately 3.5 equivalent full-time positions, no layoffs will occur.

Instead, staff is expected to be

redistributed to some of the 15 medical lab positions currently vacant on the South Island.

HEU secretary-business manager Bonnie Pearson said the cutbacks are the beginning of “a long summer and fall of program and service cuts.”

“The B.C. Liberal government said it’s protecting health care, but that’s clearly not what’s happening on the ground,” she said. “These cuts will undermine access to outpatient lab services on the South Island, and deprive the health authority of an important revenue source to support other health services.”

While the decision to decrease services is rarely a happy one, it will save costs, Germain said.

“We understand that change is hard, and we’ve had these discussions with members of the union,” she said. “Not everyone may be supportive, but we are the stewards of the public purse, and we have to make sure our human and financial needs are met.” news@mondaymag.com

“We will also be educating children and adults on the importance of wearing helmets and reminding cyclists that they must obey the rules of the road as well. Education and enforcement go hand-in-hand in promoting safety.”

Harrisson said outdoor swimming pools, lakes and rivers pose different safety concerns that can result in tragic consequences. She reminds parents to never leave children, even those who are good swimmers, unattended. “Let’s all work together to make this summer safe and enjoyable.”

Marina campsite residents face eviction 30-day notice not long enough for residents Britt Santowski Sooke News Mirror

Decades-long users of a First Nations campground at Cheanuh Marina in East Sooke, some of whom have built permanent structures, are in shock after being given 30 days to vacate the premises.

The Beecher Bay (Cheauth) First Nation council voted July 10 to change its land code on the 125unit property off East Sooke Road to allow for future development and close the campground as of Aug. 11.

Gail Patenaude and husband, Rene, a skilled carpenter who built a 1,500-square-foot home in the campground after parking a trailer on the property 30 years ago, are among those people who have been given an eviction notice.

“It’s sickening,” Gail, 69, said of the situation. “There’s no sleep.

We’re not eating.”

Rene, 74, sat quietly beside his wife, his eyes brimming with unspilled tears. While they knew the vote by the band council was coming up, they say they were given no indication that eviction was also forthcoming.

Beecher Bay Chief Russell

Britt Santowski/News staff

Gail and Rene Patenaude stand in front of the home Rene built in the Cheanuh Marina campsite. The Beecher Bay First Nation has given the couple and other permanent “residents” of the campground until Aug. 11 to vacate the premises.

Chipps said in a news release announcing the result of the vote that the band membership is “in need of better jobs and housing.”

“We are committed to creating a sustainable development plan that the (Cheauth) people will be proud of.”

Edward Ezako, who said he has lived at the campsite for 10 years, voiced concern at the turn of events.

“My neighbour across the street has a house; he’s lived here for 40 years,” Ezako said. “We’re all blown away by the chief’s pro-

posal to have us get out of here in 30 days. We’re in shock.”

While longtime residents on the property are figuring out what to do next – a meeting was planned for Wednesday night, after the Gazette’s deadline – conflicting statements about the status of campsite residents have been made by both sides in the dispute.

The “campers” say permanent structures have been erected over the years under full knowledge and permission from Beecher Bay First Nation.

Chipps countered by saying in his eight years as chief, he has only approved the building of one structure, “and that was for one camper who was donating a boat.”

Sharon Cooper, the chief’s sister and a band spokesperson, maintains that in spite of its years in existence, the campground was never intended to be a permanent residence.

“Cheanuh Marina has always been a campsite and has never been a place where anyone is supposed to live,” she said. “At this time, we are aware of people that do live here. So we will be looking to clean up ‘stuff’ that people will probably be leaving behind.”

This includes structures ranging from sundecks and small shacks to “quite large buildings,” Cooper said. Such buildings, she claimed, have never been approved and they need to be removed.

“The extensive developments

have never been approved and people have always known that they are staying in a campsite.

And anyone who goes to a campsite brings in a trailer, and can hook up their trailer and leave within a day.”

The Patenaudes sounded resigned at having to leave their home behind, but their immediate worry is getting out by Aug. 11. They hope to negotiate a time extension.

“We know we have to go,” Gail said, “but we can’t find a place in 30 days.”

The eviction notices state that a relocation co-ordinator is available, as is a storage location for items that cannot be moved within the allowable time. news@sookenewsmirror.com

Future development While no specific project has been unveiled for the Cheanuh Marina campground property, owner Beecher Bay First Nation hopes to enter into an agreement with Victoria businessman David Butterfield to determine the future of the site.

Butterfield is the founder of Trust for Sustainable Development, which has designed and built various “sustainable” residential/commercial communities including Shoal Point in James Bay. Details are at tsd. ca.

OUR VIEW

Cost cutting wounds seniors Everyone wants to keep health care costs down, but we have to take a second look at the Vancouver Island Health Authority’s decision to cut hours at community labs and cut out home visits for those who are unable to access labs on their own.

Years ago, our health-care system began to move away from the attitude that institutionalization is best. New mothers who previously spent a week in hospital after giving birth are now sent home in hours rather than days.

Advances in surgical procedures such as gall bladder removal, and even the insertion of stents in the heart, now have patients heading home in less than a week.

Cutting costs by amalgamating lab services might make good financial sense, but it doesn’t make sense when we want to promote good, preventative medical care.

There are many more support services available to help keep our senior population at home longer, under the care of family members or even under their own care where possible, in order to keep our health-care system from being overburdened.

Removing services that allow easier access to care is a start down a slippery slope to a decline in the overall health of our senior population that we don’t wish to see.

As the “sandwich generation” works to put kids through university while taking care of elderly parents, the availability of home lab technician visits or weekend lab hours is just one more service that allows people from all generations to maintain good health.

Seniors are the people who helped build our health-care system. Centralizing lab services or leaving them to the private sector only helps to reinforce the belief the system is now abandoning them.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, in its Make Health Last campaign, states that Canadians are living longer, but not necessarily healthier. It says on average, we spend our final 10 years dealing with sickness and disease.

However, our health-care decisions can have an impact on how healthy our final years are, and the services we are able to access will be a big part of that overall picture.

With our increasingly aging population, VIHA must begin now to look for ways to accommodate, rather than alienate our seniors.

What it comes down to is a cost-saving versus lifesaving decision for VIHA. What do you think? Give us your comments by email: editor@goldstreamgazette.com or fax 250-478-6545. All letters must have a name and a telephone number for verification.

Unfortunately, the improvements to the area – a plan CRD had already purchased the already declared impossible by the Viewfield Road site in secret for CRD. The CRD has the option to a cool $17 million – a blunder for appeal to the province to override which taxpayers are footing the bill.

Soon after, CRD chair Alastair Bryson politely declined the opportunity to dismiss Blackwell, expressing his “full confidence in (her role) in the CRD.” After denying the CRD’s proposal on Monday, Esquimalt issued its own plea to the province, this time asking that the government place all funding for sewage treatment on hold until an independent audit of the entire project is completed.

Should the municipality’s request go unheard, Saanich Coun. and longtime sewage treatment critic Vic Derman plans to bring forward a similar motion for consideration by the CRD board, demanding “an extensive, independent review of the current project” before any further work is done.

In its selection of the Viewfield sludge plant site, the CRD ignored public opinion until the last minute.

In the rush to break ground at McLoughlin Point, it ignored Esquimalt council and again dismissed public outcry. Even if the CRD succeeds in appealing to the province to force sewage treatment forward in its current form, this week’s events have made it clear that opposition will continue to grow until the district finds some much-needed humility.

well as provide training and new jobs for thousands of engineers and technicians.

This is a smart replacement for the wasteful Industrial Revolution process which frustrated inventors, when leaders in target markets failed to see the value of their machines. Such leaders included early 20th-century generals, admirals, postmasters and transportation chiefs who moved sluggishly in contriving uses for airplanes – a puzzle for the Wright brothers.

A story on theeagle.com, Texas A&M’s online voice trumpeted the advantage of having expertise and technology concentrated under one roof.

University officials indicated solar technologies that normally take six to 10 years to commercialize will be produced in two years through the Centre.

Estimates are that between $400 million to $500 million worth of research will be done at the centre in the first five to six years of operation.

Canadians can take example and transform our lives by calculated investment in clean energy, rather than betting the whole bundle on dirty fossil fuels.

So a conservative university in a Republican oil-producing state becomes a leader of technological co-operation for sun-power; and conservative truly blends with progressive.

By similar focused capitalism applied in different regions, including Vancouver Island, solar, tidal and wind power can be put to wide use, become efficient and avoid killing birds and fish.

Action in Texas is being mobilized by PPA Partners of California. That state has

abundant sunshine, as Texas does, but political bureaucracy prevents California from putting its sunbeams to effective use.

The departure of long-time Texas governor Rick Perry has helped the state wriggle free from extreme right-wing control.

Perry and colleagues tried to coerce and dominate professors with such measures as a requirement that they read a set number of research papers each year.

Perry will not run again, therefore Texas A&M can focus on research, teaching and calculated social change.

Texas-style clean energy can strengthen B.C.’s framework of public power, but that is another argument for another day.

George Mortimore is a longtime columnist with the Goldstream News Gazette.

Readers respond: Electric vehicle subsidies, thoughts on being Canadian End electric car subsidies Re: Get ready for Hydro rate hikes (B.C. Views, July 10).

Tom Fletcher’s article reiterates what we have been told for some time. A large part of the future B.C. Hydro rate increase is caused by the fact that expansion of generating facilities delivers new power at a rate higher than today’s rates.

However, the government is bribing people to switch to electric cars, contributing to consumption increases which will cause rate increases for us all.

Provincial consumption is also high because although the E-Plus contracts with residential customers expired decades ago, the government is choosing to grandfather the “half-price electric heat” offer for political reasons.

Also, some large government buildings are still being heated this way.

At the same time, the minister is telling us that we are producing more natural gas than we need, so we should be consuming large amounts of energy to compress it and ship it overseas. The first step should be to switch to natural gas-powered cars and natural gas heating for almost all homes and large government buildings.

The grant money for electric car purchases should be diverted to incentives for this move. Right now, electric cars are causing the burning of fuels at distant power plants anyway, because that is

where our “last watt” comes from.

Rein Nienaber Saanich

There’s danger in forgetting our past I read with interest the recent columns by Simon Nattrass (Rights under attack on Canada Day) and D. Granlich’s response to it (Columnist’s portrayal of Canada was ‘disgusting’).

Both raise the interesting issue of interpretations of Canadian history and the ways in which we define ourselves as Canadians (often linked to ideas of who we are which may or may not be substantiated).

While we all like to feel good about who we are as Canadians, we must acknowledge that elements of Canadian history are, indeed, not pretty. There’s ample evidence of past (and present) racism, poor treatment of indigenous peoples and Asian immigrants, women, labour organizers, etc.

I believe there is an obligation to learn about and acknowledge our past, for better or worse, so that we can learn from it. How are we to become better Canadians unless we learned what happened (and why it happened) in the past?

When students take my Canadian history classes, they are often shocked and they wonder aloud why they never learned this history in school.

They want to know. They need to know. We all need to know.

Occasionally I will meet someone who suggests that indigenous peoples should simply “get on with it.” I see this as an opportunity for a “teaching moment” because I realize most people do not understand the aboriginal land issue in B.C. I normally ask if they know that Canada amended the Indian Act in 1927 to prohibit First Nations people from hiring lawyers to pursue land claim cases. People don’t know that – and they should.

I could also enlighten them on other ways the Canadian government removed land from indigenous peoples.

Sometimes I come across people who use labels to suggest that another’s argument is ideologically based. My favourite is “you liberals.” Another is “Marxist apologist.” My teaching moment here would be to ask these folks what these terms exactly mean, then ask them to tell me how that label is relevant to the argument at hand. We have the ability to, and should ask these questions of ourselves.

I see no harm in Canadians accepting their past, warts and all, and learning from it.

When we try to define ourselves as Canadians, let’s really look at who Canadians were and are, instead of embracing some mythological idea of who we are. The danger comes when we do not know, acknowledge and accept the past.

Showcasing some of Victoria’s best independent musicians

at a music showcase with people who select music for major movies and TV shows. Where she spent much of last year on the road with Bells & Whistles, this year she’s more focused on festivals closer to home in Victoria, and writing material for her second album – “I’ve got a handful of new songs,” she says.

“Half the time I don’t know where the music comes from. Sometimes when I write a song, its my subconscious says what I want to say.

“I suppose I’m an analytical person and I end up writing about people, about what they do and why. I’m trying to write more abstractly, but whatever you write about, people think it’s about relationships.”

Somewhat shoehorned into the folk genre, she describes her sound as alternativecountry, with elements of folk with an edge, in the vein of her influences: Jeff Tweedy, Kathleen Edwards, Fleetwood Mac and Credence Clearwater Revival.

Macpherson has had enough exposure that people are recognizing her on the street in Victoria, or in one case on the ferry, which she admits is an experience she doesn’t expect. Still, for Macpherson the cycle of performing and writing needs to be nearly constant to build a career that doesn’t necessarily pay all the bills yet.

“It’s a balance between performing and doing things to keep up a presence,” she says. “It’s challenging.”

Live n’ Unsigned also features Rifflandia veterans The Washboard Union, the teendriven Royal Canadians and Emily Spiller, a 2011 Vancouver Island Female Vocalist of the Year, for the second incarnation of a show that prides itself on selecting musicians based on their live performance skills, not Facebook “likes,” says by Burley Music, the show’s production company.

“We’re all pretty varied in our having been discovered-ness,” Macpherson says.”It’s cool.

I’m really looking forward to it.”

P

erforming in a steady stream of festivals and writing new material, Steph Macpherson is a busy artist, busy enough that certain details can fly under the radar. Details like the fact she is headliner for a show, in this case the Live n’ Unsigned Summer Folk Showcase in Victoria.

“I just found out,” she said laughing during an interview last week. The 20-something self-described altcountry musician has been on a tear over the past two years. She released her first full-length album Bells & Whistles with Cordova Bay Records last year, toured and showcased her music across Western Canada into the U.S., and is winning boatloads of accolades from the music industry, and more importantly, the fickle fanbase of indie music.

Raised in Gordon Head and a graduate of Mount Doug secondary, Macpherson has her roots and influences firmly planted in Victoria and Vancouver Island. An active songwriter and touring musician since 2009, she is on the trajectory from emerging artist to emerging stardom, making a headlining gig at Live ‘n Unsigned less of a surprise and more of an obvious choice.

“I’ve been performing all my life. At four or five years old my parents had me in voice lessons,” Macpherson says.

“I was very vocal as a child, good at making sounds. Good on my parents for putting me in voice lessons.”

Vancouver Island’s largest outdoor visual art event celebrates 26 years

C

olour will be flowing on Saturday, July 20, as the 26th annual TD Art Gallery Paint-In brushes artists together again for a palette full of talent.

This year, Moss Street will play host to more than 180 featured professional and emerging artists from Victoria and surrounding areas. For anyone who hasn’t seen the community outreach initiative before, the strip allows artists to take their studios to the street to display and produce their work between Fort Street and Dallas Road.

The Paint-In is more than just a free gallery to walk around with the family outside, it doubles as an art awareness and education event that sees up to 35,000 visitors each year.

“This event really demystifies and encourages more people to try their hand at being creative,” says Maryellen Threadkell, Paint-In co-ordinator. “So many people have not experienced the most wonderful of learning situations when it comes to art marking, maybe in primary school, and they think that they can’t do these things. This is an opportunity to see different kinds of art, learn the processes that working artists use, and many [people] sign up for classes that these artists hold in their own studios.”

With a jury picking the final artists out of hundreds who apply each year by April 1, the event also allows participants to access a receptive audience (yes, you can purchase right from the sidewalk). This year, a mobile life-drawing class will offer models, sawhorses, paper and charcoal to anyone who wants to sit down and draw their way to fame.

“People can walk around and really see the difference between carving soap stone, marble and wood. And every paint and medium imaginable is on the street,” says Threadkell. “Honestly, the Paint-In gets better every year.”

More than 200 volunteers and participating artists dedicate at least 4,000 hours to make the annual community exhibition possible. While the show stretches from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. along Moss, the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria hosts a by-donation open house from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at 1040 Moss St., with a food and beverage garden from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and music from Kumbia from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Also catch the featured “New Extreme Student Art Exhibit,” a collaboration of works from middle school and high school students around the region, at Duttons & Co. Real Estate Ltd. (394 Moss St.) from July 16 to 25.

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 already bored with the summer’s superhero blockbusters.

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.

★★ 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 PACIFIC RIM -(Odeon/ SilverCity/Westshore/Empire Uni 4) Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth) helms this Transformersish epic about monsters that attack Earth and are opposed by giant robots controlled by human “pilots.”

This is a skilfully directed and highly imaginative tribute to all those schlocky Godzilla movies of old.

See review in the August Monday Magazine on newsstands now. ★★★½ STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS -(Roxy, 7:00/Caprice) 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/ Caprice) 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 -(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/Caprice) 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.

(Strip) 120713

RED 2 -(Empire 6/SilverCity/Empire Uni 4/Westshore) Newcomer Anthony Hopkins joins Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, Bruce Willis, and Mary-Louise Parker as they reprise their roles as retired CIA “black ops” agents marked for death by their own agency. Sure the original was silly, but it was also a clever black comedy that was elevated by sly dialogue and killer performances. Started Thurs.

TURBO -(Odeon/SilverCity/ Westshore) The latest from Dreamworks Animation is a family comedy about an ordinary garden snail who acquires magic powers – and the chance to achieve his dream of winning the Indy 500. With the voices of Ryan Reynolds, Paul Giamatti, Maya Rudolph, and Samuel L. Jackson. Started Thurs.

R.I.P.D. -(Odeon/SilverCity/Empire Uni 4/Westshore) Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds star in a silly-looking action comedy, clearly inspired by Men In Black, about a special force of “undead cops” who patrol the Earth looking for weird monsters to exterminate. Starts Fri. THE CONJURING -(Empire 6/ SilverCity/Westshore) An elite cast including Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, and Lili Taylor star in a haunted house spookfest about a pair of paranormal investigators who get in over their heads when they confront what proves to be a powerful and terrifying entity.

Starts 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 FAST & FURIOUS 6 - (Roxy, 9:15) 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 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.

GROWN UPS 2 -(Odeon/ SilverCityWestshore) Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock and David Spade reunite for more zany lowbrow shenanigans as these old pals from high school return to their hometown to find all sorts of craziness awaiting them. ★★½ THE HEAT -(Odeon/SilverCity) 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. ★★ THE LONE RANGER -(Odeon/ SilverCity) 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. ★★½ MAN OF STEEL -(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 -(SilverCity) 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.

Swimmers advised to avoid taking dip in popular lake

SALES END SOON!

Goose feces likely cause of high bacteria in Glen Lake Charla Huber News staff

High bacteria levels have caused the Vancouver Island Health Authority to issue a warning for Glen Lake. Swimmers have been advised to stay out the lake for about a week and VIHA staff will continue to test the bacteria levels throughout the summer.

When the levels drop to a safe amount, the advisory will come down.

Erwin Dyck, supervisor of VIHA’s health protection environmental services, said Canada geese are likely the problem, but ducks and dogs on the beach can add to higher bacteria counts.

“Based on what we’ve seen, the geese are the primary source of the high bacteria levels,” Dyck said.

VIHA began sampling at the lake in May and bacteria levels were low until the numbers began to climb in mid-June. VIHA staff use a mean of five samples to determine when levels get too high.

“At the beginning of July the number jumped up again,” Dyck said. “We haven’t closed the lake, but we are advising people it’s not a good idea to go in the lake.”

On a follow-up sample the numbers decreased, but VIHA still recommends people refrain from going for a dip until further notice.

The bacteria levels are low enough that people probably wouldn’t get skin irritation, but if the water is ingested it could lead to a gastrointestinal illness, Dyck said. “Kids splashing the water are bound to get a mouthful or two.” charla@goldstreamgazette.com

The Vancouver-based company will add 1,176 seats, along with some equipment storage space, for the price tag of $346,750. The new seating, which will boost capacity to about 2,400, will be on the Langford Parkway side of the stadium and incorporate existing aluminum seating.

Half of the cost will be covered by a federal grant and the remainder by Langford. The money is included in the city’s approved 2013 budget. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Enduro racing debuts at Hartland

SPORTS NEWS

Enduro blends x-country, downhill

Vike wins rugby medal

UVic Vikes rugby player Kehla Guimond (Stelly’s secondary) helped Canada win its first medal in a team sport at the 27th Summer Universiade in Kazan, Russia.

Canada defeated Great Britain 36-0 in Wednesday’s bronze-medal match bringing Canada’s overall total to 16 medals at the Universiade Games, up eight from 2011 in Shenzen, China.

Travis Paterson News staff

Enduro mountain bike racing is coming to Victoria for the first time on Sunday.

Co-orgainzed by Pro City Racing’s Scott Mitchell, the Victoria Enduro is a 15-kilometre race through the trails of Hartland/Mount Work in Saanich.

“It’s something I’ve been planning for five months,” Mitchell said.

“Enduro racing is really taking off all over. It was the first year of Enduro World Series and it’s gained a ton of popularity, especially with a lot of former and current downhillers.”

Enduro is kind of a new style of racing, a blend between cross-country and downhill. What makes it different is that it’s a head-to-head competitive race with elements of an individual time trial.

“We see it as something where cyclists do the race and then come back next year to beat their own time, or to race with buddies, or maybe to beat their buddies. It’s almost in the mindset of a marathon running event, where riders are trying to finish the ride to accomplish it, not to beat the field,” Mitchell said.

The race is broken up into six stages, three transfer stages, which are not timed, and three special stages, which are timed.

Victoria company Race Day Timing is timing the race.

The race starts close to the Hartland mountain biking parking lot.

Racers begin with transfer Stage 1, which they complete at their own pace, and should take between 20 to 40 minutes, with a maximum time of 60 minutes.

Once racers reach the first special stage, the race is on, and the riders are being timed until they reach the end of the first special stage. Then it’s back to a slower pace for the second transfer stage, again with a relatively relaxed maximum time limit.

Transfer stages are more cross

Kolk is also originally from Victoria.

The South will be coached by the league’s 2012 champion Wenatchee AppleSox coaching staff.

head coaches and fans.

This year’s event is hosting a special guest: legendary Major League Baseball general manager Pat Gillick, who orchestrated the Toronto Blue Jays back-to-back world series wins in 1992 and 93, as well as the 2001 Seattle Mariners, which tied the all-time regular season win record with 116.

The team is also hoping to break the WCL All-Star Game attendance record of 4,156.

of the race. But there was already 50 cyclists registered 10 days out from the Victoria Enduro, signalling a field between 100 to 150.

The Hartland enduro course is a fairly advanced and will be a healthy challenge for an intermediate rider.

Ideal bikes are duel suspension or traditional front-suspension (hard tail) cross-country mountain bikes.

The long-term plan is to make the Victoria Enduro part of a new series under the Island Cup banner with Cumberland and Parksville slated to launch enduro races later this summer.

The prize purse is $700 cash, to be distributed to the top women and men, with additional prizes for the elite riders.

Race time is 11 a.m. More info at islandcupseries.com. sports@vicnews.com

Local auto racer Bill Okell is on the outside looking in as the former champion of the annual GTU series at Riversedge Raceway in Mission. After winning the series from 2006 to 2010 Okell is once again fighting for a top-three spot. Okell’s sitting one point out of third ahead of the seventh and eighth races of the seasonm Aug. 3 and 4.

“It’s the competition getting better after years of success with the MGB,” Okell said.

His modified MGB is still first in the Sports Car Nascar Club of America standings, with a win in Sonoma, Calif., last week.

Juniors off to Callaway worlds Past winners of the Callaway Junior World Golf Championships include Phil Mickleson and some guy named Tiger.

It goes without saying the prestigious tournament, hosted in San Diego this year, is a major tournament for the four Victoria juniors on Canada’s 48-member team.

The Callaway junior world championship draws a field of over 1,200 junior golfers and is a huge week for college coaches, who will be there hunting upand-coming talent.

Representing Victoria are

Naomi Ko in the girls 15-to-17 year old category, and boys Keaton Gudz (13-14), Ethan Ko (11-12) and Jeevan Sihota (9-10).

Carrigan on Team B.C. Thanks to a course recordtying day at the Copper Point Golf Club in Invermere last week, Victoria’s Kevin Carrigan will be on Team B.C. at the 2013 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship at Royal Colwood Golf Club and Gorge Vale Golf Club, Aug. 6 to 9.
