Tourism ‘fact’ dates back three decades No data behind city restaurant claim Daniel Palmer News staff

An oft-repeated claim about the impressively high number of restaurants in Victoria is nothing more than a 30-year-old urban myth, says the former president of the local restaurant association.

Tourism Victoria’s website proudly purports: “Victoria is home to more restaurants per capita than any other North American city besides San Francisco.”

But the data to back up that claim doesn’t exist, said Frank Bourree, principal of Chemistry Consulting Group and former president of Victoria’s Restaurant and Foodservices Association.

“It was at a board meeting in 1983, and we were speculating about the competitive nature of the industry here in Victoria,” Bouree said. “Somebody made the comment, ‘We must have the second-highest number of restaurants per capita in North America besides San Francisco’ and someone must have printed it. But there’s absolutely no data behind it.”

There are 534 active food service licences in the City of Victoria, but Bourree estimates that number to be closer to 600 or 700 when food trucks, food carts and farmers markets are taken

“It seems to be a widely accepted and marketed proclamation that’s used by several entities in the city. The important point is that Victoria does have a high number of restaurants.”

– Heather McGillivray, Tourism Victoria

into account.

“That’s a high number per capita, but it’s a tourist town and that’s typically what can happen,” he said.

Discovering a real comparative number would require crunching the numbers from every major North American city, something Bourree doesn’t think has ever been done.

For now, Tourism Victoria has no plans to remove the statement from its “Fun Facts” page, said Heather McGillivray, director of sales.

“It seems to be a widely accepted and marketed proclamation that’s used by several entities in the city,” she said.

“The important point is that Victoria does have a high number of restaurants. Our culinary experiences are amazing here on the Island.” dpalmer@vicnews.com

Health officials downplaying seniors’ deaths at care home Norovirus sweeps through Selkirk Place Daniel Palmer News staff

Sharon Tiffin/News staff

Volunteer lay navigator Lorne Mackie is one of the friendly faces that greets new patients at the Alex and Jo Campbell Patient and Family Support Centre at the B.C. Cancer Agency’s Vancouver Island Centre on Lee Avenue.

Cancer centre gets community boost Lay navigators key component of Patient and Family Care Facility Natalie North News staff

Months after the B.C. Cancer Agency opened a patient care wing atop its Lee Avenue building, the 10,000-squarefoot space is alive with staff, patients and volunteers – those working one-on-one with clients and those behind the scenes, fundraising to optimize the services already in place.

When Wilma Taylor of the Order of the Eastern Star stopped by the Alex and Jo Campbell Patient and Family Support Centre with her fellow Queen City chapter members to make a donation on behalf of their organization, the person who led their tour of the supportive care facility was a volunteer lay navigator, a central component of the $10-million addition to the agency’s facility.

“I’m impressed,” Taylor said. “Everyone’s upbeat and

positive; it’s much improved from when I was a kid.”

Taylor, co-organizer of the Starlight Pops Choir Swing Fever concert held earlier this year in support of the centre, followed Lorne Mackie through the wing devoted to providing emotional and psychological support services.

The facility, which opened in March, includes a patient information library, a wellness room and a station for volunteers such as Mackie, trained to lead patients through everything they need to know outside of treatment, from the moment of diagnosis.

“We guide them through that beginning stage – it’s a bumpy one,” Mackie said.

“We discuss everything: finances, transportation, a list of questions to ask the doctor.

Our role ends when they meet the oncologist.”

Though Taylor said the donation from her Queen City chapter is relatively small – $4,000 – it makes a difference with chapters across B.C. and the Yukon contributing. The 146-year-old organization has donated to cancer treatment as far back as Taylor can remember, back to a time when her grandfather was

receiving cobalt treatment at the outset of the technology.

“The treatment they received (then) was very scary and now it’s more than hopeful. I see a huge change not only in the way the patient is informed, but the way it’s a family thing – when one person gets cancer, everyone wants to know and to help.”

Shaun Lorhan, lead of navigation research for the B.C. Cancer Agency’s Vancouver Island Centre, lauded lay navigators such as Mackie for bridging some of the shortfalls in care.

“What we’ve heard from patients is that we do treatment really well, but we certainly have opportunities to improve our emotional care,” she said. “Those navigators are really trying to understand from our patients’ perspective, whether it’s difficulty getting to the clinic or difficulty managing the people at home who may have their own health issues and concerns.”

These days, the wellness room is hosting an exercise study for patients with colorectal cancer and a yoga program aimed at managing cancer-related fatigue.

“Having that dedicated

space has allowed us to look at new ways of enhancing care,” Lorhan said, noting her next focus will be on how patients transition out of care, back into the community and into the care of their family doctor.

“Years ago people used to tell you you’d get better, then we were really surprised when they died. We weren’t prepared. Now you don’t even think about it for more than a few minutes because there’s so much hope,” Taylor said.

“Patients are not just a body or a cell, they’re treating the whole person.”

Initial funding for the project came via the 2009 Inspire the World campaign, supported by more than 1,000 Vancouver Island residents and business contributors. nnorth@saanichnews.com

Did you know? n In 2013, more than 5,000 people on Vancouver Island are expected to be diagnosed with cancer. n The B.C. Cancer Agency’s Vancouver Island Centre provides care to approximately 350 patients daily.

More than 100 people and 50 staff are recovering after a norovirus outbreak swept through a Victoria seniors’ complex care home earlier this month.

Since the July 11 outbreak, nine people have died at Selkirk Place near the Gorge waterway, but officials are cautioning they haven’t linked any of the deaths directly to the flu-like illness.

“Those deaths have not been attributed to the outbreak of norovirus,” Sarah Plank, Vancouver Island Health Authority spokesperson, said Wednesday.

The virus, which causes vomiting and diarrhea, may have been a contributing factor in the deaths, she added.

Staff at Selkirk Place have been following standard outbreak protocols and only 11 people remain ill, Plank said.

“That means isolating sick patients in their rooms and bringing them meals, rather them going to the common dining room, trying to limit visitation and doing lots of extra cleaning.”

VIHA functions as an oversight body in cases of contained outbreak, providing guidance and ensuring regular updates are provided to public health officials.

Selkirk Place, an independent facility owned by the Ahmon Group, opened in December 2008 and offers assisted living for seniors requiring complex care. Selkirk Place administrators did not respond to calls for comment for this story by the News’ deadline. dpalmer@vicnews.com

B.C. Archives paper conservator Jean Topham demonstrates a preservation method for aging leather-bound ledgers, in this case 100-year-old court records rescued from the basement of the Vancouver Law Courts.

From a dusty court basement to B.C.’s provincial archives Original documents found from significant court cases Edward Hill News staff

The old court records, handwritten and bound in thick dusty binders, belie the stories they tell – B.C.’s early cases of murder, celebrity intrigue and the aboriginal fight for rights.

The B.C. Archives at the Royal B.C. Museum officially took possession last week of B.C.’s earliest legal history in the form of ledgers spanning cases from 1897 to 1987. Sixty boxes of documents had been lost in time until a curious court records officer found them in the basement of the Vancouver Law Courts last year.

Christine Gergich started her new job as the appellate court records officer in February 2012, and fortunately for the historical record of B.C., she was already a trained archivist when she came across the trove.

“When I opened the boxes I noticed the vintage,” Gergich said at the handover ceremony at the museum. “I started looking at the index cards. There are some interesting cases in there.

There was a famous murder case – it gave me chills looking at the records.”

When found, the books were

coated in dust and grime, but much of the tidy penmanship is as clear as the day it was written.

Suzanne Anton, Minister of Justice and attorney general of B.C., and Frank Kraemer, executive director of the superior court judiciary, praised Gergich’s efforts to preserve the documents.

“It took the keen eye of Christine Gergich to recognize their significance. It was her initiative to take them out of the basement and have them restored to the archive,” Kraemer said.

Gergich, a 38-year-old Vancouver resident, called it “a collaborative effort.”

“I’m pleased to be involved with the ministry and the B.C. museum and archives,” she said. “It’s really important the citizens of B.C. have access to this. The volume of material is significant.”

The ledgers emerged from the predecessor of the B.C. Supreme Court, called the “Full Court,” circa 1897 and from the B.C. Court of Appeals which started in 1910. Perhaps the most intriguing documents are “cause books,” which include names of plaintiffs and defendants, summaries of the lawsuit or criminal trial and the judg-

ment handed down.

Among the cause books is the delightfully scandalous case of then B.C. premier James Dunsmuir (and builder of Hatley Castle) being sued by his brother’s mistress and his own mother, Joan Dunsmuir, in 1903, over his brother Alexander’s will.

On the more legally significant end of the scale, the books outline a B.C. Court of Appeal decision in 1964, which upheld an acquittal of four aboriginal men accused of hunting deer outside hunting season.

The acquittal was based on a 1854 agreement between the Nanaimo First Nation and the Hudson’s Bay Co. under James Douglas, and was the first time a B.C. court recognized a Douglas treaty as protecting aboriginal rights.

Anton said the sum total of the donation further solidifies that the rule of law closely followed the settlement of B.C. “As the attourney general and a lawyer and former Crown prosecutor I find B.C. legal history fascinating,” Anton said.

“What I find most compelling is that B.C. was settled by the rule of law, not by arms, not by force.” editor@saanichnews.com

Ross Bay Villa interior co-ordinator Simone Vogel-Horridge and restoration co-ordinator Davyd McMinn inspect the various layers of wallpapers used over the generations in the 1865 home. The wallpaper now decorating the drawing room nearly perfectly replicates the original design, seen at the far left of the covered display.

Labour of love unveiled Doors to historic Ross Bay Villa thrown open to the public this Sunday Don Descoteau News staff

Walk through the solid wood front door of Ross Bay Villa and one enters a foyer covered floor to ceiling in what appears to be panelled wood.

The floor, at first glance, looks like a tastefully chosen pattern of linoleum.

But from the moment a visitor stands on the stoop at this unique heritage home at 1490 Fairfield Rd., the illusions begin.

The front door and surrounding frame, which appear to be crafted from oak, are actually fir, hand-painted to look like oak, right down to the grain lines.

The floor is actually a thick oilcloth material, coated with 28 layers of paint, then handpainted with floral designs and coated numerous more times to seal the artwork.

The “wood panelling” in the entrance hallway? Wallpaper – handmade, primed and painted then “grained” using a

comb manufactured to create natural-looking imperfections, then clearcoat tinted to look like shellacked wood.

“We wanted it dead-on, completely right to the standards of the day,” says Simone VogelHorridge, the project’s volunteer interior restoration coordinator and a professional fine art conservator by day.

Such processes have been done to match the process likely used when the home was built in 1865 for the family of Victoria MP Frank Roscoe, she says.

In furnishing the home, even the family’s social standing was taken into account, Vogel-Horridge says. “Every piece of furniture has a story behind it. It’s not just anything thrown in here.”

The painstaking processes of painting, carpentry work and even gardening – evident to passerby for the past decade – will be described to visitors touring the property during this Sunday’s open house, hosted by The Land Conservancy.

Since TLC assumed ownership of the property in 1999, a “couple of hundred” volunteers have spent thousands of hours working on projects inside and outside the building, Vogel-Horridge says. She got involved with the project shortly after arriving from her native Germany 13 years ago.

The volunteer crew has become quite close over that time, she says, as room by room, the home has been restored to what is believed to be its original state.

“If we couldn’t come here on a Saturday, I think we would be miserable,” she says with a laugh. “I think we all feel very emotionally attached to this place.”

Lisa Preston, chair of the Ross Bay Villa Society, says the building is one of less than a dozen homes of its era still standing in Greater Victoria. It even predates Ross Bay Cemetery across the road.

“Originally when it was built, it would have had just about two or so neighbouring homes,” she says. “It was con-

sidered the outskirts of the city.”

Preston lauds the volunteer crew for lending expertise and restoration skills and passing those on to other volunteers, like herself. “(We’ve had) people who are passionate about history and heritage revitalization.”

Unlike some restoration projects, the plan is not for Ross Bay Villa to become a museum. The goal is to create a space that can be rented out by the community and be sustainable – essentially pay for itself, she says.

Sunday’s event runs from noon until 5 p.m. Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon will take part in speeches at 12:30 p.m., with tours of the building beginning at 1. Among the guests is a Roscoe family member whose contribution of a diary of an original resident helped guide the restoration.

OUR VIEW

Renewed spirit to Victoria’s tourism After lacklustre years of fewer visitors and declining revenues, Victoria’s tourism industry is finally turning the corner.

Having picture-perfect weather through July always helps, but take a walk downtown on virtually any weekend and the streets are packed with cruise ship passengers and locals taking in a continuous array of public festivals, restaurants and street food.

Successful events like the Highland Games, Canada Day concerts, Northwest Deuce Days, the Buskers Festival, the Moss Street Paint-In, the Street Food Festival, and further afield, Rock the Shores and the University of Victoria’s Congress conference have driven a renewed vibrancy to the city, and drawn huge crowds.

The beloved Symphony Splash and popular standbys like Beer Fest and Rifflandia are yet to come.

Tourism Victoria may have some creative advertising in Vancouver and Washington State, but the long lineup of festivals and events seems less a co-ordinated plan and more a perfect storm of an improving economy meeting an especially active year for the city, wrapped in warm, sunny weather.

These kind of downtown events and festivals that get people out on the streets and into pubs and restaurants is exactly what Victoria needs.

The city has worked hard to rejuvenate its image from a somewhat staid British outpost to a place where people can explore and have fun in the urban core, suburban neighbourhoods or regional parks.

Assuming the anecdotal boost in activity matches the statistics, this could be a renewal year for what was once a mainstay industry in the city. Victoria suffered from steep declines in tourism numbers and spending since 2008, and which has either remained flat or edged up slowly into 2012. Hotel occupancy rates, and the number of cars on the ferries between Swartz Bay and Tsawwassen have taken a beating since 2007.

But as signalled by steadily improving cruise ship numbers, our southern neighbours are starting to travel abroad in greater numbers again, good news for a sector that provides jobs for thousands of Greater Victorians.

Mainland MLA clarifies NDP position on carbon tax Re: “NDP soul search going nowhere” (B.C. Views, July 31).

Climate change is a reality, and bold political leadership is needed to address it.

During the 2013 election campaign, New Democrats put forward a plan to expand the base of the carbon tax to include venting emissions from oil and gas operations, capturing an additional five per cent of carbon emissions in the province, but that plan didn’t

include all industrial process emissions.

We believe government should work with the oil and gas sector to make sure companies pay their fair share for the emissions they produce.

This is particularly important as the B.C. Liberal government pursues an aggressive schedule of liquid natural gas expansion.

If such an objective is realized, it will be nearly impossible for the government

to reach our province’s legal emission reduction requirements.

New Democrats will hold the government to account for their green promises, and continue to advocate for policies that help reduce emissions and spur efficiency, innovation and best practices.

Spencer Chandra Herbert New Democratic Party environment critic MLA, Vancouver-West End

Readers respond: Left-laners, economy, E&N Liquid natural gas a boon for province When Premier Clark came out with her bold stance on liquid natural gas, many speculated how much annual revenue the project would bring.

Clark has stated the industry will contribute between $4.3 to $8.7 billion to government revenue each year by 2020.

Last week B.C. Ferries came out with plans to purchase three new vessels that it hopes will be powered by liquefied natural gas. Although this will involve higher initial capital costs, the overall life cycle costs will be lower.

As of mid-2013 about 138 billion cubic metres a year of LNG was under production, which will bring the total capacity to 500 billion cubic metres by 2018. About 86 billion cubic metres will be sold to Asia and 80 per cent is contracted for the long term.

B.C. Ferries’ interest in LNG says a lot about the overall demand for the product. We need the product at home as well.

With big-time players like

Exxon Mobil Corp., the world’s largest energy company, aboard on the project to export LNG (a move that would produce onethird of Canada’s current daily production), it speaks volumes as to how profitable this project could be.

Buying food from China not the healthiest idea Why do the big stores buy food from China? Because it’s cheap, obviously.

I discovered today that High Liner brand seafood products are processed in China. The fish could be Canadian, but the processing, the adding of the batter, is done in China.

We all want to know why cancer is on the rise, when so many billions are being given to find a cure. When Chinese mothers won’t buy the baby food made in China, that should give us a hint that something is wrong. Too many little children are dying of cancer.

It has to be the food they eat, or drugs that have remained in the family genes over the years.

Last week’s question: Should the province mandate that B.C. Ferries vessels be built in B.C.?

• Yes, it’s important to keep jobs at home (52%) • Maybe, B.C. shipbuilders should be given a slight advantage when B.C. Ferries looks at the bids (28%) • No, the province needs to get the best value for its dollar, regardless of where the manufacturer is (20%) – visit vicnews.com to vote

Canada Post decision makes little sense When it comes to stupidity, inefficiency and putting stress on its workers, Canada Post’s policy of routing Victoria’s intercity mail takes the cake.

It is not enough that their mail sorters in Vancouver have to process mail sent within Metro Vancouver, from Vancouver to Vancouver Island, from other parts of Canada and elsewhere in the world to addresses within Vancouver, now they get to sort mail we might send to someone across town in Greater Victoria. I hope they get a pay raise that reflects their extra workload.

I am sure all the courier companies that operate on Vancouver Island will love Canada Post for this.

POLICE NEWS IN BRIEF

Uninsured driver causes mayhem

A 49-year-old Esquimalt man rammed the back of a vehicle, hit a pole and nearly took out someone’s front stairs while driving an uninsured vehicle on Monday night in Esquimalt.

Witnesses heard a “loud bang” around 7:30 p.m. then observed the driver walking away.

The man threw the keys onto a balcony before retreating to an apartment in the 400-block of Lampson St. Witnesses led Victoria police to the apartment, where the man surrendered and was arrested. A small amount of heroin was also found, said VicPD Const. Mike Russell. The vehicle was also bearing stolen license plates.

Police are recommending charges of possession of a controlled substance, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, failure to stop at an accident, possession of stolen property and theft under $5,000.

A 33-year-old Esquimalt man was arrested after another man was threatened with a knife at Esquimalt and Admirals roads Monday night.

Around 8 p.m., a distraught woman called 911 and said her boyfriend was being threatened inside a convenience store. The suspect fled, but was caught near Constance Avenue by VicPD officers minutes later and arrested without incident.

Dial-a-dope operation shut down

VicPD’s Strike Force wrapped up a monthslong investigation into a “high-level” dial-a-dope operation last week. Police executed a search warrant in the 900-block of Bay St. and arrested two Victoria men, aged 35 and 32. The search uncovered nearly $60,000, a money counter, pre-packaged cocaine ‘spit’ balls and a large amount of other drugs. Both men were released on a promise to appear in court. dpalmer@vicnews.com

ips will be swaying and feet will be tapping as the Tango and Latin Music Fest comes to Victoria starting today.

This year’s sixth annual festival features a number of local performers playing in a variety of venues, with an array of genres and moods.

The festival started out as a showcase for tango music, but over the years the call for Latin music increased and it was added to the repertoire. Now the festival has come to include all forms of Latin music, from far and near.

“At our festival we really provide these opportunities for musicians, our local people to play with visiting maestros in tango music,” said Jill Waters, one of the festival’s founders. “We have some Canadians that are actually very recognized tango musicians. We’re no slouch in that area.”

As the festival grows, Waters said she sees the popularity of Latin music and dance on the rise.

“In the mid-’90s era it really started to become established and then it got a pretty steady stronghold ever since,” Waters said. “It’s got a very distinct rhythm to it and it can be really happy music.”

Centennial Square will see two days of celebration devoted to Vancouver Island’s own Kumbia, with special concerts honouring the band’s 25th anniversary. With its large ensemble and a variety of guests, Kumbia will get the crowd moving with its lively Latin rhythms. Other performers will pay tribute to Kumbia through performance and dance.

COMING OF AGE - The Way Way Back, a hit at Sundance, is now

playing at the Odeon. Supplied photo.

OPENING

SMURFS 2 -(Empire 6/SilverCity/ Empire Uni 4/Westshore) The blue munchkins are back for more pintsized adventures, this one involving a sorcerer and a diabolical kidnapping.

Opened Wed., July 31.

2 GUNS -(Odeon, Westshore, SilverCity) Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg play rival Drug Enforcement agents who think they are investigating each other but have actually been set up by the Mob … and now have to shoot their way out of a world of trouble. Starts Fri. ★★★ IRON MAN 3 -(Empire 6) An emotionally troubled Iron Man more than has his hands full with the diabolical Mandarin, in a rip-roaring adventure that mostly succeeds (but suffers from a tin heart). Starts Fri.

CONTINUING

★★★ THE CONJURING -(Empire 6/SilverCity/Westshore) An elite cast including Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, and Lili Taylor star in a clever haunted house chiller about a pair of paranormal investigators who get in

over their heads when they confront a powerful entity. This is an old-school spookfest, interested in atmosphere more so than splatter.

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. ★★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.

GROWN UPS 2 -(Caprice) Despite the name, expect the humour to be decidedly juvenile in this amiable raunchfest about the reunion of five school buddies, who have aged but not matured. Starring Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James, Rob Schneider and David Spade. ★★½ THE HEAT -(Odeon/SilverCity/ Caprice) 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 -(Caprice) 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 bombastic treatment from director Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean). Starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer.

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 -(Caprice) In this truly wacked 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). ★★ THE TO DO LIST -(Odeon) In this equal-opportunity raunchfest for girls, an over-achieving high school valedictorian (and virgin) feels pressured to have a variety of sexual experiences before she enters college in the fall, a task she undertakes with grim determination.

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. ★★★½ THE WAY WAY BACK -(Odeon) A hit at Sundance, this is a funny and touching coming-of-age story about a 14-year-old boy who feels ignored by his mother and pushed around by her overbearing boyfriend (Steve Carell). Also starring Allison Janney, Toni Collette and Sam Rockwell. See review. ★★★ WOLVERINE -(Odeon/ SilverCity/Empire Uni 4/Westshore) Hairy-faced and Adamantium-clawed Hugh Jackman travels to Japan to confront the diabolical Silver Samurai, in an entertaining Marvel Comics smackdown that combines

mon daym a

★★½ MAN OF STEEL -(Westshore/ Caprice) Zack Snyder (The Watchmen, 300) helms this occasionally interesting but mostly bombastic 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. ★★ NOW YOU SEE ME -(Roxy, 7:00) 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) Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth) helms this Transformers-ish 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. ★★½ RED 2 -(Empire 6/SilverCity/ Empire Uni 4/Westshore) Anthony Hopkins joins Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, Bruce Willis, and MaryLouise Parker as they reprise their roles as retired CIA “black ops” agents marked for death by their own agency. Although not as good as the 2010 original, this is entertaining enough, mostly due to the sly dialogue and killer performances. ★ R.I.P.D. -(Odeon/SilverCity) Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds star in a dismal action comedy that is nothing more than a crass ripoff of Men In Black. Bridges, who plays an “undead cop” who patrols the Earth looking for weird monsters to exterminate, should probably return the Oscar he received for Crazy Heart. ★★★½ STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS -(Roxy, 9:15/Caprice)

g.com

movie listings

X-men flair with martial arts and yakuza elements.

Directed by James Mangold (***Walk The Line, 3:10 to Yuma). See review. ★★★ 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.

ITALY: LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT -(Tues., Aug. 6 7:15, 9:00) Two Italian journalists have made a provocative documentary about their ambivalent feelings as to how their homeland has become unaffordable and otherwise problematic as a place to live.

Includes interviews with Harry Belafonte, Chubby Checker, Bob Dylan and Lena Horne.

Paranoia opens in theatres August 16th

Wolverine gone wild F

eral, ferocious and very emotionally unavailable, Logan (a.k.a. The Wolverine) is the most interesting of the mutant X-Men characters (to say nothing of what it adds to have Hugh Jackman sporting those sideburns and claws). In The Wolverine, which is the furry one’s sixth screen appearance, our misanthropic hero is living wild in Alaska. He’s tracked down by a cute ninja punk from Japan who tells him that the concentration camp guard that Logan saved from death towards the end of World War II is dying and wants to see him. Logan reluctantly accompanies the woman with wicked samurai skills and flame-red dyed hair back to Tokyo, where he finds that Yashida, a day from death, is the billionaire patriarch of a giant high-tech company.

Yashida has enemies, and Logan soon finds himself embroiled in a fierce battle as ruthless yakuza thugs raid the man’s funeral to kidnap his haughty granddaughter, Mariko. Logan finds himself on the run with her, and is soon embroiled in a complicated plot involving corrupt politicians and yakuza mobsters. Poor Logan has to fight gangsters, a swarm of black-clad ninja warriors, a diabolical fellow-mutant named Viper, his own inner demons … and his emerging feelings for the distractingly soulful Mariko.

Wolverine spends a lot of screen time exploring Logan’s inner torment as a noble warrior who has lost his sense of purpose. That emphasis on character is unusual in a superhero franchise flick, but it certainly doesn’t get in the way of director James Mangold delivering all the kicky genre trappings fanboys expect. From an astonishing battle atop a bullet train going 300 miles an hour to elegantly choreographed West Meets East fight scenes, the movie rockets along as it delivers solid entertainment.

Rating: ★★★ The Wolverine continues at the Odeon, SilverCity, Empire Uni 4, and Westshore

Woebegone at the Waterpark

C

Open Daily 10 am - 5 pm

oming-of-age stories are such a cinema staple that they can often be terribly predictable.

Happily, The Way Way Back manages to, if not reinvent the formula, then keep it fresh and funny with sharp-edged dialogue and several stand-out performances. The centre of the film is occupied by 14-year-old Duncan (Liam James), who is a heartbreaking mixture of misery, sullenness and anger. His parents are divorced and Duncan finds himself being dragged along as his mom (Toni Collette) is taken for a summer vacation to Cape Cod by her recent boyfriend, Trent (Steve Carell), a domineering jerk who frequently remarks that Duncan “needs to try harder” to make their new family work. It’s clear from the start that Duncan’s insecure mom pays too much attention to Trent and not enough to her unhappy son.

The next-door neighbour, Betty (Allison Janney), is a brittle divorcée who makes desperately breezy, often crass chatter to paper over the social shallow-

ness as various friends of convenience get together to eat and drink too much. “It’s like spring break for adults,” quips Betty’s teenage daughter to Duncan. Things pick up considerably when Duncan is befriended by Owen (Sam Rockwell), the bohemian manager of the charmingly dilapidated Water Wizz water park, who not only gives him a job but also steps in as a surrogate parent.

The script is more interested in character than creating big drama (although there’s a strong scene where Duncan finally stands up to Trent).

All the performances are believable, including cameos from Rob Corddry, Amanda Peet, and Maya Rudolph. There’s a whiff of sentimentality in how Duncan gets adopted by the quirky crew that works at the water park, but overall the very funny Back is an endearing and human-scale story in a Cineplex summer overrun with blockbusters.

Wolverine is set almost entirely in Japan, so let’s check out the complex charms of sake, that classic potable brewed from fermented rice. Over 1,000 years old, sake has flavour notes that can range from apples, bananas and melons to spices, caramel and chestnuts. But what sake lovers prize most of all are mouthfeel, elegance, and purity. It is often served hot, especially in winter, but top quality sake is always sipped chilled so that no flavour is lost. Locally, authentic sake ranges from Hakutsuru-Junmai Ginjo ($10) to Yoshi No Gawa ($18).

Highlanders in final four

Self transcendence takes over Elk Lake Travis Paterson News staff

Highlanders face Thunder Bay Chill today in PDL semifinal Travis Paterson News staff

Victoria Highlanders striker Jordie Hughes has won senior men’s provincial soccer titles with Gorge FC. He’s won multiple Jackson Cups with Gorge and the Bays United. He’s been to the Canadian nationals and to the NCAA Div. 1 Sweet 16.

But he’s never been this far, not at this high a level.

The Highlanders are in Austin, Texas today (Aug. 2) for the Premier Development League’s Championship final four. Kickoff is 3 p.m.

PST between the Highlanders and Thunder Bay Chill, an allCanadian matchup. The host Austin Aztex face the Ocean City Nor’easters in the other semifinal.

“It feels good. We knew when we started (in 2009) we could get here. I just didn’t know when it would be,” Hughes said. “To see it progress from 2009 to now, it’s an honour to be a part of it. In a way it’s hard to believe we’re finally here. And now we’re only two wins away from (winning the PDL).”

It’s the Highlanders first appearance in the championship final four and the team faces a big challenge as the Chill won the PDL title in 2008 and last appeared in the PDL’s final four in 2011.

Earlier this week, Hughes was up-Island for a significant

but short two-night getaway.

It just so happens he had already booked this week off for vacation from his job with the B.C. Government, mostly to celebrate the first anniversary with this wife. The team flew to Texas on Wednesday.

“It just kind of worked out.

To play soccer and be able to commit to things like this you definitely need a really nice boss, and mine’s a big soccer fan,” Hughes said. “Even if I hadn’t booked it off, he probably won’t hesitate to give me the time off.”

Hughes, 29, scored 30 goals as a striker for the Jackson Cup Island champion Bays United in the premier division of Vancouver Island Soccer League this season.

The converted midfielder has kept the striker role with the Highlanders this season, and though it’s a lot harder to score in the PDL, managed eight goals in 13 games.

That’s a dangerous threat behind the genius striking of Brett Levis, the Highlanders’ scoring sensation from Saskatoon, who potted 16 goals in 16 regular season games, plus three in the playoffs.

It was Levis who propelled the Highlanders with a 3-2 win over the Ventura County Fusion 3-2 on Friday in the Western Conference semifinal. Levis tied it 2-2 in the 60th minute, then scored the winning goal six minutes into extra time.

Gary Woodburn/Victoria Highlanders

It's been a long journey to the PDL final four for Jordie Hughes, right, who has been with the Highlanders since the beginning in 2009.

On Saturday Levis scored the only goal as the Highlanders shutout the Portland Timbers U-23s 1-0 to win the Western Conference.

“Levis scored three of our four goals and drew a penalty kick for the only other goal (scored by Riley O’Neil).

Obviously he’s been key to our success this year,” Hughes said.

“But it’s also the effect of having coach Steve Simonson. A lot of the players who are on the Highlanders now are from his (Highlanders) development team and grew up with Simonson’s system.

He’s been training some of these guys since they were 14.”

It’s that time of year when a group of newbies make their first foray into the world of triathlon beside a core of regulars who annually target Sunday’s (Aug. 4) Self-Transcendence Triathlon and Duathlon at Elk Lake.

Because of the warm weather this year, wetsuits, which are a popular item among triathletes, will be decided on as of 6 a.m. on race day. Triathlon B.C. rules dictate that wetsuits can not be worn if the temperature reaches 22 degrees celsius, which is possible but unlikely.

If wetsuits are disallowed, organizers will try to accommodate the competitors. Olympic distance registrants can opt for the sprint distance swim and all registered triathletes can opt for the duathlon.

“They know how (Simonson) likes to play. But if team’s are catching on to our style, he’s not just stuck on that one style, that’s been important,” Hughes said.

Recovering from injury, Hughes managed 45 minutes against the Timbers on Saturday and will most likely see playing time on Friday, especially if the Highlanders fall behind, but might not start the game. With 57 goals in 61 regular season PDL games, as well as being named an NCAA Div. 1 All American in 2005, Hughes’ balance of skill and experience is integral as the Highlanders look to make it through to the final. If the Highlanders advance the final is 5:30 p.m. PST on Monday. sports@vicnews.com

Judoka wins bronze beside dad, grandfather Mark, Jeremy and Max Grant made history at the recent 2013 Canadian Judo Championship in Richmond.

Mark, 62, is guessing it’s probably the first time athletes of three generations from the same family competed at the nationals earlier this month.

Mark’s son Jeremy is 42 and grandson Max is 12.

It was “very special for us,” Jeremy said, though he added the family aspect made it hard for him to concentrate on his own performance while he

the best result with bronze in the 15-and-under category.

“It was a privilege for me

to be part of something that my son and grandson were a part of and not to seem out of place to do it,” Mark said. “I was glad to see (Max) worked hard and kept going no matter how tough it was.”

Mark, a fourth degree black belt, teaches locally at the Kokushikai and Victoria judo clubs and hasn’t competed in over a decade, previously winning the World Masters open weight, U.S. masters and Canadian Masters. He came back just to say his family did it.

Jeremey is a second-degree black belt. sports@vicnews.com

Ryan Cochrane won bronze in the men’s FINA World Championships 800-metre freestyle in Barcelona on Wednesday.

Cochrane a man of metal Swimmer to chase medal on Saturday Travis Paterson News staff

Saanich’s Ryan Cochrane added to his world medal total with bronze in the 800-metre freestyle event at the FINA World Championships on Wednesday.

Cochrane swam the race in 7 seven minutes and 43.7 seconds, chasing down American Connor Jaeger in the final 100 metres to ensure his third straight world championship medal in the 800m.

China’s Sun Yang won gold in 7:41.36.

Cochrane, 24, grew up in the waters of Saanich Commonwealth Place, and previoulsy won silver at the 2011 Worlds in Shanghai, bronze in 2009 in Rome, bronze in the 1,500m of the 2008 Olympics and silver in the 1,500m 2012 Olympics.

Cochrane was ago-

nizingly close to another medal when he was fourth to touch the wall in the 400m freestyle on Sunday, yet was just 0.1 of a second away from silver.

“The touches aren’t my friend this meet,” Cochrane said in Swimming Canada’s release.

“It was hard getting fourth place. It’s a frustrating place to be but at the world championships anything can happen.”

Cochrane still has

the 1,500m to look forward to for Saturday. “(It was a) very interesting race – five guys in it all the way and it’s not that normal in the distance freestyle,” said Randy Bennett, head coach of the national team and Cochrane’s coach at the Victoria Academy of Swimming.

“It’s usually a two- or three-horse race but he could have been fifth ... to be aware that he had to go as hard as he did in the last 100 metres,

Cochrane accepts bronze in the 800-metre freestyle at FINA World Championships.

we’ll take the medal and run with it but you always want a little bit more.”

The medal is Canada’s fifth overall at the championships, and second in swimming.

University of Victoria’s Eric Hedlin won a silver medal in the five-km open water race earlier in the two-week event, which also features water polo, diving, synchronized swimming and a newly added high diving event.

“The field is getting faster and faster and I think one of the mistakes we made (in the 800m) is playing into everybody else’s race tactics,” Cochrane said.

Cochrane will seek a third straight year of podium finishes in the 1,500m freestyle event when heats begin Saturday. He has back-toback world championships silver medals in that event.

Kamloops shock Co-op Highlanders Stunning loss for Highlanders Travis Paterson News staff

An impressive and dominant season by the Peninsula Co-op Highlanders collapsed on Saturday with a 4-3 shootout loss in the semifinals to the Kamloops Heat.

The Highlanders finished second in the Pacific Coast Soc-

cer League’s premier women’s division with a record of 13-1-2, scoring a league best 61 goals.

It put the Highlanders into the PCSL championship semifinals, played on the Mainland last weekend against the Heat.

The game ended at regulation in a 2-2 tie, with the Highlanders goals coming from Kristen Livingstone and Liz Hansen. Hansen scored twice more in overtime to keep the Highlanders on par, 4-4, with the Heat. Jaclyn Sawicki then put the Highland-

ers ahead 5-4 and 6-4 with a pair of goals and what looked like a spot in the final. But the Highlanders surrendered two late goals and lost 4-3 in the penalty kick shootout.

“It’s our first year back in this league, so now we just build from here,” said Highlanders head coach Dave Dew. “We’re so young, our average age isn’t even 21, so we have a huge future.”

India Fest (Mela) Centennial Square

City Hall Downtown

Celebrate Indian music, dance & culture The fourth annual India Mela, or Fest, comes to Centennial Square Aug. 5 to 11, filling the air with the exotic sights, sounds and flavours of India.

This year the Mela has expanded from two days to a full week of free events and multicultural performances celebrating the richness and diversity of India’s arts and culture. More than eight thousand visitors and spectators enjoy the Mela every year but with this year’s expanded Mela, many more are expected to take in everything from traditional to modern Bollywood music, internationally renowned Bhangra dances, fashion, palmistry, the art of henna and more, not to mention mouth-watering Indian cuisine prepared with authentic and aromatic spices!

And as Victoria’s premier multicultural event, performers include local First Nations drummers and dancers, internationally renowned Chinese Lotus Dancers, powerful Japanese Taiko Drummers, beautiful Polynesian dancers, exotic Middle Eastern dancers – and much more.

Presented by the 35-year-old India Canada Cultural Association, “Mela” means “Fair” in the Punjabi language. “A Mela is an age-old celebration of life in India and it is an opportunity to share the richness of Indian arts and culture, create community partnerships and demonstrate a healthy way of life,” says association president Paramjit Bhalla.

Here in Victoria, Mela is a way to continue

those traditions, and share and celebrate with the greater Victoria community. “In growing up we had places we could go to see and participate in Melas, where people gathered to learn about one another, share food and enjoy art and music. Now we have those places less and less and they are much needed even here in Victoria,” explains Mr. Sehmi, an Indo-Canadian Elder.

Part of the Mela’s success is its ability to create cultural pride and bridge generations as well as cultures. “I love to go on the decorated stage in my beautiful clothes and show people watching how I have learned to dance. It makes me feel proud and good when they clap and I think that they like what I am sharing with them,” says one young Bhangra performer.

While in the square enjoying the many performances, be sure to leave time to enjoy delicious Indian treats, lunch or dinner. A full menu of Indian foods, prepared in the authentic way, is available at the colourful food booths, including butter chicken, naan, vegetable curries, rice, pakoras, samosas, papadam, plus barbecued Indian delicacies, chai and sweets.

Browse and learn from the cultural kiosks offering Indian arts, clothes, Rajasthani jewellery, henna hand decorations or learn about your future from the ancient art of palm reading.

Various themed performances, from classical

to modern, are offered from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Monday Aug. 5 to Friday, Aug. 9. Two full days of performances, with local and internationally known artists and entertainment, are planned Aug. 10 (from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.) and Aug. 11 (from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.).

For more information, visit www.iccavictoria. com or e-mail Mela co-ordinators Sunil Bhatia at ssrr4@shaw.ca or Sabba Sall at sallsabba@ hotmail.ca.

Visit Centennial Square Aug. 5 to 11 to take in Mela, featuring multicultural performances and a celebration of Indian food and culture.

An exhausted Lee-Ann Strezlow with the 1936 Bentley drop head on the 13,000-kilometre Peking to Paris Race.

Vancouver orthodontist Tony Strelzow and LeeAnn, his school psychologist wife of 33 years, put themselves and their marriage to ALYN EDWARDS CLASSIC the ultimate test RIDES recently, completing the grueling 13,000-kilometre Peking to Paris race through the most challenging terrain and weather imaginable.

Of the 100 competitors from around the globe driving their vintage cars, 25 dropped out by the time they had crossed from China into Mongolia. Over the 33 days of travel though 10 countries, two teams rolled their cars, there was a marriage, a divorce and a death which occurred when a British competitor’s vintage pickup truck was hit head-on in Russia.

Tony and Lee-Ann experienced such severe dust storms in Mongolia that they couldn’t see to drive.

Winds were so strong that a female competitor taking a shower was horrified when the temporary tent blew away. For much of the trip through Mongolia, there were no roads and they would have to skid their car across gullies, rocks, washouts and deep ditches. They would go miles without seeing any human habitation, but if they stopped, they were amazed that Mongolians would arrive on horseback within minutes. They had spent more than a year preparing their car for the trip but they weren’t ready for the enormous challenges ahead.

An article in Octane Magazine led to the decision to try something ‘new and different’. The first Peking to Paris Race was held in 1907 with a bottle of champagne awarded to the first place finisher. It took 90 years for the second race to be run. This year, from May 28 to June 29, was the fifth re-creation of the original race.

Two years ago, Tony and Lee-Ann’s international search for a suitable ‘rugged, sturdy and simple’ vintage rally car led to a dealer in the eastern Belgian city of Genk. He had acquired a 1936 Bentley drop head that had been used for rallies and had a strong

Peking to Paris Continued from Pg. B1

Second Baron of Dulverton. Years later, the Bentley drop head was purchased by a California physician who kept it 30 years before selling it to a banker in Portugal.

Tony and Lee-Ann bought the 77-yearold Bentley and drove it back to England where they entrusted it to The Priory in Oxfordshire, an old barn literally filled with priceless British relics being worked on by dedicated craftsmen. The car was completely disassembled for a year of mechanical repairs, upgrades and modifications. The owners then took the car for a long trip through the rough roads of the Scottish Highlands. When it passed muster, they shipped the Bentley home to Vancouver.

The car then went to Specialty Engineering in Delta to be made into a road warrior with a custom ‘cattle guard’ to protect the lavish grillwork and massive headlights. A heavy skid plate was installed from front to back for ‘under armour’ to protect the car’s vitals.

“We never would have made it through the dried river beds, sand bogs, rocky outcrops,” Lee-Ann says. “We took a run at them and skipped over one obstacle and then waited for the next one.”

Soon after leaving the Great Wall outside Beijing, the problems started.

The major issue was flat tires. They had 15 of them – four in one day.

They heavily-armoured car carrying everything needed for the trip including extra fuel was too heavy for the thin inner tubes. “We patched and patched and the put patches on the patches,” LeeAnn says.

By the time they got to Russia, they knew they would never finish without a care package including heavier inner tubes. It was drop shipped by their British mechanics and arrived just in time. “In Mongolia, people just wanted to get in the car. But in Russia, they just wanted to help us,” Lee-Ann says.

They limped in to the Siberian city of Novosibirsk with shattered front springs. They could go no further and would have to withdraw from the race.

A group of Russian mechanics came to the rescue to work all night. They salvaged springs from a Russian Jeep, re-manufactured and reshaped them at a local blacksmith shop and reinstalled them using a wooden broom handle for a shackle bushing.

“They were so proud when the finished,” Tony says recalling they just made it to the 7 a.m. race start.

“Russians have a history of keeping arcane equipment running by using ingenious ways. It’s a Russian solution but it works.”

However, when Lee-Ann started driving, the Bentley was all over the road. The mechanics travelling with

the contestants discovered the Russian mechanics had installed the springs backwards.

Tony says you can’t fathom how bad the roads are in Russia. They were built during the Stalin years and have never been repaired. “With the extremes in temperatures, there are car-swallowing potholes, huge ruts from truck traffic and sometimes the road just disappears,” he says.

But the Tony and Lee-Ann remember each day as a fabulous adventure. “The countryside was gobsmacking beautiful with the highlight being Mongolia with its open terrain and untouched wilderness,” Tony says.

Going through the Swiss Alps, rally organizers had mapped out up to seven major mountain passes a day and drivers travelled on steep cobblestone paths that hadn’t been used in years. “Tony would drive through the hairpin turns as I had my head out of the window above the roof to see what was ahead,” Lee-Ann says. They would often drive from 6:30 in the morning until 7 at night with only a fuel stop.

“At home, there are so many outside influences like the phone and work. The magnificent aspect of the rally is that you have to live in the moment and all your focus goes to one thing. Then on to the next things,” she says.

They say the camaraderie developed with fellow competitors was more intense than they ever imagined. They

Russian mechanics worked all night to install springs from a Russian Jeep so Tony and Lee-Ann Strezlow could continue the Peking to Paris Race in their 1936 Bentley drop head.

were rewarded after crossing the finish line at Place Vendome in Paris. They placed first in their class, first for the European leg of the rally and fourth overall.

Tony and Lee-Ann’s venerable Bentley has been returned to The Priory in Oxfordshire for refurbishing. They are now answering emails from their Paris to Peking friends from 33 countries worldwide who are planning the next auto rallying adventure. “You only have one life. We want to go out kicking and screaming,” Lee-Ann says.

B.C. Day originated in 1974 as Bill 61 by the Hon. Ernie Hall, Provincial Secretary under Premier Dave Barrett. The explanatory notes state: “The purposes of this Bill is to recognize the pioneers of British Columbia by declaring the first Monday of August in each year to be a public holiday known as British Columbia Day.” Debate transcripts noted that, “By coincidence, an Act to provide to the Government of British Columbia, which changed us from the Colony of British Columbia, was passed by Parliament in the United Kingdom on August 2, 1858....

2014 Chevrolet Impala receives five-star safety score Redesigned flagship sedan also offers safety firsts for Chevrolet Metroland Media WheelsTalk.com

The 2014 Chevrolet Impala has received the highest possible fivestar Overall Vehicle Score for safety as part of the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s New Car Assessment Program.

Built in Canada, the redesigned, full-size sedan presents one of the most comprehensive collections of standard and available safety features in the segment.

It employs advanced technologies – including radar – to help avoid crashes.

Visual and audible alerts, depending on the alert feature, help drivers identify potential crash situations and even intervene when a crash threat appears more imminent. The alerts are designed to identify potential threats with sufficient warning to give the driver time to react and make changes.

ANNOUNCEMENT Is now your exclusive dealer for Vancouver Island.

warns the driver of vehicles in traffic when backing out of a parking spot – including angled parking. Visual and audible alerts are triggered if moving vehicles are detected.

• Rear vision camera with dynamic guidelines – With a display in the center stack infotainment system, the camera provides a view of objects directly behind the Impala, while the dynamic guidelines provide a reference that helps make parking and other maneuvers easier.

• Ultrasonic rear park assist – Uses sensors in the rear bumper to detect objects directly behind the vehicle and alerts the driver.

• Brake pre-fill feature – To quicken the response time of the brakes and help shorten stopping distances, this features “loads” the brake calipers in anticipation of hard braking by slightly increasing the hydraulic pressure in the brake lines whenever the driver lifts off the accelerator pedal. This feature is included on models equipped with adaptive cruise control and collision mitigation braking.

The available safety features and benefits include: • Full-speed-range adaptive cruise control – Radar technology senses traffic in front of the Impala to adjust vehicle speed, including stopping the vehicle in heavy traffic and accelerating again. It is the first application in a Chevrolet.

• Collision mitigation braking – Another Chevy first: Radar technology detects a possible crash threat and alerts the driver.

If the driver does not appear to react quickly enough or doesn’t react at all, this feature intervenes to apply the brakes in an effort to avoid the crash.

• Forward collision alert – Camera technology detects a possible crash threat and alerts the driver, giving him or her time to stop and/or change course.

• Lane departure warning – A camerabased lane detection system warns the driver of unsignaled lane changes. The camera, mounted near the inside rearview mirror, identifies traffic lane markings and provides audible alerts.

• Side blind zone alert – Using radar sensors on both sides of the vehicle, the system “looks” for other vehicles in the blind zone areas of the Impala and indicates their presence with light-emitting diode, or LED-lit symbols in the outside mirrors.

• Rear cross traffic alert – Based on the radar sensors of side blind zone alert, it

Impala also employs systems that enable greater vehicle control, including standard StabiliTrak electronic stability control system, all-speed traction control, four-wheel disc brakes with four-channel antilock brakes and electronic brake force distribution, which ensures optimal braking force at both axles for maximum stability under heavy braking.

OnStar is standard. It uses GPS and cellular phone technology to automatically call for help in the event of crash. OnStar service also includes MyLink mobile apps, which offer vehicle information and OnStar services via the customer’s smartphone.

Sooke Fire Rescue marks centennial with fire truck parade, antique car show The Sooke Fire Rescue Service is marking its centennial with 100th anniversary celebrations Aug. 24.

The day’s activities include a fire truck and emergency vehicle parade, a chance to see the Victoria Fire Department’s historic steamer in action, an antique vehicle show and shine (all vehicles welcome), a family picnic, food concession, inflatable games and kids’ events.

Admission is free to the day’s events at John Phillips Memorial Park on Otter Point Road.

For more information or to enter a emergency vehicle in the parade, or information about the show and shine, contact Chief Steve Sorensen at 250-642-5422 or email to ssorensen@sooke.ca

World-class safety, support features coming to all-new Volvo XC90 Volvo Car Group has revealed a number of user-friendly safety and support technologies that will be introduced in the all-new Volvo XC90 at the end of 2014.

The new technologies for the upcoming Volvo XC90 will be tested by a number of international media representatives this summer.

The technologies are: • Pedestrian Detection in darkness. A world first that makes the detection and auto brake technology work effectively also when driving in darkness. The technology includes detection and auto brake for other vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.

• Road edge and barrier detection with steer assist. A feature that detects if the car is about to drive off the road and autonomously applies steering torque to bring the vehicle back on track. Being able to monitor where the physical road ends is a world first. This means that the technology also works on

roads without side markings.

• Adaptive Cruise Control with steer assist.

A technology that helps the driver stay in the lane and follow the rhythm of the traffic. The new system automatically follows the vehicle ahead.

Collision mitigation for animals is a world first that detects and automatically brakes for animals both in daylight and in the dark.

The technology, which is designed to help the driver avoid accidents or reduce the speed of impact, will be introduced some time after the all-new XC90 arrives by the end of 2014.

Autonomous Parking is a Volvo concept technology that allows a car to find and park in a vacant space by itself, allowing the driver to leave the vehicle at the entrance to the car park. Combining autonomous driving with detection and auto brake for other objects makes it possible for the car to interact safely with other cars and pedestrians in the car park.
