Sculpting sandbox in the

Fred Dobbs, sand sculpting director for the Cadboro Bay Festival shows a model of his new piece for the community party Sunday at Gyro Park.

Top sand artists join forces to create giant installation at Cadboro Bay Festival Kyle Slavin News staff

Unlike most other artistic pursuits, a completed piece by a talented sand sculptor can’t be kept, hung or displayed for much time. And its longevity is totally weather-dependant.

Fortunately for the artists and festival-

goers taking part in this Sunday’s Cadboro Bay Festival, rain isn’t in the forecast, meaning the five elaborate sand sculptures that will soon take shape in Gyro Park will hopefully stick around for a while.

“We’re bringing in about 50 tons of sand because you need a select kind. We need an unwashed sand with a little bit of silt in it that keeps it all packed together,” said Fred Dobbs, sand sculpting director for the annual festival.

“The sand down at Gyro Park isn’t really conducive to doing a sand sculpture because it’s all worn and washed. Every little grain resembles more of a sphere, versus younger sand that’s more faceted and squared off.”

Upwards of 10 artists will spend the weekend brandishing shovels, trowels, spatulas and knives to make the intricate details to turn five large mounds of sand into works of art.

The main sculpture will be a massive, eight-foot-tall piece with an Arabian Nights theme, depicting one of Sinbad the sailor’s adventures involving a large ship and a whale.

“We’re always trying to connect the sculpture with something that’s sort of related to the park and the theme of the ocean. Sinbad the sailor’s stories are legendary for imagination and the adventures at sea,” Dobbs said.

for Saanich, says the sand sculpting is the centrepiece of Cadboro Bay Festival, as it’s an offering no other Saanich festival can boast.

“About six years ago I thought (the festival) needed a bit of a different focus, showcasing the park as a backdrop, to make it a little different than our other summer events, and sand-sculpting was a nice fit,” Phillips said. “It really is the jewel of our park system. People instantly recognize the Cadborosaurus and the octopus, and having the sand sculptures in and among those make it a well-known park.”

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF

Cedar Hill golf struggles to hit par

Two motorcycle riders injured in collisions

A 71-year-old Nanaimo man is in critical condition after his motorcycle clipped a car that turned across his path on McKenzie Avenue on Tuesday afternoon.

Saanich police say the motorcycle was headed westbound on McKenzie Avenue toward the TransCanada Highway when it collided with an eastbound 2008 Toyota Yaris attempting to turn left onto Burnside Road West.

The 1995 Harley Davidson motorcycle struck the Toyota’s rear passenger side, and threw the driver onto the road. He sustained lifethreatening injuries.

Police ticketed an 87-yearold Saanich man for failing to yield on a left turn. He was shaken but not injured in the collision.

A few hours after the Saanich crash analyst team finished on McKenzie Avenue, it was called to the 4500block of Wilkinson Rd. for another collision involving a car and a motorcycle.

A 65-year-old male Saanich motorcycle rider was taken to hospital with serious internal injuries around 8 p.m., and remains in critical condition.

Police say it appears the northbound 2004 Ducati motorcycle crossed the single solid line and hit the front end of the oncoming Volkswagon Rabbit. The 35-year-old female driver of the vehicle wasn’t hurt.

Alcohol isn’t considered a factor and police continue to investigate the collision.

Shots in the dark this Monday

The Department of National Defence is holding night firing exercises on Monday, Aug. 12 from 5 p.m. to midnight at Heals Range, near Willis Point Road and Wallace Drive in rural Saanich.

DND is reminding residents not to pick up stray ammo, and to call police in the rare case of shells leaving the range.

Operating deficit pared back, but public course faces stiff competition for golfers

D

oug Smith has been a regular at the Cedar Hill Golf Course for years – both on the links and in the clubhouse.

“I used to go to the restaurant every weekend for breakfast. They had a regular clientele,” he said.

“We weren’t totally surprised when they closed it down because we had seen how the restaurant had been maintained for years, which was bad, in our opinion.”

It’s been a year and a half now since Saanich made major changes to the golf course and clubhouse operations, after determining it was facing an $820,000 deficit by the end of 2012 if nothing changed.

Among those changes was closing the clubhouse restaurant and moving the snack shop upstairs, changing the booking system for tee times, and putting restrictions on the number of rounds passholders can play.

“I’d say we’re doing OK compared to last year. I’m cautiously positive,” Doug Henderson, Saan-

Kyle Slavin/News staff

Doug Smith walks down a path from the teebox at hole 7 at the Cedar Hill Golf Course. Saanich has found ways to reduce the course’s operating deficit, but it likely remains in the red. ich’s manager of parks and recreation, said last week when asked about the golf course’s financial situation.

At budget time earlier this year, Henderson estimated the overall deficit would be cut to $342,000 if it was a good golf season. While the weather has been nice so far this summer, it hasn’t translated to a surge in numbers.

“It’s not like we’re overrun (with golfers). All the courses are still feeling the pressure of the economy and just the fact there’s lots to choose from in town here,” Hen-

derson said. “We certainly looked at an improvement when we did budgets this year. We’re cautiously optimistic we’re going to meet that budget.”

Val Mieras, president of the Cedar Hill Golf Club, commends Saanich staff, namely Henderson and the course’s new manager, Carole Ireland, for their efforts to make the course financially viable.

But there remains one major hiccup, she said.

“They have to get a handle on the food and beverage side of things. They need someone that

understands hospitality management because they’re not taking advantage of this place at all,” she said.

Henderson says Saanich council will get a close look at the golf course’s numbers in September, once the golf season is over. At that point, council may decide to make changes to the operations or fee structure.

Smith, who holds a restricted golf pass, says the changes he’s seen at the course over the last two years have been superficial, and haven’t been to the benefit of returning players.

“It’s all been cosmetic changes and you don’t really notice them, other than some irrigation work,” he said.

John Scott, who was out on the course last week alongside Smith and two other friends, said he’s not seeing the value in the cost of the annual pass. “They need a better, fairer pass system,” he said.

Pass holders continue to pay more and get less year over year.

Earlier this year Saanich tightened the maximum number of rounds playable in the summer, and bumped up pass prices. For an 18 hole course, Saanich-owned Cedar Hill still has the lowest green fees in the city.

“If they carry on the way they were going – pass prices go up another five per cent and down another five rounds, they’ll lose more passholders, guaranteed,” Mieras said.

“We have a good thing here, it just needs a bit more change. The course is in better shape than it’s even been. I think Saanich understands now that if you want to attract golfers, if you want to make money, the golf course needs to be in beautiful shape. And they’re doing a great job on that.” kslavin@saanichnews.com

Crime rates in Saanich remain low Saanich remains among the safest communities in Canada according to crime stats released by Statistics Canada last week.

Out of communities from across Canada with populations greater than 10,000, Saanich ranks 241st out of 293 for 2012, with the higher the ranking, the safer the place.

Saanich’s crime severity index (CSI) held steady at 44.2 for 2012, a measure that adds greater weight to more serious offences and violent crimes.

For 2011, Saanich’s CSI measured 44.5 in 2011 versus 57.3 the year before, marking an overall decline in crime, a pattern seen

through most of the country.

The municipalities of Victoria and Esquimalt take the brunt of Greater Victoria’s crime, and ranked 32nd worst in Canada, but was an improvement from 30th last year and 17th in 2010.

Langford also has its fair share of crime last year and ranked

72nd. Tranquil Oak Bay (264th) and Colwood (241st) had high rankings and low crime rates.

Similar to last year, North Battleford, Sask., held the No. 1 spot with the highest crime severity index in Canada. The safest place, ranked 293rd, is Amherstburg, Ont. editor@saanichnews.com

Personal reasons to ride Family members battling cancer motivate Saanich police Tour riders Kyle Slavin News staff

E

veryone has their own personal reasons for riding in the Tour de Rock.

All three of the Saanich Police Department’s members have witnessed loved ones fight cancer, and all three have felt the pain of losing loved ones to the disease.

For Const. Doug Franklin, he lost a grandfather, two aunts and an uncle on his mother’s side.

For Const. Lisa Bruschetta, she lost a grandmother to complications from throat cancer. Her mother was also twice diagnosed with cancer – and beat it both times, and her close friend just recently completed treatment and is now in remission.

And for civilian employee Kevin Nunn, a British expat, he lost his father to lung and liver cancer hours before he was to get on a flight back to England to be with his dad.

“It’s affected everyone, directly or indirectly. Given the opportunity to make a difference monetarily or emotionally or physically, I had to jump at the chance,” Franklin said, explaining his motivation to ride.

The Saanich bicycle patrol cop has three kids, and says meeting families going through the emotions that come with having a child with cancer has put his life into perspective.

“I thank my lucky stars because

Arnold Lim/News staff

Saanich police officers Const. Doug Franklin, left, and Const. Lisa Bruschetta, joined by Saanich police quartermaster Kevin Nunn, are part of this year’s Tour de Rock squad.

I’m not burdened by the demands of having to care for one of my kids – who are all thankfully healthy. This is my way to give back,” he said.

Bruschetta, a mother of two, isn’t as lucky when it comes to the health of her children. Her eight-year-old son Dominic has neurofibromatosis, a disease that makes him susceptible to growing cancerous tumours under his skin or on his brain.

She’s riding this year to give support to families and health care officials who have given her and her family the love and support they’ve needed.

Your World On Sale

“I want to give families the same level of support I’ve received. Being in hospitals, being in cancer clinics and seeing how well they’ve taken care of my loved ones, I believe it’s a mirror image of what the Canadian Cancer Society is doing for the children and families who benefit from Tour de Rock,” she said.

Nunn, the equipment manager for Saanich police, holds a special place in his heart for Tour. For the past two years he’s held physically gruelling and financially successful fundraisers to benefit Tour de Rock.

Being named to this year’s team

as a special guest rider has been lifechanging. Visiting Camp Goodtimes in July, the camp for kids who’ve been diagnosed with cancer, reaffirmed to him just how good a cause he’s fighting for.

“Going to Camp Goodtimes and seeing children who are going through cancer who actually don’t realize it; they’ve forgotten that they are (going through cancer) because they’re having so much fun being a child,” he said.

This year’s Tour de Rock team is made up of 22 police officers, media riders and special guests.

The team will cycle nearly 1,100 kilometres from Port Alice to Victoria Sept. 21 to Oct. 4 raising money for pediatric cancer research and support programs like Camp Goodtimes.

All three Saanich riders say their experiences up to this point in their lives – as parents, as police officers, as former military men (both Franklin and Nunn) – haven’t prepared them for the emotions they’ll feel on Tour.

“I think that the riding is honestly going to be our easy part. I think meeting these children and families – their stories, that’s where we’re going to need to prepare ourselves,” Bruschetta said. “I’m a very emotional person, so that’s going to involve keeping my focus positive and giving out as many hugs as I can.”

“I’m a strong person,” Nunn added.

“I did 22 years of the British Forces, so I’ve seen a lot of trauma, a lot of pain throughout the world. But this is something different. This is about children. This is something special.” kslavin@saanichnews.com

As plans to make upgrades to Gyro Park are developed, Phillips says that might help Saanich grow the festival to become an actual competition ground for sand sculptors. While there is a People’s Choice award for favourite sand sculpture, the event is not a recognized competition – all sand artwork is commissioned and sponsored by businesses and organizations.

Festival-goers can go online to saanichsunfest.ca to vote for their favourite sculpture.

“All of the sand sculptors have competed at master sand sculpture levels. Almost everyone, including myself, has won a world title,” Dobbs said.

The event also features performances by the Victoria Percus-

sion Orchestra, Shag Harbour and Younger Than Yesterday. There will also be food vendors, information displays and activities for the kids, including bouncy castles, face painting and pirate-themed games.

Cadboro Bay Festival runs 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Aug. 11. Overflow parking will be available at the University of Victoria’s parking lot 5, and a shuttle will be on site to take people to and from the beach.

“This is probably the most beautiful location within Saanich. Even if you’re going down there for a day at the beach, you’d enjoy that,” Phillips said. “But you get to see worldclass sand sculptors creating these incredible sculptures, and all the activities are free.”

The Vancouver Island Health Authority has chosen one of its own as its new president and CEO, after conducting an extensive international search.

Dr. Brendan Carr, placed in the job on an interim basis in May following the retirement of Howard Waldner, had been hired by VIHA in 2012 as executive vice-president and chief medical officer.

“We were looking for a strong leader and we’ve got a strong leader, he’s actually proven that in his year

with us,” said VIHA board chair Don Hubbard.

While the board wound up sticking with the man already in the job, Hubbard insisted Carr was not brought in last year as the heir apparent.

The search process came in under the budgeted $140,000, he said.

While exact terms of Carr’s contract were not available, Hubbard said total compensation for the job works out to about $400,000 per year.

Carr comes with a range of credentials. Not only is he a medical doctor and an experienced emergency room physician, he holds a masters in business administration.

OUR VIEW

Health authority made right choice

D

r. Brendan Carr can now take the “interim” word out of his title as president and CEO of the Vancouver Island Health Authority.

Now in his third month in the job as head of one of the Capital Region’s largest and most important employers, the doctor becomes even more accountable for VIHA’s public and professional persona.

As such, he and the organization will be subject to criticisms from those who question things like his salary and the amount VIHA paid to secure his services.

As far as Carr’s annual compensation of $400,000 goes, it’s a realistic number in today’s marketplace. The public needs to accept that’s what it takes to recruit a topnotch candidate to this expensive part of the world. It’s a cost of doing business.

Likewise, paying a professional search firm upwards of $140,000 to assemble a qualified collection of individuals out of a global applicant field is not out of the ordinary. In an organization the size of the health authority, one relatively minor decision by Carr could recoup the headhunter’s fee.

Whether they are public or private, large organizations need to find leaders who bring considerable skills to the table, can hit the ground running and carry them into the future.

With years of experience as a medical doctor, and administrative background with VIHA and the regional health authority in Halifax, Carr no doubt feels comfortable in conversations ranging from patient care strategies to the financial pressures of running a collection of hospitals and care facilities on the Island.

He takes over an organization that has won awards for paying attention to diversity and provides an exceptional workplace for its employees, but is also tackling service efficiency problems in smaller communities on the Island.

The hope is that Carr will be a good advocate for the health system from a care standpoint, while also being mindful of the efficient use of tax dollars.

Obviously, the best way to reduce cigarette butt pollution is to step up efforts to prevent people from starting smoking and help those who have to quit.

In San Diego, Surfrider installed outdoor ashcans and gave smokers pocket ashtrays. Many places, including Vancouver, have banned smoking on beaches and in parks (the Capital Regional District defeated a motion to do so, citing difficulties with enforcement).

In Vancouver and other cities, some people have been pushing for a deposit-and-return system similar to those for bottles and cans.

Besides reducing litter and environmental damage, methods that also increase the price of cigarettes have proven to be effective in reducing smoking rates.

Some consider tobacco a sacred herb. It’s used by many indigenous peoples for ceremonial purposes.

With widespread use spurred by marketing, it became a costly and unhealthy addiction and a toxic blight on the environment.

Smoking trends in countries like Canada show that societal change is possible and – with education and regulation – people will do what’s best for themselves and for the world around them. editor@vicnews.com

LETTERS Reflections of Japan, 68 years after surrender In the summer of 1945, the U.S. military took strong action to stop the Imperial Shinto in Japan, which had been ravaging much of east Asia for years.

While the emperor and military were preparing people to fight to the death of every man, woman and child in Japan in an expected land invasion, the U.S. developed the ability to fly over Japan.

Unfortunately, the Imperial Shinto regime did not heed the lessons of conventional bombing of Tokyo, then did

not heed the lesson of the first atomic bomb.

John David Lewis describes the nature of that regime in his book Nothing Less than Victory: Decisive Wars and the Lessons of History. Lewis goes on to explain how a wise U.S. occupying force fostered freedom by ghost-writing a constitution that included strict separation of religion and state, and by pointing Japanese residents toward individual freedom.

For example, the occupation administration

directed Tokyo police to hire female officers. Honest Japanese citizens embraced the positive way and changed their society.

People should remember how malevolent the Imperial Shinto regime was and how steeped in its destructive ideology was much of the Japanese population (who were making the weapons, uniforms and other supplies for the military).

They should note the ultimate result of total surrender and American direction to a proper way of

life is 68 years of peace and relative prosperity in the country.

In contrast, six decades after the 1950s stalemate in Korea, the Marxist regime in North Korea is still aggressive – while people there starve, forbidden to accept food from relatives in China.

It’s proof that ideas matter and the defence of individuals against such forces as Imperial Shinto is moral.

Readers respond: Food sourcing, flags, socialism Concern about food prompts more research Re: Buying food from China not the healthiest idea (Letters, Aug. 2) I love food and I cook all the time. I am conscious of what I buy and read the label closely for every item I buy.

When I look at other people shopping in the grocery store, and their carts are full of complete junk, like Wagon Wheels or pure white bread and a bottle of Coke, I ask myself, why are they feeding themselves or their families this stuff? Don’t they look at the labels closely like I do and don’t these artificial colours or preservatives mean anything to them?

“Product of China” is a very common label on some grocery items. Just the other day, I went to pick up a box of peach fruit cups and on the side of the box it said, “Product of China.” When I read this, I placed it back on the shelf and did not buy it.

I hope more people read labels, so we don’t feed our children just anything. Ms. Nattrass’ article inspired me to go ahead and do more research, such as this article, at bit.ly/1etv2Vx. Kathy Kegalj Langford

Greenery takes precedent over flag in Saanich Re: Quality difference in flags perplexing (Letters, July 31) This reminds me of the Cedar Hill

Rec. Centre a few short years ago when I had to remind the District of Saanich to take responsibility for the state of the Canadian flag flying from the centre’s flagpole.

There is an ongoing waste of money on botany (especially on the parking lot traffic islands) when the centre is surrounded by greenery, yet there occasionally has to be a reminder about the flag.

Views, Aug. 1) A significant aspect of NDP postelection soul searching, following its catastrophic defeat by the forces of free enterprise, will no doubt have to be coming to terms with the need to move the party further to the centre, away from its far left-wing base.

The federal NDP appears to have decided to delete references to “socialism” from its guiding party preamble to make it more palatable politically and competitive electorally.

But merely removing socialism as a founding principle, without jettisoning its politically outdated doctrine, will not convince Canadians that the NDP is anything but a socialist party.

Politically, the concept of socialism has proven itself to be an abysmal failure throughout the

world, being replaced by more free enterprise, less government and less social engineering.

Confronted with that reality, the question naturally arises as to whether the B.C. NDP will be able to “jump over its own ideological shadow” and abandon its traditional stand on the principles of democratic socialism, as defined in in its constitutional preamble: “The New Democratic Party believes that social, economic and political progress in Canada can only be assured by the application of democratic socialist principles to government and the administration of public affairs ... including, where necessary, the extension of the principle of social ownership.”

Stripped of its defining political raison d’être, however, NDP soul-searching as a way of remaining a legitimate electoral contender is like taking a journey into the future without a road map and without a clear sense of its destination – always carrying the baggage of its political past.

Cedar Hill Rd., near Finlayson Road, and will be moving its offices from its current View Street location. Donor bequests have put the centre in the position to make the purchase and allow longterm stability.

The centre says purchasing the space, and sharing it with the Victoria Women’s Transition House, which is already housed there, will save it money in the long run.

After a three-year search for funding, the centre has also been awarded a $120,000 three-year grant

by The Vancouver Foundation, which will help the service provider become more accessible to transgendered people.

The grant money will be used to provide services for transgendered people, including a parttime position for a trans inclusion co-ordinator.

That worker will oversee community consultation, a review services and policies, organize re-branding, staff and board training, and create a communications plan with community education.

The changes are also being reflected in a name change, to the Victoria Sexual Assault Centre. “(The plan) came forward to us from members of the trans community who explained that they felt (lost) in the middle of services,” said Lenore Kennedy, the centre’s resource development manager.

“There were women-only services and men-only services, and while both … have always served transgendered people, it hasn’t always been a place of comfort.”

For example, a person who has experienced sexual assault as a woman, but has since transitioned to become a man, may not feel comfortable in a men-only trauma centre.

Trans people have been welcomed at the Women’s Sexual Assault Centre in the past, Kennedy said, but this change will allow for services specifically catered to their needs.

“The whole community really embraces this because we truly do believe in accessibility of services for everyone,” she said.

The grant money will be doled out at $40,000 per year over three years. The centre will open at its new location on Sept. 3 and will be closed for the move on Aug. 28 and 29.

Downsizing Diva Cathy Haynes knows all the tricks to cutting clutter.

The art of downsizing

■ DANIELLE POPE, NEWS STAFF

Downsizing is tricky at the best of times, as Cathy Haynes knows. It takes care, compassion and sometimes comedy. But whether helping parents or grandparents move, Haynes says the trick is to start small, and start today.

“Even one drawer sorted is a reason to celebrate,” says Haynes, who runs Downsizing Diva, a professional senior move management franchise in Greater Victoria. “It takes years to accumulate our stuff and, when you begin to downsize early, you remain in control. Don’t wait for a health or financial crisis or a sudden vacancy in a retirement residence. Start sooner and have your life be less about

or the ability to balance a larger home. One word Haynes’ hears a lot is “overwhelmed.”

But there is hope: it may be that the house is manageable after all when it is de-cluttered, she says.

“Family members can help sort and shed some of the clutter to create a home that is safer and easier to manage,”

stuff and clutter and more about the things that really make you feel good.”

Haynes, who is a certified professional consultant on aging, says that working with family members can be challenging due to baggage or conflicting ideas, and cautions that strong opinions must be tempered with gentle patience.

“Even a simple thing like giving away an outfit that is seldom worn can be an issue – every outfit or gadget we have bought originally held some kind of promise for us,” she says. “To let it go is also to let go of that promise in a way.”

Downsizing is often associated with a loss – either of health, a partner, finances

Riding along in my automobile Like a deer signal a forced march to dependence caught in the that we dread. headlights, I Stats Canada senior analyst Martin realize I am the Turcotte studied the habits of seniors problem I’m and discovered that 3.25 million souls writing about.

■ BRIAN KIERAN years ago I started Of that number, about 200,000 are 85 COLUMNIST the debate in and older.

Greater Victoria For me, one of the most startling about the assault on seniors’ driving findings in the Stats Canada study privileges. I focused on DriveABLE, was that seniors are shunning public a provincially funded, Alberta-based transit options. Turcotte characterized program introduced to screen seniors it this way: “Most people probably by way of intimidating and expensive consider accessible transit and taxis as cognitive options of last computer testing. resort.”

Doing more Given the research this popularity of month on the car as the I am the perfect seniors’ driving main form of specimen, a living, habits I realize I mobility only am the perfect a minority of breathing example of specimen, a seniors use the typical auto-addicted living, breathing other forms of example the transportation, senior.” typical autothe Stats addicted senior.

Senıor saanich

While most seniors have retired from the workforce, a majority want to grow old in their homes and take an active part in society, Turcotte concluded. However, “their desire to remain in their homes is not very realistic unless they have adequate transportation (and) in most residential areas this means having access to a private vehicle.”

The Stats Canada analyst suggested that most urban public transportation is not designed with our aging population in mind. “The relatively infrequent use of public transit compared with other means of transportation is possibly attributable to the fact that seniors, like the rest of the population, tend to live in low residential density neighbourhoods (where) public transit is designed primarily to meet the needs of workers (at rush hour periods).”

Two things are obvious from this study: seniors are addicted to their vehicles, and overwhelmingly reject public transport as a viable option to driving.

How we resolve this conundrum is beyond me. I guess that’s no surprise … I’m a senior hooked on my car and the last place you will find me is on a bus. ●

Saanich Senior The art of downsizing continued from 9

Haynes says.

“Adult children and grandchildren should be encouraged to remove any of their stuff that has been stored in their parents’ or grandparents’ garages or attics. It’s tough enough to downsize your own stuff without worrying about what to do with someone else’s stuff.”

While Haynes doesn’t force people to get rid of things, she guides them with her simple mantra: Do you use it? Do you need it? Do you love it?

“This makes room for the sentimental ‘we just love it!’, but deals with the ‘maybe it will be handy one day’ or ‘I looked great in that outfit in 1993’ type of stuff which we all tend to accumulate but have to say goodbye to,” she says.

For those downsizing into a smaller home, Haynes suggests the addition of “will it fit?” She also suggests PITCH (toss out obvious stuff), PATCH (get honest about whether you will ever sew that hem), PASS ALONG (to family, friends or sell) and PACK. “Recently in Calgary, a lot of people had just a few hours to get their most important treasures out of the way of flood waters,” Haynes says. “Sometimes, if we imagine what we would save if we had only a few hours – and a man with a truck – and think about the things that are replaceable, it makes it clearer.” ●

The Senior Life

Q&A

Pat Metcalfe was born and raised in Victoria. Her first months were spent in a cabin her parents rented near the ocean in Cadboro Bay. She loves life, her family, friends and making new friends. She lived in Saanich for about 20 years after moving from the family home in Fairfield where she and her husband Jack raised their four children. The move away from the ocean and her home was hard, but necessary after Jack was diagnosed with dementia. After Jack passed away, she discovered lawn bowling at the Oak Bay Lawn Bowling Club. She joined the club in 1996.

Each year she introduces novices to short mat bowls, sharing her love of the sport. Unfortunately, this year her lawn bowling season was cut short after breaking her arm while bowling in a tournament on her birthday. Being ambidextrous, no one will be surprised if she learns to bowl with her left hand for a lawn bowling trip to New Zealand in February.

Pat also enjoys bridge, golf, badminton basketball and ten pin bowling and is a great spectator of all sports.

Q A

What is your favourite Saanich destination or activity? Why? I had to learn to like Saanich because I missed being near the ocean. Now my favorite places include Tuscany Village, Pure Drugstore, Cedar Hill Recreation Centre, Gordon Head Lawn Bowling Club, Mt. Doug Golf Course, Tim Hortons, Galey Farms for their fresh berries and of course the beach in Cadboro Bay.

Q A

What words of wisdom have you strived to follow from your parents?

If you make a commitment, people will be counting on you so you have to follow through.

Q A

What’s top of your bucket list?

I want very much to walk in the ocean, I just need someone to take my arm to help keep my balance. I also want very much to visit New Zealand next year and to be able to lawn bowl there and I really want to become a greatgrandmother soon.

Q A

What is your proudest achievement?

My four children, four grandchildren and one grandchild-in-law. I was an only child, and feel lucky to always be surrounded by my family. For the last 18 years I have looked forward to Friday

night, when my kids take me to a pub for a beer and dinner.

Q A

What are you reading right now?

Because of my arm being in a cast, I have had to find books that are easy to handle. I am finishing a Harlequin romance at the moment, but my favourite books are by Maeve Binchy. I love to read. I love newspapers and have always read every word from the back to the front. ●

Magic in the making

BY TrAVIS PATErSON sports@vicnews.com

T

here’s something magic about Jason Verners.

The energetic 14-year-old has yet to hit high school – his family’s Langford house backs onto the greenbelt behind Belmont secondary – which will force him to break from his Simple Arts and Love summer tour.

But it can’t pry him away from being a full-time magician.

“When I booked 22 shows for my tour this summer I didn’t think it was that much but I’m learning 22 is a lot,” Verners said.

On Saturday (Aug. 10) Verners will perform at Rock’n the Bike Fest, the second annual festival and show and shine run

by Angels Choppers Bicycle Club at 950 Kings St. from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. He’s among a big list of performers with Wil, Steph MacPherson, Karen Fowlie, Jason Lowe, Neil Trett and Al Harlow of Prism, with dancing by the AC/BC dance crew.

Verner’s stage time is 1:50 p.m.

AC/BC is built on the positive mission out of restoring and upgrading bikes by inviting youth to put their creative energy into the bikes, while using music and dance as well.

“I’ve done lots of festivals but this one is a little bit different.

You can see these kids learning all these skills building bikes which is interesting and moving that they can use those skills for the rest of their lives. All the people from AC/BC have been grateful and generous to me and are big supporters.”

The past eight months have been a massive learning curve Verners said, and AC/BC was part of it.

Verners had picked up some awards in 2012 – third place at the International Magic Experience Youth Magic Championships in Las Vegas, and the Lon Dingwell Young

SOLID HANDSCRAPED MAPLE $4.99/SF

Magician of the Year in Victoria – and was ready to move on from small-time performer to selling out a ticketed event.

“Some friends and I created a show called The Magic Music and Make Memories Show and we wanted somewhere to do it.”

Verners attended a music show at Fernwood’s Victoria House Concert B, a glorified Victorian parlour lined with lawn chairs and bar stools for seating.

“It’s a long bus ride from (the West Shore). We’re just kids. We don’t have driving licenses. But I was so eager, we organized everything. I kind of forgot to tell my mom, so by the time I did I said, ‘Mom, we’re doing a show at a house in Fernwood.’ It was already set up so she couldn’t say no. It was brilliant.”

This is after Verners and friends made a frenzied 18-hour reconnaissance mission to Fernwood, including a two-hour walk from the Bay Centre to Vic High, their landmark for finding House Concert B. “Looking back it was kind of terrifying. It was dark and cold, it was November, kind of brutal. We’re just kids, we kept making wrong turns. I left at 8 a.m. and got home at 2 a.m. We wanted to get there early and see how they set up the show but we barely made it in time for the opening act.”

It created a whole new level of trust with parents Candace and Jim, though it’s mutually agreed that unescorted 2 a.m. nights are not ideal.

“We sold our show out in two weeks at $15 a ticket, I don’t even know how we did it,” Verners said.

Following Rock’n the Bike Fest, Verners is headed to Vegas for a four-day stint of shows. He’ll wrap up the summer tour in Honeymoon Bay on Aug. 24.

Then he’ll get ready for high school.

Tickets for Rock’n the Bike Fest are $10. Children are free with an adult through acbcbikes.com.

Guns is a blast

weekend

T

he revved-up actioner 2 Guns has been getting decidedly mixed reviews, with many of the naysayers in a grump because

By ROBERT MOyES this 44-caliber opus lacks thematic focus. Or something. For arts@mondaymag.com my money, this is an entertaining and stylishly directed slice of GAC – Guy Action Cinema – that is further elevated thanks to yet another great performance by Denzel Washington.

In this outing, sporting a soul patch, a slick line of patter and that irresistible grin, Washington plays Bobby Trench, an undercover DEA agent who has teamed up with a bank-robbing lowlife named Stig (Mark Wahlberg). Bobby’s ultimate goal is to bring down a Mexican drug kingpin (Edward James Olmos), but things start to get twisted when it turns out that Stig is secretly working for naval military intelligence, and that neither agent knows about the other’s real identity.

The plot really takes off when both men discover that corrupt bosses in their respective organizations are manipulating them. Unfortunately, by this time they have been framed for murder and various other crimes after hijacking $42 million in illegal drug money from a small-town bank. And so, on the run and still uncertain about trusting each other, Bobby and Stig have a lot of bad guys to gun down – and a damsel in distress to try to rescue – before the end credits roll.

Guns is a slick, fast-paced shoot-em-up that balances manly mayhem with macho banter. This is competent and clever genre moviemaking, with a complicated but comprehensible plot, a wide assortment of sneering villains, witty dialogue lobbed back and forth between the two heroes, and an innovative torture scene that starts with a baseball bat and ends with a big black bull sporting a bad attitude.

In terms of acting, this is totally Washington’s movie, although the likable Wahlberg does a decent, workmanlike job. Plus a lot of character actors shine in minor roles, including Olmos, Bill Paxton as a sadistic CIA bullyboy and Fred Ward as an admiral with a deficient sense of honour.

A lot of the credit should go to maverick Icelandic director Baltasar Kormakur, who resembles Robert Rodriguez in his clever, shoot-from-the-hip style and ability to work with a smaller budget and get every dollar up on the screen. Fast, funny and painlessly violent, Guns is a blast.

PERFECTLY POTABLE: fter all that gunfire let’s check out 19 Crimes, the Aussie blend of Shiraz and Petite Sirah (a.k.a.

Durif) named in mocking honour of the 19 different offenses that, long ago, could get an Englishman (or even boy) transported to the penal colony known as Australia. Big and bold on the palate, this is an arresting (sorry, couldn’t resist) wine with cascading notes of black fruits, dark chocolate and a lick of citrus. Flamboyant and lush, this stands out from the crowd of generic Aussie Shirazes and is worth the splurge at $19.

MONDAY’S TOP PICKS FOR YOUR WEEKEND MORE ONLINE: mondaymag.com/calendar

calendar FILM OPENING

WE’RE THE MILLERS -(SilverCity/ Empire/Uni 4) A long-time pot dealer hires a stripper and two feral teens to pretend to be his middle class family as cover for when he smuggles a massive load of weed across the border from Mexico to the States.

Starring Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston. Started Wed. PERCY JACKSON: SEA OF MONSTERS -(Empire 6/SilverCity) In this newest addition to the teentargeted fantasy series, the son of Poseidon and his buddies embark on a magical quest to find the Golden Fleece in order to stop an ancient evil from destroying the world. Started Wed. PLANES -(Empire 6/SilverCity) The same people who made Cars have taken to the skies with a similar family-friendly animated tale about a crop-dusting plane with dreams of winning a famous aerial race.

Starts Fri. ELYSIUM -(Empire Uni 4/SilverCity) Matt Damon and Jodie Foster star in a futuristic sci-fi thriller where the Earth has become a violent, polluted ghetto and the lucky few get to live in luxury on a floating space station orbiting languidly above. Well, that’s about to change. This is the new film by the writer-director of District 9.

Starts Fri. CHENNAI EXPRESS -(Empire 6) South India is the setting for this exuberant, Bollywood-style actioncomedy starring Shah Rukh Khan.

Starts Fri.

CONTINUING

★★★ THE CONJURING -(Empire 6/SilverCity) 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. ★★ NOW YOU SEE ME -(Roxy, 9:00) 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/Caprice) 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.

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. ★★★ 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).

TURBO -(Odeon/SilverCity/ Westshore/Caprice) 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. ★★★ 2 GUNS -(Odeon) 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. Lots of fun! See review. ★★★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. ★★★ 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 X-men flair with martial arts and yakuza elements. Directed by James Mangold (Walk The Line, 3:10 to Yuma). ★★★ WORLD WAR Z -(Empire 6/Caprice/Roxy, 7:00) 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.

IMAX

FLIGHT OF THE BUTTERFLIES -(11 am, 4 pm) ★★★½ STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS -(8 pm) KENYA: ANIMAL KINGDOM -(noon, 3 pm, 6 pm) ★★★½ ROCKY MOUNTAIN EXPRESS -(1 pm, 7 pm). ★★★½ SHACKLETON’S ANTARCTIC ADVENTURE -(10 am, 2 pm, 5 pm)

SCREENINGS

MOVIE MONDAY - Presents Quartet. Dustin Hoffman turns in his directorial debut with this droll and heartfelt comedy about a retirement home for classical musicians where the annual concert to celebrate Verdi’s birthday is disrupted by the arrival of a diva’s diva (Maggie Smith).

CINECENTA

Cinecenta at UVic screens its films in the Student Union Building. Info: 721-8365. cinecenta.com. ★★½ THE GREAT GATSBY -(Fri.-Sat., Aug. 9-10: 7:00, 9:40 & Sun.-Mon., Aug. 11-12: 7:00 only) Baz Luhrman (Moulin Rouge) directs a lavish, over-the-top screen but decidedly uninvolving version of

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s iconic Jazz Age novel about a glamorous and mysterious millionaire on Long Island.

Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, and Carey Mulligan. ★★★½ BEFORE SUNRISE -(Tues., Aug. 13: 7:00, 9:10) It is time for a second date with Richard Linklater’s (Dazed and Confused) chatty and charming 1995 film, which featured a couple (Julie Delpy, Ethan Hawke) who meet on a train in Europe and have a magical night together.

Originally meant as a one-off, the literate and very romantic Before was so popular that it has spawned two sequels.

WHEN THE IRON BIRD FLIES -(Wed.-Thurs., Aug. 14-15: 7:00, 9:00) The Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1959 had the unintended result of spreading the exotic teachings of Tibetan Buddhism all across the world. This documentary mix of archival footage and contemporary interviews with practitioners, scholars, and Western scientists explores the possibility that these ancient teachings can lead us to a happier and more compassionate modern world.

Rebels hope for home comfort Travis Paterson

Westshore Rebels defenders Tanner Rodinsky (No. 98), left, and Joey Cavilla (No. 29) right, force Langley Rams player Nathan Lund out of bounds during Saturday’s (Aug. 3) B.C. Junior Football game in Langley. The Rams torched the Rebels 69-10.

News staff

The Westshore Rebels’ visit to Langley for Week 2 was a painful follow-up to the team’s B.C. Junior Football conference opener two weeks ago.

On Saturday the Rebels suffered a sobering 69-10 loss to the Langley Rams. It dropped the Langfordbased club to 0-2 on the season.

Life does’t get any easier as the Rebels host the Okanagan Sun (2-0) at Westhills Stadium on Saturday (Aug. 10). The Sun have outscored their opponents, the Valley Huskers and Vancouver Island Raiders, 82-13 in two games.

Running back Emanuel Juma, a first year player from Windsor, Ont., scored the Rebels’ only touchdown against the Rams and led both teams in rushing with 104 yards on 13 carries, including a 59-yard ramble.

The Rebels slowed the bleeding in the second half, limiting the Rams to 32 yards rushed and 57 passed, down from the Rams’ 429-yard total in the first half.

Kick off Saturday is 4 p.m. sports@vicnews.com

Tigers tops in B.C. Reborn Tigers win provincial lacrosse title Travis Paterson News staff

Saanich Tigers players needed ice baths, a pair of borrowed pads and an overnight hospital visit during the course of the long weekend and it paid off as the club won the B.C. junior B box lacrosse championship in Burnaby on Sunday.

The host Burnaby Lakers had defeated the Tigers 10-9 during the round robin and took a 9-6 lead into the third period of the gold-medal final.

But the Tigers didn’t panic and, with a tip from former senior A Victoria Shamrock Neil Doddige watching in the stands, outscored the Lakers 6-1 in the third period of the gold medal game to win the provincials 12-10.

“A lot of players put in unbelievable dedication this year to make the Tigers as good as they are,” said head coach Brett Savory.

It’s Savory’s first year with the club. He formerly coached junior A with the Nanaimo Timbermen and Victoria Shamrocks, including the Rocks’ 2008 run to the Minto Cup finals. “(Jr. A Coquitlam Adanacs coach) Doddridge came and

Ethan Garland, left, Jordan Stringer, Trevor Hansen and Jake Benson celebrate winning the B.C. junior B trophy. tipped me off to something about the Lakers’ defence. We scored two quick goals in the third period and controlled from there,” Savory said.

Captain Ethan Garland led the team with 15 goals and 25 points in four games. He was burdened with leg cramps in the final two matches, which were both on Sunday, and needed ice baths just to finish.

“It was a rewarding feeling that hasn’t fully sunk in yet.

I’m starting to realize now that we won. As my last year of lacrosse it’s a good way to finish it,” Garland said.

Originally pegged as a Jr. A player, Garland opted to work in construction and play with his friends on the Tigers the past two seasons.

“These are my best friends, we’re all friends and it’s the first provincial title for a lot of them. We had a blast.,” Garland said.

Rookie Cody Short stepped up on offence and scored a hat trick in the final, with two goals as part of the third period run that won the championship. Sam Tschritter scored the Tigers’ game winning goal.

Earlier in the tournament Tigers’ goalie Cory Mayzes had been called for illegal pads and needed to borrow a pair from the Jr. A Adanacs goalie. Mayzes lost his only pair of pads when he was ejected from the Tigers earlier game on Sunday, a 7-6 win over the Delta Islanders. “(Delta) was the only team

we had really handled in the tournament and were up 7-1 with eight minutes left when they called a pad check on Mayzes. The pads were slightly too wide and we were forced to put Hodgson in net, cold.”

Mayzes had given up just one goal on 26 shots to that point. Hodgson, however, was sticking around despite being ill and dehydrated. He had already been to the hospital for intravenus overnight and was just able to stave off the Islanders’ run of five goals, as the Tigers edged them 7-6.

Derek Jackson was named MVP of the final with a hat trick. He finished the tourney with five goals and 14 points.

Jackson was also MVP the junior B All-Star game one month ago.

Manager Chris Jackson started the Tigers three years ago.

“We worked our butts off over (the last three years) making (the Tigers) a team the guys were proud to be apart of whether we won or lost. I’m proud to have been able to share in it with (the team),” he said.

Due to the cost, about $30,000, the Tigers will not attend the Founders Cup national junior B championship in Winnipeg, Aug. 19-25.

“It’s too bad, these guys could do it too,” Savory said. sports@vicnews.com

The Victoria Eagles boys team won the 11-and-under AAA-tier 1 mosquito baseball provincial championship in Cloverdale over the B.C. Day weekend, taking down the Abbotsford Angels 14-7 in the final.

The final was a rematch of an earlier meeting between the Eagles and Angels, in which the Angels defeated the Eagles.

But it was the Eagles who flew ahead early in the final and hung on with a convincing 14-7 win for the gold medal.

The Eagles had advanced through a tough pool with opening day wins over Rutland 12-1

Elliot Mitrou (Oak Bay High) played an exceptional match in net, making several key saves.

Defender Andrew Ravenhill also stood out, generating several corner kick opportunities for his squad.

It was the Highlanders’ first trip to the PDL championship and first Northwest Division and Western Conference titles. celona on Sunday winning his third straight silver medal in the 1,500-metre freestyle.

Cochrane was just 1.33 seconds behind China’s Sun Yang in
