o3mega extra strength Skin integrity; vision; cardiovascular health; nervous system support; efficient digestion; nutrient absorption; cognitive function: Omega-3 fatty acids aren’t just helpful for our body’s structure and function, they are daily essentials, and we rely on dietary sources to get enough. Adequate amounts aren’t always available through diet alone, which is why supplementing with an Omega-3 is the best insurance for our overall health. Omega-3 fatty acids are integral to our health and well being – and are an important component of every cell in our body. Research has proven that Omega-3 from wild fish oils, like those in o3mega+ extra strength provide the best source of EPA and DHA for a healthier heart, brain, skin, mood, joints and more. In fact, 2 studies were conducted on o3mega+ extra strength indicating the benefits of Omega 3s on cardiovascular health and lean body mass! Genuine Health helped to pioneer the fish oil industry in Canada, bringing the o3mega line to market as some of the first fish oils to be formulated with specific concentrations of EPA and DHA. We recognized early on that fish oils and their key fatty acids were not one size fits all ingredients, so we worked to ensure consumers from all walks of life with particular health concerns had a product right for them. Our Omega-3 Superior Quality 5 Point Program certifies our commitment to you: superior Omega-3 fish oils that meet and exceed quality, freshness and purity standards, while offering the highest EPA and DHA potency on the market today.

Large meals take 2-3 hours to digest and should be consumed well before activity. During exercise the body uses muscle glycogen stores for energy. Taking in an easy to digest carbohydrate snack 30 minutes before exercise helps to conserve muscle glycogen store for increased endurance.
SUPPLEMENTATION TO CONSIDER
Crackers
Luc Bergeron started harvesting
FUELING BEFORE EXERCISE
The first hour after a work-out is a window for replenishing your body, and a snack consisting of carbohydrate plus protein should be consumed. Carbohydrates replenish muscle glycogen for increased endurance and protein supports muscle repair. Some examples include banana and nut butter, a protein smoothie, trail mix or yogurt.

Staying hydrated is critical to performance and helps to prevent dehydration, heat exhaustion and lactic acid build up. Start with drinking lots of water in the days leading up to a race and stay well hydrated leading up to activity. During activities 1 hour or shorter, water is usually sufficient and it is recommended to take in 3-6 ounces every 15min. For activities longer than 1 hour, a sports drink consisting of carbs and electrolytes are generally recommended.

Labour Day and everyday
Promoting quality healthcare through safe staffing
hts A CHILD STAR Chadwick was born in Sterling, Scotland, but moved with her family to Birmingham, England when she was five. At 11, she was encouraged to audition for the Central Junior Television Workshop, essentially a talent pool for British TV and film, and was one of the few children from across the country who was accepted. She spent eight years training and working alongside the Royal Shakespeare Company, Sadler Wells Ballet Company and even won a Fringe First award at the Edinburgh Festival. She also studied performing arts and dance at Joseph Chamberlin College but after a dance injury in her teens she decided to focus on TV. She soon found herself playing Tina Dingle on Emmerdale for four years, followed by a five-year stint on Coronation Street – where she won a National Television Award in 2001. It was on set at Coronation Street that she met, and quickly fell in love with, her husband, Simon, who was supplementing his income as a firefighter by working part time on the crew. That’s when Chadwick (née Pirie) caught her first glimpse. “I thought, ‘Oh my God, he’s lovely.’ I asked his name but he didn’t answer and ran away really fast. I called out for him to leave his number at the desk. … From there, I found him, stalked him and interviewed him. We were married three months later.” Chadwick told the press office at Coronation Street they planned to marry at Disney World in Florida, but the two actually escaped to Scotland and got married in private, with two strangers as witnesses. Their son was born later that year, Chadwick left the show and they started a new life together. Chadwick opened 17 performing arts academies across the U.K., inspired to pass on the valuable knowledge she gained from her extensive training and work experience. She also started a successful casting agency. “We ended up with some really talented kids,” she says.
She closed the European schools when the family decided to make the move to Canada. After four years in Campbell River, they’re ready to make the transition to the Capital.
THE ACADEMY Classes at the new Jacqueline Chadwick Academy of Performing Arts begin in September. Chadwick offers classes for children ages six to10 (Budding Stars), 11 to 16 (The Workshop) and a professional theatre company for adults older than 17 (The Jacqueline Chadwick Theatre Company). All classes are taught by Chadwick herself and are located at the Intrepid Theatre Club (1609 Blanshard). The classes focus on a range of media and incorporate acting, singing and dancing to provide a comprehensive learning experience. Each group will have at least one original performance per session. Chadwick writes and choreographs the plays herself, with the help of her students. “If they’re inspired by something, we incorporate it into the show. It’s the best thing because they’re passionate about it.” Her past plays have focused on bullying, technology, reality TV and other topics relevant to today’s youth. Chadwick’s former vocal coach, Mark Shields, now lives in Vancouver and she plans to collaborate with him as well. “I want to give my students every nugget of information I’ve learned over the years and present it in an accessible way so everyone can benefit,” she says. “All the kids I teach could go into performance and be successful, however, even if they don’t they can use the skills I teach them in any area of their lives.” Check it out at jcacademyofperformingarts.com.

Blue Bridge COMEDY FESTIVAL
he Blue Bridge is soon to be a just a ghost in Victoria’s Inner Harbour, but if Vancouver-based comic Dan Quinn has anything to say about it, its legacy will live on. Quinn is gearing up for the second annual Blue Bridge Comedy Festival, Sept. 24-29, a bigger and better version of the festival that kept Victorians laughing for a week straight last September. The pinnacle of last year’s festival was the gala show, hosted by Brent Butt and featuring Mark Maron, Nikki Payne, Damonde Tschritter, Rob Pue and Paul Myrehaug at the Archie Browning Sports Centre. But Quinn decided to take a different approach this time around. Instead of one big show with a large capacity, this year’s festival offers many shows, in smaller, more intimate venues. Lucky Bar, the Copper Owl, Esquimalt High, The Victoria Event Centre, Ecole Victor Brodeur, Hecklers, Upstairs Cabaret, Club 9one9 and the Fleet Club are all hosting shows this time around. Venues range from a few dozen seats to a few hundred. And the shows range in content, too. “I tailored the shows to the crowd a bit,” says Quinn. “I wanted the festival to appeal to different people and wanted to give everybody a show they can go see. There are so many different styles of comedy. A 65-year-old couple and a 19-yearold kid will like different things. For example, the Big Show is the biggest names, people you see on TV, while the Dark and Dirty
BRENT BUTT Show is more edgy. If you’re married with a couple of kids, this show probably isn’t the one for you. If you don’t want to be offended, we’ve got shows for you, too.” There’s the Fairly Clean Show, Ratfish Lounge, the Best of Victoria Show, the Young Guns, the Out and About Show, podcast tapings, a headliner series featuring the likes of Mike Wilmot, Pete Zedlacher, John Heffron, Brian Posehn and Elvira Kurt and even a nightly talk show, hosted by actor, comic and creator of CTV’s hit sitcom Corner Gas, Brent Butt. “I hosted the gala show last year and I was envious of all the guys who got to hang around all week and see the other shows. It’s a really fun festival with a great crowd,” says Butt. Butt’s nightly talk show at the Victoria Event Centre will feature some standup, some prepared bits and some different comedic guests each night, but most of the show will be off the cuff. “Long before Corner Gas, I used to do a live talk

DAN QUINN show at a club in Vancouver. It was 90 to 120 minutes with a loose framework. Out of necessity it’s improvised. I just don’t know what’s going to happen,” he says. “It’s always a lot of fun. The format allows for fun for the audience and the performers. It’s a hybrid between a talk show and a TV show.” The best part, says Butt, is that it’s in such a small room. “There’s nothing that compares to playing a small venue. While there’s magic in playing a big theatre, a small venue with a low ceiling and 200 people — that’s ideal.” For more information, a full schedule and artist profiles, visit bluebridgecomedyfestival.com.

Marilyn Forever
From renowned British composer Gavin Bryars, with libretto by Metchosin author and poet, Marilyn Bowering, Marilyn Forever is based on aspects of the life of actress Marilyn Monroe. Monroe is often looked at as either a sex object, victim or fantasy. Throughout this work we are given a combination of her sensitivity and exhibitionism, as well as a view from the “inside” of her conflicting emotions and ambitions. September 13 and 14 at 8 p.m. at the McPherson Theatre. Tickets are available at the McPherson box office.
Red Green’s How To Do Everything Tour
After a successful run of 139 shows throughout Canada and the US on his Wit and Wisdom Tour, Red Green is back in theatres across North America with a brand new show – How To Do Everything – from the man that should know! Sat., Sept. 21 at 7 p.m. at the Royal Theatre. Tickets are available at the McPherson and Royal Theatre box offices.

ADAM SAWATSKY @CTVNewsAdam
DANCING IN THE PRESENT The last time I danced publicly, I was passing a kidney stone. The painful process began while preparing for a Dance Victoria fundraiser. My final rehearsal was cut short so I could rush to the hospital. The doctor said the feeling is the closest a man will get to experience childbirth. I was working with Monique Salez, who’s now Artistic Director of Raino Dance. She calls my dance debut a “heightened” experience that we should all strive for. Not the pain part, but the opportunity to sense our body’s potential. Salez says many of us are disconnected from our bodies – just heads walking down the street. During rehearsals, my head was attached to two left feet. After months of practicing Flamenco, I didn’t get the routine right once. Before performance day I was terrified of failure. As we were waiting in the wings of the McPherson Playhouse, I wasn’t thinking about my moves or the sold-out crowd, I was consumed by pain. When we walked on stage and started the routine, something unexpected happened. Just like the movies, everything was in slow motion. The pain was gone. The fear was gone. And I remembered every step. The feeling was unlike anything else. It was bigger than the rush of adrenaline and wave of goodwill that crashes over you as hundreds
applaud. Salez says I was simply “present” in my body. “You were throwing yourself off a cliff and birthing at the same time. The pain forced you to be aware of your body. You cannot successfully perform if your mind is somewhere else.” AS: “What do you think the world would be like if everybody danced?” MS: “A lot healthier.” AS: “Because we’d be more fit?” MS: “Because we wouldn’t be so cerebral. We’re all blah, blah, blah. The body holds emotion that is unresolved. In the physical world you can express your fear and anger and sadness. It just releases all those feelings that are held. If you don’t hold on to that, it can’t turn into illness.” My body stopped holding on to the kidney stone it created shortly after the show. After struggling so much to dance so little, I was left with a new appreciation for what a good performer seems to do effortlessly. Now I sit back and watch dancers work with a sense of ‘wow.’ A lesson learned through feeling ‘ow.’ Adam Sawatsky reports on arts & lifestyle weekdays on ‘CTV News Vancouver Island with Hudson Mack’.

P
art of enjoying a music festival like Rifflandia is putting on your musical explorer hat, or cape – whichever you prefer. The fact of the matter is, with more than 170 acts in the lineup, there’s no conceivable way to be familiar with all of them. Unless of course, you’re Nick Blasko or Dimitri Demers of Atomique Productions, the festival’s producers. With more acts this year than ever before, and more international acts who’ve never played a set on our Island paradise, Rifflandia 6 is sure to be a spectacle like no other. Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Courtney Love, Big Boi, Death From Above 1979, James Murphy and Pat Mhoney (DFA/LCD Soundsystem), Stars, Matt & Kim, Beats Antique and the list goes on, and on, and on — are all gracing one of 14 stages at this year’s festival. Instead of a side stage at Royal Athletic Park, orga-

pressing, flag making, screen printing, paint wall, kids’ station, Live!Stock, minigolf and much, much more. There’s even a Pecha Kucha dedicated to the art of Rifflandia, Sept. 5. artlandia.ca.
nizers are opting for a massive open-walled tent to help focus the energy and give the park a different feel. “And Nick really likes tents,” says Demers. Action at RAP will “ping pong” back and forth from stage to tent, keeping the music flowing all day long. New night venues include the Copper Owl, Rehab Nightclub, the recently expanded Phillips Brewery backyard and CMCT studios, an intimate space with a small capacity on Discovery Street, curated by Colin McTaggart. Rifflandia Headquarters (and Atomique Productions office) is now located inside the old RBC building on the corner of Pandora and Douglas, where you can buy tickets, merch or just stop by and have some fun with your fellow Rifflandians. Remember: It’s always easiest to get around town on bicycle, especially at night when there are 12 stages operating simultaneously. And if you have certain acts on your “must see” list, get there early as venue capacities range from 40 to 2,000. rifflandia.com.

F
air is the focus for Level Ground Trading co-owner Stacey Toews. “Our focus is to do more than any other fair trade company is doing,” he says. The company, now 15 years old, is based in Central Saanich where they do all the roasting, packaging and shipping of their products — mostly coffee and dried tropical fruits. “We are transparent about what we pay, and about what the farmer is getting. We find the more transparent we are, the more loyal our customers are,” Toews says. Level Ground works directly with producers of coffee and fruit in developing countries. It also sets its own prices to ensure what Toews calls “real fair trade.” “Fair prices set by Europe or in North America mean nothing. We’ve always paid, on average, 25 to 30 per cent above the so-called fair commodity price.” The company’s overall vision is to alleviate poverty through direct and fair trade. “After 15 years, we are seeing more and more people affected by poverty. We want to find people and groups that have potential (to benefit from this),” he says. Level Ground’s trade deals support community projects like clean drinking water, educational scholarships for children of farming families and healthcare. As well as focusing on fair trade around the world closer to home, Towes says the company tries to eliminate its impact on the environment by recycling – they send almost nothing to the Hartland Landfill. “These are the standards we strive for and we invite others to come along,” Toews says.

Perpetual blues machine Adam Karch is one of the headliners of the Vancouver Island Blues Bash, taking over the Inner Harbour Aug. 31-Sept. 2. Karch plays a double bill with Stephen Barry Band, Sunday, Sept. 1 in the Inner Harbour. jazzvictoria.ca.

P
erpetual blues machine Adam Karch picked up the guitar at age 12. He used to head to the barn on the family farm in L’Acadie, Quebec to watch his brothers play with their band. One day, the lead guitarist showed him how to play. It was love at first strum. “The first song I learned how to play was Angie from the Stones. I just kept playing 10 hours a day,” he says from his home outside Montreal. “I don’t practice that much anymore.” “All my brothers stopped playing when I started,” he says. “Dad was really supportive … he built a stage in the barn with lights. I’d go up there with my band and practice. It got me used to playing in front of people. I’m really kind of shy. I don’t really like attention.” It wasn’t until later that he opened his mouth to sing. What happened next was a music miracle. The young man, who spoke with a stutter his whole life, was able to sing without faltering. “I’ll be honest. I stutter. And when I sing, I don’t. It’s been like that 35
years. I have good days and bad days, but when I sing it’s gone … I remember someone telling me that my stutter was gone the first time I sang. I didn’t even notice. It’s one of those things. I enjoyed it, but I didn’t know quite why.” A few years later, the budding bluesman found himself touring Germany with the late-great Jeff Healey. While on tour, he had the chance to rub elbows with the likes of Phil Collins and James Brown. “I got to hang out with him for the month,” says Karch. “It was so nice to be with a Canadian icon.” Although Karch grew up in Quebec, he speaks primarily in English, allowing him to sing and converse with crowds in both French and English. “I’m pretty much bilingual. It’s fun when I get to go out West and play and speak in English. I don’t get to do that often.” Karch played an afternoon show at last year’s Vancouver Island Blues Bash and won over the huge audience that gathered to hear him play. The sun was glistening on the Inner Harbour and the crowd was tuned into what he was playing. “It was amazing. It was really, really cool. I don’t get out of Quebec very often, and I couldn’t have been invited to a nicer festival. The way the audi-

ence listens to the music, the way they applaud, the way they understand it — it’s a whole new way of appreciating an artist. I felt really at home.” And so the hosts of the Blues Bash invited him back, in hopes of recreating some of that magic. “We got an overwhelming response from the 2,000 people who saw last year’s performance,” says Darryl Mar, executive director of the Victoria Jazz Society. This time around, Karch is on the same bill as Stephen Barry Band, also from Quebec, on what is being touted as Quebec Blues Night Double Bill, Sun., Sept. 1. The other ticketed performance at this year’s bash is Duke Robillard, someone Mar calls “one of the best blues artists in the world.” There are free afternoon performances in the Inner Harbour all three days.

f you told me back in high school the majority of my income would come from wearing a dress, speaking in an accent and telling jokes about the Lord, I don’t think I would have believed you. Where was that kiosk at the job fair? I saw entry-level positions at McDonald’s, a few options for hotel management, but I never saw a desk advertising the pros of being God, as a Scottish Drag Queen. To be honest, when I tell people I’m a comedian, they look at me as if I said my puppy died. A sad: “maybe if you had tried harder” look that always makes me feel like I have a big stain on my shirt. My girlfriend’s parents saw my one-man show for the first time the other day. I met them a little over 18 months ago and liked them from Day 1. A lovely, traditional small-town family that has never been anything but sweet to me. While they have always known I am a comedian, they had never been to one of my shows. I don’t know how the conversation went when she told them: “This is my boyfriend

… he wears a dress for a living.” I think even the most open-minded of fathers might have been a little nervous. When I played Orlando, Fla. I was surprised by the number of people who were shocked that I’m not gay. “BUT YOU’RE A DRAG QUEEN!?” to which I begin the long reply of how I’m not actually a drag queen, it’s just the character. People sometimes get upset that I’m not actually a drag queen, though they never get upset when they find out I’m not Scottish … or the Lord. Plus, drag queens work hard to look like that. They twist and tuck things into places you never thought possible. I was asked in Montreal if I would join something called the “Drag Races.” I assumed it was cars. Turns out, it was just a bunch of vicious queens fighting for supremacy. I competed. I had to put makeup on a man, ride a tricycle, mix a drink and sing karaoke. I lost. A skinny queen dressed like Cher won. The consolation prize is that I took off my wig and put on pants while she had to pull duct tape off her entire body. Anyway, I don’t know if my girlfriend’s parents were nervous to see me perform, and if they were, they certainly didn’t show it. I can’t imagine what it’s like to be a parent with a beautiful daughter and have her bring home some
shmuck comedian. I can tell you what it’s like to stand on a stage in front of them in what feels like the hottest theatre on the planet and try to make them laugh. It’s stressful! I’ve performed in Las Vegas, New York, and even for the talent scouts at Just For Laughs and nothing compares to watching the two people you want to be your in-laws, sitting in the fifth row off the centre aisle and hoping they laugh. You start rocky. You start slow. You make mistakes. Then you focus. You forget the stress, you forget all the crappy couches you’ve had to sleep on while on the road, you forget the time an old lady threw a cigarette at your stage manager and burned his shoe, you forget about that time in Toronto when the skies opened and flooded the city in the middle of your show, you forget about the time you split your pants on stage and everybody saw everything. You just tell the jokes. You make the folks laugh. And once you have entirely forgotten all the stress in your life, you look at the fifth row off the centre aisle and you see the three people you care the most about laughing to tears, and nothing else matters. There wasn’t a kiosk for what I make a living doing today, but by God there should have been.

His mother still lives in Richmond. “She just got her hip replaced and she’s going on a cruise,” he says. And although he rarely comes to Canada to visit, he’s spent “enough time there to be a Canucks fan … sadly.” Stiles is making his way to Victoria Sept. 20 for another iteration of Whose Live Anyway?, the live touring version of the popular improv TV show Whose Line is it Anyway?, he starred on for almost 20 years in the U.K and the U.S. He made himself known for his improv skills, his punchlines and his wacky shoe collection. “I wear size 15, and no it’s not true,” Stiles says about the popular myth that a man’s shoe size is an indicator of his manhood. “I wish I had something to leave to the imagination. When you’re in your 50s, your penis becomes like your high school year book, you know you have one, you just never look at it.” Stiles will be joined by partners in crime Greg Proops and Jeff Davis. Chip Easten, who plays Deacon Claybourne on ABC’s hit show Nashville is being replaced by Joel Murray (Dharma & Greg) for this show. Stiles says Whose Live differs from the TV version because it moves at a quicker pace. “Drew’s not there stopping the action, giving out points and we’re not going to commercials. We do an hour-and-a-half and we don’t take a break, so it just flies by. We also do some games that we can’t do on TV because of time constraints, so we can do a five minute scene if we want to.” And instead of the scene suggestions coming Royal Theatre from the show’s producers, they come September 20 at 8 p.m. directly from the audience, so there’s a lot more audience participation. Tickets starting at You can also check out Stiles, along with $39.50 at rmts.bc.ca or Colin Mochrie and Wayne Brady on the new Whose Line Is It Anyway? now on the CW 250-386-6121 on Tuesday nights.

ropping out of high school at 16 to become a standup comic is a risky move, but it’s certainly paid off for improv king Ryan Stiles, 54. Although it was a tough go at first, the comedian later branched into film and television (Whose Line Is It Anyway?, The Drew Carey Show, Two and a Half Men, Hot Shots), making a successful career out of what could have been a long road to nowhere. “In those days standup wasn’t popular. Every city didn’t have a standup club. It was really on the upswing,” says Stiles, who moved to Vancouver with his family at age 10. “I used to do a lot of strip clubs in Vancouver. We used to go up to Whistler before Whistler was even there, that’s how long ago that was.” Stiles would spend half of his pay just to get up there, playing to a not-so-interested crowd of French lumberjacks at the White Gold Inn. “It wasn’t a fun gig, but it was 30 bucks,” he says. His parents weren’t thrilled that he dropped out of school to pursue comedy. “My dad was a fisherman, so I had a pretty good job at 16 years old in the ‘70s. I was making $15 to $16 an hour. They weren’t really happy about it but they got over it when I bought them a house.” Stiles has three older brothers, none of whom are in show business, and three kids, ages 21, 19 and nine. He currently lives with his family on Lake Samich, just outside of Bellingham, WA. Over the more than 35 years in the comedy business, his hectic touring and taping schedule has slowed down and he considers himself a family man now. “I’m taking my daughter to the pool right now so, yeah,” he says. Even though his older children are adults, Stiles says he doesn’t mind they still live at home. “They’re not that much of adults,” he says. “But they drive themselves now, so that’s all that really matters.”

ande Cook’s First Nations culture is deeply rooted in his heart, but his art has wings. “I challenge myself,” says the 36-year-old Vic High grad. “I like to find the metaphor behind the original stories and legends and relate them to today. … When I find them, it’s like a light bulb opens in my heart – opens up more room to create.” Cook’s Bridge Street studio is a bright, airy corner filled with his work and work-in-progress. With wood shavings on the floor and an espresso machine seated below a flatscreen TV, it speaks of Cook’s view of art and the world around him. “I respect tradition, but not always tradition itself. Everything is meant to be pushed forward, that’s how I see it,” he says. Cook starts his day by taking his coffee down to the water’s edge near Clover Point. “I let go of everything. It helps me focus. I think about what I’m grateful for. Clear my mind and let go of expectations. … I remind myself that I’m doing a good job, to keep going and work from my heart.” A member of the Kwakwaka’wakw, Cook was raised in Alert Bay and spent much of his youth fishing with his father and grandfather. “There’s nothing like going to sleep at night on the boat hearing the engine, or if the engine’s off, hearing nothing but the water lapping. I would always pick up the tune

from the sound and work on traditional songs,” he says. He maintains his love of music by drumming and singing with his four-year-old daughter and one-year-old son before putting them to bed at night. Although living in Esquimalt with his family, Cook travels frequently to Alert Bay, often bringing his children with him to visit his grandparents and other family members. They are visits that keep their cultural heritage strong, he says. Cook’s work though, breaks the bonds of traditional First Nations art. continuing Though masks and studies totems are featured amongcontinuing his carvings, there is studies also a strong contemporary edge to much of his

he last time I played golf I shot an impressive +2 on the round. Granted, I was playing mini-golf in the Blenkinsop Valley, but I’m pretty sure I’ve heard golf pros call the kids course at the base of Mount Doug “the Augusta National of putt putt.” My first foray onto a real course since I was 14 years old was humbling, embarrassing and downright pathetic. After five holes at Uplands playing alongside Saanich’s Megan Woodland – one of the best university-level female athletes in North America – I had to call it a day. I was already sitting at +20-something (I lost count after taking 13 shots on the par-4 first Video hole) and I couldn’t, online for the life of me, get Watch Kyle take out of the bunker.

LOOK UP
Don’t just hike the hills, climb them
KIMANDA JARZEBIAK The great stereotype about climbing is that its participants are all young adrenaline junkies with massively jacked arms. While this may describe some participants in one of the fastest growing sports in North America, the people I climb with range in age from the very young (three years old) to moderately young (60+). While everyone has a different reason for pursuing climbing, there are common elements that keep us all hooked. First, a climbing workout doesn’t feel like a workout. It is not only hugely fun, but it keeps your mind engaged the whole time. Climbing requires plenty of problem solving. You can do the problem solving on your own, or with other people. Climbing is a collaborative endeavor. From beginner to the very elite, literally hanging out with other climbers is a huge part of the fun. Then there are all the health benefits. It really is a totalbody workout, from your heart muscle to your abs. You don’t need to have abs of steel or a toned upper body to start climbing, but they are natural side effects. The greater Victoria area is lucky to have two great climbing facilities that are open to the public. The commercial facility, Crag-X, is convenient to downtown (urbancliffculture.com) and The Boulders (climbtheboulders.com), is a not-for-profit society that runs in partnership with School District 63 and Stelly’s Secondary school that offers a range of programs, from recreational and competitive youth programs to adaptive recreation and climbing therapy programs. Kimanda Jarzebiak is the chair of the Boulders Climbing Gym Society, a member of the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides, and an examiner in the Canadian Mountain and Ski Guide program at Thompson Rivers University. Oddly, she has a healthy fear of heights. Science

MODERN-DAY MOSE Paddleboarding gives new meaning to walking on water DANIELLE POPE news@mondaymag.com
T
he most surprising thing about paddleboarding is that moment you don’t fall. The board slips off the dock and into the water with me perched, quivering on top – a thick tightrope with no promise of ground to catch me. Somehow, I stay afloat. “At first, a lot of people say it’s no worse than having a few too many drinks,” my guide Joshua Periard claims. “But it’s all in the mind. The only thing you have to do is to try and get your brain to stop overcompensating.” Convincing the brain to loosen up is as easy as it sounds – it needs assurance.

nent danger. The wobbling stills, my toes relax their death grip, my knees bend slightly and my breathing slows. Then, my other senses recalibrate. My inner ears lay off equilibrium detection and start hearing the stillness; a seagull calls in the distance, water laps gently against the rocks. My eyes navigate from the horizon to take in the scenery: sun sparkles off the ocean ripples, sleepy boats float still on the bay. My joints become fluid again, and I inhale the clean morning air. Any privileged, able-bodied person might think standing is no big deal. Most of us learned how to do it at six months of age, and many of us have since mastered the talent with little more reverence than we give breathing. Enter paddleboarding: the single best way to realize what an accomplishment it is to be bipedal. And by the time you move into paddleboard yoga – yes, that’s another thing Periard teaches – balance is an art form. “The thing I love, is that anyone can paddleboard,” says Periard, who has practically lived on the water since moving to the Island from Saskatchewan three years ago. “We have kids, grandparents, peo-

ple with disabilities, even athletes come out, and so many of them think it will be hard, or not right for them, then they try it out and are amazed.” Nervous laughter flits out of my mouth. I’ve now learned how to sit, kneel, hover, stand, even walk my feet around the board – kind of. While paddleboarding’s primary challenge is balance, moving is another thing. Standing confidently on his board, Periard looks back at me and smiles as my paddle starts to flow in the hook-shape pattern, special to the sport, he’s demonstrated. This motion keeps the board straight and forward, while side-to-side paddling causes the board to swagger dramatically. The board isn’t the only dramatic element. Periard and I have been on the water for just 30 minutes when we see a coastal patrol boat heading our way. For a moment, I wonder if paddleboarding is jaywalking of the sea, but the officer calls out to make sure our lifejackets are secure, and moves on. A few moments later, we hear an enormous splash from the dock, and a creature the size of a large seal is paddling towards us – it’s Periard’s dog. Paris paddles over to Periard’s board and he pulls her up: it’s a bit of an advanced move.

SES “She doesn’t like me to go anywhere without her, so she’s been paddleboarding for a while too, now,” Periard tells me as he arranges her body and feet in front of his and the two blissfully glide through the water. Another half hour passes, and by the time the three of us are heading back to shore, there is a deep serenity that floats along with us. A comfortable quiet echoes us home, the only sounds the brush of water and Paris’ panting.

A brief history of paddleboarding Paddleboarding might now be a chic sport for those buoyant with time and balance, but the activity started long ago as a mode of transportation for Hawaiians, says paddleboarding expert Joshua Periard. Indigenous people may have used fallen logs to navigate island waterways, but stand up paddling, as we know it today, began in the 1960s when surfing instructors used the technique to position themselves for taking photographs. The idea caught on in California, where marketers pushed the technique for those who wanted a way to enjoy the water without the intense waves. Even still, the sport has turned competitive, with the first Standup World Series championship races held last September at Turtle Bay Resort, O’Ahu, Hawaii. The boards come in every size and style now, are filled with foam and range in design from glass-reinforced plastic construction to inflatable models. New boards range in price from $600 to $1,500 U.S., but renting models can be as inexpensive as $20 for the evening.

Years of school and experience later, he now starts his work day at Sooke Harbour House early with a jaunt to the adjacent beach. Those few moments spent sweeping the shoreline for sea lettuce, mean patrons of Sooke Harbour House restaurant enjoy naturally sea-salted crab.

I
love a martini. I love an olive in my martini. Yes, I know they didn’t appear in the original drink. But I confess I like the way they look in a beautiful crystal glass filled with that tasty, well-chilled liquid – gin, but of course – marked with a jaunty skewer and a lovely green orb. You know, it’s very responsible to eat something when drinking. So with the craft cocktail trend you’d think a patron could get a good quality olive instead of those horrid, overly salty pimento-stuffed queens. Remember when people dropped parsley on your plate? While a perfect way to clear the breath and get green bits between your teeth, it proved uninspired and showed a lack of care. I think the martini olive has devolved to that point and it’s time to take back the glass – ramp up the game! Think Castelvetrano or Cerignola – both meaty Italian olives. So my task is to find out who cares enough to give the very best. Someone had to check. The olive report: Veneto: Queens. Clay Pigeon: Pitted giant Sicilians with or without blue cheese. Catalano: Interesting twist. The first time I went, they were sending out the queens and a week later they’d converted to three delightful orbs, served on the side (damned purists). Brasserie L’ecole: Queens and unrepentantly so. I shall endeavor to continue the search. On your behalf, of course.

Save the harvest for winter Two pots burbling away on my mom’s electric stove, casting a sweet but slightly acidic aroma around the kitchen. Chunks of ripe tomatoes from our garden, simmering with onions, celery and seasonings, slowly cooking to tenderness in one pot. In the other, the juice squeezed from a previous pot reducing to a thick, savoury liquid. When that second pot had reduced enough to satisfy my mother’s critical eye and tastebuds, I got the call. Potholders carefully arranged on the handles, I would grab the hot, heavy pot and, hopefully without spilling a precious drop, take it down to the basement. There, her second stove was keeping old 26-ounce pop bottles warm and sterilized. She gingerly poured the hot juice into the bottles, and then I would firmly press the caps on the bottles using her ancient bottle capper. After they cooled, into our root cellar they went, the base for all of her tomato sauces over the winter. I inherited my ‘canning gene’ from my mom, and this time of year can be the busiest for canners and preservers with late summer harvests of tomatoes, peppers and beans then later season fruits like apples and pears on the horizon.

about preserving have been booming over the past few years as more people rediscover ways to eat locally-produced foods year round. But canning isn’t for everyone. That’s why you’ll find David Mincey, formerly the chef and owner of Camille’s, at four or five Victoria-area farmer’s markets every week with his Circle Canning company. David helped create the direct farmto-restaurant movement in Victoria. When he had leftover fruits and veggies from a day’s sales, he started canning them and selling them at the market he created in Bastion Square. David and his wife Paige create about 50 different products over the course of a year, purchasing and preserving everything they can get their hands on from local farmers, so that you don’t have to do the work. Even my mom would be proud.

Award-winning journalist and freelance writer Susan Lundy takes a bite out of the world of heritage apples in her new book Heritage Apples A New Sensation. Lundy goes beyond the grocery store to reveal the unexplored flavours of more than 40 different heritage varieties of apple. Filled with little-known facts, tips and recipes, along with anecdotes from, and tales about, apple growers and fans, Lundy’s book blossoms with bright photographs of “the noblest of all fruit.” From the Salt Spring Apple Festival and a visit with grower Harry Burton’s Apple Luscious Organic Orchard to Hoodoo Ranch in Spences Bridge, all the way to Heart Archers Farm in Cawston near the Alberta border, the author picks the cream of the crop to share their love affair and expertise with apples. Published by Touchwood Editions in Victoria, the book is available at amazon.ca and is available for iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch on iTunes.

he Butler is an unremarkable biopic about the remarkable life of Cecil Gaines (Forest Whitaker), the unschooled young son of a Mississippi cotton picker who was brutalized in the racist South and overcame incredible challenges to become
a much-loved butler who served in the White House under eight presidents, from Eisenhower to Reagan. His tenure coincided with the civil rights struggles that tore apart the United States during the later 1950s and all through the ‘60s, and the film details everything from the bravery of “freedom riders” driving down to the southern states to register black voters to those shocking scenes of police brutality that appeared on the TV news and horrified the nation. Plodding and a bit self-consciously inspirational, Butler presents its key historical moments with a shiny, varnished earnestness. And the cavalcade of presidential cameos – Robin Williams as Eisenhower, John Cusack as a slippery Nixon, James

Marsden as the glamorous Kennedy – is sometimes distracting (although Jane Fonda has a great deal of fun as Nancy Reagan). One extended sequence that does have great emotional power cuts back and forth between a student protest at a racially segregated diner in Alabama and preparations for a state dinner at the White House. As the hatred directed at the polite but determined protesters sitting at the whites-only section gradually intensifies, the camera toggles between diner and ballroom, with sneers and shouting gradually escalating to violence, in between images of gloved hands serenely polishing goldware and arraying rows of plates with fussy perfection.

The film is interesting when it portrays the personal side of Gaines, whose turbulent family life echoes the national struggle. Apolitical to a fault, Gaines becomes bitterly estranged from his elder son, Louis (David Oyelowo), after he’s radicalized at college and keeps getting arrested as a civil rights protestor. But even the man with a lifelong policy of “going along to get along” eventually mounts his own protest about how black employees at the White House are paid 40 per cent less than whites. These complaints are hypocritically ignored for years, even as presidents Kennedy and Johnson pass legislation enforcing racial equality in terms of voting rights. Although framed as comic relief, it’s a droll reminder that the personal can be very political indeed.

My 24/7 job is the Victoria Film Festival and that means every September the programmer and I pack up our suitcases and head off to TIFF – Toronto International Film Festival for those without a love of acronyms – to watch five to seven films per day. I know people don’t think that’s work but great films grab you by the throat and take you on a journey. At the end of a day that’s a lot of travelling. TIFF walks the line between celebrity and discovery. On any given
night there will be a gala screening with attendant recognizable faces and lots of flashing cameras while just a few blocks away is a packed house for a small film perhaps from Africa. The film seemingly will have nothing to recommend it but a great, genuine story with the real beat of the human experience. Check it out: tiff.net
Check out:
Cinecenta screening of the 2013 VFF gala premiere film Hannah Arendt.
I want to mention a couple of things I’ve been enjoying: First, the Netflix series Orange is the New Black, which is Jenji Kohan’s (Weeds) new show. The women’s prison dramedy starts off a little rough but quickly becomes a seriously compelling series with great characters. With this and House of Cards, Netflix is showing itself to be the future of TV programming. Now HBO just needs to smarten up and allow online only access to its shows. Seriously. Second, the season two of Jerry Seinfeld’s Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee wrapped up online at the end of July. I’m new to this one but with my love of cars and comedians (sorry though, I’m a tea drinker) this lovely little chat show is a simple pleasure. Look for a new season likely later this year. On to the new shows: I need to mention Sleepy Hollow, premiering Sept. 16 on Fox, not because it looks good, but because it looks so, so bad. In the show Ichabod Crane is somehow transported to the titular town in the year 2040. The catch? His foe, the Headless Horseman has also made the leap. Crane must now work with the local police to bring the decapitated demon to justice. So bad it might be good? I’m guessing we’ll only have an episode or two to decide before this show gets lopped off the schedule. Fox is also making a play to be the home of all things comedy Tuesday nights, starting Sept. 17. Not only will New Girl and The Mindy Project be back in action, but a couple of new comedies with some big names will be added to the lineup. Dads, starring Seth Green and Giovanni Ribisi, is Seth MacFarlane’s (Family Guy, American Dad!) first venture into a live-action TV series, about video game developers and their oddball fathers. It looks hackneyed in the trailer, and a little too much like $#*! My Dad Says, but considering its stars, could have some solid laughs. Brooklyn Nine-Nine is Andy Samberg’s first postSNL gig and I think whether or not you like this cop comedy will depend on whether or not you like Samberg and his man-child act. With lines like, “the only puzzle he hasn’t solved is how to grow up,” this is clearly going to be the theme of the show. I might stick to Netflix. Other notable premieres: It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Season 9 – Sept. 4, FX Canada (My favourite comedy) Boardwalk Empire, Season 4 – Sept. 8, HBO Canada, 9 p.m. (My second favourite drama) Sons of Anarchy, Season 6 – Sept. 10, Super Channel.

hen it comes to the culinary arts, craft beer is the new black. Gone are the days when Kokanee was the only lager on tap; the popularity of craft breweries is on the rise and with good reason — these beers are as varied and vivacious as Okanagan wine. Wine tastings have long been celebrated cultural and culinary events, but beer festivals are nipping at their heels; crisp IPAs are paired with duck confit and pear crostinis while raspberry wheat beers are being served with goats’ cheese and radicchio wraps. Obviously, these aren’t your regular beer-hall keg fests, so what you wear needs to reflect the hip (OK, hipster) vibe. The bottom “note” of this beer-fest outfit is a great pair of boyfriend jeans. The loose cut allows for the cuffs to be rolled either up or down depending on the weather, and the metallic embellishment below the front pockets shows that this pair is decidedly not nicked from your husband’s dresser. Since we are staring down “now it’s hot, now it’s not” September weather, having a couple of layers on hand will help fend off the chill while you stake your claim in the lineup for house-made BBQ sausage in Phillips Brewing

Company’s “backyard”. A super-soft plaid shirt is a West Coast wardrobe staple but add in a geometric-step mohair sweater, and the outfit’s fashion flavour gets kicked up a notch. Let’s be honest: drinking beer can get messy. Foam pours over pint KEEP IT CUDDLY: glasses and the ground gets sticky with hefeweiMohair-Blend Sweater, $35, and zen, so having footwear that can take the overPlaid Button-Up Shirt, $25, Winners pours and surprise spills is a must. With their elevated rubber sole and grommet detailing, these Chucks are the perfect kicks for carousing around a brew fest. Topping off this porter-friendly outfit is a fabulous three-finger ring, which is super pretty but also pretty tough. What you wear to a craft beer festival can be just as cool as the ice-cold, ginger-infused brew you plan on sampling.

INTERIOR STYLE THE HIP HOME OFFICE
SITTING PRETTY:
I
am a mom who loves the Saanich Fair on the Labour Day weekend. For me, the tradition of the fair means there is an end to juggling the kids day camp schedules, working from home with an XBox in the background, sibling bickering, packing and unpacking for camping trips, countless car rides to the rec center and the unbelievable extra expense in my grocery bill. Peace, quiet, and something vibrant in my home office is desired and a creative new work place energy is needed for the coming gray months. So, with a quiet, functional, yet hip workspace in mind, I have been out looking for a few, new, cool home office ideas. Here is what I came across. At Liesch Office Interiors on Government Street, I found the height adjustable surface table (or HAT). It is very popular for those wanting to work and stand for part of the day. It also has pneumatic adjustment, so no wiring is necessary to raise or lower it. For those who need to sit more, but fidgets or seek better posture and balance, Monk Office Supply has vibrant Zenergy Ball Chairs. These will enlighten any workspace with fun and spunkiness while allowTHE RIGHT LIGHT: Sonneman Task lamp ing you to sit comfortably. I at Illuminations $369. found them really cushy – much

Illuminations Lighting has a wide choice in task lighting from colourful LED fixtures to more traditional desk lights. Again, I am drawn straight to the colours that make me smile. An orange crush desk lamp greeted me at Illuminations and in my mind’s eye, I immediately had it placed on

When I was growing up I was taught, “If you don’t have something nice to say about somebody, don’t say anything at all.” And I’m sure my mother wasn’t the only one who believed in this maxim, but these days I’m starting to wonder. Don’t get me wrong I’m not a Pollyanna, I’m a journalist, I understand critical thinking. However, it seems to be open season on vicious venting, and not in private, but in public settings where the vitriol is there for anyone to read. As a radio host, especially one who works for a public broadcaster, I feel privileged to be invited into people’s lives. I want listeners to be invested in what I do. So, I expect them to tell me when I get something wrong. I’ll fix it. If there is something I do that bugs you and I can address it, tell me and I’ll do
my best to improve. So, my complaint is not about constructive criticism. What bothers me is some of the comments I read on websites and in e-mails sent to general addresses, the writers, often with names like “pettyperson” or “nothingbettertodo”, just rant and call people names. I often wonder would you put the same information in a letter to the subject of your outrage and would you sign your name? Better yet, would you say the same thing if the person were standing right in front of you? I once replied to a listener who was upset about something I’d said. I replied, apologized and tried to explain my remarks. She replied, embarrassed and said she didn’t think I’d ever read her e-mail, but that it would be dealt with by a producer.

She went on to say that if she thought I’d read it she would never have sent it, or would have been more polite. I appreciated her honesty. I’m sure she’ll think twice before she fires off a cutting comment in the future. Maybe she’ll even ask herself “If I’m not going to say something nice, maybe I shouldn’t say anything at all.” Not a bad question for all of us to ponder before we post.

SEPTEMBER: Where’s your good luck vibe? Gemini (May 21-June 20)
horoscope Georgia Nicols
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This month, you want to get organized! Do whatever you can to manage your life more efficiently. Make lists, refine techniques, establish procedures and get support material. While you’re on this self-improvement kick, focus on health. Yes, you want it all! Meanwhile, a sudden change might benefit where you live or your family. You might move suddenly or your home might change in some way that makes you feel richer, younger and more excited about life.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
It’s a time for a vacation because the bottom line is that you want to please yourself this month. “I wanna have fun!” Enjoy sports events, the arts, the theatre, playful times with children and many chances to socialize and party with others. Something exciting will rev your engines. You’re making big plans! Expect a change to your style of communicating with relatives, especially siblings and cousins.
Pick up your Copy
This month your attention turns to home, family and your private life. You’ve been so busy lately you almost hunger for a chance to cocoon at home. Many will be involved with a parent more than usual. Unexpected news (hopefully positive) might impact your earnings. This could be a sudden windfall, a better job, a raise or a chance to make money. For some, it might be an unexpected purchase that makes you feel rich!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This month, you’re juggling short trips, errands, conversations with everyone, visits here and there plus increased reading and writing. (“My hair’s on fire!”) Plus you might squeeze in a vacation! The reason this might happen is many of you will get a charmed hit of good luck like a bolt out of the blue. The next year is fortunate for you and perhaps one of the reasons for this is that something will suddenly happen. It could be opportunities to expand your life. (Keep your bags packed by the door.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You’re entering a thought-provoking month where you will puzzle answers and wonder, “What should I be doing?” You want to know what matters in life. You’re thinking about cash flow, earnings and possessions. You might want to show something off. You want better control over your life with what you own. Recently, unexpected changes have made you more reflective, especially spiritually. Your own mortality and the interconnectedness of everything make you think.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

circumstances to you. Hint: Make hay while the Sun shines! Meanwhile, relations with a friend or a group might yield major changes and surprises. Others might endorse you or help you reach your goals. This is an auspicious time. Expect a miracle!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Your birthday is a month away, which means your personal year is ending. Therefore, this is the perfect time to make plans about your new year. How do you want it to be different from last year? What goals do you want to achieve? Meanwhile, something unusual might electrify your reputation, perhaps suddenly. People are aware of you. Your name is on their lips. You might get a promotion, a raise, recognition – something that makes you feel acknowledged and appreciated.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Your popularity is growing. This month your schedule is jam-packed with the demands of clubs and organizations. It’s time to think about long-range goals and making your dreams a reality. Work with others because they will benefit you. Establish who you are in partnerships and groups. Many of you will get a sudden opportunity to travel or explore further training and education. Others will receive a windfall connected with publishing, the media, medicine and the law. This is an exciting time in our life.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
People notice you now, especially people in authority. And they admire you, which is why they want you to take on increased responsibilities. Say yes because you won’t have to do anything special to dazzle them (Obviously, this is the month to push your agenda – ya think?) Perhaps one reason you are noticed is a sudden windfall of money, support, wealth or assistance arrives, or a chance to economically join forces with someone. Make the most of this!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You’re restless and eager to expand your horizons. Travel anywhere because you want adventure and you want to get outta Dodge. However, travel is not the only way to change your world. Exciting courses and educational opportunities can also expand and enrich your life. Meanwhile, sudden and wonderful opportunities can benefit you through a partner or close friend. A casual relationship might become committed. Or you might meet wonderful people through someone. Expect success in dealing with the general public.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You’re focused on inheritances, taxes, debt, shared property and anything to do with jointly-held assets. You might meet a strong teacher or someone who provokes self-inquiry in you. Perhaps it is because of your self-aware readiness that you will experience a sudden job promotion or a sudden change that benefits both your health and your work. Something unexpected is going to open doors for you. Classically, you will want to work for yourself or be self-employed in some way.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Your focus is on partnerships and close friendships. (For a relationship to be successful, you must be as good for your partner as he or she is for you.) Meanwhile, respect your need for more sleep because the Sun is now as far away from your sign as it gets all year, and the Sun is your source of energy. You want to be well-rested because unexpected opportunities to vacation, enjoy the arts, be involved in sports and enjoy playful activities with children will fall in your lap. Expect a fun bonanza to come your way.
