The fight for funding Two-part series: Not all municipalities willing to pay for Victoria-based tourist marketing Danielle Pope News staff

Talk to any district on the Island and you’ll hear pride swell as mayors and residents boast about their city’s prized attractions.

Oak Bay shines for its star park at Cattle Point, Langford puffs out its chest about hosting Rugby Canada, Colwood salutes its historic virtues of

Fort Rodd Hill, while Sooke bows to its glorious natural reserves and Saanich brags about its Uptown shopping mecca.

And, of course, Victoria smooths back its regal mane to draw a postcard-perfect picture of everything touristy in the capital city.

Tourism remains one of the biggest industry of the south Island region, yet a heated debate has trailed the 13 municipalities that rely on these funds to host world-class exhibits – who pays to ensure tourists turn their heads?

Although Tourism Victoria catapults its power around the globe, not everyone thinks aligning with the group is beneficial.

A seat in the B.C. legislature doesn't come cheap.

Financial disclosures published this week by Elections B.C. reveal exactly how much each candidate squeezed out of voters and their respective party in an attempt to be christened as one of 85 provincial MLAs. Nowhere was the electoral spending spree more pronounced than in Oak Bay-Gordon Head, where the three major candidates collectively spent nearly $318,000 to woo voters.

The B.C. Greens comfortably took the win with environmental scientist Andrew Weaver, who spent $110,180 to help secure 40 per cent of the vote.

"Momentum just built," Weaver said. "We ended up raising $1,000 a day from people walking into the campaign office and writing cheques (in the final days), which allowed us to undertake TV advertisements."

The disclosures include amounts spent before the formal 60-day campaign period, limited to a combined total of $140,000 per candidate.

The vast majority of Weaver's contributions came from "regular people," he said, and not from trade union or corporate donations relied upon by the B.C. Liberals and B.C. NDP. "People wanted change. It was overwhelming to see that kind of support and you saw that in the voter turnout of 71 per cent," he said.

In Victoria-Beacon Hill, incumbent MLA Carole James spent $85,000 ensuring she extended her eight-year run in the legislature. James’ spending eclipsed her closest rival, Green

Party leader Jane Sterk, who doled out $36,000 for the campaign and failed to penetrate James' 50-per-cent support base.

Karen Bill, the riding's B.C. Liberal candidate and former executive assistant to Ida Chong, affirmed her role as a seat-filler with the roughly $26,000 shelled out for her campaign.

Apart from a $300 donation from former Liberal MP David Anderson and $200 from other donors, Bill's funding came entirely from B.C. Liberal coffers and from Chong.

The B.C. NDP didn't take any chances with other safe seats in the Capital Region, either.

In Victoria-Swan Lake, NDP education critic Rob Fleming spent nearly $27,000 more than the Liberals' Christina Bates, while Maurine Karagianis (NDP) ensured her 48 per cent victory by outspending Liberal rival Chris Ricketts by $28,000 in Esquimalt-Royal Roads.

Saanich South MLA Lana Popham broke the $100,000 mark in defeating B.C. Liberal challenger Rishi Sharma, while Liberal candidate Stephen Roberts topped Capital Region campaign spending at $115,169 and still lost by 163 votes to the NDP's Gary Holman in Saanich North and the Islands.

Province-wide, the B.C. Liberals spent $11.75 million on their way to a come-from-behind victory, outspending the B.C. NDP's $9.4 million.

Corporate contributors gave $5 million in donations to the Liberals, followed by individuals at $2.4 million, FINE unincorporated businesses at CUSTOM JEWELLERS $420,000 and $385,000 from other sources.

The NDP got nearly $2.6 million from individuals, $2.5 million from trade unions and $2.1 million from corporations.

The Green Party of B.C. spent just $180,000, while the B.C. Conservative Party listed $155,000 in expenses. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Tofino, Ucluelet take on the tour Strong RCMP contingent from rugged west coast Susan Quinn Black Press

For the first time in the history of the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock, both Ucluelet and Tofino are represented by riders from their respective RCMP detachments.

Chris Squire, a constable in Ucluelet, started thinking about joining the ride when he spoke with several riders during a stop last year in his community. Ucluelet RCMP Sgt. Jeff Swann, while not a past rider, is a staunch supporter of the Tour de Rock, and he urged Squire to put his name in for a spot on the team.

“Jeff is a big supporter of the Tour de Rock,” Squire says. “He’s got four little kids and they all shave their heads every year. He talked me into it.

It’s a good cause.”

Squire has already raised close to $10,000 for the Tour de Rock, double his original goal.

Squire lost his grandmother to cancer, but says he hasn’t had much personal experience with the disease – unlike Tofino Cpl. Andrew Waddell, who along with his wife Vicki and son Justin, have all been diagnosed with cancer in the past few years.

Squire’s junior rider this year is Brett Wasylyniuk of Port Alberni, who has been treated for rhabdomyosarcoma, or a cancer of the muscles that attach to bone.

Tofino rider Waddell’s journey with cancer has been a long one. The 27-year RCMP veteran was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 1997; he had surgery to remove what could be removed, and radiation to try and hit the rest. He still lives with the tumour but says it’s stable.

Vicki has had melanoma, or early skin cancer removed, as well as some basal cell carcinomas.

Justin was diagnosed with lymphoblastic leukemia when he was only two years old. He went through three years of chemotherapy between ages two and five. Justin is now 15 and loves to surf.

(Above) Ucluelet RCMP Const. Chris Squire and (right) Tofino RCMP Cpl. Andrew Waddell are from small detachments, but have taken on the big commitment of Tour de Rock.

Waddell said the time is right for him to participate in the Tour de Rock. “The reason I’ve come up with is because I can. I have a family that supports me. We benefited from others and now it’s my turn, so families that can’t get out and fundraise can get out there and benefit.”

Waddell’s junior rider is James Albrecht, also from Port Alberni, and also being treated for rhabdomyosarcoma. Waddell met James at the end of July, and says he’s an amazing young man.

“It’s pretty astounding to see a young person in week 10 of 55-week chemotherapy bounding around the house like he is,” Waddell says.

“There’s guys like James that are living because money from cancer research is keeping them alive.”

Because Squire and Waddell both work in small

detachments and work opposite shifts, they haven’t done much riding together outside of mandatory Tour de Rock rides with the northern team. Squire, a reformed mountain bike rider, does a lot of solo rides on his road bike, but says he prefers to ride with a group.

Waddell is known as Tofino’s “bike cop,” so he is no stranger to cycling.

Waddell cycles 175 kilometres per week between Tofino and Ucluelet for his tour training.

“I go up Radar Hill every time I go by it at the turnoff (to Highway 4),” he says.

Of course, powering up Radar Hill is nothing compared to what children with cancer suffer through, Waddell says.

And that’s why he decided to tackle the Tour de Rock this year.

“It is important to celebrate each day, cheer for every success, and not rest until cancer has been conquered.” editor@albernivalleynews.com

Greek celebration expands Heritage museum opens in time for Greek Fest

Gavin and Lachlan Kratz may already be turning heads in the Castaway Wanderers, as both boys turned into champions at Rugby Canada’s National Championship Festival in Vancouver Aug. 7-11.

Gavin, 15, who played on the boys’ under-16 Gold Team, won his match against Ontario 50-0.

Lachlan, 13, played on the boys’ under-14 Gold Team.

Though the U-14 team lost their eight-year winning streak, Lachlan then played for the U-14 White Team, which won its match.

“I thought it was an amazing experience because I met a lot of new people and played the best rugby I’ve ever played. The coaches were awesome,” said Lachlan. “We got great kit bags and B.C. jerseys and shirts. Staying in the dorms at UBC was really fun. The most outstanding thing was getting a chance to play rugby, kick a few field goals, and make a few tries.”

Lachlan said he will continue playing for the Castaway Wanderers, and will try out next summer again for the U-14 BC team.

Meanwhile, older brother Gavin hopes to be selected for next year’s U-16 B.C. rugby team.

“There were so many great teams that we competed against,” Gavin said. “It was lots of fun.”

Other Oak Bay stars of the event included Jack Nyren, who played for the U-17 and U-18 team, as well as the Castaway Wanderers’ girls team, which saw Ciel Arbour-Boehme, Cachelin Hall, Miranda Llewellyn, Alexandria Bos, Adrienne Graham and Imogen White play for the U-16 Blue Team. news@mondaymag.com

If people can aim their eyes past mouth-watering skewers of lamb, tzatziki-drizzled gyros and honeyglazed loukomades at this year’s Greek Fest, they might notice the Greek community centre has opened a museum.

Or they might not. As 300 lambs roast on spits and 20,000 souvlakis are dished out over two weekends, being captivated by anything other than food seems ambitious.

For a relatively small ethnic group, Victoria’s Greek community has an outsized influence on the city’s gastronomic tastes, as evidenced by the 30,000 visitors that pack the annual festival.

“Greek Fest is growing every year. People do come here for the food, but also for the hospitality and the way we see ourselves as a mini colony of Greece,” said Michael Ikonomou, president of the Victoria and Vancouver Island Greek Community Society. “We try to provide what people like and the best entertainment we can.”

This 12th annual Greek Fest is split between the next two weekends – Aug. 23 to 25 and Aug. 30 to Sept. 2 – as opposed to a single week-long event, at the Greek Orthodox Church and community centre, just outside of Saanich Commonwealth Place.

One hundred volunteers from the Greek community collectively donate 11,000 hours of time preparing food and hosting the celebration of all things Greek.

The Greek community society completed a 3,500-square-foot addition to its community centre earlier this year, giving it a bigger kitchen, space for a museum and heritage centre, and more room for Greek language and dance schools.

Volunteers like Wendy Smylitopoulos are working feverishly to have the museum ready to go by today. “I may have to sleep here (this) week, but it will be ready,” Smylitopoulos said.

Of the estimated 100 Greek families in Greater Victoria, Ikonomou said many have donated old family photos, mementos from the home-

Wendy Smylitopoulos, left, and Michael Ikonomou, president of the Victoria and Vancouver Island Greek Community Society, hold a signboard displaying the Greek roots of explorer Juan de Fuca. The society is hosting its annual Greek Fest over the next two weekends, and is opening its new museum in the building that houses the community centre and church. land and records of family arrivals to Canada. The museum will display a 1872 Greek prayer book, two icons hundreds of years old, donated fabrics from the old country, and old photos and keepsakes of the past.

“1912 had the first Greek men’s group in Victoria. We’ve got the actual roster,” Smylitopoulos said, and in its original copper plating.

“Heritage is what it’s all about – it’s all about the Greeks before they came here and what they’ve done since.”

“We are going to dig deeper into the older families, how they lived and who we have here today,” Ikonomou added. “Building on genealogy is an ongoing project.”

The earliest known Greek arrival to Vancouver Island was several hundred years before the British established its colony. Ioannis Phokas, a.k.a. Juan de Fuca, cuts a square-jawed, Hemmingway-esque figure on a signboard that highlights his Greek heritage and entry into the Spanish navy.

Juan de Fuca explored into what is now the Strait of Juan de Fuca in 1592 and found the southern tip of Vancouver Island, although later

explorers like Captain James Cook didn’t believe his claims. “‘Juan de Fuca was Greek?’

That’s the first thing we hear every year,” Smylitopoulos said.

Beyond the museum, volunteers will offer tours of the church, which Ikonomou said is one of the few in Canada with Byzantine architecture and genuine orthodox iconography, painted in Greece in a monastery. The church, the emerging museum and the festival itself prides themselves on authentic links to the culture and history of the Greek people.

means ‘a friend to strangers.’ We are trying to exhibit that in the festival here,” said Ikonomou, who established Victoria’s Greek Fest, and who works as a federal fisheries scientist.

“There are tons of festivals in Greece like this. It’s not an artificial thing, it’s a natural thing. It’s a nice way to share the culture, as a fundraiser event and it’s good for the children in our community in the sense of what Greek Fest is all about.”

Entertainment this year includes dancers from Mesologi and Athens, in Greece, plus Greek dancers from Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver and Victoria.

“Greece is rich in dances.

There’s 3,000 different dances in Greece and we try to capture some of that,” Ikonomou said.

The Greek Community Society donates part of the proceeds to Tour de Rock and the Greater Victoria school district hot lunch program, but funds raised will also pay down the new addition to the Greek community centre, which Ikonomou expects to take about a decade. editor@saanichnews.com

“Tourism Victoria is a membership-based organization, and our approach to tourism is to market the destination in a holistic manner,” said Tourism Victoria board chair Dave Cowen. “We promote the Craigdarroch Castle, Butchart Gardens, the Fisgard Lighthouse, and all of those places take visitors around the area and away from the downtown core.”

Victoria has had some form of tourism bureau since 1901, but Tourism Victoria in its current form has been around for almost 40 years. The not-for-profit is funded through membership fees, grants from Victoria and Saanich (at $47,000 and $36,000) and a special hotel tax from the two communi-

ties that bring in about $2 million annually. The Visitor Services portion of the organization also receives a provincial grant, giving Tourism Victoria an operating budget of $4.2 million.

Though it sounds like a lot of money, the organization creates more than glossy brochures — it markets the region around the world and facilitates partnerships with places as far as Europe and Asia.

“We are of the opinion that a strong tourist industry, that might appear to be centered in Victoria, is helpful to all the municipalities, and we think we have a responsibility to work together here,” said District of Saanich Coun.

Susan Brice, chair of the finance committee.

“Pooling our money with all the communities is the only way to focus our efforts

The City of Victoria, District of Saanich, District of Oak Bay, Township of Esquimalt, Town of Sidney and the Town of View Royal believe the cost is well worth the gains. But while the City of Langford also holds membership, the area mines a different philosophy – and collects a hotel tax which it does not contribute to Tourism Victoria.

“There is no real benefit for us, from our point of view,” said Langford Mayor Stew Young.

“Victoria’s focus is tourism, and they’re great at doing what they do down there, but we don’t have those kind of hotels and touristy things here. Our focus is on sports tourism, and making this the best possible community for the residents who already live here.”

Young said Langford’s hotel tax, which largely comes from pro sports teams and conferences that make their way to the Bear Mountain Arena, directly funds the Langford Sport Authority which markets the home of Rugby Canada and all the district’s sporting potential. Funds also support community-improvement projects and economic developments.

“Why would we give Victoria our money and then try to tell them to spend it on us?” said Young. “It’s not like Victoria is telling tourists ‘Go to Langford.’” news@mondaymag.com Next issue: the City of Victoria weighs in on the fairness of divided municipal support, while Sooke shows concern for a lack of representation.

Transit, shared private lots could solve parking woes Re: Parking dilemma (vicnews. com) I often drive downtown and as for the parking, if I choose to drive I am aware I will need to pay for parking on a weekday during day hours, so it is a choice.

What the city could do better is repaint the curbs on the streets so it is clear what is a parking area and what is not. I received a ticket in an area like this and won my dispute.

The other thing is why not share parking spaces?

Many business have 24-hour

reserved parking and I see this is necessary during business hours but what about nights and weekends? These lots could be used as a better use of space while working together as a community.

The real reason I prefer not to drive in downtown Victoria is the overall traffic congestion, poor drivers, streets that are narrow and then add bike lanes, lanes closed on streets because of construction and many other reasons.It is easier to support B.C. Transit and take the bus and it is often safer.

When the Craigflower Bridge was closed, traffic had to go somewhere and much of it went onto Tillicum Road. This would have been tolerable if the construction project at Tillicum and Burnside had not closed the curb lane on both streets. For the past two years, residents of Tillicum have been subjected to air and noise pollution that never previously existed.

Those of us who live on Tillicum sometimes wait 10 minutes just to get onto the street, and another 10 minutes to clear the mess. It should be made clear to the builders that no lane closures should be allowed during this project except at night.

OUR VIEW

Tourism should showcase region “Who will help me plant the seed?” asks The Little Red Hen in the old Russian folk tale.

As she plants the seed, mills the wheat and bakes the bread, she asks her fellow farm dwellers, “Who will lend a hand?”

“Not I,” comes the reply – until it’s time to eat.

Not I, seems to be the attitude of several Greater Victoria municipalities when it comes to paying their share of Tourism Victoria’s marketing budget.

Sure, they’ll take the spin-off from the $2-million or so spent on luring tourists to the city, but participate in the funding: “Not I.” Langford Mayor Stew Young likely speaks for many of the outlying municipalities when he says they would see no benefit from sharing the wealth.

A quick trip to Tourism Victoria’s website seems to prove him right. Other than the obligatory nod to landmark Butchart Gardens, which pays on its own to be a member of the organization, while Central Saanich, the municipality in which it sits does not, it takes a bit of hunting to find the mere mention of Langford, Sidney or Sooke.

It’s arguable that many people who come to Victoria never venture outside the city limits and many that do, hop on a bus to Butchart Gardens and return to town without a chance to visit a Saanich Peninsula winery or farm stand, let alone cycle along the Galloping Goose or swim in the Sooke Potholes.

Greater Victoria’s tourism strategy is a bad one. As it stands, it’s yet another fine example of how 13 separate fiefdoms stand in the way of enhancing the whole.

Those who only preview our area through Tourism Victoria’s eyes will see a place too small to keep their interest for more than a few days. They may never know they can surf in Sooke, go to a national historic site at Fort Rodd Hill or visit an aquarium in Sidney.

The moral of The Little Red Hen teaches us if we don’t put in the work, we shouldn’t reap the reward.

The region needs to come up with a strategy to increase tourism across Greater Victoria. Having a unified strategy for marketing the entire Capital Region is a necessity if we really want to attract tourists who stay and take in all we have to offer.

BC Hydro is already mired in debt. Currently over $15 billion, its arrears have nearly doubled since 2010, when the provincial government decided to move forward with Site C, and is expected to rise to $18.85 billion by 2015. As a result, the dividends BC Hydro pays to the province will be cut almost in half.

Site C is currently undergoing an environmental assessment, an essential part of responsible development. However, while an environmental assessment examines projects for their potentially adverse environmental, social, heritage and health effects, the BCUC would assess such specific factors as load growth forecasting, energy pricing policies and resource plans.

As a Crown corporation, BC Hydro’s debt is borne by ratepayers. In light of the utility’s maxed-out debt-equity ratio, the massive capital costs it faces to upgrade aging infrastructure, recent requests to increase rates and strong indications that its current business practices are unsustainable, BCUC oversight is needed to ensure that Site C receives the kind of robust review necessary to protect ratepayers from being on the hook for an $8-billion mistake.

Finally, something we can all agree on.

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

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

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,”

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.”

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. ●

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?”

“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.” ●

Making a difference Monterey Recreation Centre, Member Mike Sampson

Jean La Morte,

Age 72

Age 89 Jean La Morte was born in California but became a permanent Victoria resident in 1999. She and her mother came to Victoria to live for a couple of years after the Wall Street Crash of 1929, also known as Black Tuesday in the United States. She and her mother moved to James Bay and while she was here she attended St. Margaret’s School. La Morte, who now lives at the Oak Bay Lodge, enjoys writing and is a part of the Monterey Centre Scriveners Club. She loves Oak Bay calling it, “my village.” ●

Mike Sampson was born in England and emigrated with his family in 1953.

He worked in various department for the Provincial Government from 1959 to 1996. His interests include climbing/ski mountaineering with the Alpine Club of Canada and boating with Oak Bay Power and Sail Squadron. He and his wife, Sharon, continue to enjoy skiing, cruising and kayaking. A member of the Monterey Recreation Centre, he sings with the Lounge Lizards and is a member of the table tennis club. He is competing in table tennis in the B.C. Senior Games this week. ●

Hearing loss is more obvious than wearing a hearing aid Kristina Plewes, M.Sc. Registered Audiologist

A hearing loss is noticeable to your family and friends when: • You miss parts of conversations, • You frequently ask “Pardon me?”, • You avoid noisy social situations, • Your TV is turned up too loud, • You complain that everyone seems to mumble.

If you or your loved one is experiencing any of the above symptoms then you are not alone. Hearing loss is the third most common chronic disability behind arthritis and heart disease and should not be ignored. Amongst other things, an untreated hearing loss can lead to isolation from your family and friends.

Hearing aids are available in attractive colors and designs that fit well into or over your ears. Although hearing aids do not ‘correct’ hearing loss they can help you feel connected by making communication easier. Hearing aids are far less obvious than the symptoms of hearing loss itself.q

STOMP weekend

DANIEL PALMER dpalmer@vicnews.com

A

fter a sold-out run of Mamma Mia last summer, Broadway is back in Victoria.

STOMP kicks off its North American tour at the Royal Theatre this week, the result of a lot of hard work from Victoria-raised artistic producer Henry Kolenko.

“It’s quite challenging to bring shows to Victoria, not just because it’s an island but because the venue is booked almost the whole year through,” says Kolenko.

“It took me a few years to bring a show here.”

Instead of jousting with the Victoria Symphony, Opera and various dance companies for a fall season spot at the Royal Theatre, Kolenko decided to throw caution to the wind and book the theatre in the summer months last season. It proved such a success, he’s doing it again.

“I wanted to do it with a show that had a lot of drawing power, and Mamma Mia was just off the charts last year,” he says. “We sold out, and we broke Royal Theatre history of most tickets sold in a day.”

To boost excitement, organizers are planning a similar preview in Langford, albeit on a slightly bigger scale.

“We’ve talked to the mayor of Langford, Stew Young, and he’s actually shutting down downtown,” Kolenko says.

On Monday, Goldstream Avenue will close at 6 p.m. so the whole cast can perform street shows for the passing crowd.

“Every show is its own unique entity and needs to be brought into the community with respect,” Kolenko says. “And the community of Victoria is a very sophisticated community. The people that want to go see theatre have travelled a lot and have seen theatre all over, so we’re very selective in how we bring a show in and

IT UP

how we marry it to the community.”

Because STOMP uses a unique combination of choreography, percussion and physical comedy, there’s no language barrier, which has helped the show expand to more than 50 countries and 25 million people, Kolenko says.

“It’s done in a way that’s very accessible. People come out of it and say, ‘I didn’t know it would be so funny.’”

Kolenko attended Mount Douglas secondary before ending up on Broadway in New York for several years. When he came back to the West Coast, he wanted to bring some of the entertainment he’d

seen to a local audience.

“Victoria was one of the last big markets in Canada that didn’t have broadway shows coming in regularly,” he says.

Kolenko promises STOMP will be worth the $79.50 to $89.75 ticket price, and is hopeful Broadway fever will sweep Greater Victoria once again.

“The show is selling extremely well but there are still tickets,” he says.

STOMP originally premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1991, and made its way to Broadway in New York City by 1994. The show is still running in London’s West End and has an off-Broadway show in Manhattan.

The show opens Tuesday, Aug. 27 and runs until Sunday, Sept. 1.

Complete with a great cast, this is one of Woody Allen’s best films. Ever. ★★★ THE CONJURING -(Caprice) 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.

An old-school spookfest, into atmosphere more than splatter.

★★½ DESPICABLE ME 2 -(SilverCity/Westshore) The 2010 original, about a loathsome criminal mastermind who was reformed by the love of three young orphan girls, was a goofy delight. The sequel, although still clever, is much more scattershot, with an unimaginative plot and unwelcome dashes of mean spiritedness. Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, and Russell Brand supply the voices. ★★½ ELYSIUM -(Odeon/Empire Uni 4/SilverCity) Matt Damon and Jodie Foster star in a futuristic sci-fi thriller where the Earth has become a 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. It’s hard to argue with the politics, but this new film by the writer-director of District 9 is too heavy-handed and cliched to take seriously. ★★½ JOBS -(Empire 6/Empire Uni 4) Ashton Kutcher does a fine acting job in this superficial but highly entertaining portrait of Steve Jobs, the college dropout who started a computer revolution that transformed the world. ★½ KICK-ASS 2 -(Odeon/ SilverCity/Westshore) Although the original movie, with its tale of outsider teens inspired by comic books into becoming vigilante heroes, had a transgressive charm, the sequel is a bloodyminded mess. Although co-star Jim Carrey made the news for unexpectedly denouncing the movie’s brutal violence, he should also have lambasted it for criminal stupidity and general soullessness.

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 -(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. ★★ PARANOIA -(Empire 6/ SilverCity) Lethal corporate espionage drives the action in this slick but vapid thriller starring Harrison Ford, Gary Oldman, and Australian hunk-dujour Liam Hemsworth (Hunger Games).

PLANES -(Empire 6/SilverCity/ Westshore) The same people who made Cars have taken to the skies with a similar familyfriendly animated tale about a crop-dusting plane with dreams of winning a famous aerial race.

TURBO -(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. ★★★½ THE WAY WAY BACK -(Odeon) A hit at Sundance, this is a funny and touching comingof-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 -(SilverCity/ Caprice) 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.

ustralian blues-rock musician Ash Grunwald is returning to Victoria as part of a 12-stop tour through B.C. The surfer usually swings through during the winter for heli-snowboarding sessions in the interior but has opted for a warmer view of the province this time around.

Grunwald is playing the Cambie (856 Esquimalt Rd.) in Esquimalt on Wednesday, Aug. 28, the ninth of 12 shows.

The Cambie is a smaller venue than those he typically plays in his native Australia, where his music has had brushes with fame. The original version of his song Breakout was included in a movie trailer for Moneyball, which has been viewed nearly four million times on YouTube.

He also collaborated with members of Aussie punk band The Living End for a cover of Gnarls Barkley’s Crazy, which was an unexpected hit in Australia.

Down under, Grunwald is a known environmentalist. But here, his priority is to connect with fans as a musician, which is tough for an indie rocker who lives on the other side of the world. And if he can connect with his message about the environment too, all the better, especially the need to stop the wasteful mining of coal, gas and other fossil fuels.

“It’s not even controversial anymore,” Grunwald said. “Global warming is an accepted fact and no one is debating that the use of fossil fuels is the cause.”

Grunwald is currently pushing his single, The Last Stand, a statement against mining in central Australia, which Canadians should be able to relate to, he said.

“We call it the Gaslands in central Australia: a heavy housing commune residence that’s getting poisoned by a multi-national company which is selling the gas to China. It provides very little jobs for Australia and the ramifications will last for thousands of years. In terms of pollution, it’s not unlike the fracking that goes on here (in Canada).”

During this year’s performances in Australia and England, Grunwald has been taking a few minutes to energize the crowd about environmental responsibility when he sings The Last Stand.

The soulful, award-winning rocker has toured B.C. before and is making his return, this time with his family, toddler and infant in tow.

“We’re trying to treat the non-gig parts as holiday time,” Gunwold said. “But it’ll still be a whirlwind, just not the whirlwind it is when I’m by myself.”

Tickets are available at the Cambie.

Our best at the Games Travis Paterson News staff

Greater Victoria athletes returning from the Canada Summer Games in Sherbrooke, Que., this week are importing some precious metals.

The Games ran Aug. 2 to 17, and brought together approximately 4,500 athletes in 20 disciplines.

Among the brightest lights for B.C. was Adam Keenan, who added a Canada Games record and gold medal to his growing medal haul. Keenan, a hammer thrower who graduated from Lambrick Park secondary two years ago, set a new Games record of 65.96 metres, seven metres more than the next thrower.

It broke Dylan Armstrong’s 2001 Canada Games record.

“I wasn’t aware that I broke Dylan Armstrong’s record,” Keenan said. “I’m told this is the second one I’ve taken from Dylan. I have major respect for his accomplishments so I’m really happy.”

Keenan, 19, is part of Canada’s future international throwing team and trains in Kamloops with Armstrong, now a shot put specialist, under head coach Dr. Anatoliy Bodnarchuk.

A pair of Saanich Commonwealth Place regulars, diver Courtney Hattie and swimmer Jon McKay, each picked up a trio of medals.

Hattie, of Boardworks Diving club, won gold in the three-metre springboard, bronze in the one-metre springboard event and bronze in the synchronized three-metre event with teammate Madeline Wainman of Coquitlam. McKay, of Pacific Coast Swimming, won gold in the men’s 1,500-metre free-

One of B.C.’s most dominating efforts came on the diamond.

Victoria Mariners pitcher Colton Wood came up big in the gold medal final, throwing a seven-inning shutout to pace B.C. a 5-0 win over Ontario. Wood gave up just one hit while walking none

and striking out 10 in the gold medal game on Aug. 9.

His offence spotted him a 5-0 lead in the first inning which stayed as the final score.

Fellow Mariners player Jesse Mycock played centre field and had two hits in the final. Victoria Eagles coach Gautam Srivastava was a manager with the team.

wood’s Naomi Ko was part of the gold-medal women’s team, which beat Quebec by 17 strokes for first place.

In the water, rower Emily Nicole Lerhe won gold with the women’s quad. The sculler competes for Boston University and is a member of the Victoria City Rowing Club. Gorge Rowing and Paddling member Patrick Dann won bronze in the K-2 200metre event.

Royal Victoria Yacht Club youth member Max Gallant, who competed at the world laser championships earlier this summer, sailed his singlehanded laser to silver.

The Games were particularly good to Thomas Riva, a UVic Vike from Qualicum Beach. Riva won gold in the 1,500-metre with a surge in the final 100 metres of the race. Riva also won silver in the 800m.

Oak Bay was well represented on the hardcourt by Team B.C. in the women’s basketball final. B.C. took silver, losing 61-41 to Team Ontario in the final, with Oak Bay Breakers Marissa Harrington, Lauren Yearwood and Morgan Roskelley, and Claremont Spartan Marissa Dheensaw on the team.

B.C.’s men’s team didn’t make the medal round but was represented by a pair of Saanich athletes, Matt Neufeld (Lambrick Park) and Taylor Montgomery-Stinson (Claremont).

Dragon boaters to invade Elk Lake From one dragon boat festival comes another as the Canadian National Dragon Boat Championships go down at Elk Lake this weekend, Aug. 23 to 25.

Last weekend an estimated 80,000 people attended the three day event Victoria Dragon Boat Festival on the Inner Harbour.

“This is an exciting opportunity for local competitive teams, such as the Gorging Dragons, who hope to dominate the event and secure a position at the 2014 Club Crew World Championships in Italy,” said Glenys Haskins, general manager for the Victoria Dragon Boat Festival Society.

It’s the first time Elk Lake has hosted a dragon boat event. Unique to the competitive regatta are the “held-tail starts,” where boats are held in position manually before racing a variety of distances The event is drawing over 100 crews and 2,000 athletes from across the country.

Racing begins on Friday morning at 8 a.m. (and each day) through Sunday until 5 p.m. sports@vicnews.com

Runners pick it up with new September races Two running events have been added to the September race calendar, both selling themselves as a chance for runners to test their mettle ahead of the Victoria Marathon on Oct. 13.

On Sept. 8 the Zoot 10-kilometre road course, which has sprung up in place of the the former McNeill Bay Half Marathon, will debut in Oak Bay. It starts in Oak Bay Village and heads past Estevan Village through the Uplands with a turnaround at Cattle Point. Minor hills and a 500-metre incline will challenge the runners.

All participants get a Zoot technical shirt.

On Sept. 15 The Q’s Victoria Run Series will debut its newest event, the series’ season-ending Synergy Shuffle.

While the series is built around short and middle distance track running, the Shuffle is open to the long distance runners of the community and offers two rarely used distances, 20 and 30 km, as well as a 10-km route.

The Shuffle is based in Central Saanich and starts and finishes at Island View Road and Lochside Trail, beside Michell’s Farm Market. All three races use the same 10-km loop, which runs south on Lochside Trail and includes Hunt and Martindale roads, with small rolling hills and long, flat stretches.
