Police, ICBC remind drivers of long weekend road safety Kyle Slavin News staff
It’s the last weekend before school’s back in session, meaning the roads and highways in and out of Greater Victoria will be packed with long-weekend vacationers and university students moving back to the region. And with an increase in volume typically comes an increase in crashes and injuries, especially on long weekends. ICBC recently released stats that show on average 290 crashes occur on Vancouver Island over the Labour Day long weekend. Some 80 people are injured in those crashes. “More cars on the road means more chances of stuff happening, especially if people are in a rush to save time before school starts. Slow down, pay attention – it’s not worth trying to save an extra 10 minutes,” said Acting Sgt. Mike Bainbridge, with Saanich police’s traffic safety unit. He said Saanich cops will be out looking for distracted, impaired and aggressive drivers. ICBC says on average four people lose their lives on B.C. roads on the Labour Day long weekend – deaths that can be prevented. Their reminders to be safe on the road include: ensure your vehicle (plus any boats or trailers you’re towing) is road safe; eliminate distractions inside the vehicle; and keep your distance, especially if the road is slick. “Although VicPD’s traffic section won’t be out specifically targeting motorists, our general patrol officers will be busy looking for Motor Vehicle Act infractions, ensuring our safety on our roads,” said VicPD Const. Mike Russell. “It’s every driver’s responsibility to ensure all road users arrive at their destination.” With the influx of post-secondary students returning to the Capital Region, Russell says that makes Labour Day a very busy weekend downtown. He said patrol officers will be out in full force, and working with Late Night Great Night Victoria to ensure the streets are safe. And, as another reminder, Tuesday is the first day back at school, meaning the 30 km/h speed limit in school zones is back in effect. kslavin@saanichnews.com
Saanich Fair celebrates 146 years Agricultural fair offers plenty to do and see
The Saanich Fair, running Saturday through Monday, features rides, games, performances, plenty of animals and more. Black Press file photo
Steven Heywood News staff
At the entrance to the Saanich Fair this Labour Day long weekend, visitors will have two options — to the right, the Rotary Club games of chance and the West coast Amusements Midway rides — to the left, thousands of exhibits people have entered in the many fair categories. And this is only the beginning of the festivities. The 146th annual Saanich Fair starts Saturday, Aug. 31 and runs all weekend, wrapping up after 6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 2. Event organizer Gloria Dol says the fair is western Canada’s oldest continuous agricultural fair and attracts people from all
over Vancouver Island. “It all started off with 10 farmers in a field in Saanichton,” Dol said. “It continued to grow and by 1992 the fair had moved to new grounds and tents at our current site along Stelly’s X Road in Central Saanich.” Over the years, the site grew and new buildings were erected. Dol said an agri-plex was added and the society that runs the event spent $200,000 for a new equestrian ring. All the money
they used were proceeds from the fair itself. It’s these facilities that attract horse owners from up and down the Island — the Hunter Jumpers, Arabians and mini horses and the many 4-H horse clubs. In addition to the equine participants, there are a total of 27 different types of animals on site this weekend, said Dol, adding there will be 5,000 exhibits on display and to be judged in various disciplines: needle arts,
vegetables, junior (age three to 16) entries in arts, photography and more, as well as woodworking and crafts. There will also be 17 food concessions on the grounds. Another 28 added attractions are available — from face painting and a pirate school, to a direct farm market and donkey quiz games. The main stage will feature local bands, magic shows and other performers. The Saanich Fair opens to the public at 8 a.m. on Saturday. Be sure to pick up a fair program when you arrive, or visit saanichfair.ca, for a full schedule of events. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com
Protest held in Ohio before sentencing of Saanich priest Phil Jacobs worked as priest in Columbus in 1970s and 1980s Kyle Slavin News staff
Phil Jacobs, the former Saanich priest found guilty earlier this year of touching a young person for a sexual purpose, is expected to be sentenced next week in B.C. Supreme Court. Jacobs worked as priest at St. Joseph the Worker Parish in Saanich from 1997 to 2002. He left his post in Greater Victoria after allegations surfaced of inappropriate behaviour involving boys during his time working in Columbus, Ohio in the 1970s. He was charged by Saanich police in 2010 for incidents that were alleged to have occurred while he worked in Saanich. On Wednesday, members of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests protested in downtown Columbus, attempting to urge B.C. Supreme Court Justice J. Miriam Gropper to hand down a harsh sentence, according to The Columbus Dispatch. “We urge victims to come forward quickly, report this to the Canadian judge who will be sentencing Father Jacobs next
week,” SNAP member Carol Zamonski told the The Dispatch, while protesting in front of St. Joseph Cathedral in Columbus. “It seems that the maximum sentence might be merely five months, with no accountability that we can see for his future access to people that he might prey on.” Zamonski also called upon the Roman Catholic Diocese of Columbus to encourage other victims to speak out, The Dispatch reported. According to The Dispatch, the Diocese of Columbus has received about 10 credible reports of abuse by Jacobs over the years, and all allegations were shared with police. Jacobs admitted during testimony in December that he had sexually abused two boys in Ohio, but had attended therapy to control his compulsion to instruct boys on masturbation. He told the court he had a series of inappropriate experiences with teenage boys involving camping trips and masturbation. Jacobs’ guilty charge stems from testimony regarding tutoring sessions at Jacobs’ house on the grounds of St. Joseph the Worker Parish. The victim said he ended up in a position of laying on the couch with his legs over Jacobs’ lap. During testimony, the young man told the court that Jacobs’ right hand would
slide up and down the witness’s left thigh over his pants – “he went from my knee to my groin back and forth ... the back of his hand touched my genitals.” Gropper agreed with the Crown’s assertion that Jacobs’ touching of the victim’s genitals was “deliberate,” and not accidental brushing. During a sentencing hearing in July, Crown prosecutor Clare Jennings argued for a four- to six-month prison sentence for Jacobs, following by two years probation. He would also be put on the National Sex Offender Registry, and be included in the National DNA Data Bank. Defence attorney Chris Considine asked Gropper to consider a conditional sentence, given the incident Jacobs was found guilty of wasn’t “more physical, long-lasting or aggressive” compared to other similar crimes. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Victoria hired Jacobs despite knowing he had been relieved of his duties at a church in Columbus, Ohio, in the early 1990s after admitting to inappropriately touching a teenage boy in the 1980s. Jacobs’ sentencing happens Wednesday (Sept. 4) at the Victoria Law Courts. – with files from The Columbus Dispatch and Saanich News kslavin@saanichnews.com

Food and drink carts, zodiac among stolen Saanich items A distinctive food cart owned by Dog Nation, a gourmet hot dog vendor, was stolen over the weekend as it was parked in the 3600block of Raymond St. The cart, which is equipped with a sink and a grill, disappeared between Saturday night and Sunday morning. Michael Ransom, co-owner of Dog Nation, says the theft “severely restricts” what the company can do. They have a second cart, but they usually have both carts operating in different locations in downtown Victoria during the summer. “We have shifts for both of those locations and now we can’t operate them both at the same time,” Ransom said, which impacts staffing levels. “It’s been a fairly large cutback to our income and revenue so far.” Ransom said the cart is valued at around $15,000.

The beverage cart has a value of $5,000. And a 10.5-foot zodiac was stolen from the waters of Portage Inlet earlier this month. Saanich police say the boat and all its parts, including a 9.9-horsepower Honda outboard motor, were locked and secured to a dock in the 700block of Newbury St. It disappeared some time between Aug. 5 and Aug. 22, while the owner was on vacation.

Ancient art of farrier takes modern twist Horseshoeing is unlike any other industry, says farrier
the horse pulls its foot away with a nail sticking out from the hoof wall. “I’ve never had a really serious injury and haven’t had any stitches in about six years. I’ll walk away from dangerous horses rather than try to prove how brave I am,” he said,
Travis Paterson News staff
At 17 years of age, Diva has gone through hundreds of horseshoes, and for the past six years farrier Cole Henderson has had the pleasure of fitting them to the big girl’s hooves. Henderson and Diva renew acquaintances about every eight weeks, but you wouldn’t know it from this afternoon. “She’s being complicated and she knows she’s bad too,” says Diva’s owner Taylor Henselin, who last competed in jumping with Diva in the spring. Henderson exercises a blend of safety, patience and skill as he out-waits the fidgety mare. “Usually she locks her legs up and sleeps while I go through the motions,” he says, sighing as she pulls her foot away for the umpteenth time. “It’s not always an easy job but you get to play with horses.” The Scotsman has been working as a farrier for 40 years, off and on. He started in England, hanging around the horse racing tracks, which took him to the heart of American horse racing, Lexington, Ky. Diva kicks again, this time knocking the hammer from his hand. “It’s not like any other industry. For starters, you have to be a blacksmith and you have to know the anatomy of the horse. There’s not many jobs where you hammer a nail into a living animal.” Racing brought him to B.C., too. Though he’s now Saanich-based and works all over the Island, Henderson has worked the racetracks of Vancouver, and with horses on some big-time movie sets. While some things have stayed the same – composite steel is still preferred over the new plastic shoes, which are all-around better – a lot has changed since Henderson started in the 1970s. Until recently, farriers made their own tools. But the biggest change is the travel. “Back in the day, people brought their horses to the farrier’s shop. We didn’t do house visits.” The main reason is the advent of the propane forge used to heat the shoe. Henderson’s truck, which used to serve horses at a New York racetrack, comes with its own propane forge. Farriers previously stoked a coal forge. The portable coal devices took at least 30 minutes to set up and another 45 minutes to cool down, limiting the amount of daily visits. “With the propane forge I can pack up and go in five minutes. I just sold my coal forge to a blacksmithing artist last year as I never use it now,” Henderson says. Medicine has also advanced the life expectancy of horses and broadened the farrier workload. “Horses are kind of like people now in that they are living longer because we can diagnose things
WANTED YOUR USED OUTBOARDS
though that’s not the case with all farriers. “One of the Island’s farriers retired a couple of years ago at age 84 and I expect I’ll be working to that age if I can stay healthy.” sports@vicnews.com

Injuries and disease with the hoof are no longer a death sentence. Almost everything can be cured now.” A little over an hour into the job and Diva’s nearly ready. Her front shoes are on (she doesn’t wear shoes on her hind legs) and her hooves have been trimmed. The hoof, which is made of the same component as hair, grows around the shoe and needs to be clipped, much like a fingernail. Diva relents, mostly because Henselin is holding a bale of hay up to her mouth. The snack is just enough to give Henderson a window to file her hooves with an even finish. “She got her way, food and new shoes,” Henselin says. Diva is usually an accommodating horse, otherwise Henderson might think twice. “There are some very dangerous horses out there, I just don’t have anything to do with them,” Henderson says. A farrier’s Workers Compensation Board rates are among the most highest in B.C., just above underground mining and below forest fire fighting. There are more dangerous jobs, but they’re really just a different type of danger. “However careful you are you pick up a lot of scars – my hands are covered in them,” Henderson said. His legs are marked not just from being kicked by hooves, but by being ripped open when

Butcher’s compassionate approach makes top cut Danielle Pope News staff
People might be surprised, at first, to learn that Lloyd (Meatdogg) McLennan has a deep love of animals. He’s had dogs and other critters all his life, and takes the time to visit each farm he supports to ensure the animals lead vibrant and healthy lives. But to those who know McLennan, this is exactly what sets him apart as one of the Island’s premium and bestregarded butchers. “I can physically take you to each of the farms I buy from and show you how well those animals are raised,” he says. “I purchase the best meats from the best cared-for animals, and people can tell the difference. It is more of an investment, but I don’t care about the cost and, at the end of the day, that care pays off and we make money anyway.” McLennan has been turning heads since taking over Cook Street’s Island Meat & Seafood in January. Yet the man who does everything from slicing to sausage-making is far from new to the industry. McLennan has been working with meat since he was 13 years old, and created the
institution better known as Red Barn Market’s butchery. McLennan, 41, works fast, and with furious precision, as he trims the grey meat off a roast, saws chicken bones and cuts portions of steak – all within mere moments in demonstration for the camera. He talks as fast as he works, and so do his staff. You’ll notice, he points out, that no one in the shop stops moving; there is much to do, but the staff are eager to please McLennan and the friendly camaraderie is clear. Eroc Braidwood, store manager, is the first to apprentice under McLennan. Braidwood worked in the chef industry for many years before coming to Island Meats two years ago. Now, under McLennan’s management, Braidwood says he’s seen the store blossom in ways he’s immensely proud of. “It’s the little details that weren’t getting done before, and Meatdogg and I share that real vision for doing things the right way,” Braidwood says. “My sense of pride is back now, and time just flies when you are working here. We have a lot of fun.” While McLennan spends most of his time preparing meats and products in a backroom, the

McLennan and his shop have won awards for providing superior local products and a reputation for delivering the most compassionate approach to the meat industry. size of a large pantry, he loves interacting with clients – which is why the crew hosts special barbecues every Saturday to
fundraise for the SPCA. He smiles as he points to the photos on the wall displaying some of his suppliers, like
Tannadice Farms in the Comox Valley, Henry & Jones Grass Fed Beef in Cowichan Bay and Kildonan Farm chickens in North Saanich. He boasts about his good friends at Portofino Bakery who have recently helped supply the store with baked goods, he even comments on how you’ll never see exotic meats like veal in his store, as the animals he butchers must be raised and be local. McLennan and his store also build a reputation on a “no growth-hormones, no antibiotics” mantra. And, Island Meats recently won first runner-up for favourite local meat or poultry supplier in the We Heart Local Awards. But while the nod is appreciated, the real win for McLennan is in the relationships he’s built with members of the urban and farm communities. “I spend more time with the cuts, because I’ll never sell you anything I wouldn’t eat, and I won’t eat this,” McLennan says, pointing to the grey sinewy layer he’s just trimmed off a roast. “A lot of places will turn this part into sausage, or use it other ways, but it’s garbage for me. I can’t justify ripping you off – of your money or nutrition.” news@mondaymag.com

Harbour authority produces $839,000 profit Daniel Palmer News staff
The Greater Victoria Harbour Authority touted nothing but good news at its annual general meeting last Thursday. The non-profit society’s $8.3 million in revenues were boosted by a record cruise ship season with 224 ship calls bringing 503,675 passengers to Ogden Point last summer. “This last year was very eventful for us with the restoration of the historic Steamship Terminal in partnership with the Provincial Capital

Shoe-repair business has never been better Daniel Palmer News staff
The scent of glue, vinyl, leather and polish lingers like a thin fog inside Old Towne Shoe Repair. Mike Waterman shuffles through ribbons of black dust along the concrete floor before sliding a weathered boot onto a steel arm, tracing its eroded sole beneath a neoprene rubber sheet. The cobbler’s cramped workspace in the 600-block of Johnson St. hasn’t been renovated since its 1985 opening, though a half-dozen century-old machines give the impression of a staged museum. “People come in all the time and say, ‘Don’t change a thing,’” Waterman says, his hands exploring a torn leather purse strap. He pulls out a 1905 eyelet press and thuds it on the table. Despite the proliferation of cheap, one-season footwear, Waterman
says business has never been better. “What’s really coincided with my business picking up is the recycling concept. It took a long time for the idea of less consumption to catch on, but now people fix rather than throw away.” A senior couple wander through the open shop door, peering at the stacks of mismatched shoes along the far wall. “I just couldn’t walk by without looking in here,” says the woman, on vacation from Montana. “We don’t have places like this where I’m from.” Waterman exchanges pleasantries with the couple from behind his vintage industrial sewing machine, methodically cranking its wheel while working the crest of a boot past its needle. “People can always relate to the trades,” he says as the couple disappear onto the street. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Commission,” said president and CEO Curtis Grad. After expenses, the GVHA still raked in $839,000, representing an 11 per cent increase over 2011 financials. The increase was attributed in part to market-rate moorage fee adjustments at Inner Harbour marinas. The GVHA ran into controversy earlier this year when its directors rejected City of Victoria appointee Coun. Shellie Gudgeon to the board, citing a lack of marina and tourism expertise. GVHA chair Bill Wellburn and the board later backtracked on the decision;
the board is now reviewing a 2011 policy change that allows directors to reject and approve publicly elected officials from the board. The GVHA board is comprised of one director each from the City of Victoria, Township of Esquimalt, Esquimalt Nation, Songhees Nation, the Provincial Capital Commission, the Victoria/ Esquimalt Harbour Society, Tourism Victoria, the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce and the Capital Regional District. Another four directors are appointed from the community at large. dpalmer@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW
Watershed time for B.C. Greens The election of renowned climate scientist Andrew Weaver in May gave the B.C. Green party its first sitting member in the legislature in eight provincial elections. As the party moves forward without a confirmed leader, however, it risks The time is now painting itself into for Green party a corner and being rendered a one-hit to gain ground wonder. With the euphoria of Weaver’s victory over longtime Liberal cabinet minister Ida Chong in Oak Bay-Gordon Head having long since faded, the Greens must now face reality. This is a party that lost ground for a third straight election, taking barely eight per cent of the popular vote in the province after achieving a high of 12.4 per cent in 2001, when the NDP were all but wiped out. They are a party at a crossroads. Interim leader Adam Olsen, the energetic, well-spoken former Central Saanich councillor who has a clear sense of Green policy, is a placeholder for now. While he may be seen amongst party faithful as a solid banner carrier, the chances he would inspire voters outside Greater Victoria to switch allegiances seem highly unlikely. Jane Sterk, whose political experience was limited to one term on Esquimalt council, wasn’t the person to take the Greens to the next level, either locally or provincially. Weaver, the “rock star” candidate who brought instant credibility to the party, made the right decision to pass on the leadership job as he learns the ropes as a rookie MLA. The Greens, who put many of their eggs in one basket to get Weaver elected, must put the same effort into finding the right leader if they hope to become a relevant alternative to the traditional parties in B.C. in future elections. With federal leader Elizabeth May already well established in Saanich North and the Islands, the Green movement has a golden opportunity to gain even more of a foothold.

Trails were simply footpaths through existing parks back then. Now, our trail system connects the entire municipality, with more than 100 kilometres of trails connected by the Centennial Trail network and the Galloping Goose and Lochside trails. Mount Douglas Park was potentially a crew-cut park – land protected at the top, development along the slopes – but today the entire area has been acquired. More recently, Panama Flats and Haro Woods have been acquired and protected. Senior centres have been added, libraries upgraded and playgrounds are well beyond what were simple swing sets. Such achievements require significant commitment, resources and money. Saanich councils over the years have endorsed policies that provide a framework for these expansions. Our staff have embraced this as part of our culture and are keen to ensure all citizens have opportunities to lead active lives. However, none of this is possible without the support of our taxpayers. Parks and recreation is now our third largest budget expense behind police and fire. A Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plan was adopted in March and is consistent with our policy of Saanich being a healthy and active community. We hope this continues to be supported, not only by citizens using our parks, trails and recreation facilities, but through council approving expenditures required to meet this need. Frank Leonard has been mayor of Saanich since 1996.

A solution to the deer problem People are going about the deer problem from the wrong angle. I estimate 80 per cent of people want a cull and 20 per cent want the deer. The deer lovers tell the rest of us to build a giant fence for a few grand or take up fishing (which I hate) instead of gardening. I say the deer lovers build a giant fence, grow some lovely plants for the deer to eat then lock the gate and keep them in. Then they can

Grad takes up Canada cycling challenge Joe Campbell bicycles across the nation after graduating from university in Newfoundland Daniel Palmer News staff
Every April, thousands of students migrate from their ivory towers back to their respective hometowns, criss-crossing the country by plane, car, bus and train. But when Joe Campbell graduated from Memorial University of Newfoundland’s music program last spring, he decided to make his final journey home to Vancouver Island one to remember. “It took four months to the day,” Campbell says of the 8,500-kilometre cycling trip he completed last week from St. John’s to Victoria. “It was just really a small idea that grew and grew in my mind. It started with one conversation with a friend of mine several years back
and I never really let it go.” The 29-year-old didn’t make the punishing trip to raise money for charity or to bring awareness to a cause. He simply wanted to challenge himself and experience the vast distance between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans at a slower pace. “I’d been around the West Coast and obviously to Newfoundland, but that was it,” he says. “I definitely learned a lot about B.C.” Once Campbell stopped meticulously checking his GPS and other metrics, he began enjoying the ride for what it is, rather than getting frustrated by the end goal. “You learn patience, and you learn how to maintain perspective, otherwise you get depressed because you feel like you’re not even moving,” he says. Armed with his Surly Long Haul Trucker bicycle and a minimal pack of gear, Campbell departed St. John’s April 21, and was thankful to miss a whopping 54-centimetre snow dump that came just a few weeks later. “I probably saw every type of weather other than snow,” he says. He managed not to pay for accommo-
dation for a single night of the journey, choosing instead to camp in rural areas and couch-surf with friends, relatives and generous people he met along the way. Fellow cyclists were always willing to share their experiences as they passed along the barren highways of Northern Ontario, the Prairies and the epic climbs of the Rocky Mountains. Campbell recalls a 71-year-old Japanese man who was making the crosscountry trip, and another man who was walking from Thunder Bay to the Atlantic Ocean, a 4,000-km trip. “It’s really easy, when something’s not going the right way, to concentrate on that, and it becomes almost like poison,” he says. While he’s already planning his next touring ride through Southeast Asia next year, Campbell offers simple advice to anyone looking to accomplish a similar feat and get through the day-to-day physical grind. “It’s just about attitude,” he says.

New federal riding for South Island New federal electoral boundaries in the Capital Region are now finalized, and there are no surprises for local voters. The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission released its final report last week, creating a seventh seat on Vancouver Island and another six seats across B.C. The newly created riding of Cowichan-Malahat-Langford groups Langford and the Highlands with its western communities, while Saanich-Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca encompasses Sooke, Colwood, Esquimalt, View Royal, Metchosin and a part of Saanich. Local MP Randall Garrison successfully fought to include Esquimalt in the title of the new riding. Federal ridings are reviewed every 10 years with a goal of creating areas of roughly 105,000 people. To view the final changes, visit federal-redistribution.ca. editor@saanichnews.com

Gaining strength from those who can’t ride Kyle Slavin News staff
Marc Lavergne spent four years watching his father slowly lose his life, as a nonaggressive form of bladder cancer took away his independence. “He went from a very strong-willed, physical individual to a person that just had to sit down in his chair and watch life go by. And that was very hard for him,” says Lavergne, ceremonial, protocol and advisory NCO for the Island District RCMP. “I remember watching him watch people cut his grass – that was one of the most painful things. He was still at home, not physically able to get outside. That really set him back.” Lavergne, a father of three girls, says it’s impossible to fathom just how taxing going through that experience would be for a parent of a child with cancer. Trying to put himself in those parents’ shoes is what’s helping motivate him through every Tour de Rock training ride, every hill and every pedal-stroke he takes. “I can do this. It’s by no means an easy task, but I am physically able, and I want to do it,” he says. Ray Carfantan is in a very similar boat. Also a father of three girls, he knows how fortunate he is that all of them are healthy. “As a father I’m very lucky. I don’t have kids with cancer. So my hope in terms of the ride and trying to make things better for kids is a bit of an insurance policy in the event their kids are diagnosed with something. I want to do my part for cancer research and treatment, so they’re further down the road than they are today,” says Carfantan, staff sergeant in charge of the Island District general investigation section. Carfantan, like Lavergne, also watched cancer slowly take his father’s life. “That process was excruciating. Knowing the end was coming and wanting to have conversations that you haven’t had, deeper conversations that you’ve never really attempted to be able to have,” Carfantan says. “It really hits home when you talk to a parent

that lost a child to cancer.” Those parents will never have the chance to watch their child experience life, he says, and it’s that harsh reality that motivates him to ride. Jennifer Prunty, while not a parent, had her own cancer scare last summer that put the fragility of life into perspective. A pink mole above her left knee turned out to be a fast-developing melanoma. She treated it aggressively – having it twice removed and requiring a lymph node biopsy – and thankfully doctors were successful in removing it all. “That was my wake-up call. Cancer can hit any time, when you least expect it,” she says. “It kind of sent us for a Tilt-A-Whirl, and I decided everything is going on hold next year, and I’m doing the Tour de Rock.” Prunty, an RCMP officer working for the Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crimes Unit, says Tour is her way giving back. “Cancer is still a really scary word. I just can’t imagine how horrible that would be to hear that your small child (who) you have all these
expectations for has cancer,” she says. That perspective makes her want to do as much as she can to raise money for a cure and support programs for these kids and their families. The three RCMP officers are all members of this year’s 21-person Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team. The team, made up of police officers, members of the media and special guests, will cycle 1,100 kilometres from Port Alice to Victoria next month raising money for pediatric cancer research and support programs. “Yeah, it would be a lot easier to make a donation, but there’s a commitment and passion involved in the Tour de Rock. It’s my responsibility as a police officer who can do this to do it,” Prunty says. “I’m healthy; I’m fit; there’s no reason why I can’t. There’s a lot of people who are going through cancer treatments who would like to do this who physically can’t so it’s my responsibility to grab it and do it.” kslavin@saanichnews.com

Labour Day 2013 around the region Greater Victorians are ready to send summer out with a bang this weekend. Sure, the calendar may say there’s another three weeks to our favourite sunny season, but for most families, Labour Day marks the end of summer and back to work and school, so let’s make the most of it! Many will take the time Monday to recognize the contributions of the country’s workers; others will spend the weekend creating special
moments with friends and neighbours, making memories to be shared for summers to come. From yummy food at Greek Fest and unique cultural activities like the Fringe Festival and Blues Bash to Butchart Gardens fireworks and the fun and games of the Saanich Fair, the only trouble may be in finding time for it all. So here we invite you to browse these pages and make a plan to enjoy a Labour Day weekend to remember.
From family fun at the Victoria Labour Council picnic to Greek Fest and the Saanich Fair, there’s lots to see and do this weekend!

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, Que. 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 practise 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 practise. 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 audience 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 Aug. 31-Sept. 2.

The World’s end - A new horror-comedy by the creators of Shaun of the Dead is disappointingly slapdash and a bit short on laughs. See it on the big screen at the Odeon, SilverCity and Westshore. Supplied photo.
BY ROBERT MOYES arts@mondaymag.com
Apocalyptic Pub Crawl
A
lthough anything by the creators of Shaun of the Dead is potentially of great interest, their new horror-comedy The World’s End is disappointingly slapdash and a bit short on the laughs. The movie opens with aging bad-boy Gary King (Simon Pegg) cajoling his four best mates from high school into a beer-soaked reunion. The plan is to return to their hometown to finally complete the elaborate pub-crawl that ended so ignominiously for them 20 years earlier. A very bad idea, as it turns out. Unkempt and unshaven, motor-mouth Gary has remnants of his youthful panache but is mostly an immature jerk – so much so that his friends, who have all long-since become responsible adults, are ready to abandon the boozy ne’er do well after quaffing only four pints. But then they discover that the town is populated by replicant robots. Needless to say it’s soon a case of man versus machine as End upshifts from you-can’t-go-home-again bittersweet nostalgia to an apocalyptic scrap. It’s easy to want to like this movie: at its core are five decent actors playing characters who are having a collective mid-life crisis that is funny and occasionally touching. But all the sci-fi stuff that drives the plot is just silliness that doesn’t go anywhere, leading to a movie with throwaway gags and nothing much on its mind (with Shaun, the movie began with the droll idea that the citizens of London were already a bit zombiefied even before the undead starting their chomping). And although Gary is supposed to be a lovable rascal, you’re mostly rooting for one of his mates to dump a pint of ale on his annoying fat head.

T
he mayhem is much more gruesome in You’re Next, a diabolically clever slasher flick that takes the home-invasion genre and kicks it up several notches. It’s a couple’s 35th wedding anniversary, and they’re celebrating at their remote summerhouse with four adult children and various spouses and partners. During dinner a crossbow bolt shatters a window and ends up in the middle of someone’s forehead. Shock turns to horror as these terrified folk soon realize that there are maniacs out there with animal masks on their faces and butchery on their minds. And so it goes, with the body count – and the screams – steadily increasing. What could have been just a better-than-average slice of slaughter-porn suddenly gets interesting when one of the guests with an unusual survivalist background proves very resourceful when it comes to fighting back. After one of the bad guys has his skull pulped to grey jelly by an oversize meat tenderizer, the movie unexpectedly tilts from massacre to fair fight – one with a generous helping of plot twists. It’s probably impossible to really scare audiences these days but Next comes pretty close, thanks to the director’s ability to both manipulate and surprise the audience. Declining to wallow in excessive sadism, the script uses standard horror tropes in fresh ways, and also adds an impressively pitch-black sense of humour to several scenes. Not to all tastes of course, but splatter fans will have a shockingly fine time with this anything-but-peaceful visit to the country.

ith an epic pub-crawl as the plot line for World’s End, let’s limit ourselves to one epic beer: Dark Matter, by local brewing icon Sean Hoyne. Okay, maybe it’s not exactly one of the great mysteries of astrophysics, but this Dark Matter is an impressive ale indeed, one that combines aspects of a stout, a porter, and a brown ale. There is heft here, but delicacy too, alongside flavours of mocha, caramel, and a hint of chocolate and coffee. Yum!
movie listings OPENING
CLOSED CIRCUIT -(Empire 6/Empire Uni 4) Eric Bana stars in a timely British thriller about a lawyer asked to represent a man accused of a terrorist bombing. When he looks a little too deeply into the case, Britain’s security apparatus starts to take a threatening interest in his activities. Started Wed. ★★★ THE GRANDMASTER -(Odeon) Art film auteur Kar Wai Wong (In The Mood For Love) directs his first martial arts epic with this absorbing, gorgeously filmed account of the legendary martial-arts teacher Ip Man (who coached Bruce Lee). Starring the great Tony Leung (Hero) and Ziyi Zhang (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon). Starts Fri. THE GETAWAY -(SilverCity/ Empire 6) Ethan Hawke stars in a high-velocity thriller about a gifted drag racer who gets blackmailed into doing the bidding of a scary man with a mysterious agenda. Costarring Selena Gomez and Jon Voight. Starts Fri. IN A WORLD -(Odeon) There’s quite a buzz surrounding this comedy about an underachieving vocal coach who becomes motivated to become a star in the world of movie voice-overs. Starts Fri. ONE DIRECTION: THIS IS US -(SilverCity/Westshore) This musical documentary chronicles the meteoric rise of Niall, Zayn, Louis and Harry from their small-town beginnings to world fame as rock stars. Starts Fri. ★★½ RED 2 -(Roxy, 7 pm) Newcomer Anthony Hopkins joins Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, Bruce Willis, and Mary-Louise Parker as they reprise their roles as retired CIA “black ops” agents marked for death by their own agency. Although not as good as the 2010 original, this is entertaining enough, mostly due to the sly dialogue and killer performances. Starts Fri.
CONTINUING
★★★★ BLUE JASMINE -(Odeon) Cate Blanchett is headed for an Oscar nomination for her role as an emotionally fragile woman struggling to recover after her life as a glamorous socialite implodes. Complete with a great cast, this is one of Woody Allen’s best films. Ever. CHENNAI EXPRESS -(Empire 6) South India is the setting for this exuberant, Bollywood-style actioncomedy starring Shah Rukh Khan. THE CROODS -(Caprice) A prehistoric family taking an unexpected “road trip” into a magical land is the plot of this whimsical animated charmer (which has been getting great reviews). With the vocal talents of Emma Stone, Nicolas Cage, and Ryan Reynolds. EPIC -(Caprice) In this animated family adventure a teenage girl is magically transported to a deep forest setting where she bands together with a wacky crew of critters to help battle a terrifyingly dark force that is threatening their world … and ours. ★★½ DESPICABLE ME 2 -(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. See review. FRUITVALE STATION -(Odeon) There is lots of buzz around this truthbased reenactment of the turbulent last day of a young black man in 2008. Starts Fri. GROWN UPS 2 -(Caprice) Despite the name, expect the humour to be decidedly juvenile in this amiable raunchfest about the reunion of five school buddies, who have aged but not matured. Starring Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James, Rob Schneider and David Spade. JOBS -(Empire 6) Ashton Kutcher stars in a promising portrait of Steve Jobs, the college dropout who started a computer revolution that helped define and beautify the wireless world. KICK-ASS 2 -(Caprice) Expect more hard-edged laughs and jokey violence in this sequel to the big hit about a teenage girl (Chloe Grace Moretz) who was trained as a vigilante by her father. The costars include Jim Carrey, Morris Chestnut, and John Leguizamo. LEE DANIELS’ THE BUTLER -(Odeon/Empire Uni 4) Forest Whitaker heads up an amazing cast in a drama about a black butler at the White House whose long tenure there overlapped with many powerful domestic and international political events. Costarring Vanessa Redgrave, Oprah Winfrey, David Oyelowo, Terrence Howard, James Marsden, Jane Fonda and Alan Rickman. ★★½ THE HEAT -(Caprice) In this raucous and sometimes hit-and-miss comedy from Paul Feig (Knocked Up), Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids) play oddcouple cops who will have to learn to work together if they are to stand a chance of taking down the drug lord who’s their assigned target. ★★ THE LONE RANGER -(Caprice) More proves to be less, as the classic western TV show from the 1950s that featured a masked lawman and his Native American sidekick gets a predictably bombastic treatment from director Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean). Starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer. THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS: CITY OF BONES -(Empire 6/ SilverCity/Westshore) Only the bones were left after the critics universally savaged this derivative, overwrought tale of a young woman who discovers that she has unusual powers as she gets drawn into a battle involving a band of angel-like

creatures struggling to squash a demonic threat to the entire world. ★★★½ PACIFIC RIM -(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. ★★ PERCY JACKSON: SEA OF MONSTERS -(Empire 6/SilverCity) In this newest addition to the blandly derivative fantasy series that riffs on Greek mythology, the half-human son of Poseidon and his buddies embark on a magical quest to find the Golden Fleece in order to stop an ancient evil from destroying the world. PLANES -(Empire 6/SilverCity/ Westshore) The same people who made Cars have taken to the skies with a similar family-friendly animated tale about a crop-dusting plane with dreams of winning a famous aerial race. SMURFS 2 -(SilverCity/Westshore) The blue munchkins are back for more pint-sized adventures, this one involving a sorcerer and a diabolical kidnapping. ★ R.I.P.D. -(Caprice) Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds star in a dismal action comedy that is nothing more than a crass ripoff of Men In Black. Bridges, who plays an “undead cop” who patrols the Earth looking for weird monsters to exterminate, should probably return the Oscar he received for Crazy Heart. 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 WORLD’S END -(Odeon/SilverCity/Westshore) In a disappointing but occasionally funny follow-up from the makers of Shaun of the Dead, five old friends reunite for a pub crawl only to find themselves in a droll sci-fi action-adventure of epic proportions. Starring Simon Pegg. See review. ★★½ WE’RE THE MILLERS -(Odeon/SilverCity) Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston star in a crass comedy about a long-time pot dealer who hires a stripper and two feral teens to pretend to be his middle class family as cover for when he smuggles a massive load of weed across the border from Mexico to the States. Intermittently quite funny, this is a case of talented performers struggling with a second-rate script. ★★★ WOLVERINE -(SilverCity/ Westshore) Hairy-faced and Adamantium-clawed Hugh Jackman travels to Japan to confront the diabolical Silver Samurai, in an entertaining Marvel Comics smackdown that combines X-Men flair with martial arts and Yakuza elements. Directed by James Mangold (Walk The Line, 3:10 to Yuma).
weekend ★★★ WORLD WAR Z -(Roxy, 9pm) Countries topple and armies shatter in the face of a zombie pandemic, as a shaggy-haired Brad Pitt tries to save the world. This is an intense and intelligent movie that uses zombies to embody the more plausible horror of a SARS-like threat to the planet. ★★★ YOU’RE NEXT -(Empire 6) If sunny summer fun isn’t your style, maybe check out this clever and darkly funny home-invasion splatterfest about a gang of maniacs that attacks a family . . . only to discover that someone in the house is even better at killing than they are. See review.

CINECENTA
Cinecenta at UVic screens its films in the Student Union Building. Info: 721-8365. cinecenta.com. LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED -(Fri.-Sat., Aug. 30-31: 7:00, 9:15) The latest from celebrated Danish director Susanne Bier (Brothers) is a wry romantic comedy very much aimed at adults. With Pierce Brosnan. ★★★½ MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING -(Sun.-Mon., Aug. Sept. 1-2: 7:00, 9:10) Talented director Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Avengers) takes on the Bard with a modern-day retelling of Shakespeare’s classic comedy about two pairs of lovers with very different ideas about life and love. This is a sharp, funny and engaging bit of filmmaking. ★★★★ JURASSIC PARK -(Tues., Sept. 3: 7pm, 9:20) Steven Spielberg’s classic 1993 tale of a dinosaur theme park where the toothy critters unexpectedly run amok should set the tone rather nicely for a new semester at university. ★★★THIS IS THE END -(Wed.Thurs., Sept. 4-5: 7:15, 9:20) In this truly wacked comedy, stars such as Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel and Jonah Hill play themselves as they party at James Franco’s house — only to find themselves confronting a terrifying, demon-filled apocalypse. Although a bit over-praised and rather slapdash, this is also very funny (in a shamelessly crude sort of way).

National-bound Vikes sweep Ivy League tour The UVic Vikes women's field hockey team ran a perfect table during its annual New England trip this week. The tour was the team’s first test ahead of a big season as it prepares to host the CIS National Championship, Oct. 31 to Nov. 2. The Vikes beat Yale 3-1, Harvard 4-1 and Dartmouth 6-3 on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday, respectively. Second-year player Amanda Amanda Kurianowicz Kurianowicz led the Vikes with two goals against Yale and four more against Dartmouth. Kathleen Leahy and Rosie Beale both scored twice during the tour. “We may be hosting the championship this year. But we want to deserve and earn our spot at the tournament," said head coach Lynne Beecroft, in her 30th season with the club. The Vikes start the Canada West season Sept. 21 in Calgary. UVic’s home opener is against the UBC Thunderbirds on Sept. 28 and 29 at the UVic turf. For the full schedule visit govikesgo.com.
Cougars clip Bucs in VIJHL exhibition Newcomers Mitch Maloney and Howard Howden each scored a goal on Tuesday as the Victoria Cougars beat the Nanaimo Buccaneers 3-1 in Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League exhibition play at Archie Browning Sports Centre.

David Marshall chipped in with a pair of assists. Splitting the goaltending duties for the Cougars were Connor Beauchamp and Kyriakos Aniyatos, while former South Island Thunderbird Ryan Waldhaus played part of the game in net for the Buccaneers. The Cougars’ final preseason game is against the Westshore Wolves at Archie Browning on Sunday (Sept. 1) at 4:15 p.m.

Grizz lead with rebuilt blue line Grizzlies host Caps at Juan de Fuca Travis Paterson News staff
While other B.C. Hockey League teams continued to cut players this week, Bill Bestwick’s biggest decision was how to configure his Victoria Grizzlies’ line pairings. The Grizzlies are on the ice at 7 p.m. tonight (Aug. 30) for an exhibition game at Juan de Fuca Arena versus the Cowichan Capitals. The two teams will play again tomorrow night in Duncan. It’s worth a reminder that general manager and head coach Bestwick’s lineup for 2013-14 is rekindled from a team that he and assistant GM/coach Craig Didmon whipped up in six weeks during a whirlwind summer of 2012. They rebuilt a mighty engine considering the short notice. That roster nearly drove the team to the 2012-13 regular season championship before getting knocked out of the playoffs in the second round. It makes this season Bestwick and Didmon’s first chance to ice a team with long-term success in mind, which meant making some tough trades in the offseason. “We traded to make room to recruit the players we want and
this was our first chance to do that,” Bestwick said. As a result the Grizzlies are made up of 50 per cent rookies. It’s not unheard of, but the players will need a few games, or weeks, to adjust to the speed and tempo of junior A, he said. “You can prepare them for it but until they the experience junior A on the ice they don’t know what it is.” Tonight Bestwick is stressing the Grizzlies play with structure and within the system more than they did in their 6-2 win on Sunday and Travis Paterson/News staff their 4-2 loss on Satur- Alex Adams is one of five Grizzlies from the same Toronto high school, day against the Alberni St. Andrew’s College, with Rory McGuire, Jacob Kearley, Jake Stirling and Bulldogs.

It’s also no secret that Best- play and drove much of the Leading the way is over-ager
offence from the back end. Bestwick’s room-making trades also moved captain Zach Urban and two of the team’s bigger players from last year, Jaden Schmeisser and Kade Pilton. “We’ve brought in size, but size isn’t enough on its own. You need mobility and we’ve tried to add that as well,” Bestwick said. At 6-foot-2, 205 lbs., Adams is looking to fill the leadership gap left vacant by Urban and Jones, while also playing a multi-faceted game. “There’s a lot of young, new guys, and a lot of opportunity hopefully for me on the power play and penalty kill. I hope to be a team leader and contribute on and off the ice,” said Adams, who accrued 118 penalty minutes last season in 43 games. While Adams is also hoping to be a regular contributor to the Grizzlies’ attack, all indications so far are that Nick Charif, of Edmonton, can replace Jones. “Charif moves the puck well, will provide offence five-on-five, and can recreate (what Jones did) and there’s a chance he could be even better,” Bestwick said. The Grizzlies start the regular season at the BCHL Showcase in Chilliwack agains the Penticton Vees on Sept. 6 and Salmon Arm Silverbacks on Sept. 7. sports@vicnews.com
