What’s the difference between a hairdresser and a barber? About $20. It’s a joke Happy Coxford shares with the men who fill the waiting bench of the Oak Bay Barber Shoppe. They all laugh and exchange a few stories, but there’s truth in jest. Coxford has been searching for a new hire to fill the second chair of his shop on Estevan Avenue – though he’s given up now. The trouble is, Coxford is one of the few remaining old-school barbers in the district, and his true boys-club location is one of the last

SALE EVENT
where men go to get a trim and, well, let off steam. “Most guys don’t know the difference between a good hair cut and a bad one, and they don’t care. They come in here because their wives told them to get a cut, and their wives will be the ones to say if it’s good or not,” Coxford says. What sets a barber apart, in reality, he says, is an ability to use clippers and understand the complexities of a short cut. Coxford makes it look easy as he steadily buzzes through a client every 15 minutes or so, all the while chatting and joking with the room full of waiting men. Yet a careful eye can
witness his intricate hand, the varying levels he uses with the clippers and his casual but exacting approach to each hair. Of course, there’s an ambiance of openness that comes along with the cut. “I don’t let children in here, and do you know why that is? Because I don’t want their mothers in here,” he says with a laugh. “And I don’t cut women’s hair … we’d have to spend the first 15 minutes just talking about how it would make your cheekbones look, and I don’t have time for that.” PlEASE SEE: Oak Bay barber one of the last, Page A8

Federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May accused the Conservative government Wednesday of “doing Enbridge's homework” with $120 million program to study ocean weather and behaviour of heavy oil spills in the ocean around Kitimat. At a news conference in Victoria, May added her voice to that of Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver, who raised questions in the B.C. legislature in July about an ocean monitoring project in support of oil tanker exports as proposed by Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline project. May and Weaver released leaked documents they say show Ottawa spending $78 million this year and $42 million next year for marine weather monitoring and determining how diluted bitumen from the Alberta oil sands would behave in a spill. May said federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty changed the federal budget documents this year to conceal changes to ministry and program spending, making it impossible for MPs to identify spending on programs such as the ocean monitoring on B.C.’s North Coast. “These documents were never made available publicly, and were never made available to parliamentarians,” said May. “As a federal parliamentarian, I am shocked that he [Prime Minister Stephen Harper] seems to think it’s OK to hide this information from parliamentarians while greasing the wheels for Enbridge. … Mr. Harper has a lot of explaining to do.” Federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver issued a statement Wednesday, rejecting May's accusation of secrecy. Oliver said he announced the program publicly in Vancouver in March. FINE CUSTOM JEWELLERS “Work on tanker safety is critical to ensure we have we have world-class marine safety on Canada's coastlines,” Oliver said. “While the Green Party and the NDP oppose resource development projects before the science is in, our government will not make decisions until an independent scientific review determines they are safe for Canadians and safe for the environment.”

Cruise business going strong
Holland America’s Zaandam, pulls into the Ogden Point docks in April. The arrival was the first of 210 ship stops in Victoria for the 2013 season.
Five millionth passenger symbolically marked last week Daniel Palmer News staff
Cruise ship season is winding down for another year, by the end of which 210 vessels and more than 464,000 tourists will have passed through Ogden Point. While the numbers are down slightly from last year’s recordbreaking 503,000 visitors, the local cruise industry hit a milestone last week as the five-millionth passenger made a port of call in Victoria. Newlyweds Michael Alastair Nace and Patricia Louise Guthrie of Santee, Calif. shared the honour on Aug. 30, courtesy of Tourism Victoria.
“Cruise is a very strong foundational piece for the (tourism) industry. It allows other businesses to grow and develop,” said Curtis Grad, president and CEO of the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority. While the ever-expanding cruise ships don’t benefit the hotel industry during their stay, they translate to upwards of 7,000 passengers filtering into downtown restaurants, stores and beyond for adventure experiences and sightseeing every weekend. “Butchart (Gardens) is obviously the strongest tourism product we have, bar none, but I would venture to guess that without cruise, a lot of smaller

attractions would have a much more difficult time surviving in difficult times, like the ones we’ve been through in the last three or four years,” Grad said. The demographic of cruise ship passengers is progressively younger, he said, with more families choosing to cruise. “You often see three generations travelling together as well.” Final passenger tallies won’t be released until October after the final ship has come and gone, but Ogden Point will be ready for another banner year in 2014, Grad said. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Work on damaged terminal to begin soon Nearly two months after the MV Coho slammed into an Inner Harbour marina, the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority is finalizing plans to rebuild the docks. On July 10, the Port Angeles ferry hit the former Hyack Air floatplane terminal as it was reversing in front of the Victoria Regent Hotel, causing around $80,000 in damage and destroying the docks. Fortunately, no boats or planes were moored there at the time. Insurance claims have now been finalized between Black Ball Ferry

Line and the harbour authority, which purchased the facility in June. “We’re going to do a bit of a reconfiguration to get better use of the facility, but essentially, what the insurance pays for is the same amount of linear dock space,” said Curtis Grad, GVHA president and CEO. “We may even choose to invest more money in additional dock space.” Work is expected to begin later this fall. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Firefighters and top chefs are teaming up to get dirty, battle tough obstacles and cook a gourmet dish from foraged foods for the sixth annual Chef Survival Challenge at Madrona Farm in Saanich. Saanich firefighter Dave Ball says he is excited to take part in the event. His enthusiasm is running high in anticipation of both the obstacle course and the cooking components. “This is going to be a lot of fun and I can bring my kids and they can see how food is grown,” Ball said. “I have a real love for the outdoors.” The event begins at 1 p.m. on Sunday (Sept. 8) with an obstacle course, including haystack hurdles, old-fashioned monkey bars, a balance beam over a mud pit and an irrigation pipe crawl. “We are going to have the hottest chefs and the finest firefighters,” said Nathalie Chambers,

Kudos to city’s cruise industry Tourism in Victoria is in ship-shape according to the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority. The region welcomed its five-millionth cruise ship passenger last week – the title officially granted jointly to newlyweds Michael Nace and Patricia Guthrie of Santee, Calif. on Aug. 30. It was the icing on the cake for the harbour authority, which recorded a banner year. And it is not alone. Early numbers indicate Victoria enjoyed the best tourist season since 2008 this year, beginning in the spring and heating up along with the summer weather. Hotel occupancy was up 1.5 per cent compared to last year and the average daily room rate increased by more than $10 this quarter. Aside from hotel rooms, the cruise ship industry is integral to that success. In 2001, a mere 71 ships arrived at Ogden Point, compared to the 210 scheduled to enter the port this year, including the Celebrity Solstice, one of the largest ships at sea, which brings up to 3,000 passengers and 1,000 crew to the city each week. With tourism numbers down across the country, not to mention Greater Victoria’s lull over the last few years, those coming by sea are an integral part of the brighter tourism picture in our region. The cruise industry now brings in approximately 15 per cent of the estimated three million visitors to Victoria each year. Reaching the five-million mark is a coup for the harbour authority, especially in light of the fact that it is a not-for-profit corporation that operates Fisherman’s Wharf, Ship Point in the Inner Harbour, Wharf and Johnson Street marinas. The ships bring a consistent flow of tourists that bolster each community event and increase the lively, vibrant feel of the city that entices visitors to return. Despite issues with its neighbours, which the harbour authority continues to address, the cruise ship business is clearly good for the region and should be given our support and congratulations.

Even as an adult taking taekwondo I felt silly in a gi, even though everyone else was wearing them too. I felt so awkward that I opted for kick boxing instead. In the past couple of years I’ve managed to lose more than 90 pounds and I feel the Drop Zone is something I can do now, that maybe I couldn’t have before. Then I think about the children that are able to go to camp through East Seals fundraisers such as this. Without the specialized camp, many of these children would never have the opportunity to experience a unique week of summer fun. While this is a personal challenge for myself, I also want to challenge all Black Press readers to donate to the cause. If together we can raise $2,400, we can cover the cost of sending one kid to camp. All I can do now is remind myself that Drop Zone is for the children and it’s another opportunity for me to get out of my element, experience something new and hopefully have another memorable experience that will stay with me for life.

LETTERS Cedar Hill Golf Course a source of pride in Saanich Re: Rec opportunities abound in Saanich (vicnews.com, Aug. 29) I find it interesting that Mayor Leonard failed to mention Cedar Hill Golf Course in this article. The golf course does pre-date his time in municipal politics, but he certainly had some influence on its operation since being elected. It was a cash cow for Saanich for years, with profits used to subsidize other recreation facilities. It is unfortunate that Saanich did not have the foresight to put some of those proceeds aside for the golf course when it needed some work done on the irrigation and drainage, or to carry the facility through the recent economic downturn. However, positive things are now happening and the golf course is in the best shape it’s ever been in, thanks to the skill and efforts of the grounds crew – Saanich employees who clearly take pride in their jobs. There are very few municipalities that can claim a full, 18-hole golf course among their assets and Cedar Hill Golf Course is truly a gem. It should be a source of pride to the Saanich Parks and Recreation department and certainly to the mayor as well. Val Mieras President, Cedar Hill Golf Club
Unacceptable treatment of pets a serious matter to consider

Doggone good time B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union member Pam Desjardine relaxes with her dogs, Sissy, 10 left, and Spirit, 9, at the annual Labour Day picnic at Irving Park in James Bay. The event featured information booths, family activities, entertainment and free lunch for kids. Desjardine says she never misses the picnic rain or shine because she (and the dogs) enjoy the music.
Weaver’s actions somehow ignored
Re: Man faces animal cruelty charges (News, Aug. 28) I read that this man abused an animal in 2009 and again in May 2013. It absolutely infuriates me. Why would it be all right for him to have a pet again for a third time? Abusing an animal once is completely unacceptable and terribly cruel. In my opinion, if a person abuses an animal once they should never be allowed to have a pet again, ever. Also if one cannot provide basic needs for an animal such as shelter, water and food, they should seriously reconsider adopting the pet. All pets deserve to have their basic needs provided for by a responsible owner who will also give much love and attention to their pet. After all, pets are part of the family and one loves and cares for family members.
Re: Watershed time for B.C. Greens (Our View, Aug. 30) Your editorial is timely. Some of us who live in Oak Bay-Gordon Head riding were dismayed that the Green candidate, Andrew Weaver and his party were not held to the same standard as other candidates and parties. For example, while every other party produced a cost estimate of their promises, the Greens chose not to. Hence it was impossible, from a rational analysis of the multitude of promises in their Green Book, to identify either any sense of priorities or a coherent implementation plan. In short, it was an uncosted and incoherent wish list. Thus one promise, among many in the platform, became increasingly dubious: the promise of a balanced budget. Weaver called the proposed Liberal budget a bogus document, as it was based on long-term promises of fantasy liquefied natural gas plant revenues. However, in the subsequent sitting of the legislature he voted with the Liberals in support of the budget. He expressed no confidence in the government in the campaign, yet upon his election votes confidence in the same government: a very confusing act, which once again the mainstream media somehow ignored. Perhaps the editorial headline should have read “Watershed time for B.C. Greens and the B.C. Media”?

Oak Bay barber one of the last in the old-school Continued from Page A1
What Coxford might not tell you at first is that he left school at 15 and started cutting women’s hair in his 20s, after a short stint in construction work. He shifted into barbering in 1984, in an effort to find “the easiest blue-collar work I could,” he jokes. But, now 55, it’s clear Coxford takes pride in a job well done – a job that gets its success, he says, from 30 per cent location, 30 per cent haircut and 30 per cent personality. The final 10 per cent could just be laziness. “Even a bad barber will get a strong clientele base if he stays somewhere long enough,” Coxford says an old barber friend used to tell him. For the last five weeks, Coxford has had an ad out looking for a barber to join him. He had applications from hairdressers who he wouldn’t consider, calls from a few barbers he wouldn’t interview after talking to on the phone and one hairdresser who almost made the cut but wasn’t a good match after a few weeks. This is not to say barbers don’t exist. Shops from the hip Victory Barber & Brand to the longstanding Jimmy’s Barber Shop downtown offer a similar idea, save a few pin-up girls and brash jokes. It’s the culture that’s fading as much as the style, and what Coxford offers is becoming hard to replace. “I’m not all that fussy, but you want to get along with who you’re working beside,” he says. “Truthfully, the guys in my shop would weed someone out faster than I would.” Funny enough, Coxford’s quest only came after having to replace his last colleague –
Danielle Pope/News staff
Happy Coxford, right, has given up looking for a new barber to team up with him at his old-school Oak Bay Barber Shoppe on Estevan, after discovering how hard it is to come by classically trained barbers. Here, Coxford clips Mike Gavas' hair, a 15-year client of the shop. Jacqueline Miller – a woman who became well inducted into the boys’ club. Originally a hairdresser herself, she learned the clippers, “cleaned up” Coxford’s well-decorated space and even developed as strong a following as his. “Jacqueline’s been cutting my hair for the last four years here, so I’m taking a bit of a risk today with Happy,” teases Mike Gavas, a 15-year client. As Coxford snips through Gavas’ curls, he talks about how he worked alone the first 10 years of his shop, back when it was on Oak Bay Avenue.
Then, how he got lucky with Miller and a few other barbers, and how her help let him work shorter days so he could care for his wife who fell ill for nine months. She’s better now, and “doesn’t want to be cared for anymore,” but with 22 years of business in Oak Bay, Coxford says he only wants to work fivehour days. “The biggest challenge of working alone is that you don’t get a lunch,” says Coxford. “It’s a cozy shop and we just do walk-ins, but if you have to wait for an hour, I’ll entertain you.” news@mondaymag.com

Oak Bay’s Brian Beckett died peacefully on Aug. 29. Best known for his community work through the Oak Bay Kiwanis, Beckett and his wife Deanna retired here in 2000 after a 10-year cruise around the world. The water was home to Beckett who retired from a 56-year career with the Royal Canadian Navy in 1989 as Base Commander at CFB Esquimalt. The couple spent their early retirement years cruising in and around Europe, then crossing the Atlantic, spending another five years with winters in the Caribbean and summers on the east coast of the U.S. The pair came home to Oak Bay in 2000 and Beckett immediately became immersed in the Oak Bay Kiwanis, where he served as president and board chair of the Oak Bay Kiwanis Pavilion Foundation. “He was very committed to Kiwanis and the community. He was a very hard worker,” said current Oak Bay Kiwanis Pavilion Foundation board chair Joan Trumble. Beckett championed the renovation of the Oak Bay tea room and was a tireless volunteer there. “He was an awesome gentleman who worked hard for the Oak Bay community both in terms of community events and his contributions through the Oak Bay Kiwanis Pavilion Foundation,” said Oak Bay Fire Chief Dave Cockle, who also serves on the Kiwanis Pavilion Foundation Board. “He had a great ability to see a vision of where we should be and how we should get there. I think his navy experience helped move the group forward.” Beckett was well-known in the community, but especially at the Kiwanis Tea Room at Willows Beach where he kept

We will miss him very much.” The Oak Bay Kiwanis Pavilion is a complex care facility which specializes in the assistance of people with dementia and provides care through all stages of dementia, it is a cause Beckett was passionate about. “Care and compassion. He believed in that and wanted to create that kind of an environment and keep it going with things like providing music therapy which makes such a difference in the (residents’) lives. He was a big supporter and always made sure there was funding,” said Cockle.

A natural leader, Beckett was forward thinking, comfortable in a crowd and always onestep ahead of everyone, said Trumble. “He had a very, very sharp mind and really could analyze things and think of things before the rest of us,” she said. “He will be sorely missed by his family, friends, club members and the community as a whole,” added Cockle. Beckett is survived by his wife Deanna, six children, 11 grandchildren and one great grandchild. A private family ceremony was held Tuesday and a ceremony of life with friends and family was held Wednesday.

UVic students being housed in common areas Kyle Slavin News staff
A jump in the number of firstyear students at the University of Victoria and not enough space in on-campus housing has forced the university to turn some dormitory common areas into bedrooms. Some 55 first-years are living in dorm lounges, converted into two- and three-bedroom apartments, a measure the university hopes will only be temporary. “This helps us with our housing crunch in September,” said Joel Lynn, UVic’s executive director of student services. “We do anticipate those students in alternative housing will likely get reassigned into one of our traditional bed spaces by the end of September. We can’t say definitively everybody will be out of temporary housing by then, but we do think the majority will be.” Beds typically become available throughout September as students either are no-shows at UVic, or decide after a few weeks that university isn’t for them – but just how many remains to be seen. Housing students in commonarea lounges isn’t a new occurrence at UVic. In 2008 and 2009 the university was faced with a
similar situation, where there were too many students guaranteed housing and too few beds for them. In the 2008-09 school year, 120 were housed in common-room lounges around campus until January 2009. Since 2007, the school has guaranteed it will provide a room to all first-year students who qualify for housing. Lynn says the common rooms are completely converted, including changing the locks so they are not accessible by other students, and those students living in them aren’t surprised by their accommodation when they arrive on campus. “We advise those students and their parents before they arrive that we have an alternative housing format for them,” he said. “And to thank those students for their patience, we’ve provided them with a $250 book store gift certificate, and they have other options with meal plans. The university has really tried to reach out to those students.” Lynn says the university has about 2,300 beds in on-campus housing, including around 100 for staff and units for families, and said student services is currently looking at its inventory
to determine whether there’s a need for more dorms on campus. In 2009, the last year the university had guaranteed a bed to more first-year students than could be accommodated, an additional 1,400 second-, third-, and fourth-year students were put on a housing wait list. Lynn could not provide information on how many students are on this year’s wait list. “We message students before they arrive to UVic that we are essentially a first-year undergrad residence population, and then we help those students look for housing in the community as they go into their upper years,” Lynn said. Ten common rooms have been converted into temporary apartments, but Lynn said the school still has plenty of other lounges around campus that haven’t been converted, meaning residents still have options for where to congregate and socialize. The university saw a 13-percent increase in new full-time students (approximately 520) this year. It’s the first year since 2009 that UVic is seeing a jump in enrolment numbers. – with files from Edward Hill kslavin@saanichnews.com
Weaver calls on province to reinforce ‘no’ message Continued from Page A1

models specific to [diluted bitumen] do not exist, and existing commercial models for conventional oil do not allow parameter specific modifications.” Weaver called on the B.C. government to reiterate its opposition to Northern Gateway, which was detailed in the province's final submission to the federal environmental assessment panel that concluded hearings this spring. “My call today is for the province of B.C. to reinforce the ‘no’ message they have already provided the federal government with, and not let that message waver now,” said Weaver, adding that the province was not made aware of the project until he brought it forward. “My concern is that the province may weaken its decision from a ‘no’ to a ‘maybe, just not now’ ... this is dangerous when the public thinks the province has said ‘no.’” BC Minister of environment Mary Polak said that the province was aware of some research work it was doing in collaboration with the federal government, but says she can’t speak to the exact funds spent by the federal government. “We’ve been very clear to the feds that we do not want to see this (pipeline) approved, and we remain opposed,” Polak said. “However, what a lot of people don’t realize is that we already have a very active coastline and this is important research to partake in even without a pipeline going in.” Weaver said Premier Christy Clark has backed away from opposition to the project since the May provincial election, and has instead focused on improving relations with Alberta. - with files from Danielle Pope

art of enjoying a music festival like Rifflandia is putting on your musical explorer hat, or cape — whichever you prefer. The fact of the matter is, with more than 170 acts in the lineup, there’s no conceivable way to be familiar with all of them. Unless of course, you’re Nick Blasko or Dimitri Demers of Atomique Productions, the festival’s producers. With more acts this year than ever before, and more international acts who’ve never played a set on our Island paradise, Rifflandia 6 is sure to be a spectacle like no other. Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Courtney Love, Big Boi, Death From Above 1979, James Murphy and Pat Mahoney (DFA/ LCD Soundsystem), Stars, Matt & Kim, Beats Antique and so many others — are all gracing one of 14 stages at this year’s festival. Instead of a side stage at Royal Athletic Park, organizers are opting for a massive open-walled tent to help focus the energy and give the park a different feel. “And Nick really likes tents,” says Demers. Action at RAP will “ping pong”
back and forth from stage to tent, keeping the music flowing all day long, Sept.13-15. New night venues include the Copper Owl, Rehab Nightclub, the recently expanded Phillips Brewery backyard and CMCT studios, an intimate space with a small capacity on Discovery Street, curated by Colin McTaggart. Night stages are open Sept. 12-14. Rifflandia Headquarters (and Atomique Productions’ office) is now located inside the old RBC building on the corner of Pandora and Douglas, where you can buy tickets, merch or just stop by and have some fun with your fellow Rifflandians. Remember: It’s always easiest to get around town on bicycle, especially at night when there are 12 stages operating simultaneously. And if you have certain acts on your “must see” list, get there early as venue capacities range from 40 to 2,000. rifflandia.com.

he past few days have been all about digging up memories for the members of Celtic thunder. the musical ensemble group from ireland spent several days in Abbotsford this week, rehearsing the material from their Mythology album, recorded last year but yet to be taken on the road. “Mythology is the tour and we’re so excited to finally be rolling this out,” said Ryan Kelly, one of several principal singers in the six-member group and an original member from 2007. the accompanying dVd for the album was filmed last August in dublin and two days later the artists and crew flew out to start their 2012 fall North American tour. “We’ve spent the last few days remembering what we did last year in dublin,” Kelly says. “We’ve sang hundreds of songs since we recorded it, so it’s taking a bit of time to relearn it. But they’re songs that we love and songs that we’ve performed (individually) over the years.” Celtic thunder brings its multi-genre stage show
to Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre on Sunday (Sept. 8), a day after kicking off the 2013 edition of their Canada-u.S. tour in Abbotsford. For people unfamiliar with the act, Kelly says the goal is to transport audience members back to a show pub in ireland, where they might hear everything from traditional irish and Celtic folk tunes to rock and country foot stompers. “What has always been a plus point of our show is that it really is trying to bring people in and give them a good time, give them a good night,” he says. “it’s pretty much an eclectic mix, but that’s always been the way with Celtic thunder.” With choreographed moves accompanying the music and the singers thrust into loose character roles, the scene plays out much like a las Vegas musical. “one thing about irish music and Celtic music in general, it really is about storytelling, and the best way of portraying that music is doing it on stage. often, i suppose, people don’t get a chance to travel to Broadway or Vegas or the big city to see shows like this.” Show time in Victoria is 7 p.m. tickets, $55 and $75 plus tax, are available at the arena box office or at selectyourtickets.com.

et ready to witness one of the Victoria arts scene’s greatest collaborations at the eighth annual Reel-to-Reel music and film challenge, Sept. 8 at the Vic theatre. Film and music makers from across Victoria are teaming up to produce short films, up to 10 minutes long, inspired by a selection of diverse local music. Genres range from celtic punk and heavy metal to experimental, electronic and pop. even a spoken word piece, We Are it Stopped, by Victoria’s poet laureate Janet Marie Rogers made the cut this year, a first for this competition. Musical artists involved in this year’s competition include psychic pollution, Kaya Martin, Secondhand habit, empire Monday, Kristy Farkas, the McGillicuddys and Solipsis. eight songs were chosen by judges from a long list of entries. then filmmakers had the chance to vote for their favourites. in the end, each filmmaker was assigned a song to base their short movie around. the final product is being screened in front of an audience at the recently resurrected Vic theatre (808 douglas) for the first time. “the filmmakers are excited to present their work on a big screen in a proper theatrical environment,” says Bryan Skinner, executive director of CineVic Society of independent Filmmakers, which hosts the event. “i’ve had the chance to see a couple of films that have already come in and they’re fabulous. i’m really excited about some of the work.” having professional quality music to work with

FilM 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. ★★½ closed circuiT - (Empire 6/Empire Uni 4) Eric Bana stars in a timely albeit disappointingly tepid British political 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. See review. 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. ★★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/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. fruiTvale sTaTion -(Odeon) There is lots of buzz around this truthbased reenactment of the turbulent last day of a young black man in 2008. ★★ THE GETAWAY -(SilverCity/ Empire 6) Ethan Hawke stars in a kinetic but stunningly simple-minded thriller about a gifted race car driver who gets blackmailed into doing the bidding of a dangerous man with a mysterious agenda. 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. ★★★ 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). ★★★ in a World -(Odeon) There’s a well-deserved buzz around this sly feminist comedy about an underachieving vocal coach who finally becomes motivated to break into the male-dominated world of movie voice-overs. See review. 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. 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 boy-band superstars. ★★★½ pacific rim - (Caprice) Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth) helms this Transformersish epic about monsters that attack Earth and are opposed by giant robots controlled by human “pilots.” This is a skillfully 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. ★★½ red 2 -(Roxy, 9 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. 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. ★★½ We’re The millers -(Westshore/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). ★★★ World War Z -(Roxy,7pm) 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.

G
etting full marks for timeliness (if not a lot else), the political thriller Short Circuit is a thoughtful if tepid look at how the modern state can secretly abuse its power. The film opens with a dozen different images of anonymous shoppers in an open-air market in London: it’s real-time footage from surveillance cameras, and is meant to remind us that this is one of the most security-conscious cities in the world. Suddenly the separate images combine into one massive explosion as a terrorist truck bomb kills 120 innocents. The next day a Turkish national is arrested, and two lawyers – Martin Rose (Eric Bana) and Claudia Simmons-Howe (Rebecca Hall) – are appointed by the Attorney General (the great Jim Broadbent) as the man’s council. The matter is highly political, and parts of the case against the alleged bomber involve state secrets that can only be revealed in closed court. Dark currents are flowing beneath the surface, and when Martin digs a little he wonders if his client isn’t actually a mole working for MI5, Britain’s domestic security service. Aware they are being spied on, and now convinced that the “suicide” of a lawyer previously involved with the case may have been a state-sanctioned murder, the two lawyers find themselves desperately pondering how much they are prepared to risk to see the truth come out. All the elements of a fine film are here. The two lawyers have a sour romantic history that adds a layer of tension as they try to piece together the truth of their case. There are suspenseful episodes of skullduggery and violence as agents do whatever it takes to spare the government catastrophic embarrassment. And the cast is excellent – especially Broadbent, who is deliciously poisonous as the consummately soulless politician who believes that “justice” must be stage managed on occasion. But nothing quite gels, and this feels like an over-refined version of the hit TV show MI5. Rating:

ritten and directed by as well as starring Lake Bell (It’s Complicated, No Strings Attached), A In A World is one of those rare contemporary comedies that actually has something on its mind. Bell stars as Carol, an under-achieving vocal coach who lives in the shadow of her Fabulous overbearing father, Sam (Fred Melamed), who is a legend in the world of “voice artists” who do the narration for movie trailers and national ads. As the movie starts Sam is evicting 30-year-old Carol from his house because he wants to install his newest girlfriend in her place. Carol, a hapless slacker finally confronted with the need to earn rent, hasWEDDING PRIZE PACK no choice but to try harder on the work front. Unexpectedly she gets hired as the voice of a big ad campaign – stealing the contract out from under one of the country’s biggest voice stars in the process. And in a business that is almost entirely a boy’s club, this has repercussions that echo throughout the film. As we watch Carol literally and metaphorically finding her voice in an industry that – like Hollywood itself – is often hostile to female interests, it’s not hard to figure out the theme of World. But Bell tackles the subject with sly aplomb, and also has the good sense to cast Geena Davis in an acerbic cameo as a the THE film executive producing a ‘tweener movie akin to the Twilight series. (Her acidic comments about the romance-fantasy genre are a brutally amusing complement to the movie’s feminist perspective.) Well and acted, funny, and insightful, World is worth a visit.

SIx years ago, brothers Jamie and Jordie Benn stood on the ice at Bear Mountain Arena during Victoria Grizzlies camp. They were looking over the names of the remaining players on the roster. “Who’s this 1993 kid still on here?” Jamie said. “That’s me,” said Walton, who was standing behind them. At 14, Walton was the only 1993-born player still in camp. Jamie was impressed. It’s a moment Walton never forgot. Earlier this week Walton, now 20, was named the captain of the Victoria Cougars. The Cougars host the Westshore Wolves on Sunday (Sept. 8), 3:30 p.m. at Archie Browning Sports Centre. Spending his final year of junior hockey in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League is far from the B.C. Hockey League career Walton had expected. He never did make the Grizzlies, despite practicing with the team as an underager during head coach Geoff Courtnall’s tenure. But he’s honoured to lead the Cougars all the same, he said. “(Walton) has all the qualities of a great leader and the qualities to rally a team to a common purpose,” Cougars head coach Mark Van Helvoirt said. “His work ethic is second to none.” Walton is the remaining piece of last year’s leadership trio of captain Brody Coulter and assistant captain Sam Rice, who have moved on to college teams this year. With 14 new players, Walton is leading the Cougars into a new era. “Brody and Sam are two of my best friends so it’s going to

Walton wore a face shield as he played through two seperate facial lacerations during the playoffs from a puck and a skate. be different. It’s nice to be able to follow in their footsteps.” A couple of regime changes kept Walton from ever playing for Grizzlies and it’s been to the Cougars’ advantage. Walton was named the VIJHL’s unsung player of the year in 2012-13 and was a major role player in getting the team to the provincial gold medal final the past two seasons. “This season will be a learning curve and take longer than years previous, but the team is coming together well and we can already see improve-
ments.” In other words, a thirdstraight trip to the Cyclone Taylor Cup is still the goal, but this team is not expected to repeat last year’s record season, when the Cougars marched through the 48-game schedule with one regulation loss. “(The Cyclone Taylor Cup) will be more difficult this year but if we put the effort into practice and games, it will all come down to work ethic.” Along with his season-long expectations, Walton will also have to change daily expecta-
tions. When the team wasn’t playing its best, he wasn’t shy about showing his displeasure. And that’s no way to go about mentoring younger players, he said. “In the past I was probably one of the guys to get mad if something goes wrong, so I’ve got to control that.” All indications are that the Cougars are in good hands with Walton. A product of the Juan de Fuca minor hockey program, Walton has been groomed in the same Victoria hockey pipeline as the best of them. He came through Spencer middle school’s hockey academy under Grizzlies onagain-off-again assistant coach Craig Didmon. At Spencer, a melting pot of some of the city’s best middle school players, he played with Wade Murphy of the NCAA’s North Dakota hockey, formally known as the Fighting Sioux, and with Travis Stephens and Braden Pears of the BCHL Trail Smoke Eaters. Walton’s had his own taste of the BCHL, having played about a dozen games over the past two seasons for the powerhouse Powell River Kings, including the playoffs. “My only time playing junior A at Bear Mountain Arena was against the Grizzlies so that was special,” he said. “I’m not sure I’m in the (Kings’) mix anymore as a 20-year-old but, it was a great experience playing for them during seasons they came close to winning the BHCL championship.” The number of key contributors returning to the Cougars is low this year. Graham Zagrodney and Jake Stolz lead the defence with Jake Daughtry, Jordan Davie, David Marshall, Howard Howden and Jesse Nixon all looking to take on bigger responsibilities. sports@vicnews.com

Runners set 10,000-metre track records at UVic Two age-group records were broken at The Q’s Victoria Run Series’ final meet of the 2013 season at UVic’s Centennial Stadium on Saturday. Running diva Marilyn Arsenault (the opera singer) crushed the main event, the Maude Hunter’s B.C. Championship 10,000metre race, with a Canadian age-group 40-44 record time of 34 minutes 18.21 seconds. That effort shaves four seconds off the previous record, set by Arsenault at last year’s event. She is currently in training for the Toronto Scotiabank Waterfront Marathon, where she hopes to run under 2:40 and qualify for the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games. Saturday also saw two-time Olympian Bruce Deacon of Victoria set the 45-49 agegroup record for 10,000-m with a time of 31:55.92. The top three men in the 10,000-m were all master-age (over 40) runners, as Deacon was second overall in the event to fellow over-40 Victoria runner Jim Finlayson (31:31.12) and former UVic Vikes athlete Craig Odermatt was third (32:20.60). The event also hosted two 5,000-m races, which were won by Frank Towler and Martha McNeely, in the men’s and women’s 60-69 divisions, respectively. Towler ran 21:44.99 and McNeely finished in 26:54.70. Chris Galley won the open men’s 5,000-m in 17:01.74 and Courtney Cameron won the women’s in 19:56.19 The series is introducing a new road race, the Synergy Shuffle, on Sept. 15 with an 11 a.m. start time. It has three distances, 10, 20 and 30 km, all starting at Lochside Trail and Island View Road, next to Michell’s Farm Market. Visit victoriarunseries.com to register or for more information.

Zoot 10K will run through Oak Bay, Uplands Travis Paterson News staff
What was once the weekend of the Land’s End half marathon, a Sunday morning jaunt through the lonely roads of the Saanich Peninsula, is now the Zoot 10K in Oak Bay. The new 10-kilometre race debuts on Sunday (Sept. 8). 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, said Island Runner running store proprietor and former Royal Victoria Marathon winner Phil Nichols. The Zoot has evolved from the McNeill Bay Half Marathon Nichols organized the past two years, which was created to fill the gap of the Land’s End race. “The reasoning was to have an event that complements the running community and 10 km is a really good buildup for people doing the (GoodLife Fitness Victoria half marathon in October).” The numbers for the McNeill Bay event weren’t high, and with an influx of other races and events this time of the season, it led to a redesign. “There are more alternative athletic events popping up such as Tour de Victoria, Tough Mudder, various triathlons, CrossFit contests and more, but the same athletes still use the 10k as a measuring stick,” Nichols said. “The 10 km distance was chosen to welcome walkers, beginners and expert runners.” The Zoot route is separate from the Oak Bay Kool Half Marathon that runs in the spring and only duplicates about 500 metres of the Victoria Marathon course. And while Nichols emphasizes the race is for all levels, it will have some flash as Olympic 1,500-metre runner Hillary Stellingwerff will be in the lead pack, as will UVic Vike Brittany Therrien, winner of the Magical Mile last spring. The race is named for the athletic apparel company providing race shirts. sports@vicnews.com

Travis Paterson Pat Kay kicked 20 points and led the B.C. Bears to its first win of the 2013 Canadian Rugby Championship, 40-18 over the Atlantic Rock at Westhills Stadium on Monday (Sept. 2). The win gave the Bears a split of its two-game weekend at Westhills, having lost 11-7 to the Ontario Blues on Friday. However, the Bears have just one win in three CRC games while the Blues are first, the only undefeated team through three games. The Bears and Wolf Pack (2-2) can still catch the Bears and win the CRC while the Rock (1-3) are mathematically eliminated.

Ambriss Clermont ride for Hospice Travis Paterson News staff
The Ambriss Clermont Memorial Ride for Hospice, a group cycling ride, leaves Sunday morning for its second annual event. The decision to do the ride for Victoria Hospice was simply to honour her memory and raise money for the facility that cared for her final days with cancer in February of 2012, said son Martin Clermont. Martin helps run the Russ Hay’s The Bicycle Shop at Hillside Avenue which parents Ambriss and Mike purchased in 1972. “We’d like to grow the ride out

Dr. Richard Zare Chemist, Professor & Author
Shaken, not Stirred: Chemical “Fizzics” & the Chemistry of Drink Tuesday, September 17, 2013, 7:30 p.m. University Centre Farquhar Auditorium Chemistry is all around us, not just in a laboratory. Join Stanford University’s Dr. Zare for a scientific exploration the chemistry of the drinks we consume, and ponder such questions as why James Bond prefers his vodka Martini shaken, not stirred. Dr. Zare—with his unique ability to translate complex science into every-day examples—will elucidate some amazing technological applications for bubbles, and how they’re used to solve some of science’s complex issues such as the recovery of crude oil from tired oil wells. Be warned: this is the tamest of his experiments. Those attending should be prepared for some surprises as Dr. Zare explores the topic of chemical “fizzics.” Only the brave should sit in the front row. This free public lecture has reserved seating. Tickets can be booked in advance at 250-721-8480 or www.auditorium.uvic.ca A $2.25 evening parking fee will be in effect for all UVic parking lots.

Motivated by personal experience Chris Bush and Auren Ruvinsky Black Press
Few reasons are more compelling to grab a spot on the 2013 Tour de Rock team than to help give your own son and other children a fighting chance to beat cancer. Const. Misty Dmytar, 39, is relatively new to the Nanaimo RCMP detachment, but she and her two-year-old son, Griffyn, are well known in the Comox Valley where she served until recently, and to Tour de Rock teams from the last couple of years. She is one of two riders from the Nanaimo area, joining Const. Ed de Jong, who is based at the detachment on Gabriola Island. When Griffyn was just four days old he was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a rare form of infant cancer that presents about 50-70 cases a year in Canada. Dmytar and her partner had to get Griffyn into treatment immediately. “Griffyn was the youngest they’d ever seen that had come in with neuroblastoma,” Dmytar said. Surgeons took a tumour the size of a baseball, weighing 230 grams, off of his right adrenal gland. They took the gland too. Initial treatment produced positive results, but an ultrasound taken a few months later revealed a tumour on Griffyn’s other adrenal gland and spots on his liver. Five months of chemotherapy treatment halted the disease. The tumour shrunk to half its size and the spots on his liver are still there, but the disease has been effectively dormant since 2010. For now and hopefully forever, Griffyn has

Tour de Rock riders Misty Dmytar, left, with her son Griffyn, a cancer survivor; Ed de Jong; and Jesse Foreman are all motivated to participate in Cops for Cancer by different experiences, but they’re hoping their efforts pay off in improving the lives for children and families who are going through cancer. beaten cancer. He returns for more tests this month. In the meantime, Dmytar is training for the tour, which starts Sept. 21. Combined with fundraising, it’s a big commitment for a mother of two who works 12-hour shifts. Const. Ed de Jong, 43, is a recent arrival to the central Island region. He moved to Gabriola with his family in January after serving in Terrace, B.C. His reason for getting in the saddle for the 2013 Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock is simply to offer something back to the community in which he works. “For me, being in the position I’m in as an RCMP member, the ability to give back to the community is a big thing for me and just the fact that this event supports kids with cancer makes it such an easy decision to do,” de Jong said. With two children – a son, 11,
and daughter, 14 – who are healthy, de Jong counts his blessings. His father-in-law is a cancer survivor. Living on Gabriola Island means catching a ferry to Nanaimo to meet up with other team members for training rides out of Parksville and Nanaimo. The time and transportation restrictions have translated into de Jong doing most of his training alone on Gabriola roads. A 90-kilometre ride means three laps around the island. Oceanside RCMP’s Tour de Rock rider Cpl. Jesse Foreman said he was inspired to get involved by “looking at my own healthy kids and when I saw some who weren’t healthy I wanted to do something.” His boys are currently seven and nine, making their understanding and support important to Foreman as he squeezes training between his family and full-time job at the Oceanside detachment where he’s in charge of community policing.
Like his fellow riders, he’s been touched by cancer in his family with a grandfather, aunt and uncle all dealing with the disease on some level. He is also inspired by five-yearold Lucas, the junior rider he’s been teamed up with. The local kid was in and out of the hospital for eight months and lost his kidney to cancer, but is now in remission. Foreman said that other than having to go back to Children’s Hospital every four months for tests until he’s 18, “you can’t tell him apart from any other kid.” For these three riders, they say it’s the least they can do to support these kids. “The more money we raise through Tour de Rock, the more chance these kids have and the better the treatments that will come out,” Dmytar said. photos@nanaimobulletin.com writer@pqbnews.com
