Ted Truscott, sensei at Yama Neko Dojo in Langford, offers free cane self-defence classes for seniors until the end of October.
Senior trains seniors to fight back Charla Huber News staff
Cane-wielding seniors are regaining confidence at a Langford dojo. Ted Truscott, sensei at Yama Neko Dojo, is offering free cane self-defence classes at his Happy Valley Road site until the end of October. The classes focus on boosting confidence as well as providing self-defence tips. “It’s all about a change of attitude that we are after,” Truscott said. “I don’t fear monger, very few seniors are going to get in a fight, they are past fighting in bars. Now it’s just that they feel vulnerable.” The Langford senior decided to offer the classes this year after being contacted by a 70-year-old man who had just begun to use a
cane in preparation for an upcoming surgery. “He said he looked vulnerable and was starting to feel vulnerable,” Truscott explained. The classes are designed for seniors of all abilities, and people with limited mobility are encouraged to come out. “We will work on light strength exercises and light agility training,” said the 66-year-old sensei. “I want to keep the people safe and within their limits.” Truscott designed the classes that incorporate a combination of Filipino stick fighting, Japanese walking staff and Second World War swagger stick. “They will learn hitting, thrusting, smashing and slashing,” said Truscott. “Students will learn to target hard, bony parts unless you are thrusting and then it’s soft parts.”
The classes are for seniors, but they don’t necessarily need to use a cane on a regular basis. “These skills are transferable to any club or stick-like object,” Truscott said. West Shore RCMP Const. Sarah Beckett said seniors are no more targeted in attacks than any other age group, but everyone can benefit from self-defence training. “It’s good for any member of the public to learn self-defence,” Beckett said. “But people should carry a mobile device and call 911 in an emergency. Police officers are trained to handle these types of situations.” The free classes are available on Saturdays to the end of October. To book a class, call Truscott at 250-474-5434. charla@goldstreamgazette.com
Inmate Michiel Gordon Hollinger, 61, was in RCMP custody after a two-hour search both in and outside the gates of William Head Institution in Metchosin on Wednesday. Prison staff noticed Hollinger was missing after he didn’t show when called to an area of the prison, a normal procedure. The prison was put into lockdown and RCMP were called. “It was one of things where everyone did what they were supposed to do and the result came out perfect,” said Rick Kowsey, spokesperson for the prison. He said it’s unclear whether Hollinger was attempting to escape but he was “elusive with staff.” Kowsey said this incident, as with the escape of two prisoners earlier this month, will be investigated. “They’ll be looked at individually, they’ll be looked at together, to see whether or not there’s any consistent patterns here or anything we need to do,” Kowsey said. “The policies we have in place now work, as evidenced by today. We’re doing everything we can possibly do to maintain public safety.” Read more on this story at www.vicnews.com

Malahat Marauder hunts stolen fox pelt Kyle Wells News staff
Fred Hoenisch is on the hunt for a prized fox pelt – his own. When Hoenisch offered his pelts for a display at the Luxton Fall Fair, the last thing he expected was for one to up and walk away. Although it didn’t walk away on its own accord, someone swiped it. Hoenisch, a member of the Malahat
Marauders Historic Re-enactment Association, brought three of his pelts to put on display Sunday, just to the side of the black powder firearms the association also had on show. The pelts, about 20 of them, were intentionally set out so people could feel them. As a volunteer with the association, Hoenisch was there to talk to visitors about the pelts and answer any questions. He helped out with a three-hour shift and also
by bringing in the pelts. “The fox is definitely the softest of the three,” Hoenisch said. He left the area around 4 p.m. to get his children some cotton candy and when he came back the fox pelt was gone. The pelt came from the Yukon Trappers Association and cost Hoenisch about $400. It’s a cross-fox with brown, grey and white markings, approximately four feet long and with the head on.
“My kids love it, it’s so soft,” Hoenisch said. “It’s really disappointing. … Everybody feels bad about it because it does put a damper on future events. The whole idea is to let people touch, it’s not to let people walk away with it.” West Shore RCMP have a file open on the theft. Anyone with any information is asked to call the detachment at 250-474-2264 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). kwells@goldstreamgazette.com
COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF
Quartette art show starts Saturday
Quartette, a four-person exhibition of fine art and craft, is ongoing at Coast Collective Gallery in Colwood (3221 Heatherbell Rd.), with an artist opening on Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m. The show features four visual artists approaching art in four different mediums, but coming together to create one experience. The show features watercolours, chalk pastel, clay and wool works, all based around a common theme of quality and visual appeal. Gallery hours are Wednesday to Sunday noon to 5 p.m. Show runs until Sept. 29. Charla Huber/News staff

here’s no one telling the West Shore 4-H Club kids what to do. “The club is run by the kids and based on their interests,” said 4-H mentor Stef Prenevost explaining that all events and projects are created and executed by the young members of the groups and the adults are just there to mentor. The West Shore 4-H club is open for children nine years and older. Currently the oldest member of the club is 14 years old, but anyone up to 21 is welcome to join. This year the club is focused on chickens, but as the children run the club,
they have the option to pick any project they want and may include goats, guinea pigs, small engine repair – even art projects. With the West Shore being a mix of urban and rural communities, Prenevost wants people to know there is more to 4-H than farming. The club is open to children living on farms with animals and children in condos. “For their project kids can adopt a grandparent, sew, quilt or fix a machine,” Prenevost said. “If they want to do motocross they have to earn the money for a bike, learn to fix it and go to trials.” West Shore 4-H started in June when it

branched off from the Metchosin club. The Metchosin 4-H club began in 2010 and gained more than 50 members, so a second club was formed. The club meets on the third Sunday of each month. The new session starts in January, but anyone interested in joining is encouraged to attend an upcoming meeting to see what the club is all about. West Shore 4-H operates out of the Luxton Fair Grounds and meetings run from 1 to 3 p.m. For more information or to attend a trial meeting, email Prenevost at k9mabarker@hotmail.com. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Cycling for the kids Kate Whitmore, left, Stacey Price and Anna Byatt are finishing up their one-hour pedal pledge for a Coast Capital Savings Tour de Rock fundraiser, Sept. 13. In the four hour session, 13 employees of the credit union participated in Westshore Town Centre raising $650. Donations are still be accepted until October.
Rider grateful for donations Art auction helps Tour de Rock fundraising effort Don Descoteau News staff
Arnold Lim recalls the days when noted Greater Victoria artist Ted Harrison would come into his restaurant, Korean Gardens, for dinner with his son. The two were fast friends, to the point where Harrison donated a framed print of one of his colourful paintings as a wedding gift to Lim and his wife 10 years ago. While that piece of artwork was sadly destroyed later in a flood, Black Press freelance photojournalist and former staff Lim has been gifted another Harrison
Arnold Lim print. This time it’s a donation to help his fundraising efforts as a media rider on the 2013 Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock.
“That’s pretty exciting for me,” says Lim, who leaves for Port Alice this weekend with his fellow teammates. “He’s just a really special guy and part of the fabric of the community in Victoria.” The print of “Land and Sea,” a 1989 work by Harrison, was donated by a Black Press staffer and framed professionally by Prestige Picture Framing Etc., located two doors away from Harrison’s former gallery space on Oak Bay Avenue. Online auction bids for the beautifully finished artwork are being accepted at vicnews.com/ contests. Bid deadline is Oct. 4. If you’d like to donate otherwise to Lim’s Tour de Rock fundraising efforts, or any other rider, visit tourderock.ca and follow the links. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

As fall starts to settle in, each new student entering Lester B. Pearson College gets a knitted blanket courtesy of the Zonta Club of Victoria. The blankets are “recycled and handmade, it doesn’t get better than that,” said club president Anita Mathur. The project started more than 15 years ago by club member, Cecile Turrall, who found volunteers in care facilities, retirement homes and individuals, to knit squares that could be joined together to create afghans. The group already supported an endowment for a female student at the Metchosin school and added them to the blanket program. “We thought ‘I bet some of them would appreciate something a little more personal’,” said Mathur, who’s been directly involved the last three years. “We found that they really hang on to them and take them when they leave.” This year the club distributed 80 blankets to students from 53 countries including some where the weather is a bit warmer than coastal B.C. The club is part of the global Zonta organization of executives and business people working to advance the status of women worldwide. “We got to understand people are coming from all these various cultures, and the women are learning they can be empowered,” Mathur said. “At the same time the young men who come to the college are learning they can and should support these women.” To date, the club has donated more than 5,000 afghans to the Salvation Army, Victoria Hospice, Royal Jubilee Hospital, Saanich Peninsula Auxiliary, Victoria Persons with AIDS Society, Our Place and Pearson college. The club gratefully accepts donations of leftover yarn. To have someone pick up donations call 250592-9350 or 250-383-0794.

Celebrating a Victoria icon W
hen a locally owned, independent business survives 50 years, it’s something to be celebrated. When it’s a bookstore that has elegantly survived the disruptive technology of cheap online books, paperless e-books and big box stores, that sends a hopeful message – not all consumer culture has to devolve to the click of a button or exist under the glare of fluorescent lights in warehouse shopping centres. This Saturday, Munro’s Books celebrates 50 years of business. Jim Munro and his first wife Alice Munro (the author) opened in 1963 in the alley near the Odeon Theatre on Yates Street. The store has since thrived for 29 years in its current Old Town Government Street location. More akin to a small cathedral than a bookstore, the 1909 neo-classical stone building, Roman columns and arched ceilings draw locals and visitors for the architecture and atmosphere (think live string quartets at Christmas) almost as much as its selection of books, literature and obscure magazines. Those 29 years ago, Jim Munro took a big risk in rescuing and restoring the grand old building the Royal Bank covered over in 1950s banality. Book-selling isn’t a high-margin business, but Munro’s gamble has paid off in terms of its reputation as a must-see tourist venue and a place for locals to peruse the best in new nonfiction and novels. Aside from its charm and good looks, Munro’s has stayed the course in terms of stocking a smart mix of literature, non-fiction, Canadian writing and local authors on its bookshelves. At the same time it bucked the trend that suggests a bleak future for independent bookstores, Its employees are famously loyal, educated and long-standing. Some have been authors themselves or have gone on to open their own bookstores. Munro’s Books represents the best of what Greater Victorians like to see in an independent business. An architectural delight and a cultural touchstone, the city should be proud of this institution.

Incineration is also expensive and inefficient. Once we start the practice, we come to rely on waste as a fuel commodity, and it’s tough to go back to more environmentally sound methods of dealing with it. As has been seen in Sweden and Germany, improving efforts to reduce, reuse and recycle can actually result in shortages of waste “fuel”! We need to find ways to manage waste and to generate energy without relying on diminishing and increasingly expensive supplies of polluting fossil fuels. Sending trash to landfills is clearly not the best solution. But we have better options than landfills and incineration, starting with reducing the amount of waste we produce. Through education and regulation, we can reduce obvious sources and divert more compostable, recyclable and reusable materials away from the dump. It’s simply wasteful to incinerate it. It would be far better to sort trash into organics, recyclables and products that require careful disposal. We could then divert these different streams to minimize our waste impacts and produce new commodities. Organics used in biomass energy systems could offset fossil fuel use while creating supplies of fertilizers. Diversion and recycling lessen the need to extract new resources and disrupt the environment while creating more value and jobs. davidsuzuki.org.

Here are three of the more egregious examples: (1) “Only two provincial employee groups have yet to do this [move to co-operative gains]: school support staff and teachers.” The groups have nothing to offer; but the school boards have had to repeatedly cut back district budgets. (2) “CUPE … has a sophisticated media campaign
to generate public sympathy …” This is paid for out of members’ dues; the government toots its own horn with taxpayers’ dollars. (3) Fletcher looks at CUPE benefits “on behalf of those selfemployed taxpayers who have no paid holidays, no employer pension or benefits …” Selfemployed people are that way by their own choice! And some of them do very well, financially. It must be wonderful to sit at one’s computer and trash people for a living. If Mr. Fletcher is upset about CUPE contract provisions, he must be incensed about Liberal appointees’ bonuses. Lorraine Lindsay Saanich
Smart meter opt-out leaves little choice I’m getting a little confused with B.C. Hydro. Months ago I phoned them and said I do not
want the meter changed and gave them my address in Esquimalt. I also told them that my husband and I have a house in Saanich. It’s a rental property and we didn’t want the meter changed on that one, either. The person on the line told me, “It’s up to the person that lives in the house, not you.” When I asked why, telling them that I own the house, they said, “That doesn’t matter, we don’t know if you really own the house in Saanich.” Last Friday (Sept. 13) a form came to our house in Esquimalt addressed to my father, who has not lived here for years and has given me permission to read his mail. Both his name and mine are on the B.C. Hydro bill and I legally own half the house. When I phoned B.C. Hydro again I was told they would not send me a form (requesting no smart meter) since I was not on the account, and asked me to
send the form to my father and have him sign and return it. I was also asked to get my father to phone B.C. Hydro so my name could be put on the account. That did not make sense, especially since when I get the bill in the mail my name is on it. Right now, it looks like I have no say in any of my homes. We know our renters cannot afford to pay more for their hydro and we cannot afford to pay more, so we feel we are forced to give in. Sandra Dixon, Keith McGregor Esquimalt
Hydro letter causes confusion I received my letter from B.C. Hydro laying out my options regarding smart meters. One of the last lines of the letter is, “Costs will be reviewed by the B.C. Utilities Commission.”

The B.C. Utilities Commission has a record of often adjusting the fees proposed by B.C. Hydro. The costs proposed by B.C. Hydro appear to be ridiculously high – I use approximately $30 worth of power in a two-month billing period during the summer, about $15 a month. So B.C. Hydro intends to charge me $35 to determine I owe them $15? There is a strong possibility the Utility Commission will determine the proposed B.C. Hydro fee increases are inappropriate and will order them to be lowered. If the rates may be other than the B.C. Hydro letter proposes, I can not be considered fully informed and am at a considerable disadvantage if I sign their opt-out card. I do not know what the fees will be after the B.C. Utilities Commission reviews them. Norm Ryder Saanichton

UVic prez inherits tough budget
NEWS GAZETTE
Cutbacks to continue as Jamie Cassels sets stage for next 50 years Edward Hill News staff
The first week of work for Jamie Cassels included dishing pancakes to University of Victoria students and leading a run around campus, an upbeat start to the tenure of UVic’s new president. Where the past year focused on UVic’s 50th anniversary, Cassels says his job is about setting the stage for the next 50 years. But the foreseeable future won’t be easy – budget cuts that led to layoffs last year will likely continue. That will set the stage for the next round of union negotiations for contracts set to expire in 2014, barely two years after a rotating strike and bargaining ended with temporary labour peace. As UVic’s vice-president academic and provost from 2001 to 2010, Cassels is no stranger to high-level administration of an institution with about 5,000 employees and 20,000 students. “The top priority for me is a series of consultations on campus and in the community. I’m scheduled for 40, 50 or 60 meetings in the next few months with students, faculty, staff and the community to begin the conversation of what the next 50 years will hold,” Cassels says. “We have to be careful not to march out a prepackaged vision of
where we need to go. Even the president of the university can’t do a lot unless you’ve got the community working with you.” Cassels, 57, takes the helm of a university ranked best in Canada without a medical school, and labelled research university of the year in 2012. During his time as vice-president, he drove the integration of teaching and research – enough to have a research scholarship named in his honour – a priority he plans to expand as president. “(With) hands-on learning through co-ops, clinics, and practicums, we can build even stronger educational components. I am passionate about integrating research and education,” he says. “We have a real opportunity to say how to put (research) in the education environment.” Shaping the future of one of the region’s largest employers will continue to be tempered by declining provincial operating grants, and upward pressure on salaries and costs. UVic budget estimates project a $5.9-million funding shortfall for 2014-15 and a $5-million shortfall for the year after, even with increases in tuition. Cassels says the university will know this fall how the budget will shake out, but he expects “more significant cuts in

the next few years.” “It’s the challenge of any administration … to try and strike a balance and make sure employees still feel valued and part of the organization,” he says. “At the same time, I’m accountable and responsible for resources of the institution, while keeping in mind the mission to deliver education to students.” UVic likely won’t see new major buildings this decade once the $77-million athletics building, CARSA, is complete. The university plans to expand the continuing studies building and student housing. Some dorm lounges had to be retrofitted into apartments this month due to overcrowding. “I think UVic is the right size. It’s big enough to be a national player but small enough to be a personalized, collegial environment for students,” Cassels says. After the past two years in the relative quiet of teaching in the faculty of law, where he started at UVic 32 years ago, Cassels is eager to take on the big job of steering the institution. “I’m passionate about this university,” he says. “I have a straightforward understanding of the mission – education and research that makes a difference to students and the community.” editor@saanichnews.com

s Papa Murphy’s in Langford prepares to celebrate its fourth anniversary this fall, it does so with a nod to the community that has helped build its success.
And as the Langford store – right in the heart of the community at West Shore Town Centre – regularly contends for Canada’s top Papa Murphy’s franchise, it would seem customers agree.
Famous for its delicious, fresh-made take-and-bake pizza, at Papa Murphy’s customers can watch their pizza being made before their eyes, then pop in the oven at home for a piping hot dinner – perfect for these cool fall nights.
“They love the product,” Lori says simply. “They love the pizza and they really like the staff. We have a great strong team that works hard to please our customers. They love their regulars!”
“We have so many loyal customers,” says owner Lori Webb. “Without them, we wouldn’t be here.” While customers appreciate the convenience and value Papa Murphy’s offers, what keeps them coming back is the quality, from the fresh veggies and meats to that pizza essential: the cheese! Three crust options allow customers to choose from a healthier, thincrust deLITE pizza, a decadent stuffed pizza and the traditional, which can be topped with Papa Murphy’s flavourful combinations or your own favourites. Round out the meal with salads, cheesy bread or a few dessert treats, and dinner on the busiest nights is a breeze. “I can’t say enough about the quality of our pizza,” say Lori, who also owns a second location in Duncan, conveniently located on the south end of town for those heading home from Victoria. “It’s the reason I got involved with the franchise – the product is amazing.”
Lori emphasizes that in addition to serving delicious food, this customer service is key to their success. Part of that is offering the flexibility for pizza lovers to get the pizza they want, their way. “If you want half tomato sauce and half creamy garlic sauce, we can do that,” she says. “If you want to customize the toppings, we can do that too. As long as we have it in our line, we can craft the pizza the way you want and I think our customers appreciate that.”

Tour fundraising a team effort Charla Huber Black Press
Training for the Tour de Rock may be more daunting than the actual tour, but riders Donna Fraser and Mike Oliver are gearing up for the challenge. And both riders are thrilled their spouses are so supportive. Learning to clip into peddles on a bicycle was the first skill novice rider Donna Fraser learned for the 2013 Tour de Rock. “I’d never clipped into peddles before, it took a tumble or two to get it, but I don’t think I will go back now,” she said. The West Shore RCMP auxiliary constable is no stranger to the tour, – her husband, West Shore RCMP Const. Rod Fraser, was a tour rider in 2011. “As an alumni rider I can come out on the training rides,” Rod said. “It’s really neat to see her doing it.” Rod trains with the team whenever he isn’t working. “He’s awesome to have supporting me, especially knowing he’s done it before,” Donna said. “He has helped me tremendously and he’s been an awesome support.” Before being accepted for the Tour team, neither Rod nor Donna were avid cyclists, but the couple has found a passion for cycling and say it’s something they will continue to do together after the Tour. “I know what she’s going through as far as training is going,” Rod said. “Right now they are training her for the physical aspects but nothing can prepare you for the emotional part. For me it was very emotional.”
Tour de Rock team members Sgt. Mike Oliver, military police, and West Shore RCMP auxiliary officer Donna Fraser have found strong fundraising support from their spouses. Arnold Lim/News staff
Meanwhile, Sgt. Mike Oliver is happy to have a stable posting at CFB Esquimalt as a military police officer. A 16-year military veteran who joined the police in 2002, he has spent much of career deployed overseas, including hotspots like Bosnia and Afghanistan. This year he joined the tour as he was fortunate enough to be in the country and was eager to take part. “I’ve spent a lot of my time deployed and I have been helping people abroad,” Oliver said. Oliver’s wife Tracey has been
instrumental in his fundraising. “This has been for her as much of a journey as it’s been for me,” he said. “She’s been on board with every fundraiser. She’s been in the dunk tank and done car washes.” Mike’s fundraisers have been so successful he reached his initial goal of $5,000 months ago. He doubled his goal to $10,000 and just surpassed that one too. Oliver has always led an active lifestyle through running, going to the gym and playing hockey. This is the first time he’s ever spent so much time training on a bike.
“Riding in a group setting isn’t the same as just riding on the road. You really have to pay attention to what you are doing,” he said. The 2013 Tour de Rock team began training in March and has trained hard three days a week working on hills, speed and distance training. Originally from Ottawa, training for the Tour has been a way for Mike to explore Greater Victoria and have a chance to see Vancouver Island tip-to-tip. “I’ve never been past Courtenay,” he said. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

FILM LIstINgs OPENINg
★★★★★ WiZard oF oZ, 3d -(SilverCity) Dorothy and her ruby slippers are back, as one of the most magical movies of all times gets a rerelease in 3D! priSonerS -(Empire 6/SilverCity/ Empire Uni 4) Quebec director Denis Villeneuve (Incendies) has been getting through-the-roof praise for this thriller about two kidnapped girls and the dad who will do anything to get them back. The superb cast includes Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Viola Davis, Terrence Howard, and Melissa Leo. SalinGer -(Odeon) J.D. Salinger, the reclusive literary icon who gave us Catcher in the Rye, surrenders a few of his secrets in this intriguing biopic and memoir with contributions from such cinematic luminaries as Philip Seymour Hoffman, Edward Norton, John Cusack, Tom Wolfe, and Gore Vidal. the art oF the Steal -(Empire Uni 4) Kurt Russell plays a third-tier motorcycle daredevil and part-time thief who comes up with the idea to steal one of the most valuable books in the world. With Jay Baruchel, Terence Stamp, and Matt Dillon. Battle oF the year -(SilverCity) Here comes another of those flashy “dance off” movies, this one featuring dance teams from around the world. ★★★ you’re neXt -(Roxy, 7 pm) Gore fans should definitely 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. ★★★ 2 GunS -(Caprice) Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg play rival Drug Enforcement agents who think they are investigating each
other but have actually been set up by the mob . . . and now have to shoot their way out of a world of trouble. Lots of fun!
cONtINuINg
20 Feet From Stardom -(Odeon) The lives of talented but nearly anonymous back-up singers in some of the biggest bands in the world are explored in a marvellous documentary that includes archival footage and interviews. Featuring Darlene Love, Merry Clayton ... and slightly more famous performers like David Bowie, Sheryl Crow, Mick Jagger, and Ray Charles. Anyone who enjoys Motown and R&B will love this ravishing showcase of fullthrottle singing. ★★★★ 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) 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. 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 -(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. the Family -(Odeon/SilverCity/ Westshore/Empire Uni 4) Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer star in a lame and mostly unfunny black comedy about a mob guy who goes into Witness Protection and gets himself and his family relocated to a small town in France. Pfeiffer is pretty good, but overall this is a wreck. Fruitvale Station -(Odeon) There is lots of buzz around this truthbased reenactment of the turbulent last day of a young black man in 2008. inSidiouS: chapter 2 -(Empire 6/SilverCity/Westshore) The poor old Lambert family once again finds themselves doing battle with evil entities from the darkest corners of the spirit world in this nightmarish but rather jumbled sequel. With Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, and Barbara Hershey. 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 odd-
couple cops who will have to learn to work together if they are to stand a chance of taking down the drug lord who’s their assigned target. ★★ the lone ranGer -(Caprice) More proves to be less, as the classic western TV show from the 1950s that featured a masked lawman and his Native American sidekick gets a predictably bombastic treatment from director Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean). Starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer. monSterS univerSity -(Caprice) In this prequel to the 2001 animated smash about fuzzy plush-toy monsters, we go back to the early days when Sully (John Goodman) and Mike (Billy Crystal) met at university. the mortal inStrumentS: city oF BoneS -(Westshore/ SilverCity) 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. ★★★ thiS iS the end -(Empire 6) In this truly wacked comedy, stars such as Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel and Jonah Hill play themselves as they party at James Franco’s house -- only to find themselves confronting a terrifying, demon-filled apocalypse. Although a bit oversold and rather slapdash, this is very funny (and very rude). 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 -(Caprice) 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. ★★ riddick -(Odeon/SilverCity/ Westshore) Vin Diesel blasts back into outer space for the latest iteration of this gory and terrifying sci-fi series about a fugitive who once again finds himself battling alien predators and bounty hunters who want his head — literally. See review. ★ 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 longtime 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. ★★★ World War Z -(Roxy,8:45pm) 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. more online at mondaymaG.com/ calendar

Riddick rampage
C
alifornia-born writer-director David Twohy caused a bit of a splash 20 years ago with his script for The Fugitive, but really made a name in 2000 when he wrote and directed Pitch Black. This aptly named and truly scary scihorror outing introduced the galaxy to Riddick (gravel-voiced Vin Diesel), a lethal fugitive with glow-in-the-dark eyes and shockingly brutal survival skills. The movie itself also proved to be a survivor: the threequel has just landed in the cineplex under the reductive name of Riddick. Left for dead on a hostile planet, Riddick fights off all sorts of nasty critters till he makes it to an abandoned security station where he punches the alarm button, thus activating a bioscan that he knows will identify him as a fugitive. The plan is to steal the spaceship of any bounty hunters who arrive to capture him. Things get tricky when two rival squads appear: one leader is a blustering goof who literally wants to bring home Riddick’s head in a glass box; the other guy, more disciplined, is intent on taking him
C
alive. (Could there be a hidden agenda at work?) And so it goes, with lots of macho posturing and man-on-man mayhem – until, that is, hundreds of the planet’s alligator-sized scorpion beasties invite themselves to a tasty human banquet. Although not the strongest entry in the series, Riddick mostly rises above its low-budget look and sometimes-silly special effects. Diesel remains a compelling screen presence, and has a lot of fun interacting with the movie’s lone female, a babe of a bounty hunter who “isn’t into guys” – a point she makes with amusing force on a couple of occasions. For genre fans, this is a decent enough time-waster.

Goodnight Desdemona
A
nn-Marie MacDonald’s award-winning comedy, Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) is coming to the Belfry Theatre, and it promises to be a crowd-pleaser. The multitalented actor, playwright, author and broadcaster is best known for her international best-selling novels Fall On Your Knees and The Way The Crow Flies and as host of CBC’s Doc Zone. And Goodnight is no exception to MacDonald’s storytelling talent. The play follows lovelorn academic Constance Ledbelly, who in her obsession with her thesis is magically transported into the middle of Shakespeare’s Othello and Romeo and Juliet. In her quest to earn the respect of her double-crossing mentor, Prof. Claude Night, Ledbelly jumps through time and space and soon discovers the characters of Romeo, Juliet, Othello, Iago and Desdemona aren’t the people she imagined them to be.
The play runs Sept. 17 to Oct. 20 and stars Daniela Vlaskalic (The Drowning Girls), Michael Dufays, Nicola Elbro, Pippa Mackie and Jameson Matthew Parker, who wowed the Belfry audience last year in his role as Mark Rothko’s assistant in Red. The Belfry is teaming up with several community partners to promote the play, including an offstage Shakespeare performance (Sept. 21) and casual lunches with Goodnight performers (Sept. 24, 27, Oct. 1 and 4) at the Greater Victoria Public Library, central branch. The Belfry will also stay open for post-play cocktails and mingling on designated nights (Sept. 24 to 28, Oct. 8 to 12), and offer a Q&A with the actors (Sept. 26). See the full event listings at belfry.bc.ca. Tickets for Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) are $25 to $40 (plus GST) and available by calling 250-385-6815 or online at tickets.belfry.bc.ca. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Europe’s Beauty Secret Clinically Proven!
Fewer lines and wrinkles, thicker hair, stronger nails and denser bones.
Collagen is the key. Molecular biologists have pinpointed the key structural protein for creating smooth skin, thick strong hair, and strong nails. It’s your body’s beauty protein, collagen. During youth, you have a rich abundance of collagen. In addition, the collagen forms itself in a resilient “tight mesh” matrix. This “ideal” collagen condition prevents wrinkles from forming, gives skin elasticity, helps create thick, beautiful hair and strong nails. But over the years, collagen diminishes. Starting at age 21, collagen diminishes by 1% per year. By age 30, signs of reduced collagen on skin, hair and nails become visible, not to mention the increase risk of fracture for bones. Say the words “healthy bones,” and the first word that probably pops up is calcium, but did you know that bones are made up of 30% collagen? Collagen provides strength and flexibility to bones. When collagen diminishes – your risk of fracture increases! Now, genuine collagen regeneration is possible with clinically proven BioSil™. BioSil, a patented cholinestabilized orthosilicic acid (ch-OSA®) complex, helps your body to generate its own collagen to provide support for denser and more flexible bones as well as beautiful skin, hair and nails. BioSil has been tested in rigorous double-blind placebo controlled trials for both efficacy and safety. Regenerate Collagen with BioSil, the only clinically proven product with ch-OSA – the most absorbable form of silicon.

Goldstream Park Nature House manager Tracey Bleackley is getting excited for the biannual Nature of Island Artists Art Show, starting up Sunday, Sept. 28 at the educational centre.
Island artists create for Nature House show Kyle Wells News staff
Goldstream Park Nature House’s Nature of Island Artists Art Show 2013 is getting ready to raise some funds for the educational centre. Nature House hasn’t received government funding since 2002. The event has been running for about 25 years and brings together noted artists from throughout Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. Featured artists include Robert Bateman, Mark Hobson, Morgan Warren, Linda Heslop and Jim Jenkins.
“(The show features) lots of local artists whose work is so beautiful and it’s all nature inspired,” said Nature House manager Tracey Bleackley. “So it’s a really unique show that way, and unique too because we have our Nature House to display our art work.” For the show all of the regular displays in the Nature House are disassembled and the entire space is turned into an art gallery for the run of the show. “So we go from our nutty Nature House to our nature gallery,” Bleackley said. Artists are invited to submit a piece,
which is then up for sale either outright or by auction with a minimum bid. Part of the proceeds go to the Nature House. Some pieces are donated and all the proceeds go to the education facility. Tax receipts are available, thanks to a partnership with the Habitat Acquisition Trust, a non-profit land trust. “We do really good work down here, we think that we do, with our environmental education and the programs that we offer,” Bleackley said. The show kicks off Sunday, Sept. 28 and runs to Oct. 14 and

Business dealings by the book Munro’s Books celebrates 50 years
Half century celebrations
I
Don Descoteau Reporting
n keeping with his personable nature, Jim Munro sits in front of his heavy antique desk for an interview rather than behind it. The owner and operator of Munro’s Books, officially celebrates its 50th year in business tomorrow (Sept. 21). Blessed with a cadre of knowledgeable and long-serving staff – “the heavy lifting is done by other people,” he says – the 83-year-old is content these days to pop in around 10 a.m. and leave around 3 p.m. Such is life for a man who has helped shape the bookselling industry in Greater Victoria. Not only is the longevity of his business a testament to the strength of the independent bookstore in an era of corporate and online mega-retailers, it is a sign of the health of literary culture in the city.

Here’s a list of activities planned for the store: n Children’s story time, 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., with birthday cake served at 11. n Musicians in the minstrel’s gallery, 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. n Book signings: Noon to 1 p.m., Patrick Taylor will be autographing An Irish Country Wedding and Pray for us Sinners; 2 to 3 p.m., Red Green, author of Red Green’s Beginner’s Guide to Women (For Men Who Don’t Read Instructions)
“People are still interested in reading and we’ve got a well-educated population,” he says. Ellen Squires, Munro’s longest-serving staffer, joined the ranks in 1975. Her boss “has a sixth sense” for hiring people who are a good fit for the iconic store, she says. “We all enjoy books,” she says. “Being enthusiastic makes a big difference. It’s much more personal.” Store manager Jessica Walker, who grew up in the backs of bookstores accompanying her mother, a literary agent, agrees.

Jim Munro, owner of Munro’s Books, will celebrate the store’s 50th anniversary Saturday with a variety of literary events. 37-year veteran Dave Hill. “I was and am an avid reader,” she says. “I can’t think of another job where you get to explore so many facets of the human existence.” The utilization of the neo-classical building housing Munro’s since 1984, with its Roman columns inside and out and high, vaulted ceiling, adds to the attraction of the store with both tourists and locals alike. It recently landed the store on publisher Harper Collins’ list of “16 Bookstores to See Before You Die.” It might have been just another ill-used former bank, were it not for Munro’s visions of grandeur. He also had an eye for a bargain. “This was a 1909 building and it had been hideously modernized with cheap linoleum,” Munro recalls. The first day they tore out the false ceiling, revealing a beautiful, high ceiling. The restoration took two months and was later accented with the installation of huge, form-fitted tapestries by Munro’s wife, Carole Sabiston, that create the illusion of windows. “Jim’s stayed true to his vision that we are a bookstore, first and foremost,” Walker says. “Certainly that’s a legacy we want to preserve.” For a brief snapshot of Munro’s history, visit vicnews.com. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

he fall season of inline hockey at Eagle Ridge Community Centre is up and rolling, and leading to great opportunities for young talents. Ben Lindal travelled to Los Angeles, for the AAU Junior Olympics early this summer, playing with the Australian national inline hockey team. Lindal is a citizen of both Canada and Australia, so had the chance to play for the team after developing his skills in the Langford dry arena. Kyle Wells Lindal started inline Reporting hockey at Eagle Ridge about a year and a half ago. He plays ice hockey and first started with inline as a way to keep in shape in the off season. Now he is eyeing more international competitions in the future. Of 14 games in nine days, Australia won nine times, taking first place. “I enjoyed playing on the team. My coach was very nice,” Lindal said. “It was very nice to win a trophy with Australia, they don’t really win trophies.” The leagues at Eagle Ridge are a part of the B.C. Inline Hockey Association, which is part of the national organization. “If you play ice hockey, it improves (your skating) a lot,” said John Howard of Stitched Sports Repair, one of the organiz-

ers of the league. “It helps with offensive skills because there’s no offsides, no icing … and it’s only four-on-four, so there’s more opportunities to touch the puck and it’s more of a team game. “I noticed even personally I got better at ice hockey because I had my head up a little more cause I’m used to playing roller hockey.” There are three seasons per year. Spring is the most popular, as there are many ice hockey players looking for an activity to keep them in game shape. The sport is non-contact. There are leagues for youth, juniors, developing players and adults. For children eight and under there is a free development session every Sunday. Kids get the chance to learn how to skate and learn the basics of the sport. Some gear is available. Drop-in games take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays. To get involved, show up to a Sunday event and chat with coaches, call 250-3911738 or email eagleridgerollerhockey@ gmail.com for more information. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

We’ll play them (at UVic on Sept. 28 and 29) without most of their starters. Maybe we beat them and get ahead of them in the standings, but they’ll be a different team come CIS nationals, when they get their starters back,” Beecroft said. “We’ll give it our best shot.” Making the CIS nationals requires finishing first or second in the three-team Canada West conference. If not, the Vikes have an automatic berth as the hosts. “It’s what we’re working for,” Kirby said. “We don’t want to rely on the host spot. In 2009 we were a high-calibre team and still had to work hard to earn the spot. And for me, I want to earn my way in for my final year.”

Get your wallet out if you want to watch Phil Mack during his upcoming stint playing scrum half for the Ospreys.

It means time off from the Vikes, as the Oak Bay High grad and former James Bay Athletic Association joins a short list of about a dozen Canadians playing rugby for money. “This is the first time I have been looked at or been in search of a professional job,” Mack said from Wales. “I’m extremely excited that it turned out to be the Ospreys given the caliber of play. It is a proud moment and I’m going to work hard and just try and contribute as best I can.”

Lak Siddartha can finally compete in front of friends and family. The longtime Victoria wrestler has helped a pair of up-Island promoters launch Vancouver Island Pro Wrestling, which debuts in Victoria at the Velox Rugby Club on Saturday (Sept. 21). The first match is 7:30 p.m. “I’m so excited, I’ve been waiting to wrestle on the Island and in Victoria for years,” Siddartha said. “We’re looking to make some interesting storylines so fans will want to come and see our product.” Siddartha will face Scotty Mac out of Surrey, one of the two main events. The other main event sees current V.I. champion B.J. Laredo of Nanaimo against Eddy Osbourne of Campbell River. “We just want to bring wrestling back here like it used to be,” said co-promoter Brent Laplante (B.J. Laredo). “The idea is to stick to four main towns, Victoria, Port Alberni, Duncan and Nanaimo, with each town getting a show every two months.” Dates are still being settled on for the next show at Velox in midNovember. The Elite Canadian Championship Wrestling promotion used to hold shows in Victoria but there has been little to none in recent years.

Phil Mack is going pro with the Ospreys of Swansea, Wales. Rugby fans will know the Ospreys as the home of legendary winger Shane Williams, who Mack, 5-foot-8, has looked up to as a role model.
Lak Siddartha Siddartha ran his own program four years ago and was part of the last pro wrestling show in Victoria, a Canadian National Wrestling Alliance event at Langford’s Luxton Hall in April 2012. “I have four shows this month and more in October, including Halloween Hell, one of the bigger draws of the year in Surrey, so it’s nice to have shows to keep me here on the Island,” Siddartha said. Saturday’s card will feature Victoria’s Pete Powers vs. Tony Baroni and a women’s match between Riea Von Slasher and Bambi Hall, with Island and mainland wrestlers Cremator Von Slasher, Ravenous Randy Myers, Moondog Manson, Krofton and more. Tickets are $15 at the door, $12 in advance, or $10 for a group of four or more, and are available by phone or at Dragon Impact (764-B Yates St.), or by calling Brent Laplante at 250619-2216. For more info visit VIprowrestling.com or visit the event’s site on Facebook. sports@vicnews.com
“I have always liked to watch Shane Williams play given the fact he was an undersized player but played above his size. A definite player that inspired me.” Already in the Ospreys dressing room are Canadians Jeff Hassler and Tyler Ardron. Mack’s former teammates are still avaible to watch live for $5 to $7 locally in Barnard Cup Island rugby union play. The UVic Vikes visit the Castaway Wanderers at Windsor Park on Saturday (Sept. 21), first division at 1 p.m. and premiers at 2:45 p.m. James Bay AA hosts the Velox Valhallians at MacDonald Park, first division at 1 p.m. and premiers at 2:45 p.m. The Velox Valkyries host Cowichan in senior women’s play, 11:30 a.m. at Velox field on Saturday while the Vikes women host Lethbridge tonight at 7 p.m. on Wallace Field.

Two weeks ago Quinn Van Gylswyk kicked a 23-yard field goal in overtime to lift the UBC Thunderbirds to victory. It was a clutch win, as Van Gylswyk kicked a 30-yard field goal with 0.6 seconds left to send the game into overtime. And it was the biggest moment of the season so far for Van Gylswyk, a former Westshore Rebels player and Spectrum Community school grad, who capped the T-Birds rally from a 27-point deficit to defeat the Alberta Golden Bears 39-36 in Edmonton. Van Gylswyk also contributed in that game with a surprise run, as the 6-foot-5, 200-pound kicker faked a punt and dashed 44 yards. Unfortunately the Thunderbirds have since dropped to 1-2 on the season. On Saturday the T-Birds let a 17-point lead slip away in a 36-32 loss to the Manitoba Bisons. Tomorrow the T-Birds play in Regina (1-2).

Sharpe attributes his succes to spending the summer training with fellow Canadians from the national triathlon team in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain. “(Own the Podium) has helped cover my pool fees, coaching fees, travel to Europe and accommodation. They see this as an important investment and they have been amazing with their support,” he said. All other expenses, including
races, are covered by Sharpe. It’s logical, he says, but becomes quite costly. He foresees spending upwards of nine months away for training and racing next year as he moves towards the goal of competing in Rio. Sharpe’s last race of the season is Oct. 13 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, afterwhich it’s his goal to find a financial partner to assist him in his campaign for Rio. “(Frist) I will take a few weeks off to appreciate some of the people and activities I’ve neglected over the past season.”

In May, two bicycle thieves found themselves hiding in tall grass, along the pitch-black Pat Bay Highway near Elk Lake after Saanich police descended on the area. It was a good hiding spot from flashlights, but no so much from Zeke the police dog. The five-yearold veteran quickly sniffed out $40,000 worth of stolen gear and the suspects themselves. “Zeke located all the bikes and wetsuits stashed away and continued on the track,” said Saanich dog handler Const. Jon Zielinski. “There were speedy arrests that night.” The team of Zielinski and Zeke are the defending general-duty champions for this year’s Canadian Police Canine Championships, hosted by Saanich police this weekend. More than 30 teams from a dozen police agencies between Victoria and Montreal will be put through the paces in a friendly competition. Seven scenarios emulate what might be encountered on a typical police shift: general tracking, evidence search, compound search and building search, and obedience, agility and catching a “bad guy” in a bite suit. A separate arm of competition is held for drug and bomb sniffing dogs. Competition Friday and Saturday is closed to the pubic, as the searches are on private property. The public portion is Sunday at the University of Victoria’s Centennial Stadium for obedience, agility and dramatic dog suit take-downs.

Zielinski and Zeke train for the competition daily, dividing time between the seven challenges. A session could be as simple as Zielinski walking around a park and hiding typical evidence like a wallet or a glove, and Zeke’s rubber ball. “I’ll walk, change direction, drop evidence and hide his ball and wait 35 minutes, which represents the time delay on the street,” he said. “Zeke will follow the odour to the ball. It’s a big game for him. “The key for any dog training is to make it enjoyable for them … it’s why I place his ball at the end of a trail. He loves his ball, it’s his favourite thing. In the absence of a real person, the best thing is his ball.” Training is also elaborate, involving volunteers who don bite suits and hide in the bush or in donated space in commercial buildings. Zielinski said finding volunteers is “surprisingly easy.” Officers looking to join the canine section put in time volunteering as targets as part of learning the craft. “Anyone in a dog unit spends time doing this, they put in hour after hour after hour of volunteer time to help the canine unit,” he said. “I did it for years before I joined. You learn to be comfortable around these dogs. It’s a lot of fun.” Zielinski isn’t allowed early knowledge of competition venues, but said Zeke remains a strong allaround, highly motivated tracking dog. “Not much will stop Zeke as long as he has time to do a methodical search,” he said. “The track is either there or it isn’t. From any crime scene with a person on foot and a short time delay, more often than not a dog will find a track to evidence and ideally, the person who did the offence.” Visit cpca2013.blogspot.ca online.

This year's 21-member Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team will begin its two-week fundraising journey on Saturday, to raise money for pediatric cancer research. The team will be sent off in style Saturday morning (Sept. 21), with a community send-off at Admirals Walk in View Royal. "Saturday's send-off isn't about sending the riders up-island, it's about community and showing support for an important cause that can have a deep impact on communities everywhere on the Island" said Black
Press media rider Arnold Lim. Lim and his fellow teammates – police officers, media members and special guests – will cycle nearly 1,100 kilometres from Sept. 21 to Oct. 4 from Port Alice to Victoria. Money raised will go to pediatric cancer research and programs for children living with cancer. Lim says he's looking forward to Tour, after having spent the last eight months training on the bike and fundraising. "What I'm quickly realizing now is that the training that prepared us physically isn't necessarily the toughest part. There's
a lot, mentally and emotionally, that's happening already and that will happen when we're on Tour," he said. "I'm trying to mentally and emotionally prepare myself for what I believe will be the most intense two weeks of my life." Saturday's send-off runs from 7 to 9 a.m. in front of the Admirals Walk Coast Capital Savings branch (1499 Admirals Rd.). Refreshments and snacks will be served before the Tour riders begin their journey. Visit tourderock. ca over the next two weeks for a list of fundraising events and to read rider blog posts. kslavin@saanichnews.com
