Langford White Spot celebrates legendary food and great service!

W

hile White Spot restaurants have been a part of Victoria’s dining culture for decades, the city’s newest White Spot, and the Island’s newest, shows how great local dining can be.

Located on the Langford Parkway, between the West Shore Town Centre and City Centre Park, the Langford White Spot boasts a contemporary atmosphere perfect for an intimate meal with family or catching the game with friends in the lounge. Need private space for a corporate luncheon or party? Their meeting room can accommodate groups of up to 40 people, notes owner Vern Cornforth, who highlights White Spot’s evolving menu that speaks to today’s dining trends, while also holding true to the quality comfort foods that have made the restaurant a local favourite.

“We’re constantly upgrading our menu to go with the changing times and we’ve got some great new items such as our barbecued baby back ribs and tandoori quinoa salad, in addition to our famous Triple O burgers,” Vern says.

Long a popular choice for families, White Spot has also added to its children’s menu. Today, in addition to Pirate Pak favourites like hamburgers and scrumptious macaroni and cheese, kids can also choose healthier options like apple slices and grapes on the side.

“We had a youngster in the other day who enjoyed his first-ever Pirate Pak, and we also had someone celebrating her 98th birthday with 25 people in the party room,” Cornforth says. “It’s really exciting to be part of such memorable events for our guests.”

local community, the restaurant has hosted a variety of West Shore athletes, from the Rugby Canada players, Victoria Grizzlies and Shamrocks, to the full spectrum of minor sports teams. The Langford White Spot is also a big supporter of local non-profit organizations and fundraisers, including Parent Advisory Councils, children’s teams and countless area charities.

“I think giving back to the community is key to the continued growth on the West Shore,” explains Vern, who himself lives in the local area. “I love living in Langford and appreciate its family feel. I love how it has come to where it is and where it’s going,” says Cornforth, who started with White Spot 15 years ago as a part-time prep cook, and today owns both the Langford and Fort Street Victoria restaurants. He’s thrilled to be able to be able to provide employment for approximately 70 full and part-time employees in the West Shore alone, most of whom come directly from the local neighbourhood.

LONG ROAD HOME

A call comes over all salmon. An instinctual trigger they cannot ignore, leading them back to the place of their birth and, soon, of their death.

“They’ve been spending their life out in the ocean for three to four years, sometimes five, growing to be big adult salmon, defeating all the odds against them,” explained Tracey Bleackley, naturalist and manager of the Goldstream Nature House. “Once that trigger has gone off they stop eating and they’re just swimming. They’re just heading here.”

Goldstream River is one of the last on the Vancouver Island coast to have its salmon run, primarily because of its southern location. For tourists and residents alike, however, it’s one of the most accessible and well known spots to see this circle of nature in action, drawing thousands of people to its banks.

After a journey south from as far away as Alaska, achieved through scent, sight and a natural ability to find magnetic north, the salmon begin to make their way up the river when the temperature drops, the rain increases and leafs start dropping from the trees, releasing tannins into the water, the scent from which is another sign for the salmon to start swimming.

The females begin to swim against the current of the river as they search for the exact spot they were born.

They can get within a metre of their own birthplace, using scent to pinpoint the location.

They being to dig holes to lay eggs in as the males begin to fight one another for fertilization rights.

“There are probably one female for every four male,” Bleackley said. “So there’s a lot of fighting.”

Fertilization happens at night. The female sinks into her nest, about one foot deep, and leaves her eggs, at which point the dominant male has 15 seconds to fertilize them before the eggs are ruined.

It’s this entire spectacle which causes the parking lot of Goldstream Park to spill over to the sides of the TransCanada Highway every autumn.

While Bleackley loves that so many people come to the park to see the salmon, she also feels protective of

Etiquette The salmon are not used to the confined space of the river, having come from the open ocean, and are startled easily. Even a leaf falling off a tree can scare a salmon the point where it has a heart attack and dies.

Visitors are asked not to wear bright colours, to leave umbrellas at home, to not throw anything into or across the river and to keep dogs well away.

Kyle Wells/News staff

Goldstream Nature House manager Tracey Bleackley loves to watch the salmon as they return to Goldstream River to spawn, but has it from a good source that they don’t like interaction with humans and can actually suffer a heart attack from the most minor of disturbances. her finned friends and does her best to make sure people know not to interfere.

Bleackley said she gets emotionally involved in the salmons’ plight every year.

“It’s the ups and downs. You love to have the salmon here but it also brings in a lot of people, so it means being a voice for the salmon too,” Bleackley said. “Not only are we educating people about the conservation and how amazing this natural phenomenon is right outside our back door, we’re also educating them about the proper etiquette on the river.”

Once the eggs are hatched, the salmon’s purpose in life has come to an end and, with it, their life. Both the male and female fish, having laid and fertilized all the eggs they can, die.

“That part of the story is a little sad when people first learn about it,” Bleackley said. “But it’s pretty crucial as well.”

It’s far from the end, though. What park staff refer to as “the clean up crew” begins its work. Multiple species of birds and mammals, including hundred of eagles and some bears and wolves, make their way to the river to feast on the dead fish.

The rotting carcasses, sometimes dragged miles inland, also go on to fertilize the surrounding forest. Nutrients from the open ocean can be found in Goldstream Park trees from this process.

Visiting The best time to see the spawning is mid to late October, when the salmon begin their journey up the river. The exact time frame depends on the weather.

When all the mature salmon have died, is also an interesting, if not fragrant, time to visit.

“Everything that exists around a salmon run is because of salmon,” Bleackley said. “Everything in the park is connected to salmon.”

Long after the scavengers have left, as the sun moves closer to our part of the world and the waters of Goldstream River begin to warm up in the early days of spring, the labours of the prior fall begin to pay off.

The eggs begin to hatch, first into alevin, and then into fry, thousands of them wiggling their way out of the gravel to begin their trip to the open ocean, ready to face a dangerous life in the hopes of starting the entire process over again.

Out of every 4,000 salmon eggs hatched, about the maximum a single female salmon can lay, four will make it back to the river to procreate. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

League Group seeks credit protection Charla Huber News staff

Investors eagerly waited for answers on the first conference call since League Group filed for creditor protection last Friday.

The group behind Colwood’s Capital City Centre project filed for a Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act – a process where a corporation asks the court to put a stay into place for its creditors and shareholders.

Between struggles with financing for the Colwood project as well as one in Duncan, along with challenges creating two public companies last year, League felt filing for CCAA was the only option, said Adam Gant, League Group CEO. “We needed to protect the assets during the reorganization,” Gant said. League has 30 days to come up with a plan to propose to creditors and shareholders.

“This is disappointing for sure,” said Colwood Mayor Carol Hamilton. “League has 105 projects and if you have 105 projects in the air, something is going to fall.”

Capital City Centre was mar-

keted to Colwood residents as creating a “downtown” hub for the city.

“This project is a priority and even if it’s not League who finishes it, (someone will). It’s a very attractive site,” Hamilton said.

Hundreds of investors dialed into a conference call hosted by PriceWaterhouseCoopers and League Financial Partners, on Wednesday (Oct. 23).

in terms of the plan they’d like to see going forward,” Gant said.

“We are looking for the best plan possible.”

PriceWaterhouseCoopers is acting as an officer of the court, explained Vermette, and is in the process of compiling a report with more information to be online by the end of Wednesday after News Gazette deadline.

Filing a CCAA is different from a liquidation or bankruptcy.

“They can continue with payroll and keep the lights on, so to speak.”

– Michael Vermette, Price Waterhouse Coopers

Michael Vermette of PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Gant, and attorney John Greaves explained the situation and answered investors’ questions.

“This was a very tough decision,” Gant told those participating in the conference call. “Many of my family and closest friends were some of the initial investors.”

Gant asked the investors to submit ideas for the company’s restructuring.

“We’d like to hear from people

League Group will continue to operate under its current management and employees will still receive paycheques.

“They can continue with payroll and keep the lights on, so to speak,” explained Vermette.

League Group will be back in court for a comprehensive hearing on Nov. 18.

“Now League can determine what it wants to do going forward,” Vermette said. “League itself will take some restructuring steps … streamline opera-

League Group estimates its assets are worth about $200 million.

Greaves said he hopes to be appointed as representative council to the 3,300 investors. He would work on behalf of the stakeholders and mentioned the stakeholders may form subcommittees for each League project and appoint representatives for each group, as it’s hard for him to meet with so many investors.

“I suspect the majority of investors are on Vancouver Island,” Greaves said, anticipating the court would appoint League to cover the legal costs of his services. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

tions and make them more profitable and viable.”

After the hearing, stakeholders will have the option to look at the restructuring ideas and could ask the court to liquidate the company.

“It’s very much a function or consultation with the stakeholders,” Vermette said. “It’s far too early to make that decision. League advised us the right thing would happen for the benefit of the investors.”

Vermette said it’s too soon to know if investors will see any of their money, but added “the company reported it believed there is equity in its assets.”

Melissa Bowers signs on as a Pace Car driver in the Happy Valley school zone in a partnership program between the City of Langford, West Shore RCMP and Langford Fire Rescue.

Parents to set the pace Charla Huber News staff

Many a Happy Valley elementary parent will become a ‘rolling speed bump’ in hopes of slowing down commuters.

Langford Fire Rescue, West Shore RCMP, City of Langford and Langford bylaw are working together, with parents acting as ‘Pace Cars’ to make the Happy Valley Road school zone safer.

“These cars can act as a rolling speed bump,” said Kerry Zado, deputy chief of Langford Fire Rescue. “Happy Valley school is on what I consider a race track. Most people don’t slow down until they even see the school.”

Parents have long expressed concern about speeding drivers along the busy road.

“I sit here every day and see at least six to eight cars speeding,” said parent Bud Hobbs.

Spin helps kids at Y The YMCA-YWCA of Greater Victoria is putting out the call for its third annual Spin for Strong Kids fundraiser on Nov. 16.

All money raised will fund memberships and programs for kids, teens and young adults who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford the cost.

“Hundreds of kids coming to programs at the Downtown Y and Camp Thunderbird need financial assistance,” said Jennie Edgecombe, CEO of Greater Victoria Ys. To support the event, visit victoriay.com or call 250-386-7511.

“I’ve even seen cars zoom right through the crosswalk. It’s unfortunate, but I see it everyday.”

– Julie Barr

The Pace Car drivers sign a pledge that they will drive the speed limit through the school zone in hopes of encouraging other drivers to do the same.

“I think it’s a great idea and muchly needed,” said Happy Valley parent, Julie Barr. “I’ve even seen cars zoom right through the crosswalk. It’s unfortunate, but I see it everyday.”

The program has operated in Langford for three years and another Pace Car program is under consideration for a second school in the spring, said Zado.

“We are hoping this will spill over to all the other fire departments.”

He’d like to see it offered in

all municipalities in the Sooke School District.

Last year the project launched at Lakewood elementary where, Zado said, Pace Cars slowed traffic in the area up to 40 per cent.

“We support anything that promotes traffic safety,” said Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz, West Shore RCMP. “A lot of people are rushing to places and they are not giving themselves enough time to get where they are going safely.” charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Metchosin church among those unsold Poor church turnout continues to plague Edward Hill News staff

Nearly four years ago, the Anglican Diocese of B.C. recommended closing 11 churches across Greater Victoria, and selling the property in a bid to reduce debt and reinvigorate itself in the face of shrinking congregations.

Out of the 11, three have sold and two are leased by other organizations. The remainder are open for business as Anglican churches, and no longer face imminent closure, largely by strokes of luck.

“They were put all on the market at once, the ones people wanted to buy immediately are the only reason (others remain),” said Rev. Chris Parsons, speaking for the diocese.

“We only wanted to sell a certain amount and re-evaluate what was needed.”

Properties like St. Saviour in Vic West and St. Martin in the Fields in Saanich sold, the former to a dance company and the latter to an evangelical denomination.

St. Columba in Saanich’s Strawberry Vale and All Saints in View Royal have closed as Anglican churches and the space is leased out (St. Alban’s had sold in 2009, prior to the mass sale).

Easy approval, we can help.

Others once on the block – St. David by the Sea in Cordova Bay, St. Peter’s in Lakehill, St. Philip and St. Mary in Oak Bay and St. Mary in Metchosin – survived by the grace of not being attractive to other organizations or property developers.

“Lower Vancouver Island was over-churched, which came from our history of opening a church on every corner,” Parsons observed.

“I feel selling properties is the nuts and bolts. The real change has to do with the ministry, it’s a longer process of change.”

Parsons, the reverend for both St. Peter’s and St. David, said the churches are no longer being marketed for sale, and the individual parishes themselves have a much more rigorous process of reviewing finances. There’s also better resource sharing among churches to keep a lid on costs.

“With the assistance of diocese personnel, we’re a lot better at looking at (financial) red flags before it becomes too serious,” he said.

“We don’t say everyone can relax.

We’ll always be reviewing … there’s a diligent review process for personnel and the viability of ministries.”

“In the case of St. David and St. Peter’s, both help each other financially. When St. Peters needed a new roof, St. David paid the deposit,” Parsons said. “But they are unique communities. Cordova Bay is very

A steadily declining congregational base, the basis for church closures and sales, and internal debates on issues such as same sex marriage still remain a problems for the Anglican Church.

A report from the diocese

estimated that in 2009 barely one per cent of B.C. residents identify as Anglican. St. David sees about 40 parishioners on Saturdays and Sundays, and St. Peter’s sees about 60 people between two Sunday services.

Parsons said the individual parishes have much wider latitude to try new programs and innovations to stay relevant in

the community. St. David, for one, has a “Messy Church” service on Saturdays with activities and games for kids.

“Now we are doing some children ministry stuff, some is really successful,” he said.

“We’ve given (the parishes) the freedom to try new things and not to be afraid of failure.” editor@saanichnews.com

Safeway stores in Saanich, Oak Bay to be sold The Market grocer eyes expansion in wake of Competition Bureau ruling Edward Hill News staff

The owners of Market on Yates and Market on Millstream are eyeing the three Safeway locations in Greater Victoria that the Canadian Competition Bureau has ordered Sobeys to sell.

In a move to maintain healthy competition among large grocery outlets in Western Canada, the Competition Bureau has ordered Sobeys to sell 23 Safeway locations, including the long-standing groceries at University Heights mall and at Fort and Foul Bay Road, and the Safeway in Sidney.

In June, Sobeys, which operates as Thrifty Foods in Victoria, announced it was buying the 213 groceries, 10 liquor stores, four distribution centres and 12 manufacturing centres that make up Canada Safeway, in a $5.8 billion deal.

Darryl Hein co-owner and retail operation manager of The Market stores, said his company is interested in purchasing one, two or all three of the Safeway locations.

“We would certainly be interested in taking a look at them,” Hein said. “I personally think this will be a quick sale. I would be surprised if this dragged on very long.”

Hein expected the Competition Bureau to order Sobeys to sell Safeway locations, but he was surprised about the Fort and Foul Bay store. “It’s the only grocery store there.

Don Denton/News staff

The Safeway at Fort and Foul Bay Road is one of three in Greater Victoria the Competition Bureau has ordered Sobeys to sell to maintain competition among large grocers.

It’s probably the busiest of the three.”

Russ Benwell, co-owner of Red Barn Market, said his company would be eager to open a new location at Fort and Foul Bay, but the size of the Safeway building is too large for the Red Barn Market format.

“It would be great to be in that neighbourhood,” Benwell said. “But it’s not a fit for us and we couldn’t assume that number of employees.”

sight across Victoria for decades, but under the deal, only the store at Tillicum Centre will survive under the Safeway brand.

Andrew Walker, vice-president of communications for Sobeys, stressed the locations must be sold as fully functioning grocery stores and can’t be shut down. Purchasers will also have to honour employees’ collective agreements.

“We will be focused on selling the assets in a timely manner. We don’t expect any problem – these are great stores at great locations with great employees. Potential purchasers will see that,” Walker said on Tuesday. “They have to be sold as groceries. They won’t be Safeway but they will be groceries.”

In a decision released Wednesday, the Competition Board determined Sobeys purchase would “likely result in a substantial lessening or prevention of competition” in retail grocery stores in areas of Western Canada.

“I am confident this agreement will ensure that Canadian consumers continue to benefit from competitive prices for a wide selection of grocery products,” said John Pecman, commissioner of Competition.

“We are delighted to have received regulatory clearance from the Competition Bureau,” Marc Poulin, president and CEO, Sobeys Inc. said in release. “Our focus now turns to closing the deal, which we expect to do in early November, and beginning to serve our customers in Western Canada as one company.”

OUR VIEW

Online voting is an eventuality Our municipalities and province likely won’t be using Internet voting to help determine election results anytime soon. That doesn’t mean we won’t eventually be using such a method to cast our ballots in future.

An independent panel tasked by Elections B.C. to study Internet voting recommended this week that any such system not be implemented in time for the upcoming municipal election, nor the next B.C. vote. But it did suggest that a technical committee be struck to look into the matter further and that the legislature should support jurisdictions that wish to pursue the option in future.

The preliminary report released Wednesday offered less than lukewarm support for the idea. It confirmed that making voting easier for people in this way – those who are incapacitated, can’t work a trip to their local polling station into their schedule, or are too lazy to do so come to mind – has not been shown in other jurisdictions to significantly increase voter turnout.

As for the large group of people who feel their vote doesn’t matter, or don’t care enough to vote in the first place, they present another challenge altogether, one likely not solvable with online voting.

Increasing voter turnout at any level still comes down to individuals and parties doing the legwork and convincing non-voters of the importance of getting engaged in their communities, and potentially making a difference through casting their ballot.

That said, the world is fast becoming an all-digital environment, where computers and cellphones can be used for virtually any transaction.

While the report states the current system of voting is trusted by those who vote, that factor will become less meaningful as time goes on and generations that have grown up with technology become our communities’ core voters.

We may not have the most efficient or system-improving Internet voting experiences to draw from yet, but now is the best time to begin investigating this option, to be ready for when it is the best alternative.

OPINION

Put previous consultation into action on ferries Island residents and businesses are eagerly awaiting a proposal for B.C. Ferries routes and scheduling. The Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce has concerns about the Ministry of Transportation embarking on yet another consultation tour after extensive consultations.

The Chamber understands that B.C. Ferries needs an integrated strategy to achieve the goal of balancing its budget.

The $26-million shortfall needs to be addressed sooner than later. To date, consultations have identified numerous options to meet these financial challenges.

However, the Chamber feels that it is time to offer up a plan.

I commend both the province and B.C. Ferries for consulting the public on such an important economic driver for our region. A lot of time and money has been spent on consultation and the

Chamber feels it is now time for the Ministry of Transportation to propose a cost-savings plan for public input.

Putting advocacy into action, the Chamber has launched a letter writing campaign to the Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Todd Stone, urging reconsideration of additional consultation.

The Chamber is concerned that continual consultation, with

LETTERS Hartland biosolids centre solution leaves a bad taste in reader’s mouth I am annoyed to learn the sewage biosolids plant is to be built at the Hartland Road dump.

Seaterra is just another example of re-branding a sewage concept with a “No-Money-Back guarantee.” Some Capital Regional District directors are being misled by a Pied Piper tune – acting like lemmings falling over a cliff in pursuit of promised provincial and federal funding. The promises are as thin and transparent as cheap bathroom tissue, all in pursuit of a bi-product consisting of sludge, herbicides, insecticides and toxins.

The $783 million quotation is likely just the down payment.

Consider past financial miscalculations for the CREST radio system, McTavish Road Interchange, CRD kitchen scraps program, Viewfield Road treatment site and other infrastructure upgrades.

There are no costs to CRD politicians who make bad decisions, other than losing their election. For those who win, there will be self-regulated bonuses, no-fault clauses and amnesty for cost overruns likely hidden by “in-camera confidential discussion.” Taxpayers must still

pay increased property taxes when municipal services are further reduced.

The CRD has chosen to ignore the wisdom of experts like Dr. Shaun Peck. Instead, it is relying on advice from interest groups and lobbyists such as the David Suzuki Foundation.

Several less expensive tertiary sewage treatment plants should be built throughout the Capital Region, using Dockside Green as their model.

If CRD proceeds with their expensive obsolete plan there will be fewer private projects attempted, owing to new higher taxes, fees and a growing to-do list from all three levels of government. That leads to less disposable income for local residents and businesses.

Fortunately, at local coffee shops, there is an expanding group of seniors in disagreement with the CRD’s decision. They are wellinformed voters.

The CRD decision for secondary treatment, with twin pipes from Hartland to Macaulay Point is an unthinkable, undrinkable solution.

Art Bickerton Saanich

Piping sewage sludge to Hartland irresponsible When I expressed my concern about the proposed sewage project to one of the Capital Regional District’s liquid waste committee directors a year ago, I was assured that the “fear mongering” was unnecessary. The project would be changed and improved along the way.

That clearly hasn’t happened.

Their decision to pipe sludge to Hartland is astoundingly irresponsible. If the CRD wanted to sink their own ship, they couldn’t have done a better job. They have now demonstrated how truly foolish this proposed project will be.

Even if you firmly believe in treatment, the effectiveness of this plan will be minimal. The CRD is trying to brainwash the public into thinking that there will be resource recovery. After the energy required to pump sewage uphill for 18 kilometres, that idea is laughable.

If you want value for money, burn it in the fireplace or flush it down the toilet.

Dave Ferguson Saanich

John Horgan

no plan developed from previous consultation recommendations, will alienate those involved in the process. Coastal communities need a reliable transportation solution that meets their needs.

This needs to be done in a responsible and sustainable manner.

Businesses as well as other members of the community need certainty around B.C. Ferries service.

This issue affects many businesses in the Greater Victoria area that need to know just how such changes will affect them, sooner rather than later.

Royal Roads University will host a talk called Resonance of Remembrance: Touring Battlefields of the World Wars on Nov. 7 from 7 to 9 p.m.

Associate professor Geoffrey Bird will talk about his research specialty: the evolution of war remembrance and the rise of interest in battlefield visits especially to such places as

Vimy Ridge, Ypres, the Somme and Normandy.

Bird will examine the “sense of place” associated with cemeteries and battlefields and how wars are commemorated, what is remembered and the ways memory evolves from generation to generation.

victoria’s ultimate get out guide

Capturing the legacy of TRAVIS PATERSON

Ted GranT chapter is about Irene. She was there when I shared the news, all of us at their kitchen table, that the book had a publisher.”

Having just lost Irene, his partner of 60 years, Grant was in the grieving process.

“Right from the start I thought, ‘I’ll just start interviewing him, and take it slowly,’” Fayle said. We limited it to two hours a day, usually once a week.”

Somewhere around the 35th meeting Grant uncovered a lifetime scrapbook, three-feet by four-feet in size, which he’d been working on for 60 years, he said..

Then came another major find, a box of Grant’s diaries, again charting his career, which she was able to use to crossreference his many stories.

Despite Grant’s tag as the father of Canadian photojournalism, Fayle’s pitch was rejected by 12 publishers before Heritage House agreed to take it on. Some never even responded, she said.

“I think people are going to freak out when they read some of the stories,” Grant said. “What a job she’s done to craft these into the book. I really think it captures (that) you get what you give out of life.”

Both author and subject will present the book at the University of Victoria on Sunday (Oct. 27), 2 p.m. in the David Lam Auditorium of the MacLaurin building. Grant is scheduled to speak at UVic for 25 minutes but will likely go over. The event is free, as is parking at UVic on Sundays.

hittling down 135 of Ted Grant’s photos from his collection of over 300,000 was just part of the process for Thelma Fayle.

Her first feature book, a biography, Ted Grant: Sixty Years of Legendary Photojournalism, launched last week. It took the freelance writer deep into the life of the renowned Canadian photojournalist for the past two years. Now 85, Saanich-based Grant is as emotional as ever, and is very much the same man who shot nine Olympic Games, the Vietnam War and countless iconic Canadian and international moments.

“When I read (the book) I had it for three hours and I cried half the time I was trying to read it. I’ve published eight (photography) books but they have been about others, not myself,” Grant said.“I’m emotional. When I was on assignment I’d be crying while trying to focus the lens. Same with seeing kids in Chernobyl (post-nuclear disaster).

The emotion drove me to Thelma Fayle stay in the moment and watch.”

So often, Fayle was overwhelmed with the decision process of what to include. She sifted through more than 300,000 Grant photos at the national archives in Ottawa and thousands more in his Saanich home. The stories, which she gleaned from 50-odd interviews with him and several more with former colleagues, totalled well into the hundreds of hours. All of it spoke to Grant’s bold spirit and colourful character. Even Grant COMPLETE PAIR (ask for details) had trouble picking one photo over another.

The experience was uplifting with the only one downside, fitting it into 224 pages.

“I wanted to honour a hard working Canadian artist and Grant is just that. So many Canadians know his work but not his name,” Fayle said.

Paul Destrooper, artistic director of Ballet Victoria, as Frankenstein.

SuPPlIED PhOTO

Ballet Victoria’s modern and unexpected season DANIEl PAlMER dpalmer@vicnews.com In James Whale’s notoriously camp 1931 rendition of Frankenstein, the undead monster staggers clumsily from his operating table towards his maker, his grotesque appearance belying a gentle nature.

It may seem odd at first glance, then, that artistic director Paul Destrooper chose the ungraceful monster as his protagonist for Ballet Victoria’s season premiere this weekend at the McPherson Playhouse.

“I love movies, I love pop culture and different music styles,” Destrooper says from his office above St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. In the adjoining studio, a dozen ballet dancers stretch, plié and brisé as they prepare for the threeday run of Frankenstein, choreographed by Destrooper.

“I like to mix up (those genres) together. Sometimes, when people hear the concept, they think it’s not going to work, but you can actually make the transitions seamless.”

When Destrooper first arrived at Ballet Victoria five years ago, he was working with eight dancers and an $80,000 budget. Now, the non-profit company retains a steady ensemble of 10 to 12 dancers and provides an ambitious four-show season thanks to steady donors and a few innovative cost-saving measures.

“It’s not that I want to do everything, but choreography is expensive,” he says. “Ballet is like opera, it’s like the symphony, they are art forms that are expensive. … You need weeks and weeks of rehearsal to put a show together.”

From Oct. 25-27, Ballet Victoria takes the conventional story of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and combines elements of Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride and dancing graveyard spirits from the classic ballet Giselle with a

common love story weaving through two acts.

“Giselle was the original zombie ballet,” Destrooper says.

The dance troupe is joined by the Victoria Symphony and Joey Pietraroia on Dec. 28 and 29 for The Gift, a story told to the music of The Nutcracker at the Royal Theatre.

In the new year (March 22, 23), dancers shake off the winter blues with The Rite of Spring, a mix of classical and contemporary dance created by choreographer Bruce Monk to Stravinsky’s well-known score. Expect a West Coast flavour with passionate and fierce dancing, says Destrooper.

The final show of the season, also choreographed by Destrooper, is Carl Orff’s Camina Burana on May 30 and 31 at the Royal Theatre.

Combining live music and a choir, the show promises to entertain all audiences.

“We have an amazing product, and one of the toughest things is to get people to come to the show,” Destrooper says. “But once they do, they want to come again.”

One of Ballet Victoria’s proudest achievements, he says, is how the company remains anchored in the local community and economy, drawing from a rich professional arts scene in the Capital Region.

“We create everything here in the community, essentially. There’s a lot of talent here, and I bank on that quite a bit.”

Destrooper urges resistant theatregoers to take a leap of faith and experience modern and unexpected ballet.

“We don’t have a massive production value, the artwork therefore has to be even greater. The dancers are stunning, the show is entertaining and accessible, but at the same time has depth. You’ll see some amazing dancing.”

Film OPENiNG

ALL IS LOST -(Odeon) Cinema icon Robert Redford should be great in a wordless performance as a solo sailor whose life is threatened after his sailboat has a devastating collision with a rogue shipping container in the middle of nowhere.

BAD GRANDPA -(SilverCity/ Westshore) Head jackass Johnny Knoxville spins off his “crazy grandpa” character into a full-length comedy about an irascible and incorrigible 86-year-old troublemaker who takes an accident- and crimeridden journey across America with his 8-year-old grandson. Spike Jonze (!) co-wrote the story.

THE COUNSELOR -(Odeon/

SilverCity/Empire Uni 4) Ridley Scott helmed this promising crime thriller about a lawyer who learns the (very) hard way that it’s a bad idea to get involved in the illegal drug business.

Written by Cormac McCarthy and starring Brad Pitt, Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem, Michael Fassbender, and Cameron Diaz. ★★★ ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW -(Roxy, 7:30, 10 pm) It’s Time Warp time once again! Note: only showing on October 31.

CONTiNUiNG

★★★★ CAPTAIN PHILLIPS -(Odeon/SilverCity/Empire Uni 4/ Westshore) Talented director Paul Greengrass (Bourne Supremacy) tells the true tale of a ship captain (Tom Hanks) whose boat is captured

by Somali pirates. Tense but also thoughtful, this is a thriller with a brain. ★★½ CARRIE -(Odeon/SilverCity/ Empire Uni 4/Westshore) Stephen King’s horror classic gets a competent but unnecessary remake at the hands of Kimberly Peirce (Boys

Don’t Cry). Chloe Grace Moretz plays the shy high school outcast, while Julianne Moore is her religiously obsessed mom. See review online mondaymag.com.

CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS 2 -(SilverCity/ Westshore) The wacky animated comedy about an infamous machine that churns out scary food-animal hybrids was popular enough to merit a sequel. Consider yourself warned!

With the vocal talents of Bill Hader, Anna Faris, and Will Forte. ★★½ DESPICABLE ME 2 -(Caprice) 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 -(Caprice) Matt Damon and Jodie Foster star in a futuristic sci-fi thriller where the Earth has become a polluted ghetto

and the lucky few get to live in luxury on a floating space station orbiting languidly above. Well, that’s about to change. It’s hard to argue with the politics, but this new film by the writer-director of District 9 is too heavy-handed and cliched to take seriously. ★★★½ ENOUGH SAID -(Odeon) The latest from delightfully quirky writer-director Nicole Holofcener (Please Give, Friends With Money) features a divorced woman who sets her sights on a man – only to learn that he is the much-loathed ex-husband of her new gal pal. This sweet, clever, sexy, and insightful sort-of romantic comedy stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Catherine Keener and, sigh, the late James Gandolfini.

ESCAPE PLAN -(SilverCity/ Westshore) Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger team up in a brutal actioneer about two convicts who will do anything to break out of the world’s most secure prison. ★★★½ GRAVITY -(Odeon/SilverCity/Empire Uni 4/Westshore) Sandra Bullock and George Clooney star in a harrowing, brilliantly-executed thriller about two astronauts aboard a space station who survive an accident only to find themselves drifting helplessly through space, with little hope of

rescue or survival. ★★½ FIFTH ESTATE -(Odeon/ SilverCity) Benedict Cumberbatch stars as Julian Assange, the mastermind behind whistle-blowing WikiLeaks, in an uneven drama that benefits from superb performances and a balanced look at a complicated and self-contradictory man. See review. ★★★½ PRISONERS -(Westshore) Quebec director Denis Villeneuve (Incendies) has been getting great praise for this bleak and violent police procedural about two kidnapped girls and the dad who will do anything to get them back.

RUNNER RUNNER -(Caprice) A smart college student with a knack for gambling (Justin Timberlake) hooks up with a sinister offshore entrepreneur (Ben Affleck) who runs an online poker empire from a corrupt Caribbean island. This has become one of the worst-reviewed movies of the year.

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.

Manage stress naturally improve energy, sleep Better, Reduce Cravings

By Karen Jensen, ND Our ability to adapt to stress depends upon optimal function of the adrenal glands. When excess or chronic stress overloads our adrenal glands - symptoms and disease can occur. Some of the common earlier symptoms of adrenal stress include: fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, depression, low back pain, asthma, allergies, blood sugar problems, hormonal imbalances, irritability, headaches, sugar cravings, gastrointestinal symptoms and inflammatory conditions.

The ‘roots’ of the original AdrenaSense Formula Throughout my life I had good health and boundless energy and then suddenly in my early 30’s I hit the wall with fatigue… I had three children under the age of 3, my marriage broke up, and I went back to work thinking I could ‘do it all’. My body did not agree… nothing helped the crippling fatigue until I saw a naturopathic doctor who introduced me to my adrenal glands.

Forty years later I still take adrenal support during times of added stress. When I started naturopathic practice in the 1980’s it was my own experience with adrenal fatigue that allowed me to recognize it in my patients and over the years I saw the need for an effective adrenal supplement to help people with the stressors and demands of daily living.

There is much more awareness about adrenal fatigue today and also other adrenal fatigue formulas on the market. AdrenaSense® is the original solution I formulated for patients and others who have found it very effective.

The herbs in the AdrenaSense formula are called adaptogens that have been proven to support stress reactions and normalize adrenal function. These include Rhodiola, Suma, Schizandra Berries, Siberian Ginseng and Ashwagandha, which in combination, enhance mental and physical performance; balance the nervous system helping with anxiety and insomnia; support the immune, cardiovascular and hormonal systems; counteract fatigue, anxiety and depression; provide vital energy and act as a ‘general tonic’ to support the effects of stress and fatigue.

★★★★ WATERMARK -(Odeon) The newest collaboration between documentary filmmaker Jennifer Baichwal and renowned photographer Edward Burtynsky (Manufactured Landscapes) is a profound and engaging meditation on our complex relationship with water – and especially how our use of technology is affecting the world’s water supplies. ★★½ WE’RE THE MILLERS -(Caprice) 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. ★★★ WOLVERINE -(Roxy, 8:55) 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. ★★½ THE WORLD’S END -(Roxy, 7:00) 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.

Hero or villain?

W ikiLeaks started out as an obscure, whistleblower website that leveraged the power of the Internet to topple crooked bankers and embarrass African dictators alike. WikiLeaks’ founder, Julian Assange, was an obsessive hacker with a messianic compulsion to expose people corrupted by wealth and power. Within a few years he morphed into a news-making titan when – in concert with three of the world’s most respected newspapers – WikiLeaks released tens of thousands of topsecret documents and videos from the American government. Most notorious was footage of the crew of a U.S. Apache gunship laughing as they casually slaughtered a half-dozen innocent civilians on the streets of Baghdad. Soon, though, Assange himself was exposed – as a reckless megalomaniac with slippery ethics and a vengeful streak.

He is, in short, a marvelously complex person and a great subject for a biopic. Unfortunately, The Fifth Estate proves to be a fascinating but flawed portrait of Assange (captured marvelously by Benedict Cumberbatch). It dwells at excessive length on his intense relationship with Daniel Berg (Daniel Bruhl, Rush), an idealistic and moral computer “hacktivist” who became an early – and malleable – conscript for Assange’s campaign. (The movie is mostly based on Berg’s tell-all book, which presumably accounts for this imbalance.) The contrast between the two men is striking, and forms the glib measuring stick by which the audience is asked to judge the flaws of the vainglorious Assange. The two actors are both brilliant, though, and give the narrative its strong emotional core.

There is much more to the Assange story than is shown in Estate (check out the documentary We Steal Secrets, from the gifted director of Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room). And this movie version is further hobbled by the repeated use of over-the-top visual flourishes that attempt to convey the nature of data and communication in our wired world. That said, this movie tackles one of the most important issues of the last several years. Data has become more powerful than weapons, and our governments are becoming ever more secretive with it. Assange, for all his flaws, is the hero who bravely demanded transparency. He did us all a huge favour by punching the Pentagon and the U.S. State Department in ★★½ the nose.

Whitfield’s makes final transition Whitfield’s work changed sports Travis Paterson News staff

Lance Watson recalls waiting for a triathlon to start on a summer’s day in 2001, less than a year after Simon Whitfield won gold at the Sydney Olympics in 2000.

A six-year-old was riding his bike and said “Look at me Dad, I’m Simon, I’m Simon.”

“After Sydney, Whitfied was a household name,” said Watson, who coached Whitfield and the national team in 2000. “I’d like to think we’re so clever we would have produced other champions but in all seriousness, as a coach (Whitfield’s) one of those athletes that comes along once or twice in your career. The sport exploded in Canada after (Sydney) in terms of mass participation and awareness.”

Whitfield, now 38, declared his official retirement on Tuesday. But his impact on the sport and on athletics in Canada is immeasurable.

“As far as triathlon goes,

William Shepherd/News staff

Nobody smiles bigger than Simon Whitfield, who enjoys a laugh at the recent president’s run at UVic. (Sydney in 2000) legitimized our sport in two ways,” Watson said. “He legitimized it in the eyes of the public, and brought it A-level gov-

ernment funding because we were among the sport’s world class.”

After a summer season in which Whitfield turned

down the chance to run half and full Ironman races, he is re-focusing on his career in new media and will head Fantan Group’s new sports entertainment division in Victoria, on a cross-media project with Rogers Media.

The triathlon community can forgive Whitfield for not pursuing long-distance races as he said he might.

After all, where would the sport of triathlon be in Canada if not for Simon? “(This) marks the end of my career as a professional athlete; it’s been an incredible journey and an amazing chapter in my life,” Whitfield said in a statement this week. “I grew up dreaming of representing Canada at the Olympic Games, though I never imagined I would have the honour of wearing the maple leaf four times, winning (gold and silver) Olympic medals, and bearing the flag.”

Canada’s flag bearer in London is citing his venture into a new division of sports media of which they will announce in a few months, Fantan said.

Whitfield leaves one heck of a legacy among the very highest in Canadian sport.

In addition to his Olympic gold in 2000 he won Olym-

pic silver in 2008, gold at the 2002 Commonwealth Games, 12 Canadian championships and 14 world cup victories.

“If you look at Gretzky and Jordan, they changed the way other elite players played the game, and so did Whitfield.”

– Kelly Guest

He brought the sport to Canadians in way that we may never be able to appreciate, because he transcends the sport, says former roommate and national teammate Kelly Guest.

“The theatre of triathlon in Canada is 90 per cent related to Simon’s success,” Guest said. “What he did in Sydney brought it to the greater public. On a social level, people (learned) what it was, that triathlon didn’t have any equestrian or archery elements to it.”

Whitfield started with the Kids of Steel youth triathlon race in his hometown of Kingston, Ont., and the same organization reported sell-outs and wait-lists across Canada after each of

his successes.

Like Watson, a leading triathlon coach and an owner with Saanich’s LifeSport Coaching, Guest makes a full-time living as a local triathlon coach with Kelly’s Kids, an introductory program for youth, the provincial B.C. team and with under-23 athletes.

Guest moved to Victoria in 1999 as part of the fledgling national team with Whitfield, Brent McMahon and Watson, the coach.

Together they helped redefine high performance training in Canada.

If you look at Whitfield’s career trajectory, he was an elite contender from 1996 to 2012, Guest said.

“Whitfield was top-10 at a world championship in 1996. Few athletes have a career that consistent, it’s the (triathlon) equivalent of a Michael Jordan or Wayne Gretzky.

“People don’t typically sit down and watch triathlon, but if you look at Jordan and Gretzky, they changed the way other elite players played the game, and so did Whitfield. We had leading triathletes from the world coming here to train with us.” sports@vicnews.com

“They looked really good, it’s nice to see them get out there and use the techniques of the sweet science,” said their Victoria coach Jason Heit. “They had good strategy, good counters and good movement.”

Paul won a unanimous decision against Abdul Sidal while Peter fought to a draw with Ilya Kovalenka. The latter pair have booked a rematch in November in Langley. Colwell won a unanimous decision over Luke Creighton.

In their place is a new wave of Canadian nationals led by Pat Kay, who captained the under-20 national team this year, Giuseppe Du Toit, an 18-year-old South African import who started at fly half for Canada in the Americas Rugby Championship, and under-20 players Nathan Yanagiya and James Pitblado, as well as future U20 players Jeff Nishima-Miller and Hayden Evans.

“Du Toit is lights out as a kicker,” Vikes coach Doug Tate said. “He’s going backwards now after moving up from high school to the Vikes to the ARC. It’ll be easier dealing with the pressure now.”

South African wins Indoor Challenge Age proved the difference as 33-year-old Rik de Voest defeated 19-year-old Filip Peliwo in Sunday's championship final of the South Island Indoor Tennis Challenge at Cedar Hill Recreation Centre.

De Voest, a Vancouver-based South African, is ranked 167th on the ATP World Tour. He took the $5,000 prize for first place. Peliwo, the 2012 ITF Junior World Champion, took home the second place prize of $3,500. Third place winner Philip Bester defeated HaySharon Tiffin/News staff them Abid for $2,000.

The UVic Vikes and James Bay Athletic Association rugby clubs have a long-standing rivalry with plenty of story lines. The teams meet in Canadian Direct Insurance Premier League play tomorrow (Oct. 26). It’s a preview of next month’s Barnard Cup Vancouver Island senior men’s rugby championship.

Kick-off is 2:45 p.m. at James Bay’s home of MacDonald Park.

The Vikes’ youth versus the age and experience of the Bays has long been at the heart of the clubs’ heated rivalry. For the past five years the Vikes’ core of national level players has boasted Nathan Hirayama, Sean Duke and Phil Mack in the half and back fields, with powerful forwards Andrew Tiedemann

The Bays are also stronger, as the defending provincial champs have Mack back from the Vikes after the national team scrum half and sevens star spent three seasons with the university.

Mack was listed at scrum half for the Bays last week but is a proven winger, if needed.

The Bays (1-1) are coming off a 40-15 drubbing of the Castaway Wanderers (1-1) at Windsor Park last week, while the Vikes (2-0) won 34-23 over struggling Capilano (0-2). CW is home to Burnaby Lake (2-0). In senior women’s play the UVic Vikes are home to Cowichan at Wallace Field and the Velox Valkyries are home to Nanaimo at Velox, both with an 11:30 a.m. start. sports@vicnews.com

Vikes rowers host Gorge, Elk regatta

Help wanted: Community leaders, builders, mentors Leadership Victoria opens nominations for 2014 awards Daniel Palmer News staff

William Shepherd/News staff

Sustainability entrepreneur Jill Doucette is an alumni of Leadership Victoria and a champion of its success.

Back in 2008 when Jill Doucette was studying at the University of Victoria, she couldn’t find her dream job.

So she made it up.

A champion of sustainability, Doucette wanted to help businesses catalyze the green economy by reducing energy consumption and measuring their success.

Five years later, she’s overseeing a thriving business, Synergy Enterprises, from her office in downtown Victoria.

“We work with restaurants, hair salons, local tech companies and others, and what they all have in common is they want to be leading their sector in sustainability, and we help them do that,” she said.

In 2011, Doucette’s efforts caught the attention of Leadership Victoria, a collaborative volunteer-based organization that includes leaders from the University of Victoria, local Rotary clubs and the Victoria Foundation.

May vote proposed to replace NDP leader Tom Fletcher Black Press

The provincial executive of the NDP has proposed May 25, 2014 for a leadership vote to select a replacement for Adrian Dix. The party executive picked the date, almost exactly three years before the next scheduled B.C. election, to avoid municipal elections next fall and a federal election expected in 2015. That is to make it more practical for municipal politicians and MPs to consider the jump to provincial politics.

The May vote was chosen after discussion with the party's current MLAs and constituency presidents, but must be approved by the NDP provincial council.

The B.C. NDP's next party convention is Nov. 15 to 17 in Vancouver. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Doucette, 26, earned the Vancity Youth Award for her success as well as her ambitions to create a global green economy.

Reflecting on the honour, the young entrepreneur said there’s still a lot to do.

“One of the benefits of Leadership Victoria is the personal growth it facilitates with potential leaders in the region,” she said. “It really connected me with others who are looking to make those same connections.”

The Victoria Leadership Awards nominations are once again open for 2014, culminating in a gala event at the Crystal Gardens on Feb. 26. Organizers are looking for Greater Victoria’s mentors, community builders and humble leaders who make the region a better place.

“I’d say a good candidate is anybody who’s pushing the envelope,” Doucette said.

“Leadership, as I define it for myself, is the ability to inspire others.

“I would look at the community and think about who in the community is inspiring others to make change, or leading a team towards making our community better.”

Please support the 2013 Poppy Campaign REMEMBRANCE DAY – NOVEMBER 11TH

Every year at this time, we as a nation pause to honour the sacrifices and achievements of those who have served Canada, those who have returned home from service and, sadly, those who did not.

We should all remember and think about all they have given on our behalf and the impact each and every one of them has had on Canada, and the world as a whole. Wear a Poppy and let’s all help to educate and pass on this tradition of remembrance to our future generations. Remember, November 11th at the Langford Cenotaph, bring your children, and take a moment to reflect on what it means and the sacrifice it honours. Walk up to a Veteran, shake his or her hand and offer a simple “thank you”. It will mean the world to them and, make no mistake, they have earned nothing less.

Poppy Campaign DONATIONS

are placed in public trust funds. Campaign money received during the last three years exceeded $229,000. Some of the many ways these funds were used to improve life for people living in the Western Communities include:

VETERANS FACILITIES & BENEFITS

$121,200

BURSARIES, University/College

$15,000

POSTER & LITERARY CONTESTS, Elementary Schools

$5,800

CADET UNITS

$12,700

What Does The Poppy Fund Do? 1. It cares for the emergency welfare of Western Communities Ex-Service personnel, widows and their dependents, in situations caused by unforeseen circumstances.

THEY RECEIVE IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE FOR FOOD, RENT, CLOTHING, MEDICAL AND DENTAL, HYDRO, HEATING OIL AND TRANSPORTATION. 2. It can assist with the construction, maintenance, repair and furnishing of Social Housing, including Long Term Care facilities for elderly and disabled persons.

3. It can allot funds for community medical appliances and research.

4. It provides a remembrance opportunity, through your donation, to say: “I CARE TOO”

The Royal Canadian Legion Veterans from Langford Branch No. #91 will be attending with great pride at the Cenotaph alongside with fellow veterans, military personnel, Federal, Provincial and Municipal officials, Army, Navy and Air Force Cadet units, Boy Scouts, Girls Guides and Beavers, members of local organizations, children and citizens of the West Shore communities, together with everyone remembering.

We stand with our heads bowed in prayer observing and listening as the flags flutter in the breeze, we can’t help but glance at the expressions We are always getting requests for financial assistance. The only way we can achieve the goals we set forth every year is to get as much help from OUR COMMUNITY and of course OUR LEGION MEMBERSHIP. So when a Legionnaire arrives at your business door, or you see them offering poppies at various West Shore locations, PLEASE GIVE THEM YOUR SUPPORT. This year the Poppy Campaign will start on Friday October 25 and end on November 10th. As every year we desperately need your help manning various locations. We ask for two-hour shifts.

The more volunteers we have the less for multiple shifts. Most of our volunteers are the same people who help every year. We would like to see more

of emotion and the tears of remembrance rolling down the cheeks of those “old enough” who pause to remember what this day means to them. This day reminds them of lost friends and memories past. Now, for most children, the First and Second World Wars are “too far in the past” for them to appreciate on a personal level but deep inside, they too, somehow realize how fortunate they and we all are. We soon forget the sadness of this day and rejoice in just being together both the young and the old.

new faces helping this year. This year we need volunteers more than ever. As always the cadets will be there to help us, but WE NEED YOU TO HELP US HELP OTHERS. And, for OUR LEGION MEMBERSHIP, We need your help. Langford Branch No.91 and the Poppy Campaign Committee would like to ask YOU to step forward and VOLUNTEER for this year’s campaign.
