One colonist’s trash is another man’s treasure, given a century or so.

Hunt around long enough in the Gorge Waterway and antique bottles can emerge from the muck.

For Reece Hygh, the Gorge remains a treasure trove of old handmade bottles and clay jugs produced in breweries and factories dating to the earliest days of Fort Victoria.

“The Gorge is one of the first places people partied. For Fort Victoria, the British colonists drank there and would toss in their bottles,” Hygh said.

“You can still find really old bottles, embossed pop and beer bottles. We’ve found bottles marked ‘poison’. We’ve found U.S. Navy mustard bottles that date to 1858, dried mustard bottles. That is cool.”

Probing the grasses and mud using a rake and a snorkel, Hygh and friend Chris Hill recently found a shard of a bottle stamped with ‘VB’ for Victoria Brewery, which is circa 1868.

That early brewery first used water from Swan Lake and then moved into downtown Victoria. They’ve found ginger beer and pop bottles from Alex Phillips, the first bottler of soda pop in Western Canada, and from Christopher

Morely, who had his factory in Waddington Alley in a building since refurbished into condos.

The practice of hunting through silt and muck is called mudlarking, and dates back two centuries to impoverished Brits who scavenged the shores of the Thames River.

Hygh, 54, has collected antique bottles for 40 years and enjoys the thrill of treasure hunting and its connection to local history.

“I’m a history buff. I like relics like embossed bottles from Victoria or Nanaimo or Vancouver or San Francisco,” he said, noting that Alex Phillips first imported his bottles from San Francisco. “I do this as a hobby. We are the keepers of relics. We keep them for a while, then pass them on.”

He normally hunts for old bottles “above the falls,” otherwise known as west of the Tillicum Bridge. Many sections of the Gorge were popular for swimming and socializing in the early 1900s, before the era of industry and pollution.

“I walk the Gorge a couple times per year,” said Hygh, who lives in Nanaimo. “Other collectors walk it every day and still find stuff. Some people go in the water with (fishing) boots and wetsuits. That’s not for me. I scrounge around along the side.”

Reece Hygh holds a Victoria Brewery beer bottle shard from the 1880s he found in the Gorge. Hygh and friend Chris Hill use snorkles and a rake to find the old bottles buried under silt and grasses. He also found a black and a blue glass bottles from the same era, when bottles were made by hand and imported from England.

A man who bilked tens of thousands of dollars from seniors around the region pleaded guilty to eight counts related to fraud and was handed 18 months in jail last Thursday.

Kevin Thomas Gordon, 38, of Victoria, scammed seniors by going doorto-door and offering power-washing, painting or driveway resealing services.

Among the victims was an 88-yearold Saanich man, whose credit and debit cards were stolen by Gordon, who charged upwards of $15,000 on the cards. He defrauded an 85-yearold woman in Saanich for about $900 for pressure-washing services.

He also scammed an Oak Bay resident out of $1,220 for driveway resealing that he never started.

A joint investigation in 2012 by the Oak Bay, Saanich and Central Saanich police determined Gordon was responsible for a series of similar frauds across Greater Victoria.

He pleaded guilty to two charges of theft from incidents in Colwood; fraud over $5,000, using a stolen credit card and fraud under $5,000 from incidents in Saanich; and three charges of fraud under $5,000 from incidents in Oak Bay, Victoria and Saanichton.

“This is a file that our detective section took an active interest in from the start,” said Oak Bay Police Chief Mark Fisher.

“In this instance the offender actually took the victim to the bank to get cash from her account before doing the work. This type of exploitation of the elderly is despicable.”

In Victoria provincial court, Gordon received an 18-month sentence, and was ordered to make restitution upon his eventual release, as a condition of the court imposed probation. editor@saanichnews.com

Viewfield Former drug addicts plot bombing, says RCMP sewage site axed Daniel Palmer News staff

CRD reverting to Hartland for biosolids plant Daniel Palmer News staff

As a result of overwhelming public opposition, Capital Regional District directors have unanimously abandoned the possibility of a sewage sludge plant in Esquimalt’s industrial park.

The CRD purchased the 4.2-acre Viewfield Road property for $17 million in March, prior to public consultation, as a possible location for the region’s biosolids energy plant.

The CRD will now likely sell the property at a loss.

Businesses and residents in Esquimalt and Vic West opposed the idea from the beginning, and CRD directors bowed to public pressure Wednesday after CRD staff held several open houses to gather formal feedback from residents. A majority of respondents rejected the plan.

The CRD will now revert to its original plan to use Hartland Landfill property for the biosolids facility, while a wastewater treatment plant at McLoughlin Point awaits a zoning decision from the Township of Esquimalt.

Using Hartland means piping or trucking sludge 18 kilometres from the McLoughlin treatment centre.

The CRD’s secondary sewage treatment project was announced in July 2012 at a cost of $783 million, split between the three levels of government.

The price tag does not include the $17 million for the Viewfield site nor for associated staff time. dpalmer@vicnews.com

In the midst of Canada Day fanfare Monday, an inconspicuous couple strolled the grounds of the B.C. legislature with pressure cookers full of shrapnel and what they believed were active explosives.

The bombs were hidden near the legislature building and left to detonate amongst 40,000 revellers.

According to the RCMP, John Stewart Nuttall, 39, and Amanda Marie Korody, 29, had committed to their intended day of terror in early March, settling on Nuttall’s former hometown of Victoria during a national holiday.

But unbeknownst to the Surrey couple, their every move – from site selection to bomb-making to their retreat back to the Lower Mainland – had been meticulously monitored under the eye of the RCMP and other federal intelligence agencies.

At a press conference Tuesday, RCMP Asst. Commissioner James Malitzia refused to say if undercover officers were working with

the duo, but said the improvised explosive devices were under police control at all times.

If proven in court, perhaps the most unsettling aspect of Nuttall’s and Korody’s descent into indiscriminate violence is their “self-radicalization” in the absence of clear political motivation or connection to a terrorist network, said University of Victoria professor Scott Watson, an expert in international terrorism.

“This seems to be an escalation of criminality or criminal violence, not necessarily an escalation of political protest,” Watson said, after reviewing Nuttall’s convictions for mischief, robbery, weapons possession, assault and parole violations throughout Greater Victoria since 1997. Korody has no criminal record.

Most people who commit terrorist acts become involved in social and political movements, but the Canada Day suspects “appear to be two disgruntled Canadians who have read al-Qaida material online and then have decided to take this

Police said the pair were “inspired by al-Qaida ideology,” and neighbours in Surrey reported hearing Nuttall shouting about jihad on the phone.

“Likely very early on, these people were operating in online networks and likely triggered the attention of (the Canadian Security Intelligence Service) or perhaps U.S. intelligence networks. From that point on, it appears as though the

Canadian authorities were out in front,” Watson said.

Last May, the federal government released a 2011 review that studied the root causes of radicalization, only to conclude there were few “smoking gun” factors that led people to commit terrorist acts.

“Individuals with psychological conditions (that are often associated with criminal or anti-social activities) do not have the attention span, commitment, or course of action to conceive of and carry out terrorist activity,” concluded the authors of Radicalization in the National Economic Climate.

But it appears Nuttall and Korody, both welfare recipients with methadone prescriptions, were focused strongly enough on their task to warrant the attention of the RCMP’s national anti-terrorism squad.

The pair are charged with making or possessing an explosive device, conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, and knowingly facilitating terrorist activity. Their next court appearance is July 8 in Surrey. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Strawberries in the park on Sunday Kyle Wells

Saanich Sunfest

News staff

For 47 years, residents from Saanich and beyond have been converging on the shores of Beaver Lake Park to enjoy the splendour of nature.

This year is no exception, with the popular Strawberry Festival taking place this Sunday (July 7) from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“The origin of the event was to highlight the agricultural part of Saanich, which obviously has changed over the last 47 years,” said Rob Phillips, Saanich’s community events co-ordinator. “The feel of the event has always been a family picnic by the beach. That’s essentially what we’ve tried to maintain.”

Along with the traditional picnic, new events have been added over the years, expanding the festival’s scope and popularity.

A music stage will feature local bands Cookeilidh, The Shorty Parker Band and Commodores Big Band throughout the day, and groups like the Maritime Museum pirate school will be on hand.

“It’s kind of grown and grown and grown to add all these other

The centrepiece of the event continues to be the strawberries and ice cream, both produced locally. Thirty buckets of strawberries come from Mitchell Bros. Farm in Central Saanich, and ice cream,

585 litres, is from Island Farms.

All this amounts to 3,500 servings in one hour dished out by 30 volunteers, “scooping and serving as fast as we possibly can,” Phillips said. Strawberries and ice cream will be served at 2 p.m.

Cedar Hill clay court decision won’t come till fall Saanich mayor suggests more public consultation needed from tennis society Kyle Slavin News staff

Plans to build a private eight-court clay tennis facility behind the Cedar Hill Recreation Centre won’t come before Saanich

council until the fall at the earliest.

Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard said the proposal is too contentious to come before council in the summer months, when many residents are out of town.

“If (the tennis proponents) are carrying on as planned, it will come to a committee of the whole in the fall,” he said.

But the mayor acknowledged that there’s a lot of opposition to the plan from the community, and the Cedar Hill Clay Court Tennis Society may want to better engage the public over these next couple months.

“The community associations have made it clear they haven’t been happy with consultations at this point, and proponents know they’ll encounter that at committee of the whole,” Leonard said.

“This council’s always put a pretty high value on consultation. There’s a certain risk if they do come to committee of the whole with so much opposition.”

In late May, John Miller, president of the tennis society, fielded a lot of angry questions at a meeting looking at the tennis court proposal.

Neighbours argue there’s nothing that indicates a demand or need for more tennis courts in Saanich, nor has the municipality properly gauged what the community wants in terms of future use for the land in question.

Leonard predicts when the proposal does come before council, especially in its current incarnation, the meeting will likely need to be held at a larger venue than council chambers to accommodate an anticipated large crowd. kslavin@saanichnews.com

OUR VIEW

Domestic terrorism a reality for Canada

A

mid the celebrations and fireworks Monday, Victoria suddenly found itself joined to the rarefied club of Canadian cities targeted for a high-profile terrorist attack.

If the suspects had slipped under the radar and detonated pressure-cooker bombs outside the legislature during Canada Day celebrations, it could have been the worst terrorist attack in history on Canadian soil.

Instead, the B.C. RCMP were able to announce two arrests – John Nuttall, a Surrey man (and former Victoria resident) with a significant criminal rap sheet, and Amanda Korody, his partner. RCMP assert both of these Canadian born-and-raised suspects were “self-radicalized” by al-Qaida influence.

Nuttall has been in and out of Victoria’s courts regularly for assaults, robberies, mischief and possessing weapons. In media articles, he was described as a former drug addict and a violent enforcer when it came to collecting drug debts. He’s also described as a recent convert to Islam.

Whether this pair tried to copycat the pressurecooker Boston bombings, were angry antigovernment types, or were interested in promoting an Islamic caliphate in line with al-Qaida goals (or none of the above), the fact their alleged plot was identified, infiltrated and hijacked by RCMP agents is a testament to why Canada needs intelligence agencies.

Organizations like the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), which tipped off the provincial RCMP to the plot, and RCMP antiterrorism departments, almost always operate behind the scenes to ferret out domestic terrorism.

It’s hard to know how many credible terror plots have been halted in Canada. Beyond oil pipeline bombings in the past, police and intelligence agencies have quashed an alleged plot to blow up a Via passenger train between Toronto and New York by two foreign men who supposedly received guidance from al-Qaida agents; and the so-called “Toronto 18,” (11 were convicted) a group of young Muslim men who plotted to blow up targets across southern Ontario with fertilizer bombs.

The foiled Victoria bombing can be seen as a wake-up call to Canadians that terrorism is a reality in this country, and as analysts have predicted, attacks on civilians are not an “if” but a “when.”

This is also an opportunity for a national conversation on the bounds of domestic surveillance – what will people tolerate to ensure agencies have the resources to keep Canadians safe?

From offices in Fort Victoria, colonial administrators orchestrated the spread of smallpox in indigenous communities, killing as much as 90 per cent of the population in some areas, as told by Tom Swanky in The True Story of Canada’s “War” of Extermination on the Pacific.

Historian Chris Arnett also notes that Fort Victoria housed the ships which bombarded indigenous villages under the guise of justice when warriors fought back against encroachment by settlers. The brutal process of colonization continues today as we celebrate the confederation of a nation on stolen land.

Today, the Harper Conservatives and B.C. Liberals have failed to bring out that ‘O Canada’ feeling in many of us. Canada is cut up and tied down as pipelines creep across the West and civil disobedience is increasingly met by mass arrests and the suspension of basic rights.

I am proud of some things – I am proud that many Canadians support civil rights and the ongoing struggles of indigenous peoples. I am proud that alternative stories are being told alongside those which romanticize our history and minimize our flaws.

As beer-commercial patriotism slowly gives way to honesty and self-awareness, I am proud that Canadians may soon have something worth celebrating.

LETTERS

Letters to the Editor

Beacon Hill traffic closures mainly given the thumbs up I am very pleased with the changes the City of Victoria parks department has made.

There are fewer cars chasing ducks and pedestrians now.

I see seniors walking hand in hand without having to be cautious and children – whole school classes of them – enjoying this peaceful park setting.

Even the animals: squirrels, ducks, crows and peacocks, seem more trusting and relaxed.

Most bicyclists are apparently taking care of pedestrians and animals and not racing through the park.

I think this is a very positive change that should be made permanent for the pleasure of all of us. Cars that are driven into the park by people who want to enjoy the peaceful

environment should be directed to the parking places provided, or the toilets and then guided out via the shortest way possible.

However, this jewel in our community should not be available as a short cut for those in a hurry.

Thank you, Victoria parks department.

Horst Hees Victoria My husband and I are so delighted with what has been done. Please keep the park more cyclist and pedestrian friendly.

changes in the park.

I am convinced that the changes are not conducive to the general public accessing the park for leisure activities.

Unless you are very agile, the distances between the corners of the park require more vehicle access. Unless you want to spend a day exploring the park, the current access is totally inappropriate.

Previous road routes may have served as through-access for taxis and other vehicles, so why not put in speed bumps to reduce the speed?

Making the park more accessible by the motoring traffic means more access to various portions of the park by the general public.

myVictoria This week’s online poll

Do you think terrorists see Victoria as a prime target?

Yes, we should visibly beef up everyday security No, I see no reason to add to exisiting security

Who’s affected the most by sewage treatment plant?

What is the effect on Esquimalt if the sewage plant is built at McLoughlin Point?

It is a small piece of land behind DND with no public access. It is almost unusable except for this purpose.

How is the building of the plant at this point going to affect the City of Victoria? It will be located at the entrance of Victoria harbour – a nice first impression.

The prevailing winds from the southwest will also blow any odours toward the provincial capital.

The inhabitants of high rises in James Bay and along the Songhees will get the best view overlooking this monument.

It may be wise for the council of Victoria to review the map to see who is the most affected.

Let commissionaires patrol our city’s run-down buildings Re: Derelict buildings a sad sign (Simon Natrass, June 28) I do not accept that there is nothing city bylaw inspectors can do with these buildings.

I think the wrong people are in charge of monitoring them.

There are too many parking commissionaires downtown and I have watched some of them spend a few minutes on a car measuring the distance to the curb and sighting whether the bumper goes past the line of the meter to see if there is any way they can give out a ticket.

If they change the name of the department to parking and derelict buildings, the owners will soon be standing in line at city hall to get a permit to fix their buildings.

BLUE BRIDGE gets beachy

B

lue Bridge Repertory Theatre is bringing Brooklyn to the McPherson stage with its production of Neil Simon’s Brighton Beach Memoirs.

Twenty-seven year old Amitai Marmorstein, a UVic Phoenix Theatre grad who grew up on Salt Spring Island, stars as 15-year-old Eugene Morris Jerome, the character which Simon’s semi-autobiographical tale is centred around.

“He’s sort of the nucleus that all the family’s problems revolve around,” says Marmorstein, who Victoria audiences might recognize from Atomic Vaudeville’s Legoland. “Eugene also narrates the story and talks directly to the audience. I’m their way into the story.”

Brighton Beach Memoirs is set in Brooklyn in 1937, but Marmorstein says it was no problem connecting to a character from another time.

“The easy part being the young man is that he’s oblivious to world events. He’s more concerned with making the New York Yankees ... so in a weird way it’s timeless.”

Eugene is also “hot under the collar” for his older cousin, who recently moved into his family home with her mother and younger sister. “And it’s not just the costume,” Marmorstein jokes, tugging on his sweater vest on a blistering-hot summer day in Victoria.

Marmorstein was a student of Blue Bridge’s artistic director Brian Richmond at UVic’s Phoenix Theatre. He graduated in 2007 before moving to Vancouver to work.

“Ever since [Blue Bridge’s] conception, I was impressed by it, even as a concept,” says Marmorstein. “There’s so much emerging talent in Victoria with CCPA (The Canadian College of Performing Arts) and UVic, it’s so great to have opportunities like this so young performers don’t have to leave Victoria.”

Marmorstein played the role of Eugene last spring in Theatre North West’s production in Prince George after being turned on to the play by Legoland creator Jacob Richmond, Brian’s son.

“I was complaining that I needed a monologue for an audition and Jacob suggested I read Brighton Beach Memoirs,” he says. Although he didn’t end up using it for his audition, it sparked a

P

art of the Galloping Goose trail will be restored to its former glory as Theatre SKAM’s fifth annual Bike Ride takes over a four-kilometre stretch for its annual outdoor festival of live performance.

Crow-Matic Theatre, made up of Slim Sandy and Willa Mae, will be performing Waiting for a Train, a collection of old-timey railroad country songs live at Cecelia Ravine Park for the duration of the festival, running July 6-7, and 13-14. Cecelia Ravine Park, also known as The Hub, will function as the box office, live entertainment stage, meeting place, bike decorating area and refreshment station. Groups of 12 audience members on bicycles will depart from The Hub, leaving on short tours, viewing four 10-minute shows, each one a short distance apart along the Galloping Goose. The audience will cycle from one show to another.

“If audience members arrive before 3:30 p.m., they can take in all four tours in one day,” says Matthew Payne, Theatre SKAM’s artistic producer.

Two day passes are also available for those who want to spread the action out over two afternoons rather than one.

This year’s festival offers 17 performance groups, ranging in experience and genre, from across Victoria and beyond. For the first time, Theatre SKAM opened up submissions to companies from outside Victoria — and they got an overwhelming response, says Payne.

“There were at least half a dozen submissions from Vancouver alone,” says Payne, adding it was tough to narrow it down to only two companies (Universal Limited and The Noisy Neighbours). Bike Ride also welcomes Shakespearean rapper duo We R Here with What Noise is This from Toronto and Mead Hall Productions from Saskatoon with A Show (For Now) (with commissioning support from Persephone Theatre).

Local offerings include One-Man Slam by performance poet Jeremy Loveday, MyCeliUmbrella by SNAFU Dance Theatre, Harvey and Antonia Bug Out by Gotta Getta Gimmick, The Clan Resilience: Water under the Bridge by Impulse Theatre, Olio and Opus, a tale of two giant puppets by Théâtre de Marionnette Géantes and many more.

Genres range from storytelling to drama, comedy, improv, dance and other mixed genre performances, written, directed and acted by professional theatre companies.

BIKE RIDE

MARIONNETTE GÉANTES - Olio and Opus are two giant puppets and the stars of Théâtre de Marionnette Géantes’ show, one of 17 in this year’s Bike Ride outdoor festival of live performance by Theatre SKAM. Bike Ride takes place on the Galloping Goose trail July 6-7 and 13-14.

With 12 shows on the trail and four at The Hub, there will be no shortage of entertainment to be found at Bike Ride. (One company is performing the first weekend and not the second, and visa versa).

Advance tickets are for sale until July 5 at ticketrocket. org for $15 (that’s less than a buck a show!) or $20 on site. Two day passes are $25. Children under 12 are free.

Theatre SKAM has a few bikes available to borrow and Selkirk Station will be on hand at The Hub to rent bicycles to those without. Those interested in volunteering or loaning extra bicycles can contact Theatre SKAM at info@ skam.ca. skam.ca/bike-ride

COnTinUing

★★★½ BEFORE MIDNIGHT -(Odeon) Richard Linklater’s third installment of the charming – and chatty – love-denied story of Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy) has lots of surprises … not least of which is that the star-crossed lovers have finally hooked up. Between the atmospheric Greek locale and the well-crafted dialogue this is a grand cine-treat for those already bored with the summer’s superhero blockbusters.

THE CROODS -(Caprice) A prehistoric family taking an unexpected “road trip” into a magical land is the plot of this whimsical animated charmer (which has been getting great reviews). With the vocal talents of Emma Stone, Nicolas Cage, and Ryan Reynolds.

EPIC -(Caprice) In this animated family adventure a teenage girl is magically transported to a deep forest setting where she bands together with a wacky crew of critters to help battle a terrifyingly dark force that is threatening their world . . . and ours.

Note: moves from the Westshore to the Caprice on Fri. ★★½ FAST & FURIOUS 6 -(Caprice) The high-octane series continues, with ever-wilder stunts.

In this outing Dom’s crew is asked to take down an ex-Special Ops soldier who has morphed into a supercriminal specializing in vehicular warfare. Starring Dwayne Johnson, Vin Diesel, and Paul Walker. ★★½ THE GREAT GATSBY -(Empire 6) Baz Luhrman (Moulin Rouge) directs a lavish, over-the-top but decidedly uninvolving screen version of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s iconic Jazz Age novel about a glamorous and mysterious millionaire on Long Island.

Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, and Carey Mulligan.

THE HANGOVER PART III -(Caprice) All those bad boys from the Wolfpack are reunited for a final return to Vegas.

As if anything could go wrong. With Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and Zach Galifianakis. By all accounts, this one is well worth avoiding. ★★½ THE HEAT -(Odeon/SilverCity/ Westshore) 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 INTERNSHIP -(Caprice) Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson – whose bromantic charm is running thin – play two salesmen whose careers are trashed by the digital age. Suddenly, they find themselves at Google headquarters competing with tech-savvy 20-somethings for a couple of highly-prized internships.

A promising premise goes nowhere thanks to a clichéd plot and overwritten scenes. ★★★ IRON MAN 3 -(Caprice) An emotionally unbalanced Iron Man (Robert Downey) goes up against the terrifying Mandarin (Ben Kingsley), one of the more intriguing megalomaniacs of recent years.

Despite being a step down from the original – and a bit long-winded and bombastic – this is an imaginative, humorous and fast-paced thrill ride.

With Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle and Guy Pearce.

JATT & JULIET 2 -(Empire 6) There’s not much info on this romantic comedy except to note that it is in Hindi. ★★½ MAN OF STEEL -(Empire 6/ SilverCity/Westshore) Zack Snyder (The Watchmen, 300) helms this occasionally interesting but mostly

Romancing The Bard

J

oss Wheedon has Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Toy Story as early credits, and recently earned $1.5 billion at the box office for The Avengers. this versatile and unpredictable director’s latest trick was to turn his own home into the major set for a no-budget, black-and-white version of shakespeare’s dark-tinged romantic comedy Much Ado About Nothing. set in the present day but retaining shakespeare’s original dialogue, this is an engagingly funny and charming modernization of the bard.

At the core of the film are two couples with different notions of love. beatrice and benedick are very much characters out of screwball comedy: they constantly attack each other with scathing wit such that they

are clearly destined to fall in love (a prospect made all the more droll because they share a ripe disdain for the trappings of marriage).

Much more traditional is the romance between Hero (beatrice’s tender-hearted cousin) and Claudio, her decent and adoring suitor who is set to marry her on the morrow.

All this wooing is taking place at the estate of the princely Don Pedro, whose bastard brother has just shown up, full of hatred and conniving schemes. And so the plot rolls along, with various people in the house merrily conspiring to light the spark of love between beatrice and benedick, at the same time as the black-hearted brother sets out to wreck the upcoming marriage by falsely portraying Hero as unchaste.

Taking out the trash A

s President obama reels from one scandal to the next, it’s amusing to see real life echoed by the second (!) movie in six months involving a fictional and fantastical terrorist assault on the White House. (Just a couple more of these and they’ll have enough for their very own festival.) In the newest version, White House Down features a group of paramilitary thugs who, armed with insider knowledge and automatic weapons, mow down a few dozen guards and soldiers while taking a tour group hostage, all part of a master plan to steal a fortune from the treasury. Plus there’s a highly placed traitor who may want to launch a few nuclear weapons just for fun.

Unbeknownst to them, a member of the tour group, Cale (Channing tatum), is a combat veteran who had just been interviewed for a job on the President’s security detail. And since his 13-year-old daughter is one of those taken hostage, you can bet that Cale, after improbably breaking free,

THE LONE RANGER -(Odeon/ SilverCity/Westshore) The classic western TV show from the 1950s that featured a masked lawman and his Native American sidekick gets what is undoubtedly an over-the-top treatment from director Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean). Starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer.

Started Wed. DESPICABLE ME 2 -(Odeon/ SilverCity/Westshore/Empire Uni 4) The 2010 original, about a loathsome criminal mastermind who was reformed by the love of three young orphan girls, was a goofy delight. Will lightning strike twice? With the vocal talents of Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, and Russell Brand. Started Wed. THE EAST -(Odeon) Interesting moral complexities are explored when a female undercover operative infiltrates a violent anarchist group that attacks evil corporations … and she slowly finds herself becoming attracted to the group’s point of view.

Starring Ellen Page, Brit Marling, Alexander Skarsgard. Starts Fri..

bombastic reboot of the series about the original caped superhero. Starring Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, and Michael Shannon, who is brilliant as the villainous General Zod. MONSTERS UNIVERSITY -(Empire 6/SilverCity/Empire Uni 4/Westshore) 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. ★★★½ MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING -(Odeon) Talented director Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Avengers) takes on the Bard with a modern-day retelling of Shakespeare’s classic comedy about two pairs of lovers with very different ideas about life and love. This is a sharp, funny and engaging bit of filmmaking. See review. ★★ NOW YOU SEE ME -(Caprice) The FBI and Interpol combine forces to battle a clever crew of Las Vegas illusionists who seem to be robbing banks . . . while simultaneously performing for a casino audience.

Despite a great cast that includes Morgan Freeman, Mark Ruffalo, and Jesse Eisenberg, this is a flabby caper film with little magic to it. ★★½ OBLIVION -(Roxy, 7:00) Tom Cruise stars in a visually stylish but rather dull and derivative sci-fi thriller about a man who returns to a ruined Earth to extract its remaining resources when strange things start to happen and he begins to question his mission and himself. Note: no show on Mon., July 8. ★★★ THIS IS THE END -(Odeon/ SilverCity) 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). ★★★ WORLD WAR Z -(Empire 6, SilverCity, Empire Uni 4, Westshore) 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.

weekend there is much to like about this Much. All those upstart American actors do a fine job speaking shakespearean blank verse, thereby making it easy to accept all the men wearing suits and ties rather than doublets and hose. the black and white cinematography adds a timeless feeling, and much of the humour is presented with an appropriately lowbrow panache. Methinks that the bard would have loved this film.

Rating: ★★★½

is ready to do whatever it takes to save perky little emily. oh, and there’s a little matter of the President (Jamie Foxx), who has been sort-of rescued

by Cale, with the two men running around the White House as they keep eluding capture while blasting the occasional bad guy. this frothy, fast-paced actioner is directed by Roland emmerich, who specializes in over-the-top epics like Godzilla and The Day After Tomorrow (and who blew up the White House once before in 1996’s Independence Day). Despite having a great cast that includes Maggie Gyllenhaal, James Woods, and Richard Jenkins, Down refuses to take anything seriously. the plot, pure b-movie hokum from the start, eventually descends to jaw-dropping depths of preposterousness in the movie’s last half hour. In other words, leave your brain at the door because cinema’s silly season is officially upon us!

Rating: ★★ (White House Down continues at the Empire 6, SilverCity, Westshore, and Empire Uni 4).

Pearks hosts bike program for kids with disabilities Kids with special needs will have the chance to learn how to ride a bike, thanks to the iCan Ride program being brought to Victoria.

The Vancouver Island Health Authority and the Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island are sponsoring the fiveday camp that uses a specialized bike for kids with cognitive or mobility impairments.

The camp runs from July 8 to 12 at Pearkes arena in Saanich and will offer bike training to about 40 kids.

The specialized bike has a roller for a back wheel to provide stability, and which is gradually reduced in width as the child gains balance and confidence. iCan Bike says the vast majority of people with autism or Down syndrome won’t learn to independently ride a two wheeled bike, which is the driving motivation behind the organization.

The Children’s Health Foundation has donated $13,000 toward the camp, and is fundraising to bring the camp back to Victoria next year.

Widespread in the U.S., Victoria is the only Canadian location outside of Ontario offering

the program.

To donate toward iCan Bike, see childrenshealthvi.org.

UVic Vikes enter 16 into Track Classic Travis Paterson News staff

Standing on Ship Point, Olympic shot putter Dylan Armstrong took a minute to explain the basic elements of his throwing techniques using a honeydew on Tuesday.

It was part of a preview of tonight’s Victoria International Track Classic, 6 p.m. at UVic’s Centennial Stadium.

Needless to say, the melons turned to a pulpy mess after they landed, as Armstrong pitched them about 15 metres in distance and 10 metres high.

“It’s a lot lighter than I thought, I have to take it easy not to hurt myself,” said the Kamloops resident.

Armstrong is in line to receive the 2008 Beijing Games bronze medal due to the recently announced lifetime ban of Belarus thrower Andrei Mikhnevich for doping.

Armstrong is one of many elite track and field athletes attending the Victoria Track Classic, the final stop of the National Track League.

Travis Paterson/News staff

Olympian Dylan Armstrong demonstrates his technique with a honeydew at Ship Point on Tuesday for the Victoria Track Classic.

“I love coming to Victoria, it’s a great place and great event,” Armstrong said. “There’s not much

money in this so I have to hit as many events as I can.”

There are few track and field ath-

letes as busy as Armstrong, as he departed Tuesday for the Diamond League event in Lausanne, Switzerland, on Thursday. He’ll rely on the time difference to make it back to Victoria for tonight’s Track Classic.

“He just rolls with the punches,” said race co-organizer Keith Butler.

“Not every track and field athlete can spend as much time on the plane, and sleep on the plane as easily as he does.” Armstrong trains with Canada’s throwing program in Kamloops under coach Dr. Anatoliy Bodnarchuk, and which includs upand-coming athletes Adam Keenan (hammer) and Mason Kereszti (javelin), both from Lambrick Park secondary school.

Keenan and Kerestzi will be competing tonight, part of a strong local contingent. Among them are up-andcoming track star Rachel Francois, one of 16 UVic Vikes competing.

Francois is looking to run her personal best in the 800-metre for the third-straight year at the Track Classic.

“This track is good luck for me,” she said.

Hesjedal keeping safe on Tour Ryder Hesjedal looking to avoid repeat exit from Tour Travis Paterson News staff

Ryder Hesjedal “flying under the radar” at this year’s Tour de France couldn’t be a better scenario for the Victoria cyclist.

The Belmont secondary graduate and 2012 Giro d’Italia winner was one of four Garmin-Sharp riders sitting 17 seconds back of the maillot jaune (yellow jersey), 14th overall after cruising in at 103rd in the peloton on Stage 5 in Marseille on Wednesday (July 3).

Stage 7 of the Tour finished today, an ideal stretch for roulers, or “rolling hill” cyclists, 205km from Montpellier to Albi.

Stage 7 is as far as Hesjedal made it last year

when a serious crash forced him to withdraw.

So he’s managed to hang among the elites and stay within striking distance of first place despite having already crashed on Stage 1 (June 29) and narrowly avoiding the Stage 5 crash that docked teammate Christian Vande Velde 10 minutes. “(Hesjedal’s) sliding through and staying under the radar and it happens with Ryder a lot. He’s often underrated,” said Seamus McGrath, former Olympic cycling teammate of Hesjedal’s and director of Ryder Hesjedal's Tour de Victoria.

Hesjedal also seems to be avoiding the press so far, which can also be a blessing, McGrath said.

“The yellow jersey guys will say it’s a lot of work off the bike, before and after each stage, so it’s a chance to be more relaxed.”

Of course, a stage win or even a sniff of the yellow jersey, which his highly likely as the Tour hits the Pyrenees on Stage 8 tomorrow, and Hesjedal

Jr. Rocks recover to smash T-men

An early 4-1 deficit did not sit well with the Victoria Jr. Shamrocks as the club responded to clobber the Nanaimo Timbermen 27-17 at Bear Mountain Arena on Saturday.

The Shamrocks (127) wrap up the regular portion of the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League schedule with a home-and-away series against the Port Coquitlam Saints, 5 p.m. Saturday at the Bear, followed by an afternoon in Poco.

Jesse King piled up the points with two goals and 11 assists while Chris Wardle scored five goals and five assists.

The Intermediate A Shamrocks also play their last home regular season game on Saturday, 1:30 p.m. versus the Langley Thunder at the Bear.

The Victoria Shamrocks added speedy, shutdown defender Jon Harnett in a trade with the Coquitlam Adanacs on Tuesday.

The Ads get a 2014 second round pick in the Western Lacrosse Association draft.

Harnett joins his brother Greg, a transition player for the Shamrocks. Jon won the Jr. A Minto Cup against the Jr. Rocks in 2008. The Rocks’ next game is against the Ads in Coquitlam tomorrow (July 6).

Seven baseball Eagles headed to college

Canada earned the Plate trophy (second tier) thanks to five straight wins at the men’s Rugby World Cup Sevens tournament in Moscow.

The Canadians, featuring a core of Victoria players, dropped the opening pool game to eventual RWC Sevens champs New Zealand on Friday (June 28). They then stormed back to defeat USA and Georgia on Saturday and Tonga, Scotland and Samoa on Sunday.

“To be able to say that the only game we lost was to the winners is pleasing,” said Canada’s Sevens coach Geraint John.

Playing for Canada was Oak Bay High grad and former national sevens captain Phil Mack of the UVic Vikes as well as St. Michaels University School grad Mike Fuailefau of the Castaway Wanderers.

The Canadian women made it to the top tier Cup final but lost 29-12 to New Zealand.

The Victoria Royals added another Czech player with the 31st overall pick in Wednesday’s 2013 Canadian Hockey League Import Draft.

Jiri Fronk, a 1994-born forward, has size and skill that impressed general manager Cam Hope.

Fronk is 6-foot-4 and 200 pounds.

Both of the Royals allowed imports are Czech, as Fronk joins goalie Patrick Polivka, selected in last year’s Import Draft.

Weightlifter ranked among nation’s best Travis Paterson News staff

Weightlifter Rachel Siemens is going to stick around.

Siemens, 23, ranked second at the Western Canadian Championships this year, and third at nationals, and is staying in Victoria now that she’s finished her kinesiology undergraduate at UVic. She hopes to represent Canada at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, 2015 Pan Am Games and then the Olympics.

“That’s the plan but it’s just one step at a time,” Siemens said.

“I have a (Victoria) coach, Rob Macklem, who’s been coaching me for two years now. I’ve also started a training business but will try to work as little as possible and train as much as possible to reach my goals.”

As a trainer she can adapt to whatever the customer wants, it doesn’t have to be weightlifting, though she’s qualified to teach more than the basics in weightlifting, fitness and sports performance.

“Training is pretty

demanding. It’s a tough balance without much funding.”

The former CrossFit competitor moved completely into weightlifting this year after competing in both for the past two years.

It paid off as she placed third in the 2013 nationals in the 69-kilograms category.

Siemens competed last weekend in White Rock’s annual Sea Festival Open where she finished second to teen phenom Prabdeep Sanghera. The catch is Siemens didn’t cut weight.

Rather, she competed in the 75-kgs category and matched Sanghera in the clean and jerk at 110-kgs lifted but only managed 83-kgs in the snatch lift to Sanghera’s 90-kgs.

“There aren’t that many weightlifting competitions so I can’t really afford to miss any but I wasn’t going to cut weight.”

Siemens is ranked eighth among Canadian women based on the Sinclair coefficient, a number derived from the size of the athlete and their weightlifting results. sports@vicnews.com
