Sidewalks strike a chord with residents
During play time at Topaz Park, Saanich police dog Zeke waits patiently for Const. Jon Zielinski to give the OK to grab the rubber ball. Last year's winners, Zielinski and Zeke will compete in the national police canine championships this weekend, hosted by the Saanich police. Edward Hill/News staff
Saanich councillor seeks a public, long-term plan for sidewalk building Kyle Slavin News staff
Dean Murdock’s position as a councillor makes him prone to fielding questions from Saanich residents about a variety of hot-button issues. The one question that comes up more than all others? “When is my street getting a sidewalk?” And unless that particular sidewalk is slated to be built that fiscal year, Murdock and his fellow councillors who get similar queries can’t say when it will happen. “The way (sidewalk) prioritization is done at the moment seems to be ad hoc and conducted on an annual basis. None of that is open to the public to view,” Murdock said. “I think we need to have that exposed a little more to show our residents how those decisions are made.” The engineering department uses its pedestrian priority improvement plan (PPIP) to evaluate unsafe pedestrian routes in the municipality. But that’s only part of the equation, Murdock said. The councillor spent the better part of his summer walking sidewalk-less streets in Saanich alongside residents who want improved pedestrian infrastructure. “There’s a lot of places I found where a sidewalk would dramatically improve the walking environment. We’ve got some very busy streets where there’s little more than a gravel road edge for people to walk on – that includes kids on the way to school and seniors on their way to the bus or the store,” Murdock said.

sniffing out the bad guys Top police canine teams face off in Saanich for national competition Edward Hill News staff
In May, two bicycle thieves found themselves hiding in tall grass, along the pitchblack Pat Bay Highway near Elk Lake after Saanich police descended on the area. It was a good hiding spot from flashlights, but no so much from Zeke the
police dog. The five-year-old veteran quickly sniffed out $40,000 worth of stolen gear and the suspects themselves. “Zeke located all the bikes and wetsuits stashed away and continued on the track,” said Saanich dog handler Const. Jon Zielinski. “There were speedy arrests that night.” Zielinski and Zeke are the defending general-duty champions for the Canadian Police Canine Championships, hosted by Saanich police this weekend. More than 30 police dog teams from a dozen police agencies between Victoria and Montreal will be put through the paces in a friendly competition. Seven scenarios emulate what might be
encountered on a typical police shift: general tracking, evidence search, compound search and building search, and obedience, agility and catching a “bad guy” in a bite suit. A separate arm of competition is held for drug and bomb sniffing dogs. Competition Friday and Saturday is closed to the pubic, as the searches are in private buildings and fenced compounds. The event is open to the public Sunday at the University of Victoria’s Centennial Stadium for the obedience, agility and dramatic dog suit take-downs. PlEAsE sEE: Tracking, Page A10

Tour de Rock kickoff Saturday Kyle Slavin
Pain relief, one tooth at a time Saanich dentist on fourth year of offering free emergency dental care Edward Hill
News staff
This year’s 21-member Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team will begin their two-week journey on Saturday, raising money for pediatric cancer research. The team will be sent off in style Saturday morning (Sept. 21), with a community send-off at Admirals Walk in View Royal. “Saturday’s send-off isn’t about sending the riders upIsland, it’s about community and showing support for an important cause that can have a deep impact on communities everywhere on the Island” said Black Press media rider Arnold Lim. Lim and his fellow teammates – police officers, media members and special guests – will cycle nearly 1,100 kilometres from Sept. 21 to Oct. 4 from Port Alice to Victoria. Money raised will go to pediatric cancer research and programs for children living with cancer. Lim says he’s looking forward to Tour, after having spent the last eight months training on the bike and fundraising. “I’m trying to mentally and emotionally prepare myself for what I believe will be the most intense two weeks of my life.” Saturday’s send-off runs from 7 to 9 a.m. in front of the Admirals Walk Coast Capital Savings branch (1499 Admirals Rd.). Visit tourderock.ca for a listing of fundraising events and to read blog posts from the riders.
News staff
Dr. Ross Crapo admits that he launched a free day of dental care four years ago primarily as a marketing tool. But the need was beyond what he imagined, and the most severe day-to-day dental cases didn’t come close to the suffering of Victoria’s homeless and those living in poverty. “I initially got involved with it because of the marketers. They said it would be a good way to market the practice and that’s the reason I started it,” said Crapo (pronounced Cray-po). “Then we had the experience of the first year, and we saw things we don’t normally see. “You get an appreciation for how people are suffering on a daily basis. It’s hard for the rest of us to imagine.” On Saturday, Crapo and Dr. Ngan Huynh are offering the fourth annual Dentistry From The Heart at Crapo’s office in Saanich. In three years Crapo’s team has helped 170 people living with painful cavities and rotten teeth. “We were seeing street people, single moms beaten down from demands on their time and energy with no funds,” he said. “The need is very strong in the community. Once they’re put through they’re so appreciative we’ve helped them. It’s great for them and its a wonderful experience for myself the staff and other doctors.”
William Shepherd/News staff
Saanich dentist Dr. Ross Crapo is offering free emergency dental care on Saturday for people who are suffering from tooth decay and neglect due to poverty or living on the street. Clients at the free dental day tend to be the working poor, single moms and their kids, and those living on the street. About 20 volunteers manage the intake of clients and a triage process to sort the worst cases, often those who are drug addicted. “Because of a dependance on drugs, there’s neglect and dry mouth ... decay tears the teeth apart,” Crapo says. “The nerves
are in play, the abscesses and swelling makes life unbearable.” The number of people treated in a day depends on the severity of the cases. If there’s smooth triage and straightforward procedures, the patient can be out in 15 minutes. Others take an hour of work. “We try to deal with the most severe abscesses and broken teeth. We’re not here for crowns
and dentures. This is emergency dental care,” he said. “There are limits. If someone comes in with all their teeth rotten to the gum, we’ll remove teeth with the active abscesses and not take all the teeth out. One fellow came in last year with all his teeth rotten to the gum. We took out four teeth and he was delighted, over the moon.” Bryce Gibney, who runs the Dentistry from the Heart in Western Canada, said Crapo pioneered the program in B.C. and is its strongest supporter in Canada. The dental surgeon donates $30,000 to $40,000 worth of dentistry and staff time over the day. Thrifty Foods and Red Barn Market donate food for the volunteers. Gibney said that anyone in dental-related pain will be treated that day, and if the problems are too widespread, Crapo will often see the person at a later date. “I’ve seen people with tooth aches for two months with their jaw infected. We get people like that in such distress but we can’t do much that day but get them on antibiotics,” Gibney said. “When the doctor brings the patient back, he will do the work. Dr. Crapo doesn’t finish Dentistry from the Heart until some weeks later.” Crapo noted that his day is an addition to the dental services offered weekly by the Cool Aid Society in downtown Victoria. “The Cool Aid Society does a great job. They are a force for good,” he said. Dentistry From The Heart is Saturday, Sept. 28, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., 4400 Chatterton Way, Suite 206. Call 250-383-3368 for advance scheduling. First come, first served after the first 50 scheduled appointments. See www.dentistryfromtheheart.org.
Greater Victoria school trustee scolded over alleged harassment Don Descoteau News staff
Greater Victoria school district trustee Deborah Nohr has been censured by the board of education for alleged harassment of a senior district staff member. The move, announced in a statement by board chair Peg Orcherton at a meeting Monday night, follows an independent
investigation into the matter by Vancouver lawyer Judith Anderson. Orcherton confirmed Wednesday the decision to publicly censure Nohr was made after trustees reviewed Anderson’s findings at a special meeting on Sept. 12. Censures have rarely been used by school boards in B.C. and Orcherton said it’s the first time such action has been taken in her 11 years on the Greater Victoria board.
In Support of the Mustard Seed
The statement she read Monday listed allegations against Nohr as: - Failing to respect the will of the majority of the board; - Sending an email of which the timing, content and distribution was offensive and derogatory to a senior staff member; - Communicating directly with an agency in a manner that could have led to sanctions and penalties on the school district;

Royal Athletic Park concert pumps noise into Saanich Rifflandia noise within limits, says City of Victoria Daniel Palmer News staff
Despite a flurry of noise complaints last weekend, City of Victoria officials say a four-day music festival rocked well within its sound limits. Rifflandia wrapped up Sunday afternoon in Royal Athletic Park, while outdoor night stages at Phillips Brewery on Government Street and Market Square were open Thursday through Saturday. “We’re figuring it’s upwards of 75 to 80 (noise) complaints … within our own depart-
we can do from an enforcement standpoint given that these events were taking place outside the jurisdiction.” Decibel monitoring took place every half hour at Royal Athletic Park, while regular monitoring was completed in Fernwood, Jubilee and North Park where complaints have been reported in past years, Friars said. “We did have four spikes in the park during the weekend for a short period of time. Those were brought to the attention of the organizer and they brought it down right away,” she said. Friars said Atomique Productions, which produces Rifflandia, is “a great group of peo-
ment and through Victoria Police Department,” said Kate Friars, city director of parks, and recreation. “It’s not a normal weekend for us, but we feel the operators operated within their decibel (limit).” Saanich police were “inundated” with noise complaints over the weekend from both Saanich and Oak Bay residents, said Sgt. Steve Eassie. Callers were referred to Victoria’s 24-hour bylaw enforcement line. “One lady even said her windows were shaking,” Eassie said. “There’s very little

Bowen Osoko, VicPD spokesman, said officers were busy both at Rifflandia and several outdoor events in Esquimalt, but there were no major incidents to report. “We had a large presence (at Rifflandia),” Osoko said. “We went early and often, and as a result, there were no problems that escalated.” dpalmer@vicnews.com

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

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

LETTERS Columnist’s views on CUPE rile reader Re: Back to school labour woes (B.C. Views, Sept. 4) What’s with Tom Fletcher’s animosity towards public education? Did he serve one too many detentions as a lad? Has he forgotten the bumper sticker, “If you can read this, thank a teacher”? Not content to trash teachers, he’s now moved on to the rest of the school staff, twisting facts to suit his purposes. Here are three of the more egregious examples: (1) “Only two provincial employee groups have yet to do this [move to co-operative gains]: school support staff and teachers.” The groups have nothing to offer; but the school boards have had to repeatedly cut back district budgets. (2) “CUPE … has a sophisticated media campaign
to generate public sympathy …” This is paid for out of members’ dues; the government toots its own horn with taxpayers’ dollars. (3) Fletcher looks at CUPE benefits “on behalf of those selfemployed taxpayers who have no paid holidays, no employer pension or benefits …” Selfemployed people are that way by their own choice! And some of them do very well, financially. It must be wonderful to sit at one’s computer and trash people for a living. If Mr. Fletcher is upset about CUPE contract provisions, he must be incensed about Liberal appointees’ bonuses. Lorraine Lindsay Saanich
Smart meter opt-out leaves little choice I’m getting a little confused with B.C. Hydro. Months ago I phoned them and said I do not
want the meter changed and gave them my address in Esquimalt. I also told them that my husband and I have a house in Saanich. It’s a rental property and we didn’t want the meter changed on that one, either. The person on the line told me, “It’s up to the person that lives in the house, not you.” When I asked why, telling them that I own the house, they said, “That doesn’t matter, we don’t know if you really own the house in Saanich.” Last Friday (Sept. 13) a form came to our house in Esquimalt addressed to my father, who has not lived here for years and has given me permission to read his mail. Both his name and mine are on the B.C. Hydro bill and I legally own half the house. When I phoned B.C. Hydro again I was told they would not send me a form (requesting no smart meter) since I was not on the account, and asked me to
send the form to my father and have him sign and return it. I was also asked to get my father to phone B.C. Hydro so my name could be put on the account. That did not make sense, especially since when I get the bill in the mail my name is on it. Right now, it looks like I have no say in any of my homes. We know our renters cannot afford to pay more for their hydro and we cannot afford to pay more, so we feel we are forced to give in. Sandra Dixon, Keith McGregor Esquimalt
Hydro letter causes confusion I received my letter from B.C. Hydro laying out my options regarding smart meters. One of the last lines of the letter is, “Costs will be reviewed by the B.C. Utilities Commission.”

The B.C. Utilities Commission has a record of often adjusting the fees proposed by B.C. Hydro. The costs proposed by B.C. Hydro appear to be ridiculously high – I use approximately $30 worth of power in a two-month billing period during the summer, about $15 a month. So B.C. Hydro intends to charge me $35 to determine I owe them $15? There is a strong possibility the Utility Commission will determine the proposed B.C. Hydro fee increases are inappropriate and will order them to be lowered. If the rates may be other than the B.C. Hydro letter proposes, I can not be considered fully informed and am at a considerable disadvantage if I sign their opt-out card. I do not know what the fees will be after the B.C. Utilities Commission reviews them. Norm Ryder Saanichton
This week’s online poll Was Adrian Dix right to step down as leader of the B.C. NDP? Yes, the party has a better chance of winning the 2017 provincial election with a different leader at the helm No, staying on would have shown solid leadership Possibly, but the party still needs to have a good hard look at itself between now and the next election

Last week’s question: Will you sign the Sensible B.C. petition seeking a referendum on decriminalizing marijuana? • Yes, those caught with marijuana shouldn’t be treated like criminals (50%) • No, the current laws around all these elements should remain (43%) • Possibly, but I believe any move to decriminalize marijuana needs more discussion first (7%) – visit vicnews.com to vote

family play
in your hood neighbour Parents know if you take your child to the park they will play. If there are other children there, the children will often end up playing together and the parents watch. Why does this happen? It may surprise adults to find out the reason that many children prefer to play with other children is due to the fact that their parent(s) seemed to have forgotten how to play. Really get down and play. To prove their point, when was the last time you were rolling down a grassy hill or were “it” in a game of tag? Saanich Recreation is offering a new free program in local playgrounds to help connect families with the joy of playing together. You will play many of the games and activities kids play at camp. Let’s get together and have some laughs, fun and remind our kids we can still play. Dress for the weather and bring your enthusiasm. For more information on the Park Pursuits program check out the family section in the Saanich Active Living Guide at www.saanichrec.ca or contact Jason Jones at 250-475-5427 or email jason.jones@saanich.ca.

Shorter 100-km and 50-km routes are also available. “We do tend to get a lot of lastminute registrations,” says organizer Seamus McGrath. “We hit 1,750 last year, but it’s hard to say at this point. If it pours rain, we might stay at that. If it’s sunny, we could hit 2,000.” Most municipalities in Greater Victoria will experience rolling road closures Sunday.

★★★★★ WiZard oF oZ, 3d -(SilverCity) Dorothy and her ruby slippers are back, as one of the most magical movies of all times gets a rerelease in 3D! priSonerS -(Empire 6/SilverCity/ Empire Uni 4) Quebec director Denis Villeneuve (Incendies) has been getting through-the-roof praise for this thriller about two kidnapped girls and the dad who will do anything to get them back. The superb cast includes Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Viola Davis, Terrence Howard, and Melissa Leo. SalinGer -(Odeon) J.D. Salinger, the reclusive literary icon who gave us Catcher in the Rye, surrenders a few of his secrets in this intriguing biopic and memoir with contributions from such cinematic luminaries as Philip Seymour Hoffman, Edward Norton, John Cusack, Tom Wolfe, and Gore Vidal. the art oF the Steal -(Empire Uni 4) Kurt Russell plays a third-tier motorcycle daredevil and part-time thief who comes up with the idea to steal one of the most valuable books in the world. With Jay Baruchel, Terence Stamp, and Matt Dillon. Battle oF the year -(SilverCity) Here comes another of those flashy “dance off” movies, this one featuring dance teams from around the world. ★★★ you’re neXt -(Roxy, 7 pm) Gore fans should definitely check out this clever and darkly funny home-invasion splatterfest about a gang of maniacs that attacks a family . . . only to discover that someone in the house is even better at killing than they are. ★★★ 2 GunS -(Caprice) Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg play rival Drug Enforcement agents who think they are investigating each
other but have actually been set up by the mob . . . and now have to shoot their way out of a world of trouble. Lots of fun!
cONtINuINg
20 Feet From Stardom -(Odeon) The lives of talented but nearly anonymous back-up singers in some of the biggest bands in the world are explored in a marvellous documentary that includes archival footage and interviews. Featuring Darlene Love, Merry Clayton ... and slightly more famous performers like David Bowie, Sheryl Crow, Mick Jagger, and Ray Charles. Anyone who enjoys Motown and R&B will love this ravishing showcase of fullthrottle singing. ★★★★ Blue JaSmine -(Odeon) Cate Blanchett is headed for an Oscar nomination for her role as an emotionally fragile woman struggling to recover after her life as a glamorous socialite implodes. Complete with a great cast, this is one of Woody Allen’s best films. Ever. chennai eXpreSS -(Empire 6) South India is the setting for this exuberant, Bollywood-style actioncomedy starring Shah Rukh Khan. ★★½ cloSed circuit - (Empire 6) Eric Bana stars in a timely albeit disappointingly tepid British political thriller about a lawyer asked to represent a man accused of a terrorist bombing. When he looks a little too deeply into the case, Britain’s security apparatus starts to take a threatening interest in his activities. the croodS - (Caprice) A prehistoric family taking an unexpected “road trip” into a magical land is the plot of this whimsical animated charmer (which has been getting great reviews). With the vocal talents of Emma Stone, Nicolas Cage, and Ryan Reynolds. ★★½ deSpicaBle me 2 (Westshore) The 2010 original, about a loathsome criminal mastermind who was reformed by the love of three young orphan girls, was a goofy delight. The sequel, although still clever, is much more scattershot, with an unimaginative plot and unwelcome dashes of mean spiritedness. Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, and Russell Brand supply the voices. ★★½ elySium -(SilverCity) Matt Damon and Jodie Foster star in a futuristic sci-fi thriller where the Earth has become a polluted ghetto and the lucky few get to live in luxury on a floating space station orbiting languidly above. Well, that’s about to change. It’s hard to argue with the politics, but this new film by the writer-director of District 9 is too heavy-handed and cliched to take seriously. the Family -(Odeon/SilverCity/ Westshore/Empire Uni 4) Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer star in a lame and mostly unfunny black comedy about a mob guy who goes into Witness Protection and gets himself and his family relocated to a small town in France. Pfeiffer is pretty good, but overall this is a wreck. Fruitvale Station -(Odeon) There is lots of buzz around this truthbased reenactment of the turbulent last day of a young black man in 2008. inSidiouS: chapter 2 -(Empire 6/SilverCity/Westshore) The poor old Lambert family once again finds themselves doing battle with evil entities from the darkest corners of the spirit world in this nightmarish but rather jumbled sequel. With Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, and Barbara Hershey. kick-aSS 2 -(Caprice) Expect more hard-edged laughs and jokey violence in this sequel to the big hit about a teenage girl (Chloe Grace Moretz) who was trained as a vigilante by her father. The costars include Jim Carrey, Morris Chestnut, and John Leguizamo. lee danielS’ the Butler -(Odeon/Empire Uni 4) Forest Whitaker heads up an amazing cast in a drama about a black butler at the White House whose long tenure there overlapped with many powerful domestic and international political events. Costarring Vanessa Redgrave, Oprah Winfrey, David Oyelowo, Terrence Howard, James Marsden, Jane Fonda and Alan Rickman. ★★½ the heat -(Caprice) In this raucous and sometimes hit-and-miss comedy from Paul Feig (Knocked Up), Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids) play odd-
couple cops who will have to learn to work together if they are to stand a chance of taking down the drug lord who’s their assigned target. ★★ the lone ranGer -(Caprice) More proves to be less, as the classic western TV show from the 1950s that featured a masked lawman and his Native American sidekick gets a predictably bombastic treatment from director Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean). Starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer. monSterS univerSity -(Caprice) In this prequel to the 2001 animated smash about fuzzy plush-toy monsters, we go back to the early days when Sully (John Goodman) and Mike (Billy Crystal) met at university. the mortal inStrumentS: city oF BoneS -(Westshore/ SilverCity) Only the bones were left after the critics universally savaged this derivative, overwrought tale of a young woman who discovers that she has unusual powers as she gets drawn into a battle involving a band of angel-like creatures struggling to squash a demonic threat to the entire world. ★★★ thiS iS the end -(Empire 6) In this truly wacked comedy, stars such as Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel and Jonah Hill play themselves as they party at James Franco’s house -- only to find themselves confronting a terrifying, demon-filled apocalypse. Although a bit oversold and rather slapdash, this is very funny (and very rude). planeS -(Empire 6/SilverCity/ Westshore) The same people who made Cars have taken to the skies with a similar family-friendly animated tale about a crop-dusting plane with dreams of winning a famous aerial race. ★★½ red 2 -(Caprice) Newcomer Anthony Hopkins joins Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, Bruce Willis, and Mary-Louise Parker as they reprise their roles as retired CIA “black ops” agents marked for death by their own agency. Although not as good as the 2010 original, this is entertaining enough, mostly due to the sly dialogue and killer performances. SmurFS 2 -(SilverCity/Westshore) The blue munchkins are back for more pint-sized adventures, this one involving a sorcerer and a diabolical kidnapping. ★★ riddick -(Odeon/SilverCity/ Westshore) Vin Diesel blasts back into outer space for the latest iteration of this gory and terrifying sci-fi series about a fugitive who once again finds himself battling alien predators and bounty hunters who want his head — literally. See review. ★ r.i.p.d. -(Caprice) Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds star in a dismal action comedy that is nothing more than a crass ripoff of Men In Black. Bridges, who plays an “undead cop” who patrols the Earth looking for weird monsters to exterminate, should probably return the Oscar he received for Crazy Heart. turBo -(Caprice) The latest from Dreamworks Animation is a family comedy about an ordinary garden snail who acquires magic powers – and the chance to achieve his dream of winning the Indy 500. With the voices of Ryan Reynolds, Paul Giamatti, Maya Rudolph, and Samuel L. Jackson. ★★½ the World’S end -(Odeon/SilverCity/Westshore) In a disappointing but occasionally funny follow-up from the makers of Shaun of the Dead, five old friends reunite for a pub crawl only to find themselves in a droll sci-fi action-adventure of epic proportions. Starring Simon Pegg. ★★½ We’re the millerS -(Westshore/SilverCity) Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston star in a crass comedy about a longtime pot dealer who hires a stripper and two feral teens to pretend to be his middle class family as cover for when he smuggles a massive load of weed across the border from Mexico to the States. Intermittently quite funny, this is a case of talented performers struggling with a second-rate script. ★★★ World War Z -(Roxy,8:45pm) Countries topple and armies shatter in the face of a zombie pandemic, as a shaggy-haired Brad Pitt tries to save the world. This is an intense and intelligent movie that uses zombies to embody the more plausible horror of a SARS-like threat to the planet. more online at mondaymaG.com/ calendar

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

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

Collagen is the key. Molecular biologists have pinpointed the key structural protein for creating smooth skin, thick strong hair, and strong nails. It’s your body’s beauty protein, collagen. During youth, you have a rich abundance of collagen. In addition, the collagen forms itself in a resilient “tight mesh” matrix. This “ideal” collagen condition prevents wrinkles from forming, gives skin elasticity, helps create thick, beautiful hair and strong nails. But over the years, collagen diminishes.

Starting at age 21, collagen diminishes by 1% per year. By age 30, signs of reduced collagen on skin, hair and nails become visible, not to mention the increase risk of fracture for bones.

Say the words “healthy bones,” and the first word that probably pops up is calcium, but did you know that bones are made up of 30% collagen? Collagen provides strength and flexibility to bones. When collagen diminishes – your risk of fracture increases!

Art auction helps Tour de Rock Don Descoteau News staff
Arnold Lim recalls the days when noted Greater Victoria artist Ted Harrison would come into his restaurant, Korean Gardens, for dinner with his son. The two were fast friends, to the point where Harrison donated a framed print of one of his colourful paintings as a wedding gift to Lim and his wife 10 years ago. While that piece of artwork sadly was destroyed later in a flood, Lim, a Black Press freelancer reporter, has been gifted another Harrison print. This time it’s a donation to help his fundraising efforts as a media rider for the 2013 Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock. “That’s pretty exciting for me,” says Lim, who leaves for Port Alice this weekend with his fellow teammates. “He’s just a really special guy and part of the fabric of the community in Victoria.” The print of “Land and Sea,” a 1989 work byWatch Harrison,for was our donated by a Black Auto Section Press staffer and framed profession-
ally by Prestige Picture Framing Etc., located two doors away from Harrison’s former gallery space on Oak Bay Avenue. Online auction bids for the beautifully finished artwork are being accepted at vicnews. com/contests. Bid deadline is Oct. 4.

We’ll play them (at UVic on Sept. 28 and 29) without most of their starters. Maybe we beat them and get ahead of them in the standings, but they’ll be a different team come CIS nationals, when they get their starters back,” Beecroft said. “We’ll give it our best shot.” Making the CIS nationals requires finishing first or second in the three-team Canada West conference. If not, the Vikes have an automatic berth as the hosts. “It’s what we’re working for,” Kirby said. “We don’t want to rely on the host spot. In 2009 we were a high-calibre team and still had to work hard to earn the spot. And for me, I want to earn my way in for my final year.”
Mack goes pro with Ospreys News staff
Get your wallet out if you want to watch Phil Mack during his upcoming stint playing scrum half for the Ospreys. Mack signed a short-term, four-week contract with the Ospreys of Swansea (Wales) earlier this week after a summer of tremendous success playing scrum half for Canada in the Pacific Nations Cup and RWC qualifying series versus the U.S.A.

The other main event sees current V.I. champion B.J. Laredo of Nanaimo against Eddy Osbourne of Campbell River. “We just want to bring wrestling back here like it used to be,” said co-promoter Brent Laplante (B.J. Laredo). “The idea is to stick to four main towns, Victoria, Port Alberni, Duncan and Nanaimo, with each town getting a show every two months.” Dates are still being settled on for the next show at Velox in midNovember. The Elite Canadian Championship Wrestling promotion used to hold shows in Victoria but there has been little to none in recent years.

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

Jim Munro, owner of Munro’s Books, will celebrate the store’s 50th anniversary Saturday with a variety of literary events. high, vaulted ceiling, adds to the attraction of the store with both tourists and locals alike. It recently landed the store on publisher Harper Collins’ list of “16 Bookstores to See Before You Die.” It might have been just another ill-used former bank, were it not for Munro’s visions of grandeur. He also had an eye for a bargain. His “ridiculously low” offer, made in an environment of sky-high interest rates, was eventually accepted. “This was a 1909 building and it had been hideously modernized with cheap linoleum,” Munro recalls.
The first day they took over, they tore out the false ceiling, revealing a beautiful, high ceiling. The restoration took two months and was later accented with the installation of huge, form-fitted tapestries by Sabiston that create the illusion of colourful windows. On celebrating the store’s 50th year, Walker says, “Jim’s stayed true to his vision that we are a bookstore, first and foremost. Certainly that’s a legacy we want to preserve.” Check out munro books.com/events for a listing of Saturday’s anniversary events. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

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

“Riding in a group setting isn’t the same as just riding on the road. You really have to pay attention to what you are doing,” he said. The 2013 Tour de Rock team began training in March and has trained hard three days a week working on hills, speed and distance training. Originally from Ottawa, training for the Tour has been a way for Mike to explore Greater Victoria and have a chance to see Vancouver Island tip-to-tip. “I’ve never been past Courtenay,” he said. charla@goldstreamgazette.com
