NEWSGAZ E T T EGOLDSTREAMOpen fire ban hits Island-wideCharla HuberNews staff

Metchosin Fire Department banned camp and beach fires until the fall.

“It’s due to the dry conditions and the increasing num-ber of grass and wildfires in the area and we don’t want to be contributing to them,” said fire chief Stephanie Dunlop.

Even with rain predicted this weekend, Dunlop said the ban will remain in effect until fall. “We don’t want to be turning the ban on and off so it will stay on.”

The Metchosin Fire Department will announce when the ban is lifted.

Langford Fire Rescue also announced a fire ban, fol-lowing the lead of B.C.’s Coastal Fire Centre which imple-mented an open fire and campfire ban yesterday for all of Vancouver Island.

The provincial prohibition covers all B.C. parks, Crown and private lands, but does not apply to municipalities that have forest fire prevention bylaws and are serviced by a fire department.

Fines and tickets for violation, or causing a wildfire, can range from $435 to $1 million.

Capital Regional District staff will need the rest of the summer to report back on alternatives to a sewage sludge facility at Hartland landfill after a last-minute vote by directors last week.

As chair Denise Blackwell tried to wrap up a core area management committee meeting July 24, a late push led by Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins resulted in a signifi-cant change to the CRD’s direction.

Solar Colwood hopes to turn a corner with a new, locally developed solar hot water heater set to save money for home-owners.

James Smyth developed the system over two years at Camosun College, where he also teaches the solar renewable program. The design itself isn’t particularly innova-tive, but the modifications are.

Due to the West Coast’s temperate cli-mate Smyth realized he could simplify the system and replace non-freezing heat transfer fluids, such as glycol, with potable water. This means there’s no need for a heat exchanger, an extra pump or the anti-freezing liquid.

“The idea of the system is to reduce the costs without the affecting the perfor-mance,” Smyth said. “This system does as much or more than most other systems on the market, but for about half the price.”

The system was an easy sell for Hilary Mackey and Lawrence Surges, the first homeowners to have the system installed in Colwood. They already made the switch to a ductless split heat pump through the program and say the timing seemed right to add the hot water heater.

“We liked the environmentally friendly aspect,” Surges said. “We’re in our mid- to late fifties so we feel that it’s worthwhile to

make a significant investment up front in order to manage risk in the future by reduc-ing our exposure to rising power rates.”

“We figure we’re good to go for the dura-tion,” Mackey said. “Hopefully we’re here for the whole run. So that’s a lot of savings over time.”

Smyth installed a system at Camosun and

the college was pleased enough with the results to let him use the name The Camo-Sun for the product. Some of the proceeds from the sale of the system also go back to the college.

Smyth assembles the system himself, often on site, allowing him to adjust it to the specifics of the house.

The cost including installation runs in the $5,000 range, compared to the usual $9,000 to $10,000 range for most two-panel sys-tems.

Solar Colwood organizers see the new technology as perhaps the second com-ing for the program, which has seen slow uptake since the initial burst at its incep-tion. People keen to make the switch out of environmental concerns jumped on the program, but uptake has slowed since.

Solar Colwood participant energizer Gle-nys Verhulst believes with the reduced costs of the new system, and some special offers from Solar Colwood, there will be a renewed interest.

“(It’s) a shining example of what the Solar Colwood program set out to do,” Verhulst said, “which was to encourage local, green energy innovation. So by driving demand for solar hot water systems in the commu-nity, it then created conditions … to create this innovative new system.”

With a special grant in place for the sum-mer, homeowners can qualify for grants covering 40 per cent of the cost for the system. Pending federal approval, Solar Col-wood plans to expand its solar hot water heater incentives to include all of Greater Victoria, which includes grants for this sys-tem.

RRU students study for future farmersCharla HuberNews staff

Farming in the present day often means leasing land and hav-ing a second income.

Royal Roads University stu-dents are conducting a report on farming on the West Shore. The master of business administration students, WestShore Chamber of Commerce and the District of Metchosin are working together to look into the future of farming and how to promote sustainabil-ity.

Over the next few months they plan to delve into Metchosin life to uncover successful tips form local farmers.

“We will be looking at the most productive use of land in the community,” said Jeff Townsend. “We are focusing on Metchosin because 85 per cent of farms near rural centres (on the West Shore)

are in Metchosin.”John and Lorraine Buchanan,

who have farmed in Metchosin for 35 years, hope to be included in the study.

“You have to have some secu-rity. Young people can’t really do it from a family point of view,” said John, who worked for 32 years as a registered nurse at Royal Jubilee Hospital.

Metchosin, they say, has unique farming challenges over the rest of Greater Victoria.

“Saanich and Cowichan have good wells for irrigating fields,” said John, explaining wells in Metchosin often don’t have enough water to irrigate more than two-thirds of a field. “We are also windier, colder and dryer.”

The Buchanan’s are sheep and hay farmers and find both work in the rural district on the West Shore.

While the Buchanan’s have already figured out a way for

them to continue farming, they aren’t sure if it’ll be viable for

their children to take over.The Royal Roads University

students Lisa Makar and Jeff Townsend hope to find a way to keep farming alive in Metchosin and encourage young farmers.

“There was enough work to split the baby,” said Jeff Townsend. “I will be collecting present day info and figuring out what exactly Metchosin is and what we have here.”

“I will be looking a bit further afield, and at what business models have been successful,” said Makar, adding she will also be looking more in-depth into grain mills and abattoirs.

The report will be complete in January 2014 with recommenda-tions from both students.

For more information or to be included in the study contact Townsend at [email protected]@goldstreamgazette.com

The fourth annual India Mela, or Fest, comes to Centennial Square Aug. 5 to 11, filling the air with the exotic sights, sounds and flavours of India.

This year the Mela has expanded from two days to a full week of free events and multi-cultural performances celebrating the richness and diversity of India’s arts and culture. More than eight thousand visitors and spectators enjoy the Mela every year but with this year’s expanded Mela, many more are expected to take in everything from traditional to modern Bollywood music, internationally renowned Bhangra dances, fashion, palmistry, the art of henna and more, not to mention mouth-water-ing Indian cuisine prepared with authentic and aromatic spices!

And as Victoria’s premier multicultural event, performers include local First Nations drummers and dancers, internationally renowned Chinese Lotus Dancers, powerful Japanese Taiko Drum-mers, beautiful Polynesian dancers, exotic Mid-dle Eastern dancers – and much more.

Presented by the 35-year-old India Canada Cultural Association, “Mela” means “Fair” in the Punjabi language. “A Mela is an age-old celebration of life in India and it is an opportu-nity to share the richness of Indian arts and cul-ture, create community partnerships and dem-onstrate a healthy way of life,” says association president Paramjit Bhalla.

Here in Victoria, Mela is a way to continue

those traditions, and share and celebrate with the greater Victoria community. “In growing up we had places we could go to see and partici-pate in Melas, where people gathered to learn about one another, share food and enjoy art and music. Now we have those places less and less and they are much needed even here in Victoria,” explains Mr. Sehmi, an Indo-Canadian Elder.

Part of the Mela’s success is its ability to create cultural pride and bridge generations as well as cultures. “I love to go on the decorated stage in my beautiful clothes and show people watching how I have learned to dance. It makes me feel proud and good when they clap and I think that they like what I am sharing with them,” says one young Bhangra performer.

While in the square enjoying the many perfor-mances, be sure to leave time to enjoy delicious Indian treats, lunch or dinner. A full menu of Indian foods, prepared in the authentic way, is available at the colourful food booths, including butter chicken, naan, vegetable curries, rice, pakoras, samosas, papadam, plus barbecued Indian delicacies, chai and sweets.

Browse and learn from the cul-tural kiosks offering Indian arts, clothes, Rajasthani jewellery, henna hand decorations or learn about your future from the ancient art of palm reading.

Various themed performances, from classical

to modern, are offered from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Monday Aug. 5 to Friday, Aug. 9. Two full days of performances, with local and internation-ally known artists and entertainment, are planned Aug. 10 (from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.) and Aug. 11 (from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.).

Bruce Head wants to drink the wine he paid for.The Colwood mechanic purchased two batches

of wine, a white and a red, from Bayley’s Brewhaha U-Brew in Langford two months ago.

When he didn’t receive a call from the store to schedule bottling, and hearing the rumour the store was empty, Head went to check it out. He found the store gutted but for carboys full of what appeared to be wine visible through the window.

“He should have called us a week or two ago to bottle,” said Head, explaining he is out $300. “I’d rather have my wine (than the money returned).”

Head hopes his credit card company will return one of the transactions. The other he paid with cash.

“(The store owner) could have just called and said the store was closing and I would have paid $50 for the carboy and took my wine somewhere else to be bottled,” said Head, who has been a cus-tomer at the store for years.

“This type of business is buyer beware.” Head saw a WestShore Chamber of Commerce

sticker on the door and called to report the clo-sure, but was told Bayley’s Brewhaha hasn’t been a member for about two years.

“The membership has not been renewed and we’ve received calls about the business in the

past,” said Craig Sorochan, chamber manager of communications and community relations. “I think the only thing they can do is take it up in small claims court.”

Head also called the Better Business Bureau, B.C. Liquor Con-trol and Licensing Branch and has spo-ken to other U-brew customers who have reported the closure to the West Shore RCMP.

“We don’t believe this is fraud, it’s just going out of business for what ever reason that may be, “ said Cpl. Scott Braes, of West Shore RCMP. “(The store owner) vacated the property and dumped out all the alcohol. This is a civil matter.”

The owner of Bayley’s Brewhaha was unreach-able by phone and email. The voicemail box for the company was full and the News Gazette was unable to leave a message.

Motorcycle driver in stable condition

A motorcycle rider is in stable condition after his bike collided with an SUV on July 29 on Vet-eran’s Memorial Parkway.

West Shore RCMP say wit-nesses saw the motorcycle trav-elling north at high speed, hitting the SUV which was turning left onto Cairndale Road.

The 40-year-old motorcyclist was taken to hospital with what was described as severe injuries.

A traffic analyst was called to determine the factors of the crash, although no results have been released yet.

Renewed spirit toVictoria’s tourismAfter lacklustre years of fewer visitors and

declining revenues, Victoria’s tourism industry is finally turning the corner.

Having picture-perfect weather through July always helps, but take a walk downtown on virtually any weekend and the streets are packed with cruise ship passengers and locals taking in a continuous array of public festivals, restaurants and street food.

Successful events like the Highland Games, Canada Day concerts, Northwest Deuce Days, the Buskers Festival, the Moss Street Paint-In, the Street Food Festival, and further afield, Rock the Shores and the University of Victoria’s Congress conference have driven a renewed vibrancy to the city, and drawn huge crowds.

The beloved Symphony Splash and popular standbys like Beer Fest and Rifflandia are yet to come.

Tourism Victoria may have some creative advertising in Vancouver and Washington State, but the long lineup of festivals and events seems less a co-ordinated plan and more a perfect storm of an improving economy meeting an especially active year for the city, wrapped in warm, sunny weather.

These kind of downtown events and festivals that get people out on the streets and into pubs and restaurants is exactly what Victoria needs.

The city has worked hard to rejuvenate its image from a somewhat staid British outpost to a place where people can explore and have fun in the urban core, suburban neighbourhoods or regional parks.

Assuming the anecdotal boost in activity matches the statistics, this could be a renewal year for what was once a mainstay industry in the city. Victoria suffered from steep declines in tourism numbers and spending since 2008, and which has either remained flat or edged up slowly into 2012. Hotel occupancy rates, and the number of cars on the ferries between Swartz Bay and Tsawwassen have taken a beating since 2007.

But as signalled by steadily improving cruise ship numbers, our southern neighbours are starting to travel abroad in greater numbers again, good news for a sector that provides jobs for thousands of Greater Victorians.

In the end, Mr. Body was bludgeoned to death in the salon with a candlestick wielded by

Mrs. White, the cold-blooded killer who looks no more dangerous than a kindly librarian.

The savage act was deduced by my 12-year-old son, who joined me and his big sister in that night’s detective hall of fame. Three rounds of the board game Clue and three different Sherlock Holmes solving the mystery.

In this age of heads tilted and eyes fixated and thumbs tap-tap-tapping on smartphones and iPods, unplugging from the video addiction and tossing the dice on a good old-fashioned board game offers a refreshing reprieve.

But, as video-game violence and associated mayhem on the Internet gets much press, I looked at the board game on the table and the stacks of board games in the closet — and realized we have always been tied to real-life scenarios, even when trying to escape the same in games, be they board or video.

Take Clue, for example.It’s a fantastic game that forces

players to draw on their powers of deduction, but the central theme is murder — in various violent ways.

Hangings, shootings and blunt-force trauma take the life of hapless Mr. Body again and again and again.

The carnage litters various elegant rooms in a grand mansion frequented by an assortment

of wealthy and high-ranking people. There’s a professor and a colonel among the killers.

Clue is not alone in board games that replicate the uglier side of real life.

Risk mimics that which we all profess to wish would be eradicated from the face of the earth — war. The goal is to have your troops kill all the other troops in battle and conquer the territories of your opponent, invading

and, presumably, enslaving the populace.

Monopoly is the most popular board game of all time and the goal is to become filthy rich while bankrupting all others.

In Monopoly, as in real life, the rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the middle class don’t have a chance.

Sorry is a simple game in which you race others to the finish line while doing everything you can to thwart their success, each time saying you are sorry despite not meaning it — not unlike the recent provincial election campaign.

Even the venerable Game of Life, which was unveiled in 1860, the very year the U.S. Civil War began, has managed to stay relevant with society’s ever-changing values.

The game I remember from my childhood had players choosing to go to college or get a job, the latter being a decision that would likely land a player in the “poor farm;” the former being a choice that would likely see the player retire in “Millionaire Acres.”

In the 1990s, the game was updated with recycling and helping the homeless added to the play.

The latest version of The Game of Life, which we purchased a few years ago, had me baffled as I studied the board.

On a spot just over the second bridge was a commendation for helping African orphans — something definitely foreign to The Game of Life of my youth.

Of course, the next updated version I buy will likely have us landing on spaces that gift us 20 per cent pay hikes as city administrators, or spaces giving us 100 per cent medical and dental coverage, courtesy of taxpayers in The Game of Life.

Hey, it happens in real life, so why not in The Game of Life?

Video games and 3D movies do not have exclusive domain over virtual reality.

It’s right there, in our closets, on boards carrying memories of your youth.

Do yourself a favour — drop the Wii remotes and dust off Battleship.

It will feel good.

No, I like to partake in the many activities that are scheduled around the region

Sometimes, but I often leave the decision to the last minute

Last week’s question:Should the province mandate that B.C. Ferries vessels be built in B.C.?• Yes, it’s important to keep jobs at home (52%)• Maybe, B.C. shipbuilders should be given a slight advantage when B.C.

Mainland MLA clarifies NDP position on carbon tax

Re: “NDP soul search going nowhere” (B.C. Views, July 31).

Climate change is a reality, and bold political leadership is needed to address it.

During the 2013 election campaign, New Democrats put forward a plan to expand the base of the carbon tax to include venting emissions from oil and gas operations, capturing an additional five per cent of carbon emissions in the province, but that plan didn’t

include all industrial process emissions.

We believe government should work with the oil and gas sector to make sure companies pay their fair share for the emissions they produce.

This is particularly important as the B.C. Liberal government pursues an aggressive schedule of liquid natural gas expansion.

If such an objective is realized, it will be nearly impossible for the government

to reach our province’s legal emission reduction requirements.

New Democrats will hold the government to account for their green promises, and continue to advocate for policies that help reduce emissions and spur efficiency, innovation and best practices.

Liquid natural gasa boon for province

When Premier Clark came out with her bold stance on liquid natural gas, many speculated how much annual revenue the project would bring.

Clark has stated the industry will contribute between $4.3 to $8.7 billion to government revenue each year by 2020.

Last week B.C. Ferries came out with plans to purchase three new vessels that it hopes will be powered by liquefied natural gas. Although this will involve higher initial capital costs, the overall life cycle costs will be lower.

As of mid-2013 about 138 billion cubic metres a year of LNG was under production, which will bring the total capacity to 500 billion cubic metres by 2018. About 86 billion cubic metres will be sold to Asia and 80 per cent is contracted for the long term.

B.C. Ferries’ interest in LNG says a lot about the overall demand for the product. We need the product at home as well.

With big-time players like

Exxon Mobil Corp., the world’s largest energy company, aboard on the project to export LNG (a move that would produce one-third of Canada’s current daily production), it speaks volumes as to how profitable this project could be.

Buying food from Chinanot the healthiest idea

Why do the big stores buy food from China? Because it’s cheap, obviously.

I discovered today that High Liner brand seafood products are processed in China. The fish could be Canadian, but the processing, the adding of the batter, is done in China.

We all want to know why cancer is on the rise, when so many billions are being given to find a cure. When Chinese mothers won’t buy the baby food made in China, that should give us a hint that something is wrong. Too many little children are dying of cancer.

It has to be the food they eat, or drugs that have remained in the family genes over the years.

Having a good environment will not help us, if we continue to buy from countries that still use pesticides or unclean processing procedures.

Canada Post decisionmakes little sense

When it comes to stupidity, inefficiency and putting stress on its workers, Canada Post’s policy of routing Victoria’s inter-city mail takes the cake.

It is not enough that their mail sorters in Vancouver have to process mail sent within Metro Vancouver, from Vancouver to Vancouver Island, from other parts of Canada and elsewhere in the world to addresses within Vancouver, now they get to sort mail we might send to someone across town in Greater Victoria. I hope they get a pay raise that reflects their extra workload.

I am sure all the courier companies that operate on Vancouver Island will love Canada Post for this.

Staff are still moving towards public consultation for the use of the landfill in Saanich as the location for a biosolids energy centre, but Desjardins’ motion means staff will again be required to look for alternative sites. This comes after the CRD abandoned a proposal earlier this month to build the plant on Viewfield Road in Esquimalt.

“There likely won’t be any-thing new to report until Sep-tember,” said CRD spokesman Andy Orr. “Nothing imminent or urgent is happening on the file until then.”

At the committee meet-ing, Blackwell tried to rule the motion out of order due to time concerns, but enough com-mittee members rallied in its favour to have it brought for-ward and carried.

“I wasn’t trying to block any-body from speaking,” Blackwell said afterward. “Although as the chair, I have to be conscious of the time and the fact that another meeting is about to take place.”

Blackwell disagrees with prolonging the process with another search for an alterna-tive site.

“Given what happened in Esquimalt, even if we did find another site that was closer in, I

think we would have the same difficulties,” she said. “The plan is the plan. We need to get on with it.”

For her part, Desjardins said there was “considerable dis-comfort” with the committee endorsing Hartland.

“The sentiment around the table was quite strong that Hart-land is really not an ideal site,” she said.

Moving forward with public consultation over Hartland is not the issue, Desjardins added, but having it as the only option is.

Desjardins’ concerns with Hartland stem from its distance from the proposed wastewater treatment facility at McLoughlin Point and the potential dangers associated with pumping mate-rials the 18 kilometres to the Saanich site.

“There’s a significant risk,” she said. “The whole idea of having two sites so far away is probably not the best use of taxpayers’ money.”

Saanich councillor and com-mittee member Judy Brownoff said enough is enough and it’s

time to move forward with a plan that has been in the works since 2006.

“We had looked at over 16 sites in the region. So it’s not like we weren’t looking,” Brownoff said. “Tell me where a site is. I want a municipality to put up its hand and say ‘You know what? We’ll take that site.’ And that’s just not going to hap-pen.”

Issues such as the distance to pump to Hartland have been thoroughly investigated and resolved, Brownoff said.

If energy is spent looking into anything, she said, it should be gasification – developing tech-nology to use organic waste to produce energy.

Hartland was an industry leader for doing a similar pro-cess with garbage.

Hartland landfill ‘not an ideal site’

View Royal-raised composer Jared Rich-ardson has a compo-sition being played in this weekend’s Victo-

ria Symphony Splash, the sec-ond for the young composer.

“Duel of Champions,” a fast-paced composition meant to capture the spirit of competi-tion, will be performed by the symphony at the popular out-door classical music event on Sunday, Aug. 4.

“It has sort of slow, mysteri-ous start and then it’s just all of a sudden ‘wham’ and it’s really fast and crazy,” Rich-ardson said. “It’s intense and exciting.”

Richardson entered the piece in the sympho-

ny’s reading session for local composers. The organizers chose it for a play-through and then went on to recommend it for Splash.

Now that the orchestra has had some time to rehearse and polish the piece, Richardson is excited to hear it at the event.

Richardson’s “Winds of Kananaskis,” was per-formed at the 2011 Splash event. It was the first time the symphony played a piece by a young composer for the event.

“I’m very grateful to the Victoria Symphony because having the opportunity to submit a piece to them was how I got specifically into orchestral composition in the first place,” Richardson said. “It’s really exciting and really a great honour. I’m glad to be a part of it.”

Richardson is transferring from UVic to the Berklee College of Music in Boston in September, to continue his studies in film score composition.

View Royal composer makes a Splash

Kyle WellsReporting


Victoria Symphony will play a piece by young View Royal composer Jared Richardson as part of its Symphony Splash this weekend.

Set atop the picturesque summit of Mount Tol-mie, prepare to be taken back in time as a dozen musicians dressed in wigs and centuries-old attire will host two melodic public shows.

Raven Baroque performers will look as if they’re out of the 1600s, playing baroque music of the same era. The shows will feature music from composers Antonio Vivaldi, Heinrich Biber, Luigi Boccherini, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Georg Telemann and Tomaso Albinoni.

Hour-long shows take place on the reservoir atop the mountain beginning at 1:30 and 3 p.m. on B.C. Day (Monday, Aug. 5).

Chairs for 150 audience members will be pro-vided, otherwise attendees must bring a seat.

Admission is by donation. See ravenbaroque.org.

The art of downsizingDownsizing is tricky at the best

of times, as Cathy Haynes knows. It takes care, compassion and sometimes comedy. But whether helping parents or grandparents move, Haynes says the trick is to start small, and start today.

“Even one drawer sorted is a reason to celebrate,” says Haynes, who runs Downsizing Diva, a professional senior move management franchise in Greater Victoria. “It takes years to accumulate our stuff and, when you begin to downsize early, you remain in control. Don’t wait for a health or � nancial crisis or a sudden vacancy in a retirement residence. Start sooner and have your life be less about

stuff and clutter and more about the things that really make you feel good.”

Haynes, who is a certi� ed professional consultant on aging, says that working with family members can be challenging due to baggage or con� icting ideas, and cautions that strong opinions must be tempered with gentle patience.

“Even a simple thing like giving away an out� t that is seldom worn can be an issue – every out� t or gadget we have bought originally held some kind of promise for us,” she says. “To let it go is also to let go of that promise in a way.”

Downsizing is often associated with a loss – either of health, a partner, � nances

or the ability to balance a larger home. One word Haynes’ hears a lot is “overwhelmed.” But there is hope: it may be that the house is manageable after all when it is de-cluttered, she says.

“Family members can help sort and shed some of the clutter to create a home that is safer and easier to manage,”

Making a DifferenceIn Your Community

Do you have a storyidea, comment,

or news to share in our Senior section?

Like a deer caught in the headlights, I realize I am the problem I’m writing about.

Almost two years ago I started the debate in Greater Victoria

about the assault on seniors’ driving privileges. I focused on DriveABLE, a provincially funded, Alberta-based program introduced to screen seniors by way of intimidating and expensive cognitive computer testing.

Doing more research this month on seniors’ driving habits I realize I am the perfect specimen, a living, breathing example the typical auto-addicted senior. For the vast majority of us seniors, our drive to the store and the bank a few times a week represents independence. The eventual loss of driving privileges will

signal a forced march to dependence that we dread.

Stats Canada senior analyst Martin Turcotte studied the habits of seniors and discovered that 3.25 million souls 65 and older have a driver’s licence. That’s three-quarters of all seniors. Of that number, about 200,000 are 85 and older.

For me, one of the most startling � ndings in the Stats Canada study was that seniors are shunning public transit options. Turcotte characterized it this way: “Most people probably consider accessible transit and taxis as

options of last resort.”

Given the popularity of the car as the main form of mobility only a minority of seniors use other forms of transportation, the Stats Canada analyst stated. Just

seven per cent of seniors 75 to 84 get around principally by public transit and only four per cent mainly walk or cycle.

‘‘I am the perfect specimen, a living, breathing example of the typical auto-addicted senior.”

While most seniors have retired from the workforce, a majority want to grow old in their homes and take an active part in society, Turcotte concluded. However, “their desire to remain in their homes is not very realistic unless they have adequate transportation (and) in most residential areas this means having access to a private vehicle.”

The Stats Canada analyst suggested that most urban public transportation is not designed with our aging population in mind. “The relatively infrequent use of public transit compared with other means of transportation is possibly attributable to the fact that seniors, like the rest of the population, tend to live in low residential density neighbourhoods (where) public transit is designed primarily to meet the needs of workers (at rush hour periods).”

Two things are obvious from this study: seniors are addicted to their vehicles, and overwhelmingly reject public transport as a viable option to driving.

How we resolve this conundrum is beyond me. I guess that’s no surprise … I’m a senior hooked on my car and the last place you will � nd me is on a bus. ●

Q&AThe Senior Life

Haynes says. “Adult children and grandchildren

should be encouraged to remove any of their stuff that has been stored in their parents’ or grandparents’ garages or attics. It’s tough enough to downsize your own stuff without worrying about what to do with someone else’s stuff.”

While Haynes doesn’t force people to get rid of things, she guides them with her simple mantra: Do you use it? Do you need it? Do you love it?

“This makes room for the sentimental ‘we just love it!’, but deals with the ‘maybe it will be handy one day’ or ‘I looked great in that out� t in 1993’ type of stuff which we all tend to accumulate but have to say goodbye to,” she says.

For those downsizing into a smaller home, Haynes suggests the addition of “will it � t?” She also suggests PITCH (toss out obvious stuff), PATCH (get honest about whether you will ever sew that hem), PASS ALONG (to family, friends or sell) and PACK.

“Recently in Calgary, a lot of people had just a few hours to get their most important treasures out of the way of � ood waters,” Haynes says. “Sometimes, if we imagine what we would save if we had only a few hours – and a man with a truck – and think about the things that are replaceable, it makes it clearer.” ●

Rita Perren enjoys helping other seniors as a way to keep busy, active and ful� lled.

Perren is the director of the Juan de Fuca 55+ Senior Centre. She is the chair of several committees at the centre where she spends about four days a week.

Looking for something to do, Perren � rst wandered into the centre 10 years ago when she was 65. “I just didn’t feel like I � t in. I wasn’t old enough,” she now jokes. She wanted be out in the community and keep busy so she asked if she could work in the of� ce.

“We have so many skills and you want to show the community what you can do,” Perren says about being retired. “Once you become retired you have that feeling of ‘is this the end of the road for me?’” Using her skills and talents at the senior centre helps Perren keep busy and ful� lled knowing she is helping others. Even though she’s at the centre often, she � nds herself too busy with administrative tasks to take any of the courses offered.

“I am a people person and I would be a pretty sad person if I didn’t come

here,” she says. “There are people out there who are so separated from others who just stay home.”

Often new seniors come to the centre at the request of their doctors or therapists, she explains. When she’s not at the centre she is busy at home on the computer planning bus trips for seniors or future fundraising endeavours.

“We are always looking for seniors to come and join,” she says. “Each year we get about 250 new members but we lose some from people passing away or moving to retirement homes or with family. We’ve been sitting at about 1,200 members for a while.”

Q What is your favourite West Shore destination or activity? Why?

A Going to the Juan De Fuca 55 + Centre. There is everything I need in

the way of friends, learning, camaraderie and drawing people together to make our later years so enjoyable.

Q What words of wisdom have you strived to follow from your parents?

A I was raised by grandparents and my grandmother said: “Life is for

loving, laughing and sharing.” How true.

Q What’s at top of your bucket list?

A My needs have always been simple and if I set my mind to do something,

I generally achieve it.

Rita Perren, 75, keeps busy at the Juan de Fuca 55+ Senior Centre. She works on several committees, is a director and volunteers in the of� ce. She said without her volunteer work at the centre, she wouldn’t be nearly as happy as she is. CHARLA HUBER/NEWS STAFF

A Having located long lost relatives and standing in the 1826 home of

Hips will be swaying and feet will be tapping as the Tango and Latin Music Fest comes to Victoria starting today.

This year’s sixth annual festival features a number of local per-formers playing in a variety of venues, with an array of genres and moods.

The festival started out as a showcase for tango music, but over the years the call for Latin music increased and it was added to the repertoire. Now the festival has come to include all forms of Latin music, from far and near.

“At our festival we really provide these opportunities for musicians, our local people to play with visiting maestros in tango music,” said Jill Waters, one of the festival’s founders. “We have some Canadians that are actually very recognized tango musicians. We’re no slouch in that area.”

As the festival grows, Waters said she sees the popularity of Latin music and dance on the rise.

“In the mid-’90s era it really started to become established and then it got a pretty steady stronghold ever since,” Waters said. “It’s got a very dis-tinct rhythm to it and it can be really happy music.”

Centennial Square will see two days of celebration devoted to Vancouver Island’s own Kumbia, with special concerts honouring the band’s 25th anni-versary. With its large ensemble and a variety of guests, Kumbia will get the crowd moving with its lively Latin rhythms. Other performers will pay trib-ute to Kumbia through performance and dance.

Waters credits Kumbia with popularizing Latin music on Vancouver Island, primarily through a live performance in 1992 at the Empress Theatre which was broadcast by the CBC.

“It was after that that Latin music really started to become on the airwaves, we start-ed to hear a lot more Latin music,” Waters said. “They produce music that takes you away from whatever troubles you have and makes you feel really happy, and everybody just wants to get up and dance.”

On the Saturday afternoon, Centennial Square will also host tango guitarist Martin Nemcovsky, tango vocalist Hector Flores and the four-piece Jamshed Plays Tango.

Throughout the performances the square will be home to a selection of dance groups and booths featuring crafts, information on a variety of groups and Argentinean and Latin food.

For a more intimate experience, Hermann’s Jazz Club will be hosting two nights of music.

On Friday night, starting at 8 p.m., Argentinean Nemcovsky and Vancouver’s Stefan

Thordarson will play with locals Kelby MacNayr and Joey Smith for a set of Argentina Tango and Jazz, called “a la parilla,” meaning “off the grill.”

On Saturday night at Hermann’s the Gabriel Palatchi Band will bring its Afro-Cuban and Latin jazz sounds, joined by a group of international musicians.

“His work is more fusion, so it will be tango, jazz, Latin,” Waters said. “So farther away from what is the classics of tango, and much more into that fusion world.”

Sunday night will be a Cuban night with locals the Pablo Cardenas Latin Combo coming to the Ambrosia Event Centre for a 9 p.m. show. The band plays Afro-Cuban rhythms woven together with Brazilian Sambas and classical songs, all with deep jazz roots.

The Centennial Square performances are free.For more information visit passion4tango.com.

OPENINGSMURFS 2 -(Empire 6/SilverCity/Empire Uni 4/Westshore) The blue munchkins are back for more pint-sized adventures, this one involving a sorcerer and a diabolical kidnapping. Opened Wed., July 31.2 GUNS -(Odeon, Westshore, SilverCity) 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. Starts Fri.★★★ IRON MAN 3 -(Empire 6) An emotionally troubled Iron Man more than has his hands full with the diabolical Mandarin, in a rip-roaring adventure that mostly succeeds (but suffers from a tin heart). Starts Fri.

CONTINUING★★★ THE CONJURING -(Empire 6/SilverCity/Westshore) An elite cast including Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, and Lili Taylor star in a clever haunted house chiller about a pair of paranormal investigators who get in

over their heads when they confront a powerful entity. This is an old-school spookfest, interested in atmosphere more so than splatter.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. ★★½ 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. 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.GROWN UPS 2 -(Caprice) Despite the name, expect the humour to be decidedly juvenile in this amiable raunchfest about the reunion of five school buddies, who have aged but not matured. Starring Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James, Rob Schneider and David Spade.★★½ THE HEAT -(Odeon/SilverCity/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.

★★½ MAN OF STEEL -(Westshore/Caprice) Zack Snyder (The Watchmen, 300) helms this occasionally interesting but mostly 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.★★ NOW YOU SEE ME -(Roxy, 7:00) 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 PACIFIC RIM -(Odeon/SilverCity/Westshore) Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth) helms this Transformers-ish epic about monsters that attack Earth and are opposed by giant robots controlled by human “pilots.” This is a skilfully directed and highly imaginative tribute to all those schlocky Godzilla movies of old.★★½ RED 2 -(Empire 6/SilverCity/Empire Uni 4/Westshore) 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.★ R.I.P.D. -(Odeon/SilverCity) 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.★★★½ STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS -(Roxy, 9:15/Caprice)

J.J. Abrams retains the helm of the rebooted Star Trek franchise with this entertaining and engaging tale about a youthful Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) tackling a seemingly unstoppable one-man weapon of mass destruction. With Bruce Greenwood, Zoe Saldana, and a sinister Benedict Cumberbatch.★★★ THIS IS THE END -(Caprice) 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).★★ THE TO DO LIST -(Odeon) In this equal-opportunity raunchfest for girls, an over-achieving high school valedictorian (and virgin) feels pressured to have a variety of sexual experiences before she enters college in the fall, a task she undertakes with grim determination.TURBO -(Odeon/SilverCity/Westshore) 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 WAY WAY BACK -(Odeon) A hit at Sundance, this is a funny and touching coming-of-age story about a 14-year-old boy who feels ignored by his mother and pushed around by her overbearing boyfriend (Steve Carell). Also starring Allison Janney, Toni Collette and Sam Rockwell. See review.★★★ WOLVERINE -(Odeon/SilverCity/Empire Uni 4/Westshore) Hairy-faced and Adamantium-clawed Hugh Jackman travels to Japan to confront the diabolical Silver Samurai, in an entertaining Marvel Comics smackdown that combines

X-men flair with martial arts and yakuza elements. Directed by James Mangold (***Walk The Line, 3:10 to Yuma). See review.★★★ WORLD WAR Z -(Empire 6/ SilverCity/Caprice) 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.

IMAX FLIGHT OF THE BUTTERFLIES -(11 am, 4 pm)★★★½ STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS -(8 pm)KENYA: ANIMAL KINGDOM -(noon, 3 pm, 6 pm)★★★½ ROCKY MOUNTAIN EXPRESS -(1 pm, 7 pm).★★★½ SHACKLETON’S ANTARCTIC ADVENTURE -(10 am, 2 pm, 5 pm)

★★★ KON-TIKI -(Fri.-Sat., Aug. 2-3: 7:00, 9:00) Fascinating albeit superficial, this Oscar-nominated adventure recreates the legendary 1947 voyage of Thor Heyerdal, who crossed 4,700 miles of Pacific Ocean on a balsa wood raft in order to prove that it would have been possible for South Americans to settle in Polynesia in pre-Columbian times.★★★½ THE SAPPHIRES -(Sun.-Mon., Aug. 4-5: 7:00, 9:00) Sixties soul music is at the centre of this delightful, true-life story about four young Australian aboriginal singers who hooked up with a wacky promoter and toured American military bases in Vietnam, performing Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett songs to adoring soldiers.ITALY: LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT -(Tues., Aug. 6 7:15, 9:00) Two Italian journalists have made a provocative documentary about their ambivalent feelings as to how their homeland has become unaffordable and otherwise problematic as a place to live.HAVA NAGILA: THE MOVIE -(Wed.-Thurs., Aug. 7-8: 7:15, 9:00) This tuneful documentary charts how the ebullient Hebrew song Hava Nagila (“Let Us Rejoice”), which is set to a traditional melody from the Ukraine, evolved to become the signature song of Jewish life. Includes interviews with Harry Belafonte, Chubby Checker, Bob Dylan and Lena Horne.

Wolverine gone wildFeral, ferocious and very emotionally unavailable, Logan (a.k.a. The Wolverine) is the most interest-

ing of the mutant X-Men characters (to say nothing of what it adds to have Hugh Jackman sporting those sideburns and claws). In The Wolverine, which is the furry one’s sixth screen appearance, our

misanthropic hero is living wild in Alaska. He’s tracked down by a cute ninja punk from Japan who tells him that the concentration camp guard that Logan saved from death towards the end of World War II is dying and wants to see him. Logan reluctantly accompanies the woman with wicked samurai skills and flame-red dyed hair back to Tokyo, where he finds that Yashida, a day from death, is the billionaire patriarch of a giant high-tech company.

Yashida has enemies, and Logan soon finds himself embroiled in a fierce battle as ruthless yakuza thugs raid the man’s funeral to kidnap his haughty granddaughter, Mariko. Logan finds himself on the run with her, and is soon embroiled in a complicated plot involving corrupt politicians and yakuza mob-sters. Poor Logan has to fight gangsters, a swarm of black-clad ninja warriors, a diabolical fellow-mutant named Viper, his own inner demons … and his emerging feelings for the distractingly soulful Mariko.

Wolverine spends a lot of screen time exploring Logan’s inner torment as a noble warrior who has lost his sense of purpose. That emphasis on character is unusual in a superhero franchise flick, but it certainly doesn’t get in the way of director James Mangold delivering all the kicky genre trappings fanboys expect. From an astonishing battle atop a bullet train going 300 miles an hour to elegantly choreographed West Meets East fight scenes, the movie rockets along as it delivers solid entertainment.

Rating: ★★★

The Wolverine - Hugh Jackman stars in The Wolverine, playing now in Victoria area theatres. Supplied photo.

Coming-of-age stories are such a cinema staple that they can often be terribly predict-able.

Happily, The Way Way Back manages to, if not reinvent the formula, then keep it fresh and funny with sharp-edged dialogue and several stand-out performances. The centre of the film is occupied by 14-year-old Duncan (Liam James), who is a heartbreaking mixture of misery, sullenness and anger. His parents are divorced and Duncan finds himself being dragged along as his mom (Toni Collette) is taken for a summer vacation to Cape Cod by her recent boyfriend, Trent (Steve Carell), a domineering jerk who frequently remarks that Duncan “needs to try harder” to make their new family work. It’s clear from the start that Duncan’s insecure mom pays too much attention to Trent and not enough to her unhappy son.

The next-door neighbour, Betty (Allison Janney), is a brittle divorcée who makes desperately breezy, often crass chatter to paper over the social shallow-

ness as various friends of convenience get together to eat and drink too much. “It’s like spring break for adults,” quips Betty’s teenage daughter to Duncan. Things pick up considerably when Duncan is befriended by Owen (Sam Rockwell), the bohe-mian manager of the charmingly dilapidated Water Wizz water park, who not only gives him a job but also steps in as a surrogate parent.

The script is more interested in character than creating big drama (although there’s a strong scene where Duncan finally stands up to Trent). All the performances are believable, including cameos from Rob Corddry, Amanda Peet, and Maya Rudolph. There’s a whiff of sentimentality in how Duncan gets adopted by the quirky crew that works at the water park, but overall the very funny Back is an endearing and human-scale story in a Cineplex summer overrun with blockbusters.

Rating: ★★★1/2The Way Way Back continues at the Odeon

PERFECTLY POTABLE:Wolverine is set almost entirely in Japan, so let’s check out the complex charms of sake, that classic

potable brewed from fermented rice. Over 1,000 years old, sake has flavour notes that can range from apples, bananas and melons to spices, caramel and chestnuts. But what sake lovers prize most of all are mouthfeel, elegance, and purity. It is often served hot, especially in winter, but top quality sake is always sipped chilled so that no flavour is lost. Locally, authentic sake ranges from Hakutsuru-Junmai Ginjo ($10) to Yoshi No Gawa ($18).

Mark, Jeremy and Max Grant made history at the recent 2013 Canadian Judo Championship in Richmond.

Mark, 62, is guessing it’s probably the first time ath-letes of three generations from the same family com-peted at the nationals earlier this month.

Mark’s son Jeremy is 42 and grandson Max is 12.

It was “very special for us,” Jeremy said, though he added the family aspect made it hard for him to concentrate on his own performance while he

could see his son and father fighting on another mat.

Max a green belt, earned

the best result with bronze in the 15-and-under category.

“It was a privilege for me

to be part of something that my son and grandson were a part of and not to seem out of place to do it,” Mark said. “I was glad to see (Max) worked hard and kept going no mat-ter how tough it was.”

Mark, a fourth degree black belt, teaches locally at the Kokushikai and Victoria judo clubs and hasn’t competed in over a decade, previously winning the World Masters open weight, U.S. masters and Canadian Masters. He came back just to say his fam-ily did it.

Jeremey is a second-degree black belt.

It’s that time of year when a group of newbies make their first foray into the world of triathlon beside a core of regulars who annually target Sun-day’s (Aug. 4) Self-Transcendence Triathlon and Duathlon at Elk Lake.

About 400 com-petitors are expected for the 34th annual running of the event which starts at 7 a.m. when swimmers con-verge for a mass start on Hamsterly Beach at the north end of Elk Lake.

This year’s duath-lon (five-kilometre run, 40 km bike, 10 km run) is the pro-vincial champion-ships and will award all age-class winners with a championship belt buckle from Tri-athlon B.C. It’s also a qualifier for the 2014 World Duathlon Championships.

Traditionally, the Self Transcendence sprint (750 km swim, 20 km bike and 5 km run) and Olympic distance (1.5 km swim, 40 km bike and 10 km run) triathlons are a stepping stone for many first-time triathletes as well as a warmup for Ironman ath-letes headed to Whistler later this month.

Because of the warm weather this year, wetsuits, which are a popular item among triathletes, will be decided on as of 6 a.m. on race day. Triathlon B.C. rules dictate that wetsuits can not be worn if the temperature reaches 22 degrees celsius, which is possible but unlikely.

If wetsuits are disallowed, organizers will try to accommodate the competitors. Olympic dis-tance registrants can opt for the sprint distance swim and all registered triathletes can opt for the duathlon.

The post race food, as always, will be prepared by the volunteers of the Finish Line Cafe. The Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team started the race in 1980.

Victoria Highlanders striker Jordie Hughes has won senior men’s provin-cial soccer titles with Gorge FC. He’s won multiple Jack-son Cups with Gorge and the Bays United. He’s been to the Canadian nationals and to the NCAA Div. 1 Sweet 16.

But he’s never been this far, not at this high a level.

The Highlanders are in Austin, Texas today (Aug. 2) for the Premier Develop-ment League’s Championship final four. Kickoff is 3 p.m. PST between the Highlanders and Thunder Bay Chill, an all-Canadian matchup. The host Austin Aztex face the Ocean City Nor’easters in the other semifinal.

“It feels good. We knew when we started (in 2009) we could get here. I just didn’t know when it would be,” Hughes said. “To see it prog-ress from 2009 to now, it’s an honour to be a part of it. In a way it’s hard to believe we’re finally here. And now we’re only two wins away from (winning the PDL).”

It’s the Highlanders first appearance in the champion-ship final four and the team faces a big challenge as the Chill won the PDL title in 2008 and last appeared in the PDL’s final four in 2011.

Earlier this week, Hughes was up-Island for a significant

but short two-night getaway. It just so happens he had already booked this week off for vacation from his job with the B.C. Government, mostly to celebrate the first anniver-sary with this wife. The team flew to Texas on Wednesday.

“It just kind of worked out. To play soccer and be able to commit to things like this you definitely need a really nice boss, and mine’s a big soccer fan,” Hughes said. “Even if I hadn’t booked it off, he prob-ably won’t hesitate to give me the time off.”

Hughes, 29, scored 30 goals as a striker for the Jackson Cup Island champion Bays United in the premier divi-sion of Vancouver Island Soccer League this season. The converted midfielder has kept the striker role with the Highlanders this season, and though it’s a lot harder to score in the PDL, managed eight goals in 13 games.

That’s a dangerous threat behind the genius striking of Brett Levis, the Highlanders’ scoring sensation from Saska-toon, who potted 16 goals in 16 regular season games, plus three in the playoffs.

It was Levis who propelled the Highlanders with a 3-2 win over the Ventura County Fusion 3-2 on Friday in the Western Conference semi-final. Levis tied it 2-2 in the 60th minute, then scored the winning goal six minutes into extra time.

On Saturday Levis scored the only goal as the High-landers shutout the Portland Timbers U-23s 1-0 to win the Western Conference.

“Levis scored three of our four goals and drew a pen-alty kick for the only other goal (scored by Riley O’Neil). Obviously he’s been key to our success this year,” Hughes said.

“But it’s also the effect of having coach Steve Simon-son. A lot of the players who are on the Highlanders now are from his (Highlanders) development team and grew up with Simonson’s system. He’s been training some of these guys since they were 14.”

Impressing this year from that local pipeline are Lake-hill Soccer Association youth products Josh Heard, 18, and Tarnvir Bhandal, 18, at mid-

field, and Gorge FC youth player Andrew Ravenhill, 23, on defence.

“They know how (Simon-son) likes to play. But if team’s are catching on to our style, he’s not just stuck on that one style, that’s been important,” Hughes said.

Recovering from injury, Hughes managed 45 minutes against the Timbers on Sat-urday and will most likely see playing time on Friday, espe-cially if the Highlanders fall behind, but might not start the game. With 57 goals in 61 regular season PDL games, as well as being named an NCAA Div. 1 All American in 2005, Hughes’ balance of skill and experience is integral as the Highlanders look to make it through to the final. If the Highlanders advance the final is 5:30 p.m. PST on Monday.

Stunning loss for HighlandersTravis Paterson News staff

An impressive and dominant season by the Peninsula Co-op Highlanders collapsed on Satur-day with a 4-3 shootout loss in the semifinals to the Kamloops Heat.

The Highlanders finished sec-ond in the Pacific Coast Soc-

cer League’s premier women’s division with a record of 13-1-2, scoring a league best 61 goals. It put the Highlanders into the PCSL championship semifinals, played on the Mainland last weekend against the Heat.

The game ended at regulation in a 2-2 tie, with the Highlanders goals coming from Kristen Liv-ingstone and Liz Hansen. Han-sen scored twice more in over-time to keep the Highlanders on par, 4-4, with the Heat. Jaclyn Sawicki then put the Highland-

ers ahead 5-4 and 6-4 with a pair of goals and what looked like a spot in the final. But the High-landers surrendered two late goals and lost 4-3 in the penalty kick shootout.

“It’s our first year back in this league, so now we just build from here,” said Highlanders head coach Dave Dew. “We’re so young, our average age isn’t even 21, so we have a huge future.”

Swimmer to chase medal on SaturdayTravis Paterson News staff

Saanich’s Ryan Cochrane added to his world medal total with bronze in the 800-metre freestyle event at the FINA World Champion-ships on Wednesday.

Cochrane swam the race in 7 seven min-utes and 43.7 seconds, chasing down Ameri-can Connor Jaeger in the final 100 metres to ensure his third straight world championship medal in the 800m. China’s Sun Yang won gold in 7:41.36.

Cochrane, 24, grew up in the waters of Saa-nich Commonwealth Place, and previoulsy won silver at the 2011 Worlds in Shanghai, bronze in 2009 in Rome, bronze in the 1,500m of the 2008 Olympics and silver in the 1,500m 2012 Olympics.

Cochrane was ago-

nizingly close to another medal when he was fourth to touch the wall in the 400m free-style on Sunday, yet was just 0.1 of a second away from silver.

“The touches aren’t my friend this meet,” Cochrane said in Swim-ming Canada’s release.

“It was hard getting fourth place. It’s a frus-trating place to be but at the world champion-ships anything can hap-pen.”

Cochrane still has

the 1,500m to look for-ward to for Saturday.

“(It was a) very inter-esting race – five guys in it all the way and it’s not that normal in the distance freestyle,” said Randy Bennett, head coach of the national team and Cochrane’s coach at the Victoria Academy of Swimming.

“It’s usually a two- or three-horse race but he could have been fifth ... to be aware that he had to go as hard as he did in the last 100 metres,

we’ll take the medal and run with it but you always want a little bit more.”

The medal is Cana-da’s fifth overall at the championships, and second in swimming. University of Victoria’s Eric Hedlin won a silver medal in the five-km open water race earlier in the two-week event, which also features water polo, diving, syn-chronized swimming and a newly added high diving event.

“The field is getting faster and faster and I think one of the mis-takes we made (in the 800m) is playing into everybody else’s race tactics,” Cochrane said.

Cochrane will seek a third straight year of podium finishes in the 1,500m freestyle event when heats begin Sat-urday. He has back-to-back world champion-ships silver medals in that event.

Coast Collective Art Centre hopes to transition into new hands come the new year.

“We’ve surpassed the goal,” said Marcela Stras-das, one of the five founders of Coast Collective Art Centre. “When we started five years ago the idea was to just have a few art shows and a few classes and here we are.”

Each year for the past five years, more than 12,000 people visited the Coast Collective Art Cen-tre overlooking the Esquimalt Lagoon’s bird sanc-tuary. The centre, a 1920s mansion nestled on 11 acres of beautiful woodland, has represented more than 300 artists, instructors and artisans to date.

“Here in Colwood there are no galleries,” Stras-das said. “So we wanted to have a place to show-case local art, to bring the community and artwork together.”

They hope the centre will maintain, or even expand, the work built over the past five years, in

new hands.“It’s gotten to be a little bit too large for us in the

sense of time commitment. It has become a full-time job,” she said. “We are artists as well ... now we don’t find we have time for our own art.”

The directors of the Coast Collective plan to step down from their present way of operation by Dec. 31 in order for the art centre to grow into its full potential. They invite interested parties to take on the task of building the collective through investment opportunities, a new business struc-ture or operating as a non-profit.

“We would love it to continue to exist because it’s a wonderful thing that has happened here in the community,” she said.

For more information on the Coast Collective visit www.coastcollective.ca. Contact [email protected] by Aug. 7 to express interest in creat-ing a proposal. The deadline for initial proposals in writing by email to [email protected] is Aug. 31.
