COLOURFUL CONCLUSION Oak Bay artist elevated to Master category in area fine art showcase Tim Collins News staff
For Marion Evamy, its all about colour. Evamy began to apply her talents to painting in the late 1990’s when she started painting with her father while he was recovering from cancer treatments. Those sessions sparked a passion within her that was further inspired when she saw the work of artist Ron Burns. They were pictures of and Evamy Her work is dogs, realized that she happy … bright could paint the and colourful.” same subjects with her own particular - Sandy Bligh twist. Before long she was being commissioned to do dozens of pooch portraits. She still paints about 20 a year, but she now donates the proceeds from those paintings to charities for children and pets. These days, Evamy’s work is still about colour, but her subject matter is far more personal – an expression of her soul. Singularly unconcerned with whether her paintings are classified as abstract impressionism or non-representational art, or any other label that others may choose to apply, she does care about the colour, form and the fact that from time to time, her work manages to capture someone at an emotional level. “I recall a lady who was genuinely moved to tears,” says Evamy. “She was looking at one of my pieces and she saw elements in the work that reminded her of her late husband. It spoke to her on a very personal level and I guess that’s what art is supposed to do. It blows me away that it can happen. … it’s what I’m trying to do with my art, connect with people.”

Marion Evamy shows off one of the pooch portraits that make the Oak Bay artist popular among collectors. It’s an approach that seems to be working. When the Sidney Fine Art Show, considered by many to be the premier art show on Vancouver Island, opened its doors on Oct. 11, Evamy had one of her works on display. The painting is entitled

Travelling 1,100 kilometres through 27 communities, this year’s Tour de Rock team raised $1.02 million and counting. The money goes toward funding pediatric cancer research and Camp Goodtimes, a summer camp for kids with cancer. The team rode its final few kilometres to a hero’s welcome at Centennial Square last Friday, where supporters and public well-wishers gathered to pay tribute to the riders, all but four of whom were members of a
Fairway
police organization. All but two of this year’s 17 riders hailed from the Capital Region, which led fundraising efforts this year. About 60 per cent of the total came from Greater Victoria. Tracie Clayton, with the Canadian Cancer Society, said money keeps coming in after the fact and the final tally won’t be known until closer to November. Of all the generosity demonstrated across Vancouver
Island, Clayton noted the “mindblowing� $101,000 raised by Reynolds secondary in Saanich. More than $46,000 was raised by Oak Bay High students. It still brings a tear to her eye just talking about it. “Kids helping kids. It doesn’t get any sweeter than that,� Clayton said.

Running stop sign results in crash Shortly before 10:30 a.m. on Oct. 6, an Oak Bay man drove his 2010 Subaru into the side of a northbound Honda Odyssey after police say he failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection of Cadboro Bay road and Hamiota Street. The occupants of the Honda, a 50-year-old man and his 10-year-old son were unhurt, but the 78-year-old driver of the Subaru and his 70-year-old wife both sustained minor injuries. Police attended the crash and closed Cadboro Bay Road for approximately 40 minutes as a result of the collision. The occupants of the Subaru were transported to hospital and the driver was later issued with a traffic violation for failing to stop at a stop sign.
Homeowner surprises burglar Just after midnight on Oct. 6, the 28-year-old daughter of a homeowner in the 2500-block of Cotswold Rd. surprised a would-be thief as he tried to enter the residence through a basement window. The man had one leg inside the window when he was discovered and fled the scene empty-handed, never having gained entry. Because the offence was not reported immediately to police, his capture through the use of a police dog or other search methods was not possible.
Thieves target unsecured vehicles Oak Bay police had three reports of thefts from vehicles during the past week. In two cases, the vehicles had been left unlocked and in the third, the rear windows had been left partially open. Items stolen included an iPod and camera. Police suggest that drivers lock their vehicles and remove valuable items from view.

The City of Victoria has withdrawn its application to limit requests for information by Focus magazine. In August, corporate administrator Rob Woodland applied to B.C.’s Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for permission to restrict the magazine to one active request at a time. While the city claimed the number of requests filed by Focus overburdened city resources, publisher David Broadland countered that he suspected the move was strategic, to delay the release of specific materials related to the
Johnson Street Bridge. An adjudicator with the commission will no longer have to make a ruling in the case. On Oct. 9 Woodland distributed a letter explaining his reasons for withdrawing his application. “In the two months since the filing of the City's application … the Respondents have made no new requests related to the JSB Project,” Woodland wrote. By assigning extra resources to the job, the city has fulfilled all but one outstanding request by Focus, he continued. “Thus it is no longer necessary to proceed with the section 43 application.” rholmen@vicnews.com

Bus strikes hit poor, elderly P
eople with long memories understand what life is like without bus service. Slightly more than 11 years ago, Greater Victoria suffered through a two-week transit strike, where the main form of transportation for tens of thousands of people ground to a halt. Some people made do and carpooled with friends or hopped on a bike. Many who needed to crisscross the region couldn’t get to their jobs and lost wages, or risked their personal safety by hitchhiking. Parents suddenly had to drive their teenager to school who normally took the bus. Elderly people on fixed incomes who usually hopped a bus had to dole out for taxis for medical appointments or grocery shopping. Some drivers and even bike riders enjoyed roadways free of big, imposing buses, and many people with cars offered strangers free lifts, but the silver linings of a transit strike are few. Perhaps more than any other public sector contract dispute, shutting down buses throws a city’s economy into chaos and hurts the most vulnerable people. Prior to the 2001 strike, bus drivers went on strike in 1999 for one week. Before that, transit went on strike in 1984 for three months and crippled the economy of downtown Victoria. Today its shocking how little has changed in terms of transportation infrastructure. At least back then you could still catch the VIA dayliner. If bus drivers strike next week, cycling and carpooling will ramp up and many people will make do. But the poor, elderly and disabled will face a grim few weeks or months. The Canadian Auto Workers union and B.C. Transit management have demonstrated in the past they are willing to use the city’s transportation network as a negotiating tool. Many other big unions – nurses, government employees and even teachers – have found ways to work within the province’s net-zero mandate. Both sides in the transit dispute claim they are too. The damage done by a transit strike is well documented. Agreeing to a contract is possible and inevitable. The CAW and B.C. Transit don’t have to shut down the city to do it. What do you think?

He lived on Bethune Avenue in Saanich, and a recent visit allowed Russ to meet some descendants by the name of O’Connor. These unexpected discoveries can really make researching your family’s background a rewarding pastime. While I was writing this column, I was randomly typing into Google family names to see what would pop up. I quickly discovered a few new facts about my paternal grandmother’s brother, George Fowle. Then came the real surprise. My great grandfather had come to Canada with his wife and children, as well as a half-brother, Timothy Barmby. That half-brother had one child, who never had kids of his own, so that seemed like the end of the Barmby family line here. Except my search also turned up a family page for a Barmby brother or cousin who came to Canada at the same time, married in Winnipeg, had children and ended up in Saskatchewan. Who knew? Well, now we do. So now it’s back to the previous mystery: what did my grandfather do for those years in London? Don Denton is photo supervisor for Black Press Greater Victoria. ddenton@vicnews.com

LETTERS Flushing our sewage is far from an ideal situation I heard former environment minister David Anderson say recently that dumping Victoria’s sewage into the Strait of Juan de Fuca was “as effective as artificial land-based sewage treatment.” How can any intelligent human believe such a statement? According to Capital Regional District numbers, outfalls at Clover Point and Macaulay Point handle the effluent from 330,000 people daily, many of whom use personal-care products, laundry products, medicines and more, all contributing to a chemical stew being discharged into the local environment.
Stores throughout the region sell over-the-counter medicines, household cleansers, mouthwashes, hair dyes, bleaches and similar products every day. Additionally, many area residents use prescription drugs, virtually all of which pass through their bodies and are excreted into the waste stream. Anyone can read the warning labels on any of these products, and understand they pose a threat to the environment if not handled carefully. Even toothpaste is toxic, with labels warning users not to ingest the
product. But almost all of the areas’ 330,000 residents flush this down the drains, every day. Anderson and the Association for Responsible, Ethical and Sustainable Sewage Treatment say “source control” is their answer to the concerns about these chemical contaminants. Does he really think Victoria’s residents will stop washing their clothes, cleaning their houses, or stop taking their medicines? Many scientific studies have been done that show these chemicals are damaging the worlds’ environment. Anderson says the conditions
of the Strait of Juan de Fuca are somehow “different,” yet virtually all communities along the Strait currently have sewage treatment, except Victoria. Even little communities like Sooke, Sidney, Salt Spring Island, Friday Harbour, Port Townsend and Sequim have sewage treatment. If these communities all have funded and built sewage treatment, why can’t affluent Victoria, the Provincial Capital? Anderson tells the public an “exemption” is possible. With virtually every other nearby community already treating its
sewage, what will Victoria state as its “special” circumstances, warranting its ability to continue to pollute the areas’ environment all others are spending so much to clean up? Modern sewage treatment facilities remove 98 per cent of the chemicals of concern. Screening raw sewage before dumping it into the environment removes none of them. It is sad to see Anderson and others deceive the public in their efforts to achieve their political goals. Tyler Ahlgren Victoria
Readers respond: Ironman Canada bid, Syrian war, sewage legacy Ironman Canada bid loss a crying shame Re: Too much, too soon for Victoria (Sports, Oct. 5) What a shame. Although it was apparently the preferred location, Victoria has lost its bid to become the next host and permanent home of the Ironman Canada, a world famous triathlon event attracting thousands of participants and visitors each year. The reason given by the event organizers for not accepting Victoria’s bid was the archaic bureaucratic and stifling procedures required to obtain quick approval and continuity from 10 of our 13 municipalities in order to meet the timing and routing commitments for the event. Just another case for amalgamation wouldn’t you say? This is especially sad, since apparently Ironman Canada gave
Victoria the highest rating for its course, location and all round perfect venue. We all know the natural beauty of our area is a highlight for all participants from around the world when they participate in our many marathons and other sporting events throughout the year. Wouldn’t you think that an event of this magnitude, with the financial benefits it would bring to our area, that the provincial government, along with strong input from all municipalities in our area, would have enthusiastically endorsed our bid rather than idly sitting back, leaving just a few local interested parties to pursue the bid on their own? Maybe it’s for the best, as families from the Mainland would probably not be able to afford to come over to share in the excitement of this world-class event because of the atrocious
fare prices of our B.C. Ferries. Martin Battle Victoria
Children victimized in Syrian civil war Today, I am ashamed to be Canadian. I am appalled and disgusted that Canada is not doing more to help children in Syria. While I sit and pay for Stephen Harper’s salary and spending account, hundreds of children are dying by the day. What is the media doing to support them? Is the media applying pressure to the federal government to mobilize aid? As a Canadian citizen, I increase your ratings by turning on the news. When do you do something for me? I’m asking that you help these children, draw as much attention to their plight as you possibly can. Tell Canadian citizens what it
is they can do to help. Somebody needs to get to those children, any way they can. Rachelle Dallaire Langford
Sewage project latest Campbell legacy fiasco Should anyone be surprised that the B.C. Appeal Court has thrown out the ludicrous thirdparty advertising law that Gordon Campbell crafted? It joins the turfing-out of his drinking-driving curbside justice fiasco, his shredding of the teachers’ contracts and several others. And they join his brilliant policies like the carbon tax and the phony $100 rebate that came with it, his compulsory balancedbudget legislation, the payment of $5 million in legal fees for the defendants who pleaded guilty in the B.C. Rail scandal, his fixed election dates, $600-million
roof for B.C. Place, his closing of Tourism B.C., open cabinet meetings and dozens of equally bizarre decisions that he and his cabinet colleagues decided were so appropriate. Perhaps people will now understand how much thought went into the Campbell/Penner orders that we should spend $1 billion treating sewage effluent that is already – almost perfectly – being treated in the ocean off our southern shores. Too bad he also eliminated the requirement for a referendum, or for any environmental/economic/ social impact study, because neither would pass. When will some of our elected officials summon up the courage to start telling the truth and stop this project? Or, is the stampede of the politically correct lemmings irreversible?

It’s easy to take for granted the community newspaper that gets delivered to your door twice a week. Readers should know, however, that Black Press doesn’t take the people who distribute the Oak Bay News for granted. “For me the carriers are number one,” says Black Press Greater Victoria circulation director Bruce Hogarth, who oversees about 1,100 delivery people throughout the system. “Without the carriers, all the hard work that goes into producing the newspaper would be for naught.”

THE CANADIAN SCOTTISH REGIMENT (PRINCESS MARY’S)
Bus strike will affect commuters Daniel Palmer News staff
Bus drivers in Greater Victoria have scrapped their uniforms in favour of street clothes. The uniform ban was sanctioned by the Canadian Auto Workers local 333. "We're trying to do everything we can without disrupting service," said union local president Ben Williams. "We're not getting their attention." The drivers' job action will escalate by Tuesday if B.C. Transit has not returned to the negotiating table, Williams said. "It will affect the commuting public." More than 650 bus drivers, skilled trades and maintenance workers in Greater Victoria issued strike notice last Friday (Oct. 5). The two sides remain at an impasse over wage increases and benefits, which are not in line with the B.C. government's
net zero mandate, said Transit spokesperson Meribeth Burton. "We asked the bargaining committee to go and speak to other unions. There seems to be a lack of understanding about what the co-operative gains mandate is," she said. The negotiating mandate requires unions to offset any wage increases with cost savings and productivity gains in other areas. Both the B.C. Nurses Union and B.C. Government Employees Union have come to tentative contract agreements under the mandate. "Our (offer) is exactly in line with the nurses (and) the BCGEU and we're still surprised we're sitting at this impasse," Burton said. Williams, however, said the union is aware of the government's restraints. "We are within the guidelines that are laid out with the government," he said.
No specific bargaining details are being provided by either side, but both Williams and B.C. Transit have expressed a desire to return to negotiations. Burton called the uniform ban a safety violation, from B.C. Transit's perspective. "It's confusing for our riders but we're grateful that at least the system is running," she said. Greater Victoria transit operators last took strike action in April 2001. The strike lasted 14 days. Previous strikes affecting passengers took place in 1999 (one week) and 1984, when a threemonth walkout crippled the economy of downtown Victoria. HandyDART drivers are under a separate collective agreement and are not part of the job action. – with files from Roszan Holmen dpalmer@vicnews.com PLEASE SEE: Our View, Page A6
Nominees face off for NDP spot Daniel Palmer News staff
A sea of orange flooded the sanctuary of First Metropolitan Church on Quadra Street Tuesday night, with an estimated 500 people packing the pews to hear four nominees who hope to fill the shoes of Denise Savoie. The federal NDP's sole nominee debate took place between four candidate hopefuls – Murray Rankin, Elizabeth Cull, Ben Isitt and Charley Beresford – in the run-up to its nomination vote Sunday (Oct. 14) to select a candidate for the upcoming Victoria byelection. Moderated by Murray Langdon, the debate lasted just over an hour and consisted of audience questions and opening and closing statements by each nominee. The nominees largely agreed on crowd-pleasing issues like the creation of affordable housing, the need to create stronger partnerships with First Nations, food security, electoral reform and environmental protection. In one of the few standout moments of the debate, Rankin ran circles around the other nominees when they were asked to tout their official second language skills.
Rankin is an environmental lawyer and currently leading the B.C. NDP's attempt to stop the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline. He has the support of several NDP MLAs. Cull served as both finance and health minister in the Mike Harcourt provincial government and say as Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA from 1989 to 1996. She is supported by Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca MP Randall Garrison. Beresford previously served as a Victoria school board trustee and is currently executive director of the Columbia Institute, a policy group focused on sustainable communities and leadership. Isitt is an outspoken Victoria city councillor and was last to enter the race. He has been involved in numerous grassroots campaigns and has worked locally for the Cool Aid Society and on several NDP campaigns. For a minute-by-minute recap of Tuesday's meeting, search #yyjNDP on Twitter. The federal NDP nomination vote, open to the estimated 1,200 Victoria party members, takes place in the Michelle Pujol Room at the University of Victoria starting at 1 p.m. Sunday. A byelection was called after Denise Savoie stepped down for health reasons in August. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Inmates find purpose in the world of Tolkien Prison production of The Hobbit celebrates 75th anniversary Kyle Wells News staff
The vast expanses of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth may be hard to imagine from life inside a prison, but for the inmates of William Head Institution, putting on The Hobbit has been a journey all their own. Under the direction of Kate Rubin, the William Head Stage Theatre Society is performing Rubin’s adaptation of Tolkien’s beloved novel from Oct. 12 to Nov. 1 at the prison, 6000 William Head Rd. Rubin has been involved as an actor with two plays at the minimum-security prison before, including last season’s Gormenghast. This year she was asked to direct, and she gladly accepted.
On this, the 75th anniversary of the publication of the novel, Rubin’s post-industrial adaptation takes a unique look at the tale. The story and dialogue remain true to the source material, but costumes and sets are meant to reflect a more contemporary working-class sensibility. The tone of the play touches on subjects more common to Kyle Wells/News staff recent newspaper headlines Actor Bronwyn Steinberg plays than Tolkien’s Middle-earth. “It relates to the devastation an elven queen in Kate Rubin's that can happen from greed,” post-industrial take on The Hobbit Rubin said. “The environmen- being performed at William Head tal devastation, the social Institution from Oct. 12 to Nov. 10. devastation, things breaking down so that there becomes these The cast is made up of inmates, creatures like Gollum, who has plus three professional actresses lost his humanity.” who are brought in to play the
female roles. Monica Prendergast, Anne Cirillo and Bronwyn Steinberg have come in as professional actors and two professionals are also involved in the crew: Carole Klemm, the designer, and puppeteer Tim Gosley. Admitting she was at first a bit nervous to work with the prisoners, Steinberg, who plays the elven queen, among other parts, said the experience has been overwhelmingly positive and has reinvigorated her love of theatre and its more human aspects. She has been amazed to see the enthusiasm and commitment of the inmates. “Even in just the few weeks that I’ve been involved you can see they’ve been building confidence and also just a sense of ownership and agency,” Steinberg said. “You can see them just growing through the show and through the process.”

Rubin too, said it’s amazing to see the transformative power of theatre and just how beneficial the process of putting on a play is for the inmates. Many come into the process shy and unsure, Rubin said, but by the end are proud to have been a part of something positive and productive. “They want to give and they don’t get that opportunity very much,” Rubin said. “Especially someone who feels shame for what they’ve done, and if they’ve come through that shame, there’s a huge need to give.” Tickets are $20 and are available at Ticket Rocket, 2-1609 Blanshard St., My Chosen Cafe, 4480 Happy Valley Rd., online at TicketRocket. org or by phone at 250-391-6291.

Acclaim takes second place excellent, but it was apparent to Evamy that it might be time to take the next step as an artist. She found the vacant space on Oak Bay Avenue and scrubbed, renovated and painted the tiny space into what is now a thriving, yet unpretentious gallery in the heart of Oak Bay. Evamy has used the Red Gallery to not only showcase her own work, but as a vehicle to promote other local artists and causes. She has worked with the Garth Homer Artworks program (a program that uses visual art to work with developmentally challenged adults), the Trent Street Art Therapy program, the Four Cats Children Show, and a show that involved Grade 11 art students from Glen Lyon Norfolk School. That last group was paired with seniors from the Shannon Oaks Retirement home and the result was a series of portraits of the seniors, painted by their young partners. Several other artists work
Continued from Page A1
It’s not the first time that Evamy has been honoured in this way. In 2008, she won the Show Designer award and in 2009 she was awarded Sidney’s Best in Show. With this year’s win, Evamy is destined to be raised to the masters category, a recognition of her talent that will, unfortunately, preclude her work receiving any future awards in the Sidney Fine Art Show. “Marion’s work stands out because of its quality,” said Sandy Bligh, chair and designer of the Sidney show. “As a master she can’t win any more awards, but I know we’ll see more of her pieces in the future. Her work is happy … bright and colourful. It’s always an attraction.” The true measure of Evamy’s success as an artist might be gauged by the success of her tiny gallery on Oak Bay Avenue. The Red Art Gallery opened its doors on Feb. 16, 2011, but the story of the gallery really began four months earlier, when some 300 people made their way through Evamy’s home as part of the Oak Bay Artists Fall Studio Tour. Sales had been

with Evamy to display their work at the Red Art Gallery, including Deb Garlick, Jennifer Harwood and Lucy Schappy. One of the artists, Leonard Butt, has established a reputation for his stunning pottery and ceramic sculptures. His work is on display at the Red Art Gallery, and is also slated to win a major award at the Sidney Fine Art Show. While it’s clear that Evamy has achieved a remarkable record of accomplishment in the six years that she’s been in Oak Bay, for her it’s not about critical acclaim, or how many painting’s she’s sold. “It’s not work for me,” she said. “It’s a joyful experience that gives me a chance to touch others in a very personal way. How can you lose?” More information on Evamy and the Red Art Gallery can be found at redartgallery.ca reporter@vicnews.com

Omwenga doubles Adam Campbell well-suited to task Travis Paterson News staff
Kenyan Thomas Omwenga won the GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon for the second year in a row on Sunday, but his record stands from 2011. Omwenga finished the course on an “unseasonally warm” day with a time of two hours, 20 minutes and 41 seconds, which is six minutes slower than his record of 2:13:44 set in 2011. Gilbert Kiptoo, another Kenyan, came second at 2:27:01. Portland’s Hallie Janssen was the top woman with a time of 2:47:03, just 33 seconds ahead of Nadyia Fry (Invermere), the second-overall woman. The two were 14th and 15th overall, with Victoria’s Catrin Jones the third woman and 19th overall finisher in a time of 2:49:02. Easily the most fashionable effort from Sunday’s 33rd annual Victoria Marathon was Adam Campbell’s impressive time of 2:35:53. Campbell, a lawyer and ultramarathoner from Victoria, managed not to overheat under autumn sun while wearing a suit, blazer and tie. He should qualify for the Guinness World Records fastest marathon in a suit, breaking the previous time 3:24.

Thomas Omwenga, left, Gilbert Kiptoo and Philip Samoei take the early lead at the 33rd Annual GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon on Oct. 7. Other notables include Vancouver’s Graeme Wilson, third overall in the marathon. Wilson was the top B.C. runner and the top men’s master with a time of 2:29:17, winning the B.C. marathon championship. First time marathoners, Nikki Jomha and Greg Robbins, two locals featured in the News’ fall series On the Run, finished the race in 4:21:26 and 3:57:40, respectively. Barefoot runner Derek Shaw, also part of On the Run, completed the halfmarathon in 2:09:47. Natasha Fraser outdueled Lucy Njeri and broke her own course record in the half-marathon from 2011, with a new record of 1:14:06 to Njeri’s 1:14:27. Rutto Kibet (Edmonton) was the top
male in the half-marathon with a time of 1:04:27, with Victoria’s Geoff Martinson running to second in 1:05:39. Local Jim Finlayson was the top master runner in the half-marathon, his first run in the over-40 master category, finishing in 1:08:51, eighth overall. Chris Winter (Vancouver) won the eight kilometre road race in 24:13. Rachel Cliff (Vancouver) was the top woman at 27:43 Registration numbers: 2,056 registered for the marathon, 5,503 for the half, 2,844 in the eight-km, 1,100 in the Thrifty Foods Kids Run, for a total of 11,503.

Runnin’ Rebel on record pace Travis Paterson News staff

Rebels running back Greg Morris is eyeing the BCFC record for total yards rushed in a season.
Greg Morris can expect some added attention this weekend. Breaking a 13-year-old Canadian Junior Football League rushing record will do that. The Westshore Rebels running back carried the ball 24 times against the Kamloops Broncos, in Kamloops on Saturday, to an astounding 405 yards, scoring four touchdowns along the way, including a 91-yard scamper. Morris now leads the league in rushing with a total of 1,471 yards and 17 touchdowns scored. The Rebels move to seven wins and two losses, second place in the B.C. Football Conference standings. The win also eliminated the Broncos from their playoff hopes. With one regular season game remaining, all that’s left to decide for the Rebels is home advantage in the upcoming playoff semifinal against the Langley Rams. This Saturday the Rebels visit the Vancouver Island Raiders, while the Rams face the Okanagan Sun. Playing against the Raiders in the final game of Morris’ career year is fitting. It was with the Raiders that current B.C. Lions running back Andrew Harris
broke the 400-yard mark during the 2008 playoffs. And even though Saturday’s game bears no outcome on the Raiders’ plans (they’ll host the Sun in the other semifinal), Morris and the Rebels can expect a strong defensive effort from the Raiders. Morris needs to run the ball 122 yards to break Matt Medwick’s BCFC rushing record of 1,592 yards in a season, set with the Valley Huskers in 2000. However, five yards is all Morris needs to take Harris’ spot behind Medwick on the season list, ahead of Harris’ best season in 2009. Surprisingly, the previous single game rushing record in the BCFC, now held by Morris, was not Harris’, but was actually 338 yards, set by Eric Scott of the Richmond Raiders in 1985. Harris broke 338 in the playoffs, but not during the regular season. Morris also added 50 yards to the previous Canadian record of 355-yards, accomplished by Craig Carter of the Windsor AKO Fratmen in 1999. Fourteen of Morris’ 17 touchdowns this year are from the rush, which likely puts him out of reach of Harris’ 2009 BCFC league record of 20 TDs rushed, 24 TDs in total. sports@vicnews.com
The Camosun Chargers men’s golf team is going to the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association Golf National Championships. The Chargers led the PacWest conference with a five-stroke lead going into the fourth and final tournament over Thanksgiving. That’s where the host Fraser Valley Cascades defeated the Chargers in a tie-breaker to win the 2012 PacWest championship. Despite slipping to second place in the season’s standings the Chargers will attend the nationals, Oct. 15 to 19, hosted at the Oshawa Golf Club by Durham College in Oshawa, Ont. “It was a tough weekend for us,” Chargers coach John Randle said in the team’s press release. “It came right down to the wire and we didn’t get it done.” After the first round of the UFV Invitational at Chilliwack Golf and Country Club, the Chargers led the cumulative season standings by nine strokes, with one round to go to win the championship. That’s when the lead crumbled. UFV caught the Chargers on Day 2 and, with a cumulative season total of 2,354 strokes each after four tournaments, the two went to a tie-breaker, which UFV won. “All things considered, the guys played hard and conducted themselves as gentlemen and they represented Camosun with class and skill,” Randle said. The Chargers settled for silver in the team standings but Jarred Callbeck, who was twice named the PacWest golfer of the week this year, won the men’s gold medal. Callbeck shot a cumulative total of 578 over 144 holes in the fall season, five strokes better than Aaron Pauls of UFV. The Chargers men’s team are Callbeck (Claremont secondary), Jared Hundza (Pacific Christian School), Kevin Walz (Kwalikum secondary, Qualicum), Grant Maskiewich (Smithers secondary) and Kevin Bredy (Sir Winston Churchill, Calgary, Alta). sports@vicnews.com

Victoria Royals Logan Nelson, No. 19, and Brandon Magee, No. 18, celebrate a preseason goal versus the Vancouver Giants. Don Denton News staff

Until the buzzer sounds First-place Victoria Royals finding identity Travis Paterson News staff
Call them clutch, call them competitive, call them whatever you want, the Victoria Royals are winning. Through the first eight games the Royals had six wins, half of those came in extra time. Forward Logan Nelson is one of the most visible reasons the team is off to a great start. The 19 year old is playing noticably more physical and is chipping in timely goals, like the one he scored to tie the game against the Tri City Americans with 35 seconds left on Saturday to make it 3-3. He then scored the only goal of the shootout to cap a come-from-behind 4-3 victory. It was his second shootout winner this year. “I’ve been lucky in the shootout, getting bounces I guess,” Nelson said. All in all, it was a solid three games in three nights road trip for the Royals, as they bounced back from a 5-3 loss to the Spokane Chiefs on Friday to beat the Americans Saturday and Vancouver Giants 2-1 on Sunday. “I really liked the adjustments
we made on Saturday and the resiliency we showed (after Friday’s loss),” Lowry said. “We had a goal called back on the powerplay but came back and scored again, and that’s a good sign.” Saturday was also the second time this season Nelson scored the only goal of the shootout, thereby winning the game for the Royals (in partnership with goalie Patrik Polivka, who has let in zero goals on six shootout attempts). Nelson’s other shootout goal was against the Kamloops Blazers on Sept. 28, also a 4-3 win. “We’re much better at staying positive and if they get a goal, we know it’s not the end of the world,” Nelson said. “We’re not going to give up until the buzzer goes, especially when the other team thinks they’ve got the win.” Without Steven Hodges, who was perhaps the team’s best player in the first three games before getting injured, the recent success of Nelson and the Royals is all the more impressive. As of Wednesday morning, Nelson was second in team scoring with three goals and six assists, behind Alex Gogolev’s three goals and eight assists. “It’s been up to the older guys to pick it up. We definitely miss Steve in the lineup,” Nelson said.

“Gogolev has been great. He’s got eyes in the back of his head finding guys out there.” With Hodges out, Nelson moved off of Gogolev’s line and, onto a line with Jamie Crooks and Austin Carroll, though Nelson and Gogolev have skated together on the powerplay and with the extra attacker. “I’ve been able to be compatible with (Crooks) and (Carroll) and game-by-game, we’re getting better,” Nelson said. Trend or no trend, coming back from behind and winning in extra time is the biggest difference from last year’s Royals, and coach Dave Lowry isn’t picky right now about the way his team wins. “This is a team searching for an identity right now,” Lowry said, “coming from behind, winning close games, winning in shootouts. When you’re winning you’re looking for new ways to challenge the team just as you would when you’re losing.” The Royals results from Wednesday’s game against the Kamloops Blazers were past press time. sports@vicnews.com
