Anti-abortion vigils spark controversy
Boxer breaks family tradition
MLA seeks protective zone to increase around clinics Kyle Wells News staff
Recent and ongoing tensions surrounding pro-life vigils in View Royal have its MLA asking for an increase to the protective zone around abortion clinics. Maurine Karagianis, MLA for Esquimalt-Royal Roads, is trying to drum up support for her quest to change legislation and have the access zone around abortion clinics increased from 50 metres to 60 metres. Currently, for specified clinics, pro-life protestors are not allowed to campaign within 50 metres of the clinic. Karagianis strengthened her resolve after an incident on Oct. 10 when West Shore RCMP received a complaint from View Royal’s Vancouver Island Women’s Clinic where a protestor had entered the clinic. RCMP are currently investigating the incident. “(Clinic staff) are very concerned about the really aggressive nature of the protestors,” Karagianis said. “The clinic is asking for the bubble zone to be increased so that they can push some of those protestors further back.” Vigil co-ordinator Alex Berns could not confirm a member of his group entered the clinic but was aware of a complaint. He said the vigils are peaceful and do not aim to blame. “(Karagianis is) supposed to be supporting my freedom of speech at the same time,” Berns said. “She needs to speak for us too.” Previous vigils were held on the north-west side of the intersection, in front of a housing complex, resulting in many complaints from and run-ins with residents.

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF
Partnership focuses on training young workers
Horgan opts out of leadership bid
J
erome Thomas bounced around between a number of different industrial companies before finding his future with Salish Sea Industrial Services. Soon into his new job, Thomas and, more importantly his employers, realized he had a natural ability for pile driving. Thomas is now in the second year of his apprenticeship to become fully ticketed. “I have an eye for the piles being straight,” Thomas said. “I see it as a career now, not as a job.” Salish Sea Industrial, a joint company between the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations, is celebrating 17 months of operation and approximately $9 million worth of work so far. Its focus on training First Nations youth entering the workforce is being touted as a model to help communities move forward and engage young people. “We had the wood industry and the fishing industry before to lean on, but now there’s no more wood, no Kyle Wells more fish, so we’re trying to Reporting find the next economy for the next 100 years,” said Esquimalt Nation Chief Andy Thomas. “We’ve been invisible for too long and we need to have these chances.” As a water-based business, Thomas said it’s also the perfect fit for the First Nations communities, which have traditionally been tied to the water. The two communities also have traditional ties to each other, as both are Lkungen people and were once a single community. Songhees and Esquimalt have a 51 per cent controlling interest in the company and a board of directors made up of members of the communities, along with Ralmax Contracting Ltd., which owns the other 49 per cent. The company provides opportunities for training in a variety of trades and positions. Every time a job opens up it is posted first in the First Nations communities, before being opened to the general public. Out of about 24 employees, 15 are First Nations. Of those, eight work in the marine construction department, which installs pilings and does marine construction, such as building docks and bridges. Songhees director of operations Christina Clarke said government programs to help First Nations communities simply aren’t working, and for these two First Nations groups to come together and take a chance with unique ventures such as this is momentous. “We need to generate revenue and do it in a meaningful way, to really provide education and help programs … based on our priorities and not on the priorities of someone sitting in
John Horgan will focus more on his Juan de Fuca riding and less on the province as a whole. The MLA announced last Wednesday that he would not run as provincial NDP party leader. Horgan, 54, said he’s already committed to a four-year term and running for leadership would be mean eight years. “I may well run again, but I am not sure,” said Horgan, who joined the NDP party when he was 24. “I felt it was best to get out of the way for our younger members,” Horgan said. “It will open up the party to new ideas. It was imperative I made this announcement to clear the field.”

Undersea Gardens, a floating fixture on Victoria’s Inner Harbour since 1969, is closed. The floating attraction, known for its live octopus show and local marine species in saltwater tanks, had its final day last Wednesday. Owner Oak Bay Marine Group, which celebrated its 50th anniversary this year, made the decision to close the aging vessel after doing a review of all of the company’s properties, said spokesperson Susan Barcham. “It’s been a tough summer for us,” she said. “We lost our founder (Bob Wright) and regrouping and rebuilding has been a process. Everybody understands that these tough decisions have to be made occasionally, but these decisions have to be made so we can be stronger for the future.” ddescoteau@vicnews.com

A second fire won’t stall the reopening of Inferno Chophouse and Bar.

“It appears the fire started in an area housing uniforms and rags,” said Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz, West Shore RCMP spokesperson. The fire is deemed accidental and not suspicious. The August fire is still under investigation. Renovations remain on track and Inferno expects to reopen Nov. 1. charla@goldstreamgazette.com
Victoria BC – If your home has just come off the market and hasn’t sold, don’t be discouraged. The reason your home did not sell may have nothing to do with your home or the market. In reality, your home may have been one of the more desirable properties for sale. So Why Didn’t Your Home Sell? Last year many of the homes listed for sale never sold at all, and many sellers found that there was a tremendous amount a homeowner needed to be educated on to sell their home for top dollar in the shortest time period. Don’t risk making the wrong choices and losing both time and money on your investment. Before you hire a realtor,

After decades of do-si-do-ing Colwood couple hangs up shoes Charla Huber News staff
Pulling dress after dress out of her closet, Marion Roberts relives her square dancing days. As each garment passes her fingers, Marion’s eyes light up. “You just go to the beat of the music,” she says. Slipping into song, “da, ta, da da,” the 92-year-old quickly shuffles her feet to the tune. She danced for decades and spent significant time behind the sewing machine creating co-ordinated costumes for her and husband Donald. “I loved it. ... When that caller comes out with the microphone your feet start to move,” she said stepping her feet and singing some more. Sifting through the closet is bittersweet for Marion who gave up square dancing about five years ago after her husband suffered a stroke and couldn’t participate any longer. Now she’d like to find other square dancers in town who could make use of her costumes instead of having the reminders in a closet. Fittingly the couple met at a YMCA dance in Victoria. Marion was attending the dance with some co-workers hoping to meet some navy men. Donald fit the bill, and the pair were inseparable until he had to go back to Alberta. They exchanged letters for a few months and the next time they met, he gave

Vision Matters Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.
Dr. Cameron McCrodan, Dr. Brent Morrison, Dr. Ann-Marie Stewart and Dr. Chris Snow
Eye Strain
From the moment you wake up in the morning, to the moment you turn the light out at night, you are using your eyes for virtually everything you do. It is no wonder that sometimes your eyes get tired. Symptoms of eye strain include headaches, light sensitivity, burning eyes and eye pain. Eye strain can result from your eyes working too hard to see clearly. Even people with 20/20 vision can benefit from glasses if their eyes are focusing all the time to get that clarity. For example, far sighted people have more difficulty seeing things that are close to them because their eyes are focusing much harder than normal to see near objects. Headaches and eye fatigue when reading could easily be eliminated by the use of reading glasses. If you are suffering from eye strain, having a complete eye exam could determine the cause of your discomfort and provide a solution. A change in your existing prescription may make all the difference, especially if you have not updated your spectacle lenses in a long time. Eye problems do not usually go away by themselves. Visiting your optometrist can give you the assurance that you have the exact prescription required for clear and comfortable vision.

OUR VIEW
Gambling policy at odds with health The B.C. government collects significant revenue from gambling in all of its forms, yet is also responsible for protecting its most vulnerable citizens. Such a quandary places at odds a finance ministry charged with balancing the provincial budget with a health ministry whose mandate is to not only care for the sick, but to promote wellness within the population. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall’s report outlining the government’s shortcomings in addressing problem gambling in B.C. raised our eyebrows. Not only did the document paint a vivid picture of how addiction develops – primarily, but not limited to fast-play electronic slot machines – it hinted at problems which may develop in future, such as the online grooming of teens and young adults to become regular gamblers. For as long as there have been outcomes to bet on in this province, whether it be mah-jong, horse races, 6/49 tickets or sports games, a certain segment of the population has taken that opportunity to the extreme and spent more than they should on the pastime. For decades, the B.C. Lottery Corporation has promoted gambling in various forms, while only relatively recently adding the tagline to its ads, “Know your limit, play within it.” Clearly, the government has little appetite to distance itself from what has become a major cash cow that funds a broad spectrum of services. The best way to solve the problem gamblers conundrum is to create an arm’s-length organization to work with the health ministry and University of Victoria-based Centre for Addictions Research to create resources and solutions aimed at reducing the effect of problem gambling on B.C. residents. Such a group would report directly to the legislature and, in theory, be free from the political interference that tends to seep into ministry-led research or initiatives. That B.C. lags well behind other provinces in funding prevention and treatment programs for addicted gamblers proves how low it is on the Liberals’ priority list. It’s time for the government to take its collective head out of the sand on this issue and take real steps to address this growing problem. What do you think?

It’s crazy! to promote the falsehood that “tar Here’s the big fact clearly stated sands” oil is vastly worse than in the study by U.S.-based Nuka that nice fair-trade Alaska stuff.

a scandal when you don’t know the answers, and it’s a scandal when you try to find them. Another question that gets little attention is whether it’s better for spilled oil to sink rather than wash up on beaches. Crude oil is, if you’ll pardon the expression, organic. Spills produce a huge spike in oil-eating bacteria that leads to an increase in fish populations at a certain stage. This was documented in a 1994 book called Degrees of Disaster, written by an expert who stayed on in Valdez for four years, long after the TV cameras and grandstanding politicians went home. Victoria-based Dogwood seized on a 2012 Nuka study done for the Haisla Nation at Kitimat, which found that in ocean conditions that are present more than half of the time, there would be no immediate way to respond to a spill at sea. Dogwood’s “no tankers campaign director” hinted that this information was intentionally left out of the B.C. government study, and the media ate it up. No tankers? Better check again. Dogwood’s mission is clearly not to protect the B.C. coast from oil spills. If it were, they would be protesting the ongoing risk from Alaska tankers.

LETTERS Speed makes a mess, creates danger for crews Over the last four weeks there have been multiple car accidents on Bear Mountain parkway due to speed. They have torn up turf, gone through gardens, and hit a light pole so hard it had to be removed because it was too dangerous to leave. My staff and I look after 14 acres of turf and all the gardens for the City of Langford, this was the best year for both. Every time I have to send my
staff out to the gardens on the parkway it becomes very dangerous, even though there are cones and road signs set up, and staff are wearing safety vests. We have had more than one close call between workers and a speeding vehicle. This reckless driving was done on dry roads at the beginning of the year. What’s going to happen when staff has to clean up all the leaves that will be coming down in a few weeks? I would like all drivers that are going up or down the parkway to slow down, and when you see
cones and road signs to please back off the gas pedal and look out for the workers. R. Crompton supervisor, Terra Worx
Secondhand smoke akin to bird poop Re: Smokers kicked to the curb (News, Oct. 9) I came to Victoria on a beautiful September afternoon in 2012 for a job interview. Walking along Douglas I was appalled by the amount of (a)
bird poop; and (b) smokers. I mentioned this during my interview and my interviewer told me, “The rain washes away the bird poop, nothing we can do about the smokers.” So far, she is right. Walking down Douglas is unpleasant because of the amount of sunny-day smokers perched on benches (i.e. in front of the Bay Centre and at the Royal Bank bus hub) and, during less clement weather, lurking beneath canopies when possible. I am a former smoker and frankly I don’t care if someone
chooses to smoke in their own environment, but I am tired of smokers imposing their habit on me in public places and spaces. The rain doesn’t wash it away. By the way, time to do something about the bird crap too. Brenda Montgomery Victoria

physical reaction to stressful circumstances. Otherwise known as the “fight-or-flight” response it includes accelerated heart and lung action, constriction of blood vessels, salivation, pupil dilation, and shaking. The shaking is always what gets to me. I can work with anxious energy, but as soon as my limbs start trembling I lose the ability to function. It becomes less of a “fight-or-flight” instinct, and more of an inability to choose between the two. Is it possible to look at the stress response as anything other than uncomfortable and debilitating? During her talk, McGonigal encouraged the audience to perceive the body’s reaction as positive; varying the thought process can transform a person’s experience with stress. “Normally we interpret these physical changes as anxiety, or signs that we aren’t coping very well with the pressure,” McGonigal said. “But what if you viewed them instead as signs that
your body was energized, was preparing you to meet this challenge?” McGonigal compared the stress response to what occurs within the body during moments of courage. For example, increased heart rate translates to one’s body preparing for action, while an increased breathing rate is a greater intake of oxygen working toward more efficient brain function. There is a concerning aspect of stress: constriction of blood vessel diameter. It is this symptom of the “flight-or-flight” response which names stress as the culprit in certain scenarios involving cardiovascular disease and fatal heart attacks. However, in the study where participants were told to consider stress helpful to their performance, blood vessels remained relaxed with a safe diameter. McGonigal stated that, “when you view stress in that way, your body believes you, and your stress response becomes healthier.”
Mindset is integral to the ongoing war with stress. McGonigal, who once demonized stress, explained, “I no longer want to get rid of your stress, I want to make you better at [it].” This message offered me an alternative. I spent so long living alongside stress that it is uncertain whether I could ever break away completely. Perhaps I should re-evaluate the relationship and consider friendship and collaboration as opposed to animosity. The largest obstacle will be transitioning my beliefs, but it does not need to be. I have always viewed mentality as inflexible, when in reality it should be malleable and elastic. There is the possibility that the lie I have ingrained in my mentality is closer to truth, and all I need to do is realize it.

David Francey breaks free KyLE SLaVIN kslavin@saanichnews.com
F YOUR MISSION:
To change lives and build our community.
olk singer-songwriter David Francey says he’s looking forward to coming to Victoria next week (Oct. 29/30) as part of his lengthy cross-Canada tour. “I’ve been there so many times over the years. There’s quite a number of people there I certainly recognize by sight who come out to the shows. “It’s always an excellent crowd in Victoria – they have a good time, they like to sing along,” Francey said. “The city itself is absolutely beautiful. It’s a nice place to spend some time.” Francey and his band are currently driving across the country, stopping everywhere from tiny Hunter River, PEI to Toronto, in support of his new album So Say We All. Francey, 58, says the album was written during a period of his life where he was going

through some deeply emotional experiences. “I lost my best friend in the world and I ended up in a
pretty low place,” he said. But through writing and recording his music, supported by a talented group of friends and musicians, he managed to break through the sadness. “I’ve always written about what’s going on with me; I don’t think this album carries in that way. The subject matter varies a bit but I tried to balance with some moments of life,” Francey said. “I’ve always had the feeling that, if you keep marching, you’ll get through to the other side. “None of the music is dark, sad or dreary. When I introduce songs (on stage) I try to make them a little bit funny, and I think that helps to balance off the weight of the lyrics.” Francey performs at Hermann’s Jazz Club next Tuesday and Wednesday. Showtime both nights is 8 p.m. Tickets ($29.50) are available at hightideconcerts.net, rmts.bc.ca or in-person at the McPherson Playhouse box office, Ditch Records or Lyle’s Place.

Antique Row revitalizes vibrancy

igns indicating Antique Row point visitors up Fort Street from Blanshard to Cook, but it’s become an antiquated term in the city. A 1960 publication About Victoria and Vancouver Island, A Unique Kaleidoscope of Facts and Fallacies about Canada’s Evergreen Playground denotes Victoria as the third largest centre for antiques in North America. “At that time, local antique businesses were members of the Victoria Antique Dealers Association,” said Michelle Harris, communications co-ordinator for the City of Victoria. “For the past 10 years, there has not been any major community initiatives to further promote Victoria’s Antique Row under that theme, however, many tourism-related websites and print brochures continue to promote the area as Antique Row.” “I think people are still looking for (the signs) and they remember them,” said Linda Martino, owner of Vanity Fair Antique and Collectible Mall. She’s owned the mall of 40 vendors for a dozen years. “Some (of the vendors) used to have stores on Fort Street but now they’ve downsized to a cabinet,” said Martino, who was also in business 20 years ago on the same block. “When I bought the mall there were 14 (antique shops) on this block alone and now I think we’re at five.” With the decline, there have been numerous rebranding efforts.

Linda Martino reflected in a silver teapot, one of the many treasures for sale in Vanity Fair Antique and Collectible Mall located on Fort Street. and 2009, the Downtown Victoria Business Association worked with merchants on Fort from Wharf to Cook streets to promote that area as Fabulous Fort. In 2011, it started promoting the 1000-block of Fort as the Mosaic Village. “We do not refer to it as Antique Row,” said Holly Lenk, manager travel media relations, Tourism Victoria. “It’s really seen the vibrancy surge up in the past few years. There’s new business openings, anytime we have that it’s showing the new diversity the new freshness.” The streetscape remains a
destination, but visitors are seeing more than the antique stores, Lenk said. From remaining antique stores to cafe’s and shops like London chef, Fort Street is still a viable – even vital – tourist stop, she said. “People want to look beyond the Inner Harbour, beyond the postcard,” Lenk added. “Things like the Dutch Bakery, that’s a fabulous showcase of the area.” While many still remember the area as Antique Row, most recognize it as Mosaic Village, agreed Martino. “We’ve got more of a village feel now.” editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Whether it’s buying/selling homes or any other business activity Integrity is the Essence of Everything Successful! This is my motto not just in business, but in life. My goal is to be committed to caring about the ‘person’ before the ‘client’, striving to go beyond what is expected of me. Real estate can sometimes be problematic, but a good agent sticks with his client through these challenging times. I am lucky to have lived on the Westshore for the past 20 years. Witnessing its transition into a vibrant community with a great mix of recreational amenities and business development has proven to be a wonderful and safe place to raise my children. My six years of real estate sales has given me the opportunity to promote the Westshore to young, growing families. I am proud to say, many are still friends today. I look forward to making many more!

She’s also served as a primary nurse on a dementia unit, and watched many a spouse break into tears not knowing what to do next. “I watched wives come in tears … there was nothing available to just drop their husband off and have a moment to themselves,” she said. “I knew that I had to do something different, so I opened an adult daycare.” Now the West Shore Senior Services group connects people with services. The group of 50 work in a variety of fields including downsizing, housing, financial, companion and home care.

The first electric bills for his Bitez Sandwich Bar at Colwood Corners left him searching for answers, and kicked off a desire to limit consumption. “The biggest push on this was my own staff and my daughter, the younger generation are more aware of energy and being more environmentally conscious.” He heard about the provincial LiveSmart BC: Small Business Program through the WestShore Chamber of Commerce and opted for the free walk-through energy assessment from a LiveSmart BC
Business Energy Advisor. The eatery owner followed recommended solutions, including replacing older lighting, and operational changes such as powering up equipment based on when it was needed, rather than at the early morning start of his day. “Installing more energy efficient lighting not only saves energy, but also saves time and maintenance costs due to the lights’ longer lifespan,” said Adrian Mohareb, the LiveSmart BC Business Energy Advisor at the WestShore Chamber of Commerce. “The behaviour changes provide savings at little to no cost, and can lead to other green actions.” That’s been the case at Bitez. “It’s really got us into a drive about everything we do here,” Kobayashi confirmed.
ARESST
He’s confident the cost of replacing lights and installing flooring to maximize the light will pay in the end. While the hydro bill is down, “now that’s become secondary.” They’ve self-imposed rules to use local suppliers. “It started a process in my own head. I thought I can really set an example here, and I feel really good about it,” Kobayashi said. “It’s a little more expensive sometimes for some things, but it’s the right thing to do.” They started the process in January 2012 and expect to finish by the end of the year. To learn more about the program contact the WestShore Chamber at 250-478-1130 and speak to a LiveSmart representative.

INFLUENZA SEASON IS HERE IMMUNIZATION CLINIC INFO
The Association for Responsible and Environmentally Sustainable Sewage Treatment
OPEN LETTER TO THE CITIZENS OF VICTORIA: YOU ARE BEING MISLED ABOUT SEWAGE TREATMENT The October 3rd media release by Georgia Strait Alliance (GSA), TBuck Suzuki Foundation (TSF), and David Suzuki Foundation (DSF) presented misinformation suggesting that Victoria’s current system of natural marine treatment needs to be replaced. In a subsequent October 4th CHEK TV news-cast, retired UVic microbiologist Dr. Ed Ishiguro presented informal test results that were neither scientifically peer-reviewed nor published. On the same newscast, CRD director Judy Brownoff cited his tests to support her promotion of the CRD’s sewage plan. ARESST offers the following documented* clarifications:
Charla Huber/News staff
The best way to protect yourself and your family from influenza this season is to get immunized. For more information or to find out if you are eligible for a FREE influenza shot: • visit www.viha.ca/flu • call the local Public Health Unit at 250-519-3490 (West Shore) • call HealthLink BC at 8-1-1 If you are eligible for a free influenza shot, please bring your Care Card to one of the local Influenza Clinics. Free influenza vaccine is also available from some pharmacists and physicians at any time during the influenza season. If you are not eligible for a free vaccine please contact your family physician or local pharmacy about vaccine availability and cost.
• Dr. Ishiguro, GSA, TSF, and DSF compared fecal coliforms in local marine sediments to fecal coliform water standards (from Health Canada, US EPA, and WHO.) • They were negligent to apply water quality standards to evaluate sediments. Their claims of contamination and threat to human health are therefore unfounded. • Their claim that human fecal coliforms traveled 2-10 km is absurd. The marine environment is hostile to coliforms from the human gut. A peer-reviewed analysis of 1700 samples found no evidence beyond 400 metres of fecal coliforms from Victoria’s outfalls. • Fecal coliforms from plants and animals exist throughout the marine environment. Their presence in sediments off William Head or Trial Island is no more related to Victoria’s outfalls than sediment coliforms off Tofino or Alaska. At an October 9th sewage meeting, in response to a query from Director Brownoff, CRD science staff reported no problems with fecal coliforms – thus contradicting Ishiguro, GSA, TSF, DSF, and herself. The CRD offers many scientific studies online confirming that Victoria’s current method of marine treatment is essentially as effective as secondary treatment. Victoria’s system already meets the objective of the new Federal regulation because there is no evidence of a threat to fish, fish habitat or human health due to consumption of fish from the waters around Victoria. Citizens should be outraged that the majority of CRD Directors voted NOT to invite experts to explain all this evidence to the sewage committee. Citizens should be equally outraged that our elected representatives are not using this abundance of scientific evidence to make the case to Ottawa that it is senseless to continue to force Victoria to build a costly and unnecessary land-based treatment system.

Lions lead girls volleyball league into playoffs
The Lambrick Park Lions senior girls volleyball team was successful in taking down top provincial talent for its third tournament win this season, coming out on top at Brentwood College. The No. 1-ranked AA Lions beat No. 1-ranked AAA Timberline in the final 25-12, 28-25. The Lions also beat G.P. Vanier, Brentwood and Belmont before taking down Pacific Christian School in the quarterfinal and Ballenas in the semifinal. One weekend prior the Lions won the Cedar tournament by defeating the hosts in the final. “Hard work beats talent, we can’t stress enough how much we work hard,” said Lions coach Chris Koutougos. “If you look at where our wins come from, we earn everything we’ve got.” There are two more weeks in the Lower Island senior girls volleyball schedule before the final power pools are decided for the region’s top tier and second tier championships, the Vic Lindal Cup and Ron Green Cup, respectively.

Bulldogs, Rams split double-bill Vancouver College eke out buzzer win over Belmont Travis Paterson News staff
Despite the pain of a last-second loss, there’s no time to dwell as the Belmont Bulldogs. The AAA Bulldogs (2-2) continues its B.C. High School Football campaign on the road against the Handsworth Royals (2-1) on Friday (Oct. 25) afternoon. The Vancouver College Fighting Irish (3-2) burned the Bulldogs 27-20 last Friday at Goudy Turf, scoring the winning touchdown at game’s end, and with no time on the clock. “If you were on the field, it was devastating. A great game to watch, but a really tough one to lose,” said Bulldogs coach Kevin Harrington. Both teams executed well, a treat for the spectators, which included the players from Handsworth and the Mount Douglas Rams, who played in the earlier game of the double-header. Running back Sam Varao was a “beast” for the Bulldogs, Harrington said. Though Varao didn’t score any touchdowns, he was instrumental in sparking the offence, especially on a late drive. Varao plowed through the Fighting Irish defence to set up a Josh Tipton touchdown to tie the game at 20-20 with 90 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Unfortunately, the Bulldogs couldn’t catch a break as the Irish marched downfield on a game winning drive in the last minute. “I’m proud of our guys. We have a core of Grade 12 players who lost this same (Fighting Irish) team 45-0 three years ago when they were juniors,” Harrington said. “We went in knowing we’ve improved a tonne and that we can hang with the better teams in the province.” Running back Jordan Worth recorded the Bulldogs’ other two touchdowns, a reception in the first half to make it 7-7 and another reception in the sec-
ond half. Hugo Louis kicked two of the three converts, as both team’s kickers missed a convert on three touchdowns, which led to the 20-20 draw.
Junior dogs in the house Belmont showed up on Saturday with its full complement of 23 players, missing a couple due to injury. Van College brought upwards of 60. Even the Mount Douglas Rams, with three provincial senior championships in the past four years, carry similar numbers with about 25 seniors. “It’s pretty cool to see us battle as most players are on the field all game playing offence and defence. We can’t be as specialized as the big programs (such as the Fighting Irish),” Harrington said. The junior varsity Bulldogs are in Nanaimo today against John Barsby. Last year the two junior teams played to a nil-nil draw.
Mt. Doug Rams quiet Handsworth Royals It was a battle of first versus second on paper, but AAA powerhouse Mount Douglas Rams proved far stronger as the No. 1-ranked high school football team in Canada (per Canadafootballchat.com) silenced the Royals 52-0 at Goudy Turf on Friday (Oct. 18). The Rams are on the road this week against West Vancouver Highlanders (0-5) on Friday. Last week’s win at Goudy started with a fast attack for the Rams, as the defence intercepted Royals’ passes three times in the first quarter. Defensive end Zach Wilkinson scored a rare touchdown to get the Rams on the scoreboard when he returned his interception 20 yards for the major. Alec Wong and Sean Waugh made the other interceptions. “We challenged our defensive backfield to improve over the previous week,” said coach Mark Townsend in his team report. “We had a great week of practice in preparing against a

Marcus Davis added three more touchdowns on Friday. well-coached and potent Handsworth air attack and responded extremely well.” Running back Julian Luis led the Rams defence with six tackles while the Rams sacked Handsworth’s quarterback four times. Offensively, Luis and Pato Vega each rushed for a touchdown and Luis also caught one of Ashton MacKinnon’s two TD passes. Ever-dangerous Marcus Davis was limited in his deployment. On just five touches he continued his outstanding campaign with three touchdowns, one on the rush, one a pass reception and one on the punt return, totalling 167 all-purpose yards gained. Kicker Callum Duke converted all seven touchdowns and nailed a 48-yard field goal to end the first half.

New boxer hits nationals
M
ost days Jacob Varga trains twice at Olsen’s Gym in Colwood. Shy of a year in the ring, the Saanich resident is already boxing his way to nationals. He started training in January, weaning out some habits from his teen years spent kickboxing. “I stopped when I was 16 because I got bored with it,” he said, adding his family had continuously encouraged him to return to the sport. “I always wanted to try boxing, but as a kid everyone I knew was always kickboxing.” When not training in the gym, Varga runs with his older Charla Huber brother – world champion Reporting kickboxer Gabriel Varga – tackling Mount Doug or doing sprints at the University of Victoria. It didn’t take long for the younger Varga to get used to being in the same ring, with different rules. “Boxing is a different sort of style. It’s the same punches but there’s different movement in the ring,” he said. The fast-tracked boxer – who works with children with autism outside of training – aims to earn silver and placement on the B-team at nationals, said coach Nathan Olsen. “The important thing with goal-setting is to not set them too high,” Olsen said. “If he wins gold and goes to the final team selections,

great.” The top four boxers at nationals are invited to final team selections for Team Canada in Quebec City next month. “He’s strong, athletic and he is a good combination puncher,” said Olsen. “He is also really good at controlling the pace of the fight.” Varga won gold in his division at provincials in May and dominated the ring during the Alberta Golden Gloves in September with a gold medal. To date Varga has 11 wins in 14 bouts. Nationals are this week, Oct. 22 to 26, in Regina. charla@goldstreamgazette.com
