Salmon spawn hits its peak Charla Huber News staff
This year’s salmon run in the Goldstream River peaked and is starting to taper off. Each week, staff from the Goldstream Hatchery walk the river counting the spawning fish. About three weeks ago the number peaked at 25,000 chum counted in one day.
Dirty Carpets?
Last Wednesday the staff counted about 14,000. With thousands of chum still swimming up stream the hatchery staff will continue the weekly walks for a while. “The coho are still coming,” said hatchery manager Peter McCully explaining they are counted a bit differently. They are counted at a fence and the carcasses are also counted. “It’s a good year for the coho, it’s better than it’s been in a decade,” he said.

While the chum and coho numbers have been up, McCully is disappointed by the nearly nonexistent chinook. “The chinook came in early and (the numbers) are disappointing,” McCully said. In previous years less than 20 chinooks were counted. McCully has said he fears the chinook are soon to be extinct in the Goldstream River. The official fish count numbers will be released in January. charla@goldstreamgazette.com
James Derek French denied any sexual intentions towards a 14-yearold girl as he defended himself against allegations of sexual assault and sexual interference of a minor in Western Communities Courthouse, on Monday. The trial picked up from where it left off on Aug. 29, when Crown counsel had its opportunity to call witnesses. At that time the alleged victim, who can’t be identified because of her age, testified French made sexual advances on her after she became ill from drinking alcohol with French’s son and other friends at French’s Langford home. Defence lawyer Tom Morino called French to the stand. French denied any sexual intentions towards the girl, stating after she was left to sleep in his bed he only checked on her a few times to see if she was OK. He said he did kiss her on the cheek and at one point propped himself up on the bed next to her with his arm around her, but said he did so only to comfort her. He said as soon as she told him to stop he did and left her alone in the room.

Young arsonist pleads guilty The underage teen charged with arson of Savory elementary school has changed his plea to guilty. The teen, who was 16 at the time of the Sept. 11, 2011 fire, pleaded not guilty in February and just reversed his plea. The fire caused about $50,000 worth of damage to the school and 155 students were bused to different schools for three weeks during the extensive cleanup and repair. Jordan Deluca is also charged with arson. Being 19 at the time he’s being charged as an adult. Deluca pleaded not-guilty and is still before the courts. Deluca’s trial is set to start Jan. 7, 2013. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Westshore Wolves player Travis Oickle takes a shot against the Pennisula Panthers goalie during the Wolves’ home game, Nov. 7.
Wolf pups gain experience Mid way through the season, the Westshore Wolves are giving the community a reason to celebrate the return of Junior B hockey at Bear Mountain arena. “We are doing well and are happy where we are standing,” said Ken Carson, Wolves general manager. “We’ve got very good goaltending and a pretty gritty group Charla Huber of forwards. We’ve got scorReporting ers on all three lines.” The Wolves are about halfway through its first season and already have already won games against all the teams in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League, except for the Victoria Cougars, who remain undefeated in the league. “The Cougars are a well-oiled team,” Carson said. “Other than Victoria we’ve beaten ever other team in the league.”
The goal for this season is for the Wolves to win a round in the playoffs, said Carson. “We have about 25 games to go.” With nearly 20 games under the players’ pelts, the team is beginning to “find chemistry” together. The team is in its first season and only 10 of the 23 players have played in the VIJHL before. “We’ve got lots of rookies,” Carson said.
The Wolves brought home 10 wins so far this season, a huge improvement from the former Junior B team the Westshore Stingers, originally Sooke Stingers. From 2005 to 2011 the Stingers only won 10 games. “We knew we wouldn’t be them,” said Carson. “We have won more games this year than they did in three or four years.” charla@goldstreamgazette.com
Wolves for charity Keegan Hall, 10, has been growing his hair and collecting pledges to donate his hair to make a wig. He will be shaving his head at the Westshore Wolves game, Nov. 28 against the Victoria Cougars. So far he has collected about $100. The Wolves are donating $4 from each adult ticket from the game to go to the cause. All of the money will be donated to pediatric oncology in Victoria. To donate to Hall’s fundraiser call Angie Podann at 250-896-1933.

Richard Linzey, a manager with the provincial heritage branch, gives a tour of Cole Island as stakeholders begin to work with the public to come up with a plan for the former Royal Navy ammunition site.

Public workshop will help determine future of heritage site Kyle Wells News staff
Piles of bricks and lumber linger inside and out of most of the buildings on Cole Island, but that could soon change. Cole Island is a step closer to a conservation plan after the City of Colwood approved a memorandum of understanding with B.C.’s Heritage Branch laying out the process for public consultation. The purpose of the agreement is for Colwood to work with the province to find out what nearby residents would like to see done with the island with funding potentially available from the province. The goal is to finish the consultation process by the end of the year, or near to it. A workshop is in the works. “It’s just a matter of process, to allow things to carry on and to work forward,” Mayor Carol Hamilton said. Late last month the City of Colwood, with transportation from the View Royal Fire Rescue, hosted a tour of Cole Island for stakeholders and community members to see for themselves and discuss the proposed conservation work. “There really isn’t any public agreement of what the meaning of this place is, what it’s for, so we really are kind of starting from zero,” said Ken Johnson, Hallmark Heritage Society president. “I think that’s a big part of what the challenge is.” Richard Linzey, a manager with the provincial heritage branch, gave a tour of the island, running through a scenario where the guests played various types of ammunition arriving at the island and then being distributed to the various buildings on site for storage.
Cole Island began its life as the Royal Navy’s ammunition storage depot in the mid-1800s, picked for distance from the main dockyard, an important safety feature if the ammunition should ignite. Before that the island was an important seasonal camping and fishing site of local First Nations communities. The island remained a magazine complex until the end of the Second World War, when it was decommissioned. There are five remaining building in various states of disrepair, down from its peak of 17. Recent work by contractors stabilized the buildings and made them for the most part safe from water. Cole Island is owned by the province but is located in the municipality of Colwood. Heritage B.C. is carrying out the process of determining what needs to be done. “It’s really about community involvement, community engagement,” said Rick Goodacre, Heritage B.C. executive director. “What lies behind it is simply talking to people and finding out what this place means to them, what they think its value is and what would be the best way to … preserve it.” In the meantime improvements to the island continue with the help of money from provincial and federal funding and the efforts of the Friends of Cole Island group of residents. Funding earlier in the year paid for some interpretive work, the sealing of the buildings with metal plate doors and basic vegetation management. Other projects are being tackled, including potentially building a dock for easier access, clearing up debris on the island, installing a picnic table and putting up more interpretive signage. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

French frustrated over cross examination Continued from Page A1
Crown counsellor Steve Salmond accused French of “grooming� the girl, meaning he acted this way to gauge her reaction and determine how far he could go. “I’m not that kind of guy,� French said. French expressed frustration throughout the cross examination. French denied much of the girl’s earlier testimony, including her claim that at one point he tried to
remove her shorts. Another witness, who can’t be identified due to a publication ban, said he, not French, visited the girl after everyone else had gone to bed, and did rub her back for about two minutes. The witness said nothing more happened. The trial will continue at a later date, decided after News Gazette deadline, when both sides will present their final submissions. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Father (and mother) knows best VGH pediatric unit opens information centre for parents
St. Mary of the Incarnation Church
COOKIE WALK
Kyle Wells News staff
Victoria General Hospital's pediatric unit is becoming more parent friendly with its new patient and parent information centre. Fourth year University of Victoria nursing students Ali Nikolejsin and Lindsay Erikson spearheaded the project as a part of their practicum with the pediatric unit. When they arrived there was no area for parents to get informational pamphlets and brochures on the unit itself, so the students set to work. “It's all health and wellness related,� said Nikolejsin. “It’s not disease focused, it’s to help get parents and families...back to their original and healthy state.� The centre is a corner display featuring pamphlets and brochures. Informational DVDs and activity booklets will also be available, all for parents with children admitted to the unit. Erikson donated original artwork to the unit for the project, which now hangs above the information centre as you enter the unit. “Just to brighten up times for kids that are sick,� Erikson said. “Bring a smile to their faces.� The pediatric unit has 20 beds and five pediatric intensive care units for children up to the age of 17.

Twins Jocelyn, left, and Samantha Sifert, 11, cut the ribbon to open Victoria General Hospital’s new information centre for the pediatric unit. dren's tertiary care unit for all of Vancouver Island. Financing for the project, about $2,000, came from the Children's Health Foundation of Vancouver Island, Tru Value Foods and Arbour Counselling Centre. Twins Samantha and Jocelyn Sifert, 11, cut the ribbon to mark the opening of the centre. They have spent a lot of time in the unit, as both were diagnosed with Graves’ disease, diabetes and later with celiac disease. Gerda Etherington, clinical co-ordinator, said the centre provides an avenue for parents to find out information at
any time and on a variety of issues. She said it's important for the parents to be involved in their child's health care and to be informed. “We practice family-centred care as much as we can here,� Etherington said. “The parents know their child the best, they know what's going on.� The information provided at the centre also allows parents to get information anonymously on a range of potentially sensitive issues, such as what to do if your child is using drugs or if they are being bullied. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW
Local issue goes national All six candidates in the Nov. 26 Victoria federal byelection have offered their thoughts on sewage treatment for the Capital Region, in one forum or another in recent weeks. If you missed hearing it in person, you can read their views on the issue on this newspaper’s Byelection sheds website. It’s not surprising broader light on that all of the have sewage treatment candidates hitched their campaign wagons to the do-it-now or wait-till-it-gets-bad camps on sewage treatment. It’s an acknowledgement by would-be MPs and their promoters that public awareness on the issue is as high as it has been since pro-treatment character Mr. Floatie achieved international notoriety. A cynic might say those trying to gain office are simply taking advantage of the momentum being built by local politicians who question the logic of building a nearly $800-million facility, rather than holding off until damage to the marine environment becomes significant. On the other hand, an optimist – one who also questions the decision to spend that kind of money on secondary treatment – might say it’s a good thing if a broader light can be shed on the marine science that has seemingly been ignored in this whole affair. Five years ago, we encouraged all affected levels of government to give the science a more thorough evaluation. We continue to hold the view that research on the impact to the marine environment is incomplete. With party leaders and other influential MPs campaigning with Victoria byelection candidates the past couple of weeks – all but Green leader Elizabeth May are from back east – we hope the whys of sewage treatment gain a higher profile in Ottawa in the near future. That may not prompt the Conservative government to rethink its ban on dumping untreated sewage into the ocean, but it may buy cash-strapped Capital Region residents some time before we have to start shelling out for a treatment facility.

It’s like

That seems pretty sensational. It would be problematic to have a gustatory banquet stimulate your taste buds with every conversation you have or book you read. But I think tasting words would be a really neat form of synesthesia to have. I’m not sure if the strength of one’s synesthesia is ever so powerful that it’s handicapping, but when I think back on my childhood and formative years, I realize my synesthesia did impact my day-today life. I wore, almost exclusively, blues, blacks, greens and greys, and shied away from purchasing anything purple, pink, orange or red. I wasn’t consciously trying to dress one particular way, I just didn’t want to wear the colours that I thought everyone else, like me, perceived to be female. Having been a synesthete since childhood, I can’t imagine living a life where I don’t harmlessly and naturally segregate colours, numbers and letters by gender. I just wish everyone else could experience what we synesthetes experience – your senses don’t know what they’re missing. Kyle Slavin is a reporter for the Saanich News. kslavin@saanichnews.com

health and lives. The increasing frequency of extreme weather events, droughts and floods is in line with what climate scientists have been predicting for decades – and evidence is mounting that what’s happening is more severe than predicted, and will get far worse still if we fail to act. Because leaders in Canada and the U.S. have, for too long, listened to fossil fuel interests and their denier minions rather than scientists, it will be more difficult than it might have been to reduce carbon emissions to the extent necessary to prevent runaway global warming. But there are many ways to protect the health of the planet and the future of humanity without destroying economies. Conserving energy and thus saving money, reducing consumption of unnecessary products and packaging and shifting to a clean-energy economy would likely hurt the bottom line of polluting industries, but would undoubtedly have positive effects for most of us. Many scientists and economists also say putting a price on carbon through carbon taxes and/or cap-and-trade is necessary. Rethinking the economy as a means and not an end in itself would also help. If America wants to retain its position as a global power, its president must listen to the people and show strong leadership at this turning point in human history. www.davidsuzuki.org.

LETTERS Cohen addressed salmon poaching Re: Salmon mystery far from solved (B.C. Views, Nov. 14). Discussing the Cohen Commission report on the decline of Fraser River sockeye salmon runs, Tom Fletcher writes, “Poaching on the Fraser? Cohen didn’t get around to that.” This is inaccurate. In Volume 2, Chapter 2, page 35, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Bruce Cohen states: “I am also concerned that Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) does not estimate illegal or unauthorized catch to use in its management of the fishery. This information could be helpful to fisheries managers in a variety of ways – for example, in directing enforcement activities, allocating fishing access, and providing postseason accounting of returns.” Justice Cohen goes on to say: “I accept the evidence of those witnesses who said that conservation is best served by proactively preventing fish from being taken illegally from the water.
Preventing the illegal taking of fish will likely involve a combination of community education and stewardship and on-the-ground enforcement activities. “Effective catch monitoring of all sectors is an important component of this plan, as is the realistic allocation and identification of food, social and ceremonial fish to Aboriginal groups. I do not want to suggest that after-the-fact investigations are not also important; they are. Indeed, enforcement activities aimed at illegal sales may provide an effective deterrent to taking fish illegally out of the water.” On page 54 of the same volume: “In my view, preventing the illegal taking of fish should be the priority consideration when DFO is faced with focusing its resource expenditure within any of the three pillars.” John Newcomb Victoria

The Belmont Young Playwrights festival is back. For the third year writing and drama students are teaming up to captivate audiences with a series of short plays. Grade 12 student Ryan White wrote and directs The Mix-Up. The story follows a character named James who gets himself into a bit of a pickle when he brags about having a girlfriend that doesn’t exist. He ends up cross-dressing act-
ing as the fictional girl names Angel. While dressed as Angel he meets a girl he falls for as has to balance his role as both James and Angel at a party. “I was writing it by myself and working on it until 2 a.m. Jokes that are funny at 2 a.m. are not always funny on stage,� said White, explaining he’s learned a lot about comedy writing through the process. Grade 12 student Lauren Cassidy is also wearing both writer and director hats in Media Mayhem.
She wrote a complicated tale of how teens live with pressure from social media. The main character is referred to as The User with other characters portraying websites. “Facebook assaults The User with useless information and Google keeps pressuring her to find out more,� Cassidy said. Each play runs about 20 minutes. The festival runs on Nov. 28 and 29 at Belmont secondary, 3067 Jacklin Rd. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and plays start at 7. Admission is by donation. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Traffic tangled in two crashes Two traffic crashes halted rush hour traffic Monday evening. At 4:06 p.m. a grey Saturn travelling northbound on Veterans Memorial Parkway entered the intersection at Goldstream Avenue on a yellow light. A Dodge pickup truck travelling south on VMP was turning left at the intersection, also on the yellow. “The Saturn collided with the passenger side of the truck,” said acting Sgt. Kathy Rochlitz, West Shore RCMP. The driver of the Saturn had minor injuries. Around 5 p.m. another crash occurred a few blocks away on Millstream Road overpass. A silver truck travelling south turned left in front of a Subaru eastbound on Millstream Road towards Goldstream Avenue. The driver of the truck was taken to hospital by ambulance. Both crashes clogged traffic and took about 45 minutes to an hour to clear. “Water pools on roads and the darkness (also factors in),” said Rochlitz. “It’s just a different time of year.” charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Talks to pick young brains Kyle Wells News staff
West Shore youth are being asked to speak their minds on everything to do with where they live at a series of workshops put on by Pacific Centre Family Services Association. The Youth Engagement Group Series is intended to provide a platform to hear from youths aged 13 to 19. "There's an awful lot of people out here who say that youth aren't being consulted about programs that impact on them," said Bill McIlroy McIlory said it can be difficult to get youth out to voice their opinions, so this series is being set up as a welcoming, fun event that will put youth first. Snacks and door prizes will be provided. Topics include local government, youth arts, services for youth and community development. A co-ordinator from Pacific Centre will lead the discussion. The results of the talk will be reported back to the larger community. The hope is the information gathered can be used to influence agencies dealing with youth on the West Shore while coming up with ways to provide more services to youth. "There's no point in a bunch of old farts like me saying 'this is what we need to do for these kids,'" said McIlroy. "Let's hear it from the kids." The groups will run every Monday night from 4 to 6 p.m. from Nov. 26 to Dec. 17, picking up again in the new year from Jan. 14 to Feb. 4. No registration is required and sessions will be held at Westshore Child, Youth and Family Centre, 345 Wale Rd. Rides are available.

As per tradition, the first weekend of December will mark a community coming together to feast. About 60 volunteers with the Salvation Army Westsong community church will cook and serve to celebrate Christmas with the 20th annual free dinner for elderly, shut-ins, single parents and anyone looking for festive entertainment, food and companionship. “We realize Christmas can be difficult for many people. Some have relatives far away … some struggle to put food on the table. Our hope is to provide com- George Katchanov panionship to people who need it,” said pastor George Katchanov. “We want to make sure we can sustain people with that kind of hope and cheer this Christmas season.” The annual dinner celebrates 20 years this year, the church took it over six years ago. “It’s not just about what you do on Sunday in the building it’s about what you do as a citizen in the community,” Katchanov said. Last year they had turkey and the trimmings alongside crafts, entertainment and small gifts for the kids enough for 300. They had 250 guests. “We’re hoping to give out as many plates as possible,” Katchanov said. The free dinner is Dec. 2 at 6 p.m. at Our Lady of the Rosary hall in Langford. Registration is not necessary. To donate to the dinner call 250-474-5967. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Entertaining ideas from Evedar’s Bistro
Aged a minimum of 29 days!!
Over the past few years, Evedar’s Bistro has earned a deserved reputation for its delicious cuisine, thanks to daytime cook Marnie Anderson and the talented chef Dan Davidge. But complementing its well-rounded breakfast, lunch and dinner menus is an equally diverse line-up of entertainment, truly making Evedar’s one of the West Shore’s favourite places. Tucked around the corner from Goldstream Avenue on Peatt Road, this “hidden jewel of the West Shore” offers an eclectic line-up of live, local music every Friday and Saturday evening, from jazz and blues to Flamenco Latin guitar. Owners Marc and Fran Jinnouchi have also planned an exciting line-up of special events this winter, beginning with a special Christmas dinner show Dec. 19, starring none other than Elvis! The Vegas-style show was so popular it sold out within days, prompting the addition of a second night Dec. 20. Coming up for New Year’s is a special three-course dinner from Chef Dan that includes a glass of bubbly at midnight, three sets of multi-genre blues from the West Coast Blues Doctors, and a complementary drive home, Fran notes. Come March, Evedar’s will offer a little “southern hospitality” with a Southern Heat Mardi Gras evening of jazz and a special three-course “bayou jambalaya” menu from Chef Dan. Entertainment will come from some of today’s finest jazz musicians, playing music reminiscent of the South and New Orleans. Maureen Washington, who has become a familiar voice at the bistro over the past
three years, will offer her vocal talents, backed by Karel Roessingh on piano, Joey Smith on Bass and Damian Graham on drums. “There’s always something happening and it’s more than music; you can have a dining experience as well,” Fran says. Keeping the West Shore’s families in mind, Evedar’s is launching a Sunday Family Karaoke program from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. Dec. 2, featuring a cover charge of $15 for adults and $9 for children under 12, which includes an all-you-can-eat soup, salad and sandwich bar. And Tuesdays are turned over to the Pasta Only Menu, where starting at $7, you can mix and match your pasta and sauces – all home-made – including glutenfree choices. Between now and Christmas, Evedar’s is also offering free wine corkage on Pasta Night, meaning you can reserve ahead and bring your own wine, without paying an opening fee. “We want to be a social hub, where you come to get to know your neighbours,” says Jeremy, Marc and Fran’s son, who provides service to both regular daytime and evening patrons. And as a popular spot for community events, those looking to book their holiday parties should do so quickly while there’s still space!

A literary classic reimagined 1.9.8.4. offers unique local take on Orwell’s dystopian novel Daniel Palmer News staff
Having produced more than 20 plays at Craigdarroch Castle, Metro Theatre and McPherson Playhouse, Ian Case knows a thing or two about what makes good theatre. He also has a knack for finding the horror in everything. It’s perhaps no surprise, then, that Case’s production of George Orwell’s 1984 zeroes in on the physical horrors of Big Brother’s absolute grip on power. “(The story) is a very stark reminder of humanity’s ability to be inhuman to humanity,” Case said. Written by David Elendune, 1.9.8.4. – read as “one, nine, eight, four” to evoke less connection to the year – uses the backdrop of a futuristic dystopia called Victory City. Case said the audience will notice “gentle implications” of familiar Victoria sights sprinkled throughout the play – think cherry blossoms in Spring – as the torrid love affair develops between Winston (Eric Holmgren)

Tito Martin-Nemtin, left, Christine Karpiak, Ariel Slack and Randi Edmundson in Giggling Iguana Productions’ 1.9.8.4. and Julia (Ariel Slack). “Every adaptation I’ve ever seen has this sort of post-industrial era grunge to it, as if they were trying to set the action of the story in Orwell’s time, rather than actually looking at it as if it were Orwell’s future,”
Case said. The adaptation is Elendune’s first, although the career writer has six plays (including Good Night, Uncle Joe) and a novel under his belt. He chose 1984 for its iconic value as “that
teenage novel that sits on the wall along with Pink Floyd and hangs over us for the rest of our lives.” That, and there weren’t any copyright restrictions. “It’s a bit like covering a song, and “It’s a bit there’s no point like covering a doing a strict cover, song, and there’s you have to put your slant on it,” no point doing a own Elendune said. The slant includes strict cover, you themes of love have to put your the and hope between own slant on it.” the two protagonists - David Elendune in the face of nihilism. “The real key question is, can you stop people from loving one another? That’s the real core of the story,” he said. 1.9.8.4. runs until Dec. 2 at the Intrepid Theatre Club, 2-1609 Blanshard St. Tickets are $20 for general admission and $16 for students and seniors. A pay-what-you-can evening takes place Nov. 28, with partial proceeds supporting Langham Court Theatre. Find tickets at ticketrocket.org or call 250590-6291. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Bentall brings Cariboo to town If Barney Bentall and the Legendary Hearts took over the Grand Ole Opry, and invited all of their friends for one heck of a show, you’d end up with Barney Bentall’s Grand Cariboo Opry. The cast this year will include Ridley Bent, Dustin Bentall, Kendel Carson, Wendy Bird and more. Over the past five years Bentall’s opry has raised $37,800, which was shared between the Sidney Lions food bank and the Mustard Seed Food Bank. Last year the concert raised more than $10,000. This year’s show is on Saturday Nov. 24 at the First Metropolitan Church, 932 Balmoral Rd. in Victoria. Tickets are $30 and are available at Lyle’s Place and online at eventbrite.com. llavin@vicnews.com

A bloody good time Sinful singer Theodore Trout, alternative-rock DJ, longtime agent provocateur of The Fish Show, and crazed animator, has released his spawn. Five years in the making, Trout’s faithful retelling of Bram Stoker’s Dracula through a vibrant new lens is at once a thrilling riff and an eye-popping feat of indie filmmaking. Vampire maven Zahir Blue claims, “Dracula Lord of the Damned looks like it was done on a budget that would pay for maybe a nice car, but with a startling imagination behind it. Every frame looks amazing, with imagination taking the place of expensive digital effects. Here is a Dracula demonic yet human, sexual and predatory, deluded, horrific, alien and somehow tragic.” Whether you’re a horror fan, a vampire lover, an indie film-ophile, or just out for a ripping good time, see Dracula, Lord of the Damned, Nov. 26, at the Victoria Event Centre, 1415 Broad St. Doors open at 7:30, screening at 8 p.m. Tickets are $10 at the door or for advanced tickets, contact Kirsty Barclay at kmbarclay@yahoo.com or 250-508-7739. This is an all-ages, licensed venue (suggested for mature audiences). Fangs, optional.

The phantom monk of folk-blues, Kelly Joe Phelps‚ plays Hermann’s Jazz Club‚753 View St., Sunday, Nov. 25 at 8 p.m. It’s a lonely road to go down and like the old gospel says, Kelly Joe Phelps you’ve got to walk it for yourself. Phelps has been doing lot of soul searching since his last record, Western Bell, came out in 2009. Three years later, his journey wound its way to a recording studio in Vancouver, where Phelps beat a path to veteran producer Steve Dawson’s door with a new batch of songs that reflect both new insights gained along his journey, as well as things that dropped by the wayside. Together Phelps and Dawson embarked on a recording odyssey that marked their fourth collaboration, the result is Phelps’ latest release, Brother Sinner and the Whale. Hear tracks from Brother Sinner and the Whale at Phelps’ show. Tickets at hightideconcerts.net.

One-upping big bro Marcus Davis AAA Player of the Year Travis Paterson News staff
When Terrell Davis is your big brother, meeting the expectations he set as a player can seem a bit daunting. The former Mount Douglas Rams running back won just about everything there was to win at the AAA high school football level. But it hasn’t taken long for younger brother Marcus, two years Terrell’s junior, to find a way to make a mark of his own. Marcus was named B.C.’s AAA Player of the Year on Monday, the ultimate accolade for a high school player. “Usually it goes to a senior but I guess I proved myself to the voters,” said Davis, still just 16. “It’s pretty cool, and it’s hard to follow in (Terrell’s) footsteps, but I think I’ve oneupped him.” The award takes into account a player’s all around game, and no one is as dynamic in all areas of the field as Davis. “According to this year’s statistics, one in every five times Marcus touches the football he scores a touchdown, which is nothing short of amazing,” said Rams head coach Mark Townsend. “He’s is our hybrid offensive player and is equally dangerous lining up either as a (wide) receiver or as running back,
SPORTS NEWS IN BRIEF Vikes on the road against Golden Bears, Pandas The UVic Vikes men’s basketball team let an 11-point lead slip away in the third quarter of their match at UVic’s McKinnon Gym on Saturday, but hung on to win 77-63 over the Trinity Western Spartans. The Vikes men are now 5-1 in the Canada West conference. They retook a comfortable 19-point lead late in the game with three-pointers from Brandon Dunlop, Brin Taylor and Terrell Evans. Michael Acheampong led the scoring for UVic with 17 points on Saturday and 20 points in the Vikes’ 71-61 loss to the Spartans on Friday. The Vikes women’s basketball team outclassed the Spartans in both of their meetings, 72-59 on Saturday and 73-61 on Friday. Debbie Yeboah led the Vikes in scoring in both games with 23 and 25 points. The Vikes men’s and women’s teams are away today (Nov. 23) and tomorrow against the Alberta Golden Bears/Pandas and Saskatchewan Huskies. Both games are broadcast live on canadawest.tv.

Mount Doug’s Marcus Davis carries against the Terry Fox Ravens at Westhills Stadium on Friday (Nov. 16). Davis scored four touchdowns, one of them an 82-yard kick return. and is an outstanding kick returner.” Davis has returned a kick or punt for a touchdown five times. He plays cornerback on defence. “For Marcus to win this
award is a tremendous achievement, especially considering he’s only in Grade 11.” Davis can’t be recruited by the NCAA until next summer, but has already received a letter of interest from Penn State,
hoping to draw his attention. Rams Zach Wilkinson, Ashton MacKinnon, Julian Luis and Mason Swift were named AAA all-stars. sports@vicnews.com
Stopping Maleek Travis Paterson News staff
His name is Maleek Irons and the W.J. Mouat Hawks tailback is the single most dangerous football player in all of B.C. The Mount Douglas Rams face the Hawks in the provincial AAA semifinals tomorrow (Nov. 24), 5:30 p.m. at UBC’s Thunderbird stadium. It’s a rematch of last year’s Subway Bowl, when the Rams rallied from behind to win 42-35. To say Irons is the central figure of Saturday’s game is an understatement. Without him, the Hawks would come unhinged. Problem is, he’s been unstoppable, including a five-touchdown game against the Rams, a 52-49 Hawks’ win on Oct. 13. “Mouat has a tremendous offensive line who are quick enough to get to the linebacker level and obviously an outstanding running back in Irons,” Townsend said. “We know all too well what (Irons) is
capable of. He has tremendous leg drive and the ability to break through tackles and admittedly we did not do a good job in tackling him in our first meeting.” Last week Irons scored a season-high seven touchdowns to lead the Hawks to a 55-22 victory over the West Vancouver Highlanders in the B.C. AAA quarterfinals. In the process, Irons set a new single-season rushing record of 3,184 yards in 11 games, surpassing the 3,173 yards registered by Reg Bradshaw of the Centennial Centaurs back in 2001. Irons has also scored a mind-boggling 43 touchdowns. “Every time we play there’s always sparks that are flying. It’s going to be another good game,” Marcus Davis said. “They’re not as strong in the passing game, so if we shut down the running game we’ll come out with a victory.” The Rams are one of the youngest AAA teams in the province, with just nine players set to graduate from the 30 man ros-
Fourth-year women’s soccer player Olivia deGoede of the UVic Vikes is the 2012 Provost Award winner. DeGoede leads 58 student-athletes named to the Vikes’ annual honour roll.

The biology major had an 8.90 GPA for the 2011-12 academic year. Each of the 58 students achieved an 80 per cent average or higher in the classroom.
Vikes, Bays meet in playoff towards Island’s Barnard Cup One week after a massive come-frombehind victory over the Castaway Wanderers, the UVic Vikes face an even stiffer test. On Saturday the Vikes host the James Bay Athletic Association in a Vancouver Island Rugby Union match that goes towards the storied Barnard Cup Island championship. Kick off is 2:45 p.m. at Wallace Field. Last week James Bay had a bye while the Vikes, down 12-6 at half, came back to top the Castaway Wanderers 23-17.

Maleek Irons hurdles Trevor Ridley of the Rams on Oct. 13. ter this year. The Rams’ attack is equally balanced, with Davis and Brian Dowds at receiver and the duo of Mason Swift and Julian Luis at running back. The Rams are coming off a 45-20 quarterfinal win over the Terry Fox Ravens at Westhills Stadium on Friday (Nov. 16). The junior Rams also made the AAA semifinals, and played yesterday (Nov. 22) at UBC against the junior Terry Fox Ravens. sports@vicnews.com - with files from Dan Kanvig
The Velox Rugby Club’s under-19 men’s side showed promise this season, bettering local rivals James Bay and Castaway Wanderers to make the Island U19 final.

Castaway Wanderers dominated at the boys U17 level, defeating Nanaimo 53-7 in that final.

Lions lead with heart Captain part of ‘scrappy’ Lambrick Lions Travis Paterson News staff
At 5-foot-4, Émilie Wong epitomizes what the Lambrick Park Lions volleyball team is all about. “We’re a short team, a scrappy team. We were the smallest team at the (AA) Island championshps and we’ll probably be the smallest team at provincials,” said coach Chris Koutougos. Despite winning the Island championship at St. Michaels University School last week, the Lions do not have a top-three finish in their sights when they attend the AA girls provincials, beginning Nov. 29 in Nanaimo. Instead, the team which won AA silver at the past two provincials is hoping for a top-10 spot. “We’re confident in our hard work and no matter what the outcome we’ll be happy,” Wong said. Wong is part of a core of Grade 11 players on the team returning to the Lions next year, and this year is building towards that. The team uses heart in place of height, of which Koutougos estimates the team’s average is 5-foot-6. “We win games we have no business winning, our strength is in our team,” Koutougos said. Before defeating Brentwood College in the Island final, the Lions had to survive the semifinal. Host St. Michaels had the Lions on the rope in the fourth set, with leads of 9-2 and 19-12. “To face elimination (in the fourth set) then win the way we did, on a 13-4 run, is unheard of. It was the best I’ve ever seen (St. Michaels) play but we were able to rally.” Wong’s calming demeanour and competitive nature was crucial to the Lions in that game against St. Michaels, said Koutoutgos. It’s one of her greatest strengths, and reasons she is captain of the Lions. Wong is following in the footsteps of a chain of great Lambrick Park captains. Last year it was Tyger Holt, a 6-foot-2 rookie now playing vol-

Wong was a teammate with both of them, making this her third straight trip to provincials. “I was pretty small kid in Grade 9, and (Gmitroski) had to pump me up. Whenever I think about how to lead, I think about what they did. (Holt) pushed us a lot, too.” Wong is also contemplating a college start to her post-secondary studies so she can keep playing volleyball. But it’s not such a simple decision for the awardwinning academic. She has a 4.0 GPA and had the top chemistry 11 mark last year, as a Grade 10 student. “I’m hoping for a (university) scholarship in both, and I’ve given a little thought to starting at Camosun.

The money will go towards the $500,000 cost of nine medication dispensing cabinets for the Royal Jubilee Patient Care Centre. “The (cabinets) allow caregivers to do their jobs more safely and efficiently and are proven to reduce
medication errors. It’s wonderful that everyone at Visions understood the importance of this new equipment and stepped up to support it,” said Melanie McKenzie, the foundation’s executive director. The gala raised funds through ticket sales, community sponsors, live and silent auctions, a pledge drive and a bear raffle. Since 1989, Victoria Hospitals Foundation has raised nearly $90 million for Royal Jubilee and Victoria General hospitals, accounting for approximately 40 per cent of capital equipment purchases.
