Murder of crows blocks crow murder Langford staffers rescue bird caught in backstop netting Mike Davies News Gazette Staff

City of Langford staff, acting on a plea from a nearby resident, came to the rescue of a crow trapped in netting above a fastball backstop at Centennial Park on Monday morning.

“My wife told me there was something going on with a bunch of crows out here,” said Furber Road resident Dan Peterson, staring up at the netting. “When I got out here, they were fighting with an eagle, defending their buddy, I guess.” The eagle was attempting to get at a crow that had become tangled, but his feathered friends were fending the predator off while the crow struggled unsuccessfully to free itself. Langford city staff arrived minutes

after receiving the call from Peterson, with a bucket truck, some sturdy gloves and a set of clippers, to see if they could free the bird. Mike Gordon went up in the bucket and managed to free the crow, being careful to ensure the bird didn’t fall during the process. The crow was “cut up pretty badly,” he said, so it was taken to the Wild ARC rehabilitation centre in Metchosin to receive medical attention. mdavies@goldstreamgazette.com

More rewarding.

With the next round of budgeting being prepared for presentation to municipal representatives, West Shore Parks and Recreation Society chair Rob Martin is enthusiastic about where the organization is heading. “We have a very functional board right now,” says Martin, a Colwood city councillor who will oversee tomorrow’s (Jan. 22) inaugural 15-member board meeting in the Kinsmen Fieldhouse. “There have been challenges in the past due to differences of opinions in terms of where our vision should be, but right now everyone seems to be on the same page, so we can really make progress.” Some of that progress involves more surfaces for the area’s soccer and rugby teams. “The University (of Victoria) needed the field space that Velox Rugby was using there, so Velox is relocating to our fields and will now call field 1 home, which is great,” he says. As part of that arrangement, West Shore Parks and Rec. is adding an artificial turf on the infield of the velodrome track. “It’s not enough surface to have full, high-level matches on,” Martin says, “but it’ll be great for (youth soccer games) and for a practice area.” The society has also partnered with the Sooke School District, paying to install a second field at the new Royal Bay secondary slated to open this fall. “It’s an excellent arrangement,” Martin says. “During school hours, Royal Bay will have access to both fields, and after school hours, we’ll have access to both fields. When you add it all up, including the new surface in the velodrome, we essentially have an extra two and-a-half surfaces to schedule things on.” PlEASE SEE: Field switches planned, Page A4

PTSD affects soldiers, emergency responders Island’s Wounded Warriors Run to raise funds, awareness of mental illness, launches end of January Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

Six days, six runners and more than 600 kilometres. Up and down the hills and valleys of Vancouver Island, battling wind, rain and possibly even snow, six individuals will run relaystyle from Port Hardy to Victoria from Feb. 15 to 20 to raise funds and awareness for Wounded Warriors Run B.C. The cause – WWRBC supports retired and serving Canadian Armed Forces members affected by post-traumatic stress disorder – mirrors the issues around mental illness and needs to be brought more into the public eye, says Dave Saunders. His family’s Subaru dealership in Colwood will host the official relay launch on Jan. 30 and the event finale Feb. 20. “A lot of our emergency personnel are silent about it and they shouldn’t be,” he said. “PTSD shouldn’t be something to hide. It should be shared so as a community we can help them. They protect our community above and beyond what they are paid for. So this is the very least we can do to pay these individuals back.” Saunders Subaru is helping spearhead promotion of the Island run to help raise as much money and awareness of PTSD as possible for the cause, Saunders said. “This (run) is difficult in the summer, let alone the winter. “I congratulate those guys; they are willing to do it under any circumstances and my hat goes off to them.” Steve Deschamps, Channing Knull, Lorne Guthro, Mary McGregor, Sebastien Arsenault and Rob Lamothe have accepted the challenge of running through the Island’s challenging terrain. They’ll stop at many Royal Canadian Legion branches along the way, spreading the word and raising funds

Wounder Warrior Run B.C. will see six runners team up next month to run from Port Hardy to Victoria to raise funds in support of its programs to help the victims of post-traumatic stress disorder. for the cause. Lamothe said all of the runners and volunteers have a singular focus. “This is something near and dear to me. I have been deployed multiple times and I’m very concerned about PTSD and mental illness,” he said. “It is not a physical injury you can see, but wounds that are not as visible are still important to deal with.”

With last year’s inaugural run raising approximately $25,000, Lamothe said the hope is to shatter that record the second time out. “It’s a gruelling task, but it’s less about the run and more about the cause … It’s not just a military issue, it is really a mainstream Canadian society issue. The stats are that one in 10 (people are) affected by mental illness. Short or long term, we should not

turn a blind eye,” he said. Whether those affected are or have been in uniform or not, he added, “you try to make a difference in that individual’s life.” The media launch at Saunders Subaru, 1784 Island Hwy., happens at 11 a.m. Jan. 30. The finale takes place at 5 p.m. on Feb. 20. For more information visit woundedwarriorsrunbc.ca. alim@goldstreamgazette.com

Langford Fire Department intake complete Gale-force winds cause power Mike Davies News Gazette Staff

Motorists driving by Langford Fire Station No. 1 on Veteran’s Memorial Parkway won’t see the electronic sign board asking for volunteers this week. That’s because the department now has a full slate of new recruits lined up to fill their openings. According to chief training officer Scott Davidson, the department opens up its volunteer firefighter application procedure for the first two weeks of every year. Once the intake is completed, successful applicants go through a number of tests as they vie for the available positions.

This year 16 applicants made it through the preliminary screening procedure. They begin testing this week in competition for five available spots. “No one retired from Station Two this year,” Davidson says, “so that’s why there are only five spots available. We normally recruit about eight per year.” The testing involves not only physical aptitude training, he says, but co-operation and affinity testing. The goal is to make sure new recruits will fit in with the rest of the team. It’s an exhaustive process, so those selected to fill the positions will likely receive their beepers at the start of summer. mdavies@goldstream gazette.com

Wind gusts Saturday night and into Sunday morning had City of Langford crews busy clearing material from city streets Sunday instead of at home watching football. “We haven’t had that kind of wind for a few years,” said City of Langford engineering manager of public works George Henshall. “The crews were out for more than a few hours on Sunday getting roads re-opened, and then most of the day Monday was spend raking up the little bits that were strewn everywhere.” Henshall says it wasn’t the biggest mess he’s seen caused by weather in the area, but some of the more rural areas definitely took a while to get cleaned up. “There were several trees down on Humpback Road and up near Goldstream Park,” Henshall said. “People love living where they can be surrounded by nature, but unfortunately it also means they are surrounded by the mess it can make sometimes.” According to Henshall, the City has been getting better at finding “possible trouble branches” ahead of time and pruning proactively to reduce the damage caused by wind gusts like those Saturday night. mdavies@goldstreamgazette.com

Field switches planned for 2015 Continued from Page A1

Juan de Fuca soccer will move over to Royal Bay from West Shore Parks and Recreation with Velox taking over the field. Martin is also happy with the partnership with Rock the Shores festival producer Atomique Productions, which he hopes will provide the region with more arts and culture events in 2015. “They brought Sam Roberts to The Q Centre a few months ago, so we’re hoping we can get some more mid-sized acts like that. Shows for between 2,000 and 5,000 people.

One of the main challenges Martin sees moving forward as an organization – and it’s a nice problem to have – is that participation levels are increasing. He says a few of their facilities are almost at capacity with expanded community interest, and expansion is both costly and controversial. Because of the way the organization’s governance works – funding comes from the five West Shore municipalities plus Electoral Area E, and each partner has veto power – everything the society does has to be approved unanimously, which will be the challenge when the

new budget is presented. “I think we’ve managed to create something that’s fair for everyone, and all the municipalities have been very supportive of what we’ve been doing,” says Martin, adding he hopes the budget moves forward smoothly. The board meeting, open to the public, starts at 7 p.m. and includes the election of the chair, vice-chair and finance committee chair, and appointment to the various committees.

Stabbing suspect court date moved Victim dies in hospital day after being found on Station Ave. West Shore RCMP continue to investigate the Jan. 14 stabbing of Kyle Jansen, 29, which resulted in the Victoria man succumbing to his injuries the following day in hospital. Police arrested 29-year-old Daniel Thomas Phelps around 3 a.m. Thursday and recommended charges of manslaughter in connection with the Langford incident. Phelps was due to face the charges on Monday at the West-

ern Communities Courthouse in Colwood, but his court date was pushed back to Jan. 26. He remains in custody. The incident saw B.C. Ambulance Service respond to a call on Station Avenue near Jacklin Road at approximately 5:15 p.m. last Wednesday. They found Jansen suffering from a stab wound to the leg. Witness reports stated a sports utility vehicle was seen speeding away from the scene.

The vehicle, a grey Ford Explorer, has since been found, but police were saying little about its relation to the investigation. Further information is still being sought. Anyone who may have been near Jacklin Road and Station Avenue around the time the victim was found is asked to contact police at 250-474-2264 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). mdavies@goldstreamgazette.com

Six-year-old Kyrin Graham is looking forward to Carnival, a French-Canadian celebration coming to Ecole Millstream Elementary School in the West Shore.

News staff

Six-year-old Kyrin Graham is looking forward to Carnival. The Grade 1 student at Ecole Millstream elementary in Langford plans to be up early on Friday (Jan. 23) so he can volunteer at the annual event along with his mother, Lia, who makes pancakes as part of this celebration of the French Canadian culture they both value so much. “I think (Carnival) brings the French program and the English program closer, because it’s something that French Canadians celebrate and is huge within that community,” Lia said. “Having English students and everyone celebrate together brings it back to community.” Among the highlights of Carnival are a visit by an expert in making maple syrup taffy, per-

formances of traditional FrenchCanadian music, ice carving and the school-wide pancake breakfast to start the day. Engagement with such culture was an important factor in the choice to enrol Kyrin in a French immersion school, said Lia, who does not speak the language at home. School principal Julia Sahota said she is proud to provide that opportunity. “We take for granted children don’t have all the experiences and exposure to all the things we are (as a nation),” she said. “The more we can expose them to things in their country and the cultures within their country, the better it is.” Having grown up in Ontario, Sahota experienced firsthand tree-tapping for maple syrup and the other activities featured at Carnival. She hopes to pro-

vide a piece of that culture for the approximately 200 students and their families this Friday. “It is a really fun celebration for students because, one, they all love eating pancakes, and two, they don’t know as much about French-Canadian culture,” she said. “It’s a part of every Canadian’s culture.” Sahota said the excitement over the event is not only running through the school’s two French immersion classes – Kindergarten-Grade 1 and Grade 1-2 splits. “They haven’t had something like that, where they have all sat down as a community and broke bread together. The other part for me is that kids have that experience. It’s not all about books and reading and writing, it is about experiencing their lives in different ways, too. That’s what is really important.” alim@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

New federal riding will see new faces While Prime Minister Stephen Harper has yet to make the official call setting a federal election date, the political machines in the new riding of Cowichan-Malahat-Langford began getting cranked up some time ago. Busiest so far have been the New Democratic Party and Conservatives, each of which have seen multiple candidates express interest in winning their party’s nomination for the constituency. Potential NDP candidates for 2015 emerged last year when longtime NanaimoCowichan MP Jean Crowder announced in January she wouldn’t be running again. While residents from the Malahat and northward make up most of the parties’ lists, at least one hopeful may be familiar to residents in the southernmost section of the new riding. North Cowichan resident John Koury, former constituency assistant for longstanding MP Keith Martin – he actually ran for the Conservatives against Martin in 2004 after the latter jumped to the Liberals – is seeking the federal Conservative nomination following a near-miss in the North Cowichan mayoral race. In a conversation with the Gazette this week, Koury noted that the various parties enjoy strengths in getting people on board to volunteer for campaigns. The NDP, he said, are great at attracting volunteers at the civic and provincial levels, while the Liberals, Conservatives and Greens tend to do well raising people’s interest at the federal level. At this stage of the game, only card-carrying members will determine who represents their party in the next election. But with pundits predicting Harper could make the call as soon as spring, parties are doing their best now to sign up new members and have their candidates ready to head into the field, knock on doors and carry the banner. Langford, while not known for great voter turnout, is ripe for sending a new MP to Ottawa. And as the free-enterprise hub of the West Shore, it wouldn’t surprise us to see a candidate from this area attempt to earn the nomination for the Conservatives or Liberals. Barring such direct involvement, if residents of Langford want to have a say in the race, they may have to get on board at the grassroots level and sign a party membership card. What do you think?

an argument with a registered nurse at a blood donor clinic, annoyed that the health ministry denied her imagined “right” to infect frail patients with influenza, and with a veteran politician who only recently overcame a vague taboo against putting vaccines in her body. It’s no wonder people constantly fall for enviro-scares like toxins from the Alberta oil sands that are actually concentrated in cities where all that fuel is burned, or the threat of genetically modified canola oil, or smart meters. The media are frequently part of the problem, lacking scientific literacy and preferring conflict over common sense. Take Vancouver (please). The mayor rose to fame with a company that sold overpriced imported tropical fruit juice in single-serving plastic bottles. Calling it “Happy Planet” convinced a new generation of urban rubes that they’re doing something for the environment. Plus, there are “no chemicals” in it, to cite the central myth of hippy science.

Categorizing humans a needless exercise Re: Declaring sexuality shouldn’t be a thing (Student Views, Jan. 16) This was an exceptionally thoughtful article by Maddy Caldwell. But I’d add that not only should no one ever feel they need to announce their sexual orientation, or fear being marginalized for it, no one should even feel there is a coherent categorization in which to announce themselves. We’ve made a similar mistake to the failed 17th century attempt to bucket people into “races” using

arbitrary physical traits. We now know that categorization doesn’t stand to any scientific scrutiny of biological variation. Not that genetic validation should’ve been required. A simple thought experiment kills the idea. Imagine lining up the world’s population of humans from darkest skinned to lightest. Would we have clear dividing lines to segment what we currently consider black, white, yellow, or red? Have you not seen a so-called Caucasian that has darker skin than some

so-called African-Americans? What about widest nose to thinnest? Or height? Every attempt is futile. Absurd. It’s clearly a continuum for which categorization is arbitrary and largely pointless. So too with sexual orientation. What is gay? Is it any samesex attraction? Or a certain degree? What if you had a same-sex dream? A brief thought? Or does it require the act? What if it’s just once? Is there an instance criteria? What if you appreciate both sexes? What defines a bi-sexual? What if somebody

Pay heed to animal experts Re: Feeding the birds not a great idea at popular lagoon (News Gazette, Jan. 16) It’s good to see someone picked up on some of the folly of feeding birds. Missing from your article is the danger to children. The child in the photo in your Jan. 2 issue (shown, right) is foolish for getting so close to large birds. They are wild creatures who can get confused and thus feel threatened and react in defence. They can get Arnold Lim/News Gazette staff aggressive if they want more Large birds, such as these at Esquimalt food from you. Lagoon, can injure unsuspecting feeders.

just wishes to experiment? And why would it matter? Again, if you were to line up the world’s population from most attracted to same-sex to least, would we have clear dividing lines? What would they be based on? Is there even a point to doing so? What we have is another unbroken continuum. Another pointless attempt to arbitrarily categorize, but serving only to create artificial in/out groups. And needless marginalization. Michael Davie View Royal

Langford resident Sue Harper was out walking around Langford Lake with her camera last Friday when she spotted a flock of ducks calmly floating on the water. She wasn’t sure what she’d get, but was attracted to this nearby hen. “Then she decided to lift herself up high to give me a full view of her gorgeous feathers. She was such a show-

Why the questions Doc?

Occasionally a patient is uncomfortable when I ask personal questions. A column like this gives me a chance to explain the reason for unusual questions that an optometrist may ask you. Every optometrist wants to know the reason for your visit. This is known as the “chief complaint.” However, to accurately determine if you are at risk of any eye diseases, a full “case history” has to be taken. General health questions about you and your blood relations are important. Many illnesses can affect vision. You’d be wise to bring a list of any medications you take. Many medications have potential visual side effects. Optometrists always ask about your occupation and hobbies to determine how you use your eyes. Then we can make suggestions as to which type of glasses and/or lenses would provide you with the best visual performance at work and play.

the feasibility of increasing agricultural production on the West Shore, again with an emphasis on Metchosin. Her findings highlighted some interesting models that could be a road map for increasing food production in the region. Most of the findings call for different levels of community support: 1. Improved infrastructure. There is a shortage of abattoirs, transporters, storage facilities and wholesalers that cater to local farms. 2. Formation of co-operatives to build infrastructure and market goods to consumers. 3. Development of a strategic regional agricultural plan. 4. Develop business skills for farmers. 5. Seek and develop opportunities for distribution and support by improving connections between farmers, wholesalers, restaurants and local consumers. Given the fact 62 per cent of farms bring in less than $10,000 in annual revenues, it’s pretty obvious there is plenty of room to grow, no pun intended. The West Shore has some of the best year-round growing conditions in the country and there is plenty of land that can be used for small-scale intensive farming. There are also lots of eager consumers searching for local food not too far down the road. It would be a shame to see all this fantastic farmland go to waste. We should make local food production and consumption a priority; it makes good economic sense. Besides, fresh local food tastes better. – Craig Sorochan

as the Bulldogs prepared for tomorrow’s (Jan. 22) league game at Reynolds. “I think we’ll take a lot of momentum into our city tournament. I feel they’re playing their best basketball of the season to this point.” While the top two spots in the city AAA league will most likely come down to Oak Bay and Claremont, the next two berths are seriously up for grabs, with Belmont right in that mix, Lidstone said. The Lower Island playoffs happen Feb. 12 to 14, with the Islands set for Feb. 19 to 21 in Port Alberni. The top four teams from the south automatically qualify, with No. 5 able to challenge No. 4 in the north for the final berth. The Bulldogs (1-3) beat a physical Stelly’s by four points last week, led by a 30-point effort from Isla Swanwick. Belmont closes out its short regular season with the Reynolds game and their final home game at Spotswood gym, Jan. 27 against Mount Douglas. The Bulldogs finished fourth at the Totem 60 tournament in Port Alberni earlier this month, dropping their first game to eventual champion Mark Isfeld of Courtenay, then beating Pacific Christian School Pacers and Sooke’s Edward Milne. Swanwick and Claire Church led the team in scoring at the tournament, while Cassy Allen was a force inside as top rebounder. Guard Madison Bullen led the team in assists on the weekend. Swanwick was later named to the tournament all-star team, the lone player from a non-finalist team to achieve the honour. “She and the other two captains (Hannah Allen and Frelen Gorst) have really stepped up and are leading on and off the court,” Lidstone said of his Grade 12s. Grade 11s Bullen and post Jess Thomsen have come a long way with their play, he added. Others chipping in with solid efforts of late are Savonah MacLeod-Vesillin up front, Alysha Walton in the back court and Nicole Weldam-Dickson, Claire Joyce, Miranda Llewellyn, Leslie Cotter and Rachel Fehler on the wings. Belmont opens the Spotswood tourney with a 1 p.m. Friday game against Semiahmoo from Vancouver, then play Kwalikum from Qualicum Beach at 6:15. Saturday games start at 9:45 a.m., with the Bulldogs slotted in for a 1:15 p.m. game against North Surrey and a 5:15 matchup with Mount Doug, which will serve as a preview of the teams’ league game next week. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Kitchen Scraps Diversion

JAN

2015

One New Year’s resolution we’ll all be making. A full disposal ban on kitchen scraps at Hartland landfill takes effect January 1, 2015. The ban will divert compostable items like vegetables, meat, bones, grains, dairy products, fruit and soiled paper that currently take up thirty percent of the landfill. At the same time, diverted kitchen scraps will significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and will be processed into beneficial compost. So contact your waste hauler or municipality directly, plan for collection options and make a note on your calendar. Then we can all look forward to a happy, more sustainable New Year!

Grizzlies still on road The Victoria Grizzlies hope to make it two in a row when they travel to Port Alberni tonight. The B.C. Hockey League squad got two goals and an assist from Brett Gruber as they downed the Spruce Kings 6-3 in Prince George on Saturday. The win gave the Grizzlies a split of their brief road trip. Victoria lost 4-2 to the Chiefs in Chilliwack the night before. That followed a 6-5 OT loss to Cowichan Valley in Duncan last week. The Grizzlies (19-141-9) remain third in the Island Division, two points back of Powell River with two games in hand.

Camosun builds Belmont volleyball pipeline Belmont High connection helps Chargers be an inspiration for West Shore players

The Camosun College men’s volleyball team’s Belmont Bulldogs connection includes PacWest conference all-star and veteran Charger, Alex Sadowski, left, and rookies Taran Silas, Mark Severinsen and Douglas Waterman.

a high level this season and will compete for a provincial title next month when Camosun hosts the PacWest championships. “Hopefully this is sparking some younger kids to play volleyball,” Waterman said. “When I started playing I didn’t love it, I just said ‘what the heck, let’s try it out.’ Now it’s my favourite sport; I love it and can’t get enough of it.” Colwood resident Severinsen, a six-foot-one leftside hitter and one of three brothers to play for the Bulldogs in past years, also hopes the prevalence of Belmont alums will have a positive effect. “It kind of paves the way for younger players,” he said. “We’ve seen volleyball at Belmont go from nothing, where (older brother Luke) almost didn’t have a team because no one really knew about Belmont as a volleyball school, to now we’re seeing more players than the team can handle. It’s awesome seeing younger teams perform better and better every year.” While Severinsen and Silas, a six-two leftside from Colwood, are seeing limited floor time yet, Waterman has played his way into a key role with the departure of Charger starting middle Lachlan Polson to Mount Royal University in the CIS. Longtime Chargers head coach Charles Parkinson said it’s a massive leap from high Don Descoteau/News Gazette staff Camosun Chargers’ Alex Sadowski, school to college, espeleaps to make a hit against the Fraser cially to a college team Valley Cascades in PacWest men’s that is going to challenge for a title. Nonetheless, volleyball action Saturday at PISE.

the coaching staff felt comfortable throwing Waterman into the deep end early. “He’s done very well,” Parkinson said. “There are times when I can see he’s a rookie, but he handles himself well … He’s doing all the things we’re asking him to do; he’s just light on experience and that will come and he will continue to get better and better as time goes by.” Overall the coach likes what the newcomers bring to the team, above all their outstanding work ethic and “burning desire to want to be successful.” Sadowski, 24, took some time off before joining the Chargers in 2011. He began with a bang, winning conference rookie of the year honours. He continues to be a leader and as the tallest player on the squad at sixfoot-seven, he can dominate defensively. Before last weekend’s matches, he sat third in the league in blocks with 1.09 per game, 11th in kills with 2.61 per game and was sixth in total offensive stats, a measure of overall effectiveness. Sadowski gave a bit of perspective on the Bulldogs connection. “Belmont, they do have a very strong program. But volleyball in Victoria is usually dominated by Oak Bay and Claremont,” he said. “Belmont’s been there (in recent years), so it’s nice to see a bunch of guys coming in and holding their own.” Parkinson recalled when he first saw Sadowski play. “He was six-seven anda-half and 220 pounds and I started salivating. He was

an athlete; he didn’t have all the skills; but you can’t teach size and you can’t teach athleticism,” Parkinson said. “What we can do is teach them the skills and he’s developed into a beast in this league, a first team all-star.” All four players look forward to hosting provincials Feb. 26 to 28 at PISE, when the home fans turn the PISE gym electric. For Sadowski, one of two Chargers in their final year, the hope is to go out in style,

A trio of former Belmont Bulldogs didn’t have to worry about switching jersey colours this year when they joined the Camosun Chargers men’s volleyball team. Rookies Douglas Waterman, Mark Severinsen and Taran Silas, products of Kris Johnson’s program at Belmont, have fit right in with the Chargers, with fourthyear middle Alex Sadowski helping blaze the trail for them. The Gazette caught up with the four players last weekend, after the second-place Chargers swept their second Pacific Western Athletic Association (PacWest) home match in two days against the University of Fraser Valley Cascades at the Pacific Institute for Sport Excellence. “We played high school together and have played together since Grade 8,” said Waterman, a sixfive middle out of Metchosin. “It’s really awesome to have some of my best friends (playing on this team).” He likes the fact that four former Bulldogs are playing the sport at

Travis Paterson News staff

aanich boxer Bryan Colwell continues to wonder if the Olympics are a realistic dream. The 25-year-old amateur pugilist has been training at Island MMA in Victoria since he was 17 and is currently the Fight City (Combsport) provincial heavyweight champion (195 to 220 pounds), having won that title versus Aaron Downey in October. As the standard goes in boxing, Colwell will make his first title defence (fighters with at least one successful title defence carry a higher level of respect) before he makes a long-awaited move out of Combsport to Boxing B.C., as only the latter organization – a regional member of Boxing Canada – can offer a path to the Olympics. “Right now (Colwell’s) in a tough place,” said coach Jason Heit of Island MMA, who represented Canada in boxing at the 1995 Pan American Games. “There’s two national bodies with Combsport and Boxing Canada, and it’s watering down the competitive athlete pool.” Heit and many of his contemporaries believe that Boxing B.C.’s field of competitive boxers is too few while Combsport offers more fighters and a better opportunity to improve. Boxing B.C. demands 10 fights before an athlete can qualify for a Boxing Canada sanctioned national tournament (which leads to the Olympics). As such, Colwell has spent the past two years fighting in Combsport and has a record of 7-2-1. “I’ve gone with Combsport and I was hoping I could switch over to Boxing B.C.; maybe I would have to wait out a suspension,” said Colwell, a part-time Camosun College business student. There won’t be a suspension, but Colwell has since learned that Boxing B.C. recognizes Combsport as a combat sport and not as boxing. “Any athlete who has competed as an amateur (outside of Boxing B.C.) can begin boxing right away once properly registered … there is no waiting period,” said Boxing B.C. office manager Colleen Bourassa. However, Colwell needs to compete provincially for a year and cannot compete in an international tournament until he has competed in a national event, Bourassa added. Not only that, Colwell cannot fight in both

Combsport and Boxing B.C. due to the latter’s rules, so he won’t register with Boxing B.C. until he’s committed for good. That’s not likely until at least March, so he can get the added experience of defending his Fight City belt against Downey. So while Colwell is still early in the Olympic process, he’d like to know where he stacks up nationally and at least give himself a chance to explore an Olympic dream. And moving to Boxing B.C. will essentially mean starting over without a title belt around his waist. “The end game is to get to the Olympics,” he said. “It’s making it harder to get to my goal.”

Combsport & Boxing B.C. Combsport has a B.C. membership of about 2,000, about 250 of which are active. Boxing B.C. would not release its numbers, but said its membership is up 15 per cent in 2014 from 2013. editor@goldstreamgazette.com
