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

Marion Evamy shows off one of the pooch portraits that make the Oak Bay artist popular among collectors.
COLOURFUL CONCLUSION
It’s an approach that seems to be working.
When the Sidney Fine Art Show, considered by many to be the premier art show on Vancouver Island, opened its doors on Oct. 11, Evamy had one of her works on display. The painting is entitled
Breezin’, a work of acrylic on canvas. Typical of Evamy’s style, it’s vibrant with brilliant colour.
It’s an honour to have a painting chosen for display, given that more than 1,200 submissions are made to the juried show and only 350 are selected, said her husband
Bobb Hamilton This year however, Evamy has been
notified that she’ll be receiving one of the major awards at the 2012 show.

Riders from the 2012 Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock Saanich News reporter Kyle Slavin, left, and Matt Webb exchange high-fives after finishing the ride at Victoria’s Centennial Square last Friday afternoon.
Travelling 1,100 kilometres through 27 communities, this year’s Tour de Rock team raised $1.02 million and counting.
The money goes toward fund-ing pediatric cancer research and Camp Goodtimes, a sum-mer camp for kids with cancer.
The team rode its final few kilometres to a hero’s welcome at Centennial Square last Friday, where supporters and public well-wishers gathered to pay tribute to the riders, all but four of whom were members of a
police organization.All but two of this year’s 17
riders hailed from the Capital Region, which led fundraising efforts this year. About 60 per cent of the total came from Greater Victoria.
Tracie Clayton, with the Canadian Cancer Society, said money keeps coming in after the fact and the final tally won’t be known until closer to November.
Of all the generosity dem-onstrated across Vancouver
Island, Clayton noted the “mindblowing” $101,000 raised by Reynolds secondary in Saanich. More than $46,000 was raised by Oak Bay High students.
It still brings a tear to her eye just talking about it.
“Kids helping kids. It doesn’t get any sweeter than that,” Clayton said.

The City of Victoria has withdrawn its application to limit requests for information by Focus magazine.
In August, corporate administra-tor Rob Woodland applied to B.C.’s Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for permission to restrict the magazine to one active request at a time.
While the city claimed the num-ber of requests filed by Focus overburdened city resources, publisher David Broadland coun-tered that he suspected the move was strategic, to delay the release of specific materials related to the
Johnson Street Bridge.An adjudicator with the commis-
sion will no longer have to make a ruling in the case.
On Oct. 9 Woodland distributed a letter explaining his reasons for with-drawing his application.
“In the two months since the fil-ing of the City's application … the Respondents have made no new requests related to the JSB Project,” Woodland wrote.
By assigning extra resources to the job, the city has fulfilled all but one outstanding request by Focus, he continued. “Thus it is no longer nec-essary to proceed with the section 43 application.”
Victoria changes tune on freedom of information
Crooks target flight with Air Miles theft
On Oct.1, police received a report of fraud involving the theft of 332,000 Air Miles from an Oak Bay resident. The investigation has determined that the Air Miles were con-verted to electronic equipment in addition to nine $250 gift cards. The owners of the Air Miles were not in Victoria at the time of the theft but became aware of the discrepancy in their Air Miles account. Police are continuing to investigate the theft.
Head-on collision injures cyclist
A cyclist collided with a 1982 Mercedes at about 7 p.m. Oct. 3. The 19-year-old Oak Bay man was riding northbound on Cadboro Bay Road near Beach Drive when he collided head-on with the southbound car, driven by a 70-year-old Saanich man. The cyclist was thrown into the windshield of the vehicle and fell uncon-scious onto the road. He was
taken to Victoria General Hos-pital with broken ribs and sub-sequently released. Police are continuing to investigate the crash.
Running stop sign results in crash
Shortly before 10:30 a.m. on Oct. 6, an Oak Bay man drove his 2010 Subaru into the side of a northbound Honda Odyssey after police say he failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection of Cadboro Bay road and Hamiota Street. The occupants of the Honda, a 50-year-old man and his 10-year-old son were unhurt, but the 78-year-old driver of the Subaru and his 70-year-old wife both sustained minor inju-ries. Police attended the crash and closed Cadboro Bay Road for approximately 40 minutes as a result of the collision. The occupants of the Subaru were transported to hospital and the driver was later issued with a traffic violation for failing to stop at a stop sign.
Homeowner surprises burglar
Just after midnight on Oct. 6, the 28-year-old daughter of a homeowner in the 2500-block of Cotswold Rd. surprised a would-be thief as he tried to enter the residence through a basement window. The man had one leg inside the window when he was discovered and fled the scene empty-handed, never having gained entry. Because the offence was not reported immediately to police, his capture through the use of a police dog or other search methods was not possible.
Thieves target unsecured vehicles
Oak Bay police had three reports of thefts from vehicles during the past week. In two cases, the vehicles had been left unlocked and in the third, the rear windows had been left partially open. Items stolen included an iPod and camera. Police suggest that drivers lock their vehicles and remove valu-able items from view.

An antiquated pipe system in the municipality of Oak Bay may result in residents paying the larg-est share of the cost of the new sewage treatment facility slated for completion in 2018.
The Core Area Wastewater Treatment Program calls for a wastewater treatment plant to be constructed at Esquimalt’s McLoughlin Point, where bio-solids would be extracted and pumped 18 kilometres to the Hartland Landfill in Saanich. The material would then be dried in a biosolids energy centre and placed in cement kilns, which in turn would be housed at Cad-boro Bay. The total project cost is estimated at $782.7 million with two-thirds of the funding coming from the provincial and federal governments.
The CRD however, needs to contribute $281 million – approx-imately one third of the total cost – to the project. If a proposal before the CRD is approved, those costs would be divided on a formula that is based on usage (flow levels) projected to 2030. Based on those flow levels, Oak Bay would pay the highest amount of any municipality – an estimated $391 a year per house-hold.
But the flow levels may not be a true reflection of the sewage wastewater gener-ated by the municipality.
“In the Uplands area we have a single pipe sys-tem in which storm water is routed to the same line that carries waste water,” said Dave Mar-shall, director of engineering services for Oak Bay. “That obviously increases the flow levels for the municipality.”
But the problem extends to other parts of the system as well. Even in those parts of the munici-pality where a two-line system exists, there is still
the problem of storm water seeping into older wastewater lines. “It’s a matter of inflow and infil-tration,” said Marshall. “But seepage into lines isn’t unique to Oak Bay, it’s a problem wherever older sewer lines are in place.”
All municipalities, including Oak Bay, are cur-rently reviewing their systems in an effort to bring them in line with the CRD’s wastewater manage-ment plan. That may require a twinning of the Uplands pipes and an upgrade of other lines but a final decision on the matter has not been formally adopted.
Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen said that the munici-pal council is well aware of the situation and has wrestled with some options for minimizing the flow of storm water into the sew-age lines.
“It’s obvious that we need to work quickly to address the storm water issue and to upgrade our systems generally. I’d like to see the greater use of rain-gardens or other systems that move storm water to the ocean, but right now we’re look-ing at a plan that employs more traditional methods.”
Until the work is done, Oak Bay residents will be paying a higher share of both the capital costs and the annual operating costs of the sewage treatment system. And it’s not about the number of homes in the area. Although Uplands is home to less than seven per cent of the total number of residences in Oak Bay, about 20 per cent of the municipality’s surface area is drained into the Upland’s sew-age lines.
The entire Wastewater Treat-ment Plan has garnered criti-
cism from a number of quarters, most notably the Association for Responsible and Environmen-tally Sustainable Sewage Treatment, a group of marine scientists, public health officers and oth-ers. They claim that the project is politically and not environmentally motivated, and that the cur-rent system, in which screened sewage is pumped into the Strait of Juan de Fuca, is both safe and effective.
The funding split was approved at the Oct.10 meeting of the Liquid Waste Management Com-
mittee and will go to the CRD board for approval.More information on the Wastewater Treatment
Plan can be found at crd.bc.ca/wastewater/made-clear.

Families are odd things and family history is often odder.
I’m sure some of you have too many living relatives to worry much about former family. But those of us who enjoy poking around in the world of genealogy are often more surprised by events than we expected.
I’ve done a little research, mainly on my father’s side. It’s easier to investigate in a language you understand – the Ukrainian and Polish on my mother’s side create a challenge.
The first thing you realize when you start to research family history is that you’re always starting too late. I really wish I’d been curious when my paternal grandmother was still alive. She lived into her 90s, but when you’re young, family stories often don’t seem all that important. My father and his siblings have memories of their parents’ and relatives’ lives, but there are many blank spots.
For instance I’ll probably never know what my grandfather did for two years when he and my grandmother went to England, got married and had their first child. Did he work for his father-in-law? It was certainly not mentioned to any of his kids or at least not that they remember.
While that time period remains a mystery, I did, discover some pretty amazing things. Using simple online searches, I found a letter that my great grandfather William
Thomas (Tom) Denton wrote to his hometown paper in Driffield, England, extolling the opportunities to be found in Manitoba.
The letter is a little over the top, knowing as I do that the attempts at farming were defeated by poor land and flooding. Maybe it was written soon after he arrived and he was excited by what he first saw.
My cousin Russ is the real history sleuth in the family. He started researching years ago and is the go-to guy for any family info.
A good example was his work delving into what ultimately happened to our great-grandfather.
Despite searching, Russ could never find an obituary and no one alive seemed to know what happened to him, until recently.
A few months ago in the Winnipeg archives, Russ came across an article about Tom’s retirement from the park. The article stated that the freshly retired Tom was moving to Victoria with two of his sons. Nice to know my great-grandfather was a pioneer in turning Victoria into a retirement
destination.This new info gave Russ a whole
new direction and he’s since found that Tom married for a third time while here. He lived on Bethune Avenue in Saanich, and a recent visit allowed Russ to meet some descendants by the name of O’Connor.
These unexpected discoveries can really make researching your family’s background a rewarding pastime.
While I was writing this column, I was randomly typing into Google family names to see what would pop up. I quickly discovered a few new facts about my paternal grandmother’s brother, George Fowle. Then came the real surprise.
My great grandfather had come to Canada with his wife and children, as well as a half-brother, Timothy Barmby. That half-brother had one child, who never had kids of his own, so that seemed like the end of the Barmby family line here.
Except my search also turned up a family page for a Barmby brother or cousin who came to Canada at the same time, married in Winnipeg, had children and ended up in Saskatchewan.
Who knew? Well, now we do.So now it’s back to the previous
mystery: what did my grandfather do for those years in London?

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

Flushing our sewage is far from an ideal situation I heard former environment
minister David Anderson say recently that dumping Victoria’s sewage into the Strait of Juan de Fuca was “as effective as artificial land-based sewage treatment.”
How can any intelligent human believe such a statement? According to Capital Regional District numbers, outfalls at Clover Point and Macaulay Point handle the effluent from 330,000 people daily, many of whom use personal-care products, laundry products, medicines and more, all contributing to a chemical stew being discharged into the local environment.
Stores throughout the region sell over-the-counter medicines, household cleansers, mouthwashes, hair dyes, bleaches and similar products every day.
Additionally, many area residents use prescription drugs, virtually all of which pass through their bodies and are excreted into the waste stream.
Anyone can read the warning labels on any of these products, and understand they pose a threat to the environment if not handled carefully. Even toothpaste is toxic, with labels warning users not to ingest the
product. But almost all of the areas’ 330,000 residents flush this down the drains, every day.
Anderson and the Association for Responsible, Ethical and Sustainable Sewage Treatment say “source control” is their answer to the concerns about these chemical contaminants.
Does he really think Victoria’s residents will stop washing their clothes, cleaning their houses, or stop taking their medicines?
Many scientific studies have been done that show these chemicals are damaging the worlds’ environment.
Anderson says the conditions
of the Strait of Juan de Fuca are somehow “different,” yet virtually all communities along the Strait currently have sewage treatment, except Victoria.
Even little communities like Sooke, Sidney, Salt Spring Island, Friday Harbour, Port Townsend and Sequim have sewage treatment.
If these communities all have funded and built sewage treatment, why can’t affluent Victoria, the Provincial Capital? Anderson tells the public an “exemption” is possible. With virtually every other nearby community already treating its
sewage, what will Victoria state as its “special” circumstances, warranting its ability to continue to pollute the areas’ environment all others are spending so much to clean up?
Modern sewage treatment facilities remove 98 per cent of the chemicals of concern. Screening raw sewage before dumping it into the environment removes none of them.
It is sad to see Anderson and others deceive the public in their efforts to achieve their political goals.

Ironman Canada bid lossa crying shame
Re: Too much, too soon for Victoria (Sports, Oct. 5)
What a shame.Although it was apparently
the preferred location, Victoria has lost its bid to become the next host and permanent home of the Ironman Canada, a world famous triathlon event attracting thousands of participants and visitors each year.
The reason given by the event organizers for not accepting Victoria’s bid was the archaic bureaucratic and stifling procedures required to obtain quick approval and continuity from 10 of our 13 municipalities in order to meet the timing and routing commitments for the event.
Just another case for amalgamation wouldn’t you say?
This is especially sad, since apparently Ironman Canada gave
Victoria the highest rating for its course, location and all round perfect venue.
We all know the natural beauty of our area is a highlight for all participants from around the world when they participate in our many marathons and other sporting events throughout the year.
Wouldn’t you think that an event of this magnitude, with the financial benefits it would bring to our area, that the provincial government, along with strong input from all municipalities in our area, would have enthusiastically endorsed our bid rather than idly sitting back, leaving just a few local interested parties to pursue the bid on their own?
Maybe it’s for the best, as families from the Mainland would probably not be able to afford to come over to share in the excitement of this world-class event because of the atrocious
fare prices of our B.C. Ferries.Martin Battle

Children victimizedin Syrian civil war
Today, I am ashamed to be Canadian.
I am appalled and disgusted that Canada is not doing more to help children in Syria. While I sit and pay for Stephen Harper’s salary and spending account, hundreds of children are dying by the day.
What is the media doing to support them? Is the media applying pressure to the federal government to mobilize aid? As a Canadian citizen, I increase your ratings by turning on the news. When do you do something for me?
I’m asking that you help these children, draw as much attention to their plight as you possibly can. Tell Canadian citizens what it
is they can do to help.Somebody needs to get to
those children, any way they can.Rachelle Dallaire

Sewage project latestCampbell legacy fiasco
Should anyone be surprised that the B.C. Appeal Court has thrown out the ludicrous third-party advertising law that Gordon Campbell crafted?
It joins the turfing-out of his drinking-driving curbside justice fiasco, his shredding of the teachers’ contracts and several others.
And they join his brilliant policies like the carbon tax and the phony $100 rebate that came with it, his compulsory balanced-budget legislation, the payment of $5 million in legal fees for the defendants who pleaded guilty in the B.C. Rail scandal, his fixed election dates, $600-million
roof for B.C. Place, his closing of Tourism B.C., open cabinet meetings and dozens of equally bizarre decisions that he and his cabinet colleagues decided were so appropriate.
Perhaps people will now understand how much thought went into the Campbell/Penner orders that we should spend $1 billion treating sewage effluent that is already – almost perfectly – being treated in the ocean off our southern shores.
Too bad he also eliminated the requirement for a referendum, or for any environmental/economic/social impact study, because neither would pass.
When will some of our elected officials summon up the courage to start telling the truth and stop this project?
Or, is the stampede of the politically correct lemmings irreversible?

Newspaper carriers appreciated for their weekly effortsDon DescoteauNews staff
It’s easy to take for granted the community newspaper that gets delivered to your door twice a week.
Readers should know, how-ever, that Black Press doesn’t take the people who distrib-ute the Oak Bay News for granted.
“For me the carriers are number one,” says Black Press Greater Victoria circula-tion director Bruce Hogarth, who oversees about 1,100 delivery people throughout the system.
“Without the carriers, all the hard work that goes into pro-ducing the newspaper would be for naught.”
Newspaper Carrier Appre-ciation Week in B.C. runs from
tomorrow (Oct. 13)
through Oct. 20. To celebrate, the News and parent company Black Press are spotlighting the youth and adults who are
the final link in the news chain that starts with stories being written and advertisements sold and ends with people tak-ing time out to read our print products.
In Greater Victoria, the small army of Black Press carriers deliver free commu-nity newspapers to approxi-mately 100,000 homes and businesses. Carriers are val-ued and appreciated for that weekly effort, Hogarth says, noting the job comes with a lot of responsibility.
“For a lot of our carriers, this is their first job and it’s a great opportunity for them to learn valuable skills that they can carry forward.”
He also credits those par-ents who play a major role in helping younger carriers fulfill Black Press’ commitment to the readers of the News.
The News rewards carriers through the year with various in-house contests and prize draws. If you’re interested in finding out more about becoming a News carrier, call 250-360-0817.

Bus drivers in Greater Victoria have scrapped their uniforms in favour of street clothes.
The uniform ban was sanc-tioned by the Canadian Auto Workers local 333.
"We're trying to do everything we can without disrupting ser-vice," said union local president Ben Williams. "We're not getting their attention."
The drivers' job action will escalate by Tuesday if B.C. Tran-sit has not returned to the nego-tiating table, Williams said. "It will affect the commuting pub-lic."
More than 650 bus drivers, skilled trades and maintenance workers in Greater Victoria issued strike notice last Friday (Oct. 5).
The two sides remain at an impasse over wage increases and benefits, which are not in line with the B.C. government's
net zero mandate, said Transit spokesperson Meribeth Burton.
"We asked the bargaining com-mittee to go and speak to other unions. There seems to be a lack of understanding about what the co-operative gains mandate is," she said.
The negotiating mandate requires unions to offset any wage increases with cost sav-ings and productivity gains in other areas.
Both the B.C. Nurses Union and B.C. Government Employ-ees Union have come to tenta-tive contract agreements under the mandate.
"Our (offer) is exactly in line with the nurses (and) the BCGEU and we're still surprised we're sitting at this impasse," Burton said.
Williams, however, said the union is aware of the govern-ment's restraints.
"We are within the guidelines that are laid out with the govern-ment," he said.
No specific bargaining details are being provided by either side, but both Williams and B.C. Transit have expressed a desire to return to negotiations.
Burton called the uniform ban a safety violation, from B.C. Transit's perspective.
"It's confusing for our riders but we're grateful that at least the system is running," she said.
Greater Victoria transit oper-ators last took strike action in April 2001. The strike lasted 14 days.
Previous strikes affecting pas-sengers took place in 1999 (one week) and 1984, when a three-month walkout crippled the economy of downtown Victoria.
HandyDART drivers are under a separate collective agree-ment and are not part of the job action.

A sea of orange flooded the sanctuary of First Metropolitan Church on Quadra Street Tuesday night, with an estimated 500 people packing the pews to hear four nominees who hope to fill the shoes of Denise Savoie.
The federal NDP's sole nominee debate took place between four candidate hopefuls – Murray Rankin, Elizabeth Cull, Ben Isitt and Charley Beres-ford – in the run-up to its nomination vote Sunday (Oct. 14) to select a candidate for the upcoming Victoria byelection.
Moderated by Murray Langdon, the debate lasted just over an hour and consisted of audience questions and opening and closing statements by each nominee.
The nominees largely agreed on crowd-pleasing issues like the creation of affordable housing, the need to create stronger partnerships with First Nations, food security, electoral reform and envi-ronmental protection.
In one of the few standout moments of the debate, Rankin ran circles around the other nomi-nees when they were asked to tout their official second language skills.
Rankin is an environmental lawyer and cur-rently leading the B.C. NDP's attempt to stop the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline. He has the support of several NDP MLAs.
Cull served as both finance and health minister in the Mike Harcourt provincial government and say as Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA from 1989 to 1996. She is supported by Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca MP Randall Garrison.
Beresford previously served as a Victoria school board trustee and is currently executive director of the Columbia Institute, a policy group focused on sustainable communities and leadership.
Isitt is an outspoken Victoria city councillor and was last to enter the race. He has been involved in numerous grassroots campaigns and has worked locally for the Cool Aid Society and on several NDP campaigns.
For a minute-by-minute recap of Tuesday's meet-ing, search #yyjNDP on Twitter.
The federal NDP nomination vote, open to the estimated 1,200 Victoria party members, takes place in the Michelle Pujol Room at the University of Victoria starting at 1 p.m. Sunday.
A byelection was called after Denise Savoie stepped down for health reasons in August.

The vast expanses of J.R.R. Tolk-ien’s Middle-earth may be hard to imagine from life inside a prison, but for the inmates of William Head Institution, putting on The Hobbit has been a journey all their own.
Under the direction of Kate Rubin, the William Head Stage The-atre Society is performing Rubin’s adaptation of Tolkien’s beloved novel from Oct. 12 to Nov. 1 at the prison, 6000 William Head Rd.
Rubin has been involved as an actor with two plays at the minimum-security prison before, including last season’s Gormeng-hast. This year she was asked to direct, and she gladly accepted.
On this, the 75th anniver-sary of the publication of the novel, Rubin’s post-industrial adaptation takes a unique look at the tale. The story and dialogue remain true to the source material, but cos-tumes and sets are meant to reflect a more contemporary working-class sensibility. The tone of the play touches on subjects more common to recent newspaper headlines than Tolkien’s Middle-earth.
“It relates to the devastation that can happen from greed,” Rubin said. “The environmen-tal devastation, the social devastation, things breaking down so that there becomes these creatures like Gollum, who has lost his humanity.”
The cast is made up of inmates, plus three professional actresses who are brought in to play the
female roles. Monica Prendergast, Anne Cirillo and Bronwyn Stein-berg have come in as professional actors and two professionals are also involved in the crew: Carole Klemm, the designer, and puppe-teer Tim Gosley.
Admitting she was at first a bit nervous to work with the pris-oners, Steinberg, who plays the elven queen, among other parts, said the experience has been overwhelmingly positive and has reinvigorated her love of theatre and its more human aspects. She has been amazed to see the enthusiasm and commitment of the inmates.
“Even in just the few weeks that I’ve been involved you can see they’ve been building confidence and also just a sense of owner-ship and agency,” Steinberg said. “You can see them just growing through the show and through the process.”
Rubin too, said it’s amazing to see the transformative power of theatre and just how beneficial the process of putting on a play is for the inmates. Many come into the process shy and unsure, Rubin said, but by the end are proud to have been a part of something positive and productive.
“They want to give and they don’t get that opportunity very much,” Rubin said. “Especially someone who feels shame for what they’ve done, and if they’ve come through that shame, there’s a huge need to give.”
Tickets are $20 and are available at Ticket Rocket, 2-1609 Blanshard St., My Chosen Cafe, 4480 Happy Valley Rd., online at TicketRocket.org or by phone at 250-391-6291. For more information on the play call 250-391-7078.
The program is for adults over the age of 19.

A collective of writers who miss the International Literary Arts Festi-val that was the highlight of spring in Victoria for many years has orga-nized the Victoria Writers Festi-val this weekend.
The group has organized two days of events to be held at Camosun Col-lege.
Today, (Oct. 12) events will include readings by Arleen Pare, Susan Mus-grave, Tricia Dower and Bill Gaston and an on-the-spot writing slam.
Saturday events include writing workshops, readings and panel dis-cussions along with Saturday Night
Fevers, readings by Patricia Young, Esi Edugyan, and Brian Brett at 7:30 p.m.
All events take place at Camosun College, most in the Gibson Audito-rium. All cost $10 ($8 for students), except Step Into the Ring and Meet the Creators, which are $3 at the door. Festival passes are available for $30. Writing workshops are $20. Order tickets and passes and register for workshops at victoriawritersfes-tival.com. Or go to Munro’s Books, Ivy’s Bookshop, Camosun College Bookstore or Legends Comics.
From high energy electric classics to beautiful acous-tic works, Led Zepagain res-urrects original Led Zeppe-lin front man Jimmy Page’s soaring guitar leads, John Paul Jones’ brilliant key-board passages, John Bon-ham’s trademark pound-ing rhythms and signature Robert Plant vocals.
Led Zepagain will take Victoria back to the hey day of hair bands with its show at the Upstairs Cabaret, 5 Bastion Square, Oct. 13.
As you experience immortal classics Stairway to Heaven, Immigrant Song, Whole Lotta Love, Rock ‘n’ Roll and Black Dog, you’ll
believe Page is right; Led Zepagain is “as close as you’ll ever get to the real deal.”
Taking on the role of Page is Christian Nesmith, son of famous Monkee Michael Nesmith.
After watching Page perform in Zeppelin’s live concert movie The Song Remains the Same, Nesmith settled his focus on guitar. An avid student of Page from age 13, his intense applica-tion of the tone and style of the master has made Nesmith a guitar master.

It’s not the first time that Evamy has been honoured in this way. In 2008, she won the Show Designer award and in 2009 she was awarded Sidney’s Best in Show. With this year’s win, Evamy is destined to be raised to the masters category, a recognition of her talent that will, unfortunately, preclude her work receiving any future awards in the Sidney Fine Art Show.
“Marion’s work stands out because of its quality,” said Sandy Bligh, chair and designer of the Sidney show. “As a master she can’t win any more awards, but I know we’ll see more of her pieces in the future. Her work is happy … bright and colourful. It’s always an attraction.”
The true measure of Evamy’s success as an artist might be gauged by the success of her tiny gallery on Oak Bay Avenue. The Red Art Gallery opened its doors on Feb. 16, 2011, but the story of the gallery really began four months earlier, when some 300 people made their way through Evamy’s home as part of the Oak Bay Artists Fall Studio Tour. Sales had been
excellent, but it was apparent to Evamy that it might be time to take the next step as an artist. She found the vacant space on Oak Bay Avenue and scrubbed, renovated and painted the tiny space into what is now a thriving, yet unpretentious gallery in the heart of Oak Bay.
Evamy has used the Red Gallery to not only showcase her own work, but as a vehicle to promote other local artists and causes. She has worked with the Garth Homer Artworks program (a program that uses visual art to work with developmentally challenged adults), the Trent Street Art Therapy program, the Four Cats Children Show, and a show that involved Grade 11 art students from Glen Lyon Norfolk School. That last group was paired with seniors from the Shannon Oaks Retirement home and the result was a series of portraits of the seniors, painted by their young partners.
Several other artists work
with Evamy to display their work at the Red Art Gallery, including Deb Garlick, Jennifer Harwood and Lucy Schappy. One of the artists, Leonard
Butt, has established a reputation for his stunning pottery and ceramic sculptures. His work is on display at the Red Art Gallery, and is also slated to win a
major award at the Sidney Fine Art Show.
While it’s clear that Evamy has achieved a remarkable record of accomplishment in the six years that she’s been in Oak Bay, for her it’s not about critical acclaim, or how many painting’s she’s sold. “It’s not work for me,” she said. “It’s a joyful experience that gives me a chance to touch others in a very personal way. How can you lose?”

Lions second, Chargers open
The Lambrick Park Lions kicked off the tournament season as the top women’s high school volleyball team at the Camosun Col-lege high school event during Thanksgiving.
Oak Bay High (AAAA) finished third.
“It was our third straight year mak-ing it to the final only to lose,” said Lions coach Chris Koutou-gus.
The AA Lions, ranked No. 9 in B.C., fell to the No. 2 ranked AAAA team South Delta. Back to captain the Lions this year is Grade 11 Emily Wong, who has been with the team for its past two silver medal runs at the AA girls provin-cials.
The Camosun Char-gers volleyball teams open the PacWest season tonight (Oct. 12) and tomorrow vs. the V.I.U. Mariners, women at 6 and men at 8 p.m. both nights.
Adam Campbell well-suited to task
Travis PatersonNews staff
Kenyan Thomas Omwenga won the GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon for the second year in a row on Sunday, but his record stands from 2011.
Omwenga finished the course on an “unseasonally warm” day with a time of two hours, 20 minutes and 41 sec-onds, which is six minutes slower than his record of 2:13:44 set in 2011. Gilbert Kiptoo, another Kenyan, came second at 2:27:01.
Portland’s Hallie Janssen was the top woman with a time of 2:47:03, just 33 sec-onds ahead of Nadyia Fry (Invermere), the second-overall woman. The two were 14th and 15th overall, with Victo-ria’s Catrin Jones the third woman and 19th overall finisher in a time of 2:49:02.
Easily the most fashionable effort from Sunday’s 33rd annual Victoria Mar-athon was Adam Campbell’s impressive time of 2:35:53. Campbell, a lawyer and ultramarathoner from Victoria, managed not to overheat under autumn sun while wearing a suit, blazer and tie. He should qualify for the Guinness World Records fastest marathon in a suit, breaking the previous time 3:24.
Other notables include Vancouver’s Graeme Wilson, third overall in the mar-athon. Wilson was the top B.C. runner and the top men’s master with a time of 2:29:17, winning the B.C. marathon championship.
First time marathoners, Nikki Jomha and Greg Robbins, two locals featured in the News’ fall series On the Run, finished the race in 4:21:26 and 3:57:40, respec-tively. Barefoot runner Derek Shaw, also part of On the Run, completed the half-marathon in 2:09:47.
Natasha Fraser outdueled Lucy Njeri and broke her own course record in the half-marathon from 2011, with a new record of 1:14:06 to Njeri’s 1:14:27.
Rutto Kibet (Edmonton) was the top
male in the half-marathon with a time of 1:04:27, with Victoria’s Geoff Martinson running to second in 1:05:39.
Local Jim Finlayson was the top mas-ter runner in the half-marathon, his first run in the over-40 master category, fin-ishing in 1:08:51, eighth overall.
Chris Winter (Vancouver) won the eight kilometre road race in 24:13. Rachel Cliff (Vancouver) was the top woman at 27:43
Registration numbers: 2,056 regis-tered for the marathon, 5,503 for the half, 2,844 in the eight-km, 1,100 in the Thrifty Foods Kids Run, for a total of 11,503.

SPORTSNEWS IN BRIEF
Chargers golfers slip in B.C. tie-breaker
The Camosun Chargers men’s golf team is going to the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association Golf National Championships.
The Chargers led the PacWest conference with a five-stroke lead going into the fourth and final tournament over Thanksgiving. That’s where the host Fraser Valley Cascades defeated the Chargers in a tie-breaker to win the 2012 PacWest champi-onship.
Despite slipping to second place in the season’s standings the Chargers will attend the nationals, Oct. 15 to 19, hosted at the Oshawa Golf Club by Durham College in Oshawa, Ont.
“It was a tough weekend for us,” Chargers coach John Randle said in the team’s press release. “It came right down to the wire and we didn’t get it done.”
After the first round of the UFV Invitational at Chilliwack Golf and Country Club, the Chargers led the cumulative season standings by nine strokes, with one round to go to win the championship.
That’s when the lead crumbled. UFV caught the Chargers on Day 2 and, with a cumulative season total of 2,354 strokes each after four tournaments, the two went to a tie-breaker, which UFV won.
“All things considered, the guys played hard and conducted themselves as gentlemen and they represented Camosun with class and skill,” Randle said.
The Chargers settled for silver in the team stand-ings but Jarred Callbeck, who was twice named the PacWest golfer of the week this year, won the men’s gold medal. Callbeck shot a cumulative total of 578 over 144 holes in the fall season, five strokes better than Aaron Pauls of UFV.
The Chargers men’s team are Callbeck (Clare-mont secondary), Jared Hundza (Pacific Christian School), Kevin Walz (Kwalikum secondary, Qual-icum), Grant Maskiewich (Smithers secondary) and Kevin Bredy (Sir Winston Churchill, Calgary, Alta).

Greg Morris can expect some added attention this weekend. Breaking a 13-year-old Canadian Junior Football League rushing record will do that.
The Westshore Rebels running back carried the ball 24 times against the Kamloops Broncos, in Kamloops on Saturday, to an astounding 405 yards, scoring four touchdowns along the way, including a 91-yard scamper.
Morris now leads the league in rush-ing with a total of 1,471 yards and 17 touchdowns scored.
The Rebels move to seven wins and two losses, second place in the B.C. Football Conference standings. The win also eliminated the Broncos from their playoff hopes.
With one regular season game remain-ing, all that’s left to decide for the Reb-els is home advantage in the upcom-ing playoff semifinal against the Langley Rams. This Saturday the Rebels visit the Vancouver Island Raiders, while the Rams face the Okanagan Sun.
Playing against the Raiders in the final game of Morris’ career year is fitting.
It was with the Raiders that current B.C. Lions running back Andrew Harris
broke the 400-yard mark during the 2008 playoffs. And even though Saturday’s game bears no outcome on the Raiders’ plans (they’ll host the Sun in the other semifinal), Morris and the Rebels can expect a strong defensive effort from the Raiders.
Morris needs to run the ball 122 yards to break Matt Medwick’s BCFC rushing record of 1,592 yards in a season, set with the Valley Huskers in 2000. How-ever, five yards is all Morris needs to take Harris’ spot behind Medwick on the season list, ahead of Harris’ best season in 2009.
Surprisingly, the previous single game rushing record in the BCFC, now held by Morris, was not Harris’, but was actu-ally 338 yards, set by Eric Scott of the Richmond Raiders in 1985. Harris broke 338 in the playoffs, but not during the regular season.
Morris also added 50 yards to the previous Canadian record of 355-yards, accomplished by Craig Carter of the Windsor AKO Fratmen in 1999.
Fourteen of Morris’ 17 touchdowns this year are from the rush, which likely puts him out of reach of Harris’ 2009 BCFC league record of 20 TDs rushed, 24 TDs in total.

Victoria Royals Logan Nelson,
No. 19, and Brandon
Magee, No. 18, celebrate a preseason goal versus
the Vancouver Giants.
Don DentonNews staff
First-place Victoria Royals finding identity Travis PatersonNews staff
Call them clutch, call them competitive, call them whatever you want, the Victoria Royals are winning. Through the first eight games the Royals had six wins, half of those came in extra time.
Forward Logan Nelson is one of the most visible reasons the team is off to a great start.
The 19 year old is playing noticably more physical and is chipping in timely goals, like the one he scored to tie the game against the Tri City Americans with 35 seconds left on Saturday to make it 3-3. He then scored the only goal of the shootout to cap a come-from-behind 4-3 vic-tory.
It was his second shootout winner this year.
“I’ve been lucky in the shoo-tout, getting bounces I guess,” Nelson said.
All in all, it was a solid three games in three nights road trip for the Royals, as they bounced back from a 5-3 loss to the Spo-kane Chiefs on Friday to beat the Americans Saturday and Vancou-ver Giants 2-1 on Sunday.
“I really liked the adjustments
we made on Saturday and the resiliency we showed (after Fri-day’s loss),” Lowry said. “We had a goal called back on the powerplay but came back and scored again, and that’s a good sign.”
Saturday was also the second time this season Nelson scored the only goal of the shootout, thereby winning the game for the Royals (in partnership with goalie Patrik Polivka, who has let in zero goals on six shootout attempts). Nelson’s other shoo-tout goal was against the Kam-loops Blazers on Sept. 28, also a 4-3 win.
“We’re much better at staying positive and if they get a goal, we know it’s not the end of the world,” Nelson said. “We’re not going to give up until the buzzer goes, especially when the other team thinks they’ve got the win.”
Without Steven Hodges, who was perhaps the team’s best player in the first three games before getting injured, the recent success of Nelson and the Roy-als is all the more impressive.
As of Wednesday morning, Nelson was second in team scoring with three goals and six assists, behind Alex Gogolev’s three goals and eight assists.
“It’s been up to the older guys to pick it up. We definitely miss Steve in the lineup,” Nelson said.
“Gogolev has been great. He’s got eyes in the back of his head finding guys out there.”
With Hodges out, Nelson moved off of Gogolev’s line and, onto a line with Jamie Crooks and Austin Carroll, though Nel-son and Gogolev have skated together on the powerplay and with the extra attacker.
“I’ve been able to be compat-ible with (Crooks) and (Carroll) and game-by-game, we’re getting better,” Nelson said.
Trend or no trend, coming back from behind and winning in extra time is the biggest dif-ference from last year’s Royals, and coach Dave Lowry isn’t picky right now about the way his team wins.
“This is a team searching for an identity right now,” Lowry said, “coming from behind, win-ning close games, winning in shootouts. When you’re winning you’re looking for new ways to challenge the team just as you would when you’re losing.”
The Royals results from Wednesday’s game against the Kamloops Blazers were past press time.

PEERS Victoria is fighting hard to keep its doors open to some of the Capital Region’s most vulnerable peo-ple.
In the past three years, the non-profit organization, which helps more than 500 sex workers each year, has seen its monthly pro-vincial funding shrivel from $32,000 to $6,000.
“Our bare-bones bud-get is $16,000 a month, but we’re continuing to operate on our $6,000 funding because we believe there will be a way to get through this,” said PEERS executive director Marion Little.
The funding shortage is a result of the provincial govern-ment’s shift in April from annual grants to a fee-for-service sys-tem, where non-profits must apply for individual program grants and register their users in an integrated system.
“We’re not willing to hustle our clients. People can come through our door and receive
unconditional welcome,” Little said. “They don’t need to give us their name or social insur-ance number and can get a hot meal, see a doctor, shower and get clean clothes.”
Historically, PEERS has employed former sex workers to mentor new users. But with a reduction in staff hours, that model has been postponed due to a lack of supervision, Little said.
“We work with street-
involved people, as well as those who are working at escort agencies, ensuring they have access to medical care and can ask the questions they need to ask.”
The organization delivers programs ranging from com-puter literacy courses to abuse and trauma workshops.
Little spoke at a recent Esquimalt coun-cil meeting and suc-cessfully convinced councillors to include PEERS in its annual list of permissive tax exemptions, after the non-profit missed the application deadline.
“A tax exemption is about $10,000 a year to us. That’s a big deal,” she said.
Council was sympathetic to Little, who explained 60 to 70 per cent of PEERS users live in Esquimalt, while the majority of other users live along the township’s boundaries.
Council approved permissive tax exemptions for 14 organiza-tions including PEERS.
