Louise Baril has never offi-cially kept track, but she estimates she’s already read

some 20,000 books in her lifetime.The 72-year-old doesn’t go

through them as fast as she used to, but that can be chalked up to her health – not a lack of interest, by any means.

A stroke in November 2008 left her with little use of her right hand, and significant weakness in her right foot. As a result, Baril is a shut-in in her Quadra Street apartment in Saanich.

“I always went to the library before my stroke. I’d pick up five books, rush through them and return them before the time was up,” Baril says. “And I’ve always done this. When I was a kid my dad was a big influence in my reading. He took me by the hand into the public library in Exeter, (Ont.) and got me hooked on reading.”

Unable to leave her home on her own to venture to the nearby Emily Carr branch as she used to do, Baril says she’s lucky to have found the Greater Victoria Public Library’s visiting library service.

Once a month, a volunteer will

deliver a stack of books to Baril’s home. The books are carefully selected by GVPL employees who know the genres, authors and types of books she enjoys.

“Nothing is just thrown in the bag. We give (clients) unique items they’ve never had before each time,” says Andrea Brim-

mell, the assistive services co-ordinator with the GVPL. “We’re always trying to find them the best materials.”

Some 300 residents in Greater Victoria take advantage of the vis-iting library service, which is run out of the Emily Carr, Central and Juan de Fuca branches.

Clients – mostly seniors – who are confined to their homes due to such things as illness and frailty, complete a reader profile that allows them to choose mate-rial they would like delivered.

Stolen once in Saanich, dog enters protective custodyEdward HillNews staff

A nine-month old husky remains in protective custody after a woman, who allegedly stole the dog from a Saanich home in April, returned to the scene of the crime.

Saanich police arrested a 30-year-old Squamish woman on May 2 after she came to the home in the 700 block of Haliburton Rd., in breach of a court order.

Police allege the same woman stole Timber the dog from the Haliburton Road home and spirited him back to the Mainland on April 23. Whistler RCMP arrested her on suspicion of break and enter and theft, and she was released under conditions.

Last Thursday the Saanich family, which had adopted the dog a few weeks ago, reported to police that the woman returned back to their home and pleaded for the dog.

“The family opted not to take the dog back for this very reason,” said Saanich police Sgt. Steve Eassie. “They were concerned the previous owner would come back.”

The woman went to the Victoria SPCA shelter in an presumed attempt to locate the dog, and was arrested for breaching a court order. Eas-sie said the dog is in a safe place but isn’t at the SPCA.

PlEASE SEE: Book delivery, Page A4

“The dog is in a safe location that won’t be disclosed. It’s not at the shel-ter and its not at the previous home,” Eassie said.

Bob Busch, general manger of operations with the B.C. SPCA, said the dog was moved to an undisclosed location due to “numerous incidents” with the previous owner. The Saanich family has opted not to readopt Tim-ber, he said.

“They’ve been through enough. I feel bad for them. They’ve been caught in the middle,” he said.

The husky ended up in Whistler RCMP possession on April 6, and was turned over to the Whistler animal

shelter, Busch said. The owner was contacted and given three days to reclaim the animal.

That didn’t happen, and the Whis-tler pound handed the husky to the SPCA on April 11 for re-adoption.

Busch said it’s rare for people to steal back pets.

“We’ve seen this before, but it’s rare for someone to be arrested twice for an incident,” he said. “It’s such an unusual case I can’t see it happening to the same degree for some time.”

Erica Wilchuk, 30, is in custody and scheduled for a court appearance today (May 8) on charges of being unlawfully in a house, possession of stolen property and breach of a court order.

SAANICH NEWS - Wednesday, May 8, 2013 www.vicnews.com • A3

Of all the ethical debates circling B.C. electoral candidates,

there are few more polarizing than oil tankers and pipelines.

Most Vancouver Islanders lean left on natural resource exportation and environmental protection, as suggested by consistently higher support for both the NDP and B.C. Greens in opinion polls.

Currently, the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline snakes its way from Alberta to the West Coast, pumping 300,000 barrels of oil each day to its Burnaby terminal and various other locations.

On average, five tankers navigate the shores off Greater Victoria and through the Burrard Inlet each month, but Kinder Morgan wants to twin the pipeline and triple its capacity.

Combined with an expanded terminal in Burnaby, Kinder Morgan estmates the increase would mean another 29 tankers in the Strait of Juan de Fuca each month, an issue that weighs heavily on the minds of voters in coastal communities, said Jessica Van der Veen, B.C. NDP candidate in Oak Bay-Gordon Head.

“The people of Vancouver and Greater Victoria do not think this is a realistic thing, to turn Vancouver into a major bitumen exporting port. It’s just not what British Columbians want,” she said.

Van der Veen said the next government will face the task of diversifying the energy economy, adding that she would advocate to reduce energy demand by providing subsidies for retrofitting through carbon tax revenues.

The B.C. NDP is opposed to both Kinder Morgan’s plans and the proposed Enbridge Northern

Gateway project.B.C. Green party leader

Jane Sterk is also opposed to pipeline expansion, but she wouldn’t consider an immediate moratorium on tanker traffic on the southern coast.

“We know that bitumen oil is not going to get any cheaper (to extract), and it’s at a point now

where the economics of it mean it may be too expensive to be part of our economy going forward,” said Sterk, the Greens’ Victoria-Beacon Hill candidate.

She advocates for a low-carbon economy by relaxing the regulatory process around wind and thermal energy, and expanding the use of affordable solar panels on residential homes through partnership with

B.C. Hydro.“The potential for

renewable energy is just massive,” Sterk said.

The B.C. Conservative Party is staunchly pro-pipeline, but any expansion should be balanced with strict environmental protection measures, said Joshua Galbraith, Saanich South B.C. Conservative candidate.

While the concerns about tanker traffic are justified on Vancouver Island, northern B.C. residents will need to make their own decision on the benefits and risks of the Enbridge proposal, Galbraith said.

“There’s definitely two sides to it. I’ve heard people say they don’t want a pipeline, period, but then others say we need this pipeline to get the jobs and economic benefits that go along with it,” he said. “You should be able to balance smart economic policy with smart environmental policy.”

The B.C. Liberals

champion Premier Christy Clark’s five conditions for the Northern Gateway pipeline, which include creating “world-class” oil spill response, prevention and recovery systems on land and sea, the successful completion of a federal environmental review and a fair share of fiscal and economic benefits with other stakeholders.

But voters remain “cautious and curious” about those conditions, said Christina Bates, B.C. Liberal candidate in Victoria-Swan Lake.

“It’s not enough to just say there are five conditions,” she said.

“People need to be informed that the first three of them are environmental (conditions) and they need to be met before anything else is considered.”

On increased tanker traffic on the southern coast, Bates said Kinder Morgan’s track record speaks for itself.

“Kinder Morgan has had tanker traffic for 50

years on the coast and there have been no major spills,” Bates said.

COMMUNITYNEWSIN BRIEF

Motorcyclist dies in Shelbourne crash

A 26-year-old motorcyclist is dead after driving off road along Shelbourne Street late Saturday night, and hitting a street sign and a tree.

The incident occurred at 11:23 p.m. when the north-bound motorcyclist left the road near North Dairy Road.

Police say multiple bystanders attended to the young man, performing CPR on him until police, fire and ambulance crews arrived.

The man was taken to Vic-toria General Hospital, but succumbed to his injuries.

Saanich police and the B.C. Coroners Service are still investigating the cause of the single-vehicle crash, but speed appears to be a likely factor.

The Coroners Service said the man who died is Alan Shang Fung Tam, of Saan-ich.

Target store opens at Tillicum Centre

The retail landscape in Vic-toria just got a whole lot big-ger this week, as the first of two new Target department stores opened its doors.

The store at Tillicum Cen-tre, which took over the space previously occupied by Zellers, opened Tuesday morning.

The two-floor, 121,000-square-foot store was one of 22 Target loca-tions set to open this week in Western Canada, including nine in B.C.

Tony Fisher, president of Target Canada, said the intention is to make the stores “a one-stop-shop destination” for guests, as locations include such fea-tures as a grocery section, a pharmacy and an in-store Starbucks.

Each former Zellers loca-tion underwent (or is under-going) a $10- to $12-million renovation to transform the space into Target.

Another Target location at Hillside Centre is still under construction as part of that mall’s expansion. That 150,000 square foot store is set to open by May 2014.

“It’s very important for us to outreach to these people who can’t come to the libraries,” Brimmell says. “We do a lot of literacy outreach with young children, but at the other end

of the spectrum, we don’t want seniors to fall off our radar. And they need us.”

Rheta Steer has been a vol-unteer driver for the visiting library service since 1997. The 76-year-old currently has two routes, dropping off books and

CDs to some 20 GVPL clients once a month.

She and Baril have struck up a friendship in the three years she’s been delivering to Baril’s home.

“I love meeting people. I love helping people,” says Steer, a

retired teacher. “After 35 years of working in the classroom with children, now I’m able to be in a helping role with just a different age group, people in a dif-ferent situation.

“I know all my cli-ents appreciate this service. Every time I go out they’re saying how wonderful it is, how thankful they are. So I get something out of that. I feel it’s appreci-ated.”

Brimmell says the visiting library service, which has been around for at least three decades, wouldn’t be possible without the 40 volunteer drivers.

“They’re vital to the service. They not only deliver the mate-rial, they chat with the people. And because they’re shut-ins, it’s vital for them to have someone to talk to.”

Book delivery gives social avenues to shut-in people

Police arrested two men Friday morning for stealing high-end racing bicycles from the Saanich home that acts as the headquar-ters for the Subaru Western Triathlon Series.

A resident living in the lower suite of the house called Saanich police at 3:30 a.m. after seeing two men run-ning from the home, with one carrying a bicycle, in the 700-block of Sayward Rd.

Officers and a canine unit descended on the area and eventually located a 32-year-old man and a 50-year-old man, both residents of Saanich. The suspects were hiding in tall grass in separate loca-tions near the Pat Bay Highway, police say.

Police also found $40,000 worth of racing bikes, bike frames and gear stashed in bushes, and returned them to the owner.

A Western Triathlon employee confirmed the house was robbed.

The two suspects have a court date in June to face charges of breaking and entering and [email protected]

Tucked away among the lush woodland and pristine waters surrounding rural Saanich’s Prospect Lake sits its epony-mous elementary school, where the students’ love of nature now transcends far beyond simply playing amid the trees at recess.

Late last month the school launched its outdoor learning space, which, when complete, will provide the kids with a number of direct-to-nature edu-cation opportunities.

“We looked at where the school is situated. It’s in a rural area, it’s quiet, we’ve got a for-est in the back. How can we take these kids who are already playing in the dirt and sand, and get them interested?” said Sat Lail, a Grade 2/3 teacher.

The outdoor learning space is a multi-phase project that begins with the construction of eight three-foot by 10-foot garden beds. Each class gets its own garden and will plant what-ever flora the students want to grow.

Grade 4/5 teacher Laurel Evans said her students stu-

dents researched such topics soil types, native plants, and how often different plants need watering before the class chose their seeds.

“Most classes are looking at growing food. Some might be doing science experiments – comparing growth of a variety. They might be growing veg-etables to make a salad they’re going to enjoy June,” Evans said.

“Kids can lose interest (in a lesson) really easily when they see the same thing year after year. Creating real engagement with authentic things, getting outside, getting them to make inquiries with their own learn-ing, and applying their math, social studies, science, writing – it’s all about using our outside environment to engage them in their learning.”

The next phases involve building a natural outdoor play space, creating a trail leading out to the forest and nearby stream, and maintaining a native plant rain garden at the front of the school.

“It was just such a natural fit to do this and make use of this space,” Evans said.

Grade 3 student Ellington Peacock said he likes learning about the environment, and cited worm trivia he learned in science class as one way he’s tying his schooling into the out-door learning space.

“A few months ago in science we learned that worms have five pairs of hearts, so that’s 10 hearts. And if they’re cut in half they will die. But if you cut their tail end off it’ll grow back,” he said.

Prospect Lake principal Mark Guiguet said engaging the stu-dents with different learning opportunities is key to their education.

“We feel that these outdoor learning spaces, with the staff that we have, will move our children forward … in becom-ing more self-directed and moti-vated to learn,” he said.

The entire project comes with a price tag of about $40,000. The school is looking for dona-tions in the form of grants, money or in-kind help.

Individuals or organizations interested in donating to Pros-pect Lake elementary can con-tact Guiguet at 250-727-3314.

Rishi SharmaB.C. Liberal Partyrishiforsaanich.com

What is the most important issue in this election?

Citizen disengagement.This is the result of people

knowing that it doesn’t matter what they say to their MLA, their voices mean nothing against party discipline about voting.

By electing an MLA who can speak freely – and vote on his or her constituents’ behalf – voters will start to understand the con-cept of “people first, party sec-ond.” That will definitely be a sig-nificant step in the right direction.

What specific priorities would you focus on in your constituency?

Saanich South has a diverse population, with a large propor-tion of seniors. I would focus on better ways to address seniors’ needs, and on bringing them back into the mainstream, rather than isolating them.

Transportation is another issue that needs attention and creative alternatives to relieve traffic congestion, particularly on Mackenzie and Highway 1.

Do you support regional sewage treatment? Why or why not?

I do support sewage treat-ment. However, I do not support the current plan. Let’s investigate all the options again, and carry out a real environmental assess-ment of any treatment proposal before going forward.

One billion dollars is a stagger-ing price tag. We want to be sure it’s being spent wisely, because this is a legacy project that will have to stand the test of time.

What direction should B.C. go in terms of its energy pol-icy? Oil and gas? Renewables?

There is a lot of talk about LNG these days. Unfortunately, it’s not the salvation people claim. Environmental impacts are too damaging and the product is volatile and dangerous.

Renewable energy simply is the only sane route for the future. It’s becoming less expensive to produce, and B.C. is ideally situated to become the No. 1 exporter of clean energy in the world – if we start putting spe-cialized skills training and build-ing processes in place now.

B.C. Election 2013: Saanich South candidates


To me the most important issue in this election is that democracy is reinstated, and that we are governed by a com-petent premier elected by the representatives of the people.

We are all Canadians and should not be subject to the dic-tates of one party.


Represent the people of my riding in their endeavor to be heard.


On sewage treatment, my stand is with the many experts that say we don’t need it, as we are fortunate to live in a place where nature does a good job disposing of it.

What direction should B.C. go in terms of its energy policy? Oil and gas? Renew-ables?

Electricity is the cleanest energy we have, especially pro-duced by hydro stations. Let the railway, buses and cars be elec-tric, and the heating and appli-ances. That will be a green world then.


This important election is a stark choice between two visions for the future of B.C.: a clear one, and a murky one. While other parties have hesitated to release their plans and how they’ll pay for them, Today’s B.C. Liberals have put forth clear, fully-costed plans for prosperity.

That’s the type of leadership that has helped B.C. maintain a stable economy despite trying economic times. We can’t afford to go off track now.


Most of the people I’ve talked to say the economy is the big-gest issue, and I tend to agree with them—but to me, it’s impor-tant that we grow the economy while protecting our environment.

I also want to bring the notion of customer service back to Saa-nich South. On the doorsteps, residents are telling me they feel ignored. Taxpayers pay my sal-ary; I want to be the loud, local voice they’re looking for.


The province has already com-mitted its share of funding for this project, believing it’s better to treat sewage instead of dump-ing it into the ocean. I agree, but understand the concerns people have around the facility’s cost, location and other factors.

Emotions are high on this issue, and perhaps we need more consultation for those who feel their voices haven’t been heard. We need to make sure we do this right and address the concerns of the communities involved.


Our focus should be on lique-fied natural gas (LNG) and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity it presents. With regards to heavy oil, Today’s B.C. Liberals have been very clear. We have five strict conditions around the envi-ronmental assessment process, spill prevention and response, and the benefits to B.C. and First Nations.

These conditions must be met before any pipeline could ever be approved.


Skills training, economic growth, healthcare, education and the environment. The B.C. New Democrats have laid out practical steps for how we would address all these issues in our platform.

And we have fully costed our commitments and clearly stated how we would generate the nec-essary revenue.


Improve care for seniors, espe-cially home support and commu-nity care. Improve skills training and apprenticeship system for students and employers.

Ensure completion of safety improvements underway at the Pat Bay and Sayward road inter-section. Improve learning con-dition for our children by hiring new teachers, education assis-tants, librarians and counsellors.

I will continue to advance the issues most strongly advocated for by the residents of Saanich South.


Yes. We cannot use the ocean as a dumping ground for raw sewage forever. It is the respon-sibility of the Capital Regional District to develop a plan that addresses environmental con-cerns, that is cost-effective and efficient – and that earns broad support from the public.


The New Democrats under-stand that our economic well-being is linked to a sustainable and diversified resource econ-omy.

We oppose the Enbridge Northern Gateway and Kinder Morgan pipelines because the few benefits to British Columbi-ans are vastly outweighed by the risk to our environment. We sup-port Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) so long as environmental con-cerns are addressed.

We would also encourage the development of green energy options.


From talking with people within the riding, there is a lot of envi-ronmental awareness in this riding, and also a lot of desire for fiscal responsibility. I do not believe that these two issues need to be mutually exclusive.

I would like to see smart envi-ronmental policies that find ways to grow the economy as well. The other thing I would note is that there are a lot of people who are fed up with the current two-party system.


Saanich South is very diverse. We have urban areas and we have rural areas. We have farm-ers and we have businessmen. We have university students and we have seniors.

My priority would be to make sure that my office is able to hear all of these issues and represent them in the legislature.

There is often a lot of voter apathy towards the political pro-cess due to people not believ-ing that their vote matters. This needs to change.


The responsibility for regional sewage treatment will fall heav-ily on the backs of the regional district politicians. Therefore, I feel that their recommendations should be weighed.

I have heard a lot of back and forth over the current sewage treatment plan and I would say that any finalized plan would have to make environmental sense. If the plant is creating more long term environmental problems than our current set-up then there is no reason to go through with it.


B.C. should be willing to be diverse in its energy policy. We have a tremendous hydro-elec-tric sector, and great potential in our oil and gas sector.

When we look at policies we should examine what makes the most sense, not just in the short term but in the long term as well. We want to leave the province better than how we found it for the next generation.

Eyestrain... One causeUndetected farsightedness (HYPEROPIA) is a

common cause of eyestrain. How can farsighted-ness go undetected? It can’t, of course, if you have your eyes examined routinely.

People can mask small to moderate amounts of farsightedness by using the eye muscles to see dis-tant objects. Even more muscular effort is required to focus on near objects. This action is known as “ACCOMMODATION”. Constant accommodation to see causes significant eyestrain and fatigue.

Ideally, the eyes should not require any focus-ing to see faraway objects clearly. The eye muscles should be totally relaxed. This would leave all the accommodation available to focus in on near tasks. When the eyes are already focusing to see distant objects, the added effort to focus on near work can be very tiring.

When we are young we accommodate uncon-sciously and small amounts of farsightedness can be ignored if vision is good. Since children have a huge capacity to accommodate a parent may miss the sometimes subtle signs of higher amounts of hyperopia. The resulting eyestrain can lead to the avoidance of near tasks. Slower reading develop-ment is common in children with significant hy-peropia. In some farsighted children the focusing effort may even cause crossed eyes.

A person’s ability to accommodate decreases with age. Eventually most farsighted people seek help, but they first may have endured years of un-necessary discomfort. Children should be exam-ined, even in the absence of complaints because they may not be aware that they are working their eyes harder than is necessary.

Victoria-Swan Lake candidates

What would be your focus in terms of transportation in Greater Victoria?

We need to develop a plan to effectively and efficiently move people and goods around the South Island in an environmen-tally responsible manner.

This plan needs to include road, rail, sea and air. Victorians use all manner of ways to get around, from personal vehicles, to transit, bicycles and walking. Each is equally important and needs fair consideration.


Victoria-Swan Lake is an area of the province where the aver-age person earns less then the median throughout the province. This is an issue that needs to be addressed.

We have a burgeoning tech sector in Victoria. By provid-ing skills training, expanding the B.C. Training Tax Credit Program, and expanding the Small Busi-ness Venture Capital program, we can encourage this boom in our tech sector, providing much needed jobs.

Another, equally important approach is small business development within the area.


There is great debate on both sides, supporting or not support-ing secondary treatment of our sewage.

The facts are: the federal gov-ernment has mandated second-ary treatment, the province has agreed to cover one third of the costs, and the implementation of treatment is an issue for the Capital Region to decide.


Of course we all want energy that is renewable, with no carbon emissions, and in good old Tesla fashion – free! However, that isn’t going to happen overnight.

Now, if I must choose between oil and gas, I choose natural gas. We have an abundance of natu-ral gas in the province and it is a much safer product to transport, domestically and internationally.

Globally speaking, by pro-viding natural gas to China we are helping to reduce carbon emissions as China reduces its dependency on coal.


We need an immediate solu-tion to the congestion on our roadways and we must address the issue of declining bus rider-ship in the CRD.

A comprehensive regional transit strategy paired with HOV lanes will help to reduce conges-tion immediately. Going forward we would provide tax incentives for transit use and location-effi-cient mortgages.


I would focus on ending home-lessness in Victoria by providing affordable housing, which is both cost efficient and humanitarian.

I would advocate for amalga-mation of the Capital Regional District to harmonize services between Saanich and Victoria. I would rethink our transit strategy in order to reduce congestion on our roads. I would also reinvest in the rehabilitation and mainte-nance of our parks, particularly Topaz park, to continue to pro-vide clean green space.


Our approach to sewage in Victoria must be a long-term community approach. We need to examine each individual community within the CRD and ascertain the best pos-sible sewage treatment for that area before we proceed with a regional treatment strategy.

We should not spend $800 million on a plan that uses old technology and poses a danger to Victoria residents.


The oil and gas industries pro-vide a few, short-term jobs but the real investment returns go to shareholders in the oil compa-nies, most of whom do not live in B.C.

On the other hand, B.C. has the potential to be a world leader in the renewable energy sector. The Green party believes that we should invest in this sector so that all of us share in the profits.


Improving transportation infra-structure and expanding pub-lic transit service is a must. To reduce traffic congestion, lower greenhouse gas emissions and create jobs, the NDP will sup-port better bus service and build green infrastructure with a por-tion of B.C.’s carbon tax reve-nue. I support the Capital Region having its own transportation authority to leverage funding for our transportation priorities.


Support economic devel-opment, small business and opportunities for young people. Invest in advanced education, skills training and apprentice-ship opportunities. We have to make childcare more affordable for families. We need to help seniors live in dignity with bet-ter home care supports. Fix the B.C. Liberal cuts to post-sec-ondary education and invest in the knowledge-based economy. Help students reduce high debt loads upon graduation.


Yes. Canada’s new national wastewater effluent regulations won’t permit coastal communi-ties like Victoria to discharge hundreds of millions of litres of raw, untreated sewage into the ocean. Current practices are in non-compliance with B.C.’s con-taminated sites regulation and water quality guidelines because of excessive concentrations of dozens of chemicals on the sea-floor around the outfalls.


A new government needs to rescue B.C. Hydro – one of B.C.’s greatest assets with clean, renewable and affordable elec-tricity. It’s been weighed down in debt from Liberal mismanage-ment. Conserving energy through retrofits creates the cheapest ‘new’ source of energy and cre-ates green trades jobs. Wind can complement hydroelectric, and geothermal potential is beneath our feet. B.C. natural gas can help transition countries without clean electricity to a low-carbon future.

OUR VIEW

When Adrian Dix took over as B.C. NDP leader two years ago, he struggled to

communicate, especially in the sound bites of radio and TV.

There was a running joke in the legislature press gallery: It didn’t matter what question you asked him, you got a six-minute answer that ended with the evils of log exports.

Even more than under Carole James, the NDP railed against log exports. “B.C. logs for B.C. jobs” became one of Dix’s favourite slogans. As the election approached, another Dixism was heard daily: “Say what you’re going to do, say how you’re going to pay for it.”

So it was a surprise a few weeks ago when the NDP signaled it would essentially not offer a policy on log exports. They’re going to meet with “stakeholders” and come up with a plan after they get a majority government.

This is exactly the same non-policy the NDP had in 2009. They don’t have an answer to the industry’s point that the high price gained by premium logs in foreign markets is what keeps many loggers working, and subsidizes the harvest of other logs for B.C. coastal mills.

Another thing the NDP doesn’t like is private power development.

This issue featured prominently in the NDP leadership contest two years ago.

Leadership contender Mike Farnworth told the party faithful he would study independent power purchase contracts, and if he found that they are not in the public interest, he would “mend them or end them.” Another leadership hopeful, energy critic John Horgan, allowed that he would “break” contracts if necessary.

By this spring, Dix had a new non-position on

power purchase contracts. He will “assess them and address them.” The printed platform promises a review “within the limits of existing contracts.” Either they plan to risk a costly legal battle, or they’re just paying lip service. All you have to do to find out is elect them.

Labour code changes are another blank slate. A memo from the B.C. Federation of Labour executive to members last year described how they were working closely with the NDP to rewrite B.C. labour law.

The NDP election platform punts this issue until after the election as well, promising an independent expert panel to decide on issues like whether to end secret-ballot votes for union certification.

This isn’t just a bad idea, it’s a 30-year-old bad idea. It’s based on the destructive old notion

that employers are the enemy of workers, and only a union can protect them. The long decline of union membership in the private sector isn’t caused by employer bullying or secret-ballot votes that protect employees’ freedom of choice. The cause is global competition. The only protection workers have from that is their own efficiency.

Balancing the budget? An NDP government will strive to do that over “the business cycle,” says finance critic Bruce Ralston. Old-timers might remember this one. It’s taken from the NDP’s 1991 election platform.

Yes, 22 years ago there was a widespread belief in a predictable four-year cycle of commodity prices and other economic determinants. Whatever was left of that dusty, faded picture was erased with the financial collapse of 2008.

If you still believe in a predictable “business cycle,” you may be willing to accept that an NDP-led B.C. will become the first jurisdiction in human history to eliminate poverty, by setting annual targets and paying out borrowed money to low-income parents.

On ferries, fracking, union contracts, capital construction and other weighty matters, the NDP’s answer is the same: trust us.

NDP to B.C. voters: trust us

‘Balancing the budget over the business cycle is from the NDP’s 1991 platform.’

Tanker paranoia doesn’t help B.C.During election campaigns, any talk of

economic development tends to be taken with a grain of salt, often viewed as

overly optimistic predictions.It’s no surprise then, that as the B.C. NDP

and B.C. Liberals vie to become our next government, the issues of pipeline projects and the prospect of additional tanker traffic on B.C.’s coast have voters fired up.

In Greater Victoria, for example, many people find abhorrent the notion that dozens more oil tankers could one day be sailing past our pristine waterfront areas, if Kinder Morgan is granted permission to twin its Trans Mountain pipeline to Burnaby.

It’s easy to forget, as we stroll, run or bike along the Dallas Road walkway, or pathways in Oak Bay or Cadboro Bay, that the ocean which makes our views so scenic is a busy commercial waterway. Has been for years.

Asked why having more oil tankers on that marine highway is a bad thing, people inevitably warn of the potential for an environmental disaster, should a ship run aground or spring a leak in its double-hulled steel. They’ll point to the Exxon Valdez as an example of the environmental havoc a marine accident can wreak.

Let’s face it, when it comes to operating anything mechanical, whether it’s heavy equipment, a motor vehicle, a jet airplane or a huge ship, human error is always a possibility. And the consequences can be devastating.

But do we ban flying because planes can crash? Or ban motor vehicles knowing that people die every year in collisions?

Out of the hundreds of large ships that annually traverse the Strait of Juan de Fuca oil tankers and container ships alike – how many have run aground in anyone’s memory?

No one can predict when or if such a disaster might happen. But limiting such a vital transportation link and economic driver is akin to pulling the sheets over our heads and staying in bed.

That’s not the mindset that will help B.C. grow and prosper, especially at a time when we’re struggling to find our competitive niche in a still-shaky global economy.

Sunny days are here againCurran Crawford and dog Sobey come in after paddleboarding at Cadboro Bay on Sunday. Three-year-old Sobey has enjoyed the sport for about two years. Environment Canada forecasts sunny weather and temperatures in the mid-20s for the rest of the week for Greater Victoria.

A vision for Saanich community gardens

In February, Saanich pro-posed a community garden behind Commonwealth Place.

The plan would convert an open field to gardens in two phases, eliminating uses by kids, athletics and neighbours' dog-walking.

Residents and parents resisted. And community gar-den proponents have a different vision from Saanich’s proposed plan.

It is a vision both larger and smaller, while supporting youth athletics and dog-walking with focus on community-building.

The smaller Commonwealth garden site (less than half the proposed field) would focus on special aspects: Teaching and youth programs; persons with accessibility restrictions; limited space for family gardens.

This is Phase 1 of an inte-grated vision. Phase 2 is a larger Cordwood Heritage Park in the field across from Royal Oak shopping centre.

Community visions for the Cordwood include: A handsome streetscape along West Saanich Road with fruit and nut trees including native and heritage varieties; terraced interior with vegetable gardens for more than 100 families; protecting a vista onto the historic Malt-wood estate and a heritage park recalling the 1910 Cordwood (Victoria & Sidney) railway.

This has support of Royal Oak residents, businesses, church, community association members, service clubs and many others.

We see this integrated vision building a vibrant, connected, resilient, shared Royal Oak with greater opportunities for all.

Resource economy more than LNG

In this election, with so much focus on the unparalleled opportunity of exporting B.C.’s natural gas to Asia, it’s easy to overlook the many other equally impressive export and job creation opportunities that

are underway here in B.C. Over the next two to

three years, eight new mines are slated to open in B.C. and another nine are being expanded. This will add as many as 10,000 new jobs and generate close to $1.6 billion in new revenue for the people of this province.

We have so many opportuni-ties available to us here in B.C. but we have to be sure to seize on them so we can continue building a solid future we can be proud of to pass on to our children.

Critical cartoon fair comment

Re: Cartoonist was off the mark with candidate commen-tary (Letters, May 3)

Perhaps the letter writer is not old enough to remember the line Adrian Dix crossed in 2000 when he lied to RCMP in regard to then-premier Glen Clark’s investigation.

I believe the cartoonist is fair and in his political endeavours. Keep up the good work.

Local governments let deer run rampant

I am appalled at the Capital Regional District and the municipalities’ refusal to deal with the urban deer pest population.

Exposing citizens to deer carried Lyme disease, a serious and debilitating illness, is totally reprehensible.

Why are the animals which spread Lyme disease allowed to roam our gardens and streets?

Allowing the destruction of our fragile native species oasis parks by damage from concentrated deer populations, exposes the lie of all the CRD and municipal noise and pretty pamphlets on their efforts to support native plant species.

As well, we have seen many near accidents with deer, cars and bicyclists, making it clear that at some point we are going to be facing injuries to people.

And not just on the roads. The very busy public foot path on Henderson Lane has seen several near-miss serious accidents with frightened deer pelting along it.

In our own case, as homeowners, it has been a nightmare for us these last three years as deer – up to four at a time, destroy our cherished trees, plants and vegetables, in our front and back gardens.

The deer have destroyed our garden and native plants. They have made it impossible to grow vegetables.

When we want to go into our back garden – which is invaded on average twice a week – we pick up a rake for protection and search around carefully for deer, to avoid provoking an attack on ourselves.

When we startle hidden deer, they bolt wildly, especially when they are protecting does.

Surely the goals of protecting human and pet health, growing one’s own fruit and vegetables, feeling safe in your community, and nourishing a viable natural garden are important goals for everyone. It is what the communities within the CRD promote – they just don’t do it.

Saanich woman injured in crash with police car

A 38-year-old Saanich woman is in hospital after a serious collision with an unmarked VicPD patrol car.

Two VicPD officers were trans-porting a suspect to jail around 8:30 p.m. Sunday and were driv-ing eastbound on Chattham Street through Government Street when the motorcyclist struck the car.

Preliminary witness accounts stated that the police car was trav-eling on the green light, said Const. Mike Russell.

The woman was transported to the hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.

The Independent Investigations Office of B.C. was notified of the accident, but will not be investigat-ing, Russell said.

Work on McKenize Avenue planned near UVic

Upgrades to McKenzie Avenue near the University of Victoria could begin as early as mid-May.

Saanich council on Monday was expected to approve awarding a $3.27-million contract to G&E Con-tracting LP to rebuild the busy road

between McGill and Finnerty roads.New bike lanes, left turn lanes

and grassy medians will be installed, a traffic light at a new intersection (Phoenix Road at McK-enzie) will be built, and the traffic light at Finnerty will be replaced by a traffic circle.

A second phase of upgrades to McKenzie, between Shelbourne Street and Gordon Head Road, is tentatively set to begin towards the end of the month. The roadway, running some 800 metres between intersections, will lose one west-bound lane to accommodate new bike lanes on both sides of the road.

Eastbound on McKenzie toward UVic will remain two lanes. Going westbound past Gordon Head Road will become a single lane.

That roadwork will be done by Saanich crews, as opposed to a contractor.

Project manager Brad Ormis-ton says it’ll take between six and seven months to complete the McKenzie Avenue upgrades.

CorrectionThe date for the Cadboro Bay

emergency preparedness annual general meeting listed in last Wednesday’s edition of the News was incorrect and apologizes for the error.

The meeting happens Saturday, May 11 at 10 a.m. at Cadboro Bay United Church, 2625 Arbutus Rd.

COMMUNITYNEWSIN BRIEF


Trades trial runCamosun College student instructor Stu Merrifield, left, helps Matt Daniel, 13, build a mini staircase during Camosun’s annual open house at the Interurban campus on Friday.


It’s 11:15 on a sunny Sunday morning at Clover Point and

owners with leashed pooches in tow begin to gather around Asia and Jim Moore.

The couple have operated K-9 Superheroes Dog Whispering service for the past six years and host a group dog walk with current and past clients on weekends, rain or shine.

Teaching dog psychology – the more clinical name for dog whispering – is their primary stock in trade and applies to both the animals and their owners, Asia says.

“There’s lots of dog lovers out there, but loving a dog is not enough,” she says.

“People continue to get dogs when they don’t have the capacity to give them what they need.”

Socialization, one of the main reasons for the regular group walks, is crucial for dogs, she says.

Similar to wild counterparts such as wolves, dogs have a pack mentality and are looking to follow, Asia says, and that means owners must lead in a way the dog understands.

The Moores do their best to teach both dog and owner a common language in two sessions, which last as long as required to make progress. That language has nothing

to do with instilling fear, Asia notes, but is about being consistent.

“A dog needs rules and boundaries – actions that tell it what it’s supposed to be doing.”

When dogs are perceived to be behaving badly, they are simply acting out in the only way they know how, she says.

K-9’s one-on-one service – they offer no group classes – is primarily aimed at helping people eliminate such behaviours in their dog as jumping on visitors, barking incessantly or acting aggressively toward people or other dogs. But there are positive byproducts.

“For a lot of people, (having success working with their dog) helps them feel better about themselves

and feel like more of a confident person,” Asia says.

Asia and Jim Moore practice ‘dog psychology’ for clients experiencing behavioural problems with their animals.

and found training dogs came naturally to her. Along the way, she says, she learned to communicate with humans, an important skill in a venture that sees the couple interview clients before beginning work with the dog.

Jim Moore grew up around horses and brings a decidedly male perspective to the business, Asia says. “If you’re not afraid of horses, you’re not going to be afraid of dogs,” she says.

From a business perspective, working as a couple is an advantage, Jim says, in that some dog owners respond better to a man than a woman.

“I think with our interpersonal

skills and life experience, we bring a lot to the table,” he says.

The Moores, who also work with rescued dogs, schedule no more than one session a day so they can give clients the time they need, Asia says.

As for the Sunday walks, getting the animals together – both the four-legged and two-legged varieties – is a good opportunity for both species to check in. “Dogs need socialization,” Asia says.

Christine van ReeuwykNews staff

Listening to music in a post-dental surgery drug-induced haze, Zoe Clint thought to herself: “music, that’s a great way to fundraise for something.”

Now she’s the Tim Hortons Camp Day fundraising co-ordinator for three of Langford’s Tim Hortons locations.

“I ran with it,” she said. “I wanted to make other people feel good.”

Her co-workers at the Goldstream location loved the idea, so she secured Eagle Ridge Park as a venue and set July 6 as the Tim Hortons Camp Day Battle of the Bands to raise funds for underprivileged children to attend summer camp.

On stage at America’s Got Talent four years ago, John Johnston, better known as Johnny Bagpipes, felt like he’d

been had. As a judge for the fundraising band battle, he’s determined not to convey those feelings to participants.

“I know what it’s like to have your hopes and dreams shot down from America’s Got Talent,” Johnston said. “I don’t like to see that, but I think (competition is) fun because it makes all the bands do their peak performances, because they’re being judged. I hate seeing people get discouraged because they didn’t win. There are no losers.

“I love rock and roll. I love live music and I think live music needs to be supported. We’ve seen it fading out in Victoria and the Western Communities, and it needs to come back,” he added.

He’ll bring his prior experience as a judge for Victoria’s Got Talent with him.

“Little girls would come out there and sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star … you think ‘dang it. I love you’ (said with Blaine Shelton twang). Then you say that and the little girl doesn’t win and you face the parents,” said Johnston.

Peter Bodman co-owner of ManKind Studio will judge alongside Johnny Bagpipes.

“There’s a spark to certain acts. There’s a certain something that’s hard to define. … you can usually hear it in bands that have it,” said Trevor Timmermann, co-owner of ManKind. “We’re always looking for new stuff you never know.”

Bands will compete for a recording prize offered by ManKind Studio during the two-hour battle.

Deadline for bands to apply, via

email to [email protected], is June 6. The application fee is $20.

The day of the battle, local

musicians will perform. Other activities planned from 2 to 7 p.m. include belly dancing

demonstration and instruction, kids’ events, food vendors and acting troupes.

The Battle of the Bands starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 for adults with those 12 and younger free.

“We want it to be affordable to all families,” Clint said. “It’s going to be pretty spectacular.”

Tim Hortons Camp Day Battle of the Bands is July 6 from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Eagle Ridge City Center, 1089 Langford Pkwy.

THE ARTS The all new Richie Woodland Band with Eric the Red (alto and tenor saxophone and percussive instruments), Pedro Arbour (drums and backing vocals) and Richie Woodland (vocals, semi-acoustic electric guitar and keyboard) debuts at Swan’s Brewpub, 506 Pan-dora, on May 9 at 9 p.m. No minors, no cover charge.

Did you know?■ The Tim Horton Children’s Foundation was established in 1974 by Ron Joyce, Co-Founder of the Tim Hortons chain, to honour Tim Horton’s love for children and his desire to help those less fortunate.

■ The Foundation is a non-profit, charitable organization committed to providing a fun-filled camp environment for children from economically disadvantaged homes.

Johnny Bagpipes’ africanpreschools.orgHusband and wife team of Marianne Schaubeck and John Johnston (better known as Johnny Bagpipes) founded African Preschools Society. Schaubeck owns Reservations Africa, a tour operator specializing in independent travel to Southern and East Africa. Johnston is a professional stand up comic.Travelling frequently to Africa in 1998, they started delivering school supplies to a makeshift preschool in Lillydale B., a rural community bordering Kruger National Park, South Africa. By 2001, they committed to building a new preschool facility for the community. In May 2002 the couple opened the 10-room preschool. In November 2004, African Preschools Society became a registered charity.

Daniel PalmerNews staff

The City of Victoria released unveiled its vision for the five-kilometre David Foster Way last week, but initial dis-cussions seem to be leaving cyclists out of the picture.

Edward Pullman, president of the Greater Victoria Cycling Coalition, said the future water-front pathway – linking Ogden Point to Rock Bay – should ide-ally allow for multi-modal use.

“We don’t want a situa-tion where we have a shared pathway that’s not done right, where we’re having conflicts between pedestrians and cyclists,” Pullman said. “I’d leave that up to the City to work that out, but we’d prefer to see cycling usage there.”

Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin said the primary focus of David Foster Way will be pedestrian use, but added it’s too early to comment on the final design features.

“What we’ve put out is a vision,” he said. “The goal is generally for pedestrians, rollerblading, all those sort of things. If you’re looking for a com-muter route, there are a lot of faster and more direct routes than the harbour pathway.”

Pullman said there are plans in the works to establish a bicycle rental program at Ogden Point to attract cruise ship tourists, and a cycling path-way could help business flourish and decrease vehicle traffic through James Bay.

“We recognize that cyclists don’t have a ton of right of way to work with through (James Bay), so we’re looking at (lowering) speed limits … and hopefully getting separated right of ways between cyclists and pedestrians.”

David Foster Way is expected to cost $33 to $40 million to complete and will feature 11 “special places” along the route, including a celebration plaza in front of the B.C. legislature.

Fortin said the City will limit its contribution to the project at $200,000 annually from its budgeted greenway funding, while the remaining cash will need to come from provincial and community grants.

On Thursday, VanCity became the first commu-nity partner to contribute to the project, commit-ting $100,000 to help build a pedestrian bridge at Heron Cove beside Fisherman’s Wharf.

David Foster himself was in Victoria on Friday and donated $50,000 to his namesake pathway.

“We recognize we’ll have to put the funds together to build (the pathway) in sections,” For-tin said.

Upcoming private sector developments like the Janion, Northern Junk buildings, floating sea-

plane terminal and the City’s own Johnson Street Bridge project will include amenity investments for David Foster Way as well, he said.

The Harbour Pathway plan was approved by council in 2008.

Notable home makes a moveKyle WellsNews staff

Author P.K. Page’s Oak Bay home has been uprooted, placed on a barge and shipped down the Georgia Strait to its new home in Chemainus.

At about noon on April 29,

the house was moved from its location to the corner of Exeter Road and Beach Drive where it sat until about 6 p.m. when it was moved to Loon Park and loaded on a barge. The barge departed during night and was offloaded about 8 p.m. April 30 in Chemainus.

The house was moved by Nickel Brothers.

P.K. Page spent the latter years of her life in the house, after a career writing poetry, fiction, essays and an autobiography. Page died in 2010 at the age of 93.

Nickel Brothers workers check the wheels as they move late author P.K. Page’s former home on Exeter Road. Workers then parked the house at the end of the road and waited for the tide to come in when it was loaded on a barge. The 87-foot house was bought by a family and was relocated to Chemainus earlier this week.


Nearly 800 men on Vancouver Island will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year. More than 100 of them won’t survive the disease.

Those sobering statistics are what compelled all of Greater Victoria’s motorcycle retailers to join forces this year for the third annual Westcoast Motorcycle Ride to Live on June 25.

The Langford-to-Sidney ride raises money for prostate can-cer research and donates to the B.C. Cancer Agency, University of Victoria and the Victoria-based Prostate Centre.

“I had no idea prostate cancer would just sneak up on me like it

did,” said Bill Jackson, a cancer survivor who was diagnosed in 2010 and is now in remission.

“I’ve started eating better, walking, exercising every day. I do more than I did before,” he said.

Jackson was part of a team of volunteers at the Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre kicking off Ride to Live’s fundraising efforts Fri-day afternoon.

Organizers hope to attract 1,000 participants for the ride, and add to the $250,000 it has raised since 2010 for local pros-tate cancer research, education and awareness.

Rider Michael Turgeon lost his grandfather to prostate can-cer and has watched his father fight the disease for 20 years.

“My dad’s going on 82 and continues to live a healthy life,” Turgeon said. “I’m riding for him.”

Turgeon’s band, The Weeds, is hosting a fundraiser for Ride to Live at the Tudor House pub, 533 Admirals Rd., on June 15.

“We know from our research that if you are detected with cancer early, your change of beating the odds is dramatically increased,” said Dr. Julian Lum, a scientist with the B.C. Cancer Agency.

“We really want to encourage any men over the age of 40 to have their annual test done.”

Travis PatersonNews staff

Brett Levis’ debut was a sharp one as the dynamic striker was in on all three goals for the Victoria High-landers on Saturday at Royal Athletic Park.

Levis scored once and assisted on goals by Thomas Mallette and Jor-die Hughes as the Highland-ers won its Professional Development League home opener 3-0 over the visiting Kitsap Pumas.

“We hoped for a good per-formance and good result, and I think 3-0 is more than we’d really expected, a good start,” said head coach Steve Simonson.

Victoria soccer fans will have to wait two weeks for the next home match. The Highlanders top men’s side now enters a bye week followed by a road game against the Vancouver Whitecaps under-23 on Fri-day (May 17) and a home game versus the Seattle Sounders under-23 on Sun-day (May 19) at RAP.

“The way the schedule is set up this year, to accom-modate the multi-use park we’ve got to get our home games in early. It’s also based on a tight schedule

for everyone else in the PDL,” Simonson said.

Having an early bye week is not all bad. It gives the club more time to prepare as a team, as the club final-ized key additions, such as Brett Levis, last week.

“We need to work towards where we want to be and definitely have more work to do,” Simonson said.

It’s Simonson’s first full season at the helm, having come on late in 2012 and his recruiting has paid early dividends. Levis, in partic-ular, signed last week and comes from the University of Saskatchewan Huskies.The striker finished second in scoring in the Canada West conference this year with nine goals and six assists while being named a Second Team All-Canadian.

“Levis came to us through dialogue between Huskies coach Bryce Chapman and I,” Simonson said. “He is always looking to help his players move on and it opened the door to bringing him here.”

Levis, pronounced in the same fashion as the famous blue jeans brand, is a dynamic and shifty player who is dangerous in many ways, as shown on Saturday with a goal and two assists.

“He’s a good dribbler and is so comfortable on the ball, he can toy his way through defenders, and it has that cascading effect, it opens up play for some-body else,” Simonson said.

Despite the win it’s still too early to gauge the High-landers.

“The May 17 to 19 week-end will be a telling one,” Simonson said, as the High-landers take on two of the three top teams, the White-caps, with players on pro contracts, and the reigning division champion Sound-ers.

The historic James Bay Ath-letic Association will take a crack at its favourite trophy against Burnaby Lake in the Rounsefell Cup provincial men’s rugby championship game this weekend.

The second-place Bays upended third-place Capilano 34-27 in overtime of the CDI Pre-mier League semifinal at McDon-ald Park on Saturday.

First place Burnaby Lake dented the hopes of an all-Island final beating the fourth-seed Castaway Wanderers 26-10 in the other semifinal.

Because the Bays have reached the final, the Rounsefell Cup premier men’s B.C. champi-onship will be played at UVic’s Wallace Field on Saturday, May 11. The Rounsefell Cup loca-tion rotates between Vancouver Island and the Mainland but will

only happen here if an Island team qualifies, which it has.

In other men’s rugby, the Velox Valhallians hosted a tri-ple header on Saturday and fell short in all three.

It ends the Valhallians’ cam-

paign for promotion to the CDI Premier league as they fell 19-15 to Abbotsford in the Okanagan Spring Brewery League semi-finals.

Abbotsford edged Velox’s Academy side 46-29 in the Okan-agan Brewery League Div. 1 semifinals.

Earlier in the day the Brit Lions scored heavily in a 48-17 win over the Valhallians Div. 3 side, also a provincial semifinal.

The UVic Norsemen advance to the Ceili’s Div. 1 provin-cial final with a 23-12 win over Meraloma.

It all sets the stage for a day of rugby finals at UVic on May 11 with Victoria clubs in both pre-mier finals as the Velox Valkyries will face Burnaby Lake in the Women’s Adidas Premiership Gordon Harris Cup.

Velox won last year’s Harris Cup and makes its third straight appearance in the final.

The Victoria-based triathlete’s overall time was 3:51:10, over two minutes ahead of the second place finisher.

McMahon has traditionally com-peted on the Inter-national Triathlon Union’s world circuit, which is Olympic distanced (1,500-metre swim, 40km bike, 10km run). Iron-man 70.3 races are a 1.9km, 90km bike and 21.1km run, half the distances of the famous Ironman race.

The Q’s Victoria Run Series returns for its fourth season beginning Saturday (May 11) at Oak Bay High’s Jack Wallace Memorial track.

The competitive race series has been revamped with four track events, with two road races and two cross country races added later in the summer.

Saturday’s 5,000-metre race will feature several top age-group athletes from Greater Victoria, including former Uni-

versity of Victoria Vikes captain Cliff Childs, who is seeking the World University Champion-ships (FISU) qualifying time of 14 minutes.

There will be at least eight events for the 2013 series, said organizer Chris Kelsall.

“I am working on two more potential events, one on the road in mid-September as well as another track meet in late August,” said series director Christopher Kelsall.

The schedule starts with four track events, May 11 at Oak Bay High, May 25 and June 1 at UVic’s

Centennial Stadium, and June 15 at Oak Bay High. Each has three distances, the 800-metre, 1,500m and 5,000m or 3,000m, with the classic mile race added on June 15.

New are a 5km road race from the Pacific Institute of Sports Excellence on July 6, and a pair of 6km cross country races at Beaver Lake, Aug. 31 and Sept. 6.

Proceeds from the series sup-port the Mustard Seed Food Bank.

A double-barrelled charge of initia-tives to help families dealing with childhood cancer aims to advocate for parents and keep kids comfort-able.

The idea simmered for four years and burst forth as the Communities Helping Families Initiative and the Comfy Kids Program were officially launched at Saunders Subaru in Col-wood in late April.

The purpose of the Communities Helping Families Initiative is to lobby VIHA along with federal, provincial

and municipal governments to get a pediatric oncology program funded and established for Island families.

Currently, families travel to B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver for original diagnosis and specialized care. Treatments can last for days, weeks and years.

“I saw first-hand what it was doing to parents,” said Dave Saunders, of Saunders Subaru, who watched family friends struggle through the ups and downs with their five year old. “They weren’t getting anywhere advocating. They were busy taking care of a child.”

Currently on the lower Island, there are 100 long-term and follow-up childhood cancer patients and 25 to 30 in active treatment, said Susan Kerr, patient parent liaison and co-

ordinator of family support for B.C. Childhood Cancer Parents Association.

“For many families it means multiple trips with critically ill children,” she said. Kerr made 40 round-trips to Vancouver in 2005 as her son Jacob, then five years old, battled neuroblas-toma.

“It’s been a hard battle. I’ve been advocating for support for families on a financial basis for six years,” Kerr said. “In this sense, it’s everyone collaborating in a positive way. It’s the start of positive change for the pedi-atric oncology families on Vancouver Island.”

“We learned there were several different groups and families wanting to help … we can become a single voice advocacy group. This is all about synchronizing,” Saunders said. “The goal is to create a proper (pediatric oncology) program that is fully supported.”

The initiative will also link families to existing resources, including the Comfy Kids program which includes a courtesy 2013 Subaru Forester for families in need of transportation to and from Vancouver.

include sea plane flights when timing is critical.

“We’ve done our due diligence, now it’s time for the other area, government, to cough up,” Saun-ders added. “If it takes our advo-cacy group to hold everyone’s

feet to the fire, we’re leading by example.”

Self-sufficiency is one of life’s privi-leges paid little attention to unless it is lost or under threat.

Climbing back from the psycho-logical abyss of an abusive relation-ship, job loss or drug use is often a shielded journey shared by only those closest to the process.

For the past 20 years, Women in Need and its volunteers have quietly celebrated those successes, help-ing more than 18,000 women in the Capital Region work through trauma and transition.

But organizers need community support to expand two successful programs that help women rebuild their lives.

“Our goal in 2013 is for 100 women to participate in our pro-grams, and that means raising $100,000 over the next year,” said Clare Yazganoglu, WIN executive director.

WIN recently launched its new Transitions program and revamped Self-Sufficiency program. Most of the women who attend the programs are living in transitional housing, Yazganoglu said.

Transitions teaches effective communication skills and how to

set personal boundaries in relation-ships, while Self-Sufficiency provides one-on-one support and financial assistance to women looking to build a career or return to school.

“These are women who want to make shifts towards becoming vibrant members in the community,” Yazganoglu said.

While WIN maintains strict confi-dentiality with its clients, “respect,” “integrity” and “grateful” pepper the anonymous comments made by graduates of the programs.

“It is one thing to have dreams, but feeling supported and account-able to the generosity of donors in actualizing those dreams is immea-surable,” said one participant.

WIN provides gift certificates to women in transitional housing for any of its three thrift stores around Greater Victoria.

Their operations are funded through private and business dona-tions.
