THE SCOOP

New group advocates for families

ON POOP

Two initiatives launched to help kids with cancer Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

Leif Bjornsen plays with his black lab Nelson at Lookout Lake in Colwood. Chandra Bjornsen, Leif’s mom, as asked the city to install a dog bag dispenser to help curb the problem of dog poop left behind at the lake.

Colwood considers baggie dispensers Charla Huber News staff

Stepping in dog poo is not what Chandra Bjornsen and her son Leif, 8, like to do at Lookout Lake. They often bring their dog Nelson there because it’s a short walk from their Colwood home and she brings her own bags to collect her black lab’s deposits, but often wishes she had more to pick up feces of other dogs. When she doesn’t have extra bags, Bjorn-

sen relies on moving the poo with a stick. “I have been here in the past when I forgot bags, it happens,” Bjornsen said. “Sometimes dogs run ahead and go and you don’t notice.” One winter the mother and son were rolling snowballs into snowmen at the park only to find the not so nice treat in the snow. In the summer the feces “is camouflaged” in the wood chips and sandy sections of the park. With land mines in mind, Bjornsen sent a letter asking Colwood council for a bag dis-

penser in the park for dog owners to use. “We approved for it to be investigated further,” said Mayor Carol Hamilton. Colwood does have dispensers in some parks, Hamilton said, and at times will stock them only to have the bags run out quickly. “People will grab a whole handful and by day two they are all gone,” the mayor said. “Cost is a factor.” Hamilton suggested the city may be interested in finding volunteers to monitor and stock a dispenser at Lookout Lake. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

A double-barrelled charge of initiatives to help families dealing with childhood cancer aims to advocate for parents and keep kids comfortable. 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 Colwood yesterday afternoon (April 18). 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, for original diagnosis and specialized care, families travel to BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. 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.” Please see: Kids travel in comfort, Page A2

Currently on the lower Island, there are 100 long-term/follow up childhood cancer patients and 25 to 30 in active treatment, says Susan Kerr, patient parent liaison and director/co-ordinator family support for B.C. Childhood Cancer Parents Association. “For many families it means multiple trips with critically ill children,” she said. Kerr herself made 40 round trips in 2005 as her son Jacob, then five years old, battled neuroblastoma. “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 pediatric oncology families on Vancouver Island.” The Communities Helping Families Initiative will listen to the parents and advocate on their behalf. “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 www.jennerchevbuickgmc.com resources, including the Comfy Kids program HIGHWAY which1730 includes ISLAND a courtesy 2013 Subaru Forester 1-866-281-4450 for families in need of transportation to and from Mon.–Thurs. 9-7pmand • Fri.–Sat. 9-6pm • Sunday – Closed for Browsing Vancouver.

Victoria runners show solidarity with Boston W

ith the world reeling and looking for answers about the Boston Marathon bombing, Victoria wasted no time showing solidarity, with residents and runners alike eager to lend their support. Wednesday night’s (April 17) Free Run 5K Travis at Beacon Hill Park Paterson commemorated the Reporting victims of the Boston bombings. Runners wore ribbons on their shoes in yellow and blue, Boston Marathon’s official colours. Around town, running groups held moments of silence before heading out for their regular training. Organizers of the Island Race Series anticipated a gesture of some type will be dedicated to Boston at the Sooke 10K on Sunday. The TC 10K on April 28 is also looking at opportunities to direct donations towards the Boston victims, said race sponsor Rob Reid, owner of FrontRunners. “Runners are tenacious and strong willed, and the months and the prep that goes into running a marathon shows that strong character that is at the fibre of runners globally,” said Reid, a director of the Goodlife Fitness Victoria Marathon. A six-time veteran of the Boston Marathon, Reid feels a strong connection to those runners who were unable to share in the euphoric moment that comes at the Boston finish line. “Boston was what got us into marathon-

Dave Milne, owner of Peninsula Runners and organizer of the free run in Beacon Hill Park, shows off one of the blue and yellow ribbons he will be handing out for runners to wear in memory of the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing. ing. In the 1970s it was one of the only ones around. It’s Mount Everest for runners. I went from zero to wanting to run in Boston.” There’s definitely a buzz going around the running community that people want to stand up to this act of terrorism, said Dave Milne, who organizes regular five-kilometre “free runs” at Beacon Hill Park through his Saanich store, Peninsula Runners. “We started the free runs three years ago. They’re just open events that people can

come out and participate in,” said Milne, who is also the director of the Oak Bay Half Marathon. “By (Wednesday morning) we had gone from 80 registered to 150.” Runners were also encouraged to wear Boston Marathon running gear. “We talked about cancelling it and postponing Wednesday’s race but after a lot of talking ... we decided to dedicate the run to Boston,” Milne said. “A lot of people are running today because they can. Because of Boston.”

10K organizers boost police presence Travis Paterson News staff

Within a few hours of the tragic Boston Marathon bombing on Monday, TC 10K race director Jacqui Sanderson was on the phone with Victoria police. About 13,000 people are expected for the April 28 race through downtown Victoria. Though there is no reason to suggest any added security risks in the wake of the Boston tragedy, the TC 10K will bulk up its police and security presence, just in case. “We’ll put additional resources on race weekend but there’s no evidence to suggest

www.vicnews.com • A3

any added risk. The TC 10K is a community event about the celebration of health and fitness and we want to continue promoting that celebration,” Sanderson said. At no time did organizers consider cancelling the popular run. To connect the Boston Marathon with a much smaller running event in Victoria is a stretch, said Adam Molnar, a political science doctoral student at UVic who is researching security and emergency management in the context of major sporting events. “I think it’s important that a positive tradition (such as the TC 10K) be allowed to continue in a way that maintains it as a sports

event for the community and not a security event,” Molnar said. “That being said, Victoria needs to have a security strategy proportional to the city and event.” There’s a lot less pressure for Victoria’s second biggest race, the Goodlife Fitness Victoria Marathon on Oct. 13. “Because our event is not until October we are lucky, but we will be talking about it at our next meeting in May. And we’re certainly watching how the Sun Run and Vancouver Marathon (May 5) are handling it,” said Cathy Noel, general manager of the Victoria marathon. sports@vicnews.com

Bert Robillard counts himself as lucky and thankful he was able to complete Monday’s Boston Marathon when he did – several minutes before two explosions near the finish line. The Sidney man was running his fourth Boston Marathon, having last done so in 2003 at age 50. Seven to nine minutes after he finished, Robillard said he was among a large group of runners and volunteers a few blocks away from the finish line, picking up a participation medal and meeting up with his wife, Helen Watt and fellow runner Lori Stenson, and her partner Don Costello. That’s when the bombs went off. “I didn’t hear the explosions,” Robillard said. “No one there did, as there was a lot of noise at the time.” Having met up with his wife and Castello, they went around the corner to their hotel so he could rest. They turned on the TV and saw the chaos unfolding at the finish line. Stenson was directed away from the finish line as the second bomb went off and eventually found her friends. Robillard said the incident left him in shock and he finds himself wondering what might have happened if he had paused to rest during his run. “I was damn lucky to be where I was.” Since he qualified for the next Boston Marathon in his 60-65 age group, Robillard, 60, said he’s asking himself whether he’ll return for his fifth race next year.

A sea of hands at the Association of Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities general convention last week, passed Metchosin’s resolution to ban genetically modified organisms on the Island. Sooke hosted this year’s event and all but a handful of the 200 municipal politicians voted in favour of banning GMO food on the Island. Metchosin Coun. Moralea Milne spoke toward her resolution and then someone got up to the “con” mic. “It was Al Seabring, a councillor in North Cowichan. He said the resolution wasn’t strong enough,” said Milne, adding with a laugh that Seabring said the motion should be province- or country-wide. AVICC is expected move the motion on to the Union of B.C. Municipalities which could pass it on the province. However, because it’s written just for the Island, Milne said the likelihood of it being debated at the UBCM convention would be slim. “We could amend it to be not just Vancouver Island and make it for B.C,” Milne suggested. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

We must refuse to live in fear We weren’t standing in the line of fire. We weren’t hit by shards of shrapnel. We didn’t smell the acrid smoke or feel the percussive thrust, but we were all hurt deeply by the horrific explosions at the Boston Marathon on Monday. It’s been an emotional, fear-filled week. The aftermath of the bombings had most of us glued to the news, hoping to why. Fear spreads learn The answer to that may quickly, but so never come, or if it does, may not make sense. It’s does solidarity itdifficult to make sense of the senseless. Terrorist acts like these bombings are meant to hurt us all. Some of us physically, brutally, even more of us at an emotional level. Fear is a weapon easily wielded, a disease that too quickly spreads. Whether or not you’re a runner, this week you likely felt that fear, that vulnerability. You likely shed tears for people you’ve never met. Perhaps you said a prayer or hugged your loved ones a little closer. Fred Rogers has been often quoted this week. The U.S. children’s TV host, Mister Rogers said: “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’” In the days after the bombings, many stories have focused on the survivors and those who came to their rescue. Selfless bystanders who rendered aid, those who staunched the flow of blood with bare hands, those who carried the wounded to safety. Here at home, far from the scene of the carnage, we showed our support, our solidarity with those personally affected by the blasts. As the shock and anger began to subside, our community came together to remember those affected by the Boston bombings, runners wore ribbons, held vigils and made vows to support those affected. In the days ahead we may continue to feel the emotional impact of the blasts, but we must remember, we can’t run from fear, rather we should run despite it. What do you think?

all, foresight was a great human attribute that brought us to a position of dominance on the planet. We used our knowledge and experiences to look ahead and recognize potential dangers and favourable circumstances so we could take control over our destiny by acting to avoid hazards and exploit possibilities. This is Canada’s moment. We are confronting a crisis with the economy and energy. No economy can grow forever; it is simply impossible on a finite planet. Shouldn’t we ask what an economy is for? How much is enough? What are the limits? How do we build a sustainable economy? We have learned from painful experience in single-resource communities that relying primarily on one major component of the economy – logging, fishing, mining – makes for dangerous boom-and-bust cycles. Nations that export fossil fuel too often become over-reliant on that sector. That destabilizes the economy (as we’re seeing in Alberta), distorts priorities (leading to the so-called “Dutch disease,” where other parts of the economy are neglected or ignored) and undermines democracy by holding government hostage (as we saw in the enormous lobbying power of industry in the last U.S. presidential election). The future of energy in Canada will determine the fate of our society. It must be widely discussed, nationally as well as provincially, beyond the boundaries of politics and economics. This is about the type of country we will leave to our children and grandchildren. davidsuzuki.org.

Many questions asked of provincial NDP Let me say out front that my heart is with the Greens, but for practical reasons I may vote for the B.C. NDP, as defeating the B.C. Liberals is that urgent. I’ve been trying to ascertain where the NDP stands on many environmental issues, but have been getting long, yet vague responses from my MLA and the party in general. Here’s what I’d like to know: will the NDP immediately close down or remove all fish farms, possibly replacing them with on-land certified organic containers, like they have in Ireland? Will they end all fracking for liquid natural gas? Will they

protect all forests and provide forestry workers with alternative employment? Will they oppose all pipelines and tankers carrying Alberta tarsands bitumen? Will they protect our agricultural land reserve? Will they protect Shawnigan Lake and all lakes, rivers, streams and the ocean from toxic runoff? I hope the News will give all our local candidates a chance to address these issues. If the NDP continues to be vague with their answers, I am certain they will only encourage more people to vote Green. Helene Harrison Victoria

Liberals’ TV spot didn’t impress voter Now that the election campaign has officially begun, I would like to comment on the Liberal government’s pre-election advertising spot. Not only was it crass and wasteful, it was untrue. To say that B.C. taxes are low without considering the burden of the health insurance “tax” (called premiums) is at least misleading. This tax does not exist in Alberta, Saskatchewan or Manitoba.

Read the Goldstream Gazette every Wednesday and Friday

For my partner and I, it is more than $130 per month; not easy to take when living on a pension. The Liberals have certainly lowered taxes for their corporate friends, but for ordinary B.C. residents, we do not have the lowest provincial taxes. Far from it. Enough of this anti-NDP coalition and enough of Christy Clark. I would rather pay taxes for public services, not government advertising. Brian Cousins Victoria

“Our Family Serving Your Family since 1974” S

I have been following the wastewater saga closely for the past year. In an effort to understand it better, I have read reports, spoken to experts and attended meetings including the Capital Regional District’s own core area liquid waste management committee. Many of my questions have been answered, but mysteries remain. Why do most members of this committee continue to stumble down this road to ruin? Assuming that we need wastewater treatment in Victoria, this is certainly not the way to go about it. This planned megaproject is an enormous waste of money. It is a short-term, unsustainable folly that will prevent the development of higher environmental priorities and cripple our tax base. There are alternatives that would cost less and be more effective. Furthermore, the CRD has so far ignored the public, bullied communities and disgraced themselves in the process. This is actually a failure of government at all levels. The federal government is to blame for creating a regulation that does not recognize local circumstances.

The provincial government is to blame for following a path of perception. Regardless, the buck should have stopped at the CRD. Obviously, it did not. Now, it is up to the public to stop this monster. And they will. The pressure is growing. Even civil disobedience has been discussed. This scandal could well result in the end of some political careers and even the CRD. Dave Ferguson Saanich

Book showcases Victoria neighbourhoods Travis Paterson News staff

Culture shock led Anny Scoones to pen a book about Victoria’s neighbourhoods. The culture shock of a farm girl becoming a city woman. It doesn’t matter that Scoones’ previous residence, historic Glamorgan Farm in North Saanich, where she spent several years, is less than 30 minutes by car from her new home, a 1911 heritage house on Medana Street in James Bay. “It’s an eight-acre farm with heritage buildings, as old a farm on the Peninsula as it gets,” Scoones said. “A lot of what goes on here in James Bay was a shock to me. It’s all the little things. The tempo of life. And the fact people put free stuff out on the curb, and it’s taken away. And it’s some pretty nice stuff.” Beach art and shrines made of various artifacts along the shore of Dallas Road also caught her fancy. So have the abundant crops produced by urban farmers. It didn’t take long before Scoones and Robert Amos united

Travis Paterson/News staff

Robert Amos and Anny Scoones, the illustrator and author of Hometown: Out and About in Victoria’s Neighbourhoods, plan to do a book tour of local bookstores by bike, starting with their launch at Winchester Galleries on Saturday (April 20). to capture James Bay and a dozen other unique areas in Greater Victoria in a book called Hometown: Out and About in Victoria’s Neighbourhoods. The book is available now in bookstores and at the library. It’s Scoones’ fourth and Amos’

seventh book on Greater Victoria, but it’s their first collaboration. A well-known painter of Victoria landmarks and longtime arts writer for the Times Colonist, Amos previously wanted to remake two of Scoones’ earlier books, Home: Tales of a Heritage Farm, and

Home and Away: More Tales of a Heritage Farm. The non-fiction essays and stories are based on the farm community in North Saanich. “I had an idea they should be remade with illustrations, they were perfect for it,” said Amos, the outgoing artist in residence for the Fairmont Empress. But when the two presented the idea to Ruth Linka at Touchwood Editions, the publisher had another idea. “(Linka) gets the credit on this one,” Scoones said. “She asked us, ‘Why don’t we do a book on Victoria?’ And we did.’” Granted, the neighbourhoods idea had been seeded in Scoones and Amos, they just hadn’t put their fingers on it. “It’s not a historical book for history’s sake. It’s a quirkier look at each area,” Scoones said. “There are a lot of historical books on areas and such of Victoria, but they are very intensive. This will be more of a history of now. It will say what it’s like to live here today,” Amos said. Readers who pick up the book will be tickled by the recognition

factor, Amos added. It’s a connection you can only make when your everyday life is put into a book. Eccentricities from all over the region are highlighted in Out and About. There’s the former jam factory, which most people know as the odd-shaped building at the top of Sinclair Hill up from Cadboro Bay, the fact Oak Bay has far more non-English culture than people think, and the corner store phenomenon. “Corner stores are a tradition. They’re part of the little things you don’t notice unless you stroll through each area,” Amos said. sports@vicnews.com

The first pitch of the Victoria HabourCats baseball season is seven weeks away but the new West Coast League team is still in need of a home for some of its players. The team is looking to billet 27 players, give or take one or two, but only 12 are billeted so far. “We’re looking for some welcoming homes,” said Karen Russell, who is handling the billeting for the HarbourCats. “It’s a great experience for young families especially, a chance to meet a driven young man from the U.S., and help him out,” Russell said. All of the HarbourCats coming into town are from U.S. NCAA and collegiate teams. “We’re really impressed with their eagerness, and we’re really excited help them take the next step in their baseball careers.” Players are 19 to 22 years old, are here for 10 weeks from May through July and are on the road for 55 per cent of the season.

Cory Conway is coming home to the Victoria Shamrocks. The pride of Brentwood Bay helped the junior A Shamrocks to the Minto Cup final in 2008 and was drafted in the first round by the Coquitlam Adanacs in 2009 before the senior Shamrocks could grab him. Since then, Shamrocks general manager Chris Welch has watched Conway graduate from being a star in the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League to a star in the Western Lacrosse Association. “Over the years we’ve seen first hand, and felt the pain playing against him, of a what a great player Conway truly is,” Welch said. “It’s going to be a lot nicer having him on the team than having him play against us.”

Conway was acquired in a trade with the Nanaimo Timbermen on Wednesday, as the Timbermen continues its rebuild. In exchange for Conway, the Shamrocks sent its first- and t h i rd - ro u n d picks in the 2015 WLA Draft. Nanaimo also gets Victoria’s second round draft choice in the 2015 WLA Draft, as part of the Scott Ranger deal in February. The Shamrocks have now procured two of the Timbermen’s key strikers on offence, having acquired Ranger, the reigning WLA scoring leader and former captain of the Timbermen. “We think this move fits two big goals. One is to compete for a Mann Cup and get another banner or two in Bear Mountain Arena. It also works towards the other goal of expanding the local core, as many South Island guys

Cory Conway has 30 assists in 13 games with the Edmonton Rush in the NLL this season. as we can who can compete at this level.” Conway’s inclusion on the Shamrocks means the group of elite players produced in Victoria who are playing elsewhere just got smaller. Prominent on that list are Lewis Ratcliff (Langley Thunder), Cayle Ratcliff (Timbermen), Ryan Ward (National Lacrosse League) and Rhys Duch (NLL, Major field Lacrosse League) and blue chip prospect Cody Bremner (Timbermen). “Conway is one of the top playmakers in our game. He’s led the league in assists the last few

years and is an elite player, no question,” Welch said. Conway is in his sixth season in the NLL with the Edmonton Rush, where he plays with fellow Shamrocks attacker Corey Small. “(Conway) sees things nobody else can see, his cross floor passes are as good as anyone’s in the sport,” Welch said. “Small and Conway are roommates on the Rush and they have chemistry on the floor. Conway feeds the opposite side better than anyone in the game and Small is on that opposite side, I look forward to seeing the chemistry

develop here.” “It’s tough to put into words. I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to play for the team I grew up cheering for. It’s a dream come true,” Conway said in the team’s release. “I’m excited to wear the green and white again, plus this team is scary deep. I think this group has the potential to accomplish something truly special.” The Shamrocks season opens with a tailgate party at Bear Mountain Arena prior to the May 17 game at 7:45 p.m. sports@vicnews.com

It’s the second time the volleyball star has been named the Canada West Female Athlete of the Year, having won it in 2011. Marcelle, a Spectrum Community school grad, recently ended her career with UBC by winning a fifth straight Canadian Interuniversity Sport volleyball championship, and was named the CIS female volleyball player of the year, which she also won in 2011. She is now shortlisted for the CIS overall athlete of the year award, which will be named at the 21st annual Borden Ladner Gervais (national law firm) Awards on Monday, April 29, in Toronto. If she wins, Marcelle will receive a $10,000 post-graduate scholarship. All finalists are provided a commemorative gold ring.

Castaway Wanderers face tough assignment

The Castaway Wanderers scored a massive win on Saturday but need one more for the Oak Bay club to get into the CDI Premier League senior men’s rugby playoffs. The No. 5-seed Castaway Wanderers (6-6-1) defeated No. 1-seed Burnaby Lake (9-4) 23-16 under torrential rain and hail at Windsor Park last week. To get into the playoffs, CW needs to unseat No. 4 Meraloma in Vancouver tomorrow, in the final weekend of the CDI regular season.

Local news.

Not only does CW have to win, CW must earn the four-try bonus point and win by more than seven points to keep Meraloma from earning a bonus point. No. 1 seed James Bay (9-4) drew level with Burnaby Lake atop the standings with a 71-12 over the Bayside Sharks in Surrey last week.
