Motorcyclist clocked at 144 km/hr Driver facing $730 in fines after speeding, failing to stop for police Angela Cowan News staff

A 21-year-old Saanich man had his motorcycle impounded and has been charged with exces-

sive speeding, failing to stop for police and passing on the right after a speedy rush for the ferry on Easter Sunday. At 8:45 a.m. on April 5, RCMP recorded the motorcycle trav-

elling north on the Patricia Bay Highway at 144 km/hr in an 80 km/hr zone. After failing to stop for police, the driver was located a short time later at the BC Ferry terminal where RCMP immedi-

ately impounded the motorcycle for seven days. The driver was charged under the Motor Vehicles Act and faces up to $730 in fines. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

The inaugural Get Ready Get Local food and sustainable agriculture expo takes over the Victoria Conference Centre this Saturday, April 18, bringing consumers together with local farms, food producers and sustainability educators. It’s a brand new collaboration between the Capital Region Food and Agriculture Initiatives Roundtable (CRFAIR), the Island Chefs’ Collaborative and FarmFolk CityFolk. “One of the unique qualities is that it’s three different organizations putting this together to ultimately support food sustainability in the Greater Victoria area and on Vancouver Island,” said Bob Thompson. Thompson, a municipal councillor in Central Saanich, is working with CRFAIR to help spread the word and encourage people to come out to the expo. “That’s really what it’s about, is working together and bringing together industry, producers and consumers,” he says.

Tip of the Peninsula Ypres anniversary recalls Canadian effort during First World War SIDNEY — A contingent from Victoria, including a Sidney resident, will be in London, England and Ypres, France to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Kitchener’s Wood. Hon. Col. Richard Talbot of the Canadian Scottish Regiment (Princess Mary’s) is with the regimental contingent this month for special ceremonies. The battle saw the First Canadian Division’s 16th Battalion (Canadian Scottish) and 10th (Calgary Highlanders) retake a position after a German gas attack. The successful, but costly, action earned both battalions badges of distinction. — News staff

Defence Construction Canada President and CEO James Paul, left, and Assistant Deputy Minister (Infrastructure and Environment) for National Defence Jaime Pitfield unveil the new name of 443 Maritime Helicopter Squadron’s new hangar facility at Victoria International Airport.

Squadron’s new home and castle 443 Maritime Helicopter Squadron makes move to new facility official Steven Heywood News staff

Soldiers with 443 Maritime Helicopter Squadron stood at attention Thursday, April 9 as British Columbia Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon and other dignitaries helped consecrate the squadron's new colours. A ceremony was held at the new hangar and operations facility at the Victoria International Airport. The squadron unveiled both their new colours, as well as the name of the facility — Arundel Castle. The Castle, in West Sussex, England, was where the squadron was stationed leading up to D-Day during the Second World War. “This building will finally allow for all unit operations to be housed under a single roof and will provide operational enhancements that are not available in the current facilities,” stated LieutenantColonel Patrick MacNamara, the squadron’s commanding officer. “This building and its technology will advance the abilities of this unit as we move from the CH-124 Sea King helicopter to the Sikorsky CH-148 Cyclone helicopter.” The $155-million facility was completed

Steven Heywood/News staff

The squadron’s new colours were consecrated in the hangar during the April 9 ceremony. last year. Squadron personnel have been transitioning into the hangar and administrative offices since November, 2014. Since then, their former location has been

torn down and some of the bricks from the original headquarters building saved for use as a monument. “We are extremely pleased to officially open the doors to our new facility,” added Major Donald Leblanc, Air Reserve Flight Commander. “After 10 years in the making, from design to construction, this facility will combine all aspects of flying operations, maintenance and aircraft supply under one roof. “It will provide increased flexibility for operations with the Royal Canadian Navy and response time to British Columbians. This is a state of the art facility that will serve the Royal Canadian Air Force for decades to come.” The squadron continues to use their old hangar at the airport and will slowly move their Sea King helicopters into the new hangar as their occupancy draws to a close. Their former hangar building will then be in the hands of the Victoria Airport Authority, who have said they plan to find new tenants. The facility was built, in part, to provide space and support for new CH-148 Cyclone helicopters, set to replace the Sea Kings. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Man faces sexual assault charges in Sidney incident Angela Cowan News staff

A 30-year-old man has been arrested and is facing charges of sexual assault after grabbing a Sidney woman by the buttocks on Ocean Avenue last Thursday morning. The man, of no fixed address, was intoxicated, and approached the 25-year-old woman on April 9 and told her his name before groping her. The woman was uninjured and walked away without incident. The man is known to police and was arrested in Sidney by Sidney North Saanich RCMP April 10. In addition to the current charges, he was also at large on two unendorsed arrest warrants for assault out of Mission, B.C. RCMP are asking anyone with further information, or who may have had similar encounters with the man to call them at 250-656-3931. RCMP refrained from releasing the name of the man until charges have been sworn in by the Crown. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Tech company releases new ranking app EvBase’s new app lets you check how your website ranks Steven Heywood News staff

It is said that necessity is the mother of invention. For EVBase Technologies Inc. of North Saanich, that’s certainly the case with their new app, FindMyRanking. com. Sales and Marketing representative Doug Thorsteinson says the new app, launched last week, allows customers to find out how their website ranks on search engines around the world. Essentially, he said, it helps show other businesses who have a web presence just how often their company name comes to the top in online searches with Google, Bing, Yahoo and more. While he said there are similar apps out there, theirs is the only one that uses actual servers in specific cities around the world to conduct the ranking check. It’s a service that EVBase went looking for itself only a short time ago, but could not find with the precise results they were after. EVBase Technologies Inc, based at the Victoria International Airport industrial area, specializes in training, scheduling and inspection software for the aviation industry and government agencies. They work with clients such as WestJet, the

In January, EVBase signed a five-year deal with NavCan to provide comprehensive management software. Thorsteinson said an existing network of servers they use for their main business was a perfect link for their new app. FindMyRanking.com uses leased server space in cities like San Francisco, New York and others, to perform the ranking search. “It was hard to find a product we could use and we really couldn’t find what we needed,” said the app’s chief pro-

grammer, Blair Day. Day said he initially planned to spend a weekend and develop an in-house program, but that idea quickly took on a life of its own. “It turns out this was needed by more people, different companies,” he said. “So, work took a few months instead.” FindMyRanking. com is EVBase’s first foray into the general consumer market, said Thorsteinson. Founded 16 years ago by CEO Stephane Way, the company deals mainly within the aviation industry. However, he continued, EVBase is essentially a tech house — so they are capable of creating

their own services to meet their needs. The public launch of their new app is new ground. What FindMyRanking.com does, he explained, is allow company web designers and others to access a straightforward way of determining how their brand appears online in specific markets. It applies mostly to companies who are marketing their products or services to a wide audience. The results through the app show how far consumers have to go to find the business or product on a given search engine. Development of FindMyRanking.com will go into a second phase, Thorsteinson said.

OUR VIEW

Plan ahead for traffic troubles

egional and local planners are going to have to seriously look at traffic issues at the northern end of the Saanich Peninsula as the area grows over the next decade. There are plans for added commercial and residential growth — most notably at the intersection of Beacon Avenue and the Pat Bay Highway in Sidney. Plans for a 10-acre commercial site adjacent to the Victoria International Airport may be years away from happening, but its potential traffic impact must be considered Traffic can be now. Already, the congested now Victoria Airport Authority has conducted a traffic study, looking into the impact of a new commercial site on the vehicle flow southbound on the highway. The potential for traffic to back up is considerable, should exits from Beacon into the area not be far enough west from the main thoroughfare. Traffic can be pretty congested now (thanks to the construction of the highway, splitting Sidney in two all those many years ago). Developers may have to ensure further exits off of Beacon West allow for that. Throw in potential retail sites at Sandown in North Saanich and Jesken in Central Saanich, and there’s a recipe for trouble. This portion of the highway is already something of a race track, as recent mass speeding tickets and impounds can attest to. It’s nice to have wide lanes and smooth pavement leading up to the ferry terminal, but drivers’ poor advance planning and interaction with traffic congestion here will contribute to ongoing issues. The Saanich Peninsula is looking to grow to help maintain its economic lifeline. It only makes sense to consider what the growth will do on our ability to get around safely. What do you think?

The Beecher Bay Band was paid 45 pounds, 10 shillings for most of Sooke and another 43 pounds and change for its Metchosin territory. One of the biggest missing pieces in the latest agreement in principle is the share of federally-regulated fisheries. This has been a theme of B.C. Treaty Commission reports in recent years, as Ottawa holds up treaties for years because it is unable or unwilling to offer shares of salmon in particular. Hunting and fishing rights are acknowledged even in historic treaties and reaffirmed by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Sharing these rights while maintaining conservation of fish stocks has been more than Ottawa, and in some cases neighbouring aboriginal communities, have been able to manage. Eyford’s findings, and the B.C. government’s sudden refusal to keep staffing a B.C. Treaty Commission that shows so little progress, have sent one overdue message. If participants aren’t prepared to make real compromises and show a willingness to conclude agreements rather than drag them out, they should leave and come back when they are ready to do so.

LETTERS Pedestrian etiquette needed

know Sidney is pedestrian friendly but I think there are some things that pedestrians could do in terms of how they use the sidewalks and crosswalks. A Google search of “pedestrian etiquette” brings up an amusingly large amount of articles including one from the New York Times. All the articles pretty well talk about being aware of your surroundings, keeping to one side, not taking up the whole sidewalk when walking a group, not stopping suddenly without looking, etc. Many people here do not look left or right as they step off the curb and just seem to think that they can continue walking briskly on the sidewalk into a crosswalk. To do so is very unsafe. Drivers can’t do everything if pedestrians won’t help or be collaborative in their road or sidewalk use.

Unfortunately, people have also begun to do the thing of crossing on a red light if there are no cars coming. Probably the most frustrating though, is many people do not pay attention to vehicles trying to cross a crosswalk and step off the curb into the crosswalk just after somebody else has just left the crossing, making it so the vehicle has to wait some more and has a very difficult time getting through. I’ve had up to three people do this at times, each time I try to go forward, another straggler walks out just after another has left, stopping my progress. It would be more respectful for people to go in groups or stop and wait a bit to let vehicles go through if other pedestrians have just gone through the crosswalk. Colin Lester Sidney

I agree that treaty making in B.C. needed a revamp but did they have to throw the whole process under the bus? And to abandon the process without even consulting the federal government and First Nations — the other partners in the tripartite commission — is unconscionable. The relationship could have been salvaged. A local example is the relationship between the District of Central Saanich and Tsartlip and Tsawout First Nations. The three parties have been on a path to a better relationship for the past five or six years. When I was first elected to Central Saanich council the rela-

tionship was poor. It is still not perfect, but what has been accomplished to date needs to be celebrated. Now I hear that the relationships are still growing in a good way. There have been bumps along the way and the journey never ends. We can learn a lot from Central Saanich: a good relationship requires at least two willing parties. It is not time to abandon intergovernmental relationships, it is time to work on improving them. Adam Olsen Central Saanich

Waging on the future In a recent edition, Tom Fletcher referred to a $15 minimum wage as a socialist dream. That, however,

need not be the case. Two years ago while visiting friends in Australia I asked what the usual percentage was for tipping. I was told that there is no tipping, Australians do not tip. There is not the need. A taxi driver also told us there was no need to tip him because he earns a decent wage. He went on to explain the Australian government decided minimum wage earners should be part of, and support, the economy and not be reliant upon it. He said the lowest minimum wage in any of the states is $15. Give people more money and they will spend it in pubs, bars, shops and restaurants, etc. From what we saw that seems to be the case. In a small town, about the size of Sid-

ney, the cafés, coffee shops, etc. were all busy to the point that we needed to go early to get a seat for a lunch out. We only saw two closed shops in the town and they were in a building in need of repair. No doubt Australia has its problems like anywhere else, but they include the lower wage earner as an active part of the economy. Here, legislated poverty does not work as seen by the ever increasing need at the food banks and the ever present problem of homelessness. If a decent minimum wage can work in an entire country, it can work in B.C. Give me a socialist dream over closed minds any day. Neville Winters Sidney

Happiness is warm soil and the work of gardening

wish everyone had a vegetable garden. This type of garden is so full of excitement, joy, elation and good stuff (food). Of course you’ll need a few things besides the soil: water, sunshine, maybe some fertilizer and, of course, some seeds. You may choose to grow flowers. If you

are a new gardener let me recommend Nasturtiums which require little attention and provide a season of flowers in shades of yellow, orange, reddish brown and cream. All you have to do, really, is to keep them picked or they will go into seed production and stop flowering. Although I always

find room for a few flowers, my real interest is in food production. Sorry to be so dull, but there is so much delight in picking a few green peas, pulling the odd carrot (wiping the dirt off on your jeans) and eating them both, right where you are, standing on the warm, fertile soil. It’s my idea of true bliss!

Helen Lang

Over the Garden Fence

Of course it isn’t all jolly. There is work connected with the delight, lots of it, but the rewards are wondrous! I swear if I had nothing else but an empty soup tin, I’d drive a few holes in the bottom for drainage, add some soil and plant three leaf lettuce seeds — enough greenery soon for one large cheese sandwich,

with or without mayo. Oh dear, now I’m hungry! Time now to plant leeks, parsnips, Swiss chard and sorrel and if you planted green peas three weeks ago you could plant more now for a slightly later harvest. You can never have too many green peas! Today I’m going to

Break free from fees.

plant four sunflower seeds in one medium sized pot, hoping for three plants to appear. It may seem silly to plant these whopping great flowers to grow on a small balcony, but they will please me with their big flowers and maybe feed some birds this fall. I’m not supposed to feed birds from the balcony, but I’ll take the seed-heads to a lane near here where the birds are bound to discover them. Some crow with sharp eyes will spot them for sure. I’m not really fond of crows, but they get hungry too, and their delighted “cawing” will alert other birds to see what is going on and just maybe they’ll get to eat a few seeds themselves.

Robin Tunnicliffe of Saanich Organics shows off an abundance of produce at the Moss St. Market. Tunnicliffe will be occupying one of nearly 40 booths at the upcoming Get Ready Get Local local and sustainable food expo, April 18.

Local food industry to talk shop Continued from page 1

“It’s creating consumer awareness. I think that as always, consumers are the key. Consumers need to make choices in terms of buying local food.” “And it’s not just about buying direct from the farm. It’s also the folks that are using local products to make interesting, value-added foods.” The expo will also give industry members the chance to meet, pairing restaurants with local farms and markets with food producers. Workshops through the afternoon will cover popular topics such as backyard chickens, edible landscaping, backyard bees and food photography, as well as how the soil can shape wine flavours and even information on micro loans and community lending for small food businesses.

The main stage has some fantastic demonstrations throughout the afternoon, including how to spice up local produce with ethnic flavours with Chef Heidi Fink, a sausage making workshop with Chef Cory Pelan from The Whole Beast, a canning at home demo with Bernardin Home Canning, and Maki rolling, making sushi with local, sustainable fish with Chef Andrew Shepard from the Vancouver Island Sea Salt Company. Offering much more than your run-ofthe-mill farmers’ market, Get Ready Get Local is a great place to start if you’re interested in food security and living sustainably. The local fare fair runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 18 at the Victoria Conference Centre, 720 Douglas Street. Admission is $5 at the door or online at http://bit.ly/1O7ucj1.

Renate Herberger misses her son, Silvan, who died tragically in 2012. The North Saanich woman is feeling the hurt of losing a son all over again after discovering last month that an urn containing a portion of Silvan’s cremated remains has gone missing from a park bench. Herberger had glued a colourful, small urn to a bench along the Scoter Trail below Tapping Road off of West Saanich Road in Deep Cove on the Saanich Peninsula. It was a remembrance, she says, and a place to visit to

connect with her feelings and to heal. That urn, however, is missing. Herberger says she placed the urn there in September 2014. After returning from a long distance swimming trek on March 10, she visited the bench and it was still there. “Within 24 hours … it was gone,” she says. Herberger says she thinks someone had to have pried the urn from the bench, breaking the glue’s seal. It is an eight-sided, handpainted urn of Mexican design, itself sealed with a bag of ashes inside. She says whoever took it probably didn’t know what it was and she hopes they’ll return it. Herberger has reported the loss to the RCMP but isn’t holding out hope that the police will find it. “I just want it brought back,”

she says, adding she feels the loss of the urn personally. The bench itself has a plaque dedicated to her son, Silvan Skye Valeska Herberger, and she doesn’t understand how someone could, in essence, rob a memorial site. She hopes by getting the word out, someone might know something, or the urn will be returned to the bench. “It was my place to meditate, a place of remembrance of life.” Silvan was only 23 when he took his life, something Herberger, who gave an interview to the PNR in September of 2014, thinks of every day. “He was so young and he had his whole life ahead of him. He was an incredibly passionate, loyal and beautiful luminous individual, and that’s how I will always remember him,” she said. editor@peninsualnewsreview.com

Feds defend Coast Guard response to spill Tom Fletcher Black Press

Federal Industry Minister James Moore and a senior Canadian Coast Guard official have defended the response to a fuel spill from a freighter in Vancouver Harbour. Roger Girouard, assistant commissioner for the western region of the Canadian Coast Guard, said April 10 that containing and cleaning up 80 per cent of the spilled bunker fuel within 36 hours “represents an amazing success in oil pollution

cleanup.” Moore shot back at Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson and Premier Christy Clark, who held their own news conferences earlier Friday. Both called the six-hour delay before containment booms were placed around a grain freighter an unacceptable delay. “The cleanup is still ongoing and the facts are still coming in,” Moore said. “I think it’s highly inappropriate for any politician to start pointing fingers and trying to score political points

and making jabs at other levels of government without knowing all the facts.” Girouard said citizen reports of pollution in Vancouver harbour come in to the Coast Guard frequently, and it was not until about 8 p.m. Thursday that an aerial assessment determined a response was required. Identifying the ship and working in the dark to have booms in place by midnight allowed crews to contain “the lion’s share of the oil before it hit the beach,” he said. Four oil-contami-

nated birds have been collected for treatment. Cleanup crews doubled in the first 24 hours, with assessment of beached oil to determine the safest way to clean it up ongoing, he said. Girouard rejected suggestions that the 2013 closure of the Kitsilano Coast Guard base hampered the response. Transport Canada is investigating to see whether a malfunction of ship equipment caused the bunker oil to be released in the harbour.

2015 ARTIST: LEONARD BUTT

hen the B.C. Book Prizes are announced April 25, there will be a great many in the crowd with crossed fingers and held breath, waiting to hear Patrick Lane’s name announced as the winner for his poetry collection, Washita. But he won’t be among them. For a writer, and especially a poet, whose life is by necessity largely solitary and observant, the crush of camera lens and lights and crowds is overwhelming. Lane, 76 this year, doesn’t go to awards ceremonies anymore. “If I end up winning, my publisher will accept it for me, and that’s the way it should be,” he says. “It’s lovely to get a nomination for it. These things happen, and they’re nice. But you never feel good about yourself.” He describes the setup: cameras are trained on the nominees, waiting as the winner’s name is read. “And then, the name isn’t yours, and the camera pans away from you, and you don’t

much pleasure to the reader. Reviews of Lane’s work have nearly said it all before. How he braids together beauty and agony with deft fingers, how his poems refuse to shy away from the visceral nature of death, how he wields his language inexorably, and unforgivingly. But one thing the reviews haven’t seemed to say is how slowly one must read Lane’s words. With no erroneous syllables, no superfluous spaces, the pieces are dense as osmium, leaving the reader to absorb Lane’s words letter by letter, then line by line. This substance was formed from the outset of the writing process. Stricken with an utterly frozen shoulder two-thirds through a novel manuscript, Lane was unable to use his trusty forefinger on his right hand to type. “I’d written a million words with this one little finger,” he says, holding up his hand. Unmoved to continue, saying with feeling that he didn’t feel he had anything to contribute to the world through prose, and that writing a novel is “a terrible thing for any human being to subject themselves to,” he fell back to his first love: poetry. “I hadn’t written any poetry for about five years, and I quietly began writing again.”

Parkland Secondary Grade 12 art students Erin Pomphrey, left, Colin Griffith, Elise Zissopoulos and Shannon Flaherty are getting ready to showcase their pieces at the Student Art Show at Tulista Park Gallery, opening April 16. Angela Cowan/ News staff

Students showcase art at Tulista gallery Angela Cowan News staff

The Community Arts Council of the Saanich Peninsula is giving Parkland Secondary seniors a unique opportunity: the chance to show their art in a two-week show at the Tulista Park Gallery. “That’s what (these kids) need, someone to come to them and get their stuff out there. They’re such a mellow group,” says Parkland visual arts teacher Andre Gogol. And indeed, the four that have gathered to answer questions about their artwork are calm and poised, if somewhat nervous. Colin Griffith stands beside his larger-than-life self portrait, an experiment with light and shadow, he says. “This is the main project I worked on this year that took up most of my time. I’m pretty proud of how it

turned out.” He says the show at Tulista Park Gallery will be the first time he and his cohorts have had their art featured in a gallery, and they’re all looking forward to it. “I think it’s pretty neat to be able to share it with people in the community,” says Griffith. “To see what other people think,” adds Erin Pomphrey. “Because the only people who see it are the kids at school in class with us every day.” It’s also a chance for the students to broaden their experience and be exposed to other, more developed, artists as well, says Shannon Flaherty. “It’ll be good to see how other artists work. We haven’t found our own voice yet. I think we take inspiration from everything,” she says, adding her own inspiration tends to follow a natural curve. “I really like natural

form, putting the human body into nature.” Experimenting with shadow, colour balance and shapes, the Grade 12s use paint and charcoal, or mixed media in collages to stretch their skills. “I’ve had them all from (Grades) 9 to 12, and it’s been neat to see them develop,” says Gogol. “The work that they’ve got is certainly worth getting out there. The quality’s really good.” CACSP has been incredible in their support, often approaching the school in the past, he added. “They were fantastic about saying ‘this is their voice,’” says Gogol. The show kicks off tomorrow (April 16) with a special grand opening at the Tulista Park Gallery, 9565 Fifth Street in Sidney. It runs until April 30, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Free admission and parking. For more information, visit cacsp.com.

Novel writing a ‘terrible thing’: Patrick Lane Continued from page 11

He learned to type left-handed and onefingered, settling into the spaces between the words with relief. From the beginning of his sobriety in 2000, through the process of writing his memoir, then his first and only novel Red Dog, Red Dog, to the debilitating frozen shoulder he suffered afterward, Lane’s perspective had changed immensely, and Washita is his way of expressing that change. “I wasn’t saying anything I hadn’t said before, but I was saying it in a new way. And I was pleased with what I had done. These are good pieces.” And though Lane describes Washita as “one of the best books I’ve written in my life,” by a twist of fate, it was published incomplete. A single poem, filed under a different folder on Lane’s computer,

missed the call. “It’s a good poem too,” he says. “And I don’t know if it will fit into the next book. I feel bad for it, so I go over and pat it every once in a while.” After the whirlwind

around Washita dies down, Lane says he’ll keep writing, though it may be a few years before the next book is published. Next up, Lane is speaking at Stories of Saanich April 21 with

his wife, fellow poet Lorna Crozier. For more information or to buy tickets, visit adamolsen.ca/stories_ of_saanich.

duces stunning works in wood and metal (gold and silver), as well as colourful paintings, rugs and custom art — all bridging traditional West Coast motifs with abstract and modern styles. There will be unique handcrafted door prizes and a chance for the public to cast their vote for their favourite piece of art. This endorsement is a coveted reward for the artists’ efforts. There’s a gala evening for patrons on Friday, April 24 where those (plus a guest) who have donated $125 can view the art before the show is open to the public. Enjoy wine and appetizers while browsing the artwork at your leisure. Patrons who purchase a piece of art from the main gallery can receive up to $100 off their purchase. Entrance to the show is just $4 and the ticket is valid for the weekend. Show hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Sunday. — Submitted by SPAC

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Wednesday, April 15, 2015

Around the region

Prostate patient an advocate for his own health Men without a family physician can still ask for a PSA test Don Descoteau News staff

Bill McElroy considers himself an extremely lucky man. He knows many people wouldn’t see him in that light, especially since he’s about to undergo surgery to remove a cancerous prostate gland. Rather than sit at home, relax and wait for his scheduled operation today (April 15) at Victoria General Hospital, the fit 69-yearold Langford resident rounded off a brisk walk this week with a stop to talk openly about his situation. McElroy calls himself lucky, because if he hadn’t made a firm request of a walk-in clinic doctor a little over a year ago, the chain of events that led to his diagnosis might never have begun. “If I hadn’t asked for that PSA test …” he says. “It just so happened I had the more aggressive, fast-growing type of prostate cancer.” Unlucky enough to have had his family doctor retire five years ago, leaving him without a regular physician, McElroy was left with having to rely on walk-

Don Descoteau/News staff

Bill McElroy will be operated on to have his prostate gland removed and wants to remind men to ask for a PSA test referral, regardless if they have a regular doctor or not. in clinics for his health care. Like many men, especially those as generally healthy as he is, he says, he’s not one to go to the doctor for just anything. But when it comes to health scenarios

that need regular monitoring, walk-in clinics often lack the continuity needed, he adds. “You never know who you’re going to get the next time you go in.” Prostate specific anti-

gen (PSA) test orders, not unlike mammograms for women, generally require the patient to have a regular doctor to send the results to. McElroy was fortunate that in his situation, the results were secured by the clinic which ordered the PSA test initially and they let him know they needed to see him. His baseline PSA serum concentration reading wasn’t off the chart at first, slightly higher than what is considered normal, McElroy says. Having been referred to a urologist by the clinic doctor, however, he saw increasingly higher numbers in subsequent testing. McElroy, the studious board chair and treasurer of the Pacific Centre Family Services Association in Colwood and longtime board volunteer around Greater Victoria, read a lot on the topic and researched possible options for people in his situation. In consultation with specialists, he chose to go with complete removal of his prostate gland. PleAse see: Early detection is up to you, page 16

At the end of the day, he’s glad he took action when he did, but he questions the long-term prognosis for health care when thousands of people in Greater Victoria don’t have a regular doctor. “I’m not angry, but I hoped this use of walk-in clinics would be a stopgap measure. What happens in the long run if someone has undetected breast cancer or prostate cancer?” Their chances of survival go down dramatically, says Leanne Kopp, executive director of The Prostate Centre in Victoria. “If caught early, (treatment of) prostate cancer has a 90- to 95-per-cent chance of success,” she says. Kopp agrees with McElroy that middle-aged and older men, especially those using walk-in clinics, need to become advocates for themselves. “As doctors retire, (family) practices are much more difficult to get into,” she says. “In terms of something like a PSA test, where you need to fol-

low that number from year to year, that’s when men tend to fall between the cracks. What’s important is creating that baseline.” The PSA test has been controversial. Critics argue many men with elevated PSA serum readings, including some for whom slow-growing prostate cancer would not pose a higher-than-average health risk, are being recommended for more invasive testing, such as biopsies, that carry a risk of further health problems. Despite the “needle-in-the-haystack” bad press, Kopp insists the PSA test “is really right now the best screening tool for prostate cancer. Until something comes out that can be a better screening tool for men, this is the best way (to detect cancer early).” McElroy says he’s heard related stories. “One today concerns an older man who hadn’t had a prostate exam for years. Like me, he had no pain or symptoms, so never thought about it. Apparently, when they did a PSA, he scored over 600 (a “normal” reading is in the 4.0 to 6.0 range). After an exam, he was told it was really too late to do anything, because the cancer had spread throughout his body. Another point for early detection.” To find out more about PSA testing and its benefits and risks, visit theprostatecentre.org or talk to a physician. Goldstream News Gazette/Black Press

As one of today’s “older adults” you probably enjoy a more active lifestyle than people of your age ever have before, and your vision plays a major role in your lifestyle. You use your eyes while driving, enjoying recreational activities; reading; watching television; and performing many tasks that keep you living independently and productively.

Quesnel rancher Paul Nichols kicked off a cross-Canada horseback ride Monday to introduce a new generation of veterans to the public and seek their support. Nichols, who served with Canadian troops during ethnic warfare in the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s, struggled to control his emotions at a ceremony at the B.C. legislature. “Our Canadian troops do a hard job for us, and when they choose to transition back into civilian life, some of them struggle and lose their way,” Nichols said. “And I can tell you from personal experience that a heartfelt thank-you and timely support from the community during that time of transition can be lifechanging. “So my job through this foundation is to put as many Canadian veterans in the saddle as I can.” Accompanied by other B.C. veterans and

his wife Terry, a therapeutic riding instructor, Nichols plans to connect with 700 veterans in an eight-month journey ending in St. John’s, Newfoundland. “That awareness will create change, and with that change I believe that we can lower the incidence and severity of post-traumatic stress disorder, lower

the incidence of family breakup and I think we can lower the incidence of veteran suicide,” Nichols said. B.C. Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon attended the ceremony to wish the riders well on their journey, offering a stop for hay and food at her ranch in the Nicola Valley. The ride includes

stops in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Hope, Princeton, Summerland, Kelowna, Vernon and Armstrong before continuing into Alberta in May. For more information on the ride, and to follow its progress, see their website at www. communitiesforveterans.com.

Peninsula registrar and one of the main organizers, Linda Cretney, says it’s a milestone for young women, who have been playing field lacrosse outdoors. “We thought we’ll have enough girls for a Bantam or Peewee team,” she said. “But we had 17 Midget-level girls come out to play.” Grant Hamilton, a former Victoria Shamrocks and pro lacrosse player, is coaching the Saanich Bantam girls this season alongside another former Shamrock, Fred Jenner. Hamilton said the key to getting girls’ box lacrosse off the ground was the

means they can actually have enough. Cretney said that means teams under the umbrella of the Peninsula, Saanich, Victoria and Juan de Fuca associations can have players from any of those communities. BCLA’s relaxing of its rules means the league can build, Hamilton added. “All the girls here who have played before have had to play with the boys,” he said. “But it’s hard for them to play at the higher levels. Girls needed a place to go.” Cretney said the region has, in the past, put together box lacrosse teams to play Island championships,

Panorama Rec. will be the site of games in the south Island, as it’s the facility closest to the ferry, she said. Cretney said while some players come with experience, for many others, this is their first time. PLEASE SEE:

Grizzlies’ Gibson named to BCHL all-star team Sidney’s Dane Gibson led team in goals this season Don Descoteau News staff

While the Victoria Grizzlies’ finish in his final season of junior hockey wasn’t what Dane Gibson hoped for, he considers himself fortunate things turned out the way they did overall. Gibson, named last week to the B.C. Hockey League’s first all-star team, posted junior career-best numbers in his only year playing with the Grizz, after spending his first two seasons with the Cowichan Valley Capitals. A number of things led to him having his most successful individual season on the ice — his 32 goals and 57 assists gave him a team-high and BCHL third-best 89 points. Perhaps the biggest factor was making a bold move in the off-season. “I was very nervous in the summer, but I am so glad that I asked

(for a trade to the Grizzlies),” the Sidney native says. Not only was he playing much closer to home and able to see his family on a regular basis, he adds, he found himself in a positive hockey situation. “It was tremendous getting to play at home, and I really was happy with the year I had and all the teammates I had with me for my last season. I had such a great time; the coaches were unreal.” The team struggled to find its form under coach-general manager Brad Knight, but began to right the ship when former head coach Craig Didmon was brought back by the Grizzlies ownership. The team got hot late to finish the regular season second on the Island — powered largely by the Gibson line with Brett Gruber and Matthew Kennedy — but lost a tight opening round playoff series

Victoria Grizzlies forward Dane Gibson (second from left) celebrates a goal. The graduating 20 year old was named to the league’s first all-star team. in six games to Powell River. Gibson, a six-foottwo, 210-pound winger, has more high-level hockey to look forward to. Earlier this year he inked a four-year, fullride deal to attend the University of Maine and

play for the Black Bears of the NCAA’s Hockey East conference. He’s been asked to arrive on campus around the end of July to begin taking courses, as a way to lighten the academic load during hockey season. Gibson, a good

“We started with some drop-in sessions in the fall of 2014,” said Cretney. “Registration was held in January and we’ve only had a few practices, as we had to wait for the ice to come out.” Practices normally happen Wednesday evenings and each team’s time is shared among rec. centres around the area. That, said Cretney, is to play fair with players who might, for instance, play for a Peninsula team, but live on the West Shore. The girls game is being taken in to a few existing boys tournaments this season,

he expects that if he works hard and proves he deserves a spot in the lineup, he’ll see his share of game time. The Black Bears finished middle of the pack in Hockey East this past season and like the Grizzlies, lost their opening round

Cretney said. Teams will also have the opportuntiy to play in two Vancouver girlsonly tournaments. Hamilton added the goal is to build the league, attract more girls to the teams — and to ensure they all have fun. He said the local teams will take a while to get up to speed with Nanaimo and Vancouver, but they are on their way. “We’ve talked about this for years Players are still being taken, said Cretney.

playoff matchup, to Vermont. Watching Providence beat Boston University in the Frozen Four final for its first NCAA title, on TV at home on Saturday, Gibson got a sense of what to expect in the coming years. “It’s gonna be an amazing experience, although with a little bit of a culture shock,” he says of moving to small town New England. “It’s going to be exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time. It’s a fast game.” As for any advice he might have for up-andcoming Grizzlies, he says to make the most of every game, every season. “Some of the younger guys can say there’s always next year, but when your 20-year-old season comes up and you’re down to your last few games (it can hit you),” he says. “It goes by so fast and a lot of people take it for granted. I’d say to always work hard.” — Goldstream News Gazette/Black Press ACCESS TO JUSTICE:
