STANDS UP AGAINST CANCER

Port Hueneme— The Ray D. Prueter Paubic Library let the dogs out Nov. 2, as the Annual Bark for Life event brought dog lovers and their furry friends out to support cancer survivors and their families.

HE event featured lots of music, camaraderie, food, a doggie costume contest and a dog walk against cancer. The Bark for Life is a feeder event to the main Relay for Life event, scheduled for June 29, 2019, at Pacifica High School. Tracy Sisson-Philips, event lead for the Relay for Life and Bark for Life in West Ventura County, said this is the seventh annual event. Sisson-Philips said Port Hueneme has participated in the Relay for Life since 2009, and her involvement with the Bark for Life grew from that association. “In 2018, we have combined with Camarillo and other cities in Ventura County to have a larger and more robust event,” she said. “The relay is a donation of what you can afford. We ask our participants to raise $100 to earn their event t-shirt. This is an opportunity to bring their dogs out. Normally relays are held at high schools, where dogs are not as welcome. This is an opportunity for cancer survivors to come down with their companions and celebrate some of the same things we do at the relay.” She loves hearing about what the American Cancer Foundation (ACF) does for patients.

“They offer free rides to-and-from chemo treatments, a road to recovery program and the “Look Good, Feel Better” program where women get tips on how to feel better, in addition to the 24-hour helpline, 1-800ACS-2345,” Sisson-Philips said.

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com

Oxnard-- A huge crowd filled Rio Vista Middle School grounds, Nov. 3, as the Annual Science Fair brought scores of children and their parents out to be amazed and inspired by all the experiments offered. The event was co-sponsored by California State University Channel Islands and the Ventura County Stem Network who worked together to make the event a success. Attendees were welcomed by the California State University Channel Islands Young Scientist Program, which member Evan House said allows kids to come in, put on a lab coat, and go behind the booths with their Willy Wonka aesthetic ticket. “This is our first year,” he said.
