Community rallies around Hannah Day Charla Huber News staff

harmaine Partington’s heart sank when she heard about a young Langford girl with cancer.

Three-year-old Hannah Day is being treated for Stage 4 rhabdomyosarcoma at B.C. Children’s hospital.

Even though Partington has never met Day or her family, the young girl’s story hit close to home.

“I thought what if this happened to my kid?” said Partington, whose daughter Alicia is close in age to Hannah.

“It’s hard to hand over money you don’t have, but since I’ve had Alicia I’ve seen how important community is.”

After thinking about the sick tot, Partington decided she had to do something for the family. Both of Day’s parents have stopped working to be at their daughter’s bedside.

Gordon United Church donated the space for the fundraiser and Partington has been collecting children’s items such as clothing, toys, books, bedding and maternity items to sell.

Hearing about a sick toddler is one thing, but when Partington heard about the family’s history she had to spring into action.

Community support

Colwood mother, Charmaine Partington with her daughter Alicia, is organizing a garage sale to raise money for the family of three-year-old Hannah Day. Day, from Langford, is batting a rare form of cancer at B.C. Children’s Hospital.

Charla Huber/News staff

Day and her family fell victim to a fire at Day’s Welding and Fabricating on Dunford Avenue, Jan. 2, 2011. Not only did the family lose its business but they lived in a suite in the building. The family lost everything.

Hannah Day was admitted to the B.C. Children’s hospital Aug. 2. She also has a younger sister who is being cared for by other family members.

This is the second known case of rhabdomyosarcoma hitting the West Shore in recent years. Delaney Dunlop, an 18-year-old from Metchosin, was first diagnosed with the rare cancer in July 2009 and died on Thanksgiving Day in 2010.

“It’s incredibly rare,” said Suzanne Germain, Vancouver Island Health Authority spokesperson, noting rhabdomyosarcoma accounts for about three per cent of all childhood cancers.

Donations for the garage sale benefiting the Day family are still being collected and can be arranged through Partington via email at believeit17@gmail.com The garage sale is Sept. 8, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the Gordon United Church, 935 Goldstream Ave. All items will be sold by donation and all funds will be passed on to Day’s family. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

LIFE in the FAST LANE Highlands NASCAR driver Josh Reaume loooking for a shot at big league Kyle Wells News staff

W

ith 600 horsepower at his command, Josh Reaume enjoys going fast.

The 21-year-old Highlands resident’s car is fully fabricated, built from the ground up, but with a faux body mocked after a Camaro to give it a stock look. And with sponsorship from Colonial Countertops and Islandnet.com to help with costs, Reaume said he’s having a blast.

He races in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West, a level often seen as a proving ground for drivers looking to race in the big leagues – the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.

Reaume’s team has been busy lately.

He raced at Miller Motorsports Park in Utah at the beginning of the year. Next up were speedways in Iowa and Washington.

His best finish so far has been 15th. He was in line for a top 10 finish in Utah until his gear shifter broke off and he couldn’t get the car out of second.

The Victoria Foundation & Black Press Working Together – how philanthropy shapes our community

Charities plan for the future 13 new endowment funds established Building on its 76-year history, the Victoria Foundation has boldly invested in the vitality of our region once again. The Foundation has created 13 new endowment funds that will benefit hundreds of clients of Vancouver Island charities. The funds were created with $100,000 in matching funds from the Foundation as part of its new Smart & Caring Community Fund.

Each of the organizations is contributing a minimum of $7,500 toward their new endowment fund, which is being matched by $7,500 from the Smart & Caring Community Fund.

“We created the Smart & Caring Community Fund in response to a call last year from the Governor General of Canada, The Right Honourable David Johnston,” said Sandra Richardson, CEO of the Victoria Foundation. “He asked the country’s community foundations to join him in bringing to life a vision for a smarter and more caring nation. This endowment initiative is one way of responding to his goals to expand the reach of community foundations and to help more organizations respond to their clients’ individual needs and opportunities.”

As well, $100,000 in matching funds from the Smart & Caring Community Fund is being used to support a physical literacy program for children. This pilot program with The Cridge Centre for the Family, Pacific Institute for Sport Excellence and Pacific Sport Victoria was officially launched on July 19 with Governor Gen-

eral David Johnston in attendance. Donations will continue to be accepted for this program.

The opportunity to participate in the matching program was offered to registered charities that had previously contacted the Victoria Foundation to discuss setting up an endowment. It was soon fully subscribed by astute Boards of Directors who knew a good opportunity when they saw one.

As part of its charitable activities, the Victoria Foundation manages 100 endowment funds for 75 registered charities, annually distributing earnings from these permanent funds to the organizations. The Foundation accepts donations to the funds on behalf of the charities, thereby reducing their costs and administration time. The funds also benefit from the diversification of being part of the Foundation’s $180million in assets under management.

Gifts to any of the endowment funds that are managed by the Victoria Foundation can be made online at www.victoriafoundation.bc.ca.

Donations may also be made directly to the Victoria Foundation by credit card, cheque or publicly traded securities. Contact the Foundation at 250-381-5532 for more information on these donation options.

The organizations participating in this matching program are: • 1UP Victoria Single Parent Resource Centre • Bateman Foundation • Boys and Girls Clubs of Central Vancouver Island • City of Victoria Shape Your Future Victoria Legacy Fund • Island Deaf and Hard of Hearing Society • Learning Through Loss Society • Maritime Museum of BC • Metchosin Foundation • Mount Douglas Secondary Alumni Association • Pacific Peoples’ Partnership • Prostate Centre • Saanich Legacy Foundation • Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre

Since 1936, the Victoria Foundation’s permanent endowment has had the power to connect people who care with causes that matter. If you wish to make a difference in your community – one that has lasting impact, start here.

Call Sandra Richardson, CEO for information at 250.381.5532. www.victoriafoundation.bc.ca

THINK FAR-SIGHTED AND FAR-RANGING.

1. The Maritime Museum of BC represents a rich and vast link to the province’s nautical roots by maintaining a large collection of artifacts, photographs and charts, and running popular public and school programs.

2. The Prostate Centre, a community-based health organization, is a resource centre for Vancouver Island and Gulf Islands patients and their families coping with prostate cancer.

3. The Metchosin Foundation encourages and supports the rural nature of Metchosin while preserving and safeguarding the unique ecosystems, flora and fauna for everyone to enjoy.

Minor earthquake rumbles West Shore on Wednesday Jim Zeeben News staff

It was a minor quake but it gave the West Shore enough of a rumble that many residents reported feeling the earth shake.

The earthquake happened at 3:20 p.m., Wednesday.

“It’s a moderate event,” said earthquake seismologist Alison Bird, minutes after the quake struck northwest of Langford.

Bird and other scientists

with Natural Resource Canada spent a few minutes analyzing their data before confirming the quake measured a magnitude 3 and struck just northwest of Langford at 48.5 North and 123.6 West.

The centre was near remote Goldstream Lake and at a depth of 26 kilometres.

Reports came in from a fairly concentrated area, Bird said, adding the information suggests the quake was caused by move-

ment of the North American Plate.

Earthquakes are a daily event in this part of the world, though Wednesday’s rumble was a little larger than most.

The earthquake was felt by the Goldstream News Gazette staff as well as employees at Goldstream provincial park close to the epicentre. “It gave our nature house a good little rumble,” said Bre Robinson, park naturalist. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Brush fires keep fire departments busy Charla Huber News staff

Cooler weather hasn’t changed the extreme fire warnings on the West Shore.

View Royal Fire Rescue fought a brush fire at Thetis Lake, on Aug. 28 shortly after 6 p.m.

“We were able to knock it down with water from the bush truck,” said fire Chief Paul Hurst. “It was a remote area and there was no way to use lake water.”

The bush truck was able to drive up to the fire, about one kilometre aware from Bellamy Road.

The space was tight and the truck had to reverse its way out.

A helicopter was called into assist with water, but due to the dim evening light the helicopter could not be used.

The 100 foot by 100 foot fire was sparked by an unattended campfire. Fires and camping are prohibited in the park.

“It was a pretty well hidden campsite and it appeared to be well used,” Hurst said, adding the

information has been sent to the Capital Regional District parks department.

On Sunday, Aug. 26, Metchosin firefighters attended a brush fire on Malloch Road. Fire hydrants had been placed on the road in the spring when a water main was extended to service homes in the area as well as the Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre.

However, the CRD had turned the hydrants off to test water quality. Aware of this, the Metchosin Volunteer Fire Department notified the CRD, which immediately dispatched someone to turn on a hydrant.

“CRD isolated one hydrant to boost water pressure,” said Metchosin Capt. Jason Humphries who was pleased with the quick response of CRD. The fire grew to 100 feet by 160 feet and was travelling up a bank towards a house. “We were able to get to the fire when it was within 20 feet of the house,” Humphries said.

The fire was also caused by a bonfire that had not been properly contained. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

School zones start Tuesday Kyle Wells News staff

With the school year starting Tuesday, West Shore RCMP are reminding drivers that they could face steep fines if they don’t slow down in school zones.

There will be increased police presence outside of schools to enforce speed limits and to make sure drivers are obeying school crossing guards. “(Police) are pretty excited about catching speeders, especially in the school zone,� RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Max Fossum said. “So they’ll be in full force on that.�

School zones are in effect from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Monday to Friday. During those hours drivers must keep to 30 kilometres per hour within marked school zones.

Speeders face a fine of $196 for driving up to 20 km/h over the speed limit. Drivers going more than 20 km/h over the limit will face a fine of $253.

Speeders will also receive points on their licence.

There is also a fine of $167 for not obeying flag people or crossing guards.

Fossum said it’s important for parents to talk to their children about paying attention when near roads around schools. He said it can be dangerous to be texting or talking on a cell phone while crossing the road.

BCAA reports children are up to one-third more likely to get struck by a vehicle while crossing the street if they are using a cell phone. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Victoria men charged with securities crimes News staff

Three men from Greater Victoria face charges relating to improperly selling securities four years ago linked to an Alberta real estate investment company.

Saanich police and West Shore RCMP assisted the B.C. Securities Commission criminal investigation team in the investigation, which led to the arrest of two men on Tuesday. A third suspect is still at large.

Daniel Barton, 29, a resident of Victoria, and Gregory Gillespie, 36, of Saanich, were each arrested at their respective homes without incident, and made their first appearance in court Wednesday. They are due back in Victoria provincial court on Sept. 19.

As of Wednesday, Andrew Chengalath, 28, remains at large and the court has issued a warrant for his arrest.

The three men are each charged under the Securities Act with selling securities though Oasis Properties Inc. without being registered with any regulating agency, and charged with selling securities without a prospectus. The alleged offenses took place between March 1, 2008 and Oct. 31, 2009.

B.C. Securities Commission alleges the men improperly sold securities related to a real estate investment centered on 1250604 Alberta Ltd., an Alberta company controlled

by Barton and doing business as Oasis Properties and Caprice Investments.

OUR VIEW

Holiday reminder of labour unrest F

or many families and working individuals, Labour Day offers one last chance to extend the summer and enjoy a long weekend.

But for a large number of unionized workers in B.C., it signals what could be the start of a fall and winter of discontent.

Unsatisfied with a three-per-cent wage hike offer and a stagnant state of negotiations with the province, the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union is staging a one-day walkout next Wednesday (Sept. 5).

The strike, which will see essential service levels maintained, doesn’t come out of the blue.

Civil servants have been without a contract since March 31 and bargaining between the two sides has stalled.

The timing of this move by one of the province’s largest unions is rather ironic. Unions fought for workers’ rights for years, achieving gains in safety, working hours, job security and not least, wages.

Now, as much of B.C. is taking a well-deserved day off on a holiday originating from union victories on the issues of work hours and living wages, the BCGEU and other unions are gearing up for more fights, with wages, benefits and job security still at issue.

More than 1,300 support staff at the University of Victoria, without a contract since March 2010, are considering job action options for next week as students return to class. Job security is at issue – CUPE fears the province’s call for universities to find major cost savings could see major job losses – but holding the line on wages to save jobs is not on the table.

And for much of this year, the 30,000-strong B.C. Nurses’ Union has stated that better patient care and adequate staffing levels – requiring more hires and more government dollars – are top priorities in contract negotiations with the province.

We can be grateful to workers of old for our September holiday and the conditions around which we earn our living.

But with the province still struggling to right itself on shaky economic ground, the unions of today need to remember they can’t expect to keep gaining while others continue to struggle.

It’s easy to become preoccupied.

We all have jobs or families or both, that take up much of our time. We plan vacations, business trips and coffee dates and fill our iPhones and Blackberries with appointments and reminders that seem to pop up on our screens in an endless slideshow of “to-dos.”

But seldom do I – and I’m sure many others – take the few minutes it would require out of my week to stop and consider someone else’s misfortune. Consider the needs of someone less fortunate or maybe a person who just needs a helping hand at that very moment.

We know that in every community there are people less fortunate than us. And sometimes, although we may not want to consider it, we might fall on hard times ourselves. As a community, we rely on the generosity and consideration of one another.

Whether it’s fundraising to help one of our own battle an illness, donating clothes or toys to a neighbour who could put them to better use, or simply dropping by a few cans of food to the food bank – we all benefit from giving back to the communities we live in.

We just have to remember and take the time to do it.

LETTERS Sewage plant proposal offered There is absolutely no requirement for a land-based sewage treatment plant on the South Island, but, if this proposed insanity must prevail and a billion dollars squandered for no purpose, I offer the following proposal.

We live in an earthquake zone. It is not logical to bury 45 kilometres of pipe underground to a dump that will reach its maximum capacity in 2035.

Instead, build the sludge collection facility at McLoughlin Point complete with a docking facility for two large barges.

Build a treatment plant in the

Albert Head area complete with a protected docking facility for one barge. The barges would act as holding tanks with the sludge pumped directly into the treatment plant.

The proposed system has numerous advantages.

By reversing the main trunk from the Western Communities at Parson’s Bridge to a treatment facility at Albert Head, the future cost of enlarging the trunk, as population growth in the Western Communities will require, is eliminated.

Properly maintained

barges have the same life expectancy as large pipe. The risk of earthquake damage to the piping infrastructure to Hartland Road is eliminated.

Maintenance and operating costs for the pumps required to pump uphill to the dump are eliminated. All the disruption and expense of the piping systems and the new McLoughlin Point outfall will be eliminated.

Consider this proposal, before more money is wasted on studies and lawyers fees.

Readers respond: Deer, skateboarding, horses Deer and any dogs don’t mix on trail Re: Bambi fights back (News, Aug. 24) The deer is protecting its young. In this case the fawns are old enough to forage with their mother, but earlier in the year, a fawn may have been left in bushes while the mother gets nourishment for both of them.

Beware that conservation officers are not all knowledgeable. There is a wellknown case of a woman in B.C. being attacked by a deer because she laid on top of her lap-mutts to protect them. An unusual case I suppose, but note that Mary-Jo Morin was with a dog.

Deer seem to treat dogs as enemies at a very instinctive level, not habituating as they seem to do with humans – likely they are thinking coyote and wolf. Deer are agile and can do damage with their hoofs. Just be thankful there aren’t caribou, elk, or moose here.

Deer are in urban areas because the food is better and the predators fewer, though cougar sightings seem to have increased with the deer population (I don’t have statistics, sometimes cougars get lost at night and follow a road or railway track in the wrong direction).

Morin should lobby individuals on the Capital Regional District board, who will probably have to make the final decision on how to handle the deer nuisance. She should work to educate voters that deer are animals who have long been food for humans. The B.C. government’s big report on deer found the only effective harm-reduction strategy was a periodic cull, typically giving the meat to food banks, but threw the issue over the wall to locals.

People should ensure dogs do not go near deer and look into possible ways to warn

deer off. Such methods aren’t necessarily obvious, however, and may take a little research (e.g., in areas where hunting is allowed, sharp noises might scare such animals, but in urban areas I doubt it).

Skateboard commuter feels picked on It seems Victoria police have solved all the city’s crime. In fact, it seems they are so bored with their jobs that they have taken up the fight against green transportation.

Every day, I skateboard from Cook Street to the waterfront, where I work full time. I am respectful and mindful of traffic, ride slowly on the sidewalk when there is no bike lane provided and thus far have caused no collisions or injury to persons or property on my way.

Instead of driving a car or taking a taxi, I choose to do my part to keep B.C. and the world a beautiful place to live; I get a good workout and get to see parts of the city on route.

It seems that city hall is not interested in keeping Victoria green so much as keeping up an image, one that doesn’t include its residents.

I know many, many other people such as myself who skate to work, downtown, every day. We run the cafes, the restaurants and the shops that make downtown so attractive to tourists and residents alike, and we need a way to get there.

Victoria police are enforcing a ridiculous bylaw that bans all “person powered vehicles,” including skateboards, scooters and rollerblades, in the downtown area, an offense that carries a $60 fine and impound of the board.

I find this a very backwards step. Most cities with a clue would never pull a stunt like this on their own constituents.

I feel harassed and singled out

because of one minor incident, involving someone who is obviously unconcerned with public safety regardless of what they are riding. If the person who ran down the elderly couple can’t skateboard, I guess they’ll just have to drive a car.

Isn’t that a comforting thought?

Working horses can be treated better Re: Quaint tradition questioned (News, Aug. 8) I was brought up with work horses on our farm in Alberta.

The horses were part of the family. They never had to walk all day on hot pavement, breathing fumes and being confused with all the noise.

My dad would get up early in the morning to work the fields to make sure the horses were never working in the hot sun.

If a horse could have its choice, I’m sure they would prefer the earth under their feet, working fields with a couple of birds riding along on their back, instead of the city environment.

Camosun brings popular courses to West Shore “It’s interesting when you step outside the box of a classroom what kind of students you attract.”

Jim Zeeben News staff

They’re so adorable when they’re having fun.

(So are the kids.)

At Timbits Soccer, everyone gets into the game. Kids make new friends, and parents have fun cheering them on. Your local Tim Hortons is proud to support the over 1,100 boys and girls who play Timbits soccer in the greater Victoria area.

West Shore students can skip the queue to get into a popular course that touches on some of the most trendy topics in popular culture.

Camosun College has been working on attracting students from this fast growing region for several years.

The school offers post-secondary courses at the West Shore Annex as well as Spencer middle school.

Among the available courses is a Geography 111 course on Natural Hazards, taught by Trisha Jarrett.

“The general public gets inundated with (information) about natural hazards,” she said, explaining the same course is offered at Camosun’s Lansdowne campus, where it has a long wait list.

The course examines environmental processes and links them to natural hazards that are known to take place across the planet. Students also learn how human development and planning can play a role in how much risk populated areas face.

“A student might say, ‘I hear a lot about (natural hazards) in my everyday life,’” she said, explaining students will learn to use critical thinking

Ecstasy, other drugs seized in major bust

GlenHeights Condos

Four people were arrested last week after undercover police officers in Victoria bought various illegal club drugs during a three-month sting operation.

Police say they purchased ecstasy, ketamine and cocaine from a group allegedly dealing the drugs in city bars and clubs.

The sting, dubbed King of Clubs, was initiated after a series of ecstasyrelated deaths in B.C. and Alberta in late 2011.

David Orchard, Cheryl Weeks, Christopher Cook and Sara Clough are charged with drug offences. cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

NDP MLAs used the first public meeting of the legislative management committee to call for former clerk of the house George MacMinn to be removed from his $240,000-a-year consulting job.

NDP house leader John Horgan called for the second year of MacMinn’s consulting contract to be terminated, and asked if taxpayers are paying him for his car, club memberships or pension in addition to extending his salary.

MacMinn stepped down last year after 54 years as a legislative clerk, the longest term in Commonwealth history. He served as chief clerk from 1993 until last year, when he agreed to make way for his long-time assistant Craig James.

Horgan said the succession took place without consulting the official opposition, and was “orchestrated” by MacMinn to include the consulting arrangement that extended his salary and benefits for two years. He said committee members don’t know what MacMinn is supposed to do as a consultant, but public accounts show he was paid $250,000 plus $22,000 in travel expenses last year.

B.C. Liberal members of the committee agreed Tuesday to review MacMinn’s position, once a report is prepared on his duties. James warned that the two-year term is legally binding, and if it was terminated it could increase the cost to taxpayers.

The Liberal majority voted to approve James’ appointment and the consulting role for MacMinn last year, with NDP MLAs opposed. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Not just another Monday Movie Monday going strong on grounds of Royal Jubilee Hospital Travis Paterson News staff

Even in its 20th year, Movie Monday continues to slip under the radar. Or does it?

For those in the know, it’s a good thing. It means more facetime with coordinator Bruce Saunders, who brings one hell of a conversation, and – if the film being screened is followed by a Q&A with the director – then there’s an even better chance to talk to them too.

Plus, the lecture theatre of the Eric Martin Pavilion at Royal Jubilee Hospital is big, but not that big, so regulars can count on getting a seat.

In reality, the Monday night screenings draw between 70 to 80 people, a mostly full theatre, while the donations average $1 per head.

“We certainly get our share of full houses,” Saunders says. “Spe-

cial screenings, in particular, will fill the place, such as the 19th anniversary party we recently held in June.”

Saunders has often wondered if people are wary about coming down to Movie Monday because it’s housed in the Eric Martin, the hospital’s mental health ward.

“Originally it was to cater to inpatients but I gradually learned they are unlikely to make it down, as they’re waiting for family”.

Instead, Saunders has engaged the public to let them know the event is open to all, and the movies cover the whole spectrum.

Now showing ■ Sept. 10, 6:30 p.m. Into The Wind rediscovers the Terry Fox story, just in time for the annual run happening on Sept. 16. The documentary features Steve Nash and his filmmaker cousin Ezra Holland and goes far beyond what most Canadians know about the icon.

■ Sept. 17, 6:30 p.m., To Make a Farm.

Every day is Monday, yo Saunders has partnered with Yo Video at Foul Bay and Cadboro Bay Roads, where a library of Movie Monday’s films are available to rent, and on the cheap.

“That was part of the deal.

I want the movies to be seen; I don’t just want them sitting there,” Saunders said.

He arranged a Q&A with psychiatrist Dr. Dean Brooks, who was in charge of Oregon State Hospital at the time One Flew Over Cuckoo’s Nest was shot there, and acted in it, too (only later did Saunders moderate the Q&A sessions for Movie Monday).

“I’ve always wanted to make this a place for people with mental illness to come and find community. But mental illness is invisible anyways, so there’s no quantifying just how much of an impact we’ve had.”

On Friday Aug. 17, for example, Saunders showed The Maze, the story of Canadian artist William Kurelek, whose work is on exhibit at the Art Gallery of Victoria until

Travis Paterson/News staff

Bruce Saunders is now in his 20th year of running Movie Monday out of the lecture theatre in the Eric Martin Pavilion at the Royal Jubilee Hospital.

Sept. 3. In attendance were filmmaker Zack Young and Kurelek’s son, Stephen, who addressed the packed audience.

William Kurelek died a devout Catholic in 1977 at the age of 50, recovered from a troubled life of mental illness and addiction.

“To me, it’s such an incredibly valuable film,” Saunders said. “I really believe we’ll see Kurelek end up on par with Emily Carr one day, not so far away, and we unravelled

the whole story right here.”

It’s another example of the many great films which slip through the cracks of mainstream movie watchers.

“There’s so many of these Canadian and international movies that we’ve shown.

“When I started in 1993, I had no idea I could keep the program together this long. But there’s so much positive feedback.” sports@vicnews.com

Celebrate workers and their contributions this weekend Labour Council honours workers at annual picnic Workers from across the Capital Region and their families will gather at Irving Park this Monday, as the Victoria Labour Council marks its annual Labour Day picnic.

From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the James Bay Park – at the corner of Menzies and Michigan Streets – will be the place to mark the efforts and achievements of workers over the decades, while also enjoying a good measure of fun.

For many British Columbians, Labour Day may simply mean the last extended weekend of the summer.

It is important to remember it is a day to celebrate working people and the contribution they make to the province and the quality of life we enjoy.

The rights that workers have today, such as a 40-hour work week, minimum wage, parental leave and paid holidays, were hard fought for in times when labourers had few benefits, no voice and worked in perilous conditions. Many of the protections and rights that today’s employees have exist because of unions.

The origins of this national holiday are rooted Labour Day is celebrated on the first Monday of in the history of the Canadian labour movement every September and this year on Sept. 3 it will be that began in the time of Prime Minister Sir John in a show of solidarity for working people across A. Macdonald. the country and beyond.

From a bold stand by a group of Ontario printers in May of 1872 grew the most important legislation to impact workers in the following century.

Union pioneers petitioned their employers for a reduction in the number of hours worked - asking that their workweek be reduced to six, nine-hour Labour Day is celebrated each days. year on the first Monday in Forming an organization dubbed the Nine September.

and rejected their demands.

At the time it was a crime to be member of a union in Canada yet in a courageous act of defiance, the Toronto Typographical Union went on strike to secure the ninehour workday.

A parade was held which drew some 10,000 spectators. The workers went on strike. Many lost their job and were forced to relocate.

Their employers brought in replacement workers and used this so called ‘conspiracy’ to have 24 members of the movement arrested and jailed.

On June 14, 1872 Macdonald passed the Trade Union Act that legalized union activity, freed the workers and endeared him to the working class.

The Toronto printers strike paved the way for unions across North America to demand a 54hour workweek.

Canadian trade unionists have ever since celebrated this day that has been set aside to honour ‘those who labour.’ The first Labour Day parade was held in Winnipeg in 1894, and was two miles long.

Today approximately 30 per cent of B.C.’s workforce is covered by a collective agreement.

As Labour Day has evolved it remains a day of celebration, solidarity, speeches and recreation.

This Labour Day, take a moment to reflect on the history and significance of the day.

oe Iannarelli has been around nearly as long as the town where he made a name for himself.

But the former Esquimalt Sports Centre manager looks and acts two decades younger than his 90 years, gingerly walking alongside his second home, now known as the Archie Browning Sports Centre.

“There’s a lot of memories here,” he said.

Iannarelli will be inducted into the Victoria Sports Hall of Fame on Oct. 27, an honour that recognizes his contributions as a community organizer for Esquimalt and Vancouver Island.

The Timmins, Ont., native fell in love with the West Coast after playing a half-season with the old Vancouver Canucks in 1949, part of a four-season stint in minor pro hockey.

But it wasn’t until 1961 that Iannarelli found his way back through a job posting in the Toronto Star sports section.

“There was an ad for an arena manager job in Esquimalt, B.C. So I said to my brother, ‘I don’t know where the hell it is, but if it’s not near a big city, I’m not going.’”

Iannarelli became the first manager of the sports centre – the first multi-purpose facility of its kind on Vancouver Island – and spent 20 years at the helm.

His commitment spawned hugely successful hockey, lacrosse and curling leagues, as well as a summer hockey school that grew to 600 annual participants from across Canada.

To take advantage of the empty hockey rink during the summer months, Iannarelli created a roller skating night that attracted upwards of 700 patrons each week.

“Joe built it into probably the best community arena in Canada,” said long-time friend and physician Dan Buie.

“I’m a hockey guy and I love hockey,” Iannarelli said, recalling the glory days when the sports centre sold out Friday night double-headers featuring teams from the Canadian army, navy, University of Victoria and one commercial franchise.

“You couldn’t get a person in or out on a Friday night with Vaseline,” Buie said. “Joe started a commercial hockey league that was the rival of any league in Canada.”

During the Second World War, Iannarelli worked as a physical training instructor for the Canadian Forces at various

bases between Ontario and Nova Scotia.

After the war, he spent four years playing on National Hockey League farm teams, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Detroit Red Wings goalie Terry Sawchuk and others.

“When I attended Detroit training camp in 1946, my bunkmate was a guy named Gordie Howe – he was 18 years old,” Iannarelli said.

The two lived in the hockey arena in Omaha, Neb., scraping the ice between periods for $5 a day. They remain good friends.

But it’s the many local friendships Iannarelli and wife, Jean, forged over the years that make him most proud.

“One of the reasons why I took the job was I liked the people that were interviewing me. I was impressed with them and the community,” he said.

On Aug. 18, the Esquimalt community threw Iannarelli a 90th birthday party at the sports centre’s curling rink, a small token of appreciation for a “very classy gentleman,” Buie said.

When asked what advice he would impart to his two – soon to be three – great-grandchildren, Iannarelli reflected on the guiding principle of his storied career.

“Do what you love,” he said. dpalmer@vicnews.com

As Greater Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior population grows, so will the strain on long-term health care systems.

Last week federal and provincial governments awarded two University of Victoria researchers from the Centre on Aging more than $330,000 toward investigating how older adults transition through longterm care services.

Margaret Penning and Denise Cloutier will lead the study aimed at understanding the common pathways that people experience, with an ultimate goal of providing better care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once we identify some of those common patterns, we want to say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;are there particular individual and social factors that are common to their experiences?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Cloutier, a professor in the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s department of geography.

The study will evaluate data collected from people aged 75 and older connected to the Fraser Health Authority, the fastest growing health authority in B.C. Penning, of the UVic department of sociology, and Cloutier will evaluate individual trajectories based on age, gender, income, social

factors and available community resources. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand a lot about what makes people spend a certain amount of time in home care and then transition into residential care.

Or why they would go to residential care immediately, and then around that, what happens when they go in and out of hospital,â&#x20AC;? Cloutier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is on those transitions people are the most vulnerable. If we can learn more about those transitions and whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most vulnerable, we can presumably plan better care and services in the (future).â&#x20AC;?

Diane Finegood, president-CEO of the Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research, spoke from experience, having witnessed a family memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move to long-term care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know we really need to understand those transitions better and think about how to ease them and make them less inconvenient,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to tackle and overcome the challenges we face with the changing demographic of our culture, the rising costs associated with new technologies and the availability of resources, we need research and we need to put that research into practice.â&#x20AC;? nnorth@saanichnews.com

B.C. Ferries will scrap 32 roundtrip sailings between Swartz Bay and Tsawwassen this fall and winter, making it a little harder to get off the Island. The service reduction on the major route will impact periodic afternoon sailings on Fridays and Sundays, as well as some Saturday morning sailings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We certainly have enough capacity (to carry all passengers) with the sailings we will sail,â&#x20AC;? said Deborah Marshall, executive director of public affairs.

The reduction will only impact some even-hour sailings. Regular odd-hour service will continue.

Two other major routes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Horseshoe Bay to Departure Bay and Tsawwassen to Duke Point â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will see fewer sailings, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is all in an effort to save dollars, which helps keep fares lower,â&#x20AC;?

Marshall said.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimated the 98 cancelled sailings on the main routes will save B.C. Ferries $1 million this year. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Junior B hockey season begins this week Travis Paterson News staff

B

rian Burke can say whatever he wants, and often does. But when the esteemed general manager of the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs told Victoria Cougars owner Gary Boyer about the growing reputation of junior B hockey, the fact is, he didn’t need to.

It was during the Abbotsford-hosted Cyclone Taylor Cup provincial championship in March that Boyer ran into Burke in the lobby of an Abbotsford hotel. Burke was there to watch the AHL playoff series between the Abbotsford Heatand the Leafs’ farm club, the Toronto Marlies. “(Burke) wanted to know who our team was, he said, ‘junior B in B.C. is the best in Canada and your drawing the attention of the NCAA,’” Boyer said.

It’s an easy thing to say, sure, but it also doesn’t come as a surprise.

The Cougars are sending five players to college this fall from the 2011-12 team. Three to the NCAA, and two to the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League. Defenceman Kurtis Kunz, who is actually from Utah, is going to the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, an NCAA Div. 1 program.

Making the jump to Div. 1 from junior B is pretty rare, but it’s starting to happne, Boyer said.

The other Cougars going to the NCAA are Colin Minardi to Finlandia University in Michigan, a Div. III program, and Josh Wyatt, who committed to Weber State University, in Utah, a Div. II team.

Going to the BCIHL are Connor Stephens to Selkirk College and Steve Axford to Okanagan College.

It’s not first set of Cougars to go directly to the NCAA, as Jimmy Carter and Jordan Zalba had previously made the jump.

“Every year we make the promise to our players to do everything we can to help them with post-secondary and junior A aspirations,” coach Mark Van Helvoirt said.

“We want to get our younger kids up to the junior A level as soon as possible, but there’s older kids, and we want them to be motivated too.”

To help the 19 and 20 year olds, Van Helvoirt and staff create video packages of the players and

“The difference is, this year we had schools pursuing us, and had scholarships waiting. It’s also becoming easier to move players on due to the fact our previous players are doing a good job.”

Cougars the team to beat With high-scoring captain Brody Coulter returning, the Victoria Cougars are the early favourites once again.

The champs are coming off a dominating season in which the team was first in the regular season and won the Brent Patterson Memorial playoff trophy.

But the Cougars also lost the provincial trophy on a flukey goal in overtime, which was just a few months ago, so motivation shouldn’t be a question mark. Neither is their leadership, under coach-of-the-year winner Mark Van Helvoirt.

The Cougars did move five players from last year’s championship team to college this season, however, and more are hoping for junior A spots. But its all merely a matter of rebuilding around a core that is mostly there. The defence will closely resemble that of last year’s, while newcomer Garrett Brandsma

Bantam golfers hit top-10 Three Victoria golfers, two boys and one girl, finished in the top 10 in of the 2012 B.C. Championship Series for bantam age golfers (under-13), which finished at the Merritt Golf and Country Club on Tuesday.

The bantam boys and girls Championship is contested annually for players aged 13 and younger as of the last day of the competition.

Duncan’s Callum Davison captured the boys title with a 5-under

par and Richmond’s Katherine Chan won the girls title with a 4-under par.

Victoria boys Keaton Gudz and Ethan Ko finished seventh and 10th, respectively. Gudz shot par 72 in both rounds to finish even and Ko shot a total nine-over par.

Lexi Kondrak was the top female finisher from Victoria, 10th overall with a total round of 163, 19-over. sports@vicnews.com

scored 39 points in 39 games as an 18-year-old with the Comox Valley Glacier Kings last year.

Wolves will bring bite As the curtain draws back this week to reveal the Westshore Wolves, there will be a few surprises.

The Wolves may not set the league on fire in its first season, but make no mistake – this is not the West Shore’s previous club, the Westshore Stingers.

Wolves ownership has sold the idea of a clean break from the get-go, and now with head coach and general manager Victor Gervais in place, the Wolves are ready to walk the walk.

Gervais led a long career in the pros before he enjoyed plenty of success handling the GM and coaching duties for the junior A Victoria Grizzlies in the B.C. Hockey League the past four seasons. And though Gervais never made the NHL, he crossed paths with plenty of NHL greats. During his journey in the minors, Gervais was on teams with future NHL coaches including Barry Trotz (Nashville Predators) and Joel Quenneville (Chicago Blackhawks), among others.

In short, the transition period for

Gervais’ Wolves will be no different than any other team finding its chemistry in the early going. Add to that, Gervais has been a regular attendee at junior B games the last few years, and knows the league. He’s acquired a core of veterans from around the league and top prospects out of midget, which the Stingers never did.

The Braves are back Last year the Braves got something the team was desperately missing – a star.

It had been several years since the Braves had a scorer who topped 25 points when Ty Jones returned to captain the club. Jones scored 75 points in 34 games. He won the league MVP, shared the scoring title with Steven Axford and carried the team to its best playoff run in the recent era.

The Braves may have suffered a crushing semifinal loss to the Peninsula Panthers, but with Jones coming back, the team is riding high as a premier club in the league. Add to that the likely WHL promotion of Jack Palmer, who won the league’s rookie of the year award, and coach Brad Cook has a brand he can sell to future players. sports@vicnews.com

Vees’ Murphy de-commits from NCAA Penticton Vees forward Wade Murphy, of Victoria, has reversed his previously signed letter of intention to play hockey for Merrimack College, a Div. 1 men’s program in the National Collegiate Athletic Association.

The team announced Murphy’s decision on the weekend, saying they expect the Spectrum Community school graduate to return for the 2012-13 season.

“These situations are never

easy,” Vees coach-general manager Fred Harbinson said in a team statement. “Wade simply felt he rushed into a decision and has decided he wants to reevaluate where he will play college hockey next year.”

Murphy has played 145 career games in the BCHL so far. He made the Victoria Grizzlies from the Saanich Braves and, following his explosion as an offensive player in the 2011-12 season, was

traded to the Vees. He bagged 27 points in 28 games during the Vees run as BCHL, Doyle Cup (Western Canada) and RBC Cup (national) champions.

The Grizz host the Powell River Kings for the final preseason game, 1 p.m. Sunday (Sept. 2) at Bear Mountain Arena, and start the season at the inaugural BCHL showcase in Chilliwack, Sept. 7 and 8. sports@vicnews.com

GOLDSTREAM NEWS GAZETTE - Friday, August 31, 2012

Black Press is proud to be an official sponsor for the 2012 Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock, with news reporter Kyle Slavin on the 18-member tour team as a media rider. To follow Kyle Slavin’s Twitter updates from the final weeks of training and throughout the ride, follow @TDRKyle.

ON TOUR: This year’s Tour de Rock begins in Port Alice on Sunday, Sept. 23 and ends Friday, Oct. 5 in Victoria.

Tour de Rock raises funds and awareness for pediatric cancer research and programs.

HELP OUT: Donations can be made at www. copsforcancer.ca FIND OUT: To catch up on all the Tour de Rock news, photos and videos, go online to:

H

elping others and giving back to the community is second nature to Kathryn Goodyear.

The 50-year-old West Shore resident, and former member of the Sidney North Saanich RCMP detachment, was a police officer for more than 30 years.

After spending most of her career in Alberta, including two years in Nunavut, Goodyear retired from the RCMP in June 2011. However, she continues to work as a reserve police officer at Victoria International Airport.

“I still wanted to be able to give back to the community,” she said.

Her willingness to help others is why Goodyear is riding the length of Vancouver Island, raising funds for pediatric cancer research as she represents the local RCMP detachment in this year’s Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock.

“That’s basically what policing is, working with and working for the community.”

While Goodyear has not personally been affected by cancer, a close friend dealt with the disease.

In 2005, her friend’s son was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a type of cancer that causes the bone marrow to produce excess white blood cells.

A year after recovering, in 2008, the young boy relapsed and required a bone marrow transplant.

The boy’s brother stepped up. Today, the

Members of the public can visit the display, learn more about Goodyear, the Tour de Rock – and donate. young man has been cancer-free for seven years.

Seeing the support available to her friend, who was a single mother, inspired Goodyear.

“The fight itself with cancer is hard enough without having to worry about your employment and your mortgage and all the other stuff that goes with it,” she said.

The Tour would be nothing without the support of the Island communities making an effort to raise funds for kids with cancer, she added.

“Everybody buys into the fact that these kids need this help.”

Goodyear recalls a trip to Camp

Goodtimes with her Tour team in mid-July.

The only thing different about the summer camp for kids who have or had cancer is that there’s an oncologist on site, she said.

“The kids were laughing and screaming,” she said. “If this money can put that kind of smile on their face, and (allow them to) forget about (their cancer) …” Goodyear paused, unable to find the words to continue.

Gearing up for the Tour de Rock, which starts Sept. 23 in Port Alice, Goodyear said she looks forward to getting caught up in the spirit of fundraising and supporting the families she meets along the ride.
