Horgan throws hat in ring for B.C. NDP leadership Juan de Fuca MLA changes mind, decides to take another run at winning provincial party’s top job Kyle Wells News staff
MLA John Horgan is crediting his constituents for changing his mind and convincing him to seek leadership of the provincial NDP party. His announcement, made Monday in his Juan de Fuca constituency, is an about-turn from the MLA’s Oct. 2013 decision not to run. He said at the time he wanted to “get out of the way of our younger members.” “I’ve been approached consistently, almost daily, to reconsider my decision,” Horgan told the Gazette before his announcement. “I’m seeing a broad consensus emerging that what we need is strong leadership to take on the Liberals in 2017, and I believe, and many, many others believe, that I fit that bill.” His intention to set the stage for younger politicians has not

The BC Government is proposing to offload the province’s world-class recycling programs, run by local municipalities, to an association led by big multi-national corporations. The idea is that we’ll get a better, more efficient program that costs taxpayers less.
Currently, BC homeowners only pay, on average, $35 a year for curbside recycling. Under the proposed regime, you’ll pay more. Every time you bring home a pizza, buy toilet paper,
Unfortunately, what we’ll really end up with is anyone’s guess.
How much more? Well, nobody’s saying.
The association isn’t guaranteeing that we’ll get a better program, or even one as good as the current Blue Box program already in place. Since the association is led by big businesses outside of BC, many of whom are not even headquartered in Canada, one could presume that profits will come before environmental stewardship. They usually do. They also won’t guarantee that there won’t be any job cuts here in BC.
Here’s the only thing anyone does know: we already have a Blue Box program that works, is efficient, managed locally and puts the BC environment first. So why is the BC government flipping a coin, bringing in a questionable recycling program that some of our local elected officials are already calling a “scam?”
And how is this supposed to make things better for BC?
or pretty much anything else that comes in a package, businesses will be passing their increased costs on to you.
It’s time to contact Premier Clark and ask her.
What’s going on here?

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF
Organic farming workshops set Belmont secondary teachers Paul Bendall, left, and John Froess are heading to the United States this summer to teach other educators the ways of Advancement Via Individual Determination, a program designed to help more students qualify for college and university. Kyle Wells/News staff
Teachers teaching teachers Belmont pair take their enthusiasm for unique post-secondary prep program to the U.S. Two Belmont secondary educators are heading south this summer to teach teachers how to help students better prepare for post-secondary studies. John Froess and Paul Bendall have been involved with the Advancement Via Individual Determination education system since 2008 and will Kyle Wells teach the program Reporting to other educators in California. The program targets middle-of-the-pack students who are not struggling to pass, but may need help reaching a level that increases their chances of being accepted into university or college programs. “These (are students) who have the skills, have the ability, they just need the extra structure, force and push to get them out there,” Froess said. “That’s
the whole premise, building successful paths for these kids to get them ready for university or college.” “We take students who have college desire, college dreams, college potential, but lack the organizational skills, the writing skills,” Bendall added. The program was developed in San Diego in 1980 and has expanded worldwide, with programs across the U.S., in Canada and Australia. In British Columbia there are 10 districts and 17 schools involved, including Belmont. The specific AVID class Bendall teaches is an elective and focuses on such skills as note taking, time management and materials organization. It also emphasizes critical reading and analytical writing. Froess, an English teacher, is among those who apply AVID techniques to the regular classroom, using teambuilding strategies or teaching organization to help all students,
regardless of their level. About one-third of Belmont’s teachers have received AVID training. Sooke School District has offered the program since 2005, with Dunsmuir and Spencer middle schools are also now on board. Froess and Bendall started teaching the material in 2006 and two years later began instructing other teachers in AVID. Today they are two of only three Canadian educators who do the annual instructional sessions down south. “They like us. They think we talk funny, but they like us,” Froess said of their American counterparts. The two teachers see the results of the program in their own students, who find confidence and the skills they need to succeed. Many have gone on to post-secondary education, and those who complete the course achieve provincial exam marks two or three per cent higher than the school average.
Part of the success comes from the support network the program builds. Students who stick with the AVID classes stay together at least three years – longer if they started in middle school – and many find a sense of belonging. “We build a peer group. They don’t come to it that way, but we build it,” Bendall said. “A family environment, that’s the one I get the most feedback on. They are comfortable, they’re not afraid to take risks, they’re not afraid to try new things.” The results are also rewarding for the instructors, who see change in the students as they work their way through the program. As well, they enjoy meeting other teachers with a similar approach to education. “I absolutely love being in a place where we are all rowing in the same direction for kids,” Bendall said. “We’re all together and we all have the best interests of our kids at heart.” kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

weak to withstand the radiation needed for the transplant. Family friend Kim Roost said a recent bone marrow biopsy revealed Hannah’s cancer is still prevalent. The transplant from her mother is a risky procedure; a tough choice for a family running out of options. The hope is that Hannah’s body will remember how to connect with her mother’s from the time of pregnancy and will accept the transplant. “With a (transplant), ideally you’re not supposed to have cancer in your system,” Roost said. Meanwhile, a dance at the Langford Legion this Saturday (March 22) will raise money for the Hannah Day Trust Account. Hannah’s parents have taken time off work and are renting accommodation in Vancouver to be with her. The dance, organized by motorcycle club Solo Independent Riders, features local band Monkey Wrench, a 50/50 draw and a silent auction. “The little girl is not doing too good, so we have made Hannah an honorary family member of SIR,” said club president Kim DuPont. “We just wanted to help out.

View Royal hopes to match volunteers with jobs Kyle Wells News staff
Getting something done is often a matter of finding the right person for the right job. Along those lines, the Town of View Royal wants to establish an organizing body to guide the selfless efforts of View Royal volunteers. Tentatively named Volunteer View Royal, the group is intended to encourage community engagement and help get more projects off the ground. Councillors Ron Mattson and David Screech are in the process of forming a committee to design the program and get the ball rolling. “There are a lot of things we
want to do. Some of them we haven’t been doing because of the cost,” Mattson said. Many jobs are quick fixes, including scheduling work parties for parks or beach cleanups, or such natural restoration work as removing invasive species and maintaining trails. Mattson envisions the committee working with the town to identify other volunteer opportunities – with the town, local organizations or individuals – then connecting willing workers to those jobs. “People want to volunteer; they’re looking for things to do. They’re not looking for permanent, long-term commitments, but they like to have activities

OUR VIEW
CRA cuts make tax time worse It’s tax time again, a point on the calendar that most Canadians dread. Pulling together our receipts, filling out forms and paying for help are not activities we usually embrace. While the Canada Revenue Agency is probably not on everyone’s Favourite Government Agencies list, the CRA has been able to help out taxpayers by supplying tax forms, advice and one-on-one help for those of us who can’t afford professional help or just find filling out paperwork a challenge. This role, like many other federal government programs, has been sharply curtailed in recent years as the feds continue to download responsibilities to the provinces, cities and non-profit groups. They have cut back on the availability of paper forms, pushing the citizenry to online tax filing. This particular trend has hit a couple of groups harder than others: seniors, lower income individuals and those with disabilities. These groups, for obvious reasons, may have a harder time dealing with online forms, understanding advice delivered via the phone or finding the extra funds to pay for an accountant’s help. It’s exceptionally curious in the case of seniors, a demographic that has traditionally been supportive of the current Conservative government. This is a group that has not grown up with computers, is less likely to own one and faces diminished financial resources and health issues that can complicate communication that is not face-to-face. Luckily, volunteer groups have stepped up to fill the governments’ responsibilities. Several local non-profits, such as the Together Against Poverty Society, James Bay New Horizons, Silver Threads and the Victoria Cool Aid Society, offer tax preparation clinics and advice. Kudos to these organizations for their efforts, but the need for them highlights a troubling trend. The feds continue to turn their back on some of our most vulnerable citizens and in an area that we are forced, by law, to deal with. Unlike the federal government, Canadian citizens can’t walk away from our tax responsibilities. What do you think? Give us your comments by email: editor@goldstreamgazette.com or fax 250-478-6545.

As Greenpeace, Sierra and ForestEthics were negotiating the 2007 Great Bear land use plan, other network members were preparing to “raise the negatives” and market Alberta as a unique threat to planetary integrity.

Services amalgamation request a serious matter Re: Non-binding View Royal referendum on service integration It is a mark of civic maturity and confidence that Councillors John Rogers, Ron Mattson and Heidi Rast have properly understood the request to have a non-binding referendum question on the ballot this fall. A ‘yes’ or ‘no’ response from residents would provide policy direction only to the municipality. It’s an effective tool for local government to determine the depth of support for integrating services with other municipalities, and serves as a basis upon which the province will fund unbiased studies to determine the feasibility, benefits and costs. Ultimately, any changes to municipal organizations would require a binding referendum in 2018 or beyond. To date, the cities of Victoria and Colwood have committed to placing a question on the ballot. Others will no doubt follow. It is most appropriate that council members discuss this issue in an open and
transparent manner. While Mayor Graham Hill has the right to his opinion, his approach to the request at the March 11 committee meeting was paternalistic, and in some instances, cavalier. This was a disappointment to audience members and those who addressed council in a thoughtful and articulate manner. Both online and paper petitions supporting a non-binding referendum are currently underway in Greater Victoria and have received thousands of signatures. It should come as no surprise that to date the highest percentage of eligible voters who voted in 2011 and signed the petition are from View Royal. By placing a non-binding referendum question on the ballot, the democratic rights of residents are affirmed and they are able to exercise their electoral franchise. The mayor and council are servants of the people of the View Royal community, and as such, future deliberations must be conducted in a respectful manner, with
community interests placed above self-interest. Lesley Ewing Oak Bay
TB Reach program fine aid example One of Canada’s finest foreign assistance achievements is TB Reach, a grassroots health organization dedicated to help tuberculosis sufferers missed by other programs: those who are physically isolated and difficult to treat. There are an estimated three million of these people worldwide, with each untreated sufferer eventually infecting up to 10 other people. Canada is the only major funder of TB Reach. Our federal government already does great work fighting this ancient scourge through the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria, but TB Reach is Canada’s own gift to the world. Currently, TB Reach is short about $200 million, spread over five years. I sincerely hope that on March 24, World TB Day, Canada
pledges to complete funding of TB Reach and help save the lives of those last three million. Nathaniel Poole Victoria

Tips for pet eyecare
Like humans, our pets are also prone to common eye problems such as glaucoma, cataracts, and corneal ulcers or lacerations (most often resulting from scratches). For instance, most dogs suffer from farsightedness or astigmatism, but since they normally just fetch, and do not read newspapers, we rarely hear them complain. Proper eye health care is just as important for animals as it is for humans. Here are some tips for keeping your pet’s eyes in top form: keep your pet from sticking its head outside car windows; flying debris and dust particles can cause eye injury or irritation. Regularly check for persistent eye discharge or inflammation. If your pet displays these symptoms, or demonstrates peculiar behavior such as trying to rub its eyes, or bumping into objects, you should have your pet’s eyes checked by a veterinarian. Two legged pets that talk still need to see the Optometrist!

CRD sewage sludge pipeline route unveiled
www.vicnews.com • A19 www.vicnews.com • A19
The Capital Regional District’s Seaterra program unveiled its 18-kilometre route for a sewage sludge pipeline between the two major proposed sewage plants. The conveyance pipeline would run from a wastewater treatment
plant at McLoughlin Point through Esquimalt, Victoria and parts of Saanich to a biosolids plant at Hartland landfill. Interurban Road would be the most affected roadway during construction. The pipeline route, which
requires the installation of 18 km of underground pipes in both directions, would run entirely within existing right-of-ways for the three municipalities, according to a Seaterra press release. An Environmental Impact Study
for the conveyance pipe will be completed in the coming months, the release stated. Upcoming information sessions for nearby neighbours are being organized and will be announced in the coming weeks. editor@goldstreamgazette.com
