Metchosin farmer Dieter Eisenhawer is surprised to find that slugs have gotten into his organically grown strawberries. Eisenhawer has been growing organic produce for more than 20 years and is pleased that Metchosin has banned the growing of all genetically modified organisms.

Charla HuberNews staff

Metchosin is spearheading a plan for Island and coastal communities to be free of genetically engineered organ-isms (GMOs).

The district banned the growing or selling of GMOs in November and this month prepared a similar motion to be brought to the Association of Vancou-ver Island and Coastal Communities meeting in April. The annual AVICC convention will be held in Sooke this year.

“I think there is too much uncer-tainty (around) GMOs and what they do to the environment,” said Metcho-

sin Coun. Moralea Milne.“All of this takes a lot of time to find

out. Think about how long it took for people to realize cigarettes were bad for us and caused cancer.”

Some key concerns Milne listed include the proliferation of “super-weeds,” increased use of pesticides and the transfer of pollen from GMO plants to those that aren’t. A certified organic farmer could lose status if their crops are tainted by GMO plants, she said.

“Vancouver Island and coastal com-munities are isolated from the rest of B.C.,” Milne said. Given the environ-ment and wind patterns on the coast, it is possible to be a genetically engi-

neered-free zone, she added.A related motion – from the Oka-

nagan-Similkameen regional district – passed at the Union of B.C. munici-palities last year regarding organic tree fruits.

“A number of countries won’t accept genetically engineered crops,” said Milne, addressing organic farm-ers’ concerns.

Last year Metchosin brought a motion to decriminalize marijuana to the AVICC convention. It passed, was forwarded to the Union of B.C. Munici-palities’ convention and passed there as well. Milne hopes to see this motion have the same success.

Everything, including the kitchen sinkSaanich family donates house to charity groups in attempt to reuse and recycle every scrap

Edward HillNews staff

The sun was out last Saturday when a small army of volunteers swarmed through Rishi Sharma’s Saanich house, and stripped it to the bone.

Door frames, cabinets, wood trim, cupboards, appli-ances, doors and lights fixtures – everything includ-ing the kitchen sink went into a Habitat for Humanity truck.

It’s the first time the Victoria arm of the charity organized the wholesale deconstruction of a house, and it will be a test case for the future. For Sharma, a 37-year-old provinical government employee who has subdivided his Mount Douglas Cross Road lot, this is the first step in his attempt to reuse and recycle his entire home.

“I knew I’d have to deconstruct this house. I thought I’d do one better and instead of just recycling, I wanted to donate the entire house for reuse,” Sharma said. “It was a vision I had that really no one has done before. It was a vision that became a mission.”

The dozen volunteers, most military members from CFB Esquimalt, spent Saturday crow-baring and unscrewing every removable piece of the house that could be sold at Habitat’s ReStore store in Langford.

In turn, that money will flow into the pool of funds Habitat uses to build affordable homes across Greater Victoria, 18 to date, and another four slated in Saanich for 2014.

Yolanda Meijer, the executive director for Habitat for Humanity in Victoria, said it’s unusual, but not unheard ofm for people to offer entire homes, although this was their largest salvage operation to date.

It wasn’t easy, but the City of Colwood has decided how its residents will pay their share of the Capital Regional District’s new sewage treat-ment plant.

After public consultations and lengthy dis-cussions, council voted to have current sewer users pay maintenance costs and for the capac-

ity needed right now. Capacity that is being pur-chased for future sewer users in Colwood will be paid for by all residents.

Like other growing communities, Colwood will need to reserve capacity in the new plant beyond what it currently needs.

How the community should pay for future capac-ity has been a topic of debate.

Acting Colwood administrator Michael Baxter said while it was impossible to please everyone, council’s decision attempts to strike a balance.

“There’s no absolute right or wrong here,” he said. “User pay is always the best system for mak-ing people responsible (for) what they use. But who pays for the future is a really hard question, isn’t it? There are arguments to be made about why it benefits everybody to have future capac-ity.”

The decision addresses all sewer treatment from now on, Baxter said, whether it’s provided by the CRD, the city or a private company. The city will be revis-iting just how much capacity it wants to buy into the regional treatment facility. Originally the city requested an amount based on population, but the CRD requires a request based on volume.

Baxter said he will be providing council options for the amount of volume to request, including an option to opt out of the regional treatment facil-ity entirely and rely on privately provided sewage treatment, such as that proposed by the Capital City Centre development.

“That decision doesn’t (refer to) how we’re going to provide sewage treatment. It’s just a deci-sion about how we will pay for it.”

While there has been both public and political outcry against the CRD’s plans for a sewage treat-ment plant, the project is forging ahead, with the province recently winning a debate over who will control the project.

It was recently determined that outside experts will oversee the project, not the region’s politi-cians.

With the sewage project still in the early stages, Baxter said, it’s hard to provide exact figures on how much current sewer users and non-sewer users will pay. He did say that non-sewer users will likely pay between 10 and 15 per cent of what sewer users will pay.

It was a good exercise for the organization, as volunteers could remove cupboards and appliances and not have to worry about damaging walls and floors. Meijer plans to track the sale of each item to see how much money a single house can generate, and how much material is diverted from the landfill.

“Every house decon-struction has recycling. We are pushing reuse,” Meijer said. “If you take out your kitchen intact, someone will buy it from us.

“Many people think about recycling. I want them to think about reusing. It doesn’t go into the landfill, and you get a tax receipt.”

Sharma plans to have the house recycled down to the foundation. Habitat for Humanity doesn’t have the capacity to strip out dry-wall, flooring and plywood, but volunteers from OUR

Ecovillage, a 25-acre sus-tainable living demonstra-tion site in Shawnigan Lake, plans to disassemble the remain-der of the house to almost nothing.

Ecovillage executive director Brandy Gallagher said her group often takes what Habitat can’t to ben-efit their own project and as a means to divert waste from the traditional waste stream.

Gallagher said better financial incentives and systems need to be in place to allow homeowners and developers easier ways to recycle old buildings. As it stands now, allowing non-profits to salvage houses isn’t an efficient use of time for builders.

“The deconstruction field is up against time and money. It does take time to pull nails,” Gallagher said. “There is no credit for doing ethical things.”

Meijer agreed: “Hom-eowners have to realize this is not a cost saving

exercise. It’s a shift in mind-set about what happens to things we don’t want or need.”

At Sharma’s house, it doesn’t take long for volun-teers to pack the Habitat cube truck with all the fix-

tures that define a home. Most participate out of a sense of duty to engage in community

service, and they also sup-port the underlying mission of Habitat.

“It’s a good organization, a good charity and you don’t have to be experi-enced to help,” leading seaman Malisa Ogunniya, 25, said while yanking nails from wood trim.

Sharma likes the idea that his old cupboards and fixtures will eventually help build affordable housing in the region. To him, it was important enough that he refused to give the appli-ances to his father, Surinder Sharma, the president Vic-toria Hindu Temple.

“I wanted (Rishi) to give the stove and fridge for the temple. But he said ‘No, this is a better cause,’” laughed the senior Sharma, who was lending a hand with the deconstruction.

“I think Rishi is doing the right thing. It’s nice to see this all going to use instead of going into the garbage. Somebody will use it.”

As a medical missionary in China, she touched the lives of thousands.

Victoria Chung – named for her hometown – was honoured in that country as a national hero of culture. And yet her accomplishments overseas may not have been recounted on this side of the Pacific, had a single news clipping from 1929 not caught the attention of historian John Price.

“It announced the upcoming visit of Victoria Chung to Peterborough, where she was going to be talking about China,” said Price, an associate professor of history at the University of Victoria.

In the Toronto Star article, Chung dismissed questions from the reporter about her experiences. But it was enough to spark Price’s interest.

For the past four years, he and fellow researcher Ningping Yu have scoured records and recollections of Chung, both in Canada and China, trying to reconstruct her life.

“I began from scratch – where she had gone, where she had worked. We made contact with the hospital in Jiangmen in the process of recovering her memory,” Price said.

To date, he’s established a solid account of her education and career. His bigger challenge is painting a picture of her personality and personal life.

Born Toy Mea Cheung in 1897, Victoria was the daughter of one of few Chinese women from that era who ventured to the B.C. capital.

After graduating from Vic High, Cheung received a medical scholarship and studied in Toronto, as she was barred from doing so in B.C.

In 1923, she departed for South

China to work at the Marion Barclay hospital in Jiangmen and was soon joined by her mother, who grew up nearby. Over the years, Chung furthered her training in New York and London.

Unlike most of her missionary colleagues, who abandoned their posts during the Second

World War and later the Korean War, Chung stayed. She set up community clinics and returned to the hospital after the conflict as its director.

Despite earning a modest missionary salary, she paid back her scholarship and helped fund the hospital in times of need.

When she died in 1966, “thousands lined the route of her funeral in China and 3,000 flower wreaths adorned her casket,” according to research by Price and Yu.

In wasn’t long, however, before her contributions were suppressed from the public record. Her papers were destroyed and her family lived in fear.

“Right after she died, the cultural revolution began,” said Price. “Because she was an overseas Chinese, she was suspected of being a spy (and) represented foreign imperialism.”

On this side of the Pacific, Chung’s story also fell through the cracks.

“After 1949, the Canadian government refused to recognize the People’s Republic of China. Travel to China was very difficult. The family stories were easily lost,” Price said.

Robbery suspect soughtTwo businesses broken into in Langford Centre

West Shore RCMP are asking for the public’s help tracking down a suspect in two business break-ins that happened Dec. 15 in Langford.

Andrew Paul Vandel is being sought in connection with thefts from two shops in the Langford Centre mall on Goldstream Ave-nue.

A small amount of cash was stolen from each business.

Police say evidence at the

scene connects Vandel to the crimes and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.

Vandel is described as a Caucasian male, six feet tall and 165 pounds, with brown hair and eyes. Vandel has also been known to use the names Andrew Vandel, Andrew Leddy and Steve Downs.

RCMP advise that anyone who knows the location of Vandel not approach him, but instead call 911 with the details. Anyone with information that could lead to his whereabouts is asked to call West Shore RCMP at 250-474-2264.

Cats and dog saved from house fireCharla HuberNews staff

Eight cats and one dog were rescued from a Langford house fire on Saturday evening.

The fire broke out in the kitchen of a basement suite in the home, in the 1000-block of Shaw Ave. near Florence Lake. The tenant had been cooking and tried to contain the fire with an extinguisher, while another person onsite called 911.

They escaped the suite unharmed, and upon the fire crew’s arrival, told them about the animals on the main floor.

“Cats are like us when they are scared, they hide,” said Langford firefighter Lt. Glenn Cooper.

Firefighters made four trips into the home to save the nine animals. The homeowner, who breeds cats, is in California and hadn’t been reached by the Gazette deadline.

The fire was contained to the basement suite and most of the damage was in the kitchen. The upper level of the home sustained some smoke damage.

Firefighters were back in the house Sunday checking for any additional animals, but believe all were recovered.

A veterinarian was called on the night of the fire and deemed all the animals healthy.

Langford Fire Rescue reminds pet owners to have a sticker on their door noting that animals live in the home, in case of fire. These stickers can be purchased at various pet stores.

Things are looking up for Roger Traviss.The former longtime technical director at the Isabelle

Reader Theatre in Langford has signed a six-show contract with Ballet Victoria as lighting director.

“It’s great. It’s a great company and I enjoy it,” said Tra-viss, currently working on a production of The Gift of Pan-dora’s Box.

It’s been six months since he was laid off from his post of 24 years and he still thinks about his time at the community theatre. “I miss working with the students. They are a great bunch of kids.”

Traviss, now 65, was a fixture at Isabelle Reader, oversee-ing the lights and sound system anytime a community or school group was using the theatre.

When news broke that he was leaving his position with the Sooke School District, Traviss received a flood of com-munity support, both in person and online.

“I’ve been really touched by (the appreciation),” he said.While his unexpected departure from the school district

is still a sore spot, Traviss said he’s happy with his new position, which involves touring with Ballet Victoria.

He is keeping busy otherwise, helped by his membership in a stage union.

He has worked on shows at various venues on the South Island, including as a follow spotlight operator for the Rock

the Shores music festival at West Shore Parks and Recre-ation last July.

“Things have been really busy,” Traviss said. “You learn something new every day of your life. At least you should be.”

Faster response times expectedCharla HuberNews staff

In case of emergen-cies, traffic control will now arrive on scene in Langford sooner.

Saanich Peninsula Rentals, now under the umbrella of the Main-road Group in Surrey, has been re-branded as SPR Traffic Services and moved its offices from Sidney to Lang-ford.

“We can now get up the Malahat with a quicker response time,” said Darren Ell, SPR general manager.

Langford provides a more central loca-tion for emergency responses around the West Shore and areas around Victoria, he added.

The company pro-vided traffic control serves after recent rock slides on the Malahat Drive, as well as car crashes in the area.

“We used to rent out small tools, but now we are just going to focus on traffic control,” Ell said.

Attempted Robbery and Stabbing

HELP SOLVE

At approximately 8:15 p.m. on Dec. 29, 2012, seven young men were socializing in a large shed in the 3900-block of Ayton Place in Langford.

Two suspects wearing balaclavas and armed with an imitation pistol, knife and bear spray burst into the garage and demanded money and cellphones from the males.

The suspects struck at least one of the victims on the head with a pistol, and punched and kicked several others. The victims fought back and during the melee several victims were bear sprayed.

While being chased off the property, a suspect stabbed one of the victims in the armpit area.

One suspect was described as a white teenaged male, 5’11” to 6’1” tall, heavy set and wearing loose, dark clothing.

The second male was described as a white teenaged male, 5’10” tall, slender and wearing dark clothing.

Two of the victims were transported to Victoria General Hospital for treatment.

After raising $5.5 million, the United Way of Greater Victoria is hoping the public can rally one last time to help reach the charity’s fundraising goal.

The annual campaign is still looking to raise another $445,000 for various non-profit organizations that support vulnerable people in the Capital Region. Shelters, mental health workers and people with disabilities all depend on the funding each year.

“The organizations that we fund depend on us to keep their programs and services moving forward to address the root causes of social issues in our region,” said Linda Hughes, CEO of United Way.

Travellers looking to get to the Olympic Peninsula will need to take a detour for the next few weeks.

From Jan. 20 to Feb. 7, the M.V. Coho, which runs daily between Victoria’s Inner Harbour and Port Angeles, Wash., will be tak-ing its annual maintenance and refurbishment break.

“We’ve maintained (the Coho) impeccably and put new engines in there in 2004,” said Ryan Bur-les, president of Black Ball Ferry Line. “As long as we keep at it, she’s got many years ahead of her.”

The routine maintenance will be done at the Dakota Creek dry-dock in Anacortes, Wash.

The last sailings prior to the break will be Sunday (Jan. 20) at 8:20 a.m. from Port Angeles, and at 10:30 a.m. from Victoria.

As the only privately owned

ferry connecting the Island to Washington State, the Coho carries 400,000 passengers and 120,000 vehicles annually.

OUR VIEW

Transit battle needs tough talk

Despite efforts to negotiate a new contract without disrupting transit service, members of the Canadian Auto Workers are taking off their gloves Jan. 22 and walking off the job.

Fortunately for Greater Victoria commuters, the one-day strike action is just that – one day.

However, that day will see hundreds of extra cars, bikes and pedestrians on the roads. Gridlock won’t begin to describe the traffic chaos we may be part of.

Transit workers’ job action has been moderate so far with little visible interruption, but this strike will clearly affect everyone in the region.

Longer strikes more than 10 years ago seriously impacted seniors, students and those with low incomes who regularly rely on transit.

A 1984 strike lasted three months, crippled Victoria’s economy, and, like mullets and parachute pants, none of us wants to see that again.

The two sides clearly aren’t motivated to reach an agreement. In fact, they don’t even agree on what the main stumbling blocks are in the dispute – the union insists it’s all about the small buses and the lower-paid drivers, B.C. Transit says there are other issues at play, including wages and benefits.

The two sides have dug in their heels and the public is suffering, moderately so far, with only certain runs cancelled. But with the Tuesday all-day strike planned, it shows that an outside authority needs to step in and get it done.

It’s amazing what sides in a dispute will do when the crisis hits. Just look at the NHL. They got a deal done when the season was on the brink of being cancelled.

The best solution for everyone is for the two sides to get back to the bargaining table and realize that compromise is the only solution.

The union has to be realistic and unafraid of new technology, and management must assure workers that it’s not out to crush the union.

After a deep breath, Korean air filled my lungs for the first time.

Emotion flooded my eyes and and confusion swelled my heart as I timidly made my way off the plane and onto the tarmac below. Treading into unknown territory, I set foot on Korean soil for the first time and somehow it felt like home.

I don’t know how or why I felt the way I did. A year later, I still don’t, it caught even me off guard. Excitement about my inaugural voyage to the birthplace of my parents, was replaced by foggy insecurity about who I was.

Born to South Korean parents, but raised entirely in Canada, I consider myself Korean Canadian. At least that is how I explain it to everyone, including myself. Yet I wondered how Canadian I was to be feeling the way I did, about a country I had never even visited.

Engulfed in the bustle of a terrifically busy Incheon Airport, I stepped out to see another first, a sea of Koreans in every direction. Everywhere I turned, people who looked like I do, didn’t bother to look back at me. On the outside I was a member of the majority – on the inside I wasn’t so sure.

As I waited for luggage items to push the black, plastic curtains aside and make the meandering

loop around the baggage carousel, I found myself making a mental checklist of how I became whoever I was now.

My first language was Korean. My parents had immigrated to Canada only a few years before I was born, so my early years were spent without English. I ate mostly Korean food and lived a Korean lifestyle, albeit in a Canadian neighbourhood.

Like most children, our family home was the entire world, for all I knew.

That changed completely when I started public school and most everyone I interacted with were of non-Korean descent. In fact, few of my close friends were even Asian. I remember being ashamed of my school lunches because they looked and smelled different than everyone else’s. I tried to eat more western food, just because that was what everyone else ate.

As college and early adulthood crept up on me, I found myself looking fondly upon my heritage and I recall being thankful I could speak a second language.

I still am, and today’s comfort food is as much kimchee and rice

as it is turkey and mashed potatoes. Listen in to a dinner party at my

parents’ place today, and sounds of a Korean-English hybrid fill the air, probably understandable only to those within our home’s four walls. When we argue, we default back to our strongest language. For my parents, Korean, for me, English.

They still don’t even say Korea by name, still referring to it as “back home,” as if it is across the street, or a short drive up the road from our home in Victoria, even though it is halfway across the world.

For them, maybe it is more black and white, but for me it is anything but. Someone once asked: ‘If South Korea and Canada were at war, and I was forced to fight for one side, who I would fight for?’ I had no answer then – 20 years later I still don’t.

After grabbing my luggage off the carousel, I fished around in my jacket for my passport to show it to the security guard, who speaks to me in Korean.

My passport says Canadian and in many ways so does my heart. There are just a lot of extra Korean stamps all over both.

Maybe that is what makes me Canadian, because I wouldn’t have it any other way.

OPINION

A legislative committee has determined that the time has come to replace B.C.’s current auditor general.

John Doyle, with considerable credentials, accepted the position in 2007. He is to be commended on doing an exceptionally fine job as the watchdog for the people of British Columbia.

As auditor general, one of Mr. Doyle’s mandates was to investigate and ensure that any misdeeds, questionable hidden agendas and scandals of the governing party were brought to the attention of the citizens of British Columbia.

He has succeeded in this function by exposing the present government’s secrecy in the Basi-Virk political corruption case, the highly controversial use of deferral accounts for B.C. Hydro and mismanagement of financial accountability.

So, why was Mr. Doyle’s contract not extended for a second term?

Obviously, the Liberals on the legislative committee, who made this childish, vindictive and self-serving decision, have the majority vote and decided that Mr. Doyle was uncovering and exposing too many political hot buttons that the Liberals had hoped the public would forget.

This decision not to renew Mr. Doyle’s mandate is a travesty of justice and should be reassessed. The public deserves the real reason for Mr. Doyle’s rejection for a second term.

Some advice to the present governing party: If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!

Martin L. BattleVictoria

Ole Heggen’s cartoon insightful

I know why I always look forward to O. J. Heggen’s cartoons – he is so insightful!

“John Doyle likely on the way out” (Jan. 11) says it all. The

B.C. Liberals – led by Premier Christy Clark – want a lap dog not a watchdog of taxpayer’s money. No wonder his cartoon character says, “We thought it was time for a change!!”

What sin – exactly – did Auditor General Doyle commit?

Was it revealing the financial contributions Timberwest made to the Liberals before the land deal? Or raising alarm bells over the use of massive deferral accounts at B.C. Hydro? Maybe exposing serious issues of financial accountability of the legislature itself?

Surely there is a benefit to having continuity in the auditor general’s role of attempting to have open and accountable government – something the premier promised during the Liberal leadership race.

Booze laws encourage drinking

I am always amazed how people can rally for any cause, regardless whether it is worthwhile or not, but don’t seem too concerned about drunk drivers.

Why are British Columbians

drinking more? The answer is easy. The

provincial government has made it so easy to drink whenever and wherever you want.

How many provinces allow booze to be served in pubs until 4 a.m., at sporting events, movie theatres or BYOB to a restaurant?

Drinking laws need to be even tougher.

This very “Liberal” government is more interested in the bucks the booze makes for them. It appears people’s lives don’t count.

Change is needed now.Eileen Nattrass

CPP, EI and medicalare benefits - not taxes

For the second year in a row, the B.C. Taxpayers Federation is spreading misinformation about payroll tax and MSP premiums.

MSP premiums are not a tax they are a user fee.

Depending on your net income, you can have all or part of your MSP premiums subsidized.

The provincial government has nothing to do with CPP or EI premiums and only those who earn more than $50,000 a year pay the maximum CPP contributions.

You do not pay CPP premiums on the first $3,500 you earn each year, and you do not pay CPP when you are under 18 and over 70.

The more you contribute to your CPP, the more you get back later in life.

As for EI, hopefully you get some back in lean times.

There was no EI or CPP during the Depression. In fact, their was no income tax until midway through the First World War.

Employment Insurance, then called Unemployment Insurance, commenced in 1941 as a result of the Great Depression of the 1930s.

Craigflower bridge rebuild starts with walkwayCrossing to be closed to vehicles for seven months

Kyle SlavinNews staff

Construction on the Craigflower Bridge, linking Saanich to View Royal and Esquimalt, will begin earlier than expected, as crews are

slated to begin work on a pedes-trian walkway in April.

The 80-year-old, timber-beam span will be replaced by a three-lane steel bridge, double the width of the existing bridge. Construc-tion was originally set for June, but that work will now start in the spring.

While Admirals Road will be closed for seven months, Saan-ich and View Royal, which share responsibility of the bridge,

needed to find a way to get pedes-trians across the Gorge Waterway.

Jim Hemstock, Saanich’s man-ager of capital works, says included in the tender are plans for a temporary walkway over the Gorge Waterway.

“We have to do the pedestrian bridge first. Now that we’re clos-ing the road during a school year, we’ve got to get that pedestrian bridge up (before the old bridge comes down). We could start on

the pedestrian bridge in April,” he said.

The construction tender will be released later this month, and the municipalities aim to have a con-tract awarded by late February.

The cost of the project is now estimated at $11.9 million, up from the original price tag of $10.775 million.

Hemstock says the project has received an additional $775,000 grant from the Capital Regional

District, on top of a previously approved $10 million injection.

Saanich and View Royal will split the outstanding $1.125 mil-lion cost, with Saanich footing 60 per cent, about $675,000. That’s $200,000 more than Saanich origi-nally estimated.

Hemstock reiterated the num-bers are just estimates right now, and nothing will be concrete until the contract is awarded.

Letters are going out to more than 38,000 people in B.C. whose personal data was copied onto a data stick and shared without permission last year.

Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid announced details of a data breach that led the ministry to fire seven health ministry staff and contractors involved in patient research related to approval of drugs for B.C.’s Pharmacare program.

View Royal Coun. Ron Mattson, who is suing the province for wrongful dismissal and defamation of character, was one of the staffers let go.

MacDiarmid said there were no names attached to the health data, which included personal health numbers, gender, date of birth and postal codes, as well as information from Statistics Canada’s Cana-dian community health survey.

The data did include hospital admissions and dis-charges, medication history and Medical Services Plan claims.

The Statistics Canada survey included informa-tion about patient health status, mental, physical and sexual health, lifestyle information and use of health services.

Three separate breaches of ministry privacy policy have been identified so far. None included names, social insurance numbers or financial infor-mation, and no evidence has been found that the information was used for anything other than medi-cal research, MacDiarmid said.

An internal ministry and police investigation is ongoing, and the ministry would not disclose the identity of anyone involved.

MacDiarmid said there were two data breach inci-dents in June 2012.

The first one prompted the letters to be sent by the ministry.

The second was a data stick provided to a min-istry contractor containing similar information on five million individuals, including length of hospital stay and health condition, such as whether they have diabetes.

The third case of a data stick shared without per-mission, password protection or encryption took place in October, 2010.

It contained diagnostic information on 21,000 peo-ple for 262 chronic conditions, including prescrip-tion history for certain drugs.

Just over a month into a six-month pilot project at Our Place Society, it’s clear that weekend lunches are filling a need in the community.

Thanks to a nearly $50,000 grant from the Victoria Foundation, Our Place began opening on Saturday and Sunday at the beginning of December, providing much-needed lunches for Victoria’s homeless, poor and disabled.

“People are extremely grateful that we’re open on the weekend for lunches,” said Don Evans, executive director of Our Place. “It’s not addressing all the needs, but it certainly helps.”

The weekend program has seen between 200 to 250 people per day take advantage of the service so far.

“We expect it will continue to increase as people come to know about it,” Evans said. “Certainly, it’s showing a need for meals in the city.”

The society is actively looking for resources to expand and extend the pilot project, which is set to run until May.

“There’s a big gap when we close on weekends,” Evans said.

It’s a goal of the society to remain open on weekends and provide other meals in addition to lunch, he said. Recently, a $50,000 donation

from the McLean Foundation was made to the weekend lunch program.

On weekdays, the society sees about 800 people daily, serving between 1,200 and 1,500 meals.

November and December are crucial months for the fundraising that allows the society to meet its annual operating costs of approximately $3.2 million. Almost half of its revenue comes from donations made during these months, Evans said.

While the society is partly funded by the government, it largely relies on donations from the local community. In November, the society saw a decrease in donations of 25 to 30 per cent compared to 2011.

“Even though donations slow (during January and February), the need in the community doesn’t,” Evans said.

Donations can be made to Our Place Society by visiting ourplacesociety.com or by calling 250-388-7112.

The fight to saygoodnight The road to restful sleep is paved in controversy

NATALIE NORTH, NEWS STAFF

ISSUEBIGSleep deprivation is often

taken for granted among new parents, but unless healthy habits are formed early, local sleep consultants say those long sleepless nights can end up lasting a lifetime.

Debbi DePape was like

many new moms on maternity leave. She would nurse her baby Connor to sleep and check on him periodically throughout the night. But when it came time for DePape to return to her full-time job as a pharmaceutical representative, having a 13-month-old unable to sleep without his mom or nap unless packed in a stroller, meant household sleep levels plummeted and stress levels soared.

“I suffered for longer than I should have,” DePape said. “In hindsight, I didn’t realize it would take such a short amount of time

to have a turnaround.”DePape called Sukkie Sandhu,

a consultant with parental sleep counselling franchise Sleep Sense, who worked with the DePape family to form a sleep plan. DePape is among the growing number of parents in Greater Victoria who have sought the help of professionals to help guide the process which DePape admits she assumed would come naturally to her baby.

Almost immediately after meeting with Sandhu, a registered clinical counsellor, DePape said

her and her husband’s lives began to change dramatically. “It was like night and day. Within ve days Connor was sleeping

through the night without a peep. He was going down ne, napping great.”

Though DePape and Sandhu both pitch Sleep Sense as though it’s a miracle solution, it’s not without controversy, as it usually requires parents to tolerate some amount of crying from a child – however long or short

the parents decide they’re comfortable

with – in an effort to remove associations or

props, such as rocking or nursing to sleep, co-sleeping or sleeping with a soother. (Sandhu makes clear a disassociation between breastfeeding for nourishment and breastfeeding as a soothing method for sleep, in full support of the former.)

“There’s no if, ands, or buts about it – there’s going to be some

Westshore Family

Moms just need a little escape…It was a dark

and stormy night. Alone with my young children for the evening, I anticipated the challenge of combining nutrient-rich food from the fridge into something that each child would

consume – likely some cheesy noodle mush, although I personally craved a prawn and avocado sandwich – followed by the tooth-brushing, face-washing, you-will-go-pee battle and the re-reading of the Bobbsey Twins (why did I ever introduce the book series of my childhood?) who, apparently, always ate the broccoli provided by the “slim and pretty Mrs. Bobbsey.”

Ordering in pizza, I decided, would solve the rst problem. So there I was, huddled by the woodstove in a baggy, tomato-stained shirt with matching, tomato splattered sweats when the doorbell sounded. I opened the door and took a deep breath hoping to smell Completely Cooked Dinner. But the fuzzy-haired, middle-aged woman standing on the doorstep was not holding pizza boxes.

“Pizza?” I started to say before realizing my mistake. Oh no, this wasn’t pizza sales, this was souls’ purchasing. “I really haven’t time for this right now. Let me show you the fastest route to the neighbours – the ones who have loud parties.”

“Hush,” the woman said, pushing her

way into the house. She peered at the dusty shelves and cluttered oors. (Okay, I’d worked the last couple of days and the house cleaning suffered.) She sniffed slightly and then xed me with a pair of bird-like brown eyes. “I am your fairy godmother. You will go directly to the bathroom where you will run a hot bubble bath and climb in.”

I eyed her suspiciously. “I’m not in the market for a vacuum cleaner.”

She ignored me. “I’ll be in with candles, incense, a bottle of Prosseco, a large piece of cappuccino cheesecake and – ”

“A prawn and avocado sandwich?” I asked. Maybe I did need a vacuum cleaner.

“Indeed,” she answered.As I lounged in the tub, sipping bubbly

and nibbling cheesecake, I strained to overhear the kitchen activity. Apparently, the pizza had been cancelled and my children were happily eating organic brown rice, three vegetables and a tofu casserole. They adamantly refused desert, choosing instead to help each other clean their rooms while the mystery woman vacuumed, scrubbed and folded laundry.

I added as much hot water as I could stand and sank into the bubbles. I heard my daughters in the bedroom, gently arguing about story time books.

“We can read the Bobbsey Twins tonight,” the younger said generously.

“No, no,” said the elder one. “That’s okay. We can read Cat in the Hat.”

“Lot’s of time for the Bobbsey Twins

and the Cat in the Hat,” the woman said in a jolly voice. “I’d be happy to read the Dr. Suess book for the 1,431st time.”

“Hello momma!” sang each of my daughters as they skipped into the bathroom and spent a good ve minutes carefully brushing each tooth. They used soap and water to wash their faces, necks and behind their ears, and peed without the tiniest bit of manipulation.

I was about to doze off again when I heard whispering and felt a soft breath caress my cheek. I woke with a start to nd myself in front the wood stove wearing a tomato-stained shirt. My daughters were planting tiny wake-up kisses on my face.

“Pizza’s here,” said one.“Look,” said another. “We set the table

with the fancy napkins and made you a special card.” She held up a rainbow drawing.

I uncurled from the chair and felt a stab of joy as I looked deep into their precious, innocent eyes. The thought of pizza was okay. The house-cleaning could wait until tomorrow and I loved reading the Bobbsey Twins.

Sometimes moms just need a little escape – even if it’s only in their minds.

The fi ght to saygoodnight… continued from 13

amount of crying, but what we try to do is make it less stressful for parents and babies. Parents can be a coach throughout the whole process and be in the room with their baby, supporting them, guiding them,” said Sandhu.

“Sleep is quite undervalued in society in general. It needs to be the opposite. Sleep is almost as important as any other thing we provide our child with. We spend so much time feeding and nurturing and bonding, but our babies need to learn to sleep well for their development.”

Brenda Kovitz, owner of Tumblebums Play Centre and Toy Shop in Langford, launched sleep consultation service Tumblebum Solutions, after gaining online certi cation via the Family Sleep Institute. Kovitz now offers sleep seminars through her West Shore business of the Esquimalt Recreation Centre and privately. The pivotal element of Kovitz’ teachings: develop a consistent routine and stick to it.

About half of the parents who visit Kovitz allow crying-it-out for a lengthy period of time in the initial establishment of the child’s sleep routine.

“I believe in doing what parents are comfortable with and I will support them,” Kovitz said, adding that crying-it-out often lasts over an hour on the rst night and decreases rapidly after that.

For DePape, the transformation took three days.

Kovitz speaks openly of her methods, while Sandhu remains more hesitant to discuss crying-it-out, a result of the stigma which remains associated with the method.

Its proponents downplay the time a baby spends struggling with self-soothing at the onset of a program, and opponents cite studies of negative psychological effects caused by leaving a child to cry.

“There’s controversy because a lot of what people are quoting is not accurate research,” Kovitz said. “They’ll often talk about children who are left to cry at orphanages, who are also not held at any other time in the day, sort of a 24-hour abandonment. Children who are in a stable, loving home for a short period of time to do the training: totally safe.”

DePape had bought books such as The No-Cry Sleep Solution, but her efforts fell at. She set her time as ve minutes of solo-crying for Connor before she’d visit Connor with a hug or a little stint in the rocking chair.

“Everyone should be loving and attached to their children and I so support that, but when we talk about attachment parenting and say let’s listen to the emotional needs of the child, what’s being ignored is … sometimes our babies are crying because they actually need to go to sleep.”

The belief that a person’s rst year as a parent has to be sleep-deprived is a myth, she added.

“If you don’t have a good sleeping baby then you can have a poor sleeping toddler and then a poor sleeping child, which leads into poor sleeping habits throughout life,” Sandhu said.

“The new normal is: ‘Night night and see you in the morning,’” DePape said. “He just sort of rolls over, snuggles down and goes to sleep.”

Sleep tips from Sukkie Sandhu, a sleep consultant1) Choose an early bed time between 6 and 8 p.m.2) Put your child to bed in the same place every night3) Create a predictable bedtime routine, be it a bath, a story, a cuddle,

etc., to smoothen the transition into bed4) The most important step, Sandhu says, is to put the child to bed

awake because it allows them fall asleep without you.

The sights, sounds and smells of a post-apocalyptic city in ruins are yours to explore, as your tour guides – a group of clowns – take you on a storied ride through the city.

It’s a movie, it’s a live performance and it makes for a “weird, touching and beau-tiful” theatre experience.

“It crosses the line between being a film experience and being a live experi-ence,” Janet Munsil says of Il Pixel Ros-so’s And the Birds Fell From the Sky. “It’s a very immersive experience because your vision is taken away and replaced with a video. And there’s audio. And then there’s a live performance going on around you. … You can’t see the performance, but you can feel the performance. Things are being put in your hand, and you can smell the performance in places.”

This “sensory experience” is one of four international shows coming to Vic-toria as part of Intrepid Theatre’s new festival, Winterlab.

Munsil, Intrepid’s artistic director, says the new, small festival will expose the-

atregoers to some of the “most exciting independent theatre-work out there in the world.”

While she points to And the Birds’ unique form of story-telling as innovative (“It’s not audience participation – only two people are in the audi-ence – but you’re both com-pletely immersed in the expe-

rience.”), she says all the shows have qualities that make them special, and a treat to have in Victoria.

Also showing at the festival is Vanessa Van Durme’s Look Mummy, I’m Dancing, Wonderheads’ Grim & Fischer, and two visual performance pieces using over-head projector animation from Daniel Barrow.

Winterlab will also feature a workshop from Il Pixel Rosso on combining technol-ogy with live performance, and a Play-wright’s Cabaret, readings of new works by local playwrights.

“It’s the most cold and boring time of the year. It’s a good time to shake your-self awake with some really extraordinary theatre experiences – stuff like you’ve never seen before,” Munsil says.

Winterlab runs Jan. 23 to Feb. 3, with shows running at Intrepid Theatre Club (#2-1609 Blanshard St.) and Metro Studio (1411 Quadra St.).

Tickets, from $18 to a $69 festival pass, can be purchased online at ticketrocket.org or by calling 250-590-6291.

Jessica Renfrew at heart of rebuilt Vikes hoops teamTravis PatersonNews staff

Jessica Renfrew is team-first and there’s no other way about it.

The selfless basketball player has hit a new level this year as a regular starter for the UVic Vikes.

On Tuesday the 20-year-old was named Canada West’s Ath-lete of the Week for all sports, having helped the Vikes to a pair of road wins. Renfrew scored 21 points in the Vikes’ 72-51 win over the Winnipeg Wesmen and 23 points in a 79-62 win over the Manitoba Bisons on Friday and Saturday to win the award.

It’s all part of the Renfrew’s arrival as an all-star calibre player in the CIS.

“She won’t see it that way,” said Vikes coach Dani Sinclair.

“Renfrew just wants what’s best for the team. She’s very unselfish. Nobody works harder than her. She’s in the gym every single day, even in the summer, and it’s not for personal acco-lades, but because she wants the team to succeed.”

“I can’t remember any award that is as honouring as this one,” Renfrew said. “There are a lot of great basketball players in my league and my teammates

have been super congratulatory (about Athlete of the Week), but it’s only because of our team success. I couldn’t have done it without the support of the team.”

It might sound cliché, but only to a point.

Before Renfrew joined the Vikes she was named Claremont secondary’s high school athlete of the year for her contributions to the provincial champion soc-cer team and basketball team that made the final-four. Only thing is, she’s not exactly sure which year she won it.

“Grade 11, I think.”Renfrew’s now in her third

season with the Vikes and is part of a core of younger players with fellow third-year Cassandra Goodis who bring promise to the rest of this season, and beyond.

Already Renfrew has seen the Vikes shift through major adver-sity. Her first year under former coach Brian Cheng was “a huge learning curve” playing behind CIS MVP Kayla Dykstra and vet-eran Vanessa Forstbauer. Then came the surprise second half to her rookie year, when injuries ended Dykstra’s and Forstbau-er’s seasons, which led to regu-lar floor time for Renfrew.

Then came the Vikes’ rebuild last season under new head coach Rich Chambers (currently on leave).

“I played a lot, and started, but it didn’t go as well as we’d hoped,” Renfrew said.

During those years Renfrew and Sinclair furthere cemented their relationship, one that started back in 2004 when Sin-clair was the assistant coach on the 2004 B.C. Summer Games girls basketball team. Renfrew and Vikes second-year guard Shaylyn Crisp, also of Claremont, was on that team.

“Even back then Renfrew showed signs of being able to play at this level,” Sinclair said.

“She and I have built a rela-tionship over a number of years, and I joke that I’m harder on her than anyone else, and I might be, so maybe that does go back to the fact that we’ve had a coach-player relationship for so long.”

“It really started to develop this year,” said Renfrew. “With me getting older and (Sinclair) starting to understand each other better, and our desires to be better.”

Key to Renfrew’s breakout success this year are the addi-tions she’s made to her game.

“She has a pull-up shot now, shoots three consistently, and always has run the floor very well. She’s also become a better defender, a more well-rounded player.”

Statistically, fifth-year Vikes guard Debbie Yeboah is third among scorers in the Canada West with 223 points, an average of 18.6 per game.

Renfrew is 12th with with 177 points (14.8 ppg).

Edward HillNews staff

Across our big old universe, objects orbiting other objects is a common astronomical pastime. The moon orbits the Earth, the Earth orbits the sun, the solar system orbits the galactic centre of the Milky Way.

A collaboration of astrophysics and astrono-mers, including two from the University of Victo-ria, have discovered something weird – a cluster of small “dwarf” galaxies is rotating in an orderly fashion around Andromeda galaxy, our nearest intergalactic neighbour.

This planet-like behaviour among galaxies has never been detected before and it fails to fit estab-lished models of how galaxies evolve.

What’s more, the orbit of these dwarf galax-ies is so vast, a single rotation is longer than the

age of the universe. They haven’t made it around once. A paper discussing this phenomenon was published recently in the jour-nal Nature.

“It’s a sobering reminder of how fragile our under-standing of these things are,” said UVic astrophys-ics professor Julio Navarro, one of 16 lead scientists involved in the project. “How this is moving cannot be explained. Why

a giant structure of galaxies rotate is uncanny, it’s not well understood yet. But it’s cool enough to point out.”

The discovery emerged from the broader Pan Andromeda Archaeological Survey, a three-year survey of a large region of space surrounding Andromeda galaxy, using the 3.6 metre Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, in Hawaii.

UVic professor Alan McConnachie, based at the Herzberg observatory in Saanich, led that project and is another co-author of the paper.

Out of the mass of observations, the team honed in on a number of dwarf galaxies in the neighbour-hood of Andromeda. Rather than randomness, they found uniformity.

“This common property implies that these lit-tle galaxies all have a common origin, since the chance of them all just happening to be moving in the same way right now, by coincidence, is statisti-cally tiny,” McConnachie said in an email.

“These little galaxies shouldn’t ‘know’ how the other little galaxies are moving – they should all be doing their own thing, independently of all the other little galaxies.

“So it looks like we are missing something pretty basic, and potentially very important.”

Navarro admits he was skeptical when the data started to suggest a group of 15 dwarf galaxies were orbiting in a well-defined plane a million light years in diameter, but only 30,000 light years thick, a similar structure to how planets orbit a star.

“I thought it would be hard to explain. We haven’t seen this often, if ever,” he said.

“It took quite a bit of convincing within the col-laboration that we had not missed something. But our confidence grew that this was not a product of chance.”

Due to its sheer size and a spin cycle older than the universe, the apparent forces involved in these orbiting dwarf galaxies are much different than what rotates a galaxy on its axis, or planets around a star, Navarro said.

His personal pet theory is that these galax-ies aren’t rotating at all – that they are part of a “filament” of dwarf galaxies being consumed by Andromeda, and are moving with a velocity that

mimics rotation from our vantage point on Earth.“It might not be an orbit; it might be an object

that coming in (to Andromeda) for the first time,” he said. “It is still odd.”

Although this discovery adds a new mystery into the cosmological mix, Navarro, a theorist by trade, isn’t ready to chuck out the theories on galaxy dynamics built from decades of computer modelling and backed by observation.

“Facing an odd finding points to us either not understanding the detailed theory, or that the the-ory is incorrect. It’s a reminder that there’s a con-stant need for discovery, and discovery pushes us farther. You learn more from the unexpected than the expected.”

Reduce Belly Fat! Increase Energy!

Testosterone levels begin to diminish in men around age 30. In fact, by the time men are 60 years old, they typically produce 60% less testosterone than they did at age 20 (a man’s sexual peak). Many men over the age of 35 may already be feeling the effects of lower testosterone including:

Increased Belly FatLow Energy

Low LibidoMood Changes

Decreased Muscle Strength Prostate Problems and more...

Unfortunately at the same time testosterone is decreasing, estrogen levels are increasing, causing further muscle loss and gain in body fat, making it extremely difficult to maintain a healthy metabolism.

Along with a program of proper nutrition and regular exercise, researchers have discovered a group of naturally proven nutrients that can help you safely reduce excess estrogen while maximizing testosterone levels.

Ultimate Male Energy™ contains 100% natural ingredients like: Chrysin, Stinging Nettle Root Extract, Indole-3-Carbinol and Broccoli Sprout Powder to help restore healthy, youthful hormone balance by positively affecting both estrogen and testosterone production, which ultimately helps a man look, feel and perform at his best.
