New UVic president inherits tough budget Cutbacks to continue as Jamie Cassels sets stage for university’s next 50 years Edward Hill News staff
The first week of work for Jamie Cassels included dishing pancakes to University of Victoria students and leading a six-kilometre run around the campus, an upbeat start to the tenure of UVic’s new president. Where the past year focused on UVic’s 50th anniversary, Cassels says his job is about setting the stage for the next 50 years. But the foreseeable future won’t be easy – across the board budget cuts that led to layoffs last year will likely continue. That will set the stage for the next round of union negotiations for contracts set to expire in 2014, barely two years after a rotating strike and hard bargaining ended with temporary labour peace. As UVic’s vice-president academic and provost from 2001 to 2010, Cassels is no stranger to high-level administration of an institution with about 5,000 employees and 20,000 students. “The top priority for me is a series of consultations on campus and in the community. I’m scheduled for 40, 50 or 60 meetings in the next few months with students, faculty, staff and the community to begin the conversation of what the next 50 years will hold,” Cassels says. “We have to be careful not to march out a prepackaged vision of where we need to go. Even the president of the university can’t do a lot unless you’ve got the community working with you.” Cassels, 57 and a resident of Fairfield, takes the helm of a university ranked best in Canada without a medical school, and labelled research university of the
year in 2012. During his time as vicepresident, he drove the integration of teaching and research – enough to have a research scholarship named in his honour – a priority he plans to expand as president. “Hands-on learning through co-ops, clinics, and practicums, we can build even stronger educational components. I am passionate about integrating research and education,” he says. “We have a real opportunity to say how to put (research) in the education environment.” Shaping the future of one of the region’s largest employers will continue to be tempered by declining provincial operating grants, and upward pressure on salaries and costs. UVic budget estimates project a $5.9-million funding shortfall for 2014-15 and a $5-million shortfall for the year after, even with increases in tuition. Last year departments and faculty cut four per cent from their budgets and are expected to do the same for the next fiscal year. In December UVic laid off a few dozen staff and cut positions through attrition. Cassels says the university will know this fall how the budget will shake out, but he expects “more significant cuts in the next few years.” “Going forward, we face a budget challenge on one hand, and a desire of employees for appropriate compensation. It’s the challenge of any administration ... to try and strike a balance and make sure employees still feel valued and part of the organization,” Cassels says. “I find this a welcome challenge, and one reason that motivated me into the position. It may be the most important thing a president does is showing employees they play really important roles on delivering the mission.”

The University of Victoria’s new president Jamie Cassels led a six-kilometre run to help kick off the first week of the school year last Friday. Cassels leads a university ranked highly in Canada and the world, but continues to face significant budget pressures due to reduced provincial funding and increasing operating costs.

French immersion popularity continues to rise across region
Sharing the harvest
Danielle Pope News staff
French is the new black as school comes back into session for students across Greater Victoria and B.C. Of the 7,894 students registered in kindergarten to Grade 5 in the Greater Victoria School District (SD61), 23.4 per cent are enrolled in French immersion. A further 25.3 per cent of Grade 6 to 8 students are registered in the program at the middle school level. High school registration numbers for the district are not yet available. “Yes, French immersion is on the rise in our area, especially for our kindergarten levels,” said Simon Burgers, modern language co-ordinator for SD61. “French immersion in Victoria has grown on an annual basis and Victoria has seen an increase in kindergarten registrations

in French immersion.” Burgers says Victoria lays claim to the largest French immersion program per total student enrolment in the province. “The Greater Victoria School District continues to lead the way in offering our families many educational program options,” said Wendy Holob, principal of École Willows Elementary. “We offer sport academies, schools of choice, and French immersion programs as opportunities to meet individual student’s interests and strengths. French immersion is one of these exciting programs available to our families. In their own ways, each of these programs adds to our vibrant school environments.” According to a recent study by Canadian Parents for French, B.C. and Yukon division, French immersion enrolment in B.C.’s pub-
lic education system has reached a record 15th year of consecutive growth. Figures indicate 47,857 students – or 8.5 per cent of the student population in B.C. – are now registered in French immersion. There are also more than 187,000 students learning French through regular classroom curriculum. “We believe French programs are popular because they are widely recognized by parents as providing young students with the tools and experiences that will enrich their lives and help them prepare for the future,” said Debra Pool, president of Canadian Parents for French B.C. and Yukon, an organization dedicated to promoting second language opportunities for all young students.

Three months, three robberies at 7-Eleven in Saanich
Saanich resident Heather Hughes quit her consulting job in 1996 and left urban Saanich to buy a farm near Bear Hill. After five years of ups and down, she sold the farm and returned to the familiar city life. Hughes recently published a book, Living in Paradise, recounting the stories that came from her career and lifestyle change.
Kyle Slavin News staff
A Saanich 7-Eleven was robbed at knife point early Tuesday morning, the third time the convenience store has been targeted in less than three months. A man brandishing a switchbladestyle knife entered the store at Tillicum and Carey roads Sept. 10 around 1:30 a.m. demanding cash and cigarettes. He ran southbound on Tillicum Road after receiving an undisclosed amount of money and a carton of cigarettes. The suspect is described as a man in his mid-20s with an average height. He was wearing white shorts, a black hooded sweatshirt, a black mask and sunglasses. “Investigators believe there is a nexus between this (robbery) and one of the other previous incidents,” said Saanich police Sgt. Steve Eassie. The same 7-Eleven was also robbed in the early morning hours on June 25 and July 15. In both cases a weapon was produced. Surveillance cameras captured the robberies, but haven’t produced footage that could identify a suspect. “This (recent robbery) would be more similar to the incident in June, based on the description of the individual and the clothing description and the manner in which the individual approached the store,” Eassie said. Investigators have a possible suspect relating to the July incident. Following the July robbery, officers advised the owners of the 7-Eleven store to have at least two employees working at all times. While two employees were working Tuesday morning, one of them had just left to go into a storage room before the incident occurred. “In most cases ... it appears to be evident that people sit and watch to ensure no customers are present in the store. Likely they’re sitting and watching for the other employee to leave,” Eassie said. Police are asking anyone with information on any of these incidents to call 250-475-4321.

Farming hard, but rewarding Saanich writer outlines trials of going back to the land in new book Kyle Slavin News staff
Heather Hughes once had a farm. E-I-E-I-O. And on that farm she had llamas and alpacas, an acre of lush kiwi vines, raspberry bushes as far as the eye could see, a greenhouse full of beautiful alstroemeria, plants bed burgeoning with fresh vegetables and memories to last a lifetime. It was 1996 when Hughes and her then-husband were looking for a new home, a quiet place with a yard where their young daughter Robyn could play. And it just so happened that they found what they were looking for in a small farm on the Saanich-Central Saanich border. “My husband was not convinced that we could pull it off, and I was absolutely convinced we could. … I was a manage-
ment consultant at the time, and I was at that stage in my career where I was a little restless, I was ready for some change,” Hughes says. “So I told all my clients I’m taking a different direction with my life. It’s a full-time job to run a farm.” Hughes and her family made the move from urban to rural Saanich in December 1996. She traded business suits for gumboots and made the most of the experience. “It was way more expensive than we ever planned to spend, but there were all sorts of revenue streams. There was a greenhouse, there was a woodworking shop. There were things that we deemed would make it affordable,” Hughes says. “And my husband had a good job in town, so the stability of his employment would kind of support us in the initial stages when we got it up and running.” Less than five months after embarking on this endeavour, Hughes and her husband split up, leaving her a single mom with no steady income and a
seven-acre farm to tend to. “I’m not a quitter. I’m the kind of person that says, ‘Okay, life’s thrown me this curve ball, now what are you going to do about it?’ I rolled up my sleeves and went on with it. I thought initially, ‘I can keep this place going. I’ll show him,’” Hughes says. She found ways to make money from the farm. She began inviting school groups to the property to teach them about animals, organic farming or irrigation. She also opened the farm to the public on Sundays and let people pick their produce straight out of the ground. Hughes and her daughter stayed on the farm for five years until it wasn't making sense financially to remain, so she sold it and returned to their urban lifestyle. But the time spent at Ladybug Farm was memorable and life-changing, she says. "For me, it's a sense of pride. I did it, I took a risk, I worked very hard at it. Some might say I was not successful, I say I was very successful. I rolled up my
sleeves and I tackled things that I really didn't have the expertise on and I realized I can do this," she says. Successful or not, Hughes says she wouldn't do it again if she had the chance. Her word of advice for people who are looking for some tranquil acreage in the country: don't buy a farm. "When you move into a farming area, there's a lot of unexpected things that can happen. We can have torrential rain for a long period of time – that's going to destroy your crops you're counting on," she says. "You have to be really resilient and you have to be really flexible, and able to cope with so many things that are beyond your control." Hughes recently published her book, Living in Paradise, which features stories of the ups and downs from her first year owning the farm. The book is available at Ivy's Book Shop in Oak Bay and Tanner's Books in Sidney. Copies can also be ordered by contacting Hughes at heatherconsults@shaw.ca. kslavin@saanichnews.com

The annual Terry Fox Run and “Hair Do” event is at Mile 0 this Sunday, starting at 10:30 a.m.
Terry Fox’s legacy lives on
Europe’s Beauty Secret Clinically Proven!
Charla Huber News staff
Fewer lines and wrinkles, thicker hair, stronger nails and denser bones.
No matter how many decades have passed since the original Marathon of Hope, each September Canadians stop to remember and honour Terry Fox. Whether it’s sitting down to watch a film, shave a head or run for the cause, there is something for everyone at this year’s Terry Fox events at Mile 0. An outdoor showing of the film Terry will kick off the festivities on Saturday, Sept. 14 at the monument of the Canadian hero. The movie will begin at dusk. Prior to the film, Johnny Vallis will perform at 7:30 p.m. “Terry is a really well-done movie,” said Linda Johnstone, a volunteer and event organizer and a “People can come out and learn so much about Terry. It also gets people in the mood for our Terry weekend.” The following day, Sunday, Sept. 15, are the Terry Fox Run and the seventh annual Terry Fox Great Canadian Hair Do based at Mile 0. The run begins at 10:30 a.m. with registration at 9 a.m. The route begins near Dallas Road and Douglas Street and participants will walk or run along Dallas Road to St. Charles Street and back to Mile 0. “I’ve never missed a run, I’ve done them all. This will be my 33rd,” said Johnstone, a retired phys-ed teacher from Lambrick Park secondary. This will also be Johnstone’s seventh year organizing the Hair Do event. It began as a head shave, but the name was changed to encourage people to cut their hair who may not be comfortable going down to the scalp. “We do this to continue on Terry’s dream, so many people are surviving cancer now because of all the research,” Johnstone said. “Come on out and raise some money in Terry’s name.” To sign up for the Terry Fox Great Canadian Hair Do, contact Johnstone at 250-477-6545 or lindajohnstone@shaw.ca. For more on the run see terryfox.org/run.
Collagen is the key. Molecular biologists have pinpointed the key structural protein for creating smooth skin, thick strong hair, and strong nails. It’s your body’s beauty protein, collagen. During youth, you have a rich abundance of collagen. In addition, the collagen forms itself in a resilient “tight mesh” matrix. This “ideal” collagen condition prevents wrinkles from forming, gives skin elasticity, helps create thick, beautiful hair and strong nails. But over the years, collagen diminishes. Starting at age 21, collagen diminishes by 1% per year. By age 30, signs of reduced collagen on skin, hair and nails become visible, not to mention the increase risk of fracture for bones. Say the words “healthy bones,” and the first word that probably pops up is calcium, but did you know that bones are made up of 30% collagen? Collagen provides strength and flexibility to bones. When collagen diminishes – your risk of fracture increases! Now, genuine collagen regeneration is possible with clinically proven BioSil™. BioSil, a patented cholinestabilized orthosilicic acid (ch-OSA®) complex, helps your body to generate its own collagen to provide support for denser and more flexible bones as well as beautiful skin, hair and nails. BioSil has been tested in rigorous double-blind placebo controlled trials for both efficacy and safety. Regenerate Collagen with BioSil, the only clinically proven product with ch-OSA – the most absorbable form of silicon.

Dog on dog attack at park a hard lesson for owner Saanich pound stresses all owners need to have control of their animals Kyle Slavin News staff
Marion Jensen enjoys the end of summer, when rules preventing dogs from being at Cadboro-Gyro Park are relaxed, and Sophie, her miniature poodle, can play in her favourite spot. Late Saturday morning (Sept. 7) Jensen was walking with her 10-year-old dog off-leash on the Saanich beach when she approached a larger dog out of curiosity. “My dog’s a friendly little poodle. She went up to a big brown and white dog, and within seconds the dog lunged and bit her, and had her by the throat and side, and he dragged her across the beach and had her pinned down,” Jensen recalled. “It happened so very quickly, and you’re very helpless in that situation.” Jensen said it felt like an eternity for the attack to end. She says it may have been a couple minutes, but it may have been upwards of 10 minutes. “When you’re watching something like that, time seems to drag,” she said. The owners of the larger dog tried to stop the attack. The man who was with the dog, also off-leash, was trying to pull his dog away, but was unsuccessful. Jensen says a second man intervened carrying a large piece of driftwood and told the owner of the bigger dog – she’s unsure of what breed it was – to hit it on the head with the wood. “There were many blows. Finally the dog let go, and Sophie staggered up. People were mesmerized she could walk at all,” Jensen said. “I don’t think that dog would’ve released my dog on its own.” With puncture wounds all over her body, Jensen rushed her dog to the vet, without getting contact information for owners of the other dog. “Dog owners should
absolutely exchange information, for liability, for civil reasons, if there’s vet bills,” said Saanich pound inspector Susan Ryan. Jensen now has $600 in bills from Sophie’s first visit, and expects that figure to climb. “If you’re the owner of a dog that does that, it would be good if you contact authorities and perhaps offer to pay the vet’s bill,” Jensen said. “When the dog has shown they are capable of that, I think it’s the owner’s responsibility to report it, and decide if they’re going to muzzle it or keep it confined or if they’re going to put it down.” Jensen called the Saanich animal pound to report the incident once Sophie had seen a doctor – but almost two hours had passed. Ryan said timeliness matters, as they need to investigate the incident and the histories of both dogs.
“People with dogs are just too careless about allowing their dogs to approach everyone and everything.” – Susan Ryan Saanich pound But Ryan said this incident, and the many others like it that happen each and every week in Saanich, is easily preventable – and all dog owners need to be more empathetic to other dog walkers. “Everybody should have their dogs under control before this happens. People with dogs are just too careless about allowing their dogs to approach everyone and everything,” she said. “If it’s off leash, it needs to be under effective control. And that’s the problem – trying to educate people on that. They’ll think just because their dog’s off leash it can walk up to people. Not everybody wants a dog walking up to

Marion Jensen’s dog Sophie was attacked by another dog Saturday at Gyro Park beach. She has shunts and tubes in her injuries. them, because they don’t know what the dog wants to do. “At the end of the day ... you’re putting your dog in a precarious position, and you’re putting that person in a bad position.” The pound officer isn’t a huge fan of offleash areas as most dog owners don’t understand that the bylaw states dogs should be under “effective control.” That means if it will not respond to your command, the dog must be leashed. “You need to have you dog under control before it’s approaching other people or other dogs. Get their consent first. If they’re OK with it, then great. But there are some people and some dogs out there that won’t be okay with it,” Ryan said. “You choose to have an animal. It should not impact on somebody else’s ability to enjoy a public space.” Jensen said Sophie is slowly recovering, but is visibly traumatized from the attack. “She’s in her kennel a lot right now. She’s not able to go outside – she’s afraid to go outside. I think it’ll
be quite a recuperation,” she said. “I think Sophie is probably going to go back to the beach, but we will have her on a leash, and only let her off if there’s no dogs round. She’s going to be one of those shy dogs now.” Police are still looking to speak with and identify the owners of the second dog involved in the incident. Anyone with information can call 250-475-4321.

“At the same time, I’m accountable and responsible for resources of the institution, while keeping in mind the mission to deliver education to students,” Cassels says. “It’s a juggling act.” UVic saw more than $220 million in capi-
tal construction in the early 2000s, but likely won’t see new major buildings this decade once the $77-million athletics building, CARSA, is complete. The university has plans expand the continuing studies building and student housing. Some dorm lounges had to be retrofitted into apartments this month due to overcrowding.
“I think UVic is the right size. It’s big enough to be a national player but small enough to be a personalized, collegial environment for students,” Cassels says. “But we need more residential space. Students come from across Canada and the world, and Victoria is small enough that it can’t offer student accommodation in proportion to the size of the university.” After spending the past two years in the relative quiet of teaching in the faculty of

law, where he started at UVic 32 years ago, Cassels is eager to take on the big job of steering the institution. “I’m passionate about this university. I’ve got something to offer and I see challenges and opportunities that I’m able to help the university pursue,” he says. “I have a straightforward understanding of the mission – education and research that makes a difference to students and the community.” editor@saanichnews.com

Navy ship damage ‘cosmetic’ Daniel Palmer News staff
One of two Canadian Navy ships involved in a collision at sea will be back on the water as early as this week. On Aug. 30, HMCS Algonquin, an Iroquois-class destroyer, was hit on its port side by the bow of HMCS Protecteur, the navy’s only Pacific supply ship. The mishap occurred during an exercise while the ships were en route to Hawaii. Protecteur’s repairs were cosmetic,” said Commodore Bob Auchterlonie, commander of Cana-
dian Fleet Pacific. “Repairs are actually complete now and she’ll be underway as early as (this) week” Algonquin, which sustained heavy damage to its port side hangar, will require extensive repairs, but the scope of the damage has not yet been determined, he said. “It’s still too early to speculate on (Algonquin’s) return date to sea.” Auchterlonie couldn’t recall a similar incident occurring in his 27 years with the Canadian Navy. “It’s clear something went terribly wrong,” he said. “The board of inquiry will look at the full range of factors and causes.”

OUR VIEW
Gov’t can’t walk and chew gum O
ut front of the big stone building in Victoria’s Inner Harbour is where people watch Symphony Splash, where tourists snap pics, where the annual marathon has its finish line and where concerts are held on Canada Day. The grounds of the legislature are busy, except as a place of work for our 85 elected provincial representatives. With another fall sitting cancelled, MLAs will have sat in the chamber for 36 days this year. It’s good work if you can get it. Cancelling legislative sessions has become the norm for the B.C. Liberals. House leader Mike de Jong has repeated the script four times now – he has announced the cancellation of the fall sitting in 2013, 2012, 2008 and 2006. Each time, the NDP opposition registered its outrage with the media, declaring the cancellation an abdication of democracy and accusing the Liberals of trying to avoid tough issues and questions. Premier Christy Clark points out the legislature sat in the summer after the spring election and that the government will get more work done not being in session. The government apparently can’t walk and chew gum at the same time. The province is facing big questions about the direction of its energy policy, the shrinking provincial budget surplus (or increasing deficit, depending on who you talk to), increasing B.C. Hydro rates and our role as a Pacific Rim economy. No matter your political stripe, B.C. residents should be skeptical of the claim the government has no pressing legislation or issues to discuss through the fall. Whether it’s the federal Conservatives proroguing Parliament or the B.C. Liberals cancelling sessions, senior government inaction serves only to perpetuate cynicism and promote alienation of the public from politics. Our local government councillors and mayors, most who are paid relatively little and certainly don’t get the pensions and spending perks of senior elected officials, normally don’t get the luxury of cancelling public meetings. The outrage would be heard far and wide if Victoria city council decided to avoid its chamber to avoid tough questions or “to get more work done.” Other than promoting liquefied natural gas as a future cash cow, the Liberals’ priorities and agenda for the next four years remain unclear. For a full public accounting of our rising provincial debt and struggling budget, stay tuned, five months from now.

the Senate, in consultation with the provinces. Sadly, Conservatives and Liberals worked together to defeat that plan. In doing so, they voted to keep sending our tax dollars to an institution in which we do not have a single representative, rather than to invest in the things all Canadians need. Imagine what else we could do with a $100 million a year. How many new schools, bridges and hospitals could be built? How many polluted waterways could be restored and put to productive use? How many seniors could we lift out of poverty and give back the dignity they’ve been denied by Conservative cuts? Canadians know the status quo isn’t good enough and they know how we can fix it. Every province in Canada manages without an unelected upper house; so can the federal government. The Senate does nothing that cannot be done by the elected House of Commons. Change won’t be easy, but already three provincial premiers are on record in support of abolition. Here in B.C., Premier Christy Clark told reporters, “We don’t really need a Senate.” The recent Senate scandals are nothing new, but for many Canadians they’re the last straw. More and more, we are seeing the Senate for what it is: a vestigial organ that adds nothing to our democracy – and sometimes gets in the way. It’s time to pull the plug. Murray Rankin is NDP Member of Parliament for Victoria.

MLA explains voting record Re: Weaver’s actions somehow ignored (Letters, Sept. 6) I thank Mr. Faris for challenging me to justify why I voted in support of the B.C. budget on July 8. The motion on which I voted was deemed to be a confidence motion in the government. Were the motion to fail (for example in the case of a minority government), we would be heading into another general election. The B.C. Liberals proposed this same budget prior to the election and got re-elected. B.C. voters had an opportunity to elect another party but chose to re-elect the Liberals for four more years. I felt it was important to support British Columbians in this regard.

Over the course of my campaign, I said numerous times that I would work with whichever party formed government. I do not believe that opposing the budget that the Liberals ran on (and won on) a mere eight weeks after the election would be fulfilling this promise. During the campaign I also stated that I wanted to do politics differently. Opposition members are afforded the opportunity to vote against everything without having to propose very much. I feel that I better serve the constituents of Oak Bay-Gordon Head and the citizens of B.C. by supporting the overall budget, thereby showing confidence in the newly elected government, while continuing to raise
concerns about the aspects I find troublesome. Mr. Faris is incorrect in implying that projected liquid natural gas revenues are in the 2013-14 budget.

As we watch our children head off for the start of another school year, we should pause and consider the state of education in the rest of the world. While Canadians enjoy one of the best education systems that exist, globally 57 million children of primary school age still remain out of school; that’s almost twice the population of Canada denied a future. The Global Partnership for Education is the only multilateral partnership that exists to help bring down that appalling number. Over the last decade, it has put an additional 23 million children in school, trained 413,000 teachers and constructed more than 37,000 classrooms for boys and girls. Canada helps fund this program and these numbers are an
sobering: globally, 66 million girls are not offered any schooling at all. When girls get an education, they are six times less likely to be married off as children, and have 2.2 fewer children. For every extra additional year a girl stays in school, her income can increase by 15 to 25 per cent. The Global Partnership for Education is slated for funding renewal and it’s imperative our federal government increases its contribution. During the past funding round, the Global Partnership achieved barely half of its needs, resulting in another lost generation. Compared to the economic return, the cost of educating children is small, and girls especially need our help to bring much needed changes VIVRE en COLOMBIE-BRITANNIQUE .CA

Re: PEERS loses drop-in centre, social program (News, Sept.4) I have long held that our attitude towards prostitutes reflects our attitude towards women in general. This further cut in service by PEERS shows we have learned nothing from the Pickton affair – women remain potential targets, carefully watched lest they show signs of provocation. So glad I was born male – and they do the pregnancy thing too. Andy Mulcahy Victoria

The end of summer usually marks the end of one of Victoria’s favourite pastimes: the farmers’ market. But as of this weekend, conscientious shoppers will be able to satisfy their “shop local” itch year-round at the Victoria Public Market at The Hudson, an indoor market in the basement of the iconic Hudson building on Douglas Street. “We’re still working on a green grocer and talking to a few interested butchers, but we’ve got an amazing list of vendors,” said market general manager Maryanne Carmack. One of those vendors is The French Oven, run by Nick Castro and Sandra Van Vliet. The couple began selling their traditional French pastries at farmers’ markets around the Capital Region this past summer, and are making their first brick-and-mortar leap into The Hudson this weekend. Foodies well-versed in Vancouver’s culinary scene will be pleased to see the addition of Vij’s Sutra, an Indian fusion vendor offering mostly takeaway products from the renowned Vij’s Restaurant. “We’ll also do a small, hot rotating menu,” said Mike Bernardo, Vij’s operations director.
“We have a chicken and chickpea curry, navy bean and kale curry … and of course, our housemade chai and our famous ginger lemon drink.” At the market’s grand opening Saturday (Sept. 14), Vij’s owner Vikram Vij will be one of several chefs showcasing their culinary expertise in the community kitchen, a rentable space created with a grant from VanCity. “There are a limited number of kitchens available for rent on the Island, so we really wanted to offer a facility where people can do canning, bread making – any food production,” Carmack said. “We’ll also be introducing kids’ programming once we get up and going.” The public market was originally slated to open last spring, but construction delays and a lack of suitable vendors pushed the date to this fall, Carmack said. Confirmed vendors include Silk Road Tea, Salt Spring Island Cheese, LaCocina de Mama Oli, Island Spice Trade, Roast and Victoria Pie Co. The grand opening kicks off at 10 a.m. on Saturday and includes musical acts, kids’ activities and a Lifecycles gardening information station.

28th Annual Fall
1900s, most childbirths took place at home under the care of a midwife or family doctor. Medical science took hold of labour with the rise of pain medications and technology, reducing infant and mother mortality, while pathologizing pregnancy. These days, more women and their partners are seeking the best of both worlds: adopting the wisdom of the past and having a midwife as their primary care provider, while having the modern medical system as a strong safety net.

“We made a decision to go with a midwife based a lot on friends’ birth experiences. The best birth experiences had a midwife,” says Meaghan Sibbett, 32, who is having her first child with husband Kush Bubbar, 34. Both attended prenatal classes at Mothering Touch in Victoria. “For me it seemed a more holistic way. (Midwives) spend more time with you and support the birth partner more than the medical model,” she says. “I think of the medical model in terms of control. Doctors are medical experts, but during

most normal births you don’t need a medical expert. I’m more interested in the model of allowing the body to work they way it’s supposed to work.” Midwives remain a relatively small but growing segment of the medical system – they deliver about 14 per cent of the province’s newborns. But the gradual rise in midwives and doulas (a childbirth professional who gives prenatal and postpartum support) has gone hand in hand with continued on 13

Until the 1950s, many Canadian women gave birth under a haze of drugs in what was called a “twilight sleep.” In the 1960s and ’70s breastfeeding fell out of vogue in favour of bottle-fed formula. And until relatively recently, newborns were whisked away from their moms and wheeled into a nursery. Attitudes and ideas on pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum care in Canada and North America have evolved dramatically over the last century. In the early

Pets that go beep, beep
Reliving the tamagotchi effect Now, of course, you can Google it and see there are names for it (the “Tamagotchi effect”), debates about it (“ . . .is virtual reality a ■ SUSAN LUNDY FEATURE WRITER means of escaping the problems of modern-day life?”), warnings from psychologists (amid “fears of gender stereotyping”); as well as ongoing controversy among parents, school officials and even animal rights activists. Back then, it was just a Tamagotchi or, in our case, a Giga Pet — and those of you who have never had the honour of handling one of these beeping, insistent little monsters should immediately fall to the ground in humble thanks. The watch-size computer games offer the handler an irritating little pet, which to grow — even live — must be fed, burped, exercised and cooed at. Imagine placing a virtual life into the hands of a child who cannot hold onto a pair of socks from one day to the next. But over 10 million Tamagotchis have been sold since their debut in 1996. I confess to purchasing two of the little beasts in one of those air-headed moments. Thankfully, these Giga Pets were aimed at young players, and had a magical feature: a pause button. My daughters, Danica and Sierra, played
frantically with their new toys — beep, beep, beep — for about a week until one day (thank god) the batteries died. But this was not before Sierra, then five, was traumatized by the Tamagotchi effect (“the development of emotional attachment with machines or robots or even software agents”). Both pets were based on The Little Mermaid story. At any given time the pets were a fish, sea horse, jellyfish or crab. Pets that became too unhappy, hungry, out of shape, sick or merely petulant (all from lack of attention to the pause button) disappeared by means of a great hook that dragged them off the screen to Ursula, the wicked sea witch. Sierra had become particularly attached to her “crabbie.” After all, a pet is a pet. So when the hook dragged off crabbie while I was at work, I received a call from a devastated child. “Sob, gasp, sob.” “Sierra, what’s the matter?” “Sob. Ursula g-g-got crabbie.” “Oh. You sound very sad. Good thing it’s just a computer and crabbie’s not real.” “Gasp, sob, weep. What will Ursula do with crabbie?” “Ursula’s not really there. It’s just pretend.” “D-D-Daddy said Ursula’s going to have crab sandwiches for dinner.” “Oh, sweetheart, of course not!”
Famıly saanich
Pause. “Put your father on the phone.” About a year later, good ole dad decided to buy new Giga Pet batteries. By then only one could be found, so after tearing the house part, I reluctantly purchased another. Of course, the only virtual pet left in the entire universe was much more difficult and, horrifyingly, it had no pause button. My elder daughter took on care of it, but unfortunately, she had to sleep, the pet required 24hour care, and I could only grasp a basic understanding of how this pet worked. Danica — patient, but on the edge of hysteria — explained all I must do throughout the night to prevent the death of her pet. Sleeping with a twist of anxiety in my stomach, I pulled myself from bed around 2 a.m., exercised the miserable thing and managed to keep it alive until morning. Thankfully, after several more stress-filled days and nights, she lost it and it disappeared forever. Today, online, you can read a CNN story about a Tamagotchi cemetery in the UK; and find references to virtual resting places for dead virtual pets. And you can check out newer pet versions — they’re even more complicated with a Face Morph component, and the opportunity to teach six of them how to dance and sing together! What I haven’t found, but I think is a stellar idea, is an online support group for virtual grandparents. ●

Saanich Family Choices grow for women with childbirth continued from 11 fundamental shifts in thinking about how women and their partners approach childbirth. Laura Warren, a childbirth educator and a doula who runs prenatal classes at Mothering Touch, reenforces the idea that women have choices – midwife or doctor; home birth or hospital birth; options around drugs during labour; conditions of the delivery room or even the operating theatre in cases of Caesarian birth. “Now it’s all about teaching women what their bodies are capable of doing and that (childbirth) is a natural process, rather than a medical procedure,” Warren says. “I want to make sure women come out, not fearless, but with a lot less fear.” Warren estimates 20 per cent of pregnant couples take prenatal classes, which unpacks the process of labour, techniques to manage pain, and dispels pregnancy myths cemented into society. And the myths are rife. A book recently profiled in Maclean’s magazine, Expecting Better: How to Fight the Pregnancy Establishment with Facts, argues that there is little credible evidence that moderate amounts of alcohol, caffeine, raw fish and many other pregnancy no-nos can harm the baby in utero. “There is a lot of mixed information out there. One book to the next had totally different advice,” says Sibbett, a case worker for Bridges for Women Society. “It’s wonderful to clarify information and prenatal class makes
(giving birth) seem more possible, to have it laid out clearly with options for pain relief. It makes it more real and imaginable.” Warren said when she had her first child in 1985, prenatal class focused more on breathing techniques and less on practical knowledge. “I came out knowing nothing about childbirth,” she laughed. “My labour was unlike anything I had learned. “I found I was scared. I had very good doctor, but I remember going into labour very fearful. Prenatal instruction has come a long way in my experience.” Key differences for hospital births in recent decades is that newborns are given directly to their mom for skin to skin contact, to help regulate the newborn’s body temperature and promote bonding. Long gone are nursery wards. Breastfeeding, almost abandoned in North America 50 years ago for formula, made a resurgence under doctors like Jack Newman. Although breastfeeding in public can stir controversy and debate continues on what pregnant women can and can’t consume, childbirth is starting to find an equilibrium between nature and modern medicine. “I can’t imagine not having witnessed the delivery, holding the baby and keeping here there,” Warren says. “I can’t imagine the days when you delivered and weren’t clear headed and the baby was taken away to the nursery.” ● editor@saanichnews.com

T
he Arab-Israeli conflict seems intractable at the best of times and may appear more hopeless than ever after watching The Attack, a heart-wrenching drama about love and loss that has a suicide bombing at its core. The central character is Amin Jaafari, a distinguished Arab surgeon who lives in Tel Aviv and is a paragon of humanism in a world where intolerant fundamentalism is the norm. Ten minutes into the film there is a terrorist bombing in a restaurant that kills 16 people and brings many more injured to the hospital where Amin works. That act of political terror suddenly turns personal when evidence indicates it was Amin’s kindly and loving wife, Siham, who blew herself up that day. At first in denial, the emotionally devastated Amin eventually heads to Nablus in the Occupied Territories to connect with family and try to discover how and by whom Siham was radicalized. What he discovers causes him to reexamine his life, his marriage, and everything he thought he knew about his life in the Middle East. Attack is one of those quietly devastating films that starts slowly, drawing you deeper and deeper into a world where extremist ideologies have a compelling emotional power that simplifies arguments to an us-versus-them paradigm. We go on a fraught journey as Amin replays scenes in his mind, trying to understand how his soulmate could have chosen this secret and deadly path without him ever knowing. By the film’s end, a once happy and fulfilled Amin finds himself not only emotionally gutted but also alienated from the fierce beliefs of both Palestinians and Israelis.

Victoria’s Sears Home Store
Long-time Sears Home professional thrives as new senior sales manager
With a natural enthusiasm for sales, customer service and helping his co-workers thrive, Martin Gagnon has found the perfect niche as Senior Sales Manager at Victoria’s Sears Home Martin Store. Gagnon Originally from Valleyfield, welcomes Quebec, southwest of you to Sears Montreal, Gagnon left Home Store home at 17, travelling the in Victoria world with the Canadian Navy for five years. His travels landed him in Victoria, where upon meeting his partner he decided the time was right to settle down and embrace the next phase of his career. A naturally vibrant, outgoing person, retail sales was the perfect fit for Gagnon, who learned and trained with several national companies before joining the Sears family 12 years ago. Here he embraced the opportunity to bring his creative approach first to the furniture department, then major appliances, achieving the million-dollar sales mark in both departments. Why retail? “I like at the end of the day what I have accomplished,” says Gagnon, who when not at work might be founding hiking with his Cairn terrier, Coco, cooking or travelling with his partner. “I’m successful if I’ve found out what the customer needs and at the end of the sale, they say, ‘That was the best sales experience I’ve had.’” Being able to draw on his enthusiasm and creativity has been key to his success and his joy in coming to work each day. “If you see five sales people, you will remember the one who is a little different,” Gagnon explains. Rather than seeing only the straight line between a problem and a solution, for example, “I like to try a different approach with situations I come across.” Paired with his approach is his dedication to continually keeping up-to-date on new products, trends and Sears initiatives. When the opportunity arose last year to move into a management role, the next step was a right one. “I want to be able to share that knowledge and my experience with others,” explains Gagnon, a long-time trainer who is also on the lookout for his next great sales person to join the Sears team. He’s also excited about the new focus Sears has adopted, and he encourages people to come see all that is new at Sears Home. “We’re embracing style, design and quality – this is going to be the new Sears.” What makes Gagnon so successful at all he does? “He is so passionate,” Sears Home store manager Margaret Ramsay says of Gagnon. “He is passionate about the products and he’s passionate about customer service, with a very fun, positive approach.”

ugust and early September have been like a gift to Paul Rodgers. The front man for Bad Company, which begins the home stretch of its busy 40th anniversary tour with shows tomorrow (Sept. 14) in Penticton and Sunday at Esquimalt’s Bullen Field, is enjoying the perks of living in the Okanagan. “I’ve suddenly decided September is my favourite month,” he said this week, commenting on the stunning late summer weather. Having grown up in England and toured the world musically countless times, he has settled in B.C. with his wife, Cynthia, who hails from the Okanagan. Rodgers, now 63, became a Canadian citizen in 2011. “I love B.C., it’s absolutely beautiful,” he said. “I’m still discovering lakes and places to go. It’s also very English in many respects. There’s a strong connection between the two countries. It’s like England with a lot more space.” The band, also including original members Mick Ralphs on guitar and drummer Simon Kirke, kicked off the anniversary tour in mid-June with a performance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. For a group of guys in their 60s, their pace is nothing short of astounding: 16 shows in July, a few in August to allow band members to enjoy a summer break, then seven more dates in September, winding up with a show at the Los Angeles County Fair. While this year’s focus is on celebrating 40 years of making music together, touring as Bad Company has been an almost annual event in recent years.

That means they’ve stayed musically tight, Rodgers said. “It’s been awesome. On a musical level, it’s been incredible. When we hit the stage, it’s kind of like unleashing hell.” Many of the concerts on this year’s tour have sold out. A number of them featured opening act Lynyrd Skynyrd, another hugely popular band from the 1970s. Such Bad Company hits as “Rock and Roll Fantasy,” “Feel Like Making Love” and “Shooting Star” still resonate with audience members,” Rodgers said. That speaks to why many classic rock bands from past eras have begun touring again and are doing well at the gate, he added. “I think they were very good,” he said. “But we did really pay our dues. You had to go out and play, play, play all the time. But it is possible now to have your 15 minutes of fame without having played a lot of shows. Our music is real and it comes from a point of passion.” Most of the shows Bad Company puts on these days are in smaller venues, where concert goers can be closer to the band. Regardless of the performance space, Rodgers said it’s important that they put out “110 per cent” for the audience. “You want to be sure it’s great music and that people have a good time. I want them to be knocked out, actually.” Bad Company, with opening act Chilliwack, play Sept. 15 at Bullen Field. Concert time is 6 to 9 p.m. Tickets are $83.50 or $121 for VIP admission, available online at hightideconcerts.net, rmts.bc.ca; by phone at 1-888-222-6608 or at Ditch Records and Lyle’s Place.

The goal posts have been installed at Centeinnal Stadium as the UVic Vikes men’s rugby team hosts crosstown rivals James Bay Athletic Association in Vancouver Island Barnard Cup competition tonight (Sept. 13). Kickoff is 7 p.m. The Vikes have a promising squad to challenge for the Barnard Cup and provincial Rounsefell Cup title this year. But the Vikes will face the same challenges as previous years with players such as Nathan Hirayama, Phil Mack and Sean Duke committed to the national program for IRB International sevens, the IRB November test window for 15s, and the Langford-based Americas Rugby Championship in October. This weekend the Vikes will be without Hirayama, Luke McCLoskey, Shea Wakefield and Dustin Dobravsky, who all travel with the B.C. Bears to Ontario for a Canadian Rugby Championship match versus the Blues. The Vikes women’s rugby team visits Cowichan on Saturday, the first match of the Island’s senior women’s fall schedule. The Velox Valhallians men’s team hosts Castaway Wanderers at 2:45 p.m on Saturday while the Velox Valkyries women visit Nanaimo.
Sevens rugby success at UVic Vikes rugby players were scattered among three different squads of the Victoria International 7s finals on Saturday (Sept. 7). The soggy pitch of UVic’s Wallace Field held up enough to host some dazzling tries. Vikes Pat Kay scored two tries and Nathan Yanagiya scored once to propel the younger, fitter Canada Blue squad to a 38-0 Cup win and $5,000 prize over the older Serevi Selects. The University Selects, an unofficial Vikes team, won the Plate final 34-7 over Canada Black. Selects Jamie Mackenzie and Liam Murray each scored two tries in the Plate final. sports@vicnews.com

Tour supporters now Tour riders Sidney North Saanich RCMP reserve constables ready to fight childhood cancer Devon MacKenzie News staff
As with many Tour de Rock riders, the motivation for Terry Curry to get involved stems from personal experiences with cancer, including a battle of his own. Curry is the oldest rider on the tour at 66 and not only battled prostate cancer himself, after being diagnosed in 2005, but he also lost a brother to childhood cancer when he was young. “In 1965 I lost my 15-year-old brother to leukemia,” Curry said. “He was diagnosed in September and by June he passed away. There was no real treatment then, nothing like compared to now.” Curry said the memories of his brother and the thought of offering hope to children battling the same disease spurred him on to apply to participate in the Tour. “I had always wanted to ride in the Tour de Rock but events in my life just never lined up,” he said. Curry spent 29 years with the RCMP and retired in 2007, after which he began working as a reserve constable at the airport with the Sidney North Saanich RCMP. When those positions were cut this past spring, Curry began working with the RCMP’s South Island Integrated Marine Unit. He’s thankful the stars finally aligned for him to be

able to participate in the Tour. “I am working a few days a week doing that right now which has given me the flexibility to train for the Tour. I was lucky enough to be able to take off time in September and October for fundraising and the ride itself,” he said. Curry’s teammate from the Saanich Peninsula, also a reserve constable with the Sidney North Saanich RCMP, is Alan Neville-Rutherford. The two met through work connections, with Curry working as the RCMP reserve constable for the airport and Neville-Rutherford working for G4S, which handles airport security. Personal connections with cancer are also what spurred Neville-Rutherford to get involved.

“The main motivation for me to ride this year was that I had a cousin who passed away from lymphoma a year after being diagnosed,” Neville-Rutherford said. “We were very close. He had three teenage kids and was the same age as me so it was a real eye-opener.” Neville-Rutherford has been a member of the Sidney North Saanich RCMP auxiliary since 2006 and an avid supporter of the Tour de Rock for many years. “You could usually find me at the Thursday (Sidney) Night Market selling Tour de Rock T-shirts at the RCMP booth and people always asked me if I was the Tour de Rock rider,” he said. “I’m happy to be able to say that I am now, and I’m hoping to do every-
thing I can to raise as much as possible for the pediatric cancer.” The two teammates are training three days a week with the 19 other riders, and credit their trainers in getting them in top shape for the Tour, which begins Sept. 21. “Neither of us ever thought we’d be able to ride the speeds and distances we do. It’s really amazing how much the trainers have helped us and guided us,” Neville-Rutherford said. “Every day we ride it’s a new challenge but a doable one, when you think about what those kids go through. At the end of the day, it really comes down to that — supporting each other as a team so we can raise as much as possible for the kids.” reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

What’s the difference between a hairdresser and a barber? About $20. It’s a joke Happy Coxford shares with the men who fill the waiting bench of the Oak Bay Barber Shoppe. They all laugh and exchange a few stories, but there’s truth in jest. Coxford had been searching for a new hire to fill the second chair of his shop on Estevan Avenue – though he’s given up now. The trouble is Coxford is one of the few remaining old-school barbers in the city, and his true boys-club location is one of the last where men go to get a trim and, well, let off steam. “Most guys don’t know the difference between a good hair cut and a bad one, and they don’t care. They come in here because their wives told them to get a cut, and their wives will be the ones to say if it’s good or not,” Coxford says. What sets a barber apart, in reality, he says, is an ability to use clippers and understand the complexities of a short cut. Coxford makes it look easy as he steadily buzzes through a client every 15 minutes or so, all the while chatting and joking with the room full of waiting men. “I don’t let children in here, and do you know why that is? Because I don’t want their mothers in here,” he says with a laugh. “And I don’t cut women’s hair … we’d have to spend the first 15 minutes just talking about how it would make your cheekbones look, and I don’t
have time for that.” What Coxford might not tell you at first is that he left school at 15 and started cutting women’s hair in his 20s, after a short stint in construction work. He shifted into barbering in 1984, in an effort to find “the easiest blue-collar work I could,” he jokes. But, now 55, it’s clear Coxford takes pride in a job well done – a job that finds its success, he says, from 30 per cent location, 30 per cent haircut and 30 per cent personality. The final 10 per cent could just be laziness. “Even a bad barber will get Danielle Pope/News staff a strong clientele base if he Happy Coxford, right, has given up looking stays somewhere long enough,” for a new barber to team up with him at Coxford says an old barber Oak Bay Barber Shoppe, after discovering friend used to tell him. how hard it is to come by classically trained For the last five weeks, barbers.
