Making sense of immunology Dr. Brad Nelson, director of the Deeley Research Centre at the B.C. Cancer Agency, explains how immunology is being used to determine the behaviour of cancer cells and how a patient’s own immune system can help fight the disease. He was among the research team members invited to give more information about locallybased research activities, at the Westshore Chamber of Commerce monthly mixer at Saunders Subaru.

Off-kilter intersection getting much-needed attention Realignment, traffic signals in future for Goldstream Ave./ Leigh Rd. corners Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

The City of Langford is gearing up to take on the Leigh Road and Goldstream Avenue intersection. “We will be realigning the intersection and signalizing it,” said Langford’s director of engineering

Michelle Mahovlich, noting that some work is already underway. While it may sound simple, it’s not. “It’s a bit of a juggling act,” she said. That intersection is home to a number of existing underground and overhead utilities, including two large watermains, hydro ducts, sanitary sewer mains and numerous overhead service wires. “It’s not an easy switch,” she said. “We just have to design around them.” She noted the amenities in the area, such as sidewalks and bike lanes, will also

remain, with some adjustments to fit the new design of the intersection. The intersection will also include left turn lanes in all directions. “The cost is not an insignificant one,” Mahovlich said, adding the estimate for the project is approximately $1 million. With some investigative work done between Christmas and New Year’s to confirm the exact locations of some utilities, Mahovlich said they are ready to begin relocating utility poles. She anticipates BC Hydro will

be the first on site to begin moving their poles and lines, with that work estimated to begin in the next two to four weeks. With the utility poles being readjusted, the various service providers will also have to adjust their own lines without or with minimal interruption to their services. Mahovlich noted the City is trying to do all of this work in the least disruptive way possible to traffic. The strategy could include some night work, a situation for which the noise factor is being taken into consideration for neigh-

bouring residents. With this realignment also comes the permanent closure of Donna Avenue at Leigh Road, due to its proximity to the intersection. A new connection will be made between Donna and Hartsdale Drive, allowing vehicle access to Goldstream Avenue. Mahovlich noted that permanent connection will be established well before the closure, to get traffic flowing through the new route. PlEASE SEE: Roundabout a no-go, Page A4

A home in the 4100 block of Sooke Rd. was destroyed by fire following an early morning blaze Friday that completely engulfed the building. A single resident and two dogs escaped the fire, but there was no saving the home. “The house is a complete destruction,” said Metchosin Fire Chief Stephanie Dunlop. “(Even) power lines had burned through on the house and dropped across the road.” Because there are no hydrants or public water along that section of the road, water had to be trucked in to fight the fire. Crews from the Langford and Sooke departments joined Metchosin to battle the blaze. Once crews hit the fire with water it took approximately 30 minutes to extinguish the flames, Dunlop said. Firefighters remained on scene doing mop up and to keep watch for smoldering spots. “Most crews were out of here by 8 a.m.,” she said. The call came in at approximately 5:16 a.m. and temporarily closed traffic on Sooke Road in both directions. Dunlop said the fire originated in the kitchen but the cause was still undetermined at the time of the Gazette’s print deadline. “We wish to express our thanks to all of our mutual aid supporters, Sooke and Langford fire departments as well as B.C. Ambulance, RCMP and Mainroad (Contracting) for their assistance at this fire,” Dunlop said. alim@goldstreamgazette.com

LANGFORD COUNCIL NEWS

Fitness contest turning up the heat

Passing the buck on liquor licensing

Fire department rivalries help create healthy competition

IN BRIEF

Council needed clarification at last week’s meeting when it came to liquor licensing applications. In spring 2015, council directed staff to write to the province’s Liquor Control and Licensing Branch indicating the City’s desire to opt back into the liquor licence application review process. In response, the LCLB requested council state a preference for how it intends to provide public notification when it receives such applications. Unlike in the case of public hearings, there is no provincial legislation prescribing the notification process on liquor licence applications. Staff assured council they were not effectively opting out of the process again by leaving notification procedures up to LCLB to dictate.

Kudos offered to building inspectors

Coun. Lillian Szpak offered her appreciation to City staff members after council received year end (fourth quarter) reports from the City’s planning, land development and building departments. She noted specifically the building inspection department saw 329 single family dwellings approved and in some form of construction over the course of 2015. “I think that is well and beyond any year that we’ve ever had to date.” she said. “Kudos for all of the hard work.”

Kettle Creek Station road closures approved

Council adopted a bylaw that will effectively see portions of Kettle Lake Drive, Turnstyle Crescent and another unnamed road closed near the Kettle Creek Station development area. Staff are in the process of entering into a land exchange agreement with the developer, Romspen Mortgage Investment Fund, that will see this land disposed of for further development in the area. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

Five firefighters are running, lifting and sweating in a brightly lit workout room. Nestled into the corner of the Langford Fire Hall on Peatt Road, they crack jokes, offer up a friendly banter, exercising in blue t-shirts emblazoned with Langford Fire Rescue across their backs. For more than a month, these firefighters have been in competition mode, in a firefighter’s fitness challenge between themselves and (so far) the Metchosin, Sooke/Otter Point, Oak Bay and Sidney departments. They’re focusing not only on pumping water onto fires, but also pumping iron in the gym. “In a time when most of us are a little lax on our fitness, (this) really encouraged us to keep up to date on our fitness throughout Christmas and beginning of the new year,” said Assistant Chief Chris Aubrey. “We record how many hours we’re doing the fitness activities and compare notes with the rest of the departments and see who wins at the end of the day.” Aubrey, one of 15 Langford firefighters who stepped up to the plate when the Metchosin Fire Department put the challenge forward, said there was more interest than spots available and the benefits were many. “If we’re able to work together as a group and improve, collectively, the fitness level of all the local fire departments, then we’re all going to be able to provide a better service,” he said. “To have really fit, well-trained firefighters in your community to help you out in your time of need is certainly going to be an asset and a benefit to the community.” The challenge, which involves

Baker is one of 15 members of Langford Fire Rescue who are taking part in a fitness challenge featuring a number of area fire departments, including Metchosin. 60 firefighters, is a “healthy competition” in more ways than one, Aubrey said, pointing to the good work being done by staff and volunteers in the neighbouring Metchosin department. “I know that they have really been working hard over the past couple years. They have a new gym in their fire hall and they’ve been encouraging their members to get more physically active,” he said. “It’s great to see them take that momentum in their department and spill it over to other departments that are interested in getting involved.” That enthusiasm not only rekindled an interest in fitness in Langford members, it fuelled their competitive spirit. “They want to win,” Aubrey said of his workmates. “Healthy competition in this regard is good, and it is a healthy competition

because it is for our own personal health … It’s more than bragging rights.” Metchosin Fire Chief Stephanie Dunlop said WorkSafe requires forms of fitness and wellness programs. And in a profession where heart attacks are one of the number one causes of death, a high level of fitness is key. “We could be walking up a big hill with a hoseline and that is a huge exertion. Ninety-nine per cent (of volunteer firefighters) work a full day and now they get a call at 2 a.m. during rest, and all of a sudden their body is forced into action,” she said. “That’s a lot of stress on the body and the more fit they are, the less stress on their body and heart.” Dunlop has noticed a difference in herself, feeling stronger when she is first on the scene and forced to climb up areas, she is

no longer as out of breath and is more able to stay focused on the task at hand. “The bar is set high for fitness in our department now and everyone has jumped on board. It’s not just being in the gym and bulking up,” she said. While she believes the program benefits everyone from the firefighters and their families to the communities, she offered up a friendly note to the other departments involved. “People always want to win and that’s why we set up this challenge, so we can compete and encourage other departments … especially when you have mutual aid department like Langford,” she said. “It’s going to be really heartbreaking (for a larger department like them) to lose to a little department like us.” alim@goldstreamgazette.com

The City of Langford has begun the initial stages of realigning the Goldstream Avenue and Leigh Road intersection. The City considered a roundabout for the site, but decided against it for two reasons: the intersection is dominated by north-south traffic on Leigh Road, and too much land would be required to accommodate truck traffic.

Any residents impacted by these changes have been notified by the City. “There’s a lot of different pieces in the schedule,” she said. “It’s kind of a domino effect.” With construction scheduled to be completed by the end of August, just in time for the new school year, Mahovlich hopes that estimate is a conservative one. “We

When we drive, we make most of our decisions on the basis of visual cues: the position of other vehicles and pedestrians, traffic lights, signs, hazard warnings etc. Good vision is crucial to safe driving. Vision for driving involves more than the ability to read the letters on the eye chart (central vision): Peripheral vision, depth perception and colour vision are all important factors which influence our judgment while driving. The Motor Vehicle Branch tests these visual skills when we first apply for a driver’s license. This screening is not a substitute for a full eye examination by a Doctor of Optometry who can prescribe corrective lenses or other treatment, if necessary, and evaluate the health of the eyes. Our eyes change in subtle and gradual ways as we age. We may not realize our vision has gradually deteriorated to a level that does not meet the legal and safe requirements for operating a motor vehicle. In many cases, the solution may be as simple as, new prescription lenses. Glare is a common problem to most drivers when the sun is low in the sky ahead and when the road surface is wet and shiny. Sunglasses may help, along with cleaning your windshield. Another cause of glare may be cataracts, which can develop as we age. This cloudiness in the lenses of the eyes can cause an increase in sensitivity to light in the early stages. Your optometrist can advise you about tinted lenses to reduce glare and continue to counsel you as the cataracts develop. Regular eye examinations determine if your vision is good enough for safe driving. You owe it to yourself and everyone else on the road to make sure that you are seeing well and reacting to situations as quickly as possible.

Do a little dance Belmont dancers thrive in school’s new theatre Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

Dancers from Belmont secondary including Caitlyn Cote (right) Ashley Griffiths, Bryana Pauwels and Kallista Newby performed last Saturday in a by-donation recital at the Belmont theatre.

When she is stressed out, Ashley Griffiths likes to dance. The Grade 10 Belmont secondary student said she and more than 80 students bared their souls while wearing their dancing shoes at a recent recital in the school’s newly minted theatre. “When you are dancing you kind of just block out everything and you just think about yourself and what you are doing as you’re dancing,” she says. “So you don’t really focus on anything else, (just) your body and your moves and how you’re feeling at that moment.” With exams coming and the stresses of being a high school student rising, 15-year-old former Spencer middle schooler turns to the dance. “Some people read, some people take a break, but for me when I dance it kind of relaxes me. It helps me out ... and I don’t have to worry about other things,” she says. “But you definitely have to prepare yourself physically. You have to be ready emotionally for when you go on stage … (But) it doesn’t matter what other people think, it only matters how you feel.” Four classes danced three numbers each in what Griffiths called a celebration of dance in the school’s 300-seat theatre at last Saturday’s recital. Instructor Lesley Conway, who returned to lead her fifth year of dance at the school, says being part of that program is a big commitment for students. But everyone involved, from those who dance every day to those new to dancing, have been working hard. “Dance is one way that really helps students (see) that there is another part of life you can do just because you enjoy it,” says Conway. “Especially in school, a lot of school is math and science and they can come to dance and express themselves with movement.” The class has been popular, prompting the addition of an extra block next semester. Not only that, it has provided students with a positive environment, promotes the arts, healthy living, being active and having a positive self image says Conway. “I have seen a huge improvement in most of the dancers in the program.” She says her students worked hard to prepare for the recent show and really focused their efforts this month. alim@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

Cancer research in our backyard Members of the West Shore Chamber of Commerce, including staff from the Gazette, were treated to an amazing presentation last week on the goings-on at the Victoria-based Deeley Research Centre, an integral part of the B.C. Cancer Agency. The research being conducted by a team of professionals led by Dr. Brad Nelson, laid out by him in easy to understand terminology, offered us hope that a natural treatment for ovarian cancer and other forms of this disease is within sight. Hearing Nelson describe advances being made locally in immunology, the study of the body’s immune system, gave a sense that one day soon patients will have the capacity to kill off potentially deadly cancer cells with a natural, drug and radiation-free solution located in their own bodies. Written here by a medical layperson, such an idea might sound as if we’re hawking some unscientifically proven solution much like the countless cures marketed on the Web. But this is real science, and it’s important that people be made aware of the groundbreaking work taking place right in our own backyard. To give an idea of just how respected and thorough Nelson and his team are, he was recently awarded a major grant to continue this work, beating out a medical research team from Harvard University, among others. All this is to say that if you are considering places to donate your money for long-term good, the B.C. Cancer Foundation, which helps fund the research centre, might not be a bad place to start. Donor dollars will get the research being done there over the hump – in other words, treatments being studied will move from the laboratory testing stage to become a standard of care funded by the B.C. Health Ministry. Dave Saunders, whose car dealership hosted last week’s event, is a staunch supporter of the Foundation and presented Nelson with a $1,000 cheque courtesy the Saunders Family Foundation. Cancer has or will affect all of us, in one way or another. It’s nice to know work is being done nearby that will, likely in many of our lifetimes, diminish the chances that one or more types of the disease will strike in our own families. What do you think?

But the notion that marijuana might be sold next to beer and vodka in government stores deserves sober second thought, and serious scientific work of the kind that has shown damage to developing brains from teenage marijuana use. Of course all of this urban handwringing over pot stores ignores the de facto legalization that has existed across B.C. for decades. The Nelson Star had a funny story last week about a local woman’s discovery on Google Earth. Zooming in on area mountains, one finds not only the Purcell landmark Loki Peak, but also Weed Peak, Grow Op Peak, Cannabis Peak and Hydroponic Peak. Whatever the source of this cyber-prank, it could also be applied to other regions of B.C. For the record, I’ll restate my long-standing position that legalization is the only logical answer. I’ll say the same about other drugs that drive most B.C. crime, but that’s a subject for another day. Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

LETTERS Belmont mall planners could learn from German experience Re: Early plans for Belmont shopping centre available (Gazette, Jan. 20) With bare land one can create an attractive shopping centre. I hope the planned road running through it is not meant for cars. I have seen the most attractive shopping centre in Germany, the Ingolstadt outlet village, where the cars are parked outside the shopping centre right behind the stores. The stores are located all around and there are benches and planters

Crews work on the demolition project at the former Belmont secondary site on Jacklin Road. With a major commercial and residential development in the works for the site, one reader hopes the designers will bring a European flair to the mall and have parking around the outside of the shops rather than in the middle.

in the centre and one does not have to walk the distance as is the case at Millstream Centre, for example. That turned out to be unattractive with all the parked cars in the centre. A shopping development like Ingolstadt would more or less look like an indoor mall, but on the outside the stores itself are nice, village-style buildings with gables etc. Let’s do something different when we start from scratch.

Eco-protector spokesperson’s claim of independence curious given Sierra Club’s history Re: Sierra Club fights back for forest protection (Letters, Sept. 20) Mark Worthing’s claim that the Sierra Club of B.C. is “entirely independent” is interesting. Greenpeace took legal action to protect its name against copycats – does the Sierra Club not do the same against people trading on its earned reputation? Note that the B.C. website uses the same logo as the Canadian and U.S.

websites, and that sierraclub. org states the organization has chapters in Canada and the U.S. (it is named for the Sierra Nevada mountains). Worthing’s claim that the majority of British Columbians support his views should be investigated. A common tactic of eco-activists is to claim they speak for people they’ve never asked about their views. Another is to claim that Fletcher is a

shill for right-wing governments or businesses, which if true would be like the pot calling the kettle black given the number of eco-activists who are just regurgitating someone else’s fantasies. (For example, David Suzuki revealed on Australian TV that he had little knowledge of the temperature databases behind the climate alarmism he parrots.) And Worthing does

not understand wildlife, most of which does better in the vegetation that grows up a few years after logging. It’s akin to the “interface” shrubbery that tribal people here created by felling Garry oak trees to create the meadows his friends worship, so they could harvest animals

and birds living in and eating the shrubbery, and plants like Camus lily that grew in the open areas. I doubt those early farmers had people like Worthing around – they’d offer him a choice of eating or dying by starvation. Keith Sketchley Saanich

Skate park conversation turns to the political Advocacy group seeking support from municipal councils Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

With renewed energy and enthusiasm, proponents of a new skateboard park for the West Shore are making their rounds to the five councils in hopes of garnering support at the municipal level. The first presentation, to View Royal council last week, elicited positive comments from Mayor David Screech and his fellow councillors, winding up with an agreement to send a letter of support to West Shore Parks and Recreation and the other municipalities. “Culturally, this isn’t the battle of skate park creation that happened in the early to mid-90s,” said Westshore Skatepark Coalition spokesperson Jimmy Miller, a skater himself and a longtime advocate who once lobbied Victoria council to loosen skateboarding rules downtown, in an interview later. “Skateboarding … is something that is ever present. We have people such as ourselves that are parents of future users, but also, grandparents are out there skateboarding.” With much of the mystery around skate park activities such as boarding, BMX biking and inline skating a thing of the past, he said, this campaign comes down to finding people keen on “helping this user group be facilitated, it’s as simple as that.” Miller said a recent progress update and information session, held for potential park users and other supporters, went well and elicited some new ideas. Part of the session saw attendees encouraged to write their dream vision for a new park on a large

Grizzlies extend streak to six BCHL victories

B.C. champion coach brings game to Westhills

Exhibition vs. Red Bull Salzburg tonight

Shane Beatty brings football success with Okanagan Sun to Westshore Rebels Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

Changes to personnel and the coaching staff haven’t dented the Westshore Rebels’ B.C. Football Conference record – they’ve gone 2-8 the past three seasons. What has improved the past two years, however, are the club’s reputation as a good place to play and the shedding of its label as a home for entitled athletes. That upward trend was witnessed last week when Rebels head coach and general manager J.C. Boice confirmed that Shane Beatty, former head coach of BCFC champion Okanagan Sun, was joining the Rebels coaching staff. “I could not be happier … he is a fantastic coach,” Boice said. “He knows the game extremely well, is highly competitive and really loves kids.” Beatty, who won the BCFC coach of the year award the past two seasons and won the 2015 Canadian award after leading Okanagan to the Canadian Bowl, will serve as assistant head coach, strength and conditioning coach and director of player development. The former Victoria Payless linebacker (he played here in 1988-89 before joining the Sun) and the Kelowna-based Sun are said to have parted company by mutual agreement. “I’m extremely excited to get these kids going; we’re going to turn this place around and we’re going to become number 1,” Beatty said in a YouTube video posted by the Rebels. The new board of directors, led by president Doug Kobayashi, who is also West Shore Chamber of Commerce board president, played a big part in convincing Beatty that Langford was the place to be. “After meeting with the Rebels president, I am 100 per cent certain we are in good hands,” Beatty said. “It’s time to rock the Rebel Red!” For his part Boice, who last fall was named GM on top of his coaching duties, likes the “huge change in vision and direction” of the club.

Courtesy Westshore Rebels

New assistant head coach Shane Beatty is excited about joining the Westshore Rebels junior football club for the 2016 season.

“I’m really excited with the new board and the continuity we’re creating,” he said. “The new board has a strong business acumen.” A new arrangement sees Boice overseeing football operations while Kobayashi directs the business and sponsorship end of the club’s activities. From a football perspective, the team is poised to have its best recruiting class ever, Boice said. And a new partnership with PISE in Saanich will see the club locate its strength and conditioning centre there. During the off-season last year, the coach spoke of the dream to create a dedicated Rebels workout space. “I’m excited to grow that partnership.” More than 40 players are eligible to return for 2016 and many of them, as well as some newcomers, are in town getting a head start on their conditioning – at this time last year barely 20 were doing winter workouts together, Boice said. Also, a new football specific athlete development program designed by Boice and Beatty to prepare younger players will start March 1 in Victoria and on the West Shore. For the Rebels, it’s about making moves forward and being prepared to do what it takes to win football games now and down the road. “Our goal is to win a national championship,” Boice said, acknowledging that may not be realistic for a couple more years. “With the coaching changes and other things we’re doing, our expectation is to compete for a BCFC title this year.” For more information about the Rebels, visit westshorerebels.ca. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Wednesday, January January 27, 27, 2016 2016 -- GOLDSTREAM NEWS GAZETTE Wednesday,

Shamrocks get going on signings for 2016 Key Mann Cup players inked for Western Lacrosse Association season Victoria Shamrocks general manager Chris Welch is breathing a bit of a sigh of relief after getting a deal done to keep the Western Lacrosse Association club’s two first team all-stars and a key defenceman in green-and-white for another year. Mann Cup most valuable player Cory Small, fellow WLA all-star Jesse King and defender Tyler Burton are the first three signings for the defending Canadian champions. “It’s great to have three of our core players signed at this early stage of the year,” Welch said in a release. “All three of these players played key roles for us last year and will continue to be big contributors going forward.” Small, 28, was a model of consistency last season, his sixth in the WLA. He won the league’s points race with 33 goals and 79 points in

18 games and chalked up a leaguehigh 40 points in eight WLA playoff games. He later racked up 25 points as the Shamrocks beat the Peterborough Lakers in six games for the Mann Cup. Instant star King, a 23-year-old former Juan de Fuca lacrosse player, proved his mettle in his first full season in the WLA last year, scoring 31 goals and totaling 64 points in 16 games. He added 18 points in the WLA playoffs and another 14 in the Mann Cup. He earned the respect of his clubmates and the team, winning the club’s George Blackstock Memorial Award as MVP, and the Chris Hall Award for the player with the most competitive spirit. Burton, 27, returns for his fourth season with the team and is known as a force to be reckoned with on the back end for the Shamrocks, as well as being a top faceoff man. Tickets for the 2016 season, which gets underway in May, are on sale now. Visit victoriashamrocks. com or call 250-478-ROCK(7625). – files from Lucas Wilson editor@goldstreamgazette.com

The Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League schedule hasn’t been kind to the Westshore Wolves as they fight to avoid a first-round playoff matchup with the vaunted Victoria Cougars. The Wolves, sitting fourth in the Island Division, lost by identical 6-2 scores last week, at home against the Cougars on Jan. 20 and in Campbell River to the North Division leading Storm on Friday night. Westshore was due to play the Storm again last night (after the Gazette’s print deadline), but can gain some ground tomorrow night when they host Kerry Park. The Islanders began the week second in the South but sit just four points up on the Wolves. Game time is 7 p.m. at The Q Centre.

Chuck Pusateri stands outside the Hillside Seniors Health Centre, which houses courses for cardiac health put on by the Heart to Heart program.

Courses get to the heart of the matter Heart to Heart open to region’s heart patients, including those on the West Shore Dan Ebenal Black Press

WOW!

they were going through. The course costs $40 for an individual and $60 for a couple for the seven sessions. “It’s not just for people that have had a heart problem,” said Pusateri. “We have some people in the class who know they have a family history of it and are trying to prevent a heart attack.” For more information on the program, visit the website www. islandhearttoheart.ca. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

View Royal resident Richard Letourneau drives along Watkiss Way, passing the new Eagle Creek Village development almost every day to get to his home. He says the traffic control persons have been doing an amazing job in not only ensuring safety for workers, but also in keeping traffic moving. If you’ve got a photo from the West Shore and want to share it with our readers, the Goldstream News Gazette can help with that. Every week, we publish our pick for Reader Photo of the Week.

When Chuck Pusateri had a heart attack, questions whirled through his brain. The 41-year-old father of three had no health problems when the heart attack struck, leaving him wondering about changing his diet and how he exercised, how he could reduce stress, whether he should change jobs and just how much longer was his life going to be. “There was just a whole myriad of things that went through my head.” Pusateri found many of the answers through Island Heart to Heart, an organization he’s still associated with 22 years later. “In fact, I did change jobs to some extent and I did start exercising differently and I did start looking at food differently. I sort of started a journey over the last 22 years,” said the Saanich resident. Island Heart To Heart operates out of the Hillside Seniors Health Centre attached to the Aberdeen Hospital, passing along information on the program to cardiac patients at Island hospitals. “We know that there’s a lot of people who are missed because we don’t get to them in hospital or they don’t hear about it from their doctor so we’re trying to go out to the public and let them know it’s there,” said Pusateri, a director with Island Heart To Heart. The program hosts a series of seven twohour classes, offered 10 times a year. The classes feature talks from cardiologists, pharmacists, dieti-

cians and others to help provide insight on living with heart disease. “People learn things to help themselves,” said Pusateri, who underwent his third heart surgery back in October. “After five days you leave the hospital and the hospital is very proud to have got you out in five days. But then you get home and you have a recovery – sometimes a long, painful recovery – and you start to look at, what do I do with the rest of my life, what’s the rest of my life going to be like, what can I do to help myself so that I never have to go through that again?” Pusateri said the courses provide skills and coping mechanisms as well as answers to many of their questions. “Some people have never done any physical activity, they don’t know one side of a rec centre from another,” he said. “How to eat, they’ve been eating the same way for 50 years, how do they become vegetarian? It’s just beyond them. But we kind of get them started through these classes, to pick out some things they can do to change their lives a little bit.” He said the class of 30 or so people is also likely the first time many have been in a roomful of others who understood what
