Accountants Kidstart champions Chan Nowosad Boates Chartered Accountants staff want to make a difference in the community.

That’s why they decided to sponsor a child in KidStart.

KidStart is a volunteer-based mentoring program offered by The John Howard Society of North Island.

This award-winning program connects vulnerable children and youth ages 6-18 with positive adult role models in Campbell River and the Comox Valley.

“The staff members at Chan Nowosad Boates are proud to support a program that provides mentoring and guidance to children in our community,” said Julie Chenard, a Chartered Accountant with the firm.

KidStart depends on donations, grants, and fundraising.

The staff team at Chan Nowosad Boates committed to a KidStart Champion Gold Sponsorship.

JHSNI is inviting other groups and individuals to take part in its KidStart

Champions fundraising campaign.

Becoming a KidStart Champion is simple—you choose from three levels of monthly sponsorship (Gold = $100/month, Silver = $50, Bronze = $25). Gold covers the entire cost of a child’s participation in KidStart.

After you have pledged to sponsor a KidStart child, you will receive a welcome package that includes details about KidStart and the child you are sponsoring.

Children’s identities are protected to maintain privacy.

All donations will receive a charitable tax receipt.

“We are thrilled that the staff at Chan Nowosad Boates have decided to pool individual monthly donations to add up to a KidStart Champion Gold Sponsorship,” said JHSNI Executive Director Wendy Richardson. “It’s a fantastic way to help out a local child.”

JHSNI is encouraging

sponsorships from individuals, workplaces, groups of friends, families, or other groups.

Metabolic syndrome – #1 public health Issue in Canada One out of every four Canadians is speculated to be in the early stages of developing metabolic syndrome, prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes.

The conventional approach is diagnosisdriven and until a precise diagnostic code is given to the patient, there is no treatment plan.

In the functional medicine or naturopathic medicine approach, the “underlying dysfunction” or ‘tolle causum” (causes) are identified and a multipronged treatment approach is initiated.

Metabolic syndrome

was first termed “Syndrome X” by Dr. Gerald Reaven, MD, a Stanford University endocrinologist more than 30 years ago.

Simply put, it is a disorder of human physiology that if untreated, eventually leads to type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis.

In 2002 (JAMA vol; 287:356-359), the definition was further clarified that for a person to be diagnosed with metabolic syndrome, they had to meet three of the following criteria: triglycerides greater than 1.7, HDL cholesterol less than

Then in 2004 a follow up article in JAMA (vol; 292:28232824) added two more criteria: increased clotting tendency and low magnesium.

Normal insulin metabolism regulates the production and storage of sugar (glycogen) in the liver, it is anti-inflammatory and stimulates the production of nitric oxide which relaxes blood vessels and lowers blood pressure.

The mechanism of metabolic syndrome starts with insulin resistance when normal insulin pathways are disrupted and more fat gets stored inside the cell instead of being stored as glycogen.

As fat builds up inside the cell, the mitochondria (the energy producer of all cells) becomes less efficient. This results in the activation of inflammatory

lifestyle intervention reduced the incidence of type 2 diabetes by 58 per cent whereas Metformin reduced the incidence by 31 per cent.

This means that if a patient, average age 51, has a HgA1c (average blood sugar over 3 months) of 6.8 (not diabetic yet) and is prescribed Metformin, that same patient has the choice to exercise 150 minutes per week,(or 21 minutes per day) in order to increase muscle mass and lose seven per cent of their weight over 2.8 years and have a 27 per cent better outcome than if they had just taken the Metformin alone.

There is certainly a place for the use of Metformin as a stop gap measure or in the lowest dosage possible to control blood sugars.

The goal is to avoid prescription medications if at all possible.

In a future article I will review a naturopathic treatment program used with a patient to lower the risk factors for metabolic syndrome.

Gifted with pen and camera From Page 10 followed him from the river. Brandt recalls it had been “absolutely quiet” that day while he sat on a bench above the river.

“I couldn’t see him,” he said of the cat. “I heard these robins excitedly calling.

I looked over my shoulder, and couldn’t see anything. I walk into the house and closed the door. Then I looked out. At first I thought it was a deer — that’s the path they come up — but there was a cougar. And it stayed around for a while.”

Using a digital Canon Mark 3 with 200-mm lens, he snapped a picture of the approximately 15-foot cougar, which promptly fell asleep in the shade underneath a tree at the bottom of the backstairs.

“There’s no vibration, so I can get pretty good shots,” said

Brandt, whose face and physique bely his age. “I always have a camera in the van, so if I see something I photograph it.”

Brandt started out by using a “simple camera” when he took a photography course at Cornell University in New York, from where he obtained a bachelor of science in ornithology. But he is mostly a self-taught photographer, as was his father.

“It’s an art form, I think. It’s interesting.”

Brandt became an islander in 1965.

A year later, he was ordained to the Catholic priesthood at the Canadian Martyrs Church in Courtenay, which is now a theatre.

He was mandated to live the life of a hermit priest.

“Which is pretty unusual,” he said.

“I came from the Trappist Monks, that’s a Benedictine order.

Everybody knew

about the hermits on Vancouver Island from all over the world.

It was a group that wanted more solitude that you couldn’t find in the big order...I came from New Melleray Abbey (Iowa) to join the hermitage on the Tsolum River — when the mine was going in on Mount Washington.”

As a member of the Hermits of St. John the Baptist, Father Charles first lived in a cabin he constructed near Headquarters Creek in the Tsolum River watershed before moving his hermitage to the banks of the Oyster River. Prior to moving to Canada, Brandt had served as a navigator with the U.S. air force during the 1940s. He later graduated with the aforementioned BSc. and a bachelor of divinity from Nashotah House, a theological seminary in Wisconsin.

“I’m not just a hippie copping out of society,” he said with a chuckle.

Every couple of years or so he will pack his van and journey south of the border to visit family and friends.

Besides his skill behind the lens, Brandt is also gifted with the pen. His published books include Meditations From the Wilderness and Self and the Environment.

He is also the subject of a chapter entitled A Hermit of the Rivers, which appears in the Stephen Hume book A Walk with the Rainy Sisters.

Hume, a writer for the Vancouver Sun, was among a crowd

Another Happy Ford Country Customer

that squeezed into a Campbell River church in 2007 to celebrate Brandt’s 40th anniversary as a hermit priest. Hume writes: “Brandt represents an ancient tradition of wise men and women withdrawing from the world, the better to reflect upon how best to serve God.” Amen.
