News Over 400 attend Dunsmuir Lodge Tour guides were kept hopping Sunday as over 400 people toured an open house at Dunsmuir Lodge to encourage participation in univ- ersity extension programs. A majority of the University of Victoria extension courses offered in the spring at Dunsmuir are now at Capacity registration but plan- ning for the future was also an important part of the open house, Peninsula Friends of the Universi- |x ty member Martha Franklin said. A questionnaire was circulated to all visitors with an information sheet on the various activities taking place at Dunsmuzr, she said. “We hope it will allow us to tap into what people want,” she said. Holding university extension courses during the evening was one thing some visitors who work full-time commented on. “People I’ve talked to are inter- ested in taking courses but work during the day,” she said. “It’s got a great potential for serving lots of needs. The questionnaire asked: “What changes would you suggest to make programs more accessible?” It also asked questions about scheduling, programs and subjects. University extension staff is expected to consider suggestions during its fall program scheduling. Double standard While public servants are no longer allowed to smoke in gov- ernment buildings, Finance Minis- ter Mel Couvelier (Saanich and The Islands) continues smoking in his office in the Parliament Build- ings. Actually, the ban on smoking in government buildings has never been made official, but aside from the finance minister, employees appear to obey the “request” not to smoke. Meanwhile, Health Minister John Jansen says anti-smoking efforts should be concentrated on children’s access to tobacco prod- ucts. About 40 per cent of young people who smoke, started before age 12, Jansen says. ee ox Four-legged fugitive finds home Two weeks after coming in from the cold — and after evading the Sidney RCMP for nearly a month — a four-legged fugitive has found a new home. Victoria SPCA executive direc- tor Lynn West said a 250-pound pig that’s been in the society’s custody since earlier this month was adopted Jan. 21. Before he showed up at the SPCA facility it took a couple of attempts for SPCA officers to catch him, while the RCMP were also on his trail, too. Since the North Saanich owner of the docile beast didn’t want to pay the fee to have Mr. Pig ~ returned, a new home had to be found for him, West said. So, an extra careful screening process took place because some would-be adopters seemed to have “ulterior motives” for getting their hands on him, she said. “People were looking for some- thing to put in their freezer,” she said. But the new owners, who live in The Reform Party of Canada Saanich Gulf Islands WE WANT NEW MEMBERS INOW! JOIN THE PARTY OF THE FUTURE Phone Andy 658-1043 or 658-4744 the Highlands, seem very sincere about making Mr. Pig a family pet. “He was loaded into a horse trailer to go to his new home yesterday, but not without protest. Pigs can be very stubborn at - times,” she added. Perhaps the reason he was reluc- tant to leave was that he had made himself quite at home at the shel- ter, where he seemed to get along well with the dogs there. “He was very sociable and good-natured and by the time he left he probably thought he, too, was a dog,” West said. “But he also literally eat us out of house and home.” Proving to be a very bright animal, he escaped from his pen on a couple of occasions to raid the food storage area. “Once we found him ankle deep in dog food and eating to his heart’s content,” she said. West is relieved to see the back of Mr. Pig, who will now be using his ingenuity to plan midnight food raids somewhere else.
