Penny pinchers

CONTINGENT ON reinstatement of passenger service. BY NIOMI PEARSON THE NEWS BULLETIN

News Bulletin’s annual Pennies for Presents campaign kicks off today BY JENN M C GARRIGLE THE NEWS BULLETIN

There’s no longer a reason to pinch your pennies. Last spring, the federal government announced it will eliminate the penny from Canada’s coinage system and the Royal Canadian Mint will stop circulating pennies in February. The penny’s days are numbered and a good way to get rid of the currency is to donate them to the Nanaimo News Bulletin’s annual Pennies for Presents campaign. While the penny’s burden to the economy has grown relative to its value as a means of payment – it costs the government 1.6 cents to produce every new penny – the Pennies for Presents campaign

offers a solution for people looking to rid themselves of the copper coins and help out a good cause at the same time. “One of the reasons for the campaign’s success is that it’s so easy to participate,” said Melissa Fryer, managing editor. “Everyone has some spare change and that adds up to a lot.” The campaign raises money for three charities that benefit children in Nanaimo – the Great Nanaimo Toy Drive, the Salvation Army and the Boys and Girls Club of Nanaimo. These organizations ensure no child is left emptyhanded on Christmas morning.

Since its inception in 1996, the campaign has raised almost $154,000 in Nanaimo. Schools and businesses are important partners as well as local residents, who bring in their loose change in recycled coffee tins, plastic bags and by the water cooler bottle. Pennies for Presents kicks off today (Nov. 15) and will continue until Dec. 21. During that time, donations of all denominations – from pennies to $100 bills – can be made at the News Bulletin office at 777 Poplar St. or a community drop-off location. ◆ See ‘SMALL’ /4

A request for funding from the Island Corridor Foundation received preliminary approval by the Regional District of Nanaimo. During its committee meeting Tuesday, board members, with the exception of Dave Willie from Qualicum, approved a $945,000 one-time, grant-in-aid, contingent on the foundation’s ability to produce a commitment from VIA Rail to reinstitute passenger service along the Vancouver Island rail corridor. The grant-in-aid would be an addition to the 2013 budget and cost homeowners approximately $3.12 per $100,000 in assessed home value. The money is part of a $20.4-million price tag the foundation has slated in its business plan for railway upgrades that would allow a daily passenger service to run between Courtenay and Victoria, originating out of Nanaimo. Approximately $14.5 million of that balance is funded by federal and provincial grants announced earlier this year. Five re gional districts, including the RDN, were asked to provide $3.2 million to get work started on the upgrades.

Three districts approved their portion of the contribution: Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District, Cowichan Valley Regional District and the Capital Regional District. The Comox Valley Regional District has yet to vote. The foundation’s business plan indicates it will pursue financing from lenders for $2.2 million of the remaining balance, and Southern Railway of Vancouver Island, which would operate the passenger service under contract with VIA Rail, has committed to pay the final $500,000 of the balance. According to Graham Bruce, the foundation’s chief operating officer, the $20.4 million will provide money for replacement of one in every four rail ties and bring the track up to safety standards to allow rail service for the next 10 years. “The plan behind this is that you have the passenger service running for that 10-year window, which allows the freight company to go and build on other opportunities,” he said. “At the end of 10 years, if there hasn’t been substantial improvements in rail service, in people utilizing it – either from the public sector or for freight or tourists or excursions, whoever will be here is going to have to make the decision.” Bruce said money would provide an opportunity to turn things around for rail on Vancouver Island. ◆ See ‘DIRECTORS’ ‘ /4

Court denies bid to remove landuse restrictions

Mounties nab sex offender

an average passenger load of about 14, he added. “Break-even load factor would be in the mid-20s,” he said. Green said he sees opportunity in those numbers. The application to provide service was submitted in October, and he is hoping the decision will be made jointly with Greyhound’s application. “They’re a larger company with higher overhead where a local company such as Tofino Bus, we use a mixed fleet of mini buses and motor coaches depending on the passenger loads,” he said, adding, “Our maintenance shop is here on the Island, so for a local company, the ridership that exists is quite strong.” Jeannie Blaney, CAW Local 114 representative, said the union is concerned about the proposed cuts. She said Greyhound should look at alternative ways to cost save, such as more effective advertising and cost-efficient buses. “Greyhound has a social responsibility to not only take on the more profitable runs, but perhaps some of the notso-profitable ones,” she said.

A Nanaimo landowner was denied his bid to have a restrictive covenant on his property declared invalid by the B.C. Supreme Court last week. The legal action, filed against the Regional District of Nanaimo, follows an injunction obtained by the RDN in April barring the landowner, David Bruce Buck, from further removal of vegetation from a 30-metre portion of his Jingle Pot Road property. On Nov. 2, the court dismissed his case and has ordered the resident to pay court costs to the regional district. According to court documents obtained regarding the injunction, Buck alleged the covenant is invalid because it is not in compliance with the Farm Practices Protection (Right to Farm) Act and the Agricultural Land Commission Act section 22 (2). “The [official] reasons aren’t yet in the public record, but the court disagreed with the rationale behind it,” said Tom Armet, RDN’s manager of building, bylaw and emergency planning services, of the legal action. “It’s now up to the regional district to provide the courts with the costs incurred and the courts will decide on the amount of cost that will be awarded back to the taxpayers.” Armet added that the regional district is not aware of any active farming occurring on the property. The portion of land in question is located in the area known as Shady Mile. Given the environmental sensitivity of the land, which included second-growth trees, the RDN registered a covenant on the property when the Benson Meadows subdivision was created in 2005, Armet said. In 2009, Buck offered a donation of the covenant area to be used as parkland to the RDN in exchange for their support with a subdivision application filed with the Agricultural Land Commission, after his first application was denied. The portion of land did not fit the district’s criteria for parkland, nor was it in keeping with the Official Community Plan policies, and the offer was therefore declined, Armet explained. In 2011, the RDN responded to two complaints of a ‘substantial amount of trees’ being cut in the covenant area by the property owner, and issued a cease-and-desist order. The property is currently subject to the court injunction and the regional district is seeking further action to have the property remediated or compensated for damages occurred. Attempts to reach Buck were unsuccessful.

Intersection intercept

Firefighters assess if there is damage to a Volkswagen camper van’s propane system following a collision with a Dodge pickup at the intersection of Haliburton and Farquhar streets Wednesday. The crash happened at about 11:30 a.m. and sent the female driver of the Volkswagen to hospital for observation. The driver of the pickup truck was uninjured. Neither vehicle was carrying passengers.

Company aims to fill service BY NIOMI PEARSON THE NEWS BULLETIN

A Vancouver Island transportation company seeks support from residents regarding an application sent to the B.C. Passenger Transportation Board last month that would allow the company to service transit cuts proposed by Greyhound. Tofino Bus, a privately owned bus company running from Victoria to Tofino, is looking to expand its service to Courtenay and Campbell River. “With their proposed cuts, we’ll lose most of our connecting schedules, so after they make their cuts, we’ll have less passengers able to connect to our service to Tofino,” said Dylan Green, owner, Tofino Bus. “We’ve been a daily bus for 10 years so we’re well able and ready to pick up the schedules eliminated by Greyhound.” Greyhound Canada has applied to the B.C. Passenger Transportation Board to reduce services on 15 B.C. routes in the hopes of eliminating $2.2 million in operating kilometres across the province.

Last year, the company reported a loss of $1.4 million on scheduled passenger operations. The application has gone through the public feedback process and a decision is still pending. “Greyhound is making the cuts because we’re losing money on the trips. There isn’t enough ridership to support the frequency that’s there,” said Grant Odsen, regional manager of passenger services for Greyhound (B.C.). The proposed cuts would eliminate one out of two scheduled daily round-trips from Nanaimo to Campbell River, and weekend service between the two destinations. The cuts would also affect one of four daily round trips between Nanaimo and Victoria. According to Odsen, average daily loads for the 5107 out of Campbell River show an average of 20.8 passengers while the 5117 weekend service shows an average load of 8.1 passengers. In the other direction, the 5118 out of Nanaimo shows an average load of 11.8 passengers. The round-trip route proposed for cuts from Victoria to Nanaimo shows

3956 Victoria Ave.

A sex offender on the run from police in the U.S. was caught by Mounties in Nanaimo this morning. Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman, said the fugitive had been on the run since police in Springfield, Ill., issued a warrant for his arrest Aug. 12. The 49-year-old male suspect – the RCMP have not released his name yet – was arrested without incident in a home on Cranberry Avenue in south Nanaimo at about 8:30 a.m., based on information received from U.S. law enforcement. “Now we’re working with U.S. officials, police in Springfield, Ill., and Canada Border Services Agency because we have to look at what offences, if any, he committed by entering Canada,” O’Brien said. “He’s quite a predatory sex offender. He’s on parole out of Minnesota for sex offences.” O’Brien did not know how long the suspect had been in Canada prior to his arrest.

Directors optimistic on rail

www.bclocalnews.com

◆ From /1 “What we’ve been able to do, is to attract Southern Railway to be the railway operator so that you have a professional organization, not railroad romantics, not people who are working off the back of a napkin, but people who actually know how a railway runs, and works, and what’s required to make it run and work,” said Bruce. Discussion on the Island Corridor Foundation proposal took up two hours of the meeting, as directors asked questions of Bruce. The board also heard delegations from two members of the community opposed to the funding request, as well as an endorsement from Andre Sullivan, of the Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation. Directors were cautiously optimistic about the proposal. Area F director Julian Fell said he planned

to support the request to allow the process to continue, but may change his mind when the board makes its final decision at its next regular meeting on Nov. 27. “I wonder if we’re being led into a black hole,” he said. Nanaimo Mayor John Ruttan also supported the funding request. “Some point we have to make some tough decisions in politics, and to me, this is one of them,” Ruttan said. “Let’s give this a chance, I think it will work and I think it could get more cars off the road.”

Driver service seeking volunteers for program

Hiker hitches ride to safety An intensive air and ground search for a lost hiker on the weekend ended after the hiker caught a ride with a truck driver on an abandoned logging road. The search started Saturday after the hiker, from Nanaimo, called 911 at about 8 a.m. and said he was lost in a remote area we s t o f D o u m o n t Road. Police contacted his family who confirmed the hiker had been camping with four friends, so police then called the camping companions, who were unaware their friend was lost. Search and rescue teams from Nanaimo and Parksville were called up, along with police dog services and an RMCP helicopter from Comox, and a search started at 9 a.m. Just past 1:30 p.m. the hiker met up with a truck driver on an abandoned logging road and hitched a ride to the search command centre where he was reunited with his family.

THE NEWS BULLETIN

The holiday season is fast approaching and with it the start of the 17th annual Operation Red Nose campaign in Nanaimo. The program, hosted by PacificSport Vancouver Island, is a designated driver service intended to get people – and their cars – home safely from festive celebrations. “You don’t have to be drinking to use it, but it’s for drinking and driving,” said Liza Taylor, marketing and communications coordinator for PacificSport. “Last year we had just over 200 volunteers and we drove home over 1,600 clients in the Nanaimo area.” She said organizers are looking for volunteers to man the phones as well as get behind the wheel when the service starts up Nov. 30. The service is available on Friday and Saturday nights every weekend throughout December and also on New Year’s Eve between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. The area of service runs from Ladysmith to Lanztville. Red Nose volunteers go out in teams of three to pick up clients – one drives the client’s car to

Students go Gangnam-style for contest BY JENN M C GARRIGLE THE NEWS BULLETIN

A music video parody of the popular Gangnam Style song by PSY earned Dover Bay Secondary School students a chance to win technology upgrades for the school. In just three short weeks in October, Dover Bay students and staff produced their own music video for the annual Flip Your Classroom – eInstruction Classroom Makeover Contest. Last week, students lear ned that their submission is one of five shortlisted in the high school category from dozens of entries across Canada and the United States. To improve their chances of winning the grand prize of $30,000 worth of software for the school, students are hoping to get as many votes f ro m t h e g e n e r a l public as possible at http://flipyourclass room.einstr uction. com.

Clockwise from left: Cast and production crew members Hannah Yang, Melissa Kahan, Michael Bamford, Shane Roberts, Nicholas Croome, Mike Craven and Taylore Gonsalves show off the numbers of online votes, Facebook likes and views of Dover Bay Secondary School’s Gangnam-style video entered in the 2012 Flip Your Classroom contest.

“[The contest] looked really exciting and the other thing I thought it could do for us is raise the spirit of the school,” said business education teacher Denise Montgomery, who found the contest and pitched it to her students. Sponsored by eInstruction, a global education software and technology company, the contest challenged students and teachers to produce music

videos demonstrating how technology makes learning fun and collaborative. Students were enthusiastic about the project and the chance to win cutting-edge instructional technology, such as electronic whiteboards and student response systems, for their school, said Montgomery. “The kids understand that we need to upgrade things, fix things and repair

things, but we just don’t have the funds in the education system right now,” she said. A core group of about eight students, with help from Montgomery and dance teacher Tina Roberts, wrote, directed and produced the video and about 300 students from 14 classes learned the dance moves and participated in the filming. “It was a lot of work before school, after

school, at lunch, on weekends for about three weeks,” said Montgomery. “If they worked after school into suppertime, we fed them. Everybody just agreed to go with their strengths.” She said one of the things this contest has taught students is that they shouldn’t be afraid to try things and if they want to go for something, they should. Shane Roberts, a Grade 10 student who wrote the story board and then directed the music video, said students were blown away by the popularity of the video – 30,000 people viewed it on Day 1 of the contest. “I never thought it would go this far,” he said. “The students lear ned that when we get enough people together, we can create something worthwhile. This video b ro u g h t eve r yo n e together. People are excited about it.” Roberts said Dover Bay does not have any of the products the winning school will receive, but even if the school doesn’t win, the project has already boosted school spirit. reporter3@nanaimobulletin.com

EDITORIAL

Railway taxes can’t continue At first glance, restoring passenger rail service on Vancouver Island is a positive move. A well-run service would ease pressure on the heavily-used Malahat Drive and provide a more environmentally friendly transportation option, getting residents out of their cars. But a lot of questions still don’t have answers, including whether the service is even viable on the Island. RESIDENTS The Regional District of Nanaimo gave preliminary NEED to approval this week to know ICF a request by the Island won’t come Corridor Foundation for a asking for $945,000, one-time, grantmore money. in-aid, contingent on ICF’s ability to produce a solid commitment from VIA Rail to reinstate the passenger service. The money is part of $20.4-million for railway upgrades that would allow a daily passenger service to run between Courtenay and Victoria. The RDN is one of five regional districts asked to pony up so work can get started on the upgrades. Three have already approved their portion of the contribution. On top of regional district contributions, the provincial and federal governments have kicked in $15 million collectively, the rail operator is paying $500,000 and the foundation would pursue financing from lenders for the remaining $2.2 million. The ICF is asking taxpayers to invest in passenger rail, but the question remains whether the Island has enough people willing to use this service to make it a viable business venture in the long-term. And is this the end of the money train? Current funds would bring the track up to safety standards for the next 10 years, but then what? The foundation needs to show this is a solid business, one that taxpayers won’t be continually asked to subsidize.

How about logging impact? Cohen concludes after much testimony that stream protection has improved significantly during the time of observed sockeye decline. Impact from extra runoff due to pine beetle infestation couldn’t be evaluated. Poaching on the Fraser River? Cohen looked at that, but his biggest concern was climate change, warming sensitive river waters and affecting ocean conditions. During the Cohen Commission hearings, the 2010 Fraser sockeye run came in gangbusters, with 35 million fish. One leading theory is that ash from an Alaska volcano fertilized the ocean, producing algae that supported more salmon feed. Could it be that salmon ranching from Alaska, Japan and elsewhere is simply depleting the food supply? That too is inconclusive. Finally, Tides Canada, a U.S. front group that diverts attention from U.S. salmon and oil tankers, spent $25,000 to publicize Cohen evidence. But only as it relates to B.C. salmon farms, and how bad they are. ◆ Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Only one chance to save planet To the Editor, Re: Canadians smart enough to build a safe pipeline, Letters, Oct. 25. I am puzzled by people like Garry Bradford, Jim Corder, Tom Fletcher and David Black who think the economy is more important than breathing clean air and living in a non-toxic environment. Man-made pollutants are irreversibly damaging to every living creature on Earth, not just the brainwashed, ignorant or greedy that are for these projects. We only have one planet and one chance to make this right. My roses and mums are re-blooming in November – we can no longer ignore warming. Canadians are smart enough to switch to sustain-

able energy with wind and solar power. We should be growing hemp in our backyards to use as a bridging fuel to put in our bio-diesel

cars that are easily converted from gas engines thanks to the subsidies collected through the carbon tax as it was meant to be. There are

lots of jobs associated with sustainable energy, so the employment issue is a moot point. Germany is already harnessing the sun’s clean energy for its residents so there is no excuse for this toxic and earth contaminating greed. Anybody out there care about their offsprings’ future? There will not be a safe environment to reside in if action is not taken ASAP. Wake up Canada, do not let apathy and greed ruin it for everybody. If the present regime (Stephen Harper) wanted to make clean money he would tax and legalize marijuana and all the safe byproducts made from this healing miracle plant. Nikky Davies Nanaimo

Readers respond: Feedback on news items Reports of violent acts barely mention victims To the Editor, Re: Animal cruelty charge earns jail sentence, Nov. 10; Assault nets suspended sentence, fine, Nov. 6. In the last few days, I have seen two stories in the News Bulletin involving domestic violence in our community, yet neither even remotely notes that these incidents were related to violence against women, sadly perpetrated by young men. One story, about a man taking a hammer to his girlfriend’s dog, is only all too familiar to us in that violence against family pets is often threatened in domestic violence situations, and often becomes one of the reasons women are reluctant to leave the family home. Our local SPCA has been extremely helpful to us in a number of cases where they have temporarily taken in family pets in situations where this type of violence is an issue. The second story was about a pregnant woman assaulted in a vehicle and hanging from the car while it was moving at a fair speed. Pregnancy, as research tells us, is a clear risk factor in domestic violence situations. I want to commend the man who decided not to be a silent bystander, and instead acted to prevent further violence from happening. Anne Spilker executive director Haven Society

Real heroes of conflicts refused to participate To the Editor, Re: Veterans owed our respect, Letters, Nov. 10. People who kill other people do not deserve respect. They are not heroes. The hero will be the first one to shout “No, I will not kill my brother for any reason.” Let those who demand sacrifice be the first to volunteer. Politicians, capitalists, royals, go to it.

Disrespectful behaviour never leads to solutions To the Editor, Re: Facing the heat, Nov. 8. Is there not a disconnect between the message and the method when a group of protesters disrespectfully hurtle insults at someone with whom they disagree, while also calling for the government to respect the environment and our nation? How can we demand respect in a non-respectful way? If the current Conservative government wishes to circumvent Canadian laws as a result of enacting the Canada-China Foreign Investment Agreement, the least we can do is to respectfully listen to their arguments, however much we may disagree. If we wish Canada and the environment to be respected, we must lead by example. Ian Gartshore Nanaimo

Court system, politicians must protect animals To the Editor, Re: Animal cruelty charge earns jail sentence, Nov. 10. There is just a tad bit of comfort in the sentence Matthew Dean Tremblay earned for his horrific crime against King, a helpless dog.

There is also comfort in knowing we do have judges (too rare) who recognize the suffering of animals and are prepared to sentence accordingly. I offer a differing opinion to Lorie Chortyk’s remarks that “it’s good to see society taking it seriously and our courts taking it seriously.” Society generally has always taken such atrocities seriously – it is politicians and the courts who haven’t. Seldom is a perpetrator sentenced to the full extent our weak animal laws allow. Thank you, Judge Ted Gouge for recognizing that animals do feel pain. Tremblay is a young, dangerous individual and besides serving him up the same treatment he gave King, I suggest community work and anger management courses should have been added to help him experience compassion before it is too late. His real target was his then-current girlfriend. Who will it be next? Shirley Lee Nanaimo

Shopping centre hours dishonours all veterans To the Editor, On the bottom of page 3 of the Nov. 10 News Bulletin, a north Nanaimo shopping centre ad sports a picture of poppies and reads “Lest We Forget.” Under that it reads, “Sunday, November 11, Mall Hours 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.” Yes, it states that “major stores may have different hours,” but could mall administration not show the respect of years gone by when nothing opened until noon on Remembrance Day? Unless they’re having a service at the mall, the very fact that the mall chooses to open at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month wipes out the forgoing Lest We Forget. In this day and age, when numbers of Second World War veterans are dwindling, recent veterans are not being recognized and reports are all veterans are being shortchanged in their post-service care requirements … it’s more important than ever we show them our support and respect.

Residents lose trust in council, media over serious issues To the Editor, It is distressing to listen to and read the disrespect shown to people of Nanaimo by our leaders and our news media which almost always unfailingly upholds the status quo. Everything from Snuneymuxw First Nation Chief Doug White’s attempts to address his people’s concerns with treaty violations and the Protection Island folk and general public’s dismay with the Nanaimo Port Authority giving a 30-year lease of our boat basin, to people’s objection to smart meters and city council’s plan to demolish Colliery Dam Park have been dismissed contemptuously by our leaders and now both major Nanaimo newspapers. We, the people, don’t trust them anymore. About anything. They don’t have our best interests at heart, like they’re supposed to. In the News Bulletin’s editorial of Nov. 8 (Canadians big on U.S. vote), we are chided for paying more attention to the U.S. elections than our own – and get a big parental fingerwag that we should get caught up with as much “fever” in the election “show” here. Sometimes silence

means a lot more than apathy. It can mean total discouragement with an entrenched old boys’ network of cronyism, such as we seem to have in Nanaimo. It doesn’t help to have our newspapers do nothing more than reflect the same message: we, the people are wrong. We are told to sit down and shut up. The failure to communicate is our fault. Perhaps all our clever leaders and media intelligentsia fail to notice the underlying message of all this protesting. Bit by bit, the public has grown distrustful. Too many times council has made terrible and expensive decisions with how it chooses to use our taxes. Yes, we paid a lot of attention to the U.S. elections. Barack Obama won because the voiceless – women, gay people, the youth, the poor and the minorities have at last been heard. We are the new majority. So perhaps these pompous, old, rich men that call the shots around here should shut up and start paying attention to that. Justyna Katelnikoff f Nanaimo

Nanaimo’s lower gas costs still among tops on Island To the Editor, Re: Lower gas prices a sound of silence, Saturday Reflection, Nov. 10. I found Chris Hamlyn’s commentary about lower gas prices a little silly. Why be thankful to our local gas stations that have finally lowered their prices to a reasonable level comparable to those on the rest of the Island? They have made plenty of money gouging us when all other gas stations across North America were dropping their gas prices to record levels in the past month or

two. And then ....raising their prices an eye-popping 12 cents overnight just because it was Thanksgiving long weekend. Sorry, I just can’t find it in my heart to be grateful. Now if the Nanaimo gas stations, which are still near the top of gas prices being charged on Vancouver Island, were to lead the country – or even just the Island – by having lower prices than anywhere else, I will be the first person to write in a letter of thanks.

More effort needed to bring nature back to urban centres Have you ever thought about the grass that grows in sidewalk cracks? These hardy plants are generally written off as undesirable. They’re routinely trampled, savaged by extreme summer heat, washed out by rainfall and buried by winter snow. To survive these conditions is a testament to the plants’ resilience, but they rarely get much love

or attention. That’s why I’m intrigued with the work of Nova Scotia researcher Jeremy Lundholm and his team at Saint Mary’s University. They’ve been examining plant species in sidewalk cracks and other nooks and crannies in Halifax. Their research demonstrates something simple and surprising: hardy species

found in these environments are similar to those occupying nature’s own inhospitable spaces – steep cliffs and barren rock slopes. While the connection between pavement and cliff face isn’t immediately obvious, it makes sense. Plant species that succeed in sidewalk cracks have similar qualities to ones that have adapted to

inhabit crevices in exposed, rocky, windswept places. In a recent article for The Nature of Cities, ecologist Eric Sanderson suggests we try to “conceive of cities in their entirety as ecological spaces.” Sanderson says looking at the built landscape of our towns and cities this way allows fascinating comparisons: steep cliff and tall sky-

scraper, parkland and meadow, gutter and stream. The urban environment contains numerous ecological niches that have analogues elsewhere in nature. And within this complex urban ecosystem, species are constantly adapting. The Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute’s Migratory Bird Center found their subjects

’Staches raise cash for cancer cause BY CHRIS BUSH

THE NEWS BULLETIN

CHRIS BUSH/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Kevin Arnold, left, owner of SportsBarbers, gets set up to give his dad Tim, a prostate cancer survivor who has donned a fake moustache for the cause, a few grooming tips to prepare for the shop’s Movember moustache contest to raise money to fight the disease.

Contact the Bulletin You can reach the News Bulletin 24 hours a day by e-mail:

editor@nanaimobulletin.com

Behind the face of every man, and even some women, is a great moustache screaming to come out into the light. With prostate cancer being a bit of a hairy topic for men, Nanaimo participants are sprouting a great crop of cookie dusters for Movember, when guys across Canada, around the world even, raise cash to fight prostate cancer. Some of Nanaimo’s mo’s of magnificence will be harvested for donations at SportsBarbers, located at 3-4906 Wellington Rd. “We’ll be having a Movember wrap-up party Nov. 30,” said Kevin Arnold, business owner. “There will be prizes in three categories: the Ulti-

mate Mo, Old College Try and Best Movie Star Look-a-like.” Call it upper lip plumage, face fungus, your misplaced eyebrow, soup strainer or just a plain old mo’, the moustache is being wielded as a front-line weapon in the battle against prostate cancer. The Canadian Cancer Society says prostate cancer has been on the rise since 1980, probably due to increased early detection, but death rates rose much more slowly and actually started declining in the 1990s. On average, 73 Canadian men are diagnosed with prostate cancer and 11 men will die of it every day. It’s the most common cancer, next to nonmelanoma skin cancer, among Canadian men. One in seven men will

develop prostate cancer in his lifetime. One in 28 will die from it. W h e t h e r yo u ’ r e going for the maxedout machismo look, a full-bodied Borat or just a dash of ‘stache you can also cash in with your mouth muffler at the Elephant Room which is hosting Movember Photos, a

photo shoot happening Nov. 28. Cost is $10 and all proceeds will support Elephant Room’s Movember fund benefitting Prostate Cancer Canada. For more information, check it out on Facebook at www. facebook.com/events/ 215911041875950/. For more informa-

Artwork brightens up new ER BY BRUCE PATTERSON Zoë Kazeil Brown had a straightforward goal when she created her ladybug painting to hang in the new emergency department of Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. “It’s happy. I thought it would make people smile when they’re not feeling well,” said the eight-year-old Nanaimo artist. Brown, a Grade 3 student at McGirr Elementary School, is one of 15 central Island artists whose paintings, photographs, carvings and ceramic works were selected to brighten the new ER which opened Oct. 1.

PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

“Each piece of art displayed throughout the emergency department comes from local artists and is a reminder every day of why we come to work. The theme of inspiration is seen in each piece and will make you smile,” said Suzanne Fox, director, emergency service and trauma care at NRGH. “This beautiful facility is a true testament of being built by the community and for the community.” Brown has been painting with her grandmother, Nanaimo artist Chris Kazeil, for four years, said her mom, Shauna Kazeil, clinical coordinator – pediatrics at NRGH.

“We decided to submit Zoë’s ladybug along with her grandma’s piece, Bollywood, as we thought it would be a really cool legacy if they were both accepted. We’re proud of both the talented artists in our family,” said Kazeil. Other artists, whose works were chosen in a competition open to central Vancouver Island residents, include: Robert Adams – Old Duckbill Whiles Away the Afternoon; Frank Armich – Tree of Life; Deborah Daffe – Qualicum Beach; Yolanda Hailey – Cross-legged Driftwood; Gittan Klemestrud – Grounded; Nancy Marshall – Laughter is the Best Medicine; Liz McK-

night – Gabriola View; Sheila Norgate – Fido; Michael Poyntz (prose)/ Craig Carmichel (photograph) – Redemption; Jackson Robertson – Whale; Sarah Catherine Shaw – On Board; William Stockman – Love Heals Too; and Woodlands Secondary pottery class – West Coast. Photography in the psychiatric intensive care unit and in the psychiatric emergency services area was created by participants in the I SPY Photography Program. The program recognizes art as an important medium for expression and serves as an avenue for recovery in the lives of many clients.

Opera explores themes of racism, bullying BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN

tephen retur ns home from school, his clothes torn and his face bloody from a pounding by school bullies. He doesn’t know why he’s been targeted. As a young Japanese-Canadian, Stephen is unaware of the turmoil boiling around him, which will soon lead to him and his family losing everything they own and being sent to an internment camp in Slocan, B.C. Stephen is one of the characters in Joy Kogawa’s novel Naomi’s Road. That tale has been adapted by the Vancouver Opera and being presented in Nanaimo as part of TheatreOne’s Just Kidding Series on Saturday (Nov. 17) at the Malaspina Theatre at 1 p.m. The story details the experiences of Naomi, a young Japanese-Canadian girl, and her family during internment in the Second World War. Sam Chung, a tenor with the opera, plays Naomi’s older brother Stephen. Chung said the production explores issues such as bullying, racism and the history of Japanese-Canadians. “The story is so compelling,” he said. “It’s such a privilege to put this together and get it out to

the children. This really is one of the most special pieces I’ve done.” Chung said the messages and the production is so

engaging that sometimes “there are five year olds that are just glued to you.” Chung said the piece is performed in schools and

teachers have approached the performers after to thank them. The story teaches the children about important issues from a

child’s viewpoint. To ensure the performers understood the how true to life Kogawa’s novel is the Vancouver Opera arranged

for them to meet and talk to Japanese-Canadians who lived in the camps. Chung spoke to Aki Horii. “It was amazing. His experience was so similar to my character’s,” said Chung. During the Second World War more than 21,000 Japanese-Canadians were ordered to leave a “restricted area” designated by the Canadian government under the authority of the War Measures Act. According to Citizenship and Immigration Canada, they were forced to move 160 kilometres inland to camps in B.C’s Interior and along the Alberta border. In the early 1980s the National Association of Japanese Canadians mounted a campaign to receive acknowledgement for the acts of the Canadian government of the day, review the War Measures Act and Charter of Rights and Freedoms and receive compensation. According to the Centre for Constitutional Studies, in 1988 Minister Brian Mulroney made a formal apology and presented a compensation package to Japanese-Canadians that were affected during that time. Tickets are $14 and available at www.theatreone. org. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Craig Cardiff performs at the Tabu Lounge Sunday (Nov. 18).

Cardiff tweaks songs onstage ◆ From /18 Cardiff was recently nominated for the Canadian Folk Music Awards Contemporary Singer of the Year Award. He’ll learn if he received the honour the day before performing for Nanaimo fans. Cardiff said there is a truth of being in front of people performing music. He said if it doesn’t resonate with you or capture the audience then that’s an indication that it needs revising. During his performances he tweaks his work. His newest album Floods and Fires, chronicles his experiences of celebrating parenthood and the balance between heartbreak and joy. During his Nanaimo performance Cardiff will play a mix of unreleased work and songs from his latest album. Tickets are $20 and are available at www.craig cardiff.com or at the lounge.

Open house highlights art Two Nanaimo artists want to celebrate and share the vibrant mix of performing and visual art in the city’s downtown core. Bonnie Catterson, owner of Kismet Theatre Academy, and Yvonne Vander Kooi, owner of Bird Studio, are hosting an open house Saturday (Nov. 17) in their studios, located at 55 Victoria Rd., from 3-7 p.m. T he open house event dubbed Bird meets Kismet features live entertainment, paintings and works in progress, theatre demonstrations by Kismet Academy students and an interactive art zone. Catterson, an actor, dancer, choreographer, writer and director, graduated from the Canadian College of Performing Arts and has taught dance and theatre around the province. “I love storytelling, and more importantly, I love encouraging others to tell their stories – to take the brave and bold steps with their creativity and to surprise themselves,” she said in a press release. “Art is transformative and it connects us to one another.” Vander Kooi is a painter and muralist who has lived and worked on Vancouver Island for 15 years. She has exhibited her work in Toronto and Nanaimo and has taught various arts programs. “I have always loved painting and drawing large scale figurative work and am fascinated by colour, particularity its capacity to convey powerful emotions and responses both about the subject and for the viewer,” she said in a press release. “I am influenced by expressionism, a movement that celebrates colour and its connection to the human psyche.”

Acrobats glide to symphony beat

PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Cirque de la Symphonie performer Vladimir Tsarkov works his magic with rings during a show.

Above the heads of Vancouver Island Symphony musicians, aerialists and acrobats will dance and twirl in the air this Saturday. Their graceful and daring movements will keep in time with the music, which will be regulated under the careful guidance of Pierre Simard, the artistic director for the Vancouver Island Symphony. The performance, Cirque de la Symphonie, is a melding of the Vancouver Island Symphony’s musical talents and the strength and power of the cirque dancers, gymnasts and acrobats. Christine Van Loo, a mime and juggling artist, said in a press

dŚĞ ƌŽŚŶ͛Ɛ ĂŶĚ ŽůŝƟƐ &ŽƵŶĚĂƟŽŶ ŽĨ ĂŶĂĚĂ WƌĞƐĞŶƚƐ͗

release that performing alongside a live orchestra is “much more powerful than performing to recorded music.” “It feels free, empowering, exciting,” she said. Simard said in an e-mail that one of the challenges of having aerialists flying above the heads of musicians

is ensuring they keep focused on the music. “We can’t afford to let ourselves be distracted by the very high-quality, heartstopping events taking place on stage,” said Simard. Yet, combining art forms is also rewarding said the conductor. “This artistic blend is quite simply one of

the most spectacular in the industry, right now,” said Simard. Cirque de la Symphonie has two performances on Saturday, 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tickets range from $18 to $84, depending on seating location, and are available at the Port Theatre box office, by calling 250-754-8550 or www.porttheatre.com.

Shootout stings Mariners I VIU SOCCER earns silver at nationals. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

T he VIU Mariners played great soccer and earned a medal at nationals. But it wasn’t the ending they wanted. Vancouver Island University’s men’s soccer team was defeated by Ontario’s Humber Hawks in penalty shots Saturday night in Coquitlam to end the Canadian Colleges’ Athletic Association championships. The game was 2-2 after regulation, and the score held through a half-hour overtime, leading up to the tie-breaker. Four out of five shooters scored for each team, leading to a sudden death shootout. VIU’s eighth shooter of the night had his attempt stopped, Humber scored, and the match ended. “Today wasn’t our day, unfortunately,” said Bill Merriman, coach of the M’s. “I feel bad for our guys. You always feel bad for the players because I know they blame themselves but it’s 50-50, you’re taking your chances whenever you go to penalty shots.” Humber came out faster to start the game, but M’s keeper Robbie Cochrane made some early saves and VIU got a scrambly goal from Romaie Martin against the run of play about 10 minutes in. That held until the 45th minute, when Humber snuck one

in inside the left goalpost while a VIU player was down on the pitch, hurt. Humber went ahead about 15 minutes into the second half on another goalmouth scramble, but from there, VIU began to take clear control of the play. The Mariners were rewarded in about the 75th minute when Jamie Taylor was left alone on the left side of the box and

slotted it home. VIU’s Jordan de Graff made a fine solo effort and ricocheted a shot off the post with three and a half minutes left in regulation, and the M’s had the best chance of overtime, too, when a Hawks player headed a Mariners free kick off his own crossbar. “Overtime was completely us the whole time. Shots off the post,

chances on chances, we just couldn’t quite finish it...” said Dan Cato, VIU fourth-year defender. “Guys were unlucky not to score, their goalie made some good saves, they played some good defence and that’s what they needed to do to get themselves in the shootout because that’s all that they were trying to do at that point was get out of it alive, give themselves a

chance in the shootout.” In penalty kicks, Stephen Ewashko, de Graff and Taylor scored, Matt Mehrassa missed, then Martin, A.J. Kambere and Davis Stupich scored before Cato’s high shot was saved. “Shootout seems like the worst way to end a game like that,” Cato said. “It’s pretty much a coin flip.” ◆ See ‘VIU’ /B5

Hockey League club swept a home-andhome series against the Caps, winning 2-1 in double overtime on Friday at Frank Crane Arena and then winning another 2-1 game Saturday in Duncan. “Our team’s pretty good at grinding out wins right now,” said Colton Dahlen, who was the overtime hero on Friday. His goal came on the 55th shot of the night as the Clippers kept steady pressure and seemed to play calm and cool all the way through even though they never led the game. “Clearly we played a strong defensive game…” said Jayson Argue, Clippers goalie. “It was only a matter of time before we got one to finish it.” Reid Sturos won a puck battle behind the Capitals goal and got the puck out to Dahlen, left alone in the slot. The Clips outshot the Caps 10-3 in the two overtime frames. It was the third time already in November that Nanaimo has played overtime. ◆ See ‘CLIPS’ /B2

Redmen lose; season’s over

HOME GAME

The Nanaimo Redmen couldn’t have had a much tougher firstround playoff opponent, and an upset wasn’t in the cards. The city’s Vancouver Mainland Football League midget team lost 36-3 to the Coquitlam Falcons on Sunday on the road. The Falcons have only lost by default this season, never on the field, and on Sunday they took control early, recovering onside kicks on their first two kickoffs. “They really came prepared and fired up,” said Sean Roden, coach of the Redmen. “Not that we played poorly, we just got overwhelmed at first.” Spencer Vos kicked a 25-yard field goal for his team’s only points. After a second-quarter injury to starting quarterback Dylan Tucker, the Redmen played an extended stretch of wildcat offence. For the full story, visit www.nanaimobulletin. com.

Nanaimo Clippers goalie Jayson Argue makes a save and his teammates including Austin Dick, middle, clear the puck out of danger versus the Cowichan Valley Capitals on Friday at Frank Crane Arena.

Clips keep finding ways to win ◆ From /B1 “Overtimes are starting to get as comfortable as first, second and third periods, almost; we’ve been playing them so much lately,” Jayson Argue joked. The team is understanding what works in four-on-four and three-on-three hockey. “You’ve got to be the team that’s on attack, because anything can happen in overtime,”

Colton Dahlen said. The Clippers have now won four in a row, six of their last seven, and have earned points in seven straight games. They don’t plan to relent. “We’ve got to be even better,” said Dahlen. “We’ve got to hold ourself to a standard.” I C E C H I P S … Tay l o r Grobowski was Nanaimo’s other goal scorer on Friday and Argue made 38 saves for the win

… On Saturday, Mason Mitchell and Greg Fraser scored goals and Argue finished with 26 saves. He is the BCHL’s Player of the Week … The Clippers visited the Alberni Valley Bulldogs Wednesday after press time. They play Friday (Nov. 16) and Saturday against the Langley Rivermen and Victoria Grizzlies, respectively, in 7 p.m. starts at Frank Crane Arena.

VIU raises banner, raises its game I WOMEN’S V-BALL wins home opener against Capilano.

Colleges’ Athletic Association champions took one more look back at last season, then Mariners coach Shane Hyde sent out a carefully thoughtout starting lineup. “I purposely put our entire team that had played last year on the court,” he said. “I think they deserved that.” The gesture meant a lot, said Sandra Veikle, VIU libero, and she said the banner raising was emotional. “It just brought so many memories of so much success and hard work, and how hard work can pay off,” she said. It also set a tone for the match that followed.

BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

Some fond memories helped invigorate the VIU Mariners on the volleyball court. Vancouver Island University’s women’s volleyball team won its home opener on Friday night at the VIU gym, defeating the Capilano Blues in straight sets following a pre-game banner-raising ceremony. The defending Canadian

“I thought the Capilano team didn’t really put much of a fight back to us tonight,” Hyde said. “They’re a young team walking into this gym, with that kind of a presentation to start the match off is a little intimidating. But we also dictated the match from the start.” VIU won by scores of 25-19, 25-12, 25-13. The next day the Mariners also won in straight sets but with closer scores of 25-23, 25-22, 25-22. Leanna Gildersleeve led her team in that match with 11 kills. The M’s men swept the Blues on the weekend, too,

winning in five games on Friday, 21-25, 25-23, 19-25, 25-20, 15-9 and then in straight sets Saturday, 25-8, 25-18, 25-20. Tory Zaytsoff was VIU’s go-to guy on offence both days, with 20 kills in Friday’s win and 19 kills in Saturday’s rematch. GAME ON … The Mariners volleyball teams play at their home gym again this coming weekend with matches against Fraser Valley on Friday (Nov. 16) and Saturday. On Friday the women play at 6 p.m. followed by the men at 8 p.m. and Saturday’s matches are at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Bulldogs win with physical football I AA VARSITY team moving on in playoffs.

BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

The Barsby Bulldogs are moving on after a dominant start to the post-season. John Barsby Community Secondary School’s AA varsity football team took care of the Holy Cross Crusaders 57-14 on Friday at Merle Logan Field. “I thought we came out intense,” said Rob Stevenson, Barsby coach. “We blocked well, we tackled well most of the time and it was good playoff football on our part.” The Bulldogs built up a 36-0 halftime lead. The fast start was something the ’Dawgs had been focusing on, said Dexter Shea, Barsby wingback. “We came out with an attitude that we needed to strike, we needed to be the ones setting the tempo and the tone,” he said.

GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Barsby Bulldogs wingback Brandon Parker gains yardage for his team during Friday’s 57-14 playoff win over Holy Cross at Merle Logan Field.

Even though the Crusaders were beaten, they ke pt playing until time ran out on their season, forcing the Bulldogs to try to keep up the intensity all game long.

“We always like to preach four quarters,” said Shea. “[The Crusaders] didn’t come here to lose. They have a lot of Grade 12s, like we do, and we expected them to put

up a fight like we put up a fight.” Playoff football took its toll, unfortunately, as Barsby wingback Brandon Parker suffered an ankle injury. Parker was the offen-

Meet Gail.

sive player of the game for Barsby’s junior varsity team at last year’s Subway Bowl provincial championship and was the AA varsity team’s leading rusher this past regular season. “It hurts a lot spiritually,” said Stevenson. “We all hurt for our teammate, our friend.” Shea had a mammoth game with five touchdowns, three along the ground and two on passes from quarterback Brody Taylor. Taylor also threw a TD pass to Dylan Sanford and Duc Truong and Jacob Odynsky had Barsby’s other majors. GAME ON ... The Bulldogs play the Pitt Meadows Marauders this Saturday (Nov. 17) at 3 p.m. in a neutral-site game at the University of British Columbia.

VIU’s soccer team comes oh-so close

◆ From /B1 “I’ve never liked penalty shots and I’ve been on both ends of them, more than once,” said Bill Merriman. “I would like to see players play till they drop and finish it on the field.” The M’s very nearly did finish it on the field, and the coach said looking back on the game, maybe there were a couple of balls that went into the six-yard box that his players could have got to. But Dan Cato said there’s no point thinking about those what-ifs. “Congrats to [Humber] for playing good defence and holding on, but if we do it again, it might not go down like that,” he said. Some of the M’s are already talking about trying to get back to the big stage, said Merriman. He said he feels for the graduating fifthyear Mariners, because he knows how badly they wanted to win, but some of them have now won gold, bronze and silver over the past three seasons. And whatever the colour of medal they brought home to Nanaimo, the M’s will know, themselves, how they stacked up against Canada’s best college soccer teams. Leaving the frosty pitch, Cato indicated the silver medal hanging around his neck. “One day I’ll be very proud of this,” he said. “Just not now.” SOCCER TALK ... Cato, Jordan de Graff and Matt Mehrassa were selected to the tournament all-star team.

wheels Citadel fortifies Dodge’s Durango lineup

2012 MODEL boasts all-wheeldrive ability. BY ROB BEINTEMA

PHOTO SUBMITTED

The 2012 Dodge Durango Citadel, seen here in top-of-the-line trim version, expands on last year’s all-new construction with new trim and powertrain tweaks adding to the overall content and qualities of a full-size seven-passenger SUV.

Which added slightly to the confusion, due to the Citadel badging. That, and just the general air of distinction surrounding this upgraded ver-

shield, smooth styling and sleek lines of the Durango combine for a more modern interpretation than the fenderbulged awkwardness of

the previous generation. “Nice,” he concluded. Yes, it is nice. Stunning in fact. When the all-new Dodge Durango was

The guy at the grocery store parking lot seemed both noticeably puzzled and fascinated. His Ram pickup was parked nearby, so he had picked up on a few of my tester’s Dodge cues, but the model identity was escaping him as he circled around the front of the vehicle. This latest third generation version of Dodge’s biggest SUV only debuted last year, so it would be understandable if he hadn’t noticed many on the road so far. “It’s a 2012 Dodge Durango,” I told him. “This is the top trim level – the Citadel.”

unveiled for 2011, it featured an all-new chassis and suspension. Unibody construction blended high-strength steels with more than 5,500 welds, contributing to torsional stiffness. The Durango powertrains – a standard 3.6litre Pentastar V6 and optional 5.7L Hemi V8 – both offer class-leading power and towing levels. And, along with new instrumentation, new technologies and a revised interior, Durango content includes up to 45 safety and security features: electronic stability control, electronic roll mitigation, hill-start assist, trailer-sway Control, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross path detection, to name just a few. ◆ See ‘DODGE’ /B12

The newly re-styled 2013 Honda Civic features an open-mouth lower bumper and honeycomb grille.

Civic restyled for new year

Sedan features sportier accents with mesh grille and chrome trim

Honda Canada has revealed the first look at the 2013 Honda Civic Sedan in advance of its debut at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show on Nov. 29. The refined styling of the 2013 Civic Sedan, which goes on sale at Honda dealerships across Canada by year-end, will encompass a host of safety, feature, comfort, chassis and interior styling enhancements. The styling of the front end includes a new open-mouth lower bumper with a horizontal chrome accent and a sportier, black honeycomb mesh grille, anchored by new integrated fog lights on upper trims. New clear-lens cor-

ner lights to provide a more premium look flank the grille. The 2013 Civic’s more sculpted front end flows into a new, more deeply faceted hood, complemented by a collection of sharp new wheel designs. In back, a new rear bumper design and new rear trunk lid are capped by a clean, horizontal chrome trim piece. The all-new design of the taillights now carries into the trunk face, providing a more finished and upscale look. The rear bumper features integrated reflector treatments and a new lower diffuser panel finished with a honeycomb mesh vent.

The good ol’ days of texting while driving could return in the future. General Motors continues work on its EN-V, which can be driven manually or autonomously. GM’S Electric Networked Vehicle is a two-seat, electric urban mobility concept that debuted at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo. The EN-V was designed to address environmental issues and help alleviate traffic congestion, parking, safety and energy consumption. The vehicle’s hands-free operation works by combining GPS with vehicle-to-vehicle communications and distance-sensing technologies. In that mode, EN-V offers mobility to people who may not otherwise operate a vehicle.

A BEAUTIFUL BOUQUET OF PINK ROSES to Ria, a nice, fast girl with an open mind at Motion Specialties on Barons Road. Thanks also to her co-workers for all of their hard work. TWO BEAUTIFUL BOUQUETS to two guys I call my saviours. They kept me warm and kept me talking after I was hit on my scooter in a crosswalk. Thanks doesn't seem to be enough. A HUGE BOUQUET to city officials for working with the Nanaimo Mountain Bike Club to put a mountain bike trail around part of Westwood Lake. Everyone in the biking community is excited about this trail and visitors will be able to enjoy it as well. A HUGE BOUQUET OF ROSES IN ADVANCE to anyone who can help me locate a gentleman named Murray, who lives in north Nanaimo. He approached me a couple of weeks ago, interested in purchasing my little green Suzuki Sidekick car but my hubby apparently threw out the contact information. I hope Murray can contact me as I gave him my information and am ready to sell. A BOUQUET. A wheel came off Cody's wheelchair recently and we did not know how to get it back on. John, a Nanaimo Port Authority employee, helped us out and fixed it right away. Thank you, John, you're a life saver. A BEAUTIFUL BOUQUET to Margaret Fraser with the Vancouver Island Health Authority for standing up against injustice.

A BOUQUET to Vibe Bikes. The owner is the most amazing and caring man around. He rebuilds bikes donated to him, fixes them and then gives them away to kids who need bikes. He also fixes kids' bikes for free out of the goodness of his heart. I really feel this man deserves the biggest bouquet the paper has ever given out, since there are not too many people out there who would spend their time doing something like this. A BIG, BEAUTIFUL BOUQUET to the hairdressers at Adia Salon. You saved me from the scariest haircut of my life. You assured me I was correct in feeling it was a poor cut, then changed it into a lovely cut. A special thank you to Nicky for being especially patient while the tears filled up my eyes and for accepting the tough job of fixing the work of a different hairdresser from a different salon. I am forever grateful. I will be a returning customer. A FRIENDLY NEIGHBOUR BOUQUET to the couple in the Brechin Hill area who had their trees topped so others in the neighbourhood can enjoy their ocean view once again. BIG BOUQUETS to the wonderful Nanaimo Concert Band musicians. Their 140th anniversary concert was incredible. They truly are an amazing bunch of talented musicians. It was brilliant from start to finish. A GRATEFUL BOUQUET to the front desk worker at the Howard Johnson Harbourside Hotel for kindly and immediately addressing the parking concerns of a senior traveller recently.

A HUGE BOUQUET to our realtor Chris Martin from Re/Max of Nanaimo. He made purchasing our first home a breeze. He went above and beyond to try and accommodate our busy schedule and find us the perfect home to raise our baby. He even helped us out when he was supposed to be on holidays so we could purchase the house before our baby was due. He wowed us with his exceptional service, positive attitude and all of his great advice. We are forever grateful – from Taylor and Donna.

Copper is happy in his new home. Never give up hope if your pet is missing. From Betty.

A BOUQUET to Daily Dollar Plus in Chase River. Thanks to your variety of cards, crafts and household stuff, we no longer have an excuse to waste gas going to north Nanaimo. Smiles all around.

A BOUQUET. My son lost his glasses on the Parkway Trail recently. We didn't think we would find them, but thought we'd try anyway. A kind person used a bright bag to tie the glasses to a stick and then poked the stick through the fence, so after a few hours of looking for them, suddenly they were dangling magically in front of our eyes. It was fantastic and we are so grateful to have them back.

A HUGE CHRISTMAS WREATH to our darling daughter Meghan for organizing a wonderful surprise 40th anniversary party for us. It was heartwarming to see old and current friends turn out for this special time in our lives. Then this month she organized a beer and burger for us to help to defray the cost of her dad's alternative cancer treatments. Love you lots, Megs.

A BRIGHT AND SUNNY BOUQUET to Northstar Heating and Cooling. What awesome customer service from Dave and Steve. Both of you were so helpful, friendly and professional. Thanks Dave for going that extra mile to figure out and resolve the problem with the oil smell in my home. A RAINBOW SHOWER BOUQUET to all my new friends in the East Wellington area. Copper, my orange, Mexican tabby has been found after three months. Tons of thanks to Orville, Pat, Cathy, Moira and Alfred. I am so thankful for all your help.

A BOUQUET OF ENGLISH GARDEN FLOWERS to Colleen of Yours and Mine consignment store. I recently lost my mom and took her newer clothes and shoes in for possible sale. What a wonderful, gracious lady Colleen has been – accommodating and elegant in her business dealings. You are a treasure to work with.

BOUQUETS OF RED MAPLE LEAVES to ironworker Brett who rescued me when I locked the keys in my vehicle trunk. He drove me home to retrieve the second key set – his good deed of the day. A BOUQUET OF BRIGHT RED POPPIES toward the annual Remembrance Day ceremony in Ottawa. Marvellous for remembering. A BEEF F to people who are bullying children, harassing adults and abusing animals. These are mentally sick people. A BEEF F to telemarketers and our politicians. Returning from a 23-day trip, there were 37 messages from telemarketers on my phone, although I'd asked to be removed from the list. How many telemarketing calls do our politicians have to put up with? None, as these calls are blocked for them. Why don't politicians see that the public gets the same privilege they do? A SHOW-SOME-RESPECT BEEF F to all the merchants who put Christmas decorations in their flyers without recognizing the veterans three days before Remembrance Day. Lest we forget. Unfortunately, greed is pushing the important things to the shadows. A BEEF F to B.C. Ferries. I was wheeled into the waiting room from Duke Point. It was full of people and I had to wait until they boarded for Nanaimo. My family from Abbotsford was sick with worry. A BEEF F to the person who scolded me for kicking his small dog on the Blueback steps. I care much more about my good, white pants – which got soiled – than I care about your poorly trained, flea-ridden, mangy mutt. AN UNFRIENDLY BEEF F to people at the Remembrance Day ceremony who cut off our youth from our local scouting groups as they marched in the parade. I have never seen such rude people. You wouldn't act this way to our veterans, so why would you do it to our children?

LOST AND FOUND

Marilyn Grace Ann (Lyn) Cormack After a long and brave battle with cancer, died peacefully at the Palliative Care Unit of Nanaimo Regional Hospital on November 4th, 2012 at the age of 64. Predeceased by her parents, Lorna Watson and Rennie Cormack, Lyn was born in Edmonton, AB in 1948 and raised in Port Alberni, BC. She is survived by her son Dan Hooper (wife Chris) of Calgary, AB, daughter Kelly Hooper of Langley, BC, brothers Brent and Dale Cormack, step-mother Kay Cormack, ex-husband Rick Hooper, and three granddaughters: Madison, Teresa, and Kennedy, her pride and joy. The greatest joy in Lynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life came from her family. Loss of her dear mother, Lorna in 2007 was a large hardship to bear, but she was sustained through it all by the love of her children and grand-children. Lyn also leaves behind her many friends and relatives, made over her lifetime at Port Alberni, Langley and Nanaimo. Lyn was a long time employee of Home Depot in Nanaimo, where she considered her colleagues to be much more than that. She always enjoyed participating in their fund raising activities and was a true community-minded citizen. Lyn was not a religious person, but rather a spiritual one, always comfortable with herself and thankful for all she had. She never had a harsh word for anybody, loved children and animals above all, and was generous to a fault. She is missed so much by all who loved her. The family wishes to express their sincere thanks to the staff and volunteers of the NRGH Palliative Care Unit, who through their kind and professional efforts made Lynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last days so comfortable. A memorial tea will be held on November 17th at the Ashlar Masonic Hall, 101 Commercial St, Nanaimo, BC from 1:00pm to 4:00pm. Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society in lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers would be greatly appreciated.

He leaves behind his two daughters Jennifer, Ashley (Terence), granddaughter Miaya, mother Staniz and many extended family and friends. Known by many as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Big Kimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The big ugly guyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as he used to call himself, he was a gentle giant to all.

In Loving Memory of

Adolph Gniazdoski January 15, 1913 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; November 1, 2012 Adolph was a very proud Veteran of WW11. Adolph passed away peacefully at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital at the age of almost 100 years, after a short illness & a long, healthy, happy life. Adolph had a really big, compassionate heart, a twinkle in his eye and a warm smile for everyone he met. He was a very kind person, always willing to help others. Adolph was an accomplished Poet & Author. An avid ďŹ sherman, he loved the great outdoors & Mother Nature. God saw you were getting tired, a cure was not to be, So He put His arms around you, and whispered â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come To Me.â&#x20AC;&#x153; With tearful eyes I watched you fade away. Although I loved you dearly, I could not make you stay. I will always be so grateful that I was able to spend the last three weeks of his life, with my father and was able to talk and laugh and love, read him his beautiful poetry & listen to his favorite music. He was a father, brother, grandfather, uncle and friend to so many people. To me he was more than a father; he was my friend and my hero.

chronic colds and flu, then your immune system may need help. Plant sterols help balance the immune system to fight chronic colds and flu, especially in the winter months when our immune systems can be under constant attack. Plant sterols are essential to the body, y but like vitamin C, the body cannot synthesize them, they have to be ingested. However,r due to thhe modern processing of food, today’s ’ diets tend to be deficient in sterols.

Immuno-Care® is a one-aa-day

plant sterol supplement clinically tested and proven to supporrt the body against colds, ﬂu, seaasonal allergies, infection, inﬂamm mation and the symptoms of autoimmune diseases.
