Residents rally Citizens trying to persuade city council to back down from plan to remove two dams at a Harewood park BY TOBY GORMAN THE NEWS BULLETIN

itizens are rallying to try to persuade Nanaimo city council to reverse its decision to remove two dams in Colliery Dam Park that have provided residents with recreational opportunities for decades. In late October, the city revealed that studies performed by the provincial Dam Safety Branch over the past two years suggested that, in the event of an earthquake or extreme rainfall, the dams could fail, causing water from two lakes to rush into parts of Harewood. Both dams are 100 years old and, according to city officials, at the end of

their useful life. They were installed by the Western Fuel Company for the purpose of storing water for washing coal at Nanaimo’s waterfront in 1910. But removing the dams will result in the popular lakes being drained, taking away swimming and fishing opportunities enjoyed by thousands of people annually. Jeff Solomon, organizer of a public meeting taking place Nov. 20 in the gymnasium at John Barsby Secondary School at 7 p.m., said the safety factor is understood, but isn’t convinced all options were explored to keep Colliery Dam Park in its present state. ◆ See ‘PUBLIC’ /4

Inbrief Small army needed for fundraising effort city scene

Power outage after crash Nearly 1,800 homes and businesses in Nanaimo’s Departure Bay area were left without power for more than eight hours after a suspected drunk driver smashed his pickup truck into a power pole Thursday. The power outage happened at about 9 p.m. in the 3100 block of Departure Bay Road when a 37-year-old Nanaimo man crashed his Dodge pickup truck into a power pole, snapping off the pole. The driver was taken to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital for examination, but had no known injuries, said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RMCP spokesman. The driver was given an immediate 90-day roadside prohibition from driving and police impounded his vehicle for 30 days. “Alcohol was involved,” O’Brien said. Power was finally restored to the area Friday at 5:15 a.m.

Library closes book dropoff External book drops located at the Vancouver Island Regional Library administration building on Hammond Bay Road will be closed Friday (Nov. 23). The closure is due to the upcoming construction of the new Nanaimo North Library. Library customers can return materials to the Wellington branch, at 3032 Barons Rd., or to the Harbourfront branch, at 90 Commercial St. For more information, please call 1-877-4158475.

KETTLE CAMPAIGN supports Sally Ann’s community services. BY NIOMI PEARSON THE NEWS BULLETIN

A small army of volunteers is needed for the Nanaimo Sally Ann’s annual Christmas Kettle campaign, which officially kicks off Tuesday (Nov. 20), with a luncheon. Last year’s campaign was assisted by approximately 900 bell-ringing and carol-singing volunteers, said envoy Dawne Anderson, Salvation Army fundraising coordinator. “That’s including sports groups, companies, businesses, schools and individuals, and we’re hoping that they all come back on board as well as many others,” she said. There are four time slots each day at 25 different locations, ranging from North Nanaimo to Ladysmith, adding up to 100 shifts a day to fill between Nov. 22 to Dec. 24. This year, there are two new kettle locations (Country Grocer at Bowen Road and the Woodgrove Food Court) and the organization is considering putting a few manned kettles out on Boxing Day. “That’s a lot of hours to man the kettles,” Anderson said. The fundraising goal for this year is set at $400,000. Last year’s kettle and mail-in donations combined fell just short of that amount with the kettle campaign alone raising $203,000. “That’s an amazing amount on the kettles, it was so exciting,” Anderson said.

NIOMI PEARSON/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Nanaimo Salvation Army envoy and fundraising coordinator Dawne Anderson and volunteer Gary Hay prep the Salvation Army kettles and drop boxes for the organization’s annual Christmas kettle campaign, which kicks off with a luncheon Tuesday (Nov. 20).

The Christmas kettle campaign is the Salvation Army’s largest fundraiser of the year. “All the money we raise in the kettle campaign helps support our community services work, with our New Hope centre, the emergency shelter, food hampers, meal program and our shelter downtown,” Anderson said. The Salvation Army handed out 2,300 Christmas hampers to local

families last year and expects the number to grow in 2012. “The need is increasing in the community,” Anderson said. For those with a bit of spring in their step, the Salvation Army, in partnership with the Running Room, is also holding the Santa Shuffle fun run and elf walk on Dec. 1, as part of their seasonal fundraising efforts. The cost to register is $30 for

adults, and $20 for youths 12 and under. Families of six or less can register together for $85. For more information, please visit www.events.runningroom.com/ site/?raceId=8385.

Support staff serves 72-hour strike notice to university BY JENN McGARRIGLE THE NEWS BULLETIN

Strike action could shut down Vancouver Island University next week. The university’s support staff will join workers at several other institutions in an all-campus walkout Tuesday and Wednesday (Nov. 20-21) if no progress is made at the bargaining table by then, said Ian McLean, B.C. colleges coordinator for the Canadian

Union of Public Employees. “The institution, as far as we are concerned, would be closed,” he said. “We’re hopeful that government will be able to come up and at least make an offer to us. We don’t want to disrupt the students any more than the students want disruption.” Nearly 300 CUPE workers at VIU, including food services, clerical and maintenance workers, have been

without a contract for more than two years. On Oct. 30, the university’s support staff voted 86 per cent in favour of job action and days later, the two parties agreed to bring in a private mediator to assist in the collective bargaining process. If the VIU workers end up on strike, it would be the second time in recent years that classes are disrupted – a month-long faculty association strike shut

down the university in the spring of 2011. Dan Hurley, VIU spokesman, said the university will continue to work with the union to resolve the matter and he did not know by press time Friday what the impacts for students would be. McLean said support staff at four other institutions – Camosun College, North Island College, College of the Rockies and College of New Caledonia –

will also set up picket lines Tuesday if no progress is made over the weekend or Monday. He said the stumbling block is the province, not employers, and the union believes that if VIU had the authority to sign off on an agreement with workers, it would be a done deal by now.

Public meeting will gauge opposition ◆ From /1 “This park is part of the fabric of the city, it adds unbelievable value to our city,” said Solomon. “This park, in its present for m, is a hug e reason why people have chosen to live here. If you take it away, there will be a gaping wound where the park used to be.” Solomon said he doesn’t buy the city’s

estimates that it will cost $20 million to $30 million to restore the dams to current code, adding that the projected $7-million cost to remove the dams is also a waste of taxpayers’ money. “OK, the city wants to mitigate liability, fine,” he said. “But we don’t know what will happen during a big earthquake. Most of the buildings in

this city aren’t up to current codes. For all we know half of Nanaimo will fall into the ocean. I just don’t see taking away something so many people love as the right decision.” The city heard similar discontent by residents at two open houses it hosted on Nov. 5 and Nov. 8. Nanaimo resident Geraldine Collins said

Invitation to Tender Henry Morgan Park Phase 1 Recreation and Parks Department The Regional District of Nanaimo invites tenders for a new park in Bowser BC. The work includes clearing existing trees, re-routing an existing water service, site grading and associated sediment control. New construction includes: paths, parking, decorative landscape surface treatments, fencing, play equipment, asphalt play court, wood structure foundations, rock work, site furnishing, subsurface drainage pipe and soft landscape (planting trees, shrubs and grasses). Copies of the tender documents can be obtained from the Regional District of Nanaimo Recreation and Parks Department for a fee of $50 plus HST per package. Document pick up is available from 8:30-4:30 at Oceanside Place, 830 W. Island Hwy, Parksville, BC V9P 2X4, (250) 248-3252. Tenders shall include consent to a performance bond and a Labour and Materials Payment Bond each in the amount of 50% of the Contract price. Bid Bonds not required.

she is angry at the city’s approach, how it came to the decision and how it presented the information to the public. She cites a lack of community consultation, no environmental studies, and no consideration for historical significance. “Why is the city council so quick to destroy a jewel in Nanaimo’s crown?” she asked in an open letter to council. “The obvious answer is to abrogate their legal liabilities. It has nothing to do with the needs of the community, the wildlife or any of the other intrinsic values. It has nothing to do with a well thought out solution. Yes, something must

be done to assuage the B.C. Dam Safety regulations, but why next summer?” City council discussed the issue of removing the dams in camera, revealing its decision at an open council meeting in late October. Local officials were told by the province to establish a plan to mitigate the risk by the end of this month. Solomon said he has no idea how many people will show up to the public meeting Nov. 20, but all are welcome. “If only a few people show up then I guess we’ll have our answer, that most people aren’t as concerned about it as I am,” he said. “But I feel we owe it to the park to at least try.”

Gala supports salmon projects BY TOBY GORMAN THE NEWS BULLETIN

The Pacific Salmon Foundation is hosting its 10th annual gala dinner in Nanaimo later this month and thanks to the proceeds of those evenings, which have become a must-attend event in the Harbour City, salmon-related projects are gaining momentum. Completed projects, like Bowen Park’s salmon side channel and salmon re-introduction to Beck Creek, Cat Creek and Chase River, have been successful. Cur rent projects, such as re-establishing a salmon run in Departure Creek, benefitted from proceeds generated by the evening – the event raises about $40,000 – and future projects will continue to improve salmon runs, habitat and knowledge about them. Proceeds from this year’s dinner will help establish an educational science centre in Bowen Park, introduce pinks to the channel between Neck Point and Pipers Lagoon Park, and enhance various water storage projects to ensure

In 2011, Nanaimo area salmon projects from Duncan to Fanny Bay received $22,000 in funding raised partly from the foundation’s annual dinner. “It’s a great way for all of the people and groups involved in these projects to celebrate their accomplishments and continue the momentum by supporting this fundraising event,” said Mel Sheng, dinner organizer and quarterback for many salmon enhancement projects in the area. Sheng also noted that the inaugural pink salmon fishing derby, held in September and supported with $10,000 worth of prizes from Alberni Outpost, was also a success. “All of the money they made went back

Partners involved in many of the projects being completed around Nanaimo include the Island Flyfishers; British Columbia Conservation Foundation; Island Corridor Foundation; Nanaimo and Area Land Trust; Department of Fisheries and Oceans; the City of Nanaimo; and Vancouver Island University. Jean-Michel Hanssens of the Harbour City River Stewards says the funding provided through the PSF

is important to keep projects flowing. “Funding is critical, particularly for these projects in small community creeks that are very important. We’ve done quite a bit in this region lately ... and it’s very rewarding when you go down to the creek and there is a coho that wouldn’t have been there before looking at you.” This year’s gala is Nov. 24, beginning at 5 p.m. at Beban Park. Tickets are $60 each and can be purchased at Gone Fishin’ and Wholesale Sports Outdoor Outfitters. Gala highlights include live and silent auctions featuring angling adventures, original artwork, raffles and a seafood appetizer bar.

British Columbia is in a position to become economically prosperous thanks in part to

Despite its potential, B.C. is beginning to slip backwards economically compared to other parts of the country. D’Avignon said Nanaimo, Victoria and Vancouver all rank fairly low on the national list for average salaries, expensive housing stretches family budgets, and B.C. has the highest personal debt in the country. The end result, he said, is many British Columbians feel like they’re falling behind. “It starts to get difficult for families in the $30,000 to $100,000 bracket and people feel more isolated, disenfranchised and disconnected,” said D ’ Av i g n o n . “A n d rightly so, so they’re saying ‘what’s in it for me to support this stuff ?’ The business community needs to do more to explain when a new natural gas plant goes in, or when a new mine opens or when new construction takes place. That actually creates the prosperity that enables people to have the kind of lifestyle that they want.” That philosophical chasm adds up to about $4 billion in untapped potential, money that can be used to fund schools and hospitals. By initiating the B.C. Agenda for Shared Prosperity, both Winter and D’Avignon say they hope a respectable conversation can take place to create a roadmap for B.C. to put itself in the driver’s seat when opportunities arise. “It’s about unlocking B.C’s potential. We’re at a fork in the road, people are feeling strained, they can’t give any more but they want more and need more,” said D’Avignon. “We need to create a future of confidence for people in British Columbia.” The initiative will be informed by an advisory council made up of civic-minded B.C. residents and will include a series of regional workshops this fall with further events and a midterm report planned through March. reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

Society aims to include men in domestic violence solution BY TOBY GORMAN THE NEWS BULLETIN

CHRIS BUSH/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Toy toss

Amber Cronk, Woodgrove Centre administrative assistant, passes some puffy pals up to Carolyn Iles, publicity director for the Great Nanaimo Toy Drive, which kicked off Thursday with a ceremony that included dropping the drive’s first donations in the shopping centre’s big toy chest.

For more than 30 years Nanaimo’s Haven Society has helped women and children who have been victims of domestic violence find a better life through programs, services and advocacy. Now the society is reaching out to men and school-aged boys in an effort to address the problem of violence with those who practise it, or those who are vulnerable to becoming violent. To help launch Haven’s inclusion of men in its programming, the society is hosting Jackson Katz, a world-renowned educator, filmmaker and cultural theorist on masculinity and gender violence. According to Tracy Myers, coordinator of programs for children and youth at Haven Society, Katz is responsible for much of the material used by Haven Society to educate people about domestic violence, the pressures boys and young men face through culture to become strong and dominant, the resulting violence and how to halt the cycle. Haven Society is hosting Katz Nov. 26-27. On Nov. 26, Katz will give a free multi-media presentation titled The Macho Paradox – Why Some Men Hurt Women and How All Men Can Help from 7:30-9 p.m. at the Coast Bastion Inn. All members of the community are welcome. Nov. 27 will include a men’s leadership breakfast and a prevention and social training workshop (tickets available until Thursday (Nov. 22) by going to www.havensociety.com or by calling 250-756-2452, ext. 224). “When it comes to domestic violence in our community we want to include men in the solution,” said Myers. “We use Jackson Katz’s material because we have yet to find any other material that is as powerful or engaging, especially when it comes to involving bystanders, or people who aren’t involved directly in the violence.”

Katz is also behind the B.C. Lions’ Be More Than a Bystander campaign. Haven Society is in the process of entering local classrooms through its Violence is Preventable program, where male volunteers speak to youth about violence in the home and in their relationships. In addition, Haven will also be running a program called Men Choose Respect through its Oceanside office, aimed at men who use violence in their relationships, as well as establishing a leadership team of men to act as advisors to help Haven reach men who might benefit from the programs. “Unless we’re working upstream we’re just going to keep picking up the pieces downstream,” said Myers. Katz’s latest film, Tough Guise, addresses the messaging boys are getting in today’s world about becoming men through cultural pressures and media. “Boys and young men learn early on that being a so-called real man means you have to take on this tough guise, in other words you have to show the world only certain parts of yourself that the dominant culture has defined as manly,” said Katz in a YouTube promotion of the movie. Katz has a group of young men express qualities they feel best describe what a man should be. Those descriptions include physical, aggressive, tough, athletic, powerful independent, intimidating, strong and rugged. “If you’re a boy there is a lot of pressure on you to conform, to put on the act and to be one of the guys,” said Katz, who blames media for portraying violent masculinity as a cultural norm. Myers said the goal of the presentations is to generate male allies in the community to speak out and act against domestic violence, as well as offer alternatives to definitions of manliness presented by media and culture. reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

City sells land near social housing site to Nanaimo developer A portion of land once part of a controversial supportive housing site has been sold by the city to a Nanaimo-based developer, but will have to withstand a rezoning process before it can be finalized. A .5-hectare parcel of land at 1621 Dufferin Cres. was sold to R.W. Wall Ltd. for slightly more than $1 million Sept. 14.

If rezoning is successful – the property is currently zoned residential – R.W. Wall proposes to build medical office space. The adjacent parcel of land at 1597 Boundary Cres. will remain the site for a 35-unit supported apartment building that will house the homeless. It is being developed by non-profit organizations including Nanaimo Afford-

able Housing Society, Columbian Centre Society and Haven Society. Nanaimo Mayor John Ruttan said public feedback helped the city determine the best use for the sold site. “This council believes that it is important to successfully integrate social housing into the fabric of our community, and the

commercial development proposed by R.W. Wall Ltd. ... will further that objective,” he said. The medical office building will be at the front of the site, facing on to Dufferin Crescent, while the supported housing facility will be situated behind it. The sale of the land remains subject to successful rezoning that will see the land rezoned

from medium density residential to hospital urban node. A public hearing on the rezoning is anticipated for January while in March, the construction of sidewalks and road upgrades to Dufferin and Boundary crescents will take place, according to a release from the city. Construction is expected to begin next summer.

EDITORIAL

Council shows little backbone The issue surrounding the removal of two dams at Colliery Dam Park is just one more instance where Nanaimo’s city council has taken a submissive approach to the demands of senior levels of government. A provincial assessment declared the two dams unsafe in the event of an earthquake or extreme rainfall, and, under the Water Act, the city would be held libel should any damage result in a breach of either dam. But council’s quick decision to remove the dams and drain the lakes was made without public consultation, and options that could have been pursued were not. Submitting to senior level government demands and timelines is becoming a familiar pattern with this council. It was told to build a $72-million water treatment plant and like a good servant did not question authority. This council has not yet advocated for Nanaimo citizens on the proposed idea to lease the Nanaimo Boat-Basin to private interests, and it hasn’t stepped up to the plate to assure citizens that it will do what it can to protect parks like Pioneer Forest and Linley Valley from development. Now another park, Colliery Dam Park, will soon be affected by council’s apparent lack of interest in its citizens’ concerns. And remember the low-barrier housing issue? The province’s Treasury Board hung city council out to dry. What’s more, it’s beginning to get expensive with each demand by the province or federal government. It will cost about $7 million to remove the dams, all of it paid for by Nanaimo residents, and the cost of the water treatment plant falls largely on Nanaimo taxpayers. There are social costs as well. Colliery Dam Park is a much-loved jewel in the south end, as much as the boat basin is to all Nanaimo residents or Pioneer Park is to north enders. Council has done a poor job advocating for its citizens, and the casualties are beginning to add up.

toy drive simply perpetuates the commercialization of Christmas. I don’t – gifts at Christmas are part of our cultural fabric. As adults, we can choose to opt out of that part of society, but to force children to do that is rather mean. Receiving a gift on Christmas that they can take to school to show to friends can do wonders for a child’s self-esteem; make them feel part of this big celebration in which we all participate. If they want to opt out when they’re older, that’s fine, too. But right now, let them be kids. I don’t practise religion, and neither does the rest of my family, so our traditions are drawn more from pop culture than dogma. We buy a real tree from a service club, which means it sometimes looks a little Charlie Brownish. No matter – we fill in the holes with lights and shiny things. We eat – chocolate, butter tarts and shortbread, plus the great turkey feast; we watch hockey – especially the world junior hockey championships; and we gather as a family, never missing my aunt’s annual Christmas Eve party. Travelling in B.C. is always a challenge, never more so than in the winter. So I’ll be looking heaven-ward for skies clear enough to fly this December so that I can be home for Christmas. As an adult, that’s my best gift. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

Dam’s social importance not being considered To the Editor, Re: City plans to remove two century-old dams, Nov. 1. After reading the Seismic Hazard Assessment Study by EBA Engineers (2010) and the Chase River Dam Breach Flood Inundation Study by Associated Engineering (2012), there seems to be a lot of incongruities to what we have been told by city representatives regarding options for the Colliery Dam Park lakes. This has been a frustrating process. Initially we were told that the reason they decided on destroying the dams was the difference in cost to upgrade versus removing. Then it changed to upgrading and replacing weren’t an option (couldn’t be done). I was told by city staff at the open house Nov. 5 they didn’t know if there was bedrock and if there was, whether it is fragmented. So, because this is definitely not my field of study, and there has been no open and inclusive consultation with elected officials and city staff, this is what I have pieced together based on the studies available on the city website. In 2010 the seismic study indicated that there was serious concerns regarding the safety of the dams and three options were presented: 1. Remove dams; 2. Upgrade (with the need to inspect should

there be an earthquake); and 3. Replace. Then the Chase River Flood study was conducted and published this September. It broke down in some detail regarding a potential earthquake or extreme flood situation with what is known or not

known about the inner construction of the dams. It also detailed the worst scenario if such an event were to happen if nothing is done. Again, the options were listed, stating removal of the dams was less costly and

would completely remove all risk. It also stated the second option might want to be explored considering social and environmental considerations. This last sentence is not being acknowledged by city council and staff. This is the piece that is being missed and we need to be included in the discussion, not told misinformation. From the findings of the study it is important to look after it. We all want to make sure that the people living downstream can go to bed at night feeling that they are safe. It states very clearly in the study this can be accomplished with an upgrade. Cost is relative. We all know how ridiculous the costs for the Vancouver Island Conference Centre were/are, and who uses the cruise ship terminal? Colliery Dam Park serves our community and our citizens so much more than many other costly city projects. We are holding a public meeting to insist that city council include us in the decision making and that they stick to what is in the study. It will be held Nov. 20 at 7 p.m. in the John Barsby Secondary School multipurpose room. For more information please e-mail savecollierydam@gmail.com. Roblyn Hunter Nanaimo

A little gratitude for food donations would go a long way To the Editor, Re: Every day items often overlooked in food donations, Letters, Nov. 13. Does Catherine Melnyk realize that neither grocery stores nor the general public have to donate anything, that they are doing this out of the kindness of their hearts? The people donating get their money from somewhere, most likely they are fortunate enough to have jobs and are able to give. Grocery stores are businesses out to make a profit and are not charitable organizations. I can only imagine how difficult it is to be in a position where basic items are hard to obtain on a very limited budget. This is not to say they are all the same, but I wonder why we even bother when I see some on assistance able to still get their smokes, of all kinds, and their booze then complain that they don’t have enough for food. I worked for many years in the

public service and was fortunate enough to retire with a pension that I earned. People in my position still have to live, provide shelter and food for ourselves as well as pay taxes to help those less fortunate, which I have been doing for 30 years since coming to Canada. The donations made up by the grocery stores are not for a specific person and I’m sure the cost is more than the donations from the public. Remember, they don’t have to do this nor do we have to donate anything.

I understand that not all a person requires is in the donated bags, but a little appreciation would not go amiss. I’m not saying Melynk is not a responsible person, but a little gratitude for what she does get should be shown. Times are difficult for a lot of people, even those not on assistance.

Conspiracy theories plentiful in society To the Editor, Re: Smart meter manipulation happens, B.C. Views, Nov. 8. Another great column on smart meters from Tom Fletcher. Here’s one he might like from a new book The Psychopath Testt by Jon Ronson.

Council owes citizens its take on boat basin To the Editor, It is unclear that city council has been duly and fully informed of the ramifications of the proposed Nanaimo Boat Basin lease. Given there is both a city appointee on the Nanaimo Port Authority and a port/city liaison committee, it is curious, and long overdue for them to fully report (if necessary “in camera”, at least with regard to the confidential legal aspects) to council so that it can publicly advise whether the proposal, in general, is in the best interests of the citizens and taxpayers of Nanaimo. And, without breaching the necessary and real (as opposed to

merely inconvenient) confidential aspects, publicly verify that Protection Islanders and other citizens are not unduly or detrimentally affected. Council is obligated to represent the best interests of its citizens and taxpayers. It can, and must, do so without breaching its relationship with the port authority. There well may be confidential aspects but they do not impede council’s ability or obligation to report publicly on the overall risks and benefits. Let’s not forget that the port authority is the trustee of public assets, not privately owned ones. It too is obligated to act in the public’s interest and do so clearly and candidly. One wonders why a full call for proposals is not the course of action. There may be better options available. Unless one asks, one doesn’t know. Gary Korpan Nanaimo

Need for health care workers rises BY MARILYN ASSAF

Randy Cooper worked as a carpenter until a workplace accident in June 2011 changed everything. “A saw kicked back and cut off most of my left thumb,” he said. “Now I have difficulty operating power tools.” That’s why Cooper is launching a career change. Instead of working with wood, he’ll assist seniors. He is one of 32 students enrolled in Vancouver Island University’s Health Care Assistant program. Seven weeks into the program, he couldn’t be happier. “It’s been 23 years since I’ve attended school,” said the father of two. “I find it intellectually stimulating and gratifying to learn something new. My kids, especially my son who just started kindergarten, think it’s cool Dad is going to school.” The provincial government proclaimed Oct. 18 as Health Care Assistant Day in B.C., and Cooper celebrated with students and instructors at VIU. Health care assistant refers to several positions

including community health workers, residential care aides, home support workers, long-term care aides, continuing care assistants and personal care aides, said VIU instructor Deb Denhoff. “What you will be giving to the community in your new profession is a huge gift,” Denhoff told her students. “You will be providing seniors with loving care, helping them with tasks they can no longer perform themselves. According to the B.C. government, there are 40,000 health care assistants province-wide assisting seniors to remain independent as long as possible. They provide 24-hour professional care and supervision to seniors in supportive environments, including private homes, public care facilities and hospitals. There is a 100 percent job placement for graduates who complete VIU’s 24-week program, said instructor Denise Andersen. Most graduates find employment with the Vancouver Island Health Authority

or its affiliates. Andersen said the average age of nurses in B.C. is 50, and the profession will be hit hard with

retirements. “The demand for trained HCA’s will only go up due to the aging population and continual

growth of health care services,” she said. Cooper, who coped with seasonal layoffs as a carpenter, said it’s reassur-

ing to know there will be no shortage of work in the health-care field. Student Chelsy McDavid of Haida Gwaii took the HCA program on the advice of her parents. “I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do, so I volunteered at the hospital in Charlotte while finishing Grade 12,” she said. “I noticed some of the seniors weren’t being treated well, and decided that I could make a difference.” To others in the community who may be considering a career change, Cooper said Don’t be afraid to try something new. “I thought going back to school would be a challenge,” he said. “It is challenging, but I’m so proud of myself for having the confidence to try. My self-esteem has never been greater.” VIU’s 24-week health care assistant program is offered at the Nanaimo, Cowichan and Powell River campuses.

of children,� said Kelly Raymond, child life specialist. “It is a way to communicate emotions and also interact with other young people

facing similar health issues. It is therapeutic and sometimes the first time a young person has had a hands-on experience with music. Long & McQuade donated guitars and ukuleles to the hospital earlier this year when a client staying in hospital reported that there was only a single broken guitar in the unit. When Raymond stopped by the Nanaimo store on Comox Road to discuss the music drive, staff surprised her with an electric keyboard to add to the instruments already donated. Jason Friesen, Nanaimo store manager, said it’s their way

E

very year Future Shop has an annual United Way fundraising drive across the company. The store at Country Club Centre recognizes the importance of the role that United Way has and encourages its staff to support the United Way through payroll deductions. United Way of Central and Northern Vancouver Island comes to Future Shop to talk about the campaign and how the donations will help those in need in the local area. The store launches its campaign every year and raised 110% to its target, amounting to an incredible $7,157.85, contributed entirely from their staff. The Country Club Centre employs approximately 80 staff, the majority of whom support the United Way through payroll deductions.

As part of their continuing efforts to support the United Way, on Thursday, November 22 during their VIP Sales Event, Future Shop will be giving away popcorn (from 10am - 9pm) with any donation to the United Way. All proceeds from the popcorn will be given to the United Way. This one day only, exclusive sales event is the largest sale prior to Boxing Day. There are huge savings throughout the store and lots of prize draws (no purchase necessary). This is a great time to get your Christmas shopping done early and help out the United Way! Keep in mind, with the new price beat promise, all prices including online specials will be guaranteed until January 6th.

For most bankruptcies, where the person’s financial affairs are not overly complicated and the realizable value of assets available to the creditors is less than $15,000, there is no requirement for a notice to be published in a local newspaper. Nonetheless, a Trustee is not prevented from publishing a notice if he feels there may be a benefit in doing so, such as identifying assets or creditors not disclosed by the bankrupt. All bankruptcies are a matter of public record and the Trustee is required to make a reasonable effort to identify and provide notification to all creditors. Also, a data base of prior bankruptcy information is kept in Ottawa by the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy. For a fee of $8.00 you may request a search for details of any prior bankruptcies for a particular person.

naturopathic Flu Information for 2012-2013

Influenza activity in BC remains at a low level currently. The predominant DR. KAREN L. FRASER viral illness is “influenza like illness” which strongly mimics flu symptoms, but is not the influenza virus. The symptoms for both include body ache, chills, fatigue, nausea, stomach pain, and can include vomiting and diarrhea. Sporadic flu activity has been documented in BC, ON & QC but continues to remain low overall currently. Each year at AWC we offer a general immune support program for patients that some use as an alternative to flu vaccines. The effective protocol contains an in-office oral dose plus a take home kit. For those with increased concerns, it may be wise to book a consult to discuss other immune supportive options such as vitamin D, Reishi mushroom, Echinacea or other products. Naturopathic consults are covered by most extended health care plans.

Call us a few months before your mortgage maturity date and let us explore your options for you, FREE OF CHARGE! We want you to make the most of this powerful position you are in, being up for renewal you can move lenders with no prepayment penalty so the question is, what are they willing to do to keep you as a client?

Whether you are a snow bird who will DR. PAUL GENEAU be away for several months, or just planning a vacation, consider your eye care needs well in advance of your trip. It can be devastating, when you are far from home, to break your glasses or lose your contact lenses. Having a spare pair, or at least a written prescription with you, can salvage your trip. Consider having your eyes examined, so that you have a current prescription and can be assured of no surprises regarding the health of your eyes. We will be happy to discuss with you any specific needs you may have, such as prescription sunglasses, or contact lenses for sports. Your eyes deserve an optometrist!

CHIROPRACTOR

250-390-5371

furniture

Patients with carpal tunnel syndrome are frequently seen in chiropractic practice, and in many cases, a course of treatment of the neck, shoulder, elbow and wrist eliminates the symptoms of the nerve compression. The blood supply and nerve supply to the arm arise from the shoulder and neck areas. If the veins or lymph channels near the neck are slightly compressed by overly tight muscles, or the sympathetic nerves to the arm are irritated, this can affect the returning blood supply or lymphatic fluid supply from the arm and cause swelling at the wrist. Or the median nerve may be partially compressed near its origin in the spine, in the shoulder or arm, or the elbow, and this makes the nerve very vulnerable to slight pressure at the wrist as well. If the pressure at the spine, shoulder or elbow is released, the numbness and weakness may subside. It is always advisable to try more conservative approaches first. A consultation with your chiropractor could reveal a possible cause which may be corrected without surgery.

The holidays come upon us sooner than we expect. Social gatherings, laughter JON WATERHOUSE, BA and connecting with loved ones are the best of what the season offers. However, if your hearing has changed, the holidays can be challenging. If you’re having trouble following conversations when more than one person is speaking, or talking from another room, you may have hearing loss. If hearing aids are the right solution for your hearing loss, it’s best to get them before the holidays, so you can adjust to the sounds you will regain. You’ll feel confident in your conversations again, just in time for your first holiday party. Call Connect Hearing today to book your complimentary hearing screening and Free two-week hearing aid trial.

I empathize with parents that struggle to watch their teen(s) navigate the adolescent years. Adolescence today is even more difficult due to multiple factors: including ANGELA SLADE, MA the major advancements in technology. That said, my answer to this question is simple but not easy. Be a strong, healthy role model. It is vital to teach your daughter how to feel about herself and her body. Ask yourself, does the way you feel about yourself and your body conflict with how you want your daughter to feel about herself? Are you critical of yourself, your body and/or your eating habits? Are you skipping meals, dieting, not exercising, over exercising! I say you need to ‘be the change you want to see’. As parents, if we want good things for our children, we are required to model them in our own life. If you are not - that is okay. Integrating changes can create a great bonding and growing experience for you and your daughter and the impacts can influence the whole family. If you want her to feel good about herself – you need to feel good about yourself too! Talk to your daughter openly. She will appreciate your honesty. The conversations can actually deepen your relationship because she will view you as real and authentic. Teens ask for this in adults all the time when they are in my counselling office. Trust me on this one. Also, help your daughter connect with strong female role models in the community or a counsellor. Expanding her connections allows her to explore issues, emotions, and curiosities in safe and empowering environments. Strong role models can give girls the opportunity to ask questions and explore their developing identity with someone who is removed from the family and can make a positive impact on their healthy development.

Are small retailers going by the wayside with all the big box stores out JOHN ROGERS there, can you compete? I’ve never felt that I had to compete. Any box store has huge buying power and supplies almost any product cheaply. What they can’t do is what we excel at, knowing our products and more importantly being able to take the time with each client to get to know what they actually need, not what they think they want. The other thing a box store can’t do is buying locally. Over 87% of what we sold this year is made in B.C. Another 3% is made in the U.S.A. This gives Lynn and I the ability to go and see where and how are products are made, that leads to better quality control.

Do you have any tips on denture care?

■ Denturist

Photo Rejuvenation is one way to treat common skin discolouration such as brown spots, age or liver spots and broken capillaries. Photo Rejuvenation uses MOREEN REID Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to lighten and brighten skin, and fade unwanted discolouration. It works like this: a hand piece is passed over the skin and delivers pulses of light to the area being treated. Depending on the wavelength being used, that light pulse will target a particular colour in the skin (like red for broken capillaries) or even hair follicles. For skin discolouration, the light breaks down the pigment so that it can move to the surface of the skin and be sloughed off during regular skin care. As an added bonus, the treatment stimulates the collagen in the skin, improving texture, repairing sun damage, and decreasing fine lines. At Rewind MedSpa, I use the BBL Sciton for Photo Rejuvenation. This is a medical grade, FDA approved Intense Pulsed Light system able to treat many different skin problems. It’s an excellent IPL system, and provides gradual and cumulative results so there is no startling change in your appearance. Instead, colour fades over the course of four to eight treatments done every three to four weeks. In some cases you may want to combine your IPL Photo Rejuvenation treatment with other procedures such as the SilkPeel Dermalinfusion or chemical peels. Other people will notice your more revitalized and youthful looking skin, but no one will know why.

Experts’ Advice

Your dentures should be made of high quality acrylic and need to be maintained regularly. In time, your TED CARSON dentures will lose their smooth, shiny finish due to scrubbing them with a denture brush or by the very nature of the foods we eat. Once this smooth surface is gone, stains and plaque will be harder to remove. Calculus may adhere to the surfaces of the denture, generally around the neck of the teeth. Daily cleaning with a soft denture brush and occasional soaking in a PROFESSIONAL strength denture cleaner such as ‘Renew’ (available from our office) will assist in keeping your dentures clean and comfortable. Have your dentures checked annually. The denturist will examine your denture for wear and fit. Replace your dentures about every 5 years, depending on the amount of wear on the teeth and the shrinkage of your gums. Studies have shown that it is not good for your overall health to wear the same dentures beyond 5 years due to bacteria and other viruses which live on and in the acrylic of your denture. However, we now have a new product in our office - ‘Medical Interporous’ DISINFECTING Denture Soak from Europe, which will actually get into the pores of the acrylic denture and kill any bacteria. For personal, professional denture care, contact Carson Denture Clinic for a free consultation.

I want to be an organ donor when I die. Is this something I must include in my Will or is it sufficient TIAH M. WORKMAN to tell someone or just have it noted on my drivers licence?

■ Notary Public

Although you should certainly share your decision with family members so that they are aware of your wishes, you must register with the Organ Donor Registry to be an organ donor in British Columbia. The Organ Donor Registry replaces all previous ways of recording your wishes, including signing up through your B.C. Driver’s Licence or Care Card. You may register by completing an Organ Donor Registry Card and mailing it to the British Columbia Transplant Society or you may register online at www.transplant.bc.ca. p Once you have made the decision and registered to become an organ donor it is legally binding, although you can change your decision at any time. For more information or to request an Organ Donor Registry Card, call the British Columbia Transplant Society at 1-800-663-6189.

How can I make sure advertising will work for my company? Message: The essential first step in advertising is to figure out what message to send to your customers. Advertising is simply a way to send a message based on your marketing plan and sound business strategy. Repetition: An advertising campaign is a planned appeal to the client’s potential customers, using the power of repetition. The power of repetition reinforces the advertisers message. Consistency equates with familiarity, familiarity equates with confidence and confidence equates with sales.

real estate Selling in a Buyer’s Market

The two most important factors after location are PRICE and CONDITION TIM WAIT however FLEXIBILITY is a close fourth. Buyers know that prices have run up during the last several years and that prices are now adjusting to the current market. As many Sellers face the new reality of a Buyers’ market, many are in uncharted waters. To set your listing price at what you can get, not what you think it’s worth you need CURRENT MARKET INFORMATION, and lots of it. Beware of anyone who does a quick walk through of your home and then throws a listing price at you. Other important factors are having an Internet Strategy that includes Professional photographs and Professionally staging your home for that great first impression. Make sure that you hire a full time Realtor to market your home in a Buyers’ Market, call me with your questions, Tim Wait. For information on how to sell your home in a Buyer’s market log onto www. timwait.com and click on Buyer’s Page.

DEATHS

Lloyd Sproule 1922-2012 Lloyd Sproule passed away peacefully on Saturday, November 3, 2012 at Nanaimo Seniors Village. He was 89 years old. Many long-time Nanaimo residents will remember Lloyd as a prominent local lawyer for over thirty years. He was a model for community service, volunteering his time and energy through such organizations as the Nanaimo Community Foundation, The Royal Canadian Legion, Rotary Club, Kiwanis and the Mount Benson Senior Citizens Housing Society, to name just a few. Born near Watson, Saskatchewan, December 18, 1922, Lloyd served honourably in World War II. After the War, Lloyd obtained his degree as a Civil Engineer from the University of Saskatchewan. Lloyd worked for over 15 years as a Civil Engineer before returning to the University of British Columbia to obtain a law degree. He articled in Nanaimo and when called to the bar, decided to set up practice in Nanaimo in 1966. A lifelong carpenter and builder, Lloyd was never happier than when he had a hammer in his hand working on a new project or renovation. On several occasions he would muse: “Many lawyers in this town made a lot more money than me, but I’m the only one who ever wore out a shovel.â€? Lloyd was pre-deceased by his daughter, Lee and his sister, Geraldine. Lloyd is survived by his wife of 61 years, Doris; his son, George (Diane) and brothers, Ron (June) and Finn (Faye). As per his wishes, there will be no service. In lieu of owers, the family would request that you make a donation to a local charity in remembrance of Lloyd Sproule.

Clippers look to get back to winning ways

Junior ’Dawgs win playoff thriller I

BARSBY’S JV team bounces to 40-33 win.

BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

The last high school football game in Nanaimo this season was the best of them all. The Barsby Bulldogs junior varsity team pulled off a 40-33 comeback victory over the Argyle Pipers on Wednesday night at Merle Logan Field. Playing under the lights, the junior ’Dawgs scored 16 unanswered points in the last three and a half minutes to erase a two-score lead. “They don’t get much tighter than this at the JV level,” said Matt H e i n r i c h s, B a r s by coach. “There was a lot of ups and downs and there was moments when I could feel us starting to deflate and then we had kids step up and make great plays.” Argyle broke two big plays for touchdowns to start the fourth quarter, building a 33-24 lead. But after a big stop by Barsby’s defence, North Rainey made a good punt return, then completed a 24-yard passing touchdown to Trentyn Anderson. Cole Smith recovered the ensuing onside kick, and Anderson scored a four-yard rushing TD to give his team the lead. Argyle had time on the clock for one more drive, but time ran out on the visitors.

“It was all about the bounce …” said Anderson. “A lot of players were down, a lot of players were scared, but because we bounced, we came back. And we played a hell of a game today.” The Pipers were a Goliath-sized team for JV, and Heinrichs said his players resembled a bunch of mosquitos swarming a buffalo. But Barsby was successful in getting 11 men to the football, gang tackling, and playing as a team. “It’s not about the size of the player, it’s about the size of the heart,” Anderson said. Smith had a receiving touchdown and a rushing touchdown and Mark Dhamia had Barsby’s other TD, a one-handed grab. The win advances the Bulldogs to B.C. High School Football’s AA junior varsity semifinals, where they will face the Mission Roadrunners in a neutralsite game Wednesday (Nov. 21) at 3 p.m. at the Burnaby Lakes field complex. The junior ’Dawgs will go into that game a stronger team after this week’s experience winning a playoff thriller. “It gave us a lot of spirit, to do this,” Anderson said. GRID BITS … The Nanaimo District Islanders were also embroiled in AA junior varsity quarter-final action on Wednesday, but their season came to an end with a 41-8 loss to Abbotsford Collegiate in a road game.

The Nanaimo Clippers have been earning points pretty consistently, but that doesn’t mean that they’re about to shrug off the odd loss here and there. The city’s B.C. Hockey League team saw its four-game win streak end Wednesday in a 4-2 setback on the road against the Alberni Valley Bulldogs. “There’s definitely no such thing as ‘just one of those nights.’ We expect to win every time we play,” said Mike Vandekamp, Clippers coach. “We weren’t happy with the way that we competed from top to bottom.” The game was evenly played, he said, with Nanaimo carrying the play in the first period, Alberni carrying the play in the second period, and the third period split down the middle. It was the home team, though, that snapped the 2-2 tie with six minutes left on an ugly goal. “It ramped up over the goalie and fell in the net. It wasn’t really a glorious scoring opportunity,” Vandekamp said. The Bulldogs then added an empty netter to ice the win. The Clippers’ goals came from Reid Sturos and Chris Rygus and Jayson Argue made 22 saves in defeat. The Clips didn’t have to stew over the loss very long, as they returned to action Friday after press time with a game against the Langley Rivermen at Frank Crane Arena. Nanaimo is back on home ice tonight (Nov. 17) to host the division-leading Victoria Grizzlies. The teams have played twice already this season, with the Clips and Grizz each winning once. “The games that we’ve played with them so far have had a pretty good level of intensity to them,” Vandekamp said. GAME ON … Nanaimo and Victoria play tonight at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena.

AA varsity Bulldogs expect intense quarter-final The Barsby Bulldogs know that this is the point in football season where they have to play their best to win. John Barsby Community Secondary School’s AA varsity football team will face the Pitt Meadows Marauders today (Nov. 17) at 3 p.m. in B.C. High School Football’s quarter-finals at the University of British Columbia. “Physically a really good matchup between the two teams,” said Rob Stevenson, Bulldogs coach.

“We have similar rosters in terms of athleticism.” Barsby is a battle-tested team full of playoff veterans. “We’ve been there before so we kind of know what to expect …” said Dexter Shea, Barsby wingback. “We take the mentality that this could be our last play, that could be our last play. There’s injuries and you never know what happens, so you’ve just got to give out your best.”

Nanaimo high schools have a lot of senior girls’ volleyball teams in the title hunt this weekend. Island championships are being decided today (Nov. 17). Dover Bay Secondary School’s senior AAAA girls are hosting Islands in their gym and are hoping to be in today’s Island final, set for 3:30 p.m. following semifinal action at noon. “We have a little bit of experience, we have a little bit of leadership, we have some good chemistry and that gets us through some matches,” said Dave Nelson, coach of the Dover girls. The Nanaimo District Islanders senior AAA girls won the North Island championship last weekend at Campbell River, beating Ballenas 21-25, 25-18, 15-10. They are ranked No. 2 in B.C. and are the favourites at Islands in Victoria. The Cedar Spartans senior AA girls also won North Islands last week, defeating Brentwood at Mill Bay. Cedar was the No. 2 seed heading into this weekend’s Island championships, also in Victoria.
