Concern raised over school budget cuts Dozens appear in delegations before trustees to voice concern over effects on children BY JENN M C GARRIGLE THE NEWS BULLETIN
Emotional parents and school district employees were among more than 200 people who showed up to a public meeting Thursday evening to give trustees feedback on proposed budget cuts. Nanaimo school district is facing a $4.7-million shortfall in its 2013-14 budget and last week, staff presented trustees with about two dozen proposed cuts that would help balance the books. If implemented, the cuts would result in a loss of 10 teaching positions and about eight support workers. Cuts include closing the District Resource Centre at the old Dufferin Crescent school site; moving English-stream students at Quarterway and Davis Road elementary schools to neighbouring schools; moving junior learning alternative students back to catchment schools; and eliminating positions, including: the gifted/enrichment resource teacher, two behaviour resource teachers, the safe schools coordinator, the early years coordinator and two caretakers. Of the two dozen presentations trustees heard Thursday evening, about half a dozen were from Nanaimo-area parents and educators; the remainder were
parents from Davis Road speaking out, sometimes emotionally, about the proposal to move English-track students from the school. Quarterway parents Leonard Seigler and Lance Martin were distressed about the proposal to move English students to neighbouring schools. “We’re asking these kids to give up their teachers, their friends and everyone they’ve been accustomed to knowing,” said Seigler, adding many parents cannot afford cars and moved to the Quarterway neighbourhood because they can easily walk with their children to school every day. Martin said English-stream parents at Quarterway don’t feel that their children are harmed by split classes – English enrolment at the school is expected to be under 100 students next fall – because children learn at different levels, and the move would inconvenience parents and cause unnecessary stress for students. Kelly Dunaway, general vicepresident of CUPE Local 606, the union that represents support workers, said the morale of his members has hit an all-time low as they are seeing money spent on consultants and a new logo while support worker jobs are being eliminated. ◆ See ‘STAFF’ /4
Race through the wormhole

Hundreds of kindergarten to Grade 4 students from across the school district were at the sports facility throughout the week to take part in Healthamongus Days.

Island yacht race sets sail from Nanaimo in June I NEW oWNErShIP, sponsor helps secure premier sailing event’s future. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
Black Press community newspapers will chart a course alongside sailing yachts from across the Pacific Northwest for the Black Press Van Isle 360° 2013 International Yacht Race. With a race organizer in place, Black Press announced its sponsorship of the event Monday. Formerly known as the Cadillac Van Isle 360° International Yacht Race, the event, which starts and finishes in Nanaimo, has run since 1999 when Nanaimo yachters Wayne Gorrie and Janine Bell organized the competition and attracted 14 boats to circumnavigate Vancouver Island. The race has run every other year on the odd year since 2001 and has become the most challenging yachting event in the region. In 2011 Blast Performance Sailing acquired the rights to the event with Jeffrey Motley, owner of the Vancouverbased company, and his wife Sylvia, becoming the race’s lead organizers. “They were looking for someone to take it over and it was one of those things where the sailing community really didn’t want to see the race disappear,” Motley said. “The long and the short is we decided to take it on and keep it going.” Black Press, the News Bulletin’s parent company, was asked to sponsor this year’s race because of the news agency’s ability to provide in-depth coverage both regionally and at a community level. Mark Warner, president of Black Press Vancouver Island operations, said he considers being given the opportunity

Yachters set sail from Nanaimo and circumnavigate Vancouver Island in the Van Isle 360, which attracts Canadian and international boaters from across the Pacific Northwest. The event began in 1999, happening every other year since then.
to become title sponsor of the event an honour. “As our staff, readers and customers are residents throughout western Canada and the U.S.A., we feel it is important to invest and participate in the activities and organizations that make our communities a better place to live and play,” Warner said. “Many of us grew up on or near the ocean, and we respect the beauty and incredible experiences it has to offer.” Motley and Black Press share the same goals to promote the race and the communities taking part, and enhance Island tourism. “What we want to do, if we can, is build the race to the same level as the (Rolex) Sydney Hobart Yacht Race in Australia where people wake up on Boxing Day and watch a sailboat race,” Motley said. The Van Isle 360° is truly an interna-
tional event with two-thirds of entrants drawn from the Island and Lower Mainland, and one-third of contenders from the U.S. Pacific Northwest. Motley is also trying to make people aware of the world-class levels of competition happening in local waters, hoping they aspire to race one day. The big races are the drivers of the industry. “In the Pacific Northwest this is the race,” Motley said. “Where else can you have two weeks of summer adult camp, chasing everybody around the rock and just having a great time?” It can be a dangerous venture, too. In 2011, crews were hit with 100 km/h winds Georgia Strait and one craft struck a whale, shattering its rudder. For 2013, race organizers are providing a safety at sea course and at least two crew members certified through the course must be on each craft for each
leg of the race. More than 350 sailors have been put through the course for this year’s event. The earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan in 2011 could be a factor on the west coast of the Island this year. An estimated 1.5 million to 3 million tonnes of debris is drifting across the Pacific Ocean that could land on North American shores. Heavier items are expected to arrive with higher frequency throughout the spring and summer of 2013. “One of the most interesting aspects – and we don’t know how big it’s going to be – is the potential for tsunami debris off the West Coast,” Motley said. The Black Press Van Isle 360° 2013 International Yacht Race runs June 8-22. The dates are determined by the timing of slack tides during daylight hours in Seymour Narrows near Campbell River. “All the planning revolves around when there are slack tides so the boats can get through,” Motley said. Black Press reporters will be there regardless of weather, time and tide to record the competitive seamanship of more than 20 crews registered to take on this year’s challenge and showcase the communities supporting the race. “Good luck and fair weather to all the entrants this year. We look forward to following and describing on our pages your adventures around our beautiful Vancouver Island and the warm hospitality you will find in each port,” Warner said. “It truly reflects what we find in each and every one of the beautiful communities we are established in – a group of rugged and adventurous souls from the beautiful Pacific Northwest that test their endurance every day and have a lot of fun doing so.” For more information about the Black Press Van Isle 360° 2013 International Yacht Race, please visit the event website at www.vanisle360.com. photos@nanaimobulletin.com
Prosecutors put Big Bad Wolf on trial to demonstrate court system for Law Week By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
Nanaimo’s lawyers, a provincial court judge and sheriffs will host a mock trial and tours of the Nanaimo Court House as part of Law Week 2013 celebrations. Law Week is celebrated annually by the B.C. Branch of the Canadian Bar Association to familiarize citizens, especially youth, with the Canadian justice system by employing
themes to showcase the justice system in communities. This year’s theme is Access to Justice: the Role of Public Opinion. Events across the province are held throughout April and include interactive displays, courthouse tours, free law classes, contests and mock trials. Sabrina Yeudall, a family law lawyer with Warsh Law Corporation and one of the organizers behind events scheduled in
Nanaimo, said Law Week helps make the justice system appear more accessible to the public. “I think it’s very important for people to have a sense of familiarity with their justice system and to have the opportunity to come and attend inside the courthouse,” Yeudall said. “Often people are never in a courtroom until something has gone wrong and it is there for service to the public.” This year’s events at Nanaimo courthouse on 35 Front St. hap-
pen Tuesday (April 23) 4:306:30 p.m. There will be plenty to see and do at this year’s open house, which includes tours of the courthouse and its library, sheriff’s van and cells, plus exhibits by community resource groups and a mock trial: Regina v. The Big Bad Wolf, presided over by Doug Cowling, provincial court judge, in which the wolf will face multiple charges approved by the Crown, the least of which, given how the
wolf has proven his pedigree on numerous occasions, could include everything from fraud and uttering threats to mischief and wilful property damage. Yeudall will not divulge whether the wolf has a hope of beating the charges. “I wouldn’t want to take away any of the suspense from the event,” Yeudall said.

ment regarding how they are here for our students,” he said. “Yet, when presented with an opportunity to put their money where their mouth is, they cite legal ramifications as to why they cannot do this.” Justin Green, president of the Nanaimo District Teachers’ Association, told trustees that any cuts to teaching staff will not allow for adequate support for students. “Teachers are at the tipping point – we already are past it,” he said. “I’m asking you to have second thoughts, deliberate, make amendments and lobby the government. But do not revisit the same old budget cutting strategies.” A contingent of teacher -librarians implored trustees to keep the District Resource Centre. Tammy Reynolds said many schools do not have the technology required to find online or digital alternatives to the resources in the centre – some still rely on a TV and VCR – so this proposal could create have and havenot schools. “We need resources and books in the hands of our kids today, not waiting for a viable replacement one day,” she said, adding that sharing is cheaper. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Teachers target new learning models
I
focuS lESS on data, more on skills.
By Jenn M c GarriGle The News BulleTiN
Staff at Dover Bay Secondar y School hope to take a different approach to learning at the school. In September, a new administrative team – Robyn Gray as principal and Bob Brooks and Margaret Olsen as vice-principals – took over the ropes at the school and started a conversation about contemporary educational research and innovative learning models. “The three of us very much think alike in terms of what we think needs to happen in schools,” said Brooks. “At the beginning of the year, with the new team coming in, our focus has been on personalized learning and looking to develop a bit of a 21st century learning approach.” Brooks describes personalized learning as tailoring education programs to each individual’s unique needs, requiring students to take more ownership of their learning, and 21st century learning as preparing students for future jobs.
Students have information readily available at their fingertips through their cellphones and laptops, he explained, and what the education system needs to do is focus less on memorizing facts and statistics and more on learning skills such as how to use technology, communicate effectively and collaborate with others. Some of the teaching staff visited schools that employ different personalized/21st century learning techniques, such as a school in San Diego that uses the projectbased learning model. Project-based learning focuses on big picture ideas and connects what students learn in class with hands-on work. Brooks said the model gets students collaborating to answer questions and problem solve – at the San Diego school, students worked with university-level researchers on a marine biodiversity survey that became of real value and significance to the community. After seeing project-based learning in action, a group of about a dozen teachers at Dover formed a committee to look into incorporating this model at their
own school. Brooks said this change calls for a shift in the way people think about education and the idea is to raise awareness and try to build a community approach. Educators presented the learning model to the school’s parent group and the discussion morphed into a series of talks to students, parents and interested community members this spring. “It really has been about the partnership between our PAC and our district,” said Brooks, adding
attendance has averaged around 30 people at the meetings. The goal is to set up a project-based learning at Dover by September 2014, he said. “We’re going to take our time and come up with a model,” he said. “We don’t have it fleshed out. It might look a little bit like a whole grade. It’s like going to the moon – we’ve decided it would be a good idea to go and we’ve decided who wants to go. It’s a huge endeavour because a lot of people don’t know what it looks like.”

The City of Nanaimo is reminding dog owners to keep their dogs on leash and stick to designated trails in city parks with the most sensitive ecosystems. Each dog is only one of hundreds that recreate in Nanaimo’s parks – the cumulative effects of all the dogs that visit the same area can be significant. Some of the park ecosys-
tems are important habitats for wildlife, fish and the foreshore, which might be impacted by dog activity that, at first glance, seems harmless and fun. Birds that nest on or near the ground are particularly susceptible to harm by offleash dogs. Nests on the ground or in low shrubs are very difficult to see and offleash dogs can easily destroy
or dislodge them. Keeping a dog on leash in natural park areas is not only a responsible decision, it’s also the law. City of Nanaimo bylaws require dogs be leashed outside designated off-leash areas. Violators can be fined $150 per dog. For more information about dogs in Nanaimo parks and trails, please visit www. nanaimo.ca.

The News BulleTiN
Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce members will have a chance to have their business-related questions and concerns answered directly by Nanaimo-area election candidates during a business forum Tuesday (April 23). The forum takes place from 7-9 p.m. at the Coast Bastion Inn. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and members of the general public are welcome to attend. Susan Allen, chief executive officer of the chamber, said all five Nanaimo riding candidates – Conservative Bryce Crigger, NDP incumbent Leonard Krog, Green Party Ian Gartshore, Liberal Party Walt Andersen, and independent Brunie Brunie – have confirmed their participation. “It should be interesting,” said Allen. “Some of the topics we expect to hear about are B.C. Ferries, (Fortis BC) common rate issue for the Island, and the carbon tax, and any other issues facing business. And I know some of the questions from the local community, even though they’re municipal issues, the candidates will be asked where they stand on things like commercial tax rates, for example.” Questions can be submitted beforehand by fax at 250-756-1584, e-mail at info@nanaimochamber.bc.ca, or an online form found at www.nanaimochamber. bc.ca. Only written submissions will be accepted and all questions will be looked at by scrutineers and asked by a moderator. reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

An industry that once formed the backbone of the Island economy is making a comeback, and Dwight Yochim, executive director of the Truck Loggers Association, is touring the coast with the message that there will be plenty of good jobs in the future and the framework for skills training needs to be built now. Yochim is meeting with mayors and councils, schools, TLA members and other stakeholders from Nanaimo to Port Hardy this week in an effort to promote the logging industry and the career opportunities it will offer in the future. “There is a lot of optimism out there,” said Yochim, adding that of the TLA’s 440 member companies 32 are in Nanaimo. “We see this as a sunrise industry for a lot of the communities here. There are a lot of opportunities happening out there right now and if we can work with the governments to figure out how to maximize our annual allowable cut that provides a lot of growth and can help these communities continue to prosper.” Yochim began his five-day journey up Island on the same day the provincial NDP announced its five-year plan to support the forest industry. In a release, NDP leader Adrian Dix says his party will invest more than $400 million over five years to improve skills training, forest health, support industryled efforts to expand global mar-
kets, reduce raw log exports and enhance value-added activity. “Our top priority, one that’s shared with the industry, is to solve the shortage of skilled workers in the sector by making significant investments in training and apprenticeships,” said Dix. Steve Thomson, minister of forests, lands and natural resource operations, has said that over the next 10 years 25,000 job openings are anticipated due to retirements and economic growth in B.C. alone with more than 60,000 anticipated across Canada. That need has prompted Yochim to talk with post-secondary institutions like Vancouver Island University to consider establishing a program designed to prepare students for working in the forest. “We started a conversation on the larger side of the industry which is the logging side of things,” said Doug Corrin, VIU professor of forest technology. “The forest technology side is the smaller part for TLA. Heavy duty mechanic operators, heavy equipment operators, road builders, electricians, the whole gamut. We’re definitely interested in fostering a dialogue between the truck loggers and ourselves and other key partners to see what the needs are out there and determine how we can fill that void.” TLA already supports VIU forestry students by providing 10 $1,000 bursaries annually – half of all bursaries that forestry students can earn. The association also fosters a strong relationship with faculty and students by inviting, and paying for, attendance at the annual general meeting so future workers

can establish connections in the industry and faculty can stay up to date on the latest trends and information. In Port Alberni, TLA is working with Western Forest Products and Timber West to provide a project-based learning program where high school students experience forest practices in the woods first-hand. The association recently commissioned a poll to improve its understanding of public sentiment toward the forest industry and found that while most people are optimistic about its future, many believe there is a shortage of jobs in the industry. With forestry gaining a foothold out of its decade-long slump, Yochim says the future is bright for the industry as foreign markets rebound and demand for B.C. timber increases thanks to diversification strategies implemented to see it through the dark days. He adds, however, improvements can be made to policy to give forestry a further boost. “One thing that neither party is talking about is the unharvested cut, they just don’t seem to really care about it,” said Yochim. “When I started in the industry
we had a world-class inventory that the rest of the world was pretty envious of, and then we didn’t do a lot with it ... The message I have for both parties is we have 140 per cent more logs sitting on the stump than we do for export over the last 10 years, but no one is talking about it. We have wood sitting out in the forest we’re not harvesting and that’s based on the annual allowable cut government has set.” Yochim said the TLA wants to work with whichever party wins the provincial election May 14 to develop a strategy to get the wood moving and return logging to the prosperity it has enjoyed in the past. “If we combine all of the government forest and the privately owned forests, not only could we feed all of the mills and prevent them from sitting idle, we’d have about four or five million cubic metres left over to export. We could feed the mills and export at the same time,” he said. The TLA was formed 70 years ago when a group of independent coastal loggers decided they needed representation in Victoria as government was making critical and policy decisions. reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

Savvy voters shape future
The 2013 provincial election will be one of the most important in a generation. At a time when the economy appears to be in slow motion, yet demands on the public purse are increasing, voters need to pay attention to who’s running. Of course, that’s said in every election – to no avail. Last time around, in the 2009 provincial election, only about 50 per cent of voters bothered to cast a vote. Who is to blame and will things be any different this year? It’s hard to say. Is it negative advertising that turns people off? Some politicians say so and promise a more positive campaign. Will that end indifference or will people turn away from boredom? Is it helplessness and apathy that keep people away from the polls? Many people simply don’t connect with government. Why? Perhaps B.C. voters simply distrust anything politicians say. Clearly there is a disconnect and the media may have contributed to this malaise by blowing every little incident out of proportion. As in the story of the boy who cried wolf, many voters simply tune out after a while, yet, sadly, when there is a real issue many eligible voters simply don’t see the connection between their vote and government policy. Instead, they leave the field to special interest groups – business, unions, lobbyists – to hijack the results. The truth is that politicians will only be accountable if held accountable. The public has a right to toss any of them out if they don’t do what they promised, so voters need to pay attention to what politicians say and they need to find out who they are. Over the next few weeks, the News Bulletin will be covering the region’s ridings with information from local candidates. The rest is up to you.

Most polling firms have reported steady gains for the Liberals since last summer due initially to the rock solid stewardship of interim leader Bob Rae and then to Trudeau’s entry into the leadership race in October. There is another reason why Harper is so keen to invest millions of party resources to nationally humiliate Trudeau. It diverts attention from a swelling revolt on the wingding flank of his caucus. There is a group of more than 20 Conservative MPs – like Edmonton MP Brent Rathgeber – who are sick and tired of having their parliamentary voices muted by their dictatorial PM. In the coming weeks, Rathgeber and other members of this cabal will be aggressively lobbying the Speaker for new rules that facilitate open debate in the House of Commons. Rathgeber says: “I have, from time to time, constructively criticized our own government’s policies.” As far as Harper is concerned, that’s bordering on treason.

Deposit fee on butts solves litter woes To the Editor,
I would like to propose the idea of a returnable cigarette butt deposit fee for British Columbia. Cigarette butts are by far and away the leading item of litter in B.C., similar to the situation worldwide. They are especially problematic in dense urban areas and on coastlines. In addition to being unsightly, cigarette butts have several other malevolent characteristics. They are non-biodegradable, and leach toxic organic chemicals and heavy metals into the environment impacting soil, fresh- and salt-water. Additionally they are
often directly ingested by various aquatic and landbased organisms, and at times even by our children. Furthermore, discarded cigarette butts are also a major cause of highly destructive and even deadly fires in forests and elsewhere. And cleaning up butt waste is expensive, costing cities and taxpayers. Of course the above list doesn’t even mention that they are derived from a product that not only provides no real benefits whatsoever, but is actually the leading cause of preventable death in Canada and worldwide. Littering cigarette butts
and empty packs is illegal in B.C., however, given that more than one-third of the billions of cigarettes smoked daily are currently littered despite the nearuniversal recognition of such as being “the wrong thing to do”, awareness campaigns and increased enforcement have only transient and marginal effects. On the other hand, charging a returnable deposit fee (for instance five cents/butt equals $1/pack returned full) will have an immediate and widespread effect. If, additionally, the program were structured to provide a smaller reim-
bursement (say one cent) for already littered butts, it would mobilize bottlecollecting members of the public and essentially lead to the near-disappearance of all butt litter overnight. Visible tobacco litter begets more litter of all sorts, not to mention disrespect for the law, and serving as free, albeit perverse, advertising for the tobacco industry and as omnipresent triggers to the smoker wanting to quit or at least cut down. Therefore a cigarette butt deposit program may even end up having unintended external benefits.

Flaunting justice system dictates need for inquiry To The Editor,
Re: Better uses for cash spent on inquiry, Letters, April 13. Yes, the millions of dollars that might be spent holding an inquiry into the B.C. Rail scandal could be better spent, but at what cost to our justice system? Just because some of the robbers pleaded guilty, do we let the get-away driver off scot free? Why were the robbers given a “get out of jail free” card? Why did we, the taxpayers, have to pay for the robbers’ lawyers? Was the robbery an inside job? Was the judge directed to withhold the heavy hand of the law by the attorney general’s office? I am talking about criminals here, not just some bad boys, caught with a hand in the cookie jar. I am also talking about the bosses of those bad boys, our elected officials, those who have tried to make those bad boys seem
like little angels. The price to be paid for an inquiry need not be too great. The RCMP have all of that withheld evidence collected in the legislature raids, also all of the records held by the Basi-Virk lawyers should be made available. Those same lawyers, who claimed lawyer-client privilege, gave up that right when they accepted the $6-million payment from the B.C. taxpayers, the actual clients. As taxpayers, we also have a right to see all documentation held by the provincial prosecutor’s and the attorney general’s offices, so an inquiry should not be too difficult or costly. No one really wants to spend a lot of money on this inquiry, but it needs to be done. After all, a criminal is a criminal and should be put in jail. Where did these people get the right

to flaunt our justice system? Is it just because they hold public office, or work for those in office? Their illegal actions can never be acceptable in a just society. Without this inquiry, we are letting a criminal element get away with its crimes. If these same people had robbed a bank, then it would be different. Banks are privately owned, and thus, it seems, more worthy of more protection under the law than the public purse is.

Delaying decision a waste of time To the Editor,
Re: Intent to destroy Colliery dams remains, Letters, April 16. Perhaps Tammie Wylie doesn’t under-
stand that the dams are man-made and created the situation that it is today. There would be no problem had the dams never been built. People use areas for recreation and when they get changed, new areas are created or the use of the area is altered. This constant harping on an issue that needs resolution is a waste of time and energy.

ER needs doctors, not fancy frills To the Editor,
I accompanied my daughter to the Nanaimo Regional General Hospital emergency room April 13, and have to say that although it is larger and brighter, it
is an obvious waste of the taxpayers’ money. An information desk with glass coloured inlay, but no person manning it. A bright ticker tape billboard welcoming you, how much did that cost? It now takes two assistants to check one person in. Why not serve two needy people at once? No sign of an RN or doctor to triage patients, no medical equipment to be seen. Waiting around to go to the next waiting area where we were greeted by costly-looking seating, unnecessary touch screen games for kids, two glass tubes filled with bubbles and fake fish, bottles of sanitizer laid out like toys. Yes, it all looks fancy, but in no way is it practical. Who are they trying to impress? Spend the money where it is needed. We need more doctors and less fancy, useless stuff.

If you must raise your voice to be heard in a noisy place, the noise level is harmful. If you are unable to hear normal conversation three feet away from you, the noise is too high. If speech seems muffled after you leave a noisy place, the noise level was damaging. If you experience ringing in your ears or tinnitus after noise exposure, the noise level was too intense. Noise induced hearing loss is a function of loudness as well as accumulated exposure time. Be prudent and avoid loud noise levels when possible. I strongly advise that you wear hearing protection when it is not possible to avoid harmful noise levels.

I just removed my pools winter cover and the water is green. What should I do? The pool was not winterized properly. Proper sanitation, as well as water balance levels are essential to prevent this situation prior to closing the pool. Start the pools circulation and filtration system. The next day, take a litre of the pools water to Calais Spas & Billiards for accurate testing and recommended treatment. You will need to brush the entire interior surface to loosen the algae. Assuming the filtration and circulation system operates effectively, you will need to maintain the following water parameters. FREE Chlorine at 1 to 3 ppm. pH level at 7.3 to 7.7. NEVER any higher or lower. Total Alkalinity from 80 to 120 ppm. Calcium Hardness 200 to 300 ppm. Prevention of these very costly, labour intensive algae blooms is the very best advice! At Calais Spas & Billiards, we GUARANTEE a safe, healthy, clear and algae free pool to those who use our high quality water treatment analysis system and chemical line. If you never want green water again, do yourself a favour, and come to Calais Spas & Billiards.

What is the difference between a Mobile home and a Modular Home? The main differences between Modular and Manufactured (aka mobile homes) are construction standards, materials and foundations. Manufactured / Mobile homes are built on a steel frame and are normally placed on wood TIM WAIT blocking, concrete pillars and sometimes on metal posts. Modular homes are built with a wood floor system and are designed to go on a either a crawlspace or a basement. Modular homes are built to Canadian Standards Association CSA-A277 (Canadian National Building Code) and are built to meet BC Building Code. These Standard Specifications can include engineered floor trusses, 2 x 6 exterior walls, 8’ & 9’ ceilings and primed and painted drywall. Building structural module homes indoors, in a controlled environment, resolves many problems typical of conventional on-site building. Both materials and schedules are less vulnerable to weather conditions. Tolerances are more exact and quality more consistent. Costs are lower and prices and completion dates more reliable, as the work of specialized trades workers is more easily scheduled and coordinated. Full testing of plumbing, wiring, heating and other systems before Modules leave the factory ensures every completed structure still meets the manufacturer’s exacting CSA approved standards. Deerwood Estates is a gated community and the Modular homes were built by Retire West, a family owned company with a solid reputation earned through 25 years of planning, development and management of Modular home communities in BC. Deerwood Estates is distinguished by quality in design and construction and is a Hallmark in tasteful landscaping and attention to detail in the development of streetscapes and generous green space. Call Tim Wait, known by many as Mr. Deerwood to view his many listings in this friendly village that offers a relaxed lifestyle.

Are wood composites and veneers a good choice for furniture, if not what are JOHN ROGERS the better woods to have? Wood composites, MDF, composite board, furniture board are all fancy names for particle board, and you’ll never find them in my stores. The smallest bit of moisture or a couple of moves can really damage these products. I use only solid wood in my store. Pine is a great value wood for starting out or kids furniture, Alder makes a great suite for those wanting a hardwood but not wanting to spend a ton of money, then Oak, and finally Eastern Maple if you want the best. Thanks to Paula for this question, she gets a $100 gift certificate. Send your questions to admin@johnsbedrooms.com
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.
If I get new dentures is there a way to make them stronger?
New on the market, is a strong bio-compatible, TED CARSON comfortable fibre reinforcement system that can be integrated into the acrylic base of your new dentures. It’s strength enables the denture to be made thinner and thus lighter and more comfortable. It is also ideal for dentures over implants as they can be subject to stress where they are attached to the implants. A fractured denture repaired with the fibre material is stronger in the area repaired than the rest of the denture. It is also ideal for adding new teeth to an existing partial denture. Previous traditional repair methods leave a weak spot at the junction of the addition. A fibre reinforced denture is unlikely to break, but if for some extreme reason it does, you will not be embarrassed as the fibres will hold together until you can get it repaired or replaced. For any questions regarding your denture needs, contact Carson Denture Clinic to book a free consultation. Yours in the interest of better dental health.

chiropractor Spring Gardening Time
As the weather warms, we’re thinking about getting out and cleaning up for spring gardening. Here are a few guidelines to DR. KAREN MATTERN make spring gardening a pain-free chore: 1. Stretch before gardening to help prevent problems. 2. Kneel to pull weeds, rather than bending. If weeds are stubborn, loosen them with a trowel or garden fork; don’t yank on them. This strains the neck, upper back and shoulder. 3. Approach any new gardening chore gradually. Do a little at a time, taking frequent breaks to relax or just walk around. Avoid the temptation to try to get everything done at once. 4. Hold and carry heavy pots close to your body. 5. See your family chiropractor for a spring tune-up and some stretches to prevent injury and make it more fun.

My wife and I had our Wills done separately last year after we started living together but before we TIAH M. WORKMAN got married. Nothing is changing as far as executors or the distribution of our estates goes, just that we are now husband and wife and her name has changed. Would you recommend that we update our Wills just so that we are now referring to each other as husband and wife and so that her new name is included?

In my eating disorder counselling practice I often get asked how to help someone that has an eating ANGELA SLADE, MA, RCC disorder. First, support the person. Let them know you are aware of what is happening and you care. Second, avoid discussing weight, shape, fatness, and food because it can add to the individual’s fears. Focus on feelings, non-food and non-appearance related conversations and activities. Third, don’t take on the role of the therapist because this can distance the person you are trying to help. Instead, provide information on help and encourage the person to seek help. Fourth, don’t blame individuals for what is happening. Eating disorders are coping mechanisms for distress. Blame creates distance and reinforces a sense of shame and failure. Finally, don’t accept that this problem can be dealt with in isolation. This may mean seeking advice from parents, family members, school staff, a public health nurse or a therapist that specializes in eating disorders. Your efforts may be saving an individual’s life. Early intervention increases the likelihood of a faster recovery with fewer relapses.

My wife and I are retired and currently mortgage free. We are unsure if a mortgage is the right KRISTA HENLEY & thing for us at this age? We want SHARON FAUCHON extra money available for travel and another bigger purchase we are considering, depending on what we decide we will want either $75,000 or $125,000. What should we do?
Our recommendation would be to see us for a Line of Credit on your home. You can qualify for this if your home is currently mortgage free or if there is already a first mortgage on title. Our best rate for a Line of Credit is 3.5% (Prime + .5%), which is a historically low rate and you get the benefit of only paying for what you use. If you have a $150,000 Line of Credit registered on your home but you only have $20,000 used then you only pay the interest on $20,000. This way you do not need to make any decisions rushed and you can also secure yourself funds for the future should anything else come up. If you never use it and a balance of $0 is maintained then no harm done. You can also use and pay the Line of Credit down as you wish on an ongoing basis. This is an excellent product for you. Please call to discuss in more detail, we look forward to offering you free professional advice and helping you to make the right choices for your financing.

Should I take a multivitamin?
Seems like a simple question but answer is surprisingly complicated. Due to soil DR. TONIA WINCHESTER depletion and other factors even the best diets needs to be supplemented at times. However taking an inexpensive multi-vitamin, purchased at a drug store is not beneficial. This is true for three reasons: 1. The amounts of the nutrients are too low to make a therapeutic difference. 2. The form of the nutrients makes it hard for the body to digest, recognize and absorb them. 3. The additives in the tablet prevent your body from breaking it down. To bypass these concerns, I suggest a high-quality, professional-line, multi-vitamin for my patients in the form of a whole food supplement or a greens powder. Lastly, I often inject vitamin combinations into the patients who are severely deficient, usually due to stomach issues. Everything is always customized to the current needs of each individual client. Most extended health plans cover naturopathic consults.

furniture What should I do if I experience a problem with my furniture?
ROBERT BICHLBAUER
All manufacturers have warranties that vary on their coverage and the period of time in which they cover it for. I always look at the warranty myself, as in my experience a good quality manufacturer will have a pretty solid warranty. This tells me they believe in their product. With out a doubt an extended protection plan is always a wise investment. Furniture is going to be used and accidents will happen. These protection plans will give you the peace of mind in knowing that should an accident happen, your furniture is going to be taken care of. If your sales person does not inform you of these plans, it is in your best interest to inquire.

What are some warning signs that I may be in financial trouble and have to consider filing for bankruptcy? Generally speaking, you should probably seek GARETH SLOCOMBE, CA, CIRP help from a bankruptcy trustee, if you are experiencing some or all of the following: • You are unable to pay the minimum on your credit card(s); • You are using credit for items you used to pay for in cash (food, gas etc ); • You are at or near your credit card limits; • You’ve consolidated your debts more than once; • You are receiving harassing phone calls from creditors; • You are stalling one creditor to pay another; This is certainly not a complete list. There may also be other options that are available other than for you to file for bankruptcy, such as filing a proposal to freeze the interest and compromise the amounts of your debts. You should also keep in mind that the earlier you deal with your financial problem, the more likely that any alternative courses of action will be available to you.

Band worth a listen To the Editor,
Recently, I had the pleasure to attend the prestigious B.C. Cadet Honour Band concert. The music was wide and varied, ranging from a complex piece of The Music of Charlie Chaplin to a highly energetic rendition of Michael Bublé’s Save the Last Dance. Throw into the mix popular concert music highlighted by military pomp and ceremony with the exciting sound of the pipes and drums, and the result is an evening of enjoyment and entertainment to keep you on the edge of your seat. But who would expect anything different?
APPLAUSE
This is after all the British Columbia Cadet Honour Band 2013. Under the direction of Lt. Camil Bouchard, former music director of the Canadian Navy’s Pacific Fleet Naden Band, the cadet honour band is comprised of 55 of the top teenage musicians of the Royal Canadian Sea, Army, and Air cadets from across the province. Pipe major Sgt. Maj. Scott Jolly (bagpipes) and lead drummer Sgt. Denby NelsonCossey (tenor drum) from 2422 Canadian Scottish Regiment in
Nanaimo, were selected to play in this year’s band that toured during the teens’ spring break. The tour locations included Nanaimo, Burnaby, Vernon, and Victoria. These youth delivered an eclectic performance with a near capacity audience at all the venues. The aim of the Army Cadet organization is to instill in youth the attributes of good citizenship, leadership, physical fitness and an interest in the activities of the Canadian Forces. This is a concert not to miss next year.

To All Volunteers Everywhere -
Thank You!
VOLUNTEERS: PASSION, ACTION, IMPACT April 21-27, 2013 Now in its 71st year, National Volunteer Week is all about volunteer recognition. This year’s celebration takes place the week of April 21st to 27th, 2013. Canada’s volunteers make a tremendous contribution in communities across the country and around the globe. They make our communities resilient and our country vibrant. Today, volunteers are involved in more ways than ever. Volunteers complete tasks from smartphones while waiting at

the bus stop. They sign and share petitions. They govern organizations as board members. They lead rescue efforts when disasters strike. Every day, Canadians lend a hand to their neighbours and friends. And many of them don’t realize that in doing so they’re volunteering. National Volunteer Week pays tribute to the millions of Canadian volunteers who graciously donate their time and talents to our communities.
Thanks! Nanaimo Foodshare Society thanks our wonderful Board and numerous volunteers who support our programs and services! Our volunteers contribute over 2,000 volunteer hours a year. Their time and energy is greatly appreciated and makes a huge difference in our community.

TO GET INVOLVED
The Nanaimo and District BC SPCA would like to thank its many volunteers and foster families for all the hard work they have put in throughout 2012 and into 2013.
Without help from these wonderful people we would not be able to provide the level of care that we do for our more than 1000 animals that we took into care last year. To our dogwalkers, cat and small animals carers, foster families and to those who simply help us maintain and clean the shelter we thank you. The donation of one’s time is such a valuable and selfless act and we so appreciate all of you. You make our job much easier. To show our appreciation we will be hosting a volunteer appreciation picnic (meat-free) on Sunday April 28 between noon - 3 pm at Westwood Lake. There will be delicious sandwiches, wonderful salads, desserts and refreshments available all free of charge! We invite all of our volunteers to join us! If you are interested in volunteering, learn more online at spca.bc.ca/nanaimo.
