Foot ferry owners lobby community to support plan

CoMPaNy MuST ink deal with city for service to float. By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN

Christmas light-up
Magician Brent Beadle wows the crowd with some fire eating at the Beban Park social centre as part of the Kris Kringle Craft Market Saturday. Thousands of people turned out to the event, which celebrated its 20th anniversary but its first year in the Nanaimo area.
An agreement with the City of Nanaimo is critical to launching a new passenger ferry service, says Bob Lingwood, managing director of Island Ferries. Lingwood recently called for Nanaimo business people to lobby the local government for a deal that would limit revenue sharing over the next five years. Island Ferries wants to launch a $63-million passenger-only ferry service at the south industrial waterfront, which would be able to shuttle 375 people between downtown Nanaimo and downtown Vancouver in just over an hour. The company – which has invested $10 million in the venture so far – says it’s confident its plan will work. It’s learned from the failings and triumphs of two previous foot ferry operators and knows there’s an appetite for greater travel options in central Vancouver Island. But in order for the new business to launch its two catamarans, it needs a deal with TransLink to use the SeaBus terminal near Canada Place, more investment and a partnership deal with the City of Nanaimo. The local arrangement would have city officials crediting $125,000 back to Island Ferries
each quarter for a total revenue loss of $2.5 million. After five years, the city would start to receive full revenue shares of $700,000 annually. The company is also calling for a 20-year lease and site servicing to the tune of $125,000. Nanaimo city officials have asked for taxpayers to weigh in on the proposal, which they say could take anywhere from two to six months to ink. Island Ferries is calling on its supporters to lobby politicians in their favour. “There are many things that have to be done. I think the agreement with the city is the most critical,” said Lingwood. “It demonstrates to investors the strength of the market and the importance of this service to economic development. “From Island Ferries Services Ltd.’s perspective the structure of the agreement provides long-term tenure and start-up support.” Lining up a port on the Vancouver side will be simple and a straight commercial transaction. Investment is up to other people, not Island Ferries, Lingwood said of other tasks. The foot ferry pitch – and plea for support from Nanaimo’s business community – is being backed by the Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce, which recently accepted Island Ferries as a member. The organization is now encouraging business people to advocate for a city agreement and plans to work with the ferry venture on any challenges it might encounter. u See ‘RESIDENTS’ /4

Province pays grants rather than tax The provincial government will pay Nanaimo close to $400,000 in compensation for property taxes this year. The B.C. government hands out annual grants-in-lieu to compensate municipalities for services to provincial prop-
erties like court houses and ambulance stations. A total $18.2 million will be distributed to 63 communities across B.C. this year, including $395,377 to the City of Nanaimo. – News Bulletin

Orum said. She estimated that two out of 10 people in the area are against the petition, but even if people are pro- or anti-marijuana decriminalization, it doesn’t hurt to sign, she said, as the petition only seeks to have a referendum on decriminalization
in 2014. People can vote against decriminalization in the referendum then if they so desire, she said. “This just makes us eligible for a vote and this makes cannabis lowest police priority, so we’re following the same steps as the Washington and Colorado referendum ... we encourage everyone to come down and sign, even if you’re against it, so that you can exercise your democratic right,” Orum said.

With a December deadline looming, the Sensible B.C. campaign is only about half way to reaching the target for its marijuana decriminalization petition. Signatures from 10 per cent of registered voters in B.C.’s 85 electoral districts are sought – approximately 400,000 signatures – and according to organizers, the number is currently sitting somewhere between the 100,000 and 200,000 mark. “We put out a number a week ago (and) we just said we were at less than half ... but I don’t have a number since then,” said
Dana Larsen, director of the Sensible B.C. campaign. “Our numbers have been going up substantially in the last little while.” More than 1,400 confirmed signatures have been collected in the Nanaimo riding and sent to the head office. Amanda Orum, Nanaimo Sensible B.C. zone manager, estimated that if 150 signatures a day are collected from now until a cut-off date of Dec. 5, the Nanaimo riding will hit the 12-per cent mark. The target for the riding is also signatures from 10 per cent of registered voters (4,001). “When I go into the numbers, our canvassers that are just doing their network around them haven’t submitted their sheets in yet to me, so it’s going to be much larger than that much closer to the cut off,”

Denise Tacon, general manager of the Vancouver Island Conference Centre, decorates the Gift It Forward tree at the Festival of Trees on Saturday. People could purchase the tree and donate it to a family in need. Saturday saw the Festival of Trees tree decorating event at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre.
Festival of Trees entrants are challenged to scavenge, create or buy ornaments to hang on their Christmas trees for the 19th annual Festival of Trees. The halls are decked and decorations hung in the Vancouver Island Conference Centre where at 34 community groups have committed their talents to create a forested Christmas wonderland for display and auction. The Festival of Trees is Vancouver Island University Foundation’s premier annual fundraiser to supply learning spaces and financial support for VIU students. “I’ve asked them to scavenge, create or buy ornaments for the trees,” said Sarah Lane, event consultant. “We’re expecting the trees to be quite nice, but we’re also expecting the people to put a little effort into it and we need people to understand they don’t need to spend a whole bunch of money.” Teams decorated the trees Saturday in anticipation of them being unveiled at the light up cocktail reception Thursday (Nov. 21) at 6 p.m.
Tickets are $30. Family Viewing Days happen Friday to Sunday (Nov. 22-24) when visitors to vote for their favourite trees. “On the 25th (Monday) we count all the tickets and then we announce the winner on the 26th (Tuesday),” Lane said. The winning tree’s team receives two tickets to the Festival of Trees Gala at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre Nov. 29 where they’re presented with the People’s Choice Award. Over the weekend the festival is hosting Island Savings Family Days Crafts and Festivities 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. with Christmas entertainment, decoration making, treats and entertainment from the VIU Jazz Band and a dancing Christmas tree. Families can also have their photos snapped with Santa. Visitors can also enter raffles for a chance to win their favourite tree. Trees are delivered to the winners at the end of the festival. “On the 30th I get to come in and open all the boxes, call the winners and literally deliver all the trees into the community,” Lane said. “That’s my favourite duty.” New to the festival this year is the Festival of Trees Late Night Viewing event Nov. 27, 5-8 p.m., when everyone will have the only opportunity during the festival to see the

trees lit up at night. The festival wraps up with the Festival of Trees Gala, a black tie formal affair, organized by the VIU culinary arts and hospitality management students working with conference centre staff, featuring a gourmet dinner, live and silent auctions and music to kick off the Christmas season. Admission is $195 per ticket. Seating is limited to 400 and tickets are still available. The Festival is also looking for additional prize donations for the gala’s silent auction. More than 4,000 people visited the 2012 festival display during the event which raised $115,000 to help VIU students and improve learning facilities.

Trio of blazes keep Nanaimo firefighters busy during the weekend By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
Firefighters battled three house fires sparked by smouldering ashes over the weekend. Four people are temporarily displaced from a house at 5589 Clipper Dr. after fireplace ashes in a garbage bag caught the front deck of the house on fire. Fire crews were called out at about 5:30 p.m. for that blaze. “It spread up the vinyl sid-
ing, through the soffits and up into the attic space,” said Capt. Ennis Mond, Nanaimo Fire Rescue fire prevention officer. Hydro to the home had to be disconnected when the flames damaged electricity supply lines to the house. The woman who owns the home and three renters were given temporary lodging by the city. The homeowner is insured and no one was injured.
On Saturday, shortly after 9 p.m., a similar fire broke out, igniting the back deck and wall of a home at 574 Bradley St. “That was careless-smoking related,” said Rick Kwasnecha, fire prevention officer. Flames extended up the exterior wall and got into the attic space above the home’s kitchen, forcing firefighters to pull down the ceiling of the kitchen to get at hot spots in the attic.
No one was injured and the homeowner was insured. Two tenants living in the upstairs of the house, who were not insured, were given temporary lodging through the city’s emergency assistance program. Wood stove ashes were also the ignition source for a minor fire that damaged the siding of a house at 3766 Apsley St. shortly before 11 a.m. Saturday. Kwasnecha said the fire
started in the exterior of the carport after wood stove ashes were placed in a bucket outside. Kwasnecha and Mond said all three fires were preventable. “So the safety message in this is make sure you extinguish your cigarette butts and put your wood stove ashes in a proper, non-combustible container until you make sure they’re out,” Mond said. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

u From /1 According to Kim Smythe, CEO of the chamber of commerce, since HarbourLynx shuttered in 2006, there’s been a lingering hope among businesses for a revived footferry service because of obvious economic benefits. A stable two-catamaran service can encourage day trips and attract new business. Island Ferries is also promising 105 jobs, including 85 in Nanaimo. Half of the employees in the Harbour City are expected to be paid $50,000 to $100,000 annually. Smythe said the chamber has “a great deal of confidence” in the venture because of its business plan and the experience. The executive team includes Lingwood, former B.C. Ferries

Christmas toy drive kicks off By Karl yu The News BulleTiN
The Great Nanaimo Toy Drive volunteers are once again doing their part to ensure that needy children have gifts under the tree for Christmas. The campaign sees the collection of new toys and games distributed to families in need. Approximately 1,480 children received gifts last year, said toy drive president and treasurer Sheila Bonwick. Toys for children up to 16 years of age are accepted, but toys for older children are especially appreciated as they are sometimes short in supply. “Each year we have some shoppers that go out and buy extra toys for teenagers because that age group doesn’t get given to quite as much as the younger ones,” Bonwick said. A number of organizations throughout Nanaimo are aiding the cause and amongst those are Edgewood Addiction Treatment, which is holding a toy drive Nov. 30, and the Nanaimo Clippers
junior hockey club, which will be holding its annual teddy bear toss at a game on Dec. 7. The Great Nanaimo Toy Drive started in 1983 when a local mother, Dorothy Gaspardone, saw that were needy children in her neighbourhood. “With the help of the corrections institute at the time, they helped to repair toys – used toys, almost new toys – and that’s how it started and so it has been going for 31 years,” Bonwick said. Toys can be dropped off, unwrapped, at Woodgrove, North Nanaimo and Country Club shopping centres, all Coastal Community Credit Unions, Save-On-Foods, Budget Storage locations and city fire halls, the Port Theatre and the Nanaimo Museum until Dec. 16. Cash donations can also be made. Families in need can register – they must present children’s identification – until Dec. 11 at numerous areas, which are listed at the toy drive website. Toy distribution takes place Dec. 18-19 at the Harewood school gym on Fifth Street.
Canadian and international students at Vancouver Island University teamed to make a computerized map of the world. Students from the university’s geography department and English as a second language students worked together on the collaborative mapping project and made presentations on campus last week as part of the university’s International Education Week events. “It’s both a technical project – it requires the students to place elements on a map using GIS (geographic information systems) to create the show – and it’s also a presentation project, so it gives everyone, the international students and the geography students, a chance to present
in front of a very large group of people,” said Pamela Shaw, a geography professor at the university. Shaw said the project started with students doing research on a variety of topics, such as where international students come from, travelled to, their favourite foods, why they chose to attend Vancouver Island University, as well as fables and legends from their home countries – all information that comprised “data layers” for the map, she said. “We defined the layers we wanted to have in the map. The students had to conduct the research, collect the information, put the information in a tabular format, which was then converted into the geo co-ordinates to place it on the map,” Shaw said, adding that the students also wrote the script for the presentation and put the show together. Sabine Koster, an international student from Germany, researched the layer pertaining to places students have
travelled and said the project was very educational as working with Canadian students enabled her to get a better command of the English language. “For me because I’m an [English as a second language] student it was very helpful to get out a little bit of the accent because we have all the international people, so we are all talking just to international [people] and now we can talk to Canadians,” Koster said. “We have the Canadian conversations, so we can learn to understand the Canadians because they are talking very fast,” she said, adding it also afforded her an opportunity to make Canadian friends. Shaw wants the project to continue. “We’re hoping this is the start of a much bigger project, so this is the first collection of layers and then we’ll keep working on this for years in an ongoing collaboration between geography and international education,” she said. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Tree farm links Nanaimo to logging past

voluNtEErS rEStorE former arboretum used to test exotic species for commercial timber. BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THe NewS BuLLeTIN
A team of volunteers has spent nearly a decade revitalizing a littleknown link to Nanaimo’s logging past. The H.R. MacMillan Grant Ainscough Arboretum, 12 kilometres south of Nanaimo, is nearly restored to its for-
mer glory thanks to the work of volunteers and former employees of MacMillan Bloedel. New interpretive signs are propped up near trees, the grounds are cleared of weeds and deep ruts have been repaired.
It’s now a far cry from the “awful” state of the neglect the grounds were in eight years ago when the Regional District of Nanaimo first purchased the property for a potential transfer station and park, say those involved in its restoration. At one time, the arboretum sported more exotic tree species than any other experimental farm in British Columbia and†

gratifying to see something ... the founder of Macmillan Bloedel started over 56 years ago is still here for the public to enjoy.” The experimental tree farm was the brainchild of lumber magnate H.R. MacMillan, whose mill operation was once considered the cornerstone of Nanaimo employment. More than 150 exotic species were tested at the site, which is now maintained and monitored by the district and volunteers as an unofficial park. Tom Osborne, general manager of recreation and parks, said the area is still not very well known but is a neat and unique feature in the Harbour City that’s working its way back to its original glory. Volunteers have almost finished adding interpretive signs and hope to soon add picnic tables. “It is a really neat link to the forestry background of Nanaimo,” Osborne said. “There are some really [interesting] looking trees and some really ugly ones [but] they are still there and some you can see are doing fairly well.” news@nanaimobulletin.com

attracted university tour groups from across the province, who wanted to study the behaviour and growth of the trees. It was a “beautiful” and wellutilized site geared at testing exotic species for commercial timber production and educating the public, said Don Pigott, who worked at the arboretum and Tree Improvement Centre for 13 years. But the 2.6-hectare site began to fall into a state of decline with little or no maintenance after 1999 because of changed ownership and shrinking budgets, reports the regional district. The arboretum had wind damage, weeds and garbage; trees had been cut down and ruts carved into the property from allterrain vehicles. A team of volunteers – most of whom were former MacMillan Bloedel employees – offered to help the district restore the site as a historical, educational and recreational park. “It was just in an awful state ... there was a lot of work to do in the start,” said Pigott, who originally helped propose the revitalization effort.

Teen faces months-long wait for painful foot care
I
AutiSm diAGNoSiS makes simple procedure turn into need for surgery. By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN
A Nanaimo mother is desperate to find medical help for her autistic son after being told the only specialist willing to operate can’t see him for almost a year. Sixteen-year-old Gabriel Stuart needs surgery to address a painful toe condition, but the only specialist willing to do the work is in Victoria and isn’t available for another eight to 10 months. The wait is too long for a vulnerable and disabled child in ‘obvious pain’, said his mother, Alexandria Stuart, who is concerned about infection and diminished quality of life. But the family seems to have little recourse. According to Stuart, the medical receptionist handling Gabriel’s case called central Vancouver Island podiatrists and orthopedic, plastic and general surgeons, but none wanted to take on the procedure because “either they don’t do toes or because he was a pediatric case.” As members of the private sector, surgeons seem to be able to pick and choose procedures, she said, adding there seems to be no organization that can advocate for her son’s surgery to be expedited. Island Health says physicians are independent business people and their offices – not the health authority – decide when patients are booked for surgery. And the College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C reports it doesn’t have the jurisdiction to regulate the

Alexandria Stuart says it’s unacceptable that no specialist in the mid-island region is willing or able to do surgery on her son, Gabriel, who has autism.
systems in which surgeons work. “The fact that there is no specialist in the mid-Island willing or able to deal with this seems completely unacceptable to me,” she said. “If this was you or me with an ingrown toenail and we had the mental capac-
ity not to pick our toes and to wait and deal with it for eight or 10 months, it would be a different thing. This is a vulnerable child.” Gabriel was diagnosed 18 months ago with proud flesh, a condition where skin grows over the toe nails. His doc-
tor did not appear concerned at first because the issue is common, said Stuart, who was given care instructions. But the condition started to worsen. Gabriel wouldn’t allow his parents to push the skin back on his nails and would compulsively pick at his toes. Instead of the nail growing out to heal, it started to burrow into his toes, causing inflammation, bleeding and soreness. He is minimally verbal, but is usually happy and enjoys walks and playing outdoors, Stuart said. He now limps and cries about his ‘poor toes’ and asking to see “Dr. Hospital.” She said he needs to have the excess skin cut away from his toenails – a procedure that’s normally done under local anesthesia in a podiatrist’s office. But because he had autism the procedure has to happen under general anesthetic in a hospital operating room. The teen wouldn’t otherwise tolerate sitting still. “He is looking to us for confirmation it will end at some point, [that] there will be a hospital trip so his sore toes will be fixed and he’s been asking for that for months now,” Stuart said. “As a parent, to have a child in pain and be unable to help ... is, I think, the single most devastating feeling.” The family is now contemplating a trip to the B.C. Children’s Hospital emergency room – a move that the teen’s caregivers have indicated might be his next best option. There are no guarantees he will get treatment. “I know what their emergency room is for and that to me seems like an abuse of the resource,” Stuart said. “But if its my last resort and it’s the only way I can get my child out of pain, I will do it.” news@nanaimobulletin.com
Renovations planned for cafe after winning national co-operative contest By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
CoCo Cafe staff and volunteers have bought a lot more elbow room and space for catering services with cash won in a national contest. The Cedar Opportunities Co-operative came into a $25,000 windfall Oct. 28 when it won the Co-operators National Co-op Challenge, which awards annual prizes across Canada to support the success of winning co-ops and encourage their growth. Winners are chosen through
a month-long social media contest. CoCo Cafe, located in Cedar, was founded in 2010 to provide employment for people with developmental challenges and has become a popular destination for residents in the Cedar/Yellow Point region south of Nanaimo. That popularity means it gets pretty crowded in the cafe, so staff have been eyeing up some adjoining retail space to move some of the cafe’s kitchen and catering preparation equipment into. “We’re using the money to

walk-in fridge and freezer built for more space. It’s just opening up the area that we have, so we’re not touching shoulders all the time, which can be a little bit hard on people who have space issues and things like that.” The added room will mean more kitchen space for the staff to move around in and customers will benefit too, since freezers currently taking up space in the dining room will be moved next door as well, clearing the way for more seating. The room will also provide
additional office and storage space. CoCo Cafe currently has a staff of more than 20 people, 12 of whom have developmental challenges. Patricia Johnston, a CoCo board founding member, said by expanding the catering section, the co-operative hopes to provide an additional 40 hours of employment per week.

EDITORIAL
Don’t ignore latest disaster Typhoon Haiyan swept through the Philippines last weekend, flattening towns and a city in its wake, leaving desperate refugees seeking shelter, medical aid, food and water. Canadians of Filipino descent and Canadians in general have responded with an outpouring of cash and supplies. The federal government has promised to match donations given to registered charities, and has mobilized disaster response teams to assess conditions on the ground in the Philippines. Images emerging from cities like Tacloban, a once thriving economic hub, shows a wasteland of rubble and splintered wood, reminiscent of the aftermath of the Japanese tsunami of March 2011, the Haiti earthquake of January 2010, and the Indian Ocean tsunami of December 2004. Each of these disasters has been met with the outpouring of aid and good intentions, but getting help to refugees in a timely manner and without wholesale looting and graft remains a challenge. Even now with the international community hopefully better versed at delivering aid to large-scale disaster areas, reports coming out of the Philippines suggests relief efforts are being paralyzed due to shattered transportation links and little available fuel. Relief organizations are in a tough position, both on the ground and in terms of avoiding donor fatigue. The magnitude of devastation in the Philippines is immense, but as Canada and Nanaimo enter the Christmas season, many worthwhile charities are seeking your dollars. With the disaster in the Philippines, local families are being asked once again to find a few more dollars to what is undoubtedly a worthwhile humanitarian cause. Pressures to donate are real and can stretch the budget of any family, especially around December. But in times of crisis, be it here or half a world away, it pays to be compassionate and giving.

city to follow through on its cultural plan by investing in a piece of Nanaimo’s cultural heritage. And it should invest, because until now it appears that the municipality has dropped the ball on maintaining the centennial fountain. It hasn’t reached this state of disrepair because of age alone. As a cultural resource, the city should have done more to ensure it remained structurally sound. If the city had invested in annual upkeep, like fixing failed pumps or protecting electrical work, it wouldn’t have reached a state of being such a maintenance headache, city staff members considered removing it entirely. At the very least, if the municipality recognized the fountain was starting to fail because of poor past upkeep or age, it should have planned to set money aside to do future upgrades. There was reportedly $15,000 slated for fountain work, which was used to do the study and design work for rehabilitation. Early estimates to rehabilitate the fountain is pegged at $250,000. Moving forward, let’s not only rally donations to save a local landmark, but see the city carry out some of the goals of its budding cultural plan by funding a good portion of the project. It’s important that city officials show they’re prepared to act on their cultural strategy – and for residents to ensure that they do. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Municipality must say no to arts scene’s ‘beggars’ Re: Study charts arts economic impact, Nov. 12. Many of us are thinking it. Someone has to say it. What is it that a few in the arts community have on bureaucrats and council? This month the city unveiled a seven-year cultural plan. The report calls on taxpayers to fund a public art reserve and hire a manager to look after all this new tax handout. Among dozens of other recommendations it also calls on increasing per capita cultural operating grant funding to arts groups and insists on a 10 per cent increase to events and festivals grant funding each and every year. I want free city money too. And now. Cut my taxes! The city needs to start saying no to the blackmail. Dishing out money this way will not feed our hungry, house our homeless or put a little extra cash in my pocket to buy a new pair of socks. It is merely funding
Culture dollars aren’t flowing To the Editor,
Re: Study charts arts economic impact, Nov. 12. It is good news to hear the Nanaimo cultural scene is generating $150 million annually. (I’d love to see the breakdown.) I am certain many of us in the arts community would love to get on the list of those about to receive grants.
To make culture accessible to the population you might try lowering the ticket prices with your grants. I stand in awe reading of the cultural prosperity. It must be for the contractors who refurbish buildings and not for the artists who would perform within.

City’s arts plan costs too much To the Editor,
Re: Study charts arts economic impact, Nov. 12. The taxpayerfunded reports into arts and culture in the city are out. And gee, golly, wizikers they say taxpayers must shell out even more money which we do not have. No surprise. When the Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation announced its study in July it threw out trumped-up figures citing the report was necessary, alleging the arts here employ more people than transportation and
manufacturing and wrongfully stating artists make more money than the blue collar workers; both totally erroneous statements according to 2011 Statistics Canada figures. Now, four months later, its $19,000 contracted-out piece says the arts produce a $154 million impact on the area but face challenges because of reduced funding and resources. And our municipality’s big cultural plan suggests a new city commission be set up to roll out arts and culture projects annually with our bucks and that there be new tax incen-
tives for cultural businesses downtown. Hasn’t Nanaimo Centre Stage taught us not to sink public dollars into endless black holes just because some feel it’s a good use of your and my hardearned bucks? Instead of our socalled economic savior, the NEDC, handing out money for studies, the corporation should be using our dough to bring bona-fide employers to the area with guaranteed jobs. It should not be spoon-feeding us a lot of stakeholder propaganda.

Late library books not a problem
I
viu librariaNS earn award for efforts to improve library services for students.
By Shari BiShop BoweS
A move to make the library user experience at Vancouver Island University more friendly and less punitive has been hailed a success a year after library fines were eliminated. A team of staff and faculty at VIU began working in spring 2012 on an initiative to eliminate most late fines and extend more generous borrowing and renewal limits for books, journals, articles, CDs and videos. The move to implement the new policy and forgive all outstanding fines was quietly launched at the start of the fall term in
September 2012. “Our role is to facilitate access to all library materials and ensure that everyone gets a crack at what they need to the greatest extent possible,” said Jean Blackburn, collections and user experience coordinator at the VIU library. Blackburn and Dan Sifton, coordinator of technical services and library automation, collected an award in May 2013 that recognized efforts at VIU to improve library services. The Academic Librarians in Public Service Award for Outstanding Service recognized the “innovative thinking” behind the library
staff’s initiative to remove fines and implement more generous borrowing policies. “It was surprising to me how unusual it was to make this kind of change,” said Blackburn, noting that fining for overdue materials, and the punitive language that library users face when exceeding lending limits, have been part of library culture for a long time. “We did not want users to have a bad feeling about the library, and avoid coming in because they thought somebody would get on their case about late fines,” Blackburn said. “One of the first changes we made was to stop using language like ‘failed’ and ‘delinquent’.” VIU students, staff and community users

still receive notification if materials become overdue, with bills sent out for replacement cost of long overdue items after multiple friendly reminders. Fines are still levied on overdue items from inter-library loans, and on reserved course materials that are critical for timely student access. After regularly loaned items are overdue more than 25 days, students’ access to their library accounts, including online access, is blocked. “As long as they bring the item back, the bill goes away,” Blackburn said. While questions from staff at other libraries have centered on how to get materials back without fining, that has not been the issue at VIU.

Investment Management Corporation’s next portion of the Fairwinds development could include $2.3 billion worth of housing and commercial space in the Schooner Cove and Lakes District projects, spread out in a number of phases eventually totalling 2,500 housing units. Three related bylaws passed first and second reading Nov. 12 and will be sent on to the next meeting of the RDN board Nov. 26. The bylaws deal with the site-specific zoning and water and sewer standards which would allow the development. The zoning bylaws include many land uses like different types and densities of housing, parks and trails, shops and services, a mixed-use village and marina at the exisiting Schooner Cove Marina and a network of public waterfront boardwalks and paths.

Communication key to coping with dementia Dementia often brings about changes in behaviour and communication, which can dramatically affect family caregivers. That’s why the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. is running its free Family Caregiver Series in Nanaimo next month. The half-day workshop on Dec. 7,

The Abreast of Life dragon boat team paddles for more than the cause – it’s personal. Each team member has survived breast cancer and has pledged to fight the disease through fundraising and awareness. As a result of the team’s July golf tournament at Arrowsmith Golf Course, they donated $4,500 to the Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation to help purchase a new breast MRI attachment for Nanaimo Regional General Hospital’s medical imaging department.

HELP FILL A DREAM FOR ISLAND KIDS THIS SEASON
Businessman lauded for contributions
I
CHUCk CLARA, one of Variety’s donors, recognized at event.
For the past six years Nanaimo businessman Chuck Clara has rallied his clients and colleagues to help families with children who have special needs. The owner of Snap-OnTools has been instrumental to the fundraising success of Variety – the Children’s Charity, which thanked its many supporters with an event at Vancouver Island University Thursday. “It’s thanks to local champions like Chuck Clara that Variety is able to support families across B.C.,” said Bernice Scholten, Variety’s executive director. “We’re thrilled to be coming to Nanaimo to say thank you to everyone who has shown
their hearts to children who have special needs.” Clara tuned into a Nanaimo radio station six years ago and heard the stories of how Variety helps families in his community. Inspired by the call to action during Variety’s first Nanaimo Radiothon, he encouraged his business connections to donate to the cause. Later, when attending a presentation at Nanaimo Hospital, Clara ran into a client and his daughter. It was after discovering that the family was at the hospital for treatment that he realized the full impact of Variety’s support. Variety has long benefitted from the generosity of the people of Nanaimo who donate their “time, talent and treasure” to the organization’s fundraisers which also include the B.C. Bowls For Kids campaign, Kids
Coin Drive, and the annual Show of Hearts Telethon. Since 2008, Variety has provided 102 grants to 73 families in Nanaimo totalling more than $78,000. The grants gave life-saving, life-changing and life-enriching support to children who have special needs. Examples include an insulin pump for a little girl with diabetes, medicine for a little boy with asthma and accommodations that allowed parents to be with their child in hospital with a severe brain injury due to encephalitis. Variety has also given funding to local organizations such as the Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation and the Nanaimo Child Development Centre.

Unlikely duo Good music links BettySoo and Doug Cox from one side of continent to the other
B
ettySoo and Doug Cox might seem an unlikely pair. One hails from the cadre of songwriters living in Austin, Texas, the other from Vancouver Island. In just two years’ time, the duo performed in nine countries in every kind of venue – from festival main-stages to Tuscan open air cafés, and in every place, they’ve met with enthusiastic reviews from the most discriminating and respected ears in folk and roots music today. Living 2,500 miles apart (a couple flights plus a long ferry ride) and working in different
Quickfacts
musical worlds aren’t circumstances that make for convenient collaboration. But their friendship and musical respect were immediate, as they found countless familiar threads in the people and music they admired. Some songs they shared were penned by writers celebrated around the world, while others were lesser-known or written by dear friends. BettySoo and Doug decided to create a show built around the stories and work of their mostly unsung heroes. Raised in Texas, BettySoo grew up hearing the names and

“The touring and recording BettySoo and I do is based on the stories and songs we have each collected over years of being surrounded by great characters,” says Cox. “Lots of these songs are in danger of disappearing if they don’t keep being sung. Keeping these songs alive is what we aim to do with Across the Borderline.” Just months after their debut Lie To Me, they were invited to record a follow-up album by Continental Records called More Lies.

Festival of Trees
Western Edge cancels season Western Edge Theatre decided to cancel its 2013-14 season due to lack of provincial gaming grants. In a statement released by artistic director Eliza Gardiner, the theatre said it was unsuccessful in a grant application and without that money, the preproduction costs for the upcoming shows are not secure. The theatre is cancelling two plays, its New Waves original play festival and a co-production of Same Time Next Year. “Provincial grants, together with municipal funding, fundraising, donations, and box office revenue, have made it feasible for this professional company to serve Nanaimo with edgy, Canadian theatre. Without them, the society cannot operate under its current structure,” the statement said. All subscriptions will be refunded.

As the wealth divide and environmental crises grip public awareness, the world is catching up to the vision and ideas of two artist/activists who make work for social change. Inspired by their wit and visual innovations, the film Portrait of Resistance captures Carole Condé and Karl Beveridge as they create provocative staged photographs about the environ-
ment, the rights of workers and the current global financial crisis. The film screens as part of Cinema Politica Nanaimo’s ArtDox series at Vancouver Island University on Wednesday (Nov. 20) in building 356, room 109.

Mount Washington Alpine Resort will host the critically acclaimed Into the Mind over the next two weeks across Vancouver Island. Into the Mind is a new film by Sherpas Cinema, creators of the award-winning film All.I.Can. With stunning cinematography and ground-breaking storytelling techniques, the Sherpas blur the lines between dream state and reality, and immerse the viewer into the mind of a common skier as he attempts to climb and ski the ultimate mountain. Innovative athlete segments are actually a glimpse into his dreamscape, each one harbouring messages that help inform our hero’s current, real-life choices. As the audience experiences the majesty of Alaska, Bolivia, the Himalayas and beyond, Into the Mind paints a philosophical

You can catch Into the Mind Thursday (Nov. 21) at Malaspina Theatre at Vancouver Island University. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets $10 and can be purchased at Alternative Groove or online.

Leo
Virgo
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you have a lot on your mind, but only one concern demands your undivided attention. Find a quiet space to think things through and trust your gut feelings. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, friendships may weaken if you don’t keep up your end of the relationship. Make an effort to get together with your friends and take the initiative with planning. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, your approach to a problem is not working. It could be time to take an entirely new approach and see if this produces results. Be patient with this new approach. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Don’t be surprised if a busy week finds you dog tired come the weekend, Cancer. Use the time off to recharge your batteries on this well-deserved break. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Few things can hold your interest this week, Leo. Although friends try, they can’t seem to keep you focused on any one thing. Expect to jump from task to task this week.
Libra
Scorpio
Sagittarius
Capricorn
Aquarius
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, an unexpected consequence appears this week and you are caught completely off guard. Don’t let others see your surprise. You must simply roll with the punches.
Pisces
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, a spark of ingenuity hits you out of the blue and you know just how to put that inspiration to good use. Set your plan in motion as soon as you are able. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, after a few hectic weeks at home and at the office, now is the ideal time for a vacation. Cast all responsibilities aside and enjoy some rest and relaxation. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may prefer to keep certain things to yourself no matter how strongly others insist you share. Don’t succumb to pressure to share those things you prefer remain private. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Several new opportunities are coming your way, Capricorn. You just need to sort through all of them and figure out just what you want to do in the next few weeks. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 The new season has you feeling refreshed and ready for new beginnings, Aquarius. Make the most of this new lease on life and encourage others to join you. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, maintain your focus around the office, as you will have to juggle multiple tasks in the week ahead.

Sarah BERTHA Olson
â•
(Picketts)
COURT, Kathleen Jean On August 8, 1930 Jean was born into a Scottish family in Winnipeg. At a very early age she showed a marked aptitude for the violin. Under expert tutoring, she soon developed to the concert level, giving her first concert at the tender age of seven. She soon became the darling of Winnipeg. She specialized in Scottish classical as well as fiddle music. In addition, she had by her early teens, an astounding repertoire of not only Scottish music but also recognized classical standards of Mozart, Mendelssohn, Bach and Vivaldi. She married a Scot, Edward Johnston, and came west to Vancouver, where she became concert mistress to many Lower Mainland orchestras. Later, the Johnstons moved to Nanaimo and Jean became prominent in several orchestras. Many of these groups eventually merged to form the Nanaimo Symphony. Unfortunately, she lost Eddie to cancer. It was at this point in the Symphony, she met violinist James Court. They became “stand partners� sharing a music stand in the first violin section. They later married, in 1994, in Hawaii. After retiring from the NSO, Jean formed her own Scottish Orchestra, the Scottish Strings, a group of some 8 Scottish fiddlers she trained to concert standard. The Scottish Strings performed in malls, theatres, and Retirement Homes, including Lakeside Gardens, where she and Jim finally moved to until her illness in August of 2013. She is survived by her husband, Jim; two children, Denise (John) Heenan in France, and Roger Johnston, in Port Coquitlam; grandchildren: Morgan (Samantha), Clare, Dane, and John. A Funeral Service will be held on Wednesday, November 27, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. at First Memorial Funeral Services, 1720 Bowen Road, Nanaimo. Interment at Nanaimo Townsite Cemetery, Reception following. Donations to the Alzheimer's Society or the BC Cancer Foundation would be appreciated. First Memorial Funeral Services 250-754-8333
Robert Arnold LOWE
October 17, 1925 ~ November 12, 2013 Bertha was born in Rimbey, Alberta and passed away suddenly, at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital, surrounded by family. Bertha is survived by her children: Marilyn (Evan) Camp, Sonny (Vivian) Olson, David (Lorraine) Olson, Kevin (Anita) Olson, and Melody (Stuart) Allen; her son-inlaw, Raymond Folster; 20 grandchildren, 29 great grandchildren; 2 brothers, Russ (Alice) Picketts and Les (Vi) Picketts, both of Alberta; and numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband, Ralph Olson; her eldest daughter, Dianne Folster; and her baby son, Rodney Olson; 4 brothers: Lawrence, Frederick, Bill and Bob Picketts; her sister, Jessie Wilson; and her father and mother, William and Sarah Picketts. Bertha was raised in Rimbey, Alberta where she met her loving husband, Ralph Olson. They were married on November 15, 1950 in Rimbey. They lived in Alberta where they started their family and had their ďŹ rst 6 children. They moved to Ladysmith in September of 1965 and 2 years later had their youngest child. Bertha was a housewife and mother most of her life and enjoyed every aspect of being a wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She enjoyed playing cards, going to Bingo, watching her soap operas, baking, road trips and loved this Island, but most of all she loved her family. Family was everything to her! A Celebration of her life will be held at 1p.m. November 18, 2013 at the Eagles Hall in Ladysmith, B.C. followed by a graveside service, then by light refreshments back at the hall. In lieu of owers, donations may be made to The Canadian Diabetes Association. Many thanks to our family, friends and neighbours for their support during this difficult time.

BATES, Russell William November 22, 1932 – October 27, 2013
Russell is predeceased by his wife, Kit. He made his mark on all of our lives and will never be forgotten but remembered with love and respect. Russ had a multitude of nieces and nephews who live from one coast of Canada to the other. Too numerous to name but all are thought of at this time. He is survived by his sister, Shirley Schneider (Werner) of Richmond, BC; sister-in-law, Pat Bates of Port Coquitlam, BC; Catherine Lynn Wollf of Nanaimo; Roy Holder (Barbra) of Port Alberni; step-daughter-in-law, Sharon Holder of Nanaimo; many grandchildren and great grandchildren, again too numerous to mention. Part of his legacy was in helping to raise his great granddaughter; Mya (SheriLynn) Wollf. “Great Popper”, as he was called by Mya, was instrumental in her education and wellbeing. Thank you Russ. We are all your loving combined and extended family. A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, November 24, 2013 from 1-3pm at the Royal Canadian Legion #256, 1630 E. Wellington Road, Nanaimo. In lieu of flowers you may make a donation, in Russell’s memory, to the Cancer Foundation, 2410 Lee Avenue, Victoria, BC V8R 6V5. Condolences may be offered at telfordn@shaw.ca.

Flu Information for 2013-2014 Cases of the flu hit early this year throughout the Lower Mainland and DR. KAREN L. FRASER Island. The predominant flu so far this season has been relatively mild. The symptoms include body ache, chills, fatigue, nausea, stomach pain, and can include vomiting and diarrhea. The symptoms are generally lasting 3-7 days for most people. According to www.publichealth.gc.ca, 65% of the flu cases this season are an “unsubtyped” flu virus that is not present in this year’s flu vaccine. 30% of cases are for a type of influenza A which is accounted for in the vaccine. Try boosting your immune system naturally this fall - ask us how! Naturopathic consults are covered by most extended health care plans.
I am divorced and my husband pays spousal maintenance and child support. Will I have to pay this to the Trustee if I go GARETH SLOCOMBE, CA, CIRP bankrupt? Under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, any amounts you receive for maintenance or support are treated as income during the period of your bankruptcy and until you are discharged. Any amounts paid by your ex-spouse will continue to be received by you directly but they must be reported to the Trustee every month along with any other income from employment etc. However, if your monthly income (including the maintenance and support) exceeds a certain level (known as the Superintendents Standard for Surplus Income), 50% of the excess is required to be paid to the Trustee for your creditors. The standard varies based on the number of persons in the household. For a family of three, the standard for 2013 is set at $3,070 and is net of any income tax paid or statutory deductions.

Travelling south this winter? What’s on your checklist?
If you are planning to be away for awhile DR. PAUL GENEAU this winter, consider whether you should have an eye examination before you go, so that you don’t have any alarming surprises while you are away, and so that you can take a current optical prescription, for eyeglasses or contact lenses, with you. Having your prescriptions, as well as spare glasses and contact lenses, can help ensure that a mishap doesn’t result in unpleasant or disabling vision problems. Also, if there is previously undetected eye disease, you are much better off dealing with it at home. Remember to take sunglasses with you, for comfort and to protect from ultraviolet radiation damage to the eyes. Travel safely, and maximize your enjoyment with healthy eyes and good vision.

First let me say…when your mortgage is up for RENEWAL, you are in a Power Position and you MUST take advantage of it! So; congratulations on planning ahead. KRISTA HENLEY & …sadly, and expensively, most don’t. A recent CAAMP SHARON FAUCHON survey found that only 56% of renewers negotiated, 44% took the mortgage renewal interest rate initially offered by their lender and 5% didn’t know how they renewed! Given the large financial commitment of a mortgage, it’s surprising that 49 per cent of Canadian homeowners either just accept whatever their lender offers at renewal or don’t even remember how they renewed! If you’re not doing even the slightest comparison shopping or negotiating, then you’re missing out on an opportunity to save thousands on your mortgage. When your lender sends you a letter saying it’s time to renew… what that really means is that it’s time to get advice and explore your options. We can offer professional, independent advice. Let us handle it for you, it’s what we are good at! Whether we originally helped you with your mortgage or not, no matter which bank or lender you have your mortgage with WE WILL HELP EVERYONE WITH THEIR RENEWAL FOR FREE! We’ll take a look at what you’re offered by your lender for renewal and compare it to what we can find out there among the 50 or more lenders and banks we have access to. Whether it’s negotiating your rate lower with your current lender or moving your mortgage to a lender or bank with a better rate or product, either way you will come out better off. It’s simple not to make the cardinal sin of mortgages……..when you receive your mortgage renewal documents in the mail CALL US, Nanaimo’s Mortgage Experts, right away!

How do I choose a fabric for my furniture that best suits my ROBERT BICHLBAUER needs? Not only do you need to choose the right product to suit your space but choosing the right cover for it is equally important. You need to decide how the furniture will be used. To keep it children and pet friendly, leather is excellent. If you want a fabric, microfiber is a great choice. Should you not find a microfiber that appeals to you, choosing fabric with high polyester, nylon or acrylic content is an excellent choice. These threads are strong and durable. Any professional sales associate will be able to explain the difference to you.

real estate 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 TIM WAIT frame and are normally placed on wood 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, know by many as Mr. Deerwood to view his many listings in this friendly village that offers a relaxed lifestyle.

autobody ‘Green Tips’ for your Vehicle
6421 APPLECROSS RD., NANAIMO
Alternate-fueled and hybrid vehicles are gaining market share but still account for a small percentage of vehicles on the road. So what’s an environmentally conscience consumer to do in GARRY ROGUSKI the meantime? Here are some tips to put you on the road to ‘green’: •Keep the engine running at peak performance-a misfiring spark plug can reduce fuel efficiency up to 30 percent. Replace filters and fluids as per your manual. •Today’s vehicles have much better tail pipe emissions. But a poorly running engine or faulty exhaust system will cause your vehicle to pollute more than it should. Don’t ignore that ‘Service Engine’ light. •Keep tires properly inflated and aligned to reduce the engine’s effort and, thus, gasoline consumption. What’s more, your tires will last longer too, saving you money and easing the burden at recycling centers. •Avoid speeding and sudden accelerations; both habits guzzle gas. When waiting for friends or family, shut off the engine. •Remove excess items from the vehicle including that roof-top luggage rack, since less weight means better mileage and less air drag.

salon & school How do I pick “The Right “ Salon and Aesthetician?
• Ask your friends and family they will know • Consider if a salon has been in business for a while being established is knowledge • The Stylists and Aesthetician what kind of training or RICHARD TCHAMOURIAN certificates do they have • Is your stylist up to date their knowledge of industry • They will be confident and provide you with a true indication as to what they can do • Home base businesses are great but there’s something to be said about having other stylists and services to inspire upon. When your looking for an Aesthetician the same suggestions apply. We have people all the time saying that a “friend” or someone that just started hair, has coloured or cut their hair. Anyone can cut hair, but not everyone is able to shape the hair. A good stylist will tell you that going to school for hair is wonderful but where you really learn is in the salon. We keep our stylists here at a “junior” status until we feel that they are ready to no longer be supervised (usually 2 years). I can’t imagine letting someone cut or colour your hair if they’ve not even gone to school. We here love correcting other peoples work, but let’s be honest; going from black to blonde will not be within our capabilities in one step. There are many Aestheticians and stylists that are coming out of school. We have people coming in bruised from waxing or hurt from manicures. Understanding the skin and reactions to it takes many years to master. Cuticles are on our fingers for a reason, cutting them does not serve the better good. Same goes with callus’, we need them as a buffer, shaving or filing them off completely again is not in our better interest. Come see us we have been voted as Nanaimo’s #1 Aesthetics Beauty Salon and School.

I want to install a hot tub. What should I do? Before installing a major appliance like a hot tub you BEN MAZZEI need to determine if your electric service will handle the extra load. Hot tubs can draw anywhere from 20 to 60 amps, a qualified electrician can calculate the required wire and service size for your installation. You will also need to confirm if your panel has sufficient space. The majority of hot tubs require either two or four spots in your electrical panel. They also require GFCI protection and a disconnect at least five feet away and within line of site for safety.

Nanaimo finalist seeks online votes in renovation contest
I
reNO Me with Fortis B.C. uses natural gas appliances.
A Nanaimo woman is one of three British Columbia residents getting the chance to win $10,000 toward a room makeover with natural gas after being chosen as a finalist in the RenoMe! with Fortis B.C. contest. More than 150 entries were received from all over the province, but the final three were narrowed down to Melissa Tolsma of Nanaimo for her outdoor space, Gayle Curtis of Maple Ridge for her kitchen, and Wendy Frose of Chilliwack for her great room. The final decision is based on online voting until Nov. 30. The
room with the most votes will win $10,000 toward their renovation, while the second and third-place finalists will receive $2,000 each. Designer Sarah Gallop of Sarah Gallop Design Inc. has taken on the outdoor space project, while SGDI’s Stephanie Malhas will design the great room, and Susanne Doise of Sensitive Design will handle the kitchen. Tolsma’s outdoor space offers plenty of scope for a makeover. The space is currently only usable in the warmer months, so she’s hoping to be able to use it year-round if she wins the contest. Among the ideas Gallop has for the yard is a hot tub with an arbor above it. “That will give them a little bit of coverage and privacy,” she says, adding that the hot tub will be heated by natural gas.
A natural gas hot tub is a great idea for homeowners, with its consistent, fast heat and automatic safety shut-off controls for added peace of mind. Swimming pools can also be heated by natural gas. Gallop also plans to include an outdoor kitchen with natural gas barbecue and a natural gas firepit. Fortis B.C. notes that a natural gas barbecue can be extremely convenient for homeowners looking for fuel on demand, as you’ll never have to deal with running out of propane or charcoal. It also allows you to cook with different temperatures at the same time and control the heat more easily. It also burns cleaner than other fuel sources, making it good for the environment as well. Firepits are becoming increasingly popular in outdoor spaces,
especially for those who want to use their outdoor space for more than just the summer months. They also make for great entertaining areas that Gallop describes as like camping in your own backyard. Gallop’s design features several levels to define the different spaces in the yard. “The space looked disconnected before,” she says. “This gives (Tolsma) different zones in the yard while still being connected.” Curtis calls her kitchen disgusting, gross and old, and says she’s tired of burning everything she cooks due to a bad stove, so Doise will be incorporating natural gas in the kitchen with a Viking dual-fuel gas range. Malhas is excited about her great room project.
“We’re going to put a natural gas fireplace centred on the wall,” Malhas says, “and get rid of the metal pipe that goes into the ceiling.” A natural gas fireplace is both energy-efficient and convenient. You no longer have to worry about power outages, since the fireplace doesn’t run on electricity, and there is no more waiting for the fireplace to heat up, since natural gas is available at the push of a button. Fortis B.C. is offering a $300 rebate for homeowners who purchase a qualifying EnerChoice fireplace. To vote for your favourite finalist, please visit www. nanaimobulletin.com/contests. Every voter will be entered to win a $500 gift card toward the purchase of a natural gas appliance.

I’m having lots of company this Christmas season and I need something to put JOHN ROGERS on the floor that’s easily folded. Should I be getting memory foam, and how thick should it be? It’s unfortunate that the sleep industry has brainwashed us to believe that memory foam is the answer to everything sleep related, personally I’m not much of a fan. For your application good 4” foam will do a wonderful job. Make sure it’s made in Canada or the US. This is really important, and that it’s never been machine rolled or compressed into a box. Imported foams can contain some pretty unsafe chemicals. We have a huge selection of covered and uncovered products. Check it out in store or at www.johnsbedrooms.com.
How can I prepare for my holiday trip as a hearing impaired traveler?
JON WATERHOUSE, BA
Travelling with hearing loss can be challenging. If you use hearing aids, pack essentials such as extra batteries, tubes, cleaning tools, a waterproof case and drying kit. At airport security, state that you are wearing hearing aids. Hearing aids usually do not trigger metal detectors nor will X-rays affect hearing instruments. Make your hearing loss known to flight attendants, tour guides and fellow travelers so that you don’t miss announcements and other information, especially emergency information Before leaving for a holiday, visit us and ask for advice, for clinic contact information in other parts of Canada or the US and to stock up on necessary supplies.
notary My executor died recently and although my Will allows for one of his firm’s TIAH M. WORKMAN partners to take over, I do not want anyone else in his office to look after my Estate. How can I change my Will to reflect that?

■ Area Manager & RHIP
Experts’ Advice You can update your Will at any time to change the Executor or any other provision of your Will. Sometimes this can be accomplished by preparing something called a “Codicil” which is an addendum to the Will and read together with the original document. Most often though we like to prepare a new Will so that your changes are kept confidential.

I know I should have my denture replaced, but I do not want to go through a long adjustment period again.
The first time is always the hardest. You are a pro now. You have learned the basics about eating, speaking and wearing a denture. There may be some adjustment, but it will probably be shorter and easier than the first time. If you have been wearing the same dental prosthesis for more than 5 years without having it checked, you are running unnecessary risks. Too many people believe that dentures are good for 20 years. Nothing could be further from the truth. Prolonged use of ill-fitting dentures can irritate the gums, tongue and cheek, and even cause the ridges of your mouth to shrink or develop loose pliable tissue to the point where it will be almost impossible to fit you with normal dentures. Your ability to chew may decrease and your face may acquire deep aging lines and wrinkles. When you look at the big picture, the temporary adjustment period is not so bad. For any questions regarding your denture needs, contact Carson Denture Clinic to book a free consultation with no obligation.

“Sciatica” is the term for an irritation of the sciatic nerve which runs from DR. KAREN MATTERN the buttocks down the back of the thigh to the knee, and sometimes down the calf to the heel. It’s commonly assumed that sciatica is caused by a disc herniation in the low back, but in the majority of cases this is not the cause. Disc herniations are not as common a source of back pain as was once thought. Irritation of the sciatic nerve is usually due to abnormal movement of spinal joints in the spine or tight muscles in the buttocks which lie across the nerve, most often due to pelvic misalignment or abnormal movement in the sacroiliac joints. Your chiropractor can determine the most likely cause of any leg pain. Most cases of sciatica respond well to chiropractic treatment. If you have sciatic pain, low back pain or leg pain, contact our office for an appointment.

Bulldogs show bite, reach semifinals I AA VARSITY team blows out Holy Cross. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
The Barsby Bulldogs had a handle on the football and it helped them to another big win. John Barsby Secondary School’s AA varsity football team defeated the Holy Cross Crusaders 48-6 on Saturday at Merle Logan Field to advance to the provincial semifinals. The Bulldogs’ offensive and defensive lines played well and the offence did a good job with its groundand-pound attack, said coach Rob Stevenson, but it was big plays on defence that really made the difference. “Our defence took over the game again. It’s just really, really tough for opponents to establish anything when they’re turning over the ball so frequently,” the coach said. “And it makes it a lot easier on your offence when you get that many opportunities to score.” Shawn Arabsky had a fumble recovery and returned an interception for a touchdown, Kyle Vollet also had a fumble recovery and an INT and Sheldon Robertson made a pick, too. Stevenson said his defensive players try for those turnovers. “We practise forcing them and creating them and I think that shows on game day because we’re pretty opportunistic and we seem to

be getting an inordinate amount of them,” he said. When the Bulldogs got the ball, the offence had its best success handing off to running back Brandon Parker, who had 33 carries for 230 yards and two touchdowns. Tyler Harvey, Kalven Kellock, Brody Taylor and Kyle Vollet also scored rushing majors for the ’Dawgs. B a r s b y ’s v i c t o r y

sets up a semifinal matchup this Saturday (Nov. 23) in Vancouver against the Mission Roadrunners. The pro-
grams are familiar with one another, as some of the Grade 12 Bulldogs beat the Roadrunners in the junior varsity Subway Bowl two years ago and some of the Grade 11 ’Dawgs lost to the ’Runners in the semifinals last season. So Barsby is looking forward to playing an old nemesis, said Stevenson, but the team would be pumped up for this stage of football season, regardless.
“The semifinal game is typically the hardest game to win in the playoffs…” said the coach. “The semis is another red-hot team and you can’t overlook it and you can get caught peeking.” GAME ON … Barsby (8-0) and Mission (8-0) kick off Saturday at 2:30 p.m. at Thunderbird Stadium at the University of British Columbia.

Clippers face Kings at Frank The Nanaimo Clippers are back at it, after barely getting a chance to catch their breath after a long road trip. The Clips play the Powell River Kings on Wednesday (Nov. 20) in a rare midweek game at Frank Crane Arena. The Shipmen won one of three games this past weekend against Interior Division opponents, losing 3-2 to the Trail Smoke Eaters on Friday, defeating the Penticton Vees 5-3 on Saturday and then falling 3-1 to the Merritt Centennials on Sunday afternoon. Bo Brauer and Austin Dick scored goals on the first night of the road trip. Dick’s power-play marker, halfway through the third period, gave his team a chance to try for the tying goal but the Smokies didn’t allow the Clips to generate much and held on. Jayson Argue made 27 saves for Nanaimo. At Penticton, the Clips knocked off one of the league’s best teams for the second time in eight days. Scott Prier had a goal and two assists to lead his team and Brendan Taylor, Anthony Sabitsky, Korey Morgan and Spencer Hewson also scored. Argue made 42 saves for the win. Corey Renwick had Nanaimo’s only goal Sunday, while Argue kept his team in it with 51 saves. GAME ON … Wednesday’s game between the Clippers and Kings is a 7 p.m. faceoff at Frank Crane.

Redmen hang on for playoff win I
VMFL TEAM beats Giants to advance to second round. BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN
It was closer than it needed to be, but the Nanaimo Redmen won and get to move on. The city’s Vancouver Mainland Football League midget team defeated the Chilliwack Giants 22-14 in playoff action Sunday at May Richards Bennett Pioneer Park. The underdog Giants gave the home team a scare, driving the field late before Nanaimo’s Jacob Odynsky came up with an interception on his own three-yard line with 47 seconds to go. The Redmen killed most of the clock, but then made a mistake trying to concede a safety and gave the Giants a couple more downs in the red zone. “It’s when you’ve really got to step up…” said David Work, Redmen linebacker. “This is it; your season in one play. What are you going to do? Players stepped up.” Marcus Severe made an interception with zeroes on the clock to clinch the victory. Sean Roden, Redmen coach, said his team kept calm in that critical situation in the dying seconds. “I think the defence had played so well during the day that they had the confidence that they could execute what we were trying to do,” he said. “And they did.” Sunday’s game was sloppy at times, as the red team

Knight said his team needs to keep its game simple to get back on track. “We’re going to have to learn that mistakes are going to cost you,” he said. “Teams are getting better.

If you’re going to give up partial breakaways all night, at some point in time they’re going to go in.” GAME ON … The Buccaneers (17-6) take on the Campbell River Storm on Thursday (Nov. 21) at 7:15 p.m. at the NIC. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
