Nanaimo sawmill slated for closure BY MELISSA FRYER THE NEWS BULLETIN
Western Forest Products has announced plans to close its sawmill on Nanaimo’s waterfront by the end of the year. Yesterday the company announced the decision to close the mill and move operations to its Duke Point sawmill as that plant nears completion on a $10-million modernization project. About 60 employees are affected by the move and will be offered employment at the
company’s other mills or severance under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement with United Steelworkers, said spokeswoman Amy Spencer. Lumber production is expected to increase not only at Duke Point but also at the company’s mill in Saltair. “The investments being made at Duke Point and the consolidation of our Nanaimo sawmill operations are expected to reduce costs, improve our flexibility to produce different grades of lum-
ber and increase our recovery factors from log to lumber,” said Don Demens, president and CEO, in a press release. In April, two men were killed and two others injured when a suspect opened fire at the Nanaimo sawmill. Kevin Addison, a former employee, was arrested and charged with the crime. Spencer said the shooting had no bearing on the decision to close the mill. “This is purely a business decision,” Spencer said. editor@nanaimobulletin.com
The civic election is heating up in the District of Lantzville with the largest-ever leadership race. The rural district is seeing a three-way fight for the mayor’s chair so far, with incumbent mayor Jack de Jong and threeterm councillor Joe Bratkowski announcing their candidacies last week. They join Colin Haime, a former mayor of Lantzville, who announced his bid in early September. It’s the largest civic leadership race Lantzville has seen since becoming a municipality in 2003. In 11 years and four elections, there has never been more than two contenders for the seat and twice the position was won by acclamation. Until 2011, there had also only ever been one person whose laid claim to the mayoral title. Haime, who kept his seat for three terms, lost to de Jong in 2011. This race gives people choice and brings a selection agendas to attention, according to Alexander Netherton, political studies professor at Vancouver Island University.

“Going from no municipality to a municipality with acclamation twice and then three candidates – I’d smile,” he said, adding it’s a “healthy thing.” Haime was the first to hand in his nomination papers Friday. He says his bid is not about regaining his seat, but a continued interest in helping lead Lantzville forward. He believes the community will face challenges around implementing a water agreement, finance and development and needs leadership with knowledge and experience. Among his priorities are protecting the character and lifestyle of Lantzville, which he says includes putting existing residents first. He also wants to see reduced spending and a policy to require public consultation on decisions and the regular release of in camera minutes. Incumbent de Jong, a former director of operations and systems management for Bell Canada International, says he’d like to contribute more to the community if he can. Under his leadership, council signed a memorandum of understanding with the Foothills developer, addressed the issue of urban agriculture and inked a water agreement with the City of Nanaimo.

Restoration of the Nanaimo Centennial Fountain is now underway. On Monday, the City of Nanaimo started a $35,000 repair job of the downtown centennial fountain. The work is considered to be the
first step of a longterm, phased restoration of the water feature at Port Place Shopping Centre, which was given to the city on the province’s centennial little more than 50 years ago. The fountain, with its hand-carved
salmon statues and colourful mosaics, has become a heritage site and Nanaimo’s only community-built fountain, but the city has also acknowledged it’s in need of repair. The concrete wall has begun to crumble, electrical work has corroded and the pumps have begun to fail. Art Groot, the city’s manager of facility planning and operations, said the overall plan is to “reinstate the

thetic upgrades and repairs. Fountain advocate Blake McGuffie feels the city had a responsibility to maintain the fountain and more money should have been spent to prevent it from getting “as bad as it is now,” but he’s also ecstatic about the latest work, calling it long overdue. “It really needs to be restored and it’s been a real long process. I have been working on this for two and a half years so far,” said McGuffie, who hopes to see the fountain eventually look as good as it did in its early years. It’s unknown how much of an engineering report the city commissioned will be used in long-term restoration planning. Early estimates had pegged the complete face lift at $250,000. Work on the fountain is expected to take approximately three weeks to complete. news@nanaimobulletin.com

The province’s new recycling regulations unfairly charges non-manufacturing companies in B.C., says the CEO of a home and garden retailer. Kelvin McCulloch, chief executive officer of Buckerfield’s, addressed delegates during a panel session on recycling stewardship at the ninth annual Zero Waste International conference in Nanaimo last week. McCulloch talked about the B.C. government’s decision to turn all recycling over to Multi-Material B.C., a not-forprofit agency that is part of the Canadian Stewardship Services Alliance, a nonprofit organization created to standardize packaging and printed paper recycling programs nationally. B.C.’s recycling regulations were updated in 2011 to shift responsibility for management of residential recycling from local governments and taxpayers to businesses that produce the materials. MMBC’s plan was approved

by the Environment Ministry in April 2013. MMBC collects fees from paper and packaging producers, based on how much they produce, then pays for municipal recycling programs from those proceeds. Industries impacted include the newspaper and printing industries, landscapers, bottle depots, waste management companies, manufacturing and export and farm industries. The plan, McCulloch argues, does not take into account that retailers, such as Buckerfield’s, are wrongfully categorized as producers and polluters, even though they do no manufacturing or packaging and have no control over how products imported from China and elsewhere are manufactured or packaged, so the vast majority of nonmanufacturing companies in B.C. are unfairly charged under the new regulations. He also argues municipalities, taxpayers and business were never properly consulted or informed about the new recycling regulation or the MMBC contract and that businesses and municipalities have effectively been coerced into signing on to the new program or face fines and penalties in what

Now de Jong said his objectives involve seeing pipe laid for water connections and meeting community requirements made difficult by limited water, such as seniors’ housing. Bratkowski is a newcomer to the mayoral race, but has been involved in Lantzville politics for more than 21 years, including as chairman of the Lantzville Improvement District. He says he has a different leadership style than the current mayor and his predecessor, believing his role would be a facilitator – someone who would spread work around and involve everybody. If elected, his first task would be to hold a strategic planning session to collect ideas and choose priorities, he said. Bratkowski said he’d also like to move forward on the water agreement, including getting information on timelines and costs for those who will vote on service, as well as see an expanded sewer system, downtown revitalization and a core services review.

seniors facility transferred By Chris Bush The News bulleTiN
The General George R. Pearkes Seniors Housing Society has turned over its assets, including an 82-unit seniors housing complex, to Nanaimo Affordable Housing. The deal between the non-profit societies transpired after the seniors society voted to dissolve several months ago. “We’ve been talking, actually for over a year, so it’s not new, but it just officially happened [Wednesday],” said Jim Spinelli, Nanaimo Affordable Housing executive director. “All of the property transfers and what have you won’t be com-
pleted for a couple of months yet.” General George R. Pearkes housing, located at 10 Buttertubs Dr., is a seniors supportive housing project that serves one meal a day and handles light housekeeping. Spinelli said those services will be maintained. Betty Barthel, president of the seniors society, said she is relieved the Buttertubs Drive property will remain affordable housing and that the new management is prepared to oversee redevelopment of the property into higher density affordable housing in the future. “Our buildings are aging and we have to rebuild sooner or
later and to start preparing that is going to take 10 years before you get to the construction stage,” Barthel said. “None of the board has experience doing that and we would have been competing for government funding.”
Nanaimo City Council is now accepting applications for appointment to serve as a Community-at-Large Representative on the Design Advisory Panel for the balance of a 3-year term ending 2015-MAR-31. The Design Advisory Panel (DAP) serves as an advisory body to Council responsible to review Form and Character Development Permit applications in relationship to city Design Guidelines, to ensure that the form and character of future development is of high quality which meets the needs of the community. DAP meetings take place twice per month, scheduled for the second and fourth Thursdays and commence at 5:00 pm. Citizens who are interested in volunteering their time to serve on DAP are invited to obtain a ‘Council Appointment Form – Design Advisory Panel’ from the Legislative Services Department, 455 Wallace Street, Nanaimo, BC (250-755-4405), or online at www.nanaimo.ca under Municipal Hall > City Council > Publications and Forms > Council Appointment Form – Design Advisory Panel. Terms of Reference and additional information on DAP may be obtained by contacting the Planning & Design Section at: 250 755-4473. In order to be considered, completed application forms must be submitted to the Legislative Services Department, prior to 4:30 pm on Tuesday, 2014-OCT-15.

Parents say rec pass rules discriminate
Parent roles defined in board policy By Karl yu The News bulleTiN
Parents might not have final say on special education testing for their children, according to a Nanaimo school district proposal that will define rights and roles of parents. A draft of the Parents’ Roles, Responsibilities, and Rights Administrative Procedure was presented to trustees at last month’s board meeting. It states that while parents have the right to “withhold written consent for special education individual assessment,” the deputy superintendent of learning services can veto that if students are deemed to be affecting their own or others’ educational well-being. D o n n a R e i m e r, school district spokeswoman, said parents are usually happy to have their children tested to determine problems, but occasionally parents don’t want assessment. That doesn’t pose a problem unless it interferes with learning and it would be examined case by case. The procedure hasn’t been finalized and the school district will provide copies to the Nanaimo district parent advisory council, the teachers’ and support workers’ unions and aboriginal education leaders for comment. Reimer said parents can provide comment via the district parent advisory council, which can be contacted at dpacsd68@ gmail.com. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

LuCAS BAird on what it’s like to deliver the news. By Chris Bush The News bulleTiN
When you sign up as a carrier for the News Bulletin there are some unexpected perks to the job. Just ask Lucas Baird, 9, who for 14 months has slogged it out, rain or shine, to deliver 40 papers twice a week to his neighbours on Thunderbird Crescent. Baird started out delivering 100 papers, but found he had to rush home four times to refill his wagon to get the route done before it got dark. “The first day I just about quit,” Baird said. He has learned to overcome adversity, especially when dealing with substandard equipment. “The wagon was taking a while, so we bought a cart,” Baird said. “The newspaper cart, the wheels are kind of already broken and the strap to keep the part that holds the papers kind of fell off, so now that part kind of just goes all over.” Baird has whittled his
delivery time down to anywhere from 45 minutes on Tuesdays to 90 minutes Thursdays when weekend flyers come. More flyers means extra pay and, all told, he makes about $45 a month from his route. Baird’s mom, Lisa Jory, allows him to spend half his earnings, but makes him save the other half. So far he’s bought a video game console, but is eyeing future investment plans. “A laptop for university or a camera for YouTube,” Baird said. He prefers delivering during the cooler winter months over hot summer days like the one that gave him mild heat stroke and a really bad headache. “I couldn’t stop crying,” Baird said. “I tried to give it everything, but it wouldn’t stop.” Baird and his mom called it a day, but he went out and finished his route the following afternoon. Ask how Baird likes delivering newspapers and he breaks it down into percentages – about 30 per cent bad, which includes rain or too much sun, and about 70 per cent good. A key perk of the job falls into Baird’s 70 per cent good

side of the ledger. “Well, it’s fun to have time away from my sister sometimes,” Baird said. Gratuities are welcomed. Last Christmas one of his neighbours tipped him $20. Baird and his family are currently in the process of moving a couple streets over and he’s looking forward to taking on a new route where he’ll have about a half dozen extra papers to deliver. Black Press is celebrating Carrier Appreciation Week by thanking its team of more than 190 newspaper carriers. Routes are available all across the city and open to all ages.

Nanaimo parents are up in arms over the city’s tougher stance on recreation assistance, pointing out changed criteria have made some special-needs adults ineligible for free passes. The City of Nanaimo is being asked to rethink criteria for the Leisure Economic Access Policy pass, which helps families in financial need access civic recreation facilities. Advocates and parents say special needs adults used to be able to show ministry bus passes or a Person with Disabilities slip to become Leap cardholders – a move that gives them discounts and 50 free admissions to civic facilities each year. But since September, the municipality has asked for the earnings of the entire household, making some low-income adults who live with their parents ineligible for the aid, while peers in group homes or respite care still qualify. According to city staff members, the Leap program – an average $300,000 annual cost – was meant to ensure families could access recreation activities and has always been based on financial need. The city is now enforcing it, said Liz Williams, the city’s manager of recreation services, adding some families weren’t submitting family income. “I would say we haven’t enforced [the family income rule] as well as we could have,” Williams said. “We are just trying to get the program under control, which is where we are at right now.” But the move is called unfair and discriminatory by parents and advocates who want to see special-needs adults judged on their own ability to pay. “These are adults. They live at home. They are independent ... now we are saying to these adults, everything you do needs to be dependent on your parents’ income. That’s not fair to them,” said Ericka McDonald with Nanaimo Supportive Lifestyles. Nanaimo parents Debbie Remillard and Teresa Hamilton will both see their children lose access to the program because of their total household income. Remillard’s 29-yearold daughter, Jayme, qualified for the program for 11 years and used the passes to participate in a day program. Now she will have to pay more than $480 for the same access while others continue to receive assistance because they live away from their parents. Hamilton calls it a fairness issue. “It seems like if your kids don’t live at home with you, kids with special needs, and you put them in government care they just seem to get more,” she said. The city’s recreation committee is expected to look into the program criteria in November.

EDITORIAL
Special needs need attention
One of the most contentious issues in the recently ended B.C. teachers’ strike was the decreased availability of education assistants and professional learning specialists in schools. The government has said it will fund more specialists and classroom assistants, but how that will be divided up is anyone’s guess. The movement to place more students with severe behavioural challenges or other special needs into regular classrooms, to integrate them with the rest of the student population, is a noble idea and one that makes sense from a moral and ethical point of view. From a practical standpoint, some of these students remain unable to handle the stresses of everyday class life and require almost constant attention and supervision from classroom assistants. But those same assistants and specialists are often tasked with helping struggling students in multiple classes get through challenging learning situations. In B.C.’s education budget, funding for special needs education has lagged behind. The result is classrooms where students having a tough time in mandatory subjects like math or science are not able to get the individual attention they need to thrive. Everyone knows teachers are maxed out trying to help two dozen kids or more succeed in their courses, an especially tough situation for those educators with special needs students in their classrooms who require more individual help than those without such designations. Taking special needs students out of classrooms would be a step backwards, from both a diversity and a humanitarian standpoint. So, it’s critical that provincial funding better meets the needs of all students and doesn’t leave those who are struggling waiting in vain for time-crunched teachers to work with them. We hope the province learns this lesson while schools are in session. The Nanaimo News Bulletin is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry. The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member newspapers. Directors oversee the mediation of complaints, with input from both the newspaper and the complaint holder. If talking with the editor or publisher does not resolve your complaint about coverage or story treatment, you may contact the B.C. Press Council. Your written concern, with documentation, should be sent to B.C. Press Council, PO Box 1356, Ladysmith, V9G 1A9. For information, phone 888-687-2213 or go to www.bcpresscouncil.org.

has encouraged rainwater harvesting. So with municipal elections looming next month, we should be making sure that candidates favour water management plans that encourage better household use of that increasingly scarce resource, as well as innovative infrastructure matching the quality of water to its uses. I’d like to hear fewer arguments about dams to provide swimming holes or agreements between water regions in the same RDN planning area, and more about appropriate regulation for the public good. At the personal level, we can cut down toilet waste by placing spacing dams in the cistern and avoiding careless flushing of things like tissues or cigarette butts. If we have old washing machines, we can use them only with full loads. Use less paper. It takes 10 litres of water to produce one sheet of 8.5x11 paper.

Women must demonstrate leadership To the Editor,
Re: Group seeks more women in politics, Sept. 30. I think this needs to be said: neither of the women on our present council have distinguished themselves as qualified decision makers. Almost always these women vote in favour of city staff recommenda-
tions, and staff is almost entirely dominated by men who are well-meaning but rigid, dogmatic, unimaginative and self-centred if not self-righteous, and largely indifferent to the views or issues that might be particular to women. I have a friend who worked at city hall and
she said during a staff meeting, “We don’t need signs on the door that read ‘men’ or ‘women,’ they just have to read ‘managers’ and ‘clerks.’” In no significant way has that divide changed in the years since my friend made that very astute observation. I really do want more
women on council, as much as I want more women in managerial positions in city hall, but I do not want any more women who abdicate their responsibilities by simply deferring difficult decisions to the men in the room.

Bus service inconvenient, transit users discourteous To the Editor,
Re: Bus stop waits irk Nanaimoites, Editorial, Oct. 2. I’m a Nanaimoite and I use B.C. Transit. Sunday service is an outrage. The buses only come every hour to an hour and a bit. Lots of times I’ve missed my connecting bus and have to wait for the next bus on Sundays or even during the week. Some of the bus drivers are unkind and drive away before everyone is sitting down. My friend broke some ribs and another friend broke his shoulder with the driver driving away before sitting down
and my friends were either using a walker or a cane. Now my friend uses an electric wheelchair. Some Nanaimoites can’t even move to let a person with a stroller on the bus. I use my own cart sometimes and sometimes the bus is full and I have to wait for the next bus or someone is sitting in the front of the bus and won’t move for me to put my cart out of the aisle. Some bus drivers can’t even help you when you need to get somewhere and you don’t know where it is.

a motion announcing the people of Nanaimo should be the ones deciding whether a large chunk of the park be leased to the Hilton hotel chain. But last week she deferred the motion, saying she wanted more information. What more do you need? It’s simple, the electors who use parks should be the ones deciding whether this hillside with a great view of the harbour should be cut up and taken over by big business. The rights of citizens have been subverted once again.

Re: Georgia Park lease deserves referendum, Opinion, Sept. 16. It sure looks like non-elected bureaucrats continue to run the show at city hall. A contentious issue on the council agenda was removed. And it means, according to the B.C. Community Charter, there won’t be six weeks’ advance notice to place the Georgia Park referendum question on the Nov. 15 election ballot.

Comments, concerns heard at municipalities convention The CBC’s Rex Murphy wisely conveyed at this month’s Union of British Columbian Municipalities convention in Whistler that, “municipalities are the very atoms of our democracy.” On those sage remarks, I am pleased to say that our entire region was exceptionally well represented by its municipal leadership. I would like to extend my appreciation to all who contributed in meetings with me and our provincial ministers to discuss a range of local concerns such as island ferries, transportation upgrades and local watershed issues including Englishman River. Over the next few months, I look forward to following up with municipal leaders and my provincial colleagues on the discussion that took place in Whistler and work together on these concerns for the people we all represent.

Archaeologist digs up his research I
City’s dark side will be explored
CLARENCE RICHIE shares his research and stories at Bowen Park Complex on Thursday night.
BY NICHOLAS PESCOD The News BulleTiN
A respected archaeologist will be digging up his research and memory about a historical excavation on Newcastle Island when he comes to Nanaimo later this week. On Thursday (Oct. 9) at the Bowen Park Activity Centre, Clarence Richie will be sharing his research and stories from an excavation he led on Newcastle Island over a decade ago. Prior to the Second World War, Saltery Beach on Newcastle Island was used as a
herring fishing station and was also the site of the Nanaimo Shipyards. The site was operated by a number of JapaneseCanadians. In 2002, Richie led an excavation at Saltery Beach where his team uncovered a number of artifacts. Richie, who has taught at what was then called Malaspina College, speaks at 7:30 p.m. The event is free.

She was born, raised and lived her life in Nanaimo, B.C. Vel had a passion for cooking, canning and making raspberry jam for her grandchildren, she was known for her green thumb and took such pride in her yard where she spent many hours in her garden. One of her favorite pastimes was playing cards and winning “most� of the games. Vel was a positive person and alway found the good in people no matter what. She loved to entertain where everyone was welcome, she enjoyed her family, friends and neighbours. She was a person who cared deeply for all. Vel will be missed dearly. Forever in our hearts, love you. We would also like to give a special thank you to Dr. Love for always going above and beyond for our family.

Geoffrey Philip Tourond July 4, 1950 – September 22, 2014 “Courage at the Heart� It is with sad hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and son, Geoffrey Philip Tourond, on September 22, 2014, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Geoff is survived by his wife Lynne, children Michael (Jada), Alicia, Dianna (Geordie), grandchildren Tyler, Gage, Kashai, Julia, Aiden, Faith and Bella, sisters Jacqueline Guest and Jocelyn Tourond and mother-in-law Kathleen Phillips. Geoff was born July 4, 1950 in Turner Valley, Alberta. He and Lynne were high school sweethearts and married in February 1972. Geoff joined the RCMP in 1970, and was awarded the Commissioner’s Commendation in 1971 for ‘extreme courage and tenacity in subduing his assailant after being seriously wounded by gunfire near Clinton, BC.� He received other commendations during his career including two Commanding Officer’s Commendations while he was stationed in Nanaimo, as well as the Queen’s Jubilee Medal. He was stationed in Kamloops, Clinton, Kelowna, Revelstoke, and Salmon Arm before settling in Nanaimo. Following his career in the RCMP, Geoff continued to be involved in law enforcement as a parole officer and then as Loss Prevention Manager for Walmart and the Bay. His strong work ethic and sense of humour made him a valued colleague. Prior to joining the RCMP, Geoff was active in his school and community, serving as President of the Student’s Council and achieving the rank of 2nd Lieutenant – Calgary Highlanders Militia. In later years, he continued to be involved in the community, coaching amateur sports, and as Chairman of the Shuswap Youth Centre, Shuswap Employment Outreach Society, and a Director on the board of the Nanaimo Crisis and Intervention Society. A highlight of his life was being chosen to run with the Olympic Torch in 2010. His family was all there to cheer him on and it was a memorable day for us all. Geoff’s other interests included competitive racquetball, at one point ranking in the top 50 in BC and achieving a bronze medal at the World Police and Fire Games. He also enjoyed nature photography and always carried his camera on our many hikes and holidays to such places as Hawaii and Costa Rica, recording memories that his family can continue to enjoy. He was proud of his Metis heritage and travelled to Saskatchewan several years ago to trace his family history relating to the “Battle of Tourond Coulee� near Batoche, where his family played a significant role. Family was important to Geoff and he was very proud of his three children and the courage they have all shown in facing the challenges in their own lives. He had a special relationship with his grandchildren who all remember the fun of playing with Grandpa. A Celebration of Life was held on September 29 at Telford’s Funeral Chapel, followed by interment in the ‘Field of Honour’ at Cedar Valley Memorial Gardens. Donations in memory of Geoff may be made to the Palliative Care Unit at NRGH (where Geoff and his family received such loving care from an extraordinary team of nurses), or to a charity of your choice.

Edgewood has partnered with Torontobased Bellwood Health Services to create a national addictions treatment network. Edgewood opened its Toronto office in early 2014 and the two firms combined services in September. Together they have the potential to become one of Canada’s biggest treatment providers for adult addiction and mental health treatment. Lorne Hildebrand, executive director of Edgewood in
Nanaimo, said the partnership is in part a response to insurance companies looking to place clients across Canada in treatment centres offering recognized standard treatment methods and standardized pricing for services. “Insurance companies like Great-West Life are simply saying to us the treatment landscape in Canada looks like a couple of big treatment centres and a whole bunch of smaller centres, everybody doing different things, everybody charging different prices, everybody claiming
they’re the best,” Hildebrand said. He said since 2008, economic conditions contributed to mergers between various treatment facilities and also between independent treatment professionals, adding there is concern that if Canadian facilities don’t act first a large U.S. treatment firm could come across the border and potentially take over and dominate the Canadian addiction treatment business. “I thought we needed to be proactive, so there was both what our referrals were asking [us to do] and what the market was telling us – that there were changes coming down the pike,” Hildebrand said.

Immediate Value Proposition while it may seem to you that describing your product or service is the most important characteristic of your homepage, an equally if not more important step is describing the benefit to the consumer of purchasing your offerings. how will an individual’s life be made better by purchasing your product or service? use your homepage to clearly define the problems faced by your customers, followed by a brief explanation of how your company offers solution to those problems. whether you are designing a website homepage, crafting an e-mail marketing campaign, pitching to an investor or networking at a business function, the value proposition of your business should be made apparent right away. Clear Call to Action what would you like the customer to do next? This might be different for every business and it’s an important question to consider. would you like your website visitors to join a mailing list? shop your online store? Talk about your business on social channels? Once you have a goal, you can begin to shape your homepage to reflect that goal and encourage your audience to follow the path you’ve laid. when appropriate, incentivising a call to action is a great way to increase conversions from inactive to active visitors.

like visitors to browse your online inventory gallery, consider providing a few items right on the homepage to entice further exploration. whatever your goal, there is likely a simple way to shepherd your visitors in the right direction. Social Proof if a new potential customer is visiting your website for the first time, establishing trust is paramount. in today’s consumer driven marketplace, providing testimonials or social media recommendations goes a long way, as peer-to-peer feedback is becoming the largest influence on purchase decisions. even if your company deals exclusively in businessto-business transactions, other satisfied customers singing your praises will always encourage trust, and as such should be present on your website. identify your company’s biggest fans and advocates and ask for a short testimonial.

Edgewood formed in Nanaimo in 1994 as a locally based alcohol and addictions treatment centre and has evolved into the Edgewood Health Network, with outpatient addiction services centres in Victoria, Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Seattle. Bellwood Health Services, operating since 1984, is now part of the Edgewood Health Network. Edgewood plans to open 20 new outpatient offices over the next two years and is also looking to open inpatient treatment centres in Quebec and the Maritimes. To serve referral agencies in a national market, Edgewood developed what Hildebrand calls the easy screening tool, based on client placement criteria recognized by the American Society of Addictions Medicine and the American Psychiatry Association, which have established industry-wide accepted guidelines and reasons for placing clients in specific treatment programs and facilities. For now, Edgewood staff are learning how to merge two treatment organizations with similar philosophies, but slightly different ways of doing things. “We’ve had to send a lot of people from Nanaimo to Toronto and that’s been kind of interesting,” Hildebrand said. “There’s a lot of people who don’t even know what Nanaimo is. They just look at you and go, ‘Nanaimo? There’s a centre of excellence in Nanaimo, like, who are you?’ So that’s been kind of fun to deal with that.” photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Nanaimo’s key to being the “hub” of Vancouver Island has always been our central location for on- and off-island travel. As a long-standing association dedicated to Better Community through Better Business, we believe strongly that an alternate, efficient and convenient means for Nanaimo businesses and residents to physically connect to and from downtown Vancouver is a necessity. And the perfect candidate for this is knocking on our door. Island Ferries Services offers an exciting opportunity for all of Vancouver Island. Their two high-speed catamarans shuttling back and forth to downtown Vancouver provide many benefits to passengers. It is innovative, faster and less expensive than B.C. Ferries or float planes. It reduces the reliance on cars, and will create good, familysustaining jobs here on Vancouver Island. It will boost tourism, real estate, investment and economic development for much of Vancouver Island. Beyond serving tourists travelling back and forth, concert or sports event fans and day-trippers, the dream is to have downtown Vancouver workers realize that the 55-minute ride home to Vancouver Island is a pretty pleasant commute.
In addition to improving the daily ‘slog,’ there is the added feature of owning a home at a quarter to half the price of the Lower Mainland. Work in Vancouver by day, commute by sea, enjoy the Island lifestyle, and end up further ahead financially – what’s not to like? B.C. Ferries is becoming more costly each year – especially for businesses and families travelling with a car – while air travel can be an expensive proposition and is prohibitive for repeat and regular use when commuting downtown to downtown. Island Ferries offers riders an additional choice and provides a much quicker connection between the business centres that is so important to the economic future of Vancouver Island. Island Ferries proposal deserves the support of all levels of government and your Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce endorses its proposals to government to support it as well. If you believe in ferries, please take a moment to sign a letter to all levels of government and say so. Catching a ride to downtown Vancouver on a high-speed luxury catamaran can be a step closer just by clicking on http://goo.gl/ jXXIOR.

Raiders beat Rebels to finish strong I
V.I. WINS rivalry game by 48-7 score as postseason looms. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
The V.I. Raiders kept up their gridiron grind all the way through the last game of the regular season, and now they can get ready for playoffs. The Raiders defeated the Westshore Rebels 48-7 on Saturday at Caledonia Park to finish the B.C. Football Conference schedule. “Overall we executed pretty well…” said Brian Ridgeway, Raiders coach. “We got to use the whole bench this game, which is good, and all the guys got meaningful reps.” There was nothing at stake in the standings on Saturday, as the Raiders were already headed to the post-season and the Rebels couldn’t qualify, but the visitors played with pride and the home team matched that and more. “A walk in the park doesn’t really help us at all. We need that intensity and that competition to get better and Victoria has some good players and they always play us tough,” Ridgeway said. Marshall Cook, V.I. receiver, liked the way his team played hard right till the end of the regular season. “It’s fantastic to be able to stay out there and stay fully focused from the opening snap to the end of the game,” he said. “Being able to do that now translates to when it comes down to big games.” Cook had a huge performance in his final regular-season game as a Raider, making seven catches for 258 yards and three touchdowns, including a

96-yard major. His stats secured a league receiving title, and his 64 catches and 1,084 yards are both third-best in BCFC history. Quarterback Liam O’Brien was 12-for-20 in Saturday’s victory, giving him 171 completions and 2,842 yards, both fourth-best in BCFC history. He threw TD passes to Alex Kutra and Cook and ran one in himself. Other TDs were scored by Micheal
Ritchott, on a 70-yard run early in the first quarter, and Nate Berg, on a four-yard run in the second quarter. Kurt Parsons threw two second-half TDs to Cook. Ritchott finished with 128 rushing yards on five carries. Defensively, Nathan Mayers, Josh Paisley and Travis Novak had interceptions and Tyler Harvey and Kaelan Botel had one and a half sacks each. Dylan Chapdelaine made seven solo
tackles and Nigel Henry had five tackles and a sack. Rebels DB Braeden Swatez, who is from Nanaimo, had a standout game with three interceptions and a fumble recovery.

Nanaimo Buccaneers forward Clayton Peace, left, continues to vie for a puck after being knocked down during Thursday’s game at the Nanaimo Ice Centre.
The Nanaimo Buccaneers briefly took over first place in the league before falling back. The Bucs doubled up the Westshore Wolves 4-2 on Thursday night at the Nanaimo Ice Centre, but lost 6-2 to the Campbell River Storm the next night on the road. The win came against the Vancou-
ver Island Junior Hockey League’s highest-scoring team. “I thought it was our best win of the season in regards to playing a full 60,” said Derek Bachynski, Bucs coach. “A good team buy-in. I thought our D zone coverage and limiting their chances was the best that I’ve seen all year.” Will McNamara led Nanaimo’s offence with two goals and an
assist, Trent Bell and Nolan Richardson had one goal each and Jordan Levesque dished three assists. Liam Young was the winning goalie as shots were 28-24 for Nanaimo. Bell and Hobin Zinck scored for the Bucs in the loss to the Storm. GAME ON … The Buccaneers play the Victoria Cougars on Thursday (Oct. 9) at 7:15 p.m. at the NIC. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Clippers take two on trip The Nanaimo Clippers were a minute away from a perfect road trip. T h e c i t y ’s B . C . Hockey League team won two out of three games on the Lower Mainland this past weekend and were close to three out of three. The Clips started with a 3-1 win over the Surrey Eagles on Friday, then got past the Langley Rivermen 3-2 in overtime the next night before falling 4-3 to the Coquitlam Express on Sunday afternoon. “We played pretty good hockey this weekend and kind of feel a little bit shorted…” said Mike Vandekamp, Clippers coach. “We should have taken more points out of the weekend, but we’ll live and learn from the experience and I know we’re a better team after the weekend than we were before.” In the game against the Express, the Shipmen led the BCHL’s defending champions 3-2 with two and a half minutes left, but the home team tied it up and then scored the game-winning goal with 30 seconds to go. Nicolas Carrier, Jake Wozney and Jake Jackson scored for Nanaimo and Guillaume Decelles made 39 saves as shots were 43-39. At Langley, Sheldon Rempal scored the winning goal with 20 seconds left in double overtime. Brendan Taylor and Ryan Forbes also scored and Decelles was first star with 31 saves. Against Surrey, Rempal, Yanni Kaldis and Jackson scored and Decelles was first star with 31 stops. GAME ON … The Clippers host the Cowichan Valley Capitals on Friday (Oct. 10) at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena.

’DAWGS WIN 37-0 against spartans.
BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN
The ground-andpound Barsby Bulldogs have a new game plan this year, and it’s working. John Barsby Secondary School’s AA varsity football team beat the Sentinel Spartans 37-0 on Friday at Merle Logan Field thanks to a shutdown defence and an aerial attack. The ’Dawgs set a program record, said coach Rob Stevenson, with 35 pass attempts. All five Barsby touchdowns came through the air. Usually the Bulldogs are quite content to rush the ball all the way down the field.
Stevenson said it’s an odd feeling, like “a woollen turtleneck,” for him to call so many pass plays. “Barsby really prides themselves on being multi-sport athletes,” he said.

Stevenson said a lot of Barsby’s key guys are ironman players, so a pass-happy offence is a little easier on their bodies. “Our objective is to get into that post-season tournament with the best draw possible and as healthy as possible,” he said. As for the shutout, it was the third straight for Barsby’s D. “You never get tired of them…” said the coach. “They’re the ultimate compliment of a defensive effort.” Cole Virtanen had 10 tackles and an interception, Hill had two picks and Naythan Vogt had one.

Fire prevention focused on detection
I
smoke alarms help cut the chance of dying in a fire by half.
Working smoke alarms can make a life-saving difference in a fire. That’s the message behind this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives: Test Yours Every Month. According to the latest National Fire Prevention Association research, working smoke alarms cut the chance of dying in a fire in half. Meanwhile, almost two-thirds of home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement. Test alarms at least monthly by pushing the test button. Make sure you vacuum your smoke alarms every month too. Know what to do when you hear it. Practice your escape plan with your family and loved ones. Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old or sooner if they don’t respond properly. “In a fire, seconds count,” said Alan Millbank, fire preven-

Test your smoke alarm monthly and clean it every six months; Ensure that power is being transmitted to the alarm and that it will activate in the presence of smoke; Test your smoke alarm by pressing the ‘test’ button. Even alarms with a pilot light that indicates power is being transmitted should be tested regularly; Battery-operated smoke alarms will warn you when batteries need replacing. Despite this, make it a habit to change the batteries yearly; When you’ve been away from home for a few days, check your alarm on your return to ensure it is working properly; Your smoke alarm can’t protect you if the batteries have been removed or a plug has been disconnected; To clean the alarm, open the cover and gently vacuum the interior.

Fire safety: What to do if fire spreads If your clothes catch fire, stop, drop and roll on the floor to smother the flames; Cool minor burns with cold water. If your skin is blistered, charred or white, get emergency help immediately; When you see flames, smell smoke or hear the smoke alarm, get everybody out of the house; Feel the door first. If it isn’t hot, open it very slowly. If there is fire or smoke, use another exit; Crawl low under smoke – the air near the floor is safer to breathe; If you cannot escape, close the door and seal around it with cloth to prevent smoke from entering the room; Always use the stairs and never the elevators; Designate a meeting place a safe distance from the house and make sure everyone is there; Take the children to the neighbour; Phone the emergency number from the neighbour’s home; Give the complete address, describe the situation and inform the operator if anyone is still inside; Stay on the phone until you are told to hang up; Do not go back to the house for any reason.

Homeowners help prevent house fires with planning A house fire can engulf and destroy a home in a matter of minutes. Even with the fast-acting response of firefighters, a home that has caught fire may be irreparably damaged by flames, soot and water. Most fires are largely preventable. The following are a few fireproofing measures for safetyconscious homeowners. Have a fire extinguisher in an easily accessible location. Ideally, there should be a fire extinguisher in every room of the home, but at the least keep one wherever fire is used regularly, such as a kitchen or by a fireplace. Ensure the fire extinguisher is charged and that you understand how to operate it. Remove combustible materials from around the house. Do not allow old clothing, rags, newspapers, or cardboard boxes to accumulate around the house. Discard newspapers and magazines as quickly as possible and be careful to avoid storing anything too close to heaters, furnaces or electrical equipment. Adhere to the recommended wattage in lamps and lighting fixtures. Do not exceed the recommended bulb wattage for lights around the house. There may be overheating or shorting that can lead to fire. Look for fireproof interior decor
items. Nowadays, carpeting and furniture can be coated with fireproof chemicals. The added investment may be worth it in the long run. Do not leave candles unattended. Many people like the look and aroma that candles provide. Candles also provide emergency illumination in the event of a power outage. Candles can be easily knocked over and start a fire. In fact, candles are one of the top causes of house fires. Never leave a candle unattended, even for a short amount of time. And certainly never go to sleep without extinguishing a candle. Keep the chimney clean. Inspect the chimney flue regularly and have it cleaned to prevent an abundance of residual burnt material from accumulating. This creosote can catch fire itself. Trim any overhanging branches or vegetation to reduce the amount of combustible material near the roof. Verify electrical safety. Extension cords and power strips should be kept to a minimum, and the outlets should not be overloaded. Replace fuses properly and don’t be afraid to call a certified electrician to verify you are correctly set up. By making a few tweaks, a homeowner can decrease the likelihood of a fire.
