Society keeps ‘empire’ name I CITY REVOKES grant money over name deemed offensive. BY CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN

Group offers free, lightly used gowns for prom BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THE NEWS BULLETIN
A Nanaimo group is offering free prom dresses to ensure every graduating belle feels ready to go to the ball. Prom Closet Nanaimo is making its debut this year, offering lightly used and free gowns to make sure the financial challenges of prom don’t hold graduates back from joining celebrations. Prom can get pricey with some teens paying upwards of $500 to get the right dress, according to volunteers, who want to offer an alternative to those in financial need as
“
For some girls going and spending that money is a rite of passage.
well as teens who’d rather get something second-hand. “[Volunteers] want to reduce some stress around prom. Just to bring out the fun of it,” said Joan Hiemstra,
a member of Prom Closet Nanaimo. “For some girls, going and spending that money is a rite of passage and they want to and they don’t want to be denied that ... but for some they just don’t ... and yeah, we just want to celebrate those girls, too.” It’s not the first time volunteers have stepped in to help get graduates ready for the pomp and ceremony of prom. The Cinderella Foundation matched up teens in need with gowns until it closed about five years ago.

The Empire Days Celebration Society is staying loyal to the empire, at least in name. Society members gathered Tuesday night to determine whether to change the names of the society and its annual parade or continue under existing monikers. The society, which organizes and fundraises for the Victoria Day long weekend Empire Days Parade and fireworks display, was denied $3,000 from the city’s cultural operating grant, plus $2,250 from the festivals and events grant at a meeting of city council Jan. 19 unless it agreed to remove the word ‘empire’ from its parade and society names on the basis that the word is offensive to minority groups. Bob Sears, society secretary, said the majority of society members voted to stick with tradition. “The membership, unfortunately, has voted overwhelmingly to keep the name and not change it,” Sears said. Brian Cash, a society member, entered a motion to table the decision until he addresses city council. After reviewing the society’s regulations, the motion to table the decision was invalid because it came just after the meeting’s
adjournment, but Cash said he wants to address city council to revisit the issue and its decision anyway. He said he questions why grants are awarded for operations and maintenance of other historic symbols, such as the Nanaimo Bastion, which could also be viewed negatively, yet the word ‘empire’ as it applies to the Empire Days Celebration Society poses a difficulty. “What we have done for the last 140 years is recognizing history and – cut a long story short – they want to eliminate the history background of it,” Cash said. Nanaimo Mayor Bill McKay said the issue is part of a broader conversation around reconciliation and the word “empire” represents oppression to the Snuneymuxw people. “We’ve got a new council now and a Snuneymuxw councillor who’s joined us,” McKay said. “We want to open new doors between us and the Snuneymuxw and we don’t want to continue to lick old wounds and that’s what this represents to them.” If council sticks to its decision, the Empire Days Celebration Society will likely have to raise the entire $15,000 to pay for the fireworks display without help from the city. Sears said the society has the money in place to put on the parade. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

CPR hElPS save girlfriend’s life after heart attack. By Chris Bush The News bulleTiN
A Nanaimo mother of two survived to give thanks to her boyfriend and paramedics for saving her life. Kathy O’Lear y likely wouldn’t have survived if her boyfriend Michael Oldfield hadn’t performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on her for eight minutes until B.C. Ambulance paramedics arrived the night her heart stopped after they came home from a walk Jan. 23, 2014. O’Leary, 36, had no history of heart trouble before she suffered an electrical or arrhythmic storm, a series of unexplained successive cardiac arrests. By the time an ambulance rushed to Victoria General Hospital – weather had grounded air ambulances – she had broken ribs from CPR chest compressions and third-degree burns to her chest and back from the defibrillator paramedics applied more than 50 times to restart or stabilize her heartbeat. But it was Oldfield’s initial effort, following instructions over the phone from Aaron Hungar, emergency medical dispatcher, that ensured O’Leary’s survival. At the Nanaimo North Ambulance Station Thursday, Oldfield received the B.C. Emergency Health

utes, many trained professionals can only provide physically demanding chest compressions for about two minutes, and he and O’Leary have since taken CPR training from St. John Ambulance. “It’s definitely a lifechanger, this experience, for ever yone involved – friends, family – and I can’t, honestly, thank Aaron enough,” Oldfield said. “I recall the night very clearly. I won’t forget that he kept me on track and brought me back to doing what I needed to do.” O’Lear y now has an implantable cardioverter defibrillator that applies electrical shocks to control life-threatening arrhythmias in her chest. “He’s truly a hero,” O’Leary said. “He exhibited stuff that I don’t know if I could do. He stepped up and saved my life that night and so did all these gentlemen and I feel extremely blessed and extremely grateful that I’m here, and here my kids, and that I’m living life to the fullest now.” Hungar has talked dozens of people on emergency scenes through the CPR process. “People who do not receive CPR prior to prehospital care generally have extraordinarily poor outcomes ... so it is incredibly important to get people trained and aware and then recognizing a problem exists and then acting on it quickly,” Hungar said.
Earthquake detection is being considered for inclusion for the construction project at Wellington Secondary School. The high school’s seismic upgrade includes construction of a new wing and structural enhancements to protect against seismic activity and the district is examining both early warning and heavy-motion systems. According to Pete Sabo, Nanaimo school district director of planning and operations, the district was approached by Phillip Chambers, director responsible for the Seismic Mitigation Program, who is working with the University of B.C. regarding installation of systems at schools receiving seismic upgrades. “The advance notice detection system is via two sensors in the ground and it apparently detects [seismic waves] in advance. This can allow, say, 15 seconds advance notice of an earthquake and it also allows for consideration of a future provincial network, where they would then be able to provide advance notice of an earthquake,” said Sabo. “The heavy motion detection system is a number of sensors on the structure itself and which would allow engineers to determine how much movement happened during the earthquake and assist in determining how the building performed and whether or not the building is re-inhabitable and how quickly it might be re-inhabitable,” he said. Sabo said the ministry has asked the school district to consider installing the systems at Wellington. If an agreement is reached between the three on the scope and cost of the system, the ministry would support installation out of the project budget, he said. The systems are a current priority but there isn’t a schedule for approval, according to Sabo. The project’s total budget is approximately $24.5 million and all work is estimated to be completed by January, according to Emil Bock, school district acting manager of energy and capital.

regional district aims to establish First Nations liaison position Regional district directors voted to establish a new position at the RDN – a First Nation liaison – which will focus on relationships and intergovernmental affairs. Money to fund the position would come from the exisiting budget and will not affect the 2015 RDN budget, said CAO Paul Thorkelsson. The motion was passed at
Tuesday night’s RDN committee of the whole meeting and still needs to be ratified at the next regular board meeting later this month. The idea was first brought forward by Deep Bay/Bowser representative Bill Veenhof, who suggested the “currently funded long range planning position, recently vacated by Lisa Bhopalsingh, be filled as

soon as possible with a focus and priority as First Nation liaison.” “The trouble with that is long range planning positions are paid by taxes collected to fund long range planning services, not to fund First Nations liaison positions,” said Thorkelsson. Thorkelsson suggested creating a part-time position instead. Nanaimo Coun. Jerry Hong

Donations still needed From /1
John Barsby Secondary School has been opening its closet for a decade to any graduate in the district who could find the time to try on dresses during school hours. It closed this year, having less room to keep the dresses with a larger student body and donated the garments to Prom Closet Nanaimo. There are now racks full of colourful dresses in sizes 00 to 24 waiting in storage for the group’s first two-day boutique event Monday and Tuesday (Feb. 23-24). Dresses are free to Grade 12 students, who’ll make appointments with personal advisors to get outfitted for the big day. There will also be suits for guys.
So far there have been 18 bookings, but Hiemstra expects more. This is just the beginning of Prom Closet Nanaimo, she said. “I don’t want it to stay just something to help people who can’t afford … I really want to see it growing into the socially acceptable thing to do,” she said of girls recycling and redesigning second-hand dresses. Donations of recent, lightly used prom dresses are still in demand and can be dropped off at the front office of Nanaimo Christian School. People looking to donate or sponsor the group, or set up a prom outfit appointment can also send an e-mail to promcloset. nanaimo@gmail.com.

Island Health brings planning local
I
four arEaS help focus decisions in community.
By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTIN
Island Health is changing the way it does business, with new geographic leaders, better community collaboration and local health care solutions. That’s according to Island Health’s CEO and president Dr. Brendan Carr, who introduced a new ‘geographically based’ health-care structure during a Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce luncheon last week. The structure emphasizes local planning and decision-making, and value-added community partnerships. “More and more the work that we do is actually anchored in communities and more and more the work that we are doing is not actually our work, but it’s work that we are doing as a partner ... so we need to have a structure that is purposely
designed and is effective at building those kinds of relationships in communities,” Carr said. The health authority will be carved into four regions, with new local leadership teams. Dr. Drew Digney and Suzanne Fox will lead health care delivery in central Vancouver Island and the west coast, an area that spans Nanaimo north to Qualicum Beach, as well as communities like Port Alberni, Ucluelet and Ahousaht. The duo told the News Bulletin the change is exciting and stems from community engagement sessions which showed people up and down the Island want more local control over services and health-care delivery. “We need to be better in health care of reaching out and working with our partners, to actually identify gaps in service and how we work together to close those gaps and not be so siloed in the things that we do,” said Fox, executive director of the region. “By doing this, it’s going to allow us to localize and sort of special-
ize the services – the health services and the community services ... that those specific communities need.” Digney, now the executive medical director for the central Island region, sees the need to spend time looking at transitions in care, from hospital to home, or residential care. Those transitions can be points of friction and there’s room to improve, he said. Digney said the structure also previously saw somebody in charge of home and community services and others in charge of kidney services and emergency services, but nobody looked at the overall picture if a patient needed to be looked after in home and community for a kidney problem after they got out of emergency. “My vision is to create a real system, one where all the pieces are working in concert, understanding who’s doing what, where and when and we don’t have people sort of falling between the cracks,” he said. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Plastic bags not accepted The City of Nanaimo is reminding residents not to place their recycling out for collection in tied plastic bags. The city’s recycling contractor can no longer throw plastic bags containing recyclables into the truck as plastic bags are no longer accepted in curbside recycling. Plastic bags are not accepted as they cause problems during the sorting process, becoming tangled in machinery, resulting in less material being recycled. This change was mandated by the province. Recycling can be placed in a yellow bag or in a clearly marked rigid container. If residents choose to use clear blue recycling bags, please ensure they are untied.

Parents looking at bus options for Cinnabar students A Nanaimo parent is attempting to establish additional busing for students to Ladysmith Secondary School. With the Cedar Community Secondar y closure, the previous school board gave Ladysmith and John Barsby Secondary as school options, with busing provided only to Barsby. A group in Cedar started a
bus to Ladysmith and Lee Llewellyn, a parent in Cinnabar Valley, is looking to do the same. Llewellyn said that like that group, he is looking to use Smith Transportation and will need about 47 people to fill a bus. He currently has about 26. He said it would cost about $110 per student. “It’s not that bad, but again, I come back to we
shouldn’t have to do this anyway. It shouldn’t be our job to do this,” he said Steve Rae, school board chairman, said busing hasn’t been discussed by the current board, although it is something it can revisit, with public forums that will be held leading up to 201516 budget passage. Please contact Llewellyn at 250-756-8848.

Health records consolidated under electronic system
I
ISlaNd hEalth investing more than $175 million over 10 years for ihealth program. By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN
Nanaimo will be the first to hook into Island Health’s new, $178-million ‘one person, one record’ medical system, lauded as the first of its kind in the country. IHealth, an electronic health record system, has been a decade in the making and will go online for the first time this June, building a central bank of patient information that health-care practitioners can eventually access at any Island Health facility. Electronic health records are not new. The provincial government itself has cre-
ated eHealth, which is meant to store lab results, diagnostic scans and medication histories online. But Island Health says its initiative is different and a much larger scope than electronic health records that exist in other provinces. It’s investing $175 million over 10 years into IHealth, which is being developed in partnership with Cerner Canada and will span all facilities, program areas and geographies within the health authority – something no other existing system in the country does, it said.
Police search for indecent acts suspects Nanaimo Mounties are searching for suspects behind three indecent exposure incidents that have occurred since last week. The incidents occurred at the Bastion Street parkade, B u s h S t re e t a n d Wall Street near the Nanaimo Curling Club and involved a man with his pants down, masturbating. The suspect described as a Caucasian man, 18-24 years old, 5-feet-7 to 6-feet tall, with a slim build and strawberry blonde hair. Please call the Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345.
Currently medical notes can exist in more than one place and health-care departments can be challenged to access patient history. The new program will eventually become a one-stop bank of patient information with the potential to chronicle a person’s medical journey from birth until death and accessible to practitioners whether a person is at Dufferin Place or walking into the emergency department at Victoria General Hospital. While health professionals acknowledge challenges ranging from privacy concerns to the adjustment of staff to the new program, they say there will be lots of benefits for patients. With health professionals all able to see
patient information, they will know, for example, whether a pregnant mother is giving birth to her first child and doctors, nurses and occupational therapists can make good judgments on what patients are there for and what they’ve had previously, according to Suzanne Fox, who will help roll out the new system in Nanaimo as Island Health’s new executive director for the central Island and west coast. The new system means health-care workers won’t need to ask repetitive questions or perform the same tests. Medication barcodes mean patients get the right drug at the right time, leading to fewer medication errors. “Island residents won’t benefit until

probably the fall of 2016 when the whole Island is up [on the new system], but when you’re doing such a big project like this we do know we need to do rolling activations to learn and to see where we need to make changes and enhance the system,” said Fox, who is excited about decreased medication errors and good information sharing between clinicians about patients. The system will
roll out in Nanaimo first and cover the local campus which includes the hospital and Dufferin Place residential care. Doctors’ offices are independent of Island Health and won’t automatically be included in the new system, but the authority says the electronic record will be made available if the clinics choose to adopt it. The idea is to eventually have one record and one plan for each patient, so there will no lon-
ger be some notes at a family doctor’s office and others at the hospital, says Dr. Drew Digney, executive medical director for the Central Island and west coast. “Really what happens is there’s a central repository for your medical records that’s yours and we are all authors of that medical record,” said Digney. “That’s the vision. It’s going to take us a while to get there.” news@nanaimobulletin.com

EDITORIAL
Assisted dying requires study
In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court of Canada has thrown out the Criminal Code provisions that deal with assisting people to commit suicide. It is a stark reversal of the court’s decision, by a 5-4 margin in 1994, to uphold that aspect of Canadian law. This time around, the abrupt change was likely strongly influenced by the chief justice, Beverley McLachlin, who was one of the dissenting judges 21 years ago. The court has given the federal government one year to come up with new laws to deal with the issue. This timetable is clearly far too ambitious. A federal election is planned for October, and if there ever was an issue that requires careful study and much consultation in advance of a law being proposed, this is it. Try doing that in an election year. The judges seem almost ignorant of practical problems caused by their timetable, even as it seems obvious they have been influenced by a shift in public opinion. Most surveys suggest that about 80 per cent of Canadians are in favour of some form of assisted dying or euthanasia for people suffering from terminal illness, although just what they actually favour varies widely. Are they in favour of the Dutch or Belgian approach, where teens and people suffering from depression can be put to death by physicians? Or do they favour the far more measured approach adopted in the state of Oregon, where the patient must request drugs, both verbally and in writing, which can end their lives, and take them themselves – and only after a host of other safeguards. As people’s lives have been lengthened due to medical advances in areas like heart surgery, cancer treatment and organ transplants, many live long enough so that end-of-life issues are even more challenging than they have been. The issue requires careful study and more time.

Nanaimo’s first-ever cardiologist is a good example. Without the local expertise, patients had to go to Victoria for heart health services, like transesophageal echocardiograms. There are also wait times that see patients missing the optimal and maximum times for scans, according to our new cardiologist, who now hopes to establish a stress echocardiograph lab in Nanaimo to reduce wait-lists. We need more local solutions to meet the demands of our population. Island Health is making inroads. We have a new leadership team which will be looking to work with community partners and address local health issues; nephrology and cardiology, and plans to eventually create a coronary care unit and cardiac ward, are on the wish list. With a CCU, Victoria’s department head of cardiology Dr. Manjeet Mann says we could ultimately see more cardiologists. He also anticipates a domino effect with other sub specialties. That’s exciting. Standing in the way, however, is the fact Nanaimo Regional General Hospital has maxed out its power use and needs a new heater-boiler system, which has to be addressed before it can add on. It’s an investment, but if we know by building, specialists will come, then let’s hurry up and pave the way.

out the challenges of implementing such legislation and the costs involved in retrofitting existing buildings to make them wheelchair friendly. In Britain, with way more urban density, and many more heritage buildings, it was still done.
I guess the reason we don’t embrace the idea of disabled access being legislated in Canada is because we seem reluctant to force the ones with the money, the big businesses, the property owners and in fact the governments themselves

Also, as a person who used to live in the U.K. I want to point out that over there, it is the law that each and every building into which a member of the public may enter, be not only wheelchair accessible, but also wheelchair friendly. This goes for everything from a grocery store, to a train station, to an office building and of course a school. I know people are now going to point

Workshop designed to inspire the soul I
NORTH CAROLINA musicians to lead gospel workshop. BY NICHOLAS PESCOD THE NEWS BULLETIN
A
PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
Nanaimo-based performer and music instructor, Tamara Lea organized the Amazing Gospel Experience Workshop, which runs this week.
n organizer of an upcoming three-day musical workshop and concert is hoping to inspire residents of the Harbour City with the heart and soul of gospel music. The Amazing Gospel Experience Workshop takes place from Thursday (Feb. 19) until Saturday and includes a celebration concert on Sunday afternoon at Trinity United Church. According to organizer and Nanaimo music instructor Tamara Lea, the workshop will provide singers of all ages and experiences with the unique opportunity to learn from two respected gospel performers from the United States. “For someone to get this experience they would actually have to travel down south,” Lea said. “There are people in the business who arrange gospel workshops for you
to go down to the south because not a lot of people are going to take the risk to bring somebody up here.” The workshop will be led by North Carolinian musicians Kim Pacheco and Markus Temoney. Pacheco has performed internationally as a jazz and gospel singer while Temoney is the minister of music at the Faith Temple Church of God in Christ in Wilmington, N.C.
“
It is amazing music. Most people can’t listen to it without feeling happy.
Although Pacheco has taught workshops on Vancouver Island before, Lea said it is still rare for gospel singers from the southern United States to come to Vancouver Island. “We don’t have the opportunity on Vancouver Island
to sing in gospel choirs for various reasons,” Lea said. “If you go to Vancouver you might find a couple, but as far as gospel music done traditionally, you’re not going to find it in Nanaimo.” While there are religious elements to gospel music, Lea said that the workshop is not religiously focused and is open to everyone and is intended to inspire. “This workshop is not a religious workshop, but we are singing music that is enlightening and it is spiritual and it can move people and gets people on their feet,” she said. “It is amazing music. Most people can’t listen to it without feeling happy.” The Amazing Gospel Experience Workshop and runs from Feb. 19 until Feb. 22 at Trinity United Church, 6234 Spartan Rd. The workshop costs $150 per person, however for alternative prices can be arranged for those who cannot afford the full cost.

Victor Henne
April 13, 1927 - Feb. 4, 2015 Victor Albert Henne of Parksville, B.C. passed away peacefully at the Nanaimo Palliative Care. He leaves to mourn, his loving wife Lou (Lubi), sons Dale & Wayne, daughters Cheryl (Ralph), Laurie (Kit), & Nancy (Terry); 1 grandson, 4 granddaughters, 3 great-granddaughters, 3 great-grandsons, 1 surviving brother and his wife, 2 surviving sisters, special cousins, many nieces, nephews and friends. With gratitude and many thanks to Dr. R. Carson and Nanaimo Kidney Care Unit, special nurse - Keomee and staff, as well to Oceanside Medical Clinic, the nurses, Homecare workers, and therapist - Penny, for the care of Victor while he was ill. Many thanks to the wonderful, loving care of the nurses and staff of Palliative Care Unit during his last days.
Rest in peace our precious husband, father and grandfather.
Phyllis Mary Olsen December 19, 1931 – February 2, 2015 Peacefully surrounded by her loving family Phyllis passed away on February 2, 2015. Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba December 19, 1931, Phyllis is survived by Don, her husband of 63 years, and her children Kris (Lisa) of Calgary, Glenn (Lynn) of Nanaimo, Karl (Linda) of Calgary and Linda LaCharite (Tim) of Errington. And grandchildren, Brad, Patrick (Raegan), Laura, Sydney, Alana, Kirstin and Marissa plus two great-granddaughters, Harmonie and Callie. Phyllis was a lover of life and music who stayed home to raise her children until they were all off to school. She returned to school herself and became a Teacher’s Aide, a job she thoroughly enjoyed. She had a great sense of humour and loved to have a good laugh. She always saw the best in everyone and was always positive and encouraging. She loved to sing and play piano and sang with the Sweet Adelines women’s choir. In 1978, Phyllis and Don moved to Nanaimo where she worked for Irwin Industries. Upon her retirement, Phyllis continued to spread her good sense of humour and positive energy throughout the community and became a founding member of the local Red Hat Societies’ Red Hot Bloomers, a sisterhood that Phyllis loved and truly enjoyed and that continued to support her throughout her three year stay at Dufferin Place. A heartfelt thanks to Dr. Forrester, Dr. Croome and the staff of the Birch Ward at Dufferin Place. A Celebration of Life will be held on February 20, 2015 at 12:00 pm at the Chapel in First Memorial, 1720 Bowen Rd. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Kidney foundation or a charity of your choice.

Is it important to use natural skin care products?
You may want to think twice about DR. KAREN L. FRASER buying your next bottle of perfume or scented lotion. The terms “fragrance” or “parfum” as read on product labels is a proprietary blend of hundreds or even thousands of ingredients that are exempt from labeling requirements in Canada. Even those products labeled as “scent free”, “unscented” or “fragrance free” may actually use a masking agent to cover up fragrance. Most of the ingredients have not been tested for toxicity, however many are well known irritants and may increase allergy or asthma incidence and severity. Some laboratory testing has shown carcinogenic and neurotoxic effects as well as links to breast cancer, early puberty, infertility and altered genital development. Naturopathic consults are covered by most extended health care plans.

Yes there are. An estate used to be divided on the basis of “consanguinity” and it is now divided in a “parentelic” manner. If you have a spouse and no “descendants”, everything goes to your spouse. If you have no spouse, everything goes to your descendants. If you have a spouse and descendants there is more to tell you than I have space here! If you have no spouse or descendants, everything goes to your parents if they are alive and if not, then to their descendants (your siblings). If you have no siblings, then to your grandparents or if they are not alive, then to their descendants (your aunts/uncles). Then to your great-grandparents or their descendants. Finally, to the government.

Section 178 of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act lists those debts that survive a bankruptcy. These debts include amounts owed for child support. Although the legislation does not specifically refer to the related legal costs, the courts have generally viewed legal costs incurred to obtain the court ordered support to also be included in the amount that survives a bankruptcy. This sometimes requires an arbitrary estimate to determine which portion of the legal costs were incurred to determine the child support and which portion was related to other matters such as custody issues. Recent court cases have provided that the court does have the authority to apportion the costs between support and other issues for purposes of applying Section 178.

One of the common problems chiropractors treat is an acute hip flexor sprain or a “pulled groin muscle”. DR. KAREN MATTERN It may arise as a result of a severe strain, but in many cases it comes on for no apparent reason. It may be gradual or a sudden spasm. The pain is in front of the hip joint and it may be difficult, if not impossible, to lift the leg or get up from sitting. Often, people think of it as simply a muscle or tendon sprain and assume it will go away on its own. It is true that the pain often does resolve in days or weeks. But the underlying imbalance in the spine remains and can cause future episodes of groin pain or low back pain. If you have now or have had a pulled groin muscle, consult your family chiropractor. A current episode can be significantly shortened and future problems prevented. Even if you aren’t experiencing pain at the time, your chiropractor can find and correct the related imbalances and prevent future problems.
How do I tell if my snoring is a sign of a serious health condition?
Snoring is the sound produced by vibration of soft tissue in the upper airway due to restricted air movement. Snoring can be a sign of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) or, at the very least, contribute to sleep deprivation. With OSA, repetitive blockage of the airway occurs resulting in decreased oxygenation of the blood. This disorder can be linked to many significant health conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and depression. The easiest way to tell if snoring is a sign of OSA is to have a sleep test done. Provincial Sleep Group offers a no charge sleep test which you can perform yourself in the comfort of your own home. We also provide effective treatment and support for a variety of Sleep disordered breathing conditions. Contact us if you would like a sleep study and assessment performed or for more information.

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

Optometrist Heart Month
During Heart Month people are being reminded to practice a healthy lifestyle and diet. This promotes good eye health too! DR. PAUL GENEAU Did you know that you can have a stroke in your eye? Its true! Blood vessels in the retina can get blocked or hemorrhage, just like in the brain. This can cause serious vision impairment. Also, a stroke in the brain often causes vision loss When your eyes are examined, your optometrist or ophthalmologist checks the health of the veins and arteries in the retina. When problems are detected it may be a clue to underlying systemic health problems, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes. Regular, routine eye exams help protect the eye health, and may also help in the detection and management of systemic disease. Book an appointment today.

I have an old electrical panel. Should I replace it? BEN MAZZEI If your electrical panel has the old style screw in fuses you should replace it. If you have a Square D XO style electrical panel it should also be replaced as it has been recalled by its manufacturer. If you have water or oxidation damage in your electrical panel it should be inspected and replaced if necessary. Normally, if your panel has circuit breakers and was installed by a licensed electrician or electrical contractor and is properly maintained, it will generally out live the other systems in your home.

Researcher talks sea lions
B.C. Hydro will replace city’s aging power poles over next few months
I
SCIeNTISTS STrUggle to understand reasons for animals’ decline.
The dramatic decline of Steller sea lions in western Alaska has stimulated a wide range of studies as scientists struggle to understand the root causes of these declines in the wild. For almost 20 years, David Rosen has led the University of B.C.’s Marine Mammal Energetics and Nutrition Laboratory in investigations into the declines of Steller sea lions and northern fur seals in Alaska by conducting studies with trained, free swimming captive animals. This unique research has provided insight into the energetics, nutrition, and development in these species, and has provided
valuable contributions to conservation plans for their recovery. Rosen has studied a range of marine mammals for 30 years, and his current research focuses on understanding the reasons for the dramatic population declines in Steller sea lions and northern fur seals in the North Pacific, primarily through studies of trained animals housed at the Vancouver Aquarium. His free public lecture takes place Wednesday (Feb. 18), 7-8 p.m. at Vancouver Island University, Building 356, Room 109. The lecture is open to everyone and there will be a question and answer session. For more information and a complete schedule of upcoming talks in VIU’s weekly Science and Technology Lecture Series, please visit http://web.viu.ca/ simmsw.

B.C. Hydro is advising Nanaimo residents that crews will be replacing power poles in Nanaimo over the next several months. The maintenance program will
see the replacement of more than 12,000 wooden utility poles this year throughout the province. Pole replacements may require Hydro or its contrac-
tors to disconnect power. If maintenance outages need to be scheduled, Hydro or its contractors will let customers know in person, or by mail or phone.

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.

My balance seems better when I wear my hearing aids. Is that possible?
I see the rates are lower than they were even in 2008! I wish I wasn’t already locked in to a 5 year rate! SHARON FAUCHON, What can I do? KRISTA VERHIEL & LISA TATTON You are right, the rates are low and seem to be continuing to drop. Currently our BEST 5 year fixed rate is 2.69%!!! Depending on your current mortgages and what the loan value verses the value of your homes ratio is you might be able to refinance and take advantage of todays low rates. We can tell you in one quick appointment if this is the case or not. One example we did was a mortgage with 1 year left in its term at a fixed rate of 3.89%. This couple refinanced and paid a prepayment penalty of $5019. They reduced their mortgage payments by $405 per month! They did not take out any additional funds but that is also an option. Saving thousands of dollars in interest…..and even after paying the penalty they will be saving upwards of $20,000 if we assume with an educated guess than rates will be higher than they are now in a year when they would come up for renewal if we did nothing. Long story short – Call us to find out if breaking your term early and refinancing is a possibility for you. These rates won’t last forever and NOW is the right time. We look forward to helping you keep your money in your pocket and not the banks!
New research from Washington JEFF CAMPBELL, RHIP University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggests that sound information contributes to maintaining the body’s stability. The study lends support to the idea that improving hearing through hearing aids may help reduce the risk of falls in older people. This research needs to be repeated and expanded to better understand the hearing/ balance relationship but many hearing aid users report better balance when they wear their hearing aids. This is another reason to have a qualified Hearing Care Professional test your hearing and provide you with information about hearing, hearing loss, amplification and communication.

With today’s huge selection of totally natural looking denture teeth, patients can have much to say as to size, mould, colour and arrangement. A photo of the patient smiling can be very helpful if a duplication of the natural teeth is desired. Otherwise, even a magazine photo can help lead the denturist in the right direction. On the third appointment, the teeth will be set up in a wax base and tried in by the patient to examine the appearance. We provide a “Smile Designers” sheet for the patient to check off various items as to what they like or dislike. The wax try-in can even be taken home, if desired, for a closer look or to perhaps show someone else for a second opinion. The dentures are not finished until we get approval from the patient regarding the appearance. Today’s dentures can look totally fabulous and no one need know they are not natural teeth. Get the smile you’ve always wanted!

There sure is. You are absolutely right to be concerned about power washing your vinyl siding. The high pressure water can not only damage the siding, but it can cause moisture issues behind the siding and in the walls of your house. For best results, soft brush cleaning with a vinyl degreaser will provide a long lasting shine and will delay mold and algae from reoccurring.

What pillow is best for a side sleeper? I know the industry is touting that you need a pillow made specifically JOHN ROGERS for your sleeping position and for the most part that’s ridiculous, here’s why. A side sleeper requires a pillow that will fill the entire distance between the outside of your shoulder and the side of your head. Now if I took a sampling of 3 or 4 people I know I’d get 3 or 4 different measurements. Now if I put you onto one of our nice flipable mattresses where your shoulder sinks in the measurement has changed again. So what’s the right pillow? It’s the one that keeps your head straight with your spine on your mattress. Check us out at www.johnsbedrooms.com

T-men take top talent I
WLA SQUAD adds 14 guys at junior draft.
BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN
GREG SAKAKI/ThE NEwS BullETIN
Nanaimo Buccaneers player Jared Fedosoff looks for a shot on goal during Thursday night’s game against the Comox Valley Glacier Kings at the Nanaimo Ice Centre. The two teams meet in the playoffs starting tonight (Feb. 17).
Buccaneers face off in playoffs BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN
The Nanaimo Buccaneers know they can raise their game another level for playoffs. The city’s junior B hockey club starts the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League post-season this Tuesday (Feb. 17) against the Comox Valley Glacier Kings. The Bucs don’t bring as much momentum into playoffs as they’d hoped to bring, as they were shut out 4-0 by the Glacier Kings on Thursday at the Nanaimo Ice Centre before closing out the schedule with a 5-3 road win against the Oceanside Generals. Thursday’s loss to the Yetis determined home-ice advantage in the first round, so coaches weren’t
happy with the game. “Individual efforts weren’t as strong as we wanted,” said Heath Dennison, Bucs assistant coach. “Our key guys weren’t that strong tonight.” Jared Fedosoff, Bucs captain, said the team wanted home-ice advantage, but will learn from the loss. “We know what Comox can do if we come out flat,” he said. When the Bucs are on their game, they think they can match up with the Glacier Kings. The teams finished 2014-15 tied for points and most of the games during the season series were decided by one goal. “If we play well in their zone as far as keeping them hemmed in and not letting them come out as easily, I think we will be very successful,”
Dennison said. “We can score like they can.” He said the Buccaneers players have to want to work hard and want to have success. Fedosoff said the Bucs can’t leave anything out on the ice. “Playoffs is completely different,” he said. “Every time you’re out there, you’ve got to lay the body on the line [and] really stay mentally focused. You can’t go out there every shift and just kind of float. You’ve got to go out there with a purpose.” GAME ON … The best-of-seven series will alternate venues. Tuesday’s Game 1 is a 7 p.m. faceoff at the Comox Valley Sports Centre and Thursday’s Game 2 will be at 7:15 p.m. at the Nanaimo Ice Centre.

Things are looking up for the Nanaimo Timbermen after the team added more than a dozen prospects at WLA Draft. The city’s senior A Western Lacrosse Association team chose Surrey’s Eli McLaughlin with the second-overall selection Wednesday at the Langley Events Centre. Earl Nicholson, Timbermen general manager, said the club went into the draft with a game plan and accomplished what it set out to do. “We thought in the first round that you’ve got to take the best player available when you pick,” Nicholson said. “After that, we have some different needs we need to continue to address.” McLaughlin had 47 goals and 34 assists in 18 B.C. Junior A L a c ro s s e L e a g u e games last season, then scored another 22 points in six games at the Minto Cup with the Coquitlam Adanacs. The 6-foot-1, 175pound left-hander is
currently playing for the Colorado Mammoth of the National Lacrosse League. “He’s showing he can play with men,” Nicholson said. “And he brings all the elements to the game as far as offence. He sees the floor real well, he’ll go inside, he’s got a good outside shot, he’s good in the corners. He’s a real nice player and he’s going to be a star.” Nanaimo’s other first-round pick was used to take goaltender Peter Dubenski. The T-men have had their eyes on the local product for years. “We sure have. We’ve watched him develop,” Nicholson said. “He’s probably the best graduating junior goaltender in the country and we need a tandem to go with Zak [Boychuk].” Nanaimo had four second-round picks; they took tough right-handed for ward Brett Dobray, sound defender Raymond Banister, transition player Mason Pynn and local righthanded sniper Mitch Parker.

GAME ON … VIU’s basketball teams are at home Friday (Feb. 20) and Saturday versus Columbia Bible College and Kwantlen Polytechnic, respectively.
The Nanaimo Clippers lost all three games on a tough weekend road trip. The Clips were beaten by the Penticton Vees 4-2 on Friday, then lost 4-1 to the Vernon Vipers Saturday and 4-1 to the West Kelowna Warriors on Sunday. The Clippers were outshot on all three games of the trip by progressively greater margins. Yanni Kaldis and Nicolas Carrier scored in the game against the Vees, Jake Jackson opened the scoring versus the Vipers and Brett Roulston scored a short-handed marker against the Warriors. Guillaume Decelles started the first two games of the trip and relieved Jonathan Arsenault in the finale. The Clippers play just once this coming weekend as they host the Powell River Kings on Friday (Feb. 20) at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena.
