Mentorship, early years preparation and language are ways some prospective trustees hope to increase graduation rates in the Nanaimo school district. According to the most current numbers for the 2012-13 school year, 72.3 per cent of students graduated from high school in Nanaimo, while 56.2 per cent of aboriginal students graduated. That marked an increase from 201112, when the rates were 71.6 and 49.9 per cent, respectively. Trustee candidate There’s a Natasha Bob said 100 wide variety per cent graduation be ideal, although of supports would any improvement on the current numbers would that could be good. Mentorship be available, would be key, she said. “I think there’s a wide not just for variety of supports that could be available, aboriginal not just for aboriginal students,” said Bob. “I students. think there is a need for support workers in our schools and to me that is very important because for all students, the transition to adulthood is the most challenging and creates a lot of anxiety and a lot of stress and that really limits their potential to succeed.”

Terminal Trench redevelopment faces environmental hurdles BY CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN

The Downtown Nanaimo Business Improvement Association was awarded for the first phase of the Terminal Corridor Revitalization Project, but more environmental hurdles must be cleared before the area will see new development. The Brownie Award, presented by the Canadian Urban Institute Oct.

29, recognizes co-operation between property owners and the association on an environmental assessment of soil contamination under commercial properties conducted in the TerminalNicol corridor that extends from the Esplanade to the Comox Road-Front Street intersection. The province reduced the required environmental assessment, which was completed last year, by allowing the area to be treated as one block,

rather than individual properties. It also awarded a $217,000 matching grant for the assessment, which was initially paid for through DNBIA business levies. “This is the first time in Canada that a group of property owners has tried to get together to take on a common problem,” said Darren Moss, chairman of the association’s planning design and development committee.

Parking strategy behind schedule

NEW mEaSurES expected to roll out in December.

By Tamara Cunningham the News BulletiN

Nob Hill streets have been so clogged with cars, residents are losing parking in front of their own homes, according to the chairwoman of the Neighbours of Nob Hill, who says new resident-exempt restrictions could free up streets. The City of Nanaimo plans to post resident-exempt twohour parking restrictions in three blocks around Nob Hill this December as part of a multi-year, $897,250 parking strategy. City council approved new signage, as well as the first on-street parking rate hike in downtown Nanaimo in 10 years last August, as part of an effort to boost revenue, fill parkades and speed up turnover on busy streets. The measures were set to roll out Oct. 1, but have run into speed bumps thanks to installation challenges, like the reprogramming of meters. The full range of downtown street stalls were charging drivers $1.25 an hour, a 50-cent increase, by the end of October, while new signage is expected to go up this December. As part of its new approach to parking, the city has also begun a one-year pilot program to offer free and evening weekend parking at

the Bastion Street parkade, changed parkade rates, and is looking to install a new $97,000 licence reader program by the end of the year. The technology will bring the city’s total bill for parking changes to more than $159,000 for 2014. The first phase of the parking strategy has its support, including from Jacquie Howardson, chairwoman of the Nob Hill neighbourhood association, who says new two-hour restrictions could free up spaces and benefit park users. Until now, nonresidents have parked on both sides of the streets, limiting access to the local park and residents’ homes, she said. “I think for Nob Hill Park it will be a very positive thing for people to have access,” she said. Downtown Nanaimo Business Improvement Association director Blake McGuffie said the recent on-street rate increases are “overdue” while president John Cooper points out they will encourage patrons to go into parkades for long-term stays, helping to make street stalls available for quick downtown visits. But the duo also point out that action is missing. McGuffie said the city should have a system that allows people to pay when they leave parkades, instead of seeing people pre-determine how long they will be doing business downtown. Cooper said the DNBIA has made recom-

mendations to the city on parking but has yet to see them implemented, including free evenings and weekends in all parkades and surface lots except at the Port of Nanaimo Centre. “The DNBIA supported the increase in fees only with the understanding these changes would also be reflected,” he said, adding they could take the issue from the city’s parking manager to the next level of decision-making. As for Davidson, he says the new parking rate increases have only seen a few complaints. “The reality is that I think people realize that ... we are still quite a bit cheaper than Victoria and other major centers in the province,” he said.

Jazzercise with Elizabeth offers Open House

Elizabeth Stetar, Nanaimo area Jazzercise instructor, will offer a citywide free-for-all Jazzercise Open House at 9:15 AM,Sunday November 16th at Harbour Dance Centre, 139 Bastion St. “This event will allow me to give the public an opportunity to see what Jazzercise is all about and give folks a chance to plug into a fun, effective fitness program” Stetar said. The 60-minute Jazzercise class includes a warm-up, high-energy aerobic routines, muscle-toning and cool-down stretch segment. Jazzercise combines elements of dance, resistance training, Pilates, yoga, kick-boxing and more to create programs for people of every age and fitness level. “Jazzercise is not only for dancers, it’s a program designed for people who enjoy getting a good sweat on while moving their bodies in a comfortable and welcoming group environment. Participants are encouraged to work at their own pace and are offered high and low impact options so they can feel successful every class,” reports Stetar. Elizabeth Stetar has over 20 years professional dance experience and has also spent 7 years in the fitness industry. “I love the Jazzercise program because I can count on it to maintain my physical fitness- safely.

The essence of the program brings individuals together and in turn fosters meaningful relationships and connection to my community. As a mother of two, it’s important for me to be a positive role model to my children and allow them to see me stay connected to who I am and what I believe in. Fitness, friendship, community and simply feeling good,” said Stetar. For more information, contact Elizabeth at esjazzercise@gmail. com or 250-618-8136. - Advertorial

Inbrief RCMP tightens security forces Nanoose votes on water issue The Nanoose Bay electorate will be tasked with voting for a new director and whether to fund improvements to the Nanoose Bay Peninsula Water Service area on Nov. 15. The referendum question for Nanoose (electoral Area E) asks, “Are you in favour of the Regional District of Nanaimo adopting Bylaw No. 1714 to authorize the borrowing of up to $2.6 million to provide the necessary funds to meet the Nanoose Bay Peninsula Water Service Area capital improvement and upgrades requirements up to and including 2019?” According to George Holme, outgoing Area E director, the question centres on whether to spend money to upgrade the lines, pumps and fire hydrants in the Nanoose area. “There’s some old asbestos-cement pipes from years ago and they’ve all got to be replaced,” Holme said. Ed Mayne, Bob Rogers and Gordon Wiebe are vying to fill Holme’s seat on the regional district board.

Trees planted in south end The South End Community Association, with assistance from the City of Nanaimo, began planting 40 boulevard trees on Haliburton Street Saturday, beginning at Needham Street. The purchase of the trees, consisting of ornamental cherry trees, is being paid for through Tree Canada and B.C. Hydro’s Regreening Program.

SoldiEr dEathS prompt change in policy. By Jeff Nagel BlACk PRESS

Last month’s attacks on Canadian soldiers in Ottawa and Montreal have prompted the RCMP to arm officers who appear in public in red serge and to take extra steps to protect auxiliar y constables who volunteer unarmed

in the community. The new requirement for direct supervision is expected to mean more armed regular RCMP officers accompanying unarmed auxiliaries at major public events than did in the past, according to assistant commissioner Dan Malo, the Lower Mainland district commander for the RCMP. “Our reality changed after the events of Ottawa,” Malo said, referring to the killing of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo as

he guarded the National War Memorial on Parliament Hill. Malo predicted the main impact will be on police staffing of major summer festivals. “It’s a shift in our cultural thinking on how we deploy police officers or anybody that is identifiable with law enforcement.” Operational decisions on exactly how those events are staffed will be up to the local commander based on their assessment of potential

threats and other factors. Malo was not able to say whether the changes will increase costs to cities or decrease the number of offices on duty to respond to other calls, but added policing costs will likely rise for some festivals. More than 1,100 auxiliaries assist with policing across B.C. and Malo said it’s appropriate to be more careful than in the past, depending on the circumstances. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Improving grad rates starts early From /1

Bill Robinson, an incumbent trustee, said improving the graduation rate among aboriginal students begins with making them feel welcome. He arranged to get welcome signs in English and Hul’qumi’num, the language of the Snuneymuxw First Nation, and recorded frequently used Hul’qumi’num phrases and will

encourage teachers to use them in classrooms. He said last year, work was done to start a Spuptitul, a Hul’qumi’num language competition, with a few hundred children involved. “It’s just making language and culture more prevalent in the school district and that’s where we’re starting,” Robinson said. In terms of increasing

general student population graduation, he said the ideas would come from the experts, but if elected, he and the board would make sure solutions were found. Robinson said he would like to see graduation rates for students and aboriginal students equal. Nelson Allen, another trustee candidate, said said work must start at the very beginning.

“We have (an estimated) third of our student population, that when they enter the school, are not school ready. So that’s some parental responsibility here and responsibility for us to work with parents on getting children ready to actually start to be ready to enter the school system with some of the fundamentals,” said Allen. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Property owners take advantage of grant offering Four more property owners have received a share of more than $24,000 from the Downtown Nanaimo Business Improvement Asssociation’s Façade Grant Program. Grants were given to St. Paul’s Anglican Church at 100 Chapel St.; Real Estate Webmasters at 223 Commercial St.; ManLee Oriental Food and Gift Market at 385 Terminal Ave.; and James St. Billiards at 77 Victoria Cres. Grants cover up to 15 per cent of project costs to a maximum of $7,500 and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis while the money lasts. The Façade Grant Program was redeveloped from the DNBIA Heritage Façade Grant, which gave more than 20 property owners a total of more than $260,000 to leverage more than $2 million in downtown building improvements. The program was designed to improve downtown’s esthetic appeal and promote economic growth and investment in the downtown core. For more information, please call 250-754-8141.

social worker staff I rEport idENtifiES excessive workload, unfilled positions. By Tom FleTcher Black Press

B.C.’s struggling child protection service will be strengthened by the addition of 200 more social worker and support staff positions over the next two years, Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux says. The announcement came a day after the union representing staff issued a report saying they continue to deal with excessive workload and staff shortages due to high staff turnover, unfilled positions and budget cuts. Cadieux said the additional staff and centralizing of child protection intake screening is a response to the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union report, and previous critical reports by Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond. The BCGEU estimates that 80 per cent of social workers have more than the recommended 20

cases, with nearly half carrying more than 30 and some reporting caseloads of 70 or more. Cadieux said 70 auxiliary employees are being made permanent immediately, mostly in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island, and the target is to bring the total to 200 new positions by the end of 2016. “We’ve heard the concerns of our staff about their workload, about their inability to do all of the things that they feel are necessary,” Cadieux said. NDP children and family critic Doug Donaldson said help is still far away for rural and northern communities where recruiting and retaining staff is most difficult. He said the Smithers ministry office has seen 100 per cent turnover of child protection staff in the last three years. “It’s really good that the government has finally woken up, six years after the child representative said that staffing issues and turnover issues need to be addressed,” he said. A mobile response team is being expanded to help offices with long-standing vacancies cope while new staff is recruited and trained. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Markets open for winter

iSlaNd rootS still looking for permanent facility to call home. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN

Island Roots Farmers’ Market might not have a permanent home indoors, but it has found a place to den up for the winter. The market, which has been operated from Pleasant Valley Hall, at 6100 Doumont Rd., since Oct. 22, is just a couple minutes’ drive from Nanaimo’s major shopping centres. The market, which is open Wednesdays 3-6 p.m., is one place shoppers can pick up locally produced fare, from fresh eggs, Swiss chard, radishes, beets, turnips, kale, onions to raw dark chocolate and spicy sausages. Larry Whaley, co-founder of the Island Roots Market Co-op, said a permanent home the market was hoping to move into needed expensive building code upgrades, which forced the cooperative to abandon plans to move into the location. “There had been a number of renovations over the years

to the facility that were done without building permits and some of them were not up to standard,” Whaley said. “We decided that we would do a one-day-a-week operation, so that we have a winter market and we’ll keep looking for a way to do a permanent fivedays-a-week or seven-days-aweek market.” Whaley said the co-operative’s summer markets have been successful and the winter market has so far proven popular, which has taken some of the pressure off of finding a permanent location for the interim. A year-round market has also opened up in the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 256 hall on E. Wellington Road. The open vendors market, which started in the summer in Maffeo Sutton Park, offers a variety of arts, crafts, new and vintage items and is open every Thursday 5-9 p.m. Part of the market’s sales proceeds and table fees support a new non-profit charity, the Society for the Care of Abused and Rejected Feline Exotics (SCARF). Doug Nelson, owner of Purrfound Cattery and a cat breeder, said abandoned exotic cats will become a growing problem.

Quickfacts

iSlaNd rootS Farmers’ Market operates at Pleasant Valley hall, 6100 Doumont Rd., on wednesday, 3-6 p.m.

“As a responsible breeder, we decided to take on this society to care for the cats,” Nelson said. “There’s several breeders in the Lower Mainland now who are selling the larger cats indiscriminately. [The cats] bond for life when they go out and they’re selling them to 20 year olds. [The cats] live for 22 years. You can imagine what will be happening in the next five years, so we’re trying to nip in the bud and get ahead of it.” The problem of abandoning long-lived cats isn’t just restricted to young people who take on the animals without realizing the commitment they’re entering into, but people of all ages whose lives might change unexpectedly. Nelson said he already has five felines under his care. Some of the cats will make appearances at the markets to help raise awareness and donations. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

The witness description and video surveillance from a nearby business led officers to a home on Jingle Pot Road. They saw another suspect vehicle, a GMC Terrain,

The home has been secured and investigators are waiting for a search warrant to enter and gather evidence. While at the residence, the abducted male arrived on foot. He was transported to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital for his injuries and later released. The second male, who managed to get

away by running from his alleged attackers, has also been identified and was located unharmed. The two victims are 17 and 31 years old. The four people in custody range in age from 20-38, but have not been formally charged. “It is only early in the investigation, however officers believe this incident has a drug connection,” said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman. “When the home in question is searched, more information

EDITORIAL

Votes count, voting matters There will be a lot of choice on the ballot on election day this Saturday (Nov. 15). Before we arrive at the polls that day, though, we’ll have made another choice – do something, or do nothing. We hope that every eligible voter in Nanaimo will make the choice to do something, and go vote. You’re a more informed voter than you think. You’ve seen the signs and you might have heard the robocalls, scanned the headlines and recycled the pamphlets. If you cared, there were Facebook posts, news articles, all-candidates meetings and conversations in coffee shops. Sometimes those dozens of candidates can blend together. But a closer look reveals that there are indeed distinctions, and these men and women are individuals, to be sure, and they will bring their own set of personalities and priorities to council chambers or the boardroom. Still stumped? Don’t be. There are no skill-testing questions at the polling station. You don’t have to vote for nine council members and nine trustees. If only one candidate earned your vote, then you can make just one pencil mark. Your vote matters, and we don’t buy any argument that it doesn’t. Yes, your vote is just one vote among thousands, but in another sense, it’s so much more. It represents rights and freedoms, wants and needs, action and activism, thoughts and feelings, vision and voice. Your vote counts as just one ballot, one tally, but it should feel so much more significant than that, because it’s yours, and not only does it matter to you, it matters to Nanaimo. Voting isn’t mandatory, obviously, but we think of it as a sort of civic duty. Really, very little is asked of those of us who wish to be contributing members of society. Pay taxes. Walk on the sidewalks. Don’t double dip chips. Oh, and please vote. Election day is our chance to ask for more, demand better, effect change and make a difference. It’s our chance to do something.

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.

each other. The World Wildlife Fund and U.S. biologists rushed to media to frame this as a crisis caused by a lack of sea ice. This claim has been demolished by Susan Crockford, an evolutionary biologist who concludes that the haul-outs are a sign of overpopulation in the now-protected walrus herds. In terms of actual reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, there are signs of progress. The United States has made considerable strides, thanks to abundant shale gas that has allowed it to switch from some of its 600-odd coal-fired power plants. Which brings us back to B.C.’s push for natural gas exports. The NDP claims to support this, but has spent hours in the legislature warning of a giveaway of the resource, imagined fracking disasters and LNG tanker explosions. This is the same party that campaigned against the carbon tax in 2009 and hasn’t had a coherent energy policy since. But this isn’t some partisan game. It’s about whether B.C. maintains its gas industry. And so far natural gas is the only thing that has substantially cut carbon emissions. u Tom Fletcher is a columnist and legislative reporter for Black Press.

Education issues often complicated To the Editor,

Re: Get informed, then cast vote, Editorial, Oct. 23. I have been trying, as are many parents and concerned community members, to make sense of the situation we face in our Nanaimo school district. It is difficult to do so without immersing yourself in decades worth of documents. Successive layers of decisions and issues have accumulated into what we experience today. Few of us will have the time or patience to take on that level of research and I do not recommend this approach. However, you can ask questions of those trustee candidates who have stepped up and are asking for our support on Nov. 15. Ask candidates about their history of involvement. Have they attended their

local PAC or DPAC meetings? What roles have they held in schools or their district? Have they asked questions related to district-wide issues? Can they speak to any of the initiatives mentioned in the District Achievement Contract? For the last 18 months I have attended the majority of the school board meetings. Dialogue between trustees has been helpful in understanding how issues are brought forward and decisions made. There is significant diversity in opinions and challenges that are not represented in the minutes which I find very encouraging. Have the new trustee candidates been at the board meetings to gather knowledge and track issues?

Sarah Lee Nanaimo

School district facilities plan has far-reaching impacts To the Editor,

Re: Trustees must advocate for entire district, Letters, Nov. 6. The letter writer commends the current school board for “forging ahead with a governance model that resulted in a sound strategic plan and vision.” Forging ahead is an accurate way to describe the current board’s forward progress. It also fits with the board’s frequent use of railroading analogies. The new governance model also brought us a new 10-year facilities plan, prepared over a few months behind

closed doors. Many try to label those who want to talk about the facilities plan as ‘single-issue.’ This label minimizes the importance of the plan. This version has consequences across the entire district. A plan is necessary to keep the dream of a new Nanaimo District Secondary School alive, but does it necessarily have to be this plan? As the letter writer said, voters should do their research and think carefully prior to voting.

Vote won’t solve dam problems To the Editor,

Re: Views differ on next steps for dams, Nov. 11. I’ve talked to a number of activists regarding the Colliery dams and find it amazing how many think this problem originates with Nanaimo’s municipal government, and that if a certain challenger

is elected he can make the problem go away. The authority requiring action on the dams is not the City of Nanaimo, it is the province of British Columbia. It’s provincial jurisdiction. The province has said that unless the city makes an acceptable proposal, it will act via

statute, forcing the work. I’m all for making the province pay, but that is a separate issue. And the candidate who says the dams look fine? It’s amazing how good a collapsed building looked just before the earthquake.

Voters should consider ballot strategies to increase the chances of their preferred candidates being elected, says letter writer.

Ballot box strategies could make difference To the Editor,

Municipal elections in Canada use the multiple vote plurality process: vote for many with one vote for each seat. This method favours incumbents and usually results in sweeps by organized groups that can pull the highest number of votes, however low their percentage of support. This is what causes voter apathy, it’s not stupidity, it’s despair. In desperation, savvy voters have learned to ‘plump’ their votes by not using most of their votes. They sacrifice votes they might have cast to make sure no other candidate is advantaged who might thus get more votes than the plumpees. I am urging voters to do their homework and fill their ballots with votes for people they know they can respect and trust. Only leave boxes unmarked if you have been incapable of identifying worthy candidates. If your list includes people you either know nothing about or have no reliable recommendation for, you are undermining democracy.

Marjorie Stewart Lantzville

Citizens await park answers To the Editor,

With a new team on city council I hope that an early exercise with them will be to tell us who got taxpayers’ money to buy land at Linley Valley – $9 million of it.

I have been a one-person activist to get these names. I think very firmly that the whole transaction was very, very irregular.

VIU students sponsor refugees

AdeN MUMIN and Abdullahi Mohamud study thanks to World University Service of Canada. By SharI BIShop BoweS

ravelling from a massive refugee camp in Kenya to study at Vancouver Island University signifies a significant step in a long journey of education for two young men. Aden Mumin and Abdullahi Mohamud are settling into their studies at VIU and life in Nanaimo as students sponsored by VIU’s World University Service of Canada local committee. Mumin and Mohamud have risen above the difficulties faced by refugees living in Dadaab’s refugee camps, home to nearly a half million people who have fled war, famine, persecution and hunger in neighbouring countries like Somalia, Ethiopia and Sudan. “In the refugee camps, life is very hard,” says Mumin.

“Education is very limited, to go on to high school for example, 2,000 students will write exams to qualify, but only 500 are selected.” Mumin arrived at Dadaab from Somalia in 1998 as a child, along with seven siblings and his parents, while Mohamud arrived in the refugee camp a year later from Ethiopia, also with a family that includes seven brothers and sisters. The two students are unlikely to complain about a 10-minute walk between classes in the rain at VIU. At Dadaab, they would rise at dawn to run 50 minutes one way to their school, make the trip home for the midday meal, and then make the final trip home at the end of the day. “That is three

hours of traveling on foot and the temperatures are very high,” Mohamud said. Neither of the young men dwell on the experiences they endured to earn top marks while completing high school, and a successful application to the WUSC program. Instead, their eyes brighten and smiles widen as they talk about an opportunity to study at university in Canada, and pursue their dreams – for Mumin, a future career in medicine or engineering; for

Mohamud, a future as an engineer or possibly in accounting. In the long term, they seek to offer what help they can to the people who remain in Dadaab

IMRE EMIL (JIM) SATOR BComm., MSc. in Finance Professor (Honoris Causa) May 26, 1946 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; October 30, 2014 It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Imre Emil (Jim) Sator, born in Budapest, Hungary who passed away peacefully in Nanaimo Regional General Hospital at the age of 68, with his wife of 44 years by his side. Jim came to Canada in 1957 following the Hungarian Revolution. Pre-deceased by his parents Mary and Jim Sator, his uncle Janos Sator, and his godmother Helen Pataki. He is survived by his loving wife Sue and his faithful dog Riley, sister-in-law Sally Dobler (Mick), niece Jennifer Brown (Dave) and their sons Jacob and Nathaniel, cousins Steve Pataki(Sherry) and Marian Jackson (Paul), and goddaughter Kristal Jackson, as well as her brothers Steven (Bessie) and Christopher. He will be deeply missed by family and friends in Canada, Hungary, Thailand and China. A long time resident of Deep Cove in North Vancouver, he recently returned to Nanaimo to enjoy his retirement. Jim was a man of integrity and principle who had a strength of personality drawn from sharpness of intellect and the calmness of his manner. He retired from Douglas College in 2003 as Dean of Commerce and Business Administration. Throughout the 1990â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s he worked extensively in international education in Hungary, Thailand, and China. A private family gathering will be held. Flowers gratefully declined. If so desired, donations can be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association, Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada or the SPCA. Sands ~ Nanaimo (250)753-2032

AA VARSITY team to take on Prince George.

Rivalries building on Island BY GREG SAKAKI

BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

THE NEWS BULLETIN

Playoff football is always unpredictable and this year, there’s a lot of parity across the province, too. It makes post-season prognostications difficult, but fans should safely expect some good, hard-fought football. “When you get into playoffs, it’s real,” said Rob Stevenson, coach of the Barsby Bulldogs AA varsity football team. “You lose, you’re done. Every game’s a trap game for you. You can’t look ahead; you’ve got to take care of the ground under your feet.” Those first steps come this Saturday (Nov. 15) as the Bulldogs kick off the post-season against the Prince George Polars. Barsby expects to be ready. The team is coming off a bye week in which players hit the books and the gym and made sure they could put all their focus into trying to win a football game this weekend. “It’s football life around here, and that’s it,” said Rylie Harris, Bulldogs centre. “We’re coming in strong now and I’m feeling really happy with all the effort that we’re getting from all the guys.” Josh Goldston, defensive tackle, said it’s a “great feel” at practice these days.

The Island Division’s top two teams will vie for positioning all month long. The Nanaimo Clippers host the Alberni Valley Bulldogs on Friday (Nov. 14) for the second of four meetings this month in B.C. Hockey League play. Nanaimo edged Port Alberni 5-4 in overtime last weekend and Clippers coach Mike Vandekamp said the rivalry is building. “There was already quite a bit of animosity in [last week]’s game, so I would expect that that’s only going to continue to grow,” he said. “And that’s what we want. We want to have rivalries with every team in our division.” He will be looking for structured play from his team. In last weekend’s matchup with the Bulldogs, the game became “river hockey” at times, he said. “So that’s probably a big thing, is just trying to dictate the game by being more structured,” Vandekamp said. GAME ON … The Clippers and Bulldogs face off Friday at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena. The Clips are also at home Sunday as they take on the Chilliwack Chiefs in a 2 p.m matinee … Tickets will be available at the door or in advance by visiting www.nanaimoclippers.com or calling 250-751-0593.

Barsby Bulldogs running back Cole Virtanen and his teammates run a play at practice Wednesday morning at the John Barsby Secondary School gymnasium. The ’Dawgs kick off the AA varsity post-season this Saturday (Nov. 15).

“I love the speed, I love the tempo…” he said. “When we hit playoffs, it’s all in.” For Barsby’s coach, the matchup has added meaning because he’s a graduate of Prince George Secondary School. That said, it’s an out-of-division opponent and the Bulldogs will only know so much about the team that will climb off the bus the morning of game day. “We’re just going to have to stick with the

“We’re not the biggest team, we’re probably not the fastest, but we can be the best team, the best group of guys that support one another,” Stevenson said. “Look for some motivated human beings out there.” The Bulldogs are the defending champions, the home team and the favourites to advance, but they’re not looking too far ahead in the playoff brackets. “We’re playing week

Redmen go on road for playoffs The Nanaimo Redmen will try to start a playoff run by slaying the Giants. The city’s Vancouver Mainland Football League midget team takes on the Chilliwack Giants on Saturday (Nov. 15) in the Fraser Valley. The Redmen (5-5) have been much improved in the second half of the sea-

son and are playing their best football at the right time. The offence is executing both the run and the pass, and the hardhitting defence has big-play potential. “We’re about as confident as a team could be going on the road for the playoffs,” said Sean Roden, the team’s coach.

raiders named all-Canadians

THREE V.I. players picked for honour.

The V.I. Raiders were right in the mix this season thanks in part to all-star efforts from their best players. Three Vancouver Island Raiders were selected as Canadian Junior Football League All-Canadians last week – quarterback Liam O’Brien, receiver Marshall Cook and linebacker Dylan Chapdelaine. Only one QB from all of Canadian junior football is an allCanadian each year and this year it was the first-year Raider O’Brien who got the honour. He completed 171 passes for a Canadian-best 2,842 yards and 20 touchdowns and had

V.I. Raiders linebacker Dylan Chapdelaine was selected as a Canadian Junior Football League All-Canadian after his final season of junior.

a completion percentage of 64.5 and an efficiency rating of 113.1.

His favourite target this year was graduating receiver Cook, who led the CJFL

in catches (64) and yards (1,084) and scored nine touchdowns.

Chapdelaine is an all-Canadian for a second straight year. In 2014, he had 42 tackles, two sacks and two interceptions and he was the only B.C. linebacker to be chosen an allCanadian. Also of note, Westshore Rebels defensive back Braeden Swatez, who is from Nanaimo, was an allCanadian this year after leading the country with seven interceptions. Another Nanaimo player to win a national award was Langley Rams linebacker Ethan Schulz, named CJFL Rookie of the Year after recording 23 tackles, four sacks, four fumble recoveries, a touchdown and an interception and making it to the Canadian Bowl game in his freshmen year.

City’s bustling soccer fields a satisfying sight Following a Parks, Recreation and Culture Commission walking tour of facilities at Beban Park last Saturday morning, I wandered over to watch some soccer action on the Gyro Sports Fields. What a fantastic sight. Literally hundreds of young players enthusiastically involved in about a dozen mini games organized all over the large field complex. Youngsters were swarming after the ball, learning basic skills and obviously having great fun. Tents and banners around the fields and parents offering encouragement as they clutched their cups of hot chocolate, added to the festival atmosphere. It has been a period of change for local youth soccer, and it seems that past challenges have largely been overcome. What used to be the Nanaimo and District Youth Soccer Association or the Nanaimo Youth Soccer Club is now the Harbour City Football Club. Club teams from our city compete in a regional league with those from Gabriola, Mid-

making it one of the most popular fall and winter sports. Teams take a Christmas break, and of course weather is always a factor, but basically the season runs through until mid-March. Delivering expert advice to coaches and players during the season is the club’s new technical director Wayne Evans. A former professional player and coach in England, Evans saw action as a member of the Welsh national team. He has now taken charge of the HCFC’s Centre of Excellence, looking to maximize players’ skills by working on the technical, tactical, physical, social and psychological aspects of the sport. Also new to the Harbour City Football Club this season is office administrator Joel Butler. The office is located in the Lions Pavilion at Beban Park and is open Tuesdays through Saturdays. For any information on youth soccer and the HCFC, telephone Joel at 250-729-9400. Whatever your sport, a reminder in closing to play your hardest, play fair, and show good sportsmanship.

Sibling rivalry leads to comedy career

“

Darrin Rose gets laughs as a comedian after his high-tech business failed The News BulleTiN

hen Darrin Rose saw that his friend had a show on national television, he instantly wanted one as

well. “I thought, ‘oh I’ll just get one of those,’” Rose recalled. “I didn’t realize that was hard.” Since that fateful moment, Rose, whose last name is actually Rows, has been pursuing his dream of landing his very own TV show by cracking jokes and making people laugh. On Sunday (Nov. 16) the award-winning comedian will be performing his routine My Dad’s Other Son at the Port Theatre. “I think people really get a lot out of it,” Rose said about his show. “I talk mostly about my sibling rivalry with my brother.” For the last two years, Rose has been a mainstay on CBC’s hit show, Mr. D and the popular Comedy Network show, Match Game. “It’s hard to get the work, but the work itself is easy and fun,” Rose said. “It’s the stress of not working is what makes comedy difficult, actually doing comedy is the best.” Rose was born and raised by his father in Oshawa, Ont., a blue-collar community located around 60 kilometres outside of Toronto. “It was pretty dead emotionally,” Rose said about growing up in an all-male household. “My dad spent his entire life convincing us not to have feelings. Then you grow up and experience the real world and you go, ‘oh man, feelings would really come in handy, especially if I want to interact with a woman in any way.’” Growing up with an older brother, Rose said they were always vying for their father’s attention and that he was often subjected to his brother’s play-

ful abuse. “Older brothers are the meanest people on earth,” Rose said. “My brother was vicious to me growing up. He pushed me out of a moving car once, not when we were kids and didn’t understand the consequences, I was 17 and he was driving.” Rose’s pathway into comedy began after his high-tech com-

pany, which had experienced some success, ultimately failed. “I had a software company and that went belly up and so I took six months off and casted about looking for something to do,” Rose said. That’s when he decided he wanted to become a comedian and have his own television show.

i got into comedy because of a desperate need for attention.

“I got into comedy because of a desperate need for attention,” Rose said. Soon after, Rose landed a fulltime job at Heinz in Toronto and began performing at comedy clubs during his spare time. “I would put on my suit and go and try and sell baby food to mothers of Canada,” he said. “Then I would go out at night and tell jokes in seedy bars in Toronto.” Eventually Rose worked his way through the ranks, landing work as a writer, appearing on TV shows and performing at bigger venues such as Toronto’s Massey Hall and the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. “I started getting more work and I got a job writing on TV and that was really my first time making a living at comedy,” he said. Recently, Rose, who now resides in Los Angeles, received a Canadian Comedy Award for his appearance on Just for Laughs. “I was pretty stoked about that,” Rose said about winning the award. said. “I like that we have comedy awards in Canada because they don’t really have them in America.” While Rose doesn’t have his own show just yet, he is getting closer. There is currently a development deal in the works with CTV, which could ultimately see Rose finally achieve his goal. “It’s all progressing well,” Rose said. Darrin Rose performs at the Port Theatre on Sunday (Nov. 16) at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $28.

High school classmates Danielle Sweeney and Scott Verbeek had crossed paths many times over the years, but it was a common interest that would ultimately merge those paths together. Their soul-pop group Lovecoast plays at the Queen’s with Tower and Trees and the Wild Romantics this Friday (Nov. 14). “Scott and I have known each other for our entire lives,” Sweeney told the News Bulletin. “We both grew up in Squamish and we weren’t actually that close in high school.” After high school Sweeney and Verbeek’s paths would take them to opposite sides of the continent. “He went to Boston to go to Berklee College of Music and then I went to Vancouver Island University,” Sweeney said. “We both graduated at the same time.” Following graduation the two moved back to Squamish. “When we moved back we were both like ‘well we just finished music school, maybe we should play some music together’ and we started doing cover gigs,” Sweeney said. “Then we started writing and it just kind of happen naturally and after a few months we decided we really needed to fill this out.”

The duo decided to recruit bass guitarist Andrew Fraser and drummer Jesse McNeill, both of whom Sweeney had met while she was a music student at Vancouver Island University. “We really needed a rhythm section,” Sweeney said. With the addition of Fraser and McNeill, the selfdescribed “West Coast-indiesoul-pop” band known as Lovecoast was born. “We do pretty broad spectrum of styles,” Sweeney, vocalist for Lovecoast said about the band’s music. “At our shows, we just want to have everyone dancing.” On Friday (Nov. 14) Lovecoast will be playing at the Queen’s as part of their Western Canadian tour. For Sweeney, Fraser and McNeill their stop in the Harbour City will have a bit of a homecoming feel to it. “We’re really excited to get all of our music school friends out and show them what we’ve been up to since we left school,” Sweeney said. “It is almost like a hometown show for us.” Lovecoast’s Western Canadian tour will take them through Victoria, Kelowna

Teachers’ strike inspires book An accomplished author will be in Nanaimo this Sunday as part of a book tour. Laura Michelle Thomas, author and founder of the International Junior Authors Contests and Conferences will be at Chapters this Sunday (Nov. 16) to promote her latest novel The Naked Storyteller, which is described as a cross between social commentary and contemporary romantic comedy. The Naked Stor yteller is set in B.C. during a teachers’ strike. “I didn’t realize how much I had to say about education in B.C. and North America until I slipped into the skin of my protagonist,” Thomas said in a press release. Thomas will be at Chapters on Nov. 16 from noon until 5 p.m.

and Alberta and will see them play with as many as 10 different bands. “I am really excited about that and getting to make new friends,” Sweeney said. Earlier this month Lovecoast released their debut record, a five-song EP titled Chasing Tides. “We’re just super, super stoked to put out something that is super high quality,” Sweeney said. Chasing Tides was recorded at Monarch Studios in Vancouver and was produced by Juno nominated producer Tom Dobrzanski. “He was the best person for the job,” Sweeney said about Dobrzanski. “We couldn’t have asked for anyone better.” In order to fund their debut EP, Sweeney, who also took an arts and entertainment management program at Capilano University in North Van-

couver, and her bandmates launched a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo. “We did a lot of research and looked at all the options and it came down to how do we reach the most people with one source … so we looked at Indiegogo,” Sweeney said. Lovecoast was able to raise $5,000 towards the project and received funding from donors as far away as Ontario, New York and India. “It was just really eye opening for us to see the mountain of support that we had behind us,” Sweeney said. “So it just makes this whole EP that much more special.” Lovecoast performs at the Queen’s on Friday (Nov. 14) at 8 p.m. Tickets are $10 in advance or $12 at the door.

Teen actress nominated for award

SYDNEY HOWLETT a finalist for Joey Award this sunday (Nov. 16) in New westminster. By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN

For Nanaimo teenager, Sydney Howlett it all began when she was a cat. “When I was five my mom put me into the Gingerbread Man,” Howlett told the News Bulletin. “It was a mini-play and I was just a cat in it, but after that I was always interested in acting.” Howlett, 17, has seen her love for acting blossom into a promising career. Recently the Woodlands Secondary School student was nominated for a Joey Award. “I was kind of in shock,” Howlett said. “I still don’t know how to react.” Howlett earned the nomination for her role in the short film Game Companion. She is just one of six Canadian youth actresses to be nominated for a

Joey Award. “I’ve been acting since I was five years old and I have never had anything like this happen before,” Howlett said. “It’s mind blowing.” She will head to New Westminster on Sunday (Nov. 16) for the award ceremony. “I am really excited,” she said. “It’s pretty amazing because I wasn’t expecting it at all.” In addition to Howllet’s nomination, another Nanaimo actress, Jasper Parsley-Kehoe has also received a Joey Award nomination for her role in Mining Moon. The Joey Awards re c o g n i z e y o u n g actors and actresses across the nation for their work within the film industry. The awards were originally called the

Canadian Youth in Film Awards, but were renamed to the Joey Awards in an effort to simplify the name. Following the award ceremony in New Westminster, Howlett will be working on another movie project and finishing school.

“I’ve always loved movies and film because to me ... when you watch a movie I feel as if you’re trying to understand the human condition better,” Howlett said. “To me, being an actress is trying to find that in yourself and try and portray that in a movie.” For more infor mation on the Joey Awards, please visit w w w. j o e y a w a r d s . com. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

MARGOT HOLMES to be honoured at the Canadian Arts and Business Awards in Toronto. By LINDSAy CHUNG BLACK PRESS

Margot Holmes has been surrounded by the arts since she was a child. She’s turned supporting arts and culture into a career. Now, after 16 years as the executive director of the Vancouver Island Symphony, she’s being recognized for her work. On Friday (Nov. 14), Holmes will be honoured by Business for the Arts at the Canadian Arts and Business Awards in Toronto. The group announced last month that Holmes will be receiving the Cultural Champion Award for Arts Leadership. “It’s lovely to be recognized for the work you do and for work you love to do,” Holmes said. “Not being in a big community, it’s a wonderful award to put arts on the map in this midIsland region. That makes me happy. It just shows businesses in this region are supportive of the arts.”

Holmes has been involved in the arts since she was young. “I was exposed to lots of performing arts in my childhood,” she said. As executive director of the Vancouver Island Symphony, Holme works on all the non-artistic aspects, such as coordinating schedules, fundraising and publicity and promotion. “While I’m responsible for these areas, I have a fabulous team who work with me to make it all happen,” she said. “I never have a boring day. They go very fast, and I work with great people. You really couldn’t ask for more when it comes to work.” The Cultural Champ i o n Aw a rd s f o r Arts Leadership is awarded to an individual in the arts who has shown exceptional leadership by engaging the business community in support of arts and culture. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

The Bra Lady Is Coming to Town

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra. Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in. Due to overwhelming response to the previous clinic, Barbara Chapman is coming to NANAIMO, TUES. NOVEMBER 25TH to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. “Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.” Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

You can sign up for Chapman’s bra clinic by calling

1-800-254-3938 by NOVEMBER 23

She doesn’t come into town very often so she advises booking as soon as possible.

An Acura made in Canada, just for Canada by Bob McHugh

The Acra CSX has a high level of performance and luxury, says columnist. An automatic model also comes with steering wheel mounted paddle-shift (manual) controls. Using the newly revised (and more realistic) fuel economy rating method, a CSX (auto) should get 10.9/7.8 L/100 km (city/highway) and 10.0/7.6

Tough tires resist punctures The rush of air escaping a tire is not a sound one hopes to hear deep in the outback. According to a tire industry study, 84 per cent of tire failures incurred off-road are due to sidewall puncture, often rendering tires irreparable. BF Goodrich has done something about this deflating fact. High in Canada’s rugged Rocky Mountains is where

they chose to launch their revised KO line of allterrain tires. Termed KO2, the new boots bring forth many improvements to a tire already considered by many in the off-roading community to be the benchmark. That reputation was earned through a commitment to off-road racing and motorsports. To read more, please visit www.drivewaybc.ca.

The Acura CSX was made in Canada and only sold in Canada. Essentially it’s a sportier and more luxurious Honda Civic as it shares most major parts, other than engines. So, an owner not only gets the renowned reliability, fuel efficiency and functionality of a Civic, but also a higher level of performance and luxury – very nice. First released for the 2006 model year, CSX came with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that can also be found in an Acura RSX, with slightly different tuning. A suspension upgrade also gives CSX better handling than a Civic and it originally came in Touring and Premium (with leather upholstery, Xenon headlights and a power sunroof) trim levels. A new more performance oriented version called the Type-S replaced Premium for the 2007 model year. The standard 2.0-litre engine can produce 155 horsepower, but the 2.0-litre in a Type-S version can churn-out 197 horsepower. The manual transmission in a base CSX is a five-speed, while the Type-S has a six-speed. A five-speed automatic transmission was a popular option,

L/100 km (city/highway) with the manual transmission. Other than leather upholstery, which became standard on every CSX, there were no significant changes for 2008 model year. In 2009, the CSX got

a minor facelift up front and 17-inch wheels, fog lights and USB port for audio players all became standard equipment. The CSX Type-S became the CSX i-Tech (and came with xenon headlights, a navigation system and Bluetooth connectivity) for the 2011 model year, its final year of production. A used CSX doesn’t cost too much more than a top-line Civic. Not only do you get more content and performance, Acura models also come with a longer warranty than Honda. Full coverage is for 4 years or 80,000 km, compared to 3 years/60,000 km from Honda. You won’t find ratings for an Acura CSX in Consumer Reports or the results of any US crash testing. However, it’s safe to assume that it would achieve similar results to the Honda Civic, which does spectacularly well in owner survey ratings and also receives top ratings occupant protection in a collision. Used prices may be on the high side, but if you like the Civic, yet desire a little extra pampering and performance, take a look at a used Acura CSX. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Well-lit off roading is safe off roading. Run a wire from the battery or other positive source to the switch. This is the positive feed to switch the relay on. You will also need to run a ground wire to the switch from the frame or other ground then run a positive feed wire from the battery to the positive in position on the relay. There will be four connectors on the relay, a positive, a negative, a positive out and a positive in from the battery. Read the packaging or directions to determine which is which. Find the ground position on the relay and run a wire from it to a good ground on the chassis of the vehicle. Anywhere on the frame or other metal structure of the vehicle will normally produce a decent ground. Run a section of wire from the switch output to the

connect it to the positive feed on the lights. Ground the lights by attaching the black or ground wire to the frame or other ground on the truck. HID lights have become more popular with offroaders these days. Installation is a little more work. But the principles remain the same. Be sure to follow the instructions provided in the kit. HID stands for High intensity discharge which refers to a new technology that relies on an electrical charge to light the xenon gas contained in a sealed bulb.

People

With the nights getting longer and the dark grey days ahead, anybody venturing out to do a little four wheeling will tell you good off-road lighting is a must. Make sure you only operate them off-road. Good quality wiring of a set of off-road lights is important when installing them on your truck, SUV or 4x4. Simply running a power and ground may work but is not the correct way to wire them. Most off-road lights draw a lot of power when switching them on, and this load should never be applied directly to the switch. Using a relay for the switching duties will save your switch and lights as well as make for a safer installation. Relays are easy to install and some lights come with them, but if not, you can pick up a relay from your local auto parts store. Install a switch in the cab of your truck in a location that is convenient for you to reach, or tap into the high-beam circuit of the headlights to power the relay. Mount the relay inside the cab, under the dash or some other location that’s out of the way and out of the elements.

Motoring in Maui by Alexandra Straub

Locals call it the ‘Maui Merge.’ It’s enough to take a blissfully mellow tourist and perhaps get them as heated as their freshly acquired crimson sunburn. It’s a merge that doesn’t take place within the lines of an ending lane, as one would imagine. Somehow that merge extends onto the shoulder and beyond. Watch out for the cyclist and the stray dog! It’s almost like a game, I’m told, to see how far ahead of all the other cars you can get. As I observe this type of manouevre in action from a Ford Escape rental vehicle, I can’t help but chuckle to myself. I guess some things stay the same no matter what kind of paradise you’re driving in. But it’s not all bad, right? If you’re not stuck in traffic on Maui’s west island’s main highway – which doesn’t always move at a highway-like speed – you’re in luck. You’ll have a warm, tropical breeze flowing through the cabin, unless you’re in need of an air conditioning overdose to counteract the humidity. Hawaii Route 30, also known as the Honoapi’ilani Highway, is a 56-kilometre stretch of road that you end up on when traveling to Lahaina or close to it. A “family” reunion just happened to be taking place on one of Hawaii’s eight islands, which gave me a perfect excuse to beat the fall blah’s and grey skies that this time of year blesses us with. I use family in bunny ears since my BFF since childhood, Nikki, and I have been sister-like since grade three. Her family is my family. And vice versa. And as families do, they try to figure out logistics and transportation; who will be going in whose car when it came to outings. A total of nine of us were vacationing together. Luckily, my other sister, Minti lives on the island and had her Honda Odyssey to shuttle some adults, and her three daughters. Good thing. The Escape is roomy, though not that roomy. But when a chronic noise came from the brakes, the minivan was out of commission. Luckily for only a few hours, chaos could have ensued. Being the car person, I accompanied her to a local shop. Not only did her car get fixed very quickly, it gave insight into the local racing scene. Read more at www.drivewaybc.ca. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Beefs & bouquets BOUQUET To everyone at Advanced Mobility for the great service to a nervous senior who decided to switch to a safer mode of travel. I can run all my own errands safely and get lots of fresh air whenever I like. BEEF To the uninformed and brainwashed for supporting oilsands and fossil fuels. Fossilized thinking will lead to irreversible environmental damage, which is not Canadian. BOUQUET To the Nanaimo Clippers junior A players Edwin Hookensen and Kale Bennett. Thank you for attending our atom B2 practice. You were tremendous role models for our kids and are great ambassadors for our community. BEEF To the person who broke my Canadian flag off my car on Thanksgiving day at the parking lot at Terminal Avenue. BOUQUET To the District of Lantzville regarding Aspengrove School. You are so right in getting rid of the tax exemption. In a time when I wonder how I am going to put food on the table every night, why should I have to subsidize something my child will never be able to benefit from? BEEF Not all handicaps are visible. Some of us suffer daily but don’t want to show it. I feel lucky to be alive and try very hard not to show my struggles. BOUQUET To Canadian Tire in Nanaimo for being the only Nanaimo store with 36-inch by 72-inch and larger Canadian flags. BEEF To the grocery store that charges $1 more for their pumpkins. You might give this money to charity but you donate nothing yourselves. Why should the customers donate and your store get all the credit? BOUQUET To our neighbours on Milton and Kennedy streets who gave generously to our five-year-old, who was collecting food for the food bank while trick or treating. Big bouquet to the fellow who contributed an 11-kilogram bag of brown rice.

BEEF To people along Norton Road and Laguna Way who are too irresponsible and lazy to pick up after their dogs, especially right on the sidewalk.

BOUQUET To Nanaimo for all your support over the years to the Ladies of the Royal Purple No. 16. Unfortunately, we have decided to hand in our charter and will no longer be in existence.

BOUQUET To The Shoe Warehouse at Woodgrove Centre for its excellent service, especially Naomi – I love my boots.

BOUQUET To Barry, Rick and the crew at Cedar Tire for fixing someone else’s mistake and going above and beyond to ensure my car was safe for my family and I to drive.

BEEF To the beef about the postal worker who asked you to rake your leaves. Your yard is their workplace. This postal worker shouldn’t have to risk a possible long-term workplace injury to deliver your mail.

BOUQUET To the honest lady who handed in my purse at Terminal Park Save-On-Foods. You saved a senior’s day.

BOUQUET To the medical office that did not allow a dog in the clinic.

BOUQUET To George, the best neighbour one could ask for. He is highly skilled at everything that needs fixing and no problem seems to be too big, or too small.

BEEF To the restaurant that declared itself ‘no tipping’ with great fanfare, but when you go there – surprise – they expect you to tip.

BOUQUET To Jim at Miller Real Estate/ Remax. Thanks for selling our home and for finding us our beautiful new home. You truly amazed us on moving day, even personally helping the disabled seller move his belongings out in time for possession.

BOUQUET To the vets and staff at Clinic for Cats, especially Dr. Jerome for taking such good care of Laura. BEEF To the energy vampires who suck the life out of people.

BOUQUET To my friends who helped make approximately 300 pies for an apple pie sale fundraiser for John Barsby Secondary School football program to buy new jerseys and protective equipment. BOUQUET To the manager and staff of Michaels store. The lovely fall decorations you donated to a seniors’ home were much appreciated. BOUQUET To the couple on the Duke Point ferry who gave a birthday gift of money to a seven-year-old boy on his way to Disneyland. He spent it wisely. BOUQUET To the marvellous folks at Nanaimo River Hatchery – Diana, Larry, Katie et al. Their informative field trip and patient, ageappropriate delivery was much appreciated by the Grade 1 children from Seaview Elementary School. BOUQUET To Broco Auto Glass for replacing the broken glass in our china cabinet door, at no charge. They made it look like new. BOUQUET To Sandy Cass for her concern and going above and out of her way to help me through this stressful time with my medical lung issues. If God really does have angels on Earth, she certainly must be one. BOUQUET To Matt at Eye Mean Graphics for creating such great promotional materials, in a really timely manner, and every time, too. BOUQUET To our veterans. We offer our remembrance on Nov. 11; we offer our respect every day.

Beefs & Bouquets is a free forum to give thanks or express views on issues and events. The News Bulletin reserves the right to edit or refuse submissions. Length is limited to 40 words and two submissions per person per week. A winner will be selected at random to receive a floral bouquet from Turley’s Florist and Potting Shed. Mail or deliver to the News Bulletin, 777B Poplar St., Nanaimo, V9S 2H7 or e-mail to bulletinboard@nanaimobulletin.com. Fax to 250-753-0788.

BEEF To whomever bags their dog poop and leaves it on the grass, just a short walk from the garbage bin on Northfield Road. Another beef to those who don’t even bag it – the bags are free.

________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________

BOUQUET To Calais Spas and Billiards for being so helpful to the do-it-yourselfer. Every time something small goes wrong with my hot tub, you guys help me get it back up and running.

Name __________________________________________________________________________ Address ________________________________________________________________________ Phone No ______________________________________________________________________

BEEF To people who wait until dark to burn their stinky garbage in their wood stoves. At least in the daytime we can see where the smoke is coming from.

FREE City-Wide Delivery FREE Blister/Bubble Packaging Diabetes Care Centre Injection Pharmacist ON-SITE

BOUQUET To Katrina at ICBC for her cheerful attitude and helping a frustrated old lady get her new driver’s licence after trying several times.

Submit your own Beef or Bouquet

BOUQUET To Westhill Pharmasave on Bowen Road for its excellent service to the community in holding an Ostomy Day conference and for employing the services of ET nurses in their home care department.
