Group pitches multiplex plan for downtown BY CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN
Howard Johnson Hotels is pushing forward a proposal to build a multimillion-dollar hotel and sports arena multiplex that could start construction by the end of 2016. The former Tally Ho Hotel was bought in 1995 to build a conference centre, which was passed up in favour of the site now occupied by the Vancouver Island Conference Centre. This latest proposal was sparked by interest shown by the Western Hockey
League in possibly bringing a second team to the Island, but also because the hotel’s parent company has subsidized the hotel’s operations for the last 18 years. “This is probably our third or fourth version of trying to figure out what to do for redeveloping this site,” said Dan Brady, who manages Howard Johnson Harbourside Hotels in Nanaimo and Victoria. Brady now has to gauge public support for the project, which is being called the Millstone Gateway. Brady and hotel owner
Brian Martin pitched the proposal to Nanaimo Mayor Bill McKay and senior city staff on Friday. Brady said he came away from Friday’s meeting feeling good and that the city appears to support the proposal. The corporation has already purchased surrounding properties for the project, which would include a 5,000-seat arena and six-storey, 166-room hotel on about three hectares along the Millstone River near Comox Road and Terminal Avenue.

Nanaimo school district trustees will spend the summer contemplating an updated facilities plan that recommends four school closures. The board previously requested staff review and provide a revised plan and at the June 10 business committee meeting, John Blain, school superintendent, presented the Updated Facilities Plan 201521. Departure Bay Eco-School is one that could be closed by the end of June 2016. Declining enrolment – the school is seeing capacity of 67 per cent – the aging condition of the facility and the fact the Departure Bay Road site can’t be expanded were among reasons cited. With 54 per cent capacity utilization, North Cedar Intermediate is also one that could be shut down. In addition to concerns about declining enrolment and aging facilities, it is in a similar location as Woodbank Primary School. Rutherford Elementary and Woodlands Secondary, slated for closure in previous facility plans, were also recommended for closure, citing the same enrolment and aging facility issues as Departure Bay and North Cedar. Rutherford is seeing 75 per cent capacity utilization, while Woodlands is
seeing 85 per cent capacity. The closures are only recommendations at this point and no decisions have been made. Trustees have questions and there will be ongoing dialogue with school staff, leading up to a special board meeting scheduled for late August, where a revision will be presented that will hopefully answer questions, according to Steve Rae, school board chairman. Rae said there will be consultation if schools are to be closed. Costs and cost savings will be among the things Rae will take into consideration over the next three months. “Any time you close a school, it’s a big thing,” said Rae. “It affects a lot of people, so we want to make sure we’re doing the right thing and we want to make sure we’re doing what’s best for the whole district ... there’s lots and lots of things to consider when you do something of this magnitude. “We want to be thorough and thoughtful and take our time and make sure that we’re doing the right thing here.” The district has received more than $12 million in funding protection money from the government the past four years and is projecting 2015-16 to be the last year it receives that. The district had been utilizing that money to offset reductions to programs and staff. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Upgrades coming for Northfield crossing
I
CoST ExpECTEd to top $3 million for improvements.
By Karl yu
The News bulleTiN
Safety upgrades will make a world of difference for ambulance patients travelling one of Nanaimo’s most dangerous intersections, according to B.C. Ambulance unit chief Gord Cross. B.C. Transportation Minister Todd Stone announced Thursday the province will cover half the budgeted $3-million cost for improvements to one of the “worst spots on the Island for collisions” at Boundary Avenue, Northfield Road and Highway 19A. The three-way intersection saw 340 collisions between 2007 and 2011, and was named the thirdhighest crash intersection by ICBC in 2013. The roadways are routes to the Inland Island Highway, Nanaimo Regional General Hospital and Woodlands Secondary School and in recent years, Stone said, traffic volume has increased significantly. A section of the intersection over the railway is also bumpy and rough. People have told the minister it feels like “your fillings are going to fall out” and paramedics are concerned movement over the tracks, even at slow speeds, can cause additional stress for patients. It is a bad intersection, said Cross. Up to 20 patients each day shift are transported through the intersection. The slope and quality of pavement

Todd Stone, B.C. minister of transportation and infrastructure, was on hand Thursday to unveil plans for a redesign of the intersection where Northfield and Boundary roads and Island Highway meet, which is one of the highest crash rate intersections in Nanaimo.
leading up to the railroad tracks puts ambulances on an angle and with stiff suspension, causes the vehicles to rock. It can affect people who are on a backboard with a broken hip, or facing backwards and already nauseous, he said. The renewed commitment by the B.C. government will revive upgrades put on hold last year, after the City of Nanaimo discovered the work would cost $900,000 more than the amount the province and municipality originally agreed to split. Improvements, now slated for this fall, will include a smoother road over rail tracks, a new southbound acceleration land from Northfield Road to the highway and a traffic light and westbound left-turn bay on Northfield Road to Boundary Avenue.
“
This is designed to open the intersection up for congestion and access and for us that’s a big deal.
There will also be changes made for pedestrians and cyclists. “This is designed to open the intersection up for congestion and access and for us that’s a big deal,” said Cross, who is “thrilled” work will also involve smoothing out and repaving the slope in
the intersection. “It’s just going to make a world of difference to our patients.” The provincial announcement is part of B.C. on the Move, a 10-year transportation plan, which will see $30-million invested in an intersection improvement program and announcements in Nanaimo and the region that span different transportation modes. Stone anticipates the intersection plan will dramatically reduce conflicts between vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians, prevent injuries and save lives. “There’s a great deal of unanimity across all levels of government and all organizations and the community at large that this is a high-priority location for an investment like this and that’s borne out by the [collision] statistics.” news@nanaimobulletin.com

Nanaimo Mayor Bill McKay said the city wants to see the company gauge public opinion on the project by putting up a website containing a frequently asked questions section. “I think it’s exciting,” McKay said. “I really like the idea that there’s no public funding required. They might ask us to move some sewer lines, but that’s it.” Brady said having a second WHL team on the Island represents cost savings for the league to bring teams across the strait, but the league has not indicated it is ready to locate a team in Nanaimo. Brady also said the existing Howard Johnson is old and needs to be replaced. “We needed to have that meeting on Friday,” Brady said. “Now we’ll start moving forward. Timetable? It would be nice if we were getting going within the next 18 months.”

Police warning public about tax fraudsters Police in Nanaimo are warning the public about fraudsters posing as Canada Revenue Agency agents. The fraud involves either threatening phone calls for non-payment of money owing or an e-mail indicating the agency has made an overpayment on a tax refund. “The fraud is so active our switchboard operators have indicated they have literally received dozens of phone calls from a variety of concerned citizens receiving similar threats or e-mails,” said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman. “Fortunately, most are only simply reporting it and have not fallen prey to the fraud.” In the telephone fraud, a phone call is received from a man identifying himself as Canada Revenue Agency officer Tony Williams, who has managed to obtain the name of a member of the household and says this individual owes $1,200 in federal taxes.

The phone number called had a 613 Ontario area code. In the refund scam, an e-mail is received saying an Interac e-transfer has been received from the agency entitling the victim to a refund. The e-mail directs the victim to open a link and fill out personal information, including social insurance number, date of birth, driver’s license and debit card information.

Hazards include mental health
I
city updatES risk analysis for first responders.
By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN
A common culprit behind threats to this community has a new place in Nanaimo’s hazard rankings. Mental health has landed on the city’s Hazard Risk and Vulnerability Analysis for the first time as a cause of man-made hazards and an issue grappled with by first responders, bylaw officers and social planning. The city isn’t aware of any other community in B.C. or Canada that’s included mental health in a hazard assessment, but with 1,300 mental health-related calls to police each year and ties to bomb threats, arson and suicides, local experts wanted to bring the issue to the forefront and look at what can be done better. The $10,000 review, required under the B.C. Emergency Act, brings organizations, first responders and industry together to look at hazards with the highest potential to affect the community, from hazardous material spills to earthquakes and fire.
New in the analysis since it was last done a decade ago is mine shaft failure, drought and the addition of mental health as a draw on municipal emergency resources and “causal factor” for a lot of man-made hazards. “It’s a new initiative,” said Toby Seward, city director of social and protective services, about adding mental health into the assessment. “We’ve got to say what’s using our resources in our community and most importantly how can we assist people in need.” Mental health is estimated to make up 25 per cent of protective services calls. Last year, it was the primary reason for 1,300 calls to the Nanaimo RCMP but it’s estimated the issues police deal with where mental health is a factor is double that number. It’s an issue that’s increasing, takes up “significant” man hours and resources, and can potentially affect hazardous or crisis incidents, according to Nanaimo RCMP Supt. Mark Fisher, who says while good things are being done in Nanaimo, seeing it through the causal factor lens brings the situation to the table as a discussion and awareness point around what leads to issues in the community. Karen Lindsay, the city’s
Supt. MaRK FiSHER
emergency program manager, said it’s on the radar to say there’s more support mechanisms needed. “We can’t change it,” she said. “But what we can maybe do is have better ways of dealing with it and managing it.” The next phase is to prioritize hazards and decide how to allocate resources toward mitigating their affects on the community. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Lantzville fire chief delays retirement By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN
Lantzville’s fire chief will postpone retirement plans as the community heads into a byelection. Long-time volunteer fire chief Tom Whipps has agreed to remain at his post another three months while the community hires new politicians and steps are taken to fill his position. He planned to retire as chief this June. The move comes just a month after council received the results of a fire department governance review, which recommends the district transition from a volunteer chief to a paid part-time position. The change would bump the job’s annual budget up from about $18,000 to $55,000. While council has called for a staff report on the process, job description and financial resources for a part-time chief, it has not moved ahead
DENIM
with recruitment. According to interim chief administrative officer Jim Dias, the problem is wages that would have been allocated in the financial plan for a paid part-time fire chief are not there and council cannot incur a financial liability under the province’s directive. Four councillors have resigned, and the B.C. government has allowed a trio to continue civic business with limitations that include no strategic direction or new decisions with financial or legal liabilities for the district. A byelection happens this August. Whipps opted to stay on for continuity. “There was little point in bailing on a short term and the fact is, nobody foresaw four councillors quitting and the whole process coming to a halt,” he said. Mayor Colin Haime did not respond to requests for an interview. news@nanaimobulletin.com

CANADIAN COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER AWARD 2015
EDITORIAL
Senate waste is excessive
The auditor-general’s report into spending in Canada’s Senate is disturbing reading. There appears to be an ongoing air of indifference to taxpayers and accountable spending. No less than 30 senators were cited for improper expenditures. While some are taking issue with the auditor-general’s findings, the standards he believes should govern spending are pretty basic. Auditor-general Michael Ferguson stated that senators should not be billing for personal trips. They should not be charging for taxis, meals and gifts which have nothing to do with official business, or billing taxpayers for non-Senate business. They should be keeping detailed and accurate records of all their spending, personal and Senate-related. Any claims for reimbursement should be submitted promptly and posted online so that the taxpayers who ultimately pay the bills can see how their dollars are used. Senators should not have the last word on what is considered acceptable spending, or action following investigation of their spending. Taxpayers expect that those doing public business, whether in Ottawa, Victoria or elsewhere, are as careful with their money as individuals are in day-to-day activities. The reckless approach to using taxpayers’ dollars by a significant number of senators, and the possibility that criminal charges may be laid against some of those who have been audited, has caused a shift in public opinion. Many people are now backing the NDP pledge to eliminate the Senate. There is certainly a better case for doing so than ever before. The Supreme Court of Canada has basically shut the door on Senate reform, given that it requires unanimity from all provinces. Whether we want to discuss reform or outright abolition, there is an overwhelming appetite for change in some form. Surely, if enough Canadians demand change, it can happen.

The last municipal election saw First Nations candidates voted into office. Bill Yoachim, former Snuneymuxw band councillor, is now a member of Nanaimo city council and a Regional District of Nanaimo director, and Natasha Bob, Nanoose band councillor, added another hat, being elected to sit on the Nanaimo school board as a trustee. When it comes to aboriginal youth moving past the residential school legacy, Chris Beaton, executive director of the Nanaimo Aboriginal Centre, said there are more role models for aboriginal youth to look up to. Children are seeing family members being successful in terms of education and working more in mainstream society, and that is giving them inspiration. Knowledge about residential school history and being able to talk about it is helpful as well, Beaton said. But before Nanaimoites start patting themselves on the back, there is still a ways to go. The commission report has 94 recommendations and how they are enacted remains to be seen. Still, it appears as if Nanaimo is taking steps to move past the ugly history of residential schools, and that is a start. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Water restrictions could be more fair
Councillors’ resignations not a ‘kamikaze’ mission Re: Mayor causing disharmony, Letters, June 4. Various theories now exist to explain the resignation of four councillors and two management staff in Lantzville. The latest, expressed by a resident at a council meeting last month, is that those who resigned were on a deliberate six-month kamikaze mission to undermine, paralyze and bring down the council. There was no evidence produced to support this theory so I would like to propose my own. Mayor Colin Haime’s re-election seems to have immediately heightened partisan divisions to an intolerable level LETTERS poLicy: leading to the curLetters should be rent resignations. no longer than 250 Now, this is only a words and will be theory, although edited. its legitimacy is MaiL: 777 Poplar supported by St., Nanaimo, B.C. recorded stateV9S 2H7 ments and attendance at many E-MaiL: editor@ meetings. nanaimobulletin.com There is no evidence written or observed that the four resignations by elected, responsible professional adults, all of whom had previously served at least one full three-year term, were deliberate. Mayor Haime’s statements that the four, consisting of a majority, could have directed council decisions their way misstates the problem. Votes do not necessarily guarantee civility or mutual respect and this appears to be the crux of the problem. Lantzville wants to solve its problems. We want to stop coming up with theories and learn the truth. If we are to pay $20,000 for a mediator we want to know where the problems are so we don’t repeat them. Any mediator needs to get specific exit statements from those councillors and management who resigned as well as those who stay from this council and the previous one.

Re: Drought pushes water conservation, June 11. As a home owner I feel discriminated against, with outside container plants that need watering three times a week, I find the Level 2 restrictions punishing to homeowners while condos, apartments and senior facilities can flush all the good fresh water down the drains at will. Too bad the human waste disposal subject is too delicate to bring up. Ma Murray, publisher and editor of the Lillooet newspaper used to say before Dustin Hoffman in Meet the Fokkers, “If it’s brown, flush it down; if it’s yellow, let it mellow.” Because toilets consume most of the fresh water, consideration should have been given to what is taking the most water. Each flower planter only takes a litre of water to keep it alive. Depending on the age of your toilet you are using a lot of water. Nanaimo is a green city and sadly by September so many young boulevard trees, shrubs and plants will be dead that the nurseries, if they have kept

hen Sherry McCarthy addressed a large crowd at Vancouver Island University late last week, she was gripped with emotion. “I really felt overwhelmed with the community support,” McCarthy told the News Bulletin. “I did not expect that many people.” For the last year, McCarthy has been the driving force behind a unique initiative called the VIU Totem Pole Project. When completed, the project will see three totem poles representing the Coast Salish, Nuu-chah-nulth and Kwakwaka’wakw Territories erected in front of the school’s Shq’apthut building. McCarthy, who also happens to be the president of VIU’s student union, created the project as a way to bring people from all walks of life together. I felt really “I was hoping that we overwhelmed with could bring the community aboriginal people and support. non-aboriginal people together to have a learning experience,” McCarthy said. “I just recognized that the gathering place needed to be indigenized not just on the inside but on the outside as well.” This past Thursday, the university unveiled the first two totem poles at an official ceremony, where McCarthy gave an emotional speech. “This is a momentous occasion for VIU,” McCarthy said at the ceremony. “These poles demonstrate our commitment to the path to reconciliation.” The totem poles, which represent the major First Nations language groups on Vancouver Island, unveiled during Thursday’s ceremony were ones representing the Coast Salish and Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations. “A big part of this process has been honouring traditions and cultures of First Nations people of this area,” McCarthy said at the ceremony. “Throughout the past year we have ensured that the protocols have been followed and we have had the opportunity to conduct ceremonies that haven’t been performed in years.”

Project aims to cause curiosity From /11
McCarthy, who is part of the Nuuchah-nulth First Nation, hopes the poles can be a conversation starter for passersby. “I hope they ask questions about First Nations,” McCarthy said. The totem pole representing Coast Salish was carved by Snuneymuxw’s Noel Brown while the Nuu-chah-nulth pole was carved by Qwaya Sam of the Ahousaht First Nation. “It was an honour and a pleasure to be chosen to do it,” Brown said. According to McCarthy, the carvers were selected through a process determined by the City of Nanaimo’s Arts and Heritage Committee. Brown has been an artist and carver in Nanaimo for years. His grandfather, great grandfather and his uncles were all carvers. “They were better than me,” Brown said. “Probably better than I will ever be.” The trees used to make the poles were donated by Timberwest, Island Timberlands and Western Forest Products. During the project, Brown worked with VIU students. “It was fun,” Brown said. “They came and watched and some of them carved and even a few of them said they wanted to become carvers, so that made it really enjoyable.” McCarthy says the project turned out better than expected. “I am speechless,” she said. “I don’t know if there are any words to explain how amazing the end results are.” The unveiling of the third pole has yet be announced by Vancouver Island University. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Nanaimo bassist Berklee bound

TIANA DICK earns music scholarship.
By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN
A couple months ago, Tiana Dick didn’t think she would ever attend one of North America’s most prestigious music schools. At the time, the Wellington Secondary School senior jazz student was considering other post-secondary institutions, such as Montreal’s McGill University, but not the internationally renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston. But, Berklee is exactly where the bassist will be heading this fall. “I still haven’t really grasped reality right
now,” Dick said. Dick, who plays upright bass and sings, is the oldest member of the DickOlynyk Trio, which includes her younger brother Kenton and Ethan Olynyk. “I’ve always felt like the weak link of the trio because I did start playing late ... I’ve only been playing bass for about four years.” On Friday (June 19), the Dick-Olynyk Trio will be holding a fundraising concert at the Buzz Coffee House. The fundraiser is to help send the Dicks and Olynyk to Berklee. Although Dick will be attending full-time in the fall, Kenton and Olynyk will be attending the school’s summer jazz workshop. The Dick-Olynyk Trio was formed a couple of years ago
and has been garnering all kinds of awards and recognition under Wellington band director Carmella Luvisotto. “Carmella has really directed us especially because we had no idea what to start out with in terms of material and she knew our level right away,” Dick said. “She gave us hard stuff and we managed to pull through in festivals because of those charts.” It was at one of those festivals where Dick caught the eye of recruiters for Berklee. During the festival, she was asked by a recruiter why she hadn’t applied. “I thought ‘there is no way I am good enough for Berklee,’” Dick said. That’s when Dick was asked to audition on the spot. “I only had 10 min-
utes to decide what I wanted to do for my audition,” Dick said “They auditioned me in air training theory and everything they would have normally done at a Berklee audition.” Despite the short time frame, Dick earned herself a $30,000 scholarship to the Boston music school. “I think a lot of people really desire what I have right now and the opportunities that I have, but it still hasn’t really clicked.” With Dick leaving in the fall, the future of trio is unclear. “I don’t want to stop playing with my brother and Ethan,” Dick said. “I would really love to stick with them. I don’t know if we will go separate ways or not.” Dick believes that even if the trio splits

up, it will eventually reunite. “I think further down the road we will end up playing together,” she said. Dick, who played violin before switching to bass, credits Luvisotto and the Wellington jazz program.
“Throughout the four, five years I’ve been here I have learned so much,” Dick said. “It is crazy.” The Dick-Olynyk Trio perform Friday at 7 p.m. For more information, visit www.bit.ly/1IDUAQR. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Andra Thakur, of Nanaimo Sewing School, was recognized for his international charity work by Pipiol Angels, an organization based in Florida.
Second-hand sewing machines are donated for these international projects. The machines are serviced, then shipped to a school base. Besides sewing, students are offered some basic training in pattern design, sewing machine maintenance and marketing skills. At the time of
graduation, students are given the sewing machines to help provide a level of sustainability toward earning a livelihood. The Nanaimo Sewing School has received invitation for two more sewing schools: one in Santa Cruz, Trinidad, and the other in Dhera Dhun, India.

Speed up Your PC! Upgrade to a Solid-State Drive
Solid-State Drives (SSDs) are a modern replacement for conventional hard disk drives. SSDs represent a giant leap in storage performance. With no moving parts, these new drives bring a high level of performance and reliability to PC storage at a fraction of the cost of the previous generation of SSD products. The easiest and most economical way to breathe new life into an existing laptop or desktop PC is to upgrade to an SSD. Today, most PC performance woes are the result of slow read and write speeds of the hard disk drive rather than a lack of CPU or RAM performance. Thus, replacing your hard disk drive with an SSD can speed up your PC by enhancing boot-up speed, application loading, and multi-tasking performance.

after winning the gold medal in the provincial competition at the end of April. Peters, who grew
up on her family’s working farm in Grindrod, near Salmon Arm, prepared a trio of chocolate desserts that would appeal to the most discerning chocophile, with its raspberry green tea semifreddo on a white chocolate brittle; a milk chocolate ganache between almond orange Florentine cookies; and a dark chocolate orange brandy mousse with black pepper. Peters will head to Mission Hill Estate Winery in Kelowna for a co-op work experience over the summer, then return to complete the culinary program in February 2016.
Fishing free for Father’s Day Father’s Day weekend is about spending time with Dad. What better way to have fun in the outdoors than freshwater fishing as a family at Westwood Lake? Hosted by the Family Fishing Society of B.C. and volunteer-led community groups, more than 50 family fishing weekend events across the province will feature hands-on help for beginners and celebrate the tradition of recreational fishing in B.C. At Westwood Lake on Sunday (June 21), loaner rods, reels and tackle will be provided for those who do not have their own gear. The Family Fishing Society estimates that 25,000 British Columbians participate in family fishing weekend each year. “Family fishing weekend is designed to be as accessible
as possible not only so people are able to enjoy the sport with friends and family but also to provide opportunities to learn about the fish, their environment and the importance of conservation,” says Brian Springinotic, CEO, Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation. “It reminds people that with enjoyment of the activity comes the need for responsible use, sustainable use, and stewardship of the resource to ensure many future generations will be enjoying fishing in our province.” A list of participating communities, along with step-bystep fishing instructions and regulations can be found at www. bcfamilyfishing.com. Freshwater and tidal fishing regulations, including daily catch quotas, still apply.

School is almost at the end, do you have any tips on how to transition my kids from school to summer?
Yes! Here are five tips! AMBER SCOTCHBURN 1. Keep Routines: Choose a routine you are willing BSW, B.Ed to bend on, and keep the others fairly close to the school year. 2. Create a Summer To-Do List: Have each family member write down 5-8 activities they want to do over the summer. 3. Summer Reading: Head to the library and sign up for the their free summer reading program. Start checking out books by asking the librarian for help, ask your child what they like, or check in with their teacher for recommendations. 4. Stay Connected with School Friends: Be sure to swap information with the parents of your child’s school friends before the end of the year. 5. Keep Learning: Taking two months off from learning makes it difficult to step back into learning mode come September. Look for our next post where we will give you more tips on keeping up with summer learning! We will passionately and confidently match your child with one of our amazing tutors. And at Tutoring... With A Twist, we go above and beyond the academic basics to teach your child how they learn. Please send us your burning educational questions to: info@tutoringwithatwist.ca

I have guardianship of my daughter. Her father is on her birth certificate and she has his last name, but he has never been involved in her life, LAURA ALLEN & despite paying regular child support. KARA DUNCAN I want my daughter to have my last name. Can I change it without his consent? In B.C., you must apply for a legal name change under the Name Act through the Vital Statistics Agency. You can fill out an application online for $137. You will need your daughter’s original birth certificate. Because her father appears on the birth certificate, you’ll need his consent, or you’ll have to request a waiver of his consent. To do this, you must provide the following information: 1. A copy of the court order, showing you have sole custody or guardianship of your daughter; 2. Her father’s address and any other contact information you have for him; 3. Whether you receive child support and are registered with FMEP; 4. All efforts you have made to obtain her father’s consent, including contact with his relatives, email contact, etc. 5. If your daughter is 12 or older, she must write a letter stating why she would like a change of name.

I suffer from insomnia. What can I do to get a better sleep? Good quality sleep is so important for our mental and physical health. Here are some tips to get a DR. BRANDI HONAIZER restful night’s sleep: • Avoid screen time at least 1-2 hours before bed – eg. cell phones, TV, computers, ipads. Anything with blue light will decrease your melatonin levels. • Create a calming bedtime routine: an Epsom salt bath, reading, stretching, yoga, meditation. Practice stress management and relaxation skills such as deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation. • Keep your sleep environment dark and quiet – heavy window covers, avoid bright LED alarm clocks, keep all electronics out of the bedroom, try a sleep mask and ear plugs if necessary. • Try to go to bed only when drowsy. If you are unable to fall asleep after 30 mins, get up! Leave your bedroom and engage in a quiet activity elsewhere. Return to bed when you are tired. • Avoid food and fluids 3 hrs before bedtime. • Herbs and supplements: there are many options available depending on the underlying cause of the insomnia. Most naturopathic treatments are covered by extended medical plans.

My doctor has told me I have disc degeneration due to old age. Is there anything I can do to relieve my pain? Disc degeneration is not an unavoidable part of DR. KAREN MATTERN aging. The disc receives its nutrition from surrounding fluids and when the vertebrae are not moving properly, the disc can no longer expand and contract, becomes brittle and inelastic and stimulates the production of new bone in the form of protrusions from the vertebrae, or bony spurs. This is what is evident on x-ray, along with decrease in the disc space and new bone formation at the posterior spinal joints. Even when degeneration is present, however, it is frequently not the cause of pain. The pain is often the result of improper function of the spinal joints which can usually be relieved by correcting the joint movement. In addition, such a correction can prevent further degeneration. A degenerating disc is not a contraindiction for chiropractic care. In most cases, restoration of movement to the spinal joints can bring relief of back pain and slow down further deterioration. If you have any questions regarding spinal care in general please email this office at drkarin@shaw.ca or log in to http://drkarinmattern.shawwebspace.ca/

Can fresh nutritious greens be incorporated in a dessert?
Be UV Wise Protect Your Eyes
Although your account may be “frozen”, the bank will still allow the representative of your estate to present bills to the bank for payment and the bank will issue bank drafts to your representative to allow them to pay those bills or the bank may in fact pay those bills directly. Notary Public

Perhaps you are thinking, what is the difference, SUE BRIEN aren’t they the same thing? Simply put the answer is an emphatic “No!” Our bodies have 3 sources of fuel: carbohydrates (sugars), fat and lean mass. Chronologically our body will always burn the easiest form of fuel first, sugars! If we are feeding our body too many carbohydrates, no matter whether it is sugary processed foods or fruit, it doesn’t stand a chance at burning the other fuel sources. The goal of most dieters of course, is to lose their body fat stores, not their lean mass which includes muscle. Yet that is often what happens on a low calorie diet. What is the missing link? High biological protein! In order to support fat loss and give your body the protein it needs to sustain your daily activity while releasing your fat stores, it needs a high quality source of protein as a staple. Of course there is more to it than that, you need a plan, one that truly works and that is sustainable! Don’t be content with just losing weight that will quickly come back, lose the fat and maintain your healthy weight for good! Your questions are always welcome.

Experts’ Advice
Even after you think you’ve let go of the past the past is still a vital part of who you are. Our history and learnings are from the past and whenever we can its helpful to use this as a way RON E. THOMPSON to make better choices in our life. At some point in life things may have gone wrong, things happened that shouldn’t have; bad things were said, negative things happened, and we were hurt. These painful memories are all we focus on as we relive them over and over again in our minds every day. And this results in feelings of depression, anxiety and fear. By letting go of the past it doesn’t mean erasing it or forgetting it. The events won’t change and the people involved won’t change either. But by letting go you’re choosing to regain control of your life, because you’re choosing to release all the emotions associated with these events and to move on into a better place in your life. Hypnotherapy helps you release past emotions and focus on the things that make you happy. We help to let go of the blocks so you can heal and feel the freedom. Is today the day you let go of the past?

My new outdoor patio set that had nice fluffy cushions on it when we bought it are already flat JOHN ROGERS and dead, anything I can do? I’ve been down this road myself. Usually these cushions just have polyester or something similar in them not foam that while it drains away water it doesn’t have much life and packs quickly. If you’re able to open the cushion up by way of a zipper or Velcro we can put foam in (which you’ll have to keep dry) or we have special reticulated foam (very similar to those green scrubbies we use in the kitchen) that keeps its shape well and allows water to flow through it. If there’s no opening you could unstitch some of the seam to put in new fill. Check us out at www.johnsbedrooms.com

DR. CHRIS One of the primary stabilizing muscles of the foot is the Tibialis Posterior. When this ANDERSON muscle is working properly; it locks the foot, supports the arch and assists you in walking. Sometimes the tendon of this muscle becomes damaged and then the arch will progressively collapse, giving you a “flat foot”. Often the progression of this problem is painless and can go unnoticed until the foot is quite deformed and walking is difficult. This condition is more common in women over the age of 50, but can occur in anyone. Being overweight, having Diabetes, and a history of previous surgery or Cortisone injections may also contribute to this condition. Once the condition develops it is common to have pain in various other parts of the foot, have difficulty with walking and standing on your toes. A specialized type of custom foot orthotic, worn in your shoe, can be very helpful in this condition and limit further arch collapse. Please call us if you have questions about this or any other painful foot conditions limiting your mobility.

I have difficulty hearing my television even with my hearing aids. I turn the volume up but it doesn’t help. What can I do?
I see ads for mortgages everywhere! What do I trust and what is the most important thing about a mortgage? SHARON FAUCHON,
A good signal to noise ratio is important for hearing impaired television viewers. Usually the sound from TV speakers must travel through the room to reach your hearing aid microphones but if the sound is brought closer, listening is made easier. If you have a wireless TV system, TV sound can be delivered directly through your hearing aids or to headphones. The distance factor is eliminated and the signal to noise ratio improved significantly. Many hearing aids are Bluetooth enabled and Bluetooth TV systems are compatible with many television models. In addition, Closed Captioning can be selected in your TV menu with your TV remote control. Many programmes have added this feature for severely hearing impaired viewers. Don’t assume that your hearing problems are beyond solution - call me today for a complimentary evaluation.

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

All assets to which an individual may have an interest must be disclosed to the trustee in a bankruptcy. This even includes assets which may be exempt from seizure under the Court Order Enforcement Act, such as household goods, tools of the trade etc. With respect to jewellery, this type of asset is not exempt in a bankruptcy and must therefore be realized on by the trustee. In most cases the trustee would likely be willing to accept payments from the bankrupt, or possibly a family member, for the estimated value of the jewellery instead of being required to actually sell the items. A pawn shop or liquidation estimate of the jewellery can normally be used to determine a realizable value. A transfer of the jewellery to a family member, for purposes of keeping it out of the bankruptcy, could be reversed by the trustee and may also delay or prevent the bankrupt from receiving an absolute order of discharge from bankruptcy.

They come from about 12 countries – all with the same desire to love kids and provide the greatest week of a child’s life.” “I think the real reason we are filling so quickly is that campers feel loved and accepted here...and they love all that is part of a week at Qwanoes.” In our plugged-in, fast-paced world...camp provides an ideal opportunity for kids to experience ad-
venture outside and to connect with others from all kinds of backgrounds. Camp is a place filled with friendship and discovery. Confidence is gained and new skills learned. “At camp kids can try things that just don’t happen in everyday life,” says Bayley. “And it’s all in a safe place. At Qwanoes kids can be kids, kids are valued and accepted, and fun is a big part of each day.” Music is also a huge part of a day at Qwanoes. This year Qwanoes is celebrating 20 years of ‘Q-Town’ music. Russ Smith, their Music and Media Coordinator, has written and recorded
over 125 songs and this music has become part of the life and memories of camp. “Campers and staff love Q-Town – it’s such a highlight of each day. Picture about 600 campers and staff doing the actions to ‘I’m So Happy’ all together and with high energy. It’s very special.” Since 1966 kids have been experiencing these kind of adventures and a whole lot more at Qwanoes. “Whether it’s paddle surfing, mounting boarding, kayaking or skateboarding... there’s something for everyone and it all happens in a spectacular west-coast oceanfront setting.”
Qwanoes is a Christian camp, and an ideal place for fun-filled, lifechanging adventure. All are welcome and there still is some space available for this summer. Check out their summer 2015 video at www.qwanoes.ca/ summer/media. For more information; www.qwanoes.ca)

Safety will make you a happy camper Ah, nature. Besides the mosquitoes, nothing says summer like a getaway to the great outdoors. As you wind down from the stress of packing up and driving to the cottage or campsite, the CSA Group, a leader in testing and certification, wants to remind you to stay safe on land and water this summer with these tips. Boats and Cottages * Always wear a personal flotation device and never consume alcohol while operating any vehicle. * Make sure that certified carbon

Campside treat gets revamped When ready to serve, place the garnish marshmallows on top and drizzle with a little melted hot fudge. You can use a kitchen torch or a barbecue lighter to add a little browning to the garnish marshmallows to make them look like they were toasted over a fire. Slice and enjoy quickly before it melts. This cake also makes a great alternative to a store-bought ice cream birthday cake.
Frozen S’mores Cake 1 quart vanilla ice cream 1 quart chocolate ice cream 10 or 12 graham cracker squares 1/4 cup melted butter 1/2 tablespoon sugar 1 jar of hot fudge 1 bag mini-marshmallows 2 tablespoons water Vegetable shortening
S’mores is one of the most popular desserts enjoyed around the campfire and at cookouts. Now you can enjoy the flavor of this delectable dessert without the fuss of toasting marshmallows over an open flame. S’mores history dates back to the early 20th century. While the actual recipe origin is unknown -- considering most camping recipes were passed down from generation to generation --the first printed recipe for s’mores appeared in 1927 in the Girl Scout Handbook. S’mores were popular campside treats because of the portability of ingredients. It was easy to
pack a bag of marshmallows, a box of graham crackers and a few bars of chocolate. The combination of sticky marshmallow, smooth, rich chocolate and crunchy graham crackers provides a perfect melding of flavors. However, s’mores weren’t the first pairing of these ingredients. Mallomar cookies and Moonpies also featured these ideal components. To make a delicious dessert that builds upon the s’mores flavors and theme at your next summertime event, try this recipe for Frozen S’mores Cake.
•••
Crush graham crackers in a zipper-lock bag or pulse in a food processor until made into crumbs. Add sugar and melted butter to the crumbs, mix and press into the bottom of a spring-form pan. Bake at 350 F for 10 minutes, or until the crust browns a bit. Soften ice cream by letting it sit out of the freezer for a few minutes. Use a spatula or spoon to spread the chocolate ice cream over the cooled graham cracker crust. Spread desired amount of fudge topping over the chocolate ice cream. Then spread the softened vanilla ice cream over the fudge layer. Coat a microwave-safe bowl with a thin layer of shortening. Add most of the marshmallows, reserving a few for garnish, and the water to the bowl. Microwave for about a minute to a minute and a half until the marshmallows are melted. Top the vanilla ice cream with the melted marshmallows. Place the cake in the freezer overnight to harden.

Timbermen lose momentum
I
SR. A SQUAD loses its fifth straight game. BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN
Lacrosse is a game of momentum, and the Nanaimo Timbermen couldn’t find any against the Coquitlam Adanacs. The T-men lost their fifth straight in Western Lacrosse Association play Sunday, a 10-7 setback against the A’s. “We’ve got to figure out a way to score goals and go on runs,” said Kaleb Toth, coach of the Timbermen. “Unfortunately we haven’t been able to do that.” The visitors jumped out to a 4-0 lead on Sunday night and although the T-men scored a goal here, two goals there, they never carried the play for stretches. Toth said it was “the little things” that cost the team goals, and ultimately the game. The players need to be smarter, said the coach. “They know when they put in a real hard effort that they have a chance to win, but putting in a hard effort and being stupid lacrosse players is probably the worst thing, because you’re basically running around doing

nothing,” Toth said. “We need guys to work hard and we need intelligence.” On defence, there was confusion on loose balls and on what to do after they failed to win loose balls. On offence the coach felt players were passing the ball around “trying to be too cute” and missing opportunities to shoot. But part of it, too,
comes down to momentum – these days when it slips away, Toth said, there isn’t that belief that the Timbermen can get it back. “And we’ve got to find it, whether it’s prayer or it’s good, old-fashioned, intelligent hard work,” he said. “We need to find it and it’s got to happen soon.” Brody Eastwood led Nanaimo’s attack

Nanaimo News Bulletin 33
Juniors down but not out after losses The Nanaimo Timbermen were overmatched by the league’s best, but they think they can mix it up with most teams. The juniors were blown out by the Coquitlam Adanacs in back-to-back games this past weekend at Frank Crane Arena by scores of 18-8 and 16-3. “Overall, we were disappointed,” said Tyson Leies, assistant coach of the Timbermen. “We knew coming in this weekend against Coquitlam for both games, we were in very tough. They’re the class of the league as far as talent goes.” In Saturday’s game, Dane Sorensen scored a hat trick for Nanaimo and Cody Clark, Nick Kapusty, Monty Chisholm, Cody Short and Cole Kryworuchka were the other scorers. On Sunday it was Kryworuchka with a pair of goals and Clark with one. Leies said the losses were tough on the Timbermen, so much so that some guys didn’t seem like they wanted to go out on the floor. That needs to change, he said, and guys need to want to “go to war for each other.” He said coaches will talk to the guys and said it’s up to the players, too, to take leadership at a key point in the season with a playoff berth still up for grabs. “We know it’s a tough stretch, but if we can get a couple wins here and get close to .500, that team that’s going to be .500 or close to it is going to be the fourth-place team,” Leies said. GAME ON … The juniors host the Langley Thunder on Saturday (June 20) at 5 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Walk-off grand slam wins it for Nanaimo Pirates A 15-2 blowout win doesn’t usually have an exciting finish, but this one did. The Nanaimo Pirates mercied the Parksville Royals last Wednesday at Serauxmen Sta-
dium in B.C. Premier Baseball League action. Hub City Paving Pirates first baseman Matt Skingle came to the plate with the bases loaded in the bottom of the fifth inning.
He needed to drive in one run for his team to secure a 10-run mercy-rule win, but instead he hit a walk-off grand slam. Skingle was 3-for-3 at the plate that evening and finished with five RBIs.

Field hockey finishes season with sunny day
DAVID GILKS
It’s kind of like ice hockey, but you’re outside, said Eiko Eby, president of Nanaimo Field Hockey, and on a beautiful spring day, she had a point. The association ended its 2014-15 season Sunday with a friendly game against Comox at Merle Logan Field. It was a good year, said Eby. A combined NanaimoComox team dubbed Nanaimox placed first in the masters division at the Vancouver International Field Hockey Tournament last month, and Nanaimo also won an indoor tournament in the Comox Valley in February. The league is looking for more players for next fall for weekly pickup games. “We’ll take people young and old, male, female, and any skill level … no experi-
