Health clinic opens doors at university I
SURVEY SHOWED 81 per cent of students, faculty and staff had gone to emergency room for care. BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THE NEWS BULLETIN

A windsurfer tacks into a stiff breeze off the shores of Pipers Lagoon Park Friday. Sunny skies and cooler temperatures near the shoreline drew residents out to Nanaimo’s marine parks over the B.C. Day long weekend.
Port authority passenger fees set to increase in autumn BY KARL YU THE NEWS BULLETIN
The Nanaimo Port Authority says it will increase passenger fees in order to provide better security for the harbour. Effective Oct. 1, the fee will rise to 25 cents per passenger, from 15 cents. Senior citizens, disabled
people and students will still be charged 15 cents. The authority said it has been tasked with more responsibilities over the last 10 years, including marine security. The fees will apply to people taking ferries to and from Departure Bay and Duke Point, as well as people taking floatplanes from
the harbour. Ferry riders to Protection, Newcastle and Gabriola islands will not be affected. Part of the money will go toward two patrol boats and staffing to allow for around-the-clock response on the city’s waterfront. The authority will work with Nanaimo Fire Rescue to include firefighting ret-
rofits. The port authority said $1.1 million has been invested in the boats. David Mailloux, port authority spokesman, said Nanaimo’s harbour is dynamic, with a lot going on, and the vessels will allow for a “maximum blanket of safety and security.” It’s a 24/7 job, he said. See ‘FEES’ /9
Nanaimo’s university students no longer have to leave campus to get medical care. A health and wellness centre has opened at Vancouver Island University, allowing students to get lab tests, birth control and biopsies on campus. The clinic had a soft opening in May when most students had already left for the summer, but will hold an official opening this September, according to Carrie Chassels, the university’s director of student affairs, who believes advocacy for a medical clinic at the university has been ongoing for at least 20 years. By 2013, the Nanaimo Division of Family Practice was involved, reporting to the News Bulletin that the idea was to hire a nurse practitioner to lead a campus clinic and help address an under-served student population, although the university itself was mum on the details. When Chassels arrived last August, she said she was tasked with the responsibility of the university’s health care vision. According to Chassels and Dr. Melissa Oberholster, co-chairwoman and physician lead for the division’s A GP for Me initiative, the aim is to decrease emergency room uses. The GP for Me survey, which had 500 students, faculty and staff at the university respond, showed 81 per cent had gone to the emergency room within the last 12 months. See ‘ON-CAMPUS’ /9

initiative fills gaps in community’s health-care services
I
doctorS aim to make programs sustainable.
By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN
A push to mend health care gaps in the Harbour City has seen success, from the arrival of five new doctors to a “robust” locum program, according to Dr. Melissa Oberholster, lead physician for A GP for Me. The Nanaimo Division
of Family Practice has been engaged in A GP for Me, a $1.13-million initiative from the Ministry of Health and Doctors of B.C., to gauge local health care challenges and set out to fix them. A survey, undertaken last year, shows 25 per cent of Nanaimo’s doctors will retire in the next three years and 30 per cent of respondents suffer from a mental illness. Eleven thousand residents are without a family doctor. Those with A GP for
Me have already rolled out initiatives to help improve health care and while the aim has been to connect patients with doctors, it’s also gone beyond that mandate. It’s working with 19 agencies to open the John Barsby Wellness Centre that will allow students to get checkups at schools as early as September. It’s also been involved in the new Vancouver Island University Health and Wellness Centre, recruited five new physicians to the city and bol-
stered a locum program so doctors have replacements when they need time away from the office. It’s also started up a new adult mental health program for those with mild and moderate anxiety and depression. The most exciting initative for Oberholster has been Team Enhanced Access to Mental Health Services for adults with anxiety and depression. Mental health stood out over everything else in the community as an area with the biggest
need for service, according to Oberholster, who said current programs mostly serve patients with severe and persistent mental illness, leaving a gap for those with mild and moderate anxiety and depression. The new team, located in Caledonia Clinic, offers brief intervention that can extend into the home. A single mother with postpartum depression, for example, didn’t have energy or motivation to do much so she had a community rehabilita-
tion worker accompany her to a StrongStart B.C. class with her baby so she could get more connected to other mothers and community programs. She also received counselling. The program has seen 33 referrals to date and there is a possibility of it continuing into the future. Dollars for A GP for Me run out in March and the organization is currently looking at ways to make programs, like its mental health team, sustainable. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Sr. B. T-men take Game 1 of finals BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN
The senior B Nanaimo Timbermen were winners in their long-awaited return to the finals. The T-men, after 10 days off, took to the floor against the Ladner Pioneers and won 12-7 to start the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association championship series. “We had a bit of a layoff and they were coming off a tough series, a close series,” said Mike Maughan, T-men coach. “I was a little worried that we
weren’t going to be able to match their intensity because we had a bit of an easier time in our series, but the guys mentally prepared themselves really well and we did what we needed to do.” Ryan Dietterle, T-men defender, said as the game went on Nanaimo’s D did a better job contesting Ladner’s shots. “And after that they pretty much had nothing. They slowed down,” he said. Jon Diplock, T-men captain, said his team won by playing the same sort of lacrosse it’s
been playing all year. “We told each other at the start of the game, just do our thing and everything will work out, because we know that we’re the better team,” he said. Diplock led the offence with four goals. Ryan Forslund had a hat trick, Derek Lowe and Steve Higgs had two goals apiece and Nick Patterson made 41 saves. GAME ON … Game 2 is Thursday (Aug. 6) on the mainland and Game 3 is Saturday at 2 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

FEdEraTioN’S goal to advocate for women and girls.
Mounties catch theft suspect Nanaimo RCMP’s street Crimes unit has arrested a man allegedly responsible for breakand-enters and break-in attempts in Nanaimo, Parksville and Courtenay over the past three months. According to RCMP, thousands of dollars in electronics were stolen during the break-andenters that targeted electronics retail stores. The street Crimes unit led the investigation with information shared by police in the three communities. Police were able to recover about $15,000 worth of stolen property when they searched the suspect’s residence wednesday. They also arrested a 44-year-old Nanaimo man who is scheduled to appear in Nanaimo provincial court today (Aug. 4). Police have recommended charges of break-and-enter, possession of break-in tools and possession of stolen property.

Kathy Torhjelm, Canadian Federation of University Women B.C. Council secretary and past-president, left, and Jenny Webb, co-president, display milestone markers of the CFUW Nanaimo club’s 70-year history, which include the club’s former lamp of learning logo and its current banner.
It might have 70 years under its belt, but the Canadian Federation of University Women Nanaimo is still keeping with the times, according to co-president Jenny Webb. The group, dedicated to education, advocacy and action on issues affecting women and girls, is celebrating 70 years in the Harbour City. The club has seen changes since those early days in 1945 when there were 13 women, $4 membership fees and a push to help in wartime. Members then supported campaigns to send clothing to sister members in Europe, joined in emergency registration for civil defence and donated gifts for displaced university women. By 1951, the group had grown to 26 members. Today there are 130. The university club is no longer just for degree-holders and their associates, membership dues are $100 and the focus is on education, with the belief that the way for women to succeed and be active in communities is through education, said Webb.
Scholarships are handed out every year, with an endowment fund at Vancouver Island University that’s close to $150,000. Women can also get involved in book, dining and coffee groups through the club. Webb started in a coffee group 21 years ago when she had two young children, seeing it as a social outlet to get involved with like-minded women. The different groups tend to stay together and grow up together, she said, but they also know they are part of a bigger purpose where they all believe in the CFUW values of advocacy, action and education. “Women traditionally like to work together and when they’re single-minded in a purpose, I think it builds a stronger club,” she said. The organization has been around for seven decades but is still current, according to Webb. With an initiative of combatting child poverty at the federation’s provincial level and violence against women at the national level, as well as a global effort to allow women the opportunity to further their education, Webb believes the group’s priorities are as relevant in today’s world as they were 70 years ago. “We’re very forward-thinking and with that focus in mind I think the club is still in for bigger and better times.” news@nanaimobulletin.com
New council will determine how Lantzville’s village core moves forward
B.C. loosens liquor laws
By Tamara Cunningham
wineries, breweries, cideries and distilleries with licensed lounges can now sell patrons liquor they didn’t produce. until now, a distillery couldn’t sell anything other than the spirits it produced. But there will be a limit – a maximum of 20 per cent of sales by a given producer can consist of liquor produced off-site. Craft Distillers Guild of B.C. president Tyler Dyck said the move opens the door for craft brewers, vintners and distillers to cross-promote each other.
The News BulleTiN
A vision for the heart of Lantzville is now in the hands of a new council. The Village Commercial Core Improvement committee has spent more than a year crafting a vision for the village centre, with ideas of public art to plazas and parking. It’s all about enhancing Lantzville’s main street to help businesses and attract shoppers and it’s up to a new council on how it moves forward. Last April, the previous council decided against endorsing the vision in its strategic plan until it received a staff report. Four councillors, including village core committee chairwoman Jennifer Millbank, have since resigned,
prompting the byelection Saturday (Aug. 8). According to Trudy Coates, director of corporate administration, a report on the plan and recommended changes is on the list for the new council. Next steps include a process to amend the Official Community Plan to include the Village Commercial Core Improvement Plan, and as a major policy piece, the required staff report won’t be presented or considered until there’s a sevenmember council. Ian Savage, a member of the core committee, hopes the work is supported. The aim is to create gathering places, bring the community together and make the core more pedestrian friendly and unique, which could help businesses. “We’ve got to get it through
because that was a good year’s work,” he said. Half of Lantzville’s byelection candidates consider the village core or village improvement plan a priority, according to a News Bulletin byelection questionnaire. John English said the village core plan hasn’t been completed, but talks about keeping the core as a pedestrian-friendly zone while keeping the character of the area, which he favours. “I would like to see us start implementing some of the things in all of those plans and if, during the course of implementation, we find there are some things that don’t work or can’t work, then sure, let’s make some changes then maybe do some revising,” he said. Candidate Peter Popperl said

he’s open to supporting projects that would beautify the village core and calls the plan sound but high level. What is done first still has to be worked out, but he said it also depends on what the community wants. “You can’t really move forward without the buy-in of the community.” he said. Richard Finnegan said it’s time to take the next step with the plan, including setting goals, developing a budget and talking to the public and business owners. “The main thing the city can do is work on the transportation corridor part, which is the roads, the sidewalks, the greenery and then usually businesses will step up and improve their facade,” he said. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Sewer pipe repaired at north-end park
I
lEak rESultEd in closure of Morningside Park. BY KARL YU THe NeWS BuLLeTIN
A leak in a marine outfall sewage line that led to the closure of Morningside Park last week has been repaired. The leak occurred in an area between the park and the beach and led to treated sewage effluent surfacing at the beach. Crews successfully applied a clamp Thursday afternoon that
will prevent further leakage. Restoration and landscape work will take place Tuesday (Aug. 4). The park is expected to re-open later this week. Sean De Pol, regional district manager of wastewater services, said the damage wasn’t major and appears to have been caused by old age. He said the hole was on a weld site, which can be more susceptible to rust and corrosion. “The thing to note is this is a very large-diameter pipe with essentially a very small hole in it, so it’s not a break,” said De Pol. “I’ve
been getting inquiries from the public thinking we have a major issue here – it’s a very, very small leak in comparison to the size of the pipe.” There was leakage into the soil, but it was treated effluent and contamination isn’t an issue, according to De Pol. The soils have a natural ability to purify organics in the effluent, he said. The leak was along the same pipe that was damaged during a rainstorm last December, which cost more than $100,000 to repair. De Pol didn’t want to speculate on how much repairs for the most recent leak would
cost, as the regional district hasn’t been billed. The marine outfall line is currently part of an $18-million upgrade project, which will see work in 2016. De Pol said the Regional District of Nanaimo will be looking at strategies to reduce the risk of future leaks to the existing outfall line during the next three months. Valerie Wilson, Vancouver Island Health Authority spokeswoman, said test samples from water near the beach were taken, but results were not available by press time.

Summer festivals drive tourism
I
opERaToRS Say they had best June since 2008. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
Nanaimo’s tourist industry is enjoying its best summer tourist season since 2008. Tourism Nanaimo credits summer festivals such as the Nanaimo Dragon Boat Festival and events such as the B.C. Athletics Jamboree for driving up tourism numbers and packing hotels from Ladysmith to Qualicum through the July 10-11 weekend. Dan Brady, Nanaimo Hospitality Association chairman and the Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation’s appointed tourism committee representative, said local tourism statistics are finally getting back to pre-recession levels. “June, in Nanaimo, that was our best June – we’re at 70-per
cent occupancy – that’s the best it has been since 2008,” Brady said. The hospitality association represents Nanaimo’s 24 hotels, motels and other accommodations providers. According to a report by Chemistr y Business and Human Resource Consulting, year-to-date figures are up from 2014 across the board for daily room rate occupancy, room rates and revenue. The same is true for foot passenger and vehicle traffic at B.C. Ferries’ Duke Point and Departure Bay terminals. Showing the biggest year-todate gains are the Nanaimo Airport with 138,430 passengers through its terminal, up 13.9 per cent, and the Vancouver Island Conference Centre, hosting 12,135 delegates for an 89.9 per cent jump over 2014. Tourism Nanaimo also reports more than 7,000 people visited its Northfield and Bastion visitor centres – up seven per cent over 2014’s second quarter. About 10 per cent
of those were visitors from the U.S. compared to four per cent in 2014. The average length of visitors’ stays is longer too, about seven to 14 days and each visitor spends about $130 per day. Brady and Lesley Anderson, Tourism Nanaimo executive director, credit favourable tourism numbers with the currently low loonie, which is drawing more U.S. visitors and causing locals to vacation close to home. Sports events and summer festivals are big draws, too. “There are a variety of contributing factors,” Anderson said. “The dollar is a good one. It encourages people to stay-cation, for one, but also Canada and Vancouver Island are a great value.” “Ever ything’s helping,” Brady said. “It’s a bit of everything.” To read the full report, please visit www.chemistryconsulting.ca/nananimo-tourism-bulletin-june-2015. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

EDITORIAL
B.C. is worth a closer look
It was another beautiful day yesterday in beautiful B.C., appropriate, we think, on B.C. Day. We hope you all had a pleasant long weekend, and enjoyed B.C. in your own unique way. From what we’re told, more people are getting out and about in B.C. this summer than in recent years – tourism figures in Nanaimo show positive trends. Sunny skies, festival season, high gas prices and a weak loonie are some of the reasons why so many people might be choosing to stay-cation this summer. Or it could just be that our province is a pretty special place to be. We hope many of you had a chance during the long weekend to stroll, sightsee and explore. Because there’s so much B.C. that awaits just outside our doors, beckoning us to come out and play. Consider that the most worldly traveller will never come close to seeing all that the Earth has to offer – a lifetime isn’t nearly enough time to visit every nook and cranny in Canada, B.C., or even Vancouver Island. But it’s enough time to start looking. British Columbia means a lot of things. It’s a place. It’s 4.6 million people. It’s what the provincial government is or isn’t doing, and the state of the economy, and the news of the day, and a 144-year history and an untold future. It’s all of those things and it can be more, still, and we can make our province a better place with our votes, our work, our words and our actions. A lot of B.C., though, is perfect just the way it is. We have a responsibility of stewardship, but with that comes the freedom to experience this vast and variegated land that belongs to all of us and none of us. On B.C. Day or on any day, we should be proud of our province. And whenever we feel lucky to live here in beautiful B.C., it’s worth taking a look around, reminding ourselves why. The Nanaimo News Bulletin is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry. The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member newspapers. Directors oversee the mediation of complaints, with input from both the newspaper and the complaint holder.

Nanaimo News Bulletin 7
Citizens are standing up for park To the Editor,
Re: Auxiliary spillway option chosen for Colliery dam, July 23. Colliery Dam Park continues to be threatened by expensive, unnecessary projects: an early alignment of the parkway was slated to go right below the lower dam, an unneeded waterline cut a swathe between the lakes, and the new water purification system took out even more forest. Now schematic drawings show a far wider cutline than admitted for a massive ditch connecting the lower lake to Harewood Creek, yet another useless, expensive boondoggle. I understand that the provincial government has been embarrassed when our dams were proven to be structurally sound enough to handle earthquakes. But coercing council to approve spend-

The auxiliary spillway remediation plan for Colliery Dam Park is too intrusive, says letter writer.
ing your taxes on another hare-brained project seems to me to smack of petty revenge. And that is why citizens are standing up for the park.
Dave Cutts Nanaimo
To the Editor,
Re: Protesters planning to block Colliery dam remediation efforts, July 28. Civil disobedience is an important part of a democracy and has changed soci-
ety for the better in modern times. Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi saw injustice that they were prepared to right even at great personal cost. The proposed work at Colliery Dam Park does not rise to the level of injustice nor does it rise to the level of environmental impact deserving a response of civil disobedience. In many infrastructure projects which have
intervenors there will be experts on both sides of the issue interpreting the data and presenting their side of the argument. In the end a technical board, judge, government agency or other arbitrator will be empowered to render a decision which one side may not like. That process may not be perfect but it is fair and democratic. Protesting this spillway decision through interference with construction is not warranted and will cost taxpayers even more than has already been wasted on this project. Contractors will build in a risk premium to allow for delays. Police overtime, legal, incarceration, and additional city staff costs are likely to be incurred. Protesters should as a minimum create their own funding to pay all of these costs themselves.
Fred Kardel Nanaimo
Taxpayers shouldn’t foot bill for council’s issues To the Editor,
Re: Facilitator hired to address internal council issues, July 21. Really? If these children cannot play nice in the sandbox then they should not be in the sandbox. I am certain that ‘bullying’ is not in the job description of a city councillor. Inducing tension in a group, name calling and physical altercations are indeed bullying behaviors. This is an extremely negative example they are setting. I doubt the bullying behavior starts and stops at council meetings. These individuals need to fund their own ‘therapy’ with the appropriate health care professional or counselor. Nothing less will assist these individuals. We expect members of society to act appropriate
and as adults, be examples of behavior we would want to see among ourselves. I for one, will not watch the meetings. They insult my intelligence. Remember, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink it. These individuals need an intrinsic desire to change. Change is up to them as adults (I use the term loosely).
J.K. Jordan via e-mail
To the Editor,
Re: Facilitator hired to address internal council issues, July 21. This article was very disturbing to me on so many levels and should be to all taxpayers in Nanaimo. We have a mayor who is spending our tax dollars,
$50,000 as he indicates in the article, to facilitate an antibullying campaign among the city councillors. On top of that ridiculous action, he is going to hide the results of how this money was spent without a report to itemize the expenditure. Who are these elected officials that cannot play well in the sandbox with others? I would bet our mayor is one of the ones who can’t play with others. Grow up, elected officials, and remember who you are working for, the people of Nanaimo. Stop the ridiculous antics of two-year-olds and get our business done respectfully. I know this money is not what my tax dollars should be spent on.

Bombing remembered
The first wartime use of an atomic bomb will be remembered at Nanaimo’s 14th annual Lanterns for Peace ceremony. Lanterns will be launched at Swy-a-lana Lagoon, in Maffeo Sutton Park, at dusk Thursday (Aug. 6), which will mark the 70th anniversary of the destruction of Hiroshima, Japan, in 1945. The City of Nanaimo has declared Aug. 6 Hiroshima Day in keeping with Nanaimo’s status as a nuclear weaponsfree city and with past proclamations. The ceremony, organized by the Nanaimo chapter of
Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, is open to children and families and starts shortly after 8 p.m. with Japanese folk dance and peace songs by The Owl and The Pussycat. The lantern ceremony starts at 9 p.m. with music by the Everybody Sings Choir, Joan Wallace, Mama’s Kitchen, Nordli Nanaimo Harbour City Seniors Ukelele Group, Margaret Sutton and words by Nanaimo-Cowichan MP Jean Crowder and Nanaimo MLA Leonard Krog. The lanterns will be launched into the water at 9:30 p.m.
On-campus clinic open to students From /1
There’s also hope from the university that the clinic will attract new students and make students feel they are well cared for while they study at the school. It’s staffed by a nurse practitioner, who is available by appointment or dropin. The service is free and since it’s provided by a nurse practitioner and not a physician, no medical service plan coverage is needed, Chassels said. “It’s a really exciting addition to the services that are provided for our students and we’re really looking forward to seeing the reaction of our returning students who will arrive in September and discover that they have access to a brand new medical clinic,” she said. The clinic is a part-
nership that involves Island Health and the Nanaimo Division of Family Practice’s A GP for Me initiative, which has helped design the space and will offer ongoing support around managing the clinic. Oberholster said the partnership seemed like a good fit with the survey showing a high utilization of the emergency room and anecdotes around mental health disorders, which can affect students’ academics and quality of life. There’s also a vision by the university to see the clinic develop into a health centre for the Harewood community, according to Oberholster. It’s currently in a temporary location in Building 200, and only available to university students. news@nanaimobulletin.com

“The biggest backdrop of all of this is we are self-sufficient,” said Mailloux. “We don’t just get funding. We have to be self-sustaining. We have to find our own way to charge for services that we provide and direct them back to have benefits for the harbour ... for the community and for central Vancouver Island.” In addition to the vessels, staff and fire upgrades, the money will go toward supporting marine trade and developing and installing a Marine Domain Awareness System, which the authority said will provide real-time monitoring for the waters. Deborah Marshall, spokeswoman from B.C. Ferries, said the fee is collected for the port authority and passengers will see the increase applied to their fare. “There is a line item on the receipt, so the customer can see it is the port fee, not a B.C. Ferries fee,” Marshall said in an e-mail. The increase is the first one in 10 years, according to the port authority. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Actor remembered for inspiring others Inbrief I Antony hollAnd died wednesday in Nanaimo. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
Antony Holland, a Canadian actor, playwright and theatre director whose career spanned more than 70 years in theatre, film and television, died in Nanaimo Regional General Hospital Wednesday. He was 95. Holland trained in London and started his career serving with the British armed forces in England and North Africa during the Second World War. After the war Holland was vice-principal of the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in the U.K. until he emigrated to Vancouver in 1957, intending to give up theatre, but instead founded what became Studio 58, Langara College’s school of acting. Frank Moher, playwright, actor, director and artistic producer for Nanaimo’s Western Edge Theatre, credits Holland’s inspiration for that theatre’s creation. The men met after Holland moved to Gabriola Island where Holland, Moher and other actors gathered to perform stage readings of short plays after just a single readthrough. “That actually not only resuscitated my interest in acting, which I’d done quite a bit of as a young man, but it made me look around at all the people doing it with me and go, ‘Wow, there’s a lot of talented people here.’
That got me thinking of a theatre company and that theatre company became Western Edge.” Holland became a longstanding supporter of Western Edge as a fundraiser and a paid actor. Moher said Holland’s physical health declined in recent months, which frustrated him “because he still had the mind of a 40-year-old,” and was proud of being a working actor at his age. “I asked him what’s the secret to long life and he said, ‘Don’t drink,’ which is lost on most of us in the theatre, and then he would say various funny things about marriage, which I won’t repeat,” Moher said. Holland planned to tour in the fall with his new one-person show called Antony Holland Performs Shakespeare’s Women. “At the time I realized one of the soliloquies Shakespeare wrote for a character who is about to leave this world and I think that’s why he included it in the show,” Moher said. Holland received the Order of Canada in June 2014 in recognition of his achievements as an actor and teacher and for founding Studio 58 to cultivate a new generation of Canadian performers. “His devotion was to theatre and mostly to Shakespeare, but local people will best remember his performance in Tuesdays with Morrie, which was exceptional,” Moher said. “He brought great gravitas to that play, which didn’t necessarily happen otherwise.”

Author draws on her own life What’sOn I INSPIRATION FOR novel from Arctic.
By Nicholas Pescod THE NEWS BuLLETIN
For Joan Mettauer, writing was something she had thought about for a long time, but it wasn’t until she moved Nanaimo several years ago that she decided to try it. What followed was her first novel, Diamonds in an Arctic Sky, which was released last year. On Sunday (Aug. 9) Mettauer will be reading from her book at the Hazelwood Writers’ Festival. The festival, which takes place in Cass i d y, f e a t u re s a number of writers and poets from the around region including David Fraser, Kim Goldberg and Naomi Beth Wakan. Diamonds in an Arctic Sky centres on Andi Nowak, a young woman who decides to move to Inuvik, N.W.T., to work for an aviation company after losing her daughter. “It is loosely based on my life,” Mettauer said. “There are a lot
of extra things put in there such as the diamond mine. I did that because I needed to add a little bit of intrigue and mystery.” Prior to becoming an author, Mettauer had a lengthy career working in Canada’s aviation industry. In the 1980s, shortly after her son died in an accident, Mettauer divorced and decided to move to Inuvik as a single mother. “To me it was just another adventure. It was an opportunity to meet more people,” Mettauer said. After retiring to Vancouver Island in 2007, Mettauer started writing to deal with the loss of her son. That’s when she decided to create Diamonds in an Arctic Sky. “The first book was so easy because I had a lot to say,” Mettauer said. “Through Andi and Andi’s eyes I was able to help with my own grief and find a closure.” Mettauer says she was motivated to write when she saw

BETTY FAYE MACDONALD (1922 – 2015) Betty Faye MacDonald passed away after a short illness in Nanaimo, B.C. on July 16, 2015, surrounded by family and friends. Betty—known to everyone as Beth—was born in St. Catherines, Ontario in 1922. In 1941 she married Roy “Mac� MacDonald. However, the war soon separated them as Mac served overseas and Beth was left to care for her first child alone. Jobs were scarce when Mac mustered out, and they travelled extensively, working in various towns. Beth trained as a registered nurse and worked in a hospital in Port Dalhousie, Ont. Later she served as a hostess at the Rideau Club in Ottawa. In 1955 they moved to North Bay, Ontario, and through hard work eventually built up a major television and furniture store. They retired in 1975 and moved to Gabriola Island, B.C. Always drawn to the water, they bought a small cruiser and spent much time exploring the coast of Vancouver Island. They moved to Ladysmith, and eventually to Nanaimo. After Mac passed away in 2006, Beth managed her home alone for a while, but eventually settled at Wexford Creek assisted living where she spent her final years. She made many friends there. Beth loved gardening, reading and learning new things about different peoples, cultures and history. She was a kind and caring person who loved nature. She always had a dog as her companion and treasured her friends and family. Beth was a prolific creative writer, specializing in fiction and poetry about the outdoor life, especially about the country she loved around Temagami, Ontario. She is survived by two sons: Doug (Cally) of Victoria, B.C. and Allan (Joanne) of New Glasgow, Nova Scotia; and three grandchildren: Briana, Heather and Katherine. A memorial service was held at Wexford Creek on July 23. Condolences may be sent c/o: Doug MacDonald, 2651 Belmont Ave., Victoria, B.C. V8R 4A7.

John (Jack) Rickerby passed away peacefully at home July 26, 2015. No service or celebration of life by request. No flowers please, donations to charity of choice. Thank You to Dr. Beerman and the home care workers. It is with deep mourning that we announce the passing of Peter Christopher Wilson. Peter passed away peacefully on July 21 at the age of 59. Survived by his partner, Jean Priest; children: Rebecca, Andrew and Katrina Wilson, step daughter: Nicole Abbot; grandchildren: Grace and Megan Abbot and Gabriel Herman; and siblings: Neil Wilson and Pam (Russ) Watters. Peter was born Ross Francis Whiteduck in Kirkland Lake ON and was adopted at birth by Alex and Betty Wilson. He grew up in Haileybury, ON and at age 16 he hitchhiked across the country to Nanaimo BC to ‘go logging’. After suffering a devastating knee injury he changed professions slightly and for the last 35 years Peter was a blaster in both urban and residential settings. Peter identified himself as an alcoholic; and through strong character and resolve was sober for the last 34 years of his life. He was an active AA member and contributed to the sobriety of many people. Peter will always be remembered for his keen intellect and his piercing blue eyes. He possessed a profound intolerance for ‘stupidity’ and had an ability to bring laughter to friends and family and anyone he met with his quirky way of seeing life. Peter had an endless supply of stories, jokes and anecdotes collected over the many years he worked in numerous bush camps and job sites. A Celebration of Life will be held on August 8th at 2:00pm at the Westside Bible Church at 3307 Wishart Road in Victoria. Condolences can be made at www.carefuneral.com

SOCCER TEAM visits Nanaimo to inspire local youths.
Scores delayed due to B.C. Day
BY GREG SAKAKI The NeWs BuLLeTIN
The Vancouver Whitecaps came to the Island, had some fun, and made some fans and some friends. The Whitecaps FC soccer team was in Nanaimo on Wednesday for the annual Vancouver Island Coast Salish Hope and Health event. ’Caps players and guest coaches organized drills and games for First Nations youths on a sunny day at Beban Park’s Gyro Youth Sports Fields. “It’s always a good time to have fun,” said Gershon Koffie, Whitecaps midfielder. “It’s not like getting three points, it’s not like a league game. It’s the best time to have fun with the kids … I love hanging out with them.” He said the children brought “really good energy” to the field, and said it was going to help him in his next game. Neither Koffie, who is from Ghana, nor his teammate Kendall Waston, from Costa Rica, ever got to rub shoulders with professional soccer players when they were boys. “Never in my life. I only [saw] professional players through the TV,” Waston said. “I would have wished to have this opportunity, but now that I am in this position, I like to have fun with these little kids.” A few hours isn’t a lot of time to teach specific soccer skills,

so the Whitecaps were more concerned with interacting with the kids and providing inspiration. “At this age, everything is fun…” Waston said. “The best thing is they have fun and love the sport.”

For those children who dream of becoming professional soccer players, that’s how it starts, Koffie said, with a love for the game. “You cannot be perfect in something if you don’t love it,” he said. “They’re very young

If you love it, you have to love it with everything you’ve got. right now to choose what they want in the future, but you can always see your potential and if you love it, you have to love it with everything you’ve got. And I can see most of them are going to make it.” sports@nanaimobulletin.com

initiative fills gaps in community’s health-care services
I
doctorS aim to make programs sustainable.
By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN
A push to mend health care gaps in the Harbour City has seen success, from the arrival of five new doctors to a “robust” locum program, according to Dr. Melissa Oberholster, lead physician for A GP for Me. The Nanaimo Division
of Family Practice has been engaged in A GP for Me, a $1.13-million initiative from the Ministry of Health and Doctors of B.C., to gauge local health care challenges and set out to fix them. A survey, undertaken last year, shows 25 per cent of Nanaimo’s doctors will retire in the next three years and 30 per cent of respondents suffer from a mental illness. Eleven thousand residents are without a family doctor. Those with A GP for
Me have already rolled out initiatives to help improve health care and while the aim has been to connect patients with doctors, it’s also gone beyond that mandate. It’s working with 19 agencies to open the John Barsby Wellness Centre that will allow students to get checkups at schools as early as September. It’s also been involved in the new Vancouver Island University Health and Wellness Centre, recruited five new physicians to the city and bol-
stered a locum program so doctors have replacements when they need time away from the office. It’s also started up a new adult mental health program for those with mild and moderate anxiety and depression. The most exciting initative for Oberholster has been Team Enhanced Access to Mental Health Services for adults with anxiety and depression. Mental health stood out over everything else in the community as an area with the biggest
need for service, according to Oberholster, who said current programs mostly serve patients with severe and persistent mental illness, leaving a gap for those with mild and moderate anxiety and depression. The new team, located in Caledonia Clinic, offers brief intervention that can extend into the home. A single mother with postpartum depression, for example, didn’t have energy or motivation to do much so she had a community rehabilita-
tion worker accompany her to a StrongStart B.C. class with her baby so she could get more connected to other mothers and community programs. She also received counselling. The program has seen 33 referrals to date and there is a possibility of it continuing into the future. Dollars for A GP for Me run out in March and the organization is currently looking at ways to make programs, like its mental health team, sustainable. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Sr. B. T-men take Game 1 of finals BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN
The senior B Nanaimo Timbermen were winners in their long-awaited return to the finals. The T-men, after 10 days off, took to the floor against the Ladner Pioneers and won 12-7 to start the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association championship series. “We had a bit of a layoff and they were coming off a tough series, a close series,” said Mike Maughan, T-men coach. “I was a little worried that we
weren’t going to be able to match their intensity because we had a bit of an easier time in our series, but the guys mentally prepared themselves really well and we did what we needed to do.” Ryan Dietterle, T-men defender, said as the game went on Nanaimo’s D did a better job contesting Ladner’s shots. “And after that they pretty much had nothing. They slowed down,” he said. Jon Diplock, T-men captain, said his team won by playing the same sort of lacrosse it’s
been playing all year. “We told each other at the start of the game, just do our thing and everything will work out, because we know that we’re the better team,” he said. Diplock led the offence with four goals. Ryan Forslund had a hat trick, Derek Lowe and Steve Higgs had two goals apiece and Nick Patterson made 41 saves. GAME ON … Game 2 is Thursday (Aug. 6) on the mainland and Game 3 is Saturday at 2 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
