Ship’s anchor signifies maritime history

BELIEVED TO be from coal carrier SS Northland.

he anchor located near the Nanaimo Bastion is a giant reminder of the Harbour City’s history. Legend has it the SS Northland, a threemasted sailing ship with a steam engine, was headed to load up on coal, but came on strong winds and dropped anchor to reduce speed. The anchor got caught on a reef and part of the winch may have broken. The ship is said to have run into the dock. The anchor was salvaged 20 years ago from Boat Harbour, which was the shipping port for South Wellington and Mordern Collieries, said David Hill-Turner, former Nanaimo Museum curator. It has been displayed near Nanaimo’s waterfront since June 1985. Hill-Turner said the anchor is of forged iron and probably dates from sometime in the 19th century. It’s a fairly standard pattern of anchor used on sailing ships well into the 20th century. “They were useful for other purposes and I suspect at Boat Harbour, it was used as a warping anchor so ships could

move themselves to and from the dock without the aid of a tug. There would be chain from it to a buoy on the surface. Often, there was more than one,” said Hill-Turner in an e-mail. However the anchor was placed prior to the Nanaimo Archives

and information wasn’t always verified, according to Christine Meutzner, Nanaimo Archives’ community archivist. While it is plausible the ship came into Nanaimo’s waters, the only thing for certain, via documents, is the SS Northlands operated out of Washington

state, she said. “[The SS Northland] likely did, because at that time there were hundreds of different ships that came in, but there’s no actual record of it and I don’t believe there’s any identification on the anchor. So someone, who was either there at the time or had some direct connection to retrieving that anchor, would’ve had to provide this information because it’s so very specific. “It makes some assumptions you would only know if you were somehow involved in that story,” said Meutzner. Regardless of origin, the anchor serves as a monument representing Nanaimo’s past, said Chris Sholberg, City of Nanaimo culture and heritage planner. “The anchor’s representative of the type of ships that would’ve plied the waters of Nanaimo’s harbour over 100 years ago, so it’s a good example of that period in our history as a harbour and that history of shipping as a means of transportation,” Sholberg said. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Public asked for input to transform highway BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THE NEWS BULLETIN

A new street scape can bring the whole downtown together and change the personality of one of Nanaimo’s major roadways, according to members of Terminal Nicol Re-Imagined. The Terminal Nicol Re-Imagined project, led by a newly struck committee, is about to hold its first public event Sunday (Sept. 20). From boulevards in the centre of Terminal Avenue and Nicol Street to trees, fewer car lanes and street lights, people will be asked what features they want to transform the look of the highway that stretches from the Days Inn hotel to Comox Road. It’s all part of an effort by the Downtown Nanaimo Business Improvement Association to support revitalization of an area challenged by potential ground contamination, costs of remediation and There’s an a street scape that doesn’t encourage opportunity to drivers to stop. The City of really change Nanaimo has prothe personality vided $50,000 toward the first phase of the of the street. street scape project, which runs until October and kicks off public input. Future phases involve exploring possibilities, stakeholder meetings, options and a new concept for the corridor. Doug Kalcsics, a member of the street scape project committee, said the highway doesn’t serve the same purpose as it did prior to the Nanaimo Parkway and sees a chance to give the streets more urban character and a “certain quality” that doesn’t otherwise exist. “Now there’s an opportunity to really change the personality of the street and perhaps reknit it back into the communities on either side of it,” he said, adding he’s looking forward to a solid plan and strategy that has broad acceptance and will stand the test of time.

Free rides for cancer treatment set to end

frEEmaSoNS coNtiNuE service to Victoria.

By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN

Mid-Island cancer patients could be left without free, short-distance rides with the closure of the Canadian Cancer Society’s Volunteer Driver Program next month. The society will end its free program Oct.

6, after 25 years shuttling patients. The nonprofit blames alternative services and a decline in ridership and donations for the decision to stop the program, which gave about 39 central Island patients 203 rides last year. Patients were picked up at their homes and taken to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital or pickup points for longer-distance rides to Victoria by other services, like the Freemasons Cancer Car Program.

The Freemasons program, of which the society is a partner, will continue and the society has provided a list of other area services including Better at Home and HandyDart that patients can turn to for transportation. But none provide free, short-distance travel in the Harbour City. “You’re right, those do have a cost to them,” said Sandra Krueckl, vice-president of cancer control for the Canadian Cancer Society’s B.C. and Yukon

division. “That’s one of the things that makes decisions like this really difficult, to be perfectly honest, because we do know there are impacts to people.” Krueckl said the society needs to make decisions

to be good stewards of donor dollars. Doug Sowden, coordinator for the Freemasons Cancer Car Program on Vancouver Island, said its service will continue to shuttle patients for free to and from the cancer clinic in Victoria, but the onus will be on patients to get to his program’s pickup point. “The Volunteer Driver Program that the cancer society was running, they would pick people up at the door in the morning

and bring them to our pickup spot, one of which is Woodgrove,” he said. “What will have to happen now is that people will have to have family or neighbours or someone drive them to the pickup point.” There are options to help people with transportation costs, including taxi saver vouchers and financial support through the cancer society.

New running royalty reigns at Westwood

GREG SAKAKI/ThE NEwS BullETIN

Kim Brand, left, with great-niece Danaea Brand and nephew Kevin Brand, represent three generations of their family at the Run for the Mountain 6K event Saturday at Westwood Lake Park.

MORE THAN 200 finish Run for the Mountain 6K.

There’s a lot of new royalty of Westwood after another fast-paced Run for the Mountain 6K. The event, held Saturday at Westwood Lake Park, was a fundraiser for Mount Benson through the Nanaimo and Area Land Trust. Andrew Howard of Courtenay was the over-

all winner in 21 minutes, 21 seconds to become King of Westwood, while Melissa Ross of Nanaimo was the fastest female, finishing in 23:33 for the Queen of Westwood title. Craig Odermatt and Victoria Fiddick were the masters winners and Miles Huynh and Madison Heisterman were the youth winners. Other than Heisterman, a threetime defending champ, the others were all firsttime winners at the event. Winning Empire of West-

wood was the Oceanside Track and Field Club. Howard said this was his fourth or fifth time running the race, and said he wasn’t quite sure why he was able to break through and win this year. “You’ve got to picture the finish,” he said. “I always think about it a week before and kind of have that mindset of trying to do well.” Shelby Drope, runnerup this year in 21:31, raced to the early lead. “I passed him the first

kilometre and I just tried to stay up there,” Howard said. “They were catching me near the end, I think, that’s what they told me. You just listen for people catching up behind you and you run scared.” Race director Mike Thibodeau had hoped the 10th annual race would break a record for participation and although online registration was the highest ever, there were fewer walk-ups this year.

Gordon Street parking lot unlikely to recoup costs, says staff report

city scene

Remediation begins on dam

By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN

Remediation of the lower Colliery dam is about to begin. Park users are being asked to follow detour signs as the city prepares to get underway with construction of an auxiliary spillway next week. The public will see site clearing including tree removal, site preparation and temporary closure of the wood bridge crossing harewood Creek beginning Monday. signage will show when the lower Colliery dam trail network is closed and alternative routes. Access to the middle dam will not change. For updates, please visit http://cnan.ca/ ZeO5kV.

program and it’s a centralized place where any agency, whether it’s Salvation Army, the cold, wet weather shelter, if somebody’s helping somebody get housed in supportive housing or in one of these market rent apartments, they can send their clients down to the Homes to Homes program,” said Madden. Additionally, Madden said the United Way continues to provide money for programs such as Haven Society’s Children and Youth Who Witness Abuse program. The United Way’s annual campaign will officially begin at Woodgrove Centre Friday (Sept. 18) with its kickoff breakfast. Its goal is to better last year’s fundraising effort, which raised more than $1 million. For more information, please go to www.uwcnvi.ca or call 250-591-8731.

The city would not even recoup the monthly charge for a ticket machine with revenue from the proposed Gordon Street parking lot, a staff report shows. “While [a parking lot] seemed like a reasonable idea, it doesn’t appear to make much sense from an economic point of view,” said Mayor Bill McKay. Nanaimo city council had city staff members look into the potential to turn 100 Gordon St. into an interim pay parking lot, but with estimated costs of more than $72,000 and no anticipation of recouping costs, at least three politicians aren’t interested. A new parking lot could offer 20-30 new stalls for cars, or up to four buses and recreational vehicles and 15 cars, but the costs would be significant, according to recently released staff report, which pegs gravel parking alone to cost $72,500. To create a paved parking lot would cost $163,000, not including street lighting and landscaping. Staff members also believe there would be a low utilization rate of pay parking, which would compete with existing free on-street parking options and underground facilities next door. Revenue would not be enough to cover the monthly $500 operating charge for the ticket machine or pay back capital construction. “If we have parking spaces available and this one will be little used, I can’t see making that kind of capital expenditure for something we’ll never recover its cost,” said McKay, who said the most telling for him was that the rent of the parking machine wouldn’t be recovered. Councillors Jerry Hong and Wendy Pratt both agreed the property needs to be cleaned up, but they are not convinced the city should turn it into pay parking after reading the staff report. Pratt said nothing in the report made her believe the city could make lots of money on a pay parking lot and doesn’t believe “that kind of money” should be invested into it. It’s far too integral a property in downtown, said Pratt, who wants to see it actively marketed. Hong, who called the cost of a gravel parking lot “ridiculous,” said he’s in favour of seeing the property offered to the Downtown Nanaimo Business Improvement Association in the interim for merchant parking. The organization would be responsible for management and putting in gravel or pavement. The report will go to a council meeting Monday. Coun. Bill Bestwick, who proposed the motion for a pay parking lot, did not return phone calls or text messages.

UNITED Way seeks support for central island programs. By Karl yu The News BulleTiN

The Central and Northern Vancouver Island United Way is looking to raise more than $1 million in 2015-16 to benefit programs like Kids 4 Kids and Homes to Homes. Signy Madden, United Way executive director, said the non-profit asked for letters of intent from organizations seeking funding this fiscal year and the aim was to ensure more innovative programs would receive money. It ended up providing money for 15 new programs. Madden said one of these is the Kids 4 Kids program, run out of Georgia Avenue Community School. It provides

after-school activities for vulnerable students, including sewing, cooking and games. “Why we got involved was, it’s a great program, tons of great volunteers who are active, but they really needed a bit of money for the snacks for the kids and also to pay a coordinator to make sure they got all the volunteers to cover all the shifts, and so that’s what United Way is funding this year at the Kids 4 Kids program,” said Madden. The United Way is also involved with aiding homeless people and putting them in ‘market rent’ apartments and ensuring they remain housed. People in this situation need access to furniture and kitchen equipment, according to Madden. “One of our new grants that we’re funding with the Nanaimo Women’s Centre is called Homes to Homes

ple and commuters, including, he mentioned, people who could work in Vancouver and then come home and spend their money in Nanaimo. “[This] is the single biggest immediate project that will have a positive, long-lasting economic impact on Nanaimo, Ladysmith and most of Vancouver Island,” he said. Nanaimo Mayor Bill McKay agreed, suggesting a high-speed passenger ferry could mean as much to the city as coal did once.

“I know the transportation challenges that we have,” said Duncan during the announcement at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre. “The project makes sense, there’s a strong business case and it has been widely endorsed by municipal governments on Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland.” No dollar figure was announced, but Duncan mentioned that Island Ferries is seeking $14 million. “I consider it a reasonable ask – there’s a huge private-sector investment involved,” he said. Dave Marshall, Island Ferries spokesman, said 82 per cent of the project’s funding comes from the private sector. He said his company has not approached any other federal political party. “We still have the election before the funding comes, but this is a significant step,” said Stewart Vinnels, Island Ferries executive. “It’s a

Positivity focus of peace party

EvENTS aiM to get people talking about issues. By Rachel SteRn The News BulleTiN

Shifting consciousness away from negativity to positive aspects of life is at the forefront of Nanaimo’s Peace Party in the park. “We are celebrating what is possible,” said Pat Zogar, organizer and a member of Centres for Spiritual Living, adding people have to power to create peace. The event, held on the International Day of Peace Monday (Sept. 21) from 1-8 p.m. in Maffeo Sutton Park, is a partnership between Unity of Nanaimo and the Centres for Spiritual Living. It begins with a peace march at 1 p.m. “It’s so vitally important we have balance for our children,” said Zogar. “They see so much violence on TV that I’m afraid the generation growing up is going to think that is the norm.” Zogar invites ser vice and cultural groups and the public to celebrate. There will be live music, face-painting, displays of children’s art and poetry, origami folding, a flash mob choir and yoga on the grass. Elsewhere in Nanaimo, yoga enthusiasts will stretch in support of the Speak Their Peace cam-

Fox had part of his right leg amputated due to bone cancer and his initial run was to benefit and raise awareness for cancer research. Following in that tradition, the Terry Fox Run, which is held across the country, sees money raised going toward cancer research. Van Doorn said 84 cents of every dollar goes to cancer research. “Just come and participate. Kids and dogs and bikes and runners and walkers and everybody,” said Van Doorn. Last year’s event saw 365 people participating, Van Doorn said.

All encouraged to run to remember Terry Fox

This year Speak Their Peace partnered with PullTogether, a campaign created by Raven Trust and the Sierra Club of B.C., to help raise awareness and money for First Nation communities that are challenging the Enbridge pipeline in court. The campaign’s goal is $600,000 and Moksha and Moda studios want to raise $65,000 for the cause, with Nanaimo hoping to contribute $2,000 to that total. Butler said the pipeline is a controversial and complicated subject, but the event is about creating a safe place for people to open up a dialogue to “make the world a better place.” “It’s not about hippie yogis out to save the world. It is about being intelligent, thoughtful, educated and concerned citizens out to save the world,” said Butler. “This is exactly what I hope happens. That we ask questions, sit with questions, get educated about these questions, and then with a full heart and a clear head make an honest decision, not out of fear but out of clarity.” Nanaimo Moksha Yoga is donating all money from its September karma classes to the campaign and is holding candle-lit karma class Monday, 8:30-9:45 p.m. at both its Dufferin and Rutherford studios. The suggested donation is $7.

Drive safely near schools

In B.C., 78 children aged five to 18 are injured in crashes in school or playground zones every year. With children back at school this month, Mounties are asking drivers to watch for children, especially in or around school zones, and expect more traffic on our roads. Parents are encouraged to review the rules of the road with their children and go over their daily route to and from school. The start of the school year is also a great time for parents to consider carpooling with another parent in their neighborhood for school drop-off and pickup or allowing their child to walk or cycle to school if possible to help reduce traffic congestion and vehicle carbon emissions. With driving, there is always a temptation to speed just a little and pass those who seem like they are driving too slow. Now is the time to put the brakes on bad driving habits. The kids will be back in school and they may not be paying as much attention as they should to vehicles. If you are caught speeding in a school or playground zone you can reach into your wallet to pay a fine of $196 to $483 plus three driver penalty points. The posted speed in school zones is 30 km/h between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on school days. And another reminder: pay attention when you are driving. Distracted driving is more than being on a cellphone, it can be eating, fetching something or just looking away. Pay attention to those in front of you and back of you and drive defensively. Slow down. We all need to do our part to keep children and students safe. That means expecting busier roads and giving yourself plenty of travel time so you aren’t rushing and can stay focused on the road.

election is a blessing, he said, because it gives voters time to make up their minds about the kind of leadership they want for their country. “We’re not doing this,” he said, making a roller-coaster motion with his hand. “We’re doing a nice, steady climb. And I do believe Canadians are going to get caught up in the real change.” If any wave is rolling in, perhaps it is on Vancouver Island’s shores, where the Green Party is polling at historic highs. As of last week, candidate Paul Manly’s local campaign had already raised 15 times more money than in the last election. “That’s ordinary people inspired by what’s going on,” he said. I don’t think it’s naive, as a voter, to want to be inspired. Some of that responsibility falls to party leaders. But maybe we shouldn’t expect that there will be some zinger in a debate, or one single issue or one moment that will define this campaign and win this election. Which means it really is up to us as voters. It’s up to us to care about Canada, and to care deeply. Casting one ballot apiece, we can’t make a wave. But maybe we can turn a tide.

Election promises prove costly To the Editor,

Tom Mulcair is making a lot of promises on his election campaign. National $15-a-day childcare. Roads, bridges, and transit infrastructure. Restore home mail delivery. Raise guaranteed income supplement for seniors. Hire and train 2,500 new police officers. Improve the CPP. Where is Mulcair going to find this extra money, and still balance the budget in the first year of his mandate? Either Mulcair has a money-minting genie in a magic lamp in his campaign bus or he has some explaining to do to voters. If Mulcair and his NDP is elected to the government of Canada, you know exactly how he intends on keeping his promises above. The No. 1 rule of NDP economics of finance is to borrow, tax and spend. Some of you may not like the present Conservative federal government, but how many of you do not like your next-door neighbours, but still don’t bother to move to another neighbourhood? Governments are all the same, but some are better than others.

splitting or sharing. Here on Vancouver Island, the tired old ‘strategic voting’ rhetoric is simply irrelevant. In a two-way race like Nanaimo-Ladysmith, voters needn’t hold their nose or other contortions. Vote for what you believe in. Make 2015 the year that ‘strategic voting’ nonsense is finally replaced by commitment to a truly democratic process like proportional representation. Norman Abbey Nanaimo

To the Editor,

Re: We should consider voting strategically, Letters, Sept. 3. The writer of this letter states that the only way to return Canada to its ideals of “fairness, democracy, peacekeeping and environmental responsibility” is by voting for the NDP or the Liberals. He wrote from Delta, having a very differ-

ent political reality to that of Nanaimo. Here the Conservatives and Liberals are polling way behind the NDP and Greens. There is no need to vote ‘strategically.’ With the leader of the NDP forcing his MPs to vote for trade deals involving investor rights – which hamper or destroy fairness, democracy and environmental responsibility, I’d suggest that those wishing to reclaim that kind of Canada would be best served to vote Green.

To the Editor,

Re: If we care about our planet, it’s time to act and vote, Letters, Aug 27. If Justin Trudeau’s comment about a self-balancing budget had been his only gaffe, the letter writer might be easier to agree with. However, Trudeau’s mouth running without his mind in gear is becoming legendary. His expression of admiration of China’s dictatorship supports his ignorance of global economics. On our joining the battle against Islamic State, what was he hinting at with “whipping out our CF-18 fighters?” He seems to think that dropping humanitarian aid on Iraq and Syria will stop ISIS atrocities. Trudeau has yet to unveil any ideas that would create wealth rather than spend it, improve trade or further enhance Canada’s effective-

Residents needn’t be scared of flood To the Editor,

Re: Council approves dam contract for spillway, Sept. 3. The collapse of the dams and causing severe problems for the residents of Harewood is not going to happen. The scare that the last council produced for the residents was bad in so many ways – seniors

are scared; one particular senior is scared to the point she thinks she will drown in her sleep when it rains. While this may not be the intention, it is indeed the outcome. Property value has dropped because of the signage, segregating south Harewood as a place that you do not want to

live, ‘just in case.’ Take down the signage now – the evidence provided to the public does not support the conclusion of the dams failing. The people want this historic forest/water park. The community will continue to protect this sanctuary.

To the Editor,

An attack ad ran into me yesterday when I was listening to the radio, and I am appalled that we have sunk to such a level of superficial, nasty, meaningless dribble. There was no useful information, no respect for voters or government, no intelligent dialogue about the serious issues of our day. Just petulant, mean-spirited jeers. It’s all one step below the ‘Santa Claus effect’ of meaningless gifts and promises of what a candidate will ‘give us’ (using our money) if elected. I value my vote too much to sell it that cheaply. I will vote for the candidate who talks to me like I’m intelligent.

AKON PLAYS at Diana Krall Plaza on Friday.

I think Mario saved a lot of us from that. I probably would have been dead or locked up easily.

BY NICHOLAS PESCOD THE NEWS BULLETIN

ong before Akon was a five-time Grammy nominee or a platinum-certified musician, he was a teenager living in Jersey City, N.J., where life was no walk in the park. “There was a lot of Puerto Ricans and Dominicans in that area, I was pretty much the only African,” Akon said. “We used to always get into so much trouble.” So when Akon found himself in trouble with other kids in the area, a man named Mario Costa had an unorthodox way of solving the problem. “Mario was very instrumental for me in my earlier career,” Akon said. Costa, the owner of the Ringside Lounge, a restaurant located beside a building where former boxer Mike Tyson once trained, would organize a boxing match for the disgruntled youths. “Mario would gather us all up with the two or three parties … and put us in the ring and we would all put on our gloves and duke it out,” Akon said. “That’s where we all solved our problems in the hood. It is not like we would go grab a gun and go shoot this cat. If I had a problem with you I would meet you at the Ringside.” Without Costa, Akon says things could have easily turned deadly.

Grammy-nominated singer Akon performs at Nanaimo’s Diana Krall Plaza with Karl Wolf and BAE this Friday (Sept. 18).

“He is definitely a blessing for us because I know without that situation bullets would have been flying without thinking about it,” Akon said. Since his days in New Jersey, Akon has gone from the streets to become one of the biggest names in music, having worked with the likes of Michael Jackson, Eminem, Lady Gaga, Snoop Dogg and T-Pain. “I think Mario saved

a lot of us… I probably would have been dead or locked up easily.” On Friday (Sept. 18), the Akon, who was named one of Forbes 40 Most Powerful Celebrities in Africa in 2011, will be performing at Diana Krall Plaza along with Karl Wolf and BAE. Akon is currently on tour across Canada promoting his upcoming album, Stadium, which is his first since 2008.

“If I had to make a choice between doing a promo run in New York and in Canada, Canada will always be the first choice because the people here are more diverse and open to international music,” he said. The Dangerous singer will release the first part of Stadium via an application. “An app was the best way to release a five-part

album at the same time simultaneously to where the fans would now get rewarded for what they do most, which is support me and listen to my music,” Akon said. By listening to music on the app, fans can collect ‘Akoins’ which can be used to unlock the other albums. “The way I set it up on the app is the more you listen, the more opportunities you get

to gain Akoins to be able to unlock the other albums,” he said. S t a d i u m features music in a wide variety of genres including hiphop, pop and house. “I wanted to create a series of albums that would pretty much highlight every genre that I was successful in,” Akon said. Akon was born in Missouri and lived in West Africa and New Jersey. “Growing up in Africa I didn’t have electricity as a child,” he said. Last year, Akon along with Thione Niang and Samba Bathily, cocreated Akon Lighting Africa, a project that aims to bring electricity to over 600 million people in Africa. “When I came back to [Africa] after the success I realized the same neighbourhood, which I came up under was still in the same situation. Still no lights, still no clean water something had to be done about it,” Akon said. See ‘PROJECT’ /11

Musicians to perform Project will educate locals When The Houserockers drummer Kevin (Bud) Marcy looks back at his career in music, he’s happy with where it has taken him. “I actually had a really good ride,” Marcy said. On Thursday (Sept. 17) Marcy’s band will be performing with Ashley Pants, Christopher Tate, Lindsay Martell, Ian Perry and Bill Smith as part of his 60th birthday celebration at the Queen’s. The event is a partial fundraiser for the Nanaimo Blues Society. Born in Alberta, Marcy began his career in music 40 years ago after successfully auditioning as a drummer for the Canadian Sweethearts. Marcy then spent six years as a drummer with Buddy Knox and the Party Dolls and relocated to the United States. Marcy returned to Alberta after flipping a coin and quickly found himself as a member of the Silver Mountain Band. “If the coin was heads I was going to go to Vegas ... and if it was tails I was going to go back to Canada and visit my family and it came up tails,” he said. Marcy later joined another band, Kidd Country, where he was the drummer for 10 years, picking up two CCMA Awards. “I was so surprised. I was so shocked,” Marcy said about the first time Kidd Country won a CMMA for Entertainers of the Year. Today, Marcy lives in Nanaimo and continues to perform with The Houserockers. The Houserockers perform at 8 p.m. Tickets are $10 at the door. For more information, please call 250-7541015.

So far the project is in more than 10 African nations and will be expanding next year to include an additional 13 nations. “I couldn’t believe no one ever took the steps to actually do it, because not only is it a great business for electricity in all parts of Africa, but it is so necessary for the people to even survive and build infrastructure,” Akon said. As part of the Akon Lighting Africa

project, the Smack That singer has created the Solar Academy, a Malibased school that will provide valuable training in the areas of technology and engineering to locals. “All of the contracts that we sign in all of the countries are going to need a lot of manpower. So the best way was to get Africans who know their territory better than anybody, train them to be able to maintain the equipment

and install it at the same time,” Akon said. “Not only will they be doing some creative and productive work for their community, but they will also be raising money to be able to communicate and be in a position to feed their families.” Akon performs on Friday night. The show includes a beer garden and begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are $45-$55. For more information, call 250-7546751. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

When Patricia Mansell heads out into nature, she’s on a mission. She is looking for something worth shooting. “I am hunting for certain animals,” Mansell said. Once the Nanaimoite has found the specific animal she’s looking for, which can range from geese to ducks to surf scoters, she takes aim. “When I come across it I am watching it closely,” Mansell said. But Mansell isn’t looking through the scope of a rifle or down the barrel of a shotgun, she’s looking through the viewfinder of a camera. “That’s part of the enjoyment,” she said. “You get into the bird itself and you get into the environment of it.” By photographing animals in their nature surroundings, Mansell is then able to portray them in paintings. “I am never looking at a blank canvas,” she said. “I am always looking at it as a finished piece.”

Patricia Mansell and her exhibit, Feathers, are being featured this month at the Art 10 Gallery at Nanaimo North Town Centre.

Mansell is this month’s featured artist at the Art 10 Gallery, which is located inside Nanaimo North Town Centre. Her exhibit, titled Feathers, features nine paintings of birds in their natural habitat. “Animals specifically draw me because they are the heartbeat of nature,” she said. Mansell was born in Kent, United Kingdom and moved to Alberta in 1981 and began painting in 1994. “I never had the opportunity to be involved in art,” Man-

Her work has exhibited throughout Alberta and she is a signature member of the Federation of Canadian Artists and the Artists for Conservation, a Canadian non-profit organization that represents more than 500 artists including Robert Bateman and promotes wildlife conservation through art and education.

The Nanaimo Clippers got pretty much what they would have expected, starting the season on the road against the Powell River Kings – close, hard-fought hockey games. The Clips won one and lost one to start the B.C. Hockey League season, beating the Kings 2-1 in the season opener Saturday and then getting edged 3-2 in the following afternoon’s rematch. “I thought the first game, we were great,” said Blake Clement, Clippers assistant coach. “We were physical, a lot of energy, it was a pretty good hockey game and it wasn’t that sloppy for the first game of the year.” His team was down 1-0 after the first period of that one, but got secondperiod goals from Charley Borek and D.J. Petruzzelli and first-star goaltending from Jonathan Reinhart. S u n d a y ’s re m a t c h went a little differently, with the Clippers twice tying the game before the Kings managed the game-winner in the third period. Newly named Clippers captain Devin Brosseau had a goal and an assist, Yanni Kaldis also scored and Sheldon Rempal had two assists. Reinhart

made 31 saves in defeat. Clement felt his team regressed a little bit with its structure on Sunday. “It was kind of disappointing,” Clement said. “I thought we’d improve after our first game, but it’s early in the year and we have a few new guys in the lineup, so you’ve got to expect those things.” The Shipmen were able to score their goals in different ways the first weekend. “Our forecheck is going to be important this year,” the assistant coach said. “We used it [to score] a couple times and retrieved pucks and had guys in the slot and got the puck off quick. If we’re supporting the puck in the offensive end and have a lot of bodies around the puck, we’re going to create a lot of offence.” With some regular-season games under their belt now, the Clippers will have a better idea of some things they want to work on this week leading up to their first game at Frank Crane Arena. “Everyone’s excited for the home opener,” Clement said. “It’s always an exciting atmosphere for everyone, including the fans. So hopefully we prepare properly and come out and have a really good performance.” GAME ON … The Clippers play the Victoria Grizzlies on Friday (Sept. 18) at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena.

The V.I. Raiders were beaten in the backfield by the Okanagan Sun. The Raiders fell 28-7 to the Sun in B.C. Football Conference play on Sunday at Kelowna’s Apple Bowl stadium. The Sun recorded a BCFC record 13 sacks in the game and limited the Raiders to just 80 yards of total offence, but despite that, the contest was close much of the way, 14-7 at one point in the third quarter. “We played them tough, the guys battled hard,” said Jerome Erdman, Raiders coach. “A couple things went off the rails for a little bit, but hey, Okanagan’s a great footbal team, they’ve got great athletes, they’re very well coached. Right now they’re better than us.” Erdman said Okie’s front seven outmuscled V.I. to create pressure. “We’re lacking a little bit of a consistency on offensive line, we’ve had a couple injuries, not that it’s an excuse…” the coach said. “And

VIU teams over-excited

MARINERS SOCCER sides get started; men tie and women lose. BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN

The home teams weren’t able to get a goal as the PacWest season got underway. The Vancouver Island University Mariners men’s and women’s soccer teams hosted the Quest Kermodes on Wednesday in Pacific Western Athletic Association action at Merle Logan Field. The M’s women lost 1-0 and the men tied 1-1. “We battled, they definitely came to play as well,” said Chris Arnett, one of the captains of the VIU men. “We weren’t good enough in front of goal today. The chances were there, we just couldn’t put them away.” Scott Brown earned the shutout and newcomer Rene Bieberdorf was man of the match, dominating his side of the pitch. Bill Merriman, coach of the VIU men, liked his team’s pace, but said the squad needed to play with more composure. “The first game, everybody was pretty excited, pretty hyped and you could tell we were maybe

working a little too hard when we didn’t need to,” he said. “We could’ve just made simple passes and we didn’t.” First-game jitters were also a storyline in the women’s match. “With us being the champs, in the first game there was going to be a lot of nerves, the expectations were high,” said coach Anup Kang. “We came out and we were very, very nervous in the first half … and then settled down.” His team controlled the play in the second half. “We were unlucky we couldn’t get the goal back,” Kang said. “We had some really good chances, a couple of open nets.” The Mariners teams continued their busy start to the season on the Lower Mainland on the weekend. The men tied 1-1 with the Langara Falcons on Saturday and shut out the Capilano Blues 1-0 on Sunday. VIU’s women were 3-1 winners at Langara but were shut out 1-0 by Cap the following afternoon. GAME ON … The Mariners soccer teams visit the Douglas Royals on Saturday (Sept. 19) and then the Kwantlen Eagles on Sunday. Next home action for VIU’s soccer teams is Sept. 26, when the Falcons stop by Merle Logan Field for games at 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Shima building a new dojo

KARATE SCHOOL will have double the size for classes.

Shima Karate will be able to fit twice as much action into its new dojo. The karate school is getting ready to start construction on a new dojo on Norwell Drive,

close to its current Departure Bay Road location. “Everyone’s always saying, ‘Your dojo’s getting too full.’ So we’re finally doing something about it,” said Kurt Nordli, Shima Karate sensei. There is a house on the Norwell Drive property that will be torn down this month, and construction of the new facility will begin in October.

At 4,000 square feet, there will be twice the space for karate, said Nordli, plus apartments above including a guest suite for visiting senseis from Japan, for example. It’s a project 27 years in the making, Nordli said. “It’s the lifelong dream of a sensei.” The dojo is expected to open in March.

Shima Karate student Braeden Jury, middle, trains under the direction of sensei Kurt Nordli at the Departure Bay Road dojo earlier this summer. The News BulleTiN

Experts’ Advice

There are of course pros and cons to taking to the birth control pill (BCP) that I always like to discuss with my patients. Despite some of the cons, it is an effective form of birth control and in the U.S there are currently over 9 million women on the BCP. Naturopathically, one of the things I would look at are certain nutrient depletions that occur as the drug is metabolized. These nutrients include folic acid, magnesium, vitamins B2, B6, B12 and zinc. As such, a multivitamin may be helpful in replenishing a small amount of these losses, but I would encourage a more individualized approach with the use of more therapeutic doses if/as needed. For example, a consult and blood test could be done to analyze these potential deficiencies and then a custom program could be created that best suits the patient. Naturopathic consults are covered by most extended health care plans.

Is there any way I can get legal advice from a lawyer without paying for a full retainer?

What are the most important factors in helping my child have a successful school year?

LAURA ALLEN & KARA DUNCAN

While full representation is usually best, there are other options. “Unbundled” is a term used to describe legal services that are broken down into discrete tasks as a way of lowering the cost of litigation and improving access to justice. Lawyers are able to provide assistance with one, but not necessarily all, aspects of a legal matter, and the client represents themselves for other parts. This could mean that you hire a lawyer to draft documents for you, do legal research for you, or help you plan your trial strategy. This arrangement has become particularly popular in family law. Please contact us for more information. NOTE: THIS INFORMATION IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE, AND YOU SHOULD NOT RELY ON IT AS SUCH. TO ENSURE YOUR INTERESTS ARE PROTECTED, FORMALLY SEEK THE ADVICE OF A LAWYER.

Pain in the sole of the foot or the bottom of the heel is often due to plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the membrane on the DR. KAREN MATTERN bottom of the foot and its insertion into the bones of the foot. It usually is worse with standing and walking and often is sharp when first getting up in the morning. The most common causes are uneven joint movement in the pelvis or the bones in the spine, and faulty foot mechanics. Such problems can be detected by your family chiropractor and corrected to normalize weight distribution on the foot. In some cases, your chiropractor may recommend custom orthotics to correct weaknesses or abnormalities in the alignment of the foot itself. If you have foot pain, check with a chiropractor to determine the cause and the best approach to correcting it. For more information call our office at 250-758-7022 or email drkarin@shaw.ca

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

Denturist ARE YOU TIRED OF EATING ONLY THE FOODS YOU CAN, NOT THE FOODS YOU WANT?

Too often this question is answered with a resounding MICHELLE ALLAN “Yes”, both by denture wearers and those with missing NELSON BOOS DD RD natural teeth. In addition, there is frequently a lack of confidence and a great deal of embarrassment due to missing natural teeth, broken and ill-fitting dentures and the inability to eat certain foods. The limited food choices available for those unable to chew properly includes overly processed foods with inadequate nutritional value and very few manageable options for fruits, vegetables and proteins - like meat or nuts. A restrictive diet results in poor nutrition which can lead to a multitude of health issues – including heartburn/acid reflux, obesity, gastrointestinal issues and more – which can significantly affect the quality of your life. By visiting a denturist, the solution to your chewing dilemma is easier to solve than you might think. A denturist uses a team approach to find the right solutions for you. Our goal is to meet your Personal and unique needs, and as such, will work in collaboration with other important members of the dental communitylike your dentist, oral surgeon and other specialists. At Pacific Denture Centre laboratory work is performed on the premises by the denturist who sees you and other members of our team, thus, ensuring the quality of care is customized and personal. Customized denture treatments leading to properly fitting and functioning dentures can improve your oral health, which impacts your overall health, and of course your smile!

1. Plan to volunteer at school. There are many AMBER SCOTCHBURN BSW, B.Ed opportunities with various time commitments. Research shows that students whose parents volunteer at school thrive. 2. Arrange a back to school special sleep over or celebration and play dates throughout the year. 3. When scheduling extra-curricular activities have it based on quality, not quantity and on their interests! If finances are a concern, use free community resources like the library that have clubs (i.e. lego clubs) that meet regularly. Or, source out scholarships that pay for such programming. 4 Maintain open lines of communication with the school. Ask the teacher whether their preference would be email or using the school agenda. 5. Discuss what your after school routine is going to consist of touching on homework set up and completion, lunch bag emptying, snacks, dinner prep, and rules around media. Making learning easy.

Absolutely. There are a number of different drainage options that can eliminate the accumulation of water in your yard and ensure your crawl space remains dry. A simple ditch to direct the flow of water away from the troubled spot may be the solution in some yards. In others, the installation of buried drain pipe bedded in drain rock will catch the accumulation of water and discharge it safely away before it causes damage. These systems require proper design to avoid causing drainage problems in another area of your yard. Additional waterproofing of your house foundation can be accomplished by sealing the exterior concrete with a waterproofing membrane, along with upgrading your house perimeter drains which are designed to keep the foundation dry. A properly drained yard and foundation will provide you with the assurance of staying dry. Now is the time to tackle these repairs as the rainy season is just around the corner. VI OUTDOOR offers complimentary drainage assessments and solutions for your home, yard, and business.

Hypnotherapy Can a hypnotist have control over me?

A quick answer is no not at all. A hypnotist can never get you to do anything that is against TRACY L. THOMPSON your own set of values and beliefs. Many assume however, that stage hypnotists are in control because they get people to act very outrageous and funny. The truth is that every person chosen by a stage hypnotist is a willing volunteer and is willing to do these crazy things because they want to be a part of the entertainment so that everyone will have a good laugh. Because every person in a hypnotic state determines their own level of participation in the process the hypnotist usually acts only as a guide and you are always in control and aware of what is happening. So hypnosis can be used to create any change you want, but only when a person is genuinely ready for that change. Whenever a person is in a hypnotic state suggestion may be used to strengthen positive messages and weaken or neutralize negative messages that are already in your subconscious mind. This makes it possible to effect a permanent change in you but only when you are ready to make those changes.

Unfortunately I hear this day and day out. I’ve written on this subject many times in this column and many more on my website. Check out www.johnsbedrooms.com and click on my blog. The bad news it’s unlikely that you can fix it. Many of our mattresses have separate toppers on them you could try one of those and see it if helps. If it doesn’t you can come back and look at the rest of the mattress. That way you at least haven’t wasted any money on the topper. No flip mattresses just don’t work.

If it’s done correctly, a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) or The Free Home Evaluation TIMTIM WAITWAIT P.R.E.C. can be the next best thing to an appraisal in approximating the value of a property. The purpose of the CMA is to analyze data from properties similar to the subject property that has sold recently in order to project the realistic price at which the subject property would sell. I’m not an appraiser, but what I’ve always done is make upward and downward adjustments to the projected value of the subject property based on features and characteristics of the comparables I use. Some are based on “gut” feelings while other adjustments come about through rules of thumb I have developed from experience. Putting a value on real estate is an inexact science at best, and this methodology has worked pretty well for me over the years. I use a completely different method for projecting the value of land and property with residential development potential. How can you tell if the CMA you’ve been given is worth more than the piece of paper it’s written on? Call me at 713-1223 or email tim@timwait.com and I will let you know.

How can I stop a wage garnishment?

Aside from settling with the creditor or paying off the debt, there are two methods GARETH SLOCOMBE, CA, CIRP under the Bankruptcy & Insolvency Act to get immediate relief from a wage garnishee. One is to file for bankruptcy and the other is to file a proposal to creditors. The proposal option is usually preferable if you have the ability to continue to make some reasonable payment to creditors. Once a proposal or bankruptcy is commenced all wage garnishees and wage assignments cease, even garnishees from Canada Revenue Agency. The only type of garnishee which continues is a garnishee for maintenance or support under the Family Maintenance Enforcement Program. Since this type of debt survives a bankruptcy, the garnishee is not released in respect of post bankruptcy earnings. Licensed Trustee in Insolvency & Restructuring

In July 2015, Statistics Canada released results of a 2012/2013 Canadian Health JEFF CAMPBELL, RHIP Measures Survey among Canadians aged twenty to seventy nine. The prevalence of measured hearing loss rose with age from around 10% among people under age fifty to 65% at ages seventy to seventy nine. This study excluded people over eighty, ages at which hearing loss is even more common. Canadian hearing care professionals recommend a base line hearing evaluation by the age of fifty and periodic hearing tests thereafter. Identifying and treating hearing loss sooner rather than later means better treatment outcomes. Call us today for a complimentary hearing evaluation.

How prevalent is hearing loss in Canada? ■

Problems with our feet can be scary because the pain and difficulty walking may threaten our lifestyle and our livelihood. Often, problems DR. KATIA LANGTON can be corrected with simple, straight forward solutions. Heel pain often falls into two categories; Heel Spur Syndrome or Plantar Fasciitis. If your pain is worse when your heel hits the ground, worse after long periods of standing and worse at the end of the day; you may have a traumatized heel fat pad and have the beginnings of a heel spur. If your pain is worse in the morning, worse when you lift the heel and worse when you stretch the plantar fascia ligament; you may have Plantar Fasciitis. These are treated differently; so ask questions, get explanations and understand your diagnosis. At Island Pedorthic FootCare, our goal is to keep you on your feet, active and moving. Simple walking will help manage the five common causes of pain and suffering over the age of 50; Heart Disease, High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Obesity, Osteoarthritis. Lets fight these problems on the ground, standing and walking! Give us a call today to take a step towards painfree living.

SHARON FAUCHON,

That is mostly true and though you used to be able KRISTA VERHIEL to refinance up to 95% of your homes value to take out equity for debt consolidation, renovations, a divorce payout, investments or anything else you wanted, you’re right that has changed. However; there are two exceptions. The first exception is if the funds are for renovations then we can do a refinance plus improvements. Though we still can’t go above 80% of the “after renovation value” of that home you are not capped at 80% of its current value and this warrants a discussion to explain further. The second exception is if you are buying a family member out of a home you both own. For example a divorce ad you need to pay out your soon to be ex husband or wife from the equity or a parent who co-signed for a child and now the child wants to refinance and pay the parent out or siblings….. then you can refinance to 95%. Again this warrants a discussion and you should call and start asking us questions, that’s what we are here for! We look forward to discussing your needs with you and trying to find a solution.
