Bus fleet replaced with compressed natural gas models

larger fleet, something Pearce said is a separate project that will be done in 2016. “We currently have two compressors right now, but we’ve done an analysis and we’ll need an additional compressor,” said Pearce. “The compressors are estimated at about $590,000.” The diesel buses will either be transferred to another B.C. Transit bus system, if they have service life left, or likely sent to the scrap yard, he said. With the new buses, Regional District of Nanaimo Transit’s fleet will be 100 per cent compressed natural gas fuelled.

DISTRICT COUNCIL approves recommendation to replace well at an estimated $250,000. BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THE NEWS BULLETIN

A new blueprint to map out a water connection to Nanaimo is among the “first real, concrete actions” to increase Lantzville’s water supply in decades, according to Lantzville Coun. Bob Colclough. Increasing water supply has been a community priority to address issues of stagnant growth and contaminated private wells, but no clear course had been taken a year after Lantzville signed a deal with Nanaimo to connect homes with city water. On Monday, politicians unanimously agreed to a wellfield study recommendation to replace a well, estimated to cost $250,000. Combined with the potential redevelopment of three other wells for which council agreed to budget, the district could get an additional 400 cubic metres of water a day from its system. In a 5-2 vote, it also opted for detailed designs for a water connection to Nanaimo, despite concern by councillors Denise Haime and John Coulson the action is premature. Coulson said council agreed to a workshop where it will talk about water problems, options and plans. He doesn’t believe it’s wise to spend money on detailed designs when council hasn’t decided if and when it’s going to use the Nanaimo connection. He also pointed to the wellfield study as well as previous options that were in front of council years ago and would like at least a cursory review. “A detailed engineering design they give you everything, it’s how big a hole you’re digging in the ground, how deep the pipe’s going, how you’re back filling it, compacting it.” See ‘WELL’ /4

The Regional District of Nanaimo board will not have to pay full price for a new set of compressed natural gas buses. At their meeting last week, regional district directors voted to replace 24 diesel buses with compressed natural gas counterparts, and while each has a price tag of about $643,000, assistance from Fortis B.C. and B.C. Transit, Regional District of Nanaimo Transit’s funding partner, will mean the regional district will only be on the hook for about $332,000 per bus. Daniel Pearce, regional district transit operations manager, said the

buses will be paid for with a costsharing structure that will see B.C. Transit covering 47 per cent of the cost and the regional district 53 per cent. Additionally, Fortis B.C. has a program that will help cover 50 per cent of the increase of cost due to increase in production. According to Pearce, that cost is $40,000 and $20,000 per bus will be covered by Fortis. It is anticipated the buses will arrive by early next year and would be included in the 2017 budget, said Pearce. Before buses arrive, a new compressor, which converts natural gas to bus fuel, will have to be added to the fuelling station to accommodate the

Inbrief Groups transfer land city scene

Orange shirts mark legacy Members of Nanaimo school district board and staff wore orange T-shirts at their Sept. 30 meeting to recognize the damage done to aboriginal students at residential schools. The day was designated Orange Shirt Day in Canada. Steve Rae, school board chairman, said residential schools represent a dark chapter in Canada’s history and the school district is committed to recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which examined allegations of incidents that happened at residential schools and the negative effect on students. According to Anna Tenning, district viceprincipal of aboriginal education, the day has its origins with a student who had an orange shirt confiscated on her first day at a residential school.

NaNaimo rivEr area remains under care of land conservancy. By Karl yu The NewS BulleTiN

Nanaimo River Regional Park is among 26 conservation properties involved in a land transfer between two nature conservation groups. The Land Conservancy is dealing with multimillion-dollar debt and the $1.5-million land transfer to the Nature Conservancy of Canada secures protection for the properties, which were at risk due to the financial difficulties, said Lesley Neilson, nature conservancy’s B.C. spokeswoman. The 57-hectare site is along the Nanaimo River and Neilson said it’s the last remaining intact riparian area along the river. “The main feature of it is the old-growth Douglas fir forest,” said Neilson. “That’s a really important ecosystem in B.C. It’s actually one of the most endangered ecosystems in B.C. because there’s not a lot of it ...

it’s been heavily impacted by development. “That’s a real focus for our conservation group and many conservation groups along the coast, it’s very important in that way.” Neilson also said the property is on a flood plain and that is an important interaction of the water and the land and nutrient exchange. It has salmon values as well. The Nature Conservancy of Canada hasn’t decided what to do with the land, said Neilson. “One of the first steps we have to do going forward with all of these sites is to take a close look at them and develop property management plans for them based on their specific conservation values,” Neilson said. The nature conservancy will decide which of the properties to keep and which to transfer to the Nature Trust of B.C., a similar-minded conservation group, Neilson said. The land is leased to the Regional District of Nanaimo, which manages the park and that arrangement will continue, she said. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

“It’s detailed construction plans,” Coulson said. “We don’t need that yet.” Colclough, who made the three-part motion on water, said well improvements will get the district partway toward having enough water to build out the official community plan. The next step would be to connect to the City of Nanaimo for additional supply and the design work will allow the district to know exactly what’s entailed, an accurate cost estimate and ready them to put the work out to tender. “I campaigned, as did a number of the other councillors that got elected in the by-election ... on fixing the problem and getting on with it and that’s what we’re doing,” said Colclough. A timeline has not been determined for detailed design work.

Lantzville begins search Inbrief for part-time fire chief Ideal Weight Loss city scene

The search is about to get underway for Lantzville’s new fire chief. Lantzville district council unanimously agreed to recruit a paid part-time fire chief, a change for a community that’s previously relied on volunteerism. The decision comes after fire chief Tom Whipps announced plans to retire from his post earlier this year and a subsequent department review that recommended the district transition from a volunteer chief position with an annual honorarium to a paid part-time position. The status quo isn’t sustainable and the current hono-

rarium of $18,000 a year isn’t enough to attract qualified candidates, the review showed. It was anticipated the new fire chief position would increase the job’s annual budget to $55,000. A recent council report shows a salary scale will be developed that reflects the fire department review and dollars will be drawn from general revenue. The position will be posted within the organization and externally with the goal to hire the right person as quickly as possible, according to Lantzville’s chief administrative officer Brad McRae. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Charges approved in drug bust Crown counsel has approved charges against two people in relation to a Sept. 22 drug bust. According to Nanaimo RCMP, Jay Paul Guzina, 38, and Misty Nickol Potzkai, 31, of Nanaimo have each been charged with two counts of possession of fentanyl and

cocaine for the purpose of trafficking. Guzina and Potzkai will be making their next appearances in court on Nov. 17 and were among those arrested in an investigation by RCMP Projects and Street Crimes Unit. A search was conducted on a vehicle and residence on

Bowen Road, which yielded 87 grams of fentanyl and 61 grams of crack cocaine. The estimated street value of the drugs was $30,000. Charges are pending against two others related to the incident, RCMP said.

Armed robbery suspect caught

Nanaimo Mounties believe they have their man in connection with the armed robbery of a Domino’s pizza restaurant on Norwell Drive in July. The suspect, a 34-year-old Nanaimo man, was arrested Thursday. Police had been looking for a suspect who was described as walking with a distinct waddle. A search of his residence also turned up a pellet gun believed used in the robbery. The suspect, whose identity will not be released until he is formally charged, was held in custody to appear in Nanaimo provincial court to face a recommended charge of robbery with a firearm.

There is more to Visceral Fat than just making your jeans fit a little tight. Many things are linked to visceral fat, naming a few, Cancer, Stroke, Dementia, Depression and Sleep disorders. Visceral Fat acts like its own organ pumping out hormones that interfere with hormones that control appetite, weight and mood. Why is this a problem? Because, at the core of your weight control is the hormone insulin, Insulin balances blood sugar levels after we have eaten a meal that is high in carbohydrates. As these simple sugars enter our bloodstream, the pancreas releases insulin. This process provides us energy for brain and muscular function. Insulin also corresponds with the body storing fat, including the visceral fat stored within our bodies. This is where insulin gets the name “fat storage hormone”. This process happens a lot faster when we consume carbohydrates and sugary foods, like white bread, white rice, and donuts, resulting in weight gain and increased hunger. While for us, creating a cycle that includes overeating and the craving of sugary type foods. Pharmasave is dedicated to helping you lose those extra pounds, through the Ideal Protein weight loss method. With Ideal Protein you will no longer produce too much Insulin (fat storage hormone). But lose weight quickly safely and with the support you need. Contact our committed professional staff and start your journey today.

With Rutherford Elementary among Nanaimo district schools under consideration for closure, school advocates staged a simulation to demonstrate traffic impact Thursday. Under a school district proposal, Rutherford would close July 2017 and Frank J. Ney Elementary would be expanded to accommodate students. Operation Hammond Bay Highway saw parents from the Rutherford Open and Thriving group drive to Frank Ney to give an idea what it would be like with the increased enrolment. The group estimated an additional 100 cars per day could be entering the Frank Ney school site if the plan is

implemented. “It’s been proposed that Frank Ney school have its population doubled. The bulk of the new students would be coming from Rutherford, so we wanted to see what it would look like to transport those kids on a regular school day to the other school,” said Tina Bray, Rutherford Open and Thriving spokeswoman. Approximately 60 drivers took part, Bray said. According to Dale Burgos, school district spokesman, Frank J. Ney school officials said traffic wasn’t much different than usual. “Obviously there [were] more cars that had come through Frank J. Ney parking lot, but everything went smoothly,” said Burgos. “Everybody worked together quite nicely and moved through fairly quickly.” Consultation on school closure for Rutherford will take place on Thursday (Oct. 8) at the school and Bray said members of the group are

feeling frustrated that information has been slow in coming in the first three weeks of consultation. But Burgos said the school district has posted answers on its website to questions received between June and Sept. 15. “[Friday we posted] questions we’ve been receiving specifically for Rutherford between Sept. 15 and Sept. 30, so we just needed a couple of days to gather all the questions and put them onto one sheet,” said Burgos. He said information packages about schools, including Rutherford, were made available Friday at www.sd68. bc.ca. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

The union doesn’t see the need to add another year of evaluation to the decision around in-house parking, according to the head of CUPE Local 401. Nanaimo city council decided last week to ask the Canadian Union of Public Employees to extend an in-house parking trial, with politicians not yet ready to commit to permanent employees. A letter of understanding for an interim parking service expires Dec. 31.

Blaine Gurrie, president of CUPE local 401, said council has had three years to evaluate the in-house parking option and by all measures it’s been quite successful. The union doesn’t see the need to add a fourth year of evaluation to the decision. “The workers in these positions have waited a long time for a resolution of this issue and we think it should be an easy decision based on the reports we have seen,” he said in an e-mail.

EDITORIAL

Strategically or not, vote

Canadians are lucky, in many ways, when it comes to our electoral system, because we get to make choices. We can choose to vote for something we want. But we can also choose to vote ‘strategically,’ that is to say, vote against something we don’t want. The concept of strategic voting will have some part to play in this month’s federal election. It comes with a multi-party, first-past-the-post electoral system. It’s difficult to say what impact strategic voting will have in NanaimoLadysmith, for a couple of reasons. The latest polls have shown enough separation locally that voters can be reasonably confident their ballot won’t ‘split the vote,’ though we know, at the same time, that polls can be unreliable. Another consideration is the redrawn electoral boundaries. NanaimoLadysmith doesn’t have a voting history, because it’s a brand-new riding. ‘Votesplitting’ could be a major factor here, or it could have a minimal impact, and that sense of unknown might lead to people voting strategically, just in case. Some would argue that strategic voting is contradictory to the tenets of democracy. We don’t believe that to be true. Individual voters have the right to decide how they want to vote, and why they want to vote that way, for their personal reasons. If voting against a particular party – rather than voting for their preferred party – will get them closer to what they want, then maybe, for some Canadians, that’s enough. And as for those who vote for what they want, and demand the very best Canada and won’t compromise and don’t have a second choice, how could anyone argue that those people are wasting their vote? Because here’s the thing about strategic voting. Sure, it ensures we’re not ‘wasting’ our vote. But really, the only wasted votes are the ones that never get cast.

PM Harper rules as if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dictator time to read and listen to the promises and the accusations, and then make up my mind. Why would I vote for any party that wants to get my vote fraudulently? I would urge all voters to use their right to vote, however, each voter should do so based on information, not what has been fed to you in print and/or over the airwaves. Voting has consequences, and one consequence should be that parties realize that deception is not the way to form a democracy.

To the Editor,

Canadians are making up their minds about which candidate to choose. If our democracy is of any value to them, surely they would reject the Conservatives. In his book, Party of One, Michael Harris provides compelling evidence that Stephen Harper has taken all the power in the office of the prime minister to advance his own vision of what is best for Canadians. He does this without consultation with his cabinet ministers or caucus and he certainly doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t invite ideas from the public service or the opposition leaders. Harper believes that Harper knows best. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recall a single law the Conservatives have enacted that look like a wise move to me. Most of the time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m furious. Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s omnibus bills, in which he stacks dozens of proposed laws into one dense package and then imposes a time limit on debate drew criticism from Sheila Fraser, the former Auditor General. Do we want a dictator as our prime minister?

Re: Election polling a numbers game, Editorial, Sept. 29. If polls accurately predicted results, we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to hold elections.

The NDP has been handing out pamphlets using â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;back thenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 2011 polling results to indicate a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;right nowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; twoparty race between the NDP and Conservatives. Is the NDP trying to take advantage of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Harper must goâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; feelings to steer potential Green and/or Liberal votes their way? Difficult to say. No

Prime Minister Stephen Harper speaks at a campaign rally in Abbotsford last month.

Nanaimo-Ladysmith candidates ran in 2011 because â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;back thenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; this riding didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist. Whatever the result, hopefully this election attracts a record number of voters who send a Nanaimo-Ladysmith candidate to Ottawa who will be an effective spokesperson for this riding, not merely a mouthpiece for whatever party they represent.

To the Editor,

Re: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that we vote, for the whole countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake, Letters, Sept. 29. I disagree wholeheartedly with the letter writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generalized impression of the average voter. Many people that we know have intelligent discussions about candidates and parties, discussions based on factual information. Some voters read or hear misinformation, believing it to be true, then make decisions based on well co-ordinated attacks containing mistruths (aka lies) in TV and radio ads. So when I hear and read those mistruths, I often wonder why, indeed do I bother to vote. Yet, I do. I take the

To the Editor,

I have heard enough from the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrong with the Conservativesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; crowd. Always negative, never seeming able to grasp the huge potential of our Island paradise. So here is a sample of the kind of investment in our local future that has been made by the Conservative government: Together with the province, contributed $6.9 million toward Nanaimo Airport expansion. Contributed $4.65 million from the Federal Asia-Pacific Gateway Program to the Nanaimo Port Authorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s international ocean container operation. Nanaimoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pacific Biological Station received $2.9 million. Grants to Nanaimo Volunteer and Information Centre Society, Nanaimo Family Life Association, Tillicum Lelum Aboriginal Friendship Centre, People for a Healthy Community. These investments were made on our behalf by a government which knows how to manage our economy and distribute its dividends right here in Nanaimo. Looks like a winning formula to me, so I am voting Conservative.

Conservatives best choice as party that will defend Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s freedom To the Editor,

Referring to last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debate and the disagreement over one swearing allegiance to Canada with their face covered and the removal of dual citizenship for acts of terrorism, the two opposition parties claimed this was oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to cover their faces

under our charter of rights. I find it hard to believe that they suggested this was part of our religious freedom. This while Holland, Belgium and France along with Turkey, a strict Muslim country, do not allow oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face to be covered in public places at any time. As for the loss

of citizenship, Liberal leader Justin Trudeau referred to the charter. Perhaps he was not aware that the charter allows anyone serving time in a federal prison to vote in federal elections if the are Canadian citizens even if they are serving life for murder or terrorism. This terrorist got

everything to protect from terrorism. The great thing about freedom is you can vote for the party of your choice and should it win no one will riot in the streets demanding change. My vote will be for protecting our freedom and I will vote Conservative.

Society supports refugee process

groupS WorkiNg to bring syrians to Canada. By Nicholas Pescod The news BulleTin

The ongoing civil war in Syria has forced millions to flee the country in search of a better life. And with no end to the civil war in sight, a handful of groups in the Harbour City are hoping to bring refugees to the Island. Central Vancouver Island Multicultural Society executive director Hilde Schlosar says those who want to sponsor a refugee should do so with an existing group, such as a church. “We suggest that you get involved with a group that exists already and help them as part of the sponsorship group or their wider volunteer and fundraising needs,” she said. According to Schlosar, there are more than five groups within the Nanaimo region that are working toward sponsoring a refugee, including Brechin United Church. Schlosar says people should contact the society, which will then put them in touch with one of the numerous groups

involved in sponsoring a refugee. “There are quite a number of groups that already exist ... and if they are interested in joining a sponsorship group or starting their own group, they can connect with us and we will connect them with the groups.” Sponsoring a refugee is a complicated and time-consuming process. Under the Canadian Private Sponsorship of Refugees Program there are three main types of sponsorships: privately sponsored, joint assistance sponsorship and government assisted.

Quickfacts CENTrAL VANCouVEr iSLAND Multicultural society provides guidance in sponsoring refugees. Visit www.cvims.org.

Groups of five or more Canadian citizens or permanent residents, who are over the age of 18, can sponsor refugees through the private-sponsored program. Legally, sponsors or sponsorship groups must commit up to one year of basic financial support and care for a refugee. “It requires a significant amount of money and commitment for a year when they

are here…” she said. “Some sponsorship groups have been waiting as long as a year and a half for their refugee to arrive.” While the financial support can be a daunting task on its own, sponsors need to consider even the smallest details, such as trying to ensure everything from respecting and honouring the refugees’ religious customs to helping them integrate into Canadian society. The multicultural society provides settlement services for refugees. Schlosar says if people don’t want to sponsor a refugee, there are other ways to help out. “There are opportunities for volunteers to assist groups in fundraising and collecting goods and donations for the families when they arrive,” Schlosar said. The society has also established a refugee fund on its website. “The money goes entirely to the families that end up here in our region, Nanaimo and regional district,” Schlosar said. “So none of their money is going overseas and none of it is being spent on administration, but it is actually designated for families.” For more information please visit www.cvims.org. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Nanaimo Museum interpretation curator Aimee Greenaway holds Letters from an Elder Brother and a masthead out front of the Nanaimo Museum. The artifacts are related to Edward Arthur Wilson’s cult, which existed in Cedar during the early 1900s. The museum will hold a history tour focusing on Brother XII.

Museum focuses on cult leader

UPCOMING TOUR explores the life of Vancouver island cult leader edward Arthur wilson. By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN

rom Charles Manson to David Koresh, Jim Jones to Warren Jeffs and Roch Thériault, there have been plenty of cult leaders over the course of history. However, one might be surprised to learn that Nanaimo, more in particular, Cedar, had its very own cult leader. During the 1920s, Edward Arthur Wilson, more commonly known as Brother XII, created a mystic colony on 50 hectares of land in Cedar by the Sea. “He was the leader of the cult,” said Nanaimo Museum interpretation curator Aimee Greenaway. “He had followers who came from England, the East Coast of the United States, all over Canada, to live in his colony and learn from him.” Beginning on Oct. 14, the Nanaimo Museum will be leading a 45-minute walking tour around downtown Nanaimo about Wilson and his cult. “Different pieces of the story come together in downtown,” Greenaway said. “We are going to stop at where his lawyer’s office used to be

because he was tried a few different times.” Other stops downtown include the Great National Land Building, which used to be the location of the bank Wilson used. “One of the things that he did was receive contributions from followers all over North America and Europe,” Greenaway said. “People were sending money to him and so the bank is a pretty important stop.” Wilson’s colony was known as the Aquarian Foundation. Their believes were heavily influenced by the Theosophical Society. Wilson, who was originally from in the United Kingdom, believed that he had a direct connection to ancient Egyptian gods. “He believed that he was getting information from Egyptian gods and that they were giving him information to help rebuild society,” Greenaway said. “They were predicting that there would be a big collapse.” As a result of his teachings, Wilson acquired dozens of loyal followers and plenty of donors. “His followers basically came to him so that they could be part of the rebuilding process,” Greenaway said. The tour will also include artifacts relating to Wilson such as the masthead from his yacht, Lady Rose. “We have artifacts in our collection that came from Brother XII’s colony ... and the museum will be a stop on the tour,” she said.

Book club seeks out mysteries A newly formed book club dedicated to mysteries and thrills will be gathering downtown next week. The Nanaimo Myster y/ Thriller Book Club will meet for the very first time on Oct. 15 at the Vault Café. Club founder MacKenzie Common says she started the group because she has experienced the frustration of having read a great mystery book and having no one to talk about it with. “Often people haven’t read the same ones as you or you want to discuss that great twist with someone and they are not there,” Common said. “You’re trying to always convince people to read the book you read.” The first book selected by members will be In a Dark, Dark, Wood by Ruth Ware. Common, who recently moved to Nanaimo from England, says

the group will meet roughly once a month and the chosen book will be decided through a nomination system, which will be done on the group’s Meetup. com page. “The first three people who RSVP get to nominate a book,” she said. As the club’s founder, Common will also have the ability to nominate a book, however members will chose the final book through a vote. “It’s totally democratic. Whichever book gets the most votes is the one we will read that month,” Common said. “I thought it would be a good way to ... make people feel like they get to participate in the club decisions.” In order to become a member, people must register for free at www.meetup.com/NanaimoMystery-Thriller-Book-Club.

By the mid 1930s, the Aquarian Foundation experienced friction and eventually dissolved. Around the same time, Wilson was charged with embezzlement and was supposed to appear in a Nanaimo court. “His followers felt like they had their money taken and a group of them took him to court,” Greenaway said. Prior to trial, Wilson blew up his yacht and left the Island. Tours start at 6:30 p.m. and run on Oct. 14, Oct. 21 and Oct. 28 and costs $10.

Symphony offers choirs for youths Rachel SteRN The News BulleTiN

As voices resonate together, a harmony erupts from singers’ lips and becomes a powerful expression of emotion and talent. The Vancouver Island Symphony is inviting people to experience that feeling by participating in Sing with the Symphony this fall. The symphony offers three opportunities to sing: the Grade 5 Fabulous Fives Choir, Symphonic Children’s Choir and VIS Symphonic Choir. The Fabulous Five Choir is open to all Grade 5 students for free. It gives children the chance to learn basics and perform at community events. For Patricia Plumley, symphony choral conductor, seeing youth interested in choral singing is exciting and she loves to guide them through voice development. “It’s completely delightful to see their voices unfold,” Plumley said. The Grade 5 choir rehearses throughout the year and performs at community events in the fall. The Symphonic Children’s Choir is open to Grades 6-8, ages 11-14 and will perform as a guest artist during the symphony’s Carmina Burana show in April. The VIS Symphonic Choir is open to individuals ages 15 and up. Members must audition. The choir is also a guest performer during the Carmina Burana show. People must register for the choirs before Oct. 15. For more information, please call 250754-0177.

DEATHS

H. Linda Johnson 1945-2015

Linda Johnson passed on Saturday September 27th at home surrounded by loved ones after a courageous ďŹ ght against cancer. She is survived by her mother Violet Neil, daughters Fiona and Tiffany, and sister Anne Toderean. Linda was born in Nanaimo in 1945 and began a career teaching elementary school at the age of 19 after completing her teaching certiďŹ cate at the University of Victoria. Her sister Anne, 12 years younger than her, was lucky to be one of her fourth grade students at Departure Bay Elementary School in 1963. Linda had a family with her University sweetheart, David Bowie, and lived overseas in Europe and Saudi Arabia. In 1980, Linda returned to Canada with her daughters and taught at various schools in Nanaimo. The schools she taught at included Hammond Bay Elementary School, Gabriola Elementary School, Princess Royal, Ladysmith Elementary School, and then at Forest Park Elementary for ten years. During this time she met her second husband, Peter Johnson, and the two of them enjoyed building their dream home overlooking Piper's Lagoon, traveling to Mexico frequently, and listening to music together until Peter passed in 2005. Linda retired in 2006 from teaching. She spent much of her time gardening on her patio and cultivating container plants. She made frequent trips to the Seattle/Tacoma area in Washington State to visit with her daughters families and her three grandchildren. Her loyal companion, Quinn, was always close by her side. Linda was loved by the parents, staff and students at the schools she taught at. She will be missed dearly by her family, friends and loved ones. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, the family requests donations can be made to the BC Children's Hospital Foundation. Her heart always went out to all of the young victims of this tenacious disease who deserved a chance at a long healthy life.

Clippers start stringing wins together I BCHL TEAM defeats Alberni, Coquitlam and Vernon. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

The Nanaimo Clippers were able to string wins together for the first time this fall. The Clips won all three of their home games at Frank Crane Arena last week, outscoring the Alberni Valley Bulldogs 7-4 on Wednesday, coming back to beat the Coquitlam Express 4-2 on Friday and then handling the Vernon Vipers 5-2 on Saturday. It’s the first win streak for the Shipmen early in the 2015-16 B.C. Hockey League season. In Saturday’s game, Nanaimo’s league-best power play was again a major factor, going 3-for6. Lucas Finner scored on a penalty shot and Will Reilly, Chris Dodero, Matthew Hoover and Corey Renwick were the other scorers. Devin Brosseau tallied four assists and Jonathan Reinhart made 31 saves for the win. In Friday’s game, Nanaimo got down 2-0, but scored twice in the second period to tie things up and then Edwin Hookenson scored what stood up as the game-winning goal on a point shot early in the third period. “It’s good to see that this early [in the season] we can come back,” Hookenson said. “It shows a lot about our team, I think.” He said the team has confidence that its offence will score goals and that its goaltending will make the comeback possible. That’s what happened Friday, and once the Clippers got the lead, they made it tough on the opposition. “We were pretty stingy defensively,” Hookenson said. “We hardly gave them any shots

after we took that lead, and not a lot of chances. So we really buckled down and we played our systems well in the D zone and even in the offensive zone, forechecked them hard and hardly let them get out of their end.” The first two Clippers goals came on the power play, both in traffic close to the Express crease. Yanni Kaldis and then Hoover scored the goals. “We worked hard to get to the inside and found some pucks around the net and got some screens and so on and so forth,

and that’s what we were looking for,” said Mike Vandekamp, Clippers coach. Sheldon Rempal’s insurance marker late in the third was the goal of the year so far. Brosseau split the Express defence for a partial breakaway and although his stick was slashed out of his hands, he was able to kick the puck over to Rempal, who did the rest, deking out the goalie. Brosseau ended up with two assists on the night and Hoover also tallied two points. Reinhart made 25 saves as shots ended up 46-27.

Last Wednesday was another comeback win, made possible by four power-play goals. Hoover and Rempal scored two goals each and Renwick, Brosseau and Dodero had the others. Reinhart was the winning goalie as shots were 35-33 in favour of the visitors. GAME ON … The Clippers head off on a road trip to the Interior next weekend starting with a game against the Vipers on Friday (Oct. 9). They then take on the Salmon Arm SilverBacks and the Merritt Centennials. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Bedrooms need working smoke alarms

wEEk suPPORTs education on fire prevention.

Location matters when it comes to your smoke alarm. That’s the message behind this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign Hear the Beep Where You Sleep – Every Bedroom Needs a Working Smoke Alarm. Along with firefighters and safety advocates nationwide, Nanaimo Fire Rescue is joining forces with the non-profit National Fire Protection Association during Fire Prevention Week (Oct. 4-10) to remind residents about the importance of having working smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement. In a fire, seconds count. Half of home fire deaths result from fires reported at night between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. when most people are asleep. Home smoke alarms can alert people to a fire before it spreads, giving everyone enough time to get out. According to the latest

News BulletiN file

Firefighter stu kenning assists with the investigation into a fire that heavily damaged a 108-year-old house at 215 Nicol st. in April that displaced six residents.

research from the association, working smoke alarms cut the chance of dying in a fire in half. Meanwhile, three out of five fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. This year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign includes the following smoke alarm messages: u Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of the home, includ-

ing the basement. u Interconnect all smoke alarms throughout the home. This way, when one sounds, they all do. u Test alarms at least monthly by pushing the test button. u Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old or sooner if they don’t respond properly. u Make sure everyone in the home knows the sound of the smoke alarm and understands what to

do when they hear it. u If the smoke alarm sounds, get outside and stay outside. Go to your outside meeting place. u Call the fire department from outside the home. Nanaimo Fire Rescue will be hosting activities during Fire Prevention Week, including an event aimed at earthquake preparedness. The Vancouver Island Regional Library and the City of Nanaimo partnered up to provide a free emergency preparedness information session Wednesday (Oct. 7), 6:308:30 p.m., at the north Nanaimo library location.

Smoke alarms are a key part of a home fire escape plan. When there is a fire, smoke spreads fast. Working smoke alarms give you early warning so you can get outside quickly.

u Install smoke alarms inside and

outside each bedroom and sleeping area. Install alarms on every level of the home. Install alarms in the basement.

u Large homes may need extra smoke alarms. u It is best to use interconnected smoke alarms. When one smoke alarm sounds they all sound. u Test all smoke alarms at least once a month. Press the test button to be sure the alarm is working.

Learn how to stay safe and avoid a fire in your home or business.

u There are two kinds of alarms. Ionization smoke alarms are quicker to warn about flaming fires. Photoelectric alarms are quicker to warn about smoldering fires. It is best to use both types of alarms in the home. u A smoke alarm should be on the ceiling or high on a wall. Keep smoke alarms away from the kitchen to reduce false alarms. They should be at least three metres from the stove. u People who are hard-of-hearing or deaf can use special alarms. These alarms have strobe lights and bed shakers. u Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old.

Establish safety plan to escape house fire I EVacuaTION PlaN can be created in just a few minutes of time.

People rely on fire and smoke detectors to help keep them safe in their homes. Though fire and smoke alarms are effective, a firm fire safety plan that will keep everyone calm should a fire occur could make the difference between life and death. In addition to physical injury and material damage, fires can cause a host of problems. Psychological distress, monetary damages and loss of pets may come with fires. Loss of irreplaceable personal items is also a concern. Although fires can be devastating, they’re also highly preventable, and smoke alarms and a home fire safety plan are two precautionary measures everyone should take. Creating an evacuation plan doesn’t have to be complicated. Such a plan can be established in a few minutes and then reinforced through practice every so often to keep everyone fresh on what to do. Begin by assessing the layout of the home. Figure out the two best exits from the home. If your home doesn’t have two doors, invest in a fire ladder so that one of the windows can be a point of exit. Know how to gain access to the exits, including the best path to take to avoid injury. It’s a good idea to consider a few different

scenarios. A kitchen adjacent to the upstairs staircase may become engulfed in flames and make exit by way of staircase impossible. Just because you have doors to the outside doesn’t mean they’ll present the best type of exit. Sketch out the layout of the home and the escape plan. Smoke can make it difficult to know up from down. Be sure everyone can reach the exits even if vision is obstructed. Try it with your eyes closed. Check fire alarms routinely, and change batteries at least every year. Make sure windows can be easily opened if they are an exit point. Make note of who will be helping children or the elderly out of the home. Establish a place where the family will meet outdoors. This area should be far enough away from the home so that everyone will be safe from smoke, flames and falling debris. Fires may ignite fuel explosions, so be sure the meeting spot is a good deal away. Children should be instructed to run to the meeting spot immediately without waiting behind for anyone to catch up. No one should reenter the home after arriving at the meeting spot. Do a few practice runs so that everyone will be accustomed to getting out quickly. Fire safety is very important. In conjunction with smoke alarms, a fire safety plan can help everyone get out alive.

Having working fire alarms can cut your chance of dying in a fire in half. Install smoke alarms on every storey of your home and test them monthly. News BulletiN file

Being prepared helps reduce risk

ExTINguIsHERs, laddERs contribute to saving lives.

An average of seven Americans die each week as a result of house fires. Most fires occur in residential buildings between the hours of 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., when occupants are most likely to be asleep. Your first line of defence is fire preparedness. Here are five things you can do to increase your chance of survival in a fire: u Install smoke alarms on every storey of your home and outside sleeping areas. Be sure to test them monthly, clean them every six months and replace batteries in spring and fall. Having working fire alarms can cut your

chance of dying in a fire in half. u Have a fire escape plan for your family and practice it. A small fire can spread rapidly – you may only have minutes or seconds to escape. When going over the details of your escape plan, check windows and doors to ensure all open easily. Know your local emergency number – 911. Never stop to gather belongings or re-enter a home after safely outside. u When renovating, consider using fire-rated, non-combustible products. Your choice of insulation, for example, can be vital. Stone wool insulation resists temperatures up to approximately 1,177 C. When directly exposed to fire, it will not off-gas, contribute to toxic smoke or promote flames. Fire-resistant building materi-

als can give you extra time to escape when seconds count. u Purchase a multi-use fire ladder for each bedroom in your home and practise using it. A fire ladder may be your only escape option if flames block critical exits. u Place fire extinguishers on every level of your home, especially in high-risk areas like the kitchen, near fireplaces and in the garage. Use only for small, contained fires that are not spreading rapidly. Know how to operate your extinguisher before an emergency occurs using the PASS method: pull pin, aim low, squeeze lever and sweep from side to side. The safest option is always to evacuate your home and call for help. Fire prevention measures are a serious matter. Find out how to keep your home and family safe at nfpa.org.
