Council debates recording tools

Ballot business

Dawne Anderson, Salvation Army envoy, grabs some fresh air with her morning coffee while greeting voters Monday morning. The Salvation Army Community Church on Eighth Street, one of Nanaimo’s polling sites for the 2015 federal election, saw a steady stream of voters come through its doors upon opening on voting day. Early deadlines meant the News Bulletin was unable to publish last night’s results in today’s paper. Please visit www.nanaimo bulletin.com and pick up Thursday’s issue for full election coverage.

VIDEO OF committee and incamera meetings could be made available to the public. BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THE NEWS BULLETIN

The cost to videotape council meetings is a “small price to pay for transparency,” said Nanaimo Coun. Gord Fuller. New video-recording equipment for Nanaimo’s service and resource centre could range from $8,500 for a basic camcorder to as high as $118,200 in the first year, depending on how technical politicians want to get, a new report shows. Council meetings at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre’s Shaw Auditorium can be viewed by the non-attending public, but residents are in the dark when it comes to watching boardroom politics at the resource centre where budget, governance and core review issues have been debated. Staff recommends councillors hold off on a decision to install video-recording equipment until after a core services review and not to create or release permanent audio of in-camera meetings, which they say will take considerably more effort to review, require modified software, and possibly additional equipment. There would also be the need to hire a new position or a contractor. The issue went to council after press time Monday. Fuller told the News Bulletin in advance of the meeting that he recognizes the challenges to releasing in-camera audio, but what you can get now is “a totally blacked-out piece of paper with a meeting date on it” and minutes don’t explain much of what happened. “You may have to do some editing with the tapes, but to me it’s worth it. Transparency is worth it,” he said. But Mayor Bill McKay would like to wait for the city service review before a decision is made.

Environment committee recommends anti-idling policy for city BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THE NEWS BULLETIN

New one-minute idling limits could be en route for municipal vehicle drivers. But for one Nanaimo resident, it’s not enough. Nanaimo’s advisor y committee on environmental sustainability is recommending politicians clamp down on unnecessary idling with the city’s first anti-idling policy for its vehicle fleet. The new rules are about reducing air pollution and greenhouse gases while having an efficient use of

city resources and healthier work environment, the draft policy shows. There are exceptions, including for emergency vehicles, but drivers would see a one-minute idling limit if they stop for any foreseeable amount of time, while diesel drivers would have three minutes. All new employees and drivers would also have to undergo anti-idling training and information sessions. City resident Natalia Kuzmyn calls the new policy commendable, but she wants idling capped for all Hub City drivers with a

city-wide bylaw. Cities like Vancouver and Victoria already have idling restrictions. Kuzmyn believes it’s time for Nanaimo to consider one of its own, for reasons of health, greenhouse gas emissions and global warming. “When you are woken up in the middle of your sleep because engines are turned on and there’s the exhaust going, you can’t do anything about it. There are no bylaws,” said Kuzmyn, who lives near light industry on View Street. She’s proposing an education program,

bylaw to limit idling to 10 minutes within an hour, and fines of $100. “The amount of time they idle is up to the city ... let’s just not allow excessive idling to the detriment of the health of the people and the environment.” The effort to appeal to the city for a bylaw has won support from the South End Community Association and Island Health, whose medical health officer Dr. Paul Hasselback said anything we can do to improve our air makes sense from a health perspective.

Eco-focused school shows growth

ENroLmENT FaLLS by 134 students in district overall. By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN

The city’s only ecologically focused school exceeded Nanaimo school district’s enrolment forecasts by roughly two classroom sizes. Preliminary registration for the current school year shows that 223 students enrolled at Departure Bay Eco-School, beating the district’s projection of 180 students by nearly 24 per cent. Earlier this year, Departure Bay became an eco-focused school. A few months later, the school was recommended for closure by the district. Graham Roberts, district secretary-treasurer, says the district is trying to figure out the full reasons behind Departure Bay’s sudden growth. “We haven’t had a chance to analyze the data whether they are all new in-catchment students or out-catchment students,” he said. “That level of analysis hasn’t been done yet

and we won’t know until probably the end of November.” Overall preliminary enrolment numbers for the school year show that the district has a total of 13,593 students, which was one student short of its projection and a decrease of 134 students from last year. The district’s preliminary elementary enrolment is 7,840 students, which exceeded projections and preliminary secondary enrolment is 4,983 students, which fell short of the district’s projections. Other schools that experienced significant preliminary enrolment increases were McGirr Elementary, Fairview Elementary and Ladysmith Intermediate. Preliminary enrolment was down at Rutherford Elementary and Woodlands Secondary. Private schools within the region experienced increases this year. Lantzville’s Aspengrove School had 288 students enrol while Nanaimo Christian School had 380 students enrol. Dawna Ferris, admissions officer for Nanaimo Christian School, says her school has seen a steady increase in stu-

dents over the past five years and this year’s enrolment is the highest it’s ever had. “Three-hundred eighty students, that is a record,” she said. Ferris says the increasing enrolment at Nanaimo Christian School isn’t due to the district closing schools or threatening to close schools. “We have seen increases over the past few years,” she said. “We’ve had a new principal join us a couple of years ago and so we have done a lot of changes in our style of delivering education and that is really attracting a lot of families.” Elisabeth Reay, Aspengrove admissions director, says the majority of people don’t enrol their children in a private school because of the threat of a closure. “My experience in admission is most people who end up coming to our school have been talking to us for quite an extended period of time,” she said. “We don’t get a lot of knee-jerk-reaction decisions to enrolling their kids in our school because it is a big decision.” arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Parent councils earmark money for school extras By Karl yu The News BulleTiN

Nanaimo school district’s parent groups will receive more than $270,000 from the B.C. government for student extracurricular activities. The district’s 36 p a re n t a d v i s o r y councils will receive $20 per student. Among Nanaimo’s high schools, Dover B a y S e c o n d a r y ’s council received the most with $26,340. John Barsby received $15,380; Nanaimo District, $19,300; Wood-

lands, $11,860; and Wellington, $15,940. The province said money can’t be used for “curricular purposes or to schools or school districts or their activities or programs.” Ursula Weiss, Wellington parent advisory council chairwoman, said formal requests for funding are submitted to the council. “Because we have guidelines that we have to abide by, through the gaming laws, we have to evaluate what they’re ask-

ing for,” said Weiss. She said the majority of the money will likely go to music and sport programs to cover entrance fees to festivals and tournaments, adding the council also distributes money to smaller groups. “Even if requests didn’t come in right now, then we have enough money set aside so that when requests come in January for our arts programs or computer programs,” said Weiss. The District Par-

ent Advisory Council also received $2,500. President Charlene McKay said the grant will go toward educating parents. “We are sponsoring a course called ‘Being your child’s natural advocate’ and essentially what it does is assists parents and teaches them how to access the educational system and how to speak up for their student and become a team player in their student’s education process.”

While the vast majority of transportation contributions are associated with back-and-forth movement, rather than idling, it’s idling that tends to happen where there could be vulnerable populations, like school children, according to Hasselback. But he also said it’s helpful for a community to look at its own practices before it asks everyone else to do it. “So coming forward from an environmen-

report to council for adoption is one step and hopefully we can be seen as a bit of a leader in starting an anti-idling program and we can work with others in the community on growing a program like this city wide,” he said. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Inbrief

Lowe’s seeks permit

city scene

Calls continue on tax scam

homE improvEmENt retailer takes over former Target location. By Tamara Cunningham

Nanaimo police are receiving hundreds of complaints about what has become known as the Canadian Revenue Agency scam. The scammer calls to deliver a pre-recorded phone message identifying himself as a Canada Revenue agent, warning intended victims there is an issue with their tax returns and investigations have been started. Canada Revenue would not ask for prepaid credit cards, passport, driver’s licence or health card. People who receive scam calls and e-mails can leave complaints with Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 or contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at www.antifraudcentrecentreantifraude.ca.

The News BulleTiN

Home improvement retailer Lowe’s Canada is looking to retrofit its new Nanaimo location. Lowe’s has applied to the City of Nanaimo for a development permit to retrofit the old Target store at Nanaimo North Town Centre. Earlier this year the company completed the acquisition of 12 former Target sites across Canada, including two on Vancouver Island, for approximately $147.75 million. While the company hasn’t announced an opening date or how much it plans to invest in its Nanaimo location, Lowe’s Canada spokeswoman Sandy

Indig said the store will create approximately 120-140 jobs and an additional 30-40 seasonal positions. Dan Fraser, general manager of the mall, called the jobs a “huge benefit” to Nanaimo. Lowe’s will also bring more traffic and support efforts to secure other leasing ventures throughout the property as Nanaimo North expands over the next couple of years, he said. “On average right now our busier days in the shopping centre, we’re seeing 5,000 to 6,000 guests come to the property, but this just in itself will bring 2,000 to 4,000 guests,” he said, adding it will promote cross shopping and round out the tenant mix. “And it’s just going to be great to have that 125,000-square-foot place filled.” Target shuttered earlier this year, putting 130 people out of work.

So I said, ‘You should have a student club,’ and so that’s kind of how that started to go,” said Kawahara. The club is very much in its infancy and while Kawahara said it is aiming to one day have bee boxes on campus, in the immediate future there are plans to have an introductory workshop sometime this fall. Thirty-five members have signed on and Kawahara said there is interest from all sectors of the student population, including engineering and geology students. The club is seeking donations to bring in instructors, help build bee boxes and help promote engagement with the students. Although the club is geared toward students, non-students can also join, said Kawahara. For more information, please e-mail Kawahara at lizkawahara@ hotmail.com.

Concern about bees has led to the formation of a beekeepers club at Vancouver Island University. Reports of declining bee population has spurred interest, said Liz Kawahara, a digital media student and president of the Beekeepers Club at VIU. “One in three bites of food comes from [our] pollinator friends. With all the chemicals that are in our food now and being sprayed directly into the seed, it has been affecting the bees. As the older generation keeps on retiring, we have this interconnection where we need the younger generation to step up and the older generation to adjust. “That’s why we want to form this club and get it going,” said Kawahara. She has a background in farming, working at Nanoose Edibles Organic Farm, and said she took an interest as she was going to create videos of bees. She wanted to look at plants and examine why they are pollinating and related factors. “I contacted the Nanaimo [Beekeepers] Club, so I wanted to do

Map shows area water information By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN

People wondering where their water comes from, how it’s used and even areas of First Nations historical significance can turn to a new Regional District of Nanaimo online interactive map. The map, part of the regional district’s Drinking Water Watershed Protection program, combines provincial and regional district data to display graphical information about land use, watersheds, aquifers, streams and water bodies within the regional district’s nine water regions from Qualicum to South Wellington. “The intent is to connect residents in our region to a more place-based framework for connecting with water information,” said Julie Pisani, RDN drinking water and watershed protection coordinator. “If they have questions like, ‘Where are the aquifers? What streams are in my area? What projects are going on? Where are there monitoring sites?’ the idea is to have a map interface for people 1.

o bones about it, some of Nanaimo’s history is engraved in stone at Pioneer Cemetery Park. Old cemeteries where tombstones bear names of pioneering families, birth and death dates and sometimes even snippets of how they lived and died, are windows to a community’s past. At Pioneer Cemetery Park, at Comox Road and Wallace Street, a few headstones have survived from when the graveyard was active between 1852-76. Nobody knows for sure how many souls were interred there, but Christine Meutzner, manager at Nanaimo Community Archives, dug through old records and found at least 154 bodies lay in the park, far more than expected given the number of headstones inscribed with names, like Bates and Haslam, that are synonymous with Nanaimo’s historic foundations. But the posh headstones of prominent pioneers don’t mention the burials of stillborns, infants and children taken by disease or misfortune – often the price of living on the frontier. Kin who were responsible to care for the plots either moved on or passed on themselves, leaving that hallowed ground to its silent decay after Nanaimo Cemetery on Bowen Road opened in 1876. Decades of neglect took a toll. Appalled at the sight of

skulls laying on the ground and dogs pulling at the bones, a provincial cemetery inspector in the 1950s proclaimed the site the worst cemetery he’d ever seen. Archived photographs show broken iron fencing, tilted headstones and a skull laying among overgrown ivy. “That sort of long-term neglect might also reflect the historical demography of Nanaimo, in that there was an awful lot of single transient men,” Meutzner said. “So it’s actually in that way kind of an authentic outcome of the actual demographics of this community and I would guess that would be true of any resource-extrac-

tion, boom-and-bust community across North America.” The city cleaned up the site in 1960 and Kiwanis Club volunteers embedded the headstones into the stone and mortar wall now crumbling under 55 years of weather. The park remains in city care and, though not under protection as a historic site, it is protected as a decommissioned cemetery, said Chris Sholberg, city culture and heritage planner. Volunteers will soon scrub clean the moss and lichen gnawing at the stones’ inscriptions in the park. Saving Our Stones, a partnership between the city, archives and Nanaimo Museum, will call on volunteers to come out with water and toothbrushes to clean the stones in summer 2016. People interested in volunteering can contact the museum’s volunteer coordinator Jamie Franzmann at 250-753-1821 or e-mail at Jamie@nanaimomuseum.ca.

EDITORIAL

Drive carefully during autumn

Anyone who has driven on B.C. roads for any length of time has been there – a vehicle races past you at speeds well above the posted limit and then immediately cuts you off with a dangerous lane change. Then there are the drivers who’ll race through a stale yellow light, rather than wait two minutes for the next green, or the ones who jump the green to get in a left turn before oncoming traffic has a chance to move. There is no shortage of aggressive drivers on our roads. As much as we all know it’s illegal and incredibly dangerous, it’s behaviour we’ve all come to expect and, to some degree, accept. We might sigh, and ease our foot off the accelerator a little bit, just to give the aggressor a chance to move a bit farther along and minimize our own risk of getting caught up in any carnage they might generate. But it’s so common, it barely raises an eyebrow. What is still a little surprising, though, (at least it should be) is the percentage of vehicles that go blasting by with a green ’N’ affixed to the back window or bumper. The ’N’ stands, of course, for ‘new’ (the sticker’s colour is symbolic in its own right). That’s ‘new’ as in, inexperienced, unpractised, unskilled. Despite that, there’s a blind confidence and sense of indestructibility that seems to come with being young. Experienced or inexperienced, on our city’s roads there is a whole lot going on for any driver to take in, and yet we have to take it all in. If we miss something, it could mean a fender bender, or worse. At this time of year, the roads are wet, leafy and slick. It’s dark. Our windshields are foggy. It’s time to check our speedometers and check ourselves. Whether it’s slowing down, paying closer attention or ensuring a vehicle is properly maintained, we all have a responsibility to ensure that our actions don’t put others in harm’s way.

do for the safety of the child? I imagine that child services have more important things to do, such as finding places to put children besides motels, than handle cases of children being left home alone for a few hours. The people who will be affected most by the B.C. Supreme Court’s recent ruling are low-income, single parents and while there are options such as after-school care, it can become expensive, especially for those with multiple children. For example, one Nanaimobased childcare company lists on its website full-time after school fees as $260 a month per child, while another offers after school services for $350 a month per child, which works out to $3,150 over the course of a ninemonth school year. In addition to the cost, some parents work more than one job to make ends meet and after school care programs don’t always meet work schedules. With a severe daycare shortage and an ever-increasing cost of living, both the the provincial and federal governments must work together to create a longterm plan to ensure that there are affordable daycare spaces and that prevent the law from substituting one victim for another.

‘We don’t get a lot of knee-jerk-reaction decisions to enrolling kids in our school because it is a big decision.’

Council’s yelling better than silence To the Editor,

Re: Chamber of commerce leads petition to fix council relationships, Sept. 24. Leadership is earned, not demanded – and it is sadly lacking at city hall and by some on the sidelines. The decorum some Nanaimoites speak of with their petition will only succeed when rules are

applied equally to all – both at the council table and in the gallery. However, the mayor, some councillors and staff seem intent on running democracy their way – and that is what has caused, finally, the real pushback of unrest. The best way for the train to get back on the tracks is for the chair to apply

points-of-order fairly to all, staff to provide well-balanced, unbiased reports and for a few on council to stop their ignorant sighs, face twisting and manipulation. It is good the backlash has come and that the spotlight is now being focused on the careless spending, subverting of motions and sneakiness that has been

plaguing 455 Wallace St. for some time. It is time now for power to be pulled from the small minority of tax spenders who constantly manipulate democracy. And if it takes some yelling and screaming to do it, so be it – for the good of all weary, cashstrapped taxpayers.

Creative thinking missing on dam work To the Editor,

There is an adjacent creek which runs through the southeast corner of the park which with very little effort could be used as an overflow spillway by running a levee from the beach located on the south side of the lower lake to it. Yes, it would require some excavation and building of forms for pouring cement, re-routing of some trails and some bridge building to re-open the trails through which the new spillway would run, but it can be done, relatively inexpensively. The idea is to keep the load off the existing dam by giving the excess water somewhere to escape. The only problem I see is that

the only easy escape route still goes straight down the Chase River eventually. To strengthen the existing dam would require draining it then positioning cable stays, like building a suspension bridge flopped over on its side, built on the lake side of the dam and covered over with a nice stepped side concrete inside lining to the existing dam. I do not have any degree in engineering, civil or otherwise, but I do have something which is sorely lacking these days within the engineering department of the City of Nanaimo, and that is a creative mind.

Dam decisions didn’t consider creative ideas, says letter writer.

Gun violence happens in Canada, and could happen again To the Editor,

Re: Gun violence harms us all, Editorial, Sept. 3. Although I certainly agree with your premise, I was shocked that you would have had to go so far afield to find a basis for it. I have been horrified and appalled that so many, for the most part unarmed, Canadian citizens have been shot down by police in the past year. The people that I’m speak-

ing about had mental health issues, and they were either armed with a knife or a stick. How lethal can they be? And why should they be met with such force? And so quickly? I know there have been severe cuts to many social services and that has left those with mental health issues with fewer and fewer resources. I can’t understand why there are so few psychiatrists and such limited

hospital space for those who truly need these services. And, it’s fallen to the police to deal with things that they shouldn’t have to. Although the terrible and tragic events that have happened in the U.S. demand our attention, perhaps in future it might point you to our own tragedies on the home front.

To the Editor,

I applaud the resistance by Black Press and others in protesting the B.C. Liberals’ changes to what was once a good waste recycling program. Just because we are mandated a fee doesn’t make it so. It was the Liberals’ idea to hire an out-of-province outfit to come in and make our recycling worse than it was. Why should any of us pay more for that? It’s bad enough that so much more plastic is going back into the landfills again because these outof-towners won’t accept it at the curb, and many of us can’t get to recycle depots. I’d tell Christy Clark’s new friends to take a hike back across the country.

Musketeers fight evil forces Nanaimo Theatre Group presents a tale of death, betrayal and love with its adaptation of The Three Musketeers By RACHEL STERN

musketeers Athos, Porthos and Aramis. This confrontation sets D’Artagnan on a treacherous path against the most dangerous man in France -- Cardinal Richelieu. The young man’s tale comes to life on stage this October during the Nanaimo Theatre Group’s production of The Three Musketeers. “It’s a very light story in a lot of ways even though it is about life and death and betrayal and love,” said Dave Bigelow, co-director of the production. “It is very much a comedy with heavy moments thrown in.” Shannon Reimer, co-director, and Bigelow tried to strike a balance between the two aspects. One of the biggest challenges was the physicality of the play. “ P e o p l e a re g e t t i n g punched and kneed and bitten,” said Bigelow. The sword fights were also demanding, in one scene there are nine actors brawling.

oung D’Artagnan leaves his home of Gascony, France, in search of adventure, with his tomboy sister Sabine in tow. Soon he encounters the three m o s t famous

Acting experience among the performers varies greatly from seasoned veterans to some making their stage debut. Chloe Scott, who is Constance, is taking the stage for the first time. Bigelow said she was originally cast in some small walkon parts but they needed someone to play Constance and she was chosen. She started out shy, but Bigelow has seen tremendous growth and a change in her stage presence. “She brings this great energy to the stage,” he said. James Dean plays the lead character D’Artagnan. Previously he appeared in Alice in Pantoland and Aladdin and the Foreigner, also Nanaimo Theatre Group productions. This Christmas he appears in the group’s production The Emperor’s New Clothes. “He is really a wonderful young actor,” said Bigelow. “He is really committed to the role.”

Bigelow has been involved in all aspects of theatre, including as an actor, backstage volunteer and in the prop department, but this is his first time directing. He gave the actors free rein to try out things on stage and see their physicality and what they brought to the characters. Then he worked with them to help refine the actors’ movements and speech patterns. The play is going to appeal to adults, teenagers and children, said Bigelow. “It’s going to be a lot of fun,” he said. “It’s a family-friendly show.” The evening performances are Oct. 21-24 and Oct. 28-31 at 8 p.m. There will be a 2 p.m. matinee Oct. 25. All shows are at the Bailey Studio, 2373 Rosstown Rd. Tickets range from $18 to $20 and are available by calling 250-758-7224 or online at www.nanaimothe atregroup.ca. reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

Whether people want to create ghouls or fairy princesses they can learn basic techniques during a workshop presented by Max Dowie. Dowie is offering two different workshops this week. People can learn how to riddle themselves with wax bullet holes, or transform people into monsters during a latex Halloween workshop. Dowie said it’s up to individuals to decide what kind of creature or character they want to create during the workshop. “They get to exercise their creativity,” he said. There are six spots in the workshop because Dowie wants to ensure he can give everyone attending one-on-one guidance.

DEATHS

JAMONT, LOUIS “LAURIE” LAURENT Regimental # 19784

S/Sgt. (Ret’d) Louis Laurent Jamont, Reg. # 19784, known to all as Laurie, was born October 6, 1938, in Rosthern, Saskatchewan. He was the second son of Josie and Louis Jamont, and the big brother to four sisters, and a younger brother. At a young age, Laurie decided he wanted to join the RCMP, and in February 1957, boarded a train from his home in Langley to start an adventure that would last a lifetime. He was posted in multiple places in Saskatchewan, then spent a year on the Musical Ride, representing the RCMP and his country, of which he was so proud. Shortly thereafter, he was posted to the North, spending three years in the Arctic, in Aklavik, Inuvik, and Arctic Red River. After his posting was up, he returned to Saskatchewan, and, on the eve of his brother’s wedding in 1963, happened to meet a beautiful young nurse, who turned out to be the love of his life. Val and Laurie were married in September 1965, and started their adventure together, soon moving to Ottawa, where he became involved in the Ident Section. He stayed with that section through moves to Moncton, Fredericton, Thompson, Brandon, and Prince George. While in Prince George, he left the Ident section to serve as the Division Representative, a job that brought him much satisfaction, as it enabled him to do something that was his true nature – helping others. His last transfer took him Nanaimo, where he retired in 1992 as a Staff Sergeant, after 35 years of service. After retirement, he went to work for the Public Guardian and Trustee, utilizing his policing background in another way. He joined the RCMP Veterans Association, and served in many positions on the executive committee, and took great pleasure in being involved. He truly was a Mountie for life. Laurie built model planes, was an avid reader, and a lover of history and all things Canadian. He was a storyteller, a quick wit, a gardener, a whistler, a carpenter, a blood donor, and in recent years, a stem cell courier for the bone marrow transplant program. He was a wonderful husband to Val, a loving and devoted father to Ilene and Don, and recently became a completely besotted grandfather to Jack. He celebrated 50 years of marriage earlier this year, surrounded by family and many, many friends. He was so proud of his children, and loved their spouses as if they were his own kids. Laurie was many things to many people, but above all he always did what was right, and he was first to step forward when someone needed a hand. He will be sorely missed. In the wee hours of October 13, 2015, Laurie lost his battle with leukemia. With Val by his side, he slipped away peacefully, having fought the good fight. He is survived by his loving wife Val, his daughter Ilene (Francois Veillette), his son Don (Laura), and his grandson, Jack, along with his sisters Agnes, Margaret, and Yvonne, and his brother Norman, his sister-in-law Bev, brother-in-law Don, and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Louis and Josie, his brother Ken, and his sister Irma. A memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m. October 22, 2015, at Telford’s Funeral Home, 595 Townsite Road, Nanaimo. Interment to follow at RCMP’s Depot Division. Special thanks to Dr. Denegri, and the NRGH nurses who worked so closely with Laurie, and the many close friends who came to visit in the hospital. Your time with him meant so much. Donations in Laurie’s memory may be made to the Leukemia/Bone Marrow Transplant Program of BC, c/o VGH and UBC Hospital Foundation, Suite 190, 855 W 12th Ave, Vancouver V5Z 1M9. Condolences may be offered at telfordn@shaw.ca or by visiting www. telfordsburialandcremationcentre.com To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.

BABCOCK, JOHN MICHAEL (MIKE) October 31, 1938 - October 2, 2015 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Mike Babcock. Mike was born in Campbellton, New Brunswick to Merritt Babcock and Alice (Lawlor) Babcock of Matapedia, Quebec. Mike spent 20 years in the RCAF, stationed across Canada, Sardinia, and France. After operating restaurants/service stations with Betty in Swift Current, SK., and Cranbrook, BC, he retired as a Corrections Officer in Nanaimo, BC. Mike found pleasure in the outdoors, especially camping, fishing and golfing; he travelled far and wide with Betty in their RV, visiting friends and family all across Canada. Predeceased by his parents, brother Frank Babcock, sisters Peggy Roberts and Dot Peterson. Mike is survived and lovingly remembered by his wife of 53 years Betty, son Lary, daughters Elta and Ora-Lee (Rob) and grandchildren Andrew (Lara), Erin (Shane), Merritt, Jamie, Mia, Michael, Robyn. Brother Archie (Georgina), sisters Reva (Scott) and Ora, and special womb-mate Monnie (Al). As well as many very special friends across this country.

Could my child’s problems at school be related to vision?

Quite possibly, since 80% of learning DR. PAUL GENEAU is visual. Vision disorders often cause learning and behaviour difficulties, but sometimes in ways that are not obvious. Children have individual learning styles, strengths and weaknesses, and as parents we want them to have nothing preventing them from reaching their own personal potential. One way to ensure that is a thorough eye and vision examination by an optometrist. This is the message during Children’s Vision Month, in October, from Doctors of Optometry Canada. Go to “Ask a Doctor of Optometry” on Facebook for the full answer to the above question, and many others, or visit the website at doctorsofoptometry.ca.

Do I need to take a Vitamin D supplement during the fall and winter months?

Vitamin D deficiency is extremely common in Canada during the fall and winter months DR. BRANDI HONAIZER due to our northern latitude. Vitamin D plays a crucial role in disease prevention and maintenance of optimal health. Low 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels are associated with an increased risk for fractures, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes. Vitamin D can reduce your risk of cancer by as much as 60%. It also has infectionfighting abilities that are beneficial for prevention of influenza and the common cold. Vitamin D is also essential for children and breastfed infants. The only way to determine the correct dose of Vitamin D for you, is to get your blood levels tested. Testing is important for two reasons: (1) vitamin D requirements can differ widely depending on age, skin color and weight; and (2) Vitamin D can be toxic in excessive doses. Not all Vitamin D supplements are created equally. The best choice is Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), which is the same form our bodies create from sun exposure. Vitamin D is best absorbed in a liquid form. Food sources are often insufficient to maintain optimal levels, especially in the winter months in Canada.

Notary As a senior, what do I need to know about strata’s before I buy?

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.

Many active aging boomers are downsizing to free-up funds for retirement or travel, or to make life simpler after their children leave home. If you’re considering a strata property, make sure you read and understand the strata minutes and bylaws; particularly on the topics of noise, pets, smoking and parking, which are the most frequent points of concern in most strata communities. People who have owned freehold properties for most of their lives may not be accustomed to some of the expectations of strata living so it’s important to make sure you’re comfortable with the rules that will apply to both you and your neighbours before you make a purchase.

The school has sent a note home that we have to work on my son’s reading at home so he doesn’t get left behind. He hates reading and he hates school. When AMBER SCOTCHBURN my six year old son gets home from BSW, B.Ed school it is 4pm. He has a snack, plays outside, eats dinner, does homework and goes to bed. We spend half an hour on homework after dinner. Do you think for a child like this to come home after 6 hours of school to have them sit down right away to do work is too much? How much time should a child spend on homework?

He needs play time. He needs to eat. You want him to WANT to do this at this age as we want him to LOVE reading for the rest of his life! Start him with what he can handle of one of THE most fun reading activities EVER. (See our blog for FUN reading activities!) Do this activity for 5 minutes. Get him to the point where he is asking for more. And make it relevant to him-- his likes, his interests and what he’s already doing. Don’t make it an add on.

Can chiropractors do anything for bed-wetting?

Bed-wetting is a source of distress both for parents and for the child who is affected by DR. KAREN MATTERN it. While bed-wetting problems are usually “outgrown” in a few years, some cases persist into the teen years and even into adulthood. One contributing factor in many cases is spinal dysfunction, causing irritation of the nerves to the bladder and the urinary sphincter. Often, spinal adjustments can decrease the number of incidents or eliminate the problem altogether. If your child has a problem with bladder control, consult your chiropractor to determine whether you may be able to simply and effectively eliminate a major source of distress for yourself and for your child. Adjustments can also help with some cases of incontinence in adults. For more information call our office at 250-758-7022 or email drkarin@shaw.ca

EYE CARE NANAIMO

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.

Yes but we need to clarify a few things first. NOBODY has 100% soy based foam. This is a very popular way that less than honest stores will use to get you interested. I’ve heard retailers say “this contains 100%”. The reality is that 20% contains 100% natural. We have foam that 20 or so percent contains 100% Bio Polyol or plant based material. Anything more than that percentage and the foam would be junk. All our foams are made in Canada or the US, they are good, clean, safe foams that all meet or exceed CertiPUR-USstandards.

One of the most troublesome complications of Diabetes strikes the feet first. Elevated blood sugar damages small blood vessels in the feet DR. KATIA LANGTON which causes damage to sensory nerves. As these nerves are dying; symptoms include throbbing, numbness, tingling or burning in the feet, the sensation of bugs crawling on your skin, and sharp, shooting pain down the legs. As we lose sensation in the feet, we lose the ability to know when our tissues are being injured. Imagine a rock in your shoe and not being able to feel it, or walking for a long time without the messages back to your brain warning you when you need to rest, get off your feet or change your footwear. Sensory neuropathy (nerves dying) destroys our ability to protect our feet from injury. The best defence against tissue damage common in peripheral neuropathy is to prevent injury in the first place. This can be done through preventative foot checks, callus removal, protective footwear and orthotics specifically for the Neuropathic foot. All people with Diabetes should have a foot screening exam at least every 12 months. Call us today. Coverage under NIHB, DVA, Social Services and direct billing to extended benefits.

There sure is. You are absolutely right to be concerned about power washing your vinyl siding. The high pressure water can not only damage the siding, but it can cause moisture issues behind the siding and in the walls of your house. For best results, soft brush cleaning with a vinyl degreaser will provide a long lasting shine and will delay mold and algae from recurring.

Can I consolidate my debt into my mortgage?

What happens if I win the lottery while I’m in bankruptcy? GARETH SLOCOMBE, CA, CIRP Under the provisions of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, all property that you acquire while you are not yet discharged from bankruptcy, vests in the Trustee. This includes money from “windfalls” such as lottery winnings or inheritances. This is different from income from employment or other sources which is dealt with under earnings guidelines that only require a portion of “surplus” income to be paid to the Trustee. Lottery winnings all belong in the bankruptcy estate. However, any portion in excess of the amount required to pay all your creditors in full plus cover the estate administration costs would be returned to you.

Real Estate What is the difference between a Mobile home and a Modular Home?

■ REALTOR

I want a natural foam mattress but really can’t afford latex. I’ve been told I can get 100% JOHN ROGERS natural soy; do you have anything like that?

Bankruptcy

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

Experts’ Advice

Can Hypnotherapy help to end my Insomnia?

Yes it can and you can start sleeping better almost immediately. If you have insomnia, RON E. THOMPSON these are some very welcome words. Insomnia often results because of constant worry, fears, anxiety, and negative brain wave patterns. When the conscious mind is so busy, with worry, anxiety, fears, anger, emotional conflicts, etc. the brain has a hard time letting go of its conscious processing. Some people actually worry so much about not being able to get to sleep that they are unable to sleep simply because of the worry about not being able to sleep! Through the use of hypnosis we help a person create a new pattern of behavior by teaching them how to quiet and relax their body and mind by creating the belief that something is possible such as sleeping soundly every night into their subconscious mind. By providing positive suggestions about sleeping while in hypnosis the subconscious mind acts on it as if it’s real and creates a new outcome. In this case, sleeping peacefully all night long.

Raiders hold off Rams in playoff Inbrief

FOOTBALL TEAM plays for B.C. title.

BY GREG SAKAKI ThE NEWS BULLETIN

The semifinal had a big-game feel, it was back and forth, and the V.I. Raiders were a little bit better. The Raiders defeated the Langley Rams 28-27 on Saturday at Caledonia Park in B.C. Football Conference playoff action. The game came down to a final Rams drive with a minute and a half left, but the Raiders’ defence held firm and ran out the clock on the visitors. Dexter Shea, V.I. l i n e b a c k e r, s a i d his team played together and played tough. “We stick together, ups and downs, no matter how the game’s going, we know the game’s not over till it’s over,” he said. Jerome Erdman, Raiders coach, said he was very proud of his young team. “This is their first experience for a lot of them in this type of atmosphere. It was a great effort…” he said. “They never gave up. They kept battling. We were in adverse situations a couple times, but they kept believing,

kept working hard like we’ve preached on them from Day 1 and good things are going to happen when you do that.” Dustin Rodriguez, Raiders receiver, said his team wasn’t fazed when it found itself trailing. “We knew it wasn’t over at all,” he said. “We’ve been playing in games like this all year, so we just knew that we had to keep our head up and

stick with it.” The Raiders’ offence was able to complete some long passes for scores. Quarterback Liam O’Brien connected with Rodriguez on touchdown passes of 57 and 46 yards, and with Arthur Fabbro on a 26-yard TD pass. The Rams were able to sustain some drives with a run game based around surprise starting quarterback Bobby

Pospischil, but weren’t as effective through the air and the Raiders came up with three interceptions. “All year we’ve been kind of a bendbut-don’t-break defence,” said Erdman. “Make them earn it and then hopefully over a long stretch, they’ll make a mistake.” The Raiders came out and scored on their first drive of

the football game on an 11-yard run by O’Brien, then the Rams scored 17 straight points. A Rodriguez TD closed the gap, then a Cole Virtanen interception set up Fabbro’s score and put the home team up 21-17 at halftime. The Rams re-took the lead early in the fourth quarter on a touchdown reception, but the Raiders responded a

minute later with a Rodriguez major. The Rams closed to within one point on a field goal with four minutes left, but there was no further scoring. Shea said winning that kind of battle game is huge for his team. “It pulls us closer. It makes us realize that it’s that close. It could go away just like that,” he said. “So we want to hold on to it as long as we can. We love this game and we’re going to keep trying to play it as long as we can.” O’Brien finished the game 13-for22 for 279 yards, three TDs and an INT. Rodriguez had six catches for 133 yards. Defensively, Virtanen led his team with eight tackles and a pick. Adam McDonald intercepted a pass in the endzone and Travis Novak had an interception and a sack. The Okanagan Sun defeated the Kamloops Broncos by a remarkable 75-7 score in the other BCFC semifinal Sunday in Kelowna.

T h e We n a t c h e e Wi l d defeated the Clips by a 4-2 score on Saturday at Frank Crane Arena. “It was a good game,” said Mike Vandekamp, Clippers coach. “We didn’t get outworked or outbattled – we made dumb mistakes.” He was asked if the Wild

play a different brand of hockey than the league’s B.C. teams. “No. They’re a good team. They skate well, they work hard, they’re well-coached. They’re just another good opponent you’re going to face in this league,” he said. Kyle Stephan, Wild forward, said he’s loving BCHL hockey so far. “The fans have been awesome, there’s always been good atmospheres in every barn we’ve played in,” he said. “It’s special.” Nanaimo’s goals were

scored by Devin Brosseau and Zach Court. The Clips outshot the Wild 29-21. The following afternoon, the Clippers defeated the Chilliwack Chiefs 4-2 at Frank Crane Arena. Sheldon Rempal scored a hat trick, Matt Creamer scored his first goal of the season and Jonathan Reinhart made 29 saves for the win. GAME ON … The Clippers play just one game this week, Friday (Oct. 23) against the Cowichan Valley Capitals at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
