A new Nanaimo District Secondary School, a larger Hammond Bay Elementar y gym and Harewood school demolition are the top three priorities in Nanaimo school district’s current five-year capital plan. B.C.’s Ministry of Education requires school boards to submit fiveyear plans annually, providing information on priority projects. Trustees approved the 2015-16 plan at a meeting Nov. 4, with potential projects totalling $122 million. According to Pete Sabo, school district director of planning and operations, money hasn’t been allocated, rather the district has requested project funding from the ministry in specific years for those amounts. The district requested $66.5 million for a new school on the Nanaimo District Secondary site in 2017-18, with capacity increasing to 1,800. Sabo said the request doesn’t mean construction for a new high school will occur in 2018.

Medical marijuana dispensary managers plan a united front and appeals to government in the wake of an ultimatum from the Nanaimo RCMP to shut down shop or face arrests. The Nanaimo RCMP put 10 medical marijuana dispensaries on notice Thursday that they had seven days to stop the sale of marijuana and marijuana derivatives or they could be subject to police enforcement. Medical marijuana shops have been growing in number in Nanaimo, selling bud, tinctures and marijuana-infused brownies. Written notice, given to dispensaries by the RCMP, advises the establishments that they are operating illegally and are trafficking cannabis contrary to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and operating outside of Health Canada regulations. If the pot shops don’t close, they will be subject to enforcement that includes arrests of employees and patrons, seizure of “offence-related” property and criminal prosecutions. The recent police action is related to an ongoing commitment to public safety, according to an e-mail response from Nanaimo RCMP spokesman Const. Gary O’Brien. It’s important the RCMP’s position is made “very clear,” and police have notified businesses in person of the ramifications if illegal activity is detected, he said. Medical marijuana dispensary managers say they were crushed and blindsided by the notice. Dispensary representatives, suppli-

“A number of studies, discussions and determinations will be required to determine if and when the ministry may consider approving a project at NDSS,” Sabo said in an e-mail. Demolition of the old Harewood Elementary School, ranked third in priority, was requested in 2015-16 in the amount of $589,000. A timeline would be established if ministry approval is given, according to Sabo. The school was shuttered in 2004. Sabo said it is past its useful life and requires demolition in the near future. “It has now been closed for over 10 years and the district has determined there would be no future use in its current condition,” said Sabo. “Roof leaks have further deteriorated its condition. It is becoming a candidate for removal.” During budget consultation in March, parents expressed concerns about Hammond Bay Elementary’s half-sized gym, saying its maximum capacity is 312, less than the school’s enrolment. The gym project was prioritized No. 2, with a request for $853,551 in 2017-18. Sabo said the plan is subject to change. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Port authority guides marine shipping traffic

NAVIGATION SYSTEM could be expanded to other B.C. waterways. BY CHRIS BUSH THe NeWs BuLLeTIN

The Nanaimo Port Authority is sailing through uncharted waters with a new navigation system development program. The program is part of the port authority’s drive to build future business, which includes plans to expand its deep sea short shipping facilities at Duke Point to take advantage of future potential business from B.C.’s developing liquefied natural gas industry. The expansion at Duke Point, estimated to cost upwards of $60 million to build a second shipping berth and other shipping and cargo-handling facilities, might not become a reality until 2020. In the meantime, the Marine Domain Awareness Project software and equipment development for a proposed B.C. Electronic Marine Highway to handle LNG tanker traffic on the B.C. Coast, is underway at the port authority’s facilities in Nanaimo. Bernie Dumas, Nanaimo Port Authority president and CEO, announced the project at the Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce luncheon Thursday. The port authority has partnered with North Vancouver-

based Xanatos Marine to develop and test the system in Nanaimo. “Basically the system is an air traffic control system for B.C. ships,” Dumas said. The system layers data from radar, visual sighting, weather, currents, ship transponders and other information to create a digital representation of shipping lanes and traffic to shipping traffic advisors and crews aboard the vessels themselves. The overall effect is to allow ships’ operators to effectively “see” beyond the horizon or around geographic features, such as islands, to track other ships in real time and avoid potential collisions. The data is also recorded and has already been used to review the cause of a collision in Vancouver. “They had an accident where a tug sank because a barge ran over it,” Dumas said. “We replayed it for them and showed the cause and how it happened as well as the response time.” The system, which is an adaptation of one created in Indonesia, could be extended to other major B.C. shipping ports. The idea is to record and sell information gathered to interested parties, such as Transport Canada, B.C. Ferries, the coast guard and marine-related companies. “We’re hoping to be able to get into a new type of business and selling services to the marine industry,” Dumas said. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

MLA speaks in favour of access to marijuana With a federal government committed to legalization, the Nanaimo RCMP may want to consider waiting for further direction, says Nanaimo-North Cowichan NDP MLA, Doug Routley, who’s called for the immediate repeal of an order against medical marijuana dispensaries. Routley says constituents have asked him for help, feeling as though their jobs and access to medicine are threatened after the Nanaimo RCMP delivered 10 notices to local medical marijuana dispensaries, ordering them to shut down in seven days or face enforcement. He’s also taken to social media to express his views on the notice of enforcement. In an e-mail to the News Bulletin, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman Gary O’Brien said it’s important the RCMP ensure individuals and businesses are fully aware of the business regulations, legislation and expectations moving forward. Routley said he understands the RCMP is in a difficult place with the law, court rulings and regulations not brought together in a “workable way” for patients or law enforcement, but he also believes a sensible approach would be to wait for action from the new federal government. “I am not able to act, obviously in the federal parliament, but I can make a request to the local RCMP to recognize that if you look at this previous federal election, 77 per cent of Nanaimoites who voted, voted for parties that support legalization,” he said.

The association serves 1,000 people, who seek CBD (cannabidiol) products, ointment and marijuana. Cavanagh says she sees smiles and has received phone calls from people who’ve said they finally got a good night’s sleep, or that their mother, who has cancer, was able to eat because she vaporized a little bit. “We are not bad people. We are not doing any harm,” she said. Richard Scott, manager of Nature’s Source Society, hosted the meeting with other dispensaries and said he’s a bit shocked because so many dispensaries have been operating with no problem for quite some time, some for a couple of years. He said the shops will protest the police action, but whether they will all stay open is something that will be decided as a community. Travis Lane, general manager of all Trees dis- We are not bad pensaries on Vancouver people. We are Island, including Nanaimo, told the News Bulletin his not doing any company might respect the RCMP decision in harm. some way, perhaps even locking its doors and handing out pamphlets to ask people to write their local MLA. But he also wants to consider the political climate. “If we find that all the politics is positive and the RCMP are the only ones that want to do anything about it, I don’t think the RCMP will have the backing to do something,” said Lane. “It’s not their fault that it’s still illegal, but at the same if we can get the people that are their bosses, the people that call their shots, on our side then the threat disappears.” O’Brien said the RCMP is taking a wait-and-see approach and couldn’t say what will happen after the seven days’ notice.

The B.C. Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a woman who died in a motor vehicle incident near Nanaimo Tuesday, as Heidi Barbara Plato, 51, of Ladysmith.

HIV testing coming to Nanaimo hospital HIV tests will soon be part of the check-in routine at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. Island Health plans to offer HIV tests amongst the blood work patients can get during hospital admission. The move is all about making HIV tests part of routine medical care for patients.

Dr. Paul Hasselback, Island Health medical health officer for central Vancouver Island, says the authority plans to make HIV admission tests a permanent hospital offering. The hospital’s HIV testing is anticipated to begin in the new year.

The News BulleTiN

he Nanaimo News Bulletin fundraiser formerly known as Pennies for Presents is again set to kick into high gear, running until the week of Dec. 15. Collection jars for the Coins for Kids drive have been available at businesses throughout the year, allowing people to donate toonies, loonies, pennies and other change to benefit needy children in Nanaimo at Christmas. Last year, a total of $5,500 was collected and the target this year is to surpass that. The year-round collection has enabled the fundraiser to get a head start. “We have containers in a number of places and what we’re looking for is more places that are willling to just have a container sit on the counter throughout the year, preferably high-volume kind of businesses ... just by having these containers sitting on some of the high-volume stores, we picked up about $2,000 before the campaign even started,” said Pete MacDonald, veteran Coins for Kids volunteer. Money collected will go to two local charities, The Boys and Girls Club of Central Vancouver Island and the Great Nanaimo Toy Drive, and Ian

Ideal Weight Loss Part 4: Visceral Fat How do we know if the fat we have is visceral fat? First we have to realize that a big belly and waistline is unhealthy and puts you at risk. Start by measuring your waistline. Place the tape on bare belly just above the hipbone, hold the tape so it is snug, but doesn’t push skin, check the tape to see that it is level all the way around. Relax, exhale and measure, do not suck in stomach. Women with a waist measuring 35 inches or greater, are at risk for heart disease, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. Men at 40 inches are considered at risk.

ian Thorpe, longtime Nanaimo News Bulletin Coins for Kids volunteer, is hoping people will fill donation containers during this year’s campaign.

Thorpe, another longtime coin drive volunteer, said there are many places to donate. “We have containers at a number of local businesses,” said Thorpe. “One of the main ones is Quality Foods, they’ve been very supportive, and a number of smaller businesses in town. Some of the local schools are taking part and there’s also an opportunity for dropping off right at the News Bulletin office.” The fundraiser began in 1996 and was re-christened in 2013 to account for the elimination of the penny. MacDonald’s parents, Tom

and Wig, have also helped out in the past, and he said he is trying to carry on that tradition. “I’ve been retired for 10 years and I’ve just totally taken over what [my father] did in the last 10 years, but I helped him actually before that,” said MacDonald. Donations can be dropped off at the News Bulletin, 777 Poplar St., from Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Donations can also be made at our community drop-off locations, which includes InPrint, John’s Bedroom Barn, Northridge Fitness, La-Z-Boy, Royal LePage at Brooks Landing, Quality Foods at University Village and Cline Medical Centre. For more information on the campaign, please call 250753-3707. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

EDITORIAL

Peace needed more than ever

It was with great sadness that we learned of the violence and death that was wrought on the people of Paris last week. We were appalled by the acts, angry at the perpetrators and bewildered at the motivations. Mostly, there is sadness. Sadness at the murder of the innocent, the most unjustifiable of crimes. But sadness, too, at this assault on peace. Were France’s streets safe, or was it an illusion? If safety was an illusion there, then is it an illusion in other places, like Canada? If we are not safe, should we be scared? And if we are scared, does that mean that the terrorists win? The problem is, it’s not as simple as winning and losing, or good versus evil, or us versus them. It’s hard to fathom, behind the wanton terror, but the other side believes its cause is right and just, too. And though we must not allow terror to triumph, the threat is scattered and unidentifiable. It’s tempting to seek vengeance, but where do we go and what can we hope to accomplish there? It’s not wholly wrong to wage war. Indeed, it would be wrong to meekly condone Islamic State’s violence and human rights atrocities. Primarily, though, Canada must be a voice for peace in the world. It may be that in this instance, we will need to fight for peace, but if we must fight, it should be done with the belief that there exists a better way. The shootings and the bombings that terrorized Paris last week do not signal that the world is spinning into a descent toward war and violence and death, because it isn’t. Rather, as the world revolves, humanity continues to evolve toward a more peaceful existence. It’s hard to believe in times like these, but it’s happening, though slowly, too slowly. Mahatma Gandhi said, “There is no way to peace. Peace is the way.” Peace must be not only our hope, but our guiding principle. It must be so. World peace depends on it.

As for the aforementioned toy drive, the fundraiser begins today (Nov. 17), taking toy donations for Nanaimo’s needy children and complementing that, Hamperville, Nanaimo’s Christmas Hamper program, also begins today, taking food donations to provide for the needy for the holiday season.

Emptier library will turn off patrons To the Editor,

Re: Petition targets lack of books, Nov. 10. Because of the drastic drop in the number of books left after renovations to the Harbourfront Library, these renovations are a backward step in providing books to our community. Over half the books have disappeared. But, perhaps just as bad is the major fault brought about by the replacement

of the old five-row bookshelves, used around the world, by low-rise threerow bookshelves. I am sure this replacement was made to allow a clear view across the whole main floor. The problem with a lovely view in a library is, who needs it? The three-high stacks mean the bottom one-third will be difficult for many to see or get down to. The second row up is difficult

for many as well, so perhaps half the books will be unavailable for browsing to our aging population. The library should expect with so few titles available and in such inconvenient shelving, there will be a halving of the number of visitors and that they will be taking out fewer books. I suggest changing those three-shelf units back to five-shelf ones, by build-

Wait and see on Keystone To the Editor,

The recent announcement by U.S. President Barack Obama saying no to the construction of the Keystone pipeline is not the final decision. The U.S. is having its general election in November 2016, and if the Republicans win government, the Keystone pipeline will be built. Both the new Liberal government in Canada and the Republican party in the U.S. want to see this project proceed as it would create jobs and when the pipeline is fully operational, it will bring in revenue from royalties and taxes to the governments on both sides of the border.

Lighting and throwing firecrackers around Halloween is not only dangerous, but frightening for animals, says letter writer.

Firecrackers stressful for pets and owners To the Editor,

Re: Beefs and Bouquets, Nov. 12. In response to the person who beefed about teenagers letting off firecrackers, let me explain a few things to you. In the first place, letting off fireworks without a permit is illegal. Lighting firecrackers and throwing them randomly is extremely dangerous both to the thrower and wherever they land. Not only animals, but elderly people with heart problems, people on bicycles and pedestrians could be seriously affected. Secondly, as far as frightening dogs in particular is concerned, I foster two

rescue dogs, one of which was very nervous right from the start; however, because of the firecrackers, she is now suffering post-traumatic stress disorder and is on medication prescribed by the vet. She is not eating, shakes, pants and drools at the slightest loud noise, and is afraid to go outside after dark. On future occasions when firecrackers are likely to be set off, my friends and I will be patrolling the streets in our area to see exactly who is doing this, and their illegal activities will be reported to the police.

ing them up or by bringing back the old ones, if they haven’t been turned to kindling. And the suggestion that most of the lost books are in other branches means those other branches should have had more books instead of empty spaces. I’d bet most of the books are in storage and could be brought back.

Hopeful, peaceful spirit can somehow win the day Re: There’s more to democracy than just politics, Opinion, Oct. 27. Right on, Dr. Suzuki. Things are definitely looking up, believe it or not, and such a united way of being is part of what it will take to get us where we want to be, not just a peaceful, united and prosperous Canada, but such a world as well. The truth is, there are many signs that give us hope that we will, in fact, get there. A new spirit has begun to appear in the world, and if you look you can see it breaking out everywhere. This new spirit of the age seems to have three main overall thrusts: worldmindedness, as it increasingly sweeps away national, religious, gender and racial barriers; justice and equity, especially for the oppressed, poor and downtrodden peoples of the world; and a greater, more spiritual sense of our responsibility to be stewards of the planet’s future. Some see this rapid change across the planet as a ‘new-age’ phenomenon, but others see it as simply the result of evolutionary advances in technology, human consciousness, education and a shrinking world. Many philosophers, writers, journalists, activists, observers, pundits and scientists have opined on these changes in human consciousness during the past century, and most would agree that a profound intellectual and spiritual shift is now occurring. So take hope, people. World peace is not just possible, it’s going to happen. When, you ask? That’s the kicker. It’s up to us. The harder we work together in whichever of the above-named areas we choose, the sooner it will come about. So put on your boots, grab your neighbour’s hand and let’s get started.

Tenors banter on stage Trio feels like family after years of performing for global audiences BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN

eltic Tenor James Nelson was three years old, standing in front of a church congregation, singing a solo when his voice cracked on the high note. “I got really upset and ran to my mother,” he said. It took several years before he ventured into the world of singing again. It wasn’t until university when he did a rock opera based on the Lord of the Rings. “Somebody said you have a great voice, but you need it trained,” said Nelson. That prompted him to go to London and seek out a voice coach. Since then, Nelson has had more than 50 opera and operetta roles, besides being a member of The Celtic Tenors, a trio that also

includes Irish singers Matthew Gilsenan and Daryl Simpson. The tenors have garnered a global fan base through their witty onstage chitchat, voices and friendly demeanours. Nelson said part of the reason for the group’s success is not taking itself too seriously. The three have fun bantering back and forth between songs during performances. The members are also a close-knit group, like family. “We know each other intimately at this stage,” said Nelson. “We know everything about each other. We are like brothers.” It also comes down to the wide range of styles the trio sings on stage that appeal to a wide audience. They sing everything from classical to ’60s hits by Simon and Garfunkel to new songs by Dolly Parton. During his off time from tour-

ing, Nelson is involved with the Kenya Build project, which helps give children who have been orphaned by AIDS a better life by building accommodations and educational facilities. When the tenors take their touring break, Nelson heads to Kenya to help. “These are kids who have literally been born into a living hell, but it’s giving them a second chance at life,” he said. During the Nanaimo performance the tenors will sing songs from their 12 albums, including from the group’s newest album, Timeless. The Vancouver Island Symphony hosts The Celtic Tenors’ performance at the Port Theatre Friday (Nov. 20) at 7:30 p.m. Tickets range from $38 to $67.50 or $18 for students and are available by calling 250-754-8550 or online at www.porttheatre.com. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Vocalist ‘absolutely mesmerized’ by singer’s unique song stylings BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN

Cayla Brooke couldn’t shake the rare singing style of Eva Cassidy out of her head after learning about the artist. Cassidy was generally unknown during her lifetime, outside her home state of Washington. It wasn’t until after her death of melanoma in 1996 that her music gained recognition on the international market with more than 10

million of her recordings sold worldwide. Brooke learned about Cassidy from her massage therapist, which prompted her to look up the star on YouTube. “I was absolutely mesmerized,” said Brooke. “It was just an instant fascination and I couldn’t believe as a vocalist I had never heard of her. She is basically a North American treasure, but she isn’t well known in North America.” What was unique about

Cassidy, said Brooke, is she became famous for singing cover songs instead of original compositions. “She was a real song stylist and was able to have a real unique take on songs. They are sometimes breathtakingly beautiful,” said Brooke. The similarities between their lives also struck Brooke. They were both self-taught singers and had similar styles. Cassidy’s life inspired

Brooke to write a play about her journey discovering the singer. She wrote, Eva Cassidy How Can I Keep from Singing, in May 2013 and through hard work and persistence by September 2013 she was performing it on stage. Brooke plays herself in the production. “I don’t play her. I do my spin on her spin of the songs,” said Brooke. It touches on Cassidy’s life from her beginnings in Washington to her

Tour peeks behind scenes I MUSEUM VISITORS can learn about creating exhibits. By RACHEL STERN The News BulleTiN

People interested in learning how museum exhibits go from an idea to a floor display can satisfy their curiosity during the Nanaimo Museum’s Behind the Scenes tour. The tour is Thursday (Nov. 19) from 1:30-2:15 p.m. at the museum. People will get to discuss the process with Aimee Greenaway, interpretation curator, and Richard Slingerland, exhibit design curator. “We timed it for while we are preparing for the Christmas exhibit. People can talk to Richard and me and learn about the specific things that go into creating an exhibit,” said Greenaway. Slingerland works on the design and Greenaway works on the historical information. “It will really be seeing how exhibits go from an idea to physically being built,” said Greenaway. The museum sets its exhibit schedule about two to three years in advance to book the provincial and national exhibits and then confirms a year before. Local historical dis-

plays are built by the museum staff using artifacts from the collection. The tour looks at creating the exhibit, Christmas in the Golden Age of Radio. “It’s a wonderful collection of radios that came from a local collector, Fletcher Music Co. Ltd.,” said Greenaway. “It was a fixture downtown.”

Originally the tour was for volunteers, but the museum opened it to the community. The tour cost is regular museum admission; however, participants must pre-register by calling 250-753-1821. For more information, please go to www.nanaimomuseum.ca. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

How can I prepare for my holiday trip as a hearing impaired traveler? ■

Travelling with hearing loss can be JEFF CAMPBELL, RHIP challenging. If you use hearing aids, pack essentials such as extra batteries, tubes, cleaning tools, a waterproof case and drying kit. At airport security, state that you are wearing hearing aids. Hearing aids usually do not trigger metal detectors nor will X-rays affect hearing instruments. Make your hearing loss known to flight attendants, tour guides and fellow travelers so that you don’t miss announcements and other information, especially emergency information. Inform hotels about your hearing impairment. Special provision may be made for your room regarding fire alarms. Before leaving for a holiday, visit your Hearing Care Professional and ask for advice, for clinic contact information in other parts of Canada or the US and to stock up on necessary provisions.

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!

Are my monthly child and spousal support payments LAURA ALLEN & tax deductible? KARA DUNCAN Payments of monthly spousal support can be tax deductible if correctly drafted in your order or agreement. Receipt of monthly spousal support is considered taxable income. However, lump sum spousal support is tax neutral, meaning that it is not tax deductible for the payor or taxable income for the recipient. Similarly, child support is neither taxable income nor deductible. For more information, consult with a lawyer. Duncan Allen Law is now open for business on Wednesday nights until 7:00pm!

Uncontrolled diabetes can have a devastating effect on the health of the eyes, being one of DR. PAUL GENEAU the leading causes of vision loss. Diagnosis and effective treatment is key, but it is estimated that one million Canadians are not aware that they have typed 2 diabetes. November is Diabetes Awareness Month, and the Canadian Diabetes Association is reminding people of the importance of preventing the disease, and of detecting it early and treating it effectively. Eye damage from diabetes must also be detected early to be able to preserve vision. Guidelines recommend that people with diabetes have their eye health assessed yearly. Optometrists report the findings of eye health assessments of their patients with diabetes to the family physician, to assist in managing the condition. Whether or not you have diabetes, a thorough eye examination is one of your best ways to protect against vision loss. Make an appointment with an optometrist today.

There is a little-known provision in the Property Transfer Tax Act that eliminates the requirement for this tax when a principal residence is transferred between related individuals, including a parent and child. This means parents and children could “swap” homes without paying property transfer tax; or, if the parent moves on to supported housing a child could purchase and move into a parent’s home without paying property transfer tax, within specific guidelines outlined under the legislation.

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.

Flu Information for 2015-2016 Cases of influenza have not surfaced much yet for the 2015/16 flu season. DR. KAREN L. FRASER There has been a relatively mild digestive flu that has been sweeping our area, however, and should not be confused with the influenza virus. Symptoms of influenza may include body aches, chills, fever, fatigue, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. The symptoms tend to last from 7-14 days. The naturopathic physicians at the Arbour Wellness Centre at 3955 Victoria Ave offers a general immune boosting protocol that we have been using for over a decade that works well and patients trust. Try boosting your immune system naturally this fall – just ask us how! Naturopathic consults are covered by most extended health care plans.

Can a chiropractor help my sciatica?

“Sciatica” is the term for an irritation of the sciatic nerve which runs from the DR. KAREN MATTERN buttocks down the back of the thigh to the knee, and sometimes down the calf to the heel. It’s commonly assumed that sciatica is caused by a disc herniation in the low back but in many cases this is not the cause. Also, posterior leg pain is not always from the sciatic nerve. Leg pain is commonly due to abnormal movement of spinal and pelvic joints causing nerve irritation or referred pain. Your chiropractor can determine the most likely cause of any leg pain. Several recent research studies have confirmed that cases of leg pain, even with disc herniation, respond well to chiropractic treatment. If you have sciatic pain, low back pain or leg pain, call us or check out our website.

Mortgage Brokers There are so many places to get mortgages? Why go with a mortgage broker?

SHARON FAUCHON,

You’re right, there are several different options KRISTA VERHIEL for those who are looking for a mortgage. Some of which are traditional banks, local credit unions, online companies and mortgage brokers. Some basic information about each is as follows…. Banks are well known, trustworthy, but many different people will work with you and they only have their limited set of products available to you and only offer their best rates to high net worth clients. Credit Unions are much the same as Banks. Online companies have high instances of fraud, they are usually full of fine print and false rate promises plus you never meet a person it’s all by phone or email especially not ideal for first-time homebuyers or anyone with questions. Mortgage brokers are local people who you can go to an office and meet and have a lasting business relationship with one person, we have access to 75+ different banks, credit unions & lenders to get you the best product for your needs and always the lowest rate for everyone. A mortgage broker is more personal than a large company and we work for you not the company who is lending you the money meaning we always have your best interest at heart and best of all our services are FREE to you, we are paid by the lenders!

Bankruptcy

GARETH SLOCOMBE, CA, CIRP

Each province has it’s own set of exemptions for assets which are not permitted to be seized by either creditors or the trustee in a bankruptcy. In B.C. the Court Order Enforcement Act allows you to keep one motorized vehicle with a value of up to $5,000. Under certain specific circumstances, some vehicles may qualify for the “tools of the trade” exemption which is set at $10,000. The above dollar values are considered to be realizable values, not original costs. For a vehicle which has been given up as collateral for a loan, the value is the amount of “equity” in the vehicle after deducting the amount of the outstanding secured loan. For a vehicle valued below the exemption amount but which has been given up as collateral for a loan, the bankrupt would be required to continue making payments to the lender in order to keep the vehicle. As long as the financing payments are being made and the agreement is not in default, the lender is not permitted to seize the vehicle just because you have filed for bankruptcy.

My property is still on a septic system and it is getting old. Can I connect to the City sanitary sewer?

How Does Diabetes Affect My Feet?

If the City sanitary sewer is readily accessible in your area, it would be possible to connect to the main sewer line. It is a good idea to upgrade from an aging septic system to the City sanitary sewer system before any damage occurs from a malfunction. A permit and inspection is necessary for the hookup so the City can keep accurate records and ensure all standards are met. Excavation for the new sewer line will be necessary and will connect the house to the main sewer line. Your septic system will also be pumped and decommissioned. Your new sewer line will then be fully functional. VI OUTDOOR offers no-charge estimates for sanitary sewer connections, complete septic decommissioning and perimeter drain upgrading. 250-739-9273 viom.ca

Hypnotherapy How can Hypnosis help me change my life to create more abundance?

Are you stuck in a rut repeating the same TRACY L. THOMPSON old self-defeating and harmful patterns in your life? Sometimes we make up stories as to the meaning of our life experiences and then we tell these stories over and over again to ourselves and others. Until eventually we come to believe that these stories are true. Statements from our stories sound like, “I’m not good enough”, “I’m not important”, “Life is not safe”, “I’m a failure”, “I’m not smart enough” or any number of negative limiting beliefs and statements that keep us from creating success and abundance in our life. By using hypnosis it can help you learn to release those old stories and then help you create a new story that is empowering, confident, creative and prosperous. If you are interested in learning more book an appointment for a FREE consultation soon.

What is my home Comparative worth? Market Analysis

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.

One of the most troublesome complications of Diabetes strikes the feet first. Elevated blood DR. KATIA LANGTON sugar damages small blood vessels in the feet 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.

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS DEATHS

BREED, William Anthony (Bill) It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that the family of William (Bill) Breed, announce the passing of their dear husband, father, grandfather and friend on November 5th, 2015 at the age of seventy-two. Predeceased by his parents, Mary and William Breed, Bill is survived by his wife of fifty years: Jackie, his daughter: Cindy (Alvin), son: Mark (Sandra), grandchildren: Dylan, Steven, Sarah, Hillary, Benjamin and Curt, sister: Madeline, brother in-law: Malcolm (Barbara), many nieces and nephews and long time work partner and friend, Craig (Denise.) Bill was born in Victoria, grew up in Burnaby, and spent a short time in Surrey, when he and Jackie married. They moved to Ladysmith, where they spent a number of years until finally settling in Nanaimo. Bill was a welder/fabricator for many years and although he retired in 2008, he remained working in a “casual” role until he passed. Anyone who knew Bill would know that he was happiest when he was working. Whether it was at the shop he managed for so many years, at home, or lending a helping hand to friends when in need. If he wasn’t in the throes of an existing project, he could be found at the dining room table, at all hours, with his pencil, ruler and sketch pad, designing and creating his next one. A family man, Bill was a devoted husband, father and grandfather who enjoyed nothing more than time spent with his grandchildren. He enjoyed gardening, fishing and his weekend game of golf with his friends at Pryde Vista Golf Course. The family wishes to extend their gratitude and heartfelt thanks to NRGH with a special thank you to Dr. Wigmore, Dr. Ehman, nurse “Karen,” and the amazing team of ambulance attendants. A celebration of Bill’s life will be announced at a later date. ~ Dad – you will be deeply missed and will remain in our hearts forever ~ First Memorial Funeral Services 250-754-8333

Barsby obliterates playoff opponent I

FOOTBALL TEAM wins 77-0.

BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

The Barsby Bulldogs were dominant in their playoff opener. John Barsby Secondary School’s AA varsity team shut out the Moscrop Panthers 77-0 on Saturday afternoon in B.C. High School Football post-season action at Merle Logan Field. Barsby wingback Kyle Gach scored six touchdowns on the day – his birthday, no less – to lead the offence. “I just did my best, trusted my boys … Amazing blocks, that’s all I can say,” Gach said. “Best birthday I could ever ask for.” Rob Stevenson, Barsby coach, said he doesn’t recall a Bulldogs player scoring six touchdowns in a game. Gach’s breakout game came after he played in a backup role during the regular season. “It’s part of our next-man-up philosophy,” Stevenson said. “He’s a quality athlete, studies the game hard, plays

A block from Barsby Bulldogs player Johnson Nguyen, front left, helps teammate Kyle Gach make it across the goal line for a touchdown during a AA varsity football game against the Moscrop Panthers on Saturday at Merle Logan Field. The home team won by a final score of 77-0.

a lot heavier than he weighs and he’s running behind a terrific offensive line on a short field, so you can get in the endzone pretty quick.”

Barsby’s defence, meanwhile, was stifling and didn’t allow a first down until the dying moments of the fourth quarter. The Panthers

switched up their offensive game plan for the post-season, but it didn’t fool the ’Dawgs. “We’re pretty stubborn about getting out of our

base defence…” Stevenson said. “It was really a Week 10 Barsby defence against a Week 1 offence.” Doyle Sosnowski, defensive end, said

Barsby “tore it up” on D and stayed focused through all four quarters. “We’ve seen all types of offence against our defence. We just stick to our guns and do what we’ve been doing and it always seems to work out,” he said. Five of Gach’s seven carries went for major scores as part of a 134yard performance, and he added one receiving TD from Austin Olson. Johnson Nguyen ran for 144 yards and scored two touchdowns. Quarterback Nathanael Durkan had a passing TD and a rushing TD, Cory Fletcher also scored a TD and Rodrigo Poco was 9-for-10 kicking converts. Defensively, Nguyen had five tackles and a sack and Sosnowski also had five tackles. Matt Cooley, Parker Bowles and Durkan had interceptions and Dylan Saggers recovered a fumble. GAME ON …

Barsby will play the Abbotsford Panthers in the quarterfinals next Saturday (Nov. 21) at 1 p.m. at Merle Logan Field. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Junior varsity Bulldogs advance in wet-weather win Both teams ended up wet, but only one group ended up winners. The Barsby Bulldogs dominated the Hugh Boyd Trojans by a 40-6 score to open the junior varsity football post-season on a rainy Thursday evening at Merle Logan Field. “I think the weather helped us. We’re a grind it out team…” said Matt Heinrichs, coach

of Barsby’s JVs. “I was really happy with [our] effort. I thought our best week of practice reflected with our best game. They’re really coming together as a team, starting to jell as a team and that shows on the field.” Seamus Irwin led the Bulldogs with two touchdowns and Jacub Gillman, Zachary Taylor, Colin Nutting and

Ethan Laing also scored TDs. “I think it’s going to give us a good boost of momentum,” Heinrichs said. “Our motto is get better. We did get better this week.” GAME ON … The Bulldogs juniors will continue the playoffs against the Abbotsford Panthers on Thursday (Nov. 19) afternoon in the Fraser Valley. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

VIU wins all four on road The VIU Mariners were a perfect fourfor-four on the road this past weekend in PacWest basketball action. Vancouver Island University’s men’s and women’s hoops teams won their games against the Kwantlen Eagles on Friday and against the Columbia Bible College Bearcats on Saturday. The M’s men were 116-68 winners against the Eagles and beat the Bearcats 94-75. The Mariners women handled the lady Eagles 77-44 and then hammered the Bearcats 80-49. V I U ’s m e n h a d started some games slowly this season, but that wasn’t the case against Kwantlen. “We got up pretty big early and were able to maintain the lead. It was good because a lot of guys got to play a lot of minutes,” said Matt Kuzminski, coach of the M’s. “I thought the guys’ effort for the whole 40 minutes was pretty solid. We had some execution errors and things like that, but the effort and the enthusiasm towards the game didn’t wane.” Six M’s reached double digits in scoring, led by Josh Ross who had 32 points and 14 rebounds. Curtis Wilson added 17. The next day, John Thompson scored 35 points, while Jason Fortin had 13 points and 11 rebounds. The M’s women were led Friday by Lanae Adams, who had 23 points and 11 boards, and Sienna Pollard, who scored 16. The next day, Sara Simovic scored 31 points and Jamie MacFarlane added 15. GAME ON … The M’s host the Langara Falcons on Friday (Nov. 20) at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. at the VIU gym, then host the Quest Kermodes on Saturday at 1 and 3 p.m.

Jake (The Snake) Roberts is coming to Nanaimo this week to talk some old-time wrestling. Roberts, a member of the World Wrestling Entertainment Hall of Fame, will be speaking at the Queen’s on Wednesday (Nov. 18) as part of the Unspoken Word Comedy Tour, telling stories. “All the stories that you wondered about [from] the road, and all the crazy antics the guys pulled on each other, the practical ribs,” he said. He’ll talk about the old days with Andre the Giant, (Macho Man) Randy Savage, Ricky Steamboat and other superstars of the era. “I just talk about things that happened during those days,” Roberts said. “Some of them are pretty hilarious, and you add in all the snake stories that I have.” Roberts and his Burmese python Damien were fan favourites in the World Wres-

tling Federation from the mid 1980s to early ’90s, involved in memorable feuds against the Honky Tonk Man and (Ravishing) Rick Rude. Along with his wrestling tales, Roberts will also share more personal stories about the not-so-good ol’ days – his battles with alcoholism and drug addiction. “I made it through that mess and I’m three years sober now and feeling absolutely wonderful…” Roberts said. “Talking about my addiction and my alcoholism helps me. It makes me feel stronger and that’s really important.” So there’s no shortage of stories to tell, and Roberts is “having a great time” telling them on his tour. “I’m meeting the people that have supported me for 30, 40 years,” he said. “Wrestling fans, they’re the best on the planet. They’re so forgiving, they never give up on you and they’re always there when you need them.” BELL TIME … Doors open at the Queen’s on Wednesday at 7 p.m. Tickets will be $35 at the door. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Nanaimo Clippers forward Sheldon Rempal stickhandles in front of the Langley Rivermen goal for a shot attempt during Saturday’s B.C. Hockey League game at Frank Crane Arena.

Clips bounce back with win I BCHL TEAM beats Langley by 4-3 score.

The Nanaimo Clippers bounced back with a much better effort and a winning result. The Clips defeated the Langley Rivermen by a 4-3 score on Saturday night at Frank Crane Arena, one night after losing 7-3 to the Alberni Valley Bulldogs on home ice. “We talked about tonight’s game being a little bit of a defining moment for our team, because to be honest, we can either pack it in and lose confidence or we can bounce back

immediately,” said Mike Vandekamp, Clippers coach. “And I thought we bounced back nicely. We played a better hockey game and we were, I thought, deserving of the win.” The Rivermen scored the game’s first two goals early in the second period, but Matt Hoover scored midway through the frame and then Yanni Kaldis tied it in the final minute of the second. Nolan Aibel scored his first as a Clipper early in the third, then Hoover tallied what stood up as the game-winning goal on the power play. Goaltender Jakob Walter earned

his first win of the season as shots were 47-33 in favour of the home team. “We wanted to come out strong and get these two points and I think it was a great game by our team,” Aibel said. “We got a lot of shots and I think our compete level was very high. We wanted this game. I think we just

outworked them and it paid off.” The night before, Hoover, Will Reilly and Corey Renwick scored goals and Evan Johnson suffered the loss. GAME ON … The Clippers host the Victoria Grizzlies on Wednesday (Nov. 18) at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
