Ayson Amann, left, Piper Tilley, Hazel Smith and Millie Haslam aren’t thrilled about meeting Santa Claus at the North Oyster and Area Historical Society Christmas Pancake Breakfast on Saturday. More than 200 children and their families turned out for the society’s annual fundraiser event hosted at Cedar Community Hall.
Christmas countdown starts with Black Friday Black Friday means ’tis the season for Christmas shopping, if it wasn’t already. The day after U.S. Thanksgiving is an increasingly busy shopping day in Nanaimo. Nola Dunn, Woodgrove Centre marketing director, said the mall doesn’t record sales for
specific days, but 33,287 consumers shopped at Woodgrove last Black Friday, compared to 35,072 on Dec. 26. “I think that [may] have something to do with more people have Boxing Day off as a vacation day or a holiday day as opposed to Black Friday

R u t h e r f o rd E l e m e n t a r y School is still on the chopping block, pending sufficient funding from the province and a final vote from Nanaimo school trustees. The school district recently concluded consultation with stakeholders regarding an updated facilities plan and a Rutherford recommendation remains similar to one suggested by staff in September. Staff suggest shuttering the north-end school by June 2017, with nearby Frank J. Ney Elementary school expanded to accommodate some displaced students; however, the B.C. Ministry of Education has not committed funding. The two parties have met, according to John Blain, school district superintendent. “The conversations were about what are the things we need to do to get ourselves into the queue … and one of the pieces is that we need to be in a position of readiness if there are flexible monies to come out of the ministry, not in the normal capital expenses. “What that means is if a project falls through, something like that, and they have some extra capital, we may be able to

fall into that or they may have the ability to look at smaller type projects,” said Blain. It had been suggested during consultation that French immersion be moved from Nanaimo District Secondary School to John Barsby Secondary, but the recommendation is for no move. Blain said information gathered during consultation could be forwarded to an NDSS site and vision advisory committee. “French immersion and district programs, that committee will need time to develop,” said Blain. “It’s a long-term discussion.” According to the latest recommendations, Woodlands Secondary would still shutter at the end of the year, with sports acadamies relocated to NDSS. Learn at Home programs from kindergarten to Grade 12 would be amalgamated to the Mount Benson school site and Skills for Life would relocate to Georgia Avenue School for September 2016. North Cedar Intermediate and Woodbank Primary students would both be housed at the Woodbank site in September 2016. The district will hold meetings at Vancouver Island Conference Centre next week, when Blain said trustees are expected to debate and hopefully vote on the recommendations. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Nanaimo News Bulletin 3
Twelve needles found in park I CITY STAFF concerned for children’s safety at Maffeo sutton Park. BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM The News BulleTiN
Twelve drug needles found dumped in Maffeo Sutton Park children’s playground this fall was a shock to city horticulturalist Margaret Mills, who says it’s a rare find and “very upsetting.” But it’s nothing new for the downtown community, which is grappling with an uptick in discarded drug paraphernalia. A parent alerted Mills, who maintains the waterfront park, on Oct. 20 that there were 12 needles left in the children’s playground. Six were still in a package, while the other half were used. While the horticulturalist has found more in other areas of downtown, it’s the first time she’s seen needles in the kids’ park. She combs the area for garbage in the morning regularly, saying it’s important to her and those with young kids. “I take that stuff kind of personally because … I maintain that park and have for years, and I would not want my own grandchildren or children to pick up something like that,” she said. In Nanaimo’s downtown
there’s been an increase in the past two years in discarded needles, according to police and city employees, who note an increase in the use of injectable drugs. Police report an increased use of heroin and meth and have seen new transient drug users. Two times this year a “massive amount” of used needles were dropped in parks, and in Piper’s Park alone, volunteers estimate they’ve found 50 discarded needles in the last six months, said Al Britton, the city’s manager of parks operations. “You always find a few here and there, but this year has just been prevalent with needles. It’s been crazy,” he said. Efforts have been underway to manage the problem, including a boost in safe disposal boxes from four set up in 2011 to 10, but people are still advised be aware of the issue. “A lot of it is getting the public to realize that … this is going on and just don’t assume the place is going to be safe when you let a kid run in there,” said Britton. “You need to be aware in the downtown area we have a large homeless population and they, from time to time, will leave a needle laying around. “You would hope that they would stay out of a kids’ play park, but they don’t.” John Horn, the city’s social
planner, said Maffeo Sutton Park is not a popular destination for people who want to share drugs because so many people use the space, but users do congregate in public spaces like parks and school yards, streets and sidewalks. Most local long-term intravenous drug users know what the needle boxes are for and dispose relatively safely, but some don’t, he said. Bylaw officers and city gardeners do regular morning checks of public spaces and the police educate users on safe disposal. The parks department hired the Commissionaires on a trial basis to disrupt late-night and early morning activities at Piper’s and Deverill Square parks. No communication strategy has been launched to inform the public about discarded needles, but it is a possibility, Horn said. The city typically works with downtown neighbourhoods that are affected by the problem. “That’s a fairly alarming message to send to 86,000 people – watch out for needles – when really the problem is pretty much the downtown core,” Horn said. If anyone finds a used needle, they are asked to call Nanaimo’s bylaw department 250-755-4422 or the Commissionaires on the weekend at 250-758-5222.

them from the law. He sees licensing and regulation happening only after the federal government changes the rules. “People seem to believe that if the city simply licensed them and regulates them from a landuse perspective that all of their problems will go away. Nothing could be further from the truth,” he said. Coun. Gord Fuller said council is in an information-gathering stage. “There’s just way too much to look at right now… Vancouver, Victoria and now Port Alberni are all looking at different options with dealing with the dispensaries and I think we’re going to have to look at a Nanaimo option,” he said. The RCMP investigation into dispensaries is ongoing. Fisher told the News Bulletin enforcement became a priority as people brought forward concerns about what they saw in dispensaries. While the detachment superintendent is listening to political views on the issue, he says he has to make a policing decision for the community at the end of the day and with information others may not be privy to. Action is also based on the laws of today. The Nanaimo RCMP never said it was going to take action immediately with dispensaries. “We said we are giving you ample opportunity to make a decision and we’re letting you know we do view this as illegal activity and after the seven days you may very well be subject to some sort of enforcement action,” he said. “That’s exactly what the message said and that’s still the way it stands.”
A man accused of stealing poppy donations has received five months in jail. Anthony edward Britt, 49, was arrested Nov. 6 for his fourth alleged poppy donation jar theft. Britt appeared in Nanaimo provincial court Nov. 24 and did not receive credit for the 14 days he has already served prior to his court appearance. he has been in custody since his arrest.

DISPENSARIES HOPE they’ll get a reprieve.
BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM The News BulleTiN
Police have taken no e n f o rc e m e n t a c t i o n against medical marijuana dispensaries since the deadline for storefronts to shut down passed last week, giving the Nanaimo Cannabis Coalition hope it’s won a cooling-off period. But the Nanaimo RCMP never said enforcement would come on day eight or nine, says Supt. Mark Fisher. Ten medical marijuana dispensaries were given a seven-day deadline from the Nanaimo RCMP on Nov. 12 to shut down or face potential enforcement, including arrests of employees and patrons on site. While some dispensaries did close storefronts temporarily last week, coalition spokesman Matthew O’Donnell said they are currently open and there have been no raids. Members are still worried, however, about the threat of police action, according to O’Donnell, who hopes a cooling-off period has begun. The coalition is now seeking government regulation and appeared at a council meeting Monday with Canadian Association of Medical Cannabis Dispensaries president Jamie Shaw to pitch the idea. Civic politicians made no move to look into regulating dispensaries as other communities, like Victoria and Port Alberni, have done. Mayor Bill McKay called it an illegal activity and said regulating dispensaries won’t shield The Season of Giving

Eco-school promoted at Paris conference BY KARL YU The News BulleTiN
A YouTube video featuring Departure Bay EcoSchool students will be shown at an expo at the United Nations’ climate change conference in Paris this month. The school received eco-academy designation by Nanaimo school district in March and the video features older students asking world leaders to make changes to help the environment. Younger students discuss what they like about being out in nature as part of
their instruction. Paige Fisher, Vancouver Island University professor, has student teachers at the school, and she asked principal Lisa Frey if Departure Bay wanted to make a video. Frey said the video is part of a project by the Pop-UpFoundation, an environmental program looking to separate resource dependency and environmental issues. “Basically, the underlying idea is ... there are lots of youths in schools doing really cool things to work towards a better planet and so the idea is, let’s
start networking and sharing those ideas. Let’s hear about what other places are doing and let’s learn from each other,” said Frey. Steve Rae, school board chairman, said the board is proud of the students and their accomplishments. “This is just another example of how bright our future is,” said Rae. “When we have young kids who are committed to such a fantastic cause, it’s exciting for us all.” To view the video, please visit www.nanaimobulletin.com/news. news@nanaimobulletin.com
Shopping centre predicts Black Friday will be busy From /1
A poll by Insights West, a Vancouver-based market research company, saw 68 per cent of B.C. respondents stating Black Friday is mostly hype, with lack of
great deals. Research from Vancouver-based consulting firm Collier International’s fall 2015 National Retail Report Canada suggests that based on prices in flyers of nine national
retail outlets, 36 per cent of products saw more of a discount on Boxing Day. Regardless, both days are great for retailers, said Dunn. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com
Man arrested in Tahsis bust A man from Nanaimo was arrested in Tahsis as part of an ongoing drug investigation. The early-morning arrest happened Nov. 18 when police stopped a vehicle on its way out of Tahsis. Police allege Mario Kurtakis, 29, of Nanaimo, resisted arrest and attempted to flee from police, who also found and seized a significant amount of marijuana packaged for distribution. The traffic stop and the ongoing investigation provided grounds for a search warrant, which was granted. Nootka sound RCMP members and Campbell River RCMP Forensic identification section searched a residence at 452 Alpine View Rd. in Tahsis where they found and dismantled a marijuana grow operation. Kurtakis has been released to appear in provincial court April 15 to face charges of production of a controlled substance, possession for the purpose of trafficking, resisting arrest, escaping lawful custody and flight from a peace officer.

EDITORIAL
Kids get a say on environment Maybe some of Nanaimo’s young environmentally minded students can teach the grown-ups a thing or two. Departure Bay Eco-School produced a YouTube video that will be shown at an expo at the United Nations’ conference on climate change this month in Paris. Students are the stars, suggesting priorities for politicians. They ask for expanded environmental education in schools. They ask for more solar power generation and electric vehicles. They ask that we stop cutting down old-growth forests and polluting rivers, lakes and oceans. They ask that we do more. Their requests are straightforward, simply spoken, and yet in those few words, they manage to summarize what many of us want. We do hope for real outcomes from the UN conference in Paris, and there is reason to be encouraged. This week’s first ministers meeting with the prime minister and the premiers in Ottawa, which set new climate targets and policies including, crucially, in Alberta, provides our country’s Paris contingent with greater legitimacy. We expect that our new federal government, anxious to make the impression of following through on campaign promises, will wish to be able to report back favourably to Canadians. We’re a little disappointed that our country’s standing emissions targets are to be considered ‘a floor,’ which means that standing pat is a possibility. But we like to think there will be urgency at this climate conference, because we know the time to act is today. We know the time to act was yesterday. In our capacity as movie critics, we give Departure Bay Eco-School’s video two thumbs up.If that’s what we’re sending to Paris, then we’re sending the right message.

Rushing to welcome refugees feels like misplaced priorities To the Editor,
As a compassionate Canadian, like many, I feel we can accept refugees, but feel the rush to fulfill a political promise creates security and health concerns. To use our military bases for housing also concerns me. When I look around my country and see the condition of some of the housing on the First Nations reserves and the amount of homeless people walking

the streets of our cities and sleeping on the streets I wonder where our priorities are and if this is more about politics and votes. Being our brother’s keepers should begin at home.
Gardo D. Gurr Nanaimo
To the Editor,
Why is it necessary to spend $500,000 in government advertising, designed to convince us that despite broad public opposition, having 25,000 refugees enter our communities is a national demonstration of our ‘compassionate values?’ The Liberal government fears a backlash from private sponsors who have waited months or years to assist a refugee family, only
to have their own government ‘jump the queue.’ They also fear that having landed, any refugee subsequently deemed inadmissible will use the Canadian Charter to avoid deportation for years to come. Lastly, this publicly funded plea to our better nature is designed to neutralize wide and wellfounded concern over public safety.

Re: Mayor isn’t best choice to represent city abroad, Letters, Nov. 10. It was a shame that Mayor Bill McKay felt he had to follow the rest of the sheep to China with Premier Christy Clark as she once again tries to give more of our province away. Her provincial nominee program does nothing for those of us bornand-raised B.C.ers who would love the opportunity to own an existing business here. Ten years ago, I would have jumped at the chance to learn a new business; I still would, if I had government backing. It wouldn’t take much for a government to purchase a business and allow someone local to run it, and build up some equity to be able to repay and take ownership. If the mayor and city council ever get their collective acts together, maybe the space behind the conference centre would get filled, and just possibly, we could have a homegrown foot ferry. We need to petition the B.C. Liberal government to start paying its share toward getting these projects started.

Re: Mayor envisions foreign dollars, Nov. 19. The thing that jumped out was the “unlocked a new pot of money” quote. Well duh, I stayed here and know that there is a lot of money in China. Why do we want to bring it here? Do we not see what it’s done elsewhere? Vancouver house prices are merely one item on a long list of undesirable consequences. I moved here after Jim Pattison said he’d put Vancouver “on the map” with Expo ’86. Our rent in ’87 went up 25 per cent. We can trace our lifestyle impacts all the way back to that moment. He did put us on the map. I want to tell our council and mayor to stay home and work, don’t be too fast to ruin what many of us came to Nanaimo for: affordable housing, space, less traffic, slower pace, time to live, etc. Already some of these are impacted. Let’s all forget the Chinese investor, as we can see how it’s gone elsewhere. Mr. Mayor, please stay home and work here.

Re: Mayor envisions foreign dollars, Nov. 19. I have to ask why neither the mayor nor Andre Sullivan would reveal with just whom they met? Surely the people who paid for this trip are entitled to learn what was or was not accomplished and general statements don’t cut it; we are entitled to specifics. Mayor Bill McKay says he would like to participate in another four trips during the rest of his term and presumably he expects us, the taxpayers, to once again foot the bill. I for one will resent every cent of such an expenditure unless the mayor can convince me that it really is worth it. Hopefully some potential investors will visit in the new year, however I have to hope that citizens will be given the opportunity to evaluate any multimillion-dollar proposals that may be forthcoming from China or anywhere else. Most of us enjoy the flavour of our community just the way it is and anyone who wishes to change it significantly had better be prepared to prove conclusively that such change would benefit our city.

Kirkwood Academy presents the classic Christmas ballet The Nutcracker this Friday (Nov. 27) and Saturday at the Port Theatre.
Nutcracker tale comes to life BY RACHEL STERN
A
THE NEWS BULLETIN
family, surrounded by loving friends, gathers in a parlour to decorate the Christmas tree. After the tree is decked out in shining ornaments, the children arrive, presents are given and the party begins. During the party, Clara and Fritz’s godfather presents them with a wooden nutcracker. After the revellers go to sleep, Clara returns to check on the wooden nutcracker and is swept into a magical world of forests, sweets and fairies. The classical tale of The Nut-
cracker comes to life on the Nanaimo Port Theatre’s stage during Kirkwood Dance Academy’s annual production of the ballet. The character of Clara is played by four different dancers: Madison Hovey, Abby Dishkin, Lauryn Rogers and Sophie Philip. “It’s a really good way to start your Christmas season,” said Rogers. Philip said it’s “cool for young kids to see the show and be inspired” because they see kids their own age performing. The Nutcracker production is for all ages. Hovey said the show is a

“good family experience” people can share during the holidays and everyone worked hard to ensure it’s the highest calibre of entertainment for audience members. The dancers practised 30 to 40 hours a week, working on dance techniques and acting cues. Becoming Clara was a challenging task. “She has a different connection with each of the different characters,” said Dishkin. “It was hard to find the character of Clara at first. She is very innocent and she has a lot of imagination.” The role of Clara is demanding. She is on stage for the
majority of the production. Philip said the dancers have had to adjust because usually they do solo or group performances. Each of the dancers loved the chance to learn the pas de deux, a partner dance with the nutcracker, played by guest performer Matthew Cluff from Ballet Victoria. The ballet shows Friday (Nov. 27) at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets are $26, $21 for students and $15 for children under 12. For tickets, please call 250754-8550 or go to www.portthe atre.com. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

The magical wonderland of Christmas comes to Nanaimo for four days during the annual Kris Kringle Craft Market. For many, it’s an event people look forward to every year, said Veronica von Conruhds, senior elf for the Kris Kringle Craft Market. “It really gives them that warm, fuzzy experience about Christmas,” she said. “It’s about leaving your worries at the door and entering the Christmas experience. The Grinches are left outside.” The goal of the organizer is to have people leave happier than when they arrived. The market features the wares of more than 150 artisans and daily roving entertainers Kris Kringle, Karole Kringle, The Merry Minstrel and more. There is face painting, gingerbread cookie decorating and free carriage rides. “It’s like putting on Christmas for 12,000 people,” said von Conruhds. “The elves have worked hard all year.” The market has partnered with the Salvation Army. People can donate food, clothing or money to the charity. Partial proceeds from photos with Kris Kringle also go to the organization. The market’s man cave offers samples of the Longwood Brewery and Arbutus Distillery’s wares. Nanaimo vendor Janine Wood, owner of Solera Designs and Solwood Essentials, is launching her new holiday season clothing line

The players present the panto Robin Hood and His Merry Men Nov. 27-29. “Like all good pantos they are based on fairy tales and adventure stories,” said Miranda Holmes, director of the production. Audience members will see all the iconic characters, including Maid Marian, Little John, Friar Tuck and Will Scarlet. “They are just really, really silly in true panto tradition,” said Holmes. “There are a few little nods in different directions with elements of Monty Python and a little bit of Mel Brooks.” Holmes said she focused on creating a “good family show.” The annual fall panto is the Gabriola Players’ major production of the year. It’s a musical with a twist on modern songs. People can hear

Pub hosts acoustic music night
I
LIVE MUSIc series hits the north end.
By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN
NICHOLAS PESCOD/THE NEwS BuLLETIN
Ali Prince plays her ukulele in the marsh at Pipers Lagoon. Prince has previously performed in the Live at Longwood acoustic music series, which is held every Thursday night at the Longwood Brew Pub at 8 p.m.
The south end has the Dinghy Dock, the Queen’s, the Cambie and other live music venues, but what about the city’s north end? That was the question posed a few years ago to the founder of GotPop? Concerts, Andrew Roberts. “I had people ask me, ‘why isn’t there any shows in the north end of town?’” he said. “That was a good point.” So Roberts, who knew that some nor th-end restaurants hosted the occasional live music performance, set out
to create a live music series similar to that of the On the Dock series and reached out to the Longwood Brew Pub. “They needed help up there,” Roberts said. Ownership agreed and in the spring of 2013, Live at Longwood acoustic series was born. “We were looking for ways to keep people there [at the pub] longer,” said Mike Campbell, owner of the Longwood Brew Pub. “We decided to give it a shot and it has been great.” Live at Longwood takes place ever y Thursday night on the top floor of the pub. The acoustic series, which is free and for all ages, features musicians from Nanaimo and surrounding areas. Regular perform-

ers include David Bitonti, Dave Hart, Paul Mitchell, Tora Leigh, Mark Bunt, Alexandria Maillot and Christina Lemmon. The series gives musicians not just a place to perform, but a new audience. “It is good practice for them to be out in front of people they don’t know because a lot of times some musicians will play just in front of their friends,” Rober ts said. “They get a new audience to play their music to. A lot of musicians are stoked because it is hard to get gigs.” Local musician Ali Prince, who has been a part of the Live at Longwood series, says performing at the venue has helped her reach new audiences. “They have great acoustics with an awesome sound guy and a relaxed yet energetic atmosphere,” Prince said. “It’s also great that it’s always a free
show and open to all ages so the audience is diverse as my sets.” Prince says the cozy atmosphere of the Longwood makes for a great show. “I like that it’s an intimate stage so you’re able to interact with the audience,” she said. After two years of hosting the series, it has not just attracted regular customers, but changed the atmosphere of the Longwood. “We’ve got regulars that come and want to see the music and it has built up really nicely,” Campbell said. “It brings a whole different atmosphere that the Longwood doesn’t usually see. It has just been a lot of fun.” All shows at the Longwood begin at 8 p.m. and are held on Thursday nights. The next Live at Longwood performance features Mikaila Tombe and is tonight (Nov. 26). reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

dock floats island talent DECEMBER WHAT’S HAPPENING IN
By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN
Situated near the shores of Protection Island sits the Dinghy Dock Pub, the nation’s only floating pub. It’s a place where, for years, musicians have gathered on a regular basis to showcase their talents. But it wasn’t always that way. In 2010, singer-songwriter Daniel Wesley had recently begun performing as a solo acoustic artist. “Daniel had been playing a lot of shows with a band at Old City and the Queen’s, but then he started doing his acoustic thing and then I thought, where would it be good to have him?� said Andrew Roberts, founder of GotPop? Concerts. Roberts knew that musicians sometimes performed at the Dinghy Dock, so he decided to give the floating pub a shot. “I hadn’t really gone over
Inbrief arts
Arts council hosts exhibit The Nanaimo Arts Council is hosting an anonymous artist fundraising exhibit. The show, whose Art is it Anyway? features donated work by anonymous artists. The opening reception is Friday (Nov. 27) located at 4 Commericial st. it features door prizes and refreshments. The show runs until Dec. 31, when a sale will be held from noon to 4 p.m. Once people purchase a piece, they can learn the artist’s identity. The council is also hanging art pieces at the wellington library Dec. 1 as part of its Art Around Town program. The exhibit will rotate every two months. For more information please call 250-7293947.
NICHOLAS PESCOD/THE NEwS BuLLETIN
Andrew Roberts, founder of Got Pop? Concerts, started the On the Dock Series back in 2011.
there and I had heard about it that musicians were playing there,� Roberts said. “We announced the show, announced the sale and it sold out within a week. So we added a second show and that sold out within a week. Then we added a third show and that sold out.� The performances at the Dinghy Dock were so popular and the experience was so positive that a year later, Roberts
decided to create On the Dock, a biweekly acoustic series that features local musicians and bigger acts. “Those shows went really well so I wanted to see how we could keep using that,� he said. “We’ve been able to have some amazing acts there.� Getting to the Dinghy Dock isn’t as simple as walking into a bar. One boards a ferry at Nanaimo Harbour for a 10-minute crossing that providing spectacular views. “It is a great experience to go on the ferry and come back,� Roberts said. “You’re not just walking into a bar. This is something special.� Roberts loves heading over to the Dinghy Dock Pub, regardless of the weather. “I still have fun going on the ferry even when it is cold and rainy because you’re going to a floating pub.� David Bitonti, Brian Hazelbower and Genevieve Rainey perform Friday (Nov 27).

Myths & realities:
You wanna roll like a gangster? ▞ MYTH: Gangs have formal organization and structure: Reality: By and large, few youth gangs evolve into adult criminal organizations and most gangs are loosely structured, with transient membership and easily breached codes of loyalty. With many gang members being arrested or murdered, membership is usually in a constant state of ux with internal competition for leadership roles.

Youngster packs 68 shoeboxes All Corbin Harker wanted for his birthday was to help others. The eight-year-old from Nanaimo raised enough money to pack 68 shoeboxes as part of Operation Christmas Child. Harker’s family filled one shoebox in recent years, but this year, leading up to his birthday in September, the youngster decided he’d prefer donations to charity instead of presents for himself. He continued to fundraise since then and surpassed his goal of 50 shoeboxes. “A lot of churches didn’t do as many as he did by himself,” said Breanne Quist, a logistics coordinator with Operation Christmas Child. “It’s 68 more shoeboxes that are going to go out there that never would have been out there.” The boxes of gifts go to children in need in far-off countries. The boxes include items like clothes, toys and toiletries. Quist said the shoeboxes are sometimes the only Christmas present a child will get in his or her lifetime. “Most kids in different places don’t have this stuff,” Harker said. “[Operation] Christmas Child, it’s for giving to kids who don’t have stuff like this.” More than 3,000 shoeboxes were filled in Nanaimo. There was a particular focus on filling boxes to be sent to the Ukraine, and Nanaimo’s Ukrainian Cultural Society supplied 50 knitted tuques for those shoeboxes. Quist and another local volunteer will go to Calgary in December to help with sorting the shoeboxes. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

The Home Energy Rebate Offer is a partnership program between BC Hydro and FortisBC that offers a variety of incentives for home energy renovations. Margo Longland, Program Manager, BC Hydro, says the program provides rebates for a variety of home energy upgrades such as insulation, draftproofing, heating, hot water and ventilation - with a bonus for installing three or more eligible measures. Many of the upgrades can be easily incorporated into home renovations. For example, it’s easier to upgrade your wall insulation if you’re opening up the wall for a renovation anyway. “By insulating, draftproofing and installing an efficient heating system, homeowners can make their homes much more comfortable in the winter and save on heating costs,” says Longland. The BC Hydro Home Energy Rebate Offer is designed to make it easy to get rebates for eligible products with a simple application process. “All that’s required is a completed application form and copies of receipts, which means that the rebates can help pay for the cost of the improvements right away...” Longland says. “Plus, the program rewards people for doing multiple upgrades over time By insulating, draftproofing, and upgrading to energy-efficient heating, with a $750 Bonus Offer for comyou’ll warm up your home and lower your energy bills for good.

The five-passenger Honda Clarity Hydrogen Fuel Cell car will be made available in late 2016 initially to customers in California. Its range is expected to be in excess of 480 kms, which makes it a viable commuter car. Now all that is needed is the refuelling infrastructure.

May the force be with Fiat
Winter driving tricky
by Keith Morgan
The Fiat brand has two very special custom-designed space vehicles on show at the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show. Fiat is displaying a custompainted 500e Stormtrooper car, in support of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens movie, opening Dec. 18. The exterior livery is inspired by the armour of the First Order Legion, with a two-tone black and white custom painting of the car body. The windshield and the side windows are wrapped to bring out the immediately recognizable visor and helmet of the stormtrooper. Inside, everything is in black and white, too, with total custom front and rear seats upholstered in leather. The dashboard is painted in white and bears the Star Wars logo and a First Order insignia can be found on the two-tone leather-wrapped steering wheel. Also displayed is a customwrapped DVF (Diane von Furstenberg) Fiat 500X. Mattel’s Hot Wheels picks up the movie theme with a beast of a car named for

Marilyn (Grammare) Humphreys November 9, 1945 - November 18, 2015 It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our loving Mom, wife, sister, Auntie, Grammare and friend. Marilyn passed away peacefully at the Nanaimo Regional Hospital on Wednesday November 18, 2015 in the Palliative Care Unit surrounded by her loving family. Marilyn was born and raised in Ocean Falls on the BC Central Coast, where she always cherished her relationship to the special and tight knit community and the vast group of friends that she and Tim had amongst “Rain People�. Marilyn was athletic in her youth and competed in softball, basketball and competitive swimming. Her love of swimming naturally led her to the role as a coach for the Quesnel Sealions swimclub when her daughters became swimmers themselves. In her adult life Marilyn fell in love with curling and golf and became an active member of both the Quesnel and Nanaimo Curling and Golf clubs. Her love of sports, was transferred to both of her daughters and her grandchildren, and after her playing and coaching days ended she became a vocal supporter at curling rinks, soccer pitches, softball fields, ice rinks, dance theaters, and gymnasiums all over the province. Marilyn was also very actively involved and a member of the Trinity Untied Church for many years. She strongly believed in her faith! There are countless stories of Marilyn’s compassion, kindness, and never ending energy for help helping others. She loved to be surrounded by her family and friends doing what she enjoyed the most; preparing delicious meals, baking cookies with the neighbourhood children, and sharing memories and special times. She is survived by her husband of 52 years, Tim, her daughters Traci (Dan) and Kari (Mike), her grandchildren Courtney, Jordan, Alena, Madison and Timothy as well as her siblings, Harold, Reg (Margie), Wayne (Maureen) and Sylvette (Claude). We will all miss her warm snuggles, unconditional love and zest for life! A memorial service celebrating Marilyn’s life will be held on Thursday November 26th at 1:00pm at the Trinity United Church at 6234 Spartan Rd. in Nanaimo. In lieu of flowers the family asks that you please consider a donation to the Trinity United Church or the Canadian Cancer Society in Marilyn’s name.

Beefs & bouquets BOUQUET To the B.C. Ferries worker who went above and beyond to help fill in the required information for the travel assistance form. It helped us get on the ferry on time for a medical appointment. BEEF To the Nob Hill neighbour who complains about parking in the neighbourhood and then chooses to leave their driveway empty and park on the street, leaving less spaces for visitors and those without driveways. BOUQUET To Emily, who found and kindly returned my stolen red wallet from the bushes. It is encouraging to know that there are people who go out of their way and truly care about others. BEEF To the rude customers who drink and drive and don’t even have the decency to gargle or chew gum before they talk in your face. BOUQUET To the couple in the booth behind us who paid for our dinner. By that time they had left, so my friend and I didn’t get to thank them. We are both seniors and so appreciated this act of kindness. We hope you read this as we would like to thank you. BEEF To beefer who beefed about the Harewood skate park. Why so bitter? You should be happy kids are getting their exercise instead of playing on technology all day. BOUQUET To Const. Cottington of the Nanaimo RCMP. He does his police home work, acts in a professional manner and cares about the community. We who live here should be honored that he makes a conscientious effort to make our streets safe. He taught me that no matter how minor the offence, it is important that we do our part to make the situation right. BEEF To those who let their dogs run on the top field at McGirr Elementary School. Pick up your dog’s poop. The kids playing at recess and lunch should not have to worry about stepping in your dog’s poop.
BOUQUET To Pharmasave staff at Beaufort Centre. One found me an ice cream bar and let me stay and eat it. BEEF To transit for no longer making bus schedules available unless you are on the bus. We don’t all have computers and smart phones. BOUQUET To Cindy at Haven House for her sage advice and unwavering support during the past two years. Also, deepest heartfelt thanks to Cam, previously stationed with the RCMP in Nanaimo, for his extraordinary calm, empathy and professionalism during my time of crisis.

BOUQUET To the kind lady who chased after me in the parking lot of Country Club Centre to return my debit card which I had left in the ATM. Thank you. BEEF To Premier Christy Clark. If you still continue to tell falsehoods about the wonders of LNG and spend the imaginary money that the B.C. taxpayers do not have, you will get the Pinocchio nose.
BOUQUET To Rick Mace Construction for the awesome job he did in refacing our kitchen cabinets. I would highly recommend his work. Great people to deal with. BEEF To the pregnancy centre. You advertise as being non-judgmental and impartial, but you clearly have other opinions. I don’t appreciate having your personal beliefs brought into a discussion about my life. BOUQUET To Rotary Club of Nanaimo North for sponsoring a monthly community breakfast at the Salvation Army New Hope Centre. Your good work is appreciated. BEEF To the person complaining about the Star-Spangled Banner being played at the Remembrance Day services. Veterans from Bremerton, Wash. come every year to participate and honour our veterans. Canadians and Americans fought side by side, protected each other and nursed each other’s troops during the Second World War. If you really must be bitter, consider directing it toward our enemies, not our allies.

BEEF To insurance companies whose 201516 calendars mark numerous religious and cultural celebrations, including Star Wars Day and Kwanzaa, but have glaringly omitted National Aboriginal Day.

They did not have any on the shelf; a staff member, Pablo, phoned about five stores to see if they had some and found some for me. BEEF The Nanaimo RCMP are giving notice to stores selling marijuana. I do not hear the RCMP giving notice to the marijuana growing plant in Cedar. If it is fair for one it should be fair for both. BOUQUET To Marlene.

BOUQUET To the Remembrance Day organizers for playing the Star-Spangled Banner at the Nov. 11 ceremony. More than 30,000 U.S. citizens joined the Canadian Armed Forces between Sept. 10, 1939 and December 7, 1941. Some switched to the U.S. forces after Pearl Harbor; the majority did not.

VIU Mariners on top in PacWest volleyball
Star’s scoring leads Clippers I
SHELDON REMPAL has seven goals in his past three games.
The VIU Mariners can be found in their usual top spot in the women’s volleyball standings, though they took a bit of a different route to get there. Vancouver Island University’s women’s v-ball team won two more matches on the road against the Douglas Royals last weekend, extending its streak to eight in a row in Pacific Western Athletic Association play. At one point during the streak, the Mariners won 19 out of 20 sets. It’s a far cry from where the team started, getting swept in the season-opening matches against the rival Camosun Chargers just five weeks ago. “Ever since, we’ve regrouped and we’re playing excellent volleyball,” said Shane Hyde, Mariners coach. After those initial losses, he said the team needed to go back to the drawing board, and that’s what happened. “We tweaked our defensive style quite a bit, we simplified a few things and then we just started to build on our confidence and our work ethic,” Hyde said. Defence and blocking have been getting noticeably better, he said, and serving has been fantastic. “So all the basics, we really went back and really hammered it out and made sure that we had it in check before we moved forward and I think that’s helped us

S
heldon Rempal says the Nanaimo Clippers are winning hockey games because they’re “fired up,” but that’s only part of the story. They’re also winning because their star forward is on fire. Rempal is the B.C. Hockey League’s Player of the Week after scoring seven goals in his last three games including a hat trick and a game-winning goal in double overtime Saturday against the Cowichan Valley Capitals. “He’s been on fire,” said Devin Brosseau, Clippers captain. “When you have a guy like that on your line – speed, skill, a natural scorer, if he’s available, you’ve got to get the puck to him.” Rempal said He’s been on it’s the whole line that’s been fire. You’ve clicking, as he, and got to get the Brosseau centre Matt puck to him. Hoover have been able to find routes to the opposing goal. The line can look dominant at times, as if it expects its shift to end in a goal. “You don’t think that when you come on for a shift,” Rempal said. “It’s not always about scoring, it’s mostly about keeping the puck out of your end, getting in the offensive end and getting some good pressure going and then good things tend to happen.” Defence leads to offence, he said, and it’s an important balance with coach Mike Vandekamp continually stressing the team’s systems and structure.

It helps, too, that VIU’s veterans are leading the way – middle Tylar Turnbull, power hitter Megan Rosenlund and setter Chantal Cumming are all playing particularly well and rightside Mikayla Wagner was a force in the team’s most recent win with 19 kills. All the M’s players will do their best to maintain momentum as they go into the final matches of the fall. “They’ll want to finish off strong so that they can go into the break and relax,” Hyde said.

“If we’re playing the system in our own end, then I think we’ve got a little leeway with Mike in the offensive zone,” Rempal said. “He’s given us the opportunity to be a little more creative and I think we’ve taken that opportunity and done well with it.” The numbers prove it. Rempal is second in the BCHL in scoring, one point back of Tyson Jost of the Penticton Vees. The season isn’t yet at the halfway mark, and already Rempal has matched his career best for points, 53. As a comparison, no Clippers player has scored 60 points in a full season since 2010-11. Fans are fortunate to be seeing Rempal scoring his goals at Frank Crane Arena this fall. He and Brosseau were supposed to be playing NCAA hockey at Clarkson University, but “some stuff happened behind the scenes,” Rempal said, so the 20-year-olds instead returned to junior for one final season. It provided Rempal with a something-toprove mentality. “I definitely wanted to come in and prove that I could have been at that level this year. [I’ll] just keep a steady head and keep going the way I’m going and hopefully bring it into next year.” First, though, there’s this season to enjoy, and a lot more goals to score and a lot more team goals to attain. The Clippers aren’t at the level right now that they need to reach to be championship calibre, said Rempal, but that’s all part of a team’s progression. “There’s definitely a lot of stuff we still need to work on,” he said. “But I see a lot of good things every day.” GAME ON … The Clippers visit the Victoria Grizzlies on Friday (Nov. 27). sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Billy Suede, left, breaks up Scott Steel’s pinfall attempt on Tony Baroni during the street-fight main event of the Vancouver Island Pro Wrestling show on Saturday night at the Departure Bay Activity Centre.
Nanaimo team beaten in tag title match The main event featured tables, ladders and chairs, and then at the key moment, interference. The Nanaimo tag team of B.J. Laredo and Scott Steel nearly won the Vancouver Island Pro Wrestling tag titles on Saturday night at the Departure Bay Activity Centre, but Ice, making his return to town, got involved. An Ice Pik superkick on Laredo resulted in a pinfall, and the champs, Billy Suede and Tony Baroni, retained the belts. “We had ’er, man, those tag titles were within our grasp,” said Laredo. “It’s not even worth calling [Ice] a Nanaimo guy anymore.” Ice explained his actions after
the match, recalling how he used to be the hometown guy in Nanaimo and it was “harmony” and “magical,” but now all he hears about is Laredo and Steel. “It’s something that I should have done a long time ago, is come back and kick B.J. Laredo,” Ice said. The venue was filled to standing-room only on Saturday. “VIPW is growing, skyrocketing,” said Brent LaPlante, event promoter. “If we can just build on that, who knows?” BELL TIME … VIPW will return to town on Jan. 23, when Laredo will face Ice in what’s being billed as the ‘Battle of Nanaimo.’ sports@nanaimobulletin.com

In other men’s basketball news, forward Jason Fortin was selected at the PacWest’s Athlete of the Week after helping his team to wins over the third-place Langara Falcons and second-place Quest Kermodes. Fortin scored 13 points, pulled down 13 rebounds and made five steals against Langara and then posted another double-double against Quest with 16 points, 13 boards and five more steals. GAME ON … Saturday’s tipoff time is at 6 p.m. at the Vancouver Island University gym and Sunday’s game gets underway at noon.
