Council shows appetite for food trucks across city By Tamara Cunningham ThE NEwS BULLETiN
Nanaimo city councilors are on board with new locations for food trucks – but they want more of them. Nanaimo’s first-ever food truck licence process, discussed by city council last week, aims to open up new locations to street fare and make it easier for food vendors to get licences to serve. It’s a good start, according to city councillors, but they have an appetite for more spots for vendors than the city had planned to offer and greater opportunities for food
trucks to gather together. Until now, food vendors haven’t been allowed to set up street side, and have required both a business licence and park-use agreement to set up in parks. A new licence process, approved in principle by city council, would open up select roadways downtown to food trucks, including Front and Wallace streets, as well as areas in Duke Point and the hospital district. Trucks and trailers would also be able to set up in new locations like Harewood Centennial Park, Merle Logan turf field and the Brechin Boat Ramp. Staff members only recommended one truck per park in their proposal
with the exception of Maffeo Sutton Park, which could allow up to four vendors pending a master planning process that’s currently underway. Street locations allow one to two trucks. The new program would scrap the park licence-use agreement, allowing trucks to purchase one $790 licence to set up in any city park, street stall or parking lot open to vending. Food trailers will pay to $665 to set up in parks and parking lots while food carts would pay $165. Vendors would also have to be 25 metres away from restaurants. See ‘FOOD’ /4
Nanaimo school trustees will receive a staff report with recommendations for the school district’s updated facilities plan at a meeting tonight (Nov. 24). In September, school district staff presented a revised plan recommending closure of Rutherford Elementary School in June 2017, with students relocated to other schools, including Frank Ney Elementary, and relocation of high school French immersion from Nanaimo District Secondary School to John Barsby Secondary. The district recently concluded a 60-day consultation with stakeholders. Dale Burgos, school district spokesman, said it isn’t likely trustees will vote on recommendations at the meeting. Special board meetings are slated for Dec. 1-3. “The intent is for
Find quality employees.
[trustees] to take the information, take a week and then have the discussions starting on Dec. 1,” said Burgos. “They can make decisions or motions on the 24th, but it would get pushed to a regular board meeting or special board meeting anyways,” he said. Tina Bray, spokeswoman for Rutherford Open and Thriving, a group advocating a g a i n s t R u t h e r f o rd school closure, hopes the board doesn’t close the school without money secured for a new addition at Frank Ney, as it places the Rutherford community in a “horrible position.” “I think they have a gut feeling about whether or not that funding is likely to be ranked as a priority with the ministry,” said Bray. “They’ve had conversations with the ministry, we’ve had conversations with the ministry and I think they know they need to be concerned about that. “If they don’t feel that funding’s likely to come forward, voting to close Rutherford [is] a slowdeath motion.” reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Coins can help make Christmas special I CAMPAIGN SUPPORTS local causes.
BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN
A pocketful of change can help change a child’s Christmas. The News Bulletin’s Coins for Kids campaign, which started last week, is raising money this year for the Great Nanaimo Toy Drive and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Central Vancouver Island. For every family that receives a little help this yule season, it’s a chance at a unique and special Christmas story. “It means a lot,” said Kim Wilson, finance coordinator with the Boys and Girls Club. “We have families that just break down and cry because they’re going to be able to have a Christmas dinner where they wouldn’t have been able to before, or their kids are going to get a toy for Christmas. “They’re actually able to give their kids a sense of normalcy and a sense of belonging and having those kids being able to have the same experience as other children.” The club counts on its contacts in the community to come up with a list of families in need. Donations such as the Coins for Kids money helps purchase gift cards to supermarkets or malls so that parents can go Christmas shopping. Wilson said the Boys and Girls Club hears from kids, after

the holidays, about their merry Christmas. “You can hear them talking to their friends, and they’re able to say, ‘Oh, I got this and I got this,’ and they’re able to join in that too and not feel left out,” she said. The Great Nanaimo Toy Drive has the same goal of sharing the spirit of giving. Coins for Kids money helps the toy drive shoppers fill the gaps, if they didn’t receive enough toys for boys aged 12-14, for example. They consult Christmas flyers, look for bargains and talk to parents and toy sellers to determine the cool toys. Registered families then get to select the toys for their child. “We certainly
wouldn’t know whether Tommy likes art supplies or Sally likes sports equipment,” said Carolyn Iles, toy drive spokeswoman. The parents end up with a toy, a book, a stocking stuffer, an art activity, a plush toy for younger kids and a game for each family. “People who come through are very grateful, many with tears in their eyes as they leave, because they know that their children will be just like the other children in Nanaimo, having something exciting under the tree at Christmas,” Iles said. The families who benefit might be ones that have not had to ask for the community’s help before, she said.

Nanaimo man struck and killed on Parkway A Nanaimo man has died after being struck by a car on the Nanaimo Parkway. The incident happened at about 3:30 a.m. Friday when the victim, 28, tried to cross the highway just north of Woodgrove Mall and was hit by an older model Nissan Sentra driven by a 30-year -old Parksville man. The driver and his female passenger stayed and attempted first aid until police and firefighters arrived, but the victim was pronounced dead at the scene. The incident closed both nor thbound lanes on the Nanaimo Parkway and old Island Highway and traffic was rerouted through Lantzville for several hours while police investigated. Police said alcohol and speed are not considered contributing factors. No other vehicles were involved and the Nissan has been towed to undergo a mechanical inspection. The victim was wearing dark nonreflective clothing. The B.C. Coroners Ser vice has been called into the investigation and police are working to notify the victim’s next of kin. “Victim ser vices out of Parksville are assisting the driver and his passenger,” said Const. Gar y O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman. “They’re fairly traumatized by this incident.” photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Food trucks provide more menu choices From /1
Coun. Gord Fuller said there’s “good stuff” in the proposed process, but it isn’t that flexible and he wants to see more vendors at locations like Departure Bay, Maffeo Sutton Park and Westwood Lake. He’s also interested in public consultation and a reduced distance between food trucks and restaurants, after hearing of a nearby survey that showed it’s fast-food eateries, not full-service restaurants that lose to food truck sales most often. Coun. Jerry Hong called the proposal a
very good start, but points out that food trucks work in clusters. No one wants to go to one food truck, he said, suggesting the former conference centre hotel site could be a location for a group of vendors. Coun. Jim Kipp also doesn’t like one truck per spot. “The whole idea of the food trucks is choice,” he said. Councillors also suggested Diana Krall Plaza and Caledonia Park as other possible locations. Nanaimo city staff members will report back to city council Dec. 7. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Inbrief city scene
Six displaced by house fire
CHRIS BUSH/THe NewS BUlleTIN
Traffic trouble Firefighters deal with the results of a two-vehicle collision at the corner of Mary Ellen Drive and the Island Highway last Thursday. Two sport utility vehicles collided in the intersection shortly before noon, sending one driver to hospital with injuries. One of the vehicles flipped and slid on its side before striking a traffic island and landing back on its wheels.
Six people were displaced by a fire in a rental house on Latimer Road on Saturday night. Nanaimo Fire Rescue snuffed out a fire in the floor space between the building’s main floor and a basement suite. Damage to wiring meant power to the house had to be disconnected, displacing the residents. No one was injured and all tenants were insured.
Sewer-use agreement goes to vote Regional District of Nanaimo directors are expected to vote on a sanitary sewer use agreement with Snuneymuxw First Nation and City of Nanaimo at their regular meeting Tuesday. According to the regional district, Snuneymuxw wants to provide sewer service to three of its reserves, situated along the Nanaimo River between Chase River and Duke Point.
A division of
Sean De Pol, regional district manager of wastewater services, said sewage from the reserves would be collected by a Snuneymuxw collection system. It would then go to the City of Nanaimo’s system and to the Regional District of Nanaimo’s Chase River pump station and onto the Greater Nanaimo Pollution Control Centre for treatment. Under regional district bylaws, said De Pol, there are
terms that allow properties to connect and the regional district to collect taxes, but First Nation properties do not fall under those bylaws and thus agreements are signed. “We can’t simply service First Nations’ land under the existing bylaws that we have,” said De Pol. “We need to do it in a separate agreement.” Snuneymuxw First Nation did not return requests for comment.

Men need anti-aging products as well! Men prefer their skincare regime to be quick and easy, but they are also concerned with keeping their skin from aging. Gone are the days when men were timid about voicing their skin concerns to the cosmetician.
BERYL FESER
Cosmetic Manager Beryl has been serving this community for over 35 years in the cosmetics field. She is a certified beauty advisor, specializing in skin care and hair colour needs.
On the positive side, men’s skin gets regular exfoliation (shaving) and is a thicker texture but the negatives attached to this are that the daily shaving dehydrates the skin and the hunting, fishing, quadding and often outdoor occupation adds to the sun exposure that ages the skin. To keep it simple for the men we have a wonderful foaming cleanser that cleanses, balances the pH level, calms the skin and repairs tissue damage and is in unisex packaging. Cloud Vitamin A Cream as a day cream and Cloud Vitamin B3 cream at night will address the needs and keep it simple. If you want to add one more item to this regime it would be Hyaluronic Acid applied twice a day, especially in the eye area. Apply the Hyaluronic Acid over the Cloud products for the best results.

met in the same room “for quite some time” and he is frustrated. “We are not putting our ideas together, and that’s why the tripartite meeting was created – was that we each, face to face, explain what’s important to each of us and try to blend it into a business plan or into a vision together,” Dumas said. “I don’t think there’s any reason we can’t get it done, but it’s just the schedules don’t seem to work or there’s an election or there’s something else that’s in the way.” McKay said the city’s relationships with the SFN and port authority are fine and timing more than anything is the reason the trio haven’t met about the waterfront. The city’s 10.8-hectare share of the south downtown waterfront is being freed of impediments sooner than originally thought, according to McKay, who says everyone needs to lay their cards on the table and figure out the interests in the property, what future development looks like and the impediments. “Both council and the new city manager have a tremendous amount of work on their plate so I would prefer to see us prioritize her work plan, our collective work plan [first],” he said. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Friendship benefits man and dog Senior walks fish hatchery’s watchdog Odie BY CHRIS BUSH The News BulleTiN
If you count age in dog years, Odie, a giant of a black lab cross, and a man he’d count among his best friends are about the same age. Odie is 10, about 70 in dog years. His buddy Hans Dittmer is slightly reluctant to admit he’s 73. “I never let people know that,” Dittmer said. “They’ll put me in a home.” Most days you can find them walking the trails together around the dikes and ponds of the Nanaimo Fish Hatchery grounds. At first glance, Odie looks like a small bear, especially in late summer when he shares a bear’s relish for blackberries, munching them off the bushes, unfazed by the thorns. Dittmer met Odie eight years ago after a family member died and daily walks helped him cope. Odie, the hatchery watchdog, used to roam the grounds freely, following people walking the trails, but if he saw Dittmer he’d always come over and tag along. “He just made his

own mind up and somehow we just chummed,” Dittmer said. “He was almost like somebody had sent him to me. It was like, hey, here’s something to cheer you up.” When the yard around the hatchery buildings got fenced in, Dittmer made arrangements with the hatchery managers to stop by and walk Odie every day. Dittmer came to Canada from Amsterdam in 1959 and worked as a representative for the Bulova watch company in B.C. and Alberta “living in a suitcase.” He moved to Edmonton in 1972 to represent Bulova in northern Alberta. Just one winter of braving icy
roads in his Jaguar in Fort McMurray was enough to convince him to submit his resignation. “In Russia they send people to Siberia for punishment,” Dittmer told his boss. “I asked, ‘What am I doing here?’” The company promoted him to representative for B.C. and he moved to Vancouver with his girlfriend. Six years’ daily commuting over the Lions Gate Bridge prompted a move to Victoria in 1977 where he and his brother founded Battery One Stop, a replacement battery retail outlet that grew to 149 stores across Canada and the U.S. “It has to be part of a challenge. That’s
what I look for,” Dittmer said. “The moment it becomes routine I’ve got to move on.” Dittmer discovered Nanaimo in 1998 when he started taking courses at Vancouver Island University, liked the slower pace and made his permanent home here in 2000. Part of that slower pace involves playing with Odie and giving him treats on their walks. “It’s like having my own dog except I don’t get the vet bills,” Dittmer said.

Software creates extra work at schools BY KARL YU The News BulleTiN
Nanaimo school district is hoping the Ministry of Education will provide compensation for problems arising from new student information software. The district began using MyEducation B.C. software in August, switching from the B.C. Enterprise Student Information System, and said it saw performance and data conversion issues. A temporary position, created to help with the transition, had to be extended to March, and two temporary jobs were required for two weeks to clean up the conversion of data from the old system to the new. The district hasn’t requested a specific amount from the ministry, but it did say close to $40,000 in additional staffing hours were accrued. In an e-mail, Steve Sproston, school district information systems manager, said initial support requirements were higher
than expected. “Staff in the district have been receiving a higher than normal volume of e-mail support requests, which is difficult to manage at times,” said Sproston. “Users are spending more time than anticipated and the department has had to develop a number of work-arounds. This increases labour hours.” Mike Ball, Nanaimo teachers’ union president, said entering information can be time consuming. “The number of clicks it takes to enter the grades in with a comment for each student, it was calculated at ... eight clicks,” said Ball. “So if you’re dealing with 120 students, that’s a huge amount of time compared to what it used to take to do that.” The ministry said MyEducation B.C. has performed well after upgrades. It also said there is no plan to provide compensation to districts. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

EDITORIAL
Refugee crisis requires action
Islamophobia is disappointing, but we cannot allow it to keep refugees from making a new home in Canada. A world that was already leery about immigration became more defensive about borders after this month’s terror attacks in Paris. It’s led, too often, to outright racism, for example in unpublishable letters to the editor sent to newspapers like the News Bulletin. Fear of terror is understandable, but rejection of refugees is an unreasonable reaction and a nonsequitur. Canada’s new federal government is expected to announce a strategy on the refugee file today (Nov. 24) as it works toward its campaign promise of bringing 25,000 Syrians here. Many are saying that figure is an unrealistic ideal and are suggesting that the government revise its timeline to allow for further discussion surrounding planning, screening, logistics and social programs. Of course, those are all crucial discussions that will impact both the short-term and long-range outcomes of mass immigration. That said, the Syrian refugee situation is being called a ‘crisis’ for a reason, and crises don’t always allow for the same measured response Canadians might otherwise expect. We know that refugees will require a great deal of our scarce – relatively scarce, that is – social assistance resources. But we hate the sentiment that refugees will be taking from Canadians. Because isn’t the notion that people can come here and be Canadians the very best reason to help in this crisis? We don’t know if 25,000 is the right number or a realistic number. It’s a number that’s going to bring about some difficulties and challenges, and most importantly, some success stories. Let’s try to help 25,000 refugees until we can’t, or until we miss our deadline, and then let’s keep trying after that.

using a triage approach, when a proactive and comprehensive strategy is critically needed. To help resolve this, provincial and federal governments need to update the definition of infrastructure to include green infrastructure such as trees, rain gardens and permeable surfaces, and allow municipalities to spend money to develop and maintain these assets. It’s also important to make living, green infrastructure a crucial component of provincial and federal climate change strategies. Urban forests contribute greatly to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by absorbing and storing carbon dioxide in tree biomass, understory vegetation and soils. The unique, multipurpose benefits of living, green infrastructure make it an incredibly valuable tool for cities and towns to improve resiliency in the face of climate change. If we’re going to build, let’s build green. Green infrastructure complements and reduces costs associated with traditional grey concrete, steel and asphalt infrastructure. It also provides a multitude of co-benefits that improve the health and wellbeing of residents and makes our communities more beautiful and pleasant. www.davidsuzuki.org

Let’s make Nanaimo a ‘happy’ city To the Editor,
Re: City design affects happiness, Nov. 10. This article is right on. Nanaimo and other cities have encouraged urban sprawl, which has had many negative impacts on our happiness, health, social connections, finances and more. Sadly, despite the city having adopted a transportation master plan, I see little changing in this regard. In an effort to cut costs, the city has killed most of the funding needed to transition us to a more pedestrian/cyclist/transit-friendly city, even though doing such could actually save us more money than most of us pay in property taxes. By narrowly focusing on keeping taxes low, this council is keeping us slaves to the expensive automobile. The city could show leadership if it were to instead invest in trails and public transit. It could also vary the development charge costs (levied to

When city council is thinking of the budget, please remember it is not always the dollars at a business’ cash register that is the most important. It is the things that build a better next generation and the seawall and all the parks in Nanaimo enjoyed every day. We have one of the greatest treasures in the world, but it is hidden. The city should be advertising the quality of our parks, our lakes and our seawall instead of downtown with no parking or residents. When we look at the Nanaimo seawall we all have different ideas and memories. Before most of you were even born, my family used to go down to the seawall where my father would tell us that our great-grandfather, after his time in the mines of Nanaimo, did maintenance on the seawall. I am now 67 years old and can remember those walks as if it was today and as some of the best times in my life.

Canada should welcome refugees, not treat them as threats To the Editor,
The predictable knee-jerk reaction of our more rightwing politicians to our new refugee policy can be written off as a mean-spirited effort to regain some leverage with voters. It didn’t work in the recent election and it shouldn’t now. From a totally self-serving point of view, welcoming desperate families will ensure a loyal, grateful group who will be the first to combat any negative influences in the future. The worst course of action would be to re-traumatize victims of a ghastly

war by treating them as threats by creating ‘Fortess Canada.’ Let’s provide them a welcoming home and reap the benefits they will provide our country in the long term.
Dave Cutts Nanaimo
Our new PM confirmed that he is not reconsidering bringing about 25,000 refugees to Canada by the end of the year. Apart from the logistics of thoroughly reviewing and processing such a huge number in such a short time, has anyone consulted the electorate on how we feel about these people in our country? The politicians will assure us that care will be taken to weed out undesirables, but can we really believe this? What questions will they ask, and
what proof of their status will be required, and will they allow families to be broken up? We all want to help true refugees, but is this group from the Middle East going to improve Canada? Already about one quarter of the U.S. states have declared that they will not accept refugees because of what happened in Paris. Is our government the only one that is right, or are these states showing some common sense? I’m with the states.

Tale twists original fable Play features slapstick comedy, puppetry and jokes for children and adults BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN
T
o teach the town’s adults a lesson about keeping their word, twin siblings, Celeste and Ralph, enlist the help of a down-on-his-luck minstrel to overrun the town with rats. The tale harkens back to the story of The Pied Piper of Hamelin and is explored in Hamelin: A New Fable written by Leslie Mildiner. However, unlike the original, this story has a happier twist. “The original version was very, very dark,” said Mildiner. Mildiner said it’s believed that the Pied Piper story may be based off of two historical events: the Ottoman Empire recruiting boy soldiers or the spread of the plague across Europe, which decimated populations. In Mildiner’s tale, it’s the children who work to teach the grown-ups a lesson. The adults continually renege on their promises – instead of buying the children’s wood, the adults steal it from the children. The town is governed by a spoiled mayor and greedy corporate council members. Council steadily raises taxes until Celeste, Ralph and their grandfather end up homeless. “The kids come up with the idea of bringing the rats to town to teach the obnoxious grown-ups a lesson to keep their promises,” said Mildiner. The two live with their grandfather Johannes, “who appears to be the only honest man in the Hamelin.” The play has a physical performance style. Mildiner said there is some slapstick and the actors use broad movements on stage. “Kids love slapstick,” said Mildiner. There are six actors and musicians in the production and to create a more populated town, they use masks and puppets.

Eric Gow plays one of the rats invading Hamelin after being lured into the town by the entrancing music of a minstrel. He takes the stage during Hamelin: A New Fable at Malaspina Theatre this Saturday (Nov. 28) at 1 p.m.
“It’s tremendous fun and it looks fabulous,” said Mildiner about the puppets. “It allows us to have many more characters than cast members.” Although the play is aimed at children, Mildiner said there are still aspects that will appeal to adults. “I don’t write down for kids. I write with the kid in me,” said Mildiner. The production won a Jessie Richardson award for outstanding design
concept and execution. The play is part of TheatreOne’s Just Kidding for Kids series. It runs Saturday (Nov. 28) at 1 p.m. at Malaspina Theatre.

Audience members get a chance to sing along with the orchestra during its concert at Brechin U n i t e d C h u rc h , located at 1998 Estevan Rd., Saturday (Nov. 28) at 7:30 p.m. “It’s an opportunity for people to celebrate the noncommercial spirit of Christmas as the Nanaimo Chamber Orchestra plays through a trajectory of time, beginning in the 18th century and leading to the present,” said Bruce Farquharson, a board member of the chamber orchestra.

I started calling them instead.” Finally, Dennis joined the Tsow-Tun Le Lum Treatment Centre program again and moved into the Tillicum Lelum Aboriginal Friendship Centre’s Young Mothers transition house, a program that receives funding from

Last week was National Addictions Awareness Week and Wendy Dennis, a 25-year-old Nanaimo resident, had reason to celebrate. Thanks to a United Way funded program, she has been sober 18 months. Until a year and a half ago, addiction controlled Dennis’s life. Growing up surrounded by alcohol, she started drinking at 10 years old. High school was tough, and she was suicidal.

Fundraiser gives a lift The real estate board, the local Ford dealership and motorists fired up the ignition in support of Haven Society. The Vancouver Island Real Estate Board and Steve Marshall Ford Lincoln presented a cheque for $10,000 to Nanaimo’s Haven Society, money that was raised at a Driven to Give test-drive event held in September. This was the dealership’s most successful test-drive fundraiser to date, said Ann Marie Clark, dealer principal at Steve Marshall.

ALBERT WILLIAM FREDERICK BENSON It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Albert William Frederick Benson born on June 17, 1939 in Radway, Alberta. He passed away suddenly on November 11, 2015 from complications due to a fall 4 days prior. Albert leaves behind his loving wife of 53 years, Moira Benson, daughter Sandra (Bill) Shook, sons Ron (Lorrell), Buff (Lisa) and Ray (Contessa) Benson: grandchildren Whitney (Jesse), Ryan (Amanda), Travis (Emma), Martin, Brantley, Emmilly, Omar and Chloe. He also leaves behind a brotherin-law Bill Ritchie, 4 siblings: George (Betty), Doris Collis, Jim (Anita) and Margaret (Alexander) Gilmour and numerous nieces and nephews. He also leaves behind an honorary sister and brother-in-law, Annette and Gordon Clarke in Australia and a multitude of friends. Albert moved with his family from Alberta to Cedar in 1948. They started with growing potatoes and then to a dairy herd. He was a 4-H member and later a leader of the 4-H Dairy Club in Cedar. He was President of the Vancouver Island Holstein Club and received a 30 year Veteran Breeders Pin from Holstein Canada. He was a milk producer for 52 years. After retiring from milking cows he then purchased a herd of Herefords. His family shipped Holsteins to Japan, Cuba, Korea, Morocco and more recently beef cattle to Kazakhstan. In his younger years he played hockey, softball, badminton and roller skating. There was an outdoor roller rink in Cedar near the intersection of Cedar and Yellow Point Roads where he met Moira in 1960. He loved to dance and the Polka was his favourite. He loved his hockey team, the Toronto Maple Leafs and cheered them on from his comfy chair with Aussie the cat at his side. He could operate or repair any piece of farm machinery but he could not master how to use a can opener or anything that required small fingers. He liked to travel as long as someone else made the plans and packed the suitcases. He said all he needed was his razor and his toothbrush. In the last 4 years he cruised the Hawaiian Islands, bused to New Orleans and Mt. Rushmore, cruised from Vancouver to Sydney Australia and this past October did a 10 day cruise from Vancouver to California and back. He was a well-known and liked member of the Cedar Community and his stories and nick names for people will be missed by many. A Celebration of Life for Albert will be held, Saturday, February 20, 2016 at the Cedar Community Hall in Cedar at 1pm. Refreshments will be served. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Chemainus Theatre Festival in memory of Albert would be appreciated. Condolences may be offered at www.telfordsladysmith.com Telford’s of Ladysmith 250-245-5553

Donald Allen Golob It is with the deepest sadness that the family of Donald Allen Golob announce his passing on October 24, 2015 in Nanaimo. Suffering the indignities of cancer with as much tenacity, guts and pure strength of will as is humanly possible, he left us all with advice for the future: make the most of your life. He certainly made the most of his; completing the Pacific Crest Trail; trailrunning the North Shore mountains, the Knee Knacker and the Kusam Klimb; bagpiping, travelling the world; and being a super dad to his two boys. Work colleagues will recall his leadership and organizational skills, either facilitating with a not-for-profit or volunteering with IAP2. We all will miss his wit, intellect, insight and unique fashion sense. He leaves behind his loving wife Susan Clift, sons Johnathan and Benjamin, siblings, nieces and nephews, parents, many friends and colleagues, and Amber the cat. A celebration of life will take place at the Lantzville house in the New Year. A special thank you to Dr. Andrzej Buczkowski, Dr. Andrew Attwell, Dr. Alan So, the nurses with Nanaimo Home Care Services, and especially to Richard Golob and Julie Dunne. You all gave so much of yourselves in Donald’s 10 year journey with cancer.

It is with sad hearts and so very many wonderful memories that we say goodbye to our be- er loved Wife, Mum and Grandma (GG), Greatd Grandma, Gwendolyn (Gwen) Cass. Mum passed away peacefully with family at her side November 5th, 2015. Gwen is survived by her loving husband, William (Bill) and her four children, Sandra Bishop (Steve), Shirley Madarasz (Andy), Mike Cass (Wendy McKenzie), and Gwyni Cass (Jamie Walbourne) and Sandy Cass. Mum is also survived by her brother in England, Colin Fisher (Sheila). Mum will be forever loved and missed by her seven grandchildren Christian Madarasz (Tania), Sean Bishop, Nikki Ramsay (Quinn), Shannon Bishop, Michael Cass, Rachel Cass-Carmichael (Travis Carmichael) and Cassidy Walbourne (Chris) and many nieces and nephews. Mum was also blessed to have many loving great-grandchildren who will miss their GG greatly. Mum loved spending time with her large family, especially the regular gatherings where she loved spoiling all the little ones with chocolate and ice-cream treats – strategically placed so the little ones could find easily. Mum was born July 6th, 1923 in England and was a war veteran and very proud of the service she provided to her country. A war bride who came to Canada in 1946 aboard the SS Princess Letitia to join up with her new husband Bill and settle in Nanaimo and raise a loving family. Gwen (Mum) was a very generous person and will be remembered for her sharp wit and direct way of telling a story – always bringing a smile to our faces. The family would like to thank the wonderful nurses at Nanaimo Regional General on the 5th Floor and the nurses in Palliative Care for her short time there; you certainly made Mum’s last days with us very comfortable. At the wishes of Gwen and Bill, there will be no memorial service, but the family will have a private celebration of life to honour and remember our beloved Mum and Grandma. The family will gather at Swy-a-lana Lagoon at “their” bench that she loved very much. In lieu of flowers, a donation in memory of Gwen may be made to a charity of your choice.

With their best player at the top of his game, the Nanaimo Clippers can’t be beat. The Clips won all three of their games last week and Sheldon Rempal was the first star in every one, scoring seven goals over that span. Nanaimo handled the Victoria Grizzlies 5-1 on Wednesday at Frank Crane Arena, trounced the Trail Smoke Eaters 7-2 two nights later at home, and then edged the Cowichan Valley Capitals 4-3 on Saturday in Duncan. Rempal had the game-winning goal in overtime against the Caps to complete his hat trick and a remarkable week. His 26 goals lead the B.C. Hockey League and he is one point off the league scoring lead with 53 points in 27 games. “It’s definitely fun to be up there and competing with the other guys around the league,” Rempal said. “Obviously you look at it, but you don’t It’s about want to think too winning games much of it and get off your game … here and doing It’s about winning games here and it as a team. doing it as a team.” Nanaimo outshot Cowichan 34-22. Edwin Hookenson also scored, Matt Hoover had three assists and Evan Johnson was the winning goalie. The night before against Trail, Nanaimo came out energized, getting all the shots on goal early. “We wanted to get to the net and I thought we shot the puck a lot,” said Mike Vandekamp, Clippers coach. “We scored a couple of real nice goals, too, off the rush. So it was just one of those nights it was going in.” Rempal opened the scoring on a breakaway and finished with a pair and Corey Renwick, Hoover, Spencer Hewson, Chris Dodero and Matt Creamer also tallied. Shots ended up 43-27 Nanaimo, with Jakob Walter earning the victory.

The Barsby Bulldogs were beaten by the best receiver they’ve ever seen. The Abbotsford Panthers, led by star receiver Chase Claypool, defeated the ’Dawgs 50-36 on Saturday in the AA varsity football quarterfinals at Merle Logan Field. Claypool scored six touchdowns and amassed an astounding 300 yards of offence and was quite simply unstoppable. “We played our usual brand of physical football…” said Rob Stevenson, Barsby coach. “We came up against a pretty special athlete that could make plays up in the air.” The 6-foot-5 receiver, bound for the NCAA’s Notre Dame next year, caught pretty much everything thrown in his general direction – he had an interception on defence, too – and all of his catches came in tight coverage. “They really beat us up on offence, but our guys stepped up and hung in there…” Claypool said. “It was our quarterback John Madigan just throwing perfect balls and me trusting him and him trusting me to go up and get the ball.” Stevenson said Claypool is the best football player at that position he’s ever seen, but the coach also praised Abbotsford’s quarterback, pass protection and the other receivers. The Bulldogs made it close – they were within seven points with two minutes left in the fourth quarter when they turned over the ball on downs on the 14-yard line. “We played hard and for each other and with valour,” Stevenson said. “We played from the opening kick to the ending whistle.” Parker Bowles, ’Dawgs linebacker,
