Higher enrolment leads to deficit

Fire chief takes helm in Lantzville BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM

THE NEWS BULLETIN

To get to know the community, you have to be in the heart of it, says Lantzville fire chief Rob Chatton. Chatton took the reins from outgoing fire chief Tom Whipps last week, becoming the department’s first-ever paid parttime fire chief. He is no stranger to volunteer fire departments, most recently as assistant fire chief in Pitt Meadows. He sees his first tasks in Lantzville as getting to know his members and the operations, as well as helping to determine the level of fire service for the community and the training needed under a new B.C. training playbook. It’s a neat feeling to be the first paid fire chief, said Chatton, who sees it as taking the department to the next step. While a lot of the work will be administrative, it will also free members’ time to look after training, calls and equipment. But what he’s looking forward to most is getting back to a sense of community. See ‘LANTZVILLE’ /5

DISTRICT PLANS to use surplus to cover expenses. BY KARL YU THE NEWS BULLETIN

KARL YU/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Studying science

Lukas Whaley views some slides through a microscope at the Kids Conference. The Vancouver Island Conference Centre put on the inaugural Kids Conference on Saturday in order to educate parents and children about resources available in the community. Families had the opportunity to check out science exhibits at the Nanaimo Science and Sustainability Society area and the back of a Nanaimo RCMP police car, among other activities.

The Nanaimo school district is planning to use financial surplus money to offset an anticipated operating loss of close to $1.6 million due to higher than expected enrolment. Preliminary enrolment numbers for the school year were about 13,089 full-time equivalent students. Graham Roberts, school district secretarytreasurer, said because there were about 130 more students than projected, the funding allotment from the B.C. Ministry of Education increased by $348,558. International student enrolment numbers also rose to 297 from a projected 245 and because of that, the district received $730,000 in funding. To account for this, the number of teaching staff rose by close to five fulltime equivalent positions, while educational assistants rose by close to 12 full-time equivalents. Roberts said the costs of extra staffing exceed the increase in funding. According to a presentation made at the business committee meeting on Wednesday, the prelimi-

nary budget for 2015-16 had total teacher salaries pegged at $54,932,528, but with the increase in staffing is now expected to reach $55,298,783. An amended budget is expected next month. The district has a surplus of $5 million from previous years, which will be used to mitigate the operating loss, said Roberts. “In our operating fund, we’re running an operating loss of just under $1.6 million, which is being funded out of our prior year’s surpluses. At the end of the year, if things go as we anticipate, our surpluses instead of being around $5 million, will be about $3.5 million,” said Roberts. He said the district is no longer under funding protection from the ministry, which is additional money doled out to districts to “ensure that districts are protected against any funding decline larger than 1.5 per cent when compared to the previous autumn,” according to the ministry. “It’s very complicated,” Roberts said. “Generally I think it’s good news for the district because it’s actually easier to plan, because we will receive funding for our actual students that are enrolled. It means less need for building contingencies because with each additional student we will be funded for them.” reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

BY CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN

Don’t walk, jog, run or ride on the Extension Ridge section of the Trans Canada Trail for the next few months. As of Tuesday the trail, which runs between Harewood Mines and Extension roads and is popular with hikers, runners and mountain bikers is closed for logging operations by land owner Island Timberlands until the end of March. The closure also affects mountain bike and hiking trails. “The land in question is on Island Timberlands property of which the Regional District of Nanaimo has a land-use agreement for purpose of the Trans Canada Trail,” said Tom Osborne, regional district general manager of recreation and parks. The agreement allows for hikers, bikers and other non-motorized uses and includes Island Timberlands’ right to close the trails or reroute them if necessary for harvesting operations. The trail is closed seven days a week to the public until logging operations are finished. The regional district has posted notices at the trail heads. “Island Timber-

tional activities are complete. When managing areas with authorized trails we restore access when our activities are complete.” The e-mail also said the public can find Trans Canada Trail closure information through the regional district and Island Timberlands’ blog. It is not known if the logging will affect the trail or if the forestry company will leave a buffer of trees around the trail as it did not responded to requests for more details, referring

Teachers head to high court I B.C. Teachers’ Federation will rely on familiar classrelated arguments as it prepares for an appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada, says Mike Ball, Nanaimo local president. Canada’s highest court announced Thursday it will hear the teachers’ union appeal related to its longstanding battle with the B.C. Ministry of Education. The dispute stems from the removal of class size and composition bargaining rights in legislation introduced by then-education minister Christy Clark 14 years ago. “We don’t believe that government has the right to simply ignore collective agreements and rip them up by saying that they are not in the public’s interests,” said Ball. “In 2002, they stripped the collective agreement saying that class size and class

“

It’s a just fight and it’s one that needs to be fought and at the end of it, I believe we’ll be vindicated.

Nanaimo RCMP called in the Vancouver Island Emergency Response Team for backup on a search warrant and arrest just after midnight Sunday at a home on Haliburton Street. The suspect, a 33-year-old Nanaimo man, was allegedly involved in an assault in Decem-

Supreme Court of Canada is part of the democratic process,” Bernier said in a statement. “We are confident in our legal position and appreciate any further guidance the court may provide.” A B.C. Supreme Court judge previously ruled against the province and ordered it to pay $2 million in damages stemming from the 2002 legislation. The province appealed and last April, a B.C. Court of Appeal panel ruled in the province’s favour, prompting the Supreme Court of Canada appeal.

Lantzville fire chief ready to meet community From /1

“Pitt Meadows is a community of 18,000 people which isn’t huge, but you know there’s a lot of faces that you don’t know,” said Chatton, who said both he and his wife, Marisol, were looking to get back to an Island community that felt like home. He was born and raised at Shawnigan Lake and spent 17 years with its fire depart-

ment, climbing the ranks from firefighter to deputy fire chief before he moved to Pitt Meadows with his wife and two sons in 2006. “You get to know lots of people ... you wave at everybody going down the road, you get into the grocery store and it takes an hour to get a litre of milk because you are visiting with everyone and that’s what is really cool,” said Chat-

ton, who plans to get to know Lantzville by being in the heart of it at fundraisers, like Mine Town Days, and public education events. “That’s where you truly get to meet the people,” said Chatton, who also invites people to stop by the fire hall. “I can’t guarantee I am here all the time, but you see me, let’s have a chat.”

composition is not a bargaining issue. “We maintained that it is and it was bargained at the table. They maintained that it’s public policy and they get to set public policy, so the case hinges on collective agreement rights and bargaining rights.” Ball said the union has 30 days to file the facts and 12 weeks to file documentation and then a hearing date will be set. The dispute has been long and Ball said it hasn’t been a cheap process. “Government has managed in 14 years to save, not spending $300 million on average per year by stripping the collective agreement ... for us, that’s quite a few million dollars spent on fighting this, but it’s the right fight. It’s a just fight and it’s one that needs to be fought and at the end of it, I believe we’ll be vindicated,” Ball said. Education Minister Mike Bernier said he couldn’t comment on the legal aspects as it is before the courts. “We’ve always said that the BCTF’s application to have their case heard in the

CANADIAN COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER AWARD 2015

EDITORIAL

Stopping crime up to all of us It isn’t only men and women in uniform who can curb crime – anyone is capable of contributing. Nanaimo and District Crime Stoppers proves that, year after year. January is Crime Stoppers Month and a fine time to recognize the valuable service that the program provides along with its partners in the community, media and the Nanaimo RCMP. Technology has the potential to make things easier on tipsters. Those who witness crimes don’t have to call the tipline from a pay phone and hang up; it’s simpler than ever to submit information electronically – even via smartphone – and create useful dialogue with law enforcement. Crime continues to be troubling in Nanaimo and in any community, but there are sometimes indicators that the statistics are moving in the right direction. The stats from last year’s Vital Signs report showed Nanaimo’s crime rate had fallen 6.5 per cent overall. Across Canada, the crime rate has been on an overall decline for two decades. There is an argument that society nowadays lacks good, old-fashioned values, and while that may be true, we do possess good, modern values. Forms of abuse and violence that may have been socially accepted in past generations are no longer tolerated. So if we know that crime is intolerable and unacceptable, then it shouldn’t be a stretch to want to be a part of the solution. And that’s where Crime Stoppers comes in. Whatever the stats show, crime happens and will continue to happen. Certain heinous crimes we can only lament from afar and feel powerless, but in our own communities we can make a difference. We can be deputies, in a way – eyes and ears, Block Watchers, Crime Stoppers, the superhero’s sidekick who sometimes, improbably, saves the day. Hopefully the situation will never arise where we’re anywhere close to a crime. But when it does happen, let’s try to be Crime Stoppers.

section of the Morden Colliery Trail starts at the mine site in South Wellington at the end of Morden Road. The problem is after a few hundred metres, the trail dead ends at the Nanaimo River so more people opt to pick up the trail at Cedar Road or in Hemer Park. The best thing that could happen to the Morden Mine is building bridges across the river that connect South Wellington to the rest of the trail, which could also connect to Nanaimo River Regional Park and its trails. Now, you’re going to get a lot of people stopping by the mine site as a way point who might even get interested in saving it. The Regional District of Nanaimo plans to build a bridge. A feasibility study was approved by the regional board in October 2014, when a resolution was carried to develop two steel-truss bridge designs. The cost for spans that can handle pedestrians, cyclists and horses is about $1.6 million. “That is a priority project, based on the regional board right now, that we’re working on,” Tom Osborne, RDN general manager for recreation and parks, said in a phone conversation Friday. Anticipated bridge construction start, after wading through all the consultations and approval processes with government, land owners and other stakeholders, is sometime in 2018. Hopefully the Morden Mine colliery and tipple is still standing by then. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

B.C. students will learn in new ways this year BY MIKE BERNIER

This past fall, B.C. students and teachers continued to prepare for success in a changing world as classrooms began phasing in new curriculum that will make B.C.’s world-leading education system even better.

I’ve toured many schools throughout the province and it’s encouraging to see innovative teachers and students already benefiting from the new curriculum, for example: entrepreneurial high school students holding a fundraising campaign to purchase virtual reality technology; cafeterias being used as collaborative classrooms as students teach each other how to code for apps and computer programs; history class digging trenches to help understand a soldier’s experience during the First World War. In September 2016, K-9 curriculum will move beyond this year’s introduction and be implemented in all B.C. school districts. Also, this coming September the new grades 10-12 curriculum will be available for teachers to use on an optional basis. In September 2017, the full K-12 curriculum will be in place. We all have a role to play – parents, teachers, and education partners. The work we do today will have a lasting effect for decades. Imagine what today’s students could be doing five, 10, 20 years from now. u Mike Bernier is B.C.’s minister of education.

Alberta shouldn’t follow B.C.’s lead

V9S 2H7 E-MaiL: editor@nanaimobulletin.com

To the Editor,

Re: Alberta should consider B.C.’s good example, Letters, Jan. 7. Did the letter writer just move here? I’d say that Alberta Premier Rachel Notley has a huge problem to clean up after so many years of Conservative reign. Her government has just begun to roll up its sleeves and start the recovery, without a resource to pull from. Give the new government a chance, eh? I wouldn’t suggest any province follow the B.C. Liberals’ Conservative-style, armchair rule. Not unless you enjoy seeing children and families hungry, schools closed, or our elders ignored, and much, much more. That sounds grim, but it is grim. Christy Clark and the B.C. Liberals have a Stephen Harper mentality. They are secretive and have a self-righteous attitude. They will push through any mega project, with disregard to science, environment, or more positive alternatives. The unnecessary Site C dam, or the building of a huge bridge over the Massey tunnel so LNG ships can go up the Fraser, and the quiet construction of LNG storage facilities at every port, deep enough to hold tankers, are not sound ideas, but it all seems to be the Liberals’ desired legacy. The geography and topography of British Columbia is completely different from Alberta. There is no comparing the diverse beauty of both places.

Nanaimo, which are still costing the stillovertaxed Nanaimo taxpayers. Finally, to not have an independent investigation into the Colliery dams is yet again a very cold slap in the face to Nanaimo taxpayers.

Satire packed with laughs

Youth poetry contest promotes city’s culture

Dover Bay Secondary School plays poke fun at online social media and television

BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN

BY RACHEL STERN

Nanaimo’s poet laureate Naomi Beth Wakan wants to encourage Nanaimo youths to find their poetic voice. She’s created a high school poetry competition, in partnership with the city’s Culture and Heritage Department, to encourage young writers to try writing poetry. The contest is open to Grades 10-12, whether enrolled in a secondary school or home schooling. “I did want them to know what it is like to feel like a poet and write … just what it means to be a person devoted to the creative life,” said Wakan. She recently visited Dover Bay Secondary School and Woodlands Secondary School to discuss poetry with students. She discussed people being passionate and excited about something, putting energy into it, whether it’s skateboarding, swimming or writing.

eople can spend hours watching cute cats or babies on the Internet. It’s a distracting pastime that’s satirized in the play The Internet is a Distract – Oh Look, A Kitten!, written by Ian McWethy. The play is being presented by Dover Bay Productions as well as the play Bad Ideas for Bad Television Shows, written by Don Zoldis. “The shows are full of the kind of satire that makes you cover your mouth because you recognize the reality of it, the truth of it,” said Pamela Schwarze, Dover’s performing arts academy class instructor. “It’s a show that personifies characters on the Internet. The lines are so witty.” The Internet is a Distract – Oh Look, A Kitten! examines social media sites and other online sites, such as Facebook, YouTube and Google. Bad Ideas for Bad Television Shows is a comedy about network executives listening to prospective television show pitches. It features pitches such as one for The Altos, which features a mob boss who reads for her son’s kindergarten class. The mob boss gives inappropriate information for the young audience and ends up threatening some of the students. “There are a lot of really fun scenes that will get the audience interested and want to see more,” said Delaney O’Toole, who plays mob boss Jenny. “I enjoy getting to play such a fun character.” The young actors said the play is jammed with comedic scenes and interesting characters. “It’s really interesting,” said Anika Trimmer, who plays the character called Wife. “I think [audience mem-

By RACHEL STERN The News BulleTiN

Sometimes leaving a comfortable place in a person’s life can cause pain. Occasionally it leads to adventure and a change for the better. The theme of leaving places or people behind is explored on the Glen Foster Group’s latest album, Leaving The Lagoon. Foster, lead vocalist and guitarist, was inspired by his canoe and kayak trips and travels on Cortes Island and in Powell River. “A lot of the songs refer to being out on the water,” said Foster. “The beauty of nature and being out there to find a place of inner peace and harmony with nature is quite inspirational.” The flow of waves, rivers or the currents of lakes also inspire Foster’s lyrics. “You get the rhythm of the waves, which is like the music, it has a rhythm to it,” he said. Over his travels, Foster collected pieces of information, such as interesting place names that stuck out. Places like the Jail House Café, in Powell River, are some of the “funny little names of places” Foster collected. When it came to writing the songs he used this information, picked up his guitar and came up with a melody to compose his lyrics. “The lyrics are an important aspect of my music. A lot of them tell stories and talk about situations and descriptions,” said Foster. Telling a story is an essential part of Foster’s art. The latest work is a concept album, an album that expresses a theme. “The lagoon kind of symbolizes your comfort zone or happy place and then leaving, you need to get out of the comfort zone or you’re forced to leave,” said Foster. Foster said leaving that comfortable place can allow people to find adventure and

the results can be either good or bad. Foster is influenced by different musical styles. It’s reflected on the latest album. He collaborated with various musicians including Caleb McIntyre, who plays bagpipes; Marty Steele, who plays piano and vocalists Susan Boland and Marg Foster. Other musicians he worked with on the album include Pat Shonwise, the Glen Foster group bass guitarist; Glenn Olsen, on drums; Gerry Barnum, Steve Eakins and Dwight Gray. Foster said he loves collaborating with artists because they each bring a different perspective to the music he might not have thought of while creating it.

He’s been a musician for more than 30 years. It’s the connection with people he enjoys, both fans and other musicians. Musical influences include Bob Dylan and Neil Young for their use of lyrical stories on their albums. Vocal influences include The Beach Boys. And one of Nanaimo’s great guitar players, David Gogo, influences his guitar skills. Foster actually taught Gogo guitar in the past. The Glen Foster Group is hosting a CD release party for Leaving The Lagoon with special guest artist Mark Crissinger this Saturday (Jan. 23) 9 p.m. to midnight at The Vault Café. Admission is $5. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Dr. Telford the Victoria dermatologist who developed these creams met with me recently to explain why he felt there was a need for two formulas.

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.

The original formula has a Taro base and is the best formula for anyone who has very sensitive skin as it will be very well tolerated.

Both formulas work equally well but the “all natural” formula is addressing the needs of people who prefer “organic” food and “natural” face and body products. The moisturizer in the natural formula is Shea Butter which absorbs well is not greasy and naturally contains some Vitmain A and E. Shea Butter has an undetermined SPF factor which in Cloud’s Retinyl Palmitate cream will add even more SPF protection. Remember that if your main skin issues involve rosacea, psoriasis, acne, or just dry itchy, wrinkled skin, the vitamin B3 is the best one to start with. If sun damage, hyper-pigmentation, and wrinkles are your biggest concern, start with the Vitamin A cream. Looking forward to answering any further questions you may have regarding your skincare concerns. Mon-Fri Saturday Sunday

COMMUNITY

www.nanaimobulletin.com

Tuesday, January 19, 2016

Website links residents with social services A one-stop online rolodex for community health resources will soon play matchmaker for Nanamio residents. The Nanaimo Division of Family Practice, a non-profit organization helping to improve health care, has been getting province-wide attention for its website For Everything Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Community Health or Fetch, where people can find community health resources like support for medical conditions, cri-

sis intervention and employment assistance. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now working on Service Match, an upgrade that will allow people to type in their needs and wants and then have the program match them with available resources. Before the site went live in 2013, resource lists were in a number of different places and not one was complete, according to Leslie Keenan, executive director of the Nanaimo division. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free to use, and

initially designed like an electronic rolodex, although its features are unique, said Keenan. Each organization has its own card where it can upload and edit things like videos, brochures and referral forms. Last year the site attracted more than 19,000 visitors and

13 family divisions across B.C. have picked up the template. A provincial users group will share costs for the site. Divisions will also be able to use Service Match once itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complete. It allows people to do searches based on mini-profiles they create. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thing that

really excites me about it is that it is really innovative,â&#x20AC;? Keenan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s s o m e t h i n g t h a t â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to enhance the ability of consumers to be able to find the services that they need that are specific to them.â&#x20AC;? The beta version is anticipated this spring.

I feel the word “cleanse” is used very loosely by DR. KAREN L. FRASER many people. To me, a cleanse is the use of diet changes typically with supplements (plants &/or nutrients) to support some sort of physiologic or biochemical change in the body. A cleanse may be an elimination diet, it may involve treating the liver, eliminating yeast, negative bacteria or parasites from the digestive tract or simply a fasting program to take some stress off of their digestive system. I do not promote products and programs that have a strong laxative effect on the body. Personally, I will do some sort of a cleanse or program at least twice a year. My favorite cleanse is called Clear Change Cleanse by a company called Metagenics. I have had great success with using this cleanse to help lower blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose and liver enzymes. I like to do before and after blood work with people who may have issues in these areas to demonstrate the changes we can measure. It’s a simple 10 day program that’s a great kick start to your health and maybe some New Year’s resolutions! Naturopathic consults are covered by most extended health care plans.

How does hearing loss affect my life? Hearing Care Professionals know that hearing loss negatively affects psychosocial JEFF CAMPBELL, RHIP health. A British study of 1500 hearing impaired people 55 years and older showed evidence that hearing loss is likely to cause marital strain. Almost half said that relationships with their partner, family and friends suffered because they could not hear properly. A third had lost touch with friends and in some cases marriages had fallen apart as a direct result of a communication breakdown. Your first step should be to arrange a hearing test. Explore the solutions for hearing loss. Get the facts about hearing instruments and various pricing levels directly from the qualified reputable hearing health provider in your community. Ask about payment plans, instrument warranties and follow up care before believing that a remedy for your hearing loss is not available or affordable.

The Family Law Act came into effect in March 2013 and redefined how “common-law” spouses divide assets and debt if they separate. “Common-law” spouses, a couple who has lived together for at least two years, are now treated the same as married spouses. The basic presumption is that all assets and debts accumulated during the relationship are divided equally upon separation. If this doesn’t reflect you and your spouse’s wishes, consider entering into a cohabitation or prenuptial agreement. Contact us to discuss your options and book a one-hour consultation, at 250-591-1055.

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that causes progressive damage to the DR. PAUL GENEAU optic nerve, leading gradually worsening visual damage, and may lead to blindness. The most common form of glaucoma is often hereditary, so if it is in your family you need to be monitored carefully for signs of the disease. Your optometrist will evaluate your risk for developing glaucoma when your eyes are examined, based on various tests and observation, as well as your family and personal history. It is important to know that glaucoma often has no noticeable symptoms until permanent damage has occurred, so regular routine assessment is vital. Life is worth seeing. Take care of your eyes!

Chiropractors are often asked by their patients what is the best kind of bed from a spinal health perspective. My answer is always to first find out if the problem is in the spine, DR. KAREN MATTERN rather than the bed. Many people are unaware of spinal problems because their muscles are in a constant state of tension to compensate for abnormal joint movement. The result is that after sleeping, even on a good bed, they become aware of back pain. The best approach to such a problem is not to immediately change beds, but to correct the spinal problem. Not only is it less expensive, but it will save a lot of pain, disability and joint deterioration a few years down the line. If you have trouble getting comfortable, or wake up with back pain, don’t automatically assume you need a new bed. Consult with your chiropractor to make sure your spine is functioning well and discuss with him or her whether you need a change of sleep surface.

Experts’ Advice

We have our Wills, Powers of Attorney and Representation Agreements done and tucked away in a safe place. TIAH M. WORKMAN Is there anything else we should consider doing to protect ourselves and our family in the coming years?

My first suggestion is that you share with your family or trustee/attorney/ representative where the “safe place” is. While you have prepared all of the appropriate documents, I can tell you that it is not uncommon not to be able to locate those documents when they are needed. Also, it would be extremely helpful for you to put together all of your vital documents in one place, including a comprehensive summary of your assets and benefits. This should have everything pertaining to your accounts and financial information included, such as your SIN number/card, insurance policies, medical alerts, physician information, health records, and titles or bills of any valuable property such land, automobiles or jewelry and contact information for your family/friends. Again, make sure that the appropriate person(s) knows where you have tucked away this packet of important papers.

Mortgage Brokers How do the new rules for minimum down payment affect me when I want to purchase a home with 5% down?

■ Mortgage Consultants

www.duncanallenlaw.com

SHARON FAUCHON, KRISTA VERHIEL

On February 15, 2016, minimum downpayment rules are changing in Canada – for homes worth more than $500,000. The change is straightforward: for any portion of the house price over $500,000, buyers will need 10% downpayment for an insured mortgage. The minimum downpayment for the first $500,000 will remain unchanged at 5%. How much difference could it make? Here’s a simple example: Right now, you could get a mortgage for a $750,000 home with a downpayment of $37,500: a simple 5% of $750,000. Once the new rules kick in next month, you’ll need $50,000 or a 6.7% downpayment for the same house: 5% for the first $500,000 ($25,000), plus 10% for the $250,000 over the limit (another $25,000), The change was announced in mid-December by the new Liberal Finance Minister, Bill Morneau. While most Canadian homebuyers will be unaffected, the move is designed to protect Canadian homeowners by ensuring a stronger equity footing in their homes. If there’s a house purchase in your future, let’s talk. You will need a mortgage approval before February 15 to qualify under the 5% rule, and your purchase must also close before July 1, 2016.

Denturist ARE YOU TIRED OF EATING ONLY THE FOODS YOU CAN, NOT THE FOODS YOU WANT?

■ Denturists

250-591-1055

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!

■ Trustee in Bankruptcy

www.nanaimohypnotherapycenter.com

Being a bankruptcy trustee, I may have a somewhat GARETH SLOCOMBE, CA, CIRP biased opinion on this subject. Low introductory rates are essentially a sales gimmick to entice people with existing credit card debt to switch to a temporarily lower rate card. Presumably the credit card holder would transfer debts from a higher rate card to the new lower rate card and get some interest rate relief during the introductory period. Of course, if you carry no credit card debt, then the difference in interest rates is irrelevant and card preferences would be based on such factors as annual fees and air mile points etc. I take the view that any credit card debt is bad thing. Credit cards should only be used as a convenience and should be paid in full each month rather than used as a means of financing. This is not only because the rates that you will ultimately pay on credit card debt are simply too high. It is also because most items purchased with credit cards are consumables ( food, clothing, services etc. ). These items are either used up or depreciate in value immediately and therefore should not be financed at all. Here is a statistic to keep in mind: If all you do is make the minimum payment on your credit card balance, it will you take eight years to pay off $1,000 in debt.

There is nothing wrong with you; the disease is in the mattress industry. We hear this story many times a day and it’s always the same. There are 2 main problems. • You can’t flip today’s mattresses. In 2003 the industry started switching to no flips, what amazes me is they must know they don’t work. • The foams and combinations they use on the top are nowhere near the quality they would need to be to come even close to lasting anywhere near the term of the warranty.

Problems with our feet can be scary because the pain and difficulty walking may threaten our lifestyle and our livelihood. Often, problems DR. KATIA LANGTON can be corrected with simple, straight forward solutions. Heel pain often falls into two categories; Heel Spur Syndrome or Plantar Fasciitis. If your pain is worse when your heel hits the ground, worse after long periods of standing and worse at the end of the day; you may have a traumatized heel fat pad and have the beginnings of a heel spur. If your pain is worse in the morning, worse when you lift the heel and worse when you stretch the plantar fascia ligament; you may have Plantar Fasciitis. These are treated differently; so ask questions, get explanations and understand your diagnosis. At Island Pedorthic FootCare, our goal is to keep you on your feet, active and moving. Simple walking will help manage the five common causes of pain and suffering over the age of 50; Heart Disease, High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Obesity, Osteoarthritis. Lets fight these problems on the ground, standing and walking! Give us a call today to take a step towards painfree living.

March 16, 1951 - September 20, 2015 He leaves behind: His wife Marsha Son TC Son John (Eizel) Daughter Rebecca Smith of Bowser There will be a celebration of life in the new year.

Verna Sophia Brooks Verna Sophia Brooks (nee Pain) died unexpectedly on November 17, 2015 . She was 86. Verna was born on August 25, 1929 in Kamloops, B.C. to her parents, James and Winnifred Pain. Her father died when she was eight and her mother never remarried. Her family moved to Victoria, B.C. around 1940 and she supported her mother and younger brother. As a young woman, she worked as Secretary to the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles in Victoria and is one of the few people we know who was skilled at Pitman shorthand. She met, fell in love with and married Terry Brooks in 1951. Terry was working for the BC Forest Service and Verna followed him up the Coast as his career progressed. They first lived in Victoria, then Pender Harbour and Campbell River, as well as Vancouver where Terry attended the BC Forest Service Green Timbers Ranger school. They also lived in Port Hardy, Ocean Falls, Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte City) and finally Campbell River. Verna worked in most of these locations as an administrative assistant. In her retirement years, she resided in Sooke, Cowichan Bay and finally Ladysmith. As her children we seldom if ever ate store bought bread and still remember her ordering groceries from Woodwardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to be delivered by coastal freighter the Northland Prince while living on Haida Gwaii. Dr Spock and Adelle Davis were her bibles as we grew up and she believed in healthy eating before it became a fad. She lovingly subjected her children to Tigerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s milk a noxious concoction of orange juice, brewers yeast and other healthy ingredients as well as cod liver oil and vitamin C. We are also sure that we were the only children that went to school with pressed underwear; cleanliness and pressing were next to godliness, followed close behind by honesty and hard work. Her home, husband and children were precious to her. Terry was called to heaven in May of 2013 and Verna was heart broken. Verna loved life, but mostly loved caring for and being with the family, particularly her two children, Jim and Lynn. She was an exceptional cook, knitter and seamstress, and got great joy over sharing her baked goods. She even won 1st place at a Country Fair for her fudge. She is greatly missed. Verna is survived by her brother, Dan Pain (Shirley), her son James Brooks (Marie-Odile) of Ottawa, daughter Lynn deVries (Elzo) of Ladsymith, grandsons Nicolas (Lisa) of Ottawa, Thierry (Laura-Ann) of Thunder Bay, and Benoit of Coquitlam, four great grandchildren Morgan, Logan, Alison and Colin. She is preceded in death by her sister, Winnie. A memorial will take place on January 23rd, 2016 at 1:00 pm at St. Phillips Anglican Church, 1797 Cedar Rd, Nanaimo, BC, followed by a reception at the Church. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Vernaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life.

She was gentle, generous, and kind â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a wonderful mother, grandparent, and friend. Family Celebration of Life will be held in the early spring. Sands - Nanaimo

The Nanaimo Clippers got a few chances to celebrate on their road trip this past weekend. The city’s B.C. Hockey League club won two of its three games, including one in overtime, and their star player scored a milestone goal. The Clips started with a 7-2 loss Friday to the Wenatchee Wild, but beat the Langley Rivermen 4-3 in overtime on Saturday and then defeated the Coquitlam Express 5-2 on Sunday afternoon. The matinee game saw star forward Sheldon Rempal reach the 50-goal mark. The milestone goal came on a power play in the final minute of the second period. Clippers centreman Devin Brosseau threaded a crosscrease pass through two defenders to Rempal, who onetimed the puck into the top corner, short side. The achievement marked the first time that a Clippers player has notched 50 in one season since Martin Vozdecky and Bryce Cockburn both finished with 50 in the 1998-99 campaign. Both those snipers needed 57 games

to reach the mark, whereas Rempal’s 50th came in just his 45th game of the season. Other goal scorers in Sunday’s win were Brosseau, with a pair, Will Reilly and Gavin Gould with his first as a Clipper. Evan Johnson made 37 saves as his team outshot the Express 40-39. The day before, Yanni Kaldis was the hero with the overtime winner two minutes into the first OT frame. Nolan Aibel, Charley Borek and Matt Hoover also scored and Johnson made 23 saves for the victory. In the loss in the U.S., Rempal scored both his team’s goals and Johnson suffered the loss as the Clips were outshot 41-21. To read more about Rempal’s 50th goal, please visit www.nanaimo bulletin.com/sports later today (Jan. 19). GAME ON … The Clippers play three games this coming weekend (Jan. 22-24). They host the Surrey Eagles on Friday at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena, visit the Cowichan Valley Capitals on Saturday and then return home to play the Salmon Arm Silverbacks on Sunday at 2 p.m. DIGITAL SOUND

Buccaneers win in OT Inbrief

JR. B TEAM busts slump on home ice.

The Nanaimo Buccaneers got a sample of the kind of hardfought hockey they’ll need to play down the stretch. The team lost one and won one last week in Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League action at the Nanaimo Ice Centre, falling 3-0 to the Campbell River Storm on Thursday and then beating the Peninsula Panthers 3-2 in overtime Saturday. T h u r s d a y ’s t i l t with the North Division-leading Storm was intense, with fast-paced, physical hockey eventually unravelling into rough stuff and misconduct. The Storm were awarded 11 power plays, compared to five for the Bucs. “Both teams don’t like each other, the coaching staffs don’t like each other, the players don’t like each other and it’s going to [make] for a great series come playoff time…” said Dan Lemmon, Buccaneers coach. “We’ve
