CHRIS BUSH/THE NEWS BULLETIN
Carolynne Sacht and Cheryl Ward are frightened and bewildered by a fire that left an outdoor community bookcase as a burned-out shell and its books in a pile of soggy black ashes Wednesday. The sisters, who built the outdoor book exchange in October 2014 at the corner of Campbell and Pine streets from their father’s old gun cabinet as a gift to their neighbourhood and to promote literacy, said they were alerted to the blaze by someone driving by at about 9 p.m. “This is terrible,” Ward said. “We went to a lot of work. I mean, that was our father’s gun cabinet. It was 40 years old, leaded glass, unbelievable.” Several people a day would come by

Nanaimo RCMP are investigating after a body was discovered in the water at Stones Marina Saturday morning. Two men taking a walk discovered the body at 8:30 a.m. and called 911, said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman. “B.C. paramedics, City of Nanaimo fire crews and the Nanaimo RCMP responded,” O’Brien said. “The male was pronounced dead at the scene. B.C. Coroners Service was then notified and attended to the scene.” O’Brien said the Nanaimo RCMP Serious Crime Unit is conducting the investigation, with assistance from the coroner. “While the investigation is in the preliminary stages, his death does not appear suspicious. Investigators are attempting to determine how the deceased entered the water and establish a timeline of his movements prior to the discovery of his body,” said O’Brien. The deceased has been identified, but next of kin has not been notified, and until that occurs, the name will not be released, O’Brien said.

Daily News to cease publication Friday after 141 years The newspaper that’s been publishing almost as long as Nanaimo has been a city will close its doors Friday (Jan. 29). Black Press announced the closure of the Nanaimo Daily News Friday afternoon, citing the company’s inability to establish a sustainable business model as the main reason for the paper’s end. The Daily News has been operating in Nanaimo since 1875, originally as the Nanaimo Free Press. Randy Blair, president of Vancouver Island and Lower Mainland divisions, said the decision was not taken lightly. “We have tremendous respect and appreciation for all that the Nanaimo Daily News team have accomplished over the past 10 months and will support them in their efforts to find new employment,� Blair said in a statement. “They are a very talented and hard-working group who have contributed a lot over the years to helping build a better community through initiatives like the highly successful Give and Go fundraiser and their support of many community groups and volunteer organizations.� Blair said the Daily News made a number of improvements to content and format over the past 10 months and while it was well received by readers, it failed to translate into an increase in paid circulation or advertising revenue. “The cost of supporting the operation of the Daily News has been substantial and we don’t feel these losses will be reduced in the future,� Blair said. Approximately 10 employees in the newsroom are affected, along with staff in advertising, circulation and front office. Black Press, which also owns the Nanaimo News Bulletin, bought the Daily News in late 2014 as part of a multiple-title deal with Glacier Media. Blair said Black Press will continue to serve the Nanaimo community through the News Bulletin. “The community newspaper model continues to enjoy strong readership and advertising support, making it a highly effective local media option with a bright future in the print and digital space,� Blair said.

jacqui KaESE runs spotlight Academy in Nanaimo. By NiCholas PesCoD The News bulleTiN
Spotlight Academy owner Jacqui Kaese has no shortage of stories and experience in the entertainment industry. Originally from the United Kingdom, Kaese spent her young adult life as an actor and singer. She has appeared in a number of films including Quadrophenia, which was produced by The Who and was Sting’s first acting gig. Kaese, along with her band, Zucchi, once performed Lady is a Tramp for then-British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher at a Conservative Party conference in the mid1980s. “It almost got me fired and made national headlines,� Kaese said. After working as an awardwinning nightclub manager in the United Kingdom, she met and married former NHL player Trent Kaese and moved to Nanaimo in the mid1990s. It was around that time that Kaese started Spotlight Academy, an acting school whose alumni include the likes of Cameron Bright, Sarah Grey, Colin Ford, Stef Lang and Hannah Jane Zirke. “It is film without film school. It is acting without

acting school. It is for people who can’t afford to move to Vancouver and do three years in a school,� Kaese said. “It is for people who have to work
and raise their families but want to work an actor. It is for people who want to pursue their dreams who wouldn’t normally have the money to
subsidize themselves. It is for kids like me.� Throughout her career, Kaese has coached students and worked alongside some of Hollywood’s biggest stars such as Robert DeNiro, Tom Cruise, Jason Statham, Matt Damon, Scarlett Johansson and Nicholas Cage. In 2004, Kaese spent nearly four months living in New York and coaching Bright, at the personal request of director Jonathan Glazer during the filming of Birth, which starred Nicole Kidman and Lauren Bacall. The opportunity to watch Kidman work was one of the highlights of Kaese’s professional career and she recalled the time Kidman’s mother arrived on set. “She would become childlike,� Kaese said. “She would sit with her head on her mother’s shoulder in between takes. I think what was so intriguing about that was that she was so childlike that it was endearing. You can see why the camera loves her. You can see why the roles that she chooses are so fragile and vulnerable and mesmerizing because that is who she was. You couldn’t take your eyes off her. I feel like that is the reason why she is a superstar.� reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

Planning begins on second heritage Days By Chris Bush The News bulleTiN
Heritage Days’ major sponsors are good to go for a 2016 celebration. Morgan Carey, owner of Real Estate Webmasters and Rewsters Restaurant, confirmed in an e-mail to the News Bulletin Friday, a 2016 Heritage Days celebration will happen over the Victoria Day long weekend (May 21-23). Last year Carey put up $50,000 to ensure the Nanaimo’s first Heritage Days
would go ahead after the Empire Days Celebration Society, which organized Empire Days celebrations, disbanded and the event was renamed Heritage Days to include a broader spectrum of cultures. Carey said Real Estate Webmasters and the Nanaimo Heritage Days Society have taken over organizing the event entirely this year and are calling for sponsors, vendors and volunteers. Fireworks are scheduled for May 21 followed by a parade May 22, but there will be no
beer gardens this year. “One caveat that we have is that the city allow us to move the road closure further up, so that the REWFest portion can be at our campus,� Carey said. Medical marijuana producer Tilray became one of the major sponsors for last year’s event when it contributed $10,000 to pay for the fireworks display. “Nanaimo Heritage Days, should they go ahead, we would be happy to provide support for this great com-
munity event once again,� said Philippe Lucas, Tilray’s vice-president of patient advocacy. For more information, please visit the Nanaimo Heritage Days website, which will be continually updated, at www.nanaimohd.com.

Mall removes water clock
I
DOWNTOWN GROUP looks at possibilities. BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THE NEWS BULLETIN
It’s time for change at Woodgrove Centre. The mall removed its 35-year-old water clock on Jan. 17 to make way for renovations, despite a petition to save it. The 6.3-metre tall clock was taken down to make way for an open-concept space, as part of a $17-million renovation at the north Nanaimo shopping centre. A “big, open concept” to use for a variety of different purposes, including community events, is a key feature of the revamp, according to Woodgrove general manager Julia Dow, who says there will be new flooring, ceiling treatments and lighting fixtures with a view to hosting community events. There were calls for the clock to remain. Signatures have been building on a Change.org petition for the clock to

stay since October, with more than 1,600 names as of Monday. “The Woodgrove Centre absolutely takes great pride in developing and maintaining good relationships with the members of our community so the petition absolutely was carefully considered and it was taken very seriously,” said Dow. “After all the options were thoroughly considered, moving forward with the renovation plan as scheduled was the decision that was made.” The water clock has been on display since the mall opened in 1981, according to Chief Straight Tongue, a book on developer Deane Finlayson by Donna Dash. The clock is now in storage and Dow said the centre is open to discussions about its future outside of Woodgrove. Darren Kennedy, a Port Alberni resident at the mall on Sunday, believes there should be more than just an open space where the clock used to stand, like a sitting or garden area, but is more concerned about the clock itself. He hopes it’s used, adding it’s “pretty cool.” Nanaimo’s Deepak Dilawri called the clock a landmark in the mall, but also recognized it’s a private business and said it’s fine if the owners want to utilize the space in a different way, while Maria Carmen of French Creek said the clock gave the mall character and its removal is “sad.” Darren Moss, chairman of the Downtown Nanaimo Business Improvement Associations’ planning, design and development committee, recently found out the water clock is available but doesn’t know what’s involved to maintain or relocate it or if it’s suitable for the outdoors. The clock is something his committee will talk about at its next meeting. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Umesh Lal, Nanaimo F i re R e s c u e f i re prevention officer investigating the fire, couldn’t comment on the investigation, which has been turned over to the RCMP, but said a neighbour expended two fire extinguishers on the fire before firefighters arrived. The women are worried about other outdoor libraries in their neighbourhood. “Everybody is committed to this,” Ward said. “Lots of people are setting these things up, so what does this mean – we’ve got some jerk going around setting fires?” Police investigators had no suspects, said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman, but hope someone saw something around the time of the fire. Mitch Miller, who lives at the corner of Campbell and Machleary streets, said in a neighbourhood with little vandalism, “wanton destruction of this kind is disturbing” and he has started a door-to-door canvassing campaign in the neighbourhood to raise money for a Crime Stoppers reward to help catch the person responsible. “Hopefully we can catch this person before they do something even worse,” Miller said.

COalITION SayS bike infrastructure could use some work. By KaRl yU The News bulleTiN
Bicycle routes in the Harbour City could use some work, says the chairman of the Greater Nanaimo Cycling Coalition. The 2016 Nanaimo Bike Summit took place Saturday at Beban Park social centre, with videos, presentations on bike-related subjects, and Leo Boon, coalition chairman, said he is not happy with the state of cycling routes in Nanaimo. Boon said improvement is needed and the coalition is hoping to see some accelerated building over the next five to 10 years. While there are areas with “some great bike infrastructure,” it’s hampered because of crossings, like the E&N Trail, he said. “I can’t imagine asking a motorist to go up to a red traffic light, get out of [their] car, press the button and when the light goes green, to push that car across the intersection and continue on, but that’s what we’re asking cyclists to do on that particular
trail,” said Boon. He said the state of the Parkway Trail is “terrible” and with the coalition complaining for two years, the City of Nanaimo started work on a 1.2-kilometre section last fall. The coalition is hoping another section is worked on this year. But Boon also said he was happy with work done elsewhere. “We pushed very hard with getting Boundary Avenue protected bike lanes and the city agreed and studied hard, because they had never done this before,” said Boon. “They learned a lot, but they are very happy with what has happened and so are we, most of the cyclists are.” Ian Thorpe, city councillor and parks and recreation commission chairman, said the state of bike trails in Nanaimo is good compared to other places. “There’s obviously lots of room for improvement, but I think we recognize ... that it’s a really significant priority for our citizens and also a great opportunity for tourism and we find more and more people looking to our trail system as a reason for being in Nanaimo and coming to Nanaimo,” said Thorpe.

Falling loonie is costing us
Currency watchers are cringing this month as the Canadian dollar has dipped below 70 cents against the U.S. greenback, its lowest point in almost 12 years. So what does that mean to those of us who spend the majority of our time in this country? Will our groceries get even more expensive given that most of our fresh food comes from south of the border at this time of year, not to mention the raft of packaged goods that originate out of the U.S.? We won’t be surprised to see that happen. The unfortunate part is that very few of us will ever know to what level price increases are due to our currency value or other factors, such as drought in California or other variable costs such as labour. While it has felt good to be paying lower prices for gas these days, those cost savings are being swallowed up by incrementally higher prices for other regularly purchased goods. Readers will likely remember not so long ago when the Canadian dollar, buoyed by a surging resource industry and high demand for our exports, climbed well above the level of its U.S. counterpart. It reached an all-time high of about $1.10 back in 2007. But did our cost of living go down? Not much. We recall conversations about the cost of books, for example, which have both Canadian and U.S. prices printed on them. People argued that with a stronger loonie, such items should be priced closer to par. No such luck, as publishing houses in the U.S. chose to simply wait things out until the situation evened itself out. It was a similar situation with winter fruits and vegetables, the selling price for which didn’t come down to a level that reflected the change in the value of our currency. The dollar has rebounded from its previous depths. But with consumers struggling to keep pace with inflation these days, the timing of this latest dollar dive doesn’t help.

and protection of the air, water, soil and rich biological diversity that our health, prosperity and happiness depend on. The right to live in a healthy environment is recognized by more than 110 nations – but not Canada. That inspired the David Suzuki Foundation and Ecojustice to launch the Blue Dot movement a little over a year ago. It’s exceeded our expectations, with more than 100 municipalities passing environmental rights declarations and a number of provinces considering or committing to the idea. The next step is to take it to the federal level, by calling for an environmental bill of rights and, ultimately, an amendment to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The environmental rights campaign is also about human rights and social justice. Many environmental problems are tied to societal inequities as people at the lower end of the socioeconomic scale are disproportionately affected by environmental hazards and toxic pollution. Canada has come a long way, but we can’t be complacent. We must work to maintain and strengthen the rights of all Canadians, to build an even better Canada. That means giving all Canadians the right to a healthy environment.

Former PM Harper damaged Canada To the Editor,
Re: Harper left low taxes, small government, Jan. 7. I steer away from reading any article written by Tom Fletcher, Black Press columnist. A few years back I concluded that he mostly fudges out his opinions by cherrypicking resources. Still I could not avoid but to read the headline of this column. Most likely Fletcher again praises his favourite politicians, policies, and transnational companies. In this case I expect that Fletcher laments that Harper is someone Canada should miss. Though I will never find whether this author still refuses to recognize what damage Harper has done to the country, I like to point that Harper’s record includes atrocious political, cultural and social downgrade of Canada worth. He betrayed, sold, polluted, dehumanized, and criminalized my Canada. He condescended to appalling trade deals, shut down safeguards and inspections, fired scientists, and discredited the Senate with shady appointments and illegal payouts. Furthermore he sent our young people to war only to let them down when they returned with injuries. As far as tax cuts and other benefits to the public go, they were all just smoke and mirrors in order to get re-elected. And his Bill C-51, a version of the American Patriot Act, was to allow a small, dictatorial government of his dreams to detain anyone opposed to his vision of Canada. I will stop here and only continue to ignore his columns. It would certainly improve the Bulletin to replace Fletcher’s columns with a few good comic strips.

Stephen Harper addresses supporters at an election rally in Abbotsford last fall.
To the Editor,
Re: Harper left low taxes, small government, Jan. 7. Fletcher’s column was surprising, to hear his forlorning of Stephen Harper. Not very unbiased reporting, I think. Unless I am mistaken, however, he has confirmed that Harper was a fear-mongering politician from the beginning, and his political strategy was to convince party followers that the media was evil and not to be trusted. By discrediting them and other political parties, he could shut them out and begin a decade of undemocratic behaviour. The only “preference for the individual” Harper had was for himself. After 10 years, even the media knew Harper was out of control and had to go. It was quite amazing to see the jubilation from voters when he got turfed. The love-fest for Justin Trudeau was desperately needed by Canadians. I didn’t vote for him, but I did smile. Our current desperate economic situation is direct result of the last government ignoring the signs and warnings from protesters and the much-needed media.

Cultural festivities Event celebrates both Robbie Burns Day and Chinese New Year BY RACHEL STERN
T
THE NEWS BULLETIN
he rich cultural history of Scotland and China meld together for the ninth annual Robbie Burns Day and Chinese New Year celebration. The event begins with a performance by Brigadoon Dance Academy serenaded by piper Bill Poppy. The Lion dance follows and then the pipe and drum band. “They almost literally blow the roof off,” said Lloyd MacIlquham, event organizer, about the pipers. The annual address to the haggis comes next, which is done in Robbie Burns’ dialect, Mandarin, Cantonese and French. The buffet is followed by several more entertainment acts. Xiangshu Zeng, a dancer in the troupe Flowers of Nanaimo, said all the dancers in her group volunteer and make their own costumes. The dancers perform traditional Chinese folk
dances and choose different themes each year, she said. “My team is a good team,” she said, adding it’s “like a family.” The group also performs in various senior homes after the event to share Chinese New Year celebrations. “We want to bring the love to all those seniors,” she said. About four years ago the celebration introduced the lion sword dance. It was a combination inspired by the Brigadoon Dance Academy and lion dance. MacIlquham said everyone loved it, so the dance has become an annual event at the celebration. “We try to do something new every year just to keep people guessing and coming back,” said MacIlquham. Each year the organizers choose a different cause or organization to support. Past causes include the Nanaimo Art Gallery, Red Cross relief for Haiti, CHLY and disaster relief for the Philippines. MacIlquham said money
raised during the event covers the cost of the venue rental, performer costs and the rest is donated. Many of the performers also volunteer behind the scenes to ensure the event happens, he added. “We couldn’t do it without the volunteers,” said MacIlquham. “They are topnotch performers and professionals.” This year the organizers are donating the money to help Nanaimo youths travel to the historical Canadian battle site at Vimy Ridge. The ninth annual Robbie Burns and Chinese New Year Celebration, which celebrates the year of the monkey, is Saturday (Jan. 30), 4-7 p.m. at the Bowen Park auditorium. Tickets are $25, $12.50 for children aged six to 11 and children under six are free. Tickets must be purchased in advance, and won’t be sold at the door, and are available by calling 250-729-9948 or e-mailing nclac@hotmail.com. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

The Nanaimo Tidesmen Chorus, above, and The Big Mess are performing during a benefit concert Feb. 7 at 2 p.m. at the Nanaimo Ecumenical Centre to support two Afghan refugees attending Vancouver Island University.
By RACHEL STERN The News BulleTiN
Tidesmen chorus members and The Big Mess are performing in support of Afghanistan refugees. The musicians have partnered with The Wiltshire Education Society to support two Afghan women attend Vancouver Island University. Wiltshire society members learned about the family, originally from Afghanistan, but who moved and became refugees in Pakistan. The family’s teenage girls were in danger because their father was a middle-level bureaucrat and feared repatriation back to Afghanistan. Society members had met the two girls’ older sister, who had been able to immigrate to the United States and then had transferred to Vancouver Island University to study.
She recently graduated and applied for and was granted her Canadian citizenship. The society wanted to bring the whole family to Canada, but it proved too difficult. “It was virtually impossible to bring the family in, but we did get permission to bring the sisters,” said Roy Sage, a member and past-president of the Nanaimo Tidesmen Chorus. “We were able to get student visas for the girls. They are doing really well at university.” The two sisters arrived from Pakistan on Christmas Day in 2013. “It was the first time they saw the sea. It was an incredible adventure for them,” said Sage. The sisters are studying business administration at VIU and will graduate at the end of this year. The society hopes to raise money through the concert and various other fundraising events to pay for the sisters’ tuition, other education costs and living expenses. “They are lovely and so smart,” said Sage. “They are really, really absolutely
delightful young women.” The Tidesmen formed in 1973 and has nearly 70 members. Over the years, the Tidesmen chorus has supported various community charities through fundraising efforts. “It will be a great show. The Tidesmen look forward to it,” said Sage. The Big Mess is the father son duo consisting of Marty and Kyle Shepard. Marty said the band likes partnering with the Tidesmen, especially for something they “believe in.” “We like to use our music to do good things for people and make people happy,” said Kyle. The concert is Feb. 7 at 2 p.m. at the Nanaimo Ecumenical Centre, located at 6234 Spartan Rd. Tickets are $20 for adults and free for children under 16 and are available at Arbutus Music and The Quilted Duck, by calling 250-740-0058 or e-mailing tidesmen-benefit@ wesociety.org.

Writer to receive honorary doctorate for work From /8
Over his career as a poet he’s been recognized with numerous awards for his work, for poetry, fiction and non-fiction, including the Governor General’s Award for Poetry and the Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Literary Excellence. His sage advice to young writers is to read extensively. Getting exposure to many voices is important whether it’s a poet from the 1850s, 1920s or today. He also said sometimes people think the
PATRICK LANE
greatest stories are those from different cities, but that’s not the case. “Our stories matter … we have wonderful stories here,” he said. Lane will receive an honorary doctor-
ate of letters from Vancouver Island University during the convocation ceremonies, held at the Port Theatre, on Thursday (Jan. 28) at 2:30 p.m. V I U ’s h o n o r a r y doctorate isn’t the only one Lane has received. The University of British Columbia conferred the honour on him in June 1993 and that November, the University of Victoria honoured him with the title as well. In 2015, McGill University also conferred the honour on Lane.
Lane said for him getting recognition from an institution on “my Island” means more to him than recognition from others far away. “To be honoured by my West Coast people is special. It’s humbling,” he said. Lane currently lives in Saanich with his wife Lorna Crozier, who is also an awardwinning writer and poet.

LOST AND FOUND
NORMAN McMILLAN The world lost a remarkable man on October 5, 2015. Norman McMillan, a wonderful friend, mentor and connector of people extraordinaire, passed away in the palliative care at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital, at age 93. Born June 2, 1922 in Gateshead-On-Tyne, Great Britain, Norman was the beloved only child of Margaret and Arthur McMillan. Very early in his youth, the family moved to Scotland and there he developed a deep love of music and became fascinated with engineering. Norman served in the British Merchant Navy as a ship’s engineer in North Africa and then notably on the HMS Queen Elizabeth troop transport ship during WWII, making 46 trips across the Atlantic. Post war but still in wartime service to his country, he spent a memorable seven months on whaling expedition to the Antarctic. Soon after, for a “few laughs� with some of his seafaring pals, Norman made a trip to Canada fully expecting to return to Scotland to pursue his engineering degree. But fate interceded after he joined the ‘7000 Club’ for British and Scottish immigrants to Canada and, one night at a dance, he met Christine, the love of his life. Norman and Chris first made their first home in Toronto. Norman, a self-described “jack of all trades� was never out of work. He was very proud to work on the Avro Arrow project for three years. They made spontaneous road trips in Norman’s beloved Austin Healey, plus travelled extensively in Scotland, England, Canada and the US, visiting family and friends. Next stop was Santa Monica California where Norman continued using his engineering genius at a large computer company called Data Products, building some of the first printers in the computer industry. Finally, in 1979, Norman and Chris retired to Nanaimo, eventually occupying their last home together at the Village on the Green townhouse complex. Norman loved taking long evening walks on his “golf course estate� and he had a passion for tinkering in his garage fixing things, surfing the Internet, and making music with friends on his organ, keyboard, drums and guitar. After Chris passed away in April 1999, Norman relied on music and his many friendships to fill the void with joy and comfort. Well into his 80s and to the end, Norman practiced the guitar almost daily, and loved to visit Nanaimo music stores to browse the latest guitars and ‘talk shop’ with staff. After his 91st birthday, Norman bought himself a snare drum, and spent many hours ‘rat-a-tat-tatting’ and practicing skills he had learned in pipe band as a nine-year-old boy. A special friendship developed with international jazz guitarist Martin Taylor, who refers to him as ‘Uncle Norman’ and many trips were made to see Martin play across the globe. Norman was funny, fiercely independent, frugal, curious, intelligent, and a master story teller and connector of people. He will be greatly missed and always remembered with love, laughter and joy by his cousin Audrey Piper of Coquitlam, nieces and nephews in Scotland and Alberta; adopted ‘family’ including Pat and Steve Cowie, Mona Arnone and Marilyn Assaf, all of Nanaimo, and Martin & Liz Taylor of Scotland, and James & Alison Taylor of London, god-son Allan MacDonald of Connecticut, lifelong friend Lewis MacDonald of Tuscon, Arizona, plus many other friends and neighbours. A celebration of Norman’s life will be held at the Village on the Green Clubhouse, on Saturday, January 30, 2016, at 1 pm. (2740 Keighley Road, Nanaimo). Flowers gratefully declined. For those so desiring, donations can be made in kind to any of his favorite charities: Nanaimo Hospice, the Palliative Care Ward (NRGH), NRGH Women’s Auxiliary or the Salvation Army. His friends would like to extend special thanks to Dr. Kingsley and his staff, Dr. Booth, the outstanding medical team at NRGH, especially in the palliative care ward and Emergency department, and to Nanaimo Hospice volunteers. As Norman often said, you are all angels. Friends who wish to attend Norman’s celebration of life are kindly asked to RSVP to wrtstuff@ shaw.ca before January 28.

Erwin Laudien
August 31, 1922 - January 21, 2016 Erwin enjoyed a long and healthy life. At age 90, when the Nanaimo German Club held a surprise Birthday Luncheon for him, everyone in attendance were convinced he'd live to be 100! He passed away peacefully at Nanaimo Seniors Village with his precious wife, Ilse by his bedside. Erwin grew up in Kulingen, Prussia, and immigrated to Calgary in 1953. He was an entrepreneur and established a successful construction business while raising his family. After twenty full and happy years spent in Calgary, Ilse and Erwin moved West in 1973 to milder winters on Vancouver Island. Erwin made many friends and enjoyed socializing with his neighbourhood acquaintances, the Nanaimo German Club members, his travel friends, and his new Highgate friendships made in his final years. Erwin took great pride in his efforts as a founding member of the German Club and sang his heart out performing in the German Choir. His motor home was in better shape when he finally sold it, than when he had bought it originally. This was after he had driven it several times down to Yuma to meet up with travellers from all over North America. Taking cruises in his later years, once he gave up driving the motorhome, provided both he and Ilse with many pleasurable memories. He was always interested in the world around him, and the sights to be experienced and explored. He happily toiled in his yard on Ellen Place and was an avid walker. Erwin felt blessed that his wife and life partner of 68 years, was the love of his life. If one were to sum up Erwin, he would be remembered for his devotion to his wife, his principled manner, and his ability to never complain about anything! He loved a hearty laugh and was simply, "a truly good man." Erwin is survived by his wife, Ilse, his son, Ryan (Mary), his daughter, Irma (Jim), and grandsons, Kris and Phil (Jessica). Erwin/Dad/Opa impacted his family and one always felt his love. We will miss him! His Doctor (Steven Beerman) must be mentioned. This professional was a true friend to Erwin and the family. He took conscientious care of Erwin's health and demonstrated incredible compassion for his patient and the entire family. As well, the Highgate and Nanaimo Seniors Village staff lent much needed support and caring, as Erwin required increased care and assistance. The family wishes to thank them for their many kindnesses. Erwin remains frugal to the very end. So in lieu of expensive flowers, donations can be made to the Nanaimo Hospital Foundation. A final gathering to say good-bye to our Erwin will be held Thursday, January 28th at First Memorial Funeral Services at 2:00 pm. The funeral chapel is located at 1720 Bowen Road in Nanaimo.

Cancer

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, do not allow distractions to keep you from completing tasks that need to get done. Use your ability to focus to plow through your to-do list and finish in record time. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, this week you may be tempted to take risks you never would have considered before. Just don’t let excitement get in the way of common sense. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Something totally unexpected will grab your attention in the next few days, Gemini. Trust your intuition to take things slowly and put out all feelers before you forge ahead. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, although you have a plan to reach all of your goals, do not put success ahead of others’ feelings. Be considerate of others even if their efforts are not up to par. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, proceed with caution in a new friendship or partnership. Test the waters before you devote yourself fully. This approach will ensure you made the right decision. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, if the potential to be criticized scares you, you may not be inclined to express yourself honestly. Worry less about what others think of you and be confident in yourself.
Libra
Scorpio
Sagittarius
Capricorn
Aquarius
Pisces
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, if you’re feeling on edge lately, it may be because you haven’t had a chance to relieve stress. Exercise can be a surefire fix to what ails you, so get up and go. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, an opportunity presents itself in the weeks ahead, and this will be too good to pass up. Embrace the changes that this opportunity offers. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, your social life is bustling, but sometimes it can be difficult to keep up with all of the things filling your calendar. You may want to take a few days off. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Career obstacles may pop up from time to time, but you have the commitment to see things through for the long haul. Keep up that perseverance this week. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 You can’t always play the peacemaker, Aquarius. Sometimes you just have to let others fight their own battles and then offer support to those who need it. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, there is more going on than meets the eye. You have to pay attention to the subtle undercurrents to figure out fact from fiction.

Charlie, Dixie, Capo & Simon
Charlie is a sweet lovable boy, he has a lot of energy and we are still getting to know his personality as he is new to our shelter. So far he has been friendly and affectionate and loves to talk. Charlie is super willing to learn and has lots of potential, he will require someone who has the time and patience to continue his basic obedience and manners. Dixie is a sweet old girl came to us in rough shape. She was missing fur and her skin looked terrible, we found she is allergic to grains in her diet so she will have to be on a grain free diet. Dixie has been living with a staff member but her other dogs are not very nice to her so she is looking for a new home for her where she can be the only dog, or with another elderly dog or cats, she doesn’t mind cats. She is non - destructive so she can be left alone in the house while your out but she can’t hold it for more than 4 hours so she should be with someone that is retired or part retired. Dixie can’t be left outside to long because she is going deaf and wants to bark at anything outside but she is quiet inside and only wants a nice comfy bed to curl up in and some loving. If you would like a senior girl as a lovely companion, she could be the one! If you are interested in Dixie please call the shelter or email them for a meeting as she will be living at the staff members home till she has found a home.

Clippers creating space atop division I JUNIOR A team now 10 points up on Island. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN
Nanaimo Clippers defenceman Kale Bennett, top left, trips over goaltender Evan Johnson while defending against Salmon Arm Silverbacks opponents Joshua Laframboise and Ross Heidt during Sunday’s game at Frank Crane Arena.
Vandekamp said. “We had them down, we had lots of opportunities on the power play.” Corey Renwick and Matt Hoover scored first-period goals and Evan Johnson made 29 saves. The night before, Hoover scored a pair of goals and Charley Borek, Spencer Hewson and Nolan Aibel were the other scorers for Nanaimo. Johnson made 37 saves for the win. On Friday, the Clippers had an easy time,

Running a great race starts with winter workouts. Nanaimo’s Bastion Running Club is already out on the track and the trails as part of its yearround racing. “We always go out, no matter what kind of weather – rain or shine,” said Denise Bonin, the club’s membership secretary. The Bastion runners are looking for more members to join them in their activities. The club trains at Rotary Bowl stadium on Wednesday mornings and at Westwood Lake Park on Saturday mornings. The club started 2016 with its annual New Year’s Day Run and Dip at Westwood, and next on the calendar is the Cedar 12K on Feb. 7. The Bastion Mile will return this spring as part of Nanaimo’s Heritage Days. Bonin said the club is geared toward runners who want to get faster in their road and trail races. “We like to train to get better at doing that kind of thing…” she said. “Everybody cheers each other on, which is really fun, and you can always find someone to train with, no matter what day of the week.” For more information about the Bastion Running Club, please visit www.bastionrunning.ca.

Nanaimo Clippers forward Sheldon Rempal goes for a shot on goal Sunday against the Salmon Arm Silverbacks.
!
The Nanaimo Clippers collected a handful of points as they zero in on a division title. The Clips won two games and tied another this past weekend in B.C. Hockey League action. Nanaimo defeated the Surrey Eagles 5-1 on Friday at Frank Crane Arena, beat the Cowichan Valley Capitals 5-2 the next night in Duncan, then earned a 2-2 draw with the Salmon Arm Silverbacks on Sunday back at Frank Crane. “I think we’ve been playing pretty good,” said Mike Vandekamp, Clippers coach, after Sunday’s game. “I don’t think this was our best game today overall, but I like the way we played on the weekend. I especially liked the way we played [Saturday] night, and Friday, I thought we played solid hockey.” Both teams Sunday were playing their third game in three days and Vandekamp said his team was a little tired. Still, Nanaimo players were able to create scoring opportunities but were stymied by Salmon Arm’s goalie Angus Redmond who made 46 saves. “I thought we lacked a little bit of killer instinct early in that game,”

VIU WINS both games at home.
PacWest basketball is intensifying. The VIU Mariners men’s and women’s b-ball teams were tested with hardfought games this past weekend at the Vancouver Island University gym. The VIU men managed to stay undefeated, coming out on top against the Capilano Blues on Friday and the Douglas Royals on Saturday, while VIU’s women beat the Blues but lost to the Royals. Friday night’s men’s game saw the Mariners trail by as many as 15 points midway through the game before coming back to win 91-87. Bryson Cox scored 20 points, Jason Fortin had 18 points and 10 rebounds
and Josh Ross also had a double-double with 16 points and 12 boards. The next day’s contest was also competitive before the M’s pulled away at the end and won 86-65. Cox scored 28, John Thompson scored 25 and Ross had 18 points and 16 rebounds. In women’s action, the M’s won 71-62 against Cap as Sienna Pollard scored 22 and Sara Simovic added 15. The next day’s contest ended 72-61 in favour of the visitors. Lanae Adams led VIU with 19 points and Pollard scored 14. GAME ON … VIU’s basketball teams each play just once this coming weekend, on the road Saturday (Jan. 30) against the Camosun Chargers. The next home games for VIU b-ball will be Feb. 5-6.
The Nanaimo Buccaneers did what no other junior B hockey team has done in a long time – they beat the Victoria Cougars. The Bucs ended the Cougs’ 23-game win streat Sunday with a 1-0 overtime win in Victoria. Trent Bell scored the game win-
