Two separate fires displace homeowners, businesses BY CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN
Firefighters tackled two blazes on the weekend that damaged a downtown office building and a home in the city’s south end. Emergency crews responded shortly after 9 p.m. Saturday to a commercial building at 321 Wallace St. for a fire on the top floor of the three-storey building. The fire was knocked down quickly and contained to one business
suite, but had extended into the attic space above, where Capt. Ennis Mond, Nanaimo Fire Rescue chief fire prevention officer, said much of the building’s wiring and air conditioning ducting is located. “There’s a three-and-ahalf-foot void space where all the A/C ducting runs, where all the wiring runs, and there’s quite a bit of damage up there,” Mond said. All occupants had evacuated from a business operating on the first floor and
no one was injured. The investigation into the cause of the fire was underway Monday. The entire building will remain closed until the investigation is finished and it can be determined which businesses can reopen. The next day, a fire in a home on 32 Gillespie St. gutted its main floor. Fire crews responded to that fire shortly before 7 p.m. Sunday, arriving to find heavy flames erupting from the front of the house. “Fire ran through, pretty
well, the main floor of the house,” Mond said. Both of the home’s occupants had evacuated when firefighters arrived, but their dog died in the fire and one occupant had to be treated by ambulance crews for smoke inhalation. The residents, who Mond said had homeowners’ insurance, will be displaced until the house is repaired. Investigations into both fires are expected to be completed early this week. photos@nanaimobulletin.com
A new $12-million energy building is needed to fuel future development at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital, including construction of a new intensive care unit, according to Island Health. With its power use at the maximum, the hospital can’t expand its footprint until it turns the switch on a new energy centre. The health authority has applied to the City of Nanaimo for a development permit for a new energy centre that will have three generators and an electrical distribution centre. The project is planned to get underway this summer and will take approximately two years to complete and commission, said Island Health spokeswoman Val Wilson, in an e-mail. While the hospital still has electrical energy capacity for approved renovations, like the installation of two CT scanners, Wilson said the new energy centre will provide additional power to the building and allow for future development of the hospital campus. Island Health recently approved planning for a new 12-bed intensive care unit for the hospital’s sickest patients, which is slated to go in a parking lot between the emergency and the renal and obstetrics wings. It’s been on the radar since it was highlighted in an Island-wide review of intensive care services a couple of years ago, but the new build is an ‘add on’ that can’t go ahead without the electrical infrastructure, according to Dr. Drew Digney, executive medical director for the central Island.

Police arrest suspect in fire at funeral home
New power centre will improve footprint
I
From /1
“[The energy building is] going to get us to the point where we can actually start doing the other work that needs to get done around here,” said Digney. “Before we were kind of stuck within the footprint and what capacity we had, so things like building a new building, that wasn’t going to happen.” That Island Health has given approval internally to start planning for a new ICU is considered a big deal by Digney, who said Nanaimo’s current ICU has been in the same location since the 1960s and standards and what’s done in the area has changed. The space in rooms is now too small. The doors have to remain open because machines don’t fit in the room and nurses have to be in the hallway, Digney said. While he said patient outcomes are still excellent, the potential for problems is lower if people are in a proper space. There would also be privacy for patients and families. The hospital has put out a request for proposals for architects of a new ICU. Digney said he’s looking forward to getting the energy centre done so Island Health can start the ICU. “There’s nothing sexy in just having more power – it’s just something that needs to get done,” Digney said.
blazE liNkEd to fires at Ladysmith Husky station and grader.
A 54-year-old man has been arrested in connection with suspicious fires at the Cedar Memorial Gardens in Cedar, and fires at the Ivy Green Husky gas station and a grader in Ladysmith. Police responded shortly after 10 p.m. Sunday to a break-in at Cedar Memorial Garden, at 2347 Cedar Rd., but upon arrival, found the building engulfed in flames with North Cedar Volunteer Fire Department firefighters battling the blaze. Percy Tipping, North Cedar fire chief, said the fire was being fuelled by natural gas and that the fire is suspicious and under police investigation. “We had to wait for Fortis B.C. to isolate the gas service. It was just too intense for us to get to it,” Tipping said. “Basically we just controlled the fire from a dis-

tance. Once the gas was isolated then we were able to extinguish the fire.” Ron Gueulette, Cranberry Volunteer Fire Department chief, said it appeared a natural gas line to the building had been vandalized and ignited. No one was injured by the blaze. Ladysmith RCMP reported two more suspicious fires, one at 11:20 p.m. at the Ivy Green Husky gas station on the Island Highway just north of Ladysmith and a fire in a grader on a property off of Breton Page Road. Minimal damage was reported from the gas station fire, but the grader suffered about $28,000 in damage. North Oyster Volunteer Fire Department provided mutual aid to the Cedar Memorial Gardens and grader fires. Investigators identified a suspect vehicle, which was located a short time later in Cedar. The lone male occupant was arrested without incident and was scheduled to appear in court Monday.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong is set to perform surgery on Medical Services Plan fees in the Feb. 16 budget, but he insists B.C. will continue to be the only province to charge people directly for medical care. “There are some people who advocate eliminating MSP entirely as a separate fee, and hiding it or camouflaging that fee within the general taxation structure,” de Jong said. “I disagree with that. I think you create the illusion that people aren’t paying a fee.” Premier Christy Clark indicated relief for single-parent families with income over $30,000 a year, cutting the family rate to $75 per month to effectively remove MSP fees for the children. De Jong said it’s possible to change the current rate structure, which exempts single people and families making less than $22,000 and rises in steps to $150 a month for a family of three or more making more than $30,000.

REGioNAl diSTRiCT amends growth strategy wording. By Karl yu The News BulleTiN
The Regional District of Nanaimo plans to revise its Regional Growth Strategy to clarify when minor changes need to be made. The strategic plan directs growth and land use across the district. Communities use it when developing official community plans, but there is ambiguity when it comes to minor amendments brought on through a full official community plan review process, said a press release. The issue came to the regional district’s attention when the Town of Qualicum Beach made a request to move a growth containment
boundary to line it up with the municipal boundary, according to a July 2015 regional district report. Concern was expressed because that type of amendment wasn’t considered minor. Paul Thompson, regional district manager of long range planning, said the growth strategy can be amended in two ways – a regular process and a minor amendment process, which is streamlined. While there is criteria for what qualifies as minor, there is conflict, he said. “If you look at what does qualify and then what doesn’t qualify at the same time, in some cases, it might appear that nothing would actually qualify,” said Thompson. According to the regional district proposal, criteria for minor changes would include those that result from full electoral area or municipal official community plan

review processes. “If one of those areas was to go through a new OCP review process and the result was they wanted to support growth in a location that’s not currently supported in the RGS, then they should be able to go to the RDN and say, ‘We want to amend the RGS to support our OCP,’ and it qualifies as the minor amendment process, because it’s a full OCP review,” said Thompson. Changes to text and maps due to errors or more accurate information becoming available would also qualify as minor, as would changes to tables, figures, grammar or numbering that don’t alter the intent of the growth strategy. Public feedback is sought at the district board chambers (6300 Hammond Bay Road) on Feb. 23, between 5 and 6:30 p.m. Please visit www.rdn. bc.ca/rgsminoramendments. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Real Estate Webmasters is building more office elbow room in downtown Nanaimo. The company has taken out a development permit to renovate a commercial office building at 6, 8 and 10 Church Street. The revamped structure will add about 1,100 square metres of space for what will become Real Estate Webmasters’ second downtown location. The company has five offices in Nanaimo with its main office at 223 Commercial Street. “We’ve harmonized the address, so it will be a single address – 10 Church Street, I believe – and we’re basically doing the same size of build as 223 Commercial,” said Morgan Carey, Real Estate Webmasters president and CEO. Architectural features will include a glass column centred in the the front of the building enclosing a glass elevator and staircases. Passersby will see staff through the glass column going up and down the stairs and elevator. One side of the interior will be a break room for staff and, to prevent a “dead zone” on the block, the other side will become a retail space. “We haven’t decided yet whether it’s going to be our own retail or whether it’s going to be somebody else,” Carey said. “Maybe we’ll have an REW barber shop or something like that. Who knows?” Demolition and remedial work and architectural design has been completed. “As soon as the city says, yeah, bring in some cranes, then we can get started,” he said. Estimated cost of the build will be about $4 million and construction should be completed by mid 2017. “And then we’re just going to fill it up with people like we did last time,” Carey said.

Nanaimo police seek information from public on second sexual assault Nanaimo RCMP is investigating a second sexual assault of a teenage girl along the railway tracks near Kennedy and Farquar streets. According to police, the victim said she was walking along the tracks behind the Islamic Cultural Centre at about 4:40 p.m. Friday when a man approached her from behind, pulled her pants down and ran off south along the tracks
toward Hecate Street. The victim was not physically injured and is being supported by her family. Nanaimo RCMP Victim Services have been contacted and will also be offering support to the girl.

A pair of off-duty mountain-biking Nanaimo Mounties were out for a ride near Parksville last week when one of the officers spotted a man with a $4,600 mountain bike that looked like one that had been reported stolen several days earlier in Nanaimo. The officer spotted a detail peculiar to the bike confirming his suspicion, so the officers made an arrest before the suspect could ride off. The suspect, a 23-year-old Parksville man, is now facing a recommended charge for possession of stolen property. The bike was returned to its owner.

MaEvE o’byrNE spent 20 years fundraising. By TaMara CunninghaM The News bulleTiN
Maeve O’Byrne, whose leadership helped grow Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation into a multimillion-dollar fundraiser for health care, will step aside for a new visionary this June. O’Byrne resigns June 30 after more than two decades at the helm of the hospital foundation, a non-profit that raises millions of dollars for health-care equipment and capital projects in central Vancouver Island. A good leader knows when it’s time to step aside, said O’Byrne, who has taken the organization as far as she knows she can. “It’s time for someone else to take the organiza-

tion and grow it further,” she said. The foundation launched its first capital campaign in 1991 to raise $2 million for a new emergency room when O’Byrne was hired as its director. Previously it was more of a conduit for donations than an active fundraiser and lacked dedicated employees, according to O’Byrne, who said it raised between $50,000 and $100,000 annually prior to the campaign. Now it pulls in average of $4 million a year, with a philanthropic arm and two social enterprise businesses and has a total 52 part-time and full-time employees. “I don’t think we ever dreamed it’d become as large and complex as it has, but I don’t think we dreamed that there would be such a need for fundraising either,” she said. The organization has raised money for
the renal and maternity units, new operating rooms and medical equipment. Its work fills the gap between what government can give and what the community needs and wants to see, said O’Byrne, who feels the groundwork is now laid for further growth and the biggest task ahead is to grow the foundation and provide a new vision along with the board. Greg Scott, chairman of the foundation board, said the non-profit is successful, strong and wellrespected and has had a great impact on health care in the central Island. While a team of individuals brought the foundation to this point, he said it’s O’Byrne who was their dynamic leader. “It’s always sad to see a great leader go,” he said. The foundation board is searching for a new president with the help of recruiting firm Davies Park.
Students’ union questions proposed fee increase at Nanaimo university By Karl yu The News bulleTiN
Vancouver Island University students’ union is opposed to a new proposed student fee. The university board is looking to pass a student services fee, which would amount to $6.27 per credit, or approximately $188 per year for a full-time student. Patrick Barbosa, student union spokesman, said he believes the fee breaches
the Ministry of Advanced Education’s policy to limit tuition and fee increases to two per cent per year. “If this fee is approved, then the total increase to students at Vancouver Island University will be 6.5 per cent, which is substantially more than the allowed limit,” he said. In an e-mail, B.C. Minister of Advanced Education Andrew Wilkinson said the university’s board is responsible for approv-
ing fees and ensuring the annual two-per cent tuition cap is adhered to, but institutions can introduce new mandatory fees for new services if they are beneficial to students. Tori Klassen, university spokeswoman, said VIU is following guidelines and would never knowingly violate its mandate or University Act regulations. The fee will provide money for services, including a digital learning com-
mons area in the library that will offer students access to tablets and laptop computers, and health and wellness services, like counselling. “That’s exactly what these fees are designed to create is new programs that didn’t exist before that are of benefit to students,” Klassen said. Barbosa said a vast majority of the students have laptops already and the university already
has a nurse practitioner on site, paid for by Island Health. “The idea that students would be expected to pay ... for something that one, they don’t need, two, is paid for by another organization is a pretty bad proposition,” Barbosa said. Klassen said the board is expected to vote on the proposal on Feb. 25 and if it passes, it would be implemented in April. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

EDITORIAL
Throne speech strikes balance
The 2016 Speech from the Throne contains several items that give hope for the future. There is a focus on agriculture and protecting local food supplies, attention to climate change and First Nations issues, and pledges to do something about the soaring price of housing that could lock a generation out of home ownership. Near the beginning of the document, there is a section that would have seemed bizarre just a few short years ago. British Columbians are warned about the economic trap that has enveloped Alberta. “Over the decades, Alberta lost its focus,” said Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon, speaking for Premier Christy Clark’s Liberal government. “They expected their resource boom never to end, failed to diversify their economy and lost control of government spending.” For decades, and particularly during the 1990s when the NDP was in power in B.C., it was popular to emphasize how much B.C. could learn from Alberta. It seemed British Columbia was somehow to blame for not sitting atop a giant lake of oil during a time of rising fossil fuel prices. Now, unfortunately for Albertans, the bust that follows all booms has arrived. And it turns out that rather than wisely investing, successive Conservative governments squandered the oil-generated wealth on government spending and low taxes. We shouldn’t be too quick to point fingers. B.C. has a more diversified economy, but we still depend on many natural resources that are subject to the rising and falling tides of the world economy. And our own government is still going forward with plans for liquefied natural gas – albeit more slowly. It’s good that we’re wary of falling into Alberta’s trap. But hopefully our government will learn the larger lesson – that there is no economy so successful that it can’t be dealt a blow by factors entirely outside the control of any premier or legislature.

will have to be decided,” said Myhrer. A school district committee is considering those questions. There will be digital archiving and some pieces of Woodlands may become historical artifacts, but other things will be preserved only as memories. Lorna Riddell, a teacher at the school since 1986, said she’ll remember walking the halls and hearing the sounds coming from the classrooms: the lessons and the laughter. “I’ll be able to see it; I’ll be able to hear it,” she said. “What better memory could I have than all of that? And I’ll take that with me when I lock the door on the way out.” Myhrer said organizing the anniversary was therapeutic. Perhaps it brings some closure to the school’s closure, though the transition process will continue. There will be other activities and probably some homework for students – portfolios, essays – because after all, school closure is surely a teachable moment. Woodlands Secondary will be shut in June, Mrs. Riddell will lock the door, and all the lights will be turned off. All the lights, that is, except those stars, those Woodlands memories – those won’t flicker out for a while yet.

Opinion pages should reflect diverse views To the Editor,
Re: Editorial cartoon, Feb. 11. I am writing to you because I am particularly concerned with what I believe is your editorial policy. If you are a community newspaper, shouldn’t you try to make at least some effort to speak to the whole community? You published a cartoon of Justin Trudeau (who appears as Alfred E. Newman) that is ignorant and offensive – not only to the Prime Minister but to most Canadians and most local residents (please reference the latest federal election
results for substantiation of this point). I can only presume that it speaks to some kind of lowest common denominator in the conservative universe that you wish to reach. Your letters to the editor section is frequently laughable – in a number of recent issues you published what appeared to be an ongoing ‘debate’ about climate change. However, the majority of the letters that you published reflected the point of view that climate change is a hoax, that global warming has not been caused by man and that the vast
majority of climate change scientists don’t know what they are talking about. This should probably concern you. I am requesting that you revisit your editorial policy and the contributors to your editorial page. I think that you should replace Tom Fletcher with a less biased, more open-minded columnist now that the Bulletin is our only local paper. I also suggest that you find cartoonists who are actually clever and funny – who challenge us to actually think. If you are truly a trusted community newspaper you should

Malls have the right idea with free parking City’s core review To the Editor,
Re: Free parking continues in downtown Nanaimo, Feb. 4. Your story did not include the fact that the city has in the works plans to replace the two-hour free on-street parking spots downtown with pay-to-park ticket dispenser machines. Therefore, instead of parking free for two hours during the week at the non-metered spots, we will have to pay to park. The downtown
business association and city’s parking program allege they are enhancing the city core. To reveal the real truth on how to entice shoppers, all you have to do is drive to one of our many shopping malls and see how jammed their alwaysfree parking lots are. That is where the truly great entrepreneurial spirit can be found which attracts just about every shopper in the city. Ursula C. Knight Nanaimo

Site C should create jobs for Canadians To the Editor,
We have heard Premier Christy Clark say Site C is going to provide jobs for the people of B.C. Would someone then explain why so many contracts have been awarded to foreign companies? With all the unemployment we have in Canada, why are the B.C. Liberals handing out jobs to foreign corporations and temporary foreign workers? Aren’t the unemployed in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, etc., good enough to work in B.C. on something which will be paid for by B.C. taxpayers? All those ‘free trade’ agreements signed by the previous federal government have provisions for foreign corporations to bring in their own workers, if they have contracts in Canada.
Nanaimo News Bulletin 9
Did Clark forget Site C is being built on traditional First Nations land? Why aren’t First Nations workers in the area being trained for these jobs? Whatever is going on, the B.C. Liberals owe it to us, the taxpayers, to come clean about who is getting the contracts and jobs on Site C. It is, after all, going to cost us, the taxpayers at least $8 billion. If Site C is going ahead, the jobs must be given to Canadian workers. There are tens of thousands of unemployed in this country with the skills and education to do the work. We don’t need foreign workers. We need Canadian workers for Canadian jobs.

Re: Council includes conference centre in core review, Jan. 28. The civic playing field is finally being narrowed down, separating politicians looking after the bulk of its citizenry from those who apparently favor spending our money to fund select specialty organizations. Nanaimo’s core services review is now in full swing and will be completed by mid-May. Groups, which get permissive tax exemptions and grants, have now been included in the review along with the Vancouver Island Conference Centre ($1 million a year in tax funding), the Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation ($1.4 million) and the Downtown Nanaimo Business Improvement Association (more than $200,000 from taxpayers citywide, matched by downtown commercial property owners.) Since the entire city budget was $190 million last year there are likely lots of places where a core review will find efficiencies to save us money, although taxplundering organizations and their political allies will not be happy about having our bounty clawed back from their piggy banks. However, it will be about time.

Trish Kostian, Martin Kostian, centre, and Leo Boon are among those lobbying for a dedicated off-highway cycle route from Mill Bay to Comox, showcasing Vancouver Island’s shoreline.
In La Belle Province, it is known as La Route Verte – the Greenway. I t ’s a s p r a w l i n g 5,300-kilometre collection of designated roads, cycle paths and bike lanes that the National Post called a “cultural, historic, environmental, and artistic tribute to Quebec,” and National Geographic proclaimed the world’s best cycle route. It is also an economic generator, pumping an estimated $95.4 million into the Quebec economy annually, while attracting cycle tourists from around the globe to stay in local inns, eat local food and sightsee at local attractions. It’s a success story some Vancouver Island cyclists want to see repeated here. Members of the Greater Nanaimo Cycling Coalition and

Boon foresees connections to cycle routes on the Sunshine Coast and the Saanich Peninsula as part of a greater “B.C. greenway” that will allow users to experience Georgia Strait from both sides and link with cycle paths in Greater Victoria, the Lower Mainland and beyond. The coalition’s next step is a push to market the idea to Vancouver Island communities. With their support, Boon hopes to tap into funding available through economic development and cycling infrastructure grants in order to make the necessary route improvements. The final step is marketing the route through dedicated maps and tourism information outlets. More information is available at www.bccc. bc.ca/inside_passage_ ( ad 1A bike_route.

Flamenco’s range of emotions expressed in the dance always takes performer back to one of happiness THE NEWS BULLETIN
Joy. It is the emotional state flamenco always returns to at the end of the dance, said Janine Wood, a founding member of Solera Performing Arts Society. Flamenco leads the watcher through a full range of emotion. “Right through the emotions of deep passion, sorrow and even anger,” she said. “Flamenco brings you back to a joyful, happy place.” Wood said being introduced to the art form of flamenco “literally changed her life.” After being introduced to a teacher in Victoria, she felt driven to pursue the art form. It led her to visit Spain in 1998 and immerse herself in the culture. Since then she has visited the country eight times. Each time she visits with the intention of studying and learning choreography. “Building on our repertoire with the goal of finding authenticity,” said Wood. When she lived in Tofino, she formed the Solera Performing Arts group with some of her friends. She said it was a comfortable and nurturing environment and audience in Tofino that helped the troupe members grow as artists. “When you have an opportunity to show an audience, it forces you to do your best,” said Wood. Since forming in Tofino the dance members have moved to different communities, with Wood herself now living in Nanaimo.

The troupe performs Flamenco de la Costa Saturday (Feb. 20), featuring Gwyneth McIntosh, Jake Lee, Jan Bate and Wood. Lee, an acoustic guitarist, is providing the accompanying music for the performers. “His music is beautiful all on its own,” said Wood. “Some say guitar is one of the most difficult parts of flamenco to study.” Wood said McIntosh is a versatile performer and there are very few flamenco performers who can master both dancing and the voice like her. “She’s a powerhouse. Her cante is beautiful and her dancing is amazing,” she said. Wood said one of the challenges of flamenco is achieving authenticity. The dance is so “emotional based” that dancers need to put their “heart and soul into it each time” she said. “Flamenco is the marriage between Moroccan rhythms, Spanish guitar and with roots in Indian movement,” said Wood. “The hand movements are simultaneously strong, passionate and sensual.” Flamenco de la Costa, presented by Solera Performing Arts Society and Bandita Productions, takes the stage at 7 p.m. at the Harbour City Theatre, located at 25 Victoria Rd. Tickets are $17 in advance by calling 250-754-8550, online at www.porttheatre.com or e-mailing soleradance@gmail. com.

Art Lab provides educational space
I
NANAIMO ART Gallery programs engage and inspire community to use creative skills.
BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN
Connecting and engaging with community members through contemporary art is a core aspect of the Nanaimo Art Gallery’s education space. Art Lab was created in May 2014, after the gallery consolidated its operations downtown. While the gallery has been running education programs since its inception, the change allowed the gallery to cement Art Lab as a community engagement space, bringing all the education programming under one roof. “Getting people connected to the gallery is really important to
us. We want people to see this as their gallery, connected to them,” said Yvonne Vander Kooi, the gallery’s art education c o o rd i n a t o r. “ We would like people to know what we’re offering here is something everyone can take advantage of.” Art Lab’s mantra is experiment, create and learn. The gallery’s education programming is divided between children and adult offerings. The programming offered in the Art Lab reflects the gallery’s current exhibit. Julie Beven, the gallery’s executive director, said it’s a place of personal connection that allows people

Yvonne Vander Kooi, the Nanaimo Art Gallery’s art education coordinator, says Art Lab is a dedicated education space used to engage community members.
to “explore different ideas through the lens of art.” Programming offered usually draws on a theme connected to the exhibit, such as using wood to create art in connection with the gallery’s cur-
rent exhibit Silva Part II: Booming Grounds, which explores the forestry industry. “We want to get people excited about contemporar y art and open doors about what it looks like and get people engaged,” said Vander Kooi. Workshops are often started with a tour of the current exhibit. The kids’ programming runs every Saturday and is divided
between ages five to seven and eight to 12. All supplies are included for $12 or $20 for two siblings. Adult workshops include acrylic painting, Macro Flora Explorations on Feb. 25 with Vander Kooi, which looks at forest flora and will cover negative space, additive and subtractive painting and taking risks with art. On March 3, she leads a workshop on gestural portraiture to help participants learn how to experiment and play with their artwork through a series of exercises. The space also hosts an open studio drop-in session every third Tuesday from 7-9 p.m. During that time there are tables and easels set up with art supplies. Open studio is cancelled in March due to spring break camps, but starts again April. 19. For more information, please visitwww. nanaimoartgaller y. com or call 250-7541750. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Event highlights variety of cuisine in Nanaimo By Rachel SteRn the News BulletiN
Residents interested in tasting the culinary offerings of restaurants in the mid-Island have an opportunity to visit local eateries and try three-course meals through the Dine About program. Kim Smythe, president and CEO of the Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce, said after the chamber organized Feastival last year it felt the atmosphere was right to participate in the Dine About program. The program has been operating in other cities, such as Victoria, for a number of years. “It’s a way for people to find out about the restaurants they don’t know about,” said Smythe, adding it also gets people out into the community to “discover new tastes.” The inaugural Nanaimo Dine About program features 25 restaurants in the mid-Island, which includes Nanaimo, Lantzville, Parksville and Qualicum Beach. The participating

restaurants will offer a three-course fixed menu ranging in price points including $25, $35 or $45. The restaurants many offer one price option, two or all three. One of the Nanaimo restaurants participating is Browns Social House. Adam Dukoff, owner and operator of the restaurant, said Victoria Browns Social House locations have been participating in the program for years and it’s been “successful.” He said the restaurant was looking to become involved in the program in the mid-Island the first

“If you have been here, you can enjoy the dishes you have come to loves at Browns,” said Dukoff, adding it also gives people a chance to try dishes and restaurants they may never have tried before. The promotion runs Friday (Feb. 19) to March 6 and is a partnership between the Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce and the B.C. Restaurant and Food Services Association.

MEANINGFUL CHANGE “We all have a natural desire to improve ourselves and the world around us.” Mark McCurties Mark McCurties, an international speaker, writer, and full time practitioner of Christian Science healing will speak on the topic of “Meaningful Change: How God’s love can change your life and the world”. This February marks 150 years since Mary Baker Eddy experienced a profound healing moment and the revelation of the link between prayer and health, namely that God’s love can heal “every ill that flesh is heir to”. After many healings and much work, Eddy laid the foundation for a new branch of Christianity. In the last few decades other Christian churches are picking up the torch of primitive original Christian healing.

Dance hall subject of next Fringe Flick TheatreOne’s Fringe Flicks presents Jimmy’s Hall Feb. 21-22 at the Avalon Cinema at Woodgrove Centre. The film recounts the story of activist Jimmy Gralton and his deportation from Ireland during the country’s ‘Red Scare’ of the 1930s. Jimmy’s crime was to build a dance hall on a rural crossroads in an Ireland that was on the brink of civil war. As the hall grew in popularity its socialist and free-spirited reputation brought it to the attention of the church and
politicians who forced its closure and for Jimmy to flee. A decade later, at the height of the Depression, Jimmy returns from to look after his mother, vowing to live the quiet life. As Jimmy sees the poverty and growing cultural oppression, he reopens the hall. Tickets are $12 and available in advance by phone 250-7547587, online at www.theatreone. org and at the door for one-hour prior to show times Sunday (Feb. 21) at 1, 4 and 7 p.m., and Monday (Feb. 22) at 7 p.m.

February 13, 1941 - January 4, 2016 Norm passed away peacefully on Monday, January 4th in the Hospice Unit at Trillium Lodge in Parksville after a short, but courageous battle with cancer. Born in Port Alberni in 1941 to John and Mary Edgar, he spent his early years on Gabriola Island moving to Nanaimo in 1949. He married Carol in 1967 and they adopted two children, Lee & Cory in 1969 & 1971. The family lived in Nanaimo until Norm took a job in North Vancouver 1988. Norm was predeceased by his parents, John and Mary; son, Cory; and sister, Dorothy Slater. He is survived by son, Lee (Colleen); grandchildren, Trystan, Jerrid, Benjamin, Russell, Josiah, Isabella, Ashley and Brianna; sister, Margaret Bull and several nephews and nieces.

He started at Grandview Bowl in Nanaimo as part of the crew and as a spectator. He would go down to the states to take in a NASCAR race and you always knew he would have a race on TV when you dropped in to see him. He also loved to spend his time on the water fishing and spent countless hours fishing and camping with his boys at Sunset Cove. The family would like to thank all the doctors and nurses for their care of Norm during his illness.

oan died in Nanaimo on February 5, 2016 in the loving company of her children following a brief illness. Predeceased by her high school sweetheart and husband of 55 years, Dave Sheasgreen and her brother Bob Irwin, Joan is survived by her children, Wendy Carr, Kim Coulthard (Rich), Patrick (Biff ), Lisa Hall (Conrad) and Chris (Sonam), her grandchildren Chris Carr (Katrina), Jordan and Logan Hall, Kendall Coulthard, Karma and Jorden Matho-Sheasgreen, her great granddaughter, Kinsley Carr and her brother, Brian Irwin (Maureen). Joan grew up in Vancouver and attended Prince of Wales high school. After establishing their first home in New Westminster, Joan and Dave moved to Calgary but returned to Richmond where the children were raised. The family home was the social hub of the neighbourhood famous for its parties which usually ended with guests being served breakfast as the sun rose. After the kids had left home, Joan and Dave moved to the Irwin family home at Vesuvius Bay on Saltspring Island where Joan in her usual manner, established many long standing friendships. Later, they moved to Nanaimo where Joan continued to stay in touch with her high school classmates while making many new friends. Joan relished her role as the matriarch of an ever expanding family, particularly enjoying the celebration of her 81st birthday with her family in January. A warm and loving person with a perpetually sunny disposition, she will be well remembered and long missed. A gathering in memory of Joan will be held on February 21, 1:00- 4:00 p.m. at the home of her daughter, Kim in Nanaimo.

Experts’ Advice Bursitis is commonly seen in the shoulder DR. KAREN MATTERN or the hip. Those joints and others contain pockets of fluid, called bursae, which distribute the pressure of muscles, ligaments and tendons as they move over one another in the joint. If there is abnormal movement of the joint or it is out of balance, a bursa can become inflamed and tender and movement can become painful. Also, there is often pain at rest. Bursitis is best treated with ice to decrease the inflammation, and chiropractic treatment to restore proper movement to surrounding joints. Such adjustments can significantly increase the speed of healing. If you have bursitis, consult your chiropractor, who can balance the spine and joints, and teach you the best exercises to get back to normal movement. For more information call our office at 250-758-7022 or email drkarin@shaw.ca

Does my mom need to be present for me to get Power of Attorney over TIAH M. WORKMAN her? You cannot get Power of Attorney over another individual . . . that person gives you Power of Attorney for them. As such, they are in fact the only person that does need to be present to give instructions to the notary public or lawyer to prepare that document, although the Attorney appointed will need to sign the document before it can be used.

How can I stop a wage garnishment?
Aside from settling with the creditor or paying off the debt, there are two GARETH SLOCOMBE, CA, CIRP methods under the Bankruptcy & Insolvency Act to have a wage garnishee lifted. One is to file for bankruptcy and the other is to file a proposal to creditors. The proposal option is usually preferable if you have the ability to continue to make some reasonable payment to creditors. Once a proposal or bankruptcy is commenced all wage garnishees and wage assignments cease, even garnishees from Canada Revenue Agency. The only type of garnishee which continues is a garnishee for maintenance or support under the Family Maintenance Enforcement Program. Since this type of debt survives a bankruptcy, the garnishee is not released in respect of post bankruptcy or proposal earnings.

During Heart Month people are being reminded to practice a healthy lifestyle and diet. This promotes good eye health too! DR. PAUL GENEAU Did you know that you can have a stroke in your eye? Its true! Blood vessels in the retina can get blocked or hemorrhage, just like in the brain. This can cause serious vision impairment. Also, a stroke in the brain often causes vision loss When your eyes are examined, your optometrist or ophthalmologist checks the health of the veins and arteries in the retina. When problems are detected it may be a clue to underlying systemic health problems, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes. Regular, routine eye exams help protect the eye health, and may also help in the detection and management of systemic disease. Book an appointment today.

This type of condition occurs predominantly in men and is often caused by a joint that does not bend backwards enough to let you walk efficiently. The most common cause being a gradual progression of Osteoarthritis in the joint between your big toe and the first metatarsal. The big toe should be able to bend backwards approximately 65° for ideal walking. When your big toe bends backwards less than this it is referred to as Hallux Limitus, and if it bends less than 20° is referred to as Hallux Rigidus. Limited motion will require you to compensate somewhere else and can result in a variety of aches and pains including the low back. This type of condition can be helped by a properly designed and manufactured custom foot orthotic, combined with appropriate shoe selection. Remember maintaining activity is key to maintaining your health in retirement. Should you suffer from this or any other foot pain please do not hesitate to call for an appointment.
Tinnitus is noise or sound heard in the ears or head which is not from an JEFF CAMPBELL, RHIP external source. It is described as ringing, whistling, hissing or roaring by the over 360,000 Canadians who experience it. Tinnitus is a symptom. A complete evaluation by a qualified hearing care professional is necessary and a referral to an ear, nose and throat doctor may be recommended in order to rule out a medically treatable cause. There may be no cure for tinnitus but often it can be successfully managed. Counselling, diet review, stress management, masking and hearing aid use (if hearing loss is present) are all treatments available. If you have hearing loss and or tinnitus, consult a qualified hearing care professional today.

How can I make sure advertising will work for my company? Message: The essential first step in advertising is to figure out what message to send to your customers. Advertising is simply a way to send a message based on your marketing plan and sound business strategy. Repetition: An advertising campaign is a planned appeal to the client’s potential customers, using the power of repetition. The power of repetition reinforces the advertisers message. Consistency equates with familiarity, familiarity equates with confidence and confidence equates with sales.

Is there treatment for ringing in the ears?
naturopathic How can I determine if my symptoms are caused by food allergies?
A food allergy is an immediate hypersensitivity reaction that is IgE mediated and causes symptoms DR. BRANDI HONAIZER within minutes of ingestion, such as hives, itching, swelling and wheezing. Allergies to foods such as peanuts, eggs, milk, fish, soy or wheat are commonly diagnosed with a skin scratch test by an allergist. A food sensitivity is a delayed hypersensitivity reaction that produces symptoms within 48-72 hours after ingestion. Because of this delay, it can be hard to determine the cause of the food reaction. Symptoms of food sensitivities include fatigue, migraines, atopic dermatitis, acne, IBS, IBD, recurrent infections, postnasal drip and joint pain. There are a few testing options available to determine if food sensitivities may be the cause of your symptoms: 1). Elimination and challenge diet 2). Blood testing can be done by finger prick or blood draw to measure how much of an antibody (immune) reaction there is to specific food proteins. 3). Skin sensitivity testing: this is a non-invasive test that can be done in office. This is a great option for children and babies or those with a fear of needles. Food sensitivity testing is covered under most extended health care plans.

What is the difference between a Mobile home and a Modular Home?
The main differences between Modular and Manufactured (aka mobile homes) are construction standards, materials and foundations. Manufactured / Mobile homes are built on a steel frame and are normally placed on wood blocking, concrete pil- TIM WAIT P.R.E.C. lars and sometimes on metal posts. Modular homes are built with a wood floor system and are designed to go on a either a crawlspace or a basement. Modular homes are built to Canadian Standards Association CSA-A277 (Canadian National Building Code) and are built to meet BC Building Code. These Standard Specifications can include engineered floor trusses, 2 x 6 exterior walls, 8’ & 9’ ceilings and primed and painted drywall. Building structural module homes indoors, in a controlled environment, resolves many problems typical of conventional on-site building. Both materials and schedules are less vulnerable to weather conditions. Tolerances are more exact and quality more consistent. Costs are lower and prices and completion dates more reliable, as the work of specialized trades workers is more easily scheduled and coordinated. Full testing of plumbing, wiring, heating and other systems before Modules leave the factory ensures every completed structure still meets the manufacturer’s exacting CSA approved standards. Deerwood Estates is a gated community and the Modular homes were built by Retire West, a family owned company with a solid reputation earned through 25 years of planning, development and management of Modular home communities in BC. Deerwood Estates is distinguished by quality in design and construction and is a Hallmark in tasteful landscaping and attention to detail in the development of streetscapes and generous green space.

Seven signs you may need a mortgage tune-up
Did you know that just like your car or your home, you mortgage can benefit from a seasonal inspection! Your car SHARON FAUCHON, gets taken in for regular servicing to keep it running for the KRISTA VERHIEL long term, shouldn’t your financial future get the same kind of attention? Here are seven common signs you need a mortgage tune-up: •You are locked in at a higher rate than you could get today – and you want a professional opinion on your options; •You’re thinking about moving to a new home this year – or pondering buying an investment property; •You’re carrying more than $25,000 in high-interest loans or credit cards and it’s affecting your cash flow; •There’s a renovation or home repair project coming up this year – either by choice or necessity; •An investment or business opportunity is available - and you wish you could take advantage; •There’s a large expense looming – tuition, wedding – and you want to plan ahead; and, •Your mortgage is up for renewal this year. If you haven’t had a mortgage review in the last year – or if you recognize one of the signs that it’s time for a tune-up – then get in touch. And if you know someone who could also benefit: consider this a coupon for a free inspection for a friend or family member! A mortgage in tip-top condition is the best way to get you where you’re going in your financial future!

I know you say the majority of what you sell is made in BC but when I was looking JOHN ROGERS at a competitor’s store the other day they told me the wood was imported from China and they just assemble the products in Surrey. I can assure you the products in question are made in BC with wood usually harvested in the Pacific Northwest! Aside from some textiles and a very few tiny items we don’t buy from China. I’ve always been proud of our record for BC made, Canadian made and from the USA in that order. I always check close to home first. It’s unfortunate that some competitors resort to these types of tactics just because they can’t keep up.

For some of us this time of year is not really our TRACY L. THOMPSON favorite; especially on those days leading up to and during Valentine’s Day which can bring back past emotions and feelings of a breakup. And it doesn’t help when all around you there are reminders of loving couples embraced happily in the throes of love. Perhaps you are unable to break away from that person even though they are totally bad for you in many ways but you still think about them often, miss them, and even look for silly ways to meet up with them all the while feeling the pain of letting them go. Hypnotherapy is a good way to help you break away from those emotional connections by using creative imagery during hypnosis to cut the ties from the past in order to move you fully into the present moment. Hypnosis can strengthen your confidence, selfacceptance, and self-reliance in order to move you into a healthier, loving new relationship instead so that you will enjoy being a Valentine once again.

Clippers too much for Island rivals I

top scorer with 17 points and Olivia Mjaaland led the ’Cats in scoring in the other three tournament games. The Nanaimo District girls finished fifth and are eliminated from playoffs. Wellington’s play-in game against Brentwood took place Monday after press time.
The Nanaimo Timbermen made a bunch of top-10 picks and then kept picking the rest of the night, well into the late rounds. The city’s senior A Western Lacrosse Association club added 16 prospects last Wednesday at the WLA Draft in Vancouver. Nanaimo had four top-10 selections and used them on defenders Jordan Gilles and Taylor Stuart and then forwards Chase McIntyre and Jordan Cunningham. “We thought we did well,” said Earl Nicholson, general manager of the Timbermen. “We addressed some areas that we were looking to address.” Nanaimo’s top three choices are all guys from the mainland, but Timbermen brass contacted all of them prior to draft day and received indications they would play on the Island. Gilles, 5-foot-11, 175 pounds, played junior with the Delta Islanders and is a transition defender who is strong on loose balls. He is a member of the NLL’s Colorado Mammoth. “He’s the type of player that I think fits the way the game is going,” Nicholson said. “You’ve got to get some offence from the back and get it started at the back.” Stuart, 6-foot-1, 190 pounds, more of a defensive defender, spent four seasons with the junior A Coquitlam Adanacs. McIntyre and Cunningham are both righthanded forwards, which the T-men were seeking. McIntyre is a 6-foot-5, 215 pounder who had 47 points last season with the junior Adanacs. Other picks included former Nanaimo juniors Brett Hawrys, Cole Kryworuchka, Devan Smith, Jeremy Roe, Jordan Kuziek, Cody Short and Nick Kapusty. Read more at www. nanaimobulletin.com.

The Clips beat the Cowichan Valley Capitals 7-4 on Wednesday at Frank Crane Arena, then doubled up the Alberni Valley Bulldogs 6-3 the next night at Port Alberni. The home-ice win was a bit of a wild one as the Shipmen scored the last three goals of the game after the visitors tied it seven minutes into the third period. “We battled through adversity there, killed a few penalties, stuck with our game plan, the boys worked hard and we came out victorious,” said Clippers forward Chris Dodero, the game’s first star. It was a back-and-forth affair, as the Clips scored two early goals in the first period, fell behind 3-2 early in the second, then got the lead back in the third. Special teams were a factor, as Nanaimo was 3-for-8 with the man advantage while Cowichan was 0-for-8. The Clips killed off two five-on-threes late in the second period. “The guys did a nice job of executing the way that we do want to kill,” said Mike Vandekamp, Clippers coach, adding that some key shot blocks and a couple of big saves helped. Dodero, after being

stopped on a penalty shot in the second period, broke through with two goals in the third, including the game winner. Spencer Hewson also had a twogoal game and Sheldon Rempal, Nolan Aibel and Devin Brosseau were the other Nanaimo scorers. Gavin Gould added three assists and Evan Johnson made 26 saves for the win. Notably, Rempal was assessed a major penalty and ejected for a blow to the head of an opponent in the second period on a retaliation. The transgression resulted in an automatic two-game suspension. Rempal had been leading the league in scoring at the time of the suspension, but has since been passed in the scoring race. The next night, Gould
led the Clippers with a hat trick, while Hewson had two goals and two assists. Brosseau also tallied and Johnson made 43 saves for the win. The Clippers are happy with the points, which the coach called huge for his team. “We’ve got some big games ahead here…” Vandekamp said. “Right now is the meat and potatoes of our entire year when it comes to trying to finish in first place.” GAME ON … The Clippers play back-to-back home games this coming weekend (Feb. 19-20) against the second-place Powell River Kings at Frank Crane Arena. Friday’s faceoff is at 7 p.m., with Saturday’s game at 6 p.m. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Dover wins North Islands, Wellington forced to play off The first round of basketball playoffs showed it’s going to be a tough road. Senior girls’ basketball teams were challenged this past weekend at North Island championships. The Dover Bay Dolphins senior AAA girls were able to win the North Island title at the tournament, held at Courtenay’s G.P. Vanier Secondary School. Dover
hadn’t been able to beat the host Towhees in four prior meetings this season, but turned that around in the Island final. The Dolphins defeated the Alberni Armada in the semifinals. Meanwhile, senior AA North Islands were held at Kwalikum Secondary School and the Wellington Wildcats placed fourth, not enough for an automatic
berth in Islands, but enough to earn a play-in game. The Wildcats lost by five to the host Kondors in Saturday’s thirdplace game. “It was an intense game and both teams wanted it. No one was willing to give up anything,” said Nicole McRae, coach of the Wilcats. Mccalli Franklin was Welly’s

Andy Reynolds received the Hero In You Award for his contribution to local sport, including as a lacrosse coach and
executive and as a special-needs hockey coach. “He thrives from the adrenaline, competition and challenge, but most importantly the sportsmanship and team spirit that comes from sport…” said Brande Terris, lacrosse director, who presented the award. “He has given so much.” The awards raise money for local highcalibre athletes. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
The Nanaimo Pirates are looking for the region’s best ball players as they plan to set sail for the 2016 season. The team is holding tryouts this coming weekend (Feb. 20-21) as it prepares for the B.C. Premier Baseball League season. The tryouts are open to all bantam and midget players born from 1998 to 2001. “There are huge benefits in getting to the PBL as early as possible, so you can be seen by other coaches, many of whom are either the coaches or selection members for the provincial select teams,” noted a Pirates press release. Saturday’s tryouts will be at Serauxmen Stadium from 10 a.m.1 p.m., rain or shine. Sunday’s tryouts are from 1-4 p.m. starting at the stadium, but could be moved to Beban Park’s Centennial Building, depending on the weather. Players are asked to show up 15 minutes early to tryouts wearing baseball attire. For more information, visit nanaimopirates. pointstreaksites.com.
