Annual walk, vigil planned for missing woman LISA MARIE YOUNG missing since June 30, 2002, disappearance.

BY CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN

Joanne Young wonders what her daughter would be doing today and what kind of woman she would have become. Lisa Marie Young went missing June 30, 2002, after she left a house party. A man in a red Jaguar was going to give her a ride to a Subway restaurant and then home, but she never appeared at either location and has not been seen since. Young would have turned 30 this year. “I often wonder if she would be a mom by now or following her dreams of a good career,” Joanne Young said. “She often spoke of becoming a sportswriter or broadcaster – that kind of thing. She loved sports.” A walk and vigil is planned for July 30, starting at Diana Krall Plaza at 2 p.m. Young has named this year’s event Walk with Lisa to reflect the continuing efforts solve the case of her daughter’s disappearance. Last year’s walk and vigil drew about 40 people and Young hopes more will come out this year. In spite of crime re-enactments and other efforts by police to generate tips and leads, no breakthroughs that could lead to solving the case have been made in recent years. “None,” said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman. “It’s still an active investigation.” Still, Young remains hopeful. “The police tell us that they’re working on tips that come in, so that gives us some hope that they’re still working on it,” she said. The walk will follow a route up Skinner Street past Club 241, formerly the Jungle Cabaret, one of the places Young was last seen prior to her disappearance, before winding its way down to the waterfront and Maffeo Sutton Park for a vigil. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Greens looking to gain ground

TWO LEADERS visit city for barbecue with party supporters. BY TOBY GORMAN THE NEWS BULLETIN

Threatening grey skies were the backdrop for a Green Party love-in Thursday as federal deputy leader Adriane Carr and provincial leader Jane Sterk spoke at a potluck lunch in Nanaimo. The lunch was held in the backyard of Anne Marie Benoit, a candidate in the recent federal election who announced plans to run in the next provincial election. Sterk said the provincial Green Party is facing an ominous battle in its efforts to ramp up for what could be a snap election call, which she said could take place as early as Sept. 6 for an Oct. 4 election date to not interfere with the scheduled municipal elections in November. “We were working on a fouryear strategy that was based on a May 2013 election, but everything has changed now, that plan had to be tossed out the window,” said Sterk, the party leader since 2007. “No matter what, we need to identify our candidates so they are prepared for a fall election, but anticipate we could go as far as a spring election, a fall election in 2012 or even the fixed election date, which is May 14, 2013. That’s a lot to ask of a candidate and a lot to ask as a team.” In the most recent provincial election in May 2009, the Green Party finished third overall with

8.1 per cent of the popular vote, but no candidates were elected. Green candidates finished in third place in all 14 Island ridings. Sterk said trying to rally 200 to 600 volunteers per riding to sup-

port candidates to run against NDP and Liberal incumbents is the party’s biggest task. “We need to have these people in place and ready to communicate our policy,” she said. “That’s a huge challenge to accomplish in such a short period of time.” Harold Henn, a Green supporter since 1983, said the party will have difficulty gaining traction if the national media continues to ignore it. “They’ve ignored us, completely left us out of the conversation,” said Henn. “I think our party has earned respect on a provincial and federal level and we’re just not getting it from the media.” The federal Greens have had

more success, but only slightly. After party leader Elizabeth May was elected to the House of Commons in May, the Greens have gained confidence in getting more candidates elected, but they aren’t relying on invites from national TV stations to participate in future television debates. “We’re not counting on it,” said Carr, who helped co-found the Green Party of British Columbia and worked as its leader from 1983 to 1985 and 2000-06. “We put a tremendous amount of resources into Elizabeth’s campaign win, resources we couldn’t possibly provide for every candidate. But we proved we can win, we got our foot in the door and we’re not going to let it close on us.” In the 2011 federal election, Carr finished with 15.4 per cent of the vote to finish in fourth place behind the Liberals, Conservatives and NDP in her riding of Vancouver Centre. She ran federally for the first time in 2008. Wearing a pale green jacket and thumbing away at a bright green Blackberry, Carr told the News Bulletin funding will be the party’s biggest challenge after the Conservative Party eliminated voter-direct financing. “The per-vote and voterdirected financing was a beautiful part and a very democratic part of our voting system and I’m really chagrined to see the Conservatives have maligned and misrepresented the fact that each voter, by voting for a party, sent just a tiny bit of their taxes our way, to a party they voted for,” she said. reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

Mounties investigating complaint of harrassed jogger BY CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN

A woman jogging on Victoria Road had a disturbing encounter with a man driving a pickup truck Wednesday. The woman, 37, was jogging south on Victoria Road shortly before 8 a.m. when a man in a small older model, two-door burgundy pickup pulled over and

demanded the woman help him fix his cellphone. The suspect yelled forcefully several times demanding the woman stop and help him, but she continued running. “He muttered something to himself or to her, she’s not sure, and then he sped off,” said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman. “He was last seen turning left toward Nicol Street.”

Police describe the driver as being in his 60s or 70s, 5’10”, and wearing a grey or brown buttondown shirt with grey or brown suspenders and a dark jacket. No licence plate number or vehicle make was reported. O’Brien said police fanned out and searched through the area as soon as they got the woman’s report, but so far have not found the truck or driver.

Police did not put out a public advisory about the incident. “It does not mean that we are not investigating it or that we’re not treating it as a priority file,” O’Brien said. O’Brien said there is no relation between this event and others reported recently in the Harewood and Jingle Pot areas of a man in a truck approaching teenage girls. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

City relaxes garden restriction URBAN AGRICULTURE issue still a hot topic for residents, council in District of Lantzville.

THE NEWS BULLETIN

Larger urban gardens could soon sprout up in Nanaimo under a new zoning bylaw being considered by city council. Coun. Fred Pattje successfully passed a motion Monday that would see urban property owners with plots larger than 2,400 square metres (half an acre) allowed to have gardens on 25 per cent of the property, as well as sell produce that garden

provides at markets. Prior to the amendment, 600 square metres was the maximum size for an urban garden within city limits. “Now, if your lot is 4,000 square metres, your garden can be as big as 1,000 square metres,” said Pattje. “This is a direct response to feedback we received at recent open houses where people with larger lots expressed interest in using the same proportions for their gardens.”

Andrew Mostad formed Friends of Urban Agriculture Lantzville over the issue of urban gardening.

While the amendment itself passed, it is still subject to the approval of the bylaw, a document that affects all zoned prop-

erties in Nanaimo. The bylaw passed third reading Monday and is expected to be adopted later this summer. Also on Monday, urban gardeners in Lantzville held a rally outside the municipal office during the district’s regular council meeting, hoping to sway council that a bylaw being developed there is inadequate. The bylaw would allow residents to use 30 per cent of their property up to 600 square metres for urban gardens. “We definitely think that having a progressive scale is a good thing,” said Andrew

Mostad, spokesman for Friends of Urban Agriculture Lantzville. “We’re still concerned about the scale that is being used. We’re thinking that 30 per cent is still not enough, we really think that this will shut down a lot of our small-scale farmers. It would open up the backyard gardener, but it would shut down the small-scale farmer who would provide most of the food he grows for a market.” Mostad said the next step in addressing urban agriculture in Lantzville is to strike an urban agriculture committee that can work with council to reach a solution. An invite for committee members is expected later this month. Urban agriculture became a hotly debated issue between urban farmers and Lantzville council after Compassion Farms was issued a cease-and-desist order last October, following a complaint from a neighbour that the farm was operating outside of zoning restrictions.

Ranking of hospital care panned by health unions BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN

A recent report ranking B.C.’s acute-care hospitals isn’t getting much credence from health-care unions. The document, released by the Fraser Institute earlier this month, compares the death, infection and other rates for procedures among 95 acute care hospitals in the province. The report data is from more than three million anonymous patient records from the Canadian Institute for Health Information’s discharge abstract database. There are 41 indicators overall. But unlike previous years, the report no longer has overall mortality index ranking all hospitals against each other. Mike Old, a spokesman for the Hospital Employees’ Union, said it could be hard for people to make sense of the information, categories such as risk adjustment, and what it means and how it will affect them. “It’s pretty much impossible for the average British Columbian to use the information in a useful way,” he said. Nanaimo Regional General Hospital received a rating on par with most B.C. institutions for most procedures. However for the past several years it has performed worse than the B.C. average on congestive heart failure mortality rates and acute stroke mortality rates. Since 2006-07 NRGH has received a worse than average in congestive heart failure. In acute stroke it received a

It’s pretty much impossible to use the information.

worse than average mortality rate from 2001-05. It returned to the provincial average for a couple of years and then dipped again from 2007-09. But NRGH has excelled at laparoscopic cholecystectomy, invasive gall bladder removal, and has performed better than average from 2001-09. Stephen May, a spokesman for the Ministry of Health, said in an e-mail that the report is an important document that allows for transparency, but it has both strengths and weaknesses. “We have a number of concerns with the Fraser Institute’s methodology – concerns shared by other jurisdictions in Canada,” he said. “These report cards are evolving tools that must be interpreted with caution. “It is more important to compare hospital performance over time than to compare hospitals against each other. Ranking hospitals against each other can be volatile and misleading, as hospitals serve different patients with different needs, requiring different procedures.” Some hospitals might handle more complex procedures or have a larger volume while others may perform very little, which could lead more expert

facilities ranked lower, he said. May’s sentiments are echoed by the Vancouver Island Health Authority. In a statement to the News Bulletin, VIHA said that the rankings can shift dramatically from year to year particularly in smaller hospitals based on a few more deaths that might not have been preventable. Old said realistically a person living in Nanaimo can’t go to a hospital in Kitimat or Nelson for a procedure if it has a better ranking. People are treated in their community and need to demand that their health-care providers are kept accountable for the services they offer. “Nanaimo Regional General Hospital has had its problems, but at the end of the day there are thousands of people that receive good quality service every month,” said Old. People with concerns should speak to their physicians about their local health-care service, he said. Nadeem Esmail, co-author of the Fraser Institute report, said the document is a valuable tool to compare trends over time in a hospital and hold health-care institutions accountable. Esmail said a hospital that consistently performs worse than the provincial average should be asked questions, while others that perform significantly better should be used as examples of excellence for other institutions to learn from.

thought from the University of Chicago and a PhD in philosophy from McMaster University. She also taught at St. John’s College in New Mexico, Brock University and McMaster University before coming to VIU. Liberal studies colleague John Black will serve as interim dean of the faculty of social sciences for the next year. Black, who worked under Leavitt for the past six years, said her common sense and ability to effectively advocate for the department will be missed. “I think they’re very lucky to get her and it’s a good career move for her as well,” he said. “We’re going to miss her, but we know she’s going to a fine place.” Leavitt’s appointment followed an eight-month national search conducted by a presidential search committee.

A little bit of cream cheese and talent in the kitchen has garnered Lyndsay Wells a top spot in a national cooking contest. The Ladysmith resident, who works in Nanaimo for the Central Vancouver Crisis Society, is one of four contest winners for The Real Women of Philadelphia competition. “I’m so excited. This has just been amazing,” said Wells. “It’s hard to even put a word on that but it’s an honour.” The contest challenged entrants to create delicious cream cheese recipes for a chance to win $20,000 and to star in cooking videos and contribute recipes to a cookbook online, www.realwomenofphiladelphia.ca. Wells was one of 16 finalists, with four competing against each other in four categories – appetizer, side dish, entrée and dessert. Her WELLS winning recipe was creamy pistachio and mango chutney pork tenderloin. The contestants participated in a cookoff hosted by Anna Olson, celebrity chef and host of Food Network’s Fresh, Sugar and an author of best-selling cookbooks. “There are a number of reasons Lyndsay’s dish won. I was personally impressed with her creative use of cream cheese in a savoury dish,” said Olson, in an e-mail. “I liked the contemporary combination of flavours, the mango chutney particularly, and I liked that it also spoke to what the average Canadian home cook would want to make that is delicious, nutritious and cost effective.” The winners were informed during a gala dinner at the Scarpetta restaurant in the Thompson Hotel in Toronto, with the winning dishes served. Wells’s dish was cooked by one of the judges, who is also the chef de cuisine at Scarpetta. For the next six months, people can follow Wells and the other contest winners on the Real Women of Philadelphia website and learn cooking tips and tasty recipes.

Vancouver Island University dean is heading east to take the top position at Canada’s oldest chartered university. Anne Leavitt, social sciences faculty dean, becomes president and vicechancellor at the University of King’s College in Halifax in August. Leavitt said she’ll miss VIU, but could not pass up the opportunity to take the top position in a school that emphasizes integrated and interdisciplinary studies. “There’s wonderful people at VIU and it’s been really exciting to be involved in all the programs and initiatives that go on at that place,” she

said. “I’ve really loved being at VIU.” An opportunity to teach in the interdisciplinary liberal studies program at VIU (then Malaspina UniversityCollege) attracted her to Nanaimo in 1993. It was the first bachelor of arts program offered at the institution. “The unique thing about these kinds of programs is inviting students to encounter great works that have been produced throughout the world without dividing them up into different disciplines,” said Leavitt. Liberal studies at VIU is team-taught by a group of instructors from a range of backgrounds using participatory seminars. Leavitt chaired the liberal studies department and also taught and chaired the philosophy department at Malaspina, then became dean of the social sciences faculty in 2005.

EDITORIAL

Tougher rules curb carnage Count drinking and driving as another element of the 20th century’s car culture that’s been left behind in the 21st century. Earlier this week the province made the obvious decision to keep tough rules introduced 10 months ago that have worked to curb the carnage caused by intoxicated drivers. Across B.C., there have been 30 deaths in a seven-month period that averaged 61 fatalities in each of the previous five years. This is more than enough evidence to keep the laws as they are – there had been talk of easing the rules after bars and restaurants complained the laws were too harsh and hurt business. However, while this has been somewhat true, there has also been an evolution in how people think about their drink. Whether switching from boozy beverages to mocktails or planning an alternative way to get home, the public appears to have adapted to the new reality. Part of this can be attributed to fear of getting caught, but hopefully it also signals a sea change in society. Younger generations have grown up being told about the dangers of drunk driving and their education has rubbed off on older citizens. The glory days of gas guzzlers are long gone and city planners are more and more looking at ways to keep people out of their vehicles. Driving and drinking, once far too common, is also a relic of an past era. Taxis, bus service, friends and even courtesy rides from Good Samaratin organizations are now readily available for people who want to go out for a drink and get home without driving. The message is clear – there are options to avoid hitting the road hammered. The law works and it’s time for all B.C. drivers to work with it. The Nanaimo News Bulletin is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry. The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member newspapers. Directors oversee the mediation of complaints, with input from both the newspaper and the complaint holder. If talking with the editor or publisher does not resolve your complaint about coverage or story treatment, you may contact the B.C. Press Council. Your written concern, with documentation, should be sent to B.C. Press Council, 201 Selby St., Nanaimo, B.C. V9R 2R2. For information, phone 888-687-2213 or go to www.bcpresscouncil.org

larger lots using every available inch for farming, just like most people wouldn’t want the same residential property taken over by a backyard mechanic’s operation. But by the same token, homeowners shouldn’t be forced to keep as useless lawn, ground that could be used for growing produce. What’s needed are regulations that keep reasonable backyard gardens from growing into unreasonable urban agriculture. In Nanaimo, we’ve seen recent changes to allow homeowners to keep a few chickens and ducks. And an amendment to the proposed new zoning bylaw relaxes the limits on how much space residents can use to grow produce. Both moves are sensible. The limits are sensible and reasonable. In Lantzville, sense seems to have been lost – on both sides of the argument, mind you. Without rehashing the details of the dispute, which we’ve been covering in our news pages and has been the subject of lively discussion on our letters page, I’ll admit I think the debate has gotten more than a little out of hand. The real issue has been so muddled by posturing rhetoric and misinformation (again, from all corners), that a sensible solution might not be possible. Frankly, both sides need to set aside their past differences and verbal sparring, agree that a compromise is needed and then make that compromise happen. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

Teachers asking for too much in contract

Nanaimo News Bulletin

Poverty defined relative to wealth To the Editor, Re: Child poverty strategy vital, Opinion, July 9. Not to patently underscore the significance of poverty in developed industrial nations, but we must keep it in perspective. Our poor live in ‘relative poverty’ in that they are poor ‘relative’ to the wealth of their immediate neighbors who are living in ‘absolute affluence’ with wealth way beyond that which is required to provide for their personal needs. Third World poverty is absolute poverty, where people live at the absolute margin of existence in

To the Editor, Re: Teachers demand extra leave, July 12. The demands of the teachers union are an insult to every British Columbian. Who would demand such lavish benefits in a world that is drowning in debt? We, as a people, are in so much debt as a person, municipality, province and country that we need to stop thinking that we are so hard done by. The teachers’ union wants 10 days paid leave on the death of any friend or relative, and 26 weeks off each year as fully paid leave to provide compassionate care to any person. The teachers want up to a 21-per cent pay raise for parity with teachers in Alberta, a five-per cent bonus for each year they work and more classroom prep time. This is aside from the goldlined benefits they already are privileged with. It could be possible that with Pro-D days, eight weeks of summer holidays, Thanksgiving and Remembrance Day, a twoweeks Christmas break, two weeks spring break and only 39 teaching weeks in the year as it is, a teacher with these demands could get paid $47,000 to $75,000 a year to not teach a day. I don’t think we can afford to entertain any of these lavish benefits. With declining enrolment, a 10-per cent decrease in pay, fewer Pro-D days and longer teaching hours in a day would go a long way to help our children have some sort of future and not have all the taxes they pay go to interest on our debt. How do teachers think that they are entitled to such benefits? B. Parker Nanaimo

a way that by anyone’s standard is inhumane; 1.7 billion live in absolute poverty and generate 15 million deaths annually to malnutrition, even though the world has enough food to feed them. That is, in large part, because we, the affluent, direct grains

into production of meat, milk, eggs and bio-fuels, inflating our per capita grain consumption which outprices grain for those in absolute poverty. Sadly, the statistics are depressing; as developed nations become more affluent, their benevolence in the form of ratio of aid to GNP diminishes and their concern about maintaining and enhancing their collected wealth increases. How do we reconcile a morality that measures success in terms of wealth, cultivating inequities that result in a reality where the three richest men on Earth have

more assets than the combined GNP of all the world’s poor countries combined? It is right, as egalitarian Canadians, to be concerned for those among us that live in relative poverty and helping locally is efficient because it avoids large bureaucracies and it is needed. But we must acknowledge horrific human sufferance transcends our local boundaries and we have an ethical obligation to help with a problem that we contributed to. Ron Heusen Nanaimo

Readers respond: Feedback on news items Urban farming requires support To the Editor, Re: Urban agriculture can’t be held back, Letters, July 7. I understand the issue of Lantzville council versus Compassion Farm is a legal issue involving zoning bylaws that were set at a previous time and currently in place for protection of property values. What I don’t understand is that zoning is changed all the time and variances are approved all the time. These procedures can indeed be time consuming, but what is the harm in allowing things to continue as they are until these laws can be changed to reflect modern times and the will of the majority? I truly am puzzled and nearly speechless that someone would not want a farm next to them and would be bothered by a few piles of dirt, and that anyone would go to such a great extent to persecute a farmer when there may be a number of other options. How can Lantzville council act in good conscience in taking legal

action without truly knowing the will of the majority of the residents in Lantzville and the regional district? Aren’t elected officials supposed to be serving the will of the majority of the community they are elected by? Or is this a case of council thinking it already knows the will of the majority? Laws need to be constantly updated to reflect the changing times. When zoning laws were first put on the books, humans in North America were living in the dream world of unlimited resources. It became a status symbol to live in the suburbs. Times have changed. Now, unless you work close to where you live in the suburbs or have your own home-based business, driving to work contributes to the decline of our planet. Mainstream food production has been centralized and industrialized, requiring huge investments in gas-guzzling machinery, and huge inputs of fertilizers and chemical pesticides, as well as non-renewable oil to produce these fertilizers and pesticides, never

extensive research, they concluded that small farms and agro-ecology are the only ways we can continue to survive and feed the planet. While everyone cannot adjust their life overnight to acknowledge these realities, people in good conscience should be attempting to change laws to harmonize with these new planetary realizations and encourage, not prosecute, tax-paying citizens who are aware of the implications of limited global resources.

The NanaimoLadysmith School District was one of six districts chosen to be audited in special education this year. It has not been audited in this category since 2002.

South Island police officers plan 1,000-kilometre trek traversing the Island Erin McCracken Black Press

ith only one chance to make every kilometre count, four South Island police officers have their bicycle pedals primed to make a difference. Victoria Police Department constables Alvin Deo and Mike Massine, Oak Bay reserve constable Jarrod Christison and Cpl. Mary Brigham, a CFB Esquimalt military police officer, will be among 22 police and media riders in this year’s Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock fundraiser. Participants can only take part in the event once, which is why these four Special feature officers are striving to Black Press raise $75,000 for the newspapers on event. Vancouver Island Every year the tour will publish this generates more than special feature page $1 million for pediatric spotlighting police cancer research and officers taking part in Camp Goodtimes this year’s Canadian in Maple Ridge, a Cancer Society medically supported Cops for Cancer summer camp for Tour de Rock. kids with cancer and survivors of the disease. Christison, who is looking to raise $30,000, recalls when past riders stopped at his school. “Seeing them do the tour, I always looked up to that,” he said. “I also think it’s the ultimate form of volunteerism.” The 1,000-kilometre, 14-day journey from Port Alice to Victoria will be physically and emotionally demanding. The cyclists will meet children with cancer and people wanting to donate. Brigham is planning to shave her head during the ride to show solidarity with young cancer patients who have lost their hair through treatment. “It’s going to be emotional,” the military police officer said of the journey her team has been preparing for since March. “Regardless of all the training we’re doing, it doesn’t compare to what these (kids) are going through with their chemotherapy and recovering,” said Brigham, whose goal is to raise $5,000.

The 22-member Tour de Rock team is preparing to ride in support of pediatric cancer research and a summer camp for kids whose lives have been touched by the disease. Among those riding are Oak Bay reserve Const. Jarrod Christison, left, Victoria police constables Mike Massine and Alvin Deo, and CFB Esquimalt military police officer Cpl. Mary Brigham. “It’ll be a real mix of emotions,” said VicPD’s Massine of the upcoming ride. “I’m not above crying.” Massine’s desire to participate dates back to 1998 when he was a Saanich cop and his police colleague Const. Martin Pepper initiated the first Tour de Rock. Massine is also inspired by his 19-year-old stepdaughter who has a rare syndrome for which she requires constant care. “It’s opened my eyes to the needs parents have when they do have kids who are sick in one way or another,” said Massine, who hopes to fund raise $25,000. It was only natural for Deo to help kids

in need since, as a youth investigator, he spends most of his day doing just that. He is also a father to three young children. “I have kids of my own and just the thought of them suffering from cancer is pretty terrifying,” said Deo, who aspires to raise $15,000. “Realizing there are other families out there that are going through this right now, I just wanted to do whatever I could to help out.” Tour de Rock happens Sept. 24 to Oct. 7. To donate, please call 250-592-2244 or visit www.cancer.ca, select your province and click the Vancouver Island Tour de Rock link.

ON TOUR: This year’s Tour de Rock begins in Port Alice on Saturday, Sept. 24 and ends Friday, Oct. 7 in Victoria. Tour de Rock raises funds and awareness for pediatric cancer research and programs.

Families of loved ones receiving emergency care at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital will have a quiet place to be together thanks in part to the generosity of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The Black Diamond Lodge No. 5, of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows donated $50,400 to the Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation. The gift will provide furniture for the family quiet room in the new emergency department as well as a new vital sign monitor used on every patient that seeks assistance in emergency. Sandra MacKinnon, secretary of Lodge No. 5, said the donation for furniture in the quiet room is important because people need a place to go when grieving or anxiously awaiting news about a family member. “It’s very hard to be in the hallway crying with all the hustle and bustle going on around you,” she said. “Having a place that is quiet where you can go and rest is important

rather than be huddled in a hallway.” M a e ve O ’ B y r n e, Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation president, said the donation demonstrates the continued support the foundation receives from community groups and what a small group of people can do to help their community. “It’s a real leadership gift to us. It’s really a tribute to the relationship between the Odd Fellows and the foundation over the years,” she said. The Odd Fellows began in the 19th century when a network of English citizens began to work together to help those in need, without expectation for themselves. During that time the service club has grown into an international association with “fraternities” in 26 countries. T he Inde pendent Order’s Black Diamond Lodge No. 5 has been actively serving Nanaimo residents since 1874. The hospital foundation has pledged $4 million to purchase essential equipment for the $36.9 million expansion of the ER department scheduled to open in June 2012.

Bed-wetting is a source of distress both for DR. KARIN MATTERN parents and for the child who is affected by it. While bed-wetting problems are usually “outgrown” in a few years, some cases persist into the teen years and even into adulthood. One contributing factor in many cases is spinal dysfunction, causing irritation of the nerves to the bladder and the urinary sphincter. Often, spinal adjustments can decrease the number of incidents or eliminate the problem altogether. If your child has a problem with bladder control, consult your chiropractor to determine whether you may be able to simply and effectively eliminate a major source of distress for yourself and for your child. For more information call our ofﬁce at 250-758-7022 or email drkarin@shaw.ca

Some people do have difficulties wearing metal partials. Finally, we have a high performance non-metal flexible partial denture you can wear in comfort. It is twenty times stronger than plastic. It is safer than metal and even looks better - no more metal clasps around the natural teeth. These extremely lightweight, flexible partials have been clinically proven over the past ten years to be biocompatable. They are non-allergenic and non-toxic. They provide optimum stability and long wear resistance. Let us show you how trouble-free properly constructed flexible partial frameworks can and should be. You will love the difference.

Can chiropractors do anything for bedwetting?

Insomnia is defined as difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep and affects 30-50% of the North American population. It is a symptom that DR. KAREN L. FRASER is experienced by all age groups, but tends to increase with age. Why is insomnia a concern? Adequate restful sleep is required to allow our mind and body time to repair and regenerate from the day’s activities. In addressing insomnia it is important to explore the underlying causes such as sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, poor bladder control, cortisol/melatonin disruptions, stress, anxiety, depression or pain disorders. Other factors such as shift work, eating late at night, caffeine, alcohol, or medications may also contribute to sleep disturbance. Journaling or writing a to-do list before going to bed can help relieve excessive thinking that may occur at night. Regular exercise helps promote healthy sleep patterns. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine, which can all cause sleep disturbances. A variety of supplements and herbs can be useful to promote healthy restful sleep including: melatonin, magnesium, chamomile, passionflower, oat, lemon balm, and valerian. These interventions can be helpful when appropriate to reduce anxiety and promote a relaxed state required for sleeping. Naturopathic consults are covered by most extended health care plans.

What can I do to help my insomnia?

denturist

The short answer is YES! The long answer is without knowing exactly what your current mortgage details are I can’t give you a KRISTA HENLEY & concrete answer but here is an example using average numbers. SHARON FAUCHON I suggest you call us at 250-758-1200 to speak briefly and we will tell you if it’s worth considering refinancing. Let’s say you have a mortgage balance of $330,000 and your current rate is fixed 5.89% that makes your monthly payment approximately $1940 or if its 4.89% then $1740 per month. At our rates your payment would be $1240 per month!!!!! That is a savings of $700 per month!!!!! What would you do with an extra $700 every month? New car? Vacation? Home renovations? Savings account? RRSP’s? We want this for you and have already saved thousands of people thousands of dollars. Call for a quick and easy conversation and we will let you know what we can do for you right on the spot! If it’s not during business hours right now then shoot us a quick email at sharonfauchon@ invis.ca or kristahenley@invis.ca and we will respond to you tomorrow! Just like that! If your prepayment penalty is $3,000 then it will take you 4.2 months saving $700 per month to pay that back and then everything beyond that for your 5 year term is gravy. If its $10,000 then 14.2 months to pay it back then for the last 4 years, you are saving! What we are saying is…… no matter our prepayment penalty it is still worth it and with the lowest rates in the city, we have preferred rates and service at most lenders and banks for our high volume with them, we are the right choice to help you navigate a better mortgage than you have right now. Call us to start saving hundreds even thousands of dollars by your next mortgage payment!

bedroom furniture I just pulled out the camper for our ﬁrst camping trip and there is mould on the cushions. JOHN ROGERS What can I do to clean them? Unfortunately this question comes up a lot, the answer is not much. You can take the foam out of the covers and wash them gently in warm or cold water. The foam can only be dried out, and lightly sponged off and/or vacuumed. Don’t try to wash the foam! If you can’t get them clean enough it’s time to replace the foam. If the cushions are more than a few years old it’s probably time for new foam anyway. We can replace your foam usually within 24 hours and if your covers are damaged beyond repair we do upholstery too. www.johnsbedrooms.com

I’m a 70 year old man and am currently in a 20 year relationship with a supportive partner. This is my second marriage. I had two children in the earlier relationship and one of the boys died on a car accident when JANE WAGNER he was 18 (25 years ago). Lately I’ve been thinking more about this and regretting and wishing that I could have been a better parent to him. As well, I’ve had a health care scare but am ok now. I feel like I’m under a cloud and can’t seem to shake it. Although my wife says she understands and is supportive most of the time when I want to talk about this stuff she shuts me down. I feel lonely and not understood. I don’t know why this is happening to me. It may be that you’re grieving the loss of your son and sometimes grief that is in the past comes back when there are other things going on in our lives related to death and dying or if there are triggers such as important anniversaries. In your case you are getting older and a health scare may be a factor. Your current partner doesn’t understand this as it is not part of her history with you. I would encourage you to get relationship counselling that can explain to her how lonely you feel with this grief. Since your wife is supportive in most areas of your relationship she needs to know how much this means to you. Tell her.

First and foremost, ICBC does not offer coverage for replacement cost coverage for trailers of any make, model, or year. This is a very signiﬁcant disadvantage on a new trailer as they depreciate quite quickly. Take Aviva Elite for instance, they offer replacement cost coverage for trailers up to ten years old! This means that if you were to have an insured total loss they would actually replace your trailer, camper or 5th wheel with a brand new model of similar like, kind and quality where ICBC would pay the actual cash value of the trailer. For instance, if you were to buy a 2011 5th wheel, worth 25,000 dollars including tax, drive it off the lot and a week later it was to burn to the ground. ICBC could calculate that the vehicle has depreciated by $5,000 in that time and your payout could be $20,000. Now if you were to place coverage with Aviva, your payout would be the cost to replace your trailer with the exact same year, make, model and you would not lose that $5,000 dollars. As I’ve displayed there is a signiﬁcant advantage to insure with a private carrier for Collision & Comprehensive portion of your recreational vehicle insurance. You may pay a bit more for the private carrier’s insurance but it’s worth the piece of mind that you are well insured.

What steps must be taken in order for a bankrupt to be discharged?

A discharge from bankruptcy is necessary in order GARETH SLOCOMBE, CA, CIRP for a bankrupt to be released from his debts. For most bankrupts, the discharge is granted automatically and without a court hearing a number of months after the date of bankruptcy, as follows: • First time bankrupt with no surplus income 9 months • First time bankrupt with surplus income 21 months • Second time bankrupt with no surplus income 24 months • Second time bankrupt with surplus income 36 months A court hearing would be required in the following circumstances: • the bankrupt has not complied with all his duties; • there is an opposition to the discharge by either a creditor or the Trustee; • the bankrupt has more than $200,000 in income tax debt; or, • the individual has more than one previous bankruptcy. At a court discharge hearing, the court would consider whether to grant the discharge or to require certain conditions to be met, such as further time in bankruptcy or continued payments to the Trustee.

Be UV Wise Protect Your Eyes

Now that summer has ﬁnally DR. PAUL GENEAU arrived, we are enjoying more time out in the outdoors. As wonderful as it feels, the sunshine can be damaging. We need to protect our skin, but it is very important not to forget our eyes. Sunglasses make our outdoor activities safer and more enjoyable.

When we get some sunny hot weather a couple of rooms get too hot. Any suggestions?

IAN GARTSHORE

Yes! There are many, but depend on a number of factors such as the type of room(s), whether a view is important when the sun’s hot, what your budget might be, how pretty the solution has to be, and others. The best idea is to call for an inexpensive phone-consultation. For $25 - $50 you could save yourself hundreds of dollars, and a needlessly hot house.

What is a Comparative Market Analysis ?

If it’s done correctly, a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) or The Free Home Evaluation can be TIM WAIT the next best thing to an appraisal in approximating the value of a property. The purpose of the CMA is to analyze data from properties similar to the subject property that are currently on the market and have sold recently in order to project the realistic price at which the subject property would sell. I’m not an appraiser, but what I’ve always done is make upward and downward adjustments to the projected value of the subject property based on features and characteristics of the comparables. From my years of experience as a FULL SERVICE REALTOR I’ve developed some rules of thumb to make those adjustments. Putting a value on real estate is not an exact science, however my method of Analysis has worked pretty well for my numerous clients over the years. I use a completely different method for projecting the value of land and property with residential development potential. If you’re curious what your home may be worth in today’s market Call me at 713-1223 or email tim@timwait.com and I will let you know.

furniture Are there any beneﬁts to purchasing Canadian made furniture?

A popular question indeed! Canadian ROBERT BICHLBAUER manufacturers have standards that must be met. Water based adhesives may only be used. Fabric is not chemically treated. Quality control in most companies is exceptional. When product is manufactured overseas or in the United States, there is no guarantee that standards are met. Canadian manufacturers take pride in their product which gives the consumer the conﬁdence in knowing that the product they are buying is of quality. Another good question to ask: is the manufacturer an ISO company? This is International Organization for Standards; this organization insures that the company maintains consistency. Supporting Canadian manufacturers is a focus we keep at Uncle Sam’s Furniture allowing us to do our part in protecting our environment and encouraging the growth of our economy.

This is a hard month for me to write my Expert’s Advice. It is with sadness that I am wanting to let you know I am taking some time away from my practice to rest and heal and therefore will not be continuing this column for the CHIQUITA R. HESSELS foreseeable future. I’ve been in practice for the past 13 years in the Old City Quarter and for 8 of those years I have regularly written about what I do. What I know for sure is that I truly believe in all that I do in the Complementary Health field including Reflexology, Ear coning, Clavitherapy, Massage, Prayer, etc. Well it is time for me to fully put my beliefs to work as I’ve just joined the millions of women who have been diagnosed with “Breast Cancer”. Some of you know that my mom died 1 year ago this month from this beast. Well, I am looking at this as an opportunity to make change, find balance & trust I’m in the right place at the right time. I am travelling to Poland to be worked on by the Neurologist that trained me in Clavitherapy, and then upon my return will work with the dedicated specialists here on the Island. My cancer was diagnosed through my Mammogram but the Thermography scan I did at my Healing Centre showed some tell-tale signs. Remember to continue with your Scans/Mammograms for early detection, they do save lives! Mid Island Healing Centre will still remain open for service with the dedicated staff that you’ve gotten to know over the years: Julie: Massage, Ear coning & Reflexology. Ahmad: Acupuncture. Suzanne: Postural Reconstruction/ Physiotherapy. Elizabeth: Herbal therapy. Thank you for the many years of allowing me to support you in my practice. With love and health: Chiquita

If your mother has already been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and is unable to look after her own affairs, it is unlikely that she would have sufficient capacity to give instructions for a Power of Attorney. She may, however, have sufficient capacity to appoint a Representative through a Representation Agreement as the “test” for capacity is considerably different than for a Power of Attorney. If she is unwilling or unable to enter into a Representation Agreement, you may wish to obtain the advice of a solicitor with a view to obtaining “committeeship”, where the Court appoints someone to make personal, medical, legal, or financial decisions for someone who is mentally incapable and cannot make those decisions for themselves.

Rose Marie

Plecas

July 1927 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; July 2011 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Rose Marie Plecas. Rose died peacefully at Travellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lodge with her family by her side. Rose is predeceased by her husband Bob, her son Robert Jr., her brothers Sam, Bill and John and her sisters Anne, Mary and Betty. She is survived by her loving family Ron (Sharen) Plecas, Dan (Barb) Plecas, daughters Sharry (Dave) Curry, Lorilei (Bradley) Thompson, 13 grandchildren and 20 great grandchildren, sister Lil as well as many nieces and nephews. Rose was born in Birch River, Manitoba to Sam and Florence Bowman. Most of her childhood she enjoyed Chilliwack and Vancouver until she met the love of her life Bob and they married May 5, 1945. Bob and Rose moved to Nanaimo where they raised their 5 children. Rose spent her life dedicated to her family. If she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sewing, knitting, gardening or making doll houses, she was enjoying her love of sports and traveling. Bob and Roseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gardens won awards in the city of Nanaimo. Her grandchildren will forever cherish the dolls and wall hangings their Gramma made for them. Always a smile and a hug were yours to enjoy when you paid Rose a visit. Many thanks are extended to Dr. Baird for his kindness and care given to Rose and to the staff of Travellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lodge a big thank you! A family picnic will be held in the middle of August to celebrate Roseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. Sands ~ Nanaimo

It is with much love and sadness we announce the passing of our dear mother, grandmother, great grandmother and aunt. Edna lived all her life in Nanaimo and was just short of celebrating her 101 birthday. She is predeceased by her husband Ron in 2007 after 69 years of marriage, also by sisters Verna, Ella, and brother Harold. She is survived by son Ron (Sylvia), daughter Joann, grandchildren Pam (Ian McConnell), Kim (Dale Rasberry) and Brad (Nola) Dunn, great grandchildren Steven & Eric Rasberry, Janaya & Madison McConnell and recently baby Jack Dunn and many nieces and nephews. Edna of Finnish descent was born and raised in Chase River. After High School she entered St. Joseph School of Nursing in Victoria where she received her degree as a Registered Nurse. In 1938 she married the love of her life Ron and then took time off to start a family and look after the home while Ron was overseas for 3 years in WWII. She resumed her nursing career in 1952 ďŹ rst at the Old Nanaimo Hospital and then moving to the present Nanaimo Regional General Hospital where she retired in 1975. Following her retirement she continued working for a few years as Dr. Thomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nurse. She was a very caring efďŹ cient ďŹ nurse and patients under her care felt fortunate often expressing their gratitude. Over the years Ron and Edna enjoyed camping, travelling with the A.C.T. and visiting her sister Ella in Florida. Her biggest joy in life were her grandchildren and later her 5 great grandchildren. Edna always enjoyed family gatherings and putting on many delicious meals. She was an exceptional cook and many recipes have been passed on to the family and friends. In sincere appreciation the family wishes to acknowledge the following: A very special thank you to Elaine and Jackie whose companionship, kindness and gentle loving attention gave Mom much comfort. We are deeply grateful to Dr. Baird who looked after Mom for so many years with interest and compassion. Also to the nurses and staff at Kiwanis Lodge for their kindness and respectful care over the last 4 years. There will be no service. A private family gathering will take place at a later date. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers ďŹ&#x201A; donations may be made in Ednaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital or a charity of your choice.

Rest in peace Mom till we meet again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Forever in our heartsâ&#x20AC;?

Coastal T-men to host Thunder

NANAIMO SWEPT by Victoria two games to none in Round 1.

The senior A Nanaimo Timbermen will be looking to climb above .500 tonight (July 16) as they prepare to host the Langley Thunder. The Coastal Windows Timbermen (5-5-2) lacrosse team will be without starting goalie Matt King, who is taking a leave from the team to honeymoon. Zack Boychuk will start tonight; Ray Hodgkinson will be the backup. “I’m very confident in both of them to do the job,” said Art Webster, coach of the T-men. The Timbermen and Thunder are slated to face off at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena. Nanaimo visits the Maple Ridge Burrards (5-9) on Sunday.

BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

The Nanaimo Timber men wanted badly to win this Island rivalry series. The problem was, the Victoria Shamrocks wanted it even more. The ’Rocks defeated the T-men 14-8 on Thursday at the Nanaimo Ice Centre to sweep the firstround B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League series two games to none. “I wouldn’t say they outplayed us by a lot,” said Glenn Foley, captain of the Timbermen. “They just wanted it more, up and down the floor. That was the deciding factor.” The Shamrocks, as they had done in Game 1, stormed to an early lead and built a 6-2 lead through 20 minutes. Nanaimo finally got its offence going in the third period but it was too late. “We might have got outworked but there’s no denying we never quit,” said Timbermen veteran Cody Bremner. “That’s the way we played all year – we weren’t the most skilled team but we never did quit.” The first-round matchup proved too tough, but the T-men didn’t think they brought the wrong game plan. Coach Dave Bremner said his team stuck to its transition style, but got stymied by Victoria’s netminder and got frustrated early in games. It allowed the Shamrocks to set the pace instead. “They did a good job in dictating to us how the game was going to go,” Dave Bremner said.

Nanaimo Timbermen junior A lacrosse player Paul Brebber gets past the check of Victoria Shamrocks opponent Ben Stebbins during Thursday’s B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League playoff game at the Nanaimo Ice Centre.

“That’s what you’ve got to do as a team and that’s what they did to us. “I’ve got to give them credit. They’re a good team … and they worked hard.” Timbermen transition player Paul Brebber made a surprise return to the lineup for Game 2 and scored four goals and added an assist. Ethan Garland scored two goals, Foley had a goal and two assists and Matt Messenger had Nanaimo’s other marker. Devon Winter suffered the loss

in goal as his team outshot the opposition 44-43. Cody Bremner, who had three assists in his final junior game, said the future is bright for the Timbermen franchise but felt the team underachieved in 2011. “There were times when we’d play three games in a row, four games in a row, amazing lacrosse. We’d get that hope,” he said. “Maybe we should have done better than what we ended up with.” The team’s fifth-place finish in

the BCJALL standings was the best in club history, and the team certainly battled adversity to get to the post-season. “It’s a roller coaster ride. That’s what our team went through this year,” Foley said. “Stuff happens. Injuries, changes. We played the best we could.” LACROSSE TALK … Graduating juniors this year are Cody Bremner, Kyle Hofer, Ryan Sage, Joey Fendick, Jake Ryan, Asahel Beaudet and Devon Winter. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Prospects will learn to dunk one day With all the focus on hockey playoffs during recent weeks, the season ending for another popular sport got pushed to the background. So it’s off the ice and onto the hardwood this week as we catch up on news from the world of basketball… At the professional level, the conclusion of the NBA season took a back seat in this part of the world to NHL playoffs. But hoops fans will know that the Dallas Mavericks won their first NBA title by downing the Miami Heat 10595 in Game 6 of the final. It was a huge upset for the Mavs, who were very much the underdogs against a powerful Heat team that included LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. As so often happens in sport, though, team chemistry overcame individual stars and as a result MVP Dirk Nowitzki and

the other Mavs were able to savour sweet revenge for a loss to Miami in the 2006 finals. Following the playoffs, the NBA entry draft saw the Cleveland Cavaliers use the first pick overall to select Duke point guard Kyrie Irving. The Cavs also had fourth pick and there took Canadian Tristan Thompson from the University of Texas. Thompson, a talented forward, becomes the highest Canadian draft pick over the past 50 years. In case you’re wondering, when Victoria’s Steve Nash was selected by the Phoenix Suns back in 1996, he was the 15th pick overall. Locally, there were two separate leagues this year for bantam (born 1997-98) boys’ basketball teams in Nanaimo elementary schools. In the division for smaller schools with less than 275 students, Shaun

Pirates leap into first place

LANGLEY BLAZE docked wins for using ineligible players in 17 games.

The Nanaimo Pirates suddenly find themselves in first place. The Hub City Paving Pirates (31-13) are now the frontrunners for the pennant after the Langley Blaze were docked a dozen wins by the B.C. Premier Baseball League this week. The Blaze dropped from first place to sixth as the result of a protest filed by the Coquitlam Reds in late June. The Reds protested that the Blaze had used ineligible players in the form of junior players who played in excess of 10 games at the premier level. League rules state that juniors may

play a maximum of nine games at the premier level and any games after that require them to have a permanent roster spot on the team’s BCPBL roster. “If a junior player plays more than 10 games, he is a senior player, you have just hidden them (on the junior roster),” said Ted Hotzak, league president. “Some of the rules might seem picky and trivial, but at some point in time, someone stretched it.” The Blaze’s record was amended for a 17-game span, in which they went 12-5. Langley appealed the decision but Coquitlam’s protest was upheld. GAME ON … The Pirates host the White Rock Tritons today (July 16) at noon and 2:30 p.m. at Serauxmen Stadium. On Sunday the Pirates visit the North Shore Twins. -with files from Gary Ahuja and Larry Pruner
