Ruttan faces challengers for Nanaimo mayor’s office BY TOBY GORMAN THE NEWS BULLETIN

Crowds ‘occupy’ downtown plaza BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN

o single message could encapsulate the wants of the large crowd that gathered Saturday in Diana Krall Plaza as part of Occupy Nanaimo. Nearly 500 people gathered to stand in unison to speak out against perceived injustices in society. Youth stood shoulder to shoulder with grandmothers. Each person had their own reason for attending the occupation in the

plaza – corporate greed, inequity, poverty, homelessness, the segregation of the poor, smart meters and more. But nearly everyone attending had the same passion and desire to have their voice heard and have it shape the future of politics and the course of their country. The movement that began as Occupy Wall Street has spread across the globe and on Saturday it hit Nanaimo. Gathered participants chanted “we are the 99 per cent” as others took to the impromptu podium, a park picnic table, to share their concerns.

For Sandra Brydges, who had only attended one other protest in her life, the Occupy movement struck a chord within her. “We have three kids and they are struggling. It’s plain greed and I don’t like it,” said Brydges, with tears falling down her cheeks. She said the world’s wealth is controlled by a select few and even though one of her sons has a good job in Vancouver, he is struggling to survive because of the expenses of living. ◆ See ‘PROTEST’ /10

Game on. Four people have filed nomination papers to run for the position of mayor in the upcoming municipal election in November, including incumbent John Ruttan, who is seeking his second term at the helm. Local developers Jim Routledge and Roger McKinnon, as well as Dan Di Dio, are also competing for the position of Nanaimo’s top civic politician. Ruttan, 72, who said he anguished over the summer months trying to decide whether to run again or not, ultimately decided that the projects he initiated in his first term were too important to walk away from. “I came with two primary projects in mind and I was very anxious to see a fast ferry established and a conference centre hotel built and that’s the reason I need three more years,” Ruttan said shortly after announcing he was seeking his second term. One key project Ruttan has launched while in office was the establishment of the Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation, an organization that will operate at arm’s length from city hall in an effort to reduce the tax burden on Nanaimo citizens by generating its own revenue. ◆ See ‘THREE’ /5

New coalition aims to push province to scrap smart meters

GROUP HOPES to use B.C. recall legislation. BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN

Smart meter opponents are hoping to create a movement similar to the HST recall to force the government to scrap the program. Walter McGinnis, a spokesman for the Coalition to Stop Smart Meters, spoke at the Unitarian Fellowship Hall Wednesday, after the screening of Full Signal, about the group’s aim of launching a plan under the B.C. Recall and Initiative Act to stop the mandatory installation of the meters. The coalition recently for med and McGinnis said the group eventually wants to apply for society status. “The central idea is these B.C. Hydro smart meters have to go completely,” said McGinnis. The group launched the website www.stopsmartmetersbc.ca and hopes to get people to pre-register for the movement before it officially begins the recall petition to get an idea of support. A contentious issue around smart meters is the lack of consultation with the public and that people can’t refuse to have the technology installed in their homes, said McGinnis. Other concerns include adverse health effects from electromagnetic radiation, privacy and security issues, environmental impacts and job losses for meter readers. The Stop Smart Meters group launches their preregistration campaign in late October.

Great British Columbia Shakeout takes place Thursday (Oct. 20)

City readies for big shaker BY CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN

anaimo is about to shake, rattle and roll to the sounds of a simulated earth tremor. With a big earthquake certain to strike Vancouver Island sooner or later, the city will emphasize the need to be prepared with another city-wide earth quake drill. Nanaimo won’t be alone. The Great British Columbia ShakeOut happens Thursday (Oct. 20) at 10:20 a.m. California, Nevada, Idaho, Oregon, plus other states in the central U.S., Guam and New Zealand will carry out drills at the same time, making this the largest international emergency preparedness drill to date. Nanaimo’s last major earthquake drill was carried out Jan. 25. “From now on, every year, it will always fall on the third Thursday of October and be co-ordinated with these different states and countries,” said Karen Lindsay, Nanaimo emergency service coordinator. “Part of the reason we

wanted to do it a second time in a year is – given the level of excitement and enthusiasm that was shown in the first drill – we wanted to keep the momentum going and by waiting a full year until next October we may lose some of that momentum.” Nanaimo was rated among municipalities with the highest participation in the last drill. During the drill, participants will be taught to follow the internationally recognized drop, cover and hold on safety procedure by finding cover under desks and tables and holding on to something until the shaking stops. Radio stations 102.3 The Wave and 106.9 The Wolf will broadcast simulated earthquake recordings along with instructions on how to conduct an earthquake drill. “So you drop, cover and hold on during the shaking and then once the shaking stops you count to 60 and evacuate your building if it’s possible,” Lindsay said. “If that’s not feasible then we’re hoping at meetings, or with their family members at home, people will talk

about earthquake preparedness and emergency preparedness in general, so it’s an education and awareness campaign.” Lindsay said families need to be prepared to survive on their own for at least three days, but preferably for seven days, before emergency services can assist them following a major quake. “It’s just like going camping for a week,” Lindsay said. “We want people to be prepared for a minimum of 72 hours, but realistically we’re looking at seven days where people can expect to be on their own or not have access to resources.” The city has also designated four emergency reception centres for families who cannot remain in their homes after a quake and need food, shelter and water. Those centres are Oliver Woods Community Centre, Bowen Park Complex, Beban Park Social Centre and Nanaimo Aquatic Centre.

Christel Martin, a Nanaimo representative for Citizens for Safe Technology, said she’s pleased with the initiative. Martin, who has electrical hypersensitivity, says the public should have been consulted. Ted Olynyk, B.C. Hydro manager of community relations for Vancouver Island, said smart meter installations will continue. “Smart meters are an excellent tool to help people with their electric bill and provide more information to customers to help them in turn be able to conserve electricity,” said Olynyk. Customers could conserve as much as 15 per cent by using the information provided to find efficiencies in their homes, he said. British Columbians enjoy the third-lowest rates for electricity in North America and the province is one of the largest consumers of electricity in the world, he added. B.C. Hydro says signals emitted from a smart meter over its 20-year lifespan equals a single 30-minute cellphone call and information transmitted uses the same data encryption as online banking systems. The technology allows smart meters to provide automated notification of power outages to areas and more accurately measure power consumption in homes. Consumers with smart meters will be able to track their electricity usage in the spring of 2012 by logging into an online account. Installations of smart meters began in July and are estimated to reach all customers by December 2012.

Teachers unhappy with judge’s decision SUPREME COURT refuses to clarify spring ruling on provincial class-size legislation.

BY JENN McGARRIGLE THE NEWS BULLETIN

The Nanaimo teachers’ union is unhappy a Supreme Court judge decided not to clarify a ruling made last April that found provincial

legislation violated teachers’ rights. Last spring, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin ruled that parts of the 2002 legislation that removed certain working and learning

conditions clauses, such as limits on class size and the number of special needs students in each class, violated teachers’ rights to freedom of association under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and were unconstitutional and invalid. She gave the province a year to remedy the situation.

Notice of Public Open House Session Moorecroft Regional Park Management Plan The Regional District of Nanaimo, Recreation and Parks Department, is currently developing a management plan for Moorecroft Regional Park. Residents of the Regional District of Nanaimo are invited to attend the first Public Open House Session to share ideas and help shape the future of Moorecroft Regional Park.

Saturday, October 22, 2011 12:00pm - 4:00pm Kennedy Lodge (in the park) 1563 Stewart Rd Nanoose Bay For information, please contact Kelsey Cramer, RDN Park Planner at moorecroft@rdn.bc.ca or 1-888-828-2069.

TIRED OF WAITING FOR

ENERGY REBATES?

This week, Griffin refused the B.C. Teachers’ Federation’s request that she provide further clarification of her April decision. Derek DeGear, president of the Nanaimo District Teachers’ Association, said the union and the province have different inter pretations of Griffin’s ruling and the union had hoped for a clearer understanding of the ruling this week so that this difference could be rectified. “What I read clearly is there was no reason to remove [the working conditions] from the contract, you have a year to put it back in,” he said. “The government feels they just need new, improved legislation.” T he province is offering to create a class organization fund, worth $165 million over the next three years, which would target classrooms with the highest needs and could be used to provide extra teaching staff or education assistants. DeGear said the B.C. Teachers’ Federation will continue asking the province to put the limits back into teacher contracts because the union is seeking guaranteed support for all children rather than a fund that could see schools competing

against each other for limited resources. “We are going back to the table to see where we can get,” he said. Sharon Welch, school board chairwoman, said the outcome of this situation is a matter that greatly concerns trustees because once a decision is made, it will likely have major impacts for the district. Nanaimo trustees have written to the Education Ministry asking that if class sizes are reduced, districts are given additional funding to implement these changes, she said. “We don’ t know what’s going to happen and we need to wait and see how it all pans out,” said Welch. Education Minister George Abbott said the province is pleased with Griffin’s prompt decision and with the BCTF’s decision to resume consultations with the province regarding a remedy to the legislation. “I believe we have a responsibility to B.C.’s parents, students, and teachers to resolve this issue in a timely fashion in order to move forward with our shared goal – to lift up what is already a great education system and make it exceptional,” said Abbott in an e-mailed response. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Three seek to upset incumbent ◆ From /1 He said the most challenging issue he has faced as mayor is supportive housing, which has caused controversy in neighbourhoods where a low barrier facility has been proposed. Routledge, owner and CEO of Nanaimo-based Routledge Homes, said his priority is to establish a footbridge to Newcastle Island as a way of generating economic development through improved local attractions. “Economic development is first and foremost in my mind,” said Routledge. “My economic development initiative is to build a bridge to Newcastle Island. I’ve been working on this for 25 years. In a nutshell, if you can attract the people the rest will take care of itself. If you can get people moving and over to the island efficiently, it will work. I almost got drummed out of town 25 years ago for thinking about this because it wasn’t its time. I feel better access is being demanded now.” Low-barrier housing, which Routledge supports, and growth and development, namely through Nanaimo’s new zoning bylaw, are other planks in his platform. Fellow developer McKinnon said he has helped many people over many years with their political campaigns and says it’s now his time to step up and contribute to the community. “For me it was the Vision Rally I attended last week,” said McKinnon. “I’ve been asked to run for the past 15 years and I haven’t and the rally inspired me. It asked if you’ve put your time in and I haven’t, I have from the background but nothing else, and I think this is my opportunity.” McKinnon said Nanaimo has been divided by three different teams – council, city staff and the public – over the years and he wants to see everybody moving in one united direction to improve Nanaimo. “If we can get all three together we can do a lot of things,” he said.

THE NEWS BULLETIN

It will be a race of two candidates in Lantzville’s municipal election. Incumbent Colin Haime will be challenged by Jack de Jong on several key issues, including the growing burden on Lantzville taxpayers, water supply concerns and the hot-button topic of urban farming on residential lots. Haime has had his hands full over the past year with urban agriculture trying to find a workable solution that will satisfy local urban gardeners who claim the residential zoning bylaw is archaic and needs an update, but he points out that the municipality has achieved many of its goals over the past eight years. “What we’ve done over the past eight years since we’ve incorporated is brought sewers to the community, we’ve got an agreement with regards to parkland in the foothills when and if anything ever gets subdivided up there, built the first section of the E&N Trail, and have continued to work on water supply, so in terms of the basic services that residents need we’ve continued to work on and achieve those,” said Haime, who is seeking his fourth consecutive term. De Jong has criticized council in the past for its growing burden to taxpayers through administration costs, saying that “every dollar spent for this activity is a dollar lost for infrastructure and maintenance work,” according to an open letter he sent to Haime in July after council voted to increase

Two-horse race for Lantzville mayor’s position

NANAIMO MAN accused faces three charges in incident.

Impaired- and dangerousdriving charges have been filed by the Crown against the driver of a Columbia Fuels tanker that flipped then fouled fish-bearing Goldstream River in April, court officials say. James Smith, 34, of Nanaimo is booked for his first appearance before a justice of the peace to answer three charges, laid under the Canadian Criminal Code, in Colwood’s Western Communities Courthouse Nov. 24. Count one against Smith involves care and control of a vehicle while impaired. Count two concerns care and control of a vehicle while driving with a blood-alcohol level of more than .08. The third count involves dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. The April 16 crash saw about 42,000 litres of gasoline, plus some 700 litres of diesel fuel, enter the river. The wreck, and initial fuel cleanup, caused traffic gridlock affecting hundreds of Malahat travellers. Investigators, including First Nations, are still studying shortand long-term damage to Goldstream’s fragile salmon run.

Nanaimo board and trustees Carol McNamee and Ron Dale have bowed out of the race. Former school trustee TerryLynn Saunders, who ran for a position on Nanaimo city council last election, is seeking a return to the education beat.

EDITORIAL

Courtroom TV needs process Like many politicians, Premier Christy Clark has never met a TV camera she didn’t like. She took her zeal for the lens to new levels when she suggested that television cameras should be allowed into courtrooms during the trials of those charged in the Stanley Cup riots. Clark said since they had no problem doing their crimes before the cameras, they would have no problem with their trials being in front of cameras, a statement that had some wondering if she hadn’t already convicted them before their day in court. Naturally, the New Democrats jumped on her suggestion. The party’s public safety critic called Riot TV a gimmick. The premier insisted her suggestion wasn’t a political stunt because opening up the courts is part of opening up government. That may be the case, but her suggestion is arbitrary. If courtrooms are to be open to television cameras, is this not a change that should be debated in the legislature and other public forums? Cameras in the courtroom would constitute a major shift in justice policy in this country. The United States has allowed them for decades. There are many who believe it’s been a good thing because it’s made the justice system accountable. Others believe the cameras bring an artificially high level of melodrama that subverts the justice process. Theoretical logic aside, there is also the financial cost such a system would impose on a government already strapped to pay for basics like health, education and enough judges to keep the court system moving. Prosecuting the rioters is a hot-button topic in these parts, and Clark recognizes that. But her suggestion smacks of attempting to endear herself to the electorate without carrying out the proper process to make the change.

The spotters must ensure they adhere to a specific search pattern extending either from the bottom of the plane outward, or downward from the top of the plane. A spotter’s eyes can become strained after an hour of scanning the ground but searches often go on for hours. Even a few minutes break could mean something vital is missed. Rescuers take the work seriously. Although they take the time to laugh and joke before they head off to the skies, they know that concentration is needed to get the job done. A flash of light or glimpse of colour could be an indication of an important object on the ground. It could be part of a plane or a wayward kayak from someone who was lost in the ocean. After hours of scanning the ground I become queasy. I never expected to be in the air as long as I was. I’m grateful for the opportunity to tag alone for the exercise. There are many people who want to help others and the association is an avenue for those with that calling. I would hate to be in the position where I was lost in the wilderness with my poor survival skills, but I hope that knowing that colour, flashes of light and other indicators can help a spotter find me in that situation. reporter3@nanaimobulletin.com

Rail line should be used better To the Editor, Now that our city owns part of the E&N Rail line (through the Island Corridor Foundation), we should elect a council that will make use of it. Rail is 50 to 75 per cent less energy intensive than road traffic. If we purchase an engine to pull a couple of cars hourly from the mall at Chase River to Woodgrove, we could remove at least four busses from the roads. If traffic increases, we can add more cars. Bus traffic can then concentrate on the east-west routes. We could even refurbish one of those old steam engines to make the route a tourist attraction. Our Nanaimo Young Professionals already have some experience in putting antique trains on the track profitably.

Nanaimo News Bulletin

Are we a welcoming, inclusive community? To the Editor, Re: Support, opposition emerge, Oct. 13. After reading some of the scary ads about supported housing on Uplands Drive, I was going to agree that this might not be the best location for housing meant to help people. It’s awfully near Dover Bay Secondary School, with its history of tragic auto accidents involving some students and substance abuse.

And we have no idea about the criminal history of the people who already live here, because they aren’t even required to have a criminal background check before they move in. It’s a pretty nice neighbourhood. We like to think we are the more successful, better educated, more fortunate members of our city. So why can’t we demonstrate that success and education make us more welcoming? I lived and worked in a small

town during the de-institutionalization of people with developmental disabilities. When they first moved into group homes and apartments, many neighbours were fearfully preparing for the worst. Before long, things turned around and the town’s residents began to take pride that our little community overcame its fears and made these people welcome as neighbours and co-workers. The town took real pride in

being a welcoming, inclusive place with room for all kinds of folks, including those who faced challenges the rest of us, more fortunate, may never know. Which kind of community are we? One ruled by its fears, or one with courage and pride that the quality of our neighbourhoods can be extended to others, newcomers, in the good spirit of a warm human welcome? Paul Glassen Nanaimo

Readers respond: Feedback on news items Answers needed on smart meters To the Editor, We don’t know, with any certainty, if smart meters will cause health problems. We do know that B.C. Hydro (with our provincial government’s blessing), will install them on our homes. So, if B.C. Hydro is completely convinced that no harm will come to us, then they won’t have any problem obtaining insurance. When a B.C. Hydro installer shows me a medical liability insurance policy, they can then go ahead and install the new smart meter. My home insurance does not cover occupants for possible side effects of electronic equipment. Until I see that insurance, I will have to say no thank you. Sue Oakley Nanaimo

Social housing site not suitable To the Editor, Re: Support, opposition emerge, Oct. 13. Jim Routledge, the latest champion for the proposed supportive housing development in Uplands, is not merely a citizen who “took it upon himself to learn more about sup-

portive housing.” He was instrumental in changing the city’s zoning bylaws and he also hopes to become Nanaimo’s next mayor. It seems Routledge, a developer and a builder, has much to gain from the construction of this proposed project. The concerns of Fred Kardel, who lives within one kilometre of this illconceived project, are far more relevant. The safety of the elderly and young children is more important than a housing facility that is unsuitable for those who will eventually live there. They need to be near facilities that cater to their needs, something that isn’t currently available in the north end. Cathy Kotzé Nanaimo

Long way to go yet in equality fight To the Editor, Today (Oct. 18) is Persons Day in Canada. On Oct. 18, 1929, the British Privy Council made a decision that resulted in Canadian women becoming “persons” under the law. We can thank five very persistent women from Alberta – Emily Murphy, Nellie McClung, Louise McKinney, Irene Parlby, and Henrietta Edwards

Speak up! You can comment on any story @ www.nanaimobulletin.com

– better known as the Famous Five, for taking their case forward to the Supreme Court of Canada which found against them, and finally to the British Privy Council where they won. It was a landmark case. Over the past 81 years, there have been many gains for women in society generally and in the working world. However, there is still much to do to achieve pay equity, greater representation at all levels of politics, and full participation of disadvantaged women in all facets of society. We should all celebrate Persons Day, but not rest on any laurels just yet. Susan Murphy Canadian Federation of University Women Nanaimo

Sunrisers Kiwanis Club active in city To the Editor, Re: Kiwanis Club dissolves, Oct. 4. Recent news items and ads in the Nanaimo

papers may lead people to think that the Kiwanis Club is no longer represented in Nanaimo. Since 1984 the Kiwanis Club of Nanaimo Sunrisers has proudly carried on the Kiwanis tradition of community service in the Nanaimo area and will continue to do so. Two of our more visible activities are the sponsoring of the annual Bullhead Derby in August and the Christmas Party for Special Needs Children in November. In addition we contribute up to $15,000 annually to community associations. Our membership is growing and new members are always welcome. Contact www.kiwanis. org./club/sunrisers or email nanaimo.sunrisers@yahoo.ca. R. Davison Nanaimo

Kiwanis Village remains operating To the Editor, Re: Kiwanis Club dissolves, Oct. 4. Nanaimo Kiwanis Club has announced that it is folding, and in spite of clarity on its part, the result has been a number of calls and expressions of concern in the demise of Nanaimo Kiwanis Village which is not

affected. Nanaimo Kiwanis Village is operated under the Nanaimo District Senior Citizens’ Housing Development Society which was registered in 1957 and governed under the B.C. Societies Act. The society and its board expressed its thanks to the Nanaimo Kiwanis Club for its long standing support and commitment to the development of accommodation, programs and services at the village. The society’s board has had continuous responsibility for overseeing village operations since 1957 and takes this opportunity to provide assurances that it will continue management and ownership of the village. Residents, families and concerned citizens can be assured that the dissolution of the Nanaimo Kiwanis Club will not impact Kiwanis Village day-to-day operations. We continue to strive in our mission to providing a village of affordable housing, security and care options that foster pride and dignity for our community.

Costumed bowlers help kids Vampires, princesses and superheroes take to the bowling lanes Saturday (Oct. 22) in support of Kids Help Phone. People in more than 50 communities across B.C. will be in Halloween costumes to participate in the 20th annual BMO Boolathon. The Nanaimo fundraiser takes place at Splitsville Entertainment, 171 Calder Rd. from 5:307:30 p.m. Kids Help Phone is a national organization that relies almost exclusively on the financial support of corporations, foundations and individuals to ensure every child reaching out for help receives the support they seek. Anyone interested can register or donate at www.boolathon.ca.

In a continued effort to encourage higher rates of recovery, BCUOMA has built a strong support network across the province. Today, participation includes 207 brand-owner members, 37 collectors and processors, 480+ return collection facilities and more than 4,000 generators. In addition, BCUOMA is reprising its successful ambassador program this summer – with two ambassadors touring the province to educate and raise awareness of the importance of used oil and antifreeze recycling.

Although it’s commonly accepted that oil and antifreeze are not household garbage we can simply throw out, more than 1.3 million litres of used oil ends up in BC landfills every year. When you consider that it only takes one drop of oil to contaminate a million drops of water, the problem is clear: there’s just too many drops to count, too many to ignore. BCUOMA is a non-for-profit organization that encourages British Columbians to responsibly recycle used oil, oil filters, oil containers, used antifreeze and antifreeze containers. Since the launch of the program in 2003, British Columbians have done an exceptional job of recycling their used oil materials.

Nanaimo News Bulletin

By recycling your used oil products, you’re playing an important role in preserving our environment for future generations. BCUOMA is happy to announce that antifreeze and antifreeze containers will now be included within the broader recycling program. From the 12 million litres of automotive antifreeze sold in BC each year, about 45% will be available for collection and recycling. Please check for a collection facility near you.

For anyone who loves to decorate during the holidays, organizers of the Vancouver Island University Festival of Trees have the perfect volunteer opportunity for you. Amber Harris, owner of JBD Design Group, is looking for volunteers to assist with decorating 20 Christmas trees which will be on display for this year’s festival. No experience is necessary as Harris shares her decorating tips and tricks with the volunteers. “It’s a fun experience for the

volunteers and a great way to get into the holiday spirit,” said Harris. The decorating takes place at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre every Tuesday and Thursday from 6-9 p.m. For more information, please call Renee Bohun at 250-740-6258 or e-mail or renee.bohun@viu.ca. The 17th Annual Festival of Trees takes place at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre Nov. 14 to Dec. 2.

Vancouver Island leads the list of top five Islands in Canada in the Condé Nast Traveler 2011 Readers’ Choice Awards. Dave Petryk, president/CEO of Tourism Vancouver Island said the No. 1 ranking is terrific news, especially during challenging times for the industry. “It helps to restore our confidence that visitors continue to desire the Vancouver Island region,” he said. Other islands on the list include Prince Edward Island, Cape Breton Island, the Gulf Islands and Newfoundland.

Undergoes HUGE EXPANSION!

Lots of new equipment in the strength training room.

Jon on the TRX Body Weight Suspension System.

A new facility offering unique, innovative equipment to help people reach their ﬁtness and athletic goals is now open in Nanaimo. Full On Fitness Inc. – formerly a private facility offering one-on-one training, team training or boot camp courses – is now open to the public as a workout centre. The boot camp courses and training are still available, as well as new classes, including spin, Zumba, yoga and cardio kickboxing. Owner Jon Wengel said the gym has everything people need, from traditional workout machines to unique, modern equipment like ropes, kettlebells and slideboards. “If you’re looking for something different and you’re serious about results, then this is where you should be,” he said. “We’re kind of like the Caramilk secret – nobody really knows about us other than the teams and people who have taken our boot camps.” Wengel has doubled the size of his facility to 6,800 sq. ft. by taking over the other half of the building on Boxwood Road. The renovations include a new, 1,000-squarefoot studio for yoga, zumba

and spin. Some of the unique equipment his gym offers that people likely won’t find anywhere else in Nanaimo include a TRX Suspension Training system, slideboards, a king cage and Jacob’s ladder. Many of these modern fitness tools focus on working stabilizer muscles as well as large muscle groups, said Wengel. “I think core stability is the biggest thing,” he said. “All your power for all your sports comes from this.” Wengel, who has played different sports all his life and loves exercising outdoors, still trains teams at the centre, including the V.I. Raiders junior football team, Vancouver Island University’s women’s volleyball team and Nanaimo Nemesis roller derby team. He’s committed to helping people keep fit and active. “We’re serious about what we do here and we’re finally offering it up to the public,” said Wengel. For more information, please go to www. fullonfitness.com or call Wengel at 250-753-3900.

Flu shot clinics available

SPONSORED BY NANAIMO RCMP &NANAIMO MEN’S RESOURCE CENTRE

The Vancouver Island Health Authority wants the public to consider protecting themselves, their families and those they come in contact with by getting a flu shot this season. “With the flu season already upon us, we want to remind everyone about the importance of getting immunized,” said Dr. Murray Fyfe, VIHA’s medical health officer. “It is the easiest thing you can do to protect yourself and your loved ones from getting the flu. The flu can also lead to other infections including viral or bacterial pneumonia which affect the lungs.” The vaccine includes protection from H1N1 as well as two other strains. “The vaccine is the same as last year’s, however, immunity does not last which is why getting an annual flu shot is so important,” said Fyfe. “The earlier you get your shot in the flu season, the sooner you will be protected throughout the season.” Starting in mid-October, VIHA is providing public flu immunization clinics in communities across the Island to the following groups who are eligible for free flu shots: ◆ People 65 years of age and over and their caregivers. ◆ Children and adults with chronic

health conditions and their household contacts. ◆ Health-care workers and emergency responders. ◆ Healthy children ages six months to 23 months. ◆ Household contacts and caregivers of infants newborn to 23 months old. ◆ Pregnant women who will be in their third trimester during the influenza season. ◆ Residents of nursing homes and other chronic care facilities. ◆ Owners and operators of poultry farms. ◆ Aboriginal peoples. ◆ People with a body mass index of 40 or greater. ◆ Corrections officers and inmates in provincial correctional institutions. Bring your CareCard or other government identification when you get your flu shot. Those not eligible for the free flu vaccine program should contact their family doctor, local pharmacy, walk-in clinic or travel clinic. For information on flu clinic schedules, please visit VIHA’s web site at www.viha.ca/flu. For more information about the flu vaccine, please visit http://immunizebc.ca.

Reading supports poetry

Ian Parker began playing piano at age three. He now holds a master’s degree in music from Juilliard. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Popular piano concerto chosen for symphony’s season kickoff BY MELISSA FRYER THE NEWS BULLETIN

The moments of despair amid joy, and those of happiness during sorrow, are well-acquainted in composer Peter Tchaikovsky’s work. The Russian’s most famous piano concerto is a perfect example of the turmoil the composer felt during his career. “It covers all the emotional values of the Romantic period,” said pianist Ian Parker, who performs Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 with the Vancouver Island Symphony Saturday (Oct. 22). He said Tchaikovsky’s melodic nature comes through in the piece, which may owe to his training as a violinist, as well as the composer’s ability to stir strong emotions from listeners. “Pianists are more concerned about showing off the pyrotechnics of the instrument,” Parker said. “Tchaikovsky is more about ripping your soul out.” In the first movement, traditionally the piano is given its grand entrance at the end of the section, but

Tchaikovsky gives the instrument a moment to shine right away. The second movement follows with a very innocent, pastoral sound, which Tchaikovsky shakes up by throwing in a jazzy moment before returning to the country sound. The third is a nonstop train ride, said Parker. “You can feel this intense, rhythmic quality,” he said. The triumphant moments in the piece reflect the conflict within human emotion and represents the concert’s overall theme of genius and madness. The symphony will also play Tchaikovsky’s Polonaise and Waltz from the opera Eugene Onegin; Schumann’s Manfred Overture and Symphony No. 3 (Rhenish). It’s the symphony’s third concert featuring Parker as the guest artist. The relationship began under the symphony’s founding director, Marlin Wolfe, who had Parker play Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 2, Op. 18, in C minor, in 2005. Two years later, Parker played Gershwin’s Rhapsody in

Blue at current artistic director Pierre Simard’s very first concert with the symphony. “That was the whole year they were trying different conductors,” Parker said. “The concert really put Pierre to the test and he just ate it up.” The same can be said for Parker, who began playing piano at age three, under the tutelage of his father, Edward. Parker earned a master’s degree in music from Juilliard, North

America’s premiere arts school and won the Sylva Gelber Career Grant from the Canada Council, awarded annually to the most talented Canadian artist. He takes the stage with the Vancouver Island Symphony Saturday, 7:30 p.m., at the Port Theatre. Tickets $52; $49/seniors; $20/ students. Please call 250-754-8550.

A poetry reading on Gabriola Island will benefit a trust fund dedicated to supporting poets and poetry in Canada. The League of Canadian Poets announced the PK Page Trust Fund with series of benefit readings to honour her and initiate the fund. “PK was one of our own and we want to remember her,” said Susan McMaster, league president. “She was a great poet and a great mentor. We hope this new fund will grow into a large endowment that allows the league to support the art and craft of poetry in a number of ways that would have pleased her.” Born in 1916, Page’s artistic and poetic career spanned more than five decades, ending only with her death in 2010. She was made a Life Member of the League in 1987. “PK meant a great deal to me personally, for her connection across poetic generations and with English poetry, for her patrician ways and her bright, agile mind,” said past president DC Reid. “Her book of glosas, Hologram, and her encouragement

The Bra Lady Is Coming to Size You Up

Gemini

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, your thoughts gravitate toward adventures and vacations this week. If you can’t get your mind off of a trip, then take one and bring a friend along for the ride.

Cancer

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, it’s one thing to want to advance your career, but don’t walk over others to get to the top in the process. You certainly attract more ﬂies with honey.

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra. Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in. Chapman is coming to Nanaimo on Wednesday, October 26 to outﬁt you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the beneﬁts of good bras and measuring their bodies properly.

Leo

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, this may be the week to be a little rebellious. Break out of a rut with some new clothes, dining experiences or things of this nature. You may get a new perspective.

Virgo

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you want to get involved with something, but others might feel like you’re stepping on their toes in the process. Give space where space is needed.

“Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.” Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

YOU’VE TRIED ALL THE REST - NOW TRY THE BEST • NO UNDERWIRES • NO ELASTIC STRAPS • NO STRAPS FALLING OFF SHOULDERS • NO RIDING UP IN THE BACK

You can sign up for Chapman’s bra clinic by calling

resulted in an outpouring of this Spanish form from Canadian poets, firmly establishing a new stream in Canadian formalist poetry.” In 2000, Page was granted a special honour when the United Nations chose her glosa Planet Earth for its Dialogue Among Civilizations Through Poetry reading series. The poem — which was the one for which she wanted to be remembered — was read at locations around the globe considered ‘international ground,’ including the United Nations, Mount Everest and Antarctica. A benefit reading for the PK Page Trust Fund will be held Nov. 6, 2-4 p.m., at Mad Rona’s Coffee Bar, 500 North Rd. Featuring League member poets Sandy Shreve and Heidi Greco, the event will open with a reading of Planet Earth, read by Gabriola’s Naomi Beth Wakan. Other local poets will have a chance to read a favourite Page poem by contacting Janet Vickers at janetvickers@shaw.ca. Suggested donation at the door is $5. All money collected will go to the PK Page Trust Fund.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Family issues take precedence over other matters, Capricorn. You may have to buckle down for a few days and alleviate some things on the home front before moving on.

Aquarius

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, take a few moments to think things over before you act. Reacting too quickly could cause issues that aren’t so quickly remedied. Scorpio lends guidance.

Pisces

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, sometimes it’s not so easy to say you are sorry. That’s just what you may have to do for a friend who feels wronged.

V.I. Raiders reach B.C. final Inbrief I

Barsby, NDSS win in blowouts

NANAIMO WINS 49-17 against Victoria Rebels. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

The V.I. Raiders dictated the play against a determined Victoria Rebels team and advanced to the B.C. final. Nanaimo’s Canadian Junior Football League team defeated the Westshore Rebels 49-17 in playoff action Saturday at Caledonia Park. “We were able to score early and stretch it out and run the football early against them,” said Matthew “Snoop” Blokker, Raiders coach. “Sometimes it’s not going to be as pretty and flashy as what you see in the regular season but the end result is what matters.” V.I. quarterback Jordan Yantz opened the scoring on a one-yard keeper five minutes into the game following a Victoria turnover on downs at midfield. The Rebels kicked a field goal, then the teams traded long passing touchdowns before the first quarter ended in a 15-10 lead for the home side. The Raiders started the second quarter with a 70-yard touchdown run from fullback Ashton Galloway, then turned two Westshore turnovers into touchdowns. A 20-yard TD catch from Andrew Smith

and a 24-yard run from Jordan Botel gave the Raiders an insurmountable 35-10 halftime lead. V.I.’s swarming defence is unmatched when it comes to forcing turnovers, and Blokker said that was a key on Saturday. “We feel if we give our offence a few more tries than what the opposition’s getting, we’re going to be in some good hands,” he said. The ground game was another storyline. Victoria’s tailback Greg Morris had a field day

the last time he played at Caledonia, and Vic’s other back Niles Goguen demanded attention in the film room, too. “We knew that those two were their offence, so us linebackers and D-line were focused on them a lot during the game and making proper reads, getting in the right gaps and tackling,” said Ranji Atwall, Raiders linebacker. Morris and Goguen were held in check for the most part, while Nanaimo’s running backs Botel and Galloway both had 100-yard games.

“As much talk as there was about [the Rebels’ backfield], we still feel ours is the best in the league…” Blokker said. “Botel had some big holes and some big rips and we just fed off it.” Saturday’s game was only the second playoff meeting between the Island teams, so the Raiders got the rare opportunity to boot their rivals into the off-season. Rebels lineman Jack Allen was proud of how his team prepared and played. “It’s a tough loss when

you put all this time into it,” he said. “[Both teams] dug pretty deep. It was a battle, it was tough. We were fighting.” Raiders receiver Whitman Tomusiak, who scored two touchdowns, said Victoria came to play and played a good game. “I’m happy we got the ‘W’,” he said. “There were plays … that we left on the field. We’re going to have to fix those as the games are just getting harder from here on out … Hopefully we keep on rolling. This is the start.” ◆ See ‘RAMS’ /33

The rematch of last year’s provincial final turned out to be another mismatch. The John Barsby Bulldogs hammered the Handsworth Royals 30-6 on Friday in North Vancouver in AA varsity football action. It was the first meeting between the two teams since last December’s B.C. final, when the ’Dawgs won 53-27. Barsby has a bye week before it hosts the Windsor Dukes on Oct. 28. The Nanaimo District Islanders, meanwhile, continue to roll over Tier 2 varsity competition. NDSS shut out the Moscrop Panthers 58-0 Friday at Nanaimo District Secondary School. It was ND’s second straight lopsided shutout win. The Isles visit Eric Hamber Friday (Oct. 21).

Dover, Cedar clash in v-ball Local high school volleyball teams were the class of the Cedar Community Secondary School tournament this past weekend. The Dover Bay Dolphins senior girls won the 16-team tourney with a 21-25, 25-18, 15-8 win over the Cedar Spartans on Saturday. The NDSS Islanders senior girls finished fifth at the tournament.

Clippers’ comeback falls short BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Nanaimo Clippers forward Brendan Taylor gets away a shot on goal during Sunday’s B.C. Hockey League game against the Victoria Grizzlies at Frank Crane Arena.

The Nanaimo Clippers weren’t ready for puck drop and it cost them. The city’s B.C. Hockey League team lost 5-4 to the Victoria Grizzlies on Sunday at Frank Crane Arena after falling behind 5-0 in the first period. “This is the first bad start we’ve actually had this year.

We haven’t been able to finish games, but now we’ve found a way to not be able to start one.” The coach said his team’s 5-4 overtime loss to the Grizzlies last Wednesday might have rattled his team’s confidence and affected its start on Sunday. “Part of mental toughness is being able to come back after facing adversity,” he said. “Part of that is focus, being ready to play.” The Clippers were happy they at least made a game of it.

VIU men’s soccer clinches first place MARINER TEAMS both win in return to home pitch.

Vancouver Island University’s soccer teams marked their return to their home field with two big wins in the standings. The VIU Mariners men and women both defeated the Capilano Blues on Saturday

at Mariner Field in Pacific Western Athletic Association action. The women won by a 2-1 score in the early game, then the men shut out Cap 3-0. The victory for the Mariner men was key, as it allowed the defending national champions to clinch first place in PacWest with two games still to play in the regular season. Jared Stephens scored the

game’s first goal, chipping the keeper from just outside the 18-yard box 25 minutes into the game. Dan Cato and A.J. Kambere added second-half goals and Dan Mercer made some good saves to preserve his fourth shutout of the season. In the women’s game, Jolene Nagy scored just five minutes into the game and M’s keeper Shelby Walker made two key saves early in

the second half to preserve her team’s lead. Ashlee Allbury made it 2-0 in the 70th minute on a header that ended up being the gamewinning goal. GAME ON … VIU’s teams host UBC-Okanagan on Saturday (Oct. 22) and Thompson Rivers on Sunday at Mariner Field. The women play at 1 p.m. Saturday; the men at 3 p.m. Sunday’s game times are noon and 2 p.m.
