Citizens given task of finding new identity BY MELISSA FRYER THE NEWS BULLETIN

NEWS BULLETIN FILE

Oscar Torgerson and his, dad Daryn, play bocce ball at the Father’s Day in the Park celebration at Maffeo Sutton Park earlier this year. City council is reassessing its improvement plan for the park after land previously slated for development of condo towers was rezoned and added back into the waterfront park property.

It’s up to the citizens of Nanaimo to decide the city’s identity. More than 250 people listened as Whistler Mayor Ken Melamed and former B.C. premier Mike Harcourt shared their experiences at the Nanaimo Community Vision Rally Wednesday. The event at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre was organized by a group of Nanaimo citizens with the goal of creating a new vision for Nanaimo. In the audience were current and former city councillors, business owners and members of social organizations who listened as Harcourt, who is also a former mayor of Vancouver, outlined how that city became one of the most livable in the world. “For 60 years, we had really bad choices – dead downtowns and suburban sprawl,” he said. “We’ve got to get cities right.” Vancouver had the option to create a super highway through the centre of town, but council opted for public transit and an increase in density to get people to live in the cities they worked. Preserving the natural environment was a key component of Whistler’s plan. Another was to get workers living in the village, rather than commuting to work. “You can arrive without a car and get around very easily,” Melamed said. ◆ See ‘FORUM’ /4

Northfield fire ruled suspicious A suspicious house fire on Northfield Road shut down both lanes of traffic on the busy street for just over an hour Thursday morning. Crews were called to a vacant rental house at about 5:45 a.m. Thursday. Ennis Mond, fire investigator with Nanaimo Fire Rescue, said the damage was contained to a corner bedroom in the three-bedroom rental house, as well as a bit of the roof above the bedroom. Mond would not release any further details about the fire. “It’s a suspicious fire and the investigation has been turned over to the RCMP,” he said.

Police search leads to arrest A search warrant carried out by the Nanaimo RCMP’s crime reduction unit has shut down an active drug house. Police entered an upper level of a home in the 200 block of Lambert Avenue just before 7 p.m. Wednesday and encountered three adult males and one 15-year-old female. All four were taken into custody and a search of the house turned up approximately three ounces of crack cocaine, a half- ounce of crystal methamphetamine, 2,000 pills of ecstasy and $800 in Canadian currency. The three males, one 21, and the other two 22 years of age, were released on promise to appear Jan. 17. Police are recommending charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking. The female was not charged.

A fish tale Tony Chan, who was enjoying a stroll at Diver Lake, lends a helping hand by holding down the hose spewing rainbow trout into the lake Wednesday afternoon. The Freshwater Fisheries Society of British Columbia was releasing the fish as part of its fall stocking program. Fish were also released in Westwood, Green and Long lakes as well as Colliery Dam.

Car theft ends in foot chase, arrest

An early-morning foot chase by a Nanaimo Mountie was needed to arrest a suspect in a stolen car. In his patrol car at 8 a.m. Thursday, the officer checked the licence plate of a 1999 white four-door Plymouth Breeze travelling south on Terminal Avenue. The car was reported stolen in Saanich Tuesday and when the officer attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver made an illegal left turn onto Gordon Street and drove into the threelevel parkade at speeds approaching 60 km/h. Steering violently through the

parkade, the driver eventually turned into a dead end, abandoned the car and fled on foot pursued by the officer. The foot chase ended at the intersection of Bastion and Commercial streets with the officer arresting the suspect, who was in possession of stolen credit cards from a break-in in Ladysmith last month. A 35-year-old male faces charges of possesion of a stolen vehicle, possession of stolen property, dangerous driving, flight from police and driving while prohibited. He was scheduled to appear in Nanaimo provincial court Thursday.

◆ From /1 Both speakers highlighted the idea that cities can have development without sprawl. Harcourt said civic leaders are starting to realize that property tax will not cover the cost or upkeep of infrastructure like roads, bridges and sewers. The solution in both communities was to build on the existing footprint. “We’ve had a moratorium on growth for a number of years,” Melamed said. “We didn’t say no to profit.” A vision that the community buys into will also help council make developers and investors conform to the city’s goals and priorities. “These aren’t our rules – they’re the community’s rules,” Melamed said. Whistler undertook an extensive community discussion, which was where the priorities of the long-term plan came from – not from the politicians. Residents and the community must show a willingness and ability to move forward rather than wait for government, said Melamed.

“Politicians are not willing to put their heads on a chopping block,” he said. Rather than ask what a candidate’s vision is, Harcourt said voters should ask about ideas. Kim Smythe, one of the rally organizers, said the evening posed more questions than it answered. He said the rally’s six organizers will evaluate and discuss as a group to create a process to eventually create a plan. “We’re going to go into planning mode,” Smythe said. “There are a lot of people in Nanaimo eager for change, leadership and direction.” He said the rally was inspired from the anger residents felt over the lack of vision from government, but after the experiences shared by Harcourt and Melamed, Smythe said the onus is now on the community to show leadership.

City seeking poet to sing our praises BY TOBY GORMAN THE NEWS BULLETIN

A few lines is all we ask, to capture our fair city’s past If you think you’ve got the stuff, write a verse, it’s not so tough. OK, you’ll have to do better than that if you want to become Nanaimo’s first official Poet Laureate, a position approved by council Monday on a recommendation from the Parks, Recreation and Culture Commission. Coun. Diana Johnstone, chairwoman of the commission, said $1,000 will be budgeted for the position for three years, beginning in 2012. “Larger cities generally have a poet and we felt, as Nanaimo grows, it would be appropriate here as well,” she said. “The idea is to raise awareness for poetry and literacy for the City of Nanaimo.” Kingston, Edmonton, Vancouver and Victoria are some of the major Canadian cities that employ a poet laureate. According to Johnstone, a city poet would serve as a “people’s poet” and to highlight the positive impact literature and poetry can have on community life. The individual selected for the honorary position will have to go through an audition process, which will be overseen by a committee that includes two peers, two council members and one member of Vancouver Island University’s creative writing program. Once chosen, the poet will be

He or she will also be asked to initiate events related to poetry. Selection criteria includes publication of at least one book of poetry and other publications that display literary excellence, live or work in Nanaimo, and possess a strong knowledge and understanding of the history and cultural life of the city. “We recognize all kinds of things from sports to clubs and other organizations,” said Coun. Bill Holdom. “This is one more we should recognize and it’s a modest enough recognition.” Coun. Merv Unger voted against it, citing better uses of money, but the balance of council voted for it. “We cut out a few lunches and we pay for it in a heartbeat,” said Coun. Jim Kipp. The community is invited to submit nominations or expressions of interest for the position. reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

MOSTAD

Angela Giuriato said she doesn’t feel the final report properly serves the citizens of Lantzville and does not support it. Mostad said a more extensive public consultation process is needed and the proposed bylaw should be created from scratch with a round-table discussion with stakeholders, instead of behind closed doors by Lantzville council. Committee member Coun. Warren Griffey said he’s pleased with the outcome of the recommendations.

“This is one of the m o s t p r o g r e s s iv e bylaws to come to the Island,” he said, adding it goes further than Nanaimo’s, Parksville’s or the Regional District of Nanaimo’s bylaws. The public was consulted through a series of workshops and that information was used to craft the bylaw and during the recommendation process, which began in April, he said. The bylaws passed the second reading at a special meeting Tuesday. The next step is a public hearing. Date, time and location of the hearing will be determined at Tuesday’s (Oct. 11) council meeting. Griffey said the input from the public hearing will determine if the bylaws are given third reading or if further changes are necessary. reporter3@nanaimobulletin.com

Protesters seek leadership, action from politicians Protesters gathered outside both Nanaimo MP offices Monday as part of Turning Point, a day of political action across Canada. The idea for the action sprouted from the inspirational letter left by late NDP leader Jack Layton. Initiated by Leadnow.ca, the intention was to bring together Canadians to achieve “progress through democracy”. “The need for government transparency, revitalizing social programs, and electoral reform are at the top of our list,” said participant Chad Henderson. “We are concerned that our democratic system is being compromised by corporate interests and those with the biggest bank account. This needs to end now.” The day of action involved displaying banners at Nanaimo’s two MP offices. Leadnow.ca plans to continue to engage citizens in grassroots campaigns across Canada in the coming months. More information can be found at the website.

Throne speech earns criticism as lacking substance

Nanaimo family tops first energy challenge

BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN

Six families in competition to reduce their energy use BY WAYNE EMDE

With their faces streaked with yellow paint, the Belbin family of Nanaimo entered the first head-tohead competition in the national Energy Diet Challenge’s first Urban Energy Challenge determined to best the other four families who had all flown to Calgary on the weekend. At the end of a long day, they came out on top, taking home $4,000 in energy-efficient kitchen appliances. “We came to Calgary prepared to have fun, to compete and to reconnect with the other families,” said Alison, who, with her husband Grant, entered the family in the contest in the spring with the plan to introduce their three children, Drew, Kai and Mara, to the concept of reducing their energy use. Sponsored by Shell Canada and Canadian Geographic, the competition puts six families from across Canada on a three-month journey not only to reduce their individual energy use, but to also spread the message that every family can have an impact by making some simple changes. The families are blogging and using social media to share their experiences. On Saturday, the families faced multiple challenges in an Amazing Race meets The Apprentice style competition. In the first, they travelled to Rona using only foot power and public transit where they had to survey two room mock-ups, a living room and a bathroom, and determine what energy-saving devices were missing and then find them in the store. Points were also awarded for finding

Ashley Nixon of Shell Canada, left, and Gilles Gagnier of Canadian Geographic, right, announce Nanaimo’s Belbin family as winners of the Energy Diet Challenge’s first Urban Energy Challenge in Calgary last weekend. The Belbins beat four other families from across Canada to take home $4,000 in energy-efficient kitchen appliances.

additional products to reduce energy in each room. In the timed event, the Belbins quickly scoured the store and brought the items back to the rooms. “It was a madhouse trying to include all three kids in the foot race around the store,” said Alison. “But more than once our kids found an item before we did.” The second part of the challenge was a quiz on energy-saving matters that tested the families’ knowledge of recycling, composting, transportation and household energy use. After they were finished at Rona, the families moved to a shopping mall where they had an hour to sell a number of energy-saving devices,

including LED bulbs, insulators, dual-flush converter units and even a composting toilet. “All of the money we raised went to our chosen charity, the ChariTREE Foundation. We’re extremely proud of how much we were able to raise in one hour.” At the end of the afternoon, the Belbins accumulated more points than the other families by a substantial margin. “It was a lot of work and there were so many different components of this challenge,” said Alison, “But the kids were great and were a big part of our win. We also got to celebrate Kai’s eighth birthday in a way that she’ll remember for a long time because after they announced the winners, the MC had everyone at the mall sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to her.” Next month, the families will travel to Toronto to take part in a second group challenge to see how far one family member can drive on one litre of gas. The contest ends in December when the overall winning family will be announced.

Premier Christy Clark’s throne speech lacked substance and didn’t provide a clear gover nment plan, Nanaimo-area NDP MLAs say. “It was a thin gruel at best. It was dreadfully lacking in substance,” said Leonard Krog, NDP MLA for Nanaimo. “I’m concerned. It’s becoming clear that the government really doesn’t have any agenda.” Krog said there should have been a significant job plan and more information about land claim issues. In addition, he would have liked to see funding restored to the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Forests to drive the economic recovery of the forest industry and protect the environment. The initiative proposed to reduce the backlog in B.C. courts by relaxing restrictions on part-time work performed by retired judges will do little to address the issue, said Krog, the opposition critic for the attorney general. To make a difference, more full-time judges are needed, he said. Doug Routley, NDP MLA for NanaimoNorth Cowichan, agreed that Clark’s speech offered little new information, adding it’s also unusual to have a throne speech in the fall. He said the “truly astonishing” thing

about the speech was the lack of a job plan that addresses the forest industry. He said more needs to be done to address issues such as rising tuition costs, removing the HST faster and expanding and protecting the jobs in the province. Routley said the middle class has been under continual pressure from increasing costs which include rising MSP premiums, hydro jumps and the HST. “A thriving, successful middle class is not an outcome of a good economy but the creator of a good economy,” he said. “There are families that need the help of the government.” Ron Cantelon, Liberal MLA for ParksvilleQualicum, said his government addressed several issues of importance to British Columbians. “The premier put forward a very bold and strong optimistic vision,” said Cantelon. He said the Liberals are looking for opportunities to expand B.C. markets, and are investing in communities to improve recreational infrastructure and are awaiting a report on the operations of B.C. Ferries. He said the Liberals will also review the provincial tax system to make sure it supports creating jobs. “The job agenda is very important and we’re taking the lead in marketing our products,” he said. reporter3@nanaimobulletin.com

EDITORIAL

Turkey holiday can be shelved Toss the turkey and add the family. There are nine statutory holidays in British Columbia, only three of which occur during the first six months of the year. It is a bleak fact the coldest, darkest and, for many, loneliest months of the year are afforded the fewest holidays. This is why Premier Christy Clark is banking on her Family Day holiday brightening minds – and, perhaps, her chances at winning re-election in 2013. Clark has followed Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Prince Edward Island in adding a statutory holiday in late February. It would be a welcome break in the vast monotony of winter that stretches from New Year’s Day to Good Friday. That’s almost four months without a nonweekend break. Yet, British Columbians enjoy a holiday per month from Canada Day to Christmas. Packing days off in the months of good weather makes sense, but is there really a need for three more statutory holidays in the colder months that follow? Clark’s decision has businesses concerned about the costs incurred in increased wages, lost revenue and decreased production. They are fair concerns. To address business concerns, Alberta eliminated a stat holiday in August when creating Family Day. B.C. could do the same – adding a much-needed holiday in February to help bridge this most barren of seasons, while scratching a stat from the holiday-rich back end of the calendar. If a stat holiday has to go, we suggest Thanksgiving be sacrificed, as is done with turkeys each year. This year, Labour Day falls just 35 days before Thanksgiving and Remembrance Day arrives only 32 days after Thanksgiving. Surely, workers in B.C. would choose a February break over an October reprieve.

brought some council hopefuls out of the woodwork. It’s the same story as the social housing controversy a few kilometres to the south, as misinformation and misunderstandings seem to be ruling the conversation, while actual solutions are easily within reach. Emotions are running high in the small community and that’s a surefire recipe for some surprises on the month-long campaign trail. At the school board table, the primary issue hasn’t changed for years – there isn’t enough money. Trustees have cut and cut and cut further and there’s simply nowhere else to cut. Last election the key issue for education stakeholders was the facilities renewal plan, which got tossed in the trash as soon as a new board took office. Since then, despite countless hours and meetings spent on the plan, Nanaimo still doesn’t have a clear idea of where we’re going with our school buildings and many of the projects we were waiting for three years ago are still on the drawing board. If voters are unhappy with that situation, they should know who is responsible – the board majority that tossed out a provincially endorsed document that would have brought us new, revitalized schools and a better education environment for our students. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

Short-sighted view on harm reduction plan not beneficial

Nanaimo News Bulletin

To the Editor, Re: Government funding supports addicts, Letters, Oct. 4. After having participated in the federal Supreme Court Case for Insite in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside as a B.C. Nurses Union council member, I feel I need to respond to this dialogue (the ruling came down last week in our favour). The BCNU has supported safe injection sites from the beginning. It may not look, upfront, like it’s beneficial and it may even look like its enabling but it’s not. What it does is it stops the ambulance from being called because there are less overdoses, which in turns means that this individual is not adding to the already overcrowded ER situation (blocking a bed that you might need instead). That’s the short-term, but in the long-term these people are being taught safe practices that will in turn affect their health long-term so they are not burdening the health care system with so many chronic diseases, creating added workload for our hospitals, our doctors and other programs. They deserve dignity and care just like everyone else. If they are going to practise these behaviours, let’s help them to do it safely. It doesn’t reduce the numbers of drug abusers, but they have access to counselling if they do want to rehab. Lots of the counsellors in these places come from the streets and know intimately what these clientele are facing. And more people do come off of the drugs with this assistance than they do if left to the streets. So reducing “free support” actually increases the tax payers’ burden in the short and long run. Take a long-term global view rather than one that is shortsighted. Ask questions and be curious, there’s more information and support out there explaining this better than I do. Jo Taylor Nanaimo

Park the mobile hospital trailers for permanent use and sell the truck, letter writer says.

Taxpayers’ money wasted on mobile hospital trucks To the Editor, Re: Mobile hospital prepares for crisis, Oct. 4. After reading about our government’s new $5-million mobile hospital with four full-time and two part-time staff, I thought to myself, (like many other citizens no doubt), I sure feel a lot safer now. What a brilliant idea. Why don’t we dig up all of our hospitals and put them on wheels ready to be trucked off to the next disaster? Then I thought about the logistics of this. Sure, it’s one thing to drive the hospital over to Abbotsford a day or so in advance of the air show and wait for a plane to crash into the stands. It’s another thing altogether to get the hospital quickly packed up in Abbotsford and onto a ferry on a long weekend, (without a reservation) to assist with a disaster on the Island – and what if a plane crashes at the air show in the meantime? No, this doesn’t really make sense. The Abbotsford air show would already have emergency medical facilities. We already have permanent hospitals on the Island and around the province where sick and

injured are brought by ambulance and medevac and our communities have emergency plans for disasters that have shown to be effective. How could our government justify this huge and ongoing expense of taxpayers’ money? Then I read the last paragraph of the article and it all made sense. This “hospital on wheels” was left over from the 2010

Winter Games and our government bought it from VANOC to help reduce the Olympic deficit. Nice try Christy Clark, but I didn’t just fall off the turnip truck, which is one thing trucks are really meant for, and not for hauling hospitals. Park it where it can be put to good use on a permanent basis and sell the truck. Brent Kaufmann Nanaimo

B.C. follows Ontario mistake on meters To the Editor, Hydro One in Ontario started installing ‘smart meters’ back in the late 1990s. They soon found out that in the cold winter temperatures, the units were anything but smart. It seems cold has a negative effect on the accuracy of these things. So Hydro One in its wisdom started what is called time of use metering. This is done in an attempt to steer users away from peak power time. Don’t know what happened to those smart meters, perhaps B.C. Hydro bought them. Brian DeKuyper Nanaimo

To the Editor, Re: City’s air not so great, Letters Oct. 1. Gregory Roscow writes about “Harmac’s smelly pollution” and seems to think that Nanaimoites “get more upset about woodstoves than about Harmac”. Two years ago the federal government announced, that Nanaimo Forest Products/Harmac Pacific had been granted almost $27 million through the Pulp and Paper Green Transformation Program, so one would expect that best practices are being utilized in its operations. Regarding woodstoves, until very recently, local politicians have paid little attention to the burning practices of those residing in densely populated residential neighbourhoods. It appears that there has been a lack of public awareness, that residential wood smoke emissions are comprised of 100 different toxic substances, including fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and carbon monoxide. In long-established neighbourhoods, some residents are on the receiving end of residential smouldering smoke and accompanying odour, yet the city has prohibited the emission of offensive smoke and ash from outdoor residential burning. Apparently, professionals who work with residential wood burning appliances are certified by the Wood Energy Technicians of B.C., but what about the operators of the appliances? It would seem that local politicians, who do not support the use of pesticides for cosmetic purposes, are not aware that in 2001 the Supreme Court of Canada determined that a municipality has the right and responsibility to enact bylaws to promote the health of its residents. The court judgment is not restricted to pesticides. Burning in an irresponsible manner is not a sacred right. Janet Irvine Nanaimo What do you think?

Nanaimo News Bulletin Saturday, October 8, 2011

Province ‘streamlines’ forest licences The B.C. government has introduced changes to forest harvest licences to simplify operations for energy and mining companies, and loosen land use restrictions for private woodlot owners. The proposed legislation

gives Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson authority to allow woodlot owners to remove private land from woodlot licences. The ministry said in a statement the change will “provide woodlot owners flex-

ibility in managing their assets in changing economic times, and to plan for retirement.” Amendments would also allow the direct award of fibre supply licences to allow access to wood waste for biofuel production.

bathrooms or the kitchen. Alarms should be tested with real smoke – burn some toast – replace the batteries every six months or if the alarm is hard wired, replace it every 10 years, said Kwasnecha. A recent townhouse fire might not have resulted in such severe damage or required a woman to jump out a second floor window if a smoke alarm had alerted her to the blaze earlier, said Kwasnecha. Families should also have an evacuation plan that includes where to meet and how to get out. Kwasnecha said it is important to go over the different exit routes with all household

members and even practice it. The third point is being fire conscious around the house. Many of the fires Nanaimo crews respond to are cooking related, said Kwasnecha, caused by people leaving food cooking unattended on the stove or storing flammable items on stove burners or in the oven. Smoking and electrical fires are also common, he said. Flickering lights should be checked out, old appliances that don’t really work should be chucked and avoid overloading electrical plugs. Portable heaters should not be placed anywhere near flammable materials. People need to make sure they dispose of cigarette butts properly, added Kwasnecha, as even butts disposed of outside, such as in a planter on a deck or in bark mulch, have resulted in major structure fires in the past. Fire Prevention Week is recognized every October. While fewer fires are reported in Canada, Fire Prevention Canada reports an average of eight Canadians die from fire-related incidents every week.

Wind Damage

Safety tips for the home Kitchen ◆ Avoid loose long sleeves when cooking. ◆ Check kettles and toasters for damaged electrical cords and thermostats. ◆ Use appliances that have an automatic shut-off. ◆ Keep a timer handy to remind you when the oven and burners should be switched off. ◆ If you take medication that causes drowsiness, do not use cooking appliances. ◆ Use a temperaturecontrolled electric skillet or deep-fryer for frying. ◆ Never leave your cooking unattended. ◆ Use appropriate cooking appliances and keep them clean. ◆ Keep a pot cover nearby to “put a lid on it” in the event of a fire. Living Room ◆ Fireplace – always use a fire screen, ensuring it is the appropriate size for the fireplace opening. ◆ Do not overload electrical outlets or use extension cords in the place of additional outlets. ◆ Smokers should check furniture for fallen cigarettes or embers, which can

smoulder undetected for several hours before bursting into flames. ◆ Ensure careful use of smoking materials and extinguish in water before disposal. ◆ Never leave cigarettes in an ashtray unattended. ◆ Use ashtrays with a double rim and deep centre. ◆ Keep matches, lighters and lit candles out of the reach of children. ◆ Never leave lit candles unattended.

Bedroom ◆ Install at least one smoke alarm outside each sleeping area. For improved safety, install a smoke alarm in every bedroom. ◆ Check electrical appliances regularly: electric blankets, heating pads, curling irons, radios, televisions, irons. ◆ Bedrooms should be non-smoking areas. Basement and Attic ◆ Remove all combustible and flammable materials from the basement and attic. ◆ Store gasoline in wellventilated areas. ◆ Do not store propane indoors.

active life Children exercise activity options I PROGRAM PROVIDES kids with 12 free visits to city recreational facilities. BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN

mily Bassett can skate, swim or drop in at the Oliver Woods Community Centre gymnasium for free – all she needs is her active pass card. The pass, introduced last year, gives Grade 5 students 12 free visits to public drop-in sessions at various Nanaimo recreational facilities. Due to the popularity of the program, parks, recreation and culture is expanding it to Grade 6 students this year. Bassett, 11, said having the free visits encourages her to attend more of the public sessions. “It’s really fun and it keeps you active,” she said. “It’s good when you come down here with a whole bunch of friends.” She said the program encourages youth to stay healthy and active. Bassett knows some youth in her school would just stay home and sit on the couch if they didn’t have the pass. To qualify for the Grade 5 pass, children must be born in 2001. Grade 6 pass recipients must be born in the year 2000. Application forms are available at city recreational centres and school offices in Nanaimo school district. The program is also open to children who are homeschooled in Nanaimo. Homeschool students must present proof of Nanaimo residency. Tara Fedosoff, a recreation coordinator for parks, recreation and culture, said the active pass program is proactive, instilling healthy lifestyle choices in children and allowing them easier access to activities. It also aims to curb childhood obesity.

RACHEL STERN/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Emily Bassett enjoys using her active pass to get into public drop-in programs at parks, recreation and culture facilities. The Grade 5 and 6 pass programs help kids stay active by giving them 12 free visits to activities.

“We’re trying to help families make healthy choices. The idea is to encourage youth to participate in physical activity to create a pattern of life for the child,” said Fedosoff. “The aim is to create a healthy lifestyle at a time when independence is being explored by kids.” Of the 907 youth eligible for the Grade

5 active pass in the school district last year, 484 registered. Those registrants paid a total of 4,000 visits to drop-in recreational swimming, skating and gymnasium programs. The pass gives youth 12 free visits to public drop-in sessions which include swimming sessions at Beban Pool and the Nanaimo Aquatic Centre; skat-

ing sessions at Frank Crane Arena, Cliff McNabb Arena or the Nanaimo Ice Centre and gymnasium drop-in programs at Oliver Woods Community Centre. To learn more about the active pass program please contact parks, recreation and culture at 250-756-5200. reporter3@nanaimobulletin.com

munity centre.” The incorporation of exercise equipment into an urban park setting is not a new idea. In fact, wellness parks are very common in parts of Asia. A similar park in Delta first caught the attention of the seniors’ group. Members worked with city parks planning staff on the research, design and layout of the Oliver Woods wellness park. Parks, recreation and culture staff is hosting more orientation sessions over the coming months to introduce people to the park and provide more information on the versatility of the equipment. The park equipment is available for use for everyone over the age of 13. For more information about the Nanaimo Harbour City Seniors, please call 250-7557501.

Wellness park a health boon A wellness park is a grouping of stationary fitness equipment located outdoors intended for public use. The goal of such parks is to improve mobility, strength, flexibility and cardiovascular health. Did you know we have one in Nanaimo, and that our community was one of the first in North America to have such an amenity? It is tucked in beside the playground and the walking trails at Oliver Woods Community Centre, 6000 Oliver Rd. The park opened in June 2009, and is the result of the efforts and fundraising prowess of the Nanaimo Harbour City Seniors. “While the equipment is suitable for seniors and those with mobility issues, it is available to and would benefit everyone,” said Lynda Avis, NHCS president. “We would love to see more people using the amenity; it’s a perfect addition to the complex at Oliver Woods.

Personal action plan assists with long-distance caregiving Caring for a person with dementia from a long distance presents many challenges for Nanaimo residents. “It is important to develop a plan of action,” said Jane Hope, the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s regional support and education coordinator. Caregivers should take some basic steps before visiting the person with dementia, to create a plan that best meets their loved one’s needs. “Talk to family members, friends, neighbours, their physician, health agencies and other people who are in contact with the person,” said Hope. The society’s brochure, Assessing the Needs of the Person with Dementia, is an easy guide and is available online at www.alzheimerbc.org. Caregivers should identify services needed and make appointments with local care providers. Communicate clearly what you are hoping to achieve. Be prepared with questions you would like to have answered, and the services you are seeking. If possible, send

an e-mail prior to the appointment. Hope said caregivers should divide the responsibilities of care with other family members whenever possible. Then communicate regularly with all individuals helping with the care. More suggestions and information on long-distance caregiving are available at the free monthly meetings of the society’s family caregiver support group in Nanaimo. Meetings take place the second Thursday of each month. Please contact Hope at 250-734-4170 or e-mail jhope@alzheimerbc.org for more details. The support group serves as a place to exchange information, support and friendship with others whose lives are affected by dementia. A forum for sharing practical tips and strategies for coping with the many changes connected with the disease, it also provides an opportunity to decrease feelings of isolation and loneliness, and to find a positive outlook on things without being misunderstood.

Donating money to charity is one of the most selfless things a person can do. Unfortunately, criminals can easily prey on these selfless acts, using a person’s desire to help the less fortunate for their own personal gain. Seniors should be especially mindful of fraud schemes because they are considered easy targets for criminals for a number of reasons, including having a nest egg and a solid credit rating. What’s more, seniors are more likely to be ashamed if they feel they have been victimized and therefore are less prone to report the fraud. Before donating to charity this year, older donors should take the following precautions to reduce their risk of being victimized by con artists posing as charities. Get off the phone – Seniors are commonly victimized by con artists over the phone. No reputable charity will want you to donate over the telephone. Instead, the charity will want you to familiarize yourself with their mission and his-

• Oxygen Therapy • Cardiovascular Disease • Chronic Pain • Fibromyalgia • Pre & Post Dental Amalgam Treatment • Laboratory Testing

• Detoxification Programs • Drug Rehabilitation • Chelation Therapy • Weight Management • Fatigue

tory and then make a donation based on your research. If a caller wants you to donate over the phone, simply request they mail you information about the charity and then hang up. If they’re a reputable charity, this should not be a problem. Don’t feel pressured – No reputable charity pressures prospective donors into making contributions. That’s because they don’t need to. A charity can afford to keep its lights on and its programs running with or without your donation. If a caller or a letter is pressuring you to donate, don’t succumb to that pressure and kindly decline to donate. Don’t let ‘gifts’ pressure you – Another tool employed by con artists or even less reputable charities is to send ‘gifts’ to prospective donors. These can include mailing labels or cards. The hope is that recipients will feel pressured into donating once they receive a gift. Seniors should not feel compelled to donate because they received free mailing labels. Ve r i f y i n f o r m a tion – Con artists are especially good at impersonating a reputable charity, sending e-mails with a well known charity’s logo but a link that directs donors to a different website entirely. Never make a donation without first verifying a charity’s information, including how your donation will be used and how much of the charity’s budget goes toward the services and programs it provides.

Most hated V.I. Raider gets excited

good, sound game, then there’s no reason we can’t come out of this with the points we need.” No reason at all – except for a busload of proud, focused, anxious, undefeated V.I. Raiders who have a different outcome in mind. “We want to go play and we want to go win,” Schaper said. “Especially with all the unnecessary drama going on … It’s fun. We’re playing football. A big game, where it’s actual competition.” GAME ON … The Raiders and Sun kick off Sunday at 1 p.m. at Kelowna’s Apple Bowl stadium. The game will be webcast at 1 p.m. at www.viraiders.ca.

The V.I. Raiders and Okanagan Sun have a lot of star players, but the player to watch on Sunday, without question, is a depth receiver. Mitch Thompson of the Raiders is in the eye of the storm between the two rivals since he switched teams at the transaction deadline. His signing in Nanaimo spurred the Okie team to file a grievance with the league. “It’s definitely getting pretty intense, especially with everything going on, unfortunately,” Thompson said. “But I’m really excited for the game.” Sun general manager Howie Zaron said there’s some “bad feelings” toward Thompson. “I guess you can look at that two ways,” Zaron said. “The positive part about it is you can say, OK, screw him, let’s go kick his ass. The negative part is maybe your emotions are too high.” It’s a sure bet that the Raiders want to get Thompson a touchdown and a sure bet that the Sun want to deliver a bonejarring tackle. “I’m just going to go in there and do whatever I can to help our team win and whatever happens, happens,” Thompson said. Threats of violence don’t bother him at all, he said. “If anything it just motivates me to do better.”

offs 10-0 and we want to go there not giving Kelowna any reason to brag about anything,” Yantz said. Both sides have weapons at all positions. Yantz leads the conference in every quarterbacking category, and Sun QB Jeremy Mraovic has gotten better as the year has gone on and recently had a 13-of-15 passing game. Notably, the BCFC receiving title is undecided and both Okie’s Dan Turek (761 yards) and Nanaimo’s Andrew Smith (723) have a good shot at it. Team goals will come first for both sides, of course. “We match up well against them,” said Mraovic. “If everybody does their job, if we play a

for first place and nothing else,” said Jason Casey, Sun coach. “Winning the game 20-10 won’t mean a thing. It’s the same [as] finishing 8-2, second place is second place. We need to win by two touchdowns.” The Raiders view things a little differently. They won’t be satisfied with losing, even if it’s by 13 points or less. “If you think complacency, don’t lose by 14, then you’ve already lost,” said Mike Schaper, Raiders receiver. “Because you’re not setting the bar – you’re setting the bar for mediocre.” Yantz said winning is important, absolutely, and his team was preparing accordingly. “We want to go into the play-

Rivals will settle things on the field I The biggest football games of the year always seem to pit the Vancouver Island Raiders against the Okanagan Sun. Call this one the Collision in Kelowna. The V.I. Raiders (9-0) and the Sun (8-1) meet Sunday (Oct. 9) to determine first place in the B.C. Football Conference, earn homefield advantage in the playoffs and hit each other as hard as they can. “Playing these guys is awesome; I think it brings out the best in both teams,” said Wyatt Smith, Sun defensive back. “I’m getting goose bumps just thinking about it. This is what you play all year for and why the boys have worked so hard to get here.” The teams are the powerhouses in the BCFC every year, though the Raiders are 15-3 all-time against the Sun. The bad feelings overflowed in recent weeks as the Sun accused the Raiders of breaking league rules and both sides have been trash talking. “Obviously Okanagan’s going to bring their A game against us because there’s a lot of heated battles that have been going on lately,” said Jordan Yantz, Raiders quarterback. On the field, the battle is for first place. Because V.I. defeated Okie 33-20 earlier this season, the Sun have to win by 14 points or more to claim first place. “We’re not going out there to just win the game, we’re playing

Track and field club shifts seasons For those involved with the Nanaimo Track and Field Club, every year is a tale of two seasons. During the spring and summer months, club members practise at the Rotary Bowl facility for competition in running, jumping and throwing events. Then when the summer track season is over, the fall and winter months are devoted to training for cross country running. Last summer’s track and field season was certainly a successful one for club athletes. Executive member Sherri Clare sends word that seven members met B.C. Athletics standards for an Award of Excellence. To be honoured are Bryce Kosak for high jump, Jason Clare for triple jump, Charlie Andrews for the 300 metres, Alyssa Mousseau for 300m and 800m, Keaton Heisterman for 600m, Madison Heisterman for 600m and 1,000m and Jenaya Pynn for 300m.

Nanaimo District Islanders players Hugh Blackman, left, and Jayden Kambeitz tackle Barsby Bulldogs opponent North Rainey during the junior varsity Kocher Classic on Wednesday at John Barsby Community Secondary School field.

The Kocher Classic wasn’t close, but it benefited both teams. The Barsby Bulldogs defeated the NDSS Islanders 54-0 in junior varsity action Wednesday at John Barsby Community Secondary School’s Canem Field. The JV ’Dawgs got a chance to use all their players, while the Isles took moral victories out of their positive plays.

SOLID VS. ENGINEERED WOOD FLOORING Quality & Performance Most people outside of the wood flooring industry perceive solid wood flooring to be of higher quality than engineered wood flooring. In no small part, this is because people have not been educated as to relatively recent advances in the industry, particularly in the production processes of high-tech computerized mills. People generally assume that solid 3/4” wood flooring is better quality because it is thicker than engineered flooring. Solid flooring is not 3/4” of usable material – it typically has only about 1/4” (6mm) of wear surface above the T&G. From the T&G down you are basically misusing a valuable and finite resource (high-quality wood) as a platform to support the part that matters – the part above the tongue.
