City seeks input on Wellcox land By TamaRa CunningHam ThE NEwS BULLETiN
Nanaimo residents are being urged to share their vision of the south industrial waterfront during the city’s inaugural Harbour Fair. The South Downtown Waterfront Initiative has launched a new public campaign to tap into residents’ hopes for a transformed industrial waterfront. The committee, tasked by the City of Nanaimo to come up with long-term goals for the water’s edge, will host the Harbour Fair in October. The event is aimed at giving people a chance to tour the industrial waterfront, meet landowners and share ideas for the city’s “last urban frontier.” A new website was also recently created for the public to share their vision for area. The land, spanning the Wellcox yard to the border of the Snuneymuxw First Nation, has “significant potential” for economic development, mixed-use housing and a new transportation hub, according to Dave Witty, chairman of the waterfront initiative committee. But before committee members start to create their new guide for the future of the site, they want to hear from citizens on the ideas they believe are worth pursuing, he said. “I think there is an appetite on the part of the public to give comment on the future of Nanaimo in a fuller sense – including this,” Witty said about the upcoming Harbour Fair. “I urge people to please get involved ... we are trying to do a process here that’s going to be respectful and helpful to all.” The Harbour Fair launches Oct. 5 with tour buses taking people throughout the site, much of which has been barred to the public. Witty said he suspects very few residents have been able to explore the site. u See ‘COMMITTEE’ /6

Historic project unlikely to get derailed
I
owNeR woRkiNg with regional district on solution.
By TamaRa CunningHam ThE NEwS BULLETiN
A private, outdoor rail ‘museum’ won’t likely be derailed, despite coming under fire from the Regional District of Nanaimo. Peter Roosen, a U.S. businessman and former Dragon’s Den winner, has run afoul
of the Regional District of Nanaimo for building a private, fully operational historic railway in Nanaimo without permits. The railroad, built on his parents’ Jingle Pot property, has tunnels, bridges and walls with questionable structural integrity, according to regional district staff members. They are now working with Roosen to address issues on site, but could seek enforcement action if there is no voluntary compliance before January.
Roosen started the garden project four years ago. With the help of history buffs like Vancouver Island author T.W. Paterson, he said he unearthed centuryold pieces of railway, coal carts and locomotives in the Nanaimo region and reconstructed the pieces. No artifact on his site is younger than 100 years old and much of the items have been restored to work. Roosen can now fire up a train that chugs along the old track in front of his par-
ent’s house, near a replica coal mine, bridge and tunnels. Roosen claims none of the structures on site fall under the district’s requirements for building permits, which is why he didn’t approach the district for permission. He plans to work with the RDN this winter and while he has threatened to disassemble and ship the historic project to the U.S, he said he doesn’t anticipate the project will be derailed. u See ‘RAIL’ /6

Medical bills add up for animals I NANAimo SPCA seeks donations to help pay costs. By Karl yu The News BulleTiN
The Nanaimo SPCA seeks donations for the medical bills of four Chinese crested dogs and three Peterbald cats surrendered in an animal cruelty investigation. The society’s aim is to protect and enhance the quality of life for animals but with a monthly medical budget of $5,700 and more than 100 kittens in the Labieux Road shelter’s care and a number of puppies requiring to be tube fed, Nanaimo SPCA manager Leon Davis said the costs associated with the seven animals is prohibitive. “The Peterbald cats, those hair-less cats that cost $1,500 when you buy them from breeders, we have these three and they have $700 bills apiece. Their teeth are so rotten that full mouth extractions are needed for all three cats,” Davis said. The Nanaimo SPCA manager said the situation is worse with the dogs as they not only have dental issues but two have luxating patellas, which he said is an issue with the knee cap popping out, and requires “delicate surgery of the tendons.” Paying for surgery for the cruelty inves-
tigation animals wouldn’t allow the society to help other animals. “One of the dogs’ [bill] is $1,400 I believe and the other ones are about $800 [apiece] and then of course, you get flea checks and things down the road and taking them back in and making sure everything’s OK,” Davis said. The animals will be available for adoption, but the Nanaimo SPCA wants to ensure that they are all healthy before people take them home. Any donations will be welcome. “We’re hoping to raise $6,000 for the care of these animals. We haven’t appealed to the public for a long time. We’ve been running quite well and donations have been great, but this is just something unanticipated,” said Davis. “If we raise over the $6,000 there’s certainly been a lot of cruelty investigations this year and I already have a bunch of other animals waiting,” he said. Donations can be made online at spca.bc.ca/ nanaimo, calling 250-7588444, or dropping by the shelter at 2200 Labieux Rd. in Nanaimo – tax receipts will be available. Davis said updates on the Chinese crested dogs and the Peterbald cats will be provided on the Nanaimo SPCA’s Facebook page.

Gabriola firefighters move into new home By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
Gabriola Fire Rescue is getting ready to invite the public into its new home. Construction on the community’s new main firehall is nearly complete and the island’s 30 volunteer firefighters are prepping for a grand opening and open house. The building, under construction since January, is being built on the same property at 760 North Rd. as the old 1969 firehall it is replacing. “The old hall we’ve been in for 40 years and it flunked in any seismic study we ever got on it,” said Albert Reed, building committee chairman. The new hall is seismically sound and can accommodate more and larger firefighting equipment. Both are needed to meet unique and growing challenges of firefighting on Gabriola. Unlike fire departments on Vancouver Island that can call for mutual aid from emergency service in nearby communities, when a major fire or other disaster happens on on the island the fire department must handle it alone with the equipment and personnel available. Nor does Gabriola have a water and hydrant system, so all water used to battle blazes must be trucked to the scene with water tenders. “We have the equivalent insurance ratings as a city with fire hydrants, but we do that with a tanker shuttle service,” Reed said. “That takes a fair bit of equipment because we’re a standalone fire department.” The special demands of firefighting on Gabriola mean the island has continually been upgrading its fire fighting equipment. The new station, designed by Johnston Davidson Architecture of Vancouver, has been built to the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design silver standard and is similar in design to Nanaimo Fire Rescue Station No.4 in Chase River. There is space for eight vehicles, firefighter training, public education programs storage and maintenance. “More vehicle bay space, better and cleaner training facilities and it’s a green building so it will cost less to operate – a whole raft of things that go with modern day technology,” said Reed, who has a master’s degree in fire protection engineering. Cost of construction is $3.8 million. Gabriola Fire Rescue is moving as much equipment as possible into the new station even before it is totally finished. “We’ll start as soon as we can to respond to emergencies from the new building because if there’s an earthquake, the old building we can’t get the vehicles out, the doors will collapse,” Reed said. “This new building will be a good place to respond from so we’ll have turnout gear and the trucks there as the rest of the building gets its final completion.” The grand opening and open house for the new firehall happens Oct. 6, 1-4 p.m.

Civil disobedience planned against development Residents fighting to save Linley Valley West are considering civil disobedience to halt development. The advocacy group, Save Linley Valley West, is holding a public information meeting Wednesday (Sept. 18), where residents will be asked to join protests to help preserve more than 100 hectares of wildlife habitat. Save Linley Valley member Joanne Jonas-McRae said development has
begun at the site for a new 353-unit subdivision, raising concerns about further damage to the sensitive ecosystem. “We knew [development at the area’s seasonal pond] might happen, but to see it ... it’s just so upsetting,” Jonas-McRae said. “We will fight it till the end. We’ll go as far as we can.” The Save the Linley Valley West group started in 2011 and has col-

A fire was fortunately confined to the storage room of a townhouse after a light bulb ignited combustibles on the weekend. The minor blaze happened shortly before 7:30 p.m. Friday at a townhouse duplex on the 1600 block of Fuller Street after a resident retrieved some of her belongings from the storage room and stacked some combustible items over a light and forgot to turn it off when she left the room. Ennis Mond, Nanaimo Fire Rescue fire prevention officer, said the heat of the bulb eventually ignited a cardboard box and other items. Fire damage was confined to the storage room – which is located on the outside of the townhouse – and the woman’s belongings and spread minor smoke damage to an adjacent storage room. No one was injured and the resident is insured.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett denied reports that B.C. Hydro rates are poised to go up more than 26 per cent in the next two years. Bennett was peppered with questions Wednesday after one of B.C. Hydro’s unions released an internal B.C. Hydro document suggesting a 19-per cent rate increase next year and another six per cent the following year. The compounding effect would produce an increase of 26.4 per cent over two years. Bennett said the document was prepared for a ministry committee working with B.C. Hydro on electricity rates, and has been revised three times since the leaked version was created in August. He said the committee has found ways to reduce the rate increases needed to cover extensive construction and other costs for the utility, but he wouldn’t put a number on the prospective rate increases. The work includes identifying 19 independent power projects whose power purchase agreements are to either be cancelled or deferred. 2013

Joshua Willis immersed himself in Japanese culture for a year as part of the Rotary International Youth Exchange and describes it as a learning experience. He was in Kaisei town and Odawara city in the Kanagawa prefecture from August 2012 to this past July. Willis did some research into Japanese culture, but unfortunately, the information he had was a little outdated, so there was a bit more culture shock than anticipated. “I had lots of culture books that I read before I went but they were all from the ‘50s and ‘60s so when I went over there, things weren’t quite as polite. I’m like, ‘Oh! Someone littered. I didn’t know that anyone littered in Japan.’ There was no such notion in my head,” said Willis with a laugh, adding that he saw people speaking disrespectfully to older people, which also surprised him. Willis had to learn Japanese and while he thought he knew a bit, in hindsight, he didn’t know any of the language at all. He learned the language during his stay with five host families and the first family was interesting from a linguistic standpoint. “My host father was
a professor at the University of Tokyo and his specialty was European history, focusing in the region between France and Germany, so he spoke French and German fluently and he spoke English fairly well ... his wife, too, spoke a bit of French and German, not so much English, so it was a mix, we had the four languages (including Japanese) going at the same time,” Willis said. While he was learning Japanese, Willis also had to experience a number of different aspects of Japanese culture that he wasn’t necessarily expecting to take part in. “I wasn’t really into sports (in Canada) and one of my teachers got me into joining the judo club at school and so I was into that and I also joined the Sado club, the Japanese tea ceremony club, so I got to learn the culture through that as well,” Willis said. Willis’s year in Japan certainly left an impression on him. He says he is fairly fluent in Japanese now and can carry a conversation. He has plans to go back to Japan in January. He is working toward university through the North Island Distance Education School and has plans to take part in another exchange in university. “Vancouver Island University has

Rail display not designed for public u From /1 “I really want to move this onto more positive things, but I don’t want to get buried in silly red tape,” he said. “I think a lot of people are interested in [this project]. It’s not just pieces of something sitting in a museum, you can actually fire this thing up and take it out for a train ride. That doesn’t happen too often.” The train project reportedly came onto the regional district’s radar in 2011, after it received complaints about a replica mining railway. District staff members say the property isn’t zoned for a railway and its owner did not get development permits to construct the project. They sent letters to get more information about the project and issued a stop-work order, but staff members say they received no response. The issue was brought to a district committee of the whole meeting last week, where directors called for
the owner and staff to work together on a solution. Julian Fell, director of Area F, believes the push by staff for permits is a “bureaucratic impediment ... complex and burdensome.” The spread is like a museum and should be maintained, he said, adding that one day the property could become an interpretive centre. “I have a sense now [staff members] are going to get sensible and Mr. Roosen will make changes on the things of greatest concern,” he said. Joe Stanhope, district chairman, said there are safety concerns and the district must satisfy complaints, but thinks the property is “outstanding.” Roosen has slowly collected old pieces of equipment over the years as old mine sites were disturbed by logging and subdivision work. Twisted pieces of coal carts, iron bits and old railway ties have been found half-buried near South and East Welling-
ton where coal was once king, he said. He has a 1906 coal cart and a 1905 locomotive, which was found when the new Parkway was being punched through Jingle Pot. The only rules for his collection: “everything has to be at least 100 years old ... relevant to Island history [and] made to operate. I am not collecting a bunch of stuff that doesn’t work.” Much of the display is already complete. A ‘last spike party’ is expected next year. Roosen said the spread is not anticipated to be a public amusement park and feels the district has been out of bounds with its approach to regulating the building activity on site. He hopes all parties can work out concerns in a friendly way. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Greyhound bus depot moves to ferry terminal By Karl yu The News BulleTiN
Greyhound bus passengers in Nanaimo will soon embark and disembark near B.C. ferries. The coach bus operator announced that it will move from its current Terminal Avenue location behind the Howard Johnson Hotel to Departure Bay terminal. Ryan LaFontaine, a spokesman for Greyhound Lines Inc., said the Terminal Avenue station has served Greyhound well for many years but the move to the ferry terminal will be more convenient. It will share the location with inter-line partner Tofino Bus. “Our customers have been extremely supportive of this move, because the new location is in the heart of downtown Nanaimo, and provides an opportunity to connect Greyhound directly with the B.C. Ferries,” LaFontaine said. With the terminal recently upgraded and designed to specifically serve travellers, the partnership with B.C. Ferries service will improve Greyhound’s Nanaimo service, LaFontaine said. B.C. Ferries shared Greyhound’s sentiments. “As Greyhound already services the Departure Bay-Horseshoe Bay route, we believe this move will be very convenient for our customers waiting to take a Greyhound bus to another destination,” said B.C. Ferries spokeswoman Deborah Marshall in an e-mail. No official opening date was provided but both Marshall and LaFontaine estimated it would likely be sometime in October. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Fundraiser aids aspiring footballer

tEEN SuffErS from rare intestinal disease that required surgery. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
A
Nanaimo car dealership is hosting a fundraiser barbecue to help a boy and his family battle a serious illness. Khailnn Burdock, 14, has juvenile polyposis syndrome, a relatively rare, but serious disorder that causes polyps to grow in a person’s gastrointestinal tract. The polyps can cause gastrointestinal bleeding, anemia, abdominal pain and diarrhea, weight loss and a host of other unpleasant, painful and even life-threatening conditions. The disease is caused in about 75 per cent of cases by an inherited gene mutation. In Khailnn’s case it was passed down through his mother’s side of the family of which several members have or have had the disease. The polyps that form are usually benign growths, but there is about a 10 to 50 percent chance that they can turn cancerous. Khailnn started suffering symptoms when he was nine and was diagnosed with the disorder in 2012. In his case the polyps grew prolifically and rapidly, often a precursor

to colon cancer. Concerned Khailnn was at high risk for contracting cancer, doctors at B.C. Children’s Hospital opted in June to remove the majority of Khailnn’s large intestine. “He’s had a complete ileostomy,” said Maurice, Khailnn’s father. “That’s basically from the bottom of the lower intestine all the way to the rectum gone. He is one of 24 people in people in Canada with the disease.” For the past few months Khailnn has relied on colostomy bags, which B.C. Medical does
not cover, to collect his waste. Ten colostomy bags cost $132. Typically one bag lasts about three days. There are also costs for accessories, such as special tape and saline solution used for an incision from his operation that is still healing, plus antidiarrheal medications. “He has medication just so his food can stay in him longer,” Maurice said. Life is pretty far removed from what it was for the aspiring football star who helped his
team, the Barsby Bulldogs, win a provincial championship in 2012. He’s currently too weak to take on a lot of activity and he has lost a tremendous amount of weight compared to when he was a beefy offfensive lineman for the team. Once Khailnn’s condition stabilizes doctors plan to perform a reverse ileostomy, hopefully in October, after which he will no longer have to rely on colostomy bags. Even with the reversal procedure, for the rest of his life Khailnn will have difficulties with nutrition and hydration. What the family needs is enough financial help to help get them cover costs for medical supplies until the reversal procedure can be done. “I don’t have a number. Anything we can get will be a blessing,” Maurice said. Staff at Steve Marshall Ford Lincoln are doing what they can to to help out by teaming up with the Burdock family for a barbecue fundraiser Saturday (Sept. 21) noon to 4 p.m. at the dealership at 3851 Shenton Rd. The Burdocks with friends and supporters will be grilling up burgers during the dealership’s final day of its Round Up of Markdowns event, featuring the Showcase Showdown prize draw to give supporters a chance to win a mystery vehicle valued at more than $2,500. photos@nanaimobulletin.com
Liberal government criticized for lack of debate in legislature By Karl yu The News BulleTiN
With last week’s announcement that there won’t be a fall sitting of the B.C. legislature, members of the Opposition from Nanaimo are expressing displeasure. B.C. NDP MLAs Leonard Krog (Nanaimo), and Doug Routley (Nanaimo-Cowichan) said there are many issues to deal with and the B.C. Liberals should be held to account. “There are lots of things we could’ve dealt with; a new water act, we could’ve dealt with the pay hikes at B.C. Ferries – get their bonuses under control – a plan to deal with liquid natural gas and clearly, the changes
necessary for municipal financing and elections – spending limits and those kinds of things. They’ve been promised for the last three years and nothing’s happening,” said Krog. Routley highlighted education, noting that the province has slipped to having the lowest per-student funding in the country and learning conditions and support in classrooms, particularly for vulnerable students, has become diluted and reduced. He also noted that members of the legislative assembly in B.C. have only sat in the legislature for 36 days so far. “We feel it’s a real insult to the people of B.C. to imply that there’s no business that needs
to be done. Obviously there are huge issues facing our communities, including in Nanaimo, school issues that are driven by a lack of funding and a lack of attention from the government,” Routley said. B.C. Liberal member and Parksville-Qualicum representative Michelle Stilwell said the provincial government recalled the legislature immediately after the election, delivered a throne speech, passed a budget and had question period. She said there isn’t always a fall session and this year, the provincial Liberals want to focus on preparing for the February session and a new budget. “MLAs do most of their work
in their constituencies,” Stilwell said. “We have an open line to the ministers and to say that we’re not working when the legislature is not sitting is simply wrong. I think there’s important work to be done and MLAs are busy engaging British Columbians.” Stilwell pointed to the development of a new taxation structure for the liquified natural gas industry as something that the government will be working on. “MLAs around the province will be working very hard over the course of the next few months and the only thing we won’t be doing is passing more laws in Victoria,” she said. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

EDITORIAL
Light work duty for MLAs Out front of the big stone building in Victoria’s inner harbour is where people watch Symphony Splash, where tourists snap pics, where the annual marathon has its finish line and where concerts are held on Canada Day. The grounds of the legislature are busy, except as a place of work for our 85 elected provincial representatives. With another fall sitting cancelled, MLAs will have sat in the chamber for 36 days this year. It’s good work if you can get it. Cancelling legislative sessions has become the norm for the B.C. Liberals. House leader Mike de Jong has repeated the script four times now – he has announced the cancellation of the fall sitting in 2013, 2012, 2008 and 2006. Each time, the NDP opposition registered its outrage with the media, declaring the cancellation an abdication of democracy and accusing the Liberals of trying to avoid tough issues and questions. Premier Christy Clark points out the legislature sat in the summer after the spring election and that the government will get more work done not being in session. The government apparently can’t walk and chew gum at the same time. The province is facing big questions about the direction of its energy policy, the shrinking provincial budget surplus (or increasing deficit, depending on who you talk to), increasing B.C. Hydro rates and our role as a Pacific Rim economy. Other than promoting liquefied natural gas as a future cash cow, the Liberals’ priorities and agenda for the next four years remain unclear. For a full public accounting of our rising provincial debt and struggling budget, stay tuned – five months from now. Whether it’s the federal Conservatives proroguing Parliament or the B.C. Liberals cancelling sessions, senior government inaction serves only to perpetuate cynicism and promote alienation of the public from politics.

Dam risk remains
Relocate, don’t shoot poor bears
To the Editor,
Re: School board’s safety priorities misguided, Letters, Sept. 12. It is upsetting to witness what passes for truth from the lips and pens of supporters of maintaining the Colliery Dams. The letter writer maintained that the risk to life and property was now reduced. That is not true. Engineers have determined that the risk remains and council was ordered to produce a short-term risk management strategy. That does not fix the problem, it only provides for forms of emergency response should the dams breach. As for the school board’s role, the letter writer should know that the board of trustees were informed by council last October that the plan was to remove the dams, thus
To the Editor,
Re: Conservation officers kill cougar, bear, Sept. 12. After reading about the death of a cougar on Hammond Bay Road and also a bear in the south end of Nanaimo at the hands of conservation officers I was disgusted and so sad. These animals had harmed no one. Do these conservation officers have a crystal ball? Do they know for certain these animals will return? Relocation should be first and foremost, and the animals should be put down if all else fails. It must be wonderful to be a human animal with a license to kill.

Build incinerator over on mainland To the Editor,
Re: Let’s not trash incinerator plan just yet, Letters, Sept. 10. I agree with the letter writer that it is always wise to look at both sides of a situation and I see that he is suggesting that using Duke Point to help Vancouver manage their garbage problem may not be such a bad idea. He seems to accept the proponent’s claim that such a facility would be odourfree. Well, if in fact it is such a clean and stink-free operation, why not build in in or around Vancouver? The City of Vancouver wants to get it as far away as possible and the usual reason for NIMBY attitudes when it comes to garage incinerators is the odour problem. Let’s not fall for this scheme; let Vancouver deal with the problem it has created. After all, there will be no stink, right? Wayne Danard Nanaimo

removing the risk. Then the dam follies began and here we are with the continuing risk to 600 of our students, our staff, and the infants and toddlers and staff of Little Ferns Child Care Centre. Yes, those “piddly dams” could cause great loss of property and life thanks to this summer’s delays. The board watched anxiously until the hour for demolition passed and we responded with anxiety to council about the next steps. The board does not care what replaces the dams, only that they be removed as soon as possible. I hope there is more emphasis on truth and less on factless emotion as this issue is resolved.
GMO proponents don’t tell whole story To the Editor,
Re: GMO leaves a sour taste, Letters, Sept. 3. I was interested to read that Robert Wager, a laboratory demonstrator at VIU, supports GMO technology and that “all of the alleged dangers of GM crops and food have been analyzed by global experts and dismissed.” Which “global experts” would these be? The ones that either sharehold or work for Monsanto? To date, I’m unaware of any conclusive studies done that prove GMO food isn’t harmful to us. Why is it that during the rapid growth phase of GMO crop development, between 1992 and 2002, the U.S. Department of Agriculture spent $1.8 billion on biotech research and less than one per
cent of this on safety testing? Why is it that a U.S. proposition calling for labelling of GM food was defeated by companies that raised $45 million? These companies are, in part, Campbell’s, Kraft, Quaker Oats, Unilever, Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola and Nestle. Let’s get a more complete picture.

GMO comes with consequences To the Editor,
Re: Genetically modified crops safe, sustainable, Letters, Sept. 5. I am curious. Is Robert Wager a spokesman for the GMO consortium of Monsanto and company? I would love to know if he is also in favour of hiding the GMO ingredients so pervasive in
our foods, by discounting the value of GMO labelling. Wager fails to mention GMO is no longer welcome in Europe and that U.S.A. and Canada are the only two developed nations which do not have GMO labelling on food products. He fails to mention the plundering of South America and devastation of forests, to grow GMO crops. He doesn’t mention the consequences of breathing RoundUp. He doesn’t mention the buildup of glyphosate in the environment from a toxic herbicide building up in the soil and leaching into our water ways and our ground water. All he does mention is the buy words of the consortium, mere spin, misinformation and mythinformation. Our health, since inception of GMOs

Pot referendum a ‘kooky’ plan To the Editor,
Re: Pot activist signing up volunteers, Aug. 27. When I think of the word ‘volunteer,’ I associate it with doing a positive activity in the community. I do not associate it with this pothead activist Dana Larsen’s really kooky plan, which is the last thing we need here. We have got enough problems. Larsen is obviously not fully comprehending the negative side effects on the brain and the social and economic problems with smoking pot. Also, when the user no longer gets the buzz high, they turn to the next level of illegal drug to get it and become a junkie. If Larsen and his band of wannabe happy campers want their pot paradise, I suggest that they move to Gilligan’s Island. Al Munro Nanaimo

There are so many places to get mortgages? Why go with a mortgage broker?
KRISTA HENLEY & You’re right, there are several different options SHARON FAUCHON for those who are looking for a mortgage. Some of which are traditional banks, local credit unions, online companies and mortgage brokers. Some basic information about each is as follows…. Banks are well known, trustworthy, but many different people will work with you and they only have their limited set of products available to you and only offer their best rates to high net worth clients. Credit Unions are much the same as Banks. Online companies have high instances of fraud, they are usually full of fine print and false rate promises plus you never meet a person it’s all by phone or email especially not ideal for first-time homebuyers or anyone with questions. Mortgage brokers are local people who you can go to an office and meet and have a lasting business relationship with one person, we have access to 75+ different banks, credit unions & lenders to get you the best product for your needs and always the lowest rate for everyone. A mortgage broker is more personal than a large company and we work for you not the company who is lending you the money meaning we always have your best interest at heart and best of all our services are FREE to you, we are paid by the lenders!

Experts’ Advice ■ Mortgage Consultants

Like any stressor, we cannot always control the stress that we are exposed to, but stress reduction for back to school and for general health can be achieved by following 5 key points: • Good Food – take the time to plan ahead healthy lunches for work and school. Keep plenty of healthy snacks within reach. • Enough Sleep – most adults need 7-8 hours of sleep per night. Lack of sleep will make all other tasks for the day a challenge. • Exercise – the current recommendation is to obtain 40 minutes 5 times per week at a minimum. Join a fitness class or other activity to meet likeminded people. • Enthusiasm – provide an environment that focuses on the positives. Changing how you approach the day to one with enthusiasm can change the tone for the whole family. • Healthy Relationships – encourage healthy friendships. Be aware of who supports your goals and ideals. Good luck and good health as we head into this school year and fall!

autobody ‘Green Tips’ for your Vehicle
Alternate-fueled and hybrid vehicles are gaining market share but still account for a small percentage of vehicles on the road. So what’s an environmentally conscience consumer to do in GARRY ROGUSKI the meantime? Here are some tips to put you on the road to ‘green’: •Keep the engine running at peak performance-a misfiring spark plug can reduce fuel efficiency up to 30 percent. Replace filters and fluids as per your manual. •Today’s vehicles have much better tail pipe emissions. But a poorly running engine or faulty exhaust system will cause your vehicle to pollute more than it should. Don’t ignore that ‘Service Engine’ light. •Keep tires properly inflated and aligned to reduce the engine’s effort and, thus, gasoline consumption. What’s more, your tires will last longer too, saving you money and easing the burden at recycling centers. •Avoid speeding and sudden accelerations; both habits guzzle gas. When waiting for friends or family, shut off the engine. •Remove excess items from the vehicle including that roof-top luggage rack, since less weight means better mileage and less air drag.

bankruptcy
My husband died last month and Visa is demanding that I pay his GARETH SLOCOMBE, CA, CIRP credit card debt off right away. I can’t do this until his estate is settled. What should I do?
Unless you also signed for his Visa account, you have no personal responsibility to pay this bill. The debt is dealt with through the administration of his deceased estate. You should contact a lawyer dealing in wills and estates to discuss this issue. If the deceased estate is insolvent, namely that there will not be enough proceeds from the disposition of his property to pay all his creditors, the estate can be assigned into bankruptcy but a court order to do so will be required first. If there will be enough proceeds to eventually pay the Visa bill, it may be possible to pay it off before the estate administration is complete. Again, you should seek legal advice before doing so.

Something not to be overlooked is an eye examination. Good vision is critical to learning, since as much of 80% of learning is visual.

Normally one of two things: 1) Breaker fatigue, internal weakening of the circuit breaker causing it to trip before maximum load, or the breaker is doing what it was designed to do, interrupt the flow of current before it reaches a dangerous level. A 15 amp circuit is designed to allow a maximum continuous load of 1440 watts. 2) You may also have a short circuit. If the breaker trips immediately or if a flash or sparks are visible at the panel when you attempt to reset the breaker then this is the case.

All I can say to answer this question is that like anything else you purchase, there is maintenance. It is important to clean, wipe and not abuse your furniture. It is always your responsibility to take care of your investment. Outside of this, taking advantage of protection plans that are offered by your sales associate is a small investment to give you piece of mind to ensure any accidents that may happen will be taken care of for you.

A good signal to noise ratio is important for hearing impaired television viewers. Usually the sound from TV speakers must travel through the room to reach your hearing aid microphones but if the sound is brought closer, listening is made easier. If you have a wireless TV system, TV sound can be delivered directly through your hearing aids or to headphones. The distance factor is eliminated and the signal to noise ratio improved significantly. Many hearing aids are Bluetooth enabled and Bluetooth TV systems are compatible with many television models. In addition, Closed Captioning can be selected in your TV menu with your TV remote control. Many programmes have added this feature for severely hearing impaired viewers.

I need a couch that doubles as a spare bed but don’t want a hide a bed as they JOHN ROGERS are usually uncomfortable, I’m considering a futon but when I had one many years ago they were ugly, cheap and almost worse than a hide a bed. Futons have come a long way, they are no longer those ugly, cheap, hard, lumpy things that you have to kick and beat and fluff just to get them halfway comfortable! The futons we carry today are beautiful hardwood frames, available in 4 sizes, 3 different finishes and 1000’s of removable covers to choose from. While the frames are one of the very few things we carry that are imported (from Malaysia) the mattresses are all BC made. Check us out at www.johnsbedrooms.com

Experts’ Advice “Sciatica” is the term for an irritation of the sciatic nerve which runs from DR. KAREN MATTERN the buttocks down the back of the thigh to the knee, and sometimes down the calf to the heel. It’s commonly assumed that sciatica is caused by a disc herniation in the low back, but in the majority of cases this is not the cause. Disc herniations are not as common a source of back pain as was once thought. Irritation of the sciatic nerve is usually due to abnormal movement of spinal joints in the spine or tight muscles in the buttocks which lie across the nerve, most often due to pelvic misalignment or abnormal movement in the sacroiliac joints. Your chiropractor can determine the most likely cause of any leg pain. Most cases of sciatica respond well to chiropractic treatment. If you have sciatic pain, low back pain or leg pain, contact our office for an appointment at 250-758-7022 or email me at drkarin@shaw.ca

What counselling services do you offer to children and youth?
I offer counselling services for children and youth ANGELA SLADE, MA, RCC (ages 10-19) for a range of issues including anxiety, depression, bullying, school stress, cutting/self-harm, eating disorders, body image, and self esteem. I also work with children and youth who are being impacted by their parent’s separation or divorce. It is very common for children and youth to use behaviours instead of words to express what is happening inside of them. Sometimes these behaviours can be very troubling to parents and can include anger outbursts, nightmares, hyperactivity, withdrawal or isolation, peer conflicts, and so on. With over a decade of experience, I work with children and their parents, helping them understand what their child is actually trying to tell them with these behaviours, and then finding a way to relieve their distress and worries through art, and talk therapy. Older children (age 14 and up) are generally in control of their own counselling process, determining what level of involvement their parents will have and what information will be shared between parents/counsellor. If your child or youth is experiencing distress, parents can call and book a free 30-minute consultation to discuss if counselling is an appropriate option for your family.

A ‘worn out’ denture can have devastating TED CARSON effects that are often invisible and imperceptible to the denture wearer. Dentures are made of a hard, rigid material, but your face, mouth and jaw change over the years. The denture cannot adapt to the changes and the artificial teeth wear down with time. Some possible harmful effects suffered by wearers of old dentures include headaches, earaches, neck pain, TMJ problems and cracked or continually sore corners of the mouth. Dietary problems and difficult digestion can lead to overall health problems. More laborious chewing can cause softening of the gums which can mean irritation and pain and sometimes loose pliable tissues. Wearing dentures that are 10-15 years old inevitably causes permanent damage to the mouth. The longer you delay replacing your dentures, the more your appearance and comfort will be affected. Don’t take chances with your health! For personal, professional denture care contact Ted Carson at Carson Denture Clinic for a free consultation.

Where can I locate a new heat pump?
■ REALTOR
real estate Heat pumps are economical heating and air conditioning options for many new homes as well as an TIM WAIT upgrade to an existing home. However, many Nanaimo residents are finding out the hard way that installing a heat pump in the wrong place can be very costly. The City of Nanaimo’s Zoning Bylaw 2011 No. 4500 NUMBER 6.5.2 requires that “Heat pumps and central air condition units must be located to the rear of a principal building and shall not be closer than 4.5 meters from the side lot lines or closer than 3 meters from the rear property line”. If you or your installer feel you are unable to install a heat pump effectively within the area required by the Zoning Bylaw due to site conditions unique to your lot, you can apply for a variance through the City. Your installer should be aware of the Zoning Bylaw requirements, after all they are the professionals; if they are not aware, it is in your best interest to inform them about the City’s Bylaw requirements before you install your heat pump. You will save yourself a lot of frustration and extra expense if you site the heat pump correctly at Building Permit stage if you are building a new home and not to try and ask for forgiveness later. Feel free to contact me if you are unsure about where to install your heat pump; I would be glad to come to your home and assist you.

How can I make sure advertising will work for my company? Message: The essential first step in advertising is to figure out what message to send to your customers. Advertising is simply a way to send a message based on your marketing plan and sound business strategy. Repetition: An advertising campaign is a planned appeal to the client’s potential customers, using the power of repetition. The power of repetition reinforces the advertisers message. Consistency equates with familiarity, familiarity equates with confidence and confidence equates with sales.
I need to get Power of Attorney for my mother because I am told she is no longer capable. I am also told that she cannot be placed in TIAH M. WORKMAN a care facility when she leaves the hospital unless she has a Power of Attorney in place. Is this something that you can do?
If you have been told that you mother is already no longer capable, it is unlikely that she would be considered to have sufficient capacity to give instructions for a Power of Attorney. She may, however, have sufficient capacity to appoint a Representative under a Section 7 Representation Agreement. This document would allow you to look after routine financial and/or health care decisions and is appropriate for someone with less than full capacity. It would also be sufficient for the purposes of her being placed in a care facility. If she is unwilling to enter into a Representation Agreement and her mental capacity has definitely declined, you may wish to obtain the advice of a solicitor with a view to obtaining Committeeship of your mother’s affairs.

Spas, Saunas, Pools Pool & Hot Tub Filtration
One of the most important features to consider when looking for a hot tub, is its filtration and circulation system. Where the health of people using public or commercial pools or spas are concerned, the regulations are very clear, and so must the water be! Only pressurized filter systems can be installed in those aquatic facilities. Why? Because they are THE BEST! COAST SPAS, (available at CALAIS SPAS & BILLIARDS) is one of the few worldwide manufacturers offering pressurized filter systems. Where the health of you and your loved ones are concerned, you are best protected with a closed pressurized cyclonic filtration system of a COAST SPA. We have gained so many new customers that thought that cheaper spa was such a great deal, until they had water problems, or tried finding parts for them! Like most everything in life, the cheapest is not near the highest quality available, and ends up costing a lot more in the long term. At CALAIS SPAS, we have based our business on high quality products, at the lowest cost. Consumers truly appreciate being able to build their hot tub with exactly the features they desire. At CALAIS SPAS, you can!

Biosolids program earns recognition Six months after signing a three-party agreement to manage biosolids in the region, the Regional District of Nanaimo, Vancouver Island University and Sylvis Environmental received special recognition in the Pacific Northwest. The group won the 2013 Excellence in Management of Biosolids Award at the Northwest Biosolids Management Association conference in Chelan, Wash., on Sept. 9. The three parties signed a contract last March that spells out how roughly 4,000 tonnes – or 450 dump truck loads – of biosolids produced annually

at pollution control centres in Nanaimo and French Creek will be used for VIU’s biosolids fertilization project. “On behalf of the Excellence in Biosolids award review panel, it is an honour to recognize members that have taken the initiative to not only comply with regulations but to invest in creating a truly superb program model for others to follow,” said Maile Lono-Batura, executive director of the Northwest Biosolids Management Association. Biosolids are nutrient-rich, humus-like materials that result from the treatment of liquid waste.
Three of the 16-member Winnipeg Cops for Kids Bicycle Relay Team make the climb up Brechin Hill Road from the Departure Bay ferry terminal after arriving on the Island Friday morning. The team, which raises cash for Children’s Wish Foundation, was on the final leg of its 2,500-kilometre 2013 West for Wishes Ride to Tofino. CHRIS BUSH THe NewS BUlleTIN

With the start of school, B.C. Ambulance Service reminds parents and caregivers that teaching your child to call 911 and to know their home address is one of the most important things you can do to help keep your loved ones safe. “Even very young children can learn to call 911,” said Michal Fedeles, manager, learning design for the ambulance
24th Annual Fall
service. “It’s a good idea to talk to your children about calling 911 once a year. Fall is a good time because school starts and household routines change.” Talk to your children about emergencies. Speak calmly, in a reassuring manner about different kinds of emergency situations in your home, in the park or with friends. Questions are a good way
live from
to convey this. For instance, what would you do if someone faints? Tell children that 911 is a number to call for help when someone is in danger or not safe and that children can trust the person who answers a 911 call. Try role playing to build their confidence; ask them when they should call 911 or to point out emergency work-

ers in your community. Fedeles recommends starting with the basics when your child is three or four years old and revisiting the issue every year, as children become more mature and aware of their surroundings. “Children can grasp the concept of an emergency situation – whether someone is unresponsive from a fall or from fainting, if a fire starts or if someone is breaking into your home,” says Fedeles.

SUIT AND TIE Affair burlesque show on tap.
BY BETH HENDRY-YIM THE NEWS BULLETIN
TV show seeks travellers Convergent Entertainment is looking for nominations for the second season of Operation: Vacation, a travel series that surprises selfless people with the trip of a lifetime. Nominees must be Canadian citizens. To enter, send an e-mail of no more than 250 words to casting@ convergent entertainment.tv and explain why the nominee deserves a dream vacation. Applications should include photos. “Operation: Vacation is more about the journey than the destination, so we want to hear their stories, the struggles and successes that make these people so deserving of a dream vacation,” said Nicky Forsman, series director.
Nanaimo exposes its classier side in a suit-andie burlesque affair at the new Voodoo Lounge. Ruby Soda, hostess and producer of the show, said the evening will be reminiscent of the cabaret scene of the 1920s with all the glamour and glitz and an added dose of hot and sizzling. “There will be boas, feathers, white gloves and a hint of the Moulin Rouge,” she added. Performers of the neoburlesque-revival include Gabriola Island’s Skandal Anna, Lalani Electrica, Roxy Lee, Poke A Hotness and a new talent from Vancouver, Goldie Luxe. “It’s like the theatre,” said Soda. “Each girl has her own character and performance styles. Their stories are funny, kitschy and loaded with tease and reveal classics.” Previously a favourite at the Rendezvous downtown, the production

needed a new location when the restaurant closed last summer. The
new venue above the Millstone Eatery and Catering, behind the How-
ard Johnson, provides a larger space and more opportunity for expanding the show. At one time known as the Grizzly Bar, the new retro Voodoo Lounge will serve a dual purpose, providing a private lounge for rentals and catering as well as intimate evening events. Darcie Callsen, floor and event manager, said she is excited to be opening the space once again and giving it a new personality and classier feel. “It’s a great space we’re turning in to a show lounge,” she said. “We’ve got Ruby this month and starting in October we’ll be hosting a regular blues show.” Tapas and full bar service will be available for the burlesque performance. And Callsen will be introducing the Voodoo lounge signature cocktail. The show is set for Saturday (Sept. 21). Doors open at 7 p.m., with the show beginning at 8 p.m. Tickets can be purchased in advance at the Millstone Eatery or through Ruby Rocket Productions for $15 or $20 at the door. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

story of two Inuit communities of the circumpolar north. Navarana, an Inuit elder and descendant of the shaman, draws inspiration and hope from the ties that still bind the two communities to face the consequences of rapid social and environmental change. The Hunt, on the screen Nov. 3-4, is reviewed as one of the most troubling and powerful cinematic
experiences of the year. The director mercilessly reveals the hypocrisy behind some of his country’s most cherished social ideals. The Sapphires, Nov. 17-18, is described as a wildly entertaining musical comedy based on the 2004 Australian play inspired by the true story of the playright’s mother and aunt, who sang in an all-aboriginal female soul
quartet that entertained American troops during the Vietnam War. Fringe Flicks series is screened at Avalon Cinema on Sundays at 1, 4 and 7 p.m., and Mondays at 7 p.m. Season subscriptions are still available for $101 for 10 films. Single tickets $12.

YOUR WEEKLY HOROSCOPE:
UP TO SEPT. 16th, 2013 Aries
Taurus
Gemini
Cancer
Leo
Virgo
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, the week ahead is looking pretty good, as you will find people are more sensitive to your needs. Work with those willing to work with you.
Libra
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, your visions of how things should be might differ from how things really are. Work toward improving those things that need some work, and things will turn out just fine. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Some surprises come your way this week, Gemini. But things will soon begin to fall into place. Just be patient before you make important decisions. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Things may seem a bit strained this week, Cancer. But all it takes is a little cooperation and an increased focus on teamwork, and things will quickly return to normal.
Scorpio
Sagittarius
Capricorn
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, stay prepared and well organized and this week should fly by without a hitch. Feel free to try some things that go against the grain.
Aquarius
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, don’t feel badly about the things over which you have little control. Go out and have a good time this week, and eventually things will run their course.
Pisces
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, it may prove challenging to sit still the next few days. People may be pulling at you from many different directions, and you will not know which way to lean. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, try not to be overly protective of your secrets this week. A friend or family member is offering their help and guidance, and such insight will prove invaluable. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, a seemingly insurmountable obstacle presents itself this week. Some creativity and quick thinking will be necessary, but you will enjoy the challenge. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Keep your feet on the ground this week, Capricorn. Even if you prefer to have your head in the clouds, keeping your cool will pay dividends in the long run. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, enjoy some quiet time so you can regroup after a hectic couple of weeks. You earned some rest and relaxation, and this time away will recharge your batteries. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, you have a lot of good ideas, and it’s time to share those ideas at the office. Your star will soon start to rise.

Raiders rise above Rams into first place I V.I. WINS 41-27 against Langley at Caledonia. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
The V.I. Raiders have surged to the top of the standings. Nanaimo defeated the Langley Rams 41-27 on Saturday at Caledonia Park to take over first place in the B.C. Football Conference. “It’s a high point in our season…” said Nigel Henry, V.I. linebacker. “We have confidence in ourselves and confidence in each other. It’s basically just trusting our brothers beside us so we can come out with a victory in every game.” The game played out quite differently from the previous weekend’s win. This time, the Raiders came out with a pass-happy offensive GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN scheme. “We spread it out, we V.I.

Unbeaten Clippers improving The Nanaimo Clippers can’t be beat so far, and what’s more, they’re getting better. The Clips doubled up the Alberni Valley Bulldogs 4-2 on Friday at Port Alberni to move to 3-0 to start the B.C. Hockey League season. Nanaimo came out with a fast start in the game but took a couple of quick penalties and surrendered a five-on-three power-play goal late in the first period. An unlucky bounce in the first minute of the second period and they were down 2-0. “ We s h o w e d s o m e resiliency,” said Mike Vandekamp, the team’s coach. “To stick with it and come back was good.” Devin Brosseau had a goal and two assists to lead the comeback and Brendan Taylor, Korey Morgan and Ryan Forbes also scored. Liam McLeod got his first start of the season in goal and made 40 saves. The coach said the Clippers showed improved systems play. “Just a little bit more understanding, for sure,” said the coach. “Certainly not the perfect game by any stretch, but still, I think we played better.” GAME ON … The Clippers host the Victoria Grizzlies on Friday (Sept. 20) at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena.

Westwood’s royalty runs really fast On a misty morning by the mountain, Nanaimo’s fastest runners emerged from the fog to finish in record time. Winner Peter Oxland and nearly 300 others made the Run for the Mountain a success Saturday at Westwood Lake Park. The 16-year-old Prince of Westwood set a youth record for the course, finishing the six kilometres in 20 minutes, 56 seconds. It was the first time that a runner in the youth
division won the whole race. “I honestly didn’t know how it was going to go,” Oxland said. “I was just trying to have a good run.” It helped that he had some friends hot on his heels, as his Dover Bay cross-country teammates Anthony Serban, Miles Huynh, Thomas Oxland and Christopher Serban all finished in the top 10. Also setting a record on Saturday was Erin Burrett, who won Queen of Westwood for a
fifth-straight year. Her time of 21:53 knocked a minute and a half off the ladies’ record that she set a year ago. Royd Burkart won the masters division in a record time of 21:16 and Wendy Simms set a female masters record of 24:51. Shelby Drope won the adult men’s division in 21:00 and Madison Heisterman won among female youths in 24:53. For a photo of the winners and top-50 results, visit www. nanaimobulletin.com/sports.
Soccer M’s win at home Vancouver Island University’s soccer teams both went undefeated in their home-turf debuts. The Mariners men’s and women’s sides each earned a win and a draw this past weekend in Pacific Western Athletic Association action at Merle Logan Field. The men defeated the Langara Falcons 2-1 on Saturday and then tied the Quest Kermodes 1-1 on Sunday. The women tied Langara 1-1 and beat Quest 2-1. Ben Robson scored both goals for the VIU men Saturday in the first half. The Falcons made it 2-1 late in the first half on a penalty kick. Mateo Kostering scored Sunday in the 65th minute and it looked as though the goal would hold up as the game winner, but the Kermodes headed one into the M’s net in the dying seconds of injury time. “[We] are starting to show signs of jelling together as a team and playing for each other,” said Bill Merriman, the team’s coach, in a press release. In women’s action, Carli Rey scored a

Proposed “INTER-COMMUNITY BUSINESS LICENCE BYLAW 2013 NO. 7176”
The Council of the City of Nanaimo hereby gives notice, in accordance with Section 59 of the Community Charter, of an opportunity for citizens and businesses to make representation to Council with respect to the proposed “INTER-COMMUNITY BUSINESS LICENCE BYLAW 2013 NO. 7176”. The purpose of this Bylaw is to create one business licence fee for qualified mobile businesses doing business in one or more participating municipality; thereby eliminating the need for businesses to purchase separate business licences for each municipality in which they operate. As an example, if a contractor is based in Nanaimo, the contractor is required to have a Nanaimo Business Licence; currently, if the contractor wished to do business in Parksville or Qualicum, the contractor would need to also purchase business licences in each of these municipalities. Under the proposed bylaw, a business would still purchase a Nanaimo Business Licence, but would only have to purchase one additional licence at a cost of $150.00 which would licence a business to also do work in all participating municipalities. The proposed bylaw is scheduled to proceed to Council for their consideration at their Regular Meeting to be held at the Shaw Auditorium (Council Chambers) at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre on Monday, 2013-OCT-07, at 7:00 p.m. Delegations requesting permission to speak to “INTER-COMMUNITY BUSINESS LICENCE BYLAW 2013 NO. 7176” at the 2013-OCT-07 Council Meeting are required to submit a written request to the Legislative Services Department by 1:00 pm on Wednesday, 2013-OCT-02. Applications to appear as a Delegation can be found on the City’s Website at www.nanaimo.ca. The proposed bylaw, in its entirety, can be found on the City’s website (www.nanaimo.ca) and is available for viewing in person at the Service and Resource Centre (SARC) Development Counter located at 411 Dunsmuir Street. For more information about the proposed “INTER-COMMUNITY BUSINESS LICENCE BYLAW 2013 NO. 7176” please contact Nelda Richardson, Manager Development Support Services & Business Licencing (250) 755-4448

Tour fundraising a team effort Charla Huber Black Press
Training for the Tour de Rock may be more daunting than the actual tour, but riders Donna Fraser and Mike Oliver are gearing up for the challenge. And both riders are thrilled their spouses are so supportive. Learning to clip into peddles on a bicycle was the first skill novice rider Donna Fraser learned for the 2013 Tour de Rock. “I’d never clipped into peddles before, it took a tumble or two to get it, but I don’t think I will go back now,” she said. The West Shore RCMP auxiliary constable is no stranger to the tour, – her husband, West Shore RCMP Const. Rod Fraser, was a tour rider in 2011. “As an alumni rider I can come out on the training rides,” Rod said. “It’s really neat to see her doing it.” Rod trains with the team whenever he isn’t working. “He’s awesome to have supporting me, especially knowing he’s done it before,” Donna said. “He has helped me tremendously and he’s been an awesome support.” Before being accepted for the Tour team, neither Fraser nore Donna were avid cyclists, but the couple has found a passion for cycling and say it’s something they will continue to do together after the Tour. “I know what she’s going through as far as training is going,” Rod said. “Right now they are training her for the physical aspects but nothing can prepare you for the emotional part. For me it was very emotional.”
Tour de Rock team members Sgt. Mike Oliver, military police, and West Shore RCMP auxiliary officer Donna Fraser have found strong fundraising support from their spouses. Arnold Lim/News staff
Meanwhile, Sgt. Mike Oliver is happy to have a stable posting at CFB Esquimalt as a military police officer. A 16-year military veteran who joined the police in 2002, he has spent much of career deployed overseas, including hotspots like Bosnia and Afghanistan. This year he joined the tour as he was fortunate enough to be in the country and was eager to take part. “I’ve spent a lot of my time deployed and I have been helping people abroad,” Oliver said. Oliver’s wife Tracey has been
instrumental in his fundraising. “This has been for her as much of a journey as it’s been for me,” he said. “She’s been on board with every fundraiser. She’s been in the dunk tank and done car washes.” Mike’s fundraisers have been so successful he reached his initial goal of $5,000 months ago. He doubled his goal to $10,000 and just surpassed that one too. Oliver has always led an active lifestyle through running, going to the gym and playing hockey. This is the first time he’s ever spent so much time training on a bike.
“Riding in a group setting isn’t the same as just riding on the road. You really have to pay attention to what you are doing,” he said. The 2013 Tour de Rock team began training in March and has trained hard three days a week working on hills, speed and distance training. Originally from Ottawa, training for the Tour has been a way for Mike to explore Greater Victoria and have a chance to see Vancouver Island tip-to-tip. “I’ve never been past Courtenay,” he said. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Salvation Army assists those in need

T
he Salvation Army in Nanaimo recently celebrated its 125th anniversary, meaning it not only has existed for 125 years but has assisted Nanaimoites in need during that time as well. Dawne Anderson, fundraising and promotions coordinator for Nanaimo’s Salvation Army, said that the contemporary Nanaimo corps assists the needy through a variety of programs and services, including community-based food programs and addiction services such as Alcoholic Anonymous meetings. Getting a haircut, taking care of aches and pains of the body and preparing taxes during tax season might be out of reach for those in need but thanks to a Salvation Army program, it need not be as barbers, chiropractors and people versed in income tax preparation volunteer
their services. “One of the most successful endeavours in recent years is the introduction of the Professional Giving Back program,” Anderson said. “These services are the result of professionals in their field who generously give of their time and expertise. At first services were offered on a first-come, first-served basis but the response was so great that we had to schedule appointments. These appointments are set up in such a way that all clients have fair access.” The Salvation Army opened its New Hope Centre in 2007, which offers emergency shelter beds for adult males and shower facilities for males and females. People using the centre have access to three meals a day and laundry facilities. Meals are also provided for lowincome families. “As a result [of the centre opening], residential programs became available to those struggling with homelessness or are at risk of being homeless,” Anderson said. “The kitchen staff at the New Hope Centre are amazing. The meal program operates [year-round] and meals are
based on Canada’s Food Guide and we provide 75,000 nutritious meals a year.” Anderson said the Salvation Army Thrift Stores generate money to finance its community services and she pointed to two thrift store programs that assist with this. “The thrift stores have expanded to include a recycled metal program at the Bowen Road store and this has increased much-needed funds,” Anderson said. “Also, the thrift store has a new program in which an individual can donate an old vehicle and receive a tax donation. Mid-Island Towing has partnered with the thrift store to pick up vehicles.” As for which of the Nanaimo Salvation Army programs is most important, Anderson said it’s impossible to choose. “To a mother receiving an emergency food hamper, to her that is the most important program. To the client who is able to access a residential treatment program, addiction services is the most important,” Anderson said. “All programs have one unifying goal – to assist those in need.”
Happy Anniversary!

The local corps celebrated its 125th anniversary on May 15, having formed as an organization in 1888. The first church was built on Nicol Street in 1893 and is still in use today – Anderson said the building has played a significant role in the expansion of programs and services offered through the decades. “During [the Second World War], the Nanaimo corps ran a Red Shield Centre across from the former city hall – it could sleep up to 100 people. When the soldiers first arrived at the base near Vancouver Island University, there were not enough huts ready to house them. Tents were pitched but proved inadequate so the soldiers were housed at the Red Shield Centre until more huts were built.” She said that an annex was built beside the church on Nicol Street in 1943 to handle the overflow from Wallace Street, which provided an additional 75 beds. The annex was closed in July 1945 and the Red Shield Centre closed the fol-

lowing March. The Nicol Street church was renovated in 1953, which allowed for an increase in the number of ways the building could be used and it was the infancy of the local Salvation Army’s meal program, which now provides 75,000 meals a year. “The upgrades in 1953 enabled the Salvation Army to operate a very small soup kitchen. Daily, [there was] a large vat of soup bubbling away on a two burner stove,” Anderson said, adding that grant in 1993 from the City of Nanaimo allowed the kitchen to be upgraded to an industrial kitchen. “Each day, the kitchen distributes baked items to clients. These items are collected daily from bakeries and grocery stores. Kitchen staff also prepare traditional Christmas dinners delivered by volunteers on Dec. 24 to over 100 seniors who are alone at Christmas,” she said. The Salvation Army Thrift Shops have seemingly been around for just as long as the Salvation Army itself, but Anderson said it has only been 50 years, with the anniversary taking place this year. u Continued /35

HELpING OTHERS and the church is at the core of life for Dawne Anderson. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
Ask Salvation Army envoy Dawne Anderson why she does the work she has devoted most of her life to and she’ll tell you it’s not hard to sell what you do when you’re selling something you believe in. In the 18 years since Anderson came to Nanaimo she has become the face of local fundraising for the church. Fundraiser kick-off breakfasts, Christmas kettle drives, golf tournaments – if it’s an event or program to raise cash for food, clothing and housing for Nanaimo’s people in need, Anderson is there driving the effort. “It’s because I work for an organization that has a positive ... I don’t know that I’d talk about it as a cause ... but it’s something people believe in and so it’s not hard to sell what you do,” Anderson said. Her devotion goes beyond a life-long commitment. She’s an army brat, so to speak, the fifth generation of her family, on her mother’s side, dedicated to the Salvation Army. Prior to coming to Nanaimo she was pastor of the Salvation Army church in White Rock where, with her former hus-
band, also a pastor, she oversaw most there,” Anderson said. “They wouldn’t of the church’s community programs, understand because they would stack thrift store operations and preached the their shelves with Listerine – they Christian gospel. sold them for, like, a $1.30 a bottle or When Anderson’s marriage fell apart something – and they would go off the in 1995 she moved to Nanaimo with her shelves.” two children and took over as commuThey pulled the product when Andernity services director here, overseeing son explained the men would drink it to the meals program, get intoxicated. family services, food Sadly, all of the Lisbank and fundraising terine Boys have died, out of the old 19 Nicol but Anderson’s favouSt. building. rite was Brian.

the singing, the choruses, and I’d be telling these guys – huge, big, burley guys – to stand up and sing and clap their hands,” Anderson said. People outside of that experience would caution Anderson that the inmates – some serving life sentences for serious crimes – could be dangerous and she should be careful. “Why? So they can’t sing or clap?” she said. “To me they were people.” Anderson empathizes with struggling single mothers and the difficulties and frustration they’d go through in the courts wrestling with divorce, custody and child support issues. “I had to got sit in the courthouse with all my clients and as the judge was calling my name and my ex’s name up to go through the deadbeat dad syndrome of him not paying child support,” Anderson said. “That was the most humbling experience of my life. All my clients see me in that situation – I didn’t wear my uniform that day, but they knew who I was – but God just sort of allowed me to go through those situations to give me that experience to be able to use it to help others.” Those experiences also provide the drive for Anderson to raise money to help others. “I know that the money I raise is helping others,” she said. “If it didn’t then I don’t think I would be able to do it – if I knew that it wasn’t helping people in need.”

Nanaimo corps assists in disaster relief u From /34 “In March 1963, the former telephone building at 76 Bastion was purchased to house a small shelter for men, sleeping quarters for sailors on shore leave, a thrift store and a tiny apartment for a family who was responsible for the operation,” Anderson said. The operation has expanded and currently there are three thrift stores in Nanaimo. Anderson said the proceeds pay for the Salvation Army’s support programs and services and it also provides customers good, quality, affordable items. She said the Nanaimo corps has assisted in times of disaster throughout the past 125 years as well. “When the 1960 fire blazed through the remaining two blocks of Chinatown, the corps provided
temporary accommodations and meals to those who were left homeless until other accommodations could be found,” she said. “In 1964, when the tidal waves from an Alaskan earthquake hit Port Alberni, the Nanaimo corps was there helping out as well as serving coffee to the rescue workers.” The Nanaimo corps was also able to purchase an emergency response vehicle, a Ford E350, due to an anonymous donation 15 years ago and the Nanaimo Crisis Unit was formed, according to Anderson. Nanaimo is now part of the Salvation Army Disaster Division and responds to emergencies across B.C. The vehicle is a kitchen on wheels, and in the 2009 Duncan floods, provided meals and coffee to workers and families that were affected. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com
