h e a t re O n e ’s b i g g e s t annual fundraiser is poised to give people something to chew on with the 21st annual Bite of Nanaimo. The event happens at the Beban Park Social Centre Friday (Oct. 18) to raise cash for TheatreOne operations and the Salvation Army. New to this year’s bite are Cherub Chocolates, Browns Socialhouse, Corner Bistro, Millstone Catering and Eatery, Simon Holt and the Oxy Pub. The Oxy Pub will be sure to bring its wings, which were voted best in town in the News Bulletin’s 2013 Best of the City awards. Roberta Cooper, of the Oxy, said the pub is currently working hard to promote its food menu. “With us winning the best wings

in Nanaimo, I thought this was a really good way for us to get out there and get known for it,” Cooper said. “It’s fun to take the opportunity and see if it works for us.” The Oxy is also preparing a big batch of its New England clam chowder and plenty of ribs. “They’re both made in house with our own recipes,” Cooper said. “The chowder is hearty and the ribs are awesome. It’s one thing on the menu that not a lot of people know about.” Wolf Brewing Company, Vancouver Island University professional baking program, Rawmbas, Richardson Foods Group, Acme Food Co., Baby Salsa Mexican Restaurant, Montana’s Cookhouse, Landlubber Pub, Longwood Brew Pub, Winston’s Tea Company and the Dinghy Dock Pub are just some of the eateries returning with goodies this year.

*Includes ✔5L 5W30, 10W30, 5W20 oil and filter. Diesels & synthetics extra. Shop supplies & enviro levy extra. Offer expires Oct. 31, 2013

The pub won best booth last year, with its half-boat display, as well as best seafood and best hospitality categories. Chef Cory Crane said in the four years the Dinghy Dock has participated, staff have worked out the logistics of getting food and equipment from the pub to Beban using a dedicated ferry to move refrigeration and other equipment first, followed by the seafood which is shipped frozen in insulated containers. With seafood it’s critical the “cold chain” isn’t broken. “We’re the only restaurant to bring our own refrigeration with us,” Crane said. Dinghy Dock’s menu this year includes a coconut curry seafood trio appetizer of seared scallops, jumbo prawns and steamed mussels topped with curry sauce and served on rice. u See ‘FUNDRAISER’ /6

The blueprints for a brand-new Nanaimo District Secondary School are just a blank sheet of paper right now, which means anything is possible. The Nanaimo school district announced last week it has begun its master planning process for the NDSS site. The district’s 10-year facilities plan calls for the high school to be rebuilt in time for the fall semester in 2017. The school district hired a planning firm, Brook Pooni Associates, and Cornerstone Architecture – both based out of Vancouver – to work with staff over the next eight months to create a vision for a new NDSS. The school board has already submitted its capital plan to the Ministry of Education, including a request for $62 million for the new secondary school. “We’re hoping that by doing a comprehensive site development plan, we can convince the ministry to fund it,” said Jamie #81

Brennan, board chairman. NDSS sits on a larger parcel of school district property and is adjacent to city land and Vancouver Island University, so there are opportunities for creative thinking. “We really want this to be a true partnership with stakeholders, because we can’t afford to do it all ourselves for one thing, and we want this site to be multi-use in all aspects…” Brennan said. “The potential is quite huge for that site to really serve this community well.” Vancouver Island University, for example, has long desired a new gymnasium, so a massive construction project right next door is an impetus to try to make that happen, said Dan Hurley, VIU’s executive director of university relations. “A new athletics facility with a health and wellness component is one of our top capital priorities,” he said. “So certainly it makes a lot of sense for us to be talking to the school district about that particular project.” He mentioned a trades building as another possible co-operative effort, but stressed that all of these ideas are just preliminary discussions at this stage. u See ‘SCHOOL’ /4

have an approval role in that.” Lindsay also confirmed that trapping was taking place on property that is not under development. “The general public was sending us e-mails saying that it was happening

on the property that was under development at 5701 Vanderneuk Rd., which it’s not. It’s a different property with a different property owner,” Lindsay said. The trapping season for beaver on the Island is Oct. 1 to April 30.

Nanaimo-Alberni MP retiring after 13 years By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN

After 13 years as NanaimoAlberni Conservative MP, James Lunney has decided to call it a day. Lunney announced his decision to not seek re-election in 2015 during a press conference held at his constituency office in north Nanaimo Friday morning. Lunney based his decision on one made by the B.C. Boundary Commission to split the Nanaimo-Alberni riding, based on population growth, prior to the next federal election. “It will take the 50,000 people from Lantzville – right next door to us here – north Nanaimo and append it to south Nanaimo and Ladysmith and it’ll peel the north side of the riding and the west side and attach it to Courtenay,” Lunney said. He said the shift means it will force him to divert his attention away from a constituency base he has served since he was first elected in 2000, so he is better off to complete his mandate for the remainder of his term by continuing to focus on the constituents currently within the Nanaimo-Alberni riding and leave the door open for others to seek election in the reconfigured ridings. Lunney denied that he is

I made a position because I am concerned about the effectiveness of managing the entire coast from two centres.” He also said his decision might free him to focus on issues that are of particular interest to him, such as a cost effective and sustainable health-care system. “So, you know, I will continue to carry the voice from this region to Ottawa and to the best of my ability to represent people’s interests and we will do our very best to be effective with the tools and skills that are available,” Lunney said. Lunney said he looks forward to spending a little more time enjoying the Island lifestyle. “I’m hoping whatever the future holds beyond two years from now that it will include more time on the Island and perhaps getting more time in a kayak or a canoe and out in the woods like so many of you prefer to enjoy as well on this beautiful Island that we call home and have come to love,” he said.

it’s a challenging time to govern in any capacity. stepping aside because of recent criticisms and controversies surrounding the Harper government and the Senate. “I’d have to say that we’ve waded through a lot,” Lunney said. “It’s a challenging time to govern in any capacity. People are restive. The world is unstable. The economy’s unstable and I think that makes people unsettled in a lot of different ways. Of course, we’re all disappointed with what’s happened in the Senate and abuse of taxpayers’ money and, of course, changes have already been made, but that will work itself out.” Lunney has had his differences with decisions made in Ottawa, especially over cutbacks of coast guard stations on the B.C. Coast, but his position was not a factor in his decision to not seek reelection. “I made that decision because I actually know more about the MCTS [Marine Communications and Traffic

B.C. Ferries LED sign blocked by residents I coRPoRATIoN fAIlEd to properly consult with nearby homeowners. By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN

Concerned Brechin Hill residents have temporarily blocked B.C. Ferries’ bid to install two LED signs at the Departure Bay terminal. Nanaimo city council halted the approval process on two LED information signs for Departure Bay ferry terminal last week, after residents highlighted issues of poor consultation, blocked views and reduced property values. B.C. Ferries is looking to install new displays to better communicate ‘operational and safety’ messages with drivers that can’t always hear public announcements. Jason Bowman, director of terminal operations, said the move is about customer service, but stressed the signs will also be respectful to neighbours. Residents aren’t all convinced. A 14-metre tall, freestanding sign is planned for an area directly behind homes, which could block waterfront vistas and spoil backyard enjoyment. And yet there has been very little effort by B.C. Ferries to consult with homeowners, they say. B.C. Ferries confirmed it knocked on the doors of five homeowners that could be disturbed by the LED lights – its primary concern – but only two people were available at the time. Beach Drive resident Daniel Lines said he lives 150 metres from the proposed sign, which is “basically the size of a carport,” and would block a vista he’s held for close to two decades. The first he heard about the project was two weeks ago when he received a notice from the City of Nanaimo. “B.C. Ferries never once tried to contact us in any way and we are probably the closest to the sign ... I find that very, very difficult to take,” he said, adding

that he wants to see a new plan that doesn’t impede waterfront views. Since September, Nanaimo city officials have been considering a development variance permit for twin displays at Departure Bay ferry terminal that are larger than the city’s allowable limit. The animated LED signs would be placed on the terminal loading ramp and near vehicle waiting lanes. Last Monday, councillors heard concerns from area residents, prompting them to put the brakes on permit approval and direct B.C. Ferries to meet with the Brechin Hill Community Association. Tina Mark, a Beach Drive resident, is pleased B.C. Ferries could be going back to the drawing board. She said she found out about the project just over a week ago, which raised suspicions B.C. Ferries was trying to slide the project by. It could have handed out information booklets or put out newspaper notices earlier, she said. Instead “they have gone about it very ninja.” The Beach Drive resident is also concerned about the brightness and size of the structure. “It’s almost three times the height of the allowable bylaw,” Mark said. “I know the ferry terminal was here before we were, but we bought here for a reason – so we didn’t have neighbours behind us and so we had a view of the water. Now we are going to have a view of the sign?” Michael Harrison, chairman of the Brechin Hill Community Association, will revisit communication options with B.C. Ferries over the next 30 days before city officials reconsider the application. He said the size and glare of the one free-standing sign will affect many more residents than those B.C. Ferries previously attempted to contact and hopes to now see work done to hear citizens’ worries and ideas for solutions. “Let’s find out what’s good for the [area] generally and the people directly impacted,” Harrison said. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Tom Hickey, general manager of community services, said the city needs to know how the new NDSS will interface with the Nanaimo Aquatic Centre. The municipality would also be interested in talking about opportunities for public amenities at the site. “I think at the end of the day, it will probably provide benefit to not only This is NDSS, not only the tremendously school board, but the community as a exciting for whole,” Hickey said.

Brennan anticipating some “pretty wide-ranging” discussions over the coming months, and said people shouldn’t jump to any conclusions, “because we’re a long way from having any conclusions.” But a blank blueprint is a start. “We’ve sort of been stagnant for some time, since the former facilities plan was turned down by the former board,” Brennan said. “This is tremendously exciting for me because I’d like to see things happen.”

ing activities and different community organizations,” Lott said. The board of directors have been chosen. Now the board has the task of gathering up 3,200 volunteers to help run the games. Lott admits there will be challenges, one of which will be finding accommodations and enough foam mattresses for 3,200 competitors. The school district is offering its schools to bunk athletes, but some facilities in the Cedar area might not be available after the end of the 2013-14 school year. Finding adequate transportation to move thousands of participants to venues each day will pose its own hurdles. Vehicles needed to transport participants over the weekend of the Surrey 2012 games briefly became the fourth-largest transport fleet in the province. City councillor Diana Johnstone was operations manager for 1985 and 2002 and said one thing Nanaimo won’t likely have a challenge with is finding volunteers. In both previous

games residents were eager to participate and she expects 2014 to be no different. Feeding all those participants is one of the biggest challenges. Roughly 50,000 meals will be prepared and served during the four days of the games. “To ensure all the nutritional needs are met and to prepare that many boxed lunches in a day and healthy breakfasts, that’s a huge, huge job,” Johnstone said. Base funding to the tune of $600,000 for the games will come chiefly from the province through the B.C. Games Society. The city will provide $5,000 in cash plus in-kind services through use of facilities and staff. Corporate partners, local businesses and industry will also give cash and in-kind goods and services.

We have a three-play, mainstage season and we really want to stay in the black and keep going and present that year after year.We haven’t had three plays in our main stage season since 2001.” Event tickets are $15 each and only 900 are available by advance sales only. Once inside, food and drink tickets sell for $1 each, with bites costing 1-4 tickets. Last year TheatreOne also started donating 50 cents from the sale of each event entry ticket to a local food bank. For 2013 the Salvation Army is the beneficiary.

Supportive housing project slowly earning acceptance

grouNd SET to break on construction. By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN

The once-controversial Uplands supportive housing project is anticipated to break ground this week without much push back. Building operator Pacifica Housing will officially launch construction on its 33-unit northNanaimo complex tomorrow. It has been two years since the B.C. government announced the site as part of its $34-million strategy to perma-

make the complex successful. The project has also won over Bill Inglis, one of of the most outspoken critics of the project and former spokesman of the Concerned Citizens, who says he’s no longer as concerned about the initiative thanks to ongoing consultation. “[The groundbreaking] is a milestone to celebrate ... there is no reason to believe it will be anything but a celebratory and positive event,” French said.

nently house Nanaimo’s homeless and mentally ill population. The move sparked community-wide controversy and became a top election issue for resident groups like the Concerned Citizens of Nanaimo, which debated the merits of locating the city’s homeless in a residential neighbourhood. Now with construction set to start, Pacifica’s executive director, Karyn French, is sensing a cautious turnaround in the n e i g h b o u rh o o d ’s attitude. She said she has no illusions that some people are still opposed to the project, but said residents have shown a willingness to help

what it is all about and that it isn’t what they imagined that they feel more comfortable,” she said. According to Pacifica Housing, residents have contributed ideas to the design of the building, which will house people 45 and older. Neighbours were also contacted about construction activity once the contract was awarded to Windley Contracting on Oct. 1. Inglis said public engagement and French’s advocacy work have made him fully confident Pacifica Housing team will find a happy medium in making tenants comfortable while maintaining safety for the neighbourhood. “[Kar yn French] stood in front of this massive uprising as a Joan of Arc if you will and said ... hear our side, we will do whatever we can to make it safe and comfortable for you – and she’s done it so far,” he said, adding French previously fought on residents’ behalf to scale back units. While he plans to now wait and see how the project unfolds, Inglis says he has “no lingering doubts” about the project. The supportive housing complex has been designed to fit with the neighbourhood and has incorporated lessons learned from Pacifica’s other facilities. Staff members, for example, will have clear sight lines on the ground level floors, and windows will be angled to give residents and their neighbours privacy. There will also be a bed bug sauna outside the building to help residents treat their belongings before they move into the facility. Eventually city staff members could connect residents with odd jobs around the building to help them integrate into the community. The groundbreaking ceremony will be at the Uplands Drive site, at 1 p.m. Wednesday (Oct. 16). news@nanaimobulletin.com

to this institution.” Nilson said there is a shrinking number of students moving through the K-12 system in central Vancouver Island, creating a lower transition rate into post-secondary school and more space for learners from other parts of the world. The university has been recruiting widely for its programs, he said. Sasha Angus, CEO of Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation, believes the university is not only helping to create a well-educated and diverse work force by attracting bright minds from across Canada and the globe, but triggering economic stimulus while they study in Nanaimo. “Take a look at what we have to earn to actually spend $35,000,” Angus said. “It’s over $50,000 which is like adding an entire household worth of demand for the local economy.” The information on international students – and overall economic contribution of the university – is expected to help the university leverage funding from donors. Nilson said he also hopes it will help people understand the incredible benefit of the university and spur engagement in future conversations about how the university can continue to support the changing economy. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Entrepreneurs who have techno-smarts, but aren’t so savvy when it comes to building a business can get hooked up with mentors offering business advice and links to development cash through the Venture Acceleration Program. Andrew Wilkinson, minister of technology, innovation and citizens’ services for B.C., toured Innovation Island, formerly known as MidIsland Science, Technology and Innovation Council, while touting the benefits the program offers for technology entrepreneurs during a visit to Nanaimo last week. He said his ministry is seeing movement in the technology sectors where Venture Accelerator programs operate on the Island, Kamloops, the Okanagan and the Kootenays. “We have multiple accelerators here on the Island,” Wilkinson said. “We’re seeing a lot of successful companies come out of these things. We now have a good number of companies that have developed products and sold them or they’re continuing to run their own enterprise.” The idea is to help startup companies speed up the commercialization of their products and ideas by helping new technology entrepreneurs learn through coaching by executives in residence – entrepreneurs with years of business experience. Through the program, business owners network with peers with similar goals and

challenges. It also helps small companies become investmentready and to find ways to safely access startup capital. Wilkinson said young companies are usually run by young people uncertain where they sit in the scheme of things and don’t know if they have a truly viable idea, if they’re wasting their time or if they could get eaten up by stronger competitors. Faced with such uncertainties entrepreneurs often sell out at an early stage to claim what revenue they can. “Getting access to capital usually means you have to give up a degree of control, so what we don’t like to see is a promising young company essentially give away its future because it’s so hungry for the first $200,000,” Wilkinson said. That pitfall can be sidestepped by matching entrepreneurs with mentors who can be trusted not try to take over the companies and ideas. Mentors can help decide what is the right level of financing for a young company, or they might choose to become “angel” investors. “What we do is provide them with advice from executives in residence, from mentors who will tell them how to get capital, how to protect the ideas that they’ve developed and take them to the next level so that they can get a second level of financing and build up a company that has employees and starts to prosper,” Wilkinson said.

EDITORIAL

Schools need proper funding We can see some logic in one of the overarching principles of the B.C. Liberal approach to education. It is true the province cannot afford to bankroll the system in complete disregard for declining enrolment numbers; some form of consolidation is more than prudent, it’s necessary. What is completely wrong, however, is the way the government has handed communities across the province a brand-new expense without giving them the proper tools to deal with it. We are referring to the deal the provincial bargaining agent for B.C.’s school districts struck with Canadian Union of Public Employees support staff workers. The deal – which calls for raises of 3.5 per cent over two years – is hardly ridiculous, given the cost of living is likely to go up four per cent during that same period. Yet the province has left it up to the local school districts – which rely almost entirely on government perstudent grants to operate – to find that money. And the money will be found in the same places it has always been found under the Liberal tenure: school closures, program cutbacks, decreased maintenance and layoffs. It’s time the province stopped treating school districts like prodigal sons on fixed allowances. It’s time it started taking some responsibility and provided some leadership, rather than simply downloading the hard choices in public education to school trustees who have little to know say over provincial funding. Leadership means providing some direction on where school districts should be headed and the resources necessary to pay for what has happened and what has to happen. The cycle has been spiralling downward for more than a decade. Step up and help turn this thing around.

The memorial is located in Huddlestone Park on Lantzville Road, an area that sees a fair amount of traffic and will not only serve as a reminder during Remembrance Day ceremonies but also during the other 364 days of the year as well. The physical and mental wounds that members of our Armed Forces suffer don’t heal in a day and in fact, some never fully heal, adding to the importance of never forgetting the sacrifice of veterans living and veterans that have passed on. It takes a lot of courage to enlist and go into battle whether it’s the First World War, Second World War or even Afghanistan. Soldiers and members of the Armed Forces risk their lives and well-being, and it’s good to remember them. There is a difference between actually experiencing war and battle and watching a movie or playing a video game. There isn’t a substitute for real life in this situation. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Time for sensible marijuana laws in B.C. To the Editor,

Re: B.C. marijuana referendum misguided, Oct. 10 Fletcher’s column misrepresented the Sensible B.C. campaign and could lead to confusion about our efforts for a marijuana referendum. The ultimate aim of Sensible B.C. is to have B.C.’s marijuana industry regulated in a similar manner to wine. Our proposed legislation, the Sensible Policing Act, is designed to bring us closer to that goal.

The act has four components, all designed to be within provincial jurisdiction. The first aspect is to redirect police resources away from being wasted on simple possession of marijuana. Last year, B.C. police made over 16,500 arrests for possession, draining $10.5 million in police and court time away from more serious criminal offences. Second, our legislation treats a minor in posses-

sion of marijuana the same as if it were alcohol. The allows police to deal with a teenager smoking pot, but without the lifetime criminal record that can restrict travel and employment. Third, the act calls upon the federal government to repeal marijuana prohibition, so that B.C. can regulate and tax it in a manner similar to wine and beer. This would send a powerful message of change to Ottawa.

Finally, our legislation creates a B.C. commission to figure out the rules needed to implement legalization. Like alcohol and tobacco, most of the regulation for legal marijuana would be determined at the provincial level. B.C. cannot fully legalize marijuana without a change to federal law, but we can take some sensible steps in the right direction.

Lean city budget? That’ll be the day To the Editor,

Re: City considers ending free over-80 passes, Oct. 8 Councillor Fred Pattje is quoted on the subject of recreation passes that, “Ability to pay is the main thrust and all of this is in light of us trying to get the leanest possible budget.” While I happen to agree with the first seven words of his statement, he proceeds to make one of the silliest suggestions I have read in years, that being the city is working towards preparing and approving a “lean budget” for Nanaimo taxpayers. Pattje has been on council long enough to know that the city has been spending money for years far in excess of annual inflation and there is no effort, or indeed desire, by senior city staff or mayor and council to address this unsustainable path. And if one happens to believe that taxes are currently much too high, just wait and see what is coming down the pipeline for taxpayers in 2014 and subsequent years. We haven’t seen anything yet, and it’s going to be brutal when it comes.

To the Editor,

Re: Hikers stumble on traps near Linley Valley, Oct. 10. In our city, if a landowner decides that the beaver living in the wetland areas on his private property are a nuisance, then he or she can legally trap and kill them. Anybody who has seen how a leghold trap works will know and understand that they are inherently cruel and unnecessary and also are banned in more than 60 countries around the globe including in all of Europe. The part of its body that would get caught in the trap would be held between two metal bars

trapping and killing animals such as beavers is something that should be happening in the outback, not within city of Nanaimo boundaries, argues letter writer.

that snap shut. It would not die right away but would suffer needlessly and horribly. What kind of a society are we, to allow this just because the animal is considered a nuisance or

annoying to the landowner? We are supposed to be a great city here in Nanaimo and we are behaving like the outback. I think legislation needs to be brought in to protect our wild species. The traps, while on private

lands, are also areas where families and their pets walk, making this a great danger to kids and dogs. This should not be allowed within city boundaries.

Taking away senior citizens’ recreation passes is insulting To the Editor,

Re: City considers ending free over-80 passes, Oct. 8 I am outraged by this latest attack on our seniors, dropping the free rec program for people over 80. They are about to pick the pockets from those who can least afford it. Coun. Fred Pattje supports this nasty attack on our older citizens. The Leisure Economic Access Program? Making our seniors prove poverty is his idea. What a scoundrel.

I would like to know the names of all those who vote for this insulting act to our elders, so come next election they can be held accountable.

Ken Bennett Nanaimo

Seniors rely on rec centres To the Editor,

Re: City considers ending free over-80 passes, Oct. 8 Societies that do not hold their elders in high esteem are doomed

to failure. There are many seniors within the community who rely on the community centre for their social and physical well being. Seniors have contributed more to this country and community than any foreign investors. As a taxpayer, I would rather fund the seniors in our community than support a hotel that would be tax exempt for 10 years. Ageism is alive and well in Nanaimo.

Diane Brennan and her ilk are at it, why don’t they proclaim and post signs that Nanaimo is a crystal meth-free,

crack cocaine-free and violence-free city as well.

Tourism not sorry for award Tourism Nanaimo shared an award with other tourism outlets on the Island from Tourism Vancouver Island. Tourism Nanaimo, Tourism Tofino, Sooke Regional Tourism Association and Black Ball ferry line received the Power of Partners Award last month. The award recognizes a business or organization that built partnerships with other Vancouver Island tourism businesses to increase visitation to the Island. The group won for its “You Won’t be Sorry Campaign” targeting the Pacific Northwest leisure market. The goal of the campaign was to encourage travelers to explore more of Vancouver Island and to move beyond Victoria. The campaign poked fun at Canadians, using the country’s notorious reputation for over apologizing – sorry if your suit gets wet in Tofino, sorry you haven’t tried a Nanaimo Bar in Nanaimo, sorry if locals are crabby in Sooke – culminated in “You won’t be sorry ... for the best vacation you have ever had.” “This is the first multi-destination campaign Vancouver Island has ever approached and is a unique approach within the tourism industry,” said Sasha Angus, CEO of Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation. Tourism Nanaimo is a division of the corporation whose mission is to build a prosperous community through economic opportunity.

Alzheimer’s society seeking volunteers Tom, Joseph, Irene and Donna meet once a month to talk about how their lives are affected by dementia. They are all caring for family members who are in various stages of the disease. The local resource centre of the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. needs volunteers who can facilitate monthly support groups. “Volunteers are absolutely invaluable to our team,” said Jane Hope, the society’s support and education coordinator for Nanaimo and north and central Vancouver Island. “It’s exceptionally rewarding work to know that you are making a meaningful difference in someone’s life. Our volunteers tell us they get far more than they give.” The society’s support groups are a lifeline for people who care for family members in various stages of dementia. “Caregivers can meet with people who share similar issues and are in a unique position to offer mutual support to others on the same journey,” Hope said. “The group is a place that they can talk openly and share information.” The society also needs administrative volunteers to handle a variety of duties, including mail outs, packaging education materials, assisting walk-in public, answering phones, sending e-mail notices and data entry. Customer service skills, computer skills and previous experience operating office equipment are required. Volunteers should also available during the day for one three-hour shift a week.

How do I pick the best auto body shop?

• You can tell a lot by just going to the shop. A good shop should be clean and well-organized, with modern equipment and professional staff. GARRY ROGUSKI • You should receive a clear, detailed written estimate • Insurance companies require a lifetime warranty (for as long as you own the vehicle) on paint and body repairs. If you’re not going through insurance, though, shops might not automatically give you a lifetime warranty. You have to ask for it, and get it in writing. • You also need to get a sense of whether or not they’re reputable and how long they’ve been in business • Ask to see finished vehicles – it should be impossible to tell the difference between the part that was repaired and the rest of the vehicle • Ask the shop what their certifications are • It’s a good idea to ask shops if they’re accredited by the major insurance companies, including ICBC • Don’t be afraid to ask questions.

I co-signed a loan for a friend two years ago. She is now going bankrupt. Will this loan be written GARETH SLOCOMBE, CA, CIRP off or will I have to pay it?

Whenever you co-sign or guarantee a loan, you are normally taking full responsibility for that debt. The exception would be in cases where your guarantee is for only a specific limited amount. Assuming the guarantee is not limited, the bank or lending institution has full recourse against you for any amounts not collected from your friend, regardless of her bankruptcy. Furthermore, once the loan payments are in default, the bank does not have to first exhaust all collection efforts against your friend prior to commencing any collection proceedings against you.

How do I know if I need a service upgrade?

BEN MAZZEI

■ Electrician - Owner

electrical

Your service size is calculated based on the requirements of the Canadian Electrical Code. It takes into account the square footage of your house, type of heat, number of appliances and any other electrical loads you might have. Quite often a service upgrade is required when adding a hot tub or switching from an oil furnace to electric heat. If you are concerned about your service or are adding any additional electrical loads contact Mazzei Electric to confirm that your service can accommodate the additional load.

Me personally? Well, that’s a very good question. I’m exposed to several strains of DR. TONIA WINCHESTER colds and flus a year as my patients come in for their appointments. The thing is I rarely get sick. I’ll generally get a minor, 2-day cold once per year. My tried and true personal regimen is: eating whole, unprocessed foods, especially vegetables – the dark green leafies and a rainbow of coloured ones; avoiding sugar; taking adequate vitamin D, high-quality Echinacea and mushroom blends as supplements; washing my hands with normal soap and water; and participating in the flu prevention program we offer at Arbour Wellness Centre. All of the above help support my body’s immune system and resiliency to infection. There are more recommendations that I would make dependant on your individual situation, but this is what works for me. Most extended health plans cover naturopathic medicine.

When you’re ready to begin your journey with Permanent Cosmetics here are some points as to help you find the RICHARD TCHAMOURIAN right technician for you: • Find a technician that has ample training, don’t be afraid to ask where they had their training/certification and what lead them to the work they do. Many licensed professionals gone technicians are a wonderful example of people taking their trade to the next level • Always ask for a consultation first (this may or may not cost you something but if so, should always be put towards your procedure) • Ask to have a pigment spot test for any reactions at time of consultation • Ask what type of pigments are used, non iron-oxide pigments are preferred as there are too many negative outcome possibilities with other pigments • Ask if there will be a free “Follow-up” procedure • Bring a list of questions if you need to • Make sure your technician has time for you • Portfolios are nice, but really, results are original & customized for each person • Listen to your technician as to what he/she is comfortable in doing This knowledge is what will give you the ability to make a informed decision about permanent cosmetics. May we each find the inner beauty within!

Experts’ Advice ■ Trustee in Bankruptcy

Quite possibly, since 80% of learning DR. PAUL GENEAU is visual. Vision disorders often cause learning and behaviour difficulties, but sometimes in ways that are not obvious. Children have individual learning styles, strengths and weaknesses, and as parents we want them to have nothing preventing them from reaching their own personal potential. One way to ensure that is a thorough eye and vision examination by an optometrist. This is the message during Children’s Vision Month, in October, from Doctors of Optometry Canada. Go to “Ask a Doctor of Optometry” on Facebook for the full answer to the above question, and many others, or visit the website at doctorsofoptometry.ca.

Should all of my furniture match or can I mix different styles? Should my end tables be ROBERT BICHLBAUER identical? I am a true believer that everything goes well together if it makes you happy. Matching is for people that feel they do not have the confidence to put different pieces together. We all have some sense of style but some of us just cant quite get the confidence to follow through with it. Take a leap go with your gut. If you steel feel unsure just come in and talk with one of our designers on staff and let them know your ideas. Sometimes we just need to hear we are moving in the right direction.

bedroom furniture Are small retailers going by the wayside with all the big box stores out JOHN ROGERS there, can you compete? I’ve never felt that I had to compete. Any box store has huge buying power and supplies almost any product cheaply. What they can’t do is what we excel at, knowing our products and more importantly being able to take the time with each client to get to know what they actually need, not what they think they want. The other thing a box store can’t do is buying locally. Over 87% of what we sold this year is made in B.C. Another 3% is made in the U.S.A. This gives Lynn and I the ability to go and see where and how are products are made, that leads to better quality control.

Calais Spas Builds Safer Pools

Why would I need a hearing test if I don’t notice a hearing loss?

Since the 80’s main drains in the bottom of pools have caused over 147 documented cases of severe injury, evisceration, or death! By simply adding an additional skimmer at the surface and eliminating the main drain, this huge safety concerns is 100% eliminated! Return water is introduced lower in the pool and more rapidly circulates water from the bottom to the top of the pool resulting in better circulation which more rapidly removes surface debris before it saturates and sinks. This ensures adequate circulation of heated, chemically treated water. Less dirt not only means less cleaning and maintenance time, but also requires less chemicals to keep your pool pristine, and clear and safe. Heated water naturally rises with the upward flow of water, thus no cold spots in the pool which reduces water heating costs even further. Main Benefit: SAFETY THROUGH EFFECTIVE ELIMINATION OF ENTRAPMENT ISSUES! Additional Benefits: Cleaner pools require less cleaning and maintenance time, and because less chemicals are required, they also cost less to keep balanced and sanitized! Reduction of heating costs from improved water circulation! Calais Spas/Pools are members of: Pool & Hot Tub Council of Canada & Independent Pool Group

As with other health issues, it is important to identify hearing loss early. Hearing loss tends to occur gradually and many people don’t realize a problem is developing. It is often apparent to others before obvious to the individual. Early diagnosis of hearing loss means more effective treatment, reduced risk of auditory deprivation and better communication ability. A hearing test is painless and quick. It should be an annual part of ongoing health care such as dental check ups and other routine evaluations. Make an appointment with us today for your complimentary hearing test.

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

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.

Denture technology has become a fine art. Dentures today are personalized to suit you and your wants TED CARSON and to look completely natural & fabulous! During the process of making your new dentures there will be a “try-in”. The teeth are chosen and positioned in wax, which enables you to view them in the mouth and discuss the appearance with the Denturist. Changes in appearance can be done easily at this stage. We provide a list suggesting items to check such as colour, size and shape of tooth, amount of tooth showing, straightness, subtle imperfections if desired, facial support, etc. If desired, the “try-ins” can be taken home for a closer inspection in natural light or for an opinion from someone at home. Some people like to bring in a photo of themselves with their natural teeth for duplication of that look. Others are looking for an entirely new look. Recently, many of our patients have been requesting a ‘brighter smile’ with a whiter tooth. We have many shades available. We do not finish the dentures until the patient is satisfied with the overall appearance. Your satisfaction is most important to us. For all your denture needs in a caring and courteous manner, contact Ted Carson at Carson Denture Clinic. You can then ‘Smile with Style’ and confidence!

chiropractor Growing Pains

Pains in the legs which occur in children during their periods of fastest growth are often called “growing pains.” These pains DR. KAREN MATTERN have traditionally been viewed as normal and unavoidable. Parents and children are assured that the pain will eventually go away. And it usually does, but only after many sleepless nights. Many children are seen in a chiropractor’s office suffering from these “growing pains.” In nearly every case, there is an imbalance in the lower spine or pelvis causing uneven stress on the leg muscles. Most cases of “growing pains” are easily resolved with adjustments to the lower back and the relief is usually permanent. A lot of discomfort and pain - to say nothing of lack of sleep for parents - can be easily avoided. Growing pains in children should be seen as a warning sign that the body is not in balance. If your child is suffering from leg pains, consult your family chiropractor to determine the cause and its correction.

Self-harming is a deliberate act of caus- ANGELA SLADE, MA, RCC ing injury and physical pain to oneself by various means without it necessarily being a suicide attempt. Individuals may harm themselves because they feel emotionally disconnected or isolated and hurting themselves is the only way they feel real or connected. For some people it is a way of coping with stress or emotional pain while others perform such acts as a form of self-punishment. Self-harm can also be a sign or symptom of mental illness. Ways in which people self-harm include cutting, burning, biting and scratching. It is also important to ask the person whether he/she feels suicidal and if so contact your local hospital or community mental health service. Self-harming behaviour can be treated therapeutically and a counsellor, psychologist or your GP may be able to offer further help.

I have heard radio ads that say that if I die without a Will, the government will get all TIAH M. WORKMAN my money and assets. Is that true? No! If you die without a Will, your Estate will be distributed pursuant to the Estate Administration Act. The Act sets out a very specific list of those persons who would be entitled to a portion of your Estate if you die “intestate” (without a Will). An Estate only goes to the government if no relatives are known or they cannot be found, and if all time limits set by the law have passed.

Professor retraces Antarctic adventure

David Gogo performs at Simon Holt restaurant later this month. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Jay Ruzesky, a professor in VIU’s English department, was raised on cold Canadian winters and stories of his famous ancestor, Roald Amundsen, the Norwegian explorer who first discovered the South Pole in December 1911. Ruzesky felt a kinship to Amundsen as a young man, and set upon dreaming of his own journey to the pole one day. One hundred years after his ancestor’s discovery, Ruzesky travelled to Antarctica to honour Amundsen’s achievement. Upon his return, he documented his journey in a memoir entitled: In Antarctica: An Amundsen Pilgrimage. Ruzesky, who teaches English, creative writing and film studies at VIU, will speak about his experiences in Antarctica on Friday (Oct. 18) as he presents, Amundsen Then and Now: The End of the Age of Heroic Exploration. The illustrated presentation will be the second session in the Fall 2013 VIU Arts and Humanities Colloquium Series. While Ruzesky perceives his voyage to Antarctica as a “kind of pilgrimage,” as his book title suggests, he is also intrigued by how “the very idea of exploration has changed in the century since Amundsen stood at the South Pole.” “With satellites, computers, etc., travel to remote parts of the world is a very different thing than it once was,”

Birthplace of blues offers inspiration

DAVID GOGO brings full band to show at Simon Holt restaurant. BY MELISSA FRYER THE NEWS BULLETIN

avid Gogo has gone old school. With one foot always rooted in the blues, Gogo branched into areas of rock but since a trip to the American South and the birthplace of the soulful music, he’s taken a road back into the origins of the genre. Taking the Mississippi blues trail and visiting the haunts and juke joints of the likes of Robert Johnson, Gogo got a better understanding of the life these players lived and the events that shaped the music. “I’ve been down to that part of the world, but I’d never really spent any time there,” he said. “It’s another thing to be in that part of the world and meet the people, eat the food and breathe the air.”

Some of the folks he met along the way offered the chance to see some legendary places, like a recording studio that laid down tracks for the likes of Robert Cray, Otis Rush and Chuck Berry. The owner was more than happy to open the studio after hours. “He said, ‘bring some beers and I’ll give you a tour of the studio’,” Gogo said. He saw the room and touched the instruments played by so many of the artists he enjoyed. “You can’t help but get inspired,” Gogo said. It led to the release of his latest album, Come On Down, released in July – Gogo said it’s one of his best-reviewed albums. It features a mix of covers and original songs, including Ray Charles’s Let’s Get Stoned. “I’ve always liked that song and always wanted to record it,” Gogo said. “I try to bring something to the arrangement that’s unique and unusual.” While most of his songs end up on his own albums, a song he originally wrote for Johnny Winter was recorded by Buddy Guy – a

rare treat for a writer to pen for someone he admires. “He’s one of the last real guys,” Gogo said of Guy. “He’s always been one of my heroes.” The song, called Never Gonna Change, was co-written with Tom Hambridge, producer of Guy’s latest album Rhythm and Blues. But work continues as an independent musician. With his latest album released in July, Gogo is booking shows in Europe and Canada to support it, with the goal of heading into the U.S. Creating new music is always happening, too. “I purposely leave guitars in different rooms in the house,” Gogo said. “That’s one of the great things about the blues – you can get better as you get older.” He’ll be playing songs from the new album during a show at Simon Holt Oct. 26, bringing a full band to the north-end restaurant. Show starts at 9 p.m. Please call 250-9333338 for tickets and reservations. Come On Down is available on iTunes, music stores and at the show.

Quickfacts

IN ANTARCTICA An Amundsen Pilgrimage lecture by VIU professor Jay Ruzesky Friday (Oct. 18), 10-11:30 a.m., at Malaspina Theatre. Admission free.

Ruzesky said. “Yet the extreme geography of a place like Antarctica isolates it, to some degree, from time and human innovations.” Ruzesky will use the colloquium forum to share his thoughts on how Antarctic exploration, and Antarctica as a continent, has changed over the past century. The Arts and Humanities Colloquium Series highlights research being done by VIU faculty through the presentation of free public lectures open to students and the general public. Admission is free for the presentation held in VIU’s Malaspina Theatre 10-11:30 a.m. Time for discussion and questions will follow the talk. The series continues on Nov. 22 when Gordon Hak, from the department of history, will reflect on the question: B.C.’s 1983 Solidarity Movement 30 Years on: Something for the Left to Celebrate or Best Forgotten?

THANK YOU

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone involved in saving the life of a tennis player at Beban Park on the morning of September 23rd following a near fatal reaction to a bee sting. To Howie and Bruce for assisting the player off the court as he was about to collapse. To Joe who called the ambulance. To Doug (retired doctor) for performing CPR and taking the extraordinary step of following up to NRGH to inform Emergency Room staff of what had happened. How fortunate we were to have a doctor on site. To the ambulance crews and the Emergency Room doctors and staff for their prompt excellent care. To the staff on 1st floor for their care, and to the internist who monitored the patient for enough days to be certain that the bee sting effect had rescinded. A very special thank you to dear friend Al, who kept the family informed about what had happened at the tennis court, then at Emergency. For his tireless care and attention we will be forever grateful. With our heartfelt thanks, Bert and his family.

Inbrief

New captain will steer ship

sports

Long weekend delays scores Sports results from the past few days weren’t available at press time due to early deadlines necessitated by the Thanksgiving long weekend. The V.I. Raiders hosted the Kamloops Broncos in junior football action, the Nanaimo Clippers played two divisional games, the Vancouver Island University Mariners volleyball teams served up their home openers and Nanaimo United took on Gorge FC on the soccer pitch. Some game recaps are up on our website today (Oct. 15) and there will be more scores and photos in Thursday’s issue of the News Bulletin.

Defenceman Scott Prier chosen to wear ‘C’ for Nanaimo’s B.C. Hockey League team BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

The Nanaimo Clippers feel they’ve found the guy to lead them through thick and thin. The city’s B.C. Hockey League club announced last week that Scott Prier will be team captain for 2013-14. The squad waited more than a month to make its decision, and Prier skated with the ‘C’ on his sweater for the first time this past weekend. “It’s obviously a great honour on any team you play on,” he said. The 20-year-old defenceman is a newcomer to Nanaimo, having played previously with the LaSalle Vipers just outside his hometown of Windsor, Ont. He’s quickly getting used to the pace of play in the BCHL. “It’s a lot more intense, faster, guys are stronger. It’s a bit of an adjustment, but not a big one,” Prier said. “You’ve got to play positional hockey and follow the system. If you get running around in this league, you’re going to get caught and scored on.” Mike Vandekamp, coach of the Clippers, said Prier has played with the consistency that’s required in a team captain. “He carries himself with a pretty good level of maturity and confidence,” said the coach. “He’s definitely a reliable player, a player we’re

going to be leaning on a lot for important minutes on the ice.” Prier makes smart decisions in his own end, but has a particular flair offensively and will be a major contributor on the power play. Still, he said he doesn’t necessarily feel any more pressure to score key goals in crunch time just because he’s captain. “There’s a lot of guys that are looked upon to score big goals on this team,” he said. “The letter on my shirt doesn’t mean that [I have to].” He said his coach told him just to keep doing what he’s been doing. “I think you have to be yourself. You can’t get outside of who you are,” said Vandekamp. “We named him the captain because we believe in who he is as a player.” And though the Clippers (4-5) were below .500 going into the long weekend, Prier believes his team has a chance to achieve its goals in 2013-14. “There’s tons of potential,” he said. “We’re going to get on a roll.” GAME ON … The Clippers host the Victoria Grizzlies on Wednesday (Oct. 16) at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena … The club named Colton Dahlen, Brendan Taylor and Devin Brosseau as alternate captains. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Buccaneers hard to beat these days

GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Nanaimo Buccaneers player Dayton Boutilier scores on a slapshot from the point during last Thursday’s game against the Peninsula Panthers at the Nanaimo Ice Centre.

Nanaimo News Bulletin 33

The Nanaimo Buccaneers know how to win hockey games, and it’s serving them well. The city’s Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League club will bring a gaudy record into its matchup this week against the undefeated Victoria Cougars. The Bucs (10-1) scored another win last Thursday at the Nanaimo Ice Centre, coming back to beat the Peninsula Panthers.

The home team trailed 3-2 during the second period, but put together strong pressure to end the frame and got rewarded 35 seconds before intermission when Dayton Boutilier’s slapshot from the point found the back of the net. The Bucs got the goahead goal early in the third period from Dan Foglietta and made it stand up. Will McNamara and Chad Bell scored the other Buc-

caneers’ goals, Riel Gibson and Garrett Dunlop had two assists apiece and Ryan Waldhaus made 18 saves. GAME ON … The Bucs visited the Saanich Braves Friday after press time and take on the Westshore Wolves on the road Wednesday (Oct. 16). Thursday’s matchup between the divisionleading Bucs and Cougs faces off at 7:15 p.m. at the Nanaimo Ice Centre.

The cyclocross season got off to about as fastpaced a start as it’s possible to get in the mud. The Cross on the Rock schedule opened Sept. 29 with Coal Cross at Cumberland. Wendy Simms won the open women’s division, completing her five laps in 41 minutes, 12 seconds. The top Nanaimoite in the expert race was Justin Mark, who finished his eight laps in 1:02:02 to place fifth. The first local stop on the circuit is Nov. 9, the My Little Pony Cross at Nanoose Bay, followed by the Kona Kup provincial championship Nov. 10 at Bowen Park.

Whitecaps taking close look at talent T h e Va n c o u v e r Whitecaps aren’t interested only in winning matches. They’re also determined to grow the game. The Whitecaps FC soccer club relaunched its Island Academy Centre last month at the Arbutus Meadows Equestrian Centre at Nanoose Bay. Previously the ’Caps had partnered with Nanaimo’s Harbour City Football Club on the academy, but this season the Whitecaps decided to be independent in hopes of appealing to soccer players in associations up and down the Island. The academy is intended to be a complement to regular team practices and games. “You only get them on a short-term basis and then it’s trying to make sure that they remember ever ything that you taught them,” said Sam Lenarduzzi, regional programs manager

with the Whitecaps. “Hopefully they go back and use it and then that way hopefully they retain it.” Lenarduzzi said coaching at the centre in Nanoose feels

like home, as it’s the old artificial turf from B.C. Place that he used to play on. The venue works well for the Whitecaps, he said, both because of its central location

on the mid Island and also because it offers clement weather every night. “You’re not fighting the elements and I think for the kids and even for

The academy is invite-only, so players wishing to register now would need a coach’s reference. There will be another round of tryouts in the new year. Lenarduzzi said the academy uses the same coaching curriculum as the Whitecaps’ residency program in Vancouver. “I’d love to see, one day, one of these kids from Nanaimo playing on our first team,” he said.

Annual earthquake drill helps raise preparedness

B.C. ShakE out takes place on Oct. 17.

A provincewide earthquake drill aims to enhance public awareness and encourage personal preparedness. The B.C. Earthquake Alliance is organizing the fourth annual B.C. Shake Out earthquake drill on Oct. 17 at 10:17 a.m. The City of Nanaimo is encouraging all residents, businesses, agencies and associations to participate. The Wave (102.3 FM) and the Wolf (106.9 FM) radio stations will air audio for the drill. “During the drill, participants will be asked to drop, cover and hold on in response to a simulated earthquake event,” said Karen Lindsay, emergency program manager. “It only takes a couple minutes of your day to

practise how you will react during an earthquake. “Residents in the City of Nanaimo have embraced this drill since the beginning and have used the opportunity to review their emergency plans, practice the drop, cover and hold protocol and to check their kits.” The radio stations airing the sound clip will be a source of critical emergency information for residents during emergencies of all types, said Lindsay. The internationally recognized drop, cover and hold on protocol requires individuals to: u Drop to the ground (before the earthquake drops you); u Take cover by getting under a sturdy desk or table; u Hold on to it until the shaking stops. The City of Nanaimo encourages individuals, businesses and organizations to register at
