Fewer beds offered at extreme weather shelter this season BY TaMara CuNNiNghaM ThE NEwS BULLETiN
Iain McIver, Aspengrove school board member, is grateful for the partial tax break the school received from the District of Lantzville, but said he believes the school should be treated the same as other not-for-profits and given full tax exemption status. CHRIS BUSH THe NewS BUlleTIN
Lantzville reduces tax exemption by half
I
Aspengrove wILL continue to seek tax exemption.
BY TaMara CuNNiNghaM ThE NEwS BULLETiN
Aspengrove School executives say they are grateful for an 11th-hour decision to waive more than half of its land tax next year. But the school won’t give up its fight to see permissive tax exemptions for independent schools taken out of the hands of municipal government, a board member says. The District of Lantzville backtracked on a recent decision not to grant a $6,070 permissive tax exemption to
Aspengrove School, instead opting to reduce the tax break to 51 per cent in 2014. The vote was made unanimously Oct. 30, several days before the deadline for a tax exemption bylaw. Lantzville council initially decided not to give the school a permissive tax exemption, citing low participation rates by local students and concerns about residents being double taxed for education. But Coun. Jennifer Millbank said the school seemed unprepared financially to pay the tax and council members faced a ‘deadlock’ vote on its tax exemption bylaw over the issue. Without an approved bylaw, no organizations would receive
“
Two years ago [Lantzville] granted the exemption and two years [later] it is taken away because of the whim of the council elected at the time.
a tax break, Millbank said, adding a 51 per cent exemption was “something of a compromise.”
It will also allow the school more time to prepare for next year, when the district will reconsider the permissive tax exemption, Millbank said. Aspengrove School executives said they are pleased and grateful for the reduced tax bill, which will help reduce budget pressure. However, they still plan to lobby the province to make tax breaks mandatory for independent schools so there isn’t “this flip-flopping back and forth,” said school principal, Zinda FitzGerald. Currently the municipality is required to give tax exemptions for independent school buildings. u See ‘SCHOOL’ /4
A Nanaimo cold weather shelter is offering fewer beds this season as more of the city’s chronic homeless are housed. The First Unitarian Fellowship of Nanaimo opened its cold weather shelter on Friday to start giving the city’s homeless refuge from the rain and windchill. There will be 18 beds available, down from 24 the previous year. According to shelter coordinator Kevan Griffith, an aggressive push to house the chronically homeless has led to a drop in people seeking temporary lodging. Between 2011 and 2012 there was a 25-per cent decrease in people looking for shelter, prompting this season’s reduction in beds. “[I] met with the province and the city and we just realized that we don’t need that many beds and if we don’t need them, why ... [pay] for them,” he said. The city contributes $35,000 annually toward the cold weather shelter, while the province gives per-night funding during extreme temperatures. Those who use the shelter receive a hot meal, bed and breakfast the next morning. Some people are also given housing lists and information on community resources. Griffith said there seems to be fewer people arriving nightly at the shelter thanks to an effort to house the homeless in places like the 30-unit Wesley Street supportive housing complex. But temporary lodging is still a need in Nanaimo, he said. There are people passing through town that need a place to stay and “for some, they just don’t want a home,” Griffith said. “[Shelters] are a rallying point for the homeless. A place they can go with no questions [asked],” Griffith said. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Fire truck costs Lantzville more than expected by Tamara Cunningham The News bulleTiN
Const. Martin Kortas surveys the scene of a crash on Bruce Avenue Friday that resulted in a 90-day driving prohibition against a Manitoba man. CHRIS BUSH THe NewS BUlleTIN
Mounties ticket suspected impaired driver after crash A 26-year-old man from Manitoba was given a 90-day driving prohibition and ticketed for driving too fast for road conditions after he was involved in a crash with two other vehicles last week. The crash happened Friday at about 11 a.m. when the man drove his black Dodge Dakota at a high rate of speed down Bruce Avenue and rear-ended a black Honda CRV at the Eighth Street intersection. The Dodge continued
down Bruce Avenue until it veered into a front yard and crashed into a parked Toyota Corolla. No one was injured and alcohol and speed on the part of the man driving the pickup were contributing factors in the crash, police said. Roads were also wet from light rain at the time of the crash, which is still under investigation. u Two women were frightened when a man exposed
POLICE BRIEFS himself on the Nanaimo waterfront near Georgia Park Friday. The incident happened at about 6:30 a.m. when the women were jogging and the man, walking in the opposite direction yelled, “Hey, look at this,” and dropped his pants. The women immediately screamed and fled, said Sgt. Sheryl Armstrong, Nanaimo RCMP spokes-
woman, in a press release. The suspect is described as scruffy looking, about 6 feet tall, average build, in his mid 30s to early 40s, with long, shoulder length brown hair and wearing jeans, a red top and possibly a white jacket.

island health seeks feedback on health care Nanaimo residents have a chance to weigh in on the state of health care and opportunities for improvement during an open house for Island Health’s new strategic plan. Island Health is touring Vancouver Island this November for public input on its new five-year strategic plan. An open house will be held in Nanaimo on Nov. 25. According to Grant Hollett, corporate director of planning and community engagement, the last strategic plan was created in 2005 when the health authority was still in its infant years. The focus was on getting to know the needs of the Island and what had to be accomplished in the short term, he said, adding the authority is in a

very different place today. The 2018 strategic plan will determine the direction of the organization and where it should be investing its energy and funding. There is no specific budget for the plan, but Hollett estimates community engagement could cost up to $30,000. The dollars will be used from funding already set aside for Island Health’s annual efforts at building
community presence. “[These open houses are] the first step in creating a new strategic plan,” Hollett said. “This opens the opportunity for the general public to come out [and discuss] challenges and opportunities that face health care and the health authority on Vancouver Island and where everybody thinks we need to head to.” General themes and information on community health issues will be available online early next week to kick start discussion. The new strategic plan is expected to be complete by spring 2014. Nanaimo residents can take part in the open house at the Nov. 25 at the Beban Park social centre, between 5:30 and 7:30.

The District of Lantzville is reviewing just how much it will take to replenish reserves, after a new fire engine cost more than officials expected. The District of Lantzville recently approved the purchase of a new $541,380 custom fire engine – a price tag 44 per cent higher than originally budgeted for. According to Mayor Jack de Jong, the truck from Alberta-based Rocky Mountain Phoenix was the most affordable option presented during the request for proposal process and is needed to maintain residents’ fire insurance costs. A recent fire underwriters’ survey classified the district’s 27-year-old pumper truck as nearing the end of its life and recommended it be replaced by 2015 to maintain the community’s insurance rating. The extra expense for the new truck will come out of existing fire department reserves and will be part of a review into how much taxes the municipality now needs to replenish reserves and pay for future fire truck purchases. “Each year the contribution to the fire truck reserve has been approximately $70,000 ... given what happened with the fire underwriters’ survey we will take another look at the replacement schedule and revisit that number to see if it needs to be higher or lower going forward,” said Jedha Holmes, the district’s director of financial services. The new custom-built fire engine is expected to arrive at the fire hall in a year. De Jong said the cost is “higher than we estimated” but said it gives the fire department more options to enhance its service. Fire chief Tom Whipps doesn’t agree with the underwriters’ survey that there is a need to purchase a new truck. Despite it being built in 1986, the pumper engine passes pump tests annually with “flying colours,” he said. But he said the underwriters’ survey has pretty much mandated the new buy and admits it will provide the department with a better vehicle. It will be the first custom chassis truck owned by Lantzville, giving them a higher standard of collision and roll over protection. It will also be custom created to have more storage capacity so it could eventually become a “rescue/pumper” truck in the future. It would give district an option to reduce maintenance costs by using the one pumper engine to replace its non-rescue fire fighting vehicle in the future, Whipps said. The district is currently creating a new fire truck replacement and funding schedule. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Tires added to highway safety review Some “all season” tires are good enough for winter roads in B.C., but not all of them. That’s one reason why Transportation Minister Todd Stone has added tires to a provincial
review of highway safety that includes speed limits. But with 60 per cent of residents living where winter conditions are not common, he is not considering making winter tires mandatory.

School pursues tax exemption munity. “We believe we are as much a benefit to the community ... and therefore [should be] treated in the same way,” he said. Coun. Andrew Mostad said the district will have ongoing dialogue with the school on other ways to support the school other than through tax breaks. He said Lantzville residents seem to like Aspengrove in their community but are not prepared to support it financially each year. There also appears to be “quite a lot of appetite” among council to nix tax breaks for the school in 2015, Mostad said.

Aspengrove member Iain McIver said he is pleased with the partial tax break, calling it a step in the right direction, but “in general, we remain steadfast that we should be receiving the complete permissive tax exemption.” Other not-for-profits, like churches, are given tax exemption because the district believes the existence of the organizations are a benefit to the com-

CANADIAN COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER AWARD 2012

District granted recycling award The Regional District of Nanaimo has been awarded $5,000 in recognition of its recycling efforts. The regional district received an ElectroRecycle Civic Award from the Canadian Electrical Stewardship Association, which recognized the regional districts with the highest electrical item collection rate in the province. According to a press release, Nanaimo residents collected more than two kilograms of electrical products in 2012 – including toasters, blenders irons, sewing machines and even electrical toothbrushes – and award winners received money to further build awareness of recycling initiatives. Regional District of Nanaimo board chairman Joe Stanhope said the dis-
trict and residents worked hard at recycling efforts and not only on electronics. “Our diversion [from] the landfill is over 70 per cent, which is the highest in North America,” Stanhope said. “That means our landfill’s going to last a lot longer, it’s going to save dollars and all the rest of it. It’s the recycling, it’s the organics collection that everybody works towards. It’s not just the regional district, it’s all of us – it’s the residents that [won].” Stanhope said the $5,000 will be used to further the cause. “It will be used to increase what we’re doing because it’s a very positive thing,” he said. Kootenay Boundary, Central Okanagan, North Okanagan and Capital Regional District also received awards.

Enrolment continues slide in Nanaimo Nanaimo school district has fewer students enrolled this school year, according to preliminary numbers. Enrolment numbers as of Sept. 30 totalled 13,211 full-time equivalent students. The district said this is 56 fewer than last year and 84 less than had been forecast for the 2013-14 budget.

MRI MachINE improves wait times.
Hospital patients will see faster exam times and more comfort thanks to a new magnetic resonance imaging system. Nanaimo Regional General Hospital is installing a $2.8-million MRI system this
November. The machine, provided by Island Health and Nanaimo Regional Hospital District, is expected to provide patients with the latest in medical imaging technology. The new addition has a larger opening for patient comfort and faster electronic processing to reduce exam times, according to

a press release from Island Health. The system will replace an MRI scanner installed at the hospital in 2002. “The arrival of this new diagnostic equipment is great news for mid-island residents,� said Joe Stanhope, chairman of the Nanaimo Regional Hospital District. “It will be a valuable health care resource in the region and deliver improved care closer to home.� MRI is used to take images of organs and issues inside the body to help diagnose injuries and medical conditions. According to Island Health, the use of the machines has increased by more than 76 per cent over nine years as the technology has improved and become more effec-
tive in diagnosing injuries and diseases. In 2003-04, there were 13,500 scans in Island Health facilities compared to 23,829 between April 2012 and March 2013. “MRI is playing an increasingly important role in health care,� said Don Hubbard, board chairman for Island Health. “We appreciate Nanaimo Regional Hospital District for contributing to this project and supporting high quality health care.� The hospital district contributed just over $1 million. The new MRI system will be lifted by a heavy-duty crane through an expanded window at Nanaimo’s hospital. The technology will be in operation by early December after a two-week training session for technologists and radiologists.

Nature program aims to get kids Care plan lessens stress outside during cool winter months By Karl yu
The News BulleTiN
I
The Nanaimo Community Hospice Society seeks to raise awareness about advance care planning. The advance care plan follows the principles of a will, in that it prepares for the unexpected, and according to hospice volunteer Judy Hancock Holland, people of any age can draw one up by filling out online forms at the provincial government website. People can designate who they want to make health care decisions for them in the event they are unable to do so and thanks to changes by the provincial government in 2011, notarization by a lawyer isn’t required. The person, along with two witnesses (in the same room) signing the document is all it takes to make a care plan legal. “I think one of the really important first steps [for an advanced care plan] is to just sit down and think about what we actually would want and wouldn’t want,” said Holland. “The next step, and it’s really important, is to have the discussion with our loved ones about what are wishes are ... if we don’t have that conversation with our loved ones, the normal stress of a catastrophic, unexpected illness is made that much worse
YouNgSTErS agE three to five targeted. By Karl yu The News BulleTiN
A new program from Nanaimo’s parks and recreation department aims to get youngsters outside, active and learning during the school year. Set to begin Nov. 19 and running Tuesdays and Thursdays until June at the Bowen Park upper picnic shelter, Nature Tykes will have children aged three to five years playing and learning amongst nature, even in the winter months. “The reason we want to start this is we want to get kids outside any time of year,” said Deborah Beck, recreation coordinator for the city. “They [will be] outdoors for two hours in the morning and nature is such a great way for kids to be creative, for them to experience things, for them to learn, for them to burn off energy and be physically active ...” Judy Wickland, Nature Tykes’ instructor, said
KARL YU/The News BULLeTiN
Judy Wickland will be the teacher for the Natural Tykes program, which seeks to get children outside to play in nature. The program, which starts in midNovember, is for children like Cale Lawson, aged three to five years.
research is showing that children miss out on development if they aren’t outdoors. It improves their creativity, she added. “You don’t see a lot of kids outdoors and learning things,” said Wickland. “I’m really surprised at how little kids know, so part of this program is going to be teaching them things but it’s also getting them to do things on their own, being able to look at the ants’ nest, dig in the dirt, find out what the dirt is like, climb on logs – just the creativity
and curiosity about nature and what’s out there.” Children who take part in the program need to be dressed for the weather, as they will be outdoors regardless, and despite the fact it’s changing from fall to winter, Wickland said there are plenty of things to do in the colder months. “There are a lot of activities you can do in the winter time, too,” Wickland said. “If it’s snowing, looking for tracks in the snow or even when there’s mud, kids like to play in the
water ... just be prepared to go outside and have fun.” Parents looking to enrol their children can call the City of Nanaimo’s parks, recreation and culture department at 250-756-5200 and ask for the Nature Tykes program. Pricing varies with the amount of sessions and information can be found at www.nanaimo.ca, under Early Years and Children’s Programs. Volunteers to assist Wickland are also being sought, too.
because they have to guess at what we might want.” In the event a plan isn’t in place, there is a formal list of people who will be asked to become temporary decision makers. According to Holland, the list is, in order: spouse, adult child, parent, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, another relative (by birth or adoption), a close friend, person immediately related by marriage and a person appointed by the office of the public guardian and trustee. “For some people that may be just fine but for other people, they may not want their spouse making those decisions and they may not want their children making those decisions,” said Holland. Holland will make a presentation on advanced care planning at an information session on Nov. 29 at 1 p.m. at the hospice house on 1080 St. George Cres. and hopes to clarify things for people in attendance – terms like living will, advanced directives and power of attorney will be discussed. The session is free but space is limited and a spot can be reserved by calling 250-591-8811. More information sessions are being planned and Holland also said presentations can be made to community groups as well. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Road upgrade Band-Aid fix
Few people know the traffic safety issues of the Malahat the way Malahat fire chief Rob Patterson does. That’s why you should pay attention when he says the latest $15 million the government is throwing at our most notorious stretch of highway – though welcome – amounts to just another BandAid. Don’t read that the wrong way. A completely divided Cowichan highway from the Malahat to North Oyster would no doubt reduce the number of catastrophic collisions on that busy stretch of road. If the government wants to continue to chip away at that goal $15 million at a time, then that’s better than doing nothing at all. This latest roadwork announcement is a good thing, a step in the right direction. But any improvement made to the existing highway cannot disguise the fact it is less an artery to move traffic from community to community and more Main Street Cowichan. And it is populated at any given time with people who are driving too slow, or too fast, or with their minds focused more on their lives and their phones than they are on the road. Cars are such an everyday part of our lives we frequently forget they are also shiny metal boxes hurtling past each other at rates of speed deadly to the human body. Instead, we give them the same attention we give our spouses as they chatter through our favourite TV show. In an ideal world, we would build a new divided highway from Victoria to Nanaimo with a half-dozen cloverleaf exits and onramps and no other access points. In an ideal world, the people drving those cars will be focused on the road and nothing else. But it is not, and never will be, an ideal world. By all means keep urging the powersthat-be to improve our roads. But take it upon yourself to drive safely.

Glean excess crops unwanted in fields or on trees because you’ll get a real deal. Foodshare runs the local gleaning project and will put you on a team where you will get your share. The rule-of-thumb is one-third to community agencies, one-third to the owner and one-third to the gleaners. Instead of eating out, hold an organic potluck because potlucks are so delicious and friendly. Nowadays, there are so many more people in the region and so many eating out that the days of wandering into a restaurant and getting seated are vanishing. Grow your own food because it’s like printing your own money. All you need is good soil, regularly replenished. If you don’t have a garden, get a community plot or borrow some space from someone with extra. I particularly like the abundance of Russian kale, yearround. We use it as a substitute for lettuce or spinach. Nothing easier than walking into the garden for some leaves of kale. u Marjorie Stewart is board chairwoman of the Nanaimo Foodshare Society. marjorieandalstewart@shaw.ca

Bridge to mainland just isn’t possible To the Editor,
Re: Forget foot ferry, let’s build a bridge, Letters, Oct. 29. A bridge connecting Vancouver Island to the B.C. mainland is just not possible. If you want to directly bridge the Island to, say,
Metro Vancouver, you’re going to have to contend with a whole host of problems, such as the width and depth of the Strait of Georgia, the makeup of the seafloor, the shipping lanes in the strait, the fact that we live in an earthquake zone, not to mention the
environmentalists who live on the south coast who feel such a project would be extremely disruptive and dangerous, and the fact that it would become much, much more expensive to travel between the Island and Vancouver. This subject has come up again
and again, and each time it’s been rejected. What makes you think it’s suddenly possible now? The best solution right now is to fix the current mismanagement of our ferry system.

Overpaid workers should make an effort To the Editor,
Recently, I made a garbage dump run because the City of Nanaimo has no pickup of garden waste, no burning and no pickup of anything other than household waste. Presumably, this is a cost-cutting measure for the city, but an expense to me. My friend provided a truck, and together we loaded it and drove the 30 kilometres to the dump site. While there, we were watched by two employees whose only purpose was to light up the site with the
natty high-visibility orange suits. We did all the work and, on departure, we paid a dumpage fee of $28. Do I feel abused? You bet I do. We pay taxes, and our employees tell us what to do. Our city manager is paid the same as the vice-president of the U.S.A. If the U.S. government does not pay movie-star wages to attract talent, why should we? How about cutting wages instead of services?

Musical revue recreates Valli A musical revue borrows from the songbook of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons for a show called Oh What a Night. Written by Motown producer George Solomon and directed by Michael Chapman, Oh What a Night is a concert tribute featuring the original hits, such as Valli’s hit song from Grease. Valli and the Four Seasons were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. Oh What a Night stays true to the original recordings without trying to mimic or impersonate the group – the end result is a show as fresh and relevant today as it is nostalgic for the purists. The show takes place Nov. 11, 7 p.m., at the Port Theatre. Tickets $55.50. Please call 250-754-8550 or visit www.porttheatre.com.
Comedians bring laughter to city
I
juST foR LAughS creates national tour.
A national comedy tour brings five comedians right from the country’s most popular laughter festival. Just for Laughs is bringing the comedy rat pack – Godfrey, Tom Papa, Orny Adams, Darrin Rose and Ben Seidman – to the Port Theatre Nov. 20. Rose, the super-suave leader of the pack, plays Bill the bartender on the hit CBC sitcom Mr. D and will host the comedy tour. Rose won a 2012 Canadian Screenwriting Award for comedy, while his one-man show “What’s Potpourri?” was selected Best of the Fest at the Just For Laughs Festival and received four stars at the Edinburgh Comedy Festival in 2010. Godfrey is one of the hottest comedians on the circuit. As one of the most dominant forces in comedy, Godfrey has been seen on stages from New York and
Los Angeles to Dubai. Along with his own one-hour special on Comedy Central, Godfrey is fresh off filming the FX pilot, Bronx Warrants, adding to his onscreen credits which include Zoolander, 30 Rock, and a recurring role on Louie. Sides will be splitting when Papa brings his sharp, obser vational humour to stages across Canada. Papa’s television appearances include: Behind the Candelabra, The New Adventures of Old Christine, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Conan, The Late Show with David Letterman, Inside Amy Schumer, and a starring role in his own series, Come to Papa. The brains of the operation, Orny Adams, can usually be found hunched over his trusty pen writing jokes for Jay Leno, Garry Shandling, and the annual Emmy broadcast. For this Comedy Tour, he will bring his wit to the mike. He has developed pilots for CBS, TBS and Endemol. He has appeared on Jiminy Glick, Tough Crowd on Comedy
Central, The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn, Last Call With Carson Daly, Entertainment Tonight, MTV’s Teen Wolf, and in his own Discovery Channel series Modern Chaos with Orny Adams. There has to be a trickster in a bunch like this, so keep your eyes peeled for Seidman’s slapstick slight-ofhand. This magician and comedian was the only person in history to be named the Resident Magician at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. He designed illusions performed by Criss Angel during a three-season contract as creative consultant for Mindfreak on A&E. In addition to his hundreds of international performances, Seidman is a favorite at the world famous Comedy and Magic Club in Hermosa Beach, Calif., a headliner at Catch a Rising Star comedy club, and a frequent performer at the Magic Castle in Hollywood. Tickets are $39-$49.50. Please call 250-754-8550 or visit www.porttheatre.com.

Ballet school hosts auditions Canada’s National Ballet School’s national audition tour lands in Nanaimo Friday (Nov. 8) at Kirkwood Academy. Auditions for the school’s full-time Professional Ballet Program (students in grades 6-12) and PostSecondary Program (high-school graduates) take the form of a specially designed ballet class where dancers are assessed for quality of movement, coordination and overall suitability for the demands of classical ballet. The minimum age to audition is 10, and no prior ballet training is required for students aged 12 and under. Open Classes are designed for junior and senior dance students regardless of their intent to audition for the fulltime program and are offered as an outreach component of the National Audition Tour. Classes run from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. For further details, please visit www.nbsenb.ca. Established in 1959, Canada’s National Ballet School is a world leader in training professional dancers and teachers. Graduates can be found in more than 65 dance companies worldwide.

Cancer
Leo
Virgo
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, shake things up a bit to inpsire some much-needed change. Be a tourist in your own city if you cannot afford a trip or immerse yourself in new cultures. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 It is not a good week to begin new projects, Taurus. In fact, cosmic signs point to finishing up anything you have outstanding. Try to focus on financial matters as well. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Cooperate with others this week, Gemini. This works best when you embrace compromise. Listen to what others have to say and always keep an open mind. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, a desire to get organized has been on your mind for quite some time. Now is the ideal time to do something about it. Start by clearing out clutter and go from there. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Enjoy a short vacation, Leo. It may be a jaunt to a weekend hideaway or something off the beaten path, but make the most of this well-deserved escape from the daily grind.
Libra
Scorpio
Sagittarius
Capricorn
Aquarius
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you are feeling domestic this week, so enjoy puttering around the house these next several days. You can catch up on decorating or renovating the home.
Pisces
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you feel a strong need to communicate with others this week. Share some truths with your loved ones, but try not to come across as if you have an agenda. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you may have a desire to travel and seek adventure, but right now finances won’t allow it. If you can keep expenses down, you may have the opportunity soon. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Expect to have luck on your side this week, Sagittarius. As a natural born risk-taker, all you need is a little incentive to get out and take a chance. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Keep your intentions hidden from others until you are ready for the big reveal, Capricorn. This will help make the surprise even more exciting for all those involved. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, discussions reach a point where you want to make permanent changes to your plans. Mull things over before making any final decisions, but enjoy this exciting time. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Personal details about your private life may become public, Pisces. How this information is handled depends on your reaction.

Sasha Angus, CEO of Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation, presents the findings of a comprehensive report about the region’s economy last week at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre.
Nanaimo’s first economic indicators report presents figures promising a rosy financial future for the region, but the devil might lie in the details, especially changing interest rates and availability of skilled labour. The Nanaimo and Region Economic Indicators Report, presented by Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation, is being touted as a key component for evaluating the region’s economic and business climate, and a tool to attract industries and investment. The report was produced by Meyers Norris Penny LLP over a five-month period at a cost of $50,000, and looked at questions like the size of the local economy. The report pegs
the Nanaimo region’s annual gross domestic product at $3.86 billion, accounting for 2.1 per cent of the provincial GDP and one of the highest per capita GDPs in B.C. “That is remarkable,” said Sasha Angus, corporation CEO. “When you compare Victoria on a per capita basis, we are more productive than Victoria, we are more productive than the Lower Mainland, we are more productive than a lot of places and so we finally know what the entire size of our local economy is.” Nanaimo might be a per capita high producer, but the Victoria capital region’s GDP – more than $11 billion – is still nearly triple Nanaimo’s. Nonetheless Angus said Nanaimo’s GDP figure and other economic data in the report provides a set of benchmarks to track the health of the local economy year by year and can also be presented to commercial and industrial job and tax base providers the city wants to attract to the region.
Net migration of people to and from Nanaimo is comparable to what is happening elsewhere in the province. Angus said immigration will be key to growing the local economy. People are retiring from the workforce, particularly business owners, and it will be important to attract new entrepreneurs to Nanaimo by matching them with businesses potentially coming up for sale. “We really want to make sure that immigration and people coming to our community is a key activity and key strategic concern for us to move forward for the next five or 10 years,” Angus said. Growth of the knowledge based industries sector, such as high tech, research and manufacturing and software development, in Nanaimo has outpaced the provincial average since 2004 and as of 2011 provided 2,300 jobs in Nanaimo and totalled more than 3,400 jobs throughout the regional district. u See ‘HOTEL’ /15

Nanaimo bed and breakfasts recognized for hospitality Nanaimo innkeeper Gordie Robinson was recognized by the B.C. Bed and Breakfast Innkeepers Guild with its highest honour at its annual conference last month. The Moyra Turner Hospitality Award has been awarded annually since 2002 and recognizes the member innkeeper who best exhibits hospitality and best promotes the concept of hospitality. Nominations for the Moyra Turner Hospitality Award require affirmation of exemplary hospitality by guests or other guild members. Robinson, along with wife Janice, has owned and operated Long Lake Waterfront Bed and Breakfast for six years. After retiring from a 34-year career with Shaw Cable, Robinson realized he wanted to stay busy and active. When they found a bed and breakfast for sale on Long Lake, they dove right in and are enjoying a second successful career welcoming guests from all around the world. Long Lake Waterfront Bed and Breakfast is a private luxury retreat at the end of
business bits
the road on Ferntree Place, and provides three spacious self-contained waterfront suites. It also received a 2012 Travelers’ Choice award from TripAdvisor and a 2013 Certificate of Excellence, which puts the bed and breakfast in the top-performing 10 per cent of all businesses worldwide on Trip Advisor. u Peter and Sue Hardie at Maple View Bed and Breakfast also earned an award from an international travel website. The bed and breakfast on Rock City Road earned an Expedia Insiders Select 2013 award, which recognizes “the very best hotels available in the Expedia global marketplace as judged by the experience of Expedia customers.” The award is based on more than one million guest reviews submitted annually. Maple View was one of 650 selected winners worldwide. The Hardies have lived in Nanaimo for the past six
years, having emigrated from the U.K. u Nanaimo Precast Ltd. opened its doors last month at 1941 Trans Canada Highway, just south of Nanaimo. With 17 years’ experience in the concrete business, A.J. Hustins will own and operate Nanaimo Precast at the former ABC Precast site. Nanaimo Precast is a provider of structural precast concrete products, including bridges, bridge components, hydro substation trenches, Ministry of Highways certified roadside barriers, plus septic tanks, holding tanks, curbs and eco-flo wastewater treatment system. Redi-Rock retaining wall systems will also be fabricated at the Nanaimo plant. Nanaimo Precast will employ eight people in the first year and is expected to employ 20 within the next three years. u Business Bits is a semiregular business column in the News Bulletin.

Hotel, ferry expected to bolster economy u From /14 The sector, across the regional district also grew by 6.4 per cent from 2006 to 2011, compared to a provincial growth rate of three per cent over the same period. Knowledge based sector jobs, Angus said, command an average annual wage of $65,000. Employment across all sectors has been rising since mid 2012 and Nanaimo boasts the fifth-highest growth rate among B.C. municipalities for the period between 2008 and 2012. Nanaimo’s unemployment rate is 4.9 per cent, which is lower than the provincial average of 6.7 per cent. Companies that choose to move or start up here will need a trained workforce ready for the jobs they offer. Those employees will have to be attracted from elsewhere as well as trained here to avoid a skilled labour shortage. Nanaimo mayor John Ruttan said he is concerned about such a shortage. “Skilled labour is
becoming more and more of a shortfall and more training is needed.” Ruttan, who has been in business in downtown Nanaimo since 1962 and has seen the economy change drastically over that time, said commercial space occupancy and other factors are cyclic, but he expects jobs and business occupancy will improve as the economy expands
over time. He noted the report has come out at a time when the economy is improving and most indicators in the report are good. Ruttan said one factor that could ruin the positive outlook is an upswing in interest rates. Ruttan said his confidence in Nanaimo’s economic future is buoyed by the statistics in the report and developments that could further bolster
the economy, like the conference centre hotel and the foot ferry. Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation will release quarterly updates along with major annual reports from here on.

Nanaimo Economic Development Update
with CEO Sasha Angus Another Vancouver Island Economic Alliance Economic Summit has come and passed, and this was again a successful event. The 2013 State of the Island Economic Summit included, among others, such notable speakers as WestJet Encore President Ferio Pugliese, national columnist for the Globe and Mail Gary Mason, marketing and branding expert Roger Brooks, and B.C. Premier Christy Clark. This was certainly an event not to be missed. This summit is the only event of its kind where, at a grassroots level, people in small business, large corporations, local government and professional associations from all over Vancouver Island can discover what is happening across industry sectors, ask questions and share ideas about the present and future direction of the island economy. The VIEA Summit connects people who are participating with emerging issues and opportunities, while also increasing the understanding of needs and trends. This allows for the identification of priorities to help build a prosperous and sustainable economy. The VIEA summit is widely considered to be ‘the’ business social event of the year on Vancouver Island. The information that is discussed and rich opportunity for networking allows the attendees to stay ahead of economic trends. The Vancouver Island Economic Alliance is all about collaboration. The summit themes are designed around feedback received through various meetings and conversations with Island stakeholders. Thus, the summit sessions are filled with real information about real
issues and opportunities affecting real life and the economy on Vancouver Island. Those in attendance learned about these realities, and joined in the conversation. For example, small business succession planning was a short time ago a theme discussed by only a few professionals who were in the know. This is now a widely understood concern on Vancouver Island due in part to the economic summit. Two years ago, the future of transportation was a topic of interest at the summit. It is now recognized by diverse transportation stakeholders that a need exists for a long-term, comprehensive plan for inter-modal transportation within, to and from Vancouver Island. This resulted in the successful transportation session at this year’s summit. There is no question that these summit gatherings have significant impact on our collective thinking – turning thoughts into actions.

Clippers check their way to wins
I
JR. A HOCKEY team takes four out of six points.
The Nanaimo Clippers climbed the standings after beating two divisional opponents on the weekend. The Clips won two out of three road games, splitting
a pair against the Powell River Kings on Friday and Saturday, then beating the Cowichan Valley Capitals on Sunday at Duncan. Nanaimo started off with a 4-3 win over the Kings, who are the B.C. Hockey League’s first-placed team. The Kings won the rematch 4-1. Against the Caps, the Clips won 4-2. Friday’s game was 1-1
in the first period until the visitors got a goal late in the first and two more early in the second for a 4-1 lead. Bo Brauer scored two goals to lead Nanaimo and Jacob Hanlon and Korey Morgan had the other goals. Jayson Argue made 27 saves in the win. The next day, Nick Gushue’s power-play marker was the only offence for
the Clippers. Liam McLeod made 31 saves in defeat. In Sunday’s matinee, the Clippers got behind 2-1 after one period but Mason Mitchell scored goals in the second and third periods to give his team the lead. Austin Dick and Corey Renwick had the other goals for the Clips and Argue made 25 saves for the win.
GAME ON … The Clippers have back-to-back home games this coming weekend. They play the Alberni Valley Bulldogs on Friday (Nov. 8) at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena and then host the Penticton Vees on Saturday, also a 7 p.m. faceoff at Frank Crane. Tickets are $14 for adults, $12 for seniors, $10 for students and $8 for children.
Barsby beats NDSS, shifts focus to post-season The Barsby Bulldogs used the Kocher Classic to round out their game in advance of playoffs. John Barsby Secondar y School’s AA varsity football team defeated the Nanaimo District Islanders by a 47-13 score on Friday at Merle Logan Field to conclude the regular season for both teams. “Good effort to close out the season,” said Rob Stevenson, Barsby coach, in a press release. “One of our goals was to win the division and we did that. Now on to our next goal.” NDSS actually struck first for a 7-0 lead, but the favoured Barsby squad was overpowering. Bulldogs quarterback North Rainey was 14-for-19 passing for 283 yards and four touchdowns. Kalven Kellock caught six passes for 130 yards and three touchdowns. Mark Dhamia also caught a touchdown pass and Tyler Harvey rushed for 93 yards. Blair Gould and Parker Bowles had four tackles each. GAME ON … Barsby faces the Pitt Meadows Marauders in playoff action Saturday (Nov. 9) at 1 p.m. at Merle Logan Field. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN
Nanaimo District Islanders running back Malik Besseghieur, front, keeps his balance after being tripped up by Barsby Bulldogs opponent Cole Virtanen during Friday’s game at Merle Logan Field.
VIU basketball teams tip off seasons with victories Vancouver Island University’s basketball teams both had successful starts as they began defences of their championships. The Mariners men and women travelled to play the Camosun Chargers on Saturday in Victoria, where the men won 77-66 after the women won 57-43. Matt Kuzminski, coach of the M’s men, said his team was up by around 25 points with six or
seven minutes to go before Camo’s depth players closed the gap. “Our starters and first few guys off the bench really played well,” said Kuzminski. “We set the tone defensively, we were very aggressive and we got good shots.” Brandon Jones shot the ball well from all over the floor and finished with 32 points. Clayton Billett added 19 points and Jason Fortin pulled down 12 rebounds.
“As far as our offence, we’re trying to slowly piece in everything to get to where we want to be,” said the coach, adding he’s satisfied with where the offence is at this early stage of basketball season. VIU’s game, in many ways, centres around its attention to the defensive end of the floor, and Kuzminski said that was the case in the season opener. “We were able to dictate
Nanaimo News Bulletin 27
the tempo of the game and I thought, at least for the first half, [we] really controlled them and took away what they were trying to do.” The VIU Mariners men’s and women’s basketball teams will play their Pacific Western Athletic Association home openers this weekend, as they host the Columbia Bible College Bearcats on Friday (Nov. 8) and then the Kwantlen Eagles on Saturday afternoon.
There will be a bannerraising ceremony at Friday’s game, as the VIU women will be honoured for their provincial championship last year and the men will be celebrated for their national title. Friday’s women’s game at the Vancouver Island University gym starts at 6 p.m., with men’s action to follow at 8 p.m. On Saturday, the women play at 1 p.m. and the men go at 3 p.m.
Dover Bay runners win provincials Dover Bay athletics is off to a fast start this school year. The senior boys’ crosscountry team won the provincial championship on Saturday. The LaserHawks broke through for the B.C. title after finishing third in five of the past six seasons. “I thought the boys ran as well as they possibly could in the race and every single one of them reached their potential,” said Bob Saunders, the team’s coach. The conditions tested their resolve. The Dover team walked the course on Friday and found it firm, but an overnight downpour made things muddy and race day, too, dawned cold and wet. Thomas Oxland led his team to victory, completing the 6.3-kilometre course in 21 minutes, 33 seconds, good for 12th overall. Anthony Serban in 21:55 and Peter Oxland and Miles Huynh, both in 21:56, also finished in the top 25 and Chris Serban’s time of 22:53 rounded out Dover’s team calculation. Carter Higgins and Wes Richardson also represented the squad. “All the kids in our program have worked h a rd a n d t h e s e guys have certainly exceeded,” Saunders said. “All the races they’ve run, they’ve competed that hard in practice against each other, so it’s been a joy to work with them.” Nanaimo District’s Miryam Bassett placed seventh in the 4.3km senior girls’ race with a time of 16:32. Nanaimo Christian School’s Marita DeSchiffart (16:56) and Wellington’s Amy Morris (17:16) also placed in the top 25. Barsby’s Sean Miller was ninth in the senior boys’ race in 21:24.

Buccaneers battle to beat divisional foes
I
JUNIOR B team defeats Campbell River, Oceanside.
curling
EDI team wins in skins action
BY GREG SAKAKI ThE NEwS BuLLETIN
The Nanaimo Buccaneers had to try to run the gauntlet last week. The city’s junior B hockey team played each of its three division rivals over three nights, losing to the Comox Valley Glacier Kings 3-0 on Thursday at the Nanaimo Ice Centre but then winning road games over the Campbell River Storm, 5-4, and the Oceanside Generals, 4-3. Bucs coach Brad Knight thought his team was soft in Thursday’s loss, as it was outshot 39-23 and didn’t enforce its game plan. “It was a gut check and it was good for us to have one…” he said. “It is what it is; you’re going to get beat.” The next day the Buc-

Nick White and Dayton Boutilier were the other scorers. At Parksville, the Bucs needed overtime to beat the Gens. Jordan Levesque scored two goals includ-
ing the overtime winner and Lee Orpen and Eddy scored the other goals. Alex Mastrodonato made 19 saves for the win as the Buccaneers outshot the Generals 40-22.

Brothers meet in Canadian Bowl BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN
The Regina Thunder will have home-field advantage in the Canadian Bowl, and a loud and proud fan base. The V.I. Raiders are sure to have a cheering contingent, too. And then there will be those who don’t know who to cheer for – namely the Thompson family. “They’re cheering for both teams,” said Alex Thompson, Raiders receiver. He’ll be in the unique situation of taking on his brother, as Thunder receiver Mitch Thompson – a former Raiders player – will also be taking the field in the Canadian Junior Football League’s championship game Saturday (Nov. 9) on the Prairies.
“It will definitely give a little extra motivation to have the win over him when I go back there,” Alex said. “There’s been a little bit of talk going back and forth but it’s all in good fun. We both want each other to play good.” Alex said the Raiders’ defensive backs will have to be wary of Mitch and the other Thunder receivers. “They’re definitely going to have a big matchup on their hands and they’re going to have to play well, but I feel like our defensive backs are good enough to shut them down,” he said. GAME ON … The Canadian Bowl will kick off Saturday at 2 p.m. in Regina, noon Pacific Time … For a preview of the Canadian Bowl, please pick up Thursday’s issue of the News Bulletin.
A mid-Island midget matchup made for a close finish on the football field. The Nanaimo Redmen lost to the Cowichan Bulldogs by a 15-10 score on Sunday at May Richards Bennett Pioneer Park. The red team led 3-0, but gave up two touchdowns and a rouge to fall behind 15-3 in the fourth quarter. Nanaimo got a 90-yard kick return
from Marcus Severe, however, that fired up the team. The Redmen got the ball back and drove all the way to the Bulldogs’ 10-yard line before the visitors came up with a game-saving interception. “The highlight, obviously, was Marcus’s huge punt return at a key time and then getting down there and driving the ball and having a chance to potentially win the game,” said Sean Roden, Redmen coach. “Losses are tough but if we can ever take any consolation in a loss, it’s this one where we hung in there with an undermanned team and

But the oversized, layered grunge look seems to be making a big resurgence with its drop-shouldered cocoon coats and chunky jewelry. The big coats are “really big,” according to Rino, who said they are perfect for layering. “The trend is actually to
wear two coats. You would get this [cocoon] coat and have a lighter-weight coat underneath that you can leave on with your outfit,” she said, adding people could layer the cuffs and collars. Retailers are also bringing in the chunky “rapper-meetsgrunge inspired” chain link jewelry. But Rino said women should pick just one statement piece. Don’t layer them on “as if you are some crazy East L.A rapper. The new grunge is more refined,” she said. The oversized, layered look is also about choosing one pop-out element to mix with more tailored and form-fitting clothes. Try wearing skinny jeans with rhinestone-embellished ankle boots, a tartan blazer, a chain link choker and cocoon jacket. Women will also be fallready with turtle necks, tunic-style dresses and cashmere sweaters in colours like emerald green, heather grey and maroon. Carrie-Ann Dugan, an employee with Nanaimo’s Quintessential clothing store, says local shoppers are opting for a more casual and comfortable look this fall, with “lots of leggings” and layered, textured looks. “The biggest thing I am noticing is the boot and the

layering with the boot and socks,” she said, adding the school-girl-high socks just peek over the top. “Dresses are big too in tunic styles [like from Spicy Sugar or Kensie].” With so many trends this season, shoppers have more choice about what they add to their wardrobes. But don’t feel like you have to get it all, said Nanaimo’s Jen Wynia, author of the Glitter Sunday blog (www.theglittersundayblog.com). “[Our outfits show] people who you are, so you don’t have to use every single trend,” she said. “It’s about making parts of it work together for you in different ways.” Wynia says she prefers the “classic look” over grunge, like coloured skinny jeans, coats with leather detailing and bold jewelry. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Clothes determine first impression
I
New treNds can be incorporated without alienating clients. By Tamara Cunningham The News bulleTiN
When plucking an outfit out of the wardrobe for work, consider this: the clothes you pick could determine your success. According to two Vancouver image consultants, colour and style play a big role in getting women what they want in the workplace, from shaping professional relationships to credibility and workplace advancement. The trick is knowing how to marry goals with the right kind of clothes, they say. Blues and browns are the colours of trust, for example. Straight, masculine clothing in black and grey send a message of authority while soft pastels and ruffles put co-workers at ease. A jacket is believed to give businesswomen credibility and hosiery and heels are considered more professional. “We make our decisions about people within the first two seconds [so] being well put together in a business situation is hugely important,” said Giovanni Amenta, founder of Pink and Grey Style and Image Consulting. “It can mean sales and advancement in your area and it can be a way for people to recognize and

pay attention to you.” Amenta has a long resume in the fashion world. He has been an expert for shows that include Breakfast Television and has worked with celebrities like Michael Buble and Marie Osmond. He says it’s important for people to wear the colours that suit them best, while keeping in mind their choices can also play a role in getting them what they want. Green can make people automatically think money, and dollar-store yellow
symbolizes a bargain, he said. “If you are in a human resources position where you want people to really relate to you and trust you and feel comfortable with you ... then you want to dress softer and more romantic,” he said. “So you use more curve shapes like ruffles and pastels.” For those looking for people to respect their authority, try straight-lined clothes like a V-neck button-up dress shirt in black, grey or dark purple with a straight bob hairstyle, he recommends. Royal purple is also the new red when it comes to commanding attention. Katharine Lazaruk, owner of Vancouver-based ICU Consulting, said women should also look at where they work and if their clothing choices fit within that context. Dressing at the height of fashion might not be appropriate for a corporate environment. “If you are out of context ... people won’t trust you or take you seriously,” she said, adding it can be as simple as wearing red stilettos among conservative over-60 co-workers. Karen Griffin, co-owner of KC’s Boutique in Nanaimo, agrees fashion could be more for after work, but said businesswomen can still add trendy pops of colour with a scarf or jewelry. Knit skirts and pants, block prints, blazers and swing sweaters are also trending for the office this season.

Old style can be fashion forward By Tamara Cunningham The News bulleTiN
When graphic designer Sarita Mielke needs a ‘new’ fashion-forward outfit, she heads to the racks of a Nanaimo thrift shop. “I get bored going into the big stores that cary 30 something of the same T-shirt,” she said. “[At a second-hand store] you ... could find something totally unexpected to take home and I kind of like that aspect.” Mielke searches through clothing racks at thrift shops and consignment stores for well-crafted and vintage clothes. With the help of fashion postings on sites like Pinterest and a little modification, the graphic designer turns last year’s trends into current ensembles – and has fun doing it. Fashion enthusiasts like Mielke say women don’t have to break the bank to look good. There are costsaving tricks from shopping second-hand to choosing outfits that mix and match. Nanaimo’s Carley Lee, author of Little Bird Lee fashion blog, recommends trying to reinvent a wardrobe by looking to blogs and Internet sites like Pinterest for inspiration. Women can learn to match different pieces together
so they feel brand new, she said. Women can also arrange a clothing swap party with friends. “We did this at the end of summer ... [we] all brought clothes we don’t wear or haven’t worn in a long time and ... we took them off each other’s hands,” Lee said. “We just traded.” Sharilee Southorn, owner of Pink Ivory Consignment Boutique, said by shopping at consignment stores, bargain hunters can find quality clothing for a fraction of the price of major retailers. A Calvin Klein sweater, for example, can go for $100, but at her consignment shop it sells for $25. Women looking to stretch their budgets can also focus on the basics like neutral-coloured cardigans and skirts or accessories that can make outfits look more versatile and stylish, the entrepreneur said. She likes adding style to a plain top with a singlestrand crystal necklace or colourful scarves and purses that help to make clothes pop. “I have some great colourful scarves at the store,” she said. “They really add that trendiness to an outfit that you don’t have to break the bank for.” news@nanaimobulletin.com

4 AmAzing, FAst & EAsy WAys to BrightEn your smilE. CHRIS BUSH/THe NewS BUlleTIN
Debbie Beck, recreation coordinator with Nanaimo Parks, Recreation and Culture, said there are plenty of indoor fitness programs to help keep in shape through the dark, wet winter months, but be sure to grab every opportunity to get outside.
Options available to stay fit By Chris Bush The News bulleTiN
It’s wet, windy, cold and dark. Nanaimo might enjoy one of the mildest climates in Canada, but winters here can make short work of a fair weather exercise routine. The trick is to keep moving in spite of Old Man Winter, even if it means moving indoors. At Nanaimo’s public parks and recreation facilities you don’t have to spend a ton of cash to keep in shape. “There are so many great programs for women who want to stay active and lead a healthy lifestyle,” said Damon Johnston, recreation coordinator at Oliver Woods Recreation Centre. A short list of programs catering to all ages and levels of fitness and ability include rookie boot camp, gentle yoga or ‘flow yoga’ and restorative yoga. “Restorative Yoga is focused on stillness and calm and stretching, so you’re holding poses for up to five or 10 minutes,” Johnston said. “It’s a very focused kind of style of yoga, but for anybody with mobility issues and chronic injuries.” The centre also has drop-in sports – basketball, pickleball and volleyball. “Our community centre is for everybody,” Johnston said. “We’re not about your ability or experiences.” Teresa Harwood, recreation coordi-
nator at Nanaimo Aquatic Centre, has fitness programs for women who don’t want to drive across town to get fit. “The one I love to highlight is called Full Body Fitness for Women,” Harwood said. “It’s a fitness class for women, geared to beginners and intermediates and employs a variety of hand-held weights and exercise bands in a program with a pace set to music. “It’s held twice a week, so it gets you there twice a week, in the mornings, while we have child minding available at the centre,” Harwood said. It doesn’t rain every day throughout the winter. Sometimes it snows, sure, but most days the temperatures are mild and often sunny too, so there are plenty of opportunities to get outside. “We have a winter walkers program,” said Debbie Beck, recreation coordinator. “The healthiest thing to do is get out for a walk. You get out there, you feel fresh, you feel alive, you feel energetic. I like this time to be active and we do have some great hikes coming up.” Lunchtime is a great time to take advantage of daylight and get out for a walk, mini boot camp or a run through Nanaimo’s major parks. Stairs, squats, pushups, chin ups and other exercises can all be done on outdoor mini circuit trails at Participarks at Beban and Bowen parks and Oliver Woods Community Centre. photos@nanaimobulletin.com
Vitamin D key nutrient in winter Dark, rainy winter days can lure anyone into the temptation to den up and eat comfort foods that might not be so great for keeping energy levels high and weight down. Vitamin D is linked to a list of health benefits and really the only way to ensure you get adequate amounts of it is from a supplement. The body manufactures its own vitamin D compounds with sufficient exposure to sunlight that can be in short supply in winter. Otherwise you have to eat a lot of egg yolks or oils from fatty fish, especially fish liver, which might not contain enough to protect you through the season. Pablo Miramontes, a registered holistic nutritionist with Island Natural Foods the Market, recommends taking a vitamin D supplement from October through April. For everything else, such as vitamin C and beta carotene, he says, there are great local sources. Cranberries and arguta kiwi are a good source of vitamin
C and plant compounds that help prevent bladder infections. Squash contains beta carotene and other carotenoids that protect skin from premature aging. “The cranberries we have are from Yellow Point,” says Miramontes. “The squash we have is coming from McNab’s [farm, also in Yellow Point] The arguta kiwis are local as well. Those are really good if you haven’t tried those. They’re so good. They’re my new addiction.” Rosemary contains carnosic acid, another potential cancer preventative. Brussels sprouts. Love ’em or hate ’em, they’re the highest food source of glucosinolates, compounds that might reduce risk of breast, uterine and other cancers. Kale is another good source. Miramontes also recommends apples for their unique polyphenol composition. They have been linked to potential health benefits, including anti-aging and reducing breast cancer risk.
