Parents pack Rutherford consultation

THE NEWS BULLETIN

With Rutherford Elementary School facing closure as part of Nanaimo school district’s facilities plan update, stakeholders packed the gym for consultation Thursday night. One of the topics at the meeting, which was attended by 316 people, was the school’s proximity to students’ homes. If shuttered in 2017, some students would relocate to Frank J. Ney Elementary School. Approximately t h re e k i l o m e t re s separate the two schools. Chris Cake, grandmother of a Frank Ney student, said while walking is good, it’s not safe along Hammond Bay Road, which is situated along the walk between the schools. “Kids gain independence by learning to walk responsibly to school. It’s a [bad] road in the winter. It’s too far and too long for small children ... it’d be just one big traffic jam, more driving kids places, as opposed to doing the healthy thing and walking.” See ‘FORMAT’ /4

Alvin Ginther, owner of Buns Master Bakery, hopes to sell his business to buyers from China through the Provincial Nominee Program, but is still waiting to hear if the application survives the program’s review process.

Immigration backlog delays retirement

BAKER LOOKS to Chinese money to take over bakery.

lvin Ginther peers solemnly from flourdusted glasses in an office that looks out at his production bakery, a place he hopes to sell through British Columbia’s Provincial Nominee Program. An angr y man once asked why he’s “selling out” to the Chinese. “I said, well listen, you bring me a Canadian who, No. 1, has the money and, No. 2, wants to work, and I’ll sell it to him without a doubt. Blink my eye and it’s gone.”

Trouble is, for the past 10 years no one’s wanted it. It’s immigrant-hopefuls from China who could give the longtime baker the retirement for which he’s been longing. Foreign entrepreneurs have been buying businesses in the Harbour City or trying to, through the B.C. Provincial Nominee Program. The initiative is aimed at encouraging investment and economic growth while putting entrepreneurs on the fast track to permanent residency and it’s seen increasing uptake. In 2010, the province reported 135 business immigration applications,

which shot up to 746 in 2012 and 1,085 last year. Within those four years, investment by entrepreneur immigrants reached $472 million with 1,449 jobs created in B.C. In Nanaimo, there have been 134 applications for

businesses since 2003-04, with 26 nominated for residency. Sixty-five applications are awaiting a nomination decision. It’s estimated to take as long as three years for the province to review PNP applications, according to a B.C. government website. The government has been faced with an “unprecedented” increase in applications, which the ministry responsible for labour blames on the cancellation of the federal immigrant investor program and overhaul of the temporary foreign worker program. Peter McGee, economic development coordinator with Nanaimo Economic

Development Corporation, said for awhile the program seemed like the golden goose of business acquisition, with any owner interested in selling seeing it as a way out. “It just turned out not to be the lottery ticket that a lot of people thought it was and that’s sort of a good thing because it puts the emphasis now onto proper succession planning,” he said. The problem was, with lag time on applications, some business people would think they’d successfully sold their business only to find out the new owner’s application was denied. See ‘BAKER’ /3

Two men in custody after jewelry store robbery

SuSpEctS facE multiple charges.

Two men are in police custody following an armed robbery at Woodgrove Centre. Nanaimo Mounties responded to multiple 911 calls shortly after 8:30 p.m. Thursday when two men in masks entered the shopping centre, went to

the Michael Hill jewelry store, produced what was believed to be a firearm, then smashed display cases, grabbed jewelry and fled in a vehicle. The vehicle, which turned out to be a stolen SUV, was later spotted on the Island Highway and followed to Ladysmith, where two men were arrested and are now in custody at Nanaimo RCMP detachment.

“The vehicle was seen leaving the mall,” said Cpl. Jon Stuar t, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman. “Members were able to get a description out right away, located the vehicle on the inland Island Highway and ... pursued it down towards Ladysmith and shortly after that one male was located in the vehicle and another male was located on the street.”

Police also recovered property allegedly taken during the robbery and a firearm. “There was a firearm recovered and there were reports of a firearm being used during the robbery,” Stuart said. Police believe the two men arrested were the only suspects involved with the crime. They are facing multiple charges, which have yet to be approved

by the Crown. Both men are scheduled to appear before a provincial court judge Friday afternoon. Threats were made against the employees, but no one was physically harmed. Police are asking any witnesses to the robbery to contact the Nanaimo RCMP directly at 250-7542345. Please refer to file No. 2015-29626. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Event spotlights mental health As the leaves and thermostats fall, people’s moods can, too. That’s why October is good timing for mental illness awareness activities like Beyond the Blues: Education and Screening Days in order to recognize and help prevent mental health problems like depression and anxiety. “People seem more ready to think about and talk about mental health in

the fall,” said Sarah Hamid-Balma, director of mental health promotion for the Canadian Mental Health Association’s B.C. division and Beyond the Blues provincial coordinator. “Families are in the thick of school and work schedules and stresses are mounting. Daylight changes can affect routines, too. Cold bugs aren’t the only thing we should be thinking about keep-

ing at bay – our mental immune system can use a boost, too, right about now.” A Beyond the Blues event is scheduled for Nanaimo this Thursday (Oct. 15), 5-8 p.m. at the Beban Park social centre. Topics to be covered include education, mental health and risky drinking screening, plus a special presentation by Kristen Berube on anxiety takes place 6:30-7:30 p.m.

Baker finds himself in a holding pattern From /1

New entrepreneurs put their lives on hold without knowing the success rate, said Angela Fang, owner of the immigration and investing consulting firm Integrity Impact Management Group. She recalls when it took nine days for one prospective business person to get an interview for a work permit. With more immigration and investment consultants, applications and not enough processors, wait times shot up to 12 to 16 months. Now it’s up to 36 to 39 months for paperwork filed between June 2012 and May 2013. “It’s become a little bit chaos since last year to now,” said Fang, although she notes the success of some to acquire new businesses like Sushi Eh and Jumping Jiminy’s.

Ginther has been waiting on government since 2013. With 27 years operating Buns Master Bakery on Bowen Road, he’s ready for retirement. He wants to garden and travel and crack open a book, something he hasn’t done since his wife died of cancer more than two years ago. He has buyers ready to purchase and guarantee his employees jobs for the next year, but he has no idea where the application is in the government’s pile. He wonders how long he should wait. “You are really in a holding pattern,” he said. “That’s kind of disheartening because the government sets up a nice program but then from what I can gather is, they don’t fund it properly to process it.” news@nanaimobulletin.com

Kim Smythe, Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce chief executive officer, left, and Nanaimo Mayor Bill McKay look over artist renditions of a 300-room, $100-million Hilton hotel proposed for construction on Front Street in downtown Nanaimo that, if built, would rely heavily on Asian tourists visiting the city.

City needs to work proactively

BuSiNESS lEAdErS suggest targeting Chinese investment.

By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN

If a pot of capital exists in China, then Nanaimo needs to work to attract it, say two community leaders. “We know the money is there, so we need to go there to attract immigration and investment,” said Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce president Kim Smythe. The Harbour City has landed on the radar of Chinese investors, who are touring Nanaimo in higher numbers than before, but this city is looking to attract more. Mayor Bill McKay said the city isn’t specifically targeting Chinese investment – it’s coming to Nanaimo. He sees three to five delegations a month, while former economic development corporation CEO Sasha Angus previously reported an uptick in investment inquiries from one every five to 10 days in 2012 to two or three a week. Last year, there was the mega, $50-million SSS Manhao

hotel proposal, which ultimately fell through, and NEDC spent more than $15,000 on hosting. An estimated $91,110 was spent in total over 2014, on marketing, business hosting and foreign investment and an overseas trip to China by the arms-length corporation. Smythe and McKay talked about trips in the near future to promote Nanaimo and speak to investor groups. The more investment there is, the more businesses thrive, expand and the economy grows stronger, said Smythe, adding those who also invest their lives in the community add diversity and culture. Investment out of China is relatively new and Canada’s legal system, low dollar and welcoming community is attractive. Stewart Beck, president and CEO of the Asia-Pacific Foundation of Canada, was involved in the first Chinese investment in Canada as consul general in Shanghai from 1999-2002. It’s become an important place to prospect for investment. China is the “flavour of the month,” he said. Investment has fallen to 6.5-7 per cent annually from 10 per cent for the past decade, but

that’s still three times what the growth is in Canada. “Everybody thinks wow, there’s big piles of money there, we should see if we could actually tap into that, which is not a bad idea,” Beck said, although he points out there are other growing countries in Asia with stable economies, including Japan and India. McKay said the city is interested in investment from elsewhere, like the U.S., but he also said the community should work to attract investors if they are ready, willing and able. Even investors’ contacts can help business, he points out. The Hilton and Gordon Street hotel need more than a local market to drive them because Nanaimo isn’t a destination, but investors have connections and can create a destination. “That’s how Las Vegas started. It was nothing but desert before,” he said. news@nanaimobulletin.com

On Thursday, the News Bulletin talks to an immigration consultant, a Chinese business owner and looks at how these new Canadians are being welcomed to Nanaimo.

Facilities Plan Update Public Forums Including Proposed School Closures

The Board of Education is currently consulting parents, students and the public about its Facilities Plan Update. The Board has been holding public forums to discuss the proposals in the plan. The format of these forums has been designed to encourage dialogue and discussion. At each meeting, there is a short introductory session; a presentation; a facilitator-led discussion group on topics of importance to each community; an opportunity for community comments and a short closing session. The remaining meetings scheduled for school zones are: Tuesday, October 13: 7 to 9 p.m. - Frank J. Ney Elementary Discussion group topics will include the proposed construction of a new wing at Frank J. Ney Elementary as well as the proposed relocation of students from Rutherford Elementary to Frank J. Ney, McGirr and Randerson Ridge elementary schools. Central Zone - Woodlands Secondary Tuesday, October 20: 7 to 9 p.m. – Woodlands Secondary Discussion group topics include the proposed closure of Woodlands Secondary in June 2016, with the relocation of students into Wellington Secondary and Nanaimo District Secondary schools and the proposed relocation of specialty academies. District Programs Tuesday, October 27: 7 to 9 p.m. - Nanaimo District Secondary Discussion group topics will include the proposed relocation of district programs as well as the proposed relocation of the Learn@Home programs (K-7 and 8-12). The plan proposes significant changes to schools in our district and it is important for the Board of Education to hear parents’ input. We hope that as many parents as possible will attend one of these forums and participate in the discussion groups. In addition, at any time during the consultation process, individuals and groups can submit written input to the Board of Education by email to consultation@ sd68.bc.ca, fax 250 741-5309, or mail to the Board of Education, 395 Wakesiah Avenue, Nanaimo, BC V9R 3K6 by Sunday, November 15, 2015.

Kristy Marks, a re g i o n a l d i s t r i c t senior planner, said open houses conclude this week and meetings with farmer’s institutes, as well as with other members of the farming community, remain. She estimates consultation will conclude in early November. Proposed amendments could go before regional district directors by early January, followed by referrals to external agencies. Bylaw amendments would then be voted on after that. Marks said the key to the project is to help remove barriers

iNformatioN gathEriNg on farming community includes open houses, surveys and comments. By Karl yu The News BulleTiN

The Regional District of Nanaimo is working its way t o w a rd p o s s i b l e amendments to regulations on agriculture. The regional district has been inviting comments, holding open houses and running a survey to gather information from the farming community, with the aim to identify zoning roadblocks that affect agriculture. Barbara Ebell, owner of Nanoose

Edibles Organic Farm, said she’s been active in consultation and said it doesn’t get to the guts of what’s wrong with agriculture on Vancouver Island and how to change it. “My public question was what they were doing about guaranteeing water for the farmers because with all the development all close into a lot of the farms, the water’s being gobbled up from the aquifer by these developments, where there was nothing, they’re planning

diStaNcE to polling station concerns downtown senior. By Karl yu The News BulleTiN

With the 2015 Canadian election campaign drawing to a close, a Nanaimo senior is concerned about accessibility for older voters who reside downtown. Advance voting concluded yesterday and with general election day Monday (Oct. 19), Jean Thomson, a 96-yearold Nanaimoite who resides at a Cameron Island building, says she will have to go to Harewood Activity Centre, at 195 Fourth St., to vote. Thomson, who uses a walker, said she’s concerned about the distance and topography. “It’s 2.3 kilometres each way

to get over to the polling station on Fourth Street and it’s uphill,” she said. While Thomson said she’ll be able to get a ride to vote, she worries about other seniors in the area. Elaine Shorrocks said she had to travel from her Harewood-area residence to Brechin Elementary School to take part in advance voting Friday. “I wouldn’t have brought myself – I don’t have a car. So if it wasn’t for my neighbour that was going too, I wouldn’t vote,” Shorrocks said. Dorothy Sitek, Elections Canada’s B.C. media spokeswoman, said it’s important that polling station locations be at reasonable distances for all electors. “It is the local Elections Canada officials who make the decisions on the ground on the location of polls, both for election day and advance poll-

ing days, but if it’s not convenient, you can vote by special ballot. You can actually vote from the comfort of your own home. You can ask for a special ballot kit to be mailed to you,” she said. Special ballot requests must be made by today (Oct. 13) at 6 p.m. Nanaimo’s Elections Canada office is located at the former Dufferin Elementary School site, 1111 Dufferin Cres. Electors looking to vote in person must go to the polling station designated on their voter’s card, said Sitek. In order to find out which polling station to go to vote, she recommends going to Election Canada’s website and entering your postal code in the ‘My voter information’ section.

CANADIAN COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER AWARD 2015

EDITORIAL

Re-drawn riding provides focus Regardless of who is elected in Nanaimo-Ladysmith, there seems to be at least one big winner in our riding: voter engagement. This current election campaign is freshest in our minds, of course, but it seems as though people are thinking about the election, talking about it and participating in the process, more so than in the past. We think a major reason for that is the re-drawn riding boundaries. From the start, it’s made a lot of sense to have all of Nanaimo in one riding, rather than lumping half of us in with Duncan and half of us with Port Alberni. Voters no longer need an electoral map, compass and GPS to determine their constituency. All-candidates’ meetings are more likely to take place in Nanaimo, and what’s more, the topics of discussion are bound to have a more local focus. This benefits the politicians and the electorate, and both seem to realize that, as there have been half a dozen debates already with more to come. One all-candidates’ meeting last week drew 300 people, some of them standing outside the doorway or peeking in a window. Another outcome of the new riding boundaries is a certainty that our Member of Parliament will be from Nanaimo, or nearby – three of the main party candidates live in the city and one lives on Gabriola Island. Whomever we elect, we can have a greater expectation that he or she will keep Nanaimo’s concerns in mind while in Ottawa. All these factors have localized the federal election campaign, and that can only be a positive, particularly if it increases voter turnout on Monday (Oct. 19). As the federal party leaders criss-cross the country’s 338 ridings, sometimes their campaign trails will steer away from issues that are important to Nanaimo. But the local candidates can keep the conversation going in Nanaimo-Ladysmith in the meantime, and remind people why politics matter, and matter here.

Trudeau took a left turn and announced three years of deficit budgets, out-socializing the socialists. Pundits said that might have been the moment that cost him the election. A few more debates were had, with May gate crashing via Twitter, and the Tories and the Bloc Québécois threw a niqab on the table. All that happened and so might this: Liberals are polling neckand-neck with Conservatives among decided voters. Did you ever think we might be saying Prime Minister Trudeau in a week? Or continue saying Prime Minister Stephen Harper? If I could digress into the serious for a bit and point out that the issues discussed will set the direction of our country for decades to come. Policies on child care and parental support will directly affect citizens’ wealth and ability to work; education options, such as student loan forgiveness, interest elimination or free tuition, affect the skills of young workers replacing the Boomers; leadership on trade and resource extraction will define the Canadian economy. An election will make us laugh, cringe or roll our eyes but it will also define us. When you stand alone in that voting booth, you choose not only a candidate, but also your vision of Canada. Happy voting. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

Re: Strategically or not, vote, Editorial, Oct. 6. British Columbians have a unique opportunity to vote strategically not to defeat someone, but to elect someone. It is clear that in a divided three-way split House of Commons, the presence of a strong Green Party contingent will add to the pursuit of co-operation and effective legislation. We have the good fortune of having a dozen Green candidates on the coast and Vancouver Island who are within striking distance of winning their ridings. Only the fear of a Stephen Harper majority has been holding them back. Now that we know that this is not going to happen, we can take the rare opportunity to elect

Harper’s mantra, thus we are seduced into focusing on wedge issues which pander to our dark side. We are so easily frightened and so easily bought. This debasement of the fabric of our society is ruining our country. It has been years since this country has been respected internationally. Where once we were admired, now we are seen as a northern chapter of American Republicans toadying to massive corporations and voted for by the credulous, the greedy and the fearful. My integrity is not for sale. It was most reassuring to see 900 Green Party supporters at a rally locally. I will vote my conscience, not my fears.

Trade deal suspicious

www.bclocalnews.com

To the Editor,

The Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal looks like the North American Free Trade Agreement on steroids. Yuck. That many economists support both is enough to make one suspicious. If NAFTA was so great for Canada, how come workers’ wages and salaries have stayed the same or declined since the 1970s despite productivity increasing? Not to mention thousands are now using food banks and many are homeless. I guess we’re supposed to ignore the majority because a few greed freaks got obscenely richer from NAFTA. Both deals give corporations the right to sue Canada for health and environmental protection laws that may impact their profits – assumed profits.

Re: Terms drafted for review of city services, Oct. 1. What is going on at city hall? The news I read leaves me with a very surreal feeling, like I’ve been dropped into a parallel universe, a bizarro Dr. Who storyline where up has become down. I mean, where else but in bizarro parallel universe would anyone spend $50,000 to have a consultant tell them how to play nice with others? And remember, this is coming from a group of councilors largely elected on the basis that they would do away with this sort of insane waste. Now they want to spend $200,000 on another consultant in order to conduct a core review of city services. So let me get this straight, they want to spend $200K to find ways to save money? Isn’t that the job of city staff? I mean, they run the city, they should know where efficiencies can be made and savings found.

Brendan Millbank Nanaimo

To the Editor,

Re: Terms drafted for review of city services, Oct. 1. The mayor and a majority of councillors sought election with a commitment to enact a thorough and independent ‘core review’ process. Council is in disarray, unable to agree on much of anything. This leaves the city staff, the bureaucracies and their unions exactly where they wish to be, carrying on unimpeded and unexamined. City management and all of the affiliates associated with operating the city’s business are vested in maintaining the status quo. Our membership is concerned that the core review will prove to be expensive and ineffective, resulting in little change while offering a cover of examination to those who most benefit from our current state of affairs. It is time for a fully independent, comprehensive analysis of city services and expenditures to be underway.

Chocolatier whips up decadence for annual gourmet food festival

CHOCOLATIER CREATES sweet treats to showcase at TheatreOne’s Bite of Nanaimo. By RACHEL STERN The News BulleTiN

The chocolate tasting experience starts with sight. The glistening sea salt teasing the top of a square morsel or a sprinkle of chili popping its orange, red dust across the surface of a rounded delight. Smell the richness, the earthiness or fruity decadence of the creation. Hear the snap of a solid chocolate block. Once the sweet dark chocolate hits the heat of your mouth and dissolves, the experience reaches a new level. It saturates the tongue, lingering on the roof of your mouth. The flavour lasts. One minute later and the taster can still savour the remnants of the chocolate. That’s the sign of good-quality chocolate, said Nanaimo chocolatier Veronika McKerrell, owner of Cherub Chocolate. McKerrell loves making chocolate at her small shop located at 165 Commercial St., because of customer’s responses. “It always brings some excitement and a little light to people’s lives,” she said. Chocolate requires tempering. It’s one of the most important steps, said McKerrell. If it isn’t done properly the chocolate could be crumbly or lack the smoothness of a quality product. The process of creating the best quality is only a difference of one or two degrees. “You cannot just fix it. You have to start from the beginning,” said McKerrell. After tempering, the chocolate is placed on a surface to cool. When she wants to work with the chocolate it is brought up to a warming temperature and the artisan only has one minute to create the product or it solidifies. If customers walk into McKerrell’s store when she is in the middle of making a batch she can’t just drop what she is doing or she’ll have to start from scratch. Cherub Chocolate is one of the participants in this year’s Bite of Nanaimo gourmet food festival. McKerrell is bringing about six different creations for people to enjoy at Bite of Nanaimo. A recent trip to Scotland ignited an idea to take millionaire’s shortbread and create a chocolate treat based on it. It has a shortbread crust, a layer of caramel covered in chocolate. Another is chocolate almond with salted caramel, similar to a chocolate almond tart. presents... The 23

Plans begin to mark Canada’s 150th

HeLp NeeDeD for celebration events for milestone.

Canada’s 150th birthday is nearly two years away, but local organizations are already planning for a 10-day celebration in 2017. More than 25 agencies, including the Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Nanaimo Business Improvement Association, Tourism Nanaimo, Nanaimo Port Authority and the city, met recently to strike up an organizing committee to come up with ideas for the celebra-

tion and start attracting participants. “It’s early in the game, but we want it to be an amazing event when it happens,” said Diana Johnstone, Canada 150 board co-chairwoman. Johnstone said Nanaimo needs to plan big and one of her ideas is to draw major performers for a music festival and hopes to get Diana Krall and Elvis Costello behind the idea, so they can help draw major names to the festival, but there are also other events and activities that need to be organized. The Canada 150 board, which is being administered by the business improvement

Nanaimo News Bulletin 21

association, has already set up a committee tasked with fundraising for the events through community initiatives and is already working on grant proposals, but organizers are also calling out to businesses, sport and community organizations to get involved and sponsor, donate or volunteer. “If Duncan can pull off Sunfest and bring in those huge, big names, why can’t we do it?” Johnstone asked. “We just have to think big.” To learn more, please contact Johnstone at 250-7549996, e-mail diandjack@shaw. ca, or Wally Wells, Canada 150 board co-chairman, at 250-7419887, e-mail wells@live.ca.

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

DEATHS

CORNISH, Gordon James Born June 26, 1927 in Senlac, Saskatchewan. Dad was one of ten children growing up on the family farm. Dad passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of his family on September 20, 2015 at Wexford Creek Seniors Complex. Dad always had a smile and a joke to share. Anyone who knew him would say he was always such a gentleman, a kind and generous man who always had a twinkle in his blue eyes. Dad enjoyed life to the fullest and held many interests and hobbies over the years. He was a skilled carpenter; he built the family home on Stirling Avenue. In his early years he loved to hunt and fish; he was a member of the Fish & Game club for years and made many bow and arrow sets. He loved swimming, curling and golfing. He enjoyed woodcarving and making wooden toys and games for the kids and grandkids on his wood lathe. In his later years he was active with gardening, wine making, stained glass, reading and loved doing his crossword puzzles. He was on the BC Seniors Lawn Bowling team several years in a row and was active in the grounds keeping of the Bowen Park lawn bowling greens. Through his younger years he held many jobs in the forest industry. He worked on the construction of the Harmac Pulp Mill and retired from Harmac in 1988. His wife Berta predeceased dad in 2010. His granddaughter Jennifer also predeceased him in 2011. He is survived by his daughters Dora (Brian Dishkin, predeceased) and Karen (Steve Stupich); sons Duane (Christina) and Dan. Also survived by grandchildren Aaron and Craig Dishkin; Amber Cornish, and Mary Stead; great grandchildren Abby, Zoe, Ethan, Nathan, Victoria, Haily and Kayla. He also leaves behind his sister Mary Gooden of Langley. The family would like to thank Marilyn Aman for her many years of care and companionship with Dad and with Mom, Dr. Van Rensburg and to the exceptional staff at Wexford Creek Seniors Complex. The staff went above and beyond with their care for Dad and for taking care of us when the time came. There will be Celebration of Life on October 17 from 1:00 to 4:00 at 13040 Cameron Road, Cassidy.

For those who love, time is not. Missing you today and always.

Bucs finishing checks

JR. B HOCKEY team defeats first-place opponent in OT. BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN

The Nanaimo Buccaneers raised their game in crunch time and were able to beat a first-place hockey team. The Bucs defeated the Campbell River Storm in double overtime by a 2-1 score on Thursday at the Nanaimo Ice Centre. Chad Bell scored the game winning goal, firing home a rebound while crashing the crease with just 30 seconds left in double OT. “It’s definitely a great win

against a team like Campbell River,” Bell said. “They’re a good team and they bring their A game whenever they’re in our rink.” The Storm opened the scoring midway through the first period, but halfway through the game the rink tilted and the Bucs brought waves of pressure. “Ever yone played their heart out and that’s how you get two points,” said Dan Lemmon, Buccaneers coach. He said his team’s willingness to finish checks was effective against the Storm. “They’ve shown signs, when the going gets tough and it gets physical, they don’t like being first on pucks and that’s something that our team will do and it’s the reason we won

today,” Lemmon said. “We’re not a team that’s going to be making tic-tac-toe passes through the neutral zone, we’re a team that’s going to be chipping pucks and finishing checks and that’s when we succeed and that’s what we’ll keep doing.” Trent Bell scored Nanaimo’s first goal, Jordan Levesque had two assists and netminder Alex Orth finished with 31 saves including a pad stack on a Storm breakaway in overtime. GAME ON … The Bucs played the Saanich Braves on the road Friday after press time. Next home action is Oct. 15 when the Comox Valley Glacier Kings come to the NIC for a 7:15 p.m. faceoff. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Inbrief sports

Clippers play Interior teams The Nanaimo Clippers were hoping to give thanks for a winning weekend. The city’s B.C. Hockey League club played an Interior road swing over the long weekend, taking on the Vernon Vipers on Friday, the Salmon Arm SilverBacks on Saturday and the Merritt Centennials on Sunday. Results of the games were not available at press time due to early deadlines necessitated by Thanksgiving weekend. Please visit www. nanaimobulletin.com/ sports.

Four V.I. Raiders named all-stars The V.I. Raiders’ tough defence was recognized with four all-star selections. Defensive end Quinton Bowles, linebacker Dexter Shea and defensive backs Cole Virtanen and Josh Paisley were chosen as B.C. Football Conference all-stars for 2015. No offensive players on the Raiders were selected as all-stars. Shea finished second in the league in defensive points and second in tackles with 38, and also had two fumble recoveries this season. Bowles had 29 tackles and five and a half sacks. Virtanen, a rookie, was third in the BCFC in defensive points and had 31 tackles and five interceptions. Paisley made 34 tackles and assisted on 11 more. The Raiders host the Langley Rams in the semifinals this Saturday (Oct. 17) at 1 p.m. at Caledonia Park.

Diverse programs keep seniors active

CLASSES, WORKSHOPS offer new skills and social connections. BY KARL YU THE NEWS BULLETIN

ou don’t get older, you get better, goes the old saying, and Nanaimoites aged 60-plus can do that by partaking in programs through the City of Nanaimo. Offerings through Nanaimo Harbour City Seniors’ membership are diverse and participants can take part in anything from arts and crafts, games, dance, fitness, languages, music, special interest and sports, says Michele Duerksen, a seniors recreation coordinator for the City of Nanaimo’s Parks, Recreation and Environment department. Included in those categories are pottery, bridge, tai chi, ukulele, lawn bowling and volleyball. Duerksen points to one of the newer classes, country line dancing at Departure Bay Activity Centre, as being particularly popular. Duerksen says 1,500 members participate per year. Membership is $41 annually and a majority of programs are free, although a fee is sometimes charged if an instructor is required. Participants get active, whether by exercising self or mind, and there is a social component as well. “It’s huge for making connections, especially if someone has lost their spouse or is new to town. That is one of the main keys in keeping folks active for life,” said Duerksen. “If you have somewhere to go, you have a friend calling you up, that’s exactly why you’re engaged here.” Maureen Evans practises tai chi at Bowen Park Activity Centre, and preaches its virtues. “The benefits for me is that

you exercise every muscle, you strengthen everything and it helps with balance and back aches, everything that you need to keep healthy,” said Evans. She says her class does more than just tai chi, however. “Socially, we have a wonderful group and we do things together,” said Evans. “One of our members has

a lovely home and she invites us out for Halloween and for Christmas and for Easter and we have a great time.” Ron Levesque, a volunteer who helps with dancing, references a New England Journal of Medicine study as a reason to remain active – it found dancing reduces risk of senility by 76 per cent. “I think the reason is you’re using

your body, but you also have to use your mind to remember the steps ... it’s a great form of exercise and it has the added benefit of making you think about what you’re going to do,” said Levesque.

Important for both kids and adults to find time for play

CITY’S PARKS, playgrounds and trails offer variety of ways to stay active while having fun.

One of my family’s favourite things to do together is spend time in our parks. This last weekend we discovered a new playground in town and had a great

time swaying in the swings, climbing the monkey bars and racing down the slides. It was so much fun, and it was a good reminder of how being active and

activities help to decrease stress, broaden our social circle and can make us healthier – both physically and emotionally. Here are some ways to keep us playing no matter what our age: ◆ Start a walking challenge with friends and family. Wear a pedometer and see if you can all reach the daily goal of a minimum of 10,000 steps. Come up with some great

prizes for the winner. Who doesn’t like a little fun competition? ◆ Participate in a new activity. The City of Nanaimo’s Play and Learn programs for the preschooler teach a variety of physical and cognitive skills through play. For everyone else, there is a variety of programs available, including dancing, cooking, arts, crafts, fitness, language and music – all of which help to keep our brains healthy.
