Archival work hampered by federal cuts

CYCLE PATHS

BY TOBY GORMAN THE NEWS BULLETIN

CHRIS BUSH/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Cyclists Allen Henderson, left, and Cj Heavey check a map while discussing cycling routes during a stopover at a Bike to Work Week celebration station set up Thursday near the E&N Trail and St. George Street. The Downtown Nanaimo Business Improvement Association, Hub City Cycle Co-op, Cob’s Bread and Starbucks offered up snacks, T-shirts, water bottles and minor bike adjustments to riders passing by on the trail.

Federal cuts to Library and Archives Canada will likely result in large gaps in historical record-taking at the Nanaimo Community Archives.

The Conservative government announced in March it was eliminating its $1.7-million National Archival Development Program, distributed by the non-profit Canadian Council of Archives in every province and territory to about 800 community archives across the country.

Without the funding, provincial archival councils will no longer have a mandate and community archivists will be left to stand alone without advice on how to properly archive items.

Christine Meutzner, Nanaimo Community Archives manager, said the funding was imperative to properly research and store record groups, and that provincial councils are important sources of advice to ensure archives are kept to a high standard.

“There is nothing similar at any other level as far as funding like this goes,” she said, adding that fundraising would take valuable time away from her core duties. “There’s nowhere else to go.

“What really bothers me is the provincial councils will col-

lapse so that my archives advisor service is gone,” she said.

“We archive to a national standard so that items are easy to find and preserved, it’s not just done willy-nilly. The ability for me to have that professional association and collegiality and that help is gone. It’s an awful effect and nobody wants to have the sense they are operating on their own.”

Inbrief Not much new in forest strategy city scene

Skywatchers invited to park A celestial rarity will take place next week, and the Nanaimo Astronomy Society will be at Maffeo Sutton Park to help people view it.

From 3-7 p.m. Tuesday (June 5), Venus will pass between the Earth and the sun, an event that won’t happen here again until the year 2117, and the astronomy society will have volunteers at the park equipped with protective glasses and telescopes with solar filters so members of the public can watch Venus transit the sun safely.

The transit will begin at 3:06 p.m. and volunteers will be available from 2:30 p.m. until dark.

People are warned not to look at the sun with unfiltered binoculars, telescopes or the naked eye, as doing so can cause permanent eye damage.

For more details on the event, please e-mail webmaster@nanaimoastronomy.com or phone 250-740-0472.

Province adds Family Day Premier Christy Clark is pushing ahead with plans for a new Family Day holiday in February, after independent MLAs voted against the move.

NDP MLAs supported B.C. Liberal members in the key vote to approve the new statutory holiday Tuesday. The first one will be next Feb. 11, and the second Monday in February each year after that.

Independent MLAs criticized the move and forced a standing vote, after listing the costs it would impose on business.

PLAN BUILDS on previous reports, earlier changes.

BY JENN McGARRIGLE THE NEWS BULLETIN

The province’s new forestry plan is a combination of recommendations made by the Working Roundtable on Forestry three years ago and work the industry is already doing.

Rick Jeffery, president of Coast Forest Products Association, which represents a number of coastal forest companies, said the recently released Forest Sector Strategy doesn’t include anything radically different from what’s already being done, but reflects a focus on what is working.

“You’re not looking necessarily at what’s new, but what’s effective,” he said.

“It builds on the roundtable stuff that industry is doing.

It’s all a continuation.”

Jeffery said industry has grown business in Korea, China and Japan and the

plan calls for furthering those markets, as well as some exploration work in India.

“We’ve been in Asia for 10 years,” he said. “What we’ve learned is relying on the U.S. market is not a good strategy.”

The roundtable led to leg-

islation requiring all building projects funded by the province to use wood as the default building material and the B.C. Building Code was changed in 2009 to allow for six-storey wood frame construction (up from four storeys).

Jeffery said the next step

outlined in the strategy is to increase the use of lumber in six-storey or less commercial buildings – wood is only used in about five per cent of the non-residential building market, which is about a $365 billion per year industry in North America.

Diversification of products as well as markets is also part of the strategy.

Opportunities in the bioenergy sector, such as using a wood-based substance to make plastic products and biofuels, are being explored, said Jeffery.

“There’s a whole world of opportunity on those kind of products,” he said.

“Really we’re in a place where we’re developing those products.”

And to support companies, the plan includes a review of the tax structure for the forestry industry to ensure B.C. remains competitive. The review, which Jeffery said was prompted by the return to the PST, is expected to be complete by the end of the summer.

Jeffery said industry is

seeking improvements to research and development tax credits to reduce the risk of developing new products for the market and accelerated capital cost write-offs.

Darrel Wong, president of the United Steelworkers local 1-1937, criticized the plan for a lack of investment in manufacturing infrastructure.

Since 2002, 15 sawmills on the coast have closed, he said, and while industry has worked on markets in China and Japan, it does not do B.C. workers much good if all that is being shipped out is raw logs.

“The issue here is that at this point in time, they really need to focus on an industry that creates jobs and creates manufacturing,” said Wong, adding that he would have liked to see incentives in the plan that encourage companies to invest in this aspect of the industry.

“Most of [the plan] is stuff that’s been talked about forever,” he said. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Provincial parents’ group advocates against school Wi-Fi

BY JENN McGARRIGLE THE NEWS BULLETIN

As Nanaimo school district continues plans to roll out wireless Internet access in all schools, a provincial parent group is calling on districts to limit Wi-Fi in schools.

Two resolutions regarding wireless networks were debated and passed at the B.C. Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils’s annual general meeting.

One asked school boards to stop installing Wi-Fi in schools when other options are available.

The second calls on districts to have one school at each level (elementary, middle, high school) free of wireless technologies.

gerous to the public, but the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans.

Jamie Brennan, school board chair man, said there’s not much chance the board would decide to leave two schools with hard-wired technology.

“It strongly flies in the face of where we want to go in education,” he said.

“We’re trying to incorporate a technology plan for the entire district.”

The district is consulting with school communities about what they want in a strategic plan.

Brennan said he heard from eight or nine parents on Gabriola Island who are opposed to Wi-Fi, but par-

The medical evidence states the technology is not har mful, Brennan added.

Jeanette Pongratz-Doyle, one of the parents opposed to wireless in schools, asked the board last spring to consider hard-wiring Inter net connections instead of moving forward with the wireless plan, citing studies that found wireless technologies harmful to human health.

“They’ve decided to turn their head away from all the studies on the other side,” she said. “Why are we putting children’s health at risk just to have the latest? Everything can be supplied hard-wired.

“It’s important that parents have choice,” she said.

“I myself am not afraid of Wi-Fi technology. Nobody has shown me any conclusive evidence that it’s harmful. The majority of people I talked to are not convinced.”

But there are some Nanaimo families – she estimates about 10 per cent – convinced that wireless technology causes health problems and are concerned about it going into schools, Hoy said.

Archives checked often

◆ From /1 N a n a i m o ’s a r c h ive s a r e accessed by a number of regular clients, including architects and engineers looking to get a better understanding of the labyrinth of mine shafts under the city, journalists, city planners, municipal employees and students.

Some record groups at the Nanaimo Community Archives previously funded by federal grant money include the Hudson’s Bay Company, Canadian Collieries, Nanaimo Fish and Game Protective Association, and several others. Grants provided for individual record groups are often in the $5,000 to $10,000 range.

Meutzner said the record keeping process is far too technical and time-consuming to ask volunteers or students to do it – knowledge of copyright law and Freedom of Information access is required – and digitizing items within the archive as the federal government has suggested would take “thousands of hours.”

The city provides the archives with almost $57,000 annually, though the archive operates apart from the city as a not-for-

profit organization. Donations from the public make up the balance of the budget, which is about $80,000 annually.

Nanaimo Mayor John Ruttan said the city will continue its support, noting that preserving the city’s history is important for citizens who live here now and in the future.

“To me preserving the archives and the work they do is as important as preserving the Bastion – it’s our written history,” he said.

Ruttan stopped short of suggesting the archives become a city-run operation.

Meutzner said while she will still take in items that meet archival criteria, it is likely those items will have to wait months or years before they are properly archived.

That will inevitably create holes in Nanaimo’s archived history.

“There’s no doubt about it,” she said. “In 100 years this is all we’ll have. The things that people write now will tell us what Nanaimo was all about.”

Funding to the National Archival Development Program was part of the cutbacks in the federal budget earlier this year. reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

Working smoke alarms lacking in many homes

ALMANAC Weather

BY TOM FLETCHER BLACK PRESS

Despite years of public education, almost 70 per cent of houses that caught fire in B.C. in recent years did not have a working smoking alarm.

Many of those were low-income homes, rental units, many on aboriginal reserves and other rural locations, a study of residential fire reports done by the University of the Fraser Valley indicates.

Seniors, disabled people and young children were at greater risk of dying in a house fire.

Justice Minister Shirley Bond and Social Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux revealed new support Monday for the province’s campaign to get a working alarm in every home in B.C. Smoke alarm maker Kidde Canada is donating 5,000 units with a retail value of $75,000 that will be distributed to B.C.’s most vulnerable populations this fall.

And Black Press, whose publications (including the News Bulletin) reach 1.2 million B.C. homes, has pledged a public awareness advertising campaign worth $350,000.

Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis, president of the Fire Chiefs Association of B.C., said the study used data from B.C.’s Office of the Fire Commissioner from 2006 to 2011. The study suggests that 69 lives could be saved each year if homes across Canada had working smoke detectors, he said.

Further details about the campaign will be publicized in Black Press publications during 2012.

VIHA looks to add dementia care beds NEW MODEL created to respond to rising number of patients.

I

BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN

The rising tide of Canadians living with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia is rolling ashore.

Half a million Canadians have Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia and by 2038, the Alzheimer Society of Canada predicts that will swell to 1.2 million.

To meet the specific needs and

demand for dementia care, the Vancouver Island Health Authority created a new model for licensed dementia care beds.

Between 2006 and 2008, VIHA opened 31 dementia-care beds as a pilot project in Victoria and recently put out a call for proposals to create between 40 and 100 beds in Nanaimo.

The city currently has 740 care beds, including complex care and assisted living beds. The new licensed dementia housing beds will be the first of their kind in Nanaimo and are expected to open in 2015.

Norm Peters, director of continuing health services contracts, said

VIHA wants to create more dementia-designated beds on the Island, but it’s dependent on funding.

“For VIHA, it’s really important.

We are committed to improve access for seniors in communitybased facilities,” he said .

Jean Blake, CEO of the Alzheimer Society of B.C., said with the number of people with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias on the rise, preparing is crucial.

“We do know many people try to provide care as long as possible in the home environment, but eventually the care is 24 hours, seven days a week and facilities are needed,” she said, adding it’s

important patients in dementia housing care beds are cared for from a person-centred approach.

Peters said the new dementia care model is a more appropriate model than in complex care, where most patients are currently housed.

T hat’s because dementia patients often aren’t independent enough to go to assisted living and need more security to ensure their safety.

“There is such a huge need for this model of care,” said Janeane Coutu, director of Nanaimo Travellers Lodge, a specialized home for 90 people living with dementia. “We are excited that they

are recognizing the level of care needed.”

The average cost of a residential care bed is $185 a day. Peters said VIHA expects the dementia housing model to cost less, but won’t know until the proposals are examined.

Coutu said staff were excited to see the VIHA request and the lodge hopes to be a successful applicant to build its proposed Eden Gardens residential care facility for people suffering from forms of dementia.

Traveller’s Lodge is currently the only dedicated dementia care facility in the mid-Island. reporter3@nanaimobulletin.com

Island Veterans Affairs jobs eliminated

BY ERIN MCCRACKEN BLACK PRESS

The elimination of frontline staff at the Victoria office of Veterans Affairs Canada this fall will deal a devastating blow to military veterans.

The federal department’s main office on the Island will see its roster of 17 client service agents shrink by 4.37 full-time equivalent positions, as part of a nationwide downsizing plan.

The Victoria agents each work with hundreds of veterans – including those from out of province – applying for disability pensions and mobility aids, among other services.

In the wake of the job cuts, the Royal Canadian Legion in B.C. expects an influx of veterans submitting disability claims.

That will further swamp the legion’s two service officers, one each at CFB Esquimalt and in Vancouver, who are already filing papers for hundreds of vets, who turn to the legion rather than Veterans Affairs.

“The workload has increased tenfold for our two service officers in the last few months, to a point where we’re going to have to hire two more,” said Dave Sinclair, immediate past president of the B.C./Yukon Command of the Royal Canadian Legion.

Job cuts at Veterans Affairs will only compound the challenge, he said.

The number of Afghanistan vets who are now seeking treat-

ment for post-traumatic stress disorder from legion-funded treatment programs, and who are seeking to file claims, is only the tip of the iceberg.

“We’re not going to see the full impact of the Afghanistan veterans for another four or five years,” Sinclair said, adding it takes time for the disorder to manifest itself.

Across Canada, 75 agent positions are being cut. Employees will likely start receiving their surplus notices this fall, said Kim Coles, national executive vice-president of the Union of Veterans Affairs Employees, representing 2,700 members, plus 500 hospital staff.

The union is already reeling from previously announced plans to terminate 552 jobs from the department over the next three years.

In the wake of the federal budget in March, Veterans Affairs now plans to eliminate a total of 804 positions by 2015-16.

“How are they going to maintain the service to veterans with that? I don’t care how much stuff you say can be done on the computer,” Coles said.

“We’re not processing passports here. We’re dealing with people’s lives, people that have sacrificed for their country. That mandate is all going out the window and it’s all becoming a numbers game.”

The government’s plans to create efficiencies will actually ramp up delays, she said.

“My gosh, [some older veterans] could die before they actually get services they put in for in the first place.”

A spokesperson for Veterans Affairs Canada said the restructuring process will not reduce services to veterans. Rather, it will eliminate unnecessary red tape to provide “better and faster” service.

“We will continue to meet or exceed our service standard of one case manager for every 40 case-managed veterans,” the spokesperson said.

The de par tment expects to manage its restructuring through attrition, since approximately 1,000 workers will be eligible for retirement by 2016.

But Coles said only about 50 per cent of those people will be willing or able to retire.

Laws left hanging as legislature adjourns

aviation and first aid certification, to more than $35,000 in pilot scholarships, he owes a lot to the program.

“I’m a better person because of the life skills I’ve learned in cadets,” he said. “The program has also given me the credibility to go on in the next phase of my life.”

Gates reports to school in August for boot camp and then begins classes in September as an officer cadet.

And even though his education is just starting, he has given his future some thought.

“You can’t be a pilot forever, but having the aeronautical background is key,” Gates said. “You know the engines and airframes inside and out if you want to design jets. And having a PhD and becoming a test pilot is the fast track to becoming an astronaut. I don’t think that would be a bad job.”

A dozen bills are being pushed through with minimal debate in the last two days of the B.C. legislature’s spring session, and four more will be left in limbo until the B.C. Liberal government decides whether to proceed with a scheduled fall session.

B.C. Liberal house leader Rich Coleman moved Wednesday to divide up the remaining time left to debate a stack of legislation tabled by government ministers in recent weeks.

Bills receiving less than an hour of additional scrutiny include changes to ferry legislation, new penalty provisions for transit fare evasion, changes to support harsher roadside penalties for suspected impaired drivers, the establishment of a Family Day holiday and the reinstatement of the provincial sales tax (PST).

NDP house leader John Horgan said complicated issues such as sales tax transition for new home sales can’t possibly be understood in the 30 minutes allowed for debate.

The B.C. Liberals have “completely and utterly botched” this legislative session, with 15 bills presented with only eight sitting days left, Horgan said.

Coleman and Finance Minister Kevin Falcon have previously said the late flood of legislation was caused partly by the staff time required to dismantle the harmonized sales tax, set to end next spring.

The legislative logjam prompted the government to open a third chamber in a committee room, holding three simultaneous debates for the first time in B.C. history.

Coleman said the NDP opposition wasted hours of debate time speaking to legislation that they ended up supporting, and opposing the use of a third debate chamber.

“If they hadn’t spent three days talking about the HST when the PST bill was the one they were supposed to be debating, and given us leave to do the third house, all the work would have got done,” Coleman said.

Scholarship to attend Royal Military College in Kingston worth $200,000

Cadet earns prestigious support

BY CHRIS HAMLYN THE NEWS BULLETIN

W

hen it comes to pursuing a career as a Canadian Forces pilot, the sky is the limit for Nanaimo’s Andrew Gates.

The 18-year-old Cedar Community Secondary School Grade 12 student earned a $200,000 scholarship from the Royal Military College Canada in Kingston, Ont., to become an aeronautical engineer and eventually fulfill his dream of flying fighter jets.

That dream began as a sixyear-old with a desire to learn how to fly.

“We’ve always had the plane in the family and around six or seven I started thinking about flying,” Gates said.

Gates joined the 205 Collishaw Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron at 12 and after

a year of hanging around planes, was convinced any career move would involve flying.

He earned his glider’s licence at 16 and knew flying was something he wanted to do all the time.

“When I got my power pilot’s licence last year and was flying longer and faster, I knew right away I wanted to be a pilot in the military,” he said.

Gates always gets a rush when in an aircraft, but being in the pilot’s seat is where he likes it most.

“Being in charge of the aircraft, making the decisions, that’s a whole new level,” he said. “It’s exciting and relaxing at the same time. You know exactly what you have to do, go through your procedures and checks and everything works out.

Unfortunately in civil aviation, when it gets too exciting,

that’s usually when something goes bad.”

Gates hasn’t had any ‘bad’ experiences, learning to fly under the watchful eyes of his father and grandfather.

Having experienced pilots sitting next to him is reassuring and helped develop confidence in his own abilities, should he ever have to deal with an emergency.

He recently went through training on escaping from a submerged aircraft and believes in himself to react properly to any situation.

“You have to try and ignore the panic and realize there are only so many options,” he said. “Then you act to the best of your ability.”

Gates also credits his time in cadets for not only providing the opportunity to earn his wings, but to grow as a person.

EDITORIAL

Vets deserve more support pp It’s troubling that Veterans Affairs Canada is downsizing its department, including the district office in Victoria, due to budget cuts.

Unlike the days when much of its work dealt with the post-Second World War struggles and challenges faced by service personnel, Veterans Affairs today is seeing an influx of people whose experience came in such theatres as Bosnia, Rwanda, Afghanistan and various peacekeeping scenarios.

For those engaged in combat roles, their experiences might be similar to those lived through by their military predecessors.

Yet the understanding today of the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder and other psychological illnesses is greater than the Second World War, when struggling Canadian servicemen were pigeonholed as having “battle exhaustion.”

In true military fashion, Veteran Affairs insists none of its clients will be left behind as a result of the cuts.

The union representing the workers argues that veterans will begin to fall through the cracks due to projected increases in already too-large caseloads for staff and the added time it will take to process client requests.

As in all labour-employer disputes, the truth probably lies somewhere in between. But the telling point in this conversation comes from the Royal Canadian Legion, which has done its best, given limited resources, to fill the void.

They expect the next four or five years to produce more diagnosed cases of post-traumatic stress disorder than ever, a scenario which, if not addressed, could have devastating effects.

The federal government needs to make cuts. But the decision to downsize the front-line operations not only sets a dangerous precedent, it’s a slap in the face to individuals who willingly and bravely served their country.

He’s got all the tools to continue contending at the top, including, according to a new report this week, gargantuan lung capacity of 8.3 litres (compared to large-lung notable Miguel Indurain’s 7.8 litres and the Average Joe rider’s 5.7 litres) and bordering on masochist pain tolerance.

Add those to a commitment to training and teamwork and the recipe for a Canadian draped in yellow is looking better than ever.

My own fascination with cycling goes back to my days in training wheels. I got my first mountain bike in Grade 7, after much cajoling and probably whining to my parents, back in the 1980s as the sport was starting its ascension.

Road cycling was always on the radar, but really nabbed my attention when – who else – Mr. Armstrong took over the sport.

The fascination continues, with several bikes occupying the ‘gear storage’ area of the basement, including even one road bike that once saw semi-regular rides – both serious and commutes – but now is merely admired as a treasured object.

Now, with a Canadian again in the mix of the world’s premier pedallers and capturing widespread, front-page and top-story media coverage, it’s not unreasonable to expect participation in the sport to surge.

With recent reports on idle and obese youth, not to mention Bike to Work Week, there’s no better time. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

Wear-green effort lacks respect To the Editor, Re: People urged to wear green for Canada Day, May 29.

I think it shows shameless audacity to use Canada Day to promote the green movement’s political views and even worse, to desecrate our flag as in the picture for this item.

While I have reservations about the size of the government’s omnibus budget bill, I have none whatsoever about cutting the size of our bloated civil service.

When any government department is faced with

necessary budget cuts, it’s the job of highly paid bureaucrats who run those departments to establish priorities and determine how best to attain them.

And it’s the job of people like Dana Haggarty to present their case to senior staff for adjustments rather than cry to the bill paying public.

Hackneyed claims like “dismantling of environmental protection programs”, “government’s attack on democracy” etc. are too far over the top to take seriously.

The comment that, “This government doesn’t have the mandate to do what they’re doing” is absurd and indicates an ignorance of elected majority governments.

And this country “dismantled bit by bit”? I’m trying to stop laughing.

The Public Service Alliance of Canada’s Bob Jackson tells us that “DFO has been mandated to cut $73 million from its budget”, but omits telling us how much the total budget is, so how de we determine how severe the cut is?

On Canada Day, I won’t show a lack of respect for our flag by defacing it and I’ll wear red and white (possibly Calgary Stampeder garb).

Eco-zealots can make spectacles of themselves in green if they want to. It’s part of democracy.

And I hope Haggarty’s educational leave is at her expense rather than on us taxpayers. It might be nice if it included some teaching on the damage created by government deficits.

Governments ignoring infrastructure needs To the Editor, Re: Mayors united in opposition to downloading, May 26.

I was particularly interested in the story of the inaugural meeting the B.C. Mayors’ Caucus held recently in Penticton where they came out in opposition to downloading costs onto municipal governments along with other issues.

I applaud Mayor John Ruttan’s comments that the provincial government’s response it has no budget to deal with some issues “... is not acceptable.”

This whole area of funding for replacement and upgrading of our national, provincial and municipal infrastructure is one of the biggest challenges we face in Canada.

More than a decade ago the Canadian Federation of Municipalities called for funds in the hundreds of millions of dollars to start on an aggressive program to restore our infrastructure – roads, bridges, water and sewer systems, hospitals, schools and other works.

Federal and provincial governments have paid lip service to do this work, but always cite lack of money.

CBC Radio recently reported the president of FCM calling for action to protect federal programs that do provide some funds for this

work, albeit an inadequate amount.

Without action, our infrastructure system in this country will simply collapse at a huge cost to the economy, jobs and safety for Canadians.

The Globe and Mail in the last few days has had extensive coverage of plans for mega-energy projects that will create environmental difficulties to complete and will generate taxes at both the federal and provincial level.

Every adult Canadian needs to call on their MPs

and MLAs and provincial and federal government to take action and start to allocate tax dollars in this area.

We are over-taxed and under serviced.

Lawless animals left to roam city To the Editor, Re: Dog attack leaves owner worried, May 31.

Not satisfied with contaminating recreational properties with doggy doo, making the locations unfit for human use, the lawless dogs of Nanaimo have started to kill each other.

It would be nice if the lawless doggie gang turned its attention to the lawless garden deer gang that steals produce from our gardens

all year round.

But in the B.C. no-fail society, both these criminal groups are forgiven, endlessly.

I hope the lawless feral rabbit gang (yesterday they were family pets) doesn’t escalate their activities and start to swarm cats and small dogs.

The golf courses will become unbearable with lawless rabbits stealing and savaging golf balls.

Education changes not all improvement To the Editor, I can appreciate the questions of class size that teachers or educators are having; however, in looking back at my school year books, I find that many classes were of up to 30 students. Of course there was discipline to keep everything on an even keel.

Some of our teachers were war vets from both sides of the conflict, but there were no cellphones, no texting or other distractions and there was participation by teachers in after school activities.

So some things have changed, not necessarily for the better.

Provincial policy on vehicle sales tax needs review To the Editor, The provincial government now wants to tax cars given as gifts.

The sales tax on cars is 12 per cent, but it was only designed to be a one-time tax. To this end, a buyer only pays this 12-per cent levy on the net value of the transaction.

For example if you buy a $50,000 car with a $25,000 trade-in, you only pay 12 per cent on the net amount or $3,000.

Then if the next buyer purchases your $25,000 trade-in with a $12,500 trade-in, he pays $1,500 in tax. If this $12,500 trade-in is sold to buyer No. 3 who has a $6,250 trade-in he would pay $750 in tax. Finally this tradein is sold to a buyer with no trade-in so he would pay the final $750 in tax.

The total tax paid would be $6,000, exactly the same amount the original purchaser would have paid if he had bought the $50,000 without a trade-in.

On the other hand, if all the traded-in vehicles were sold privately, they would currently be taxed at the full purchase price, rather than the net price, resulting in a total of $11,250 being collected in sales taxes.

To avoid this double taxation, some people have been giving their cars, to the new owner, rather than selling them. No doubt some of these ‘gifts’ are really under-thetable sales, so the government wants it stopped.

To be fair, we should be asking why are private car sales being subjected to double taxation? If you resell anything else, privately, you don’t collect any sales tax.

You don’t see tax collectors patrolling yard sales or the classifieds demanding sales taxes be paid over and over.

The policy of retaxing vehicles was implemented as a result of pressure from car dealers. They did not want to compete with untaxed private sales.

What this policy really does is give car dealers a 12-per cent advantage and the provincial government a windfall tax haul.

The fair way to handle this issue would be to charge the 12-per cent tax on private car sales and then provide the seller with a credit, for this amount, to be used to help defray the tax payable on his next car purchase.

This would result in taxes paid and collected equal to what would have happened if he had gone the trade-in route. It would also provide a level playing field for dealers and private sellers and no windfall for the government.

Perhaps the government will review this policy and implement rules that are fair for everyone.

Student job search not easy

I

YOUTH JOBLESS rate at 14 per cent, economy still a challenge.

University students may have put away their textbooks for the summer, but they now face another major test – finding a job.

With the national youth unemployment rate hovering above 14 per cent, and with an uncertain economy, it’ll be a challenge for students this summer.

For more than a decade, a central Island firm has provided specialized employment counselling and training services around B.C., helping thousands of people with job search and career placement.

“Students aren’t just competing

with other students,” said Deb Bromley, CEO of Nanaimo’s ETHOS Career Management Group.

“They are up against people who lost their jobs during the recession.”

Summer jobs are more than just a paycheque to cover school expenses. They can also help students figure out if an industry is right for them.

Students lost one important resource earlier this year when the federal government eliminated Canada’s 300 student employment centres due to budget cutbacks.

But Bromley says there are other options.

“The Internet is obviously a critical tool for job search strategy,” she said.

Snoopy’s outer-space doghouse is one of the interactive play elements in the Snoopy Soars with NASA exhibit running now until Sept. 3 at the Nanaimo Museum. For more information, please go to www.nanaimomuseum.ca.

Museum features Snoopy’s roles in space exploration The Nanaimo Museum is travelling back in time to the spring and summer of 1969 to discover the role Snoopy played in space exploration.

The lovable dog, made famous by the Peanuts cartoon strip, is featured in the museum’s To the Moon: Snoopy Soars with NASA exhibition, until Sept. 3.

It showcases Snoopy as he soars with Apollo 10, two months before the moon landing in July 1969.

Through cartoons, photographs and information about manned space exploration, museum visitors will learn about the series of events that put man on the moon.

For young visitors, there are cartoon characters for viewing, a creative play space where they can climb inside Snoopy’s outerspace doghouse and even have their photograph taken in an Apollo 10 astronaut suit.

Every Thursday is the drop-in Rocket Lab program where participants can build a straw rocket, enter a balloon rocket race and leave with a rocket treat.

On Aug. 9, Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen joins the Rocket Lab through a live video chat at 1 p.m.

Visitors can also see the original March 1969 Peanuts strip series of Snoopy’s trip to the moon where he plays an important role as the safety ambassador for NASA. Much of the exhibition celebrates the Silver Snoopy Award including a Silver Snoopy pin that flew to the moon.

The crew of Apollo 10 chose to name their command and lunar modules Charlie Brown and Snoopy, respectively.

Astronauts Thomas Stafford and Eugene Cernan piloted ‘Snoopy’ within 15,240 metres of the lunar surface as they scouted the landing area for Apollo 11.

This exhibit is organized by the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Centre.

Nanaimo Museum is in the Port of Nanaimo Centre, 100 Museum Way. For more information, please go to www.nanaimomuseum.ca or call 250-753-1821.

Rotary gives to kids The Rotary Club of Lantzville made an effort to remember the often forgotten mourners.

The club donated $5,000 to Nanaimo Community Hospice’s Expand the Heart of Hospice new home campaign to provide child and youth programs with muchneeded equipment.

“Children are often the forgotten mourners,” said Wendy Pratt, Hospice executive director. “They grieve very differently from adults and sometimes the manifestations of grief in this age group can be confused with poor behaviour.”

Hospice uses age-appropriate approaches, such as creative play and art therapy to give young people the opportunity to better move through loss in a way that allows them to express their feelings and gather tools for facing future losses.

It also provides a website, www. teensanddeath.com, specifically designed for teens to gather formation on their own in a medium with which they are very familiar.

“With talented, tireless staff and caring, committed volunteers Nanaimo Community Hospice does amazing work in our community,” said Joy Cameron, Rotary Club of Lantzville incoming president.

“When you need them they are there for you and your family.”

In 2011, Hospice provided more than 500 free counselling sessions to 104 children and adolescents dealing with grief, and provided education and support in the schools for another 190 students.

To give to the Expand the Heart of Hospice campaign, please call 250-758-8857 or go to www.nanaimohospice.com.

GRADUATION 2012 T-SHIRT & EMB. CO.

Sr. A squad loses 14-10 at Langley

Kaleb Toth comfortable with any role he’s asked to play with senior A team THE NEWS BULLETIN

T

he Nanaimo Timbermen know they’re a better team with Kaleb Toth in the lineup.

They just need to make sure the veteran forward knows that, too.

Toth said he’s felt a little “snakebit” on the lacrosse floor lately. The 34-year-old played a seriously diminished role with the Calgary Roughnecks of the National Lacrosse League this past season, and he isn’t a primary shooter with the Coastal Windows Timbermen of the Western Lacrosse Association, either. It’s a bit of a shot to the ego.

“I’ve got to overcome that,” Toth said. “A lot of times now I pass instead of shoot and before, when I was younger, I was always shooting, shooting, shooting.”

Toth doesn’t have to be a focal point of the offence anymore. Now he can play off of fellow right-handed stars Scott Ranger and Cory Conway in the T-men attacking zone.

They’ve got “unreal sticks”, Toth said, so he doesn’t mind just trying to set picks for them all game long.

“Ranger’s got that one or two quick steps that he can get around a guy, and same with C-way,” he said. “So if I can give them that breathing room that they need, I’m more than happy to do [that].”

Last Sunday at Frank Crane Arena, Toth scored his 227th career WLA goal. He’s scored another 172 in the NLL, not to mention 103 playoff goals in the two leagues including a Champion’s Cup-winning tally.

When he’s on the floor, he’s a constant threat, said Timbermen coach Art Webster, and he’s a leader on and off the floor.

“He speaks very well, he doesn’t get overly excited, he plugs away,” said the coach. “We’re a different team when he’s in the lineup, there’s no doubt about it.”

So far in 2012, the T-men are 2-0 with Toth in the lineup and 0-2 without him, so they

T-men original changes game

BY GREG SAKAKI

THE NEWS BULLETIN

Nanaimo Coastal Windows Timbermen senior A lacrosse player Kaleb Toth is an important part of T-men offence this season in the Western Lacrosse Association.

obviously want him geared up as often as possible. The Canada Post worker can’t always get to games during the work week, but he has put in for a transfer from Calgary to the midIsland, where he owns property.

“I’m happy to be out here; I’m enjoying playing with these guys,” he

21

said. “We’ve got a real young team, a real athletic team and whenever you have a young, athletic team, you’re going to be good for years to come.”

Toth, one of three original members of the Timbermen franchise, is hopeful he can be a part of any successes.

Because even if his

lacrosse career is winding down, it’s not winding up.

“You’ve got to adjust.

You can still be a factor but roles sometimes change and I’m fine with my role changing,” he said. “I still think that I can offer a little more but we’ll see what happens.” sports@nanaimobulletin.com

The Nanaimo Coastal Windows Timber men played hard, but they need to play smart, too, to win, said the coach.

The city’s senior A lacrosse team (2-2) fell 14-10 to the Langley Thunder on Wednesday on the road.

“The work ethic and everything else was all there, but our intelligence at times, it’s frustrating…” said Art Webster.

“That’s what beat us up again, making bad decisions.”

The coach pointed to a few examples of ill-advised penalties, but the most costly stretch came on a late power play, when they made mistakes that led to two short-handed goals against.

The T-men were also victimized by for mer MVP Lewis Ratcliff, who scored four goals against them in a one-and-a-halfminute span early in the second to turn a 4-1 Nanaimo lead into a 5-4 Langley lead.

Scott Ranger led the Timbermen with four goals and two assists and Cody Bremner had two goals and three assists.

Doug Langlois, Sean Nugent and Kyle Hofer also scored. Zak Boychuk made 41 saves in defeat.

Mid-Isle FC hosting doubleheader The summer soccer season really gets in stride this weekend.

The Mid-Isle FC Highlanders reserve men’s and women’s teams are both in action Sunday (June 3) at Merle Logan Field.

“I’m really excited about the weekend,” said James Merriman, club manager. “The guys are right in the mix; they’re fighting for that playoff spot … and the girls have a chance to move into first place.”

The men are 2-2 in the Pacific Coast Soccer League’s reserve division, while the women are 3-1.

Both are U21 teams but a limited number of over-age players are permitted. It means the program is accessible to a lot of high-level players from the region. Merriman said the men’s practices, for

example, are consistently drawing 30 athletes twice a week.

“Which is an unbelievable turnout,” he said. “It’s healthy competition. Basically every week guys are going to fight for starting positions.”

The women’s team had immediate success in its first season, said Merriman, because it’s a good mix of talent from high-school age up to senior.

“It’s making for a pretty strong team and they’re playing a great style of soccer, as well,” he said.

GAME ON … The men play the Penticton Pinnacles at noon, followed by the women’s game against TSS Academy at 2 p.m.

Admission is free. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

that point. It hadn’t caused anybody any safety issues at that point, but if we had gone another inning, it could have…” said Doug Rogers, Pirates manager. “We were playing amongst the ducks.”

One quack of the bat was especially noteworthy, as Brendan McCarthy hit a tworun home run, his second of the season.

“It was destroyed.

He actually thought he hit a double because it was on such a line,” said Rogers. “He was

standing at second base and the umpire gave him a signal, ‘No, that was a home run.’”

McCarthy finished the game 2-for-2 with three RBIs and Alex Rogers came all the way around to score on a single base hit thanks to two Parksville throwing errors. Crosby Rushton threw two no-hit innings for the win.

T he first-placed premier Pirates (18-4) don’t play again until June 9. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
