Municipalities agree on water sharing deal

I

deMANdS oN Nanaimo’s supply system small.

By ToBy gorMaN THe NewS BULLeTiN

Nanaimo and the District of Lantzville have completed an agreement that could see the city extend its water supply system to include its northern neighbour.

The agreement is the result of a 2005 memorandum of understanding signed between the two municipalities after Lantzville made a formal request to Nanaimo to extend its water supply to the district.

Since then, conditions of the agreement have been worked on but not finalized, though last year negotiations stalled altogether for several months because acceptable terms could not be agreed on, mostly over Nanaimo’s concerns about long-term water supply capacity.

Over the past few months, however, both parties managed to reach an agreement that includes: a 20-year renewable term; Lantzville will pay full costs of connecting to Nanaimo’s water system, plus all related distribution and water-usage costs; Lantzville will pay a connection charge of $5,912.26 for

each residential, commercial or industrial premises; and Lantzville will have water conservation measures in place consistent with those of Nanaimo.

“The current proposal isn’t to supply the entire area of Lantzville, it’s to supply the area known as Upper Lantzville,” said Al Kenning, city manager for Nanaimo. “The actual demands on the city’s systems will be relatively limited in the short term at least. As well, I think it’s quite important that Lantzville has agreed to support Nanaimo’s applications to senior governments for additional water supply, which is important because when communities work together it makes for a stronger application.”

T h e a g re e m e n t s t i l l re q u i re s a p p ro v a l b y Nanaimo city council, which deferred voting on it Monday because Coun. Fred Pattje was not in attendance.

“This is an important issue and I think we want to have all councillors present when we vote,” said Coun. Diana Johnstone. Mayor John Ruttan, a resident of Lantzville, is expected to excuse himself from the debate and vote to avoid a conflict of interest.

The vote is expected to take place at the next scheduled council meeting. u See ‘FINAL’ /4

Nanaimo youth finalist for national award

By JeNN M c garrigle THe NewS BULLeTiN

At age 17, Kennedy Baker has already overcome some life-altering challenges – and moved on to support others.

Two years ago, the Dover Bay Secondary School senior’s life as she knew it fell apart.

Baker was diagnosed at 15 with

lumps in both breasts and underwent surgery to remove them – she later learned the lumps were not cancerous. A week or two after her surgery, Baker was out for a run near her home in the north end of town when a man driving by wearing a Halloween mask shot at her with a gun.

Then she learned that her estranged father had passed

away from alcohol addiction.

At first, she thought she was fine, but as the weeks went by, she started to fear things.

Upset about her father’s death, a man she didn’t know, Baker began to worry about losing her mother and grandparents, people she cared deeply about. Life had suddenly become very fragile. u See ‘AWARD’ /4

expensive for Victoria to pursue the project alone.

Though Nanaimo’s council unanimously supported Victoria’s effort, Ruttan said there has been no discussion on pursuing the idea in the Harbour City.

“Nobody made a motion on it so it just passed as correspondence,” said Ruttan.

“For the most part I would be opposed to it, mainly because in Victoria, especially in areas like Oak Bay, there are some twisty-tiny little streets and 50 km/h is unrealistic. Here, there are a few streets like that but nothing on the scale of Victoria, and I think we’d have to look at the financial impact.”

Ruttan said signage alone would be “a huge cost”, and that a “hodge-podge” of speed limits throughout the city would be confusing for drivers.

Victoria’s motion does not include main arteries or major roads, and if 40 km/h is to become the new default, only roads with different limits would require signage. It would also require a bylaw listing every street affected by the new limit.

“My other concern when it first came up was what would the cost of enforcement be?” said Ruttan. “It’s a different scenario that may well work for Victoria and I respect Mayor Fortin’s initiative but I don’t think there’s an appetite on city council here to see any changes.” reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

Nanaimo Mounties are investigating an incident in which a 35-year-old female jogger was assaulted by a masked man in Westwood Lake Park Sunday.

Police said the incident, which happened at about 5:20 p.m., was initially reported by two other joggers and not by the woman who was allegedly attacked.

The victim has since contacted police and is co-operating with investigators.

The two female joggers told police they were jogging along the flat straight portion of the trail on the back side of Westwood Lake when the victim ran up to them and said she had just been assaulted by a man wearing a black ski mask.

She appeared frightened but did not have any physical injuries.

The attacker had jumped out from some bushes and she defended herself by punching him in the face and kicking him, which stopped the assault and she fled the area.

The male was last seen running up the hill toward the power lines.

The suspect is Caucasian with an average build. He was wearing a black ski mask, dark loose pants and a lightcoloured T-shirt.

Anyone with information about this incident or the suspect is asked to contact the Nanaimo RCMP at 250754-2345 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.nanaimocrimestoppers. com.

There have been several confirmed reports in recent years of female joggers being confronted by unknown males in Westwood Lake Park.

Police are recommending joggers always run with a buddy and carry a cellphone or whistle. If confronted, remove yourself from the situation as quickly as possible and attract attention to yourself by making as much noise as possible.

Award requires online support Final vote needed u From /1 “I started to withdraw, I started to stay home more,” said Baker.

“I started to lose a lot of weight.

Things like writing a test became a really big deal.”

In February 2011, she was admitted to B.C. Children’s Hospital, weighing about 90 pounds on her 5’8” frame, and during her 12-week stay, was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and general anxiety disorder.

Before her hospital stay, Baker was well-liked and popular at school, but after, she found herself friendless and the target of bullies.

To cope, she kept herself busy, joining student council and becoming co-president of her school’s Me to We club, through which she helped raise $11,000 to build a school in India.

Baker’s latest accomplish-

ment is being selected as one of three finalists for a national Me to We award in the community category. The Me to We Awards, sponsored by Canadian Living and AOL/Huffington Post Impact Canada, shine the spotlight on Canadians making a difference in communities and abroad.

If Baker wins, she receives $5,000 to donate to the charity of her choice – the 7-10 Club, where she continues to volunteer two or three times a week.

Baker said the money would go a long way towards helping to feed people who use the club’s services.

But to win, she needs community support, as the winner is determined through online votes at www.huffingtonpost. ca/p/metowe.html. Voting ends Saturday (June 1). reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

u From /1 Kenning added that, if council passes the agreement, an initial connection fee of about $1.3 million that Lantzville will pay to Nanaimo will go directly toward current water projects, such as the new water treatment facility, as will user rates, which will be the same as Nanaimo residents, and future connection fees.

Lantzville currently has a community water supply system made of up district-owned wells that services 225 properties in the community.

The rest of the community, about 210 properties, relies on private wells.

The district’s wells are already running at capacity, said Twyla Graff, Lantzville’s chief administrative officer, and can’t service as many residents as it would like. Running at capacity also limits new development. Under the agreement, connections to new development will be limited to 50 per year.

“We are running at capacity, especially during the summer months, and have not authorized any new connections to our own community water system for a number of years,” said Graff.

The estimated annual consumption Lantzville is expected to put on the supply is equivalent to a little more than a day’s worth being consumed by Nanaimo residents. Other terms of the agreement ensure water will not be used for major agriculture production or golf courses; Lantzville cannot sell or permit the sale of bulk water or bottled water outside the municipality; and Lantzville will keep its existing wells operating at current levels. reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

Meeting set to discuss strategies to stop closure of North Oyster

I

parENtS gathEr tonight (May 30) for information event.

By Jenn McGarriGle The News BulleTiN

A group of parents concerned about the proposed closure of North Oyster Elementary School are holding a community meeting today (May 30) to discuss strategies to save the school.

“We just want to band together, get ever yone involved,” said Rene Qualizza, a North Oyster parent whose son starts kindergarten next fall. “Basically, the community will go down because no one will be interested in moving here and businesses will suffer. Kids won’t have any sense of identity.”

The district’s proposed 10-year facilities plan calls for closing 10 schools, including all four elementary schools in the Cedar area, and moving the elementary students into what

is currently Cedar Secondary School, with those students being sent to John Barsby Secondary School. The most immediate actions in the plan include closing North Oyster and South Wellington elementary schools in June.

Qualizza said after the plan became public in April, about a dozen North Oysterarea parents began organizing. The group has created a Facebook group called North Oyster Elementary School – Save Our Rural Schools, created a petition and staged a protest outside the Port Theatre May 15 during the district-wide in-service day.

Qualizza said parents are worried that the most immediate actions of the plan – closing the two elementary schools – will go forward, but then the plan will stall out.

“The main concern right now is if the plan goes through, all our kids will be crammed into neighbouring schools and then it will just stop there,” she said, adding the previous facilities plan was scrapped following

a couple of school closures after a new school board was elected.

Qualizza said the 60-day public consultation process is not long enough for parents to organize and come up with viable alternatives to closure.

“We’re pushing for [trustees] to give us one more year,” said Qualizza. “What are parents to do? They didn’t give us enough time to get together and work on some ideas.”

Wendy Wise, co-chairwoman of the North Oyster parent advisory council, said parents have so far come up with one alternative suggestion for trustees – to close South Wellington elementary and North Cedar Intermediate and keep North Oyster and Woodbank Primary open as K-7 schools – and they are seeking feedback and other suggestions at the community meeting.

The meeting happens at the North Oyster Community Hall, 13467 Cedar Rd., starting at 6:30 p.m.

Nanaimo News Bulletin 5

Key policies for Nanaimo passed

The Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce had two key policies passed at the B.C. Chamber of Commerce’s annual general meeting, with both having implications for business in this province and across Canada.

Nanaimo hosted the AGM May 23-25.

The first policy, written by Wally Wells, past chairman of the Nanaimo chamber, considered how infrastructure funding will play a critical role as much of the country’s infrastructure is nearing its lifespan.

Wells’s report focused on how provincial and federal governments need to ensure funding is in place for future infrastructure improvements.

The second policy was based on succession planning for businesses. According to B.C. Chamber of Commerce statistics, 66 per cent of small and medium business owners are planing to retire in the next 10 years, yet only about

10 per cent have a succession plan in place. The Nanaimo chamber recommended that government expands its existing finance programs so that business owners can access funds for succession planning, and offer succession planning tax credits.

Susan Allen, CEO of the Nanaimo chamber, said passing the policies is a positive step but there is still a lot of work to do, especially with respect to succession planning, which will require the establishment of educational and awareness campaigns, training templates and a program to match students, immigrants, unemployed and local prospects to business owners who want to retire.

Chamber of commerce representatives from across the province took part in the AGM, working in several breakout groups to introduce and improve new policies that affect business and communities.

Annual ball drop supports Rotary

Look up. Look way up and you might see money – well, golf balls – tumbling from the sky.

The Rotary Club of Lantzville is spooling up its rotors for its third annual Helicopter Golf Ball Drop.

The event happens at Fairwinds Golf Course in Nanoose June 7.

Fifteen hundred raffle tickets are available at $20 each. Every of those raffle tickets will have its number marked on one of 1,500 golf balls that will be dropped from a chopper from B.C. Mountain Helicopters. The balls that land closest to a flag marker win prizes.

Why is the event limited to 1,500 balls?

“Well, there has to be some sort of competition in the competition, but not too much,” said Alyson Winks,

event spokeswoman. “Truth be told, that’s the number the helicopter can handle.”

Jenny Janecek, pilot and B.C. Mountain Helicopters owner, concocted the idea for the ball drop fundraiser with Robert Grose, one of the event’s chief organizers, and has been donating her time and piloting skills ever since.

“She’s been wonderful in donating her time and fuel and helping us out with it – and the helicopter ride (prize) as well,” Winks said.

“She’s been wonderfully supportive of us and just a dream to work with.”

Cash raised from the event helps Lantzville Rotary support more than 20 community organizations and programs, such as Nanaimo Child Development Centre, PacificSport and construction of the Seaview Memorial Playground.

The drop happens at Hole No. 1 right after Lantzville Rotary’s 16th annual charity golf tournament – Rotary Golf to End Cancer – also being hosted at Fairwinds that day.

The five balls that land closest to the flagstick marker win one of five prizes which include $2,500 cash, a $1,500 Quality Foods gift voucher, a $1,000 Canadian Tire gift certificate, a 20-game golf pass for Fairwinds Golf Course and a one-hour flight for three over Vancouver Island with B.C. Mountain Helicopters.

Each ticket also includes a pack of $5 discount coupons for Ricky’s, Boston Pizza, Pipers Pub, Fairwinds Golf Club restaurant and the Village Pub in Lantzville.

The contest is open to everyone and ticket holders do not have to be present to win.

Tickets are available from Lantzville Rotary Club members or from sales booths on weekends at Canadian Tire and Quality Foods Nanaimo stores and Red Gap Centre in Nanoose.

People can also buy tickets and get more information about the Helicopter Golf Ball drop by calling Rotary Club of Lantzville at 250-818-1893. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Ross brings personal experience to role as foundation president

I

RougH StaRt does not always mean rough life for kids.

By Jenn McGarriGle The News BulleTiN

JENN McGARRIGLE/ThE NEws BuLLETIN

Patrick Ross, president of the Nanaimo-Ladysmith Schools Foundation, believes strongly in the work the foundation does to support local students. He is surrounded by a small collection of some of the supplies at foundation headquarters waiting to be distributed to vulnerable students across the district.

Patrick Ross knows the value of a hand up.

The 65-year-old, who took over the reins as president of the Nanaimo-Ladysmith Schools Foundation in February, grew up in Vancouver in a single-parent household and money wasn’t abundant – Ross, his two brothers and mother were on social assistance.

“We were the family who got the Christmas hampers,” he said.

When Ross was young, he was making some poor decisions and getting into trouble.

But then a local service club sent him to an outdoor wilderness camp in Howe Sound, where he met some role models and discovered, as he returned to work at the camp in following years, a passion for helping others that led to his teaching career. Ross believes the community support changed the direction of his life and said the support provided by the foundation could do the same for others.

“If you can give kids that support at that critical time, it has the potential to make a huge difference,” he said. “It doesn’t have to be predeter-

mined that if you have a rough start, you have a rough life.”

Despite his rough start, Ross went on to get his teaching degree from the University of B.C. and taught in Kelowna before becoming one of Nanaimo school district’s first elementary school counsellors in the late 1970s and then a special education teacher.

He finished up his career in the district in the early 1990s as assistant superintendent of student support services and also worked for Vancouver Island University (then Malaspina University-College) first as dean of student services and then as vice-president.

He retired in 2008 and two years ago, joined the Nanaimo-Ladysmith Schools Foundation board because he thought he could be of use given his educational background and his personal experience.

Last year, the foundation distributed almost $500,000 to students in the district.

The foundation gives money to every school in the district to dole out as situations arise such as helping low-income families purchase new running shoes or glasses, said Ross. The fund also covers seven breakfast programs and a number of snack programs across the district.

“There’s always going to be a certain segment of our society who, through very legitimate circumstances, need the extra support,” said Ross, adding

that the foundation helps save society money in the long run.

If a student continues to do poorly, they can end up costing the system money through legal problems, health problems and other issues and so the prevention work the foundation does is simply “smart work,” he said.

New initiatives to help raise more money include a 50/50 payroll contribution draw for district employees and a new grant program that would give money to schools for projects focusing on social responsibility, community development and student leadership.

He sees the foundation as one important pillar in an integrated support network involving the district, social services, the police and other partners and while it would be ideal if the foundation were no longer needed one day, he doesn’t believe that day is going to come any time soon – at least not in the next two years when he is at the helm.

“There’s always going to be folks needing help and there’s always going to be folks willing to give it,” said Ross.

Jamie Brennan, school board chairman, said since the foundation formed in 2008 with an expanded mandate – the previous organization focused solely on scholarships and bursaries – it has sent thousands of dollars into schools to support vulnerable children. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Wellington students raising money to build amphitheatre on school grounds A group of graduating students at Wellington Secondary School hope to leave behind a legacy at the school with a unique fundraising idea.

Teacher John Mandziuk’s entrepreneurship 12 class is organizing a show and shine car show on school grounds Saturday (June 1).

“We took it on as a whole class,” said Charlee Clara, event manager. “It’s our business venture. No other school has done

GOURMET GRILLS

anything like this.”

The goal is to raise enough money to construct an amphitheatre on school grounds – an outdoor covered stage with seating around it – that could be used by the school’s band or drama students or anyone else who wants to use it.

“We’re hoping because it’s outside, the community could use it, too,” said Clara. “It would probably be built off of our band room.”

The class also wants to devote 20 per cent of the event’s proceeds to Cops for Cancer, so they hope to raise more than the $5,000 students estimate the amphitheatre will cost to build.

“We already have well over $1,000 cash raised just from our sponsors,” said Clara.

From the number of people who have expressed an interest, she expects between 200 and 300 cars at show, which

includes vintage cars and motorcycles from car clubs across the Island and dealership and sponsor booths.

The cars will be displayed in the back parking lot, and along the perimeter of the playing field, the front lawn and the side lawn.

“It’s going to be full,” said Clara. “It’s gotten quite large.”

The entrance fee is $10 for show cars and admission for the public is by donation.

Clara said the students have collected a number of prizes from sponsors, some of which may become part of a silent auction and some of which may be given away to event attendees.

The event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., will also feature awards and a barbecue.

Clara said the class is looking for more sponsors and food donations. Please contact Mandziuk at 250-758-9191.

Address root of speed issue The City of Victoria is taking a motion to the Union of British Columbia Municipalities convention in September to reduce the speed limit on municipal roads in the province from 50 km/h to 40 km/h.

It’s a good start to an issue that needs to be addressed, but it sidesteps the root of the problem, which is people simply drive too fast regardless of posted limits.

Creating a new law that is unenforceable will do little to clamp down on the increasing number of leadfoots out there.

The only way to slow drivers down on residential streets – main arteries, highways and collectors are not part of the proposal – is to get police traffic services into neighbourhoods with radar guns ticketing speeders.

Today’s roads are built to accommodate much higher speeds than posted limits, so people are bound to drive faster.

Cars, with their airbags, anti-lock brake systems, four-wheel-drive and multitudes of other safety factors designed to protect occupants, give drivers the feeling of invincibility, though in reality those features are still designed with reasonable speeds in mind.

And even cars considered to be economy class are loaded with enough horsepower to comfortably travel well beyond maximum speed limits.

It’s unlikley lowering speed limits will do much to thwart chronic speeders. Besides, 50 km/h is a perfectly reasonable speed to travel throughout Nanaimo’s residential streets.

At 50 km/h, an attentive driver should be able to adequately brake and avoid most surprise situations.

Instead of paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to change a bylaw, implement new signage and embark on an education campaign, it makes sense to address the problem at its root and enforce the perfectly good speed limits already in place.

Larson then mocks these goals, as follows: “Essentially, the Ministry of Education has a vision of citizens who will maintain the status quo, not rock the boat, and participate on a superficial level in aspects of political and societal change. It doesn’t challenge individuals to take direct action against exploitation, marginalization and violence.”

In case you missed the political message, Larson later asserts: “The educated citizens we graduate from our schools cannot just be content to wear a pink shirt once a year… educated, engaged citizens must be willing to take direct action to change and shape our society for the better.”

What is this ghastly “status quo” that must be challenged by “direct action”?

In these campus-radical screeds, the final answer is generally the same: capitalism. This call to arms is a blend of the NDP election platform and a rant from the Occupy Vancouver squat of a couple of years ago.

Laws prevent stopping bullies Harper government To the Editor,

Re: District wastes tax dollars while abandoning children facing constant bullying, Letters, May 25.

It was with compassion and sympathy that I read the moving letter

by Cathy Coulson, regarding her daughter’s ongoing victimization at the hands of bullies.

Hers is a cry that we have often heard in recent years. Bullying is an issue that will not go away, but unfortunately, it is also an issue against which little or no progress is apparently being made.

I spent 34 years teaching in public schools, at the secondary level, in B.C.’s school system. In all those years, I cannot think of a single bullying incident that was effectively or successfully dealt with.

Bullying was a subject that would occasionally come up at staff meetings and on Professional Development Days – experts expounded, psychologists theorized, school counsellors pontificated, and

“zero-tolerance policies” were given enthusiastic assent – but nothing ever happened to effectively deal with the bullies.

The reason is simple: the laws that currently exist do not give school boards and administrators any ‘teeth’ with which to effectively clamp down on the perpetrators.

Every school administrator will tell you that his or her school district has a strict anti-bullying policy. What they won’t tell you is that the policy lacks any real clout for doing anything effective or immediate to alleviate the torment of the victim, or deal severely with the bullies themselves.

I can remember a couple of incidents in which the parents of the victim were advised to keep their child at home to avoid an escalation in the bullying behaviour of those responsible for the torment.

The Pink Shirt Days and other similar public relations events only

serve to give lip service – more of a recognition that the problem exists, rather than a statement that victims are being supported and protected by the system.

District- and school-based administrators always seem phenomenally reluctant to impose harsh penalties on the perpetrators.

Lengthy suspensions are rare, and expulsions are totally out of the realm of possibility.

If public pressure needs to be put anywhere, it needs to be brought to bear on the provincial government to make effective legal changes to the Public Schools Act, and on the federal government to make appropriate changes to the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Until the laws change, I’m afraid that situations like the one described by Coulson will continue to be a concern for everyone.

Decision of five deprives next generations To the Editor,

Re: Council approves demolition of dams, May 16.

Because of five city councillors my grandchildren will not be embraced by the cool, moist air which once wrapped me.

Because of five, they will not see the mystical views of the clouds settling over the lakes and throughout the forest. The moonlit water shimmering as it ripples from the paddling ducks and the fish splashing to reach for their supper.

Because of five, they will not touch or see the soft moss which wraps the bark of the tree whose roots are sculpted into art.

Because of five, they will not have the thrill their parents had with seeing the owl flying, or the otter and beaver being right by your side. Nor will they hear their echoing giggles when the water tickles their toes as they reach for a stone to skip.

Because of five, they will not have this sanctuary, a place to rest their worries, a nature’s masterpiece to cherish for their children.

Please forgive but never forget.

It was not a disease, a fire, a wind or an earth-

quake which destroyed the life that thrived because of the Colliery dams.

It was the choice of five humans.

Colliery Dam Park will be reborn safer To the Editor,

Re: City councils obsessed with projects, Letters, May 23.

Why is that whenever city council makes a decision that is not what some people want, they deride the council and go back in history to claim other wrongs?

Maffeo Sutton Park is a well-used one that replaced a decrepit Civic Arena and shipyards that had fallen into disuse.

A city’s uniqueness is not just in keeping everything that has ever been, but in adapting to the needs of the present and future.

Colliery Dam Park will be reborn in a new, safer way.

District’s spending continually puzzling To the Editor,

Re: Energy upgrade paying off for school district,

May 25; District wastes tax dollars while abandoning children facing constant bullying, Letters, May 25.

Any time events concerning children and their welfare are printed in your newspaper, I am an interested reader.

The above mentioned article and letter have some connection.

In regards to energy, it was a commendable report by the Nanaimo school district on the upgrades for our schools, but the $39,000 for a new electric car to me is questionable.

As for the letter from a mother on behalf of her 11-year-old daughter, the link is the priority the district has for the spending the tax dollars it receives. I would like someone to explain to me how more than $50,000 is spent on two items – the new logo and an electric car.

I fail to see how these two expenditures are vital or necessary in the education of our children. The logo was frivolous spending. And an electric car? Who and what is this for?

That $50,000 could go a long way in buying sports

equipment or musical instruments when all other educational needs such as anti-bullying services are met.

Make casting a vote mandatory in Canada To the Editor,

Re: Voter turnout dismal again, Opinion, May 25.

This was my second time involved with the provincial election and I agree about the dismal response of people who did not vote.

We live in a great province in a great country, and it’s a shame people don’t use their given rights to vote.

As for the statement “no wonder why so many British Columbians feel like they don’t have a voice,” it could be that some people don’t make the effort and don’t care.

It’s only when it affects them personally that they care.

In some countries, like Australia, federal and provincial voting is compulsory. I wonder what non-voters here would say if slapped with a fine?

Wally Lawrence Nanaimo

ignores democracy To the Editor,

It is ironic to witness contrived right-wing outrage in the U.S. over the so-called targeting of Tea Party groups for IRS tax audits, implying president Barack Obama’s government attempts to silence dissent.

Ironic because in Canada, Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government is already implementing a real witch hunt with barely a squeak from libertyloving conservatives.

U.S. Tea Party groups were being audited for their claims for tax exempt status as “social welfare” groups not allowed to spend more than 50 per cent of their time and effort on political activities.

This seems a laughable claim, worthy of examination given what we know about the Tea Party. In contrast, Canadian groups were threatened by provisions in the 2012 budget with the loss of charitable status if their political activities were judged to exceed 50 per cent of their activity.

‘Political’ seems to be defined as ‘contrary

to government policy’, rather than in the usual way it is understood.

The Fraser Institute, as political as its comes, has not been recommended for audit. In June 2012, Harper said, “if we’re spending on organizations that are doing things contrary to government policy I think it is an inappropriate use of taxpayer’s money and we’ll look to eliminate it.”

The 2012 budget allocated $8 million over two years to fund the Canadian Revenue Agency’s investigation of charities that the Harper government judged to be too political, especially environmental charities – those who espoused the causes of Palestine, women, the poor and other marginalized groups as well as unions.

If such interference by the executive is considered to be offensive to democracy in the U.S., why wouldn’t it be similarly condemned here in Canada?

Or do we no longer have a democracy?

That must be it.

Liz Fox Lantzvillle

Senate must be abolished To the Editor,

Abolish that gross insult to our democracy, the Senate.

Federal and provincial governments all claim they will “reduce the size and cost of unnecessary government.”

They all admit that Canada is over-governed.

A memo to the prime minister and premiers: Do what your principles claim and abolish the Senate.

The Senate is an embarrassment to the very concept of democracy. It is a disgrace that Canada maintains an appointed legislative body when most of the world finally agrees an assembly elected by

the people is the proper way to govern.

Our Senate is nothing more than a haven for political hacks chomping at the taxpayer funded trough. Enough – end this disgrace now.

No real friend of democracy (federal or provincial) would stop a constitutional amendment abolishing the Senate. Get on with it and save more than 80 million wasted dollars a year and Canada’s dignity.

In the interim, just fund it $1 per year. Let’s see if any Senator stays on the job as a volunteer.

B.C. gas plan nothing more than short-sighted pipe dream B.C. appears to be sale policies of the pinning its economic Alberta and federal hopes on natural gas governments, B.C.’s – much of leaders it obtained want to get SCIENCE by frackfossil fuels MATTERS ing. While out of the David Suzuki the world ground, with Ian Hannington should be piped to turning the coast, from fosliquesil fuels fied and to cleaner shipped energy and to Asia or conservawherever tion, we’re they can poised to find buydig ourselves deeper ers, as quickly as into the climate-alter- possible. It’s a shorting carbon hole. sighted plan based Taking a cue from on outmoded thinkthe liquidationing. In the long run,

it’s not good for the economy or the environment.

Whether politicians believe fossil fuel supplies are endless or can only see as far as the next election, they’re selling out our future and leaving a shattered legacy for our kids and grandkids. To start, natural gas is not the clean-energy solution it’s touted to be. According to the Pembina Institute, if only five of 12 proposed liquefied natural gas terminals were built on

the B.C. coast, they could spew 63-million tonnes of carbon a year into the atmosphere – exceeding the amount now produced by the Alberta tar sands and equal to all of B.C.’s greenhouse gas emissions in 2010. Discharges of particulate matter and volatile organic compounds would also be significant new sources of pollution.

Liquefying the gas for export, which requires enormous amounts of energy, isn’t the only source

of greenhouse gases.

Leaks – or what the industry refers to as “fugitive emissions” – during drilling, extraction and transport are also concerns. Although the B.C. Environment Ministry claims just 0.3 to 0.4 per cent of gas escapes into the atmosphere, independent studies say it’s likely many times that amount.

According to an article in Nature, scientists from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and

the University of Colorado in Boulder found leaks of methane – a greenhouse gas 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide – amounted to between four and nine per cent of total production at two gas fields in the U.S. Even the economic benefits of the province’s LNG plans are suspect. Many analysts expect price corrections, and U.K. LNG expert Peter Hughes told the CBC the perceived windfall is “wishful thinking” because B.C. will have to compete with producers in places like Qatar, East Africa and Australia. Most of the money wouldn’t even stay in B.C., as many gas companies are from other provinces and countries. As for jobs, natural gas extraction, transport and production create relatively few compared to almost every other economic sector – including tourism, science and technology, health care, education and small business.

On top of that, hydraulic fracturing or fracking – shooting water, sand and chemicals at high pressure into the ground to shatter shale and release natural gas – has many other environmental consequences. It requires massive amounts of water, contaminates drinking water, damages habitat and ecosys-

tems – even causes small earthquakes.

As well as seeing natural gas as an economic panacea, some argue it could be a “bridging fuel” – something cleaner than oil or coal to use while we make the transition to renewable energy.

But it’s a hazardstrewn bridge, and subsidizing and investing in natural gas extraction and infrastructure without any real commitment to wean us off oil, coal and gas will only keep us on the fossil fuel road and discourage investment in clean energy and conservation.

The industry also relies on taxpayers’ money to subsidize it, through tax and royalty credits, and to provide water, roads and the massive amounts of energy required to liquefy the gas, perhaps from a new Site C dam on the Peace River.

And fugitive emissions from gas operations are exempt from the carbon tax. If we are really “bridging” to reduce fossil fuels, why are we subsidizing companies for their carbon costs?

It’s time to invest in long-term, innovative ideas that will create good, lasting jobs.

We have abundant renewable resources and opportunities to conserve energy and lead the way in developing clean energy. www.davidsuzuki.org

Residents learn to fight back Empowering citizens to become responsibly more involved in what’s happening in their cities, province and country is the focus of a civil disobedience workshop.

The Mid-Island chapter of Council of Canadians is hosting a repeat of its Direct Action – Civil Disobedience workshop Saturday (June 1) from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Church of the Nazarene, 2150 Departure Bay Rd., in Nanaimo.

Jordan Ellis, chapter spokesman, said many people are becoming critically concerned and disenchanted about things that are happening in their country, province, towns and cities.

“They feel disenfranchised by the decision makers about their concerns,” he said. “In Nanaimo,

the Colliery dams issue and Linley Valley development are present good examples. Some say our fundamental democracy is being stifled and threatened. They are asking, ‘but what can we do?’”

Ellis said appropriate direct action to demonstrate desires is one legitimate way, and the workshop is community building at its core.

Participants learn about their civil rights and responsibilities, about making choices from a myriad of possible actions and about strategies to implement those plans successfully.

More information about the workshop and Council of Canadians can be found at www.midislandcanadians.org.

Atkinson gets inside the sound Inbrief songs as well as some new pieces he’s been working on. The musician is planning to release a stripped down acoustic and a full band hard-rock album sometime this year.

Atkinson said he’s looking forward to the performance.

“You can really get inside the sound of it in a different way than in a band,” said Atkinson.

He loves being able to perform for fans.

“It’s the audience that makes the difference,” he said. “If people are having fun we feel different … you get that feedback loop. It can make an amazing experience.”

Atkinson said the drive to write music is with him all the time. Over his lifetime, Atkinson said he’s learned thousands of songs and these influence his ability to create music. He can just be in his house and then all of a sudden an idea hits him.

Atkinson said sometimes he even picks up is guitar and absentmindedly starts playing a few notes and before he knows it a song begins to form.

“It’s just a passion and if you don’t tend to it it will drive you nuts, said Atkinson about creating music and writing songs. “Everyone approaches it differently … sometimes things just pop out by accident and it sounds cool and you pursue it.”

Tickets to the show are $20, which includes a return ferry ride, and are available from the artists or at www.ticketzone.com.

It also features a prize giveaway contest of a one-week accommodation holiday package for two to Hawaii and Oahu, which includes two for one airfare.

H

ard rock bands in the 1980s made Murray Atkinson teach himself how to play guitar.

He remembers looking at an album by KISS when he was five years old and being motivated to learn the instrument.

“You open the album cover and see these four guys elevated on platform shoes and there are explosions and fireballs behind them,” he said.

He said it made him ask himself ‘what is this?’” and he answered ‘This is awesome. I’ve got to do this.’

Atkinson grew up in Ladysmith and his parents enrolled him in piano lessons when he was a child. The older he grew the more he wanted to quit piano lessons, but his parents insisted he continue. Now as an adult, Atkinson said he is glad of his parent’s perseverance to have him continue his lessons.

“The piano is really great for understanding music itself no matter what instrument you play,” he said, adding the piano knowledge allowed him to teach himself to play the guitar. “It set a strong foundation for what I was able to do later.”

The singer/songwriter started writing his own music when he was 11 years old. When he was 14 his parents bought him a four-track recorder.

Atkinson said he was lucky to be born into a musical family and that his parents recognized his passion early on.

When he attended college he averaged about six hours a day practising guitar and playing music.

Blues festival seeks sponsors The Nanaimo Blues Society is seeking sponsors to support its Summertime Blues Festival in August.

There are seven different sponsorship categories for businesses to choose from.

Gerold Haukenfrers, the society’s president, said the board hopes to make the festival a successful event and is looking for support.

The group is bringing back the three-day festival format after cutting it back last year due to funding issues.

It estimates that more than 3,000 people attend the festival. The event has run in the Harbour City for the past nine years.

The group is hoping to have sponsors confirmed by the end of June. In July sponsors will receive their packages confirming support and outlining the benefits.

This year’s festival includes performances by David Gogo, the Mud Dog Band, Jayden Holman, The Distributors, Rita Chiarelli and more. The society has also expanded the festivities beyond the Maffeo Sutton Park location. There will be performances at the Queen’s, Lighthouse Pub and the Port Theatre this year.

For more information about sponsoring the festival please call 250-739-2333, e-mail info@nanaimoblues. com or go to www. nanaimobluesfestival. com.

By Rachel SteRn the news bulletin

Many photographs depicting Nanaimo’s rich history are never seen by the public.

They’re stored in private collections or family attics. The photos are also susceptible to damage and because there is usually only one they can be lost forever.

Nanaimo resident Matt James is passionate about restoring old photographs.

He finds many on eBay, works with archive organizations or museum,

and convinces some private collectors to allow him to scan the images so he can restore them to their former glory.

Some private collectors will allow James to view the images but not scan them.

“I tr y to collect photographs, but it’s very difficult because nobody wants to part with them,” he said.

“They like to hang on to them.”

James said he repairs the images with Adobe Photoshop. He taught himself through trial and error how to remove

It used to take him more than 20 hours to restore a photo but now it can take him about three hours.

He restores the pictures regardless of what they depict. He likes to see how people react to them and what people’s favourites are.

His photographs resonate with seniors who have lived in Nanaimo for decades, said James.

“You see the elderly people walk up to the picture and they remember it,” he said.

During a past exhibit James remembers a man in his 90s who was a shut-in. It was one of the only times the man had ventured out of his house.

James said for the elderly gentleman it was like walking along memory lane. He went

Duo hosts an evening of baroque

BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN

At 14 years old, Ioana Gandrabur became the youngest person to win the Romanian National Guitar Competition.

She had only learned to play the guitar two years earlier.

She was drawn to music because it is

a language everyone can relate to. “ Yo u c a n b e immersed in a language that isn’t words,” she said. “I can tell the story and every one can do their own story.”

The musician now lives in Montreal and is coming to Nanaimo to perform with her friend Elizabeth Herman.

The two have never performed together before. Herman has done about 20 years of choral singing.

The duo will perform baroque to 20th century music, including works by Dowland, Bach, Guiliani and Barrios.

They chose songs that would complement both Gandrabur’s guitar skills and

Herman’s soprano singing.

During the concert the two will perform solos and duets.

“It’s an intimate evening and will be a warm atmosphere,” said Gandrabur.

The concert is Sunday (June 2) at 7 p.m. at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, located at 100 Chapel St. Tickets are $15 at the door.

For more information about Gandrabur please go to www. ioanagandrabur.com. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

New team captain steers Timbermen Nanaimo’s Graham Palmer takes on new role with city’s Western Lacrosse Association club

BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

G

raham Palmer’s first game with the ‘C’ on his jersey couldn’t have been scripted much better.

Playing their season opener on the road, the Nanaimo Timbermen trailed the Burnaby Lakers until they managed to tie things up late in the third. Then, with one minute to go, the new T-men captain ran a pick and roll, got open, and scored the dramatic game winner.

“I haven’t had too many of those,” he said.

Palmer’s five-plus seasons in Nanaimo have been typified by gutsy play, but usually on the back end or in transition. To start this year, he’s being asked to run out the front gate and score some of those big goals that the team needs.

“It’s definitely a challenge because it’s a role I haven’t played for quite awhile,” he said. “It’s always fun to get a goal here and there.”

The new Timbermen captain isn’t going to score 50-plus goals, like the previous team captain. But Palmer does have 66 over his career, including 14 one season with the Coquitlam Adanacs.

He came to the Timbermen in 2008 in a trade with the Maple Ridge Burrards.

The Nanaimo minor lacrosse product had requested the homecoming and the Timbermen had shown mutual interest. Palmer has hardly missed a game since and his most recent action at Frank

Crane Arena was his 150th career WLA game.

“Graham’s a great choice for captain because he can pretty much do everything we ask him to do and he’s willing to do everything we ask him to do,” said Kaleb Toth, T-men coach.

Palmer can play offence, defence, transition, special teams, and he can go out and agitate the opposition.

“He might end up at the back gate but right now I like what I’m seeing with him on the offence,” Toth said.

“He calms everyone down – we’ve got a lot of young guys out there.”

The 30-year-old Palmer is the oldest player on the team by a few years and with his lacrosse experience, he can explain not only the hows, but the whys, said the coach.

And so far Palmer is embracing that part of the captaincy.

“Already I’ve seen huge improvements with the guys and it’s neat to see…” he said. “It’s nice to be able to push some of these young guys in the right direction and help them out as much as you can.” sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Saturday’s games against the Blaze (24-4) will be followed by a doubleheader Sunday against the Abbotsford Cardinals (11-7).

The Pirates hosted the Parksville Royals on Wednesday after press time.

“We hope to be able to handle them, and then we have the big weekend coming up,” said Doug Rogers, Pirates manager. “Two top teams so it will be a good test.”

GAME ON … The games against the Blaze are scheduled for 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m., while the start times against the Cards are 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. … Look for more on the Pirates at www. nanaimobulletin.com/ sports … Admission at Pirates games is $5 per game, or $8 for a doubleheader. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

VIU gym gets seating upgrade ISLAND EXPRESS BUS

I

The Best Scheduled Bus Service on Vancouver Island

PORT HARDY & NORTH ISLAND CAMPBELL RIVER - NANAIMO - VICTORIA

The News BulleTiN

Now the VIU Mariners will be able to create even more of a big-match atmosphere at their biggest matches.

Vancouver Island University’s gym is getting a significant upgrade this week as it is replacing all its bleachers. Once the project is complete, the seating capacity in the gym will be more than doubled to 1,600.

“The existing bleachers were ancient, uncomfortable and basically worn out, and also we didn’t have the capacity here,” said Bruce Hunter, athletic director. “When we did host a major event like a nationals, we had to go and find other bleachers and rent them and bring them in and it

was a major pain.”

VIU was able to get a bargain price on the bleachers, which were originally used in the Richmond Olympic Oval. Hunter said it’s an example of an Olympic legacy.

“One of the great things about having a major sporting event like that is that things like this happen … that benefit people all over the province,” he said.

The bleachers’ plastic benches are coloured Mariner blue and will take up the same three walls of the gym as the old bleachers. As of mid-day Tuesday, six of the eight rafts of new bleachers had been installed. A hole had to be cut into the wall of the building to get the bleachers into the gym.

The gym will see a couple more upgrades this summer – the scoreboards will be replaced and the floor will be refinished.

Juniors feel they’re still in mix

TIMBERMEN TEAM plays Delta islanders sunday in Nanaimo.

BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN

The junior Timbermen aren’t where they want to be a third of the way through the season, but there’s still time for a fix.

Nanaimo’s B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League squad is coming off a tough loss, as the seventh-place T-men gave up seven unanswered goals to lose 14-10 to the sixthplace Port Coquitlam Saints on Sunday in PoCo. “Everyone in that room thinks winning’s a bit easier, but it’s not. Winning’s hard…” said Brad Dougan, coach of the T-men. “Right now there’s a lot of pissed-off guys in that locker room and I don’t blame them – there’s some guys taking the easy route right now and there’s some guys working their [tails] off.”

Sunday’s loss to PoCo dropped Nanaimo’s juniors six points back of the final playoff position, but they have a couple of games in hand on most teams.

they’ll need to pull off some upsets, like this coming Sunday (June 2) when they host the Delta Islanders at the Nanaimo Ice Centre.

The T-men (1-6) took the Isles (6-4) to overtime earlier this season, but Delta scored a power-play goal in OT to win that one 15-14.

“We need to stay out of the box,” Dougan said. “They’ve probably got one of the best

power plays in the league.”

Nanaimo is the most penalized team in the BCJALL by a country mile. The T-men are averaging 41 penalty minutes per game, while the other seven teams are averaging 21 per game.

Some of that comes down to focus, said Dougan, and the T-men are getting to the point in the season where they can’t afford many more lapses in concentration.

For now, the club isn’t considering giving up and trading away core players.

“If anything we’re looking to add bodies that are going to put us over the top and help us reach that playoff spot,” said Jon Nicholson, general manager.

He plans to wait and see how the club fares in the middle third of the season, he said.

“A couple teams ahead of us, I think they are still within our reach…” Nicholson said.

“So our goals are remaining the same. We still want to get into the playoffs and I still think we have the group to make the playoffs.”

GAME ON … The junior A Timbermen take on the Islanders this Sunday (June 2) in a 5 p.m. faceoff at the Nanaimo Ice Centre.

cool, calm and collected the whole three rounds, win or lose,” Van Buskirk said.

He won, beating an opponent from Mission whom he’d wanted to box for some time.

“He’s pretty good.

So I kind of feel like I’m closer now,” Van Buskirk said. “The

fight. I stayed aggressive and just pretty much tried to back him up the whole time.”

Irvine’s success at provincials, he said, only provides more inspiration.

“It just makes me want to train harder now,” he said.

M a c K a y - To p l e y, fighting in the junior open class, was matched up in his final against a Salmon Arm opponent whom he’d never faced before.

“He was a tall guy so it was kind of hard to get in range, but after I got in range and found my distance then it was easy to pull out the combinations,” said MacKayTopley.

Nanaimo News Bulletin B5

Acme Timbermen getting fast starts The Nanaimo Acme Timbermen have been in control most nights this season, and it’s a trend they’d like to continue.

The Acme Painting T-men senior B lacrosse team plays road games Saturday (June 1) in Langley and Sunday in New Westminster.

Nanaimo (4-1) has had good first periods to set the tone in most games.

“It settles the team down when we get the lead,” said Mike Maughan, T-men coach. “We can afford those lulls. You don’t like to see them, but in the game of lacrosse, they happen quite a bit.”

Blair Pinnock, T-men attacker, said getting an early lead in games is a big advantage.

“Because it’s an uphill battle for the other teams,” he said. “If you get down right away by a big margin, you lose your willpower.”

Next home game for the team is June 15.

Inbrief football

Coach, players lead defence Team B.C. probably won’t surrender many touchdowns at this summer’s Red River Cup. The defence will have a distinct Nanaimo flavour after Football B.C. announced the roster of its U16 all-star team this week.

Three Nanaimo players made the cut – defensive back Brandon White, defensive lineman Carson Vos and linebacker Cory Fletcher.

“We are very pleased with the level of competition and improvement through the evaluation process,” said Nanaimo’s Sean Roden, the team’s coach. in a press release.

“We believe that the combination of hungry and spirited players that have been selected to be part of U16 Team B.C., along with our accomplished coaching staff, position us well for success.”

Glenn Cook was recently added to the staff as D-line coach.

The Red River Cup takes place in Winnipeg from July 6-13. Aside from Team B.C., there will be two teams from the Winnipeg area and two from Saskatchewan.

The Nanaimo Science and Sustainability Society and Vancouver Island University are teaming up to get kids excited about science.

NS3, a non-profit society based in Nanaimo, is offering science summer camps for children ages five to 13 at the university’s Nanaimo campus in July and August.

The week-long camps offer high-quality learning opportunities complete with experiments, demonstrations, games, hands-on activities, group challenges and ties to local science.

“Our mission is to inspire families and develop their interest in science and sustainability through fun, hands-on learning,” said Liz DeMattia, NS3 co-founder and executive director.

Two theme camps will be offered: Get Set and Go explores how things like helicopters, birds, humans, fish and roller coasters move.

A second camp, Dare to Design, taps into every kids’ creativity and building skills to build bridges, create machines and solve engineering problems.

Programs will be tailored to junior sci-

entists (ages five to nine) and senior scientists (ages nine to 13). Early bird registration for all camps is June 15 and cost is $205.

DeMattia, a sessional instructor in VIU’s biology program, founded NS3 in 2010 along with environmental consultant Sue Durnin to increase science oppor tunities for kids.

“Our long-term goal is to get a science centre for the Nanaimo area,” said DeMattia. “We really want to incorporate local science into our programs so we’ve been working with the Pacific Biological Station, local engineering/environmental firms and VIU since the beginning.”

Last summer, NS3 launched free drop-in science programs in Nanaimo parks. After a successful run of school programs this spring, NS3 decided to offer its first year of summer camps. “ Te a c h i n g k i d s about science and introducing them to what the university is all about at an early age is important,” said VIU president Ralph Nilson.

For more details on NS3 and the summer camps, visit www. nanaimoscience.org.

Bouquets of sunshine and great weather to Canada Post and its miracle worker, Marie. I was panicking about the delivery of important documents at my new house and mailbox, and through sleet, snow and rain – and extra phone calls – Marie made the mail move. Thanks Marie, you’re marvelous. a huge Bouquet to all who supported the Nanaimo Child Development Centre’s Run, Walk and Roll event at Woodgrove Centre, raising more than $6,000 for programs and services. a grandnormous Bouquet to Todd, the transit driver, and Ken, the fellow passenger who helped me when I fell on the bus. a Bouquet. I have been reading the Nanaimo News Bulletin since its inception – it’s like a friend for me. Loyalty at your newspaper is wonderful. Your Beefs and Bouquets page must be unique to this world.

It enables people, briefly, to express their viewpoints in an anonymous manner – because nobody has ever been able to please everybody with their opinions. Also, spell check is one of the world’s best inventions. a sweet BLossom Bouquet of heartfeLt thanks to Dr. Schneidereit, office staff, surgical staff, third floor nurses and second floor short stay unit staff at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. Both my husband and I had surgery within two weeks of each other and are happily and slowly recuperating together. We could not have done it without the exceptional care that we received. From Rick and Betty.

They have eyes like eagles, at front and back, and can see needles in haystacks. However, blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. a Big, BeautifuL Bouquet to all those individuals who donated to the Cilaire Elementary School plant sale. Thank you also to the following businesses and organizations: Diana’s Garden Centre, Green Thumb Wholesale, Backyard Wild Bird and Nature Store, Dahlia Acres, Hazelwood Herb Farm, NanGo Grannies, Quality Foods, Nanaimo Community Gardens Society and the Nanaimo Horticultural Society.

The sale would not have been the huge success it was without your donations. a six pack of man roses to the Departure Bay 7-Eleven attendant who spotted me 50 cents for my lunch on Friday. You just don’t get customer care like that anymore. thank you to the Big Brit Construction man on Jenkins Road.

You went out at 6 a.m. and cleaned up the debris left behind from the hooligans who shot beer cans up with steel pellets the night before, so the elderly lady with the walker would not encounter any hazards on her morning walk. You are a nice man. a deep-dish Bouquet to Brendan of Domino’s Pizza on Norwell Drive. Our students from the District Life Skills class loved the pizza lunch you generously provided.

Your random act of kindness made our day.

huge soccer smiLes and thank yous to Team Belgium coaches, Jazz and Jessica, for making the mini World Cup so much fun for the boys. Your enthusiasm and dedication is much appreciated. a Light-BLue Bouquet to the B.C. Liberal Party for its victory in the recent election. Always beware of anything that has the word democratic as part of its name. Just look around the world. a huge, coLourfuL Bouquet to the store manager, Gregg, and all the staff at the Real Canadian Superstore. They are supportive of the WEST Program (employment program for students with cognitive disabilities) at Vancouver Island University and are excellent examples of employers going the extra mile. For the last three years, they have consistently accommodated students with disabilities and hired many of our students. I am proud to say that I am a loyal shopper. There should be more employers like this, who truly know the meaning of giving back to their communities. a Big thank you to the following people and businesses who help put musical instruments into the hands of kids who could not otherwise afford them: Les Tibbo and Trinitude, Kendall Patrick and the Headless Bettys, Jupiter Jill,

a wake-up Beef to the individual attempting to validate the actions of two youths who brought their troubles to someone else’s door. Their situation was selfinduced. No one should be expected to open their doors to strangers.

In the real world, people have paid dearly for such acts. These youths could have saved their money and bought a cellphone. That would have been kinder, safer and smarter.

bouquets Richard Leighton and Arbutus Music, Demeter and The Vault Café, and all the individuals who donated musical instruments and their time. a huge thank you to those who helped me at the Chase River Country Grocer parking lot when my car wouldn’t start. After trying many times, I had it towed to Steve Marshall Ford and found out it was a loose trigger wire to the starter.

Thanks again, folks. thanks to Kevin, owner of Perkins Coffee, and Jerry from 91.7 Coast FM for the coffee, sandwiches, fruit plate and treats. The staff at Pleasant Valley Elementary School thank you for the best surprise coffee break. a Bouquet for the people involved with the legion for the fabulous food provided for Carole’s celebration of life. A good time was had by all. a Bouquet to computer nerds.

We may not like you, generally speaking, but you sure are useful when something goes wrong with our computers. a Beef to provincial campgrounds that charge so much for so little firewood.

a Beef to all the various drivers, day and night, who constantly speed around and past me on Terminal Avenue going easily 80-100 km/h.

The speed limit here is 50 km/h. a dangerous Beef to whoever is moving logs onto popular local trails in an effort to stop motorized vehicles from going on these trails.

If a dirt biker or ATV rider hits one of these logs, the results could easily be fatal. Do you want to be responsible for taking a life? a gross Beef to the woman who walks her dog in the alley behind my house and never picks up the poo. I like to walk my dog in the alley, too, as there is less vehicle traffic there, but dodging poop makes it a hazardous venture. a Beef to people who plant full trees on their property line instead of shrubs and allow them to take over the sidewalk. I wish the city would make these people take them out. a Beef to renters who say they can’t pay their rent because their money hasn’t come through and then live rent free for two or three months until their landlords evict them. a Beef to whoever littered. All it took to make our city a little worse place, that day, was for you to throw your granola bar wrapper on the sidewalk.

Carl Gustav Fredrik Henckel Collett Rosen

Born in Denmark March 14th, 1917, Died May 24th, 2013 Carl Gustav passed away in Nanoose Bay on May 24th, 2013.

He is survived by his loving wife, June; one Brother, Jorgen; three sons, Jan (Jytte), Erik (Kate), Poul (Melanie); grandchildren, Ann-Louise, NielsHenrik, Christian, Charlotte, Cecilie, and Henrik; and 7 great grandchildren. The Great Dane will be missed by all that knew him.

There is no service planned

Robert Norman McLaren January 14, 1917 - May 13, 2013 Norm passed away peacefully, at 96 years young, after a brief hospital stay in Nanaimo.

He was predeceased by sister, Jessie; brothers, Ernest and Gordon; and daughter, Lyn. He is survived by his loving wife of 62 years, Nita; sons: Jack Foglietta, Jim Foglietta, Brian McLaren and their families. He will be dearly missed by grandchildren: Shannon, Nicholas and Jessica.

During World War II, Norm was a member of the 3rd Canadian Division and helped to liberate The Netherlands. Fifty years later, he and Nita returned as guests of the Dutch people to celebrate the event. For many years, Norm was very active in the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 256 where he was a founding member and served as president. He was also a longtime member of Ashlar Lodge, No. 3, becoming a Master Mason. After his retirement from the Nanaimo Post Office, Norm maintained an active life of golf, curling, cribbage, charity work and travel into his 90’s. He was especially pleased to get his driver’s license renewed at age 96.

Norm was at his best in a group of people and had a keen sense of humour. He was totally devoted to his wife, Nita and will be fondly remembered by his family and many friends at a Celebration of Life service to be held at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 256, E. Wellington Rd. on June 13th from 1:30 – 4:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Loaves & Fishes Community Food Bank.

The family will have a private gathering at our Mom’s request. Please take a moment to remember the good times, smile and dance a few steps in her memory.

A very special thank you goes to the caring nurses on the Arbutus wing and staff at Dufferin Place. Thanks to Dr. Steyn for taking care of our Mom.
