SENIOR MANAGERS met with News Bulletin to answer questions. BY CHRIS HAMLYN THE NEWS BULLETIN

A hazmat suit-clad ProPacific Restoration worker stretches to tear away 80-year-old shingles containing asbestos from the roof of St. Paul’s Anglican Church Wednesday morning. The work, contracted by Stint Construction, will cost an estimated $350,000 and is expected to be completed by the end of August.
Roof replacement begins church reno BY TOBY GORMAN THE NEWS BULLETIN
A
rchdeacon Brian Evans wasn’t fooled this week when he looked up and saw a number of figures dressed in white on the roof of St. Paul’s Anglican Church. They weren’t angels, they were ProPacific Restoration employees dressed in hazmat suits assessing the 80-yearold roof to prepare it for replacement. It is likely the inert asbestos firmly embedded within the shingles preserved the roof for this long, but with
the necessary roof replacement comes the challenge of disposing of the asbestos properly. The roof replacement is just one of several capital restoration projects the church has planned. In all, an estimated $3.3 million will be required to add seismic upgrades, install fire suppression sprinklers and completely renovate the entire hall and make it wheelchair accessible and, Evans said, to expand the ministry’s outreach ability. The new roof and disposal of asbestos is estimated to cost $350,000.
“Our parish performs significant outreach in the community, including providing a facility for many organizations like arts and culture groups,” said Evans. “We realize our space to do that is limited, and the accessibility is not ideal for all people.” A year-long information gathering project revealed that of the estimated 37,000 people who have been through the church over the last year, 48 per cent used it for church functions while 52 per cent used it for community functions. ◆ See ‘RENOVATION’ /4
With emotion butting heads with responsibility over Colliery Dam Park, city staff want to highlight the threat to public safety posed by the 100-year-old dams. Al Kenning, city manager, Tom Hickey, general manager community services, and Philip Cooper, communications manager, met with the News Bulletin’s editorial board Monday to answer questions on a number of issues buzzing around the community, including potential development in the park. The Dam Safety Section of the Water Management Branch of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources Operations, informed the city the lower and middle dams are an extreme risk and in their current condition a public safety hazard. Told to correct the problem, council decided on draining the reservoirs and removing the dams in July when water levels are at their lowest. The project includes replacing the dams next year. Kenning said the city is not taking on this project simply because it wants to stir the pot. “Nobody wants to have to deal with these dams. We knew how people would react,” he said. “The studies say there are 130 people that are likely to die if those dams go. By our calculations, there is something like a
15-per cent chance in the next 50 years that it’s going to happen. “That is not a miniscule risk. That is a significant risk and it gets higher every year. It’s enough of a risk that people can’t just ignore it.” Cooper said some of those opposed to the project are not taking into consideration the public safety threat. “People are dismissing that because we don’t have a lot of public safety threat issues come up. When they do, it’s a different type of debate,” he said. “A lot of the conversations are about what people want as individuals, but we are talking about a collective responsibility. That’s what government has to operate under.” Other rumours surround plans to put a road through the park and develop a subdivision. “A lot of people are grabbing on to ideas that don’t have any foundation in our legal or legislative capabilities,” Cooper said. “To develop the park there is a public process to go through. We would need permission from the electorate. The city simply doesn’t have the ability to say ‘we’re going to develop that’. “There is an assumption out there that the city has more powers than it really does.” Kenning said people need to put themselves in the role of a council member. “They’ve been told by the Dam Safety Branch, their professional engineers they’ve hired and their staff that this is a public safety risk,” he said. “And then to not do anything about it and have something happen would not be a pretty story.” news@nanaimobulletin.com

Bar fight retrial moved to 2014 Two brothers charged with manslaughter following a 2006 bar fight in Nanaimo are back in court next May for a retrial. Timothy and Matthew Maybin, as well as Buddha Gains, who worked as a bouncer in the now-closed Grizzly Bar, were found not guilty in 2008 of manslaughter in the death of Michael Brophy, 20, of Gabriola Island. The Crown appealed the acquittals and in 2010, a 2-1 B.C. Court of Appeal decision ordered a new trial for the Maybins, but upheld the decision to acquit Gains. The Supreme Court of Canada upheld that decision on appeal. Their retrial was scheduled to begin earlier this month, but has been rescheduled to run May 5 to June 13 next year. Crown spokesman Neil Mackenzie said a defence adjournment application led to the later trial date.

Envoy Dawne Anderson, the Nanaimo Salvation Army’s fundraising and promotions coordinator, is working on her swing in preparation for the organization’s annual Charity Golf Classic, which takes place Tuesday (June 25).
The Salvation Army is set to drive away hunger at its ninth annual Charity Golf Classic Tuesday (June 25) at Cottonwood Golf Course. For $140, golfers will get 18 holes of golf, a power cart, a warm up bucket of balls, a putting contest, a $40 tax receipt, dinner, the chance to win prizes and bid on silent auction items and the satisfaction of knowing that they have helped out some of Nanaimo’s neediest citizens. Proceeds from the event, the organization’s second-largest fundraiser, will help the Salvation Army serve thousands of meals each month at its New Hope Centre, where the group also provides food hampers five days a week and emergency shelter. “Apart from kettles, this is the only other big event we do,” said envoy Dawne Anderson, Nanaimo Salvation Army fundraising coordinator. “If you enjoy golf, this is your time. And you won’t leave
without a prize.” Registration starts at 11:30 a.m. and tee off time is 1 p.m. Anderson said people are divided up into teams of four and even if people are a little rusty, the pressure is not on because all four players take the next shot after tee off from the location of the best shot. “You don’t have to be a professional player, just come out and enjoy yourself,” she said. Prizes include $5,000 from Auto Check Automotive for a hole-inone and gift cards to restaurants, stores and entertainment venues. After golfing, dinner is served and then participants have the chance to bid on a number of silent and live auction items, including Chemainus Theatre tickets, B.C. Lions tickets and a night’s stay in Vancouver, whale watching and a night’s accommodation in Tofino, and an Island golf travel card that allows the holder to play at different courses on the Island. Anderson said the Salvation Army is looking for more golfers and also more prize donations.

Nanaimo council approves next step to finalize water agreement with Lantzville tion of Nanaimo-provided water would equal about 36 hours of current consumption by Nanaimo residents and businesses. Coun. Bill Bestwick, who voted against the motion, said Nanaimo’s own uncertain water future makes the deal hard to swallow. “It appears to me we have our own issues and we have our own concerns that we need to address and deal with first,” said Bestwick. “We have some extremely big issues that represent extremely big dollars and until we have a regional growth strategy as it relates to water preservation ... I cannot support this motion.” Nanaimo is currently building

a $65-million water treatment facility and new No. 1 reservoir to ensure safe drinking water for citizens in the future. A new dam to store more water is also being explored by the city, a project that could cost $70 million. Nanaimo Mayor John Ruttan, a Lantzville resident, excused himself from the vote and discussion on the issue. Though the two municipalities have been working on an agreement for more than seven years, Nanaimo officials left the discussions over the past two years to address the city’s own water needs. A formal agreement has not yet been signed, but council’s decision Monday gives staff
from both municipalities the go-ahead to get it done. “For years our community has been pursuing an alternate water source to supplement our current water system given our depleted aquifer,” said Jack de Jong, Lantzville’s mayor. “Now that the city has agreed to supply water to Lantzville, our community is now in a position to enjoy a safe, secure, and reliable source of water for years to come.” reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

Nanaimo city council voted 5-3 Monday night to go ahead and finalize a water supply agreement with the District of Lantzville. The controversial agreement, the result of a 2005 memorandum of understanding between the two municipalities, will include a 20-year renewable term with Lantzville paying the full cost to connect to the system. Critics of the agreement say that Lantzville has not shown itself to be an adequate conservation steward of water, that Nanaimo’s own water supply is not secure enough, and that a
regional water strategy needs to be established before intermunicipal deals can be struck. The agreement on the table is to supply only Upper Lantzville residents and businesses with water. Terms of the agreement include: water will not be used for major agricultural production or golf courses; Lantzville cannot sell or permit the sale of bulk water or bottled water outside the municipality; and Lantzville must keep its existing wells operating at current levels. Connections to new development will also be limited to 50 units a year. A city report estimates that Lantzville’s annual consump-

if this is really possible,” said Annesley. “We’ll have all of the exploration work done and find out if the community is behind us. This is, for us, a massive project.” St. Paul’s currently has $1.1 million in its coffers to pay for the project. Annesley said the $2.2-million balance will be sought from organizations, donors and government grants. The roof, however, is already moving ahead and should be completed by the end of August. Annesley added there were long discussions on how to approach the asbestos component, and in the end the committee decided to take the more expensive and responsible approach. “It was talked about that maybe we could just put a roof over top of the old one and not face the challenge, which would have been great and cost us much less,” he said. “Our feeling as a building committee, we felt this is something we’re going to pass on to future generations and we’ve got to do the job right. Let’s
address it and face the music.” Replacement shingles will be a cement fibre product imported from Europe in an effort to retain the historical aspect and appearance of the church, which is on the city’s heritage register. St. Paul’s celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2011. The property tucked between Church and Chapel streets was donated by the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1859, and the original congregation began in 1861. Evans said the church’s footprint will not change, but the hall’s interior will undergo extensive renovations. “It’s important to note that worship will continue as usual on Sundays during the changes,” he said. If the feasibility study provides the go-ahead and fundraising is successful, work on the hall could begin in about a year. Annesley said the finished product will be a benefit for worshippers and the general community. reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

Race crews prepared for tsunami debris
I
VAN ISLE 360 wraps up in Nanaimo on saturday (June 22). By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
A briefing on tsunami debris and ocean garbage helped crews and skippers in the Black Press Van Isle 360 yacht race get up to speed on potential navigation hazards and learn about the impact our culture is having on the marine environment. Prior to the race start on June 8, Karla Robison, manager of environmental and emergency services for the District of Ucluelet, gave competitors a presentation on how communities on Vancouver Island’s West Coast are dealing with ocean debris washing ashore. The information is especially valuable now as the vessels navigate the challenging waters off the rugged coast. The boats sailed from Ucluelet harbour to Victoria yesterday, and will leave the capital Friday (June 21), finishing in Nanaimo harbour sometime Saturday.
The earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in March 2011 discharged millions of tonnes of debris into the Pacific Ocean, a percentage of which is currently arriving on North America’s West Coast. Robison said scientific studies and tracking of the roughly five million tonnes of debris estimated to have been swept into the ocean, indicates about 1.25 million tonnes could wash up onto North American beaches. The rest will either drift back to Japan, sink, or remain circulating in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Robison is heavily involved with programs to clean up the debris as it arrives. That debris consists of everything from fishing floats to buildings, fishing skiffs to derelict ships, silos, container tanks, lumber and hazardous materials, such as containers of pesticides and volatile chemicals. Shipping containers and even a Harley Davidson motorcycle have washed ashore. “Some of the lighter stuff was going to arrive a bit earlier and heavier stuff is still going to be coming and it’s going to be continuing to arrive,” Robison

said. “There are small eddies in the ocean that keep dispersing this debris further and further so it’s really hard to track.” The debris moves at a rate of about 240 kilometres every 30 days, but few items are likely to make their way into the Strait of Georgia. A lot of what is coming ashore now is lumber, styrofoam, fishing floats, drift nets and plastic bottles. Local volunteer groups are keeping beaches around communities clean. “A lot of the debris is where people can’t access, so our beaches around here are fairly clean of it because of enormous volunteer support to come out and clean them
up, but you go in a boat up or down the coast, there’s debris,” Robison said. Invasive marine species, such as mussels and barnacles that could take hold here and compete with or overrun local species, are piggybacking on sections of docks, boat hulls and floats. Debris comes from places other than Japan. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch contains flotsam from many nations. Robison handed out information and phone numbers to call, such as the ministry of environment for hazardous materials or the Canadian Coast Guard or Transport Canada if crews encounter offshore derelict vessels and
other navigation hazards. Yacht crews will likely be interested in the information she’s offering, not just from a safety standpoint, but from an environmental one as well. “It not just about tsunami debris,” she said. “There’s a marine debris issue out there and it’s pretty significant. Eighty per cent of marine debris comes from land.” For more information on tsunami debris, please visit the B.C. Ministry of Environment website at http://env.gov.bc.ca/ epd/tsunami-debris/index.htm.

When a group of students from Nanaimo District Secondary School participated in a humanitarian trip to Senegal earlier this year, they found that while some adults did not like to have their picture taken, many of the children they encountered loved being in front of the camera. Lucas Pallard, a Grade 11 student, is surrounded by children during one of the group’s school visits.
was visiting the schools, where he said the kids would run up to meet the Canadian students. “They all wanted to meet us and know our names,” he said, adding that class sizes were between 50-60 students with just one teacher in the room and technology was minimal – one school had a computer lab, but the computers were old and teachers used various recycled materials as blackboards. The students were overwhelmed at times by the heat – each day, temperatures rose above 30 C – and amazed at the languages people knew – most spoke Wolof and French, and English and Spanish were also taught in schools. Almost all of the students on the trip got sick at some point and they learned that timelines are different
than in Canada – one day the person who was supposed to bring the students lunch arrived two hours later than promised. Pallard said the slower pace of life was nice, but at the same time students were anxious to get moving, as they were only there for a few weeks. On students’ minds more often now is ensuring they are not wasteful with food or electricity – one of the villages they visited in Senegal didn’t have electricity or running water and while people weren’t starving, there was less variety in the diets of the Senegalese people. Charlebois said the first thing she did when she arrived home was have a glass of milk, as all the students had access to was powdered milk in Senegal. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com
Provincewide gun amnesty nets dozens of firearms from Nanaimo community By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
Police in Nanaimo are gathering up dozens of firearms from around the city under the current B.C. gun amnesty. Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman, said many of the firearms are being turned in by widows or family members who have inherited weapons they don’t want. Throughout the month of June penalties for possessing weap-
ons without proper licensing is suspended so people can turn in weapons without fear of running afoul of the law. There is no amnesty being offered for possession of weapons that have been used to commit a crime. Anyone who wants to dispose of firearms can call Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 and police will come to homes to collect the weapons. People must not try to dispose of firearms or ammunition by bring-
ing them into any RCMP detachment. “Since June 1 we’ve had nine separate seizures,” O’Brien said. As of Tuesday Nanaimo Mounties have collected 28 rifles, eight handguns and nearly 1,000 rounds of ammunition. All of the weapons were functional. Serial numbers of handguns were checked, but none turned up as stolen or related to criminal activity. The majority of the gathered
weapons will be destroyed. To learn more about the B.C. gun amnesty, please visit the program website at www.bcgu namnesty.ca. The learn more about laws and regulations regarding possession and use of firearms of all types in Canada, please visit the Canadian Firearms Program at www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf. Vancouver Island Military Museum is also collecting historic weapons. People who have historic firearms they no
longer want, but wish to see them preserved can donate them to the museum, which provides tax receipts for the value of donated weapons. Since transporting weapons without a possession and acquisition license is illegal, do not bring weapons to the museum. To donate weapons, please call Vancouver Island Museum staff at 250-753-3814 and they will arrange to have the firearms collected. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Turn on water taps with care As Nanaimo prepares to turn on the tap for Lantzville, more focus needs to be given to water conservation across both areas. Presenters speaking in opposition to a water supply agreement between Nanaimo and the District of Lantzville at Monday’s city council meeting had some good points, including that new thinking around the water supply needs to occur. Council later gave approval to finalize an agreement with the district that includes a 20-year renewable term, with Lantzville paying the full cost to connect to the system. But encouraging less water usage by all is important, given the enormous price tag of building new dams. Other issues include that much of Nanaimo’s watershed is owned by logging companies. Paul Manly, who recently made a film that examines the state of public drinking watersheds on the Island, said that even though Lantzville has not grown much over the past decade due to access to water issues, the district’s council has not considered mandating that cisterns be built into the foundations of new homes. Rainwater harvesting is already a focus for the Regional District of Nanaimo, which has an incentive program providing rebates to homeowners who invest in cisterns. The 40 rebates given out last year sold out within six months. Manly also emphasized revenue should not be used as a factor in making decisions around the water supply. Similarly, any water supply agreement should not be the catalyst for more development. While connections to new developments would be limited to 50 units per year, 50 units is a major expansion for a town like Lantzville. In its purest form, water should simply be accessible and conserved, and not used for ulterior motives like development or profit.

ern premiers met this week in Winnipeg. And the three-province project now called New West Partnership will continue to dismantle inter-provincial barriers. Why would the NDP be secretly against that? Because it’s also a ‘labour mobility’ agreement. This harkens back to a supposed golden age in Canada, when two corporate titans shared the beer business, producing identical bland lager. Inter-provincial trade was strictly forbidden, requiring each province to have a unionized brewery to make uniformly bad beer. This is the power of a monopoly union. And because of it, this was how governments tried to create jobs. It’s a bygone era to which many core NDP supporters stubbornly cling. This explains the party’s revival of a job protection commissioner for forestry. Which brings us to the proverbial root cause of the B.C. NDP’s woes. Its largest financial donor is the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union, which donated $1.4 million to the party in the past eight years, nosing out the Canadian Union of Public Employees and the Hospital Employees’ Union. Former HEU and BCGEU presidents now sit in the NDP caucus, critics for health and ‘green’ jobs respectively. u Tom Fletcher is a legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com.

Health cuts should come from top To the Editor,
I wonder if any medical administrator in the Vancouver Island Health Authority really cares about the ‘true’ bottom line. I am in the stepdown unit on Floor 3 of Nanaimo Regional General Hospital after six days post-op from major surgery. Since a diagnosis of colorectal cancer in June 2004, the third-floor staff have been like extended family. I was also a perinatal registered nurse at NRGH from 1975 to 2010 when health issues forced me to retire. In the past nine years, I have
spent 149 nights as a patient on Floor 3, watching the intelligent, caring, dedicated employees become more frustrated with staffing levels. I am so sick of ‘higher ups’ sitting in their offices with their huge wages making ludicrous decisions for the sake of money. I worked in the system for 35 years and was a dedicated nurse who fought for her patients’ rights – just as the nurses are doing again now. We fought to get safe patient-tonurse ratios and won. Why is the fight on again?
Where VIHA needs to cut is at the top levels and keep RNs on the front lines. Administration invites staff to attend meetings, but only to say they had staff input. But it’s not input if you’re not listened to. I am in no fear of losing my job by speaking out. Cancer took my career, but not my voice. I am so frustrated for the wonderful RNs and all health-care workers struggling through their shifts trying to keep their patients safe.

To the Editor,
Re: Snuneymuxw expresses concerns over dam demolition, June 18. The City of Nanaimo’s failure to consult with Snuneymuxw First Nation at every step of the way with regards to the Colliery Dam Park dams is shameful. One would have thought, especially since hiring a communications officer, these serious breaches of diplomacy would have been a thing of the past. Sadly, we see they are not. This instance is indicative of a greater and ongoing problem. Lack of communication, staff to staff, staff to council, council to citizens etc., appears to be endemically entrenched. While we have taken some small steps toward transparency in this city, it is obvious there is far more work to be done. Openness through all levels, not just the mirage of such, is a beneficial behaviour to strive for.
A failure to communicate with Snuneymuxw First Nation surrounding Colliery Dam Park is indicative of a greater problem, says letter writer.

Re: City seeks court order ahead of Colliery protest, June 6. Colliery Dam Park is such a beautiful heritage place and the removal of its dams can never bring the park back to its natural state.

Re: Soccer turban ban an insult to all, Opinion, June 15. In my long life I have been a soccer player, spectator, coach, referee, assistant referee and administrator. In all those years I have never seen any player wearing head coverage in organized or unorganized soccer. Except one worldrenowned goalkeeper guarding against a previous, serious head injury. In many places around the world players go bare-footed. Because heading or attempting to head the ball is important in soccer, there are a number of head injuries. But wearing any type of head covering would be an unfair advantage – including bandanas – because any hurt impacting the ball would be lessened with head coverage.

By Lisa M. Fox I grew up in the rivers and lakes of Vancouver Island, swam with the spawning salmon and explored the coastal habitat of both people and the wildlife that is so rich and diverse in the Gulf Islands. I cherished the special places of my home and visit them often for renewal and revival of my dedication and career as a change agent and leader in environmental management. When I moved to Alberta several years ago, I discovered a love for public policy and enabling policy tools that brought together people from diverse interests to build solutions for complex environmental and social problems. Water has and will always be my passion – water is intrinsically valued by all of us and to some, water is more than a resource for recreation, necessary community infrastructure, and something to be managed. Water is an essential component of life and some of us understand this in a very powerful instinctive way. There are strong feelings that erupt when we see water decisions being made that are exclusive of a ‘respect’ for our feelings of place and values. The policy nexus of water lives in the values and hearts of the community – when decisions are made to manage, steward, or change the
dynamics of how we interact with water, community must be engaged in a meaningful way. Not exclusive of science, common sense, or risk scenarios – but rather, inclusive of all the values of the people that interact and live in the water community. We call this watershed management planning in Alberta – and we have developed a shared governance approach to water management that is inclusive of the voices of the community, governments, and other key stakeholders through process. This process is one where the water is at the centre of the dialogue – the science, the risk, and the values are all on the table in the process of making decisions. Trust in the process must be earned – decisions that flow from trust will be observed, respected, and doable. My love for the special places of my home has encouraged me to pen this letter to all that might take a moment to read it. The importance of stewarding our water and watersheds should encourage all of us to re-think the process and perhaps take a page from another book that in my opinion, is starting to get it right. u Lisa Maria Fox is the founder and executive director of Sustainability Resources Ltd.

the causes of global warming said human activity is a primary factor. Less than one per cent rejected the consensus position. The results are consistent with previous research. Deniers often rely on talking points spread by a handful of usual suspects, including Christopher Monckton in the U.K., the Heartland Institute and Anthony Watts in the U.S., and Friends of Science and Tom Harris in Canada. Science isn’t perfect, but it’s one of the best tools we have for understanding our place in the cosmos. When people around the world apply rigorous scientific method to study our actions and their impacts on the things that keep us alive and healthy – clean air, water, soil and biodiverse plants and animals – we must listen. Many of the proposed solutions have long been advocated by people working in science, the environment and even business: conserving energy and reducing fossil fuel use; better ecosystem management through processes like natural capital evaluation; improved food production and distribution and waste reduction; regulating and preventing pollution; and stabilizing population growth through better education, health care, family-planning services, economic opportunities and women’s rights. Humanity has changed direction before. When our tools become outdated, we invent new ones. It’s why in many countries, we no longer rely on slavery to maintain economies, we can all vote regardless of race or sex and we enjoy longer and healthier lives than before. We can and must change the way we act. That requires listening to scientists and those who are working on solutions, and not to the naysayers and deniers who would keep us stalled in a doomed spiral. www.davidsuzuki.org

Burlesque beauty BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN
S
he just wanted to express herself. But Rosie Bitts’s job as a music and pre-school teacher meant she had to keep a conservative image. Even in her personal life she couldn’t find a way to assert her sexuality. “I was really looking for something where I could express myself creatively as a woman,” she said. It wasn’t until she discovered burlesque that she was able to embrace a persona and share that side. “It’s a really wonderful creative outlet as an artist,” said Bitts, adding she is in control of everything on stage. What’s great about burlesque is that women of all body types are free to express themselves and feel beautiful, she said, adding that sometimes in society people are pigeonholed because they are a certain weight or age. “In burlesque all of that is gone,” she said. “You get to create who you are. You are free. You get to choose who you come to the
stage as. On the burlesque stage you can be a glamour queen.” Performing helped her feel she had a safe place to share her sexuality. Performers can choose whatever characters they want. They can be funny and silly or wanton and racy. “All of this is accepted,” she said. Interacting with audience members during a performance is one of her favourite parts of the show. “I was an actor before I did this. For me burlesque has a unique interaction. For me it feels like a dialogue between me and the audience,” said Bitts. Rosie Bitts performs at the Queen’s Sunday (June 23) at 9 p.m. The show includes performances by Lalani Electric, Vava Zunberbust and two of Rosie Bitts’s students Dalila Delish and Chastity Twist. “It’s got that fabulous old school cabaret feeling and burlesque,” she said. Tickets for the show at the Queen’s are $15 and are available at the bar or by calling 250-754-6751. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Bellydancers host annual bazaar Bellydancers are swaying their hips for a good cause Saturday (June 22). Dancers from around the Island are performing during the fourth annual Bellydance Bazaar and Solstice Spirit Dance Party at St. Paul’s Anglican Church Hall. “Last year we saw dancers from Victoria to Campbell River and they wowed the audience made up of bellydancers and the general public,” said Lynette Harper, in a press release. “This year even more professional dancers, teachers and students have been generous in donating performances.” The bazaar features vendors selling costumes, street wear, jewelry and accessories from around the world. There will be
palm and tarot card readings and food for sale. There is also a morning workshop led by professional dancer and teacher Rahma Haddad. She’ll lead a session of Zar, a ritualistic dance that originated in North Africa, from 10-11:30 a.m. This year is the first the Solstice Spirit Celebration is being held. It features Middle Eastern and Romani dances. “St. Paul’s Church Hall will be transformed once again into a whirl of colour, sound and savory smells,” said Harper. The Bellydance Bazaar is from 1-5 p.m. Admission is $5 and kids are free. The Solstice Spirit Dance Party 7:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Admission is $10. The event is a fundraiser for the Haven Society.

mune who would use their power to manipulate people. Aaron Quinn the c o m m u n e ’s f i c tional leader terrifies Lavoie, but she doesn’t know why. Stevens first book, Still Missing, was released in 2009, and made the New York Times bestseller list. Her second novel, Never Knowing, is an international bestseller. Stevens grew up in Shawnigan Lake and lives in the Nanaimo area with her family. She has been busy working on her fourth
book and taking care of her daughter Piper, who is six months old. The author deals with issues that don’t tend to be discussed in the open or still have a stigma attached to them – issues such as depression and addiction. Those subjects have struck a chord with some readers who have told Stevens it affected their lives and helped them. “To know you have impacted someone’s life, that is profound,” she said. Stevens will be signing books and having a discussion with readers at Chapters, located at 6670 Mary Ellen Dr., Saturday (June 22) at 2 p.m. The event includes a special interview conducted by Susan Juby. Her books are available at all major bookstores. For more information about Always Watching please go to www.raincoast.com. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Summer film camp gives youth hands-on experience By Rachel SteRn The news bulleTin
Youth in the central Island can learn all aspects of filmmaking during an upcoming summer camp presented by Spotlight Academy. The film camp offers youth ages nine to 16 a chance to learn about writing, directing, costuming production, acting, the art of cinematography and more. The participants will create and act in a short film, which they will receive a copy of after
the camp. Jacqui Kaese, acting coach and owner of the academy, said there are many roles behind the camera. “There are hundreds of different job roles to produce a movie,” she said. This camp will introduce youth to the variety of jobs they could pursue in the film industry and educate them about independent films. Kaese said independent filmmaking is taking off around the province and Nanaimo.
“Nanaimo is rapidly becoming a hub of potential filmmakers, a hub of independent filmmakers,” she said. “We’re now seeing this huge growth in filmmakers in the province, nationally and globally.” Participants will create a film called Lemonade Stand. The film’s plot is about a team of girls and boys squaring off to see who can have the most success selling lemonade. Kaese said these camps help youth gain self confidence, selfesteem, team-building skills,
communication skills and more. The camp includes acting instruction by Kaese and production and filming instruction by Zachary Tanner, founder of the Hub City Cinema Society. They are July 8-12 and August 12-16, Monday to Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. And filming on Thursdays and Fridays can run a bit longer. The camp cost is $160 plus tax.

SR. A LACROSSE team takes on New West at Queen’s Park Arena. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN
Mid Isle FC Highlanders player Colin Knight takes the ball up the pitch during a game against Victoria United on Sunday afternoon at Beban Park’s Merle Logan Field. Knight would score the game-tying goal moments later and the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
Highlanders high up in standings and getting better BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
It only counts as a tie in the standings, but it could mean a lot to the Mid Isle FC Highlanders. The region’s Pacific Coast Soccer League men’s reserve squad tied Victoria United 2-2 on Sunday at Merle Logan Field. The 90 minutes were filled with learning experiences – the Highlanders felt they let the visitors take the game to them for stretches of the
second half, but then the home team persevered and got rewarded. Bill Merriman, coach of the Mid Isle FC men, said his guys will be able to take a lesson out of Sunday’s game. “I think it does a lot, especially for the younger guys because this whole program is building for the future and for them to see what it takes.” Other teams in the league have games in hand on Mid Isle FC (4-1-3), but at the moment the side is in
first place in the table. “I’m happy with it. I think we’ve done well,” said Merriman. “We’ve played some very close games, we’ve got a couple ties now that we maybe should have won.” He said the offence, led by Keegan Lang, still has potential to really get going, and the defence will be bolstered by the return of team captain Dan Cato. “We’re doing great,” said Colin Knight, who scored Sunday’s gametying goal. “We’ve

had a couple games where we deserved to win but we lost points, but we’ve had other ones where we all game together and we ended up beating [strong teams].”

Teams in the Western Lacrosse Association aren’t going to win many games if they don’t have their fundamentals down pat. The Nanaimo Coastal Windows Timbermen will be trying to get back to basics today (June 20) as they travel to play the New Westminster Salmonbellies at Queen’s Park Arena. The senior A T-men are coming off a 9-6 loss to the Coquitlam Adanacs this past Sunday in which they hurt themselves with some fixable mistakes. Kaleb Toth, the team’s coach, said his guys have looked better on special teams lately but he sees other areas of concern. “We’ve just got to work on the little things. Work on catching the ball, passing the ball…” said Toth. “Five-on-five play offensively, we need to get a little better so we’ll practise that, we’ll practise D plays and hopefully those mistakes from missing passes and dropping balls don’t happen.” Paul Brebber, T-men forward, said the little mistakes add up. “That’s why we’re falling short,” he said. “A lot of games are really close.” GAME ON … Tonight’s tilt is the start of a home-and-home series against the Salmonbellies. Nanaimo hosts New West on Sunday (June 23) at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Acme T-men expect tougher test
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. The Nanaimo Pirates and Parksville Royals were slated to play up Island last night after press time. They have been rained out twice in recent weeks.
Congratulations

The Acme Timbermen have been running roughshod over the rest of the league lately, but now they’ll be matched up against another contender. The Nanaimo Acme Painting Timbermen senior B lacrosse team hosts the TriCity Bandits this Saturday (June 22). The Bandits ousted the T-men from the playoffs last year and Tri-City has won the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association championship the last five years in a row. “ We k n o w t h a t we’ve got some strong teams coming up here…” said Mike Maughan, coach of the Acme T-men. “But we’re looking at it as a positive thing to try to build our game going into the playoffs. Playing these good teams can only help us.” The Bandits (5-3) will be better than most of the teams the T-men (8-1) have

beaten lately, but Nanaimo won’t need to make any major changes to the game plan. “There’s little wrinkles that you add in for every team,” said Aaron Vanderhorst, T-men veteran. “We’re more concerned about running our systems and doing good habits, playing good transition lacrosse, both defence and offence and carr ying that forward into every game.”
The T-men don’t really know what TriCity team to expect. The Bandits have had erratic results lately, for example, winning 23-9 and losing 10-2 against the same North Shore opponent, less than a week apart. “We definitely want to measure ourselves – with our record, we’re right up there,” Maughan said. “But at the same point you measure yourself as you’re going into the playoffs.”
GAME ON … The Timbermen and Bandits play Saturday at 6:30 p.m. at the Nanaimo Ice Centre. Admission to Acme Timbermen games is $8 for adults and $5 for children, or free to any Nanaimo D i s t r i c t L a c ro s s e Association player who comes to the game with a paying adult … The Bandits’ Bryan Poole is leading the WCSLA in scoring with 33 points despite playing only four games this season.

Harbour City FC chosen Team of the Week

MINOR SOCCER squad gets chance at grand prize.
Vive la Team France. Nanaimo’s Harbour City FC’s Team France U8 boys’ soccer team was chosen the BMO Team of the Week earlier this month. Only 15 soccer sides across the whole country will be selected for the honour over the course of the summer. One BMO Team of the Week champion will win $125,000 to refurbish a community field and will also get to go
to a pro or international game. BMO Team of the Week winners are selected based on their team pride, spirit, community commitment and passion for the game. “The Harbour City FC U8 boys’ Team France have shown dedication and passion which extends beyond the field, to the community at large,” said Joanne Gassman, BMO Bank of Montreal’s vice-president for the B.C.-Yukon region, in a press release. “The boys’ tenacity and good spirit is reflected in their contribu-

tions to a stronger community off the field and I am proud to recognize them as BMO Team of the Week.” Team France wins $500, another $500 for the
charity of its choice and BMO Team of the Week tracksuits for players and coaches. “These boys are as committed to fostering team spirit as they are to learning the game,” said Jazz Sohal, coach of Harbour City FC Team France. “The energy, passion, and understanding for one another and the way they play the game, is simply brilliant … I could not be more proud of these young superstars.” The grand-prize winner will be determined by a public online vote at BMO soccer.com from Aug. 5-19.

the off-season, the coach said players are mostly just working on fundamentals – things like footwork and stance, for example – and conditioning. That’s one area where the return of defensive coordinator Doug Hocking to the coaching staff will be felt by Raiders players. “Coach Hawk is back so they understand there’s going to be a lot of conditioning and running and we’re going to once again do our best to be a football team that’s in great shape,” Blokker said. The positive practices, plus an influx of new players and new talent, has the Raiders encouraged for this summer. “It’s built momentum and excitement and we just can’t wait to get going,” Blokker said.

HELP SOLVE THESE CRIMES
DEBIT CARD/MACHINE FRAUD
Nanaimo RCMP are advising local merchants to be vigilant after several stores in recent weeks have had fraudulent transactions carried out on their debit machines, netting thieves several thousand dollars. A male and female are involved and are targeting small businesses that have only one or two clerks working. Once in the store, one suspect approaches the clerk and begins to make a small purchase. He uses a debit card and once it is inserted into the portable debit machine, the second suspect attempts to distract the clerk. This allows the first suspect to enter the stores generic merchant authorization code, which he knows. The original purchase is then cancelled and he quickly rips off the printed copy. With the clerk still distracted, he refunds between $100 and $1,000 dollars into his debit account. Once complete, the original item is purchased and he leaves the store. Investigators have obtained descriptions of the two suspects and the car being used. The first suspect is a white male, approximately 6’1” tall and in his early 30s. He has light brown hair, a goatee and has some tattoos on his upper arms. He has been accompanied by a female who distracts the clerk. She is also white, about 5’5” with long blonde hair. She has been well dressed and on one occasion was wearing a black dress and carried a red neon purse. The vehicle they were seen driving is a newer model, dark colored Lincoln Navigator. “Merchants must change their merchant authorization code to a unique password known only to them, otherwise they too could fall prey to this fraud,” said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman. “We are aware that this fraud has been carried out in at least one other jurisdiction on the Island and we are liaising with the officers involved to further our investigations.” Anyone with information on these crimes, is asked to please contact Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, or go to www.nanaimocrimestoppers.com.

Quarterway Elementary School parent advisory council and staff are issuing a friendly challenge so children don’t go hungry.
The school is supporting the Nanaimo Foodshare Summer Lunch Munch program that provides more than 6,000 lunches to children in need. Free lunches are distributed at local parks hosting summer parks, recreation and culture programs. Quarterway’s goal is to raise enough money to pay for two months of lunches for 16 children – one child for each of its 16 divisions. A donation of $60 provides a nutritious lunch to a child for the entire summer. “Like other
councils, our PAC and staff support students in many ways,” said Heather Northrop of Quarterway’s PAC. “Now we are going to extend that support over the summer to children out in the community. For the 10-month school year many district students rely on Nanaimo Foodshare’s meals programs. But for some, the two-month summer holidays can mean the loss of food security. “Please consider giving the gift of nutrition as a thank you to your child’s teacher. Make a donation to
Nanaimo Foodshare in any amount.” At Quarterway, families can drop off their donation of cash or cheque (payable to Nanaimo Foodshare) at the school office. Donations are tax deductible and Nanaimo Foodshare is happy to issue tax receipts for donations in any amount. “Schools need students to come back healthy and ready to learn in September,” said Northrop. “To be ready to learn, students need nutritious food.” For more information, please e-mail quarterwayschoolpac@gmail.com.

To be eligible to drive Modo vehicles, Nanaimo CarShare members must be in good standing. “Before allowing a Nanaimo CarShare member to use its cars, Modo understandably wants to know about the member’s driving record and whether the member’s account with us is past due,” said Peirce. Nanaimo CarShare members can make self-service bookings for trips as short as an hour or as long as three days. For information on membership, please go to nanaimocarshare.ca or phone 250741-4141.

Non-profit carsharing organizations in North America like Nanaimo CarShare and Modo The Car Co-op often work together to boost carsharing benefits to their members. The new ‘roaming’ arrangement between the two co-operatives means clear and significant advantages for both Nanaimo CarShare and Modo members. “Now our members who need a car during a trip to the mainland can instead walk on the ferry and pick up a Modo car in metro Vancouver,” said John Peirce, Nanaimo CarShare board president.

Summer means being prepared Whether you’re on a road trip, at the park, camping, hiking or biking, summer is a great time to try a new activity or visit a new place. No matter what is on your summer activity list, it’s always a good idea to play it safe and pack a firstaid kit to have on hand for those unique summer injuries. “Common summer injuries include scrapes, bites and stings, sprains, splinters and sunburns,” said
Kevin Cox, pharmacist at Nanaimo’s Real Canadian Superstore. “The change of season is a great time to take inventory and re-stock your first-aid kit with items specific to the season’s hazards.” The following items are recommended for a summer first-aid kit: u Various sized adhesive bandages. u Antiseptic topical spray, antibiotic cream or ointment. u Hydrocortisone cream
to stop inflammation. u Oral antihistamines to stop swelling and itching. u Tweezers and scissors to remove splinters, small rocks or gravel from scrapes, ticks that have attached to the skin or to cut bandages. u Alcohol wipes for disinfecting scrapes and tools (tweezers). u A soft cloth to use as a compress and aloe vera gel or lotion to help relieve sunburn pain. u Analgesics (acetamino-
phen or ibuprofen). u Anti-nausea medication especially if you’re going on long car rides or boats. u Latex-free protective gloves. u Instant cold pack. u Thermometer. u Any prescription drugs you or your family take including an epinephrine auto-injector if you are with people who have severe allergies. For more information, please go to www.drugstorepharmacy.ca.

Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation’s Run for Life shattered all previous records, making 2013 the most successful run in the event’s 10-year history. The fun run, co-hosted by financial institutions on Central Vancouver Island, saw 200 participants and 40 volunteers raise more than $32,000. In the last decade the Run for Life has raised almost $140,000 for healthcare close to home. “Every year we are so impressed by the determination of the runners and their family and friends who support this grassroots fundraiser,” said Greg Scott, run cochairman. “This year there were more teams and more runners out on the course than ever before. It was fantastic. It really makes it all worthwhile and we cannot thank them enough.”

The prize for top pledge-earner went to Mai Pham for the second year in a row with $2,065. The most successful fundraising team was Board for Life, made up of the foundation’s board of directors who collected more than $6,000 in pledges. Heath Law turned out the largest teams, with 18 participants running the course and raising the third largest team amount. Pledges raised during the 2013 event have been directed toward the purchase of equipment for the new emergency department at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. The new space opened to the public in October 2012 and the foundation is on the homestretch to its $4-million goal to outfit the department.

bouquets recently, without our knowledge. You know who you are, and may good things happen to you. An excellent service bouquet to Kerry (the driver who works for AC Taxi) for his kindness in returning promptly to my house my special shopping bag, which I accidentally left in the back seat of his taxi. Great service from an excellent taxi company. A custom-built bouquet to Home Depot for exemplary customer service – an increasingly rare commodity. Your staff are truly amazing. A cool, refreshing thAnks to the person who painted the waterfalls along the parkway. What a visual treat, I have enjoyed them all winter. Too bad they washed away. A refreshing mug of beer to my husband, who trained with me and then stuck with me during a mountain bike race, even though he could have left me in his dust and wasn’t eager to do the race in the first place. What a guy. A bouquet. The Multicultural Festival in the Old City Quarter was nice to see, good music. One suggestion: please put garbage containers out next time to keep the street cleaner.
A big bouquet of clover to the Pacific Gael Pipes and Drums for their fabulous appearance at the Multicultural Festival on Wesley Street. Their parade and performance were one of the highlights of a day that was jampacked with great entertainment. huge thAnk yous to all the Park Avenue Elementary School families, friends, teachers, the principal, volunteers and sponsors for attending the recent fun fair. All proceeds go back to the kids. Gotta love the Harewood community spirit. A speciAl thAnk you to another patient at Island Oral Facial and Implant Surgery who offered me a ride home after my surgery. A bouquet of bAlloons And birdhouses to all of the people and businesses that made the recent Habitat for Humanity event a success. Everyone had a great time and for a great cause. An Artistic bouquet to Sarah at the Nanaimo Arts Council for all her hard work keeping everything going. And congratulations to the artistic achievement bursary winners this year. A bouquet And A beef to young women, who in sunny, warm weather, wear short shorts.
A beef to environmentalists who are always complaining about how people are damaging the environment, but they have no suggestions to correct this – unless it is back to horses and carts. A big stinky beef. I went through a drive-thru at a fast food place in Nanaimo. I usually never go to these places, but was in a hurry that day. After I ate my meal and was drinking my pop, there was a dreadful smell. After finising my pop, I realized it was coming from the lid of the pop. It made me sick realizing I had just consumed something that smelled so foul. A shAme-on-you beef to city council and staff for trying to get a court injunction on the citizens of Nanaimo in regards to the Colliery Dam Park issue. A return beef to the person beefing about being asked if they should have been in a disabled parking stall. I am the elderly man who asked if you had a disabled parking permit. You did not answer my question but pointed at your windshield. Thinking you had not heard me, I repeated my question, which caused you to explode. Still shouting, you stormed into a store. By the way, your permit was taped over. A beef to people who oppose the installation of cell towers in their neighbourhoods, yet complain about how they have no cellphone service. You can’t have it both ways. A beef to a local company. I ordered a glass window two months ago and made several phone calls about it to no avail. A beef to elderly dog owners who are too out of touch to realize that their dogs are poorly trained and badly behaved. A beef to unemployed people who complain about their neighbours making noise at night. It’s not as though you need to wake up early the next morning to go to work.

In Loving Memory of
Bradley George Coulter Born on May 19, 1964 in London, Ontario. Brad was predeceased by his father, George and his mother, Edith; survived by his wife, Lesley; two sons, Gavin and Bryce; his brother, Glen; sister-in-law, Debbie; niece, Ashley; nephew, Wade; and also his mother and father-in-law, Pearl and Wayne Morley. Brad was diagnosed with a rare bone marrow disease and lost his long, hard fought battle on June 6, 2013. Brad was a dedicated Father, Husband, Uncle, Brother and Friend. He had a long list of accomplishments. Brad began his working career as a drywaller with his brother, Glen. He then pursued and achieved his Chef papers which helped him land a position with the BC Ferries, for more than 20 years. His passion was with the Cedar Volunteer Fire Department as a firefighter. Brad's pursuit for helping others led him in the direction of becoming a member of the EMS and working for B.C. Ambulance as a paramedic. Brad embraced all of these positions with dedication and commitment. We, as Brad's surviving family members, would like to tell his many co-workers and friends, Thank you so much for all of the outstanding support Brad received during his very difficult battle. He was truly overwhelmed with the care and support. We would like to thank all of the medical professionals at Vancouver General Hospital, who did their very best to make Brad as comfortable as possible during his stay in Vancouver. A special thank you to the Cedar Volunteer Fire Department for all your help and support. “Brad, you will be truly missed and never forgotten. Love you, Bro.� There will be a service on June 21, 2013 at 2pm at the Cedar Community Hall on Cedar Road, Nanaimo.
