Police in Nanaimo say cellphones are fast becoming the hot item on criminals’ most wanted lists. Since Jan. 1 there have been 122 reported incidents of phones stolen during break and enters or thefts in public places. Of those, seven phones were stolen during robberies. Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman, said police receive weekly reports of phones stolen from lockers, change rooms, cars and at parties. “We estimate the figure is at least 25 per cent higher than what is reported,” O’Brien said. Stolen phones are often sold to drug dealers in exchange for drugs, are used by criminals for personal calls until they are cut off by the service provider, sold online or have their SIM cards removed, so they can be reactivated by service providers. The reported thefts of cellphones are fairly consistent over the past several years, but O’Brien said the frequency of thefts is likely to rise as increasing numbers of cellphones are sold. Most phones are stolen when left unattended, but in some cases, thieves have followed their intended targets, waiting for an opportunity to

snatch a phone while victims are preoccupied texting or searching data. “Criminals are often stalking kids on their phones and they’re looking for that opportunity to take the phone,” O’Brien said. “The kids don’t even know who’s around them in their environment. They’ll put the phone down for a second and, boom, it’s gone.” Sometimes violence is used to snatch the device. In April, Jordan Sunnus, 16, was struck in the face and knocked to the ground when a man tried to take his cellphone. Sunnus applied karate and Brazilian jiu jitsu techniques that thwarted his attacker, but police suggest not putting up a fight during a robbery, since a culprit could prove to be unpredictable and dangerous. Instead hand the phone over, make note of the suspect’s description and report the incident to the police as soon as possible. There are ways to help prevent your phone from being stolen. Police recommend the following: u Never leave your phone unattended. u Look up from time to time and survey your surroundings when texting or surfing. u Have an action plan. If you think you’re being followed, be prepared to remove yourself from the situation. u Have an app installed that tracks your phone if it is lost or stolen. The sooner it is located the better the chance of retrieving it. u See ‘POLICE’ /5

Fire hits Nanaimo home

oWNER NoT at house when blaze ignited Monday. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN

CHRIS BUSH/THe NewS BUlleTIN

Firefighters rush equipment into a home on Rockridge Place to get at a fire that worked its way in to the building’s walls and floors Monday. The cause of the blaze was narrowed down to either a faulty sprinkler system control or the wiring supplying power to it. No one was injured.

Fire struck home Monday when a blaze broke out in a house in north Nanaimo. Nanaimo Fire Rescue was called out shortly after 11 a.m. when neighbours heard a noise and saw smoke coming from a home at 308 Rockridge Pl. in the Hammond Bay/ Oakridge area. Flame was showing and smoke billowing from the back of the house when firefighters arrived. “Stewart, our oldest son, heard some noise – they were sleeping in because they’re out of school – and all of a sudden they were running out of the house,” said Pamela Morrison, a neighbour living next door. “They called 911. I told the boys to run around and bang on the front door and side door to make sure no one was home.” The woman who owns the house is currently out of the province. A male tenant who lives in a downstairs suite was at work

when the fire broke out and there were no reported injuries. Morrison said at one point she and her family were worried that the fire next door could involve their home as well, but firefighters arrived quickly and knocked down the flames. “Thank goodness the boys called because I wouldn’t have even noticed,” Morrison said. “I was doing stuff on the other side of the house.” It took firefighters the better part of 30 minutes to douse the flames and root out hot spots in the building’s structure. Ennis Mond, Nanaimo Fire Rescue fire prevention officer, said the fire appears to have started in a garden sprinkler system control unit or the electrical wiring supplying power to it. The unit, located in the back wall of the home where the fire was first spotted by neighbours, had been set to water the garden on even-numbered days while the homeowner was out of town and would have activated for 10 minutes at about 5 a.m. the morning of the fire. “It was an electrical issue,” Mond said. “The burn patterns indicate it was where the sprinkler control unit used

i told the boys to run around and bang on the front door and side door to make sure no one was home.

to be.” Mond said it was impossible to tell whether the fault lay with the control device or the wiring because the fire had completely destroyed both, leaving nothing that could be tested for faults. The fire then spread into the expanded foam insulation in the interior of the home’s foundation wall and worked its way up into the space between the floor joists between the ground and section floor of the home. “There is heavy smoke damage throughout the house and structural damage to the living room floor,” Mond said. The owner is insured, but Mond said the tenant of the downstairs suite was not. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

breaks in the case. Police believe Lisa Marie met with foul play after she left a house party in the Cathers Lake area at about 3 a.m. June 30, 2002, with a man who drove an older model red Jaguar. The last anyone heard from her was when she phoned a friend at about 4:30 a.m. Police identified the car and the man Young left the party with. He is part of a police list of persons of interest in the case, but in spite of following up every lead, producing Crime Stoppers TV re-enactments and even conducting a full scale search with K-9 units based on information from a psychic, police have, so far, not been able to prove foul play or find

the missing woman’s remains. “The case is active and will remain active until such time it is determined what happened to Lisa Marie,” said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman. “The vigil is important to not only her family and friends, but also to remind the public of her disappearance. “Someone out there knows something and we need to hear from them.” Anyone with information about what happened to Lisa Marie Young is asked to contact Nanaimo RCMP at 250-7542345 or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.nanaimocrimestoppers. com. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

but some businesses and individuals are unwilling or unable to help by putting the posters in windows or passing along information about the missing person case or the vigils. “Sometimes it doesn’t seem to have an effect on people because nothing like that has ever happened in their lives – and thankfully not,” Joanne said. “You wouldn’t want anyone to go through that same anguish because it really is a living nightmare. Every year it’s a struggle to do this. It’s emotional, but I get through that. It’s not about me. It’s not for my husband. It’s about Lisa Marie and hopefully we find some answers one day.” Joanne said police are supportive, but have no reported

Pub:

A Nanaimo mother has been waiting 11 years for her daughter to come home or police to solve the case of her disappearance. Lisa Marie Young, who was 19 when she disappeared, has not been seen since she left a house party in Nanaimo the morning of June 30, 2002. In the inter vening years Joanne Young has fought to keep her daughter’s memory alive with walks, vigils and other public reminders. Sunday (June 30) starting at 11 a.m. at in the Lions Pavilion at Maffeo Sutton Park, people will once again gather for a walk followed by a candlelight vigil.

The walk will follow a route from the park, over the Pearson Bridge on Terminal Avenue and down Stewart Avenue before returning along the Waterfront Promenade to Maffeo Sutton Park for a noon candlelight vigil. About 50 supporters came out for last year’s walk and vigil, which was held at Christ Community Church. Joanne hopes for at least as big a turnout this year. “It’s not about whether anyone knew my daughter or not,” Joanne said. “It’s to promote awareness of being safe. You can walk for your own family.” Joanne has done a lot of walking on her own, putting up posters, promoting the vigil and trying to keep her daughter’s memory alive in the community,

Students attend grad activities

cErEmoNiES, dry grad events happen this week. BY JENN M c GARRIGLE THe NewS BuLLeTIN

More than 900 of Nanaimo school district’s secondary students will dress up in cap and gown and receive their diplomas in the Harbour City this week. Donna Reimer, school district spokeswoman, said 918 students from Cedar, Dover Bay, John Barsby, Nanaimo District, Wellington and Woodlands secondary schools will walk across

the stage, a number similar to last year but expected to drop next year. “Within the next two years, there will be fewer students in Grade 12 and so we would expect the number of graduates to go down,” she said. There are more students receiving diplomas through the district’s learning alternatives programs, but numbers had not been finalized, Reimer added. Graduation ceremonies for the district’s six Nanaimo secondary schools will take place in school gymnasiums and at the Port Theatre on Thursday and Friday. “It really is an uplifting kind of day,” said Reimer.

“You see the students, but also the families and how proud they are.” Then on Friday evening, secondary students from across the district, including private schools, will head to Beban Park for A Night to Remember 2013, the city’s annual all-night dry grad celebration, which features numerous fun activities such as swimming, skating, karaoke, scuba diving and kayak races, as well as music, movies, prizes and tons of food. Reimer said many graduating students have been with the district for the entire 13 years of their public education and it is important

for people in the system to remember the role they played in getting students to this point. “It’s a real school, family, community event because everyone’s shared in supporting these students to be successful,” she said. “It’s just such a major turning point for those young people. “It’s a foundation for their future careers. As a community, we need to celebrate that.” Students finished the year either yesterday or today (June 27), depending on the school, but staff don’t finish until tomorrow (June 28).

ALMANAC

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation is holding a member vote this week, seeking a mandate to reject “government interference” in provincewide bargaining. Outgoing BCTF president Susan Lambert notified 40,000 public school teachers of the vote in a letter sent out Monday, a copy of which was obtained by Black Press. Teachers have until Friday to vote. “We need to send a strong message to government that teachers will not accept a 10-year scheme to lock in another decade of deteriorating conditions,” Lamber t wrote. “The ballot will read: ‘Do you support our bargaining team and their efforts to achieve a negotiated settlement, and oppose any government interference in the bargaining process? Yes or No’.” In December 2012, the union called for “provincial bargaining between the BCTF and government regarding salary, benefits, hours of work, paid leaves, class size, class composition, and staffing levels for specialist teachers.” The B.C. vote follows Monday’s announcement by Education Minister Peter Fassbender that he has asked for a “pause” in bargaining, to appoint a direct government negotiator for province-wide issues with a goal of reaching a 10-year deal.

City to demolish unsafe building By ToBy Gorman The News BulleTiN

The city will demolish a dangerous downtown building after the building’s owner indicated it is not interested in dealing with the issue. The old Bay Theatre at 91 Chapel St. has suffered at least two major roof collapses since early May, leaving the exterior block walls without support. An engineering study deemed the building unsafe in early June, and barricades have been set up around the building to keep pedestrians at a safe distance. The report said the walls could come down even in a strong wind. B.C. Hydro cut power to the building May 8, and council authorized city staff to proceed with a tender for demolition Monday. “It’s a huge concern for all of us and it has resulted in partial closures of some of the streets around it,” said Mayor John Ruttan. Toby Seward, Nanaimo’s director for development, said the city met with representatives of Loft Ministries, the building’s owner, and their engineering consultant, and there has been no indication there is any interest in dealing with the problem.

Police seek suspect in cell theft

u From /1 Your phone should also be set to lock out after a set period of time. Having an app installed that will remotely lock the phone and remove data is also useful. Nanaimo Mounties are also asking for the public’s help to find a man who allegedly stole two smart phones from the Bell Store in Woodgrove Centre April 19. The suspect was caught on security camera taking a BlackBerry Z10 and Apple iPhone 4S then leaving the store.

The suspect is believed to be aboriginal in his early to mid-20s. He has short dark hair and was wearing blue jeans and a dark hoodie with a small logo on the front. Anyone with information about this suspect, please call Const. Joe Furtmann of the Nanaimo RCMP at 250-7542345 or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.nanaimocrimestop pers.com. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

GREAT KITCHEN DESIGNS

The former Bay Theatre at 91 Chapel St. had its roof collapse in May. The city will now demolish the building and send the bill to its owner.

“The cost of the demolition will be put on the taxes of this site if they do not pay it, and eventually it would go to a tax sale, again, if they do not pay it, or there is a potential purchaser out there who may pay out the cost,” said Seward. “But at the end of a three-year period if the taxes are still unpaid then it would go to tax sale.” Council is expected to approve a contract to demolish the building at the next council meeting in July. The owner currently has the building up for private sale in its ‘as is’ condition.

Seward added that city engineers are looking at ways to stabilize the building, but noted that it will likely have to be demolished anyway because of its poor state. Langley-based Loft Ministires purchased the building in 2007 with the intention of using it as a church. According to a city report, it has sat mostly unused since the purchase. Neglect, mold and mildew were cited as reasons for the structural decay. The building was originally built in 1972.

Inaugural WestJet flight is ‘just the beginning’ Company president expects demand for new service to grow

Nanaimo News Bulletin 7

City supports program to improve sex worker safety

By Lise BroadLey

The News BulleTiN

A large crowd was on hand Monday to welcome WestJet Encore’s inaugural flight to Nanaimo Airport. As one of the airline’s new aircraft taxied toward the terminal, local politicians, airport employees and passengers broke into applause. The flight arrived on time from Calgary in what WestJet Encore president Ferio Pugliese hopes is just one of many direct flights from Calgary to Nanaimo. “This is just the beginning,” he said. “Demand has been very good. As time moves on and people get more familiar with it and start to build plans, we think it’s only going to continue to grow.” Nanaimo is one of just two Canadian cities – the other is Fort St. John – to be chosen for the first round of Encore flights. As the carrier acquires more airplanes over the next few years the regional service will expand to other communities across the country. Currently Encore is operating two 78-seat Bombardier Q400 turboprop airplanes but Pugliese said the company has already placed orders for 20 more. They’ll be delivered one by one, roughly once a month, over the next two years and after that Encore has the option to order up to 25 more. “It’s a great aircraft. It’s the next generation; it’s smooth, it’s fast, it’s quiet and it’s very fuel

City council approved a one-time grant of $7,000 Monday to the Nanaimo Women’s Resource Centre to improve the safety of sex trade workers while providing opportunities to exit the profession. In May, city council, staff and RCMP met with a group of social agencies and former sex trade workers from Victoria and Nanaimo to discuss the safety needs and vulnerability of sex trade workers, and it was decided peer-based programming would be the best approach. The Safer Nanaimo Advisory Committee has also been exploring the issue, including how the presence of sex trade workers affect neighbourhoods, and on a provincial level former Attorney General Wally Oppal recently released the B.C. Missing Women Commission of Enquiry, a report aimed at protecting sex trade workers from predatory individuals. The money will come out of revenue generated by Casino Nanaimo. “We started down this path by anticipating former Attorney General Wally Oppal would be making recommendations about how municipalities have an obligation to help protect the lives of women who are in an extremely dangerous line of work,” said Coun. Diane Brennan. “This is just a tiny little baby step, but it is something that we did anticipate.” The women’s resource centre agreed to administer the project and will be responsible for monitoring expenditures and reporting back to Safer Nanaimo.

Travellers from Calgary, Alta., depart the inaugural flight of WestJet’s regional carrier, Encore, at Nanaimo Airport. Nanaimo is one of two cities in B.C. chosen for the new regional carrier.

efficient,” said Pugliese. “The fuel efficiency allows us to move it quickly but also do it in a very affordable fashion.” That affordability is expected to benefit the consumer as WestJet and Air Canada Jazz compete for ticket sales. At the same time, the direct flights to and from central Vancouver Island are expected to boost the local economy, increasing tourism in the area and allowing people to travel easily to work in Alberta. “It’s going to open up all of southern Alberta as well as Edmonton to the Nanaimo market. We saw what happened in Comox when WestJet came in there and we’re expecting the same type of economic stimulus with these direct flights,” said Russ Burke, chairman of

the Nanaimo Airport Commission. “It’s also going to make air travel a little bit cheaper because we see competition on the route.” A 30-person trade mission led by Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation and Nanaimo Mayor John Ruttan was scuttled after major flooding overtook the City of Calgary. Three people from economic development went to the Alberta city as a goodwill gesture. The plan to introduce a regional carrier to Nanaimo Airport has been in the works for about 10 years. In addition to removing trees and extending the runway, the airport has also installed an instrument landing system to make the facility more attractive to carriers. On Monday, passengers were

all smiles as they took advantage of the new service. “I think it’s just terrific,” said Crofton passenger Pat O’Brien as he waited to board. “I’m really pleased to be able to fly directly to Calgary from here. It saves a lot of time but the convenience of it is the most significant feature for me.” WestJet Encore depar ts Nanaimo for Calgary daily at 12:30 p.m. For more information, please visit www.westjet.com/guest/ en/help/encore.shtml. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

City approves borrowing plan for water treatment facility Nanaimo city council approved $13.3 million in borrowing from the Municipal Finance Authority of British Columbia for 2013 as the first part of long-term borrowing to

pay for the $65-million water treatment facility. The second phase of borrowing will include a $9.2-million loan in 2014 to, according to a city report, help spread out

the impact on water user rates when the repayments begin. The loan rate will be set when the transaction takes place in October, but is estimated to be about 3.2 per cent with an amor-

tization period of 20 years. The balance of the facility will be paid through federal and provincial grants, development cost charges and water user fees.

EDITORIAL

Steep slope push a puzzler A day after several Calgary neighbourhoods and its downtown was swamped in the overflow of the Bow and Elbow rivers, it was revealed that a 2006 report called for the end of land sales in known flood risk areas. Despite the report, developers continued to develop flood plains and the city continued to issue permits despite the known, even likely, risks. Hindsight is a beautiful thing, but even better is using the information you have to protect citizens and their property to avoid such disasters. It’s called forward thinking. We can use some of that in Nanaimo. In the city’s Official Community Plan, section 5.4 states “conventional detached dwelling and duplex developments are typically too site disruptive on steep slopes for the densities they achieve ... For this reason, the city encourages housing forms that cluster or concentrate development ...” The purpose, says the OCP, is to “protect the natural character of hillsides.” We will forget for a moment the effort to protect the natural character of hillsides has been feeble at best – lovely arbutusstrewn bluffs in the city are being literally blasted away at an alarming rate. What is more alarming, however, is the push to densely populate steep slopes as available flat land becomes scarce. The issue of citizen safety has come up over and over during the debate over the removal of the Colliery dams. The city has repeatedly stated risk mitigation is staff’s No. 1 issue. So why, then, are we encouraging steep slope development where people are expected to live in dense clusters when we know an earthquake, or an extreme precipitation event, poses a threat to human life? If a quake can bring down the dams, surely it will send houses and condos tumbling down unstable hillsides as well. We have an opportunity to learn from Alberta’s misfortune and apply that knowledge to our own environment. All we need is some forward thinking.

Oakes has to figure out how to “better provide provincial support” to sport and cultural organizations, but do it with no new money.

New Minister of International Trade, Richmond’s Teresa Wat, has to find a way to continue the growth of lumber and other exports to China, India and elsewhere on the Pacific Rim. On top of that, the always-delicate softwood lumber agreement with the U.S. expires in three years. The last major eruption on that front was in 2009, when B.C. cut stumpage rates for remote coastal areas to give communities much-needed employment. The Americans were livid, just as they were with our beetle-kill harvesting efforts. And of course, the U.S.-directed environmental movement continues to target Canadian industries. Third-term MLA John Rustad gets aboriginal relations, with specific instructions to deal with gas and perhaps oil pipelines through his Nechako Lakes constituency. u Tom Fletcher is a legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com.

Disconnect grows over Colliery dams To the Editor,

Re: City identifies area for Colliery Dam Park closure, June 25. There will be demolition viewing areas. There will be areas to protest. The idea that our community will be allowed areas that will be city-sanctioned for viewing and protesting is absurd. Is this the city’s idea of community inclusion in the decision? Doing due diligence? If there is a sincere desire for community inclusion, ask us what we want, don’t tell us what you want us to do. This would be truly representing our community. I still shake my head that, after presenting a wealth of information regarding why keeping the dams this summer is the best option, considering safety, cost, environmental impact and avoiding major disruption of the park, removal of the dams is steam rolling ahead. All I can say is

NEWS BULLETIN fILE

City council asking what residents wants rather than telling them what the city wants them to do would go a long way in solving issues surrounding the dams at Colliery Dam Park, says letter writer.

there is a major and destructive disconnect between our community and its elected representatives. We will keep fighting to be properly and sincerely represented. Our fight to keep our dams is a fight for democracy. This is far bigger

than keeping lakes in our park. If anyone thinks they are not involved, and that it doesn’t matter if the dams are there or not, think again. These dams represent democracy. If the Colliery dams are removed this summer it is because democracy has died

in Nanaimo.

Council critics can’t speak for all To the Editor,

Re: Force the answer when sense fails, Letters, June 22. How insulting. Donna Carlson assumes her com-

mon sense is what the public wants. Not this public. Certainly not the majority of the council and probably not the majority of Nanaimoites. It’s disturbing to think whenever a decision is made by an elected body that does not agree with the wants of a portion of the population, then it’s wrong and needs to be changed. Not just this one, but school board decisions, water and hydro decisions, etc. As a democracy that elects officials to make tough decisions, we made our decisions on election day. We can’t have new elections every year, so live with it and work to make the changes for the next election. Lastly, anarchism is never a long-term solution. Ignoring the law or thumbing one’s nose at it is just what turns most people off.

Harper detractors have no better alternative To the Editor,

Re: Tories’ relief evident, Letters, June 22. Obviously the latest senate scandal is making it easy for anyone to rant negatively about all federal Conservatives. But, while gleefully dancing because of Conservative misfortunes, why do the Stephen Harper haters not sing the praises of whoever they think might provide a better alternative? Would these ranters prefer to have the country led by a drama queen whose only claim to fame is the surname Trudeau? I’ve read

that for $20,000 he’ll slip out of Parliament and give you a speech that proves he’s a master of the obvious. Or should that be oblivious? Or how about Tom Mulcair who ostentatiously flaunts his lawyerly skills by pretending to be the prosecutor during question periods? Would terrible Tom, with his anti-western Quebec caucus and the unions he’s beholden to, provide democratic leadership? Our federal political system may be headed down the road to perdition, but it could still be fun to debate

the merits/demerits of all party leaders rather than simply kicking one party because they happen to be down.

Island ride raises money for MS Black Press

David Cox will take a months-long twowheeled journey cycling the Island tip to tip to tip in a bid to end multiple sclerosis. The 68-year-old will ride to Port Hardy and back for the End

his 19th year of MS bike rides. “I’m going to raise money – that’s gravy,” he said. “It keeps the whole concept that this disease does not have a cure and make people aware of it.” When he retired to B.C. in 2005, Cox continued to ride fundraisers and raise awareness, spending three years on the board for the MS Society’s South and Central Island chapter. In 2009, he started the Island-wide ride that became bi-annual after an injury in 2010. The idea is to put his own “blood, sweat and tears” into the effort. “There’s a lot of competing charities out there looking for dollars,” he said. So Cox packed his 40 pounds of baggage on his 28-pound bike and headed out of Colwood to make his way to Port Hardy and

The primary

goal is awareness and respect, he feels is lacking in day-to-day life, illustrated by a visit to his niece Leslie a few months ago. He’s nearing his current fundraising goal of $3,000. “If it looks like it will be exceeded, I bump it up again,” he said. “Seems better to have an objective that is harder to obtain than one that is easily

exceeded.” Cox rides through Nanaimo on Friday (June 28) on his way to the Nanoose Creek Campground that night. To donate visit www. msbiketours.ca and use the “find a cyclist or team” option. Visit endMS.ca or MSbiketours.ca for more about the cause and fundraisers. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

Gravity, volunteers work wonders on Rotary golf ball drop Nearly two dozen local community groups have more money to do charitable work thanks to the Rotary Club of Lantzville’s annual golf tournament and golf ball drop. More than $30,000 was raised at the June 7 event at Fairwinds Golf Club in Nanoose, money that goes to more than 20 local

organizations and programs providing services and supports for area residents, including Nanaimo Child Development Centre and PacificSport Vancouver Island. In addition to supporting community groups, Lantzville Rotary and Franklin Templeton Investments each made $2,500

donations to the B.C. Cancer Foundation. The event was made possible by the work of many volunteers, as well as sponsors, the golfers and the support of Fairwinds Golf Club. “After another successful year, we’re looking forward to working with the many good-hearted

people supporting so many worthy causes in the Nanaimo area,” said Joy Cameron, Lantzville Rotary’s president. “I’m humbled by the generous nature of our citizens, and by the work ethic of my club members.” For more information on Rotary’s services, please go to www. lantzvillerotary.com.

Sewing machines needed for Haiti

Since 2009, Andra Thakur has sought sewing machines for the Nanaimo Sewing School in Guyana. The response from the Nanaimo-Parksville community has b e e n t re m e n d o u s with hundreds of the machines collected and shipped to South America. The school has already conducted three classes in Guyana – the first in 20092010, the second in 2010-2011 and third from August to December 2011. More than 70 young men and women received lifeskills and workskills. “The acquisition of a skill such as tailoring can create life opportunities, particularly where many do not have the means to meet their basic needs of home, food and clothing,” said Thakur, a retired professor of anthropology at Vancouver Island University. “In a country where school uniforms are mandatory, tailoring and sewing machine skills

are a viable means of employment.” Students acquire the skills to measure, cut and sew school uniforms, and maintain their sewing machines. On graduation they receive a sewing machine. A sewing school is planned for Haiti for September to November 2013, sponsored by the Caribbean/ American Domestic

Violence Awareness, Life-Line Mission Group, North Nanaimo Rotar y Club and Rotary Club of South Cowichan. While Thakur has acquired many sewing machines thanks to the generous donations from people on Vancouver Island, he needs 10 more to meet the needs for the upcoming school in Haiti.

Anyone wishing to donate a sewing machine to the school is asked to contact Thakur at 250-933-5563 or Joyce Morrison at 250-248-5914. To s e r v i c e t h e machines and get them ready for shipping – as well as the time required for actual shipping – machines in good working order are needed as soon as possible.

The Junior Archaeologist program was a surprise hit at the museum during spring break and will be offered again Thursdays in July and August from 1-3 p.m. The activities include using sifting screens to find artifacts in soil, recreating broken pottery jars and touching First Nations artifacts from the museum’s education collection. The Nanaimo Museum is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily until Labour Day weekend. Admission is $2 for adults, $1.75 for seniors/students and 75 cents for children.

Kids get history lesson Writing with quill pens and sifting for ancient artifacts will help keep children entertained during summer vacation. The Nanaimo Museum is hosting two weekly drop-in programs for children, Quill Pens & Ink Wells and Junior Archaeologist. The hands-on activities appeal to children ages five to 12 years and the cost is included in museum admission. They’re designed for children to participate along with their parents, grandparents or caregivers. “These programs are a great way for parents and grandparents to help children learn about history,” said Aimee Greenaway, the museum’s program coordinator. The activities are offered on an ongoing basis during the programs and take approximately one hour for children to complete. Registration is not required. Caregivers must supervise children at all times during activities. The Quill Pens & Ink Wells program takes place Tuesdays in July

Provincial SPCA’s standards results in accreditation status The B.C. Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is among the elite group of Canadian organizations to be accredited by Imagine Canada, the national umbrella for charities and non-profits.

The SPCA received accreditation status through Imagine Canada’s standards program, a Canada-wide set of shared standards for charities and non-profits designed to demonstrate compliance in five funda-

mental areas – financial accountability and transparency, board governance, fundraising, staff management and volunteer involvement. Only 45 charitable organizations in the country hold Imagine Canada

accreditation status and the SPCA is the first humane society to be accredited. Craig Daniell, chief executive officer for the SPCA, said the society’s board of directors, staff and volunteers are com-

mitted to upholding the highest standards in its policies and programs. “The B.C. SPCA is able to help nearly 29,000 abused, injured and homeless animals every year through the generosity of individuals, busi-

nesses, foundations and others in the community who support our work,” he said. “It is extremely important to us to be able to demonstrate that these donations are being stewarded as effectively as possible.”

SCHOOL’S OUT…

When School is out...

DRIVE CAREFULLY!

The final bell of the school year has rung, so the neighbourhood children are all over the place. They’ll be going to the park. Riding their bikes. Flying kites. And, they’ll inevitably b e running into the street or a parking lot to retrieve a stray ball. When you’re behind the wheel, especially during the summer, please keep a watchful eye out for children who may not be thinking of anything beyond the game of the moment. They may not realize it, but their lives may depend on your ability to stop in time.

The Nanaimo Art Gallery envisions an outstanding cultural destination in the heart of downtown. The organization wants to embark on a threephase plan to amalgamate both the campus and downtown location and expand services, such as outreach and education programs in the building it now occupies with renovations. During Monday night’s council meeting, council supported in principle the recommendation for phased development and

directed staff to create a management agreement with the Nanaimo Art Gallery for council’s consideration at an upcoming meeting. “I think it’s a great fit for the community and I whole heartily support it,” said Mayor John Ruttan. Julie Bevan, executive and artistic director of the gallery, said the art gallery is a focal point for visual arts in the community and its purpose is to enrich the lives of residents and visitors. “The impact we have in the community is significant,” said Bevan, adding the Nanaimo art gallery is

Phase 2, slated for 201617, calls for renovating and upgrading both floors and amalgamating the campus and downtown location exhibits and programs to the 150 Commercial St. location. It would require the relocation of current tenants, which raised some concerns among council members. Phase 3 would create new space in the existing building in 2020 to include activities such as hosting national exhibits and ensuring there is adequate

space and climate controls for existing permanent collection items. The gallery is also asking for an additional $30,000 operating grant and a onetime grant of $50,000. Last year the gallery hosted 17 exhibitions, had about 200 artists involved in various programs, helped educate 12,500 students through the Artists in the Schools program, had 23,000 visitors and paid more than 45,000 to artists through sales and the art rental program F o r m o re i n f o r m a tion please go to www. nanaimo.ca and click on the council agendas tab.

Timbermen back in hunt after victories BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

BY GREG SAKAKI

For Nanaimo’s trampolinists, things are looking up. And up. And up again. Three local youths won gold at this month’s Western Canada Cup trampoline and tumbling championships at Port Moody. Abbi Richardson and Chamberlan Teghtmeyer both won Western championships in Level 2 double mini trampoline, Emily Mould won gold in Level 3 tumbling and Richardson took a silver in tumbling. “We represented Nanaimo so well,” said Mould. Trampoline and tumbling have some things in common with other kinds of gymnastics, but they require some specialized training. Mould only recently took up the discipline so she could help the Nanaimo Gymnastics School field a team for provincials. “I thought maybe I knew [what to expect], but it’s not the same; it’s so much different,” she said. A tumbling line covers a longer distance than a diagonal of a floor routine, and it requires a springier surface.

Nanaimo News Bulletin B1

Lacrosse season has taken a turn for the better. The Nanaimo Coastal Windows Timbermen find themselves back in playoff contention in the Western Lacrosse Association after back-to-back wins. The T-men scored a rare victory at Queen’s Park Arena over the New Westminster Salmonbellies last Thursday, then followed that up with another win over the ’Bellies, the first homefloor win for Nanaimo this season. “Those wins are huge for us,” said Graham Palmer, team captain. “It brings our confidence level way up, right back to where it should be.” The T-men (4-7) are still last in the WLA, but they’re only two points out of fourth place and they’ve won a couple of season series that could have tie-breaking implications. “We’re still a long ways,” said Kaleb Toth, coach of the T-men. “We’ve still got to win a few more games and hopefully teams lose that we need them to lose.” Palmer said it’s “really exciting” to be back in playoff contention. “We blew [two] or three games this year and we should already be in the hunt, we feel,” he said. “It’s nice to get the points and be in the mix of things but we’ve always felt like we should be here and we should have a spot in the playoffs.” GAME ON … The Timbermen host the Victoria Shamrocks (7-3) on Saturday (June 29) at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena.

Inbrief

Results decided in just seconds flat u From /B1

Gymnasts used to incorporating three ‘skills’ into a floor routine line might have to get eight into a tumbling line. The format of a trampoline and tumbling – T and T – competition is an adjustment, too. “It’s about three seconds and then you’re done, and then you have to wait,” Mould said. Megan Conway, coach

The News BulleTiN

Emily Mould, Abbi Richardson and Chamberlan Teghtmeyer are gold medallists following the Western Canada Cup trampoline and tumbling championship earlier this month.

Although it’s commonly accepted that oil and antifreeze are

at Nanaimo Gymnastics School, said the club added T and T to make its programming more flexible. “We added it to give another option,” she said. “Especially to our boys – the artistic boys’ program requires a lot of training … whereas trampoline and tumbling they can do quite well with between six and 12 hours a week. So it gives them options

if they want to do other sports.” And the boys and girls who take to the trampoline and tumbling have a chance to excel, as the club proved at Westerns. “They’re liking it because they get to do both sports at the same time,” Conway said. “They’re having a little bit more success and they’re happy and positive and enjoying it.” sports@nanaimobulletin.com

BCUOMA is a not-for-profit organization that encourages British Columbians to responsibly recycle used oil, oil filters, oil containers, used antifreeze and antifreeze containers. Since the launch of the program in 2003, British Columbians have done an exceptional job of recycling their used oil materials.

Nanaimo Gymnastics School athletes were among the very best on Vancouver Island. The club had a contingent at the zone championships at Port Alberni June 8-9. Sierra Schuler had the club’s best showing, finishing first all-around in her Level 2 argo division. She finished first on the bars, beam and floor. Alyssa Schan won the Island title on the bars in Level 2 open, Shaylynn Campbell was first on the beam in Level 1 novice and Harmony Regan placed first for her floor routine in Level 1 argo. Regan was also third on the beam en route to an all-around third place. Schan was third all-around, as well. Ashleigh O’Donnell came third on the vault in Level 2 open and Summer Simpson was third on the bars, beam and floor as she placed third in Level 2 argo. Nanaimo’s Flipside Gymnastics Club also had a team at Islands. Adin Brenner won the Island championship for Level 4 boys and nine other Flipside athletes also medalled.

Juniors will build on first win BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN

It was a long time coming, but the junior A Timbermen finally got rewarded for their efforts. N a n a i m o ’s B . C . Junior A Lacrosse League team earned its first win of the season on Sunday, an 18-12 road victory over the Burnaby Lakers. The T-men (2-13) won their only other game by default. “Just to get that win, no matter how we got it, we walked off the floor and we earned those two points and that’s a big thing,” said Brad Dougan, the team’s coach. He said the win was important, especially for returning veterans from last year who ended 2012 on a losing streak and had gone more than a cal-

endar year between wins. But despite the losses, the Timbermen believed they were close. “All year ever yone’s believed in themselves…” said Dougan. “We’ve had a lot of one- and twogoal games. Everyone knows we’re right there.” Brett Fleming, T-men captain, said his team knew it was better than the Lakers. “And we followed through and played really well,” he said. “The effort level was there.” Even at this too-late stage of the year, the win was a meaningful

stand the situation and intend to make the most of the rest of lacrosse season. “At this point we’re a little bit hooped in terms of playoffs, but it’s pride now,” Fleming said. “We’ve got to go in with the mindset that if we can end the year with some sort of a winning streak then we can bring that into next season.” GAME ON … The junior A T-men visit the Port Coquitlam Saints on Saturday (June 22) and the New Westminster Salmonbellies on Sunday. Nanaimo’s only remaining home game is July 6 against the Burnaby Lakers. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Big swim meet will fill up pool

High jumper second best at national championships Mike Mason of Nanoose Bay won a silver medal in the high jump at the Canadian championships on Saturday in Moncton, N.B. Mason cleared 2.28 metres, just three centimetres shy of gold medallist Derek Drouin, the Canadian record holder. Drouin and Mason engaged in a memorable high jump competition at last summer’s Summer Olympics in London. Both Canadians were among a group of six whose best height was 2.29m. The ones who cleared that bar on their first attempt won bronze, but Mason needed three tries, and finished eighth. Mason’s effort in Moncton assured him of selection to the national team which will travel to Moscow in August for the world championships.

HUNDREDS WILL race at Bowen Park.

The pool is packed at this time every year. The Nanaimo White Rapids summer swim club hosts its annual invitational meet at Bowen Park’s Kin Pool starting Friday (June 28). Some 350 athletes will take part, including over 100 from the Nanaimo club. “We try to make it a real fun experience over the course of the weekend,” said Gareth Saunders, coach of the White Rapids. “So we do a lot of team cheers, face paint … All their parents, all their friends come down and it’s a great atmosphere.” Clubs from up and d o w n Va n c o u v e r Island are taking part,

as well as a North Shore Winter Club team that is expected to be highly competitive. The visiting swimmers and their families will enjoy themselves, said Russ Der, White Rapids president. “Bowen Park is probably Nanaimo’s hidden treasure,” he said. “It’s such a wonderful place to be with all the different things – the salmon stream and amphitheatre, the trails. The setting is fantastic.” There are likely to be some fast swims. Several White Rapids are in the midst of standout seasons including Hayley Price, Ellen Taekema, Riley Prout-Holm, Chris Yates and Owen Simpson. “This is one of our major meets that we kind of key on and try to get swimmers swimming well at,” Saunders said.

The Nanaimo Acme Timbermen were stymied by the Tri-City Bandits. The five-time defending champions of the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association defeated the senior B T-men 14-10 on Saturday night at the Nanaimo Ice Centre. The Acme Painting Timbermen (8-2) had won five in a row

going into Saturday’s game, but were held scoreless in the first period and couldn’t get back in it after that. Ryan Forslund and Blair Pinnock both scored hat tricks in the loss. GAME ON … The Acme Timbermen don’t play again until a July 6 rematch against the Bandits (7-3) in Port Coquitlam. Next home action is July 7 against the Ladner Pioneers (7-1). That game will be at Frank Crane Arena, not at the NIC.

Frequently Asked Question #1: Why Do Hearing Aids Cost So Much? SOUND ADVICE

Luigi Calvori, M.Sc.,

RAUD, RHIP, Registered Audiologist, Hearing Instrument Practitioner Registered with the College of Speech & Hearing Professionals of BC

am asked this question on a regular basis in my clinic. People ask why hearing aids cost so much compared to other electronic devices. The sense I have is that many consumers believe there is a conspiracy among hearing aid clinics to set hearing aid prices very high to ensure that Audiologists and Hearing Aid Practitioners can become fabulously wealthy. I hope to clear up that misconception. I’m going to answer this question with a couple of stories. The fi rst story is that of a cell phone purchase. The last time I got a new cell phone was about 3 years ago. It took 30-45 minutes to complete the transaction. Less than 30 minutes of that

time was spent with a salesperson. Our interaction required a few square feet of desk space. The salesperson, although knowledgeable about his product, did not require any formal training. The second story regards the sale of a pair of hearing aids. I recently completed a sale with a client. It took about 5 hours of clinic time to bring the sale to completion. In that time I conducted an extensive hearing test. The hearing test was conducted inside a $20,000 soundtreated room, using $20,000 of test equipment. We then discussed which hearing aids to order. I took impressions of the client’s ears; the hearing aids were custom-made to fit his ears; we spent an hour of time fitting the hearing aids which requires the use of a computer and a $10,000 piece of test equipment. I then saw him for 2 follow-up appointments, after which we decided to try a different pair of hearing aids. We then had two further follow-up appointments. We were then both satisfied with our results and closed the sale. Let’s now review this procedure. during our time together we: • Spent about 5 hours together • Accessed my specialized equipment costing over $50,000 • Made thorough use of the 7 years I trained to become an audiologist

Now that he has purchased hearing aids from me, I will see him for complimentary periodic reviews/ adjustments over the next several years. He will also have access to our front desk services for periodic cleaning of the hearing aids. These two scenarios illustrate two very different processes: the sale of a cell phone required about 30 minutes, and no specialized equipment or formal training. The sale of a hearing aid required several hours of time at the time of sale, and will continue to require clinic time over the life of the product. Have a look at the pie chart on the right, posted recently on CBC’s website. In my experience, this pie chart is reasonably accurate. If anything, the estimated profit is a bit high given today’s competitive market. You may notice that the manufacturer’s cost for research is quite high compared to other electronic devices. This is due to the fact that the volume of hearing aids sold around the world in a year is minuscule compared to other electronic devices such as computers or cell phones. I hope this clears up some misconceptions regarding hearing aid costs. I would love to be fabulously

You and your staff are the best.

a SYMpaThETic BOUQUET Of nEw BikE parTS to a cyclist near Brooks Landing. As I was driving by slowly, I saw your bicycle underneath a vehicle.

an OvErdUE BOUQUET Of rEd rOSES to the gal who came to vote early in the morning on election day at Rutherford Elementary School. This wonderful woman voted, left and then returned with coffee for my partner and I. So kind and considerate. You made our day. a clEan and TidY Thank YOU to Nanaimo’s public works department. They promptly removed the garbage someone dumped at the end of my alley near the old Dufferin Crescent school site. Now I can get in and out of my garage again. a GlOriOUS BOUQUET to members of the Nanaimo RCMP, who have been kind, helpful and supportive any time I have needed them. You are the best. a BOUQUET to Classic Appliance Repair. Great service: fast, efficient, friendly, affordable. Much appreciated. Fridge is cold, oven works.

a Man-Up BEEf to the guy who ran over a dog in Harewood and left students to do what he should have – take care of the body, find the owners and deal responsibly with a sad situation. A beautiful bouquet to the students who witnessed the accident. A sad, sad event on your last day of school, but we are proud of your maturity and resourcefulness. a larGE BEEf to a federal government call centre service. When one of their agents leaves a message for you to call them, it can take an entire week to get through on the 1-800 number that they leave you for your return call. Apparently they are “Experiencing higher than normal call volumes and cannot connect your call at this time.” And here I thought that they worked for me. a BEEf to the owners of the rottweiler pounding up the stairs behind me at Invermere Road beach access Wednesday morning. The beach is off-leash, not the stairs. a BEEf to the guy driving the small black car in the passing lane doing 60 km/hr and not the 90 km/hr posted speed limit between Ladysmith and Nanaimo. I can understand why everyone tried to pass you and don’t appreciate the rock that hit my windshield and cost me a $300 deductible for a new window on my small pension. Drive in the slow lane, please. a BEEf to the weather for not being warm and sunny all of the time, allowing young women to always wear shorts. a BEEf about the parking ticket I received near the Rotary Bowl while participating in the Relay for Life. We were there raising money for something important and were doled out fines for parking on the gravel. I hope the company donates the money collected to the Canadian Cancer Society. a BEEf to GMO protestors. I had a fist-sized strawberry the other day and it was sweet and delicious and fist-sized.

a BOUQUET Of rOSES and ThankS to Lifeline for the free strawberry tea for clients and friends, followed by music. a caUGhT-in-Traffic BEEf to those sporting the bumper stickers “Proud Parent of an Honour Student” for pathetically trying to score points off the successes of their children. What have YOU done lately?

One of his first jobs was working for the government on the weather ship the â€œStone Town.â€?

He retired from the Branch as the Assistant Chief Boiler Inspector for BC.

Geraldine Donnelly (Mulberry) September 20, 1932 – June 15, 2013 Passed away peacefully in her 81st year at Stanford Care Campus in Parksville, B.C.with family by her side. Born in Revelsoke BC to Gerald and Jeanne (Geater) Mulberry. She was the younger of two girls. She grew up in Penticton with Sue, her older sister until after the war. Geraldine and Sue were joined later by three half-sisters, Judy, Joanne and Helen. After growing up in Penticton, Geraldine moved to Vancouver to attend Nursing training. It was there that she met and married Harold Donnelly. They then began a life-long love affair that included seven children and a lifetime of caring and nurturing. For many years they lived in rural Fraser Valley with some time in Churchill Manitoba during Harold’s Navy service. Since the early 70’s Gabriola Island was their home where they built a beautiful place to live and enjoy life. Island adventures included helping neighbours, gardening, fishing, boating, log salvaging and many large family gatherings. Providing a loving healthy home for the family was a priority for Geraldine. She grew gardens to feed the family and kept the children’s hands busy, growing, harvesting and canning. Cooking was something she loved to do, good food and having plenty for her large family was a joy to her. Her passion was raising a family that was compassionate, caring and wasn’t afraid of work. She taught independence and teamwork, important values that have shaped the lives of her children and her children’s children. For Geraldine, life was an adventure built on imagination, warmth, laughter and insight. Those of us who knew her loved her and will continue to hold her close to our heart. She will be missed. Geraldine was very thankful and appreciative of the excellent care and friendship of the staff of Stanford Care Campus in Parksville during the last two years. They ensured her time there was enjoyable and restful. The entire family joins her in expressing our sincere thanks for your warm, thoughtful and professional care. Geraldine is survived by her three half-sisters, Judy, Joanne and Helen and by her loving and devoted children Cindy (Bob), Harold (Peggy), Jim (Linda), Mike (Pam), Missy (Ken), Mary Jane, Guy (Christine) and her grandchildren, Shelley, Gerry Ellen, Laurie, Chris, Jordon, Aaron, Cleary, Nick, Marissa, Eric, Alex and Danielle and her nine great grandchildren. A family service was held on Sunday June 23rd.
