City considers options for aging wood trestle

STRUCTURE ONLY point of access for cruise ship terminal. BY TOBY GORMAN THE NEWS BULLETIN

An aging trestle that connects Nanaimo’s downtown to industrial lands recently purchased by the city will likely have to be closed in 2016 according to a report, leaving officials to determine if it should be rebuilt or find another access point. In March the city acquired 10.8 hectares of land at 1 Port Dr. for $3.4 million to turn the industrial site into a better use, likely a transportation hub, in partnership with the Regional District of Nanaimo. Both organizations signed a memorandum of understanding on the project in May, and a concept plan for the property is currently underway. The trestle has already undergone $103,000 in repairs – cost sharing is being considered by the Nanaimo Port Authority – and an engineering firm estimates it will cost an additional $30,000 to $45,000 annually to maintain the wooden structure until 2016. The 100-metre viaduct, estimated to be between 60 and 80 years old, is the only point of access connecting Esplanade Street to the Nanaimo Port Authority’s assembly wharf and cruise ship terminal.

According to the report, a statutory right of way agreement does not mention who is responsible for the repairs, but under common law the city has no legal obligation to the port to repair or replace the trestle. Under the Occupiers Liability Act, however, the city is responsible for ensuring those who use the trestle are safe and aware of its current state. O n M o n d a y, c o u n c i l directed city staff to pursue options for future access to the site. “If we don’t have to use that wooden trestle we can just get rid of it totally and use a road that would be way better but we’ll see what staff comes back with,” said Coun. Ted Greves. One option being considered is a new flat road access from Front Street, and Herold Engineering Ltd., which has been assessing the trestle since 1998, indicated three replacement options ranging in price from $3.7 million to $5 million. Nanaimo Mayor John Ruttan said the complexity of the property due to different ownerships, right of ways and leases make it an onerous task. “The big issue is the existing leases on the property and the rail and so forth so it does create a challenge but the motion will look at these different things,” he said. Staff is expected to bring forward options to council at a future council meeting. reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

Prison inmates hospitalized By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN

Seven inmates from Nanaimo Correctional Centre were sent to hospital after taking what they thought was an illegal drug, but which turned out to be a much more harmful substance. B.C. Corrections confirmed the incident happened June 13, but said the other details surrounding it, including what substances were involved, are still being confirmed. All but one of the inmates were released from Nanaimo Regional General Hospital and returned to custody. The inmate who remained behind for further treatment was expected to be released by Friday, said Marnie Mayhew, B.C. Corrections director in an e-mail to the News Bulletin. Mayhew said she was unable

to provide details due to privacy issues, but went on to say B.C. Corrections did not know what substance was ingested or how it was obtained. “It is unknown at this time what substance the inmates ingested and that is something we are investigating,” she said. “Despite available supports and strict protocols, people with addictions will take extraordinary measures in an attempt to become intoxicated. B.C. Corrections will look at ways to reduce the likelihood of this happening again. While we have not completed our investigation, so far we have determined illegal contraband was not a factor. Any further details will not be released pending the final outcome of looking into the circumstances of this matter.” photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Dragon boats head for deep water

ANNUAL FESTIVAL attracts 72 teams from across the province for three days of racing. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN

Organizers have come up with a few changes for the 2013 Save-On-Foods Nanaimo Dragon Boat Festival. The festival, which runs Friday through Sunday (July 4-7) and has become one of Nanaimo’s premier summer events, is going out of its depth this year by moving the course into deeper water. That’s a good thing since 72 teams are coming out to compete this year, one of the biggest turnouts ever with more than half of the teams coming from off-Island. “One of the things

we’ve done is move the race course out into deeper water,” said Heiko Behn, Nanaimo Dragon Boat Festival Society chairman. “Last year some of the boats that were close to the shore were actually pushing sand. You could walk faster than they were paddling, We thank the Port of Nanaimo for allowing us to do that because they’re the ones who set up the course for us.” This year’s opening ceremonies have been moved too, from Friday to Saturday to allow more people – especially the participating teams – to attend. Opening ceremonies and blessings will also be con-

ducted by Snuneymuxw First Nation. “This year we’re actually doing it right at low tide, which also helps a little bit and, more importantly, it’s an opportunity for 1,800 passengers to see the First Nations blessing of the water, the boat and they actually will be doing a dotting of the eye ceremony at noon,” Behn said. To draw more people out, crafters who normally sell at the Nanaimo Downtown Farmers’ Market have been invited to Maffeo Sutton Park to be part of the festivities. The Parksville/ Qualicum Shriners will also be cooking pancake breakfasts Saturday and Sunday and Holly Bright with the Crimson Coast Dance Society will bring to life the festival’s theme for 2013,

‘So you think you can dance.’ Snuneymuxw Dance Group will open festivities Thursday night with a celebration of First Nations dance. Of course the driving force behind the dragon boat festival is the fight against breast cancer. Net proceeds from the festival support Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation to improve the diagnostic and treatment process for breast cancer patients. The Paddlers and Survivors Party – not open to the general public – happens Friday evening followed by the Candles of Courage ceremony at Swy-a-lana Lagoon. “We mustn’t forget the fact that all of the net proceeds from this got to Nanaimo Hospital Foundation and Nanaimo Hospice and we couldn’t do it without all of our sponsors,” Behn said. Behn said the festival, which is also the qualifying event for 2013 Dragon Boat Nationals in Victoria, is expected to draw more than 10,000 people to Maffeo Sutton Park over the weekend.

Japan and Canada join forces for training Soldiers visiting Canadian Forces Maritime Experimental Test Range in Nanoose Bay train with allies on how to seek and destory potential underwater threats By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN

aval aviators from Japan’s Maritime Self Defence Force paid a visit to Canadian Forces Maritime Experimental and Test Ranges Wednesday for a first-hand look at where and how Canadian and U.S. military forces train to seek and destroy potential underwater threats. The skies and waters of the torpedo test range off Nanoose known as Military Exercise Area Whisky Gulf was a busy patch of the Georgia Straight as five aircraft operating from CFB Comox and at least as many surface vessels from CFMETR worked together to launch training torpedo attacks against a Mk-30 remotely controlled underwater target. Japanese observers from VP-2, a P-3C Orion antisubmarine squadron, watched, were given a tour of the facilities and oriented with the Mk-30 target and Mk-46 training tor-

pedo before they were taken to the Range Operations Control Centre on Winchelsea Island to watch a Canadian Armed Forces Aurora aircraft track and drop a MK-46 torpedo on the target. That exercise was followed up with a second torpedo “attack” by a Canadian Forces Sea King helicopter. VP-2 Squadron’s P-3C Orion didn’t drop any training torpedoes, its aircrew flew the range by following the Aurora’s flight pattern, and at a higher altitude its crew also watched the performance of the training torpedoes from the aircraft’s onboard monitoring system.

The P-3 Orion originated as the Lockheed L-188 Electra, a four engine turboprop commercial airliner dating from 1955. The P-3 Orion – the Royal Canadian Airforce’s variant is the CP-140 Aurora – was first developed into an antisubmarine warfare and surveillance aircraft in the 1960s and remains in service with Canadian, U.S. and other military forces around the world. VP-2 Squadron is on a month-long tour of Canadian and U.S. military installations throughout the Pacific. At CFMETR they learned more about how the range operates. The visit was also intended to enhance the working

relationship between Japanese and Canadian forces. “They’re on a larger Pacific Rim visit,” said Capt. Jeff Manney, CFMETR’s project officer of critical infrastructure. “They’re going to Hawaii and (Naval Air Station) Whidbey Island and they’re looking at other Allied facilities. They fly the same aircraft we do and the Americans do right now. They do a very similar job and it’s basically a chance to see how your allies are working and to get a little familiar with your operations.” Interviews with squadron members – who were also keen to see how spent torpedoes and targets were recovered – were unfortunately not possible since the only English-fluent members were aboard their aircraft. Several members on the ground had a working understanding of English, but were not comfortable enough speaking it to conduct interviews. An English to Japanese interpreter with the group was able to relay information from Manney and other CFMETR personnel hosting the visit to his squadron mates. CFMETR was created in 1965 and is jointly paid for and operated by Canada and the U.S., but U.K, Australian and Japanese naval forces have also conducted tests and training at the facility. The area was chosen for its depth, about 400 metres, and flat seafloor, which allows for easy tracking and data collection through the use of hydrophone array on the seabed and presents few obstacles for training torpedoes and targets. No live munitions are ever deployed on the range. “It was up here in the Strait of Georgia that both sides had arguably the best conditions and waters, for the kind of testing and evaluation that was needed, that was present on the whole west coast of North America,” said Cmdr. Gerry Powell, CFMETR base commander. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Hospital marks golden anniversary By ToBy Gorman The News BulleTiN

Fifty years and bigger and better than ever. Staff, administrators and volunteers helped Nanaimo Regional General Hospital celebrate its golden anniversary Friday just outside the main entrance of the facility. Built in 1963 – construction began in 1960 at a cost of $3.5 million – the hospital has seen several upgrades and expansions, the most recent being the $36.9-million emergency wing completed last October. “This anniversary is a significant milestone and an opportunity

to say thank you to past and present staff, physicians, volunteers, donors, government and community partners,” said Don Hubbard, Vancouver Island Health Authority board chairman. Special note was given to the 240-member hospital auxiliary, which has operated since 1900 and supported health care in Nanaimo through efforts that include everything from sewing hospital linens to raising money through craft sales, garden parties and the annual Auxiliary Ball. “It’s a very dedicated group of volunteers,” said Lynda Avis, president of the auxiliary. “In the

last eight years alone we’ve almost raised $3 million. That’s a lot of sewing.” The Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation was also

acknowledged. It has seen more than 25,000 donors contribute almost $40 million to the hospital and other central Island care facilities over the past

35 years. Joe Stanhope, chairman of the Regional District of Nanaimo, said the hospital has served people from Bowser to Cedar well. “The investments in this hospital have allowed it to evolve and meet the needs of our growing communities. It is a key part of our community, not just as a health care facility, but as an economic driver as well,” said Stanhope, noting that the best equipment and facilities attract the best health care providers. “We don’t always want to go to the hospital, but when we do the quality of care is outstanding.” NRGH officially opened its doors on Jan. 6, 1963. Patients were relocated from the former hospital sites at Machleary and Franklyn streets in a transfer operation that included help from Civil Defence Authority and other community organizations. The first major expansion was in 1974, when the rehabilitation wing opened. In 1997, the ambulatory care wing opened, in 2005 the $23-million surgical suite was opened, and in 2007 the $16.5-million perinatal/neonatal intensive care unit opened to enhance maternity services for the 1,000 babies born at the hospital every year. Parksville-Qualicum MLA Michelle Stilwell said that while the recently opened Oceanside Health Centre in Parksville will take some of the burden off NRGH, the hospital will continue fill a vital role in the community. “I’m proud of the partnership between the province, Nanaimo Regional Hospital District and Vancouver Island Health Authority that continues to support major i m p ro v e m e n t s a t NRGH,” she said. The first hospital service in Nanaimo was an improvised facility on Chapel Street that was essentially two miner’s cabins measuring 15 by 40 feet in size. A second was later built at the corner of Prideaux and Fitzwilliam streets. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce CEO

Susan Allen

Nanaimo residents have always been generous when it comes to helping out their fellow neighbours. The generosity I have seen since moving here has been heartwarming and I am hoping that Nanaimo will once again open their hearts and their wallets to help those in crisis. I am sure that many of our readers have family and friends in Alberta and know first-hand what it has been like there over the past week. Calgary, High River, Medicine Hat and many other communities have experienced one of the worst disasters in their history. Lives have been lost, families displaced from their homes and communities ravaged by flooding. The downtown core of Calgary or business centre has been basically shut down as many companies lost power and business critical IT functions. We have all heard how a disaster can rally a community and this has certainly happened in Calgary where 3,000 volunteers showed up and only 600 were required. As we all know, a disaster does not end when the flooding ends. In fact, a disaster of this proportion can go on for months and sometimes years as the cleanup and rebuilding starts. Calgary alone is looking at a $4

billion price tag. As we know, the Red Cross does a phenomenal job of assisting those in need. The Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce along with the Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation and the Downtown Nanaimo Business Improvement Area are asking Nanaimo to step up and assist those in Alberta affected by this disaster by way of a monetary contribution or holding your own fundraiser for communities in Alberta. The Royal Bank has set up an account specifically for this and we are hoping that our generous community will assist in raising the money needed to help with the cleanup and rebuilding. If you would like to donate, please contact RBC and mention the “Alberta flood.” They will be taking contributions until July 26. You can also donate online at www.redcross.ca/donate/donateonline/donate-to-the-albertafloods. The Alberta Chamber of Commerce is setting up an account for businesses affected by this disaster and we will announce this account as soon as it is ready. Let us all hope that nothing like this ever happens in Nanaimo but that if it does, other cities will come to our aid. Please help us help Alberta.

We’re committed to working with our auto repair partners to make sure our customers’ vehicles receive high quality repairs and their vehicles are fixed as quickly as possible.” Stone Bros. Auto Body and other c.a.r. shop VALET facilities across B.C. offer these added benefits: C.a.r. shop VALET facilities are accredited by ICBC to provide safe, highquality repairs that are guaranteed for as long as you own the vehicle. With a c.a.r. shop VALET, you’ll always have another mode of transportation to get you around while your vehicle is being repaired. The shops will discuss alternate transportation options with you, which may include providing you with a courtesy vehicle. Vehicle pick-up and drop-off service is available to you if you need it. c.a.r. shop VALET facilities will offer to pick up your vehicle to complete the repairs, from any location as long as it’s within 30 kilometres of the shop. Once the repairs are done, they’ll bring your vehicle to you washed and vacuumed. All c.a.r. shop VALET facilities must meet or exceed ICBC’s high standards for repair equipment and business practices. They also have trade-qualified technicians with up-to-date technical training.

A credit union manager in her native Philippines, Magpantay was a guest of Coastal Community Credit Union last month while participating in a unique mentorship program through the Canadian Co-operative Association. The CCA’s Women’s Mentorship Program connects women credit union leaders from developing countries with a host credit union in Canada. The women learn first-hand about Canadian credit unions’ policies and procedures – knowledge they can transfer to their own co-operatives. It’s Coastal Community’s second time participating in the mentorship program. In 2009, Coastal Community mentored two women credit union leaders from Mongolia. “It’s an honour to once again be a part of an initiative that’s focused on building global relationships, sharing knowledge, and growing the co-operative movement,” said Susanne Jakobsen, Coastal Community’s board chairwoman. “Cooperation is one of Coastal Community’s core values, and the mentorship program is a shining example of people working together for a common benefit. I look forward to sharing my knowledge with her.”

Laurie Tennian, manager of the mentorship program, said the program wouldn’t be possible without the support of the Canadian credit union system. “Credit unions like Coastal Community volunteer to be part of the program, and their commitment has been stellar,” she said.

Coastal Community’s guest, Magpantay, is the general manager at Centre for Agriculture and Rural Development Employees’ Multipurpose Co-operative in San Pablo City, Laguna. CARD’s services include housing and disaster loans, as well as health insurance. Through her mentorship at Coastal Community, she hopes to learn more about creating guidelines and policies for her co-

operative and staff of seven. The co-operative she manages has over 6,000 members, and more than half are women. Since its inception in 2002, the Women’s Mentorship Program has mentored more than 175 women from 18 countries. Noted impacts include increased membership in credit unions, improved profitability and expanded operations. For more, please visit www.coopscanada.coop.

Nanaimo Economic Development Update

with CEO Sasha Angus

On June 20, the Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation hosted its second annual general meeting at the Coast Bastion Inn, highlighting activities from the recently released 2012 NEDC Annual Report. This report details everything from business trends to branding exercises, destination marketing to business development programming – the NEDC certainly had a plateful in 2012. The following are excerpts from the 2012 NEDC Annual Report. The full report can be found at the NEDC website, http://investnanaimo.com, or can be downloaded to your iPad by visiting iTunes. NEDC represents a hugely valuable resource to Nanaimo and region businesses, providing regional economic and industry information, access to business directories for sourcing products and services, and industry sector profiles for the retail, construction, infrastructure and tourism sectors, among others. Information on business plan development, access to capital and entering new markets are just a few of the ways that NEDC staff can assist budding entrepreneurs and seasoned business professionals alike. NEDC introduced the Nanaimo Business Counts program, a series of 11 focus group meetings with industry groups to discuss the various challenges and opportunities present for Nanaimo region businesses. These forums provided an invaluable look at the experience of Nanaimo business owners, and will inform specifically catered programming for regionally based businesses in the future. To ensure that Nanaimo remains regionally, nationally and

internationally competitive, NEDC works diligently on trade development for businesses. In 2012, NEDC trade development efforts manifested into a program that facilitates peer-to-peer knowledge sharing, the Export Peer Mentoring Program. Business owners participating in import-export business came together each month to discuss specific topics of success. With business investment and attraction initiatives, the NEDC promotes Nanaimo as the clear choice for business location. The team held 79 new investment business meetings, fielded 239 research and information requests, and hosted 165 businesses through the Business Retention and Expansion program. In the spring, NEDC’s industryled Tourism Leadership Committee embarked on a tourism strategic plan to identify Nanaimo and region’s current market position as well as new development initiatives to be implemented over the next two to three years. A highlight for NEDC was the opening of a new Tourism Nanaimo Visitor Centre in the fall of last year. The Northfield Road location is in a key traffic corridor, providing the opportunity to capture visitors traveling up and down the Island highway. The response to both the location and the new building has been exceptional.

EDITORIAL

Keep emotion out of decision Colliery Dam Park is not the only hotbutton issue threatening a summer of discontent in Nanaimo. School district trustees’ decision last week to close five sites and continue consultations on more proposed closures left some people storming away angry and others scrambling to come up with solid alternatives before the end of the year to keep the doors open. Like opponents to the deconstruction of the Colliery dams, those against the school closures are afraid to lose something near and dear to their hearts and are willing to fight for it. But the school board doesn’t have the luxury to wait and see anymore. It must act. Trustees likely know schools such as South Wellington are a hub of the community, albeit a quickly emptying hub, but have to act on hard facts. Facts that show enrolment in schools including South Wellington, North Oyster, Woodbank, North Cedar and Cedar secondary is dropping. And that costs money. As in a business, when customers stop coming, decisions – often hard decisions – have to be made to stem the tide of money going out the door. Add the never-ending battle to squeeze funding out of the provincial government and employee contracts that take a large slice of the budget, and the district is caught between a rock and a hard place. Something has to give and student learning should not be in the equation. The children will have a roof over their heads and a classroom to attend, but not the one they were used to. Calls for cuts to a top-heavy administration is one avenue – if parents and students are to suffer hardships, then all stakeholders should do the same – but saving thosuands is hardly more than a finger-in-the-dike solution when millions of dollars are needed. Taxpayers have no appetite for additional increases so more creative – and often tough – ideas must be found.

them five minutes longer to travel along a street with a new bike lane, but it actually took from five seconds less to just a minute and 37 seconds more. But if we really want to increase safety for cyclists – and pedestrians and motorists – we all need to take responsibility for our behaviours. People navigating on foot must be aware of surrounding bikes, buses, cars and other people and not wander with their eyes fixed on electronic devices. Car drivers need to follow road rules and be more aware of cyclists and pedestrians. Some cyclists just need to be smarter. A lot of criticism of the growing number of cyclists in cities is valid: too many blast through stop signs, don’t give pedestrians the right-of-way, refuse to signal turns, ride against traffic, don’t make themselves visible enough and use sidewalks. It doesn’t take much to learn and follow the rules, and investing in proper gear – including lights and reflectors – is absolutely necessary. You’ll not only be safer; you’ll also be less likely to anger motorists, pedestrians and fellow cyclists. There’s really no doubt: anything that increases bicycle use, from separated lanes to bikesharing programs, makes cities more liveable and citizens healthier. Cyclists must do their part to build support for initiatives that make cycling easier, safer and more popular. www.davidsuzuki.org

Response time a danger To the Editor,

Re: Fire hits Nanaimo home, June 27. We are residents and property owners on Rockridge Place in Oakridge Estates. On Monday morning, an emergency call to the fire department was required for a fire in a neighbour’s home. The firefighters were at their hall when the 911 operator contacted Firehall No. 3 on Hammond Bay Road. They dispatched two trucks to the site of the fire. Shortly after the arrival of the trucks from No. 3, a truck from Firehall No. 2 on Dorman Road arrived. Fire trucks from both stations took 10 to 12 minutes to arrive. Despite the immediate availability of the crew, the response time from both stations was delayed by the geography of the area – the long drive down either side of Hammond Bay Road is unavoidable, even for emergency vehicles. Hammond Bay, Stephenson Point, and Departure Bay neighbourhoods need a more accessible fire hall. The city plans to build a fire hall along Hammond Bay Road near Nottingham Drive, but city council con-

Demolition of Bay Theatre deserves annex treatment To the Editor,

Re: City to demolish unsafe building, June 27. The case of the city’s move to demolish the old Bay Theatre at 91 Chapel St. will make an interesting comparison with that which the city put forward regarding the old city hall annex. In the case of the annex, there was no immediate damage to the structure, but it was nevertheless declared unsafe and put on the market with a demand for either demolition or upgrading in a two-year period during which the successful bidder would not pay taxes on the property. It was then sold on that condition for $1 which carried with it about $30,000 in tax exemptions. In the case of the annex we were dealing with public property belonging to the citizens of Nanaimo. In the case of the old theatre building we are dealing with the private property of the Loft Ministries. Will the deal to demolish it be treated in the same manner as the annex? Will the property valuation be the same?

To the Editor,

Recently the City of Victoria launched an important initiative to reduce the provincial municipal speed limit to 40 km/h. Although this initiative might not be popular with those drivers who see the roads as their exclusive domain, it will save lives. According to a recent World Health Organization report on road traffic injury prevention the fatality risk at 50 km/h is more than twice as high as the risk at 40 km/h and more than five times higher than the risk at 30 km/h. Reducing the speed limit is consistent with Nanaimo’s Official Community Plan to promote safe travel conditions for pedestrians and cyclists. It is also consistent with the draft Strategic Transportation Plan, which prioritizes the safety of all vulnerable road users, including safe routes for

students who bike and walk to school. The proposal to reduce speed limits is gaining traction. Here on the Island, Victoria and neighbouring communities such as Oak Bay and Esquimalt have embraced the 40 km/h limit on some of their roads. The resolution was endorsed in April by the Association of Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities, including the City of Nanaimo, and will be debated at the Union of B.C. Municipalities in September. The Greater Nanaimo Cycling Coalition would like to voice its strong support for this resolution.

Provincial justice system lets down beaten shepherd To the Editor,

I am royally upset not just as an animal lover but as a human being that there was no justice for Captain, the three-year-old German shepherd, and no real punishment for his owner, Brian Whitlock. All Whitlock received was the usual slap on the wrist, much like a young offender would receive. Whitlock should never have been allowed to own any animals in the first place. Then Captain would still be alive.

Al Munro Nanaimo

Politicians must pay costs when forcing byelection To the Editor,

Canadian taxpayers should not be on the hook for byelection costs, unless the cause is death or serious illness. Candidates, and the parties that approve them, should be required to cover the cost of byelections that result from members not wanting to bother to stay until the next election. Surely expecting office seekers to guarantee that much commitment to their constituents is reasonable.

Festival unites cultures with dance BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN

nity through the expressive art form of dance is drawing performers to Nanaimo for the Infringing Dance Festival. The festival, Dancing in the Belly of the Dragon, is being held in conjunction with the 2013 Dragon Boat Festival and runs Thursday to Sunday (July 4-7) in Maffeo Sutton Park. Paul Wyse-Seward, a member of the Snuneymuxw Dance Group, said the festival is about different cultures uniting under one roof, which is important in Nanaimo and in places around the world. “This is seeing different cultures coming together and the unity of people coming together,” he said. “It is huge especially in this day and age because racism is still going on.” The Snuneymuxw Dance Group has members ranging in ages from three to 63 years old. During the festival opening ceremonies the group will perform a welcome song, sometimes referred to as a paddle song. Wyse-Seward said the song was created by a Snuneymuxw First Nation man for his daughter who was marrying outside of the nation before colonization. When she or any other member of the nation returned they sang the song to let everyone know it was one of

their own people coming back to the village. The group will also perform a prayer and celebration song. Anusha Fernando, of the Shakti Dance Company, said she is ‘thrilled’ to be part of the event. Fernando will perform two pieces of south Indian classical dance: Bhumi Shloka and Tungtarangini. Bhumi Shloka is about the Earth – a woman draped in oceans who nourishes all life. Tungtarangini is the story of the birth of Ganga. “This form is very old,” she said, adding she still tries to ensure it speaks to today’s generations. “I want to dance from my own place and not be stuck in a box that isn’t relevant to people today.” The event features traditional dances from various cultures including Spain, Brazil and more. The opening night celebration, 6-7 p.m., features Snuneymuxw First Nations dancers and Le La La Dancers from the Kwakwaka’wakw First Nation. Tickets are $10. Drum ’n Dance: VooDoo Dave’s Tribal Rhythms is Friday at 7:30 p.m. and costs $10. Tickets for the closing ceremony, which includes a performance by Zogma, a francophone dance company, ROY OSTLING PHOTO and dinner, are $25. For tickets A member of the Le La La Dancers, from the Kwakwaka’wakw First Nation, performs a traditional dance. The group and schedule please go to www. performs during the Infringing Dance Festival Thursday to Sunday (July 4-7) at Maffeo Sutton Park.

Drama group presents award-winning show BY LINDSAY CHUNG BLACK PRESS

Yellow Point Drama Group is getting ready to present its award-winning production Looking at the Mainstage Festival, but before that, local audiences will have two chances to see the show and help the group raise money. At the recent South Island Zone Festival in Ladysmith, Yellow Point Drama Group won a number of awards, including best production and best backstage work, for its production of the Norm Foster comedy. Barbara Metcalf and Brian March also won best actor awards at the festival. As the best production from the South Island Zone Festival, the production of Looking advances to Theatre B.C.’s Mainstage Festival Friday (July 5) to July 13 in Kamloops.

To raise money for the trip to Kamloops – where the group will present Looking Thursday, July 11 – the organization is bringing Looking back for two nights – Friday, (July 5) at Ladysmith Little Theatre (4985 Christie Rd.) and Saturday (July 6) at Cedar Community Hall (2388 Cedar Rd.). Doors open at 7 p.m. for both shows, and the play starts at 8 p.m. All seats are $15, and tickets can be reserved by calling 250-722-3067. All proceeds from ticket sales will help the drama group get to Kamloops. In Looking, a personal ad in the newspaper brings two middle-aged couples together on a blind date, setting off clever plot twists and an unexpected hookup. Directed by Armando Dosantos, Looking stars Gordon McInnis, March, Metcalf, and Moira Steele. March said being hon-

oured at the South Island Zone Festival was great, and the experience was a valuable learning tool. “You really never know when you go to a festival how you are going to stack up against other plays,”

said March. “It’s more of a learning experience anyways. You have to go in with the idea that this is a way of educating yourself about theatre and learning through adjudication and through the other per-

formers in the festival.” Participating in a festival also gives the actors a chance to learn how to prepare in a short period of time and simplify their set because they are going into a different venue and have a set amount of time to set up, he said. Looking has gone through a number of changes since the Yellow Point Drama Group produced it at the Cedar Community Hall in February and March, particularly when it comes to staging. March said when the drama group first produced the play the idea was to make it an intimate experience for the audience. Some scenes, such as the pub scene, were acted on the floor with the audience becoming part of the pub. “Going to Kamloops, it will be much different … it’s a traditional theatre with set seating. We can’t

pull it onto the floor with people, and with the stage being at least two times the size of what we work with, changes have to be made.” March, McInnis, Metcalf and Steele spent last week working on those changes when in workshops with Barbara French, who was the adjudicator at the South Island Zone Festival. “With these two fundraisers, we will be staging it closer to how we’ll stage it in Kamloops,” said March. “For people who may have seen it before, it will be a different look this time around. It will evolve. It’s becoming a more complete play.” March has been to Mainstage Festival before, but this will be his first time at the festival away from the Island.

She was welcomed into the Tessier family home on the Jesuit College Campus by 3 curious brothers and 2 very excited sisters. Two more brothers followed and the family was complete. Terry was the daughter of Mother Mary “Eileen” Rooney, of Lethbridge, Alberta and Father “Joseph Napoleon” Tessier of Montreal, Quebec. Terry married Malcolm McIntosh in Edmonton Alberta on July 1st, 1954 and a year later, the young couple and their first born son Craig, with big dreams, headed west in their Volkswagen to Nanaimo, British Columbia to start a new life together. With the crisp ocean air and starry nights, they soon found themselves blessed with three more energetic sons. Terry was a mom in the true sense of the word. She gave a hug that squeezed out every tear, she loved unconditionally, always put the family before herself and could be counted on above everyone else. Just a little talk could make all your problems go away. Terry had a heart of gold. She loved to cook and bake for family and friends. She was meticulous and generous in everything she did. All compliments to the chef were countered with “it’s made with love.” Most importantly, like Mother Eileen, she loved a good story that led to a good laugh. For many years Terry could be found “on the go,” starting with a brisk walk at sunrise and then off to provide support to those in the community suffering from grief and illness. And every struggle deserved a happy photo (usually many). Terry was truly one of God’s great servants and impacted so many lives with love and kindness. It was never about her. She lived to serve and served to feel alive. She was there for anyone in need. Terry had an unwavering faith in God and shared her faith with pride. Today she is resting in God’s Great Kingdom with 1000 angels by her side. She will be missed by all. Terry is survived by her three brothers: Richard Joseph (Dick), Jacques Emile (Jack), Charles Raymond (Ray); a sister, Cecile Lorraine (Lorraine); four sons: Craig, Forbes, Scott and Angus; eight grandchildren and three great grandchildren. A celebration of her life will be held on Friday, July 12, 2013 at 1 PM at the Bethlehem Retreat Centre, 2371 Arbot Rd, Nanaimo, British Columbia. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Bethlehem Retreat Centre. “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away." “And He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." And He said, "Write, for these words are faithful and true." Revelation 21:4-5

FOUR NANAIMO teens playing on provincial team.

With the type of calibre you’re playing, you pick up a lot of stuff.

BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

Basketball season doesn’t necessarily have to end. Some of the city’s top young b-ball players get to continue to play the sport all summer long now that they’ve made the provincial team. Max Reed, Tyus Barfoot, Olivia Mjaaland and Madeline Hart are all participating in Basketball B.C.’s highperformance program this summer. Reed, from Dover Bay, is on the U15 team; Barfoot from Nanaimo District Secondary School is on the U16 squad; Wellington’s Mjaaland is on the U15 team and Dover’s Hart is playing with the U14s. The teens had to make it through a tryout process to earn their spots. “I put a lot of hard work into basketball, so it’s kind of nice,” said Reed. “It’s a reward.” The program is intensive. Players have been travelling to the Fraser Valley on weekends for practices, and now that school is done, they’ll squeeze in even more practices plus tournaments around the continent. Depending on their divisions, the athletes will play tourneys in Seattle, Spokane, Las Vegas, Edmonton and St. John’s, Nfld. over the next six weeks. Barfoot said the U16 team’s practices have been good so far. Com-

fits of Basketball B.C.’s high-performance program, as they both played with provincial teams last summer, too. Afterward, Barfoot was able to jump up and play a central role with the senior AA NDSS Islanders as a Grade 10, while Reed was an all-star at Grade 9 provincials with the Dover Bay Dolphins. They’re getting used to fierce competition, and they can expect more of it as they tip off in the U.S. this month. “You want to get a win, win all the tournaments,” said Reed. “[But] a lot of it’s just about the experience and getting better as a player.” And that should lead to victories, this summer and beyond. “It’s always a big part of it, to win,” Barfoot said. “But it’s definitely a big part to improve your skills and notice how you’ve improved throughout the summer.” sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Due to early deadlines because of the long weekend, scores from the past few days weren’t available at press time.

Kids have a ball as season ends Nanaimo’s baseball future is brighter after a positive season for the youngest players. The Nanaimo Minor Baseball Association held its wind-up games this month for the tadpole, T-ball and rookie divisions, said Kerry Anderson, the NMBA’s tadpole coordinator. Tadpole season ended with an event June 15 at Departure Bay Centennial Park and the T-ball/rookie finale was June 22 at Harry Wipper Park. Anderson said the youths participated in an official Major League Baseball skills competition that gave them a chance to exhibit some of the things they learned this spring. “You can see, especially at this level, the skill development is huge,” Anderson said.

Rowers, paddlers co-operating to try to build better boathouse BY GREG SAKAKI The NeWS BuLLeTiN

Paddlers and rowers put in a hard day’s work as they worked toward a goal. The Nanaimo Canoe and Kayak Club and the Nanaimo Rowing Club hosted the Community Boathouse Blitz Dawn to Dusk Paddlea-thon on June 22 at Long Lake. “There were boats on the water all day, so that was great,” said Craig Rutherford, coach of the rowing club. Ashley Rowe, coach of the NCKC, said her club’s athletes paddled a total of 325 kilometres. Cameron Antifave was the club’s marathon man, paddling 85km, and the youngest member of the junior development team, 10-year-old Justine Darlington, made it 15km. The clubs are trying to raise money for a new boathouse at Loudon Park. “We need to get awareness out there and find support from the community to get it done,” said Rutherford. The clubs had originally hoped to have a new boathouse in time

for the 2014 B.C. Summer Games in Nanaimo, but that timeline doesn’t appear likely – Rowe said the boathouse will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. So it’s going to be a bit of an uphill paddle, so to speak. “Yeah, unless we have some major community sponsorship through local businesses,” Rowe said. Currently, boats are stored outside, which isn’t ideal. “There’s a lot of repairs that have to be done on an annual basis,” said Rowe. “The boats and equipment are wearing a lot more quickly because they’re exposed.” She said a new boathouse would also be more esthetically pleasing than the current cage structure. “It would be something that a lot of people would look at as a being an asset and also a little bit more motivation to join the clubs because then we’d look a little bit more serious,” she said. For information about the clubs and their programs, please visit www.nckc.ca or www.nanaimo rowingclub.com.

Is Your PC Behaving Badly? Is your PC running slower than when it was new? Are you pestered with pop-ups? Do you have Internet connection problems? Do you get error messages on startup or while running Windows? Does your system lock-up or restart for no reason? Are you running out of hard drive space? Is the system making loud or strange sounds?

PC Tune-Up $99 Most of these problems are caused by a combination of: Low system resources as a result of too many unnecessary programs loading on startup, having viruses, spyware, adware and foistware installed, corrupted or out of date system files, fragmented hard drives, lack of available hard drive space, and overheating caused by clogged heat sinks and defective fans. Our Tune-Up takes care of the most common computer problems that our service department sees on a daily basis. We can also recommend hardware and software upgrades to make your system perform better than new. Allow two working days for this service.
