Volunteers discover bunnies missing from 4-H Barnyard By ChRIS BuSh THe NewS BULLeTiN

Peter Van Loan, leader of the government in House of Commons, left, and James Lunney, Nanaimo MP, announce $4.65 million in federal funding to help upgrade the Nanaimo Assembly Wharf into a short-sea container shipping facility during a ceremony at the site Wednesday morning.

Nanaimo 4-H Barnyard staff are hoping a doe rabbit and her four kittens will be returned to Beban Park. Barnyard staff discovered the bunnies were missing Sunday morning during a weekend check of the animals. “We came in Sunday to find them and their food dishes gone,” said Sabrina Meyer, a member of the Gabriola 4-H Club. The rabbits, which are from Gabriola, were being displayed at the barnyard, which is set up so people, especially children, can pet and interact with domesticated animals. The rabbits taken were pure bred mini lops. The rabbits are a variety that are smaller in size and have floppy ears. The mother is black and the babies have golden seal tip coats. The theft was reported to police, but there is little investigators can do. “They can’t really do anything because there are no security cameras and no witnesses,” Meyer said. Meyer said this is the first theft she is aware of since the 4-H Barnyard was moved to the Beban Park exhibition grounds from Bowen Park in 2008. She has been lending her rabbits to the barnyard since it moved. The rabbits might have been stolen because of their size and docile nature, Meyer said. “The rabbits are the smallest and quietest of the animals there, so they’re easier to transport and don’t make a lot of noises when you pick them up,” Meyer said. The barn is open daily, admission by donation, through July and August. Anyone with information about the theft of these animals is asked to call Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www. nanaimocrimestoppers.com.

Money earmarked for assembly wharf Upgrades intended to open Port of Nanaimo to local and international markets By ChRIS BuSh THe NewS BULLeTiN

The federal government opened the latch on the Asia-Pacific Gateway, so to speak, by announcing $4.65 million to modernize the Nanaimo Assembly Wharf for short sea container shipping. The announcement was made Wednesday morning by Peter Van Loan, leader of government in the House of Commons, on behalf of Ed Fast, minister of international trade and for the Asia-Pacific Gateway, with James Lunney, Nanaimo-Alberni MP, and

Robert Bennie, Nanaimo Port Authority chairman. The assembly wharf modernization project is part of Canada’s AsiaPacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative, designed to bolster trade and shipping with Asian markets. The assembly wharf, which has been mostly dormant for about 10 years, will be renovated to handle short-sea container shipping between Nanaimo and the Lower Mainland. Van Loan sees opportunities for container shipping of lumber from Nanaimo. “Containerization has

made things more efficient and that will put this area back in play,” Van Loan said. “We’ve spent a lot of effort trying to open up Asian markets with a lot of success in Japan, China and elsewhere to the Canadian lumber industry. “Exports of lumber to the Far East have been going up at a very steep rate. It’s been very important to the industry and this is an opportunity for this area to benefit from that activity even more so.” The $4.65 million will be matched by an equal investment from the Nanaimo Port Authority

– from revenue it raises from fees for moorage and other services – making for a total investment of $9.3 million. Bernie Dumas, Nanaimo Port Authority president and CEO, said the port estimates it will earn that investment back over the next 10 years. The renovations could also get Nanaimo into the international container shipping business during times when the Port of Vancouver is filled to capacity and needs additional storage and shipment transfer facilities. u See ‘UPGRADES’ /4

Lions Club helps make homes visible Hub City Lions are driving donations while helping emergency responders get to emergency scenes in a hurry with 911 Reflective Address Signs. 911 Reflective Address Signs are highly visible day or night and are made of the same aluminum and reflective vinyl as road signs. One of the things that slows down emergency responders is that they often cannot find a home’s address numbers at a time when every second saved counts. “Quite often people don’t even have an address posted on their house or it’s obscured by plants and vegetation or the numbers have fallen down, so we run into it fairly commonly,”

shift in the Northwest Territories, which will soon be granted provincial-like powers over its resources, water and Crown land, to create a self-governing Vancouver Island. Anyone interested in signing the petition can access it at http://viprovince.ca. Supporters must print out two copies of the petition – one is for the provincial government and the other is federal – sign both copies as send them to V.I Petition, Box 333, Cedar, B.C., V9X 1W1. The petitions will be collected and delivered to the appropriate government agencies.

Students at Seaview Elementary School will get a chance to nurture their green thumbs next school year. Thanks to grants secured through the Toyota Evergreen Learning Grounds program and the Whole Kids Foundation, parents, students and school staff members plan to begin construction of a vegetable garden on school grounds in September. “The whole reason behind that is to teach kids about healthy eating and hopefully one day have a cooking program,” said Cherie Alyward, parent advisory council chairwoman. “It’s nice to have for the kids. They may not be able to experience gardening at home.” The idea of having a garden on school grounds took root after Alyward’s oldest daughter went on a field trip to John Barsby Secondary School, which already has one, to participate in a cooking program. The students loved being able to head out to the garden to pick some fresh herbs and vegetables to use in a soup they later dropped off at the local food bank. Alyward said the kids had all sorts of technical questions about what could be grown in the area and at what times of the year and so with the support of Jeff Schultz, a teacher at the school, as well as the administration, she applied for the grants. The project received $3,000 through the Toyota Evergreen Learning Grounds program, a joint venture between local Toyota dealerships, including Nanaimo Toyota Scion, and Toyota Canada to help schools create outdoor classrooms, and $2,000 through the Whole Kids Foundation’s School Garden Grants program. Alyward said the plan is to build 10 raised boxes – one for every class in the school – as well as a learning bench, ornamental bed, herb garden and shed. The $5,000 should cover everything, including soil and tools, except for the shed. “We’re hoping to get donations for the shed,” she said, adding the district has cleared and flattened an area on school property for the garden. Alyward hopes that most teachers incorporate the garden into their lessons. She said aside from the potential for using it in science, math and other lessons, the garden can help teach students about healthy eating, where food comes from and the benefits of growing your own food. The hope is one day a cooking program could be added at the school that would use what is produced in the garden, Alyward added. A group of parents signed on to help maintain the garden.

Petition aims for separate island-only province By lindsay ChunG Black Press

Two local men are hoping to spark a debate about the future of Vancouver Island – with the goal of seeing the Island become a separate, self-reliant and sustainable province by the year 2021. Laurie Gourlay and Scott Akenhead, from Cedar and North Oyster respectively, have begun a petition to gather support for the movement, find out what people think about the idea and begin a conversation about what self-governance of the Island might look like. “We could be addressing our problems by ourselves instead of trying to address

them through 14 MLAs in a legislature with 85,” said Akenhead. “You’d be able to bring to bear a lot more attention to the specific problems and the specific opportunities the Island has in a way you could never do if it was mixed in with the rest of B.C.” The petition is one step in a long and complex process, but Gourlay and Akenhead hope it will bring the issue to the forefront of people’s minds and get them talking about the opportunities such a change might afford. They point out that the idea of a Province of Vancouver Island is not a new idea, but rather a very old one. The Island was a self-gov-

erned colony in the mid1800s before it amalgamated with the colony of B.C. in 1866, in part because of economic pressures. The two point out that if Vancouver Island were to become a province, it would be larger in population than Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick as well as all three territories. Gourlay and Akenhead envision a province that capitalizes on its own natural and cultural resources in a way that builds an environmentally and economically sustainable province. Their hope is to use the legal framework that’s just been drafted for a coming power

Brian Cripps, of Nanaimo Fire Rescue. “If it’s a fire it’s fairly selfevident, but 65 per cent of our calls are medical in nature and not ever yone comes out and waves their hands to flag us down.” Hub City Lions hopes to cut the time it takes to confirm an address by selling as many of the 15 by 46 centimetre signs as possible. The signs sell for $40 each. Lions members put the numbers of the house address on each sign before they are taken to be installed on homes, gates and fences. “Our biggest challenge is nighttime and trying to find the addresses,” said Lance Stephenson, B.C.

Police search for suspects in explosion Police in Nanaimo are looking for two suspects believed to be the culprits behind an explosion that blew out a car’s windshield. Mounties were called shortly before 11 p.m. Tuesday when a witness reported two young males setting off what appeared to be fireworks or possibly pipe bombs in the parking lot of a business on Stewart Avenue. Minutes later, the witness called back saying the youths had put an explosive on a car in the area, which blew out the car’s wind-

shield. The witness then started chasing the suspects. Mounties searched the neighbourhood, but failed to find the two youths. The suspects are described as aboriginal males, about 14 years old. One was wearing a black shirt and checkered long shorts. The other wore a striped shirt with brown and grey long shorts. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

Upgrades start in early autumn u From /1 Nanaimo is one of several ports in the AsiaPacific Gateway Initiative receiving money to improve facilities. Van Loan and Lunney were on their way to Port Alberni to make a similar announcement there Wednesday afternoon. “The ability to move containers gives the ability to get into smaller lots,” Dumas said. “It opens up new markets for the forest products industry here. The movement of cargo on Vancouver Island hasn’t really changed since the ‘50s or ‘60s, so this project will enable direct movements of containers from Nanaimo, right to an international container terminal where they go onto a mothership right away and then off to Asia.” Dumas said the operation will be more seamless, involve fewer trucks and ultimately be greener and more energy efficient. A sizeable portion of the renovation will go into purchasing a used container crane, which the Port Authority hopes to buy for about $2.5 million. Major reconstruction will be carried out to upgrade and strengthen the assembly wharf. A portion of it is built on wood pilings, some of which were driven in the 1950s. Construction could start in late September or early October and be completed by September 2014. Dumas did not have hard figures projecting the number of direct job opportunities the wharf upgrades will generate. A loading crew for a barge totals about 12 people and Dumas estimated 200 to 300 12-metre containers would move through the wharf per week initially with an eye to increasing volume. Day-to-day Port of Nanaimo shipping operations will be handled by DP World Vancouver, a division of DP World, which operates 65 marine terminals worldwide and maintains its corporate head office in Dubai. Ultimately Dumas sees Nanaimo as being the possible gateway for shipping to the central Island and even Victoria. “One of the things with containers is that you only need to move about 20 tonnes – you only need to fill up that box and get it to Asia, so you’re going to see a lot of companies in Nanaimo and Duncan and maybe up in Campbell River that can actually start moving cargo to Asia that they couldn’t do before,” he said. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

2013

As a single mom with two young boys, a thought that has crossed Tara Maguire’s mind more than once is what would happen to her family if something happened to her and she couldn’t work any more or as much. Rent takes up almost 50 per cent of her income already, so when she heard that her family is one of two families selected to live in the duplex that Habitat for Humanity Mid-Vancouver Island is building, she was overjoyed. “It will provide financial stability for myself and my children,” said Maguire, 33. “It was going to take us 10 years before I could jump into the market.” Habitat sells qualifying families homes with an interest-free mortgage. No more than a quarter of the family’s income goes toward mortgage payments and as the family’s income changes, the mortgage changes with it, so the family will not end up homeless. Maguire and her sons Kyler, 9, and Jackson, 4, and Jenn Stuart and her two daughters, Solace, 8, and Maren, 3, will occupy the duplex once it is finished next winter. The families have qualified based on need, ability to take on a mortgage and willingness to part-

to help raise the $150,000 needed. “It costs quite a bit of money to build these houses to a good quality,” said Teresa Pring, Habitat for Humanity Mid-Vancouver Island executive director. “We hope that the community supports our project. Last year we raised about $200,000, so I think we can do it.” The duplex, 1,100 square feet per side including three bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms, will become the 13th and 14th homes built by the Nanaimo charity and it is being built next door to a duplex the charity built last year. The goal is to achieve the Built Green Platinum Standard, a standard that requires builders to use energy efficient framing methods and environmentally friendly building products, and will keep the hydro and heating bills down for the two families.

Education possible with help from university’s foundation I doNATIoNS INcrEASEd by more than $1 million to Viu Foundation to help students pay for school. By JeNN M c GarriGle The News BulleTiN

For Vancouver Island University Earth sciences student Jamie Anderson, every little bit of monetary help she receives is appreciated. For the past three years, the 29-year-old received a bursary from the VIU Foundation based on a combination of academic achievement and financial need. As someone dependent on student loans to finish her degree, each facet of help she receives means she doesn’t have to borrow quite as much. “Any money is really good for students,” said Anderson, adding that the $500 she just received from the foundation will probably cover her books for a semester. “It’s nice to know there are people out there who are encouraging people to do the best they can and rewarding people,” she said. “It gives you that little incentive to do better.” For some of her peers, the foundation’s help can mean the difference between being able to attend university or not, Anderson added. For example, a friend of hers owns a house so she is not eligible for a student loan and financial aid from the foundation helps her get by, she said. The foundation came into existence in 1994 to manage the university’s endowment and raise money to support the institution by providing financial aid to students through scholarships, bursaries and awards. About 900 awards are given out annually and in recent years, the foundation has also been looking for donors wanting to help enhance the learning environment, whether that be new buildings, infrastructure upgrades or new learning tools, said Bruce Williams, foundation chairman.

The provincial government has changed the way post-secondary institutions are funded and less than half of the institution’s operating budget now comes from government, compared with more than 80 per cent three decades ago, so the foundation is looking for other sources to support students’ ability to learn, he said. Local philanthropist Sidney Sharman recently donated $350,000 to build a stateof-the-art nursing simulation lab on the Nanaimo campus to allow nursing students to get critical hands-on experience. Williams said securing this type of community support ensures students get the relevant, up-to-date training they need to find employment. “Employers want to hire someone who’s up to speed, so we try as hard as we can to emulate that,” he said. “We do everything we can to enhance students’ ability to learn.” The institution’s wish list includes a new student centre, athletic centre and health and sciences building and the foundation hopes to help find the money needed to make these enhanced facilities a reality, said Williams. Over the past year, the foundation has been able to reach more donors and grow annual revenues from $2.1 million to $3.2 million – an increase of more than $1 million. Williams said the foundation not only increased the number of donors, whom he calls investors, but also increased the amount given by donors by getting the word out about the value of contributing. The Festival of Trees annual fundraiser contributes a relatively small part of the foundation’s annual revenues at about $100,000 per year, but it makes people aware of what the foundation is doing, he said. “By investing in the university, you’re investing in people,” said Williams. “It’s a matter of showing how much we matter. If we’re going to grow our economy, we need to do it with skills.”

Jamie Anderson, an Earth sciences student, is going to use a $500 bursary from Vancouver Island University Foundation toward textbooks. The foundation saw an increase of more than $1 million from donors this year, allowing it to help more students like Anderson with the cost of post-secondary education.

Regional district looks for answers to questions on legal marijuana grow ops By Neil HorNer Black Press

Directors with the Regional District of Nanaimo are aware that the rules around legal marijuana grow operations have changed, but they’re still unclear on what that will mean for them – and they’re looking for answers. The issue arose at the regular board meeting last week when a Cedar resident complained

about the smell from a legal grow-op next door to her home. Kathryn Seymour said in her presentation that she lives in an area where there are many such operations. “The smell is very distinctive,” she said. “I’ve had many people comment on it as they drive through the area.” Her neighbour’s legal operation, she said, is one of the sources of the pungent odour.

She said she requested the person living there to do something about it, but was assaulted by a secondary odour used in an attempt to cover up the first. “He’s trying to mask it, but there’s a constant and strong wind blowing our way. When the smell is bad we have to close our windows. We’ve had people complain of headaches from allday exposure.” Seymour noted that recently-

announced changes to the medical marijuana legislation could improve the situation but stressed that the larger operations could prove to be magnets for crime – something she wants to avoid in her generally quiet neighbourhood. She called on the RDN to set up zoning restrictions to make sure that any new operations are sited in commercial or industrial, rather than rural or

residential areas. Under the new regulations, production will no longer be allowed in homes and all municipal zoning laws will need to be respected. Deputy board chairwoman Diane Brennan called on district staff to prepare a report on the district’s options for controlling legal marijuana grow operations, as well as the issues arising from changes to the legislation. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

“I’ve noticed there are more hearing clinics around these days. How do I find the best deal on hearing aids?” The first thing to keep in mind is what you are actually paying for with hearing aids. As much as half of the cost or more is for the service work of the clinician to assess your hearing needs, custom fit you with the right product, and provide follow up care and maintenance -usually for as long as you own your hearing aids. With this in mind, consider how to choose a contractor for a home renovation. For starters, you want someone that has good qualifications and experi-

ence, uses quality products, and has a good reputation. However, these points are meaningless if you don’t feel comfortable working with your contractor. You are paying for someone to “connect” with you, understand your wishes, and ensure that the job is done right...the way you want it. To get the best deal with hearing aids, keep in mind

the contractor scenario. You are not just looking for a hearing aid or the cheapest price. You are looking for the clinician that you feel comfortable working with. It is this relationship that will be the key to custom designing a sound experience that works well for your lifestyle. This brings me to why I fit hearing aids. I get great satisfaction from the opportunity to

learn the unique hearing needs of my patients. Then, I work hard to custom fit hearing aids in such a way that improves their quality of life. Each patient is an opportunity to get to know another unique individual. This is why I love fitting hearing aids. Call Nanaimo Hearing Clinic at 250-585-4100 to let me thoroughly assess your hearing. You can then evaluate if I would be a good fit for servicing your hearing needs! I look forward to meeting you soon!

EDITORIAL

Deadly road sees new era

The placing of concrete dividers on the Malahat, in areas prone to crashes, is a good step in the right direction, from a safety perspective and one of highway continuity, even as driver common sense remains paramount. While it is critical that emergency crews be able to quickly reach drivers involved in collisions on the road, it is also imperative that at least one lane of the road remains open to keep traffic moving. There have been many calls over the years to do something to address the potential for problems and tragedy on this hilly, windy section of Highway 1 between Goldstream Park and Mill Bay. Some of those suggestions, or demands, had a snowball’s chance in Haiti of being followed through on, like the bridge and tunnel ideas. But the one that always seemed to make the most sense – a better system of dividers – has finally been acted upon by the Ministry of Transportation. This is the same department that spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the Inland Island Highway from Parksville to Courtenay some years back, then extended it to Campbell River, so people could rumble along at 120 kilometres per hour or more between areas that produce far less traffic than the Malahat on a daily basis. Things are different today, and finding solutions that cost less and are more efficient uses of funds are the norm. That said, there is and will always be the matter of driver behaviour on a road that has sustained many tragic crashes – some due to conditions, but virtually all traceable back to some level of driver error. As on any road, we need to practise safe driving when tackling the Malahat and not let added dividers lull us into a false sense of security. Driving for the conditions is the mantra for this tricky, but very scenic and beautiful stretch of highway – that and always maintaining complete control of your vehicle.

During

those same years, average provincial economic growth was only 4.1 per cent, meaning that under the supposedly tightfisted, tax-cutting Campbell, government continued to grow to more than 20 per cent of gross domestic product. Clark has indicated several times since her surprise election win that she intends to make government smaller. That’s the difference between her “core review” of government programs and the one conducted by Campbell in the painful first years of his mandate. This is why I mentioned last week that one of the more significant instructions given to Clark’s cabinet ministers was to examine turning the Liquor Distribution Branch into a separate corporation with its own board of directors. That in itself may slightly increases the size of government. But it could be a preliminary step to selling the whole thing off and reducing the government’s role to taxing and regulating booze sales. You can imagine how that would go over with the NDP, with former liquor store union boss George Heyman among the loudest opposition MLAs. This is the kind of change that should be debated in public, not by press release. u Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and www.bclocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Senate helps check power of government

Business not part of city’s strengths To the Editor,

To the Editor,

I note that there have been several letters recently recommending the abolishment of the Senate. The authors of these letters should look up what the Senate is supposed to be doing. That is taking a sober second look at proposed legislation and recommending changes that would make the legislation more appropriate for the citizens of Canada to live under. What the public in Canada desperately needs is more senators who have integrity and are not Prime Minister Stephen Harper bootlickers. I fear that Harper will take the opportunity of the Senate scandal as an excuse to try to restrict the powers of the Senate, or abolish it. Since he has stacked the majority of the Senate with his own Conservative loyalists, he does not really have to worry about them blocking any laws he wants to push through Parliament. It must, though, be a bother to him that he even has to have them go through the formalities of also approving his proposed laws. A conscientious and impartial Senate is all we have to prevent a government like Harper’s from running completely amok with no restraints at all. I suggest that some restraint and balance was the intent of the founding fathers of our original constitution.

Spending money on cultural programs and venues, like Nanaimo art Gallery, helps attract people and keep people in Nanaimo, says letter writer.

Culture adds to city’s image To the Editor,

Re: Better use for tax dollars than gallery, Letters, June 29. As the writer cited lack of attendance and better use of city funding such as road and water service, the reader decrying city council’s approval of the Nanaimo Art Gallery expansion is misinformed. I’ve been at the gallery several times where it was so packed I had to step outside to get air and space. In no way does the art gallery take away from funding of city maintenance projects. Council has a budget for maintaining our city and for its expansion and growth as well. To expand they must ensure existing residents stay and prospective new residents and tourists check us out. Nanaimo offers unparalleled beauty and first-class sports and recreation venues. But culturally, what is there to do? A lot more

than there used to be, but we must expand to take advantage of interest from Calgary, Ontario, China and countless other locations from around the world. Art and culture is subjective, some people pay for what others pay to avoid. The trick is to offer as wide a variety of activities and venues as possible. To complain about funding of a cultural activity one doesn’t enjoy is as ridiculous and selfish as demanding the demolition of the ice center because you never learned to skate. The private and government-funded development of art and culture such as comedy, music, dance, theatre events, festivals and an expanded art gallery isn’t just good for business, it’s essential. Last week, our city council recognized this with action, and I thank them for it.

David Hatchman Nanaimo

As a citizen and a taxpayer in Nanaimo I protest that the mayor and city council would offer a 10-year tax-free period to entice a developer to build a new hotel in Nanaimo. We have enough hotels with all the facilities needed. Just think if you were one of the hotel owners in Nanaimo and you have paid your taxes – through all the tough financial times – only to find that the mayor and city council want to use your money to subsidize your competition. My late father had it right when he said, “The city mayor and council should stick to managing the cutting of the grass and picking up the dog excrement.” Business is and always will be beyond their comprehension.

Climate experts should be allowed to speak freely without fear of retribution To the Editor,

Re: World continually ignores scientists’ work at its own peril, Science Matters, June 20. David Suzuki implied that I am a “climate-change denier.” I deny that. I am a denial denier. The only constant about climate is change. It has been changing since the Earth formed and will continue to change until the planet is eventually enveloped by the sun (then, global warming will

be a problem). Thoughtful readers will conclude that Suzuki’s denier label is merely an attempt to discredit scientists who disagree with him about the causes of climate change, instead of discussing the issues they raise. I also deny that climate science is settled. Climate experts know that the science is highly immature. We are in a period of “negative discovery,” in that the more we learn, the

more we realize we do not know. Rather than “remove the doubt,” as Al Gore tells us should be done, we must recognize the doubt in this, arguably the most complex science ever tackled. The confidence expressed by Gore and Suzuki is due to a belief in what professors Chris Essex (University of Western Ontario) and Ross McKitrick (University of Guelph) call the “Doctrine of Certainty.” This

doctrine is “a collection of now familiar assertions about climate that are to be accepted without question.” Essex and McKitrick explain, “But the Doctrine is not true. Each assertion is either manifestly false or the claim to know is false. Climate is one of the most challenging open problems in modern science. Some knowledgeable scientists believe that the climate problem can never be solved.”

Creating rational policy in the face of uncertainty is challenging. So we need climate experts to speak freely without fear of retribution regardless of their points of view. Suzuki must help this come about by engaging in constructive behaviour, not further poisoning the debate.

The Independent Investigations Office sent staff to Nanaimo after a man fell from the Bastion Street Parkade on the weekend. The incident happened at about 2 a.m. Saturday when an RCMP officer on foot patrol found a man standing on a ledge in a parking area on Skinner Street. When the officer announced himself, the man fell almost nine metres and sustained serious head injures. “At this point all indications are that it’s an accidental fall,” said Owen Court, investigations office spokesman. “Our investigation looks at exactly what level of involvement the officer had with him and exactly what the circumstances are surrounding his fall.” The investigations officer was notified at 3:40 a.m. and investigators were sent to Nanaimo at 6:30 a.m. “Over the course of the weekend his condition did improve,” Court said. “That’s the good-news part right now, that he appears to be recovering. I’m not going to say recovered, but significant improvement.”

Health authority earns accolades

EMPLOYEE wins award for work in the community.

The Vancouver Island Health Authority’s dedication to workplace safety was recognized once again. VIHA brought home two awards from the recent Health Employers Association of B.C.’s Excellence in B.C. Healthcare Awards. Its Violence Prevention Task Force was recognized for workplace health innovation, marking the fourth year in a row the health authority has received kudos for workplace safety. As well, Allison Cutler, executive director for population and community health, earned an HEABC Gold Apple in the regional Health Care Hero category. The awards recognize the efforts of healthcare employees who provide quality care and support, and acknowledge excellence and innovation in healthcare throughout the province.

Allison Cutler, VIHA’s executive director for population and community health, earned a Health Employers Association award for regional health care.

“We are very proud of the innovative work done by our Violence Prevention Task Force to protect all patients and staff, and the leadership of Allison Cutler whose passion for providing quality care at the community level continues to benefit patients

in our region,” said Don Hubbard, chairman of Vancouver Island Health. The Task Force team was commissioned to develop comprehensive policies across the region to consistently handle workplace violence. Its stakeholder engagement strategy provided feedback from 80 frontline clinical staff within the health authority. The result is a set of policies that provide practical tools to support staff and leaders to achieve a safe work environment for everyone. Cutler began her career 35 years ago as a public health nurse in Terrace, B.C., gaining insight into how health needed to be delivered at the community level. Her accomplishments include leading integrated primary and community care across Vancouver Island, heading the development of the Nanaimo Regional General Hospital’s new perinatal unit, and establishing youth clinics across central and north Vancouver Island.

sion, a 30-km/h school zone speed limit is in effect between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. During the summer months, speed limits in school zones are only in effect if summer school is in session, but kids often still play around these areas, so drive cautiously at all times. Kids all around – Drivers aren’t used to seeing crowded playgrounds and parks during the day but this all changes in summer. Remember playground speed limits (30 km/h) remain in effect yearround. When driving around playgrounds and parks, observe carefully. Small children are less predictable and harder to see than adults. Watch for clues – In residential areas, a hockey net or ball can mean that children are playing nearby. Remember that a child could dash into the street at any moment. Pay attention and always anticipate the unexpected. Tips for parents to share with children Be a role model –

Parents are the No. 1 role model for their children so make sure to set a good example when teaching them about pedestrian safety. If a child sees a parent jaywalking, they will think it is okay to do and will do the same thing. Make sure to teach a child to cross at intersections that have a pedestrian crossing light or a marked crosswalk whenever possible. Have fun – Make road safety fun.

Pedestrian safety for kids important u From /16 Still treat road safety as a serious issue, but for younger children try a game by having them point out all the traffic signs. Ask if they know what they mean. For older children, remind them to put away their phones and remove their headphones when crossing the road. Focus on the basics – Kids will digest information about serious issues

when it’s kept simple and relevant. Therefore, begin pedestrian safety lessons with the key basics that you learned as a kid, which are still relevant today. A great example is how to cross at intersections: Stop – Before crossing, always stop at the curb. Make sure all vehicles have stopped; Look – Look left and right for oncoming vehicles. Then look again over shoulders for vehi-

cles that might be turning. Teach kids to keep looking for approaching vehicles as they cross; Listen – Listen for approaching traffic that you can’t yet see; Make eye contact – Even if the walk signal is on, teach children to make eye contact with drivers before they cross; Walk – Teach children to walk, never run, when crossing a road.

Artistic journey BY RACHEL STERN

THE NEWS BULLETIN

rts Alive organizers want to take children on a creative excursion into the world of art. The annual summer camp starts Monday (July 8) and runs until July 26. The main focus of Arts Alive is young children but there are also courses for older teens and adults. When the organization was created 28 years ago there weren’t many opportunities for children to get involved in arts activities in the summer, but that has changed over the years, said Michael Wright, Arts Alive administrator. The focus is fun.

“You don’t have to turn out a perfect piece of art it’s not a pressured environment. It’s about having fun,” said Wright. He believes it’s absolutely essential that kids get exposure to the arts. Wright said he doesn’t know where he would be if he wasn’t exposed to art at an early age. He was introduced to music when he was two years old and he plays jazz and big band music. He is also involved in a number of artistic organizations in the community. This year the organization is introducing bundling. It allows families to register children for morning and afternoon courses so they are at camp a full day. Wright said Arts Alive listened to

parent’s concern about not being able to register children if courses were only half a day. “This was done specifically to respond to parent’s requests,” said Wright. “We put in a lot of effort to make courses longer or alternatively bundling them.” Week one courses are Monday (July 8) to July 12. Week two courses are July 15-19. Week three courses are July 22-26. The organization also offers day camps. Courses include watercolours, mixed media, musical theatre, guitar basics, singing essentials and others. For more information about courses please go to http:// nanaimoartsalive.com. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

“

ARTS ALIVE SUMMER CLASSES are available this July in various fine arts disciplines including art, drama and music through Arts Alive. There are weekly courses or one day workshops for children, youth and adults. For more information about camps and workshops or to register please go to www. nanaimoartsalive. com, https://ireg. nanaimo.ca/Start/ Start.asp or call 250756-5200. Upcoming day workshops include: POP STAR FOR A DAY, for ages eight to 12 Monday (July 8). PRINCESS FOR A DAY, for ages five to seven, July 11. BOB ROSS WORKSHOP, for ages 14 and up, July 12. EXPLORING MIXED MEDIA for ages 12 and up, July 15. WATERCOLOUR WORKSHOP for ages 12 and up, July 16.

You don’t have to turn out a perfect piece of art ... it’s about having fun.

EASTERN ART TECHNIQUES for ages 11 and up, July 18. ART BECAUSE IT COUNTS for ages 14 and up, July 19.

Quickfacts

BURSARY GRANTS of up to $50 are available for Arts Alive courses. They are available for families who participate in the City of Nanaimo’s LEAP program. However, people must register by contacting Arts Alive for the grant, not parks, recreation and culture, by calling 250-713-9708.

ARTS ALIVE SUMMER SCHOOL began in 1985 when individuals from the Nanaimo Ladysmith Public Schools District partnered with the City of Nanaimo’s parks, recreation and culture department to see what opportunities were available to create a summer school of fine arts.

Musicians rock for kids By Rachel SteRn the news bulletin

Musicians are rocking out for a good cause Saturday (July 6). Performers are raising money for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Vancouver Island during We Wrawk for Kids, 2-5 p.m., at Headliners School of Performing Arts, located at 2231 McGarrigle Rd. Admission is by donation and the event features performances by Camille Miller, Pat Stewart, Murray Atkinson, Lance Lapointe, Mikaila Tombe, Rock-It Chorus and two Headliners Rock School bands. There will also be a barbecue, prizes, a silent auction and activities for children including face painting and a dress-up station. Miller said she’s been wanting to perform an all-ages concert for a long time and when the opportunity to partner with Manda Chelmak, Headliners School of Performing Arts program director, came up they both worked hard to make it happen. Big Brothers Big Sisters is an organization Miller has supported in the past. During her recent Pledge Music campaign to create her fifth album, Parallel to The Sea, Miller donated any money pledged beyond her goal to the organization. She said it’s because she believes in the importance of having the organization. “Kids need an outlet. They need someone to listen to them. They need to know that whatever they are thinking, no matter how crazy it sounds, that it is valid,” said Miller. She said that some single parents don’t have as much

Coal Miners all set with core pitching staff Quickfacts

NANAIMO COAL MINERS senior men’s baseball team hosts Burnaby teams in home opener at Serauxmen Stadium Saturday and Sunday (July 6-7). Games start at noon and 2:30 p.m. Admission free.

“He’s got phenomenal stuff,” said Dale Ballance, Coal Miners player/manager. “He’s polished, he throws hard, he’s got great stuff and you just want to give him an opportunity to get his work in because he wants to continue [playing].” Ballance said another addition to the staff, Bryan Paw-

lina, is competitive and coming off a strong season with the UBC Thunderbirds. Jay Huggins, who can play at first or third, is another good pickup and returning veterans who will hit in the middle of the order include Ben Cairns and Jeff Vickers. “We always start off slow with our bats and it usually seems to be [Canada Day] weekend when we seem to turn things around a little bit…” Ballance said. “We’ve still got some guys in the lineup that can swing the bat.” GAME ON … Saturday and Sunday’s games at Serauxmen Stadium start at noon and 2:30 p.m. Admission is free.

The Nanaimo Coal Miners are armed and ready. The Cross and Co. Coal Miners senior men’s baseball team will try again this weekend to play its home openers at Serauxmen Stadium. After scheduling problems scuttled games last month, the Miners are hoping to host the Burnaby Bulldogs on Saturday (July 6) and then Burnaby Collegiate on Sunday. The Coal Miners have had some problems with roster numbers this season, but one area where they’re all set is the pitching staff. Steve McKinnon, a former Texas Rangers prospect, is hoping to get in some innings this summer.

The Victoria Shamrocks got the better of the Nanaimo Timbermen in a game where push came to shove. The rival teams met in Western Lacrosse Association action on Saturday night at Frank Crane Arena and the visitors won 15-9 in a feisty affair. The game didn’t get lopsided until the third period, as the Coastal Windows Timbermen closed out the second period on a 4-0 run to deadlock the score at 8-8 through 40 minutes. “A tough one to swallow tonight because we were right there,” said Cayle Ratcliff, T-men alternate captain. Saturday’s matchup was the most physical and chippy of the season so far, as the teams had a couple of fights and also took turns running the opponent’s goalie. “We don’t like each other so we’re going to battle and it’s going to be a physical game,” said Ratcliff. Saturday’s turning point came early in the third period. After some good penalty killing by Nanaimo on a five-on-three, the Timbermen got a power play and surrendered three shorthanded goals. “We have to be better on the raggers,” said Kaleb Toth, Timbermen coach. “We can’t give up three short-handed goals in one shift and it comes down to simple

things, guys just not doing what they do, not cross-checking.” The quick goals got the T-men off their game and they let the Shamrocks spin off checks and get prime shooting lanes. “We have to contest them, we have to hit them, we have to make sure that we’re always keeping them busy,” Toth said. “It’s as simple as putting your stick on theirs.” One of the frustrating aspects of Saturday’s loss for the T-men was that losing those one-on-one battles and the races for loose balls had them questioning their effort. “With our team there’s no excuses for being outworked and we were outworked tonight,” Ratcliff said. He led the way with four goals for the T-men, Cody Bremner had two goals and three assists and Myles Dennett scored a pair. Blake Kenny added a goal and three assists. Zak Boychuk suffered the loss and Paul Brebber and Braden Kmita had fights. Jeff Shattler had four goals for the Shamrocks, Corey Small had three goals and three helpers and Rhys Duch scored twice. Scott Ranger missed the game due to injury. Toth said the Timbermen would address their mistakes at Tuesday’s practice and then try to forget about the game. “All you can do is put it behind you and practise hard … and try to be better for the next game,” he said. “And that’s what I hope we do.” GAME ON … The Timbermen (4-8) play the Maple Ridge Burrards (6-4) on Saturday (July 6) at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Lawn bowler adds B.C. title Nanaimo’s top lawn bowler won’t just be playing for himself, or his teammate, but also for two big fans. Hirendra Bhartu won the Bowls B.C. men’s pairs championship last month, teaming with West Vancouver’s Tim Mason to take gold in Victoria and earn a berth at nationals. Bhartu and Mason won a national championship in men’s pairs in 2006 but hadn’t been playing together in recent summers. Then West Van got awarded the national tournament and Mason signed on as the event’s chairman and invited his parents to come from Ontario to watch. “[They] are very enthusiastic about bowls…” said Bhartu. “So I said, ‘Hmm. It would be nice if we could play.’” The two friends gave it another go at provincials and succeeded, winning all but one game and finishing with a convincing victory in the final. Bhartu said it was a good feeling to win, and said it wasn’t difficult to get used to bowling with Mason again. “It was easy because me and Tim are buddies,” he said. “Though we haven’t bowled [lately], the chemistry is never a problem.” Nationals will be held Aug. 18-24.

Low-scoring Pirates swept The Nanaimo Pirates keep running into the same problem lately. The Hub City Paving Pirates baseball team didn’t get timely hits to support their pitchers, and they got swept by the Abbotsford Cardinals on the road on Saturday. Nanaimo lost 1-0 in extra innings and then dropped the rematch 3-2. The eighth-inning loss in the opener spoiled a great outing from starting pitcher Luke Skingle, who threw 7 2/3 innings, allowing one run and striking out four. Alex Rogers led the Pirates at the plate, going 2-for-3. The next game the Pirates had eight hits, twice as many as the Cards, but they still came out on the wrong end on the scoreboard. Starter Alex Rogers went six innings, allowing four hits and one earned run while striking out six. Zach Diewert was 2-for-2 at the dish with two walks, Shawn Arabsky was 2-for-4 and Braeden Mousseau had a hit and two walks. GAME ON … The premier Pirates hosted the Parksville Royals on Wednesday after press time and travel to play the North Delta Blue Jays on Sunday (July 7).

A bouquet to assistant editor Chris Hamlyn. Thank you for years of reporting with great integrity, diligence, wit, and accuracy. Your high standard of professionalism will be missed in Nanaimo. Best wishes on your new endeavours. A big Forget-Me-not bouquet to the very patient technicans at Shaw (especially to Ian, from Nanaimo). I appreciate your help, and for not feeling stupid after the plug to my modem became disconnected. I thought it was because we had a power cut. A bouquet to the swimmer in the white cap who moved from the fast lane into the medium lane when he realized he wasn’t as quick as the other swimmers in the lane. Thanks for following the rules and demonstrating proper pool etiquette. A bouquet of stoplights to the drivers at St. George Street and the Island Highway Wednesday evening.

A bouquet to the young guy who works in the Wal-Mart dry foods department. Always very friendly and helpful every time I’m in there.

A generositY bouquet. My friend and I decided to take our labradoodle for a walk down Bay Street. We met a very nice couple working in their garden in the front yard. We complimented them regarding their beautiful hanging plants. They invited us to their backyard which was gorgeous. Between the flowers was a rhubarb plant that I noticed. The lady asked if I would like some – living in a condo, I was ecstatic. She left the rhubarb on the front step and when we returned from our walk from the ocean we picked up the rhubarb. I made rhubarb crisp and my husband is still smacking his lips. A thoughtFul bouquet. After we continued walking down the hill on Bay Street, we met two senior ladies who were walking up the hill. We had a lovely conversation discussing the fact that it is a long way up the hill. All of a sudden a young man appeared with two chairs and said, “Have a seat and rest ladies and I will pick up the

A bouquet to Travis and his team at Kal Tire on Old Victoria Road for fixing my flat tire without an appointment and quickly. And for not trying to sell me something I didn’t need. big bouquets oF rAinbows for David Haughton from Telus for his friendly, professional and efficient service when installing our landline for our new house in Nanaimo. Haughton called before our appointment to remind me (I had forgotten) and to ask me if I would like to add any further services to my account. I was very impressed and would highly recommend him in any of his endeavours. A bouquet oF roses to Scott from The Buzz coffee shop who chased after a motorhome that backed into my car in a north-end parking lot and took off. He caught up to the culprit in another parking lot, took pictures and got all of the necessary information, then returned to where I was parked and waited an hour for me so that he could pass on this information. A knight in shining armour. A bouquet oF thAnks to Pryde Vista Golf Course for the two free passes that they gave us for

our 10th annual Family Tournament held in June. They were given as a prize and were much appreciated. Also a huge bouquet of flowers to Kelsey for cooking a ham and roast beef and making and decorating two cakes. Thanks a bunch. A grAduAtion gown bouquet to all those parents who have raised Honour Students in our community. You should be proud. That is what you have done lately. A thAnk You bouquet to Chad Green of Swale Rock Fishing Charter for an amazing Nanaimo fishing adventure. After seven years of living in Nanaimo I finally got a chance to fish for salmon and eat beautiful fresh crab. Will do next year for sure. A heAlthY bouquet to the doctors, nurses and other employees in our hospital’s emergency for their excellent caring for their patients. A big dAncing And druMMing bouquet of thanks to all who gave their support in so many ways to our fourth annual Bellydance Bazaar. Together we raised $2,000 for Haven Society. Thanks everyone.

business for many years in this city and has had almost no staff turnover because he is a great employer and provides a wonderful carpet cleaning service. We use him for our home and business and recommend him to all we know. We love our clean carpets. A thAnk You For Your considerAtion bouquet to the neighbours who let us know about the wedding party and the loud music. The music was great and everything was quiet at the time you said. Very best wishes to the happy couple. A beeF to the people on Crystal Place with the two yappy dogs that bark from 6 a.m. until 11:30 p.m. Give us a break. beeFs oF injustice to Nanaimo city council. There are many schools, seniors complexes, residential homes and businesses that are not going to be able to withstand an earthquake. Tear all those down and rebuild if you are concerned about safety. A broken phone beeF to the man who video taped his neighbor being carried away on a stretcher. His young wife was terrified. Did you not have the decency to see if she was OK? A beeF to the writer who wants to see more young women in short shorts. It’s people like you who motivate me to wear capris and baggy shorts all summer – I don’t like to be stared at. A beeF to the person who threw a tin can in the garbage rather than make the effort to recycle. Don’t you listen to the environmentalists? The world is already going to hell and you insist on hastening its descent. A big pile of rancid rabbit pellets to whoever stole the rabbits from the 4-H Beban Barnyard. One has to wonder what kind of sick person would steal a mother rabbit and her baby bunnies from a children’s petting farm.

This Week’s Winner JAE VALENTINE wins a bouquet from Turley’s Florist.

GIBSON, Ronald James 1939 - 2013 We are deeply saddened to announce the loss of Ronald James Gibson, loving husband, treasured father and friend to many. He passed peacefully on June 26, 2013 at the age of 74 with the love of his family around him. He is survived by his wife, Betty Lou Gibson (nee Austin) and four children, Debra Lynn Gibson, Shelly Lee Cochrane (Albert), Wade Robert Gibson (Michael Rudd) and Todd Ronald Gibson (Carol Hunt). He was so strong and courageous throughout his illness and his sense of humor never wavered and helped his family continue to go on each day by his side. We thank him for so many things he taught us, the memories and being the family man he was. He was “our rock” and we will miss him greatly. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to The Canadian Diabetes Association.

Guy Darwin 1935 ~ 2013

Guy was born in Oak Bay, Quebec, October 8, 1935 and passed away June 24, 2013. He is survived by his loving wife of 43 years, Glenna; sister, Sunseerie in the U.S., Keli (Ray) of Campbell River; six grandchildren: Dax, Savannah, Cody, Courtney, Grace and Lindsey, as well as many nieces and nephews. Guy served in the R.C.A.F. For 10 years, worked in management A.M.A. Edmonton, and opened McKinnon Driving School & Safety Services in 1974. In 1980 he moved the family to Nanaimo, BC and worked in sales. In 1991 we moved to Gabriola and planned to travel in the winter and live in our 5th wheel all year round. He found out a few years later he would have to go on dialysis, which he started in 2000. Meantime, he built our home and enjoyed the beaches, campfires, carving, view of the ocean and incredible sunsets. Guy also enjoyed hunting and fishing. In 2002 we relocated back to Nanaimo so it would make having his treatments more convenient; he lived on dialysis 13 years. When his health started to fail, he made the courageous decision to quit the treatments; he survived 6 days. When we saw him sleeping so peacefully and free of pain, we could not wish him back to suffer any more. A special thanks to all the wonderful nurses and staff at the Estevan Dialysis Clinic, to Dr. Booth who was so kind and caring, Dr. Weir of Victoria, family and friends, and Aimee. At Guy's request there will be no service. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Kidney Foundation or Muscular Dystrophy Canada would be appreciated.

TRADES, TECHNICAL

It is with great sadness that the family of Mildred Enns announces the passing of our Mother, Sister, Grandmother and Friend on Friday, June 28th at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. Mildred is survived by husband, Peter; daughter, Donna; son, Bob (Linda); sister, Eleanor and grandchildren, Curtis (Ginette) and Jennifer (Geoff), and their mother, Hazel and four great grandchildren. Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Mildred met and married Peter. They raised their family to appreciate the outdoors with many fun-filled camping trips and family excursions. A terrific cook, talented artist and avid gardener, these are just a few of the many talents we have learned from her. In 1988, Mom and Dad began their second great adventure together, to join their daughter and move to Nanaimo. Here they met many new friends and spent much of their retirement discovering Vancouver Islandâ€™s many wonderful hideaways. Loved ones and friends of Mildred are invited to join us at the Brechin United Church in Nanaimo, Wednesday, July 10th at 2:00 p.m. for services.
