Judge dismisses injunction ahead of Colliery protest I

allOWS CiTy to bring request back with 24 hours’ notice. By Jenn M c garrigle ThE NEwS BULLETiN

A B.C. Supreme Court judge has dismissed the City of Nanaimo’s application for an anticipatory injunction to prevent citizens from potentially delaying work to remove two dams at Colliery Dam Park. But Judge Douglas Thompson has also allowed for the matter to return to court quickly should problems arise. The city decided last month to take pre-emptive action to thwart the possibility of civil disobedience at the park before it begins by filing for a court injunction after Dave Cutts, president of the Dam Direct Action Group, said in May he planned to organize a group of people to occupy the lower dam. His words followed council’s decision to remove the dams in July and then replace them next year. Thursday’s hearing and Friday morning’s decision were attended by dozens of people in support of keeping the dams. An injunction would put those who do gather and attempt to delay work to remove the two dams in contempt of court, resulting in a possible court date and trial for each person arrested.

During the proceedings, Thompson said people should be given the opportunity to obey the law without being whacked over the head with an injunction before any laws have been broken. While he did not grant an anticipatory injunction, he did grant leave for the city to bring forward an injunction application with one day’s notice against anyone who breaches the city’s parks bylaw. Outside the court, Cutts’s lawyer, Dominique Roelants, called the ruling “pretty close to a win” in that the anticipatory injunction was not granted, adding the judge noted that people are allowed to protest the city’s decision in ways that do not break any laws. “People still have the right to have their voices heard,” he said. “There are still creative ways within the law that may be used.” In his decision, Thompson read out parts of an affidavit sworn by Cutts in which he pledged to do what he could to change the city’s decision within the confines of the law and to protest in non-violent, law-abiding ways. Cutts told the media that he’s not quitting the cause, but taking a different approach. “There are other people who will make their own decisions about what action to take,” he said, adding that he has to meet with other members of the group to decide on the next course of action. u See ‘DECISION’ /4

Dragon boaters make waves at festival By CHriS BuSH ThE NEwS BULLETiN

Wind heaved the harbour, but failed to founder the 2013 Save-On-Foods Nanaimo Dragon Boat Festival over the weekend. The event, which drew 71 teams and an estimated 14,000 spectators, dragon boat team members and supporters over the weekend, got off to a bumpy start, but still generated plenty of action. “Unfortunately we had weather problems on Satur-

day after the opening ceremony,” said Heiko Behn, Nanaimo Dragon Boat Festival Society chairman. “We just thought it was too windy so we cancelled the afternoon races. Then we carried on Sunday and we managed to get everybody in.” Dropping Saturday’s heats meant the teams competed in six races each – 60 heats in all – instead of eight heats as originally scheduled. “One thing we don’t control is the weather and we just decided it was too dangerous,” Behn said. “They might

have survived, but why risk dumping a whole bunch of people into the water?” Winners of Sunday’s heats will move on to the 2013 Dragon Boat Nationals at Elk Lake in Victoria August 21-24. Moving the race course to deeper water helped avoid dragon boats running aground and future races will follow the new course layout. “There was a little consternation initially because it was a change from what we’ve done, but it worked out marvellously,” Behn said. u See ‘MONEY’ /3

Triathlon goes to dogs

triruff k9 Xterra training underway.

By Beth hendry-yim The News BulleTiN

Given the choice between finding a sport to play regularly and recurring back pain, Del Beaulac pulled out her ‘go big or go home’ attitude and opted to train for a triathlon, with a bit of a twist. Instead of entering a local planned event, she decided to organize one herself that included her dog. “After months of physiotherapy for low back pain, my therapist suggested

I find a sport that would maintain my conditioning and strength,” said Beaulac. “I couldn’t take my dog in Tough Mudder, so opted for the TriRuffK9 Xterra.” An off road endurance event, the TriRuffK9 has handlers and their canine partners biking 12 kilometres, running 6km and swimming 300 metres, side by side. Taking place at Westwood Lake on Sept. 21, it not only promises to challenge athletes physically but it also tests the relationship between handler and dog. “It’s a real test of the trust built in a canine team,” said Beaulac. Echo, Beaulac’s

eight-year-old Belgian shepherd, is more accustomed to the show ring and cushy couches, but has taken to training with an enthusiastic wag of the tail and tonguehanging excitement. “She didn’t like the swimming at first, but with conditioning and trust building she’ll now follow commands in the water and stay swimming beside me.” The course follows trails around the lake and was designed with the dogs’ safety a priority. A section heading outside the park boundaries will be off-leash, but inside the park borders dogs will once again be attached to their handlers. Beaulac said this means that dogs need to be comfortable running beside the bike and swimming with their handlers. Local vet Karen Karsten helped prepare a set of health criteria rules for the dogs and requires a vet to examine and sign off on the health

of the dog. She also requested a minimum of two vet checks on the course to ensure dogs’ foot pads and heart rate were OK. “Checkpoints will be manned by volunteers and vet technicians,” said Beaulac. “They’ll provide an experienced eye to check dogs’ stress levels. If a dog looks overheated, handlers will be required to take a break to rest the dog.” Beaulac and Echo don’t train alone. Jon

Wengel, of Full On Fitness, a sports performance specialist and sponsor of the event, coaches Beaulac with a group of six 40-60-year-old women and their dogs. “Some of the women had never ridden a bike before,” said Wengel. “We went from basic training to more specific fitness building.” The rules, vet check and training tips can be found at www. triruffK9.com. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

City council votes on potential hotel

David Cox rides Island tip-to-tip to raise money for research into multiple sclerosis By GreG Sakaki The News BulleTiN

He’s got a reason to ride, and that’s why he can make it so many kilometres every day. Victoria’s David Cox is on the home stretch of his Van Isle Ride to End MS, having passed through Nanaimo on Friday. The 67-year-old has been participating in charity rides for 20 years now in hopes of supporting those trying to find a cure for multiple sclerosis. That first year he rode, out in Ontario, he was nervous about the idea of asking for pledges as he sought to raise $250. Shortly after, his niece was diagnosed with MS. “It made it very personal,” said Cox. “Because it had become more personal it was a lot easier to [ask for money].” After retiring to B.C., he became more ambitious in his fundraising and in 2009 he set off on his first Island-wide bike trip. His determination was tested that summer, as he came close to hypothermia on one rainy stretch of high-

way near Port Hardy. The thought of quitting crossed his mind, but he continued. “Because I had to. I said I would. People donated money. There was an objective in mind,” he said. “I could have called my wife and said, ‘Come and get me.’ But that’s not the way I’m built. When I say I’m going to do something, I do it.” He cycles alone with his wife checking up on him every so often in her car, but the Van Isle ride is not necessarily a solo effort. He’s received a fair amount of media attention this year, he said, which has boosted support, and at last count his ride had raised $4,200. Up and down the Island people have offered encouragement. At Elk Falls provincial park, for example, the campground was full, but a ranger who had read about Cox’s efforts made an exception and found him a place to pitch a tent for the night. He makes it 100-150 kilometres per day and said the physical challenge of the ride has gotten a little harder as he’s gotten

A land sale deal to build a major hotel downtown went before Nanaimo city council Monday night. A staff report recommends that council approve in principle the sale of city-owned land at 100 Gordon St. to SSS Manhao International Tourism Group, a B.C. affiliate of China’s Suzhou Youth Travel Services, for development of a conference centre hotel. The land would be purchased for $565,000. Next to the Vancouver Island Conference Centre, the 0.17 hectare piece of land will be used by SSS Manhao to construct a 17-floor, 197-room hotel at an estimated cost of $50 million. A draft agreement with the company hinges on a number of conditions, including a parking agreement for up to 190 spaces from the conference centre parkade at $95 per month; an option for the city to buy the property back at the original purchase price if SSS Manhao does not obtain a foundation permit and construct the foundation within 18 months of acceptance of the offer; a development covenant that requires the hotel to be built within three years and requires the hotel to be maintained at a four-diamond rating or higher; and easement documents for the company to construct an overhead walkway from the hotel to the conference centre and a walkway from the hotel to Piper Park. The company will also take advantage of a 10-year tax exemption council passed to lure investors to build on the site. Bill Corsan, the city’s manager of real estate, said if council gives its approval in principle, a notice of disposition will be published in local newspapers for the next two weeks and the deal will return to city council on July 22 for final approval. “All work associated with finalizing the deal gets underway in two weeks’ time,” he said. Suzhou Youth Travel Services is ranked 13th on China’s list of top 100 travel agencies and was one of the first international travel service providers to be approved by the Chinese State Tourism Administration. SSS Manhao is developing a business plan for a new tour route from Vancouver to Vancouver Island that includes an overnight stay at the proposed Nanaimo hotel. The company claims that an estimated 70,000 tourists would be brought through Nanaimo annually, generating about $35 million in revenue for the local economy and creating more than 500 jobs. Council’s vote on the proposed hotel deal happened after press deadline Monday. For the results of the vote, please see Thursday’s edition of the News Bulletin or visit www.nanaimobulletin.com.

Software helps find efficient bus routes Nanaimo school officials are buying software that will help the district plan more efficient busing routes. Trustees decided at a board meeting last month to spend up to $50,000 left over from this year’s transportation budget on the software. The decision is the result of a recommendation made in a transportation review conducted earlier this year. Pete Sabo, the district’s direc-

tor of planning and operations, said the system designs efficient routes based on all of the variables, such as bell times. “It helps us integrate the bus schedule with the school operations, making sure we’ve got the least amount of cost with the best service,” he said. “It really is a choreographed system where the computer can help you find efficiencies that it takes a while for humans to figure out.”

Decision gives city options u From /1 Randy Churchill, the city’s manager of bylaw and security, said the decision gives the city the tools to deal with anyone who attempts to prevent or interfere with the removal of the dams, as the city can come back with 24 hours notice to seek an injunction, which is much more powerful than writing out tickets and working with the RCMP to arrest people on an individual basis. He said to have the ability to go back to the courts and seek an injunction on short notice is important because there is a small window of opportunity to do the work – it must be done when the water flow is lowest, but before spawning season in the fall – and if an injunction application was not made until someone breached the bylaw, the process to obtain one could take weeks. “The key is the court recognizes the seriousness of what we’re trying to do,” said Churchill, adding that any delay would cost the city an estimated $10,000 to $15,000 per day. At least one person attending the hearing was unhappy with the decision. Jim Erkiletian, who described himself as a member of both Cutts’s group and the Colliery Dam Preservation Society, said the city already has a bylaw in place and an injunction would be an extra law. “It’s unfortunate the judge has decided that the city qualifies for an injunction as well as their own bylaws,” he said. “If a person breaks a city bylaw, it doesn’t mean he’s in contempt of court.” Erkiletian said he is willing to climb a tree and risk his life to protect that area of the forest. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

The victim gave him an undisclosed amount of cash before she was able to distract him, flee from the alley and call for help.

A woman was seriously injured and will require longterm treatment following a robbery attempt at knifepoint early Thursday. Police were called at about 4:20 a.m. to respond to a robbery in the 100 block of Nicol Street. A woman had been walking in an alley and had stopped to light a cigarette when a man approached and asked for her lighter. When she passed it to him,

The suspect is described as Caucasian, in his mid 20s, with a thin build, and buzz cut, dark, sandy blonde hair. He was wearing dark clothing. “The investigation is in its early stages and police hope to be able to release more information next week,” Armstrong said. Anyone with information about this incident or the suspect is asked to call Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 or online at www. nanaimocrimestoppers.com.

Capital Program to complete the project. However, the regional district is not installing the line this summer and the district asked that another project – a boiler upgrade project at McGirr Elementary School – be approved in its place. The province agreed and the board approved the project at its meeting last month. Pete Sabo, the district’s director of planning and operations, said the Carbon Neu-

tral Capital Program grant needed to be spent by March 31, so the district decided it would be wise to move forward with another project. The McGirr boiler upgrade is expected to cost almost $220,000 and reduce carbon emissions by about 15.7 tonnes per year and save the district about $4,500 annually. Sabo said the province told the district that it can re-apply to do the Hammond Bay project another year.

Firefighters extinguish small landfill blazes Hot weather might have helped heat up garbage heaps at Nanaimo Regional Landfill where firefighters tackled three small fires. Nanaimo Fire Rescue was called out by landfill security staff July 1 shortly before 6 p.m. to put out what Ennis Mond, Nanaimo Fire Rescue fire prevention officer, described as a minor fire on the face of one of the landfill’s

exposed refuse piles. Firefighters were called back July 2 to douse a fire near the location of the first fire. Landfill staff assisted firefighters by excavating the pile to make sure the fire was thoroughly soaked, but it required a third visit from fire crews. Mond said all three fires were minor in nature and it is unknown what started the initial fire.

Propane safety emphasized in summer The driver of a car on Arbot Road got a scare when a propane cylinder she left in her car started venting gas June 29. The woman, who had forgotten to take the cylinder out of her car after having it filled, called the fire department when she discovered the propane cylinder venting inside the vehicle. Firefighters arrived to find the cylinder still venting, removed it from the car and released a small amount of propane from

the cylinder until the venting stopped. “The crews figured (the cylinder) was overfilled, but it was a pretty hot day too,” said Ennis Mond, Naniamo Fire Rescue fire prevention officer. “So with the sun, the heat and being overfilled, it would definitely cause that.” Mond said transporting propane cylinders inside enclosed vehicles is dangerous and should never be done.

Mutch, formerly a commercial sports, wedding and product photographer, and founder of Sand Sculpture Canada, is hired to create his masterpieces at major events such as the 2010 Winter Olympics and major businesses and organizations around the world. He recently returned to Canada from a commission at the Helsinki Zoo in Finland. “I love doing this and I get paid to do it,” Mutch said. “It doesn’t get much better than that.” The complex and delicate shapes carved from the packed sand are held together simply by adding water and compressing the sand in moulds as the basic form of the structure is built up. The compressed sand can hold its shape for weeks if left undisturbed. Mutch said for outdoor sculptures he will spray a thin layer of diluted white glue for protection from the elements. “Just like the paint doesn’t hold up a house, the glue only adds some mild protection from rain and wind,” Mutch said. The sculpture, intended as a fun summer event for Woodgrove Centre as well as a promotion for the Quality Foods Canadian Open Sand Sculpting Competition and Exhibition in Parksville July 13 to Aug. 18, will remain on display at the mall until July 28. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Plenty of crab to eat during food festival By Beth hendry-yim The News BulleTiN

The season is open and Crabfest 2013 promises to bring home a bountiful catch plus local beer and wine, and a blast from the past with rock ’n’ roll band, The Centaurs. Hosted by SeaFood4Life, the event will be held at owner Kim Mauriks’s, farm on Northwest Bay Road July 20, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. “We’ve got 145 acres,” said Mauriks. “Holding it on the farm is less complicated and we can make it family friendly. We’re even timing the hay harvest so we can give the kids hayrides.” Long-time fisherman and crab supplier to Thrifty Foods, Mauriks added that last year the festival, slated for September, was cancelled due to a lack of the most important CRaBfESt takes place ingredient, crabs. July 20, 11 a.m. to “Peak crabbing 5 p.m., at Northwest season is the end Bay Ranch. of June, so we changed the date and the venue. We’ll have plenty of crab to go around.” Crabs aren’t the only item on the menu though. Longwood Brew Pub will be manning a beer garden, Backyard Vineyards will be supplying local B.C. wine, there will be corn, coleslaw and bread, plus Thrifty Foods will be roasting up free hotdogs and pouring lemonade for the kids, all served up with a good helping of retro music. A professional B.C. recording band from the ’60s, the Centaurs have reformed and will be playing live songs from the Beatles, Rolling Stones, the Doors, their own album and more. A portion of the $30 ticket price will be donated to Moorecroft Regional Park. Volunteers for the park will have a booth set up with information and fundraising items for purchase. Mauriks said the festival looks like it will be a big success. With more than 3,000 likes on their Facebook page and support from the community, he feels the 475 tickets will move fast. “Good food, good music, good scenery,” said Mauriks. “What else do you need?” For tickets or information on Crabfest 2013 visit www.northwestbayranch.com.

Parents hope baby’s legacy helps others

fuNdRaiSER helps pay for monitor.

By Beth hendry-yim The News BulleTiN

Organizers of the Jesse’s Gift fundraiser know exactly what they will do with money raised in memory of Jesse Darlene Shanahan – buy equipment for the neonatal intensive care unit of the Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. Born nine weeks premature at two pounds, 12 ounces, Jesse died at just six weeks old. She leaves behind parents Sherri and Mike and older sister Marlee. Her death was sudden and unexpected. “She was amazingly beautiful,” her mother said. “She never cried and had a special spark about her.” Though the loss of a beautiful little baby is heart wrenching, Jesse isn’t moving on without leaving a legacy. For the first five weeks and four days of her life, Jesse spent her time between the Nanaimo and Victoria NICUs. While in Victoria, her parents stayed at Jeneece Place, a residence for parents traveling to Victoria for their child’s medical care. Their 10-day stay left a lasting impression on Jesse’s mother.

Sherri Shanahan holds baby Jesse in the hospital with baby’s father, Mike, and sister Marlee. Jesse, born premature, died suddenly at home at just six weeks old. Her family and friends are raising money to buy a central baby monitor for Nanaimo Regional General Hospital.

“I was amazed that one girl, Jeneece Edroff, could accomplish such an amazing feat in fundraising and decided if she could, we could, too,” said Shanahan. A nurse herself in the emergency department of NRGH, Shanahan understands the constant and ever-evolving need for equipment, so in Jesse’s name started raising money to purchase a central monitor, a piece of equipment that will provide nurses with another tool for monitoring infants. “We received an incredible level of care at the NICU in Nanaimo and wanted to show how grateful

we were,” said Shanahan. “The monitor will allow nurses to check in with each baby even when they are tending another infant.” The cost of the machine is a hefty $60,000. “When I heard the price tag my heart sank,” said Shanahan. “But I got a real boost when the

Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation said they would kick in half of the cost up to $30,000.” The Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation, which fundraises to buy added equipment at the hospital, wanted to help after seeing the family’s strength, resilience and determination. The NICU at NRGH draws infants from all over Vancouver Island and the unit is 80-per cent full or more at all times. To date Jesse’s Gift has raised more than $13,500, with $6,000 of it coming from her celebration of life service. Shanahan said it’s helped to have an account

set up at the three local Scotiabanks in Jesse’s name but that social media has played a major role in helping grow her daughter’s legacy. “We have a fundrazr.com account that’s raised over $5,000 and our Facebook page, Jesse’s Gift, has attracted more than 250 likes. People from as far away as the States are giving,” said Shanahan. “Some anonymously while others share their reasons.” She added that the stories behind why people are donating vary but all have a common theme – one that she and her family firmly believe. “What’s important in life is helping others,” she said. “It isn’t about stuff we accumulate, it’s about making life better for others.” Jesse’s older sister, four-year-old, Marlee, is getting that lesson too. “She’s learning how important giving back is and is excited about turning over the big cheque.” Jesse’s legacy is a message of paying it forward her parents hope will continue, even after the monitor is purchased.

Living dinosaurs discussed at international conference By Beth hendry-yim The News BulleTiN

Living dinosaurs are on the agenda at the 7th International Symposium on Sturgeon and experts from around the globe are converging at the Vancouver Island Conference Center from July 21-25 to discuss the fate of the fish. Sturgeon, an ancient fish, largely unchanged for 160 million years, are in peril. The symposium, co-hosted by Vancouver Island University and the City of Nanaimo, is held every four years by the World Sturgeon Conservation Society. It draws together more than 300 scientists, policy makers and industry representatives to discuss sturgeon research and topics critical to conser-

vation and restoration efforts. “Great efforts are underway to conserve and in many cases rescue these valuable fish,” said Don Tillapaugh, conference chairman and director of VIU’s International Centre for Sturgeon Studies. “A vibrant industry is developing and producing sturgeon products without dependence on wild populations.” Sturgeon aquaculture is a growing sector with a global market. The meat is worth up to three times that of salmon and caviar serves a hungry ethnic and high-end market with a healthy price tag. VIU’s connections with award winning white surgeon caviar goes back 13 years. Eggs and fry from VIU’s captive Fraser River white stur-

Target, whose caviar is sold under the Northern Divine label not only became the first caviar recommended as a ‘green’ choice by the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Seafood Watch and SeaChoice

program, but is also the only certified organic white sturgeon caviar sold in North America and was ranked as one of the top five sustainable caviars in the world. Workshops and discussion forums at the symposium will focus on a variety of topics from managing current stock to regulations for trade and conservation. Rick Hansen, founding chairman of the Fraser River Sturgeon Conservation Society who has been at the helm for award-winning research programs, public awareness, and recovery plans for the Fraser River white sturgeon population, will deliver a keynote address and Shawn A-in-chut Atleo, VIU chancellor, will present an opening speech on First Nations and Tribal American sturgeon-related

initiatives. Participants will have an opportunity to take part in a First Nations traditional feast in a longhouse with dancers and storytelling, tours of VIU’s Deep Bay Marine Field Station in Bowser, the sturgeon centre at the Nanaimo campus and a marine tour of Baynes Sound, the channel between Denman Island and Vancouver Island.

EDITORIAL

Terrorism plot should scare us Amid the Canada Day celebrations this month, Vancouver Island suddenly found itself joined to the rarefied club of Canadian locations targeted for a terrorist attack. If the suspects had slipped under the radar and detonated pressure-cooker bombs outside the legislature during Victoria’s Canada Day celebrations, it could have been the worst terrorist attack in history on Canadian soil. Instead, the B.C. RCMP were able to announce two arrests. RCMP assert both of the Canadian born-and-raised suspects were “self-radicalized” by al-Qaida influence. Whether this pair tried to copycat the pressure-cooker Boston bombings, were angry anti-government types, or were interested in promoting an Islamic caliphate in line with al-Qaida goals (or none of the above), the fact their alleged plot was identified, infiltrated and hijacked by RCMP agents is a testament to why Canada needs intelligence agencies. Organizations like the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, which tipped off the provincial RCMP to the plot, and RCMP anti-terrorism departments, almost always operate behind the scenes to ferret out domestic terrorism. It’s hard to know how many credible terror plots have been halted in Canada. Beyond oil pipeline bombings in the past, police and intelligence agencies have quashed an alleged plot to blow up a Via passenger train between Toronto and New York, and the so-called Toronto 18 group plotted to blow up targets across southern Ontario with fertilizer bombs. The foiled Victoria bombing can be seen as a wake-up call that terrorism is a reality in this country, and attacks on civilians are not an “if” but a “when.” This is also an opportunity for a national conversation on the bounds of domestic surveillance – what will people tolerate to ensure agencies have the resources to keep Canadians safe?

Fish prices are rising due to increased demand, especially from China, so there will be increased costs as well as fraud and health concerns. If you are not lucky enough to go fishing, I recommend visiting the farmers’ markets and developing relationships with fisher folk there. You can drop in at St. Jean’s Cannery on 10th Street. And sometimes there is fish sold on the Nanaimo dock if the working boats are still there.

Carbon tax dollars could go to dam project To the Editor,

Re: Decision on dams about compromise, Letters, June 29. I rarely pay attention to the fine print but I did happen to read a sign on a recent fuel fill up at the local gas station. The sign on the pump was a pie chart of costs. Every time we pay for fuel a large percentage of that money goes to the carbon footprint deal. This is where our local hard-earned money gets redirected to Victoria where the 10th-level politicians decide where to spend it. It is time for Premier Christy Clark to visit Nanaimo and recognize our park asset as an investment into the future. It would be a good opportunity for the pre-

mier to do what she does best by showing up in Nanaimo and showing us the vote was worth something. The carbon taxes that we pay at the pump need to come back to Nanaimo to be spent wisely on our own micro green energy improvement. And I ask myself, “Where is the David Suzuki Foundation?” Their objective is to lobby for clean energy projects, scientific recognition and improved habitat for wildlife. The Colliery dams could be rebuilt as a classroom for micro energy generation and salmonid enhancement. The money that is required to rebuild the park should be coming from existing carbon tax

funding. Other funding is available depending on what other assets are optioned such as salmonid enhancement or First Nations interests. We in Nanaimo are complacent with watching the big cities getting more than the lion’s share of tax money for developing billion-dollar bridges. Are we failing to apply for our share of the pie? I think so. Matt James Nanaimo

Current dam plan feels too rushed To the Editor,

Re: Colliery Dam Park Attempting to rip the dams out this summer is not about securing safety for our citizens. Since June of 2012 when

the results of the inundation study were first known, the dams have been considered stable. There is no reason to remove the dams this summer without respectful and inclusive dialogue with all stakeholders. Not only is it not about safety but it goes against the expressed requests of our community and that of First Nations. Going to court to get an injunction against our citizens goes against everything that we find sacred. We do not live in a Third World country and should expect that basic democratic rights and freedoms be respected. Our community has worked diligently to follow due process and there is no need for

strong-arm tactics. If we are afforded the respect and rights of inclusion in this process there should be no need for any legal manoeuvres. We have always advocated for safety, as well as a respectful process. The current rush to remove the dams is not about safety. The city was aware for the last decade that work was needed to upgrade the dams. Leaving the dams for the following year would allow for a successful process. Our community wants an inclusive and respectful process. There are good reasons to slow down the process and make sure we do this right. Jeff Solomon Nanaimo

Abundant food source out there, just hopping around To the Editor,

Having considered the deer and rabbit issue further, I have come to a solution which I think resolves the problem neatly: culling the deer and rabbit populations in our neighborhoods and making the meat available to residents. It would provide a local source of meat that is sustainable, nonmedicated and reared in a manner in keeping with the organic meat standards set out by the Standards Council of Canada. While it would probably not be a good idea to have local residents hunting deer and rabbits in town, it would provide a chance for us to teach hunting to generations of young people who have largely not had the opportunity to learn such skills. Instead, the hunting could be handled by a select few and conducted in a safe and approved manner, and residents could then butcher their own meat, so at least the skill of butchering a carcass can be taught. While this idea might seem provocative, it is very much in line with current trends to source locally grown food, and move away from the massive factory farms where livestock is drugged with growth hormones, medicated with antibiot-

ics, and reared and slaughtered in deplorable conditions. By hunting the deer and rabbits in our neighborhoods we reduce their populations and the damage they cause; reduce the hazard to vehicles and resultant injuries from

accidents; and we get a local, natural and seemingly plentiful food source, and the opportunity to learn the skills of hunting and butchering our own meat again.

Separation idea just ‘ludicrous’ To the Editor,

Citizens need to speak out against trash incineration To the Editor, Re: Focus on dams deflects surprise move, Letters, June 29. As Mike Macri states in his letter, Nanaimo city council is doing everything in its power to keep us focused on what is happening with the dams and maybe do some much more serious damage to us. How about the report that Duke Point was considered for Vancouver’s trash incinerator site? Anyone notice how enthusiastically politicians and bureaucrats ask citizens to conserve water and such, while staring expressionlessly as oil companies pump tons of toxins and chemicals, contaminate water, and threaten ecosystems for generations to come in exchange for a sputter of temporary jobs? In Nanaimo they have passionately talked us into separating recyclables and kitchen waste from garbage to reduce the need for garbage dump sites. Once an incinerator is operational, nothing is going to stop the garbage from Vancouver. They will be accepting trash from other places or even countries. Nanaimo will get ash, air pollution and the stink of garbage, in exchange for a dozen or so low-paying jobs. It is becoming extremely difficult to keep the environment clean, and participate in conservation programs, knowing that whatever citizens preserve in a lifetime gets destroyed overnight by some external interests.

Cyclists from across the province banded together to help support mental health programs for women and their families. More than 22,000 riders, from 13 communities, hit the road this summer during the Shoppers Drug Mart Ride Don’t Hide event hosted by the Canadian Mental Health Association of B.C. The ride was held June 23 across B.C. It raised more than $400,000. The money will be used for programs such as enjoy your baby programs that teach new mothers how to cope with stress and anxiety following childbirth. The Nanaimo Ride Don’t Hide event had 64 cyclists and they raised more than $6,500. “I would like to thank everyone – especially our event sponsor Shop-

pers Drug Mart – for making the first Ride Don’t Hide event such a tremendous success,” said Anne Hodge, mid-Island branch executive director. “It was truly inspiring to see so many people come out to support their family members, friends, co-workers, neighbours – anyone living with mental illness.” Bev Gutray, CMHA’s B.C. branch chief executive officer, said the event demonstrates the positive direction in how Canadians are viewing mental illnesses and how people are living with mental health issues. “ N e x t y e a r, w e hope to substantially increase the number of participating communities as we look to eventually make this a national event,” said Gutray. Gutray said of the

80,000 people who access the organization’s services each year 70 per cent are women and families. The event was inspired by Michael Schratter, a Vancouver school teacher who cycled more than 40,000 kilome-

tres in 33 countries to battle the stigma of mental illness. Donations are still being accepted for the campaign. To donate or for more information please go to www.ridedonthide. com or call 250-7581803.

Lifeguard training helps teen save grandfather’s life

BRAYDEN RATTRAY saw the signs of seizure in time to call for help. BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN

RACHEL STERN/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Brayden Rattray, 13, used the first aid skills he learned in the City of Nanaimo’s parks, recreation and culture junior lifeguard program to help save his grandfather’s life.

rayden Rattray’s junior lifeguard training helped save his grandfather’s life. Last fall his grandfather, James, suffered a seizure during the night, but no one witnessed the event. In the morning Brayden, 13, realized something was wrong when his grandfather showed signs of what he thought was the result of a stroke. James was wandering through the house repeating tasks he had done only minutes before, he was unbalanced and his eyes were unfocused. “He (Brayden) was able to detect it was a brain injury of some kind and said get an ambulance right away,” said Brayden’s grandmother, Joan Rattray. Joan said it was a good thing the family called the ambulance because during his trip to the hospital James suffered from another major seizure. “If he wasn’t in the ambulance he could have fallen down and hurt himself,” said Joan. Brayden said it’s important for everyone, no matter their age, to learn first aid because they never know when an emergency may

arise. He said a person could just be walking along the street and someone only a few metres away might collapse and have a heart attack or some other accident and the skills may help save a life. Brayden has been enrolled in the junior lifeguard program for four years and he has been steadily working his way through the training levels so he can become a lifeguard. His swimming coach, Guy Yarmack, is one of his inspirations. “He was an amazing swimming teacher and helped me out a lot,” said Brayden. “He is like a mentor,” added Joan. Even though Brayden is only 13 he’s planning for the future. He wants to become a lifeguard because he loves helping people and swimming, but also so he can have a job and earn some money when he eventually attends university or college. This is the first year Brayden is learning skills through the Leaders in Training program through parks, recreation and culture, although last year he completed the junior program. He said the LIT program gives him more duties and learning opportunities and feels more like a job than attending a summer camp. He still has fun, but likes the responsibility and trust he’s been given. It’s helping the youth build more self-confidence. “It’s amazing to see how far I have come,” said Brayden.

Parks planners have plenty for kids to do

work bEgAn last Labour Day to create programs for this summer around Nanaimo.

By AmAndA dAly Summer is in full swing here in the Harbour City. The signs are all around us – the smell of barbecues, fresh-cut grass, the sounds of squeals and giggles coming from the neighbourhood playgrounds and spray parks, and the postcard perfect blue-sky days. Kids have been looking forward to this time of year since spring break and, luckily for parents, we here at parks, recreation and culture have been

preparing for it since last Labour Day. We’ve been working hard prepping parks, fields and summer staff for a fun-filled summer. If you are a prepared type you’ve no doubt seen the listings in the Activity Guide and summer program flyer that came home from the schools (we promise we sent it – maybe the dog eats flyers, too?). Fear not though, we understand that last-minute might be more your style. With

that in mind here is a great list of last minute ideas to get you started. Spend a warm summer night in either Bowen (July) or Maffeo Sutton parks (August) listening to free local music. The Summer Concert series runs every Wednesday throughout the summer starting at 6:30 p.m. Take a ‘daycation’ to Westwood Lake. Hike, swim and enjoy a picnic lunch with friends and family. Lifeguards will be on duty daily noon to 6 p.m. July 2 through Sept. 1. Play along in the search for the Golden Bucket. Watch for clues on the city’s

Facebook site. New prizes every week. Stop by one of our neighbourhood playgrounds this summer and join in some family fun, including music, crafts and games. Playground programs run weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Harewood Mining Park, Mansfield Park, Fairview Community School, Deverill Park, and Country Hills Park. Enjoy $3 Thursdays at Beban Park Recreation Centre. Use the weight rooms and pool for only $3. All day, all season. Immerse yourself in culture by going on a self-guided art walk through the downtown area.

Health authority warns against contact with bats T h e Va n c o u v e r Health Authority is warning the public to avoid physical contact with bats and to seek medical attention if anyone has been bitten or come into contact with the nighttime prowler. Though rabies is rare in humans, with only two cases in B.C. since 1985, it is fatal in 99 per cent of cases and is preventable if immunization is given before symptoms occur. As bats are the primary carrier of rabies people are warned that they are not pets and can be dangerous. Dr. Dee Hoyano, medical health officer, urged the public that if there is accidental contact from a bite, scratch or handling of a bat they should seek medical attention immediately. He also suggests ensuring the home is bat-proof with screens on open win-

dows and vents, and pets are regularly vaccinated against

rabies. On Vancouver Island there is little risk of

rabies from other animals like otters, raccoons and squirrels.

Get to know your neighbours and plan a block party. We have block party kits you can rent that include a ton of great games for all ages. We know the days fill up quickly, so be sure to take some time out to play, too.

Ed had a very big and caring extended family: Donna & Ron Ateah, Kerry and Glen Fawdrey, Shannon and Don Haughain; grandsons, Gray Roberts and Les Roberts who phoned him every day and kept things running at the home. Ed moved to Vancouver at the age of 16, graduated from Kitsilano School in 1950 then went on to Port Alberni, where he 106775 got a job in the Somass Mill, retiring in 1992. Ed and Gloria enjoyed winter trips to exotic places and summer touring on the island, in their 5th wheel. Ed was an avid sportsman excelling in Softball and Bowling. So many people to thank for helping with Edâ€™s care and comfort including the VIHA nurses, Red Cross and Palliative Care. There will be a Family gathering at a later date. â€œPraise him for all he did, or tried to do. Forgive him for all the things he did not do, or could not do.â€?

BC Hydro stands to lose $1 billion over the next four years by selling surplus energy critic John Horgan power at a loss, NDP said yesterday. Horgan renewed the NDP’s long-standing criticism of the B.C. Libera l government’s push for electricity self-sufficiency, and its requirement that all new clean energy sources be privately developed. Long-term purchase contracts signed under that policy mean BC Hydro can expect to lose more than $1 billion by 2015, Horgan said at a news confer ence at the legislature. He based his calculations on documents BC Hydro release d when it filed its applica tion last week for an environmental assessm ent the proposed Site C for dam on the Peace River. The environmental impact statement for the dam shows an expected surplu s of 5,200 gigawatt-hour for 2013 and similar s surpluses out to 2015. Horgan said the current inform ation suggests BC Hydro will have a surplus for the next 10 years. “We’re purchasing at $94 a megawatt-hou r, and we can sell it for $37 a megawatt-hour (on the spot market),” Horgan said. “The net differe nce being $57 per megaw att-hour for power we do not need, power that BC Hydro was forced to purchase because of aggressive B.C. Liberal energy policy.” Energy Minister Rich Coleman said Horgan is using a “snapshot” of today’s low spot market and extending the same demand and prices far into the future. The province has numer ous mine projects underw or seeking approval, ay and liquefied natural gas export proposals are prolifer ating in northern B.C. that are also likely to increase demand for electricity , he said.

Coastal Timbermen suffer one-goal loss Inbrief I SR. A LACROSSE team defeated by Burrards, 11-10.

The Nanaimo Timbermen couldn’t get the lategame goals they needed, and lost. The Coastal Windows Timbermen senior A

lacrosse team fell 11-10 to the Maple Ridge Burrards on Saturday night at Frank Crane Arena. The T-men rattled off three goals in less than a minute in the early stages of the third period and held a 10-9 edge with 10 minutes to go in the game. But the visitors got the only two goals from

there, scoring the gamewinning goal with five minutes left and hanging on. Down the stretch there were a couple of close calls on crease violations that the home team didn’t agree with. Cody Bremner led the Timbermen offensively with a hat trick and Blake Kenny had two

goals and three assists. Other Nanaimo scorers were Doug Langlois, Jake Emms, Graham Palmer, Kyle Hofer and Cayle Ratcliff. New addition Jimmy Delaney chipped in with four assists and almost had a late game-tying marker. Zak Boychuk made 37 saves as his team was outshot 48-42.

Curtis Dickson, the league’s leading scorer, had three goals and three assists for the Burrards. GAME ON … The Timbermen (4-9) host the Langley Thunder (7-3) on Saturday (July 13) at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena, then visit the Burrards (7-5) on Sunday.

Mid Isle FC hanging on in standings BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

The Mid Isle FC Highlanders weren’t at full strength on the weekend, and lost back-toback home games. The Pacific Coast Soccer League men’s reserve team lost 4-0 to the Abbotsford Mariners on Saturday and then 3-1 to Chilliwack FC on Sunday. Both contests were played at Merle Logan Field. Ben Robson scored the only goal of the weekend for Mid Isle FC. The Highlanders have suffered a series of injuries recently, some of them long-term. “Right now, to be honest, I think we’re struggling with it,” said Bill Merriman, the team’s coach. “Players are trying almost too hard to do too much out there.” He said the game plan has been affected, as Mid Isle FC can’t attack as often as it usually can in matches. “The team’s philosophy stays the same,”

GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN

said Chris Arnett, veteran player. “It’s just a matter of those new players coming in and adapting to it, and it is hard at this level. It’s a quick, fast league.” Now in the final stretch of the regular season, Mid Isle FC (4-3-4) hopes

to hang on in the standings and give itself a chance to compete in provincials. “We still have that opportunity,” Merriman said. “It’s up to us to do it and get everybody on the same page and working together.”

Arnett said the team is still in the mix as long as it doesn’t drop any more points over the last three games. “Our goal’s always just to qualify for provincials or playoffs,” he said. “Once you’re in the gate, anything can happen.”

GAME ON … The Highlanders men visit Victoria United on Saturday (July 13). Mid Isle FC’s women’s reserve side plays at North Shore that day … There are no more home games this season. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Extra-base hits lead to extra-innings victory for Pirates The Nanaimo Pirates waited until extra innings to start bashing the ball around. The Hub City Paving Pirates (23-23) split a doubleheader on the road Sunday against the White Rock Tritons, winning 6-2 and then losing 2-1. The first game was 2-2 most of the way through until the

Pirates broke out in the eighth inning. Zach Diewert snapped the tie with a two-RBI double, Brady Rogers followed up with a double and then Alex Rogers hit a triple. Alex Rogers finished with two hits and three RBI and Diewert also had two hits. Aidan Goodall and Luke Skingle both contrib-

uted on the mound, with Goodall allowing three hits over six innings and Skingle throwing two scoreless. In the rematch, the Pirates put two men on base in the seventh inning but that was as close as they got. Diewert hit a double in the game and Alex Rogers struck out six over six innings.

Delta pitcher Brett Sakaki gave up three hits and no earned runs over five innings. GAME ON … The Pirates have only two games left in the B.C. Premier Baseball League season. They host the North Shore Twins for a doubleheader July 16 at Serauxmen Stadium. Game times are noon and 2:30 p.m.

Jr. Timbermen win in blowout

The junior A Nanaimo Timbermen didn’t win on their home floor until the last game of the season, but at least they went out in style. The T-men defeated the Burnaby Lakers 20-4 on Saturday at Frank Crane Arena before finishing the season the next day on the road with a 15-6 loss to the Langley Thunder. In the blowout win, Mitch Parker scored four goals and added four assists and Brett Hawrys had four goals as well. Adam Golia had a hat trick, Corey Shires contributed two goals and six assists and Travis Mickelson had two and two. Conor Woroniuk and Nate Clark split time in the crease. The next day Hawrys scored four times for the T-men. The junior A Timbermen (3-17-1) finished seventh in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League and missed the playoffs. Parker (38 goals, 77 points) and Hawrys (46 goals, 75 points) finished in the top 10 in league scoring. Jordan Kuziek (124 penalty minutes), Owen Barker (113 PIM) and Alex McDougall (104 PIM) were first, second and third in penalty minutes.

Peewee team wins at Islands The peewee Nanaimo Timbermen are champs after winning at Islands earlier this month. The Nanaimo District Lacrosse Association squad defeated the Westshore Bears 5-1 in the Island final at Mill Bay. Riley Gannon, Joshua Zary, Carter Ekland, Evan Soucy and Chase Heslop scored the goals, Colby Bowman was the winning goalie and the entire team showed commitment on defence. The team will begin play at provincial championship on Friday (July 12) in Kamloops.

Acme Timbermen defeat rival Pioneers

SR. B LACROSSE team pulls away in third period.

At a turning point in the game, the T-men turned things in their favour. The Acme Painting Timbermen senior B lacrosse team beat the Ladner Pioneers 10-7 on Sunday at Frank Crane Arena. Nanaimo held a 5-4 edge going into the third period, but were facing a lengthy penalty kill. The home team responded to the challenge by scoring two shorthanded goals and never ledding Ladner back in it. “Our guys really wanted it,” said Mike Maughan, the team’s coach. “We really put in all the effort and all the work that was necessary… “It was a hard-fought game, both teams played really well; it was an entertaining game even [for] coaches to watch.” Blair Pinnock, Jon Diplock and Gabe Sutherland scored

Nanaimo teen to run at world championships Nanaimo track standout Thomas Oxland has been named to the Canadian team selected to compete at the IAAF World Youth Championships in Donetsk, Ukraine, starting tomorrow (July 10). Oxland, 16, qualified for the excellent adventure by run-

ning below the world standard for the 800-metre event of one minute, 55 seconds, when he ran a personal best 1:53.2 June 15 in a Q Series Meet in Victoria, which ranks him second in Canada for his age and earned him a spot on the team. “That’s like an 11,” the teen

answered when asked how it felt on a scale of one to 10, adding his main goal at the beginning of the year was to make the team, “so I was pretty happy.” Oxland was one of seven boys from B.C. to qualify for Team Canada.

What’s In Your Bed? The Mattress Mythbuster

Today, most of us are trying to use more natural products and stay away as much as is reasonable from chemicals. Since we spend about 8 hours a day in our beds, typically with little material between us and the mattress, it’s important to know “what is in that mattress?”

John and Lynn Rogers

Virtually all mattresses contain foams of some sort; the foam is what provides the comfort layer on the top. Unfortunately, I see what are billed as Canadian made products what are actually 49% offshore and 51% Canadian made. While we have strict codes as to what we can make here in Canada, there is little control over what we import. PDBE’s (polybrominated diphenyl ethers) and CFC’s are common in offshore products—substances we haven’t used in North American foams for years. Boric acid is also commonly used as a fire retardant in mattresses and furniture; and while this is a naturally occurring mineral, it is poisonous... even in small doses—not something I want in my bed. At John’s, I use only North American made urethane foams from BFF Foam Corp in Richmond, and Dunlop natural latex foams made in Sri Lanka. Our urethane foams conform to CertiPUR standards and I’m proud to say that soon we will have our official CertiPUR designation. Dunlop natural latex is far and away the longest lasting, natural foam you can use for a mattress. It’s naturally fire retardant, bed bugs and dust mites won’t go near it which makes for an extremely clean, natural sleep surface.

Since opening in 1989, I’ve spent countless hours reviewing what’s good and what’s bad in the mattress industry, a subject I’m very passionate about. To read more on my research go to www.johnsbedrooms.com and click on “John’s articles”.
