Economic impact Nanaimo’s economy seems to be humming along, thanks to several factors affecting employment

BY CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN

N

ew job figures have employers and employment agencies at least cautiously optimistic about Nanaimo’s long-term economic outlook.

Statistics Canada employment figures released recently pegged Nanaimo’s unemployment rate at just 4.2 per cent, well below the provincial average that has been floating between five and seven per cent for the last several months, and impressively trumping the 4.5 per cent claimed by Prince George where the resource sector is driving demand for

skilled trades. Sectors hiring in Nanaimo include retail, professional, scientific and technical services, construction, and arts and culture, said Sasha Angus, Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation CEO. Local companies winning international contracts in the resource, manufacturing and professional/ scientific sectors are looking for qualified workers, too.

“What tends to happen when they get those contracts is they need to staff up, particularly in the last couple of years,” Angus said. ◆ See ‘LOCAL’ /6

The suspect demanded her purse, money and cellphone. she handed him some cash before she was able to distract him, flee the scene and call for help.

James scott, 31, of Nanaimo was arrested July 5. scott appeared in Nanaimo provincial court wednesday where he pleaded guilty to charges of robbery and assault and was sentenced to two years in prison.

siah Avenue that includes more multi-family housing and commercial developments, said Sholberg.

Residents also expressed concerns about how outsiders perceive the area – some people who live in other areas of the city view Harewood as a poor neighbourhood with issues with security and nefarious activities, he said.

As a result, improving the image of Harewood is an element of the plan, as well as improving the economic health of the area, including exploring the feasibility of a development incentive plan in the Harewood Village area.

Staff will schedule another public hearing next fall to gather more feedback on the draft plan and then the plan will go to council for final adoption, said Sholberg.

About 12,000 people live in Harewood in slightly fewer than 5,000 residences.

The neighbourhood has a rich coal mining and farming history.

For more information about the plan, please go to www. nanaimo.ca/goto/harewood.

The city will demolish an unsafe building downtown because no action was taken by the owner.

Under a remedial action order issued by city council June 10, the owner of the old Bay Theatre at 91 Chapel St., which has suffered at least two major roof collapses since early May, had until Thursday to either make the building structurally sound and safe or demolish the building before the city stepped in to do the work.

In early June, an engineering study deemed the building unsafe – due to the roof collapse, the study determined the walls are in danger of falling onto Chapel and Skinner streets – and to protect the public, the city has set up barricades around the building and closed a portion of Skinner Street and a section of sidewalk and adjacent parkade on Chapel Street.

A report that went before council last week recommended that if the city is required to take action, the safety issue should be addressed by removing the building because staff believe it is not feasible to stabilize the remaining structure.

Dale Lindsay, the city’s building inspections manager, said the building’s owner, Langley-based Loft Ministries, has not taken any action and on Monday (July 22), council will pick a contractor to proceed with demolition work.

“The 30 days passed without them doing anything on the property,” he said.

The tender for demolition, issued last month, closed Friday and the city received four bids, ranging in price from $181,111 from Don Saywell Developments Ltd. to $577,500 from Stone Pacific Contracting Ltd. These tender bid results still must be verified by city staff.

In the tender, the city asked that certain parts of the demolition be completed by Aug. 2, Lindsay said.

“Our priority is to open Skinner Street as soon as possible,” he said.

The cost of the demolition will be put on the taxes of the site if the owner does not pay the bill and if the taxes are not paid, eventually the property would go to tax sale.

Loft Ministries bought the building in 2007 with the intention of using it as a church, but according to a city report, it sat mostly unused since that time.

Neglect, mould and mildew were cited as reasons for the structural decay.

Calls to Loft Ministries for comment on the building’s state of repair went unreturned by deadline.

City appoints dam facilitator

By Jenn M c GarriGle

The City of Nanaimo and snuneymuxw First Nation have appointed Katherine Gordon as a facilitator to help with the 30-day consultation period over removal of the dams in Colliery Dam Park.

Gordon has worked on previous issues for the city and snuneymuxw First Nation and has a wide-range of knowledge on local matters.

Gordon will be tasked with gathering relevant information, listening to ideas and concerns, and working toward a collaborative outcome over the Colliery Dams issue. To give input, Gordon can be reached by e-mail at collieryfacilitator@shaw. ca.

A new vision for the Harewood community is outlined in a draft neighbourhood plan.

The plan, which went before council for first and second reading Monday July 8, is the culmination of a five-phase process spanning about 15 months.

It is intended as a guide for future policy decisions, including new development, redevelopment, open space acquisitions and environmental considerations.

Chris Sholberg, the city’s community/heritage planner, said there was a lot of community engagement throughout the process of developing the plan, as well as strong support for the final product.

“The neighbourhood has a strong image of itself, there’s a sense of pride in the neighbourhood,” he said.

The News BulleTiN

The plan includes several areas of importance for the future of the area that residents identified throughout the process, including enhanced protection for watercourses and green spaces, greater opportunities for biking and walking, developing a new Harewood Village as the focus of local commercial and community activity, and development of a strategy to increase the neighbourhood’s economic health and promote its image as a great place both to live and to invest.

Sholberg said one of the biggest desires residents expressed was to enhance and retain some of the green spaces in the area and the idea of connectivity came up.

He said a higher number of people get around by foot or bicycle in Harewood than elsewhere in the city and improving the experience, facilities and safety of these modes of transportation is in the plan.

The Harewood Village vision is about creating a main street on Fifth Street from Bruce Avenue to Wake-

Teens robbed, assaulted at Nanaimo high school

Police seek crime tips

Police in Nanaimo are trying to track down two suspects who assaulted and robbed several teens on the weekend.

The incident happened at Woodlands Secondary School shortly after midnight Sunday. The teens – three males and two females aged 17-19 – were sitting outside the school talking when two men, who looked to be in their late 20s, approached.

The two parties struck up a conversation, but when the suspects went to leave, one of the teens made a comment that caused the men to turn back. One of the suspects pushed one of the male teens to the ground and allegedly threatened him while holding a knife to his throat. The suspect then turned on one of the other male teens and punched him in the face multiple times. He also allegedly punched one of the girls in the face. The suspects then took the group’s purses and a wallet plus a white mountain bike and a packsack before they casually walked away from the scene.

The teens went to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital, where they were treated for cuts and abrasions, and called the police.

The suspect who allegedly produced the knife is described as Caucasian in his mid to late 20s, tall, thin with blonde hair and was wearing a white tank top and dark cargo pants. The knife is described as long and silver. The second suspect is possibly Hispanic, with a dark complexion and he wore a tuque.

Anyone with information 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.

Nanaimo RCMP have a number of unsolved files they hope the public can help solve. Anyone with information on the following crimes is asked to call Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www.nanaimocrimestoppers.com.

Who we are: This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act. Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, September 9, 2013 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, December 9, 2013.

The Title of the Initiative is: An initiative to amend the Police Act. Summary of Initiative: The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

Initiative Advertising: Individuals or organizations who sponsor initiative advertising, other than the proponent and registered opponents, must register with the Chief Electoral Officer before they conduct or publish initiative advertising. Registration applications are available from Elections BC. Who May Sign the Petition: Registered voters as of Monday, September 9, 2013 may sign the initiative petition.

Pot petition gets green light I ElECtioNS B.C. gives approval for activists to gather signatures in support of decriminalization.

recent years, including a narrow majority vote at the 2012 Union of B.C. Municipalities convention.

In a debate at that convention in Victoria last September, former B.C. Liberal attorney general Geoff Plant advocated for loosening marijuana laws, as has since been done in the U.S. states of Washington and Colorado.

The idea was opposed by criminologist Darryl Plecas, who was elected B.C. Liberal MLA for Abbotsford South in the May provincial election.

Larsen has had

Aug. 12 to register with Elections B.C. to oppose the initiative, run ads for or against the petition or collect signatures.

Larsen, who was involved with the B.C. Marijuana Party before seeking the leadership of the B.C. NDP in 2011, has worked for the last year to build support for what he calls Sensible B.C. His organization will have 90 days from Sept. 9 to collect signatures from 10 per cent of registered provincial voters in each of B.C.’s 85 electoral districts.

If that threshold is reached, Elections B.C. would hold a province-wide initiative vote, likely by mail as was done to repeal the HST. Decriminalizing pot has received mainstream support in

Black Press

Energy Minister Bill Bennett says there are about still 60,000 B.C. Hydro customers who are still resisting installation of wireless electricity meters, and he wants the utility to offer them manual meter readings, for a price.

“What we’re contemplating at this point is that maybe we can deliver a digital meter that has the radio turned off,” Bennett told reporters at the B.C. legislature last week. “We just feel that we don’t want to bully people into taking the smart meter if they don’t want it.”

Modifying the meters for dif-

a colourful career, including editing Vancouver-based Cannabis Culture magazine and co-founding the Vancouver Seed Bank, which has sold seeds for marijuana, poppies, peyote and coca.

He offered no estimate of the cost, but predicted that more people will drop their opposition rather than pay for extra service.

Local jobs popping up across employment spectrum u From /1 In Nanaimo, unlike northern B.C. and Alberta, jobs appear to be popping up right across the employment spectrum.

“You can’t really point to a silver bullet and say, ‘This sector has 80 per cent of the job growth,’� Angus said. “There’s been a number of sectors

improving over the past 18 months that have helped move it along.�

But not all jobs employing Nanaimo residents are gen-

erated here. Like other communities across the province, Nanaimo is benefiting from what Angus calls the Fort McMurray Effect – workers commuting between h o m e s h e re a n d resource extraction jobs in northern B.C. and Alberta. Employment out of town still counts toward favourable Nanaimo job figures with Statistics Canada.

The statistical employment picture looked even rosier in Nanaimo when unemployment actually dropped to 3.3 per cent in December and likely represented a seasonal pre-Christmas hiring blip. “Even at roughly four per cent, you’re still at virtually full employment. You can never get to zero,�

Angus said. “What we’re tending to see over the last year or so is the transition from part-time jobs to full-time, which is encouraging because what it tends to signal is that employers are feeling confident in their business outlook.�

Russell said many communities face labour force shortfalls, leaving local schools and training institutions playing catch up to meet the demands of labour market trends.

SASHA ANGUS

John Tait, job developer with Supporting Employment Transitions, also under the Work B.C. umbrella, said local employers are currently needing to fill administration positions, renovation construction jobs and manufacturing jobs. “That being said, what I’m still seeing is a lot of young people with lack of experience finding it hard to find work,� Tait said.

Tait, who looks after SET’s job options program, which provides wage subsidies to help employers hire for positions, said employers are also not paying as much as they once did.

With some employers

unwilling or unable to pay enough to attract and keep employees, a lot of younger people have left Nanaimo to find work up north.

Underemployment is also prevalent. Tait sees young people with college education and university degrees forced to take low-paying service industry jobs. “So, the overall thing is, yes, it’s looking better and statistics imply that ours is low and nationally we look amazing, but the other side to it is they’re lower-paying jobs and there are still people who are having a real tough time getting into the market for long-term, full-time employ ment,� Tait said.

Angus said the technical and scientific sector holds the most promise for longterm, sustainable economic benefits. The sector creates products and services that can be marketed anywhere from anywhere, including places like Nanaimo which has low commercial property and rental rates compared to the Lower Mainland. “The more jobs we can help stimulate in the tech sector, the better off we are as far as our long term economic prospects go,� Angus said. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Mounties avoid pepper spray attack Two Nanaimo Mounties narrowly avoided being bear sprayed while chasing a suspect in Harewood Thursday.

The pursuit ensued at about 3 a.m. after police responded to a call about two men trying to break into a car parked on the 400 block of Deering Street.

Officers spotted two suspects who matched a description given by a witness and detained both men while they gathered evidence and information, which lead to both suspects being arrested for theft.

One of the suspects fled from the police.

When the officers took up the chase, the suspect stopped suddenly, turned around and discharged bear spray. Both officers managed to dodge the spray and continued the pursuit until they got their man.

Police have recommended charges of theft, assaulting a police officer, possession of a weapon dangerous to the public, failing to comply with an intensive support and supervision order previously ordered by the courts, escaping lawful custody and obstruction of a police officer against Dallas Jocko, 19, of Nanaimo.

Jocko has been held in custody and makes his next appearance in Nanaimo provincial court July 23.

Chris HarwoodJones, 34, is facing charges of theft under $5,000 and possession of break-andenter instruments.

He makes his next appearance July 30.

Silliest sailors gear up for annual regatta Silly Boat Regatta raises thousands of dollars for Child Development Centre

By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN

W

hat started out as a fun charity event back in 1984 has evolved into one of Nanaimo’s premier family summer events.

The 2013 Coast Capital Savings Silly Boat Regatta is just a few days off and 47 teams are signed up and ready to launch their creative, if not always seaworthy, craft into Nanaimo Harbour.

The annual regatta, which happens Sunday (July 21) at Maffeo Sutton Park, is the single largest annual fundraiser for the Nanaimo Child Development Centre which has helped children with developmental needs and their families since 1967.

“We have room for a few more and 20 of those teams are brand new,” said Michelle Kocourek, the centre’s resource development coordinator.

The venue can handle up to 56 teams before Maffeo Sutton Park simply runs out of space for participants to assemble silly boats.

The basic rules for Silly Boating are pretty simple.

Teams design fanciful watercraft – that often present their passengers with a sink or swim proposition when they fall apart – that will hopefully float the team around a short course on the Nanaimo Harbour and back to shore faster than their competitors.

The boats can be made of components fabricated off site, but must be assembled by the teams at the park the morning of the event, which, of course, is all part of the spectacle people come out to see.

Once racing gets underway, winning teams from each heat move on to the finals for a shot at the grand championship race.

But speed isn’t everything.

There are prizes for the silliest boat and first boat to sink in each race.

CHRIS BUSH/THe NewS BUlleTIN

Bob Friday, left, and Shane Kavanagh, of the Friday Faux’s Silly Boat team, have a huge selection of tools and techniques on hand in Friday’s workshop to experiment on about 60 plastic carboys they’ll use to create this year’s craft that will chart a course to victory or defeat.

Teams even compete over raising the most donations. Last year Silly Boaters raised more than $114,000 to support the centre’s programs and clients.

The competition is fun and challenging so teams, in one form or another, keep coming back year after year.

Bob Friday of Friday Design has been designing Silly Boats since 2006.

“For anyone who likes to build stuff it’s a really good challenge,” Friday said. “So my

involvement, for the most part, has been to design the vehicles, source materials and every year we do something, usually, completely different.”

The team is named for Friday and team partner Dan Faux, but is comprised of about a dozen people who come out each year to build and crew whatever craft gets concocted or just lend support by getting the other team members food and water through the day.

Last year’s Silly Boat was pow-

ered by oars, which didn’t work out too well because the crew couldn’t raise the paddles out of the water without the oar shafts hitting their knees.

In 2006, as part of the Crimson Coast Dance Society team, Friday played a part in winning the Super Silliest Sailors category on a bicycle-powered paddle boat.

The oar concept is back this year, but will be combined, somehow, with 60 plastic carboys donated by Art of Brewing in Ladysmith.

“Some teams, they’re more fundraising oriented,” Friday said. “We don’t really raise that much money, but we make it a good event because we bring a pretty cool craft to the table.”

Sunday’s event is expected to draw about 10,000 spectators down to the waterfront to watch the boat building and take part in the Sport Zone events, face painting, crafts and games, the children’s mini regatta in Swy-alana Lagoon and, of course, to witness the races themselves.

There will be a few new wrinkles to the event this year too, including more opportunities to make donations.

“We have the Silver Mile, which is a board with spaces for loonies or toonies on it,” Kocourek said. “People can come and stick a loonie or toonie on.”

Silly Boat T-shirts will be on sale and raffle tickets, too, for prizes including a WestJet trip for two, an Arbutus RV one-week motor home rental, a Kiyo Salon and Day Spa package and a playhouse from Western Forest Products.

Tickets are available at Nanaimo Child Development Centre or at the event.

“This is one of the bestattended events in the city and one of the best family events,” Kocourek said. “This is really, truly, a family-oriented event and it’s for a wonderful cause.

We have 326 children on the waiting list right now, who are waiting up to nine months for services, so community awareness is a huge component of this as well.”

EDITORIAL

Summer busy for responders Nanaimo finally has its stretch of warm and sunny summer weather, with no signs of letting up, at least into next weekend.

For many in the Harbour City, that means trips to regional watering holes such as Nanaimo River or Colliery Dam Park, popular beaches like Departure Bay, plenty of barbecuing and catching some rays. If history is any guide, Nanaimo summers can also be a busy time for first responders. As the temperature soars for any length of time, more people, often teens and young adults, put themselves at risk for drowning in boating mishaps, cliff jumping missteps and over-confident swimming skills.

Deaths and injuries are preventable, and usually go hand in hand with intoxication, bravado and high temperatures. B.C. had four water-related deaths in the first five days of July, prompting a plea by the B.C. Coroners Service for people to contemplate water safety and to better understand the risks of jumping into unfamiliar rivers and lakes. The Nanaimo region is a playground of parks, lakes and rivers for summer fun, and most have plenty of information available on hazards. But mostly, safety comes with caution and common sense.

The other hot weather disasters waiting to happen are the annual highway-side brush and forest fires.

Roads and highways continue to be the region’s ashtray. Flicking cigarette butts into dry grass is a choice people make, and only by fast-acting fire response has the city avoided major damage from grassfires. More problematic are the city’s prized urban forests and large regional parks. Most of these areas have large fuel loads of deadfall, leaves and brush built up over decades or longer.

During these dry days, a careless cigarette or an illicit campfire could spark a major forest fire near residential neighbourhoods. Nanaimo’s lucky streak is bound to run out one of these summers.

bird populations is to ensure habitats critical to their survival – known as Important Bird Areas, or IBAs – are protected, through legislation if necessary.

That doesn’t mean shutting out human activity, just managing these areas in ways that allow birds to survive and thrive.

As the report shows, investing in conservation comes with benefits beyond helping birds. The more than 12,000 IBAs identified worldwide offer valuable ecosystem services, such as regulating climate and air quality, purifying water and preventing floods, maintaining genetic diversity, providing food and medicines and creating recreation and tourism opportunities.

Education is another component of protecting birds and all threatened plants and animals. As we better understand our connection to nature, the importance of biodiversity and the value of services healthy ecosystems provide, we’ll make conservation and biodiversity higher priorities, which will lead to wiser development.

Plummeting bird populations reflect the state of the global environment – but it’s not too late to do something. We need birds. Let’s do all we can to avert an extinction catastrophe. u Written with contributions from David Suzuki Foundation Communications Manager Ian Hanington.

Re: District wastes tax dollars while abandoning children facing constant bullying, Letters, May 25.

In May, your newspaper published a letter to the editor from a parent who made allegations about incidents of bullying.

Although the school was not named in the letter, parents recognized their school and, in particular the allegations that certain children had been involved in bullying behaviour. There were also allegations posted on Facebook.

In order to investigate what happened, a restorative justice session was held at the school, with the assistance of a facilitator and the RCMP. Through this session, it was determined that while there had been incidents of conflict between certain children, this was not a situation where bullying took place.

Our schools take allegations of conflict and bullying seriously.

We would like to remind parents that when hearing allegations from their children regarding conflict, to please report to the teacher or principal and then give the school some time to ensure they can thoroughly check out the situation before publicly making allegations that may turn out to be false. Due process is necessary so that all parties are treated fairly.

To the Editor,

Having read a series of unchallenged letters in favour of keeping the dams, I offer these thoughts.

Also, I respectfully suggest that the Nanaimo News Bulletin is part of the problem by publishing endless stream of letters bemoaning the loss of the dams.

No one wants to remove these structures but the provincial Dam Safety Branch just happens to rate them as the highest-risk structures in the province.

It beggars the imagination to think about the consequences of a dam burst.

The Globe and Mail carried an excellent article on the issue, pointing out that in every other community where dams are being removed, it is seen as a good thing.

Only in Nanaimo does a community embrace such

Readers respond: Feedback on news items Reducing rabbits offers food to needy To the Editor,

Re: Abundant food source out there, just hopping around, Letters, July 9.

I agree with this letter 100 per cent and know that half of all the gardeners would give their eye teeth to be able to grow a tomato or peas without waking up and looking at a bunch of sticks where there was a big healthy tomato, and all their efforts gone.

It also is the best way to feed the needy and give some work for a few butchers. Do it.

Can’t afford flights with this economy To the Editor,

Re: Delegation hopes economic opportunities take flight with WestJet service to Calgary, June 22.

It is wonderful that we can now enjoy the speed

and comfort of direct flights to Calgary. Kudos for Nanaimo. I do feel strongly that planning to send 30 people from the Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation to Calgary as a goodwill gesture was excessive. Were they paying their own way? If they weren’t, I am grateful that the trip was cancelled, as there seems to be too many freeloaders at every level of government.

I don’t think in our present economic climate we can afford this type of extravagance. I see the city saw fit to raise recreation fees. Poor priorities I would say.

Island, I do believe I have a solution to the problem: why not ship it on B.C. Ferries?

Hardly anyone is travelling on the ferries these days because of the exorbitant costs of a ticket and B.C. Ferry Corporation is therefore complaining they aren’t making enough money.

Why not ban private vehicles and instead use the former vehicle decks to be filled with garbage?

The remaining ferry passengers could still ride on the top decks, although the windows would have to be altered so they could be opened to air out the smell of garbage. B.C. Ferries could earn considerable income and would be able to justifiably pay the wages received by their executives.

Considering each resident of the Greater Vancouver area is allowed to place two to three pails of garbage out every week it should not take long to fill a ferry.

What are the Do’s and Don’ts of Washing your Car?

DON’T... wait for your car to get really dirty before washing. Dead bugs, bird droppings, and chemicals from the atmosphere all leach acids that can strip GARRY ROGUSKI away wax and eventually eat into your car’s paint.

If left too long, they can cause damage to your clear coat and paint. DO... wash as soon as possible.

DON’T... use household cleaning products. These aren’t formulated for use on a car’s paint and may strip off the protective wax. DO... use a dedicated car-wash product which is specifically designed for use on automotive paint. Apply the suds with a large, soft natural sponge or mitt.

DON’T... wash your car when the body is hot, from direct sunlight or driving. Heat speeds the drying process, making washing more difficult and increasing the chances that spots or deposits will form.

DON’T... move the sponge in circles. This can create swirl marks in your paint. Instead, move the sponge lengthwise across the hood and other body panels.

DON’T... let the car air dry, and don’t expect a drive around the block to do an effective job. Either will leave watermarks (minerals left after evaporation). DO... use a chamois or soft terry towels.

DON’T... use a power washer the water pressure can embed bugs and rocks directly into your paint causing your paint finish to peel.

I bought some nice seat pads for my outdoor furniture from a large box store they look great but with only a JOHN ROGERS little use they are all packed inside and flat. Is there anything I can do?

For sure there is, we redo these cushions all the time! The problem the box stores face is that they buy the cushions off shore and have to cram as many into a box/container as possible, as a result they can’t put good foams into them.

Bring your cushions in so our experts can have a look at the best way to go. If you want to leave the cushions outside in the rain we have foam that will allow water to flow through, it’s a little more expensive than good upholstery foam but you never have to worry about them.

I empathize with parents struggling to watch their ANGELA SLADE, MA, RCC daughter(s) navigate the adolescent years. Today, adolescence is even more difficult for girls due to a variety of competing expectations in our society. Therefore, it is vital to teach your daughter how to feel about herself and her body. Ask yourself, does the way I feel about myself and my body conflict with how I want my daughter to feel about herself? Are you critical of yourself, your body and/or your eating or exercise habits? As parents, if we want good things for our children we are required to model them in our own life. If you are not, that is okay. Integrating changes can create a great bonding and growing experience for you and your daughter.

If you want her to feel good about herself – you need to feel good about yourself too! In addition, help your daughter connect with strong female role models in the community. Expanding her connections allows her to explore issues, emotions, and curiosities in safe and empowering environments. Role modeling and giving girls the opportunity to ask questions and explore their developing identity with someone who is removed from the family can have long-lasting positive impacts. Be sure to check out our programs - they may be a good fit to help you and your daughter as she grows.

Experts’ Advice

Bluetooth is a wireless technology for exchanging data over short distances. ( The curious name Bluetooth is the anglicized nickname of the 10th century King Harald I of Denmark.) Bluetooth is found in most new hearing aids on the market and allows hearing aid users to connect to telephones, smart phones, iPods, iPads, speakers, computers, remote microphones and many devices enabled with Bluetooth. This connection enhances the signal to noise ratio for easier listening in noise and better speech clarity. Better hearing is possible with better technology. Ask your hearing professional today!

Spas, Saunas, Pools HEATERS, POOLS & SPAS Before you buy, know the facts of the various methods of heating your pool.

The cheapest priced heaters, are electric element heaters. Because of its low price and the fact that the element is submerged in water, no heat is lost up the flue or exhaust vent. These are ideal for spas or hot tubs. Electrical consumption however makes it a very costly way to heat a large body of water.

Gas heaters are mid range in price. They operate silently, as does an electric element heater. The trade off is the fact that some of the energy (heat) is lost directly up the exhaust vent. Cost of installing the gas line to the unit is also very expensive.

Heat pumps are at the top of the purchase price range, but once installed offer the cheapest way to heat your pool. The fan does make minimal noise.

Solar panels are generally used as supplemental heaters only, as they can cool the pool in overcast conditions, or at night time.

An 11kw electric heater was costing me $1450.00 per season.

Converting to a heat pump, now costs me only $400.00 per season.

That’s over 70% savings every year!

Pains in the legs which occur in children during their periods of fastest growth are often called “growing pains.” These pains DR. KAREN MATTERN have traditionally been viewed as normal and unavoidable. Parents and children are assured that the pain will eventually go away. And it usually does, but only after many sleepless nights.

Many children are seen in a chiropractor’s office suffering from these “growing pains.” In nearly every case, there is an imbalance in the lower spine or pelvis causing uneven stress on the leg muscles. Most cases of “growing pains” are easily resolved with adjustments to the lower back and the relief is usually permanent. A lot of discomfort and pain - to say nothing of lack of sleep for parents - can be easily avoided.

Growing pains in children should be seen as a warning sign that the body is not in balance. If your child is suffering from leg pains, consult your family chiropractor to determine the cause and its correction.

■ REALTOR

Heat pumps are economical heating and air conditioning options for many new homes as well as an TIM WAIT upgrade to an existing home.

However, many Nanaimo residents are finding out the hard way that installing a heat pump in the wrong place can be very costly. The City of Nanaimo’s Zoning Bylaw 2011 No. 4500 NUMBER 6.5.2 requires that “Heat pumps and central air condition units must be located to the rear of a principal building and shall not be closer than 4.5 meters from the side lot lines or closer than 3 meters from the rear property line”. If you or your installer feel you are unable to install a heat pump effectively within the area required by the Zoning Bylaw due to site conditions unique to your lot, you can apply for a variance through the City. Your installer should be aware of the Zoning Bylaw requirements, after all they are the professionals; if they are not aware, it is in your best interest to inform them about the City’s Bylaw requirements before you install your heat pump. You will save yourself a lot of frustration and extra expense if you site the heat pump correctly at Building Permit stage if you are building a new home and not to try and ask for forgiveness later. Feel free to contact me if you are unsure about where to install your heat pump; I would be glad to come to your home and assist you.

VIU grant recipients continue research

Photo Contributed

Vancouver Island University student Monica Shore is a recipient of a $17,500 Joseph-Armand Bombardier Canada Graduate Scholarship Master’s Award from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council to use toward a master’s degree.

fOUR STUdeNTS awarded for master’s studies.

Four Vancouver Island University students have received national awards to complete their master’s degrees.

Students Monica Shore, Niel Scobie, Kaitlyn Till and Francine Emmonds have been granted prestigious Joseph-Armand Bombardier Canada Graduate Scholarship Master’s Awards worth $17,500 each by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.

Shore, who has already completed the first year

of VIU’s master of arts in sustainable leisure management program, is using the award to complete a qualitative study on engagement of the arts community within the cultural planning process in Nanaimo.

Shore said she feels fortunate to be completing her master’s degree close to home. The City of Nanaimo is trying to distinguish itself as a culturally vibrant community in Canada, and Shore is curious to know whether local artists or arts organizations are being adequately engaged in the cultural development process.

VIU Media Studies graduate Niel Scobie plans to pursue a master of arts

in music and culture at Carleton University in September. He will examine the cultural, socio-economic, and regional factors that have produced a diverse range of Canadian hip-hop music.

Emmonds, who recently completed a bachelor of arts degree in interdisciplinary studies at VIU, begins a master of arts in educational studies at the University of British Columbia in September.

Her research focus is identifying strength-based adult basic education assessments for Indigenous learners.

VIU creative writing and journalism graduate Kaitlyn Till will use her award

in September to complete the master of publishing program at Simon Fraser University.

“All of us at VIU are extremely proud of these students and what they have achieved,” said Ralph Nilson, president and vicechancellor of VIU. “Students who receive [council] scholarships are recognized as some of Canada’s best student researchers at post-secondary institutions across the country,” said Nilson.

“Their research enhances Canada’s position as a world leader in research excellence and could possibly lead to discoveries and innovations that will benefit all Canadians.”

Aside from settling with the creditor or paying off the debt, there are two GARETH SLOCOMBE, CA, CIRP methods under the Bankruptcy & Insolvency Act to have a wage garnishee lifted. One is to file for bankruptcy and the other is to file a proposal to creditors. The proposal option is usually preferable if you have the ability to continue to make some reasonable payment to creditors. Once a proposal or bankruptcy is commenced all wage garnishees and wage assignments cease, even garnishees from Revenue Canada. The only type of garnishee which continues is a garnishee for maintenance or support under the Family Maintenance Enforcement Program. Since this type of debt survives a bankruptcy, the garnishee is not released in respect of post bankruptcy earnings.

How do I choose an electrical contractor?

When choosing an electrician the BEN MAZZEI first thing to consider is whether they are licensed. You can confirm this by contacting the BC Safety Authority.

A license guarantees that the company had taken the necessary courses and have the practical experience to complete the job. You should also request an up to date WCB clearance letter and confirm they carry all the necessary insurances.

It is always a good idea to request references and confirm they have experience in the field of work you require.

Most custom furniture is usually North American ROBERT BICHLBAUER made. So right from the get go, there is a time frame that needs to be accounted for with shipping. Usually transportation time is between two to three weeks of your waiting period. When your furniture is made it does go through a series of inspections. Should the workmanship not pass it is brought back to be redone to meet standards that the manufacturer has put into place.

There are some great manufacturers right here in British Columbia that have quality and design elements that many other companies offer. The nice part about these manufacturers is that the time frame in regards to transportation is eliminated. As a consumer you can inquire should you have time restraints.

I am always a believer in the fact that, all good things are worth waiting for!

Why does custom furniture take so long to be made?

Insomnia is defined as difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep and affects 30-50% of the North American DR. KAREN L. FRASER population. It is a symptom that is experienced by all age groups, but tends to increase with age. Why is insomnia a concern?

Adequate restful sleep is required to allow our mind and body time to repair and regenerate from the day’s activities. In addressing insomnia it is important to explore the underlying causes such as sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, poor bladder control, cortisol/melatonin disruptions, stress, anxiety, depression or pain disorders. Other factors such as shift work, eating late at night, caffeine, alcohol, or medications may also contribute to sleep disturbance. Journaling or writing a to-do list before going to bed can help relieve excessive thinking that may occur at night. Regular exercise helps promote healthy sleep patterns.

Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine, which can all cause sleep disturbances. A variety of supplements and herbs can be useful to promote healthy restful sleep including: melatonin, magnesium, chamomile, passionflower, oat, lemon balm, and valerian. These interventions can be helpful when appropriate to reduce anxiety and promote a relaxed state required for sleeping.

Naturopathic consults are covered by most extended health care plans.

Prevention helps avoid tick bites

I

LYMe DISeASe rare in B.C., but best to avoid exposure.

Now that summer is here, many of us will be heading into the great outdoors to enjoy hiking, camping and other recreational activities.

If you’re spending time in tall grass, brush or wooded areas, you may be exposed to insect or tick bites.

Ticks are tiny arachnids that feed on the blood of humans and animals and in very rare cases, can transmit disease-causing bacteria.

While less than one per cent of ticks in B.C. carry the bacteria that can cause Lyme disease, the condition can be serious for those infected.

“There are a number of

precautions you can take to protect yourself against tick bites,” said Dr. Dee Hoyano, medical health officer for the Vancouver Island Health Authority. “First, make sure you’re covered up; wear lightcoloured clothing including a long-sleeved shirt that you can tuck into your pants and then tuck your pants into your boots or socks.”

Other steps you can take to protect yourself against tick and insect bites include: Walk on cleared trails wherever possible; Apply insect repellent containing DEET on all uncovered skin and reapply as directed; Carefully check clothing, scalp (whether wearing a hat or not) and any exposed skin when leaving an area where ticks might live;

Regularly check pets for ticks.

“Lyme disease is uncommon on Vancouver Island,” said Hoyano. “The disease can be serious, however; so it’s worth taking steps to avoid being bitten.”

Ticks are easiest to spot when they are actually sucking blood.

The feeding tick’s mouth will be under the skin, but the rest of it (which is bluegrey in colour) will be visible.

A tick should be removed carefully, without crushing it.

To find out more about ticks or what to do if you find one, please visit Healthlink B.C. at ww.healthlinkbc.ca/ healthfiles/hfile01.stm.

For information on Lyme disease, please visit www. bccdc.ca/dis-cond/a-z/_l/ LymeDisease/default.htm.

At Explore Your VIU sessions held every Tuesday at the Nanaimo campus, potential students will get a chance to explore programs VIU has to offer and what might be a good fit.

The weekly sessions, from 10-11 a.m. in Building 250, Room 308, will give participants an opportunity to make connections with each other and university educational counsellors.

“It’s another opportunity to support anyone who might be considering enrolling

in any trades, certificate, diploma or degree program during summer semester 2014, fall 2014 and beyond,” said Jennifer Merner, VIU educational counsellor and coordinator of the advising centre.

“It’s never too early to plan ahead. We want to help people connect with advisors and another group of potential students well before they start classes.”

Explore Your VIU sessions will appeal to anyone contemplating a career change, mature students, those hoping to re-enter the workforce, or stay-athome-parents thinking about returning to school.

Comedic duo

“

What we loved about standup was how stripped down it was ... just a man and a microphone.

Kevin Heffernan, left, and Steve Lemme perform an evening of standup comedy at the Queen’s Monday (July 22) starting at 7:30 p.m.

Kevin Heffernan and Steve Lemme bring their wit and humour on their standup comedy road tour

BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN

Great comedy isn’t about one-liners or gimmicky gags for Kevin Heffernan and Steve Lemme.

A good story is always at the core of their comedy routine. Life is funny. Strange or ordinary things that happen every day are fodder for the stage.

“Kevin and I both have kids so there is plenty of humour to be inspired by,” said Lemme. “We’re much more real life story orientated.”

Lemme said he was always a bit of a ham as a kid and used to perform plays for his family. But his career into the world of comedy didn’t start until he went to Colgate University in Hamilton, N.Y. During their time at university they became part of Broken Lizard, a five-member comedy group that created films. The first feature film in 1996, Puddle-Cruiser,

won various awards. They followed up that success with the cult-hit movies Super Troopers and Club Dread.

In 2009 the comedy duo went on tour with the Broken Lizard Stand Up, which was filmed for Comedy Central.

What the duo loves about standup comedy compared to films is the immediacy of creating material and getting an audience reaction.

“We had a blast. You could write a joke and put it up there and have a reaction that night,” said Heffernan.

“What we loved about standup was how stripped down it was … just a man and a microphone.”

Now they are hitting the road again and touring British Columbia for the first time in their careers.

They perform in Nanaimo at the Queen’s Monday (July 22).

behind the scenes moments from their films or funny scenarios that have happened to them as a result of being in their cult-hit films. Both have had interesting encounters with police because of their roles in Super Troopers.

Lemme said once he was speeding on the highway and was pulled over by the police. When the officer walked up to the window and recognized Lemme he got extremely excited because he was a huge fan of the movie. The two ended up on the side of the highway doing selfies.

“It was weird for spectators and weird for me. The cop was a major fan,” said Lemme.

Heffernan and Lemme perform at the Queen’s at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance from the bar, Lucid, Harbour City Music, The Dog’s Ear, www.ticket zone.com or $25 at the door. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Arleen Vivian Cummings

With broken hearts we announce the passing of Jacqueline (Jackie) Marie Milot, beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Never complaining, she fought a long battle with Multiple Sclerosis and heart disease. Jackie passed away quietly in her home on July 9, 2013.

Born in Ladysmith, BC on June 14, 1929, Jackie and her sister Mary grew up at the Diamond. In 1949 Jackie married the love of her life Edward (Ed) Milot. They spent the next sixtyfour years together. In 1989 they left Nanaimo and moved to the beach in Nanoose Bay. Their shared love of travel took Jackie and Ed to China, Mongolia and cruises to Alaska and Panama. They boated through the gulf islands and took their RV to Mexico, the USA and across Canada.

She loved square dancing and doing the jitterbug.

She is survived by her caring and loving husband Ed, daughter Arlene (Merv) Piper, son Gary (Francine) Milot; grandchildren Tracy (Maurice) Baldwin, Cory (SoďŹ a) Isaacs, Jeffrey Milot, Mellissa Milot, Calvin Milot, Derek Piper and Noel Piper; great grandchildren Peyton Baldwin, Alec and Tindra Isaacs, Alice and Eddie Milot and many nieces and nephews.

The family would like to thank Dr. Paris and the nurses from the emergency ward, Dr. Michael Lang and the nurses from the ďŹ rst oor of NRGH and Dr. Julia Hickey SummerďŹ eld from Parksville, BC. In lieu of owers donations can be made to BC Children’s Hospital at 938 – 28th Avenue West, Vancouver, BC V5Z 4H4.

Funeral Services will be held at Sands Funeral Chapel, #1 Newcastle Avenue, Nanaimo on Wednesday, July 17th at 12:00 Noon.

Coastal Timbermen hang on for OT win Inbrief I sports

SR. A LACROSSE team wins 10-9 at Maple Ridge.

As long as the T-men still have that chance at a playoff spot, they aren’t about to quit.

The Nanaimo Coastal Windows Timbermen senior A lacrosse team

defeated the Maple Ridge Burrards 10-9 in overtime Sunday on the road.

Nanaimo led 5-0 after one period but got outscored 5-1 in the third period to surrender the lead.

Blake Kenny’s marker with two minutes left in OT held up as the winner.

“The guys, they kept battling, defence stayed

strong, [Zak] Boychuk played good and the offence finally were able to score a goal there,” said Kaleb Toth, the team’s coach.

At the final buzzer, the teams let off some steam with a bit of a brawl.

“Just two emotional teams that had played two hard games in two nights,” Toth said. “Sometimes

tempers flare.”

Cody Bremner led the Timbermen offence with three goals and three assists, Jimmy Delaney had two and two and Jake Emms also scored twice.

Doug Langlois and Myles Kenny also tallied. Boychuk made 38 saves.

The night before, the T-men came out on the wrong end of an over-

time game, 8-6 against the Langley Thunder at Frank Crane Arena.

The outcome spoiled a 56-save effort from Boychuk. Langlois, Myles Kenny, Delaney, Bremner, Chris O’Dougherty and Paul Brebber scored in that one.

The T-men visit the Coquitlam Adanacs on Saturday (July 20).

Acme Timbermen face off in playoffs The Nanaimo Acme Timbermen go into the playoffs as one of the favourites, so now it’s time to start proving themselves.

The city’s senior B lacrosse team (11-3) starts the post-season Wednesday (July 17) when it hosts the Royal City Capitals (3-8-0-3) in Game 1 of a best-of-three first-round series.

The T-men finished tied with the Ladner Pioneers in the standings, but the bad guys got the No. 1 seed on goal differential.

Nanaimo ended off the regular season with a pair of road wins, doubling up the Valley Rebels 12-6 on Friday in Abbotsford and then edging the Port Moody Thunder 7-6 the next night.

In Friday’s victor y, the T-men outscored the Rebels 5-0 in the third period to turn a close game into a blowout. Blair Pinnock had three goals, Jon Diplock had two goals and four assists, Rick Fields had two and two and Josh Fagan scored twice.

Danny Walters was the winning goalie, making 38 saves.

The next night, Pinnock scored a pair and Nick Patterson was the winning goalie with 34 saves.

GAME ON … Wednesday’s game is at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena. Game 2 is Saturday in New Westminster and Game 3, if necessary, would be Sunday at 5 p.m. at the Frank. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

THE NEWS BULLETIN

Lisa Rokeby nears the finish line of the Run for the Mountain race last year.

Every year, the field of competitors gets larger, the times get faster, and the Run for the Mountain adds to its history.

The annual six-kilometre run/walk around Westwood Lake will take place Sept. 14 this year, so the planning and the training is starting now.

Mike Thibodeau, race director, said now that the Run for the Mountain is nearing its eighth annual running, “there’s some history to the event now.”

For example, he said,

Nanaimo football talent and coaching acumen helped Team B.C. win the Red River Cup football tournament.

B.C.’s U16 squad defeated Winnipeg West 34-21 on Saturday in Winnipeg to take gold.

B.C. was up against an undefeated opponent in the final, but got off to a hot start and held on.

“Team B.C. came to play,” said Sean Roden, the squad’s coach. “It was by far our best game of the tournament.

The boys clearly wanted it and came with high intensity and when we do that we have good results.”

Roden is from Nanaimo and so are three players – Brandon White, Carson Vos and Cory Fletcher.

Runners limbering up for Westwood Lake race

BY GREG SAKAKI

Nanaimo teens win in Winnipeg

Rebecca Bassett is a fivetime division champion, Erin Burrett has won four times and Shelby Drope has won three times.

“A bit of running history of Nanaimo now is happening and can be seen through this event,” Thibodeau said.

The men’s and women’s winners every year are crowned King and Queen of Westwood, and the masters and youth division winners get to call themselves Emperor, Empress, Prince and Princess of Westwood, respectively.

New this year is a team division to recognize an

Empire of Westwood. A team can have any number of participants and the top five times will count.

But the Run for the Mountain isn’t just for those hoping to become Westwood royalty.

“Not only does it have some of the fastest of the fast, it is also geared towards individuals who just want to go up and walk it or walk-run it,” Thibodeau said. “If someone is kind of new to running or walking or just trying to implement that into their lifestyle, this would be a very attainable event.”

And a worthwhile one.

The Run for the Mountain is a fundraiser for the Nanaimo Area Land Trust’s preservation of Mount Benson as a wilderness park.

Cost to register for the event is $20, and more information can be found on the race website at www.runforthemountain. ca. The site has a link to its Facebook page, where people can find information about the Saucony keychain search at Westwood Lake Park in the weeks leading up to race day. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Nanoose Bay’s Kelly Aspinall set a Canadian record and almost reached the podium at the Summer Universiade games in Kazan, Russia.

Aspinall, 23, swam the 50-metre butterfly in 23.52 seconds, just .14 seconds off medal pace.

The old record was 23.66 seconds, set

by Thomas Kindler in 2009.

“It’s kind of bittersweet,” said Aspinall in a press release. “I wanted to get the medal first of all. To miss out on it by that much was kind of frustrating.

“At about 40 metres I was aware of where the race was. I knew it was going to be a good swim. I didn’t know how fast it was going to be but I knew it was going to be a good one.”

Andrii Govorov of the Ukraine and Yauhen Tsurkin of Belarus tied for the gold medal.

The Universiade games are held every two years and are open to full-time university students. Aspinall swims for UBC.

Newspapers alive and well Canadians want their community newspapers Suzanne Raitt

Newspapers Canada

“

Newspapers are alive and well in Canada. Eight in 10 Canadians have read a newspaper in the last week in print or online. And each day, more than half of Canadians read.

If we just consider print newspapers for a moment, there are 21 per cent more print newspapers than there were in 1970. Furthermore, there were 10 new print newspapers launched in last year.

Canadians love print newspapers.

Eight in 10 Canadians have read a newspaper in the last week in print or online.

”

Many newspapers offer �lyers in print and electronic form. Eighty-�ive per cent of Canadians use �lyers – and by far (90 per cent) they tell us they use the print �lyer.

Canadians are embracing newspapers across all devices. Research shows the average Canadian touches newspaper media six times in a day: twice each in print and online, once via tablet and once on a phone.

Canadians want newspapers. They also want newspaper ads. They expect newspapers to have ads. And they trust ads in newspapers, both in print and online, more than ads in other media.

Why the misperception about newspapers? The data for Canadian newspapers is not the case in the United States. And their bad news spills over the border.

Suzanne Raitt

In the U.S., a city might have one local paper. In Canada, many of our cities have lots of options in terms of newspapers. More papers equals more competition, which keeps the industry on its toes. As such, Canadian papers provide lots of interesting options such as more colour, unique ad shapes and placement, QR codes, multimedia opportunities and more. In the U.S., papers had the opportunity to get sleepy (and they did).

Newspapers in Canada are vibrant. About one quarter of all ad dollars spend in media in Canada is spent in newspapers. This roughly matches the amount spent on TV. This is also more than the amount spent on internet advertising.

Advertisers clearly agree on the power of newspapers.

We lead the way in print and online.

Pirates make last push to secure playoff berth

I

TUESDAY’S GAMES will determine if ball team makes post-season.

A whole baseball season could come down to one doubleheader.

The Nanaimo Hub City Paving Pirates play the North Shore Twins today (July 16) at Serauxmen Stadium in the final games of the B.C. Premier Baseball League campaign.

The standings are complicated, but the seventh-place Pirates (2323) should be able to pin down one of the eight playoff berths if they win at least one game today against the tough Twins (29-15).

“We’re used to being higher in the standings,” said Doug Rogers, the team’s manager. “With this group we had all kinds of opportunities to solidify our spot and be comfortable going into the playoffs.”

The Pirates feel good about their game at this late stage of the season. The club spent this past weekend at a tournament in Centralia, Wash., where they won three of their four games and advanced to Monday’s playoff round but chose to withdraw and get ready for today’s games.

The manager said he expects his

Pressure games are sometimes a real good thing.

veteran players to respond well to the do-or-die doubleheader. As for the younger players, Rogers said he hopes they can try to relax and not let the pressure get to them, mentally.

“But pressure games are sometimes a real good thing, and if we get through, maybe we’re a little more dangerous come playoffs,” he said.

No matter what, today’s home games are the last of 2013, and the last-ever premier-league ball games for some players.

“It’s always emotional for me and for those kids as well,” Rogers said. “Some of them have played four, five, six years in this stadium.”

GAME ON … Today’s games are at noon and 2:30 p.m. at Serauxmen Stadium. Admission is $5 per game or $8 for a doubleheader. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

JR. B HOCKEY club building locker room at ice centre.

It’s even more of a big deal, now, to be on the Buccaneers.

The Nanaimo Buccaneers junior B hockey club is adding a little panache to the program with the construction of its own locker room at the Nanaimo Ice Centre.

Team owners Phil and Brenda Levesque oversaw the groundbreaking last week.

“It always was in the back of Phil’s mind that a junior B team should have its own dressing room,” said Brenda.

The new locker room is being built adjacent to the Nanaimo Minor Hockey Association office on the north side of the NIC. R.W. (Bob) Wall Contracting is handling the construction, but the $100,000 project has only become a reality thanks to numerous community sponsors. The City of Nanaimo’s parks and

“We told them what we wanted to do, they told us what we could do and it went way faster than I dreamed,” he said.

The Buccaneers are coming off a successful inaugural season in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League. The
