Cyclist thanks city for support during tsunami rebuilding
Gratitude ride
BY CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN
A
cyclist from Japan stopped by to say thanks and pay a second visit to his hometown’s sister city. Ryo Ambe, 32, of Saitama, Japan, Nanaimo’s sister city, was at Nanaimo city hall Monday to meet with Nanaimo Mayor John Ruttan and members of Central Vancouver Island Japanese-Canadian Society. Ambe was on the final leg of a trip up the West Coast, from San Diego to Vancouver. In 2011, Ambe cycled across Canada to thank Canadians for this country’s relief efforts following the devastating earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in March of that year. Ambe’s first visit to Nanaimo was especially meaningful, since it was his hometown’s sister city that raised more than $10,500 in relief funds through a local Red Cross campaign. Since his 2011 tour, he spent a lot of time on the saddle of his modified Giant touring bike with tours across Taiwan and New Zealand. Ambe said, through an interpreter, his most recent trip up the U.S. West Coast took two months and covered more than 3,000 kilometres. On the way, he stopped to help with ongoing

A group of Cedar parents are challenging Nanaimo school district’s plan to close schools in that area and a petition organized by the group is expected to go before the legislature today (July 18). Save Cedar Schools formed about 10 days ago after about 150 community members met to discuss next steps following the school board’s decision to move forward with several elements of its 10-year facilities plan, said spokesman Steve Rae. The group is reacting to the school board’s recent decision to close Cedar Secondary School at the end of next year with secondary students going to John Barsby or Ladysmith, c l o s e Wo o d b a n k Primary and North Cedar Intermediate schools in June 2015, and reopen Cedar Secondary as an elementary school in the 2015-16 school year. Trustees also voted to close South Wellington Elementary immediately. Rae said parents
have collected more than 500 signatures on a petition that calls for Education Minister Peter Fassbender to appoint a special advisor to the district to review the facilities plan, which NanaimoNorth Cowichan NDP MLA Doug Routley will take to the legislature today. “There’s thousands of people in this community who are very unhappy,” said Rae. “We understand that tough decisions need to be made. But the decision they made was a rushed judgment and it’s not the right thing to do.” Parents have concerns about the plan to move secondary students out of the community, including bullying, transportation, ability to participate in extracurricular activities, having the largest elementary school in the district and moving students from the newest high school to an older one. Where the money to renovate Cedar Secondary to accommodate elementary students is going to come from is also a concern, he said. ◆ See ‘SCHOOL’ /4

Sexual assault conviction nets jail time

Support teams earn mixed reviews
I
SChool DiSTRiCT will work with specialized group next year. By Jenn M c GarriGle The News BulleTiN
A new method to support students that Nanaimo school officials tried this year got off to a rocky start, but it will continue next year. Nanaimo school district’s new approach to helping struggling learners hinges on providing support to these students at an earlier stage – before they fail – by making teams of specialists available to teachers who request assistance in their classrooms. The model, called response to intervention, includes three tiers of intervention – support for an entire class, a group of students or an individual student with significant needs in academic or behavioural development. But a staff report presented at a recent board meeting acknowledges that not all district employees are jumping on board with
reporter@nanaimobulletin.com
the new model and this makes it difficult to move forward with the initiative, as it requires collaboration between all teachers, administrators and support staff. The report notes the district has been criticized for underestimating the extent of this change and not providing educators with sufficient communication, direction or leadership, and there is skepticism about the ability of the specialist teams to discuss a referral when team members don’t know anything about the student referred. But it also states that the implementation of the model has been more widespread than senior staff thought possible in “year zero” and those who are embracing the model are happy with the results. Mike Ball, president of the Nanaimo District Teachers’ Association, said the model was implemented at the beginning of the year with no input from or consultation with teachers and the district brought it in first, then tried to explain it to people after it was already in place. “I think the program has some merit, but do it properly,” he said.

“Apparently there was an implementation committee and no one was aware of it.” The union surveyed teachers in January and March to determine if the model is working and many members stated they were not involved at all in the rollout of response to intervention. Ball said the second survey’s results showed that some people had started to find the model useful, but others felt that resources were centralized and taken away from the classroom. “To be really fair, it needs another year to see if it’s going to function,” he said. “It can only improve from here, providing resources are available.” Ball said one change that could make a big difference is making decisions closer to the school level rather than through the district-level teams. Jamie Brennan, school board chairman, said the district needs to improve the referral process and ensure teachers see the benefits of the initiative. “I guess they may see it as a threat to their current practice, but it certainly isn’t,” he said.

A group campaigning to decriminalize marijuana possession has been denied booth space at one of Nanaimo’s largest festivals. Sensible B.C., a group led by marijuana activist Dana Larsen, proposes an amendment to the Police Act that would disallow police in B.C. to spend any time, money or resources on cases of simple possession of cannabis. Elections B.C. has given approval in principal for the group to lead a petition drive and starting Sept. 9, Sensible B.C. will have 90 days to collect signatures from at least 10 per cent of registered provincial voters in each of the province’s 85 electoral districts to trigger a referendum, as was done to repeal the HST. Larsen said the group booked a booth at the Nanaimo Marine Festival July 26-28 in Maffeo Sutton Park and the cheque was cashed, but then last week the group was told that it couldn’t have the booth after all and the money was returned. “We think that’s kind of odd and unfair,” he said. “We were always clear about what we were doing. We’re at a lot of events this summer to drum up awareness.” Bill McGuire, commodore with the Loyal Nanaimo Bathtub Society, said organizers try to stay away from politics and religion as well as anything that could be controversial at the festival and the group’s mandate does not fit with what the festival is all about. “We don’t try to say no to anything, but also we’re putting on an event that’s familyoriented and that has no place in our event,” he said. “We just felt that that one didn’t fit the bill.” The society made a mistake in allowing the application initially, McGuire added, and will look at how to prevent something like this from happening again.

A sexual assault conviction netted a Nanaimo man seven months jail time and three years probation. Daniel Raymond Sasseville pleaded guilty in May to one count of sexual assault and was sentenced July 4. The incident happened Feb. 21 at about 11 a.m. when a 23-year-old university student walking along a foot path near the Rotary Bowl running track noticed a man standing over a bicycle. According to the police report, he struck up a conversation with her as she passed by and began walking with her, then allegedly grabbed her buttocks and chest. The woman fled and reported the incident to campus security and based on her description, police arrested a suspect less than an hour later. Sasseville must abide by probation conditions that include a daily curfew of 9 p.m. to 7 a.m.; he must successfully complete a counselling program at the direction of his probation officer; he is not to be found on any unpaved walkway within one kilometre of Westwood Lake or Vancouver Island University; he must notify his probation officer if he develops a relationship with any female and provide her name and address; and he must have no contact with people he knows to be engaged in the sex trade.

Bike trips fully paid for by cyclist u From /1 Saitama Prefecture was one of the regions hit hard by the 2011 earthquake. Ambe said he will have to settle down when he gets home to work for a while to finance future trips. He personally finances all his cycling tours by working various jobs – he worked in department stores, for an insurance company and even in a hospital, delivering medicine – to raise cash when he is at home. He believes paying his own way keeps the focus
on his message of thanks and avoids him being viewed as a piece of rolling advertising for various sponsors. Ambe has been staying at the Painted Turtle Guesthouse and left Nanaimo this morning (July 18) for a visit to Victoria before returning to Japan. Ambe has recored his travels, which he has posted on his online diary that can be viewed by visiting http://transcontinentaldiary.blogspot.ca/p/westcoastusacanada2013.html. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

School board moves forward
u From /1 “It will have a devastating impact on our community as a whole,” said Rae. Routley said he will submit the petition and deliver a statement to the legislature asking government to recognize the impact school closures will have on the community and to step up and provide additional resources, including a special advisor, to allow for more consultation to come up with a plan that better answers the priorities of constituents. “[Constituents] are telling me, without exception, that this plan does not suit what they have told the district,” he said. “This is a prime example of where the circumstances are unique. It’s unreasonable to bus kids for an hour or two hours to another community.” Joining the Save Cedar Schools coalition to challenge the school closure plans is Snuneymuxw First Nation. Chief Douglas White III said Snuneymuxw is seeking time to reconsider and talk about the decision. He said it will be looking into all avenues to challenge the district’s decision.
J a m i e B re n n a n , school board chairman, said the board is determined to move forward with the Cedar element of the facilities plan. “It’s a key component because of our ability to do it without needing assistance from the provincial government,” he said, adding that money from the district’s annual facilities grant could be used to do the renovations. Brennan said consolidating secondary students will allow students access to better support services, more extra-curricular opportunities and increased course selections, and trustees will work with staff to provide transportation options that allow Cedar students to take advantage of extra-curricular activities. “If people want to continue to oppose it, they can do that,” he said. “But this school board is moving forward.” reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Trio arrested after home invasion Three men have been arrested and remain in custody after a violent home invasion on the weekend. The incident happened at a home in the 2000 block of East Wellington Road Sunday morning when three residents were assaulted, tied up with duct tape and their home searched. Police were called in at about 5 a.m. when the residents, who ranged in age from 18 to 49, called 911 and reported a number of men had broken into their home. Mounties searched throughout the day for five suspects and managed to arrest three of the suspects at two separate locations. Police also searched a home on Nicol Street at 5:30 a.m. Monday, but failed to make any further arrests. The three suspects that were apprehended, two of them 22 years old and one of them 30, are known to police and were expected to appear in Nanaimo provincial court Monday. Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman, said the incident was a tar-
geted home invasion and not random. Police believe they have identified the other suspects involved and warrants are being prepared for their arrests.
Multiple complaints lead to man’s arrest Nanaimo Mounties arrested a man following complaints of shots fired on the weekend. Police responded at the Frew Road area of Cedar shortly after 10 p.m. Friday when they received multiple complaints from residents about shots being fired in the area. One resident even said he could hear the sound of a shotgun’s action being cycled. Officers and a police dog team searched the area and found a shotgun shell casing. Police soon came upon a man they suspected of being involved with the shooting who ran off after ignoring repeated commands from the officers. A police dog and handler tracked and caught the suspect a short distance away. When police searched the suspect they found he had a knife and pepper spray. The suspect was bitten on the arm by the police dog during the arrest and was taken to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital for treatment before he was released into police custody. During a search of the area police also found a 12-gauge shotgun and spent shell casings in the area plus an axe, which police believe was in the suspect’s possession
when the suspect – a 22-yearold Nanaimo man – was confronted by the officers. Police continue their investigation into the incident. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-877-222-8477 or online at www.crimestoppers.com.
Firearms surrendered during gun amnesty Guns, rifles and pistols were turned over to Nanaimo RCMP during the recent B.C. Gun Amnesty Program, which aimed to get unwanted firearms safely disposed of and prevent them from possibly falling into the wrong hands. During the amnesty period, June 1-30, people in Nanaimo had police pick up more than 140 firearms that included non-restricted rifles and shotguns, 12 restricted handguns, 11 prohibited handguns and other firearms, five air guns that were actually exempt from firearm status and about 1,000 rounds of ammunition. “The number is still going to go up a little because there are still some files in the queue,” said O’Brien. Among the prohibited firearms were a .25-calibre Colt semi-automatic pistol and a .32-calibre Browning semiautomatic pistol. Primary safety reasons for turning in unwanted firearms to the police are to prevent children from possibly finding and playing with them and to stop them from being stolen during home break-ins and falling into the hands of criminals.
Backyard fire suspected of igniting shed Lighting a backyard fire to sit around for an evening proved a little too toasty for a garden shed at a property on Townsite Road. Firefighters arrived to find a shed fully engulfed in flames at about 2:30 a.m. Monday at 934 Townsite Rd. “Two fellows had been outside earlier with one of those backyard fire pits and they smoked and had mosquito incense burning,” said Ennis Mond, Nanaimo Fire Rescue fire prevention officer. Mond said he was not sure whether it was smoking, the
mosquito coils or the fire pit that started the blaze, but the fire pit is the prime suspect. The pit had a metal cover that was not adequate to keep the wind from possibly blowing embers out of the pit and onto tinder in the yard or the shed itself, which was located less than three metres away from the fire. The fire pit was also not doused with water before the men turned in for the night. “That’s what we’re suspecting at this time,” Mond said. “They’d gone to bed and then one of the guys woke up and
heard the crackling and snapping sound of something burning.” The shed and its contents were destroyed. Shrubbery and fencing were also damaged by the fire, but there was no damage to the main house and no one was injured. Because of dry summer conditions, there is currently a ban on all outdoor fires, other than small cooking fires, in Nanaimo. “Somehow the message isn’t getting out to all the people,” Mond said.

Pit bulls dragged behind pickup now recovering

Police have arrested one man and confiscated two pit bull terriers after the dogs were dragged behind a pickup truck. Mounties responded at about 3 p.m. Friday after receiving a report a man had tied two pit bulls behind his pickup truck and was dragging them down Leask Road in Cedar. “One was a puppy. The other was a mature dog,” said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman. “The puppy couldn’t keep up, so it was dragged – ripped its paw, shoulder, so it was in shock. The mature dog was able to keep up with the vehicle and wasn’t injured.” The incident was witnessed by at least three people and was first spotted by a motorist behind the truck who saw the animals being dragged and was frantically blowing his horn to get the truck’s driver to stop. That caught the attention of a couple in their yard on Leask Road who ran to help and called the police. They estimated the pickup was driving at regular traffic speed for the area. “The speed of traffic in that area is anywhere from 35 to 50 kilometres per hour,” O’Brien said. The witness said the truck, which had turned on to Leask Road from Ivor Road, travelled at least 200 metres down Leask Road before it was stopped. “By the time [one of the witnesses] got out there the puppy was out cold,” O’Brien said. “The [driver] just picked up the dog and threw it in the back of the pickup. The older dog was frantic and was in pretty bad shape as well. It could barely keep up with the truck.” The puppy received significant bruising to its torso, had raw patches on its legs and shoulders and required immediate hospitalization. Upon examining the dogs, police arrested the 27-year-old suspect. He was released on condition he have no contact with animals and will appear in Nanaimo provincial court Sept. 3 to face a recommended charge of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal. O’Brien said the dogs were treated by a local veterinary hospital and returned to their owners, who are the parents of the man accused of abusing the dogs, O’Brien said. “The puppy will recover,” he said.
What was supposed to be a quick outing to a back country lake turned out to be an ordeal lasting several hours when a Ladysmith family found itself stranded behind a locked logging road gate on the weekend. Misty Tovey, her threeyear-old son and boyfriend thought it would be fun to go check out McKay Lake, located beyond the end of Spruston Road in the hills above Cassidy, Saturday afternoon, but their short outing ran into a snag when, not knowing the area, they missed the lake and drove through an open gate on a logging road. “We’re new to the area and we’d heard about the lake up there, so we thought that afternoon we’d go and try and find it,” Tovey said. “We go through this open gate and we thought we must be getting close to the beach or whatever. Two or three minutes up the road this truck passes by us, going the other way real slow and waving and smiling and we wave and smile and we acknowledge each other. “We drive another two minutes up the road and there’s this great big gate, so we turned around to drive back
and they’d locked us in.” Tovey said the other party had been on the road cutting firewood. The driver knew they were there, but locked the gate behind him, blocking them in. Tovey, her son and boyfriend were a family in a minivan, she was wearing a dress and it seemed unlikely, she said, that they could have been mistaken for another party out cutting firewood who would have had had a key for the gate. The family tried to find another way out, but when that search proved fruitless and fearing they might run out of fuel, they parked the minivan by the locked gate. Tovey said she is familiar with the bush and normally there should be a sign posted on or near a logging road gate warning of potential road closures after certain hours and phone numbers people can call for help if they do become stranded or want a woodcutting permit. She found nothing in the area. Two men finally came by who took Tovey’s boyfriend to get his car, so the family could at least drive home. In the meantime she contacted another family member who managed to call two gate security people from Nanaimo Lakes who drove out and unlocked the gate. “They were so nice to us and they had to drive 40 minutes from their house on a Saturday evening to let us out,” Tovey said. All told, the family was

stranded behind the gate for more than four hours and an estimated 10 kilometres from the end of Spruston Road. Tovey said she wants to warn people that this could happen to anyone who passes through a logging road gate. TimberWest owns forest lands around McKay and Nanaimo Lakes and controls public access to them. Sue Handel, TimberWest communications manager, would not speak to the particular incident, but said TimberWest lands are private property and people going into those lands are trespassing if they do not have a company permit to enter them. “We are attentive to the issue because of the risk to public safety, vandalism, dumping and the liability to us that comes from people essentially trespassing on our lands,” Handel said. “We do remind people that in order to access it legally, we need to have some kind of agreement. It’s not even enter at
your own risk. It’s trespass if you don’t have prior permission. There is no opportunity for access unless it’s co-ordinated through our office.” TimberWest gets large numbers of access requests from individuals, but the company prefers to deal with organized groups or clubs that have insurance coverage for their members, which makes it easier for the company to communicate information about safety, closures and operational issues to the members through one contact person. The company strongly encourages people who want to access TimberWest lands to join one of those organized recreation groups or clubs. Handel said contractors who drive in and out of a gate several times a day might leave it open, but an open gate is not an invitation to enter TimberWest property. “They’ll leave a gate open if they’re in and out of it five times a day, but an open gate shouldn’t be construed as permission to access the area,” Handel said. “That’s it in a nutshell. Access is not permitted without permission, particularly at this time of year when one our primary concerns is the risk of wildfire. It’s just a bad time to be out there.” For more information about TimberWest access policy, to view maps of areas owned by the company and other information, please visit www. timberwest.com. photos@nanaimobulletin.com
Council supports legion’s request to license patio By Jenn M c GarriGle The News BulleTiN
Members of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 256 may soon be able to enjoy an alcoholic beverage on the legion’s outdoor patio. Legion of ficials have applied to the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch for an outdoor licensed patio at its property at 1630 East Wellington Rd. The matter went before
Nanaimo city council last week for support, which was given after a short presentation from legion representatives. Darwyn Henry, legion president, told council the group has a 46.5-square metre patio with cedar fencing and several picnic tables that it would like to have added onto the legion’s liquor licence. He said the legion is not a heavy drinking establish-
ment, but officials want to give members the option of sitting out there with a glass of wine or other alcoholic beverage. “A lot of us like to be out there in the fresh air,” he said. The patio would be nonsmoking, would be closed at 10 p.m. each evening and have an occupancy of about 50 people. The patio is behind the legion and not visible from Quarter way Elementar y
School, and of 65 comment sheets delivered to owners and occupants of the properties within 100 metres of the legion, nine were returned, with six in favour and three opposed to the change. Robert Chow, service officer with the legion, assured council the area would be fully monitored and that the legion is not increasing the physical capabilities of its lounge. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

EDITORIAL
Festival season shows off city It’s that season in Nanaimo. In other parts of the world, people call it summer. But in Nanaimo, it’s just as accurate to call the three to four months of warm weather festival season. Earlier this year, the city celebrated multiculturalism with a festival in June, followed by dragon boat teams from all across Canada in early July. Coming up Sunday is the annual Silly Boat Regatta, where teams build seaworthy vessels out of recycled material and race for bragging rights for the year. The week after is Nanaimo’s signature summer event, the Marine Festival, with live music, activities and street fair, although it’s really about the Great International Championship Bathtub Race from Nanaimo Harbour to Departure Bay beach. Count in the Vancouver Island Exhibition and Summertime Blues Festival in August, plus the Harvest Food Festival in September, and nearly every weekend in summer includes some form of local entertainment and activity. Many of these events not only raise money – the dragon boat festival supports Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation, while the Silly Boat Regatta is the major fundraiser for Nanaimo Child Development Centre – they also raise awareness of other aspects of our community, from cultures to farming to art and music. While it might be tempting to climb aboard B.C. Ferries for an escape, or hit the road in any direction, those tourist activities like sandy beaches, exotic culture and food, or exciting sports can be found right here in Nanaimo. The Harbour City is situated on one of the most popular islands in the Pacific Ocean – people arrive by the thousands annually to vacation in the city we live year round. It might be time to find out what all the fuss is about. The Nanaimo News Bulletin is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

What the opposition has dubbed “Christy Clark’s wheelchair tax” is another case in point. A Fraser Health Authority official patiently explained what was really going on here. An average $35 monthly rent for wheelchairs is charged at the majority of care facilities, which are contracted by the health authority. Operators charge as they see fit for maintenance, disinfection and replacement of this equipment, for patients who don’t own their own chairs. In September, a $25 fee is to be extended to the few facilities still directly run by Fraser Health, which have aging equipment and no fees. It would be useful for our politicians to frankly discuss the trend towards contracted health services, and the role of user fees in forcing people to take more responsibility for maintaining their own health. But that is not what happens. The narrative of dumping frail, impoverished seniors from their wheelchairs has no relationship to reality, but it’s how post-modern political theatre is done. u Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

NRGH nurses concerned about patient outcomes To the Editor,
Re: Workplace safety a winner for VIHA, June 28 This safety award that VIHA has won is a difficult pill to swallow for nurses at NRGH right now. They are faced with losing nurses on any and every given shift while VIHA cuts them back. Nurses fear for the safety and outcomes of their patients and is the No. 1 stressor on their minds as the care delivery model is implemented. Our communities should be concerned about the level of care they are going to receive as nurses become stretched even further. They are being replaced by care aides, who are an integral part of the care team, but are not specialized in nursing assessments and skills. Allison Cutler may have deserved this award but as a whole VIHA doesn’t. I would ask that front-line staff at the affected sites be polled next year and see what they have to say then.

Expensive food? It’s all relative To the Editor,
Re: Canned tuna tastes all right, Letters, July 9 Food being “expensive” is a myth. How much do people pay for water, wine, lattes? Relative to wages, food has been ridiculously cheap for 60 years. The average Canadian spends only 10 cents of every earned dollar on food. Europeans spend 18 to 35 per cent. Much of the world spends 50 per cent. Turks and Vietnamese spend 85 per cent. Westerners are spoiled consumers, who enjoy a criminally high standard of living which was created by colonization, unfair trade, slave labour, the rape of other cultures and their environments. This is facilitated by lies, military might, international finance, currency manipulation, modern machinery and transportation systems that all run on oil mixed with blood.

City spending needs fresh thinking To the Editor,
As Canada Day passed this month, we could all look back and think how thankful we all should be at what a great country our forefathers made for us. It is too bad that as we look ahead we do not see the same type of guidance. A few weeks ago an article in a national news magazine identified city spending problems, not revenue problems. Many of us believe that the Nanaimo council wants to be one of the leaders in this, too. It seems every week there are announcements of new ways to spend tax dollars. Council needs to look at how they decide to spend our tax dollars as the “budget” system now in place has failed. We have all seen where the money is spent before the budget is approved and that there is a belief that budgets must be increased each year just and the sun rises and sets each day.
We need to redefine success in government as not to be the one that spends tax dollars the fastest, but who has the most tax dollars not spent at the end of the year. We need guidelines to get back on track. We should concentrate only on the basic things a city should provide and that is water, sewer, roads, safety (fire and police protection), and parks for our enjoyment. I also think we should add a sixth called, for lack of a better name, a helping fund, that would be three per cent of the annual budget. This would cover arts grants, dragon boat support, etc. Organizations would apply and when the three per cent is spent, there is no more. Council and taxpayers have to rethink how our tax dollars are spent as they are not as much of a renewable resource as many believe they are. Terry Wagstaff Nanaimo

Our government is making us sick. Between the hot water extraction of oil sands, water fracturing for natural gas, the destruction of riparian zones and deadly industrial fertilizers used in reforestation with logging in our watersheds, and the international companies siphoning water from our aquifers to sell it back to us in plastic bottles, where does our health come in? Apparently our government forgot to factor in the importance of water to the life of the human being as well as the environment. That’s not to mention the carcinogenic and toxic chemicals involved in these processes and the byproducts of which that is poured back into our environment. So what does our government do with our tax dollars? They suck more out of our ailing medical system to support these industries that are making us sick in the first place and force us to pay more out of pocket to regain our health. If that

The Greater Nanaimo Chamber members have always been willing to assist those in need. Alberta has just gone through some of the most devastating flooding that province has ever seen. It will take years to repair, reconstruct and revitalize communities in Alberta. High River was one of many communities hit hard by the flood. The High River Chamber building has been condemned and all their equipment totally destroyed, records lost and their major source of revenue during the summer – the visitors’ centre – will not be able to open this year. To help, the Nanaimo chamber aims to raise $10,000 to help the High River Chamber of Commerce rebuild from the devastating flood. To date, the chamber raised $5,000 from Hazelwood Construction and $1,000 from Baywood Glass.
To donate, write a cheque to the Alberta Chambers of Commerce Disaster Relief Fund and send it to the Nanaimo chamber at 2133 Bowen Rd., Nanaimo, B.C., V9S 1H8, or call 250-7561191 to arrange to have it picked up. High River is a town of 15,000 and this disaster has hit them hard, but they are still trying to serve their townspeople with very limited resources. Ken Kobly, of the Alberta chamber, said that businesses are still waiting to get back on their premises. Many of them have found their buildings declared structurally unsound, and many will be dealing with insurance issues – both personal and business loss. A strong chamber of commerce would help get them back on their feet. To contribute directly to the Red Cross, please call 1-800-4181111 or visit www.redcross.ca.

Adoption fees reduced for adult cats The B.C. SPCA is holding a special adoption promotion featuring half-price adult cat adoption fees from today (July 18) to July 31 in response to the overwhelming number of felines in care at its shelters. Currently 743 adult cats are being cared for at SPCA facilities across the province. “The B.C. SPCA takes in more than 15,000 homeless felines each year and right now our shelters are filled to capacity,” says Bob Busch, general manager of operations for the B.C. SPCA. “We always see an influx of animals at our shelters during the summer season and this year is no exception. We hope this special promotion will be an incentive for people who have thought through their decision to adopt a cat and are just waiting for the right time.” Busch said people who adopt cats from the SPCA are getting exceptional value, even without a special promotion. “The B.C. SPCA’s average cost to care for a cat during its stay is $784, much higher than the actual adoption fee. Our costs include vaccinations, spaying or neutering, an identification tattoo or microchip, preventative treatment for internal and external parasites, any medical care or rehabilitation required, daily welfare monitoring, sheltering and feeding.” While the goal of the promotion is to find loving homes for as many adult cats as possible, all of the usual adoption criteria will apply. This special adoption promotion will also include 50 per cent off rabbit adoption fees to help find homes for the 80 rabbits presently in B.C. SPCA care. Busch said the majority of these rabbits have each spent more than 100 days in shelters. For more details, please visit www. spca.bc.ca/halfprice love.

Chiropractor celebrates Christmas in July to spark spirit of giving When the word Christmas comes to mind, most people have thoughts of winter, family and the gift of giving. During those months leading up to and through December donations are much needed and this is usually the time in when the most is given.
July is warm and people forget that it is during the middle of the year when local food banks and charities are the most in need. With this understanding, Lifehouse Chiropractic Studio has marked July 25 on the calendar as Christmas in July
Chiropractor Norm Detillieux has been a longtime supporter of the Salvation Army, donating a few hours of his time each week at the New Hope Centre in downtown Nanaimo for the past three years. He also holds a donation day each year.
Along with a complimentary adjustment for the food donation, the studio will be offering people who have not experienced chiropractic care at the Lifehouse or want a second opinion on a health concern an opportunity to explore what chiropractic could do
for them by offering an initial consultation and examination at no charge (normally a $100 value) when people make a food donation. The Lifehouse Chiropractic Studio is located at 1710 Jingle Pot Rd. For more information, please call 250-740-0333.

Global Village trip builds homes Vancouver Island residents interested in travelling the globe and helping people in need can accomplish both during a Habitat for Humanity Global Village trip to Bali this fall. Linda Kostyk, a Vancouver Island resident and Habitat trip leader, is guiding the first Canadian team of volunteers on a build project in Bali, Indonesia, Oct. 18 to Nov. 3. The project is in northern Bali, an area usually secluded from the country’s tourist trade. Participants will help families build a home. There is no age limit for participants, but they must be in good health. “It’s an opportunity

Second donation in pledge delivered Central Vancouver Island Scotiabank branches presented their second installment toward a $50,000 pledge to the Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation. The contribution was directed toward the new emergency department at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. Specifically, it will help the Psychiatric Intensive Care and Psychiatric Emergency Services wing deliver necessary programs to patients. The new department is nearly triple the size of the old ER and opened to the public last fall;
it is expected to serve more than 60,000 visitors this year. The psychiatric wing offers a private unit for mental health and addictions patients to seek care. “Scotiabank’s support has made an incredible difference to the foundation’s ability to provide equipment helping patients visiting emergency at NRGH,” said Christine McAuley, chairwoman of the hospital foundation. Since 1991, Scotiabank has contributed more than $135,000 to health care for central Vancouver Island residents.

Garden venue attracts dozens of Island artists BY MELISSA FRYER THE NEWS BULLETIN
Western Canada tour this summer to promote the album. Boone said members of the band were careful to keep the sound real and not over tune the songs. “If you make it too perfect it’s too sterile,” said Boone. “It doesn’t have anything anymore.” Five Years Further performs at the Cambie Friday (July 19) at 8 p.m. He said members are ready to put on an exciting show. “The best way to describe what we do is we bring the boom,” said Boone. “We’ll have a lot of fun, but we’ll rock out hard.” For more information about the band, please go to www.fiveyears further.com.
Only in its fourth year, Art in the Garden already attracts dozens of artists from across the Island to its lush grounds. Situated on four hectares of property owned by Lesley and Mike Seselja in Nanoose, 52 artists working in a range of mediums from jewelry to fabric, blacksmithing and forging converge on the grounds Saturday and Sunday (July 20-21). “We’re full to capacity this year,” said Kris Walker, a sculptor and one of the organizers of the event. Some of the 52 artists include Ron Zaborniak from Lee River Woodturning, who turns discarded blocks of wood into one-of-a-kind art pieces like bowls, pots and candlesticks. Or Leanne Helin, who incorporates her Tsimshian First Nation heritage into her silver jewelry pieces. Even food gets the artistic treatment, with Sugar Shack Cupcakes offering sweet treats and hot coffee on site. The event, although much smaller, carries the ART IN THE GARDEN same spirit as the takes place Saturday Filberg Festival in and Sunday (July the Comox Valley. 20-21), 10 a.m. to Art in the Garden 4 p.m., at 2525 isn’t as strictly jurNorthwest Bay Rd. ied as the Filberg, Admission by donation. but members of the organizing committee make sure that all goods are made by those displaying them, and ensure that the event features a variety of artists. Like the Filberg, musicians are a big part of the artistic celebration. “We also showcase local musical talent,” Walker said. Playing music from a small floating stage on the property’s pond are Terry Mack, Bobbi Chill, Marty Steele, Theo Massop and Bood a Boom, and the Coombs Old Time Fiddlers. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days at 2525 Northwest Bay Rd. Admission is by donation and proceeds will be donated to Nanoose Counselling Service, which operates the food bank in the community. The previous three events raised $7,200 for the food bank, which serves about 100 people per month. For more information, please visit www.nanoosebayartinthegarden.com.

Songs start with just a simple riff I FIVE YEARS Further plays The Cambie Friday (July 19) on western tour. BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN
Five Years Further is rocking across Western Canada to promote its new album Perfection is Lifeless. The hard rock band incorporates a variety of styles into its music, but stays true to its roots. Cameron Boone, Five Years Further’s lead singer and songwriter, said the songs were created in his basement studio. “I come up with a riff or an idea and

go in the studio and start laying down tracks. I come up with an idea and it spawns from there,” he said. The lyrics he creates are based on emotions stirred by the music. He’ll often listen to the track over and over letting it ebb into him and tap into those emotions and start singing lyrics it inspires. “It’s so simple and catchy, that’s one of the things I enjoy,” he said.. Perfection is Lifeless, a 12-song album, comes out July 27. “We have so many great songs, each with their own distinctive vibe and feeling, that it felt wrong to try to cut it down to four or five,” said Lex Kosinski, the group’s bass player, in a press release.

Summer music on band’s list at free concert Nanaimo Concert Band hosts a free concert in Maffeo Sutton Park Monday (July 22) evening. More than 50 brass and woodwind musicians will be performing a range of musical genres, including swing, classical and musicals. “We’re going to do lots of fun, light summer music for this concert,” said Shari Barker, publicity director. “The whole family will love it. There’s going to be a lot of musical energy and we’ll get your toes tapping.” The band’s conductor, John Forbes, a Victoria Music Hall of Famer, spent 30 years in the military band system. There, he played everything from keyboards to tuba, trumpet and percussion, and served as a concert pianist, vocalist, conductor
and staff arranger for the military. He was also a Nanaimo Concert Band member before becoming its conductor. “He’s an amazing man and conductor and so full of energy, we just get so excited when we play under him,” Barker said. Nanaimo Concert Band was founded in 1872 by Rev. James Reynard and originally known as Nanaimo Brass Band. Its current members are primarily based in Nanaimo, but a few travel from Ladysmith, Chemainus and Parksville to get their musical fix. The band’s oldest member, Al Campbell, has played with the band for nearly 70 years. “It’s like a large family, and music’s their life,” said Barker, who played clarinet with

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities
Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities. Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently. Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own. Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in. Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for
easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats. Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis. If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help. Since the program began, more than 300 households completed renovations with HAFI financial assistance, making it possible for seniors and people with disabilities to continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home.

V.I. Raiders receiver Arthur Fabbro, left, goes for a catch as teammate Douglas Nikolai tries to break up the play during a drill at practice Monday night at Comox Field.
Field over the past week to gauge the players. The football club has also used the time to take care of matters such as registration, housing and employ-
ment. The goal is to have as many of those distractions out of the way as possible by today. “So we can take advantage of every sec-
ond we have up there,” Blokker said. The Raiders need to make the most of their time. With so many newcomers, there’s a lot of learning and
teaching that needs to take place. “We have to start from the very, very basics,” said the coach. “Our playbook right now has shrunk right down. We’ll build as we can execute.” Still, players will be expected to learn quickly. The advantage to having 81 players, said Blokker, is that if one guy isn’t getting it, there’s probably someone else on the sidelines who does get it. “We want to get the train going 100 miles and hour and the only way we’ll do that is not stop it for people that don’t know what they’re doing,” said the coach. “And when they do find out what they’re doing, they can get back on the train.” There is competition for starting spots and playing time at virtually every position on the field.

It’s a new football season, and the V.I. Raiders are starting fresh. Nanaimo’s Canadian Junior Football League team opens main camp today (July 18) at the Campbell River Sportsplex, with the season opener eight days away. The Raiders – who saw their string of six straight B.C. championships end in 2012 – will be a new-look team this summer. There are 81 players on the roster right now, a majority of them new to the black, white and red. “We’ve got some really good football players, guys that understand the game and how to play it,” said Matthew (Snoop) Blokker, Raiders coach. “Yeah, we’re young, but we’re young and talented and I’ll take that anytime.” If 81 sounds like a lot of players, it is. “We haven’t carried that many players so we’ve got some logistics to make sure that we do right so that we still can create the type of tempo and not have guys sitting around,” Blokker said. He and the other members of the coaching staff have had four practices at Comox

Timbermen will play hard until it’s over BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
The Nanaimo Timbermen have demonstrated again and again that there’s still fight left in them. The city’s senior A lacrosse team defeated the Maple Ridge Burrards 10-9 in overtime Sunday to keep its slim playoff hopes alive. The T-men (5-10) are still in seventh and last place in the Western Lacrosse Association, but they definitely have a heartbeat. “If the stars are aligned, we might sneak into that fourth spot,” said Kaleb Toth, the team’s coach. “So that’s what we’re hoping. But we can only take care of ourself and let everybody else do their own thing. Hopefully if we just take care of business, things will fall into place.” With three games left, the T-men are six points back of the third-place Burnaby Lakers and four points back of the fourthplace Burrards. Toth said he hopes his guys will sustain the effort they’ve been exhibiting all season long. “The guys are playing hard and there’s a lot of pride in our dressing room,” said the coach.

Raiders want to be ready to play four quarters u From /B1
The Raiders’ defensive lineup, in particular, is very much up in the air with around 50 guys competing for the 12 starting jobs. One of the ways guys
can separate themselves is with their conditioning. Blokker said he expects this year’s main camp to be the most physically demanding yet. “We’ve got to create that discipline and fit-
ness,” he said. “We want to be that team in the fourth quarter that’s moving one way and not the other.” Main camp is never any summer holiday, and there’s a sense of
urgency, too, as the B.C. Football Conference regular season starts five days after camp ends. “At the end of it we’re definitely going to have our guys ready to go for Week 1,” Blokker said.
GAME ON … The Raid-
ers start the CJFL season July 27 when they play the Westshore Rebels at 7 p.m. at Victoria’s Bear Mountain Stadium. V.I.’s home opener is Aug. 10. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Players benefit from Team B.C. experience The local football players at the Red River Cup this month in Winnipeg didn’t just get gold, they gained something from the experience. Nanaimo’s Glenn Cook, defensive coordinator of the U16 Team B.C. squad, said the local players – Brandon White, Carson Vos and Cory Fletcher – all played well and he said White was one
of the best defensive backs at the tourney. The team “opened some eyes” to B.C. football, said Cook, and he credited the players. “We showed up there, we’d never practised together … and we ended up winning the whole thing,” he said. “It shows that the kids were ready to go and they were open to learning.”

Pirates win last two before playoffs BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN
The Nanaimo Pirates needed a win on the last day of the regular season. They got two, and also some good feelings as they head into playoffs. The Hub City Paving Pirates swept the North Shore Twins 7-6 and 4-1 on Tuesday at Serauxmen Stadium. “We took these as must-win games…” said Tristan Olsen, who hit a basesclearing triple in the second game. “We wanted to come out here and do the best we could.” It was a rough start for the home team as the Pirates got down 4-0 in the first inning of the first game. It was 6-3 for the Twins going into the bottom of the seventh, but the Pirates came back and Devon Geary hit a game-winning single. “We pulled it out. That’s usually what we do,” Geary said. “We’re known for the last-inning heroics.” There was relief and excitement to win that game and secure a playoff spot, said

Maybe young soccer talent will help national team someday ified for the World Cup since 1986. The most recent embarrassment was our men’s team losing 1-0 this month to Martinique in Gold Cup competition. Obviously Floro will have his work cut out for him. Locally, this past season marked what apparently will be the final one for bantam (born 1999-2000) girls’ soccer competition in Nanaimo elementary schools. A decision has been
made that will see the sport replaced with another activity in coming years. Annette Noble coordinated the league this year. In the large school division, the playoff final pitted McGirr against Rutherford and it was the McGirr squad that prevailed 3-1. Players on the championship team were Jenelle Boutin, Taylor Matsuo, Katy McKillop, Kimberly Purdy, Hannah Rafuse, Sara Spencer,

Your help was greatly appreciated. A huge bouquet of thAnk Yous to Dan and the team at AC Taxi for tending to details so a wheelchair-bound grandmother could attend her grandson’s wedding on Thetis Island.

Donations of refundables and cash during the Bottles for the River fundraiser totalled more than $1,200.

A huge thAnks on behalf of everyone who Ms. Rynanen has helped over the years. You have helped many students achieve their goals, including myself and many of my friends. You are not only the best math teacher I’ve ever had, you are also the best teacher I’ve ever had. You go above and beyond to help your students and even those who aren’t your students. You are a superhero.
A bouquet to all the food trucks at Maffeo Sutton Park during the Nanaimo Dragon Boat Festival. It’s so nice to have a choice and to enjoy a meal in the fresh air at the water’s edge at the same time. They should be there all summer.
the cAt’s Meow to the man from Davey Tree Services, who climbed up a spindly tree in the Brookwood area to rescue a scared cat free of charge. These are the fellows you want doing your tree work. A big thank you to our neighbours, Mika and Randy, for caring enough to organize the rescue and spend their only day off dealing with this problem. A greAt big bouquet to the Big Mess, a father and son duo that played in the Bowen Park amphitheatre recently. Funny, talented and entertaining. I couldn’t sit still, the music was fabulous. I can’t wait to hear you again.
A beAutiful bouquet of red roses to Chris Hamlyn, former assistant editor of the Nanaimo News Bulletin. Thank you for your nice articles. A bouquet. Broom is a delight to see, especially alongside roadways. The bees enjoy broom and we need the bees. Also it is bright on dark, cloudy days. A big beef to all opposed to removing the dams in Colliery Dam Park. It is not about your selfish needs and wants, it’s about the safety of the citizens. Since when are you all more qualified than a professional engineer? A beef. Prices at thrift stores have risen considerably and it’s almost cheaper to shop sales at regular retail outlets now.
A beef stew to the young man next door who asked if my dogs could stop barking because he had a hangover. You should’ve thought of that when you threw that loud rager last night. A slow down beef to the driver who not only hit a spotted baby deer on Hammond Bay Road this morning, but flattened it. Its mother stood beside her dead baby not knowing what to do. I cried all the way to work. Slow down – this image is something I will never get out of my head. A piece of MAMMoth beef to the person who dumped a big-screen TV up above Doumont Road recently, then smashed it to pieces to make it even harder to clean up. Did you really not know you could take it to recycling for free? A giAnt beef to the store that advertises a good deal on an item on a certain day, but when I went to get the item, they didn’t have it in stock. When I asked if I could have a rain check, that request was refused. Sounds like false advertising to me. A beef to the hops plant that my husband decided to plant. It has grown out of control and its leaves and vines grab me rather inappropriately every time I try to tend to the other plants in the garden. A beef to dog owners at the Beban Park off-leash area for older and larger dogs. It is a disgrace with poop all over the play area. A beef about the attitudes of many in the local restaurant industry these days. It seems like most servers think they are doing you a favour by bringing you drinks and dinner. Large groups of people that bring in lots of money for the business are viewed as an inconvenience. A beef to unemployed people who complain about insomnia. Maybe if you did something during the day, you’d be tired at night and would fall asleep like the rest of us.

TIGHE, Joseph Richard (Lew)
Retired RCAF CWO We have lost someone very special. Following 9 years of battling cancer, Lew decided it was time to rest. He passed away on July 12, 2013 at NRGHospital (while doing a crossword puzzle). Lew was born on December 21st, 1932, in Edmundston New Brunswick where he spent his early years as an avid hockey player. As a teen he trained as an Air Cadet and then enlisted in the RCAF as an Electronics technician where he rose to the rank of CWO. He was the recipient of many awards and decorations; a life he loved until retirement. The whole family benefited from being posted coast to coast as well as Europe. Lew also served as a Peace Keeper in Egypt. He met his wife Elena in St. John’s Newfoundland and they recently celebrated 57 years together. They had 2 children; Tony (Anita), grandson Michael (Briana) and granddaughter Breanne. He was predeceased by daughter Colleen who they never stopped missing. Lew was part of a large French Canadian family with 3 sisters (Grace, Theresa, Betty-ann) and 1 brother (Gil) and many nieces and nephews. The large family on his wife’s side were also very important to him, especially June. His last military posting to Nanaimo saw retirement, fun and comradeship in the many activities in which he was involved such as; golf, curling, bridge, Member of Probus, and 257 Legion. He was also an active member of 808 RCAF Wing right up to his passing. The care given by the Nanaimo Cancer Agency (Dr. Dunne), Dr. Voetman, the staff on the fourth floor, especially nurse Laura, was exceptional. We owe Dr. Chan special thanks and he will understand why. Lew was a true gentleman, a wonderful husband and father. He was a great friend to many that crossed his path - always smiling with a positive outlook - right to the end. Thank you to everyone who reached out. A family gathering will be held at a later date.
David Richards Morgan February 13, 1951 – July 18, 2012
The moment that you died my heart was torn in two, on side filled with heartache, the other died with you. I often lie awake at night when the world is fast asleep, and take a walk down memory lane with tears upon my cheeks, I’ll hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain until the joyous day arrives that we will meet again. Love you always Missed so much by Rhonda, Kyla & family & Paul. DEATHS

HAPPY THOUGHTS
To: Ace-in-the-o
Nanaimo/Salt Spring Island... Nanaimo Yacht Club The man I so adore. You didn’t expect this letter to you. I was so frustrated on that site; but after I thoroughly read your profile and viewed your pictures, I realized I pushed away the very man I’ve been waiting for, for so long; someone real, and looking for something meaningful. I was drawn to you. I love all that you do, and have enjoyed doing many of those things. This may sound lame to some; your picture of you smiling warms my heart. I’ve never gotten a stomach full of butterflies thinking of someone I’ve never met. I love that you play the mandolin, as guitar and mandolin are my favorite instruments. I’m a petite, 5’4”, 116 lb, brown eyed brunette. I couldn’t let this go without letting you know how I feel. I would so love to meet you. If you feel the same, please call. (250)710-1956
