City council approves downtown hotel deal
Richard Carlton uses a chainsaw to shape the log taken from a 370-yearold yellow cedar tree he is carving into a protection totem for Tillicum Lelum. Carlton’s art, an 18-month sentence at Gurthrie House Therapeutic Community and support from other people recovering from addiction are helping him lay down a new path for his future.

A new downtown hotel will make its mark on the city’s skyline. Nanaimo city council unanimously approved Monday the sale of its 100 Gordon St. property to SSS Manhao for the construction of a hotel. “I’m very excited and extremely pleased,” said Mayor John Ruttan. “This has been an overnight success – it took only seven years.” The building will be larger and taller than initially proposed, as the project’s architects now want a 240-room, 20-storey hotel. The initial plan was for 197 rooms and 17 storeys. Ruttan views the height increase as positive. “We’ve always wanted as many rooms as we could get,” he said. The revised plan still falls well within the 87-metre height limitation of the zoning bylaw, said Ted Swabey, the city’s general manager of development services. “They’ll lock themselves into the height, the form, the character of the development permit that you end up approving,” he told council. The revised plan includes two restaurants on the top floor, a swimming pool, retail shops, gym and spa. Another newly revealed aspect of the hotel plan is that SSS Manhao will be granted the right to strata subdivision of the building. The hotel won’t have condominiums, but suites will be made available for sale as time-share units. Owners will be limited to two weeks of use per year. “I guess it is, in effect, [a time share] but that’s not unusual,”

Ruttan said. “A lot of developments are done in that manner … An enterprise of this size, $50 million, it does make a lot of sense and pretty well every application we ever had had a similar format.” He said having the time-share component wouldn’t have been his first preference, but said the city would make every effort to ensure that the hotel’s block of rooms will be available as rental suites. “We don’t need a bunch of condominiums downtown,” Ruttan said. “Desirable, but not needed – but a conference centre hotel is.” A city staff report noted that SSS Manhao representatives stated that the company plans to invest $50 million in the hotel project. It expects to attract 70,000 tourists per year, generate $35 million annually in revenues and create more than 500 jobs. Coun. Jim Kipp questioned the expected revenues, but said he nevertheless supports the sale of the property. Coun. Ted Greves said any skepticism among the other councillors might be because they had seen the hotel process drag on for so long. “I’m very encouraged and very excited about this, so hopefully this turns out to be the agreement that we want,” Greves said. The 0.17-hectare property will be sold for $565,000 including a deposit of $100,000 that will be tied to a development covenant. The foundation must be poured within 18 months and the hotel itself must be built within three years. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Discussions between the City of Nanaimo and Snuneymuxw First Nation are back on. After a council-to-council meeting between the city and Snuneymuxw Monday morning, the two groups continue discussions “exploring means to reduce the identified risks associated with the middle and lower Colliery Dams,” according to a City of Nanaimo press release. Snuneymuxw Chief Douglas White III pulled out of talks last week alleging city staff told those participating in the discussions could be held liable should the dams breach. Nanaimo Mayor John Ruttan said city staff were highlighting the increased risk posed by delaying work to remove the century-old dams. “I am pleased to report that the City of Nanaimo is once again engaged in conversation with the Snuneymuxw First Nation to explore risk mitigation options for the lower and middle Colliery Dams,” Ruttan said. “I believe our time together [Monday] morning proved beneficial for everyone in attendance and I’m confident the challenges our two governments encountered with our dialogue last week have been addressed, and that we are moving forward with more talks.” “I appreciate the open and constructive dialogue this morning between our councils, and to carrying on with the 30-day process laid out in the city council resolution of July 8,” White said. “This matter remains complicated and not easy for any of us. But I appreciated the leadership shown by everyone this morning, and look forward to next steps.” Snuneymuxw and the city expect to have further updates this week about how the remaining time in the 30-day process will be focused, the role of the facilitator, and opportunities for public input.

A program that uses puppets to educate children about disability awareness and other important social concerns is looking for volunteer puppeteers. The Mid Island Abilities and Independent Living Society is bringing the Kids on the Block puppet program to Nanaimo with the support of the Rotary Club of Nanaimo Daybreak and the federal government. The educational program, which began in 1977 in the United States, uses large and colourful puppets in short skits that address disability awareness and other social issues. Cathy Robson, the society’s program coordinator, said the purpose of the program is to remove the stigma from talking to real people with disabilities. “Puppets have been around forever and kids relate to them,” she said, adding that students are encouraged to talk to the puppets and ask them questions that they may be too shy to ask a real person

Cathy Robson and Matthew Jacques demonstrate how to manipulate the puppets in the Kids on the Block program. Mid Island Abilities and Independent Living Society is seeking volunteer puppeteers for the educational program.
and the puppeteers stay in character before and after the skits to allow for this. Each puppet has a distinct personality and life story and, like real children, some have mental, physical or emotional disabilities. Others have been affected by aging grandparents, divorce, abuse or death. The society is targeting children in Grades 2-5. “We’re trying to really focus on teaching kids at a younger age that people are people and their disabilities are second,” said Robson. “The differences
between kids shouldn’t be disabilities.” But to get the program out in the community, the society needs volunteer puppeteers. Matthew Jacques, Kids on the Block coordinator, said at each school or event, volunteers participate in two seven-minute skits and a question-and-answer period. The scripts are basic and easy to memorize and puppeteers can have a copy on hand, he said. Because the focus is on the puppet and not the puppeteer, who is dressed in black behind the puppet, the gig is
a good fit for people shy about performing, Jacques added. “The hardest part is holding up your arm for seven minutes,” he said. Jacques said before going out to schools, volunteers would also participate in training workshops and look at some material on their own so that they can answer questions about their puppet. To learn more about becoming a volunteer with the Kids on the Block program, please call 250-756-9455 or e-mail healthycommunity@gmail.com. editor@nanaimobulletin.com
b.C. Ferries approved for new vessels B.C. Ferries received approval to construct three new mediumsized vessels, and the B.C. government is leaving it up to the corporation to decide where they are built. “Certainly we’d be very supportive of the ships being built in British Columbia,” said Transportation Minister Todd Stone. “Government does not have the purview to dictate to B.C. Ferries who can and cannot participate in their procurement process.
That’s internal to B.C. Ferries.” B.C. Ferry Commissioner Gord Macatee announced approval Tuesday to replace two old ferries scheduled for retirement in 2016. The 48-year-old Queen of Burnaby serves the Comox-Powell River run, and the 49-year-old Queen of Nanaimo sails on the Tsawwassen-Gulf Islands circuit. B.C. Ferries announced Tuesday it will invite qualified bids for two replacement ships with capacity
for up to 145 vehicles and 600 passengers. A third with room for 125 vehicles and 600 passengers will be used for peak-season service on the Gulf Islands run and replacement duty when the other two are undergoing maintenance. Brian Carter, president of Seaspan Shipyards, said his company will assess its capacity to take on such a B.C. Ferries contract once it determines the specifics of the request.
Korean vets honoured at ceremony by Chris bush The News BulleTiN
Nanaimo’s Korean War veterans and supporters will honour those who served and died in the conflict with a remembrance ceremony to be held Saturday (July 27) at 11 a.m. Earlier this year the Canadian government passed Bill S-213, which established July 27 – the day hostilities in that conflict ended with the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement – as the National Day of Remembrance in Honour of Veterans of the Korean War. 2013 marks the 60th anniversary of the end of fighting in the war, which began on June 25, 1950, ended July 27, 1953 and claimed the lives of 516 Canadians. Thousands more Canadian troops continued to serve in Korea until 1957. The remembrance ceremony will be held and the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 256 at the corner of Bowen and East Wellington road. “It will be at the little cenotaph at the legion,” said Doug Bamford, vice president of Korean Veterans Association Unit 61. “We’ll have local politicians as guests. We have some veterans showing up – a lot of veterans I hope. We’ll be laying wreaths and there will be a bugler and piper.” Bamford could not say for certain how many Korean War veterans are living in Nanaimo, but said the average age for veterans of the conflict is 83.

Demolition contract for Bay Theatre site awarded ALMANAC The old Bay Theatre’s fate is sealed. Nanaimo city council approved on Monday a tender for demolition of the building at 91 Chapel St. downtown. A building inspector had previously found the site
to be in hazardous condition. Milner Group Ventures, Inc. was awarded the demolition contract with a bid of $231,231. Another local firm submitted a bid that was more than $50,000 lower, but
that proposal was found to be non-compliant because it was missing a bid bond. “I just don’t want to see a company at any time DQ’d on a technicality,” said Coun. Bill Bestwick. Ted Swabey, general manager of development
services, said “it’s never a good situation when the low bid isn’t compliant,” but added that the city’s legal counsel had reviewed the situation and advised that the second-lowest bid be selected. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
Committee decides outcome of petition A group campaigning to de-criminalize marijuana possession has quite the process to go through now that Elections B.C. has given approval in principal for the group to lead a petition drive. 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 marijuana. Starting Sept. 9, Sensible B.C. will have 90 days to collect signatures
from at least 10 per cent of registered voters in each electoral district across the province. If this is done, the draft bill would be forwarded to a Select Standing Committee on Legislative Initiatives, which would then decide whether to forward the draft bill on to the House for debate or recommend that the matter be put to the public as an initiative vote in September 2014. This clarifies information published in July 18 edition of the Nanaimo News Bulletin.

Carving leads to new path in life

FREE HEARING TEST
Richard Carlton focuses on the future and success as an artist By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
C
arving is helping former Nanaimo Correctional Centre inmate find a path through life that has eluded him for more than two decades. Richard Carlton, 47, was released from Guthrie House Therapeutic Community in June, but left something of himself behind for the facilities residents and staff, a yellow cedar totem pole depicting 14 characters that represent the journey through addiction recovery. Guthrie House Therapeutic Community, which operates at Nanaimo Correctional Centre, is a self-contained, 65-bed facility that combines work, treatment, counselling and behavioural modelling to help keep inmates recovering from addiction out of the prison system. It is the only facility of its kind in Canada. “I’ve been in prison, off and on, for over 25 years,” Carlton said. “It’s hard to explain addiction. It’s kind like when you were a kid at home and there are so many doors in the house. You look out those doors and you can go through them and each door is an opportunity, but in addiction you kind of close all those doors behind you and you’re trapped in one room and that’s all you know.” Carlton, who was born in Nova Scotia and grew up in Victoria, spent time in provincial and federal prison for offences that included breaking and entering, drug dealing and armed robbery to support his addiction to heroin and cocaine. When he wasn’t in prison, Carlton worked as a professional tattoo artist, an art form he practised for 30 years. “I got out of the pen about seven years ago and moved to White Rock,” Carlton said. “I thought I could do it there. I was making really good money. I was tattooing, but there’s drugs and if you don’t have that support around you ... I’m not putting down

Carlton took charge of the wood shop and, at the suggestion of one of the guards, asked for a log to be brought in to be carved.

tattooing. I’ve met a lot of wonderful people through that profession, but for me, being that addictive personality? Not good for me.” Over the years Carlton learned to carve, studied with master carvers and eventually became a master carver himself, but he was also going through the revolving door of addiction which would land him back in prison where addiction treatment and methadone programs failed to provide the tools he needed to turn his life around. By the time he was arrested again he was using heavily, even though he was on methadone. “I came back in. I was on 120 mils of methadone,” Carlton said. “I cut it cold turkey. I was 46 at the time. I thought, ‘I can’t do this anymore. I’m going to end up dying.’ It’s amazing I’m not dead now. A lot of my friends have died over the years.” Carlton said Crown prosecutors wanted 36 months, which would have sent him to a federal penitentiary. He would have carved in there – most of his carvings, including a pair of poles carved for a recovery centre at William

Nanaimo News Bulletin Thursday, July 25, 2013
Mail processing moving over to mainland Nanaimo residents posting letters will notice some operational changes in September. Starting Sept. 16, Canada Post is processing all Island mail in Vancouver. During peak periods, this means roughly one piece of mail per seven Island residents – or 100,000 pieces of mail per day – will be processed in Vancouver instead of Victoria, an amount that can be processed in less than three hours using Vancouver equipment. A Canada Post news release states that delivery standards for local-to-local mail will remain at two days; the difference for local residents is that people will
deposit their letters into a single box instead of two. The Victoria facility will remain open and will focus on incoming parcels and direct marketing mail. All current employees will continue to work there. Canadians are sending one billion fewer letters a year than in 2006 and Canada Post, which has been financially self-sufficient since the late 1980s, must find ways to adapt itself to this new reality. The Vancouver facility can handle Island mail volumes easily and Canada Post already has a network of delivery vehicles coming to and from the Island several times a day, so no extra vehicles will be required.

St. paul’S Anglican undergoes roof replacement. By Jenn M c GarriGle The News BulleTiN
St. Paul’s Anglican Church will get a little help from the city with its roof replacement project. City council recently voted to approve a $20,000 heritage facade grant for the project, which includes removal and disposal of the old shingles containing asbestos, waterproofing the end wall, installing a sprinkler system and seismic upgrading. The project is expected to cost about $260,000 and work has already begun at the church on Chapel Street in downtown Nanaimo.

2013 Business Achievement Awards Nominee Information:
The Heritage Facade Improvement Grant program, created by council in 2003, provides financial incentives to encourage rehabilitation and enhancement of heritage buildings in the city’s downtown core. Because the total 2013 budget for the program is $20,000 and a $10,000 grant was approved in March for another project, council voted to commit $10,000 from the Council Contingency Fund to cover the shortfall in the program’s budget. The grant includes a number of conditions: the owner must agree to register a Heritage Conservation Covenant on the property title for a five-year term that prohibits demolition or alteration of the building unless approved by the city; work must be completed within a year of

rEgioNal DiSTricT of Nanaimo directors decide to replace, rather than repair, waste water outfall. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
GOURMET GRILLS
the much-needed conservation efforts promoted by FRSCS and its leader.” Hansen, Rosenthal and VIU president Ralph Nilson, welcomed more than 200 delegates from 35 countries to the conference at the opening reception in Nanaimo on Sunday. The four-day symposium will set the stage for global sturgeon research and conservation efforts. During the conference in Nanaimo, researchers and world sturgeon experts are examining topics critical to sturgeon and providing the most up-to-date reports on the progress of conservation and restoration efforts worldwide. For more information, please visit http://iss7.viu. ca.
A troublesome treated waste water pipe will be replaced following a vote by the Regional District of Nanaimo board of directors Tuesday. The Greater Nanaimo Pollution Control Centre on Hammond Bay Road will have its effluent outfall – a three-metre diameter, epoxy-coated, steel pipe – replaced in its entirety by 2015 at a cost of $18 million. The original pipe, installed in 1973, carries treated effluent from the pollution control centre to its discharge point 2.5 kilometres away and 70 metres below sea level near Five Fingers Island in Georgia Strait. The pipe experienced two major failures in the intertidal zone near Morningside Park in 2011 and 2009. Failures in the pipe are becoming more frequent with five identified in 2012. Those failures have been caused by the breakdown of the pipe’s interior coating and corrosion. Several repair or replacement options were studied, including one proposal to replace the land and marine sections of the pipe separately at an estimated cost of $19 million. Regional district staff determined that replacing the entire pipe all at once is the more practical and less expensive option. The new pipe will be large enough to handle the outfall flows of 160,000 people, about double the population the sewage treatment centre currently serves. Sean Depol, RDN manager of wastewater services, said work will hopefully start in 2014 following approvals from Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the B.C. Ministry of Environment and coordination with other agencies. The old pipe will be left in place while the new one is constructed along a new alignment that will place it closer to Hammond Bay Elementary School. “There is a project there that, as part of the replacement, will recover the heat out of the treated effluent and use it to heat the school as well,” Depol said. “It will be a little bit disruptive, but at the same time there will be side benefits as well.” The project will be financed with $16 million from development cost charges and general reserves, plus a $2-million contribution from the Gas Tax Revenue Transfer Program.

Conservation vital to world’s sturgeon By Marilyn assaf Rick Hansen welcomed the world to Nanaimo for the seventh International Symposium on Sturgeon taking place in Nanaimo this week (July 22-25). He congratulated VIU and the City of Nanaimo for their leadership in bringing the world together to share their knowledge about sturgeon. Hansen is honorary chairman of the conference and founding chairman of the Fraser River Sturgeon Conservation Society. Under his leadership, the society develops and promotes education, public awareness initiatives, awardwinning research programs and recovery plans for the Fraser River white sturgeon population.
“As part of a collaborative team, the FRSCS has spent more than a decade investigating issues that affect the recovery of Fraser River white sturgeon,” said Hansen. “This symposium will make a difference – it represents the next step in attaining world awareness of preserving vibrant, diverse, ecosystems and developing a healthy planet.” Harald Rosenthal, president of the World Sturgeon Conservation Society, said, “Rick’s work in public engagement is one of the few examples we have that vividly demonstrates what public participation can achieve in species conservation. The public worldwide needs to hear about these living dinosaurs which may face a dire future without

EDITORIAL
Enjoy outdoors but stay safe Summer seems to be the season of senseless accidents. A jogger is hit by a train at a busy and well-marked crossing along White Rock’s waterfront. A child falls from a window left open to capture a cooling breeze. A swimmer dives into a shallow pool of water and never resurfaces. These kinds of tragedies seem to happen year after year. And they especially resonate because they often involve people doing activities we’re all pursuing in the halcyon days of summer. Enjoying the outdoors. Being active. Getting away. Staying cool. But just because we’re slowing down to enjoy the season doesn’t mean we can let down our guard. Traffic may be diminished but it’s still dangerous. The water at the swimming hole may be inviting and refreshing but dangers lurk beneath the surface. Beers on the back deck or campsite are just as intoxicating as those consumed in the pub on a Friday night. Of course, more people are out and about, enjoying the sunshine and warm temperatures so the odds are more accidents are likely to occur. But the zeal to get out, to maximize our enjoyment of these months before the winter rains and chill settle in again sometimes lead to lapses in judgment. Seemingly inconsequential acts like leaving a window open, rolling a stop sign, not looking both ways before crossing a street, ignoring a prominently placed warning notice can come with huge consequences – sometimes even fatal ones. British Columbians love the outdoors, partly because there’s so much of it at our doorstep and it’s so beautiful, partly because we spend so much of the year seeking shelter from it when rain and snow fall from the sky. Just remember to be careful out there. The Nanaimo News Bulletin is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Cedar supporters say plan flawed To the Editor,
Re: Opposition mounts to coming closures of Cedar schools, July 18. I attended the June meeting at Cedar Community Secondary where the school board outlined its 10 year plan. I was surprised to see the bus lane blocked off with vehicles parked across it at both ends, and security guards checking everyone that entered the school. Then to my dismay two uniformed members of the RCMP arrived and took up their positions on either side of the room. It is my understanding that School District 68 is opposed to bullying, at least they claim to be, but attending that meeting I witnessed the most extreme bullying I have seen, as the only reason for the security guards and the police was blatant intimidation, which is exactly the same thing as bullying Now, after reading the statement by Jamie Brennan in the July 18 paper saying that the people of Cedar could protest all they wanted but the school board was moving forward with its plan, it is quite obvious that the school board was never looking for other suggestions and are showing complete disregard for taxpaying Cedar residents. Moving Cedar students and putting John Barsby Secondary School over capacity is very irresponsible. It is very expensive to bus that many students (definitely not
environmentally friendly), it would deprive Cedar students from taking part in any after school activities, and most importantly it would damage the community of Cedar. I believe that the only solution for the school district is to close John Barsby school, move those students to Nanaimo District Senior Secondary, which would fill that school, and leave Cedar alone. Isn’t it about time elected people started to honestly represent the people that elected them?
Don Grinnell Ladysmith
Enhancement plan disregards community To the Editor,
The school district’s decision to close all five of the schools located in Cedar and re-open one huge elementary school while completely eliminating Cedar’s high school is extremely disappointing. Where is the analysis showing that their enhancement plan is more feasible than any of the 20-plus suggestions put forward by the community? Where are the financial studies of cost savings for closures versus renovation costs to the high school and costs for busing students on a daily basis to another area of town? As a parent of two children in Cedar, I want to know how this “enhancement plan” is
making things better for my children. I want to know that all the other ideas have been studied and this is the most cost-effective and educationally enhancing plan available. Without those answers, I fail to understand how closing the newest high school in the district, the one with higher-than-average graduation and post-secondary attendance rates and busing our kids an hour out of our community to an older high school is “enhancing” anything for my kids. Please do not disregard our community and our children in your rushed push to balance your budget. Balancing the district’s budget should not come all at the expense of one community in the district; but then the $25,000 new logo is for the NanaimoLadysmith Public Schools so perhaps Cedar doesn’t count.
Ronda Seeley Nanaimo
School restructuring means overcrowding To the Editor,
The School District 68 trustees have forced a bylaw to overcrowd high schools in Nanaimo. Is it fair to our youth to treat education as an industry to save money for new schools? Big schools and a large number in each classroom do not provide a better education for anyone.
Shelagh Gourlay Ladysmith
Manners missing in Nanaimo’s dam debate To the Editor,
I watched recent televised council meetings, the decorum of which included the persistent, disruptive and disrespectful behaviour of many members of the group related to the Colliery Dams issue and I respectfully suggest that the City of Nanaimo take charge and introduce some rules for the order and decorum of meetings, to be observed by delegations and audience members in the city’s council chambers.
I understand that the rules of conduct and debate in the city’s Council Procedure Bylaw 2007 No. 7060 provide for decorum in debate among our elected officials. However, leadership is sorely needed to ensure that council meetings are conducted in a manner that allows the people’s business to be undertaken free from abusive and distracting behaviour, such as shouting out and repeated clapping from the audience. This lack of respect for fellow
citizens is displayed online for all to see. And why is question period no longer restricted to questions only? I appreciate the concerns of the affected citizens regarding the potential loss of the use of the neighbourhood dams for recreational purposes. However, participation in our democratic process comes with some responsibility, does it not?

Drinking and boating accounts for approximately 40 per cent of boating-related fatalities on Canadian waterways. To raise awareness and reduce alcoholrelated deaths, the Canadian Safe Boating Council is launching Operation Dry Water, an initiative to discourage this dangerous practice. With the summer boating season in high gear, the August long weekend is the time to remind Canadian boaters about the risks of drinking and boating. Combined with sun, wind, waves and the rocking motion of the boat, the effects of alcohol on the water can be greatly increased. “The CSBC would like, through this initiative, to raise attention to the problem of boating under the influence and to remind boaters not to drink and boat,” said Jean Murray, chairwoman of the Canadian Safe Boating Council. Operation Dry Water will focus on the potential risks of drinking and boating, and remedies that are currently in place to discourage it. Federal statutes dictate that, whether or not the craft is motorized, operators can be charged with Impaired Operation of a vessel under the Criminal Code of Canada if blood alcohol level exceeds the .08 threshold. This means people can be charged even if they are impaired while operating a canoe and a judge is able to, upon conviction, suspend boating privileges. Operation Dry Water is aimed at reducing the number of alcohol-related accidents and fatalities on the water while fostering a stronger and more visible deterrent to alcohol use while boating.

Rotary helps provide a lifeline
I
DONATION hELpS people afford fees for Lifeline service.
The Rotary Club of Lantzville recently presented the Nanaimo Lifeline Program with a $1,000 donation for the Silent Guardian Fund. “One of the goals of our Rotary Club is to help the needs of individuals whose safety may be at risk,” said Glynn Currie, during his first meeting as president. The Silent Guardian Fund helps those unable
to afford the monthly monitoring fees of Lifeline, thereby allowing individuals the dignity of living at home longer. Nanaimo Lifeline is operated by the Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation, increasing the notfor-profit’s ability to help one of the central Island’s most vulnerable populations. Lifeline serves more than 1,400 clients and is run by a small staff and a team of dedicated volunteers. Lifeline gives peace of mind to families and medically at-risk clients living at home. The touch of a button
alerts the call centre and an appropriate level of help is dispatched. The Rotary Club of Lantzville was able to support the fund due to its fundraising golf tournament in June. The group meets in the north end of Nanaimo at the ABC Restaurant on Thursday mornings. For more information about becoming a Rotarian, please e-mail Currie at rotaryglynn@gmail.com. For more information on the hospital foundation, please visit www. nanaimohospital foundation.com

Nanaimo’s third annual Harvest Festival celebrates all things culinary in a very colourful way in the Old City Quarter on Sept. 14. The heart of the festival is a street full of educational displays and interactive presentations focused on the local food movement and a farmers’ market. The free, one-day event also includes a Fresh Food Fair featuring local chefs and food trucks, a baby animal petting farm for the kids and non-stop bluegrass and roots blues performers on stage.
The Festival’s Farmers’ and Vendors’ Market offers fresh produce, seafood, pork, chicken and beef and valueadded products from local growers and producers. A dozen displays highlight local food sources, Nanaimo’s emerging regional food strategy, recycling, community gardens and kitchens, water resources, and more. Bunnies, lambs, goats, a calf and baby chicks will be there for the petting and cuddling as Tiger Lily Farms returns with their
corral of critters for the little ones to learn a bit about farm life. Organizers are inviting vendors and exhibitors to register
for a booth and help fill Wesley Street with more Harvest Festival themed products and programs. More details will

Habitat for Humanity Mid-Vancouver Island got another funding boost to complete its latest housing project from Nanaimo’s Windsor Plywood store. Windsor Plywood provided the organization with at $10,000 grant. “A big thank you to Windsor Plywood for supporting Habitat build project in the mid-Island and this is the second year they have provided a $10,000 grant towards building homes for hard-working families in our community,” said Teresa Pring, executive director of the Habi-
tat’s mid-Island branch. “Windsor Plywood is giving back in the community they serve and we are grateful for their support again this year.” The money will help construct the new duplex project. The project is expected to be complete by December. It will be built to platinum Built Green standards. People can donate to the organization by going online, www. habitatmvi.org, calling 250-7588078 or stopping by the Nanaimo office, which is located at 1-4128 Mostar Rd.
A local yoga studio set up a karma card box to encourage acts of kindness in the community. Red Door Yoga posted the box outside its Aulds Road location, allowing passersby to pull a card and go into the community and complete the act of kindness written on the card. Be The Change project is based upon Mahatma Gandhi’s words, “Be the change you wish to see in the world,” and is the first of its kind. Gandhi was a practising yogi, and believed in the guiding principle that what we wish to create in our external world, we must first cultivate in our internal world. So to create a peaceful, kind, and compassionate community, people must first be willing to be those things in the community. Red Door Yoga has been actively encouraging everyone from the local community and beyond to be part of the project. Those from too far away to pull a card can participate in the project via Red Door Yoga’s Facebook page (www.facebook. com/RedDoorYoga). There, participants post about their experience of performing the random act of kindness, and those from away can choose to follow suit. “What Mahatma Gandhi said is simple and effective: if you want kindness, become kindness. If you want peace, be peace,” said Red Door Yoga owner Kavita Maharaj. “We’re excited to be launching this project here in LantzvilleNanaimo.” To begin participating in the project, visit the studio at 7282 Aulds Rd. and pull a card from the box. An end date to project has not been determined. For more information, please call 250390-9367 or e-mail kavita@reddooryoga. ca.

Public Notice
FUNDING AVAILABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE NEB REGULATORY PROCESS REGARDING THE TRANS MOUNTAIN EXPANSION PROJECT National Energy
Office national
Board l’énergie The National Energy Board (NEB or Board) will make funds available under its ParticipantdeFunding Program (PFP) to assist directly affected persons to participate in the regulatory process of the proposed Trans Mountain National Energy Office national Expansion project. Board de l’énergie
Trans Mountain ULC intends to seek Board approval to expand the existing Trans Mountain pipeline system from its current capacity of 300,000 bpd (barrels per day), to approximately 890,000 bpd. The application is expected to be filed with the NEB in late 2013. For more information on this project, please visit www.neb-one.gc.ca, where you can sign up for process and PFP updates via e-mail. The NEB will hold public information sessions in fall 2013 in the vicinity of the proposed pipeline to explain the Participant Funding Program and the hearing process. Funds will be made available to help persons who are directly affected or have relevant information or expertise review and comment on a project application to be submitted by the proponent, Trans Mountain. Funding must be used to prepare for and participate in the hearing process, which will be announced by the Board at a later date. To receive funding, all approved recipients will be required to apply to participate and be granted intervenor status in the NEB’s regulatory process for this project. A funding review committee, independent of the regulatory process, will consider all applications for funding and make recommendations on the allocation of funds. Funding applications can be submitted beginning now until 60 days after the Board releases its list of intervenors. The hearing date has not yet been set, as an application has not yet been filed. When the NEB sets a hearing date, that information will be made public. Funding will only be awarded for hearing related activities conducted after your PFP application has been approved. Please review the Participant Funding Program Guide to determine when and how to apply for funding and what funding will cover. Interested persons are encouraged to review information on the proposed project before submitting an application. This information, as well as the Participant Funding Program Guide, the Application for Funding Form and the Contribution Agreement can be found on the Board’s website (www.neb-one.gc.ca) under Public Participation. For more information contact: Heather Dodds Participant Funding Coordinator Tel: 1-800-899-1265 ext. 3130 E-mail: PFP.PAFP@neb.one.gc.ca

Countdown begins for next year’s B.C. Summer Games This fall, a countdown clock will be unveiled as volunteer recruitment picks up speed. Organizers are seek-
ing around 3,200 volunteers with a wide range of skills and talents to ensure a successful Games. There are many
areas to volunteer in, with time commitments ranging from a few hours during the Games to assistance with
planning and preparation over the next 12 months. Many other promotions and events are planned for the
lead up to next July 17-20, 2014 when the city comes alive with athletes and volunteers participating in this bien-
nial provincial celebration of sport. Volunteer registration will be available in the fall at www. bcgames.org.
WEEK: B326 NAME: CLEARANCE INSERT DATE: JULY 25 AD# 40513 SIZE: GRID B FULL PG (11 X 15) MARKETS: BC - LA, AT, NANAIMO, PQN
One year from now, Nanaimo will be hit by a tsunami of athletic energy when the 2014 B.C. Summer Games lands on July 17. Residents are warned not to take cover, but to come out in droves and welcome this wave of visitors with typical Nanaimo hospitality. “Nanaimo is not a community to be overwhelmed, so we’re confident that the 12 months we have left to plan will go smoothly,” said Jeff Lott, games president. The Games require a plethora of goods and services that presents the kind of shopping list a small army would be expected to produce, including: u Up to 3,500 foamies where our province’s best young athletes, coaches and officials will sleep; u 6,875 feet of electric cords; u Nearly 48,000 meals served; u 2,100 medals to be awarded in 290 medal presentation ceremonies; u Up to 8,000 pieces of luggage transferred; u About 47,000 bus transfers; u 525 hours of sport event competition. The stated purpose of the Games is to provide an opportunity for the development of athletes, coaches, and officials in preparation for higher levels of competition like the Canada Games and Olympic or Paralympic Games. There are 19 sports represented in the B.C. Summer Games involving up to 3,900 athletes, coaches and officials from all over the province. The local economic impact has been estimated at about $2.6 million.

Miller back home for concert
Collaborators team up for On the Dock
Sid Johnson and Lena Birtwistle have been collaborating in various forms for over five years now, and the chemistry that exists on stage between these two very different artists is a rare spectacle to behold. After releasing an EP in 2008 under the moniker The Adamantines, both have worked on solo projects, with Johnson releasing his debut full length Dirt Rose Up in 2012, and Birtwistle set to release her first solo EP this fall. Both contributed heavily to each others recordings, but with Johnson relocating from Ladysmith to Montreal, the collaboration slowed down, until July, when he returned for a series of shows on the Island. The resulting dates have been filled with all the elements that go into making a duo stand out, such as solid songwriting, overthe-top guitar playing from Johnson and piano from Birtwistle, and shared vocals that tease and compliment each other. While maintaining a uniqueness all their own, the pair conjure up comparisons to current acts like Whitehorse, The Civil Wars and She and Him. Johnson and Birtwistle perform at the Dinghy Dock Pub Monday (July 29) at 8 p.m., which will likely be their last performance together for some time. The duo shares the stage with Trevor Davies and Casey Westergard. Tickets $20, including round-trip ferry from Nanaimo harbour. Tickets available from the pub, the artists, or online at www.ticketzone.com.

Camille Miller considers Vancouver Island as her musical home. She’s coming back to the city to perform an all-ages show with special guests from The Odds at SimonHolt Sunday (July 28). “I’m really excited to perform,” she said. Miller has been in the studio in Nanaimo working on her new album More than This. She’ll work with musicians and producers from Vancouver Island she befriended while living in the city. The creation of her latest endevour was made possible thanks to a Pledge Music campaign. The campaign also allowed her to raise money for a charity close to her heart, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Vancouver Island. Any money that she raised over her goal was donated to the charity. Her last album, Parallel to The Sea, was released last fall. In that album Miller explored her experiences of motherhood. One of the songs, Tiniest of Hearts, is about her first pregnancy and the uncertainly she felt and excitement about caring for her daughter. Miller was born in Germany but lived in Canada most of her childhood when her family was transferred to different military bases around the country. Doors for her performance on July 28 open at 7:30 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15 in advance from the restaurant or $20 at the door.

Jazz singers team with local players Jazz musicians from Toronto and Victoria join Nanaimo players for three nights of music at the Vault Bistro tonight through Saturday (July 25-27). With Jordan Pettersen on guitar, Neil Baird on contrabass, and Natasha Hoskins on drums, Aline Homzy and Monik Nordine will play a wide range of music including pieces by McCoy Tyner, Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus, Django Reinhardt and their own soulful compositions. Homzy’s new recording with pianist Andrew Kesler, The Dragon Suite, was just released and nominated for the Toronto Independent Music Awards. Her composition for jazz orchestra, Douce Rose, won the Prix Ville de Provins in a competition in France. She played a Mahavishnu Orchestra tribute concert in Toronto, recently toured Mexico with Hilario Durán, a 10-day residence at the Atina Jazz Festival in Italy with the group Djul, and was a featured soloist with the Humber Big Band when it played in Louisville, Ky. Homzy is also busy in the studio layingdown tracks for some of the best new pop, classical and jazz artists in Toronto. Her recent project was a studio gig in Los Angeles, on camera in the orchestra for an episode of Glee. She was backing up Lea Michele on Creep, by Radiohead, and had the opportunity to meet Michele’s costar Cory Monteith, who recently died of

a drug and alcohol overdose in a Vancouver hotel. Nordine’s artistry transcends virtuoso technique and encompasses the full range of musical communication. She leads the Victoria Jazz Orchestra and her own group, Departure, released their first album in November of 2010. Based on some of the jazz fusion experiments of the 1970s, Departure plays mainly original music written by Nordine and Brent Jarvis with an ear to Keith Jarrett and Chick Corea. Recently, Nordine was featured as the jazz saxophone soloist with the Victoria Symphony Orchestra. The Vault Bistro is fully licenced and serves dinner between 5-7 p.m. The music begins at 7:30 p.m. Admission $15; $10/student card. Call 250-667-0207.

The study will gather and assess data on employment, spending and other factors in order to measure the total direct, indirect and induced economic impact of the Nanaimo region’s arts and culture sector. This project also includes the creation of a template or process that will enable the corporation to track the economic impact of the local arts and culture sec-
tor in future years, as well as projectspecific economic benefits of proposed new arts and culture projects, services or facilities. Selected from a list of four proponents, Roslyn Kunin and Associates is a highly credible and accomplished team, according to an NEDC press release. The arts and culture economic impact study contract is valued at $19,740.

JUNIOR FOOTBALL team starts season Saturday in Victoria.
V.I. RAIDERS play the Westshore Rebels on Saturday (July 27) at 7 p.m. at Bear Mountain Stadium in Victoria.
BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
HOME OPENER for Nanaimo will be Aug. 10 when the Langley Rams visit Caledonia Park.
The chase is on. For the first time in a long time, the V.I. Raiders aren’t defending a championship, but just like every year, they’re chasing one. Nanaimo’s Canadian Junior Football League club begins its regular season this Saturday (July 27) in Victoria against the Westshore Rebels. “There’s that anticipation,” said Matthew (Snoop) Blokker, the team’s coach. “You’re obviously hoping to do well but there’s also the unknown.” The Raiders have had two weeks of practice to make roster decisions and try to get ready. But only on game day will they really, truly find out what kind of team they’ve got. “It’s the first time you get a real chance to make plays for your teammates…” Blokker said. “It’s the first opportunity that we have a real chance to look each other eye to eye and man to man and see who’s willing to do this for the right reasons.” Here’s a look at the V.I. Raiders who will take the field for the season opener:

vet, Dustin Rodriguez. Two other returnees, Alex Kutra and Dylan Schrot, move into the top four and Arthur Fabbro and tight end Paul Childs will also get opportunities to make catches. The offensive line is led again this year by Tyler Oldendorf. Veteran centre Terrek Bryant and fellow vet Sawyer Barth return to the unit and two newcomers, Jeremy Williams and Tyler Winchester, won jobs with standout efforts at camp. Daryl Rodgers is offensive coordinator.
OFFENCE
It’s a bit of a new era on offence, but there are some exciting possibilities. This year’s group is expected to have real balance. “I think our pass game will evolve from our run game…” Blokker said. “But saying that, we feel very confident that we can become a very good passing team.” Jahmari Bennett takes over

DEFENCE The D will be directed by Doug Hocking, who returns as defensive coordinator after a year coaching at UBC. “I think we’re going to play really fast and play really physical,” said Blokker of the defence. The defensive line will now get Jordan Kuziek full time after he played mostly offensive line in his rookie season. He’ll line up at D tackle along with fellow returnee Nathan Warawa, and veteran Ash Gayat will play on one end. The other end will see Tristian Koronkiewicz (Jordan Yantz’s brother) and Quinton Bowles share playing time.

Acme T-men get started in playoffs For the Acme Timbermen to advance, they’ll have to unseat the fivetime defending champs. The Nanaimo Timbermen senior B lacrosse team is matched up against the Tri-City Bandits in the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association semifinals starting today (July 25). The T-men are seeded higher than the Bandits this year and get homefloor advantage in the best-out-of-five series, but Tri-City won both games between the two teams during the regular season. “The guys are looking forward to it because it kind of gives us a bit of a chance at redemption,” said Mike Maughan, coach of the Acme Painting Timbermen. “We’re excited to get the opportunity to beat them when it matters.” He said Tri-City plays efficient lacrosse and doesn’t make many mistakes, so he stressed that the Timbermen can’t afford to lose the battle on turnovers and penalties. If they can keep games close in those areas, he said, then Nanaimo’s talent can win out. “It’s definitely going to be some good lacrosse to watch,” Maughan said. “Hopefully we can put on a show and come out on the good side.” GAME ON … Game 1 starts at 7 p.m. tonight at Frank Crane Arena. Game 3 is set for Sunday at 6 p.m. at Frank Crane.

Pirates try for picture-perfect ending BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN
For a few seasons now, the Nanaimo Pirates have had a flair for the dramatic. They have a knack for lateinning heroics, for thriving under pressure. This weekend (July 26-28), they’ll try to show those traits in the biggest games of the summer. The Hub City Paving Pirates begin play Friday at the B.C. Premier Baseball League championships. Only four of the league’s 13 teams are still playing at this stage. For a youthful, No. 7-seeded club to be in the mix is an achievement in itself. “We hoped for it. I’m not sure if we expected it,” said Braeden Mousseau, Pirates catcher. The last two summers
the Pirates were among the playoff favourites, but didn’t win any games at the final tourney. “It takes one team to get hot, it takes one pitcher to have a good game and you can lose,” Mousseau said. “Last year we were by far the best team there and it didn’t happen for us. “Anyone can beat anyone at any day, so we’re just going to have to focus every pitch, every at bat, every game.” Shortstop Brady Rogers said the Pirates are “a scary team” because of their pitching. Pitching is a strength, certainly, but then there’s also that late-inning magic that the Pirates possess. “It’s almost like we have another gear we turn to when the game’s on the line or our season’s on the line,”
Mousseau said. He noted that all those dramatic victories tend to be team wins – a guy will get on base, the next guy will move him over, and another guy will deliver the clutch hit. “In close games we have way more intensity,” Rogers said. “It’s what brings us up and makes us play better.” The challenge at this weekend’s championships will be maintaining that intensity and focus for 21 innings, and hopefully more. The Pirates intend to rise to the occasion. “That’s what you play sports for,” Mousseau said. “You want to be in that final moment in the seventh inning, be up at bat, you want to have the ball, or have the game on the line.”
The Pirates have as much of a chance as any team to reach those final moments of the tournament. The PBL’s top three seeds were all upset in the first round, so in a final four that includes the host Abbotsford Cardinals, the Victoria Eagles, the Pirates and the Vancouver Cannons, the tournament is up for grabs. “Ever y single year I thought we were going to win because our team’s been so good,” said Rogers. “And this team [is] the most unexpected team and we have the best chance of winning it. “We are going to win it. I know we will.” GAME ON … The Pirates start the PBL championships Friday against the Eagles at 4:30 p.m. at Abbotsford’s Delair Park. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
Junior football team strong at all positions u From /B1
One of the leaders of the linebacking corps this year will be 22-year-old Cole Samson, who is from Nanaimo but has been playing at the University of Saskatchewan. Other starters are veteran Dylan Chapdelaine and newcomer Nigel Henry from the University of Guelph. The defensive backfield will be anchored by veteran safety Cole Bishop. Veteran Jaxxen Wylie and newcomer Fabian Ross are the corners. Lining up inside will be vet Ariel Fabbro and Andrew Rowe, a former Raiders linebacker who most recently played at Acadia University. SPECIAL TEAMS The V.I. Raiders’ new kicker to start the season will be newcomer Ryan Jones, and with Samson an accomplished kicker, there is no concern about depth at the position. The Raiders plan to use Dustin Rodriguez as their primary punt returner to start the year and rookies Nathan Mayers and Michael Ritchott will also have chances to run back punts. There are a few different guys who might return kickoffs, including Taylor Flavel, Andrew Deleon, Rodriguez and Ritchott. GAME ON
Adding to the excitement of Week 1 is the opposition on the field. The V.I. Raiders and the Westshore Rebels have never gotten along very well since the Victoria program split into two Island teams back in 2005. The fact that the Raiders have never lost to the Rebels makes every game meaningful, as that perfect record is always on the line. And of course, Week 1 signals the start of the chase. Flavel pointed out that the Raiders ended 2012 with a loss, and they’ve been waiting a long time to move on. “I think we’re going to be ready to play and I think we’re going to come out strong,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of guys that are hungry to get on the field.” sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Soccer changes to try to keep current It’s safe to say that change has been the order of the day on the local youth soccer scene. First was the decision late last year to change the organization’s name from Nanaimo Youth Soccer Club to Harbour City Football Club. Then came a partnership with the Vancouver Whitecaps to form a Whitecaps Island academy. Last February brought a controversial announcement that the organization would drop its partnership with the Oceanside, Mid-Isle and Gabriola clubs. Citing philosophical differences for the decision, technical director Claude Bolton stated that Nanaimo house league players will in future form a selfcontained league. Bringing more change recently, longtime volunteer Liam Roden stepped down as club president, replaced by Ian Johnson. One thing didn’t change, however –

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.

Huge baskets of flowers and gratitude to Kevin, Kelsie and Jamie, from Piper and me, for coming to the rescue of Piper while I was away. Had you not provided your kind and fun home when the arranged plans failed, I would have had to return early from a very important course. Also, Kevin, thank you for all the wonderful things you are doing to improve my home and property. a Huge perfumed bouquet to the person who recently posted a beef to someone who failed to recycle a tin can. My husband read it and thought it was directed at him and since then, he’s been recycling cans! Hallelujah! tHank you Nanaimo Regional Hospital. For 40 days the nurses were attentive and caring even through the difficulties of a ventilator and a tracheostomy. My family and I are grateful for the compassionate care provided by the nursing staff. a special bouquet to the Hub City Lions Club with their safety house number signs. a sporting bouquet to the many coaches and helpers for local youth sports. an apology bouquet to the man I almost ran over while making a left turn on Norwell Drive and Victoria Avenue on Friday at about 3 p.m. I saw him at the last minute and swerved to the right, as I was watching the vehicle on the opposite side of the road to see if they were going to turn right. I did not stop as he stood in the cross
walk and yelled at me but saw him in my rear-view mirror. I am very sorry and should have stopped to apologize to him. I want him to know how sorry I am and that I am glad it did not turn out worse as I could have seriously hurt or even killed him.

Also thanks to the delivery boys who were so prompt. a bouquet of tHanks to Paul at Barrons for great service regarding my broken down fridge and to Jesse for his quick service call so we could get it replaced so quickly.

vehicle wouldn’t start and we’re pleased to say we’ve had a restful sleep since we received our new beds. Kudos to you.
a bouquet of skunk cabbage to some users of the off-leash park at Diver Lake. The offleash part is in the field, not on the road in front of my house. Next time your dog ventures into my yard, try following it and clean up what they leave behind. These parks are a privilege not a right and if enough of the local property owners complain your precious dog will have nowhere to feel the wind in his hair but your car. Just because no one saw it doesn’t mean you are not guilty. a beef to all the cyclists (except small children) who insist on riding their bikes on the sidewalks, expecting pedestrians to get out of the way. Sidewalks are what they say – places for people to walk. Cyclists should be on the road, not the sidewalk. We have often experienced cyclists coming up behind us, with no warning, and then riding past us at high speed. This also happens on the Harbourfront Walkway, where cyclists and skateboarders are not allowed and where there are likely to be families with small children, and older people who can’t get out of the way quickly. Where are the police when you need them?
a really big beef to the driver of the blue Honda Civic, who while driving beside the Nanaimo Golf course flicked his cigarette ash out the window and then threw his cigarette out the window. Seems he didn’t hear about fires started by people like him. an expensive beef to the grocery stores that have stopped selling frozen pastries in lieu of their own in-store baked pastries. Not everyone can afford these high prices. in response to the beef about dog poop left behind at the Beban Park off-leash playground. It is a real mess, but complaining does no good. Every morning between 7:30-8:30 a.m. when I take my dog to play, I take bags and walk the whole area and pick it up. Some mornings up to three bags full. I wish there would be a fine for those that do not clean up after their dogs. I am going to start going at different times, and will be watching and reporting who you are. In the meantime, help keep it clean – if you see it, pick it up. a cHicken-poo on you beef to my rude neighbour who recently put his rooster pen as far away from his unmoved-in house as possible, which is 12 metres from my bedroom wall. I wish I could be as oblivious as he is. a big butt roast to the owners of a private complex care facility that blame hardworking employees for their losses when the CEO and management are incompetent. Shame on you for trying to get richer off the backs of our elders. a big beef weinie to the cellphone providers that charge for sending out bills to help save the planet, yet continue to fill our garbage cans with their junk mail. Where do you think it goes? a beef to B.C. Hydro for forcing me to install a smart meter only to experience our first power outage since we moved here in 2006. The surge fried my television.

GEISLER, Arthur James (Jack) July 1, 1916 - July 15, 2013 It is with true sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved father, Jack Geisler, at the age of 97. Jack was pre-deceased by Amelia, his loving wife of 43 years. He and his first wife, Bev, settled in Nanaimo in 1947 when he started Island Roofing and Insulation with Hugh Currie. In 1957, Jack commenced his career in real estate sales and property development, his love of which was evidenced by the fact that he stopped going to the office only when he was no longer able to drive. Jack was an unintentional inspiration and mentor to his co-workers. He had the unique gift of connecting with people from all walks of life wherever he went. There seemed no place he would go in Nanaimo (and often much further afield) without running into people he knew who greeted him with friendly affection. Jack was proud of his city and its people. He will rest in Nanaimo forever. Jack is survived by his sisters, Dorothy and Vera; daughters, Carolyn (Eric) and Robyn; son, Brad (Naida); granddaughters: Leanne, Lori (Brad), Natasha, Michelle, and Mia; grandsons: Patrick, Alex and Daniel (Becca); greatgrandchildren: Bradley, Hailey, and Emmett; and numerous nieces and nephews. Jack, will remain with us always in our hearts, thoughts and expressions. The family is grateful to the caring staff at Nanaimo Seniors Village for their constant attention to his every need, which allowed Jack to live in as much comfort and dignity as possible in his last years. Also, many thanks to his physician, Dr. Ehman for his special care. If you would like to join Jack’s family for an exchange of the stories and experiences that were a part of his interesting and remarkable life, please come to a celebration of his life on July 30th at the Nanaimo Yacht Club from 3:30 to 6:00 pm. Rather than flowers or cards, please consider a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Sands Funeral Chapel 1 Newcastle Avenue, Nanaimo, BC 250-753-2032

McBride, Roy David June 9, 1926 - July 6, 2013 Roy passed away peacefully at his home in Nanoose Bay. His long healthy life was interrupted prematurely by malignant mesothelioma. He will be sadly missed by his wife Joan, son David (Debbie) and daughter Brenda who spent his last days with him sharing memories, hugs, kisses and lovingly caring for him. He thanked his family for their end of life care and they thanked him for his guidance, support and love for us all. Roy was especially proud of his four grandchildren Lindsay, Keeley, Kyle and Russell. “Papa� always made a special effort to share in their lives. He will also be remembered by his entire extended family and many friends with whom he always kept in touch. Roy was born in Chemainus, BC and grew up at Great Central Lake on Vancouver Island. He spent his early years hunting, fishing, canoeing and pursuing the love of his life, Joan. He attended UBC and lived in North, and then West Vancouver where he made many Life Long friends. Roy was a Professional Engineer (Civil) and had a successful career as employee, then co-owner of Halse Martin Construction. His career accomplishments included the restoration of landmarks such as the Orpheum Theatre and CPR station. Some of Roy’s other special projects were the Expo Roundhouse and the whale pool at the Vancouver Aquarium. He served as chairman of the BC Construction Association and was on the Executive Committee of the Canadian Construction Association. He was past president and a life member of the Vancouver Regional Construction Association. He also served on many local volunteer boards including the Qualicum Beach Civic Centre and the Parksville Lawn Bowling Club. His 25 year retirement was spent in continuous adventure - travelling, fishing, swimming, gardening and boating. At the young age of 82, Roy and his good friend Mike circumnavigated Vancouver Island. But his favorite pastime was being with his wife of 63 years, spending time together. We will always remember Roy saying “I’ve had a good life� and we know it was filled with love, respect and happiness. An informal celebration of his life will be held on July 27th from 1-4 at Fairwinds Golf Club, 3730 Fairwinds Nanoose Bay. In lieu of flowers you may contribute to the R&J McBride Family Charitable Fund c/o Parksville-Qualicum Community Foundation #101-691 Beach Rd Qualicum Beach BC V9K 0A7 For online condolences visit www.yatesfuneral.ca
