deal would open up development possibilities on south waterfront. By Tamara Cunningham ThE NEwS BULLETiN

Seaspan Ferries is in talks with the City of Nanaimo about releasing a key part of the south industrial waterfront as it considers moving operations to Duke Point. Nanaimo officials and Seaspan Ferries have been in confidential negotiations about the potential transfer of right-of-way claims on the Wellcox railway land. Bill Corsan, the city’s manager of real estate, said the discussion alone is a huge step forward and if successful, it could open up greater possibilities for redevelopment along the water’s edge. The City of Nanaimo bought 10.8 hectares of the south industrial waterfront for $3.4 million in March. Local officials and residents envision a changed waterfront, with parks, shops and a transportation hub. But officials have also known significant challenges stand in the way of immediate development. Seaspan alone ties up six hectares of land and water with a statutory right-of-way, preventing the city from making use of the area so long as the company holds the claim. The Island Corridor Foun-

dation holds a hectare. Corsan said the city planned to hold the land in trust for future development and help create a vision for the area that could be rolled out once “serious encumbrances” like land claims were dealt with. Negotiations for right-of-ways weren’t expected for another four decades. But Seaspan Ferries recently approached the city about the potential to work toward making the Wellcox property free and clear as it looks to consolidate its downtown terminal with Duke Point. “It’s huge,” Corsan said. “[When the city purchased the Wellcox Railway land] we were told not to expect Seaspan to be leaving anytime soon, so it’s quite fortuitous we are having this discussion in the first year of ownership.” Seaspan Ferries has owned the right-of-way to water and land at the south industrial waterfront for close to 20 years and only started to reconsider when it purchased Van Isle Barge Services in Duke Point two years ago. Seaspan Ferries vice-president Steve Roth said it no longer makes sense for the company to operate two terminals in such close proximity to one another. Seaspan has made a bid to barge garbage at its Duke Point site for a potential waste-to-energy incinerator, but Roth said the two projects are not “tied at the hip.” u See ‘ISLAND’ /4

Mounties attribute rash of bike thefts to one suspect Nanaimo Mounties say one suspect might be responsible for bike thefts across the city, tallying tens of thousands of dollars. The most recent

reported thefts happened Tuesday at about 2:30 p.m. when the owners, who had been shopping in Save-OnFoods at Woodgrove Centre, came out of

police briefs the store in time to witness a man take a bike out of their truck and ride off on it.

Shortly before 6 p.m. Saturday in the Sears parking lot at Nanaimo North Town Centre, a witness spotted a man trying to use bolt cutters to snip

a lock off a bike secured to a rail. The witness scared off the suspect, who fled in a white vehicle that was waiting for him. Investigators

believe this same suspect may be responsible for numerous other bike thefts, including many high-end bikes from backyards, under decks TELUS STORE OR AUTHORIZED DEALER

Mounties carrying out a search warrant at a Nanaimo residence turned up drugs, cash and a suspect Tuesday. Police, suspecting there were drugs being kept at a home on the 300 block of Holly Avenue, moved in with a warrant shortly before 5:30 p.m. The search revealed a quantity of cash, crystal methamphetamine, crack cocaine, marijuana and heroin. Investigators also arrested a 30-yearold man for possession for purpose of trafficking a controlled substance. The suspect has been released from custody and the investigation is continuing.

Pot activist signing up volunteers By Karl yu The News BulleTiN

With canvassing set to start for a marijuana decriminalization referendum, the man spearheading the effort was in Nanaimo soliciting volunteers Thursday. Beginning Sept. 9, the campaign will have 90 days to gather about 400,000 signatures and Dana Larsen, director of the Sensible B.C. campaign for a marijuana referendum, said it is more than just getting people to sign a petition. “We’re going to need a couple thousand canvassers all around the province to make this succeed,” Larsen said. “It’s a very complicated enterprise. We need to collect signatures from 10 per cent of the registered voters in every one of B.C.’s 85 electoral districts. There’s a different form for each district – they have to sign the right form. “There’s a lot of places to make mistakes and have confusion but we have some really devoted volunteers.” Larsen said the message the campaign is trying to get across is that marijuana should not be a criminal offence and marijuana possession should be a low priority for police. “We really want to work towards a legally, regulated system starting right here in British Columbia and we can do that as a province,” Larsen said, adding that the aim is to have all the signatures collected by end of November with everything brought to Elections B.C. by the deadline.

New bike lanes in north Nanaimo are just the beginning of the city’s push to make alternative transportation more attractive to commuters, officials say. The City of Nanaimo recently wrapped up an improvement project on Dover Road where work crews painted new bike lanes and widened sidewalks. According to city officials the changes are part of a new attitude toward road work that will see crews search for opportunities to improve networks

New riding stretches from Lantzville to south of Ladysmith By Karl yu The News BulleTiN

more resources to creating places for pedestrians and the Harbour City is no different. So many streets in the city continue to lack sidewalks and “a lot of the roads are damn scary,” he said. He’d like to see the city invest more money in Nanaimo’s cycling network, as well as investigate how much the city saves because of its investment in green transportation. The city’s new $700,000 transportation master plan is expected to be released this fall and will also help decide future investment for pedestrian and cycling infrastructure.

The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission finished work on redistribution of Canada’s electoral districts and the final report has been submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer. Under the changes, the current NanaimoAlberni and Nanaimo-Cowichan ridings would disappear, replaced by a new Nanaimo-Ladysmith riding, which would be in place for the next election expected to take place in 2015. Nanaimo-Ladysmith will include areas such as the Town of Ladysmith, City of Nanaimo and District Municipality of Lantzville. Nanaimo-Cowichan NDP MP Jean Crowder will see her riding divided in two, with half going to Nanaimo-Ladysmith and the other to another new riding, Cowichan-Malahat-Langford. Crowder said she will have to determine which riding she will seek the NDP nomination. “We did make some presentations to the riding boundary commission, particularly in the initial proposal,” Crowder said. “What they had done is put Lake Cowichan in the NanaimoLadysmith area and they clearly heard us and changed that so Lake Cowichan is now with the Cowichan-Malahat Langford area,” adding that there were other minor changes suggested and the commission was largely accommodating. “The riding boundary commission has a tough job to do because they’re trying to balance the numbers and the communities of interest. There’s going to be some challenges with the new ridings but the good thing about the Nanaimo area is the City of Nanaimo is intact. I think sometimes in Nanaimo it can be a bit of a challenge because you’ve got two members of parliament who represent the City of Nanaimo and I think this will be an improvement for Nanaimo.” Nanaimo-Alberni Conservative MP James Lunney was out of the country and unavailable for comment but the office for the federal Conservative said he will take a careful examination of the situation once he returns. “James will review the final decision of the boundary commission when he returns and has time to digest it, consider the implications and consult with Conservative executive and supporters,” said a spokesman in an e-mail. According to Elections Canada, the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission was created in February of 2012 to set boundaries so that each electoral district would contain roughly the same number of people while also taking into account communities of interest or identity, historical patterns and geographical size in sparsely populated regions.

Dana Larsen, director for Sensible B.C., was in Nanaimo last Thursday to seek canvassers for a referendum that seeks to decriminalize marijuana.

If the required amount of signatures is collected, Larsen said the Sensible B.C. group’s legislation, the Sensible Policing Act, would go to the provincial government. “They have a bit of time to decide whether they want to introduce it into the legislature themselves or whether they want to have a referendum, which is what we’re really expecting them to do, to have a public vote on this,” he said, adding the non-binding referendum would take place in September 2014. Larsen said more than 20 volunteers

were signed up from the Nanaimo area and while people from across the province have expressed support for the campaign, the pro-campaign contingent on the Island is notable. “I haven’t done polling specifically to the regions but in terms of the number of volunteers and signups, we do have a pretty strong team out here on Vancouver Island. People are working hard, so I’d say it’s one of our stronger regions,” Larsen said. People can go to sensiblebc.ca for more information. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Bike lanes help make cycling more attractive By Tamara Cunningham

for cyclists, pedestrians and transit users. Making improvements during regularly scheduled work is a more efficient use of resources and will help make roads safer for people choosing not to travel by car. “We are trying to make (transit and cycling) more attractive options so we can shift ourselves to a more sustainable mix of transportation,” said Gordon Foy, the city’s transportation planning engineer. “As we move forward with capital projects ... we’ll be putting more focus on making sure we are accommodating cyclists

and other pedestrian road users more explicitly than we have in the past.” The City of Nanaimo started working on Dover Road this summer as part of an effort to improve the area’s network of sidewalks, which were only on one side of the street. The project expanded to include cycling lanes to make the area – an assigned bike route – safer. Wider sidewalks were created so people in scooters and wheelchairs could exit buses easier. Nanaimo city councillor Bill McKay, a member of the Transportation Advisory Committee, says cities are starting to dedicate

tions to Island rail. Corsan said he’s hopeful the city can take the first step toward taking control of the south industrial park by working with Seaspan. If the land is released, it could allow the vision for the waterfront to move forward and the city could have greater authority over development along the water. There will also be more options on where to put the Regional District of Nanaimo’s new transportation hub, which has been planned for the area. The city would have to offer compensation for the land rights. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Conference highlights Nanaimo’s port By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN

More than 150 delegates, plus support staff and industry exhibitors from across Canada, gathered in Nanaimo last week for the Association of Canadian Port Authorities’ 55th annual general meeting. The theme of the conference was “building partnerships” between port authorities, the communities in which they operate, the marine and cruise industries, and government agencies in Canada and the U.S. The business session of the event – held at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre Aug. 19-21, and included a trade show – opened with a speech by Lisa Raitt, federal transport minister, who outlined planned improvements in port security and surveillance that will be implemented to help create a world-class tanker safety system on the B.C. coast. Measures mentioned include increased sur veillance flights through the National Aerial Suveillance program, establishment of an Incident Command System by the Canadian Coast Guard to deal more efficiently with incidents, and to conduct scientific

research on non-conventional petroleum products, such as diluted bitumen, to get a better understanding of how they will behave if spilled in marine environments. Raitt also announced the government provided a $2-million contribution to AXYS Technologies, through Industr y Canada’s Strategic Aerospace Defence Initiative to develop applications that collect, analyze and display sensitive maritime data to enhance port and harbour security. “Users of the applications will be able to monitor potential criminal threats in real time and benefit from the company’s proven record of successful research and development in marine environment monitoring,” Raitt said. Most of what was discussed will likely not have much, if any, direct impact on Nanaimo in the near future, but Bernie Dumas, Nanaimo Port Authority president and CEO, said the importance of the conference was that it showcased Nanaimo and its port to key people in government and private industry from across Canada. “It gave us an opportunity to show them what we have, as a port facility, the

importance of our infrastructure to Vancouver Island. I think the major commercial gateway to Vancouver Island is through Nanaimo,” Dumas said. Dumas said the most successful cities in Canada are port cities. Ports are vital to the economic health of cities they operate in and the conference also showcased recent and ongoing projects and programs to improve Por t of Nanaimo infrastructure, such as the cruise ship ter-

minal and the short sea shipping project announced in July. “It’s very important to get the confidence of government to spend some more money here,” Dumas said. “That’s goes even beyond the port’s role in the sense that we need infrastructure here. We need new roads and highways and bridges. “That’s all part of the port system actually provides reasons to get these upgrades done.” photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Region expresses opposition to any waste incinerator plan By TaMara CuNNINghaM The News BulleTiN

waste from districts beyond Metro Vancouver. RDN chairman Joe Stanhope said conversations with the proponents has him no more convinced the benefits outweigh the potential drawbacks, including air pollution. “I know how valuable our quality of life is here and our air and water and all the other resources,” he said. “It’s one of the biggest attractions and why people come here and I’m not going to jeopardize that for a few extra jobs.” RDN directors Diane Brennan and Howard Houle did not meet with representatives of Wheelabrator and Urbaser, but say they also stand by their decision to oppose Metro Vancouver’s incinerator at Duke Point. Houle said Gabriola islanders already smell the composting plant across the channel and he’s concerned there would be more stink with the incinerator. He also has concerns about toxic ash. “I think Metro Vancouver should

“

I think Metro Vancouver should burn their garbage in Metro Vancouver, not over here.

According to the trio, Nanaimo is an ideal spot for a waste-to-energy incinerator with it being just across the channel from the Lower Mainland. Duke Point is already part of an existing transportation route and a facility could help anchor a new eco-park in the industrial area. As part of the proposal, Seaspan would lease up to 15 acres to developers for the facility and it would use its marine transport system to

Despite rising fares and looming service cuts, top executives at B.C. Ferries still collected big performance bonuses this year. President and CEO Michael Corrigan got a $64,421 “incentive payment” on top of a base salary that was up eight per cent to $364,000 for a total of $563,000 in overall remuneration – the maximum allowed after a cap on payouts was put in place last year. B.C. Ferries’ executive compensation disclosure says Corrigan’s bonus reflects his “exemplary leadership” that was borne out by the corporation beating its financial target for the 2012-13 fiscal year. Chief financial officer Robert Clark got more than $133,000 in incentive pay and executive vice-president Glen Schwartz got an extra $127,000 based on performance. Both of their bonuses were almost twice as high as a year earlier and the two collected close to $500,000 overall. None of the payouts are anywhere near as high as the more than $1 million that former CEO David Hahn received in some past years until he left the corporation and the government eliminated additional long-term bonuses and imposed the compensation cap. Managers were eligible for their full incentive pay this year because of the $15-million surplus B.C. Ferries posted for last year. In the previous two years, they got only half as much incentive pay because the corporation missed its financial targets. But NDP critic Nicholas

barge 36 closed containers of waste from the mainland every two days. While proponents were reluctant to divulge too many details about the project because of an ongoing procurement process, they said the facility would convert nonrecyclable refuse into energy and the excess heat and steam produced would be made available to nearby businesses. No garbage would be left out in the open at the facility and emissions controls, like air locks, would eliminate smells from the facility. Bottom ash produced during the wasteto-energy process would be captured and recycled while fly ash would go to the landfill. Three hundred jobs are expected to be generated during the two to three years of construction and 70 permanent jobs after it opens. The proponents wouldn’t say how large they expect the facility to be, but said it could eventually take on more garbage from other B.C communities. Metro Vancouver intends to pick a site for the new incinerator by 2015 and is considering in- and out-of-region options.

Simons said the new surplus is a fiction because of the $21.5 million in additional subsidies the province injected. “The only reason they got their full bonuses was because the government provided that increased service fee,” Simons said. Transportation Minister Todd Stone wasn’t available for an interview but issued a statement saying the executive payouts send the “wrong message” at a time when B.C. Ferries is struggling to reduce its expenses. He said he will speak to the B.C. Ferries board to outline the province’s expectations for all executives at Crown corporations. “While B.C. Ferries isn’t a Crown corporation, they do receive provincial government funding and we would expect them to follow suit,” Stone said. “Government is tightening its belt, along with many British Columbians, and I believe that B.C. Ferries should take the same approach.” Simons, however, said the B.C. Liberals have had plenty of time to act. “Four ministers in a row have been saying how disappointed or disturbed or shocked they are when they see this exorbitant compensation,” Simons said. “The reality is they’ve done nothing about it.” The Powell-River Sunshine Coast MLA said his constituents are apoplectic because they’re ferry-dependent and have seen fares rise on average 75 per cent over the last 10 years. B.C. Ferries has reduced its executive by almost half and cut their overall salaries by more than 50 per cent, Stone noted. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

The chairman of the Regional District of Nanaimo continues to oppose a waste-to-energy incinerator at Duke Point, despite proponents’ pleas to give the idea a chance. Representatives from Wheelabrator Technologies and Urbaser met with local government officials last week to sell the idea of a waste-to-energy garbage incinerator in Nanaimo. The companies are among 10 bidders that have been asked by Metro Vancouver to propose sites for a new waste-to-energy facility, which would burn 370,000 tonnes of garbage each year. The proponents – Mark Swartz of Wheelabrator and Urbaser’s David Garcia De Herreros – said they are concerned the Harbour City is closing its doors to a potential waste incinerator before the concept has been given a fair review. Residents have been voicing opposition to the incinerator since Metro Vancouver announced it was searching for potential out-ofregion sites earlier this year. The RDN has formally opposed Metro Vancouver’s waste incinerator in the Nanaimo region and city officials are currently investigating the possibilities and consequences of preventing the facility at Duke Point. Proponents claim misinformation has influenced attitudes about the waste-toenergy facilitator. They say it could be a positive for the city, generating hundreds of jobs and heat and steam for nearby businesses. It could also eventually be a B.C. solution to garbage, accepting

burn their garbage in Metro Vancouver, not over here,” he said, adding that he’ll not open his mind to the concept. Swartz and de Herreros toured the Nanaimo region with Seaspan representative, John Lucas, handing out pamphlets and studies as part of an early business case for the $500-million facility.

Shellfish rules need enforcing

A day at the beach this summer doesn’t just mean sun and sandcastles. Some mid-Island residents believe – and there’s no reason to doubt them – people are illegally harvesting shellfish, especially the huge and elusive geoduck. The federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans suggests people call their toll-free line when they suspect illegal activity (1-800-465-4336). We understand there are cutbacks and finding a conservation officer – either provincial or federal – is no easy task. These few officers now have large regions to patrol and many duties. Often, when a business or government agency can’t afford real people any longer, they ramp up their websites in an effort to partially fill the gap. The DFO website has a lot of information but it’s very difficult to navigate – and that’s if you’re web savvy. Unfortunately, the people who take what they want, in the amounts they want, with no regard for the species or sanitary closures or red tide warnings, don’t likely read rants like this or pay attention to websites or warnings. We hope their stories don’t end with sick or dead family members or friends, but that’s not out of the question. Nor is the endangerment of certain shellfish species out of the question if this illegal harvesting continues. Relying on residents to tattle is no way to handle conservation. The DFO needs to do a better job, for the sake of residents (aka the taxpayers who fund the department) and the species it is charged to protect. That means up-to-date signage at every beach access, an easier-to-navigate website and more on-the-ground staff (summer students from marine biology courses?) during the busy summer months. If officials bury their heads in the sand beside the geoducks on this issue, it may spell the end of a fun, educational and tasty part of a day at the beach.

As it relates to climate change, Governments have spent geoengineering falls into two billions on carbon capture and categories: solar radiation storage – trapping CO2 released management and carbon dioxide by burning fossil fuels and removal.

One major drawback with geoengineering is the mistaken idea that it can be a substitute for reducing greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change. That many geoengineering projects are fraught with danger and would not resolve the problem quickly enough or even effectively – and would do little or nothing to resolve other fossil fuel problems such as pollution – makes this a critical concern. There’s also the matter of who would decide what methods to apply and when and where. The issue of “rogue” geoengineering has also cropped up in my part of the world, when an American businessman working with the Haida village of Old Massett dumped 100 tonnes of iron sulphate into the ocean in 2012 for a salmon restoration and carbon-reduction project. Scientists at the Berlin Social Science Research Centre suggest creating “a new international climate engineering agency … to coordinate countries’ efforts and manage research funding.” Because some geoengineering is likely unavoidable, that’s a good idea. We really need governments, scientists and industry to start taking climate change and greenhouse gas emissions seriously. We can’t just engineer our way out of the problem.

To the Editor,

While the saga of Colliery Dam Park continues, we have another crucial issue on the agenda and that is the school facilities plan and its potential impact on Cedar. The school board appears to be following the same path as our city administrators. Make a plan, don’t include those who will be affected, and even if everyone disagrees with it, keep to it at all costs. The board says that moving all of the students from Cedar secondary to Barsby is really for their own good as they will have access to a better curriculum. A terrible decision is not like fine wine which gets better with age – it gets increasingly bitter and leads to anger and disillusionment. Just as the planned destruction of Colliery Dam Park would have been a horrendous blow to Harewood, the school facilities plan could ultimately have the same impact. Youth transported to Barsby will always be considered outsiders and will never feel that this is their place. Younger children warehoused into one mega school will also not benefit from the same character and atmosphere of a smaller, less intimidating facility. Parks, schools, and most importantly people, form the backbone of any community. Ignoring their expressed wishes and needs runs contrary to the purpose of any governing body.

Treaties protect corporate rights

Nanaimo News Bulletin 9

www.nanaimobulletin.com

To the Editor,

That water that cost you more than a dollar a bottle cost the company that pumped it in B.C. nothing. Despite supposed longstanding intentions, the B.C. Ministry of the Environment has failed to update the 1909 Water Act to provide controls and costs to companies such as Nestle, Whistler Water and Mountain Springs for the B.C. water they sell back to us for 100 per cent profit. Why would this situation continue? Why the reluctance to charge for a valuable resource? Does it have anything to do with trade treaties? Currently Eli Lilly, the multinational drug company is suing Canada under NAFTA for $500 million for the profits it says it will lose because Canada refused to renew two drug patents for drugs Canada deemed ineffective. U.S.-based Lone Pine Resources is suing Quebec for $250 million under NAFTA for “evocation of its right to mine for oil and gas” since Quebec imposed its moratorium on shale gas fracking in 2011 while it determined if there were dangers to the water supply.

News BulletiN file

Water Act needs to be updated to reflect increasing use of municipal water by private corporations, says letter writer.

Windstream Energy is suing the Ontario Government for $475 million for enacting a moratorium on offshore wind developments. Canada has already paid $15 million to a Brazilian quarry builder as compensation for withdrawing permission to build a quarry in rural Ontario. If the B.C. government starts to charge for water will we have another lawsuit on our hands for lost profits and how much will it cost taxpayers this time? Even if we eventually win, the heavy cost of litigation borne by taxpayers has a

chilling effect on legislation meant to protect the public interest. It’s time we stopped calling these “free trade treaties” when they are really treaties that protect corporate rights at the expense of tax payers. The Harper government is currently negotiating even more restrictive treaties. Corporate interests have become too powerful. It’s time our politicians remembered that they represent all the public not just one powerful sector.

Security frivolous waste of money To the Editor,

Re: Security added during recent city meetings, Aug. 20. Get ready, Nanaimo – even with a shake-up at the top bureaucratic echelons of City Hall the spin-doctoring is off to a fast and furious continuation. The city’s new acting general manager said security is standing on guard at council meetings not for our elected officials and top staff but “for the public and to protect the public’s interest.” The conference centre’s general manager even stretched the BS level, equating council meetings here to the explosive Stanley Cup riot in Vancouver. Give me a break, dear high salary earners. You’re spewing nonsense, and giving more fine exam-

• LOWEST PRICES • QUALITY FRAMES • OUTSTANDING WARRANTY

ples of how our tax dollars are being frivolously wasted. The mayor and outgoing city manager even told council they knew nothing about security, but a day later e-mailed a citizen to admit the conference centre did. If the conference centre did, wouldn’t the two highest-ranking city officials know what was going on in their council chambers since they are the two top officials watching where they spend all our tax dollars?

Councillors should learn economics To the Editor, Re: City spends freely, Let-

ters, Aug. 6. While I 100 per cent agree with Terrance Wagstaff’s letter, the real Economics 101 lesson should be taught to Mayor John Ruttan and to the Nanaimo councillors, especially during these very hard economic times. As they continue to spend the taxpayers’ money on things that we cannot afford and overall do not need, we are all going to take the last ride in the canoe down the river of no return. In all, the writing is on the wall, so unless Mayor Ruttan and the councillors are blind as bats, they had better read it, learn it and do the right thing for once.

For those who aren’t fitness fanatics, getting back in shape is a goal to strive for. Though rates of overweight and obesity are high, society has also grown increasingly health-conscious in the last 10-20 years, as the growing number of gyms and other fitness centers can attest. Still, for those hoping to shed a few extra pounds, the first step toward doing so can be the hardest. Many instantly think of the oft-intimidating nature of the local gym, where muscular fitness enthusiasts dominate the landscape. However, getting fit does not have to include weight training.

FALL 2012

Yoga moms pushing soccer moms to the sidelines Many women are trading in their team jerseys for yoga mats. The busy soccer mom has transformed into the calm and ethereal yoga mom who is more interested in a stressfree life than racing around to sports practices.

For a long time the stereotypical image of a mom was a minivan-driving, white, 40-something picking up Timmy from sports practice and Jenny from cheerleading. Her fast-paced lifestyle had her racing between kids’ engagements to

home to other social obligations in a harried, time-pressed manner. But today you’re more likely to see mom practicing her asanas instead of toting clipboards and team snacks. She’s scooting around in her Toyota

Prius instead of the Dodge Caravan and is more about living in the moment than overprogramming children with music lessons and enrichment classes. Today’s moms are more free-spirited and learn-as-you-go types. Todays moms are more

community-based and interested in being everyone’s friends. That’s why you’re more likely to find Yoga Moms blogging, heading grassroots campaigns and seeking new friends on social networking sites. Yoga moms are more about

spreading the word on ways to improve the community and planet. They are certainly educated, successful women. They’re simply putting their needs on par with the needs of their family and feeling better about themselves in the process.

Encourage kids to be physically active When today’s parents reflect on their childhood, many likely recall seemingly endless days spent playing outdoors. But when today’s kids become tomorrow’s parents, chances are their recollections won’t recall nearly as much time spent idling the days away under the sun. The rise in overweight or obese children is likely a byproduct of several factors, not the least of which is that many of today’s kids prefer to play a video game on the couch instead of going outdoors and being physically active. Parents know it’s not always easy to get kids to be more physically active. But the following are a few tips parents might find useful when

encouraging their kids to embrace a more active lifestyle. * Give toys that encourage physical activity. * Reduce time spent in front of the television. * Remember that physical activity should be fun.

* Set a positive example. Whatever physical activity you choose, you can bet your children will express an interest in it as well, and that’s a great way to make them more enthusiastic about having a healthy and active lifestyle.

FALL 2013

School bus safety for kindergarteners A kindergartener’s first day of school is a day to cherish. There are so many firsts to experience, from wearing a backpack for the first time to making new friends to riding on a school bus. All of these firsts can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time. For many youngsters, school marks the first time they are away from their parents for an extended period of time. As a result, safety concerns -- especially concerning transportation to and from school -- is foremost on the minds of many parents. School bus safety is something that should be presented to children in terms they can understand. Riding on a school bus is often a fun experience for kids, but the prospect of leaving Mom or Dad behind at the curb can spark mixed feelings. It is best to prepare students for the school bus a few weeks prior to the first day of school to gauge their reactions and plan accordingly. Many school districts and

transportation companies, like the North Penn School District Transportation Department in Pennsylvania, host annual events that help introduce kindergartenersto-be to the school bus. Children are encouraged to enter the bus and learn about all of the equipment. The students also may be given a short ride around town, and safety information is typically included. If the school district where you are living does not host a special orientation day for children entering kindergarten, see if you can arrange to have a bus tour by contacting a bus company in the area. Although safety tips may be covered at orientation, it is a good idea to reinforce lessons at home in preparation for the first day of school. Here are some important topics to go over. * Walk to the bus using a sidewalk if there is one. If no sidewalk is present, walk on the opposite side of the street facing oncoming traffic. * Wait for the bus at the

designated stop. Don’t wander away. * Do not go into the street while waiting for the bus to arrive. * Do not roughhouse or run around with friends while waiting for the bus to arrive. * Wait for the bus a safe distance away from the street until the bus stops and opens the door. * Walk one-by-one onto the bus. Do not push or crowd the doorway. * Once on the bus, quickly find a seat and sit down. * If there is a seatbelt, fasten it. (Children should be familiar with how to latch a seatbelt.) * Do not put your head, arms or anything else out of the bus window. * Keep the bus aisle clear of backpacks or other items. * Keep voices down so not to distract the driver. * Listen to the driver. * Do not throw things on the bus. * Unbuckle your seatbelt only when the bus has stopped at the school (or your stop at home)

MUSIC

FALL 2013

Music can help kids with school skills Music’s efficacy as a teaching tool has long been studied. Though some still doubt if music has any effect on student performance, a strong body of evidence suggests otherwise. Studies into the effects of music on learning are nothing new. Such studies have been conducted for decades, gaining pop-

ularity during the 1950s when research was done on something called the “Mozart Effect.” The Mozart Effect theorizes that listening to Mozart can temporarily improve performance and may even boost a person’s IQ. Ongoing research continues to support the theory that music education can help children on

many levels. In Canada, a research group from McMaster University conducted their own study into music education. That study, which was published in the journal Brain in 2006, examined two groups of children, ages 4 to 6. Each were taught the same lessons, but one group was also given musical instruc-

tion. The study found that the group of children who received musical instruction scored much better than their peers in literacy, mathematics, IQ, and memory skills. Music education is not just for the average student. Other research shows it may be beneficial to children with dyslexia and other learning disabilities. A study completed at Stanford University showed that mastering a musical instrument improves the ability to process parts of the spoken language. The researchers believe that additional research might develop a way to use the knowledge obtained in the study to increase language development for individuals with dyslexia or cognitive disorders. In many schools, music education is being drastically reduced or eliminated. Parents may want to look outside the classroom for music instruction or play more music at home.

CHRIS BUSH/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Lorne Hildebrand, executive director of Edgewood in Nanaimo, describes the addiction treatment facility’s next expansion, which includes replacing two old houses, currently used as part of the women’s extended care living quarters, with a new women’s dormitory wing that will be connected to the centre’s main building.

According to Hildebrand, the new building would add two beds to the women’s extended care centre, but make it more modern, clean and easy to supervise. It would also give the centre’s administration room to grow.

Now Open

With Edgewood now reaching into other markets like Calgary and Seattle, it could need more space for staff at its head office, he said. “Over the next five to 10 years there is no question there will be growth for Edgewood in

other parts of Canada and the U.S., but certainly growth here in Nanaimo because we essentially have all the things that supports a [growing] organization here,” he said. This would be the fourth expansion at

movement from bus to train, ferry or airplane, greatly reducing costs, one that improves both our sense of community and actual health outcomes. Cities that feature more natural green corridors located near residential and work places are increasingly attracting younger professionals, too. They are not alone. The number one request to the parks and recreation department is for walking trails, driven by baby boomers. Alternatives to private automobiles also include carsharing (private use, shared costs) and car pooling (shared rides). These are rising in popularity here and elsewhere. Car companies are finally adopting more sustainable technologies, notably electric drives. They would be even wiser to invest in buses and passenger trains if they hope to retain their relationship with the baby boomers and the millennials. u Ian Gartshore is chairman of the nonprofit Energy Solutions for V.I. www.esvi.ca

Festival celebrates cultural diversity

ARTE DE Carnavale part of nationwide culture days. BY KARL YU THE NEWS BULLETIN

Venice in the 17th century is the inspiration for the third annual Art de Carnavale Festival in Nanaimo next month. Organizer Shalema Gantt says the Sept. 28 event is part of the Culture Days celebrations, which take place between Sept. 27-29 right across the country. The Arte de Carnavale Festival will take place from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. “Arte de Carnavale is to celebrate the different ethnic cultures in our community as well as to celebrate Culture Days, but the theme of Arte de Carnavale came to me from the Venetian carnival they do in Venice,” explains Gantt. “We wanted to celebrate the Venetian mask and the 17th century clothes, costumes and we celebrate it by bringing this event together at Diana Krall Plaza.” Gantt says this year’s celebration will include visual and performance artists,

live music, face painting fashion shows and vendors amongst other things, and it will also take place for a longer period of time than festivals in the past. “This year we want to introduce something new, having it go into the evening so that we can take advantage of the beautiful downtown and have an open market at night as well,” she said. The Arte de Carnavale will also provide an opportunity for downtown businesses and downtown association to join in, according to Gantt. “This is an opportunity to invite all the retailers and all the businesses downtown to help support people who support the downtown,” she says. While there is about a month between now and the Arte de Carnavale, there will be model auditions this Thursday (Aug. 29) at Nanaimo’s conference centre for the fashion show/model search portion of the festival. The auditions will take place between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. and again between 4 and 8 p.m. Anyone interested in the audition can call Gantt at 250-729-9332. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

The poster for Arte de Carnavale reflects the Venice theme for the third annual event which Shalema Gantt is promoting. The festival, which takes place Sept. 28 at Diana Krall Plaza, is designed to celebrate different ethnic cultures in the city.

Gallery fundraiser gets into Christmas spirit early The Nanaimo Art Gallery is inviting artists from Vancouver Island, the Gulf Island and beyond to get into the Christmas spirit a little early this year. The gallery is hosting its second annual holiday fundraiser, Ornament, by encouraging artists to create unique, sculptural art-

works in the form of tree ornaments. Although it’s a holiday fundraiser, it’s not necessary to create the usual Christmas fare – ideas range from clever takes, visual puns or commentary on commercialism, among others. All works must be light

The Nanaimo Cultural Map is nearing completion. Ross Collicutt, application analyst for the City of Nanaimo’s IT department, said the colour-coded, searchable and categorized online visual representation of culture in Nanaimo has undergone a soft launch and all the bugs are currently being ironed out. The map includes listings for artists, cultural industries, culinary arts and food, cultural organizations, cultural facilities, natural heritage, cultural heritage and sports. “We’re going through some testing right now, getting things up and running and making sure everything’s working as we had hoped and as we had planned and to get the people currently on the map with their listings to login and make sure their information is current and up-to-date,” Collicutt said. “Part of the map is that it’s got a login feature that anybody who’s got a cultural organization, group or business of any kind that fits on the map, they can log in and if a listing is already on the map, they can claim it and update their information. If it doesn’t exist on the map yet, they can create one and it will show on the map with a little map pin.” Collicutt said testing is going smoothly, although there have been a few graphic tweaks, and he expects only minor adjustments will be need to be made. “As I’m getting more and more feedback from the people who are using it, (there will be) just little things here and there to make it easier to use and putting as much information on it as I can for help, to make the process of signing up and creating listings much easier for everyone,” he said, adding that everyone that has provided feedback is interested in seeing where the project is going. Collicutt estimates that the Nanaimo Cultural Map will be fully functional in a few weeks’ time, but an exact date has not been determined yet. “It depends on how fast everyone signs up and updates their information. We’re hoping that it’s within the next few weeks and we’ll definitely be sending out press releases and everything when it does,” he said. The map can be viewed at www.nanaimo. ca/PRC/CulturalMap.

Leo

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you have some shopping to do, but it is better if you space out your purchases and conserve your funds. A surprise bill may pop up and catch you off guard. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, recreational plans may have to take a back seat to responsibilities at work this week. Just when you thought you were done with all of your assignments, some extra work finds you. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you may feel as though you are alone this week. All it takes is a phone call or email to have some company if you feel the need. Don’t hesitate to make a connection. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 It may be difficult to get to the heart of a matter that has monopolized your time, Cancer. But some things will come to light soon enough if you remain patient. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 There is no easy way out of a tricky situation involving some friends. You will end up in hot water if you take one’s side over the other. The best thing to do is remain neutral.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you are expected to lead the way for others, even though you do not have all of the answers. Don’t worry, you work well under pressure and others will follow your lead. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Your career could be coming to a crossroads, Scorpio. Start networking now as much as possible so you are in a better position should you need to make a move. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, jump into something new if you feel like taking chances. Even if your leap of faith doesn’t reap any rewards, you will feel better for having tried. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you may end up getting blamed for something that isn’t your fault. Bide your time and the truth will come out. Accept the apologies of those who were quick to blame. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, try not to overdo things when you are met with a burst of creative energy this week. You may start more projects than you can possibly handle. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, so much is going on this week that you will need to organize your thoughts and manage your time effectively.

June Anne Doyle (Brooks)

June Anne Doyle (Brooks), born June 7 1945, passed away peacefully on August 14th, 2013. The family is grateful for the high quality of care from the nurses, doctors and the volunteers at the Palliative Care unit and the kind support of the Nanaimo Hospice and Home Care Nursing. June is predeceased by her parents, Lucienne and John and her mother-in-law and father-in-law, Fern and Wilf Doyle. She leaves behind husband, Wayne Doyle and daughters Deanna Doyle and Colleen (Mark)Wilson and grandchildren Lauren, Marie Legath and Trevor Wilson. A beautiful lady, June was always kind, gracious and blessed with a beautiful spirit. She will be sadly missed, but never forgotten. The rich, loving memories of her life with family and friends will forever fill the rest of our lives with warmth and inspiration. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, friend, teacher and enjoyed her time with family, travelling and living on Vancouver Island. June loved seeing the charm and beauty of the humming birds in her garden. They seem to symbolize joy and beauty and remind us that every connection in life has meaning. June lived her life with much joy and lived it to the fullest with such grace and showed great courage as she battled cancer. She will be forever loved and honored in our hearts.

Juvenile golfer finishes fourth

JUNIOR FOOTBALL team moves above .500 after 37-27 road win over Kamloops Broncos.

One of Nanaimo’s up-and-coming golfers was right in the hunt at provincial championships last week. Thirteen-year-old Shirin Anjarwalla of the Nanaimo Golf Club finished fourth at B.C. Golf’s Juvenile Championship at Courtenay’s Crown Isle Resort. Anjarwalla went into Thursday’s final round with a onestroke lead on the field, but Burnaby’s Sumie Francois shot an even par final round to finish at plus-four for the tournament. Anjarwalla finished plus-seven. John MacDonald, Markus Lindkvist, Kevin Bishop and Brandon Seabloom all competed at provincials as well, which were held concurrently at Crown Isle.

Beach pair wins national medal Nanaimo’s Victoria Behie was one of the best on the beach this past weekend. Behie and her partner Sarah Chase of Campbell River won bronze in the U18 division at Volleyball Canada’s Beach National Championships at Vancouver’s Spanish Banks. Behie won gold at Volleyball B.C.’s beach provincials earlier this month at Parksville.

KARL YU/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Sandy showdown Jeremy Semple, left to right, Jordan Hansen, Raf Korkowski and Theo Stewart hit the Bowen Park sand courts for a beach volleyball matchup on Sunday.

The Broncos bucked for awhile there, but the Raiders managed to finish on top. The V.I. Raiders defeated the Kamloops Broncos 37-27 in Canadian Junior Football League action on Saturday night in the Interior. The Nanaimo team trailed 19-11 at halftime, but scored a touchdown late in the third quarter and added another 19 points in the fourth to seal the victory. “We played as poor as we possibly could on offence for the first half and … defence and special teams kind of kept us in the game,” said Matthew (Snoop) Blokker, Raiders coach. T h e V. I . s q u a d focused its offensive game plan more on the run in the second half. “We did a good job at doing that and once we got some energy again, I really thought we just took over the game,” Blokker said. Jaeden Marwick got the bulk of the time behind centre, finishing 8-for-17 passing for 148 yards, three picks and one touchdown pass to Dustin Rodriguez. The Raiders gained

216 yards on the ground, using a variety of looks as four different guys got at least five carries. Michael Ritchott was most productive, rushing eight times for 72 yards including a 45-yard TD run. Mikhail Maloff had 51 yards and a TD. Ryan Jones was good on both his field goal attempts. Defensively, Ariel Fabbro had a 40-yard interception return for a touchdown and Cole Bishop had two INTs. Dylan Chapdelaine had the Raiders’ other pick and also led the team with seven tackles. Ash Gayat had two sacks and Tristian Koronkiewicz, Nathan Warawa and Josh Castillo-Toledo also got to the Broncos’ QB. The result marked a milestone, as Blokker became the winningest coach in B.C. Football Conference history with his 84th regular-season victory. GAME ON … The Raiders (3-2) now have a bye week and play their next game Sept. 7 when they host the Okanagan Sun (4-1) at 2 p.m. at Caledonia Park.

Nanaimo News Bulletin 43

Gaining strength from those who can’t ride Kyle Slavin News staff

Marc Lavergne spent four years watching his father slowly lose his life, as a nonaggressive form of bladder cancer took away his independence. “He went from a very strong-willed, physical individual to a person that just had to sit down in his chair and watch life go by. And that was very hard for him,” says Lavergne, ceremonial, protocol and advisory NCO for the Island District RCMP. “I remember watching him watch people cut his grass – that was one of the most painful things. He was still at home, not physically able to get outside. That really set him back.” Lavergne, a father of three girls, says it’s impossible to fathom just how taxing going through that experience would be for a parent of a child with cancer. Trying to put himself in those parents’ shoes is what’s helping motivate him through every Tour de Rock training ride, every hill and every pedal-stroke he takes. “I can do this. It’s by no means an easy task, but I am physically able, and I want to do it,” he says. Ray Carfantan is in a very similar boat. Also a father of three girls, he knows how fortunate he is that all of them are healthy. “As a father I’m very lucky. I don’t have kids with cancer. So my hope in terms of the ride and trying to make things better for kids is a bit of an insurance policy in the event their kids are diagnosed with something. I want to do my part for cancer research and treatment, so they’re further down the road than they are today,” says Carfantan, staff sergeant in charge of the Island District general investigation section. Carfantan, like Lavergne, also watched cancer slowly take his father’s life. “That process was excruciating. Knowing the end was coming and wanting to have conversations that you haven’t had, deeper conversations that you’ve never really attempted to be able to have,” Carfantan says. “It really hits home when you talk to a parent

that lost a child to cancer.” Those parents will never have the chance to watch their child experience life, he says, and it’s that harsh reality that motivates him to ride. Jennifer Prunty, while not a parent, had her own cancer scare last summer that put the fragility of life into perspective. A pink mole above her left knee turned out to be a fast-developing melanoma. She treated it aggressively – having it twice removed and requiring a lymph node biopsy – and thankfully doctors were successful in removing it all. “That was my wake-up call. Cancer can hit any time, when you least expect it,” she says. “It kind of sent us for a Tilt-A-Whirl, and I decided everything is going on hold next year, and I’m doing the Tour de Rock.” Prunty, an RCMP officer working for the Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crimes Unit, says Tour is her way giving back. “Cancer is still a really scary word. I just can’t imagine how horrible that would be to hear that your small child (who) you have all these

expectations for has cancer,” she says. That perspective makes her want to do as much as she can to raise money for a cure and support programs for these kids and their families. The three RCMP officers are all members of this year’s 21-person Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team. The team, made up of police officers, members of the media and special guests, will cycle 1,100 kilometres from Port Alice to Victoria next month raising money for pediatric cancer research and support programs. “Yeah, it would be a lot easier to make a donation, but there’s a commitment and passion involved in the Tour de Rock. It’s my responsibility as a police officer who can do this to do it,” Prunty says. “I’m healthy; I’m fit; there’s no reason why I can’t. There’s a lot of people who are going through cancer treatments who would like to do this who physically can’t so it’s my responsibility to grab it and do it.” kslavin@saanichnews.com
