Harvest Festival features larger farmers’ market

Crystal Dennison, Nanaimo Foodshare executive director, shows off a small sample of some of the produce gleaned from Nanaimo Community Gardens on Pine Street last week. Nanaimo Foodshare is one of the beneficiaries of donations raised at the upcoming annual Harvest Festival and is among local farmers and organizations promoting local food production strategies highlighted at the festival. CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN

BY CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN

here will be more than a little something to sample at the third annual Harvest Festival. Once again Wesley Street in Nanaimo’s Old City Quarter will be blocked off and stacked chock full of fresh-from-the-farm produce, plus locally made preserves and crafts from at least 40 vendors, live entertainment and fresh food whipped up by local chefs. “Our farmers market has doubled in size

over last year, so that’s an exciting attraction,” said Kim Smythe, event organizer. “We’ll have about 20 booths of farmers and value-added vendors. By value-added, I mean things like honey and salsas and locally processed and canned goods.” Live entertainment runs non-stop throughout the festival, which happens Saturday (Sept. 14) 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with five acts, including the Mount Benson Ceilidh Band, Tribute, Gerry Barnum, Coombs Old Time Fiddlers and more. ◆ See ‘EVENT’ /4

A five-year-old girl was rushed to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital after she was struck by a car Friday. The accident happened at about 8:30 a.m. on Wakesiah Avenue between First and Second streets. The girl was walking to school with her mother and her younger sibling when she suddenly ran onto the road. “Suddenly the kid just bolts from her mom,” said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman. “Her mom tries to grab her and she just ran right into traffic.” The child was struck by the front bumper of a Dodge Caliber, driven by a 27-year-old woman, and thrown about eight metres by the impact. The girl suffered a broken pelvis and other possible internal injuries, police said. Neither speed or alcohol were factors in the accident and no charges are pending against the driver. Victim Services are tending to the mother and the driver. O’Brien said there is a church property near where the accident occurred that children will often cut through to get to school. Police closed Wakesiah temporarily while they conducted their investigation into the incident. “It’s a tragic accident that was probably unavoidable,” O’Brien said.

Not all accidents can be avoided, but Nanaimo RCMP’s municipal traffic section has stepped up enforcement in school zones with the start of the new school year. Cpl. Norm Smith, head of municipal traffic, said speed enforcement in school zones is being delivered with a two-pronged approach of education and penalties. Speed Watch volunteers are manning school zones with speed boards displaying drivers’ speeds. “People who are travelling in excess of the speed limit will be receiving letters in the mail warning that they were caught speeding,” Smith said. Police are also setting up at zones and handing out tickets to violators. On Wednesday, police issued more than 20 speeding tickets. “One person on Jingle Pot Road lost their car for seven days for excessive speeding in a school zone,” Smith said. “They were travelling 77 in a 30 zone. We are out in force. We value our children, so we want to make sure people slow down in school zones.” A 30 km/h speed limit is in effect in school zones Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., on days when classes are in session. The fine for driving one to 20 km/h over the speed limit in a school zone is $196. For speeds exceeding 20 km/h over the limit, the fine climbs to $253. Excessive speeding is considered any speed higher than 40 km/h above the posted speed limit and carries higher fines. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Nanaimo rCMP return stolen mountain bikes to tourists Police called An Alberta couple whose mountain bikes were stolen while they were visiting Nanaimo received some good news this week when Mounties called and to tell them their bikes had been recovered. The husband and wife from Blackfolds, Alta., arrived in Nanaimo July 31.

After checking into their motel they made sure their Norco mountain bikes were secured to their vehicle with a two-metre cable lock wrapped through each of the bikes’ suspension and then secured to their bike carrier, but the next morning they found the cable cut and the bikes gone.

Serial numbers were provided to police and they were told they would be contacted if the bikes were found. They had little hope of that happening, but Sept. 3 Nanaimo Mounties called to tell them their bikes had been found at a residence known to police.

When no one in the residence claimed any knowledge of the bikes, police seized the bikes and no charges were laid. The bikes are being shipped to the couple this week who told police the theft won’t deter them from returning to ride Nanaimo’s mountain bike trails. TELUS STORE OR AUTHORIZED DEALER

during radio staff dispute By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN

Internal static over p o l i c y a n d m a nagement issues at Nanaimo community radio station 101.7 CHLY FM has culminated in police ejecting programmers and their guests from the building. RCMP were called three times to the station’s studio on Lois Lane recently to order volunteer programmers from the premises who had been suspended from broadcasting at the studio by management. The dispute between volunteer broadcasters and management staff has been brewing for several months, but heated up in the summer with disagreements between Dave O Rama, host of The Lovecast radio program and station management over how technical issues affecting live broadcasts were handled. Several programmers have been suspended from broadcasting at CHLY so far. Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman, said in each case people left the station voluntarily and without incident. Matt Carter, host of Impending Loom, said there are underlying issues surrounding the dispute that involve society hiring and fiscal policies, plus issues concerning lack of respect by staff toward the volunteers who have decades of broadcast experience. Also at issue is the CHLY’s license renewal, which goes before the Canadian Radio- television Te l e c o m m u n i c a tions Commission for approval by early 2014. Greg Boulter, Malaspina Radio Society executive director, cites an incident in which another university radio station lost its license when programmers took over its studios in defence of the decision to have volunteers banned from the premises. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Supplies campaign short of goal

FoUNdaTioN raiSES more than $30,000 for local students. By Karl yu

KARL YU/The News BULLeTiN

Marty Howe rubs girlfriend Maria Lee’s clean-shaven head. Lee had her head shaved as part of a Coastal Community Credit Union event that assisted the Nanaimo-Ladysmith Schools Foundation’s Stock the Lockers campaign on Thursday, with $5,200 being raised by the head shaving and about $30,000 overall for the campaign.

high on lists of child poverty, although van Steen said there has been a slight improvement. “It’s always been that way. Nanaimo used to be within the Top-3 for years and years and years and B.C. used to be No. 1 for child poverty, so the numbers have changed a little bit, we’re within the Top-15 now, so that’s certainly an improvement with us but it’s still very significant in our schools when you’re looking at feeding kids and school supplies for kids and having them partake in activities with all the other kids,” van Steen said. “We still feel it.” Foundation president Patrick

Ross said because of the number of students dealing with poverty, the Stock the Lockers program can give needy students a leg up. “We know that there is a correlation between financial success and academic success, so the more we can support kids who are coming from financially-stressed families, the better they can do in school, that’s what I believe anyway,” Ross said. The campaign, which began in 2009, has raised $140,000, which has gone toward the foundation’s Student Support Fund. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

City discusses flood plan By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN

The News BulleTiN

While the 2013 Stock the Lockers campaign fell short of its $50,000 goal, officials with the Nanaimo-Ladysmith Schools Foundation are still happy with the estimated $30,000 raised. The program, which began on Aug. 15 and ended Thursday, provides school supplies and lunch and breakfast to students in need. Foundation executive director Erin van Steen said there are a number of reasons for the drop. “There are several issues. One of our big issues is there’s been some changes with the gaming policies and procedures, so we’re probably down $10,000 to $15,000 just in that alone but we hope to be working with the gaming commission and change that around for next year,” van Steen said. “It’s just a sign of the times. I think we have the same amount of donations coming in, people just aren’t able to donate as much as what they did in previous years,” she said. “But $30,000 is amazing in three weeks and it will certainly get us the school supplies we need for the kids and it will put the student support fund money in all of our schools. We’ll be able to meet the needs this year.” She said the foundation’s fundraising doesn’t just take place during the three weeks of the Stock the Lockers campaign; it’s year-round.

The Colliery dams will still fail to meet B.C. dam safety regulations, despite efforts to address flood safety risks, said Susan Clift, the city’s director of engineering and public works. Nanaimo city staff members have pitched a new plan to solve the short-term flood risks posed by the centuryold middle and lower Colliery dams this winter. The strategy, outlined for councillors Monday, proposes the city rolls out water level monitoring, an evacuation information blitz and new neighbourhood sirens over the next seven weeks. The multi-level plan is expected to cost $50,000 to $100,000 – adding to the $700,000 expense the City of Nanaimo has already incurred to determine the future of the Colliery dams. And even with the latest precautions, Clift said the city will not meet provincial dam safety rules. The province has flagged the two dam structures for being at extreme risk of failing during a major quake or flood and has required the city to fix any public hazards in a timely manner. The provincial authority also expects a long-term solution for the structures this September – a document city staff members do not expect will be ready until after interim measures are in place this October. The consequences for not following the regulations is unclear according to Clift, but she said there’s little else the city can do except to move forward with its latest plan. The B.C. Dam Safety Branch

has declined to comment until the city submits new shortterm mitigation measures. City council debated the recommended interim actions after press time Monday. “[To be in compliance] we would have had to complete the plan that we had, which was to remove the dams,” Clift said. “We still need to go ahead and do what we can and when that’s in place, work expeditiously on a long-term plan.” When the city opted to halt demolition of the dams for a 30-day consultation with the Snuneymuxw First Nation, the city was urged to quickly correct the dams’ problems and come up with short-term measures to allay risk while deficiencies are being addressed. But Nanaimo city officials are now only prepared to focus on interim solutions, pointing out there is no longer time this season to do physical changes to the dams. The new plan looks at dam monitoring and sensing systems for water levels, information signs, emergency response exercises and a new neighbourhood siren system. Toby Seward, the city’s general manager of community safety and development, said the plan is important for the safety of people this winter. The alarms – modeled after Tsunami warning systems – will ring if water reaches certain levels and new signs will help direct people on where they should go in an emergency. If approved, the new system will be installed this fall and close to 1,800 Harewood residents will be invited to emergency drills. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Pensioners organization celebrates diamond anniversary By Karl yu The News BulleTiN

The Nanaimo branch of the B.C. Old Age Pensioners is set to turn 75. Treasurer Susan Jarvis says while the provincial organization is political and fights for the rights of seniors, the local branch (the oldest in British

Columbia), which has a hall on Labieux Road, provides social activities for members. “It’s a real feel-good place. Our members are just really happy people and it’s just a really happy place to be,” Jarvis said. “We have soups and sandwiches once a month for our members and then we have a potluck at the end of

the month for members and then we play cards and pool on Thursday nights and we’re having a Thanksgiving Dinner coming up. All the special holidays, we have special dinners and special functions for all of them.” The membership fee is $20 a year and Jarvis says most of the functions are affordable.

The Nanaimo branch will also commemorate its 75th anniversary on Saturday (Sept. 14) at the Labieux Road hall. “We’re having a big diamond (anniversary) dinner; a $500 gift certificate to Kellers Jewellers is the grand prize and lots and lots of prizes that night, thanks to many donations coming from the community,”

Jarvis said. “We’re pretty excited about that.” Anyone wanting to join can call the hall at 250-585-5748 and Jarvis says anyone over 19 years of age can join, although the age range of the Nanaimo branch is 50 to 90 years. “They all get along pretty well,” Jarvis says. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

u From /1 The fiddles, banjos and other acoustic instruments and musical styles lend an old time country ambience to the annual festival. Food trucks will be driving onto the scene this year too, adding their own special flavours to the event. “We have, at this point, three food trucks coming and there may be more to announce this week,” Smythe said. “That’s in addition to the five restaurants we have in the fresh food fair.” For animal lovers of all ages, Tiger Lily Farms is bringing its corral of critters, featuring bunnies, lambs, goats and more. Farmer Vicky and Daisy the Cow will also be coming out to entertain the younger festival visitors. More than a dozen displays will highlight farmers and vendors from the Nanaimo region and other local food sources, emerging regional food strategies, recycling programs, community gardens and information on local water resources. “What’s really starting to gain traction is the whole local food movement is starting to catch up to Cowichan and Comox areas, so last year we had 28 or 29 booths in total – our count as of this point is 43,” Smythe said. The festival is free, but organizers are asking visitors to bring non-perishable food item donations for Loaves and Fishes Community Food Bank and cash donations for Nanaimo Foodshare. Vendors, farmers and restaurateurs can inquire about booth availability by calling Smythe at 250-758-5555. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

New walkway planned for Departure Bay Nanaimo residents will get the chance to weigh in on a new look for Departure Bay’s beach walkway this fall. City officials are putting forward early designs for the old walkway this September as part of an effort to gather input from area residents. The city has $350,000 put aside in its financial plan to give the beach park a facelift, from fixing the pathway slope to building new beach ramps to help boost accessibility. It’s good news to the Departure Bay Neighbourhood Association, whose members say they’ve been pressing the city for upgrades over the past several years. The association has been hoping to see the walkway levelled, as well as new lights, railing and stairs. The concept is slated to go public this September in an open house. The city will have a better idea of cost and design when the project goes to tender next spring. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Heating solutions sought

Fourt doesn’t believe there are any utilities currently near Nanaimo’s hospital to provide thermal heat, but said the facility would be a good anchor tenant for a new venture. There are also neighbouring facilities that would potentially use a new neighbourhood energy system. “We are trying to be [openminded]….this is an expression of interest and an opportunity to maybe discuss something different [than] the traditional avenues,” Fourt said. “This could be a way where we don’t have to incur debt and are able to also achieve our sustainability objectives.” Island Health hopes a new energy system could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 33 per cent if it uses less fossil fuels and natural gas. It could also save the authority carbon credits needed to emit, according to Fourt. The credits have cost the organization $100,000 annually in Nanaimo. Proponents of a waste-toenergy incinerator at Duke Point have talked about providing heat and steam to nearby businesses but there has been no discussion with Island Health. Fourt said she suspects the facility would be too far away to provide any kind of thermal energy option. A new system isn’t expected to go online until 2017.

hEalth authority looks for new energy options for hospital. By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN

The push for a new thermal energy system is gaining steam at Vancouver Island Heath Authority. Island Health has put out an expression of interest for locallyproduced and environmentallyfriendly thermal energy options for Nanaimo Regional General Hospital and the Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria. The facilities are due for an energy overhaul, prompting the search for a new outside-the-box ways to access heat, said Deanna Fourt, the authority’s director of energy efficiency and conservation. The hospitals have been using natural-gas burning boilers to produce energy through steam. But according to Island Health, the method accounts for 42 per cent of its greenhouse gas emissions and scheduled replacement will cost an estimated $15 to $20 million for Nanaimo’s hospital alone. With rising health care and new infrastructure expenses, Island Health is looking for a cleaner and more cost-effective thermal system.

Burning ban lifted for southern Island It’s OK to light an open fire again on south Vancouver Island. The Coast Fire Centre lifted the ban on open burning at noon Friday because recent wet weather and cooler temperatures lowered the risk of wildfires. Marg Drysdale, fire information officer, said the Coast Fire Centre is asking people to be careful about where they place their fires and vigilant about

monitoring them. “People often just don’t take a look around when they’re putting up their piles,” Drysdale said. “So if they could be very cautious about where they’re burning. The big thing is we just don’t want any escapes if people are doing any backyard burning.” To report wildfires, call 1-800663-5555.

VIA Rail, passenger service provider, and the Island Corridor Foundation, which owns the tracks, are at a standstill in negotiations to restart passenger rail service. “It’s essential that VIA Rail comes to the table and works with the various levels of government – federal, provincial and municipal – in order to make sure that rail line is reinstated,” Crowder said. “I was

Program reaches out to abused seniors Nanaimo Family Life’s new program Emerging Elders helps aging community By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN

n elderly Nanaimo man is invited to convalesce in Vancouver at the home of his son and son’s girlfriend after receiving ankle surgery. Soon after arriving he’s asked to pay into food and house expenses and his bank account is switched to a joint account in Vancouver where his pension cheques are deposited. The father can’t leave the house on his own because of the cast on his leg and is only allowed to visit his new doctor on the mainland, nor can he go shopping without his son’s girlfriend along. He’s forced to sleep in the home’s computer room with no privacy. He’s not allowed to take his walker on outings or take his medications with him for a family Christmas visit to Nanaimo that he pleaded for. During his stay family members take him to his original doctor who’s astounded to discover the man is still, nearly a year later, wearing the cast that should have been removed a month after the surgery. The doctor has the cast removed, prescribes fresh medications and

gets the man a walker. Four to 10 per cent of elderly people in B.C. will suffer mistreatment, often at the hands of loved ones. To raise awareness about the problem and get abused seniors the help they need, Nanaimo Family Life Association has formed the Emerging Elders program. “That number could actually be higher because they estimate that there could be an additional 10 per cent or more who never report,” said Floyd Blades, Emerging Elders program coordinator. “So it’s a tough situation because our population of seniors is going up so rapidly. By 2038, one in four people in Canada, or about 12.5 million of an predicted of population of 50 million, will be over 65. “If this is happening to four per cent of them, that’s a frightening amount of people,” Blades said. Most often a caregiver manages to get themselves into a position of power over the victim. “The dynamic of the abuse spectrum for seniors keeps the power and control aspect hidden, because in many cases abusers are triangulating against the system and the family at the same time,” Blades

said. “There are circumstances where abusers will actively alienate and threaten family members so they can maintain their control and then when someone comes along and asks what’s going on in the situation their response is, ‘Well, we haven’t seen the family in so long and no one comes around and we just kind of stepped up to help this person.’ The next thing you know

when you peel the layer off, there’s something really, really unpleasant going on underneath.” Reports of cases, like the Nanaimo man confined in Vancouver, are on the rise. The seven major forms of abuse include physical, psychological and emotional abuse, financial abuse or exploitation, sexual, medication abuse, violation of civil and human rights in

the form of alienation or isolation of a senior from family and friends, neglect and self-neglect. “Each one of these appears in various circumstances,” Blades said. “In some cases they discover that several kinds of abuse may be going on. Once the abuse starts, if it remains untouched, it tends to accelerate.” Some of the rise in abuse is coming from the emergence of the “sandwich generation,” Blades said, of people already working and taking care of their children and homes, who are forced into a situation where their parents must move in with them and be cared for as well. The Emerging Elders program is focused on being an active part of preventing the continuation and rise in elder abuse and is currently recruiting a pool of volunteers to deliver workshops to various groups and organizations around Nanaimo. Nanaimo Family Life also runs the senior peer counselling program, which helped the elderly man in the example after the man’s family got him in contact with a counsellor. Together they formed a plan to keep him safe while his situation was dealt with. He is now living in his own home and has reconnected with his friends and family. Sgt. Sheryl Armstrong, Nanaimo RCMP spokeswoman, said education is

one key to help prevent elder abuse. Nanaimo RCMP members and RCMP victim services give seminars and workshops in seniors facilities to help people recognize signs of mistreatment and spot scams. “If you look on the Island, there are a lot of seniors who retire here because of the weather and their family members may not be here, so it’s easy for them to be taken advantage of,” Armstrong said. She cited a case where a hired companion caregiver won the trust of a senior and got power of attorney over his accounts. “So the family didn’t notice anything, it started out slowly with her just buying the groceries,” Armstrong said. “Before everything was over and done with she’d taken over $200,000. That kind of stuff happens a lot.” Programs like Emerging Elders and senior peer counselling can be excellent referral conduits to a wide range of services available to help seniors such as Vancouver Island Health Authority’s senior outreach Team. “There are programs out there, but how do they reach them?” Armstrong asked. To become a volunteer or learn more about the Emerging Elders program, please visit the Nanaimo Family Life Association website at www.nflabc.org.

EDITORIAL

Teach pupils to play nice September is a great time to fall back into a routine. And the provincial government and unions representing teachers and school support staff appear to have their annual routines down pat by now. September, especially since their labour disputes seem to be never-ending in recent years, is when both sides of the bargaining table argue that the other party is unco-operative and doesn’t truly have students’ interests at heart. This annual back-and-forth of fingerpointing just tells us neither side truly believes it’s all about the children. Accusatory bargaining in a public forum does nothing to help the situation we’re faced with, a situation where the kids truly should be the priority. We agree with both sides when they say a deal needs to be reached soon. We agree when they both say that deal has to happen without disrupting students in the classroom. And we agree that education is essential to our kids’ futures, and is essential in growing our economy. But we can’t be teaching our kids to play nice and do good when we aren’t walking the talk ourselves. It’s the worst-kept secret that labour relations of any kind – essential service or not – are self-serving to some extent. The province and the teachers both need to quit pretending that they’re only fighting for the kids. They need to honestly acknowledge their differences and what they’re fighting for, and find a compromise that isn’t going to negatively impact the goings on in the classroom. Back-to-school season should be a happy, positive experience for everyone. That hasn’t been the case for many years now, and we need to get resolutions soon for the teachers’ and support staff’s contracts. Otherwise, we’re going to have yet another negative school year that could be severely impacted by two massive labour disputes. Let’s do this for the kids.

can be easily observed and for which overwhelming evidence has been building for decades? Many deniers see climate change as a massive plot or hoax perpetrated by the world’s scientists and scientific institutions, governments, the UN, environmentalists and sinister forces to create a socialist world government or something. Not all go to such extremes. Some accept climate change is occurring but deny humans are responsible. In a Bloomberg article, author and Harvard Law School professor Cass R. Sunstein points to three psychological barriers to accepting climate change that may also help explain why it’s easier for people to believe in chemtrails: People look to readily available examples when assessing danger, focus “on risks or hazards that have an identifiable perpetrator”, and pay more attention to immediate threats than long-term ones. The problem is that science denial is, in the case of chemtrails, a wacky distraction and, in the case of climate change denial, a barrier to addressing an urgent, critical problem. The science is clear: human-caused climate change is the most pressing threat to humanity, and we must work to resolve it. We don’t have time for debunked conspiracy theories.

Let’s not trash incinerator plan just yet To the Editor,

Re: Region expresses opposition to any waste incinerator plan, Aug. 27. Do not be too hasty to say no to a Duke Point waste operation. Times have changed and so has the way the world looks at garbage. It may be time for us to look at the old problem in a new way. What I find most interesting about the idea of a waste to energy garbage incinerator is that they are operated by successful multinational companies around the world. They can stand on their own without

tax dollars. In summary: It is odour-free; the businesses involved are successful environmental service providers with facilities around the world; the project is $500 million without any cost to the City of Nanaimo; Nanaimo will receive taxes from the project instead paying out; it would create more than 300 construction jobs for two to three years, and 70 permanent jobs. We can go see the facility in operation and talk to the councils and community before making any final discussion. The project seems

to have too many positive things going for it not to at least be considered and studied before saying no.

City shouldn’t be trash capital To the Editor,

Re: Region expresses opposition to any waste incinerator plan, Aug. 27. I feel, No. 1, Vancouver can look after its own garbage, and No. 2, what about the smell to the south end residents? Are we to have to smell the burning of garbage all the time?

There are other ways to invest over there, you don’t have to stoop to those levels just for business opportunities. Is this just the tip of the iceberg; is it going to escalate into Nanaimo taking in all of Vancouver Island’s garbage as well? Does Nanaimo want the reputation of the garbage capital of B.C.? I feel city council should endeavor to stop this by all methods available to them, like I said, I am sure there are other investors for Duke Point.

Re: Nanaimo fosters use of alternative transportation with bike lanes, Aug. 27. As an avid recreational cyclist and sometime cycle commuter myself, I went to take a look at the work the city had carried out. To my deep disappointment, I found that the highly touted bike lanes the city has created consist of a single line painted on the north side of Dover Road from Uplands Road to Applecross Road – a stretch of approximately 200 metres – plus a couple of cyclist symbols painted on the road. There’s nothing before it; there’s nothing after it. That 200m stretch is all there is. For a bike lane, this location is useless. Hammond Bay Road, a few blocks

SCOTT BROWN of Trooper will play acoustic show. BY MELISSA FRYER THE NEWS BULLETIN

Scott Brown is still trying to get his music students to raise a little hell. The long-time bass player for Canadian rock band Trooper has been teaching at Headliners School of Performing Arts for the past three years when he’s not touring across the country. Brown is one of three working rock musicians teaching the Rock School program this year, joining Murray Atkinson, from The Odds, and Todd Sacerty, from Johnny Cash tribute act Big River. “I wanted to do a givingback-to-the-kids kind of thing,” Brown said. The program sees students ages 12-17 playing a variety of instruments, from guitar, bass and drums to vocals and keyboards, organized into small bands, based on skill level. Under Brown’s mentorship, the kids choose eight to 10 songs to work on over the 10-week program, learning how to put all the pieces together, rehearse and, most important of all, make decisions as a group. “It’s the kind of thing we never learned as kids,” Brown said. “We learned through trial and error.” Brown, who lived in

Nanaimo since the age of eight, joined Trooper as its regular bass player about 17 years ago on the recommendation of another Nanaimo son, Paul Gogo, who plays piano in the band. Prior to that, Brown cut his teeth on various international touring acts, including Danger Danger and the Paul Laine Band. The latter, which was managed by Bryan Adams’s manager Bruce Allen, toured with Joe Satriani and Richard Marx. Brown is also performing as a solo acoustic act – just him and a guitar. A lot of the kids he teaches are into the same type of music he is, so it wasn’t a surprise that one of his bands picked Trooper’s Here for a Good Time as one of their songs. He’s still waiting for one of the bands to pick Raise a Little Hell. “We’ve put out some really good bands over the years,” Brown said. At the conclusion of the program, the bands will perform in a showcase night open to the public at Headliners with full sound and stage set-up. While the kids – and their teachers – put in countless hours of hard work, in the end, it’s all about having fun. “They’re all real cool kids,” Brown said. “We have a blast – we just laugh our heads off.” For more information on tuition costs, please visit www.headliners.ca or call 250-585-1811. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

Raiders run right past rival Sun

V.I. SQUAD wins 45-17 at home.

BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

The V.I. Raiders are right back in the chase for first place after a clear victory over the league’s top team. The Raiders defeated the Okanagan Sun 45-17 in B.C. Football Conference action on Saturday at Caledonia Park. “You only get a chance once a week to prove whether you’re good, bad or average and I thought today we proved to ourselves we’re a pretty good team,” said Matthew (Snoop) Blokker, Raiders coach. Nanaimo led 17-0 at halftime and 31-3 after three quarters, but Kelowna pushed back with two majors in the first few minutes of the fourth quarter. An 88-yard interception return touchdown by Andrew Rowe with three and a half minutes left sealed the victory. Nanaimo’s offence

GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN

V.I. Raiders running back Andrew Deleon, left, tries to push aside an Okanagan Sun tackler during Saturday’s B.C. Football Conference game at Caledonia Park. The Raiders won 45-17.

centred around its run game, as eight different players carried the ball, amassing 286 yards and four rushing TDs. The Raiders especially leaned on the run game early, cap-

ping their first drive with a five-yard rushing TD from Ashton Galloway. Ryan Jones kicked a 10-yard field goal in the second quarter and Whitman Tomusiak scored an eight-

yard rushing TD. In the second half, Dylan Schrot scored a 54-yard catch-andrun touchdown from quarterback Jamie Ybarra, then, after Okanagan kicked a 16-field goal, Tomu-

siak scored his second rushing TD of the game, this time a 26 yarder. Ybarra, on a 12-yard run TD, closed out the scoring late in the fourth quarter.

He finished 9-of-15 for 146 yards with one TD and one INT. Galloway was top rusher with seven carries for 61 yards. Cole Bishop had two interceptions and Jaxxen Wylie had the Raiders’ other INT. Ash Gayat had one and a half sacks and Dylan Chapdelaine and Cole Samson also got to the quarterback. “I think this is the kind of game that we needed, to prove to ourselves that we’re actually a contender in this league,” said Ybarra. Bishop said the Raiders knew they could play with the best teams, but said the best team hasn’t been determined yet, and won’t be, for some time. “We’ve got to take the momentum we’ve taken and just ride on and continue to stay humble and continue to keep working,” he said. GRID BITS … The Raiders host the Langley Rams on Saturday (Sept. 14) at 2 p.m. at Caledonia Park. For ticket information, visit www.viraiders.ca. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Clippers win twice to start BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

On showcase weekend, the Nanaimo Clippers showed themselves in a positive light. The junior A hockey team won both its games at the B.C. Hockey League Showcase in Chilliwack to start the season, defeating the West Kelowna Warriors 6-5 on Saturday and then beating the Prince George Spruce Kings 3-1 on Sunday. The opener was a strange one, as the Clips got outshot 48-16 but still held off the Warriors. Coach Mike Vandekamp said his team looked nervous and found itself chasing the puck in a sloppy affair. “But that’s somewhat expected, we didn’t have a ton of time to prepare this week and we’ve got a lot of new players,” he said. So day-to-day improvement is as much as he can ask for, he said. ◆ See ‘SHIPMEN’ /22

Shipmen shine at BCHL Showcase u From /21

“We managed the puck better [Sunday]; we certainly kept the turnovers down and spent less time in our own end because of it,” said Mike Vandekamp. Goalie Jayson Argue played both games and was key to both wins, making 43 saves in the first game and 30 saves the next day. “With a younger team we’re going to make some mistakes and it’s important to have a steady goaltender there to make up for those

“

You get some wins and you build some confidence.

errors,” said Vandekamp. “He was able to do that.” The line of Devin Brosseau, Brendan Taylor and Sheldon Rempal was dangerous

all weekend. Brosseau and Rempal each scored twice the first game, with Taylor adding two assists. Ryan Forbes and Korey Morgan were Nanaimo’s other scorers in the opener. The next day Colton Dahlen, Taylor and Brosseau scored goals. With the stands at Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre filled with scouts, the Clippers got noticed. Vandekamp said a lot of guys were talking to scouts after the games, and sug-

gested the winning results made a difference. The wins should also serve a young team well as many players are embarking on their first BCHL seasons. “If you fall behind at all it can put pressure on the group,” said the coach. “The opposite of that is you get some wins and you build some confidence.” GAME ON … The Clippers play the Alberni Valley Bulldogs Friday (Sept. 13) at 7 p.m. at Port Alberni. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Is Your PC Behaving Badly? Is your PC running slower than when it was new? Are you pestered with pop-ups? Do you have Internet connection problems? Do you get error messages on startup or while running Windows? Does your system lock-up or restart for no reason? Are you running out of hard drive space? Is the system making loud or strange sounds?

PC Tune-Up $99 Most of these problems are caused by a combination of: Low system resources as a result of too many unnecessary programs loading on startup, having viruses, spyware, adware and foistware installed, corrupted or out of date system files, fragmented hard drives, lack of available hard drive space, and overheating caused by clogged heat sinks and defective fans. Our Tune-Up takes care of the most common computer problems that our service department sees on a daily basis. We can also recommend hardware and software upgrades to make your system perform better than new. Allow two working days for this service.

Leaders in training learn life skills from program

HANNAH MCNABB worked with special needs kids, seniors. BY KARL YU

KARL YU/THE NEWS BULLETIN

THE NEWS BULLETIN

annah McNabb’s life has been enriched with three years in Nanaimo Parks Recreation and Culture’s Leaders in Training program. The summer program has run for 31 years and allows teenagers like McNabb to volunteer in the community. The Grade 9 student said working with children with special needs was something that was enjoyable this past summer. “I did a special needs camp called Camp Sunsation and that was a lot of fun,” McNabb said. “I loved that camp. It was just so nice to work with them and the leaders were great there ... I also worked at [Footholds Therapy Centre], which was another special needs camp, and that was also great.” McNabb said watching the campers have trust in her and working with them was gratifying. The experience she gained was invaluable. “The leaders were awesome because they were trained in this and I learned so much from them. I was able to ask them, ‘What happens when this happens?’ and they said,

‘You can just do it like this,’ and I got to see how they work and how they play and how they interact with people. It was just very nice and very touching,” she said. For the very first time, there were volunteer opportunities with seniors and it was something McNabb enjoyed as well, as she helped serve coffee, tea and cinnamon buns at a party for seniors. “They’re just so sweet, I love them,” she said of the seniors. “One of them was an Olympic swimmer and she would dance and do little arm motions like she was swimming and I [said], ‘That’s so cool,” and they were like, ‘Well yeah, she was an Olympian,’ and I was like, ‘Wow!’ They’re very lively and nice to chat with and they know a lot, so you can ask them about anything and they’ll know it, so they were cool to work with.” While she can volunteer with the Leaders in Training program again next summer, McNabb is looking to take the next step. “I’m also eligible to be in the Junior Summer Leader program and that’s where pretty much we’re working at the camps, but because we’re only juniors, we only get two weeks at a time at each camp and the year after that, when I turn 16, I can work full time at one camp,” said McNabb. “I can do the [Leaders in Training program] again but I want to try and apply for the

Junior Summer Leader.” Megan Lum, recreation coordinator, said the program has evolved over the past 31 years to afford people like McNabb more opportunities. “Now they do workshops throughout the summer in addition to their basic training. We’ve done Toastmasters with them, we did some workshops with Foodshare this year around making nutritious, healthy lunches, first aid and we’ve done Foodsafe in the past – just trying to the equip them with more skills so that once they’re done with our program, they don’t only have skills around working with children or camps but they can go out into the community and apply for a job at McDonalds and Chapters or Shoppers Drug Mart and have something to offer because they’ve worked as part of a team and have a little bit of that experience,” Lum said.

Cancer survivor starts support group By Karl yu The News BulleTiN

A Nanaimo breast cancer survivor is celebrating beating the deadly disease and

starting a support group to help those still suffering from it. Maryanna Sinclaire had mastectomy surgery in March, and is so far feeling fine. SYM SYMBA

Sinclaire said she hoped to have a support system set up by October for people that have had breast cancer as well; she said that too often, people don’t know how to act around cancer victims. “People are scared of the word ‘cancer’ and they don’t want to talk about it to anybody. They’re so scared to come out and say anything to you and they treat you as if you’re a leper in some cases,” she said. S i n c l a i re w a n t s

to erase the stigma sometimes associated with the disease. “It really surprises me how many people, and friends included, where I haven’t even got my prosthesis in and they don’t even want to look there. People are really scared of the word and I think that’s the sad part. “Some friends neglect you because they don’t know what else to say and that’s not fair to those people that have cancer.” Sinclaire held a celebration of life last week and collected donations to the Canadian Cancer Society. She also has a blog (http://thedreadedcword.wordpress. com/) which recounts her journey with cancer. Anyone interested in the support group can call 250-751-1956. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

us the ‘why’ of what we do comes back to being a part of a community and our want to contribute to it. I grew up in a remote Island town and, not that I understood it at the time, community was everything. People helped each other regardless of what they were doing; it was just how things got done. I have vivid memories of teams of people of all ages working (and laughing) in kitchens and backyards. The same was true whenever the local playground needed some work or the community wharf needed repair – peo-

By HannaH King Recently one of the senior managers within the Nanaimo Parks, Recreation and Culture team posed the question, ‘what’s our why?’ It is a simple question on the surface but it really got us thinking. It has quickly become our team mantra. We keep it in mind as we develop and review program proposals. It is what we consider when we align ourselves with other community groups and foster existing relationships. For a lot of

ple just showed up and got things done. People shared ideas, tools, food and even shelter if need be. This is what shaped my understanding of what community should be. I believe that if we share with youth what it means to be a part of a community it will foster a sense of confidence. To me this is what is so wonderful about our Leaders in Training and Quest programs, providing youth with an opportunity to feel a part of their community. They learn that we each have talents and strengths that, if shared, flourish. They learn that it is okay to ask for help and what it feels like to help others. Through working together during these programs they learn that in a group setting sometimes you have to give to get. These are lessons that will prepare a person to be able to face anything life throws at them. Looking at the number of volunteer hours (11,000-plus) it sounds like this summer’s LIT/Quest teams could teach a lot of us what it means to be a part of a community.

Tour supporters now Tour riders Sidney North Saanich RCMP reserve constables ready to fight childhood cancer Devon MacKenzie News staff

As with many Tour de Rock riders, the motivation for Terry Curry to get involved stems from personal experiences with cancer, including a battle of his own. Curry is the oldest rider on the tour at 66 and not only battled prostate cancer himself, after being diagnosed in 2005, but he also lost a brother to childhood cancer when he was young. “In 1965 I lost my 15-year-old brother to leukemia,” Curry said. “He was diagnosed in September and by June he passed away. There was no real treatment then, nothing like compared to now.” Curry said the memories of his brother and the thought of offering hope to children battling the same disease spurred him on to apply to participate in the Tour. “I had always wanted to ride in the Tour de Rock but events in my life just never lined up,” he said. Curry spent 29 years with the RCMP and retired in 2007, after which he began working as a reserve constable at the airport with the Sidney North Saanich RCMP. When those positions were cut this past spring, Curry began working with the RCMP’s South Island Integrated Marine Unit. He’s thankful the stars finally aligned for him to be

able to participate in the Tour. “I am working a few days a week doing that right now which has given me the flexibility to train for the Tour. I was lucky enough to be able to take off time in September and October for fundraising and the ride itself,” he said. Curry’s teammate from the Saanich Peninsula, also a reserve constable with the Sidney North Saanich RCMP, is Alan Neville-Rutherford. The two met through work connections, with Curry working as the RCMP reserve constable for the airport and Neville-Rutherford working for G4S, which handles airport security. Personal connections with cancer are also what spurred Neville-Rutherford to get involved.

“The main motivation for me to ride this year was that I had a cousin who passed away from lymphoma a year after being diagnosed,” Neville-Rutherford said. “We were very close. He had three teenage kids and was the same age as me so it was a real eye-opener.” Neville-Rutherford has been a member of the Sidney North Saanich RCMP auxiliary since 2006 and an avid supporter of the Tour de Rock for many years. “You could usually find me at the Thursday (Sidney) Night Market selling Tour de Rock T-shirts at the RCMP booth and people always asked me if I was the Tour de Rock rider,” he said. “I’m happy to be able to say that I am now, and I’m hoping to do every-

thing I can to raise as much as possible for the pediatric cancer.” The two teammates are training three days a week with the 19 other riders, and credit their trainers in getting them in top shape for the Tour, which begins Sept. 21. “Neither of us ever thought we’d be able to ride the speeds and distances we do. It’s really amazing how much the trainers have helped us and guided us,” Neville-Rutherford said. “Every day we ride it’s a new challenge but a doable one, when you think about what those kids go through. At the end of the day, it really comes down to that — supporting each other as a team so we can raise as much as possible for the kids.” reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com
