CREWS FIND cavern during drill for utility upgrade.
BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THE NEWS BULLETIN
Nanaimo officials are investigating options to stabilize a city street after a void more than two sto-
reys deep was discovered beneath the surface. The City of Nanaimo found a 10-metre by 12-metre coal mine cavein beneath the surface of Pine Street near Victoria Road, last week. It starts a couple of metres below the surface and plunges eight metres deep. According to Susan Clift, the city’s director of engi-

neering and public works, the municipality has been drilling in the area to test for mine voids that might collapse when construction crews start to build trenches for a water and sewer replacement project. Old coal company maps show Nanaimo’s abandoned mine shaft network stretches close to the sur-
face near Pine Street and Victoria Road, creating a potential safety issue. The recent discovery is the only hole found so far and has triggered the temporary shut down of one block on Pine Street. Now city officials are looking for a strategy to fill the hole – an extra expense for the utility project. ◆ See ‘MOST’ /10
The investigation into the deaths of two scuba divers is now in the hands of the B.C. Coroners Service. The case was handed over to the coroner Friday after police determined no foul play was involved in the incident that killed two of three divers partaking in a recreational dive at Snake Island Friday shortly before 3 p.m. All three divers are from Washington State. The incident triggered a massive rescue and search effort by the Canadian Coast Guard, the RCMP West Coast Marine Section and CFB Comox search and rescue squadron to get one of the divers to hospital and find a second diver who had gone missing. The diver who was rushed to hospital died Friday. The third diver was not injured. The body of the missing diver was located Sunday morning by a commercial diver, who was able to secure the body until the RCMP patrol vessel Higget arrived to assist in the recov-

ery, police said in a press release. Barb McLintock, of the B.C. Coroners Service, said Tuesday the victims’ names had not been released because of difficulties contacting the next of kin and that the coroner’s investigation into the deaths is still in its early stages. “Basically, our first job, obviously, was to find and recover diver No. 2, which we successfully did on Sunday,” McLintock said. “Now we’re turning our attention to the whole question of what went wrong and how did this go so badly wrong, but we don’t have any answers to those questions yet. We just know they’re important questions.” Snake Island is located east of Nanaimo in Georgia Strait and is the furthest island out from the entrance to Nanaimo Harbour. The island is also home to the two most popular sites for dive boat excursions – the wrecks of the HMCS Cape Breton and HMCS Saskatchewan off the east side of the island, and the Snake Island Wall, which drops to a depth of at least 200 metres on the island’s west side. ◆ See ‘SNAKE’ /10

the other hand, is something that is proving to be much tougher to get a handle on. Scientists understand what the other is talking about, but getting those ideas across to laymen in the general public and governments poses a problem that increasingly needs to be solved as the world wrestles with ever more complex ecological issues. “What’s new is really the emphasis on uncertainty and the human dimension – how does it impact society and coastal communities?” said Jacquelynne King, groundfish research scientist with Fisheries and Oceans Marine Ecosystems and Aquaculture Division. “That is quite new, but also how do we communicate what we find to each other, but more importantly, to non-scientists? That is actually a difficult one for sci-
& LIQUOR STORE
entists in general. We don’t really know how to tell the general public what our science means and why it’s relevant.” Part of the problem is scientists can take multiple measurements over time that can point to trends or probabilities that make it difficult to base hard environmental policies on. For instance, one might record temperatures over a 20 years that show rising temperatures over that period, but extend the sample time to 40 or 50 years and the data might show a warming trend only 50 per cent of the time. “Scientists like to speak in probabilities – this could happen or that could happen,” Perry said. “Decision makers like to say, ‘Tell me what’s going to happen. I need to make a decision.’” photos@nanaimobulletin.com

ment, such as commercial fishing, increasing ocean acidity, pollution and fertilizer runoff, climate change and the transfer of potentially invasive species from one area of the ocean to another. The conference delegates are also looking at what stressors can be managed versus those that are more difficult to control. Scientists are paying close attention, for instance, to debris from the 2011 Japan earthquake, some of which is carrying mussels and other species across the Pacific to North American shores and could pose threats to local ecosystems. The Japanese government is providing monetary assistance to help with cleanup efforts, Perry said. That represents a stressor that can be managed to some degree. Overall climate change, on

Jacquelynne King, left, and Ian Perry, research scientist with Fisheries and Oceans Canada, have a discussion during a morning break at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre, where more than 400 scientists from several countries have gathered this week for the North Pacific Marine Science Organization to exchange information on changes in the Pacific Ocean ecosystem.
Police are recommending several charges against a driver following a crash that sent six people to hospital on the weekend. The collision happened shortly before midnight Friday when a 2001 red Hyundai Accent, driven by an 18-year-old Nanaimo woman, was about to make a left turn from East Wellington Road onto Bowen Road when it was broadsided by a southbound green 2000 Chrysler Intrepid. Police said it appears the Hyundai had the right of way and was turning on a green turn signal when the Chrysler went through a red light at a high rate of speed. The driver of the Chrysler, a 19-year-old man from Ontario, was taken into custody for an impaired driving investigation. All five young people in the Hyundai were taken to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital with varying degrees of injuries including broken bones. The driver was airlifted to Victoria General Hospital in critical condition with severe internal injuries. Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman, said Tuesday two of the passengers in the Hyundai had been released from hospital, two remain in hospital with broken bones and the driver of the car was still in critical condition in Victoria. “The driver, who is being investigated for impaired driving, received minor cuts to his lower extremities and after providing two breath samples was taken to the hospital and later released.” O’Brien said. Police allege alcohol and speed were major contributing factors in the crash and have so far recommended five charges of impaired driving causing bodily harm and one count of impaired driving. “A traffic re-constructionist’s report is being completed,” O’Brien said. “We’re looking at witness statements, finding video surveillance from various locations nearby to assist with the investigation.” The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information about this accident is asked to call Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.nanaimocrimestoppers.com.

he health of the Pacific Ocean’s ecosystem is on the minds of hundreds of marine scientists who have gathered in Nanaimo this week. More than 400 scientists from Canada, the U.S., China, Japan, Russia and Korea decended upon Nanaimo for the Pacific International Council for Exploration of the Seas, an annual general meeting of the North Pacific Marine Science Organization that runs until Sunday (Oct. 20) and is being hosted at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre by the Canadian Government and Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Each year scientists from Pacific Rim nations gather to discuss the health of the Pacific Ocean, look at trends in climate, pollution, species health and other factors affecting the ocean’s ecosystem and exchange ideas and research results. The meetings rotate between participating nations in cities where research facilities are located, such as the Pacific Biological Station. The last PICES conference held in Nanaimo was in 1996. Since the conferences began in 1992 the discussions have evolved into a format called FUTURE – forecasting and understanding trends, uncertainty and responses in ecosystems. For 2013 the theme of the conference is communicating forecasts, uncertainty and consequences of ecosystem change. “The catchphrase is, ‘What are the possible futures for the Pacific,’” said Ian Perry, ecosystems and fisheries oceanography research scientist with Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Scientists are currently looking at multiple stressors affecting the marine environ-

Sensory garden slated for park
I
upgradES aimEd at Deverill square in south Nanaimo.
By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN
Eighty-two-year-old Pat Portsmouth wishes she could still enjoy one of the only green spaces available to Nanaimo’s south-end residents. But as soon as she started to lose her eyesight, she lost a reason to visit Deverill Square Park. “People think handicapped means you are in a wheelchair [but] there are people who are completely blind and children with low vision and everything that is available there at Deverill Square Park is not available to us,” she said. “It’s the only park we have in the south end, so it has to be diverse and readily available for everybody.” The 82-year-old is working with South End Community Association and City of Nanaimo on early concepts for a new sensory garden at Deverill Square Park on Haliburton Street, which would
allow Portsmouth and others to experience the space through a new lens. The work is being done thanks to a $9,000 park donation. According to Sandra Larocque, a member of the south-end association, creating a space for the senses has been a longtime dream because although the park is wheelchair accessible, it’s not a haven for people with other disabilities like blindness and frailty. The garden would give a less-active part of the population a reason to take part in the social setting, she said. In a sensory garden there could be benches facing the sun so people can feel the heat on their face, fragrant, colorful flowers, bamboos that knock in the wind and water features. “We have elderly neighbours that do a lot in the area and it’d be nice if they had a place to sit in [the park] and just be and watch kids play and maybe hear the willows blow and instruments and smell the flowers,” Larocque said, adding the idea could eventually be a model for other city parks. “There are lots of handi-
capped people that would like to sit down at the park but don’t feel there is anything there for them,” Larocque said. “[A sensory garden is] just this neat way of having something for everyone.” According to Jeff Ritchie, the city’s manager of parks and civic facilities, the City of Nanaimo was thinking of using the $9,000 park donation toward something like park benches or picnic tables, but they are also open to the possibility of a garden people can enjoy through sight, sound, touch and smell. “It is a novel idea,” he said. Ritchie says the community association’s garden concept is currently over-budget and would need to be low maintenance and fit within the range of offerings already in the park. City staff members met with the south-end association yesterday to explore designs for the new project. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Autism Expo helps connect families
I
pRovidES fREE activities, games for children. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
Children with autism and their families will have a chance to get together, have fun and socialize while getting hooked up with local resources and community support services at Autism Expo. The exposition, a free community event open to everyone, will be held this Saturday (Oct. 19) at the Beban Park Social Centre between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Families will connect with one another and local businesses that provide intervention and support services in the mid-Island region. The expo is hosted by the Autism Society of Central Vancouver Island, created in 2011 by Marilyn Sullivan of Nanaimo whose 10-year-old grandson, Zachary, is affected by the disorder. “It’s a family day, so we encourage parents to

bring their kids,” Sullivan said. “We will have providers for services, some government associations
to assist with questions and guide parents in the right direction and we will have games, crafts, enter-
tainment and music and all sorts of things for the kids to do so the parents can do that leisurely and not have to worry about the kids.” Refreshments and lunch, including gluten-free and casein-free food and beverages, will be served as well. Sullivan said the subject of autism is not only a subject near and dear to her heart, but is something many families affected by autism need help with. “There are great needs for information for parents and siblings of kids or adults who are on the autism spectrum, so as a society we have been able to design and create a website that is full of information that can assist and help people find what they need,” Sullivan said. “The members of the board that I created are either parents or grandparents of children or young adults with autism.” For more information about the event, please call Sullivan at 250-7166110 or visit www.autism societycvi.ca.

Nanaimo city council will reconsider spending priorities in its first-ever strategic plan, during a one-year review this fall. The City of Nanaimo plans to hire Ladysmith-based consulting firm Rethink to lead a $3,000 review of its corporate strategic plan. City council released the $121,400 document detailing the municipality’s new mission, values and spending priorities last year, with aims to review its progress every year. Nanaimo Mayor John Ruttan said he believes the City of Nanaimo has done “rea-

sonably well” at hitting the main points of its new corporate vision, moving ahead on projects like supportive housing and the conference centre hotel despite challenges around the Colliery dams and turnover of the city’s top bureaucrat. Now at the one-year mark, it’s important to look at overall accomplishments, councils’ satisfaction with the plan and the potential need to change priorities, he said. Ruttan was hoping to go on a local retreat this fall with council members and new city manager, Ted Swabey, to have an informal talk about whether politicians are still OK with the direction charted for the commu-
nity. But hiring a consultant to facilitate a review will be much the same thing, he said. Not everyone is on board with the move to hire an “outsider” to review the city’s progress, including councillors Bill Bestwick and Jim Kipp, who believe the city can save money by doing the job in-house. But Ruttan and others point out that it could be valuable to get an unbiased perspective from Rethink, the original consultant. “We invested a great deal of money in this program and I think we have had, what I believe to be, very good results,” Ruttan said. “To me, getting the person

who developed [the strategic plan] and oversaw the program to give us an unbiased third party evaluation ... is important.” Coun. Fred Pattje also believes it’s a good move to seek an outside view on whether the city is on the right track. “Of particular importance to me ... [is the] recommendation of the governance study to ensure alignment between councillors on key issues and alignment between council and city staff – that alignment I think requires an outside person,” he said. No date has been set for the review.
The District of Lantzville is still waiting to vote on a new water-sharing agreement with Nanaimo – five months after city officials agreed to finalize terms. Lantzville mayor Jack de Jong said he is disappointed the City of Nanaimo has not yet finalized terms for pumping water into the rural community, a move anticipated to solve limited water supply issues and health concerns. The district can’t move forward until it sees a legal contract. Nanaimo council released the draft terms for a water-sharing agreement last June and agreed to work on finalizing a contract. It is the first offer to ink a water deal since the two municipalities signed a memorandum of understanding in 2005 and would see water piped to 225 homes in upper Lantzville on the condition of limited connections and financial contributions. The district, for example, would be required to pay a total of $49,330 each year for the Port Theatre and Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation as part of the agreement. Lantzville officials have the final say on the terms and planned to review the contract this fall. Residents would also have a chance to weigh in and view engineering plans and costs during an open house. But according to the mayor, the city has not yet released a legal document outlining specific conditions for anyone to consider. Offerings have only been made in “general terms,” he said. Nanaimo city officials were unavailable before press time to comment on the reasons why the contract hasn’t yet been completed. “I was hoping that Nanaimo would at least present us with the contract so we can have a look at it and inform our community … after the summer,” said de Jong. “Certainly I hoped in September sometime we would have gotten some paper and now we are in October and closing in on November and [we] haven’t seen it yet. I am a little disappointed.” De Jong said he understands the city manager turnover and Colliery dams could have delayed work on the contract, but he’s also eager to see the contract move ahead. “We need that [document] in an official capacity … in order for my community to move forward and say yes we agree or no, we don’t agree,” he said. The District of Lantzville has searched for an influx of water for more than a decade as it grapples with stagnant growth, contaminated private wells and limited water supply. Talks with Nanaimo about water-sharing have been ongoing for seven years.

EDITORIAL
Ferry findings appreciated Our ferries are sailing into a foggy future, and that’s not good enough for communities that rely on those boats. MLAs, we’re told, are out and about this autumn talking to British Columbians, but one Island MLA has decided to buck the trend and go talk to Americans. Claire Trevena, the NDP’s transportation critic, is out at sea this week in and around Washington State on an information-gathering tour of that ferry systerm. She may be well-intentioned, but she’s sure to have packed along some partisanship, too, and will remind anyone who’s willing to listen about B.C. Ferries’ executive bonuses. (The fat cats are an easy target, but considering the corporation’s finances, criticisms are justified.) So what will Trevena see aboard the MV Issaquah as it navigates Puget Sound? Fact-finding on the Washington ferries isn’t a new idea. It was less than two years ago that the B.C. Ferry Commission released its Review of the Coastal Ferry Act. That report looked at ferry models around the world and included analysis of Washington State Ferries. It concluded what Trevena and the NDP already know – ferry fares there are cheaper, executive pay is lower and bonuses are nonexistent. There’s a tradeoff – B.C. is further ahead in vessel procurement and upkeep; we have renovated terminals and better amenities on our ships. Absolutely, ferry rides here are becoming unaffordable. But it may be that both systems are unsustainable in their present forms. In both jurisdictions, ferry rates are rising, ridership is down, and the reports basically just recommend increasing government subsidies. Can we find answers in America? It should be noted that Washington State Ferries, when it conducted its most recent report, did its fact finding in B.C. The portholes there might be just as foggy as the ones here, but it’s incumbent upon us to keep looking for answers, anyway. Island communities depend on it.

Once that one is done, maybe they could check over their teaching unit on Enbridge’s Northern Gateway proposal, another labour of the union’s “social justice” team. Entitled “What We Stand To Lose With Pipelines and Supertankers,” it boasts wildlife photos and “key sources” from the left (Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives) to the farleft fringe (Pipe Up Network). It is another protesters’ guide designed around a predetermined viewpoint. BCTF bosses love to talk about the importance of “critical thinking.” These one-sided caricatures of Nike, Enbridge and other familiar villains seem designed to produce the opposite. They remind me of George Orwell’s classic novel 1984, where loyal party members are required to focus on selected enemies in a daily ritual called the Two Minutes Hate. Perhaps this is a clue to why our school system produces so many students lacking in employment skills and bursting with demands for governmentimposed wealth redistribution. u Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalNews.com

Wait and see on real estate investment To the Editor,
Re: Hotel game changer for city’s real estate, Oct. 10. Let’s be a bit more realistic and say that maybe in five years we might see our first groups of tourists come to the new 21-storey hotel. Before that, the building has to be built and the Chinese/Asian tourism market will have to be developed as well. Building a tourism market takes years as it all about building relationships first. And it depends on air services. We have seen some sectors of the tourism industry lose big time the last few years when Air Canada and other airlines dropped services to Asian cities. Whether it leads to higher-priced real estate, a realtor’s dream, is to be seen. It is true that Asian visitors will find Nanaimo a very attractive place to invest. Be aware, though, that if they do, it is not always the housing market but rather the commercial side of real estate they invest in. I shudder to think what would would happen to Nanaimo if we have the

same influx of people like Vancouver after Expo ’86. Do people forget that for years after Vancouver was unliveable and now it is unaffordable. The only
people benefiting from that scenario are the realtors. People who have made the Nanaimo region a retirement area will have to think twice about voting for
people who want the housing market to skyrocket. Higher prices mean higher taxes, something that retirees on fixed income don’t like. After Expo, people had to look outside of Vancouver to live and it has created a transportation debacle. Vancouverites and their neighbours in the Lower Mainland have been driving through a constant construction zone on Highway 1 for 10 years. If they are lucky, their grandchildren will be the first to drive the Lower Mainland without a construction zone, although not without traffic jams. Now for the positive note. A new hotel, that’s fantastic and more tourists is even better. Let’s create a positive atmosphere for these possible new visitors. After all, we want the economic benefits of tourism dollars spent in the community. However, we don’t want people coming and changing our infrastructure and lifestyle in a way that negatively impacts the community.
To the Editor,
Re: Hikers stumble on traps near Linley Valley, Oct. 10. The Association for the Protection of FurBearing Animals was informed of the growing concerns regarding trapping in the area of Nanaimo and are reaching out to council with an offer of free assistance. For many years, APFA has worked with municipalities to develop scientifically based coexistence strategies to prevent the cruel and unsuccessful trapping of beavers. From Cornwall, Ont., to Mission, B.C, we
have – at no cost – installed and taught city staffers to install flow devices to prevent flooding, infrastructure damage and other concerns presented by residents. Last week, APFA sent a letter to Nanaimo council outlining our beaver coexistence program and offering our services at no cost. We also hope that residents of Nanaimo and the surrounding areas will be wary of leg-hold and other body-gripping traps. We have recorded an annual increase in the number of
domestic animals caught or killed in these traps.

Snake Island area popular extreme diving location Most mines u From /1 Paul Tasker, maritime search and rescue coordinator with the Canadian Coast Guard Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Victoria, confirmed the men were “technical” or “extreme” divers
participating in a deep dive on the Snake Island wall to a planned depth of more than 60 metres. “It’s a pretty high-risk activity, that one,” Tasker said. “Diving, period, is high risk, but that’s pretty extreme stuff, 200 feet, and
they were down to 260, I think, was the maximum depth they ended up going.” Bob Simpson, a diver from Nanaimo, said he has dived the wall numerous times. “All three are advanced dives,”
Simpson said. “You have an absolutely beautiful wall of sea sponges and anemones. Down to 120 feet it is a beautiful dive.” Simpson said hundreds of dives are made on the wall each year. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

too deep to be an issue
u From /1 The cost hasn’t yet been determined. “We didn’t budget for this, so we are going to have to find the money,” Clift said. “But it won’t be that bad, basically we’d do fewer sewer projects this year then we [were] intending.” The Harbour City sits on top of a myriad of abandoned mine shafts, but it’s rare for holes to interfere with city construction projects. The majority of voids beneath downtown Nanaimo are too deep beneath the surface to be a worry, said Clift. It’s the top-end of mine shafts on slopes leading to the waterfront that are the most shallow and could collapse citymade trenches. The void city crews recently found is 1.5 to 2 metres below Pine Street and extends more than two storeys deep. The city’s public works department believes the hole is a result of the mine slowly caving in on itself. “The purpose in looking for these is really worker safety,” Clift said. “Some of these mines are quite deep and we need to make sure when we have a hole above a mine we aren’t so close … we collapse into it.” The city is contemplating filling the recently discovered hole with a concrete and soil mix. An official strategy – and its costs – is expected by the end of this week. Further drilling is continuing along Victoria Road. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Scientists predict warmer winters
I
lESS WatEr in summer as a result. By Jeff Nagel Black Press
Climate change will likely mean warmer, rainier winters in B.C. as well as reduced summer stream flows, a forum in Vancouver heard earlier this month as new international findings were released. Francis Zwiers, director of the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium and vicechairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change working group 1, said projections for B.C. point to further warming of 2.9 degrees in the winter and 2.4 degrees in the summer by 2100, under a moderate carbon emission scenario. Winter warming on that scale could translate into 17 to 51 more days per year of frost-free con-
ditions, he told the forum, in the wake of the already measured reduction of 24 annual frost days since 1900 and a 2.1-degree increase in the province’s winter temperatures. While a longer growing season might be a boon to gardeners and farmers, Zwiers noted warming winters have also allowed unwanted species like the mountain pine beetle to flourish and wreak havoc on Interior forests. “That’s an impact that has been linked to a changing climate,” Zwiers said. “You can just imagine there would be many other organisms that would find B.C. to be a much more hospitable place to live, even in a slightly warmer climate than we have at the moment, or a slightly wetter climate than we have at the moment.” The consortium’s researchers projected climate

changes in B.C. over the rest of this century using the same models as the climate panel. Winter warming would be greater in the northeast than other parts of the province, while summer warming projections are roughly uniform. Zwiers said the modeling shows winter, spring and fall precipitation will increase in B.C., with a 10-per cent increase in precipitation in winters expected and summers potentially getting wetter in the
north but drier in the south. Wetter, warmer winters could affect the province’s supply of water for drinking, farming, power generation and salmon migration. The panel’s new report reiterated that the planet is warming and people are the probable cause. But some observers criticized it for downgrading projected temperature increases due to a 15-year “pause” in average surface temperature rise. Zwiers maintained human influence is clear and action is urgently needed to both reduce emissions and adapt to expected “substantial” impacts. The report predicts Canada will face more warming than the global average, along with more frequent and more intense extreme weather events.

Why should I a�end? This is an opportunity for home owners, renters, and those who reside or conduct business in the RDN Electoral Areas to have their say on whether or not secondary suites should be allowed. Your input will help shape the future of secondary suites in the RDN. Regional District of Nanaimo staff contact: Greg Keller, Senior Planner

Uplands project breaks ground
I
SUPPoRtivE HoUSiNg gets underway. By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN
Nanaimo’s mayor is calling for public support on future homeless housing initiatives, as the $7.3- million Uplands project gets underway. Construction has officially started for Uplands Walk, a 33-unit supportive housing complex in north Nanaimo. Government officials broke ground on the once highly contentious project Wednesday during homeless action week. They say this build is an important step toward ending homelessness in the Harbour City, helping to provide people with shelter and support services needed to turn their lives around. The building, scheduled to be complete next August, will house people over the age of 45 who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. “When we started down this road ... there were a lot of challenges and people in the community had some concerns about what was going to happen,” said Ruttan during a groundbreaking ceremony. “I am so pleased to see what we are going to accomplish on this site will address the very needs we need to, because there is

Mayor John Ruttan speaks at a ground-breaking ceremony at the Uplands Drive supportive housing development Wednesday, while Michelle Stilwell, ParksvilleQualicum MLA, and Karyn French, executive director of Pacifica Housing, look on.
no more important ... people to help than those who can’t help themselves.” The Uplands supportive housing project was announced two years ago by the B.C. government as part of a $34-million strategy to permanently house Nanaimo’s homeless and mentally ill. The move sparked public backlash from concerned citizens, who not only took issue with a lack of public consultation about the site, but feared effects around reduce property values and potential crime. Nanaimo officials say they have seen people’s attitudes change as a result of seeing how other supportive housing projects operate. The mayor is now encouraging the public to get behind future housing initiatives necessary for the community. “I just find it a little bit difficult to under-
stand where the angst came in the first place,” Ruttan said. “I know people said they wouldn’t want supportive housing built beside [them]... but the locations are good and these are multi-million dollar builds, they are not some kind of little shack.” Coun. Fred Pattje, who attended the groundbreaking ceremony, said the decision for the site was made in camera and the city did not reach out to residents soon enough – a lesson they learned from. But looking back he is glad he remained steadfast on his support to have the site located in northNanaimo, despite the opposition. If he – or other council members – had buckled, the project might not have happened, Pattje said. “I can assure you I was not liked in the n e i g h b o u rh o o d , ”
he said. Site operators Pacifica Housing, members of the RCMP and Parksville-Qualicum MLA Michelle Stilwell also attended the event. Stilwell called the day “momentous.” “For those who will call this place home, these services are the building blocks to a more stable and independent life,” she said. news@nanaimobulletin.com

B.C. final kicks off I
V.I. RAIDERS host Langley Rams on Saturday (Oct. 19) at Caledonia Park. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN
Nanaimo Clippers player Mason Mitchell, middle, scores on Cowichan Valley Capitals goaltender Robin Gusse as the Caps’ Reilly O’Connor defends during the third period of Saturday’s game against the Cowichan Valley Capitals at Frank Crane Arena.
Clippers working on creating winning ‘template’ BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
The Nanaimo Clippers played the way they wanted to and they won that way. T h e c i t y ’s B . C . Hockey League club defeated the Cowichan Valley Capitals by a 3-0 score on Saturday at Frank Crane Arena. The win halted a four-game skid. “We worked hard, we were focused…” said Mike Vandekamp, Clippers coach. “I thought we stuck
with it better than we have in just about any game, so that was a really good sign.” Defenceman Colton Dahlen scored goals in the first and second periods for the Clippers, Mason Mitchell rounded out the scoring in the third and goalie Jayson Argue made 24 saves for the shutout. “We needed to get back to the basics,” Dahlen said. “Everyb o d y w a s re a l l y focused today and doing their jobs and working hard.”
Vandekamp said players were engaged and energetic and that allowed them to force their game plan and keep most of the action at the opponent’s end of the ice. “That’s how we want to play,” the coach said. “We want to be real aggressive with our forecheck and use our speed and our tenacity.” Vandekamp said the Clippers needed the win to give them some momentum before a busy stretch of games.
“You don’t always just learn from your failures and your mistakes, you’ve got to learn from your successes,” he said. “We put a pretty decent template out there … of how we want to play every night.” The day before, the Clippers were doubled up 4-2 by the Victoria Grizzlies down the Malahat. Bo Brauer and Sheldon Rempal scored for Nanaimo and Liam McLeod made 26 saves in defeat. Former Clippers for-
ward Gerry Fitzgerald did the damage for the Grizz with two goals including the game-winner midway through the third period. GAME ON … The Clippers hosted the Grizzlies on Wednesday after press time. They play the Alberni Valley Bulldogs Friday at 7 p.m. at Port Alberni’s Weyerhaeuser Arena, then return to Frank Crane Arena Saturday to host the Vernon Vipers at 7 p.m. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
There will be championship-calibre football at Caledonia Park this weekend. The V.I. Raiders take on the Langley Rams on Saturday (Oct. 19) for the Cullen Cup, the B.C. Football Conference’s top prize. The Raiders have won their last two games 71-0 and 63-7, so they’ll have to be ready for a different sort of football on Saturday. “The speed we’re playing right now and the intensity we’re playing right now is the best it’s been all season…” said Matthew (Snoop) Blokker, V.I. coach. “We’ve got to continue that … and be the best Raider team all year.” Nanaimo and Langley met three times this season, with the men in black winning twice. But both teams will remember that it was the Rams that came into Caledonia and captured the cup one year ago. Blokker said his team definitely thinks back to that loss and uses it as inspiration, to some extent. “That’s a good story to write about,” he said. “But when the first whistle blows, it’s new players, a new year, new strategy, new coaches, new everything.” Saturday’s victor gets to hoist the trophy, and also advances to the national semifinal in Ontario. So this weekend’s game is one last chance to cheer on the Raiders at Caledonia, one last chance to lend a voice to the V.I. cause. “We have to have a loud, crazy group and make sure it’s a home game for us,” Blokker said. GAME ON … The Raiders and Rams kick off Saturday at 1 p.m. at Caledonia Park. Tickets cost $15 or $12 for seniors and children and will be available at the gate or in advance at Palladian Developments or Elite Image. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

The V.I. Raiders reached the finals on the strength of a playoff mismatch. Nanaimo’s junior football team overwhelmed the Kamloops Broncos 63-7 on Saturday at Caledonia Park in the B.C. Football Conference semifinals. The Raiders led 42-0 at halftime and 63-7 after three quarters before the clock was sped up for a mercy-rule fourth quarter. “When you break it down, it was one of our better performances as a team…” said Matthew (Snoop) Blokker, Raiders coach. “We’re on this roll and we’re peaking at the right time
and we’re still getting better.” Raiders quarterbacks Jaeden Marwick and Jahmari Bennett shared playing time almost equally, with Bennett throwing three touchdown passes and Marwick throwing two. Marwick was 8-for-12 for 177 yards and Bennett was 4-for-5 for 52. Dustin Rodriguez scored two punt-return touchdowns in the first half, one from 55 yards and one from 63 yards. Whitman Tomusiak caught two TD passes, including a 35-yard reception, and Ashton Galloway had a 53-yard rushing TD and a short TD catch. Andrew Deleon scored a major on a 35-yard catch-andrun play and Alex Thompson got behind coverage to score a 57-yard touchdown reception. Nanaimo’s other TD was scored by Micheal Ritchott on
a 14-yard run play. Defensively for the Raiders, Jaxxen Wylie, Cole Bishop and Fabian Ross had interceptions, Ash Gayat had two sacks and Quinton Bowles also got to the quarterback. “Obviously it wasn’t really a competition out there…” said Tomusiak. “We just try to focus on our own thing. We have our plays and we execute them; it doesn’t matter who’s out there.” Bowles said his team felt the playoff switch turn on midway through the practice week. “We knew it was time to rock and roll, and that’s what we did, we rocked and rolled,” he said. “Our coaches are always reminding us, keep that intensity, keep it going, raise the level.” For more on the Raiders, please see page 19.
VIU volleyball goes for net gains Vancouver Island University’s volleyball teams got the better of Island Rivalry weekend. The VIU Mariners women’s team swept the Camosun Chargers and the men split with Camo in home-and-home matches Friday and Saturday. On Friday at the VIU gym, the M’s ladies got past the Victoria squad three sets to one, while the Mariners men lost in four sets. The next day’s road trip down the Malahat was successful for both VIU sides as the women won in straight sets and the men won a five-set match. The Mariners host the College of the Rockies Avalanche on Saturday (Oct. 19) and Sunday, with the women starting things off at 6 p.m. and 11 a.m., respectively.
Midget Redmen win again, ground Falcons 27-9 The Nanaimo Redmen built on their strong record with another convincing win on the weekend. The city’s Vancouver Mainland Football League midget team defeated the Coquitlam Falcons 27-9 on Sunday at Pioneer Park. Marcus Severe scored a touchdown on a fake field goal, catching a 20-yard pass from Jonah
Wassell. Ethan Schulz scored a short rushing TD and Chae Faickney also scored a major, rushing 10 yards on a guard-around play. Riley Savard had a 90-yard fumble recovery TD. Severe added an interception. The Redmen (5-1) visit the North Surrey Bears (5-2) this Sunday (Oct. 20).

Gaps identified in government oil spill study
I
rEport alSo details coastal tanker traffic.
By Tom FleTcher Black Press
The B.C. environment ministry has released its promised study of the current state of crude oil spill response capability, tracking the growing tonnage of petroleum shipping along the West Coast and estimating response time and effectiveness if oil was to spill at sea. Oil recovery in computer simulated oil spills could be as high as 25 per cent after five days, or as low as four per cent for Alaska crude, with another quarter evaporating. The study was commissioned to back up Premier Christy Clark’s conditions for B.C.’s approval of expanded heavy oil shipments, either from twinning the TransMountain pipeline from northern Alberta to Burnaby, or the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway project across northern B.C. to a new tanker port at Kitimat. Environment Minister Mary Polak said the study shows the need to increase response capability before the B.C. government would consider increased oil shipments. “While we respect federal jurisdiction over marine spills, we must ensure B.C.’s interests are being met, and that means adding more resources to protect our coast,” Polak said. The three-volume report also details the huge and growing traffic that exists now. Shipping data show a 17 per cent increase in marine traffic volume from 2011 to 2012.
An estimated 110 million cubic metres of petroleum products per year are shipped, about a third of which is crude-like bunker oil carried as fuel on ships of all kinds. The biggest tanker cargo is 38 million cubic metres of mostly Alaska crude a year. The study includes recovery estimates for seven oil spill scenarios, six of which assumed a spill of Alaska North Slope crude that has been shipped by tankers down the B.C. coast to U.S. refineries since the 1970s. Two scenarios involve an Alaska crude spill in Dixon Entrance, with four per cent recovery in summer and three per cent in winter. One scenario examines a summertime spill of diluted bitumen in the Juan de Fuca Strait, with response from Canadian and U.S. ships and oil recovery equipment. It estimated 31 per cent oil recovery after five days, in summer conditions with daylight-only operations. Diluted bitumen tanker shipments from Kinder Morgan Canada’s Burnaby terminal hit a high of 69 in 2010. The expansion would mean 300 tankers a year in and out of Vancouver harbour. The federal government has launched its own research project to model the drift and behaviour of a bitumen spill in the ocean around Kitimat, and funded marine weather forecasting to facilitate shipping in the area.

Nanaimo News Bulletin 29
Transportation critic sets out on fact-finding mission How does Washington State run its ferry system and are there efficiencies that can benefit the B.C. Ferry Corporation? Those are questions North Island MLA Claire Trevena will be looking into during her five-day fact-finding tour of the Washington State ferry system. “Ferry users in B.C. have faced years of steep rate hikes, and will soon face service cuts,” said Trevena, who serves as
the NDP’s transportation critic. “We need to look at this problem from every angle, and that includes looking at a ferry system that has maintained affordability for users.” Washington State operates the largest ferry system in the U.S., with 22 vessels and 20 terminals. Trevena acknowledged that the Washington State system and B.C. Ferries are different, but said a better understanding of what’s working south of the bor-
der could yield ideas to improve B.C.’s system. “The B.C. Liberals have done little to fix the problems they created since they quasi-privatized B.C. Ferries,” said Trevena. “The government just needs to amend the Coastal Ferries Act.” Since 2003, ferry fares have increased by 45 per cent on the major routes and 85 per cent on the minor ones. What’s worse, added Trevena, is the government will be looking at
cutting more sailings. “The upcoming cuts to ferry routes will not only impact the coastal communities that rely on them, but also the economy of our province, which depends on reliable transportation lines,” said Trevena. “The ferry system is an integral part of our infrastructure. We need to take action now to protect it.” Trevena left Monday on the five-day trip. – Black Press
FROM VAGABOND TO POWER SMART NEW HOME OWNER. ROB MICKELBERRY’S JOURNEY TO THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY After nearly a year travelling on a “rock star” bus from one end of North America to another, Rob Mickelberry, his wife and three children were ready to re-establish permanent roots back home in Victoria. “We bought a property while we were on the road,” says Rob, “then lived in the old house while we sub-divided the lot and built a new home that would be ours.” Because Rob wanted the home – completed in May 2013 – “for the long haul,” he was determined it would not cost a fortune to run.
Rob Mickelberry
By calling in certified energy advisors City Green Solutions early in the design process, Rob was able to build-in a number of refinements – including an air source heat pump, triple glazing, a heat recovery ventilation system and extra insulation – that resulted in the home achieving a remarkable EnerGuide 88 rating from Natural Resources Canada. That makes it, says Mike Young of City Green, “approximately 59 per cent more energy efficient than if this home had been built to BC Building Code standards.” It will also save Rob an estimated $1,500 to $1,800 a year on his energy bills. Icing on the cake: the high EnerGuide rating also qualified Rob for $2,000 in incentives from the BC Hydro Power Smart New Home Program, and he’s eligible for the ENERGY STAR® Package incentive of $150 per home for installing qualified energy-efficient lighting and appliances.

Pot reformers fell short of their sign-up target for the first third of their campaign to force a provincial referendum on marijuana enforcement. Sensible B.C. spokesman Dana Larsen said the campaign had 65,000 signatures as of Oct. 9 – 15,000 less than their aim of 80,000 by the 30-day mark of the 90-day petition drive. “We’re a little bit behind the target we set,” Larsen said, adding getting canvassers officially registered has proven more onerous than expected. But he remains confident the campaign can succeed in getting the signatures of 10 per cent of eligible voters in every B.C. district. That would take 300,000 signatures in total, but Larsen said the aim is for 450,000 or 15 per cent in each riding to provide a buffer against signatures
that are declared invalid. The campaign aims to pass legislation that would bar police from spending any time or resources enforcing the federal law against possessing small amounts of marijuana. Its goal is to use that as a starting point to work toward broader legalization. Defeat in any single district means the petition campaign fails. And even if it succeeds, a referendum is not automatic – the legislature could introduce the proposed Sensible Policing Act but not put it to a vote. If it was sent to another referendum it could be non-binding – the HST referendum after a successful Fight HST petition was binding only because Premier Gordon Campbell declared it so. Fight HST also had many more signatures at their 30-day mark – more than 300,000 – and eventually got 705,000. “They got a lot more than they actually needed,” Larsen said. “They could have done it with less.” Larsen said canvassers
have already got nearly enough signatures in Vancouver districts like the West End and along False Creek. Most Interior and Northern districts are also doing well, with about a third of the signatures gathered, and campaigns are running ahead of schedule in Nelson, Kelowna and Kamloops. Suburban ridings in Metro Vancouver, including Surrey and Coquitlam, have proven more challenging. “Surrey is a bit of an issue. It’s a lot of districts in one city and a lot of people that we need.” Canvassers from Vancouver will be sent to those areas as Vancouver ridings wrap up, Larsen said. So far, Sensible B.C. has 3,000 canvassers registered, up from 1,600 when it launched. Larsen expects the canvasser count will grow to 4,000 by the early December deadline, but that would be well short of Fight HST’s 6,500 canvassers. Petition locations are on the Sensible B.C. website at www.sensiblebc.ca. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

Platinum anniversary John McDermott celebrates 20 years in front of audiences around the world BY MELISSA FRYER THE NEWS BULLETIN
A
fter more than 20 years in front of audiences, performing never gets old for John McDermott. “It’s even more fun,” McDermott said. “We have more stories to tell.” McDermott performs at the Port Theatre on Sunday (Oct. 20) as part of his 20th anniversary tour. It was that long ago that the internationally recognized singer took the stage in Halifax for the first time with his own band. From there, he went on to record 25 albums and tour the world, earning fans throughout the globe with his engaging and intimate style. Part of the secret to his happiness performing is to constantly change the music and the set list for each show. “We change it up every night,” McDermott said. “We do something different every night.” It’s given him a unique relationship with his audience, which has become in some cases like old friends. The towns and cities he visited over the past 20 years he is returning to. He established such a loyal following in part because of his engagement with fans. When building a list of songs from his 25 albums for this tour, he asked his fans for their two favourite songs – he’s whittled his catalogue down to about 50 that he plays from. ◆ See ‘NEW’ /B5

Johnson following new path

BAND pLAyS with lee harvey Osmond.
By Melissa Fryer The News BulleTiN
It started out as a way to help rehabilitate his injured hand, but now Gordie Johnson’s newest band Sit Down, Servant is here to stay. The gospel-tinged, blues duo Johnson shares with Stephane Beaudin, drummer from Big Sugar, quickly recorded an album prior to a tour with George Thoroughgood last year. A Nanaimo show at the Queen’s was one of the first they played under the Sit Down, Servant moniker. “It has evolved a great deal since then,” Johnson said. “We’ve been playing constantly.” When the tour ended, Johnson headed back to his home in Texas and joined Beaudin in a house gig there. They started branching from the gospel theme and into more jazz standards, blues and even some hiphop. Heading out on tour with Joe Satriani earlier this year, that repertoire came to include everything from Bob Marley to the Police and even some old movie soundtracks.

23) with Lee Harvey Osmond at Nanaimo Entertainment Centre. “There’s a lot of gigs between now and then,” Johnson said. Johnson, who is probably best known for fronting the bluesreggae band Big Sugar and producing hits like Turn the Lights On and Nicotina, underwent surgery last year for carpal tunnel syndrome, a debilitating condition that affects the tendons in the wrists and is often caused by repetitive strain. After surger y to rehabilitate his hand, he picked up the steel guitar and started playing the familiar gospel songs. “It’s turned into a love affair with the steel guitar and it started out as a neces-
sity,” Johnson said. “I’m fascinated with the instrument from all perspectives.” His hand is healed, and had no symptoms during Big Sugar’s summer tour, or gigs with his other bands Grady and Wide Mouth Mason. Fans expect a certain sound from those projects, but Sit Down, Servant can go in completely different and varied directions. “With Sit Down, Servant, there really are no expectations,”
Johnson said. “It seems a little void of course – I’ll just hang on and go along for the ride.” The show features another great from Canadian rock – Lee Harvey Osmond is the latest project from Tom Wilson, from the band Junkhouse and Blackie and the Rodeo Kings. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at Arbutus Music. For more information, please call 250-618-7434. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

Label celebrating trio of releases
I
heRmiT’S muSic features timeless folk sounds.
The Hermit’s Music is set to release three albums by local musicians during an event to raise money for Nanaimo Community Hospice Society. The Language of Light, set for Saturday (Oct. 19) at Costin Hall in Lantzville, will see albums by Wind Weaver, called Discovering Eden, Cali Massey’s Honey Whistle, and Travelers, by Dave Kilbank and Paul Bezooyen. Kilbank is the current host of CHLY 101.7 FM’s Songwriters Circle radio show, while Bezooyen continues to develop The Hermit’s Music as a label, music publisher, and community of likeminded musicians. Both artists have issued solo releases and Bezooyen records and performs with Terry Mack as Wind Weaver, but Travelers marks the first collaborative project for the Nanaimo-based singersongwriters. Itdraws from a diverse range of influences including the Alan Parsons Project, Joni Mitchell, Acoustic Alchemy and New Age guitar masters William Ackerman and Michael Hedges. “We chose to call it Travelers partly because it’s about
journeying through life, navigating the obstacles and experiencing its joys and pitfalls,” Bezooyen said. A reflective, yet often joyous collection of contemporary folk songs, Travelers examines themse such as the relentless march of time via nostalgia and reminiscence; our humble individual and collective standing in the infinitesimal universe; the simple pleasures of life; and human fallibility.
“
It’s about journeying through life, navigating the obstacles.
“We’re from different backgrounds with different influences, but in taking those two elements we’ve come up with something fresh for both of us, something tangible to be shared with other people,” Bezooyen said. Recorded at The Hermit’s Music home studio in Nanaimo, Travelers is set to be the start of a fruitful partnership. Canada boasts a long and
proud tradition of excellent female singer-songwriters. Folk music in particular has proven to be a genre from which many key Canadian female artists have arisen, and on the strength of her debut release, Honey Whistle, Nanaimo’s Cali Massey could well be another. Massey will perform songs from Honey Whistle with Bezooyen during the hospice fundraiser. Having studied for four years at Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver, it comes as no surprise that Massey is also an accomplished painter. “Whenever I’m writing a song I see the ‘colours’ of the song, and I go with the feeling of those colours,” she said. Massey started playing music relatively late, at 27-years old, and after drifting in and out of music as life took her down various paths she eventually met Bezooyen. They clicked immediately. Bezooyen contributed arrangements and instrumentation to Honey Whistle. “It’s really important to me that music is a gift all the time, so whatever I’m writing about it has to be a shared thing,” Massey said.

New music on horizon for McDermott u From /1 “We know we’re going to be playing a lot of favourites,” he said. One surprise from that request came the popularity of his song Daughter of Mine, a melody about a father-daughter dance at a wedding. “I never thought it would have the appeal that it does,” McDermott said. Many of those favourites will also appear in a new box set of albums he is releasing as part of
the 20th anniversary. Included in that, though, are two new releases. McDermott said he completed another this week, and expects a more traditional album to be released in the spring. He might be celebrating 20 years of music history, but McDermott is looking ahead to 20 more. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets $47.50.

International Guitar Night returns to the Port Theatre, featuring a new slate of virtuoso guitarists. Concert series founder Brian Gore will be joined by Italy’s Pino Forastiere, with his classical, contemporary and rock background influencing his hard-to-define style. Forastiere slaps, taps, strums, and alters tunings and harmonics to create a unique sound. Mike Dawes, from England, takes influence from Celtic, rock, world and popular music. Quique Sinesi, from
Argentina, is a master of many South American melodies and rhythms on both guitar and charango. Gore founded International Guitar Night in 1995 as a forum for the world’s finest guitarists and composers to play their
latest original songs and share musical ideas with their peers in a public concert. International Guitar Night hits the Port Theatre Nov. 1 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $45; $40/members; $15/ students.

dIagNOsIs MeaNs family also affected.
When a Nanaimo resident receives
a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia, they are not the only ones who are affected. “Dementia can profoundly impact
the lives of those closest to the person, including caregivers, family members and friends,” said Jane Hope, regional support and education
coordinator for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. People who are caring for someone with dementia will experience the challenges associated
with the disease in their own unique way. “It is important to recognize that there are many different approaches to supporting someone
with dementia, and caregivers often need to explore a variety of techniques and strategies to determine what works best for them.” TELUS STORE OR AUTHORIZED DEALER

About one in 11 Canadians over age 65 already live with dementia. The diagnosis triggers a flood of emotions, said Hope, including fear, anger, sadness, embarrassment and disbelief. At the same time, it may also provide a sense of relief, as it offers an explanation for the symptoms people experience. “There is no right or wrong way to feel,” she said. “Everyone is unique in how they will perceive their disease and the challenges it brings to their life. What is important to understand is that the changes you are seeing in yourself are due to the disease. They are not your fault.” To help area residents who are dealing with the impact of dementia, the society runs a free local support and information group. It serves as a forum for sharing practical tips and strategies for coping with the disease. The group helps create support and friendship with others whose lives are affected by dementia. For more information, please call Hope at 250734-4170 or e-mail jhope@alzheimerbc. org. For more information on Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, please visit www.alzheimerbc.org.

for volunteers to knit or crochet blankets for groups such as the 7-10 Club, Nanaimo Women’s Centre, Clearview Centre, Loaves and Fishes community food bank, Salvation Army and St. Vincent de Paul Christmas hamper program. Volunteers knit or crochet 20 cm squares and 48 of these are sewn or crocheted together into a colourful blanket. For those who can’t knit or crochet, the organization also accepts donations of acrylic yarn. Blankets for Canada was established in Alberta in 1998 and became a registered charity in 1999. There are chapters all across Canada with hundreds of volunteers of all ages,
from school children to seniors. The Nanaimo chapter was set up by Karien Bahlmann in June 2002 after she saw Michaels Arts and Crafts Store advertising for squares for a campaign they were running. Since then, volunteers have been recruited to make squares, assemble blankets and deliver them. To help, or for more information, please visit Michaels Arts and Crafts store, 6677 Mary Ellen Dr., on Oct. 27, 1-3 p.m. Squares, finished blankets or yarn can be dropped off at the Michaels store or at Volunteer Nanaimo at any time of year. To make a donation of yarn or finished blankets, please call 250-758-5363.

Geography students contributing to Island communities
I
vaNCOUver IslaNd University sees real-world experience gained in urban planning process.
By Marilyn assaf
Geography students at Vancouver Island University are helping to shape the future of B.C. communities. Students in Pam Shaw’s geography classes are engaged in a study designed to revitalize an important historical neighbourhood in Campbell River. Shaw’s students have also assisted the City of Nanaimo with the Harewood Neighbourhood Plan project, and helped craft Official Community Plans for the town of Bamfield and Toquaht First Nation, a small community near Ucluelet. “There are huge benefits for university students who have the opportunity to work on real-life applied projects with local governments, consultants, residents and First Nations groups,” said Shaw. “They gain first-hand experience
in community based planning research, and engage with the public in meaningful ways. “It’s exciting to see students apply what they’ve learned in the classroom. The skills and lessons they learn will stay with them throughout their lifetime, and increase their employability.” As part of their course work, Shaw’s current group of geography students are working on a study with the City of Campbell River and the newly formed Campbellton Neighbourhood Association to examine the social, economic, environmental and infrastructure factors affecting that neighbourhood. The study will address specific issues and propose solutions that could lead to social/economic revitalization of the Campbellton area. In coming

weeks, Shaw’s students will go door-todoor to gather feedback from residents and business owners about things to change or preserve in the neighbourhood. Shaw was contacted by Ross Blackwell, Land Use Services Manager for the City of Campbell River to assist with the study after he heard about the success of her students’ work for other B.C. communities. One of those projects involved devel-
oping an OCP for Bamfield. Working with the Alberni Clayoquot Regional District, students in three of Shaw’s geography classes helped create and implement a communications and consultation plan, met with residents in Bamfield, facilitated community meetings to gather input, and helped write a draft OCP. Now adopted by the regional district, the plan is shaping future land development. It designates
future growth and no-growth areas in Bamfield and incorporates objectives and policies for both the protection of existing features and rehabilitation of areas impacted by previous development. Based on the success of that project, Shaw and her students were invited to develop a similar plan for Toquaht First Nation. “It was an interesting request because Toquaht First Nation was one of five
Nations that recently finalized their treaty process,” says Shaw. “They now have the rights and responsibilities to make their own decisions on land use, environmental protection, services and housing.” Communities reap tremendous benefits by partnering with the university on planning projects, said Shaw. “They end up with an excellent product prepared by 60 brilliant minds under the guidance of VIU fac-
ulty and professionals in the field for an extremely reasonable cost,” said Shaw. “The level of detail we achieved [in our reports] would not be possible for a staff team or small consulting company.” Organizations or communities interested in working with VIU on a community engagement initiative are encouraged to e-mail Robin June Hood at Robin.

Young professionals boost volunteer time in community Eight volunteers from Young Professionals of Nanaimo worked on the Habitat for Humanity Mid-Vancouver Island duplex on Prideaux Street in Nanaimo. The group helped do a variety of much needed tasks around the home as it continues to get closer to completion. Volunteering building hours is a huge aspect of any Habitat for Humanity project and this is the fifth group that has contributed to the duplex this year.
“We were very excited to have the YPN come and work on our home,” said Teresa Pring, executive director of Habitat. “We are very thankful to their group for spending a day at the build site. It is really inspiring to see young people in our community get involved in a worthwhile project that makes a difference in families lives in our community.” The volunteer hours with Habitat is part of the YPN’s new initiative – Volunteer 5,000 – where members of the YPN will donate 5,000 hours of volunteer time to projects across Nanaimo between

The ‘roots’ of the original AdrenaSense Formula
Throughout my life I had good health and boundless energy and then suddenly in my early 30’s I hit the wall with fatigue… I had three children under the age of 3, my marriage broke up, and I went back to work thinking I could ‘do it all’. My body did not agree… nothing helped the crippling fatigue until I saw a naturopathic doctor who introduced me to my adrenal glands. When I started naturopathic practice in the 1980’s it was my own experience with adrenal fatigue that allowed me to recognize it in my patients and over the years I saw the need for an effective adrenal supplement. AdrenaSense® is the original solution I formulated for patients and others who have found it very effective.
The Original AdrenaSense Formula:
The herbs in the AdrenaSense formula are called adaptogens that have been proven to support stress reactions and normalize adrenal function. These include Rhodiola, Suma, Schizandra Berries, Siberian Ginseng and Ashwagandha, which in combination, enhance mental and physical performance; balance the nervous system helping with anxiety and insomnia; support the immune, cardiovascular and hormonal systems; counteract fatigue, anxiety and depression; as well as provide vital energy.

Beefs & bouquets BOUQUET To the woman who found my daughter’s hoodie in the parking lot at Beban Park after the CIBC Run for the Cure. Thank you for taking the time to find her name and number inside the jacket, take it into the office at Beban Pool and call to let us know it was found. BEEF to the drivers who do not stop at the crosswalk at Dover and Applecross Road BOUQUET To Sharon and Ruby for tidying up my house after being painted while I was gone. Thanks for the flowers and tablecloth. BEEF To the worker who collects the green bin compost materials on Kentucky Place in Cinnabar Valley. I watched you pick the green bin up from where it was holding down the empty yellow bags, dump it in your truck, and then thoughtlessly leave the bin on the sidewalk, a foot away from the empty bags, allowing them to start blowing down the street. BOUQUET To the ladies at the Edge hair salon for making me feel gorgeous while getting my pre-chemotherapy head shave. They made me smile and then refused to let me pay. BEEF It is really sad how destructive humans are by wanting to set traps to get rid of beavers at Linley Valley. They are not a nuisance – people are. BOUQUET To the Colliery Dam Preservation Society for its efforts to honour Harewood trustees. It was their dream. BOUQUET To Dusenbury Automotive and especially Steve for the exceptionally kind way he treated customers by providing extra service beyond that needed and without charge. BOUQUET To Allison and Jo-Lynn for the great service at Jysk in Nanaimo. You went beyond customer service to help a senior with a mattress problem.

BOUQUET To Robert for finding my purse at Quality Foods and turning it in.
BOUQUET To Laura, very nice lady at WalMart in the women’s clothing department for her kindness and help. Very appreciated from her customer.
BOUQUET To Diane Bestwick and Claudia Gray at Lone Pine Contractors who have kept the beach at Swy-a-lana Lagoon so pristine. Thank you to council and harbour managers for employing them. BOUQUET To the kind people of Nanaimo. I travel most places by HandyDart. I’m very grateful for the service, but often have long waits before being picked up, so I’m grateful to anyone who chooses to sit and talk with me. BOUQUET To Amy and Steve whom I met at Costco. I was using one of the store scooters but they would not let me take it out to my car. These wonderful people put my things in the car for me and I was able to give the scooter to their father. Such kindness is so wonderful these days.
GREAT FOOD • GREAT QUALITY • GREAT PRICES
BOUQUET to Ana at Central Drug Post office. She was so kind in replacing a broken mug that came in a parcel she accidently dropped. She ordered me another exact kind of mug along with a card and gift certificate which was way too kind. BOUQUET To Landon of Lassman Floors and installer Dan for their superior service and thoughtfulness. BOUQUET To Jeff and Mary-Anne, two amazing Samaritans who answered my cries for help when I fell and injured my back in my yard in Diver Lake. You have restored my faith in humanity and I cannot thank you enough for being there for me. You kept me calm and got me the help that I needed when I needed it. BOUQUET To the thoughtful city worker who collects the recycle materials on Kentucky Place in Cinnabar Valley. You emptied the
BOUQUET To the young couple and another young man who all stopped on Old Victoria Road to help an injured seagull. Everyone worked as a team and he was taken to a local vet who waited for him to arrive even though it was almost closing time. Warmed my heart. BOUQUET To the person or persons who made the orca whale face from the natural rock formation on the right hand side heading south out of downtown Nanaimo. It makes me smile every time I see it. BOUQUET To wives. They have eyes which are as sharp as those of eagles, and they can find needles in haystacks. BOUQUET To GT Hiring Solutions at Brooks Landing. I recently moved to Nanaimo semi-retired, looking for a part-time job. GT not only supported, encouraged and included me in the community, they also reflect friendliness and welcoming spirit.
