Brian Riddel, Pacific Salmon Foundation president and CEO, announced Friday the Pacific Salmon Commission is granting $5 million for the Salish Sea Marine Survival Project to help study chinook and coho salmon production in the Georgia Strait.
Grant boosts Salish Sea research project By KaRl yu ThE NEwS BULLETiN
A joint research project aimed at studying salmon mortality numbers in the Salish Sea will get a large cash injection in the form of a $5 million grant. The Pacific Salmon Commission will provide funding to Vancouver-based Pacific Salmon Foundation and Seattlebased Long Live the Kings for their Salish Sea Marine Survival Project. The money will be divvied up evenly between the two over the next five years, with $1.8 million granted for early 2014 and $800,000 annually for the
subsequent four years. Brian Riddell, president and CEO of the Pacific Salmon Foundation, said from his organization’s perspective, the project targets three things. “No. 1 is really trying to understand what’s annually determining the production of salmon in the Strait of Georgia,” Riddell said. “If you’ve been here for awhile, you know that the chinook and coho production is way down and sockeye and pink are all over the place, quite variable in that and there’s something going on, very local, that we really don’t understand yet.”
Other goals of the project are recovery of local chinook and coho populations, and restoration of fishing for economic and recreational purposes. Salmon numbers have been on the decline despite a resurgence in coho and chinook in 2013. Research still needs to be done to understand why. “What we do know is that from all the various pieces put together, it very much looks like the highest mortality rates occur in the first four to six weeks when they go to sea and that’s the critical period we need to understand,” Riddell said. u See ‘RESEARCH’ /6
The Harbour City’s network of underground coal mines could be slowly collapsing, according to Nanaimo city staff members. Nanaimo work crews discovered a two-storey deep coal mine cave-in beneath the surface of Pine Street during preparation work for a sewer and water line replacement two weeks ago. They have temporarily closed the street because of the threat of a sinkhole and are investigating options to fill the void without hurting the stability of the mine in other areas. According to city staff, this is not the first time the City of Nanaimo has come across a collapsed 19th century mine, but it is more extensive. Around 2006, city crews filled a small hole with cement that had broken through the surface after a collapse in the same area. Susan Clift, the city’s director of engineering and public works, says the municipality believes a lot of the century-
old mines are starting to disintegrate, leaving voids beneath the surface. While most of the mines are on private property, it becomes a concern for the City of Nanaimo when tunnels are shallow and holes open close to the surface in public areas, she said. Caverns only a few metres beneath the surface have the potential to create sinkholes. Old coal company maps and residents’ accounts of mining activity allows city workers to keep track of mines that need to be monitored. Road maintenance crews check for signs of sinkholes, like hairline fractures and holes on road surfaces close to known mines, and city officials require drilling to ensure there are no collapsed mines near infrastructure work. But the information is limited about the state of the mines beneath the surface and remediation is expensive, prompting the City of Nanaimo to only take action on problems it can see. With an anticipation there could be other mine collapses in the future, there are also questions about whether the province should start to bear the cost for helping to repair coal holes. u See ‘RESIDENTS’ /7

Mounties nab suspect with drug cache Mounties have arrested a Nanaimo man for assault and found a cache of marijuana, cocaine, heroin and other drugs. Kevin Michael Wiebe, 31, of no fixed address, was arrested by plain clothes officers Wednesday when he was spotted allegedly participating in a drug transaction near a parked vehicle on Finlayson Street. Wiebe was arrested with the man sitting at the wheel of the vehicle. A search of the vehicle turned up a machete, allegedly belonging to Wiebe. Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman, said in an e-mail to the News Bulletin, Wiebe was at one point in the car, the machete was found near where he had been sitting and an assault allegedly involving Wiebe had taken place moments prior to his arrest. When investigators searched Wiebe they found 44 grams of marijuana, 25 grams of powder cocaine, about 14 grams of heroin and 12 grams of crack cocaine. Wiebe was also arrested for an alleged robbery of an individual that happened earlier in the week. Wiebe appeared at Nanaimo provincial court Thursday to face charges of one count of assault, uttering threats, possession of marijuana, possession for the purpose of trafficking and possession of a weapon.

Trades training promoted to students I
UNIVErSITy hoSTED campuswide open house. By Karl yu The News BulleTiN
With a shortage of skilled tradespeople being trumpeted by many, going the trades route might be a better way for high school graduates, says the head of an initiative to promote trades in B.C. A lack of skilled people to fill positions was highlighted recently when the B.C. Construction Association announced it was going to Ireland, seeking to hire 600 workers, pointing to what many call the skills gap – a lack of skills or types of workers. Carole MacFarlane, a former career programs coordinator for the Vancouver School Board, who has been working on the Discover Trades B.C. Initiative, said the skills gap has been widening for several years and demographics is one of the reasons. “We don’t have enough people to fill the jobs that are available and the upskilling of jobs means that there are a lot of people that could work if they had the skills, but are not employable until they get

the skills so that’s causing the gap to get wider and wider,” she said. “Some of the industries can’t find enough people so they’re going outside [Canada] to interview and hire people from overseas in order to fill the skills gap.” MacFarlane, who was speaking during a panel on trades training at Vancouver Island University’s
open house Friday, said she isn’t suggesting that every student moving on to post-secondary education should enrol in the trades, but they should be aware of the options because of the opportunities that will allow for gainful employment and self-fulfilling work. This isn’t lost on students. Guy Ellis, dean
of trades and applied technology at Vancouver Island University, says currently, for the foundationtype of programs offered in a number of the trades, there are about 1,800 applications for 330 seats and the number of people applying for trades programs have increased. “Our applications are up 25 per cent, we’ll say over
the last three years, but we’re only funded for so many seats and there’s a bit of a bottleneck growing with the greater demand than we’re able to supply,” Ellis said. K y l a n B e z a i re , a n apprentice electrician at Vancouver Island University, thought he was going to become a historian coming out of high school and he wasn’t considering trades. Nevertheless he is enjoying the path he has taken. “I like the fact that it’s very hands-on and you also have to use your brain and you have to have a brain in order to do this,” Bezaire said. “It clips along at a good pace … but it keeps you busy and it’s a very in demand trade as well, so there’s a lot of work around for it.” Ellis said that students are exploring potential careers when taking academic types of courses. Trades are geared for people who have set career goals. “If they’ve already got something figured out, then the trades or technical careers – if that’s what they’re interested in, because they like building things, or fixing things – that makes it a natural for them,” said Ellis. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com
Ten residents displaced in fire in Departure Bay neighbourhood By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
A fire in Departure Bay on the weekend sent four people to hospital, displaced 10 residents and shut down three businesses. The blaze broke out in a commercial and residential building at the corner of Departure Bay Road and Wingrove Street shortly before 8:45 a.m. Saturday. Ten people living in apartments on the second floor of the building were evacuated and are currently displaced from their homes. Most of the tenants evacuated with just the clothes on their
backs. Four people suffered smoke inhalation when they went back into the building to try and recover personal items. “We’re trying to remind people, once you’re out, stay out and don’t try to go back in to retrieve personal items,” said Karen Lindsay, Nanaimo Emergency Services coordinator, who was on the scene. Seven of the apartment tenants were provided with one overnight’s stay at a hotel through the city’s emergency assistance program. “They had nothing,” Lindsay said. “They basically had the
clothes on their back. They had no wallets. They basically went out and what they were wearing is what they had.” Lindsay said all but one of the businesses was insured. “There were two business owners affected in addition to Amrikko’s [restaurant],” Lindsay said. “I don’t know how long they will be out of business, but they won’t be able to operate in their location at this point in time.” Crews were on scene for several hours rooting out hot spots in the structure. “It was a stubborn fire and crews were there for several hours,”
Lindsay said. “I don’t know the extent of the damage, but there was definitely some smoke damage and possibly some structural damage.” Investigators worked the site over the weekend to determine the cause of the fire and were going back to the scene Monday to carry out an electrical inspection, but there has been no official determination of the cause. “I’m just waiting for an electrical inspector to get a hold of me and we can arrange a meeting down there,” said Rick Kwasnecha, fire prevention officer. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

It is being built to meet new Island Health guidelines, which require the municipality to take more stringent measures before 2015 to prevent waterborne illnesses. Currently the water has the ‘potential’ to be unsafe during times of high turbidity. New membrane technology is expected to add a barrier to water that will filter out any pathogens.

Nanaimo city officials are working to cut back one of the municipality’s costliest infrastructure projects as it runs $1 million over budget. The City of Nanaimo is less than a quarter of the way through construction of its new water treatment plant and facing the need to dip into its $2-million contingency fund thanks to an ‘unforeseen’ switch to provincial sales tax. City staff members say British Columbia’s transition from harmonized sales tax back to PST put the project $1 million over budget. They are now working with general contractor, Kenaidan Contracting, for elements of the project they can cut temporarily. Work on the new water treat-
the budget over-run. “We are being careful about what the budget is right now,” Sims said. The city has already agreed to put construction of the site’s new maintenance and storage shed on hold. “We felt it was necessary for the operation, but do we need it to treat water? Not really,” Sims said. “We can live without it for awhile. Foundation for the new water treatment plant will be laid this January and the plant is set to open before the end of 2014. With construction on track, Susan Clift, director of engineering and public works, said the city staff members are now turning their attention to the next big challenge: figuring out how to best operate the new plant. City officials will travel to Kamloops and Abbotsford within the next four weeks to look at how similar facilities are operated and staffed. †

ment enlisted 1,000 militia members in August 1913 in an effort to quell the riots. “When the militia came in, they arrested a whole bunch of strikers,” Bowen said. “One man was killed, a lot of the [buildings on the surface] at Extension were burned. The manager’s house was burned and martial law took over for the next year.” Two things led to the dissipation of the miners’ strike, according to Bowen. One was the advent of the First World War and the second was due to the organization that played a role in the strike in the first place. “The United Mine Workers of America [had] two big strikes going on in the States; in Colorado and in Pennsylvania in Ludlow. The UMWA tells the people up here, ‘We can’t give you strike pay anymore,’” said Bowen. The militia members were called away to join the war effort and striking miners were blacklisted, with many forced to seek their fortunes in Alberta. Just like the others, the strike from 1913 eventually fizzled out but left an impression. “It’s a pivotal point as far as unions and coal miners are concerned on the Island and there are still academic papers being written about it,” Bowen said. “A lot of people feel very strongly that this is where labour got militant. More people feel strongly that it was a class war, so I guess that’s why it still seems important.”
u From /1 A representative for the B.C. Ministry of Energy and Mines told the News Bulletin abandoned shafts are covered by the Mine Act, but did not elaborate before press time on if or when the province takes responsibility for remediation. “As we move forward with the mines, we have to deal with them ... there is not a plan to really deal with them now,” said Stephen Ricketts, the city’s construction manager. “It could be a provincial issue.” The Harbour City is built on top of a honeycomb of coal mines that have a history of collapsing. Nanaimo resident Pendry Harris, 90, grew up in Nanaimo during the 1930s when a lot of the mines were starting to be decommissioned and recalls his father being ordered to tear down six of his stores on Nicol Street and Victoria Road because a mine had crumbled beneath them. A mine beneath Wharf Street also collapsed, causing the street to cave right in, he said. “No one paid much attention because everybody in those days were coal miners, you know ... it was just one of those things,” Harris said. “[Mines] were close to the surface, so they’d collapse.” Residents, like Harris, who have witnessed the early closure and collapse of some mines have been key in helping the City of Nanaimo document the potential state of coal mines. They’ve said, for example, that people went into the mines after they were decommissioned to rob pillars of coal – likely contributing to instability and collapse over time, Ricketts said. The challenge is “we don’t really know what happened to the mines since then ... the mines could have collapsed [years ago],” he said. “Because it’s underground and none of it’s accessible, we can only deal with the things we find as we do investigations.” A drilling exercise along Victoria Road and Pine Street earlier this month showed a shallow mine collapsed a couple of metres beneath the surface, creating an eightmetre deep void. City officials are now looking at the best approach to address it, but Ricketts said it will not be as simple as filling the ‘room’ with dirt. With the mine stretching down to the waterfront, the city has to be careful not to hurt the stability of the mine further down the hill, he said. “We have a geotechnical engineer looking at it and we are formulating a game plan,” Ricketts said. “We’ve reached a point where we need to do something before we put heavy traffic and any sort of vehicle traffic over the road. It’s not thin ice, but we are being precautious.” As for the rest of the city’s mines, Ricketts said municipal workers will continue to be careful and monitor the situation.

DELIVERED FROM DUNCAN
ith Nanaimo’s histor y steeped in coal mining, the 1913 miners’ strike stands out as a significant event. Mining in the area began in the 1850s and up until 1912, there had been a number of attempts to form a miners’ union, according to Nanaimo-based historian Lynne Bowen. Strikes that were initiated by different organizations between the 1870s and 1890s fizzled out, but the seeds for the 1913 strike were sown two years earlier. “The United Mine Workers of America, who had never been involved before, were getting to be very strong in the States and they came in here in 1911 and started to organize – I’m not absolutely clear whether it was all secret or not. I think people were feeling that the time [to strike] had come and they were prepared to come out,” Bowen said, adding that actual figures from newspapers of the time point to numerous workers signing up with the union. The United Mine Workers of America promised strike pay if workers picketed. That, combined with a number of safety issues in the fall of 1912,
prompted the strike. Mines were filled with methane and committees would check for the gas. While a number of these gas committees would report this to employers, management wouldn’t always take it seriously. “One of the men on the [Extension mine] gas committee got fired and he went up to Cumberland, B.C., got a job till they found out his name was on the blacklist, so he got fired and at that point the miners in Cumberland decided to have a ‘holiday,’ which is euphemism for, ‘We’re not going to work for a day,’” Bowen said. Management locked out workers and that was the spark that ignited the strike as workers at Nanaimo, Jingle Pot and virtually all the coal mines on the Island eventually followed suit. By the summer of 1913, all miners were on strike but despite this, work was still being done with the use of scab labour. Special police – who walked the streets pushing people around – were hired by the provincial government at the behest of mayors of various towns to protect the replacement workers, leading to tension. “The summer of 1913 was very hot and people’s tempers were short and everybody that was involved with the mines was living on very little money and the riots started,” Bowen said. “It started in Cumberland and Nanaimo and then Extension and eventually into South Wellington and Ladysmith.” In response, the provincial govern-

CANADIAN COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER AWARD 2012
EDITORIAL
Citizens need price relief The federal government brought down its Speech from the Throne on Wednesday, and advance reports suggested it would focus on the best interests of Canadian consumers. This is clearly designed with the 2015 federal election in mind, but it is a muchneeded focus all the same. Canadians pay far too much for basic items, and given that most of them are not getting much in the way of wage increases, it’s getting harder and harder to pay the bills. While the federal government can’t single-handedly force businesses to lower prices, it can open up sectors to more competition in several key areas under its control. These include the telephone, cable television, Internet and credit card industries. Lack of competition means that Canadians pay very high prices for cellphone service, particularly for extras like roaming charges and data plans. The big three companies control almost all of the market and have shown little willingness to lower prices. On the cable television front, consumers are forced to pay extra for channels they don’t watch, and also often pay expensive bundled charges for cable and Internet service. In these two areas alone, consumers are forced to pay out more every year, leading to an erosion of their ability to buy other goods and services. Banks charge businesses excessive fees for the ability to accept payment by credit card. This adds to retail prices. The federal government also needs to look into whether marketing boards benefit consumers. The main effect of such boards is to double prices for goods like milk and cheese, as compared to the United States. The federal government can also look in its own back yard when it comes to reducing costs to consumers. It can stop levying GST on other taxes, as it does with fuel. Tax should be paid on goods or services, not on other taxes.

Over the past decade, about 150 million hectares of farmland in the region – an area about the size of Saskatchewan – have been planted with soybean and corn genetically modified to tolerate herbicides, known as “Roundup Ready” crops. Instead of tilling fields, farmers spray herbicides that kill all plants but the crop. This has wiped out much of the milkweed. With a decline of monarchs in Mexico and pervasive threats during migration, it wasn’t entirely surprising that they arrived in Canada six weeks later than normal this summer in unprecedented low numbers. Point Pelee National Park in Leamington, Ont., even cancelled its annual monarch count because of lack of butterflies. While the future of the monarch looks bleak, we can all help ensure its survival. At home you can create a butterfly garden to provide habitat and food for monarchs and other pollinators. Plant milkweed and nectar-producing native flowers, like wild bergamot, New England aster and black-eyed Susans – especially ones with yellow, pink, orange and purple flowers. So, while the monarchs have already begun their journey south, I encourage you to start preparing for next year’s butterflies. Head to your local nursery and get your milkweed on.

Spend money on education To the Editor,
Re: Planning process underway for new seconday school, Oct. 15 Reading that the school board is planning to build a gym or a trades building makes me want to throttle someone. University is for higher education. Get an internship for trades and go jog in the park to get healthy. The school board never seems to want to spend money on academic or artistic venues for the students. If there is money for new structures within our
school district, what about classrooms for our special needs students, with trained teachers and staff? Currently, our special needs students have been integrated into public school classrooms, and while this works sometimes, sometimes it does not. It isn't fair to the teachers, the majority of the class or the special needs child. Wouldn't it be a good idea to give the parents and the teachers another option? An option that doesn't cost the parents an arm and a leg?
This is just one of the huge gaping needs that our district has. It makes me really upset that in the wake of school closures, program cutbacks, decreased maintenance and layoffs that the school board is going to take such a large sum to build a gym. Considering dropout rates, let's work on getting our children more engaged in the wonders of learning. This means more focus on artistic and academic venues on a district-wide level.

Small fractions changing climate To the Editor,
Re: CO2 a tiny part of environment, Letters, Oct. 10. It is exactly the point that although carbon dioxide is only a small fraction of the atmoshere (.036 per cent to be exact) that very small changes in this distribution have profound effects on our climate. At 360 parts per million, a change to 400 parts per million is a change of 11 per cent. If we had a change of 11 per cent in the oxygen levels,
would that make a difference? If we got an 11 per cent raise in our wages, would that make a difference? Of course it would. The sad part is that the only thing mankind produces on a large scale due to industrialization and the automobile is carbon dioxide. I am not a tree hugger, but I believe that global warming is real. Unfortunately money talks and the fossil fuel business is big money.

Re: Survey looks at strength of tech sector, Oct. 1. Well, with a few weeks to Halloween, it was no trick or treat that $18,000 of taxpayers’ money got, yet again, spirited away, this time by Nanaimo’s Economic Development Corporation and Innovation Island, all just for this so-called technical survey. Oh wait, you have to have a technical-based economy in the first place – which we very obviously do not have – to do a tech survey. Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation is not only yet again wasting taxpayers’ money, but also, overall, it just does not work.

Small changes in carbon dioxide distribution have a profound effect on climate, says letter writer.
Park, there is a beaver deceiver which controls the water flow there and, thus maintains the integrity of the park.. In view of the fact that the Association for the Protection of Fur-Bearing Animals has volunteered its services to outline a beaver coexistence program which teaches city staffers to install flow devices to prevent flooding and infrastructure damage, etc., I implore the City of Nanaimo to take up the offer. We too can enjoy our beavers instead of living with memories of dead beavers.

Re: Taking away senior citizens’ rec passes is insulting, Letters, Oct. 15. As an 80-plus former healthcare professional, I too was surprised at the really stupid decision to consider dropping over-80 free rec passes. The healthcare costs of seniors will likely double and hospitals will be crowded with seniors suffering from a variety of ills. It was the single best program implemented – exercise and social interaction costs nothing and keeps our seniors well and out of hospital. One hopes common sense prevails and those free passes are retained.

Witness helps nab alleged bike Witness thief helps nab alleged bike thief

SuSpEct caught with stolen bike near Townsite Road. by Chris bush The News bulleTiN
Nanaimo Mounties cycled a chronic bike thief into the justice system after a man saw a suspect steal a bike from an apartment building early Wednesday. The caller, who lives in an apartment at 220 Townsite Rd., called 911 just before 4:30 a.m. after seeing two men approach his building’s parking lot. The witness then saw one man jump the fence, snap the lock off of an outside bicycle locker and walk off with a bike. Police nabbed the alleged thief with the bike a few minutes later, but his accomplice is still on the loose. Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman, said the 22-year-old male arrested is well known to police. “He’s been involved in the
procurement of bikes for some time, so we weren’t surprised when he was the one captured with the stolen bicycle, “ O’Brien said. “What’s good about this is the witness also called from a safe vantage point and provided us with updated information so our members got there and they knew exactly what they were looking for.” O’Brien said at least 12 bikes representing a total value of $25,000 to $50,000 are being stolen in Nanaimo each week. The bikes are being disassembled and sold for parts or being re-built into custom bikes for specific buyers. “There’s a handful of guys who are involved in this industry,” O’Brien said. “One or two are involved in the distribution of bikes for drugs. The others ones are for parts.” Police recently found 16 stolen bikes at a drug bust in Departure Bay.

Muse, a production from In Other Words Theatre, uses video to help tell its story. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
Technology takes viewer into character’s imagination

THEATRE COMPANY utilizes video in production of Muse. BY BETH HENDRY-YIM THE NEWS BULLETIN
A
new theatre experience is transforming Nanaimo’s Centre Stage. With innovative new video mapping, an interactive performance and social media, Barbra French, artistic director of In Other Words Theatre, takes the audience inside a character’s imagination.
She said the debut production of Muse, the story of Grace, an institutionalized and musically gifted young woman, is a visually stunning and rich experience. With video displayed across three different surfaces on Nanaimo’s Centre Stage, projection technology creates a multidimensional set with several layers of storytelling possibilities. “The technology allows the audience to become a witness and participant,” French said. “While the character, Grace, is being visited by doctors, nurses and friends, the audience sees inside her mind

It’s a visually rich experience.” Pushing the boundaries of conventional theatre, French asks the audience to become intimately involved in the performance, helping to create parts of the play and co-write a song. “It’s mesmerizing,” she said. “And tells a beautiful story of how we define a fulfilled life.” Finding new ways of telling stories is what the theatre company prides itself for and what better way of adding to the story then through social media.

gRAnT lAwRence gives reading from new book Oct. 29.
Author Grant Lawrence will be sharing stories from his new book, The Lonely End of the Rink: Confessions of a Reluctant Goalie, and showing a short film and slideshow at the Harbourfront library. In addition to being a CBC host, an indie-rock alumnus and the award-winning author of the bestselling book, Adventures in Solitude, Lawrence has another claim to fame: as a baby, he spent part of a plane ride on Bobby Orr’s lap. Grant, his parents, Orr and the rest of the Canadian hockey team were on their way to Game 3 of the famous Summit Series between the Soviet Union and Canada in 1972, during the height of the Cold War. It was at this tender age that Lawrence’s lifelong entanglement with hockey began. His new book, The Lonely End of the Rink, is a combination of hockey lore, Canadian music

history and hilarious personal anecdotes. It is a side-splitting account of how hockey has played into various periods of Lawrence’s life, first as a kneebrace-wearing bully-magnet, then a rock star, and finally a CBC broadcaster. Not only does the book contain colourful tales about the history of the NHL, it is also chock full of stories about many Canadian celebrities, including comedians, musicians and actors, whose lives have been affected by the game. Lawrence is a music journalist and host with CBC Radio. Previously, Lawrence was the lead singer of the internationally acclaimed band, The Smugglers. He is also the goalie of the Vancouver arts-based beer league hockey team the Vancouver Flying Vees. Lawrence makes his appearance at the library Oct. 29 at 6 p.m. For more information, please visit www.grantlawrence. ca.

Forum provides insight into indigenous issues As part of Vancouver Island University Indigenous Teaching and Scholarship Series, and in partnership with university’s Research and Scholarly Activity Office, the public is invited to a presentation and discussion entitled Respectful Research: Its Meaning in Practice on Thursday (Oct. 24). This free event features Lewis Williams, Maori scholar and author of Radical Human Ecology and currently adjunct professor with the School of Public Health at the University of Saskatchewan, and Danielle Alphonse, VIU’s B.C. Innovation Chair in Aboriginal Early Childhood Education and a leading emerging scholar in her field in B.C. Williams and Alphonse will speak about their use of interdisciplinary, indigenous, community centered research approaches. VIU’s Indigenous Teaching and Scholarship Series

is intended to provide an ongoing forum for faculty, staff, students and interested members of the public to gain more familiarity with issues affecting aboriginal education approaches, especially related to teaching and scholarship. The series will inform the framing of a VIU Aboriginal Education Plan, but perhaps more importantly, it initiates a helpful, authentic engagement with those who are teaching, learning, and researching in this region or with aboriginal communities. Williams’s current book,
Radical Human Ecology is receiving global recognition. In the foreword of the book, Richard J. Borden, Rachel Carson chair in human ecology, College of the Atlantic and past-president/executive director, Society for Human Ecology, states: “Below the clamor of a bustling world, this volume imparts the seeds of a radical alternative for human ecology. They lie beneath the surface: amid the whispered voices at the margin, in the praxis of traditional spirituality, along the dusty road of postmodernism, and from the ivy halls of science. This is not the human ecology of a prehistoric fireside or an academic symposium. It is an unconventional and timely pedagogy of hope.” The public presentation takes place in building 305, room 507, from 7-9 p.m. For more information please contact michele.patterson@viu.ca.

GAUER Signy Elin
Signy Elin Gauer (aka Signy Parkin), 67, of Nanaimo, BC, died peacefully at 6:45 a.m. on Friday October 11, 2013 at the Palliative Care Unit of Nanaimo Regional General Hospital after a long and courageous battle with cancer. She was born October 3, 1946 in Fort William, Ontario to Thora and Frederick Gauer. Signy is survived by her brother, Paul, of Thunder Bay, Ontario; her daughters: Cynthia (Jonathan) Hinkle of Yorba Linda, California, Suzanne (Jason) Prenovost of Seattle, Washington, and Katherine (David) Wirth of Dallas, Texas; and six grandchildren: Hanna and Haley Hinkle, Zachery, Conner and Nathan Prenovost, and Brooklynn Wirth. Signy is preceded in death by her parents, and two sisters, Lenore Gauer of Thunder Bay, Ontario and Margaret Baluik of Cumberland, Rhode Island. Signy was a long time resident of Nanaimo, where she lived since leaving her childhood home of Thunder Bay, Ontario at the age of 29. She was a much loved member of the South End Community Association, St. Andrews United Church, Nanaimo Native Chapel, as well as the Western Canada Wilderness Committee. She consistently volunteered in her community and always gave unselfishly of herself. Signy was a hard working volunteer “paper girl� and tireless collector of signatures on many campaigns for the South End Community Association - from protecting the Great Bear Rainforest, to making our electoral system more democratic. She would also be seen ringing the bells for the Salvation Army every year at Christmas. She loved animals, especially her cats, Rusty and Abby. Signy was well known throughout Nanaimo. Her family and friends will greatly miss her. She will be loved and remembered. A small gathering of friends will be held, for Signy, on Sunday, October 27 at 2:00 p.m. at St. Andrews United Church, 311 Fitzwilliam St. Nanaimo. An informal service will be held at Signy’s Memorial Site, Cedar Valley, at a future date (to be determined). In lieu of flowers, please send donations to St. Andrews United Church, Nanaimo, or The Western Canada Wilderness Committee.
Frank Branchi
LOST: USB - I have lost my 8G USB somewhere between Brooks Landing Staples and the Coast Bastion Hotel on September 14th. I have called all of the locations I was at and no one has turned it in. This USB is mostly back with white at the tip, and no cap. It contains school work, photos from my and my sisters weddings and research that is useless to others, but invaluable to me. I will give the person who returns it a $100 reward. Please call: (250)741-6207
January 11, 1927 ~ July 28, 2013 My families and I wish to extend our heartfelt “Thanks� to everyone who prayed, sent cards and made donations to NRGH in the recent loss of Frank. We appreciate your thoughtfulness. Sincerely, Lorna Branchi & Families. DEATHS

PALIN, William Franklin (Frank) It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of Frank Palin at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital on Wednesday, October 16, 2013, with his family by his side. He was much loved and will be forever remembered and deeply missed by his beloved wife, Cynthia; son, Robert (Suzanne); daughter, JoAnne; grandsons, Daniel and Jason; brother, Arnold (Yvette); sister, Elizabeth Burlton (Dennis); sister-in-law, Iris VanWart; and many nieces and nephews. Frank was a warm, gracious, gentle and kind family man with a wonderful sense of humour. He had a great interest in aviation and was employed as a commercial pilot for most of his working life. He was an avid golfer and, in retirement, greatly enjoyed golfing with his friends. After moving from Fredericton, NB to Nanaimo, BC Frank and Cynthia became enthusiastic ballroom dancers and were active members of the Nanaimo Ballroom Dance Society for many years. Frank enjoyed volunteering with the Dance Society as well as many other community and church groups. A funeral mass will be held at Nanaimo Ecumenical Church on Spartan Road, Nanaimo on Tuesday, October 22nd at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Kidney Foundation of Canada.

BC Hydro stands to lose $1 billion over the next four years by selling surplus energy critic John Horgan power at a loss, NDP said yesterday. Horgan renewed the NDP’s long-standing criticism of the B.C. Liberal government’s push for electricity self-sufďŹ ciency, and its requirement that all new clean energy sources be privately developed Long-term purchase . contracts signed under that policy mean BC Hydro can expect to lose more than $1 billion by 2015, Horgan said at a news conferenc at the legislature. He e based his calculatio ns on documents BC Hydro released when it ďŹ led its application last week for an environmental assessmen t for the proposed Site C dam on the Peace River. The environmental impact shows an expected surplus statement for the dam of 5,200 gigawatt-hours for 2013 and similar surpluses out to 2015. Horgan said the current informati on suggests BC Hydro will have a surplus for the next 10 years. “We’re purchasing at $94 a megawatt-hour, and we can sell it for $37 a megawatt-hour (on the spot market),â€? Horgan said. “The net difference being $57 per megawatt -hour for power we do not need, power that BC Hydro was forced to purchase because of aggressiv e B.C. Liberal energy policy.â€? Energy Minister Rich Coleman said Horgan is using a “snapshotâ€? of today’s low spot market and extending the same demand and prices far into the future. The province has numerous mine projects underway or seeking approval, and liqueďŹ ed natural gas export proposals are proliferati ng in northern B.C. that are also likely to increase demand for electricity , he said.

Heinrich, Giselle, Taffy & Taiger
Heinrich came to us when his owners were moving and they were not able to take him along. He is a very sweet, gentle boy and quickly won over the hearts of the staff. He was aging, and his body was starting to need more rest. We were able to find a wonderful retirement home for him in Vancouver. They were the perfect match, and we are so happy that Heinrich is in a warm home for his remaining time. We love you, Heinrich! Giselle came to us with a horrible skin condition from a flea allergy. She was the nicest Giselle Heinrich cat and we put her into a foster home while she healed up. Soon after, she came to the shelter and waited for her new home.

Raiders regain championship Inbrief I football
JR. FOOTBALL team wins 48-37 versus Rams.
All-star talent buoys Raiders
BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
The Raiders regained the championship in a barnburner of a B.C. final. The Vancouver Island Raiders outscored the Langley Rams 48-37 to win the B.C. Football Conference final on Saturday afternoon at Caledonia Park. “It’s the greatest feeling,” said Dylan Chapdelaine, V.I. linebacker. “Especially last year, us losing, and now it’s back with us, it’s back with the rightful owners.” The Raiders scored a field goal on the game’s opening drive and never trailed. The Rams twice closed the deficit to nine points in the second half, but couldn’t get any closer. “We buckled down, our offence kept putting up points and we just held them,” said Ariel Fabbro, Raiders defensive back. V.I. quarterback Jaeden Marwick was chosen the offensive player of the game as he was 13-for-19 for 196 yards with three touchdown passes and one interception. Chapdelaine, who had two interceptions and 10 solo tackles, was defensive player of the game and Whitman Tomusiak was selected the special teams player of the game. “It’s a team sport and I thought we played as a team,” said Matthew (Snoop) Blokker, coach of the Raiders. He said his team dominated the line of scrimmage and had success with different facets of the game, spreading out the Rams’ defence. “We followed our game plan by our coaches, ran the ball efficiently on first down and then we were successful through the air,” Marwick said. Chapdelaine said his team’s defence just tried to play its game against the Rams’ playmakers. “Langley tried to bring it with the run game at first and we started shutting it down so they had

to go to the pass game,” he said. “They scored a couple on us but our offence gave us some points.” Ryan Jones opened the scoring with a 10-yard field goal, and then a Chapdelaine pick led to a seven-yard TD pass to Dylan Schrot, who made the catch in double coverage at the back of the
endzone. Langley’s Steve Thomas kicked a 43-yard field goal late in first quarter. Thomas hit a 38-yarder early in the second, but the Raiders replied as Alex Thompson caught a tipped ball in the endzone for a touchdown. The Raiders scored again three minutes later on a trick play, as Schrot took
a lateral pass and threw a 15-yard TD reception to Dustin Rodriguez. The Raiders conceded a safety late in the quarter to make the score 24-8 at halftime. Alex Kutra scored a 10-yard rushing TD early in the second half, then the visitors got some momentum as Kyle Albertini scored a oneyard rushing TD and Dan English caught a 21-yard TD. Tomusiak returned the ensuing kickoff into Langley territory, though, and Kutra caught a 16-yard TD. Rams quarterback Jahlani Gilbert-Knorren got free for a 29-yard touchdown run to start the fourth quarter but Jones hit a 19-yard field goal and then Fabbro scored on a 72-yard pick six to basically remove all doubt. Jacob Carvery caught a 30-yard TD pass late. Gilbert-Knorren’s numbers were 30-for-49 for 413 yards. He also had a game-high 90 rushing yards. Kyle Piche made
six catches for 169 yards. Defensively for the Raiders, Cole Samson had his team’s other interception as well as seven tackles. Brendan Lattimer had a fumble recovery and Ash Gayat had a sack and six tackles. Ashton Galloway, Raiders running back, said he saw 100 per cent effort from his team in the win. He said the Raiders drew motivation from last year’s loss to the Rams in the B.C. final. “We definitely had that in mind going into this game,” he said. “We all thought about how we lost that game last year. We definitely had some revenge [in mind] going into this game. We all just fought, scored points, won the game.” GAME ON … The V.I. Raiders advance to play the Windsor AKO Fratmen in the Jostens Cup national semifinal. That game will be played Saturday (Oct. 26) in Windsor, Ont. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
One of the reasons why the Vancouver Island Raiders won the B.C. Football Conference championship is because they’re a veritable all-star team. The Raiders had six players on the BCFC all-star team and also captured five major awards. Receiver Whitman Tomusiak was chosen Outstanding Offensive Player of the Year and Outstanding Receiver. Quarterback Jamie Ybarra was selected Rookie of the Year, Dylan Chapdelaine was Outstanding Linebacker and Matthew (Snoop) Blokker won the Ranji Mattu Memorial Coach of the Year Award. Tomusiak, Ybarra and Chapdelaine are allstars, as are offensive lineman Tyler Oldendorf, defensive back Cole Bishop and defensive lineman Ash Gayat.
DB gets injured after huge play The V.I. Raiders weren’t able to come out of a hard-fought B.C. final unscathed. Defensive back Ariel Fabbro suffered an upper-body injury that will likely keep him out of the Jostens Cup semifinal. Before he got hurt, though, he scored the game-clinching touchdown Saturday, a 72-yard interception return. He got some blocks and made some moves to get to paydirt. “I was ready to do whatever I could to take it into the endzone,” Fabbro said. “It’s a championship game, you do whatever you can.”

Scoring, saves spark wins for Shipmen
Mariner men make playoffs
ing former teammates Michael McNicholas and Josh Bryan. “A couple of the guys told me all those big saves were on either McNicholas or Bryan, pretty well,” Argue said. “I was pretty scared that they were going to bury one, so that’s good.” The goalie, chosen first star, said he’s seeing the Clippers building belief. “This is a hard league and you’ve got to come to play every night and you’ve got to believe you can win every night,” he said. The night before, he stopped 25 if 27 shots in relief for the win. Sheldon Rempal led the offence with two goals and two assists and Taylor, Taylor Grobowski, Devin Brosseau, Austin Dick and Edwin Hookenson also scored. There were a lot of die-hard Clippers fans who appreciated the back-to-back wins, as it was parents’ weekend and many families were on the Island from around the country. “The boys did their job by winning two games and I’m sure the parents enjoyed themselves, too,” Vandekamp said. “As a coach sometimes you’re concerned about parents’ weekend because it can be distracting at times, but this one turned out well.” GAME ON … The Clippers (7-7) visit the Bulldogs (1-12-2-1) on Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Port Alberni’s Weyerhaeuser Arena.
Vancouver Island University’s men’s soccer team sure did their part to make the upcoming provincial championships more interesting. The Mariners men defeated the Douglas Royals 4-0 on Sunday on the mainland to squeak into the Pacific Western Athletic Association championships. The M’s (6-5-3) finished tied with the UBCOkanagan Heat for the final playoff berth, but won the head-tohead tiebreaker. Farhad Abdulgani scored a hat trick in the last game of the season to lead his team. The M’s men had lost 1-0 at Kwantlen the day before, putting them in their precarious position. VIU’s women (3-9-2) missed the playoffs. VIU is hosting men’s and women’s soccer provincials starting Friday (Oct. 25) at Merle Logan Field. Look for more in the next issue of the News Bulletin.

NANAIMO CLIPPERS beat Alberni 7-5, then shut out Vernon 3-0. BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN
The Nanaimo Clippers found different ways to win hockey games on the weekend. The city’s B.C. Hockey League club won a 7-5 goal-fest on the road Friday against the Alberni Valley Bulldogs, then muscled out a 3-0 shutout victory over the Vernon Vipers the next night on home ice. Mike Vandekamp, Clippers coach, said his team had a good mindset going into Saturday’s marquee game after the previous night’s wild comeback over the hump. “We started the game with a belief in ourselves and I think that’s a big step for us,” he said. “The mentality was very good.” The Clips survived some penaltry trouble in the first period and then, in the second period, saw that they were able to take the game to the Vipers five-on-five. The game was 0-0 going into the third period. “We wanted to stay on the attack,” Vandekamp said. “We’re not real believers in sitting back and trying to protect.” Bo Brauer scored the game win-

Buccaneers edge Cougars The Nanaimo Buccaneers won an early season test of the best. The city’s junior B hockey team edged the Victoria Cougars 3-2 on Thursday night at the Nanaimo Ice Centre. The Bucs (12-2) and the Cougs (12-1-0-1) lead the North Division and South Division, respectively, but hadn’t played each other until Thursday. “Our kids won that for the North Division,” said Brad Knight, Buccaneers coach. The visitors controlled the first period and led 1-0 at intermission, but the home team carried the bulk of the play over the last two periods. “We started moving the puck quicker and getting on the forecheck … and playing
offensive. We’re not playing not to lose, we’re playing to win,” said Garrett Dunlop, the game’s first star. Nick White, Dunlop and Jordan Levesque scored for Nanaimo and Ryan Waldhaus made 24 saves for the win. The Buccaneers celebrated like it was a big win, and they’ll just try to keep building on it. “We’re going to keep playing our game, and that will win us games,” Dunlop said.
