Halloween events aim to horrify, terrorize By CHRis BusH ThE NEwS BULLETiN
T
he thing that lurked under your bed when you were a kid? It was real and there’s a real possibility you’ll come face to face with it at Beban Park. There’s no “happily ever after” waiting at the end of Scary Tales, this year’s show at Island Haunt Productions’ Haunted House at the Vancouver Island Exhibition grounds in Beban Park. Twisted children’s tales will awaken those terrors you thought you’d safely entombed in your childhood and have them scrabbling from their hiding places to claw in the darkness at your
mind and soul. “We let people decide how suitable it is for their children,” said Kerry Kass, Island Haunt Productions co-owner. “We’re not for the faint at heart, that’s for sure.” Scenes and actors place their grisly stamp on nursery rhymes and give that special extra something missing from the slightly sanitized modern versions of the Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales. Never before have things gone quite so horrifically for Little Red Riding Hood and, oh, if you’re tempted by Little Miss Muffet to join her on her tuffet to share some of her curds and whey? Not a good idea. “We’re actually just making

them the way they were meant to be,” Kass said. Visiting hours are 7-11 p.m. until Halloween night (Oct. 31). Cost is $9 per person and Island Haunt Productions will donate the admission cost of anyone who can’t make it all the way through Scary Tales to the charity of their choice. Strangely, Kass wasn’t prepared to say what became of previous visitors who chickened out part way through the house. For more information, please visit www.islandhaunt.com.

Aspengrove School is calling on the province to take tax exemption decisions for private schools out of the hands of municipalities, after Lantzville officials voted to tax its property holdings. The District of Lantzville has opted to uphold a September decision to deny Aspengrove a $6,070 tax exemption next year, making the institution the third independent school in B.C. to pay taxes on its holdings. The move has not only sparked a tax fight that’s making its way to the legislature, but generated new debate about whether municipalities should give tax breaks to independent schools. According to Lantzville council members, the municipality is already required to give tax exemptions for independent school buildings, but they have the right to decide if they should also give tax breaks for the rest of the property, like parking lots and playgrounds. The majority of council members decided against an exemption for 2014, citing financial restraints and low

participation in the school by Lantzville students. Twelve per cent of the school population is currently from the rural community. Taxpayers who already pay for public schools through municipal taxes, would essentially be paying an additional education tax for the private institution and the subsidy, “would be going to 80-something per cent of people that don’t live in the community,” said Coun. Graham Savage. However, school executives charge that the district is being closed-minded and unappreciative of what it offers the community in terms of attracting new residents and providing educational choices for families. Now as a result of the decision, the institution could face a total $14,000 to $20,000 annual tax bill and potential program cuts within its $2.5-million budget. Board member Iain McIver said the higher cost to the school will mean the difference between hiring a teacher, giving a teacher a raise or giving children access to its International Baccalaureate program through bursaries. There will be “tremendous hardship” ahead – highlighting exactly the reason why the province needs to make tax exemptions mandatory for all independent schools’ property holdings, he said. u See ‘SCHOOL’ /4

District explains test data discrepancies by Karl yu The News bulleTiN
annual elevator inspections to the tune of $3,000 to $4,000 annually. “It works well on a number of fronts,” said Richard Harding, the city’s director of parks, recreation and culture. “[The gallery] is moving forward with their ultimate vision ... [and] re-purposing an old building for the fraction of the cost of what it’d be to build a new building.” The ownership transition from the Centre for the Arts to the Nanaimo Art Gallery will happen in the new year. The gallery board is currently in discussion with building tenants about lease renewals and any improvements they require in the building.
The Nanaimo school district didn’t misrepresent Foundation Skills Assessment test numbers when considering the closure of Cedar Community Secondary School, according to superintendent Dave Hutchinson. Hutchinson and school trustees have been under fire from the Save Cedar Schools Coalition for the school’s closure, part of the district’s 10-year facilities plan. Differences between district numbers and those from the Ministry of Education were part of a coalition argument against closure, something the superintendent addressed at a meeting last week. Ministry test results for 2013 pointed to 65 per cent of Grade 7 students in B.C. meeting writing skills expectations, with 67 per cent of school district students meeting expectations; the district said 79 per cent of provincial students met expectations while 74 per cent of district students met expectations. Students performing below the provincial average was cited in the proposed plan to consolidate schools. “What we’ve done as a district historically – and this started to happen before my time and that’s why there’s a difference in the proration of the scores across the various categories – [is] we focus only on the students who took the test. We don’t calculate any of the students who did not do the test,” Hutchinson said. The superintendent said school district students on average are not yet meeting curricular outcomes compared to the provincial average in Grade 4 and 7, when the tests are taken, adding that it was particularly noticeable in terms of numeracy. Another concern of the coalition centred around safety, as some Cedar students will be going to John Barsby Community School, which is in proximity of the Colliery dams and it is thought there could be loss of life if the dams fail. “We reassure people in our report and will continue to do so, that we are working with the City of Nanaimo to make sure that we work with them for short-term and long-term mitigation projects and that we have a really good emergency response plan in place,” Hutchinson said. The superintendent also addressed optimal school size guidelines, operational costs and savings, capital costs, plan consultation timelines and alternate proposals at the meeting and his report can be found at the school district website at www.sd68.bc.ca. Save Cedar Schools Coalition spokesperson Steve Rae said his group is not done fighting and will be sending a letter to Hutchinson, Premier Christy Clark, Education Minister Peter Fassbender, the board of trustees and media in response to the report.

Art gallery gets expansion approval
I
city couNcil earmarks additional financial support for new facility. by Tamara Cunningham The News bulleTiN
Nanaimo’s only public art gallery is preparing to launch the first phase of its expanded downtown facility, after city council gave the nod for a new management agreement. City council members approved a 10-year deal that will see the Nanaimo Art Gallery take over management of the Centre for the Arts building next year. The organization will also get an additional $30,000 a year in operating funding and $50,000 for the first stage of renovations in a multi-phase plan. The management agreement is “thrilling” according to Deborah Zorkin, president of the Nanaimo Art Gallery board, who says the organization can now get underway on its vision to turn the Commercial Street building into a top-rated facility. The transformation is planned in three stages, beginning with the
creation of an open-concept lobby and new arts education room. Other changes will hinge on funding, but will include consolidating the gallery’s campus location with the downtown one and constructing an addition. “I believe [this vision] will happen and the city has taken the first step to make it happen,” Zorkin said. “Now we can proceed with all the hard work we’ve put in.” The Nanaimo Art Gallery was counting on the management deal to start its redevelopment. Without it, they would have had to look for a new location to construct their dream building, Zorkin said. The deal will give the organization an influx in operational funding, which city officials believe it will need once tenants move out of the building. The Centre for the Arts was set up to be self-sustainable, with rent from arts groups going toward maintenance. Those groups, however, are expected to eventually find new homes as the gallery expands its facility. The city will also take over heating and ventilation maintenance and

School vows to take issue to legislature u From /1 The Federation of Independent School Associations B.C. will be taking the issue to the legislature on Aspengrove School’s behalf. “We provide a community service, we are a … not-forprofit institution and yet this council saw fit to levy property taxes on us that they have the power not to,” McIver said. “Because you have a council as idiotic as this one, the decision-making process has to be taken out of their hands and the term ‘permissive’ has to be removed from the legislation.” The District of Lantzville considers giving permissive tax exemptions to the same properties it approved the previous year, including
the Costin Hall and Aspengrove School. But on Sept. 23, Coun. Jennifer Millbank made the motion to cut the independent school off the recipient list to save costs and direct support toward public schools. The institution is generally a place that serves families of means and tax exemptions to them is money out of the pockets of parents who cannot afford to send their children to private school, she said. The motion passed 4-3 and was upheld in a tie vote last week after a challenge by Aspengrove’s community. The district is now the third municipality in the province to challenge permissive tax exemptions for independent schools, fol-
lowing Nelson and the City of Victoria. Seaview Elementary parent advisory council president Cherie Alyward supports the decision because she hasn’t seen parents or school administrators participate in community-building events, like construction of a new memorial playground. Her advice now to the school: take a page out of the public school system. “When we can’t meet [the] budget, things get cut. So in my mind, if you can’t make it, cut things,” she said Aspengrove plans to fight to reverse the decision. Zinda FitzGerald, principal of Aspengrove, said Lantzville’s recent decision is a step back for the school, which only started
to receive permissive tax exemptions in 2011. The school pays more than $7,000 in taxes for one of its properties and is responsible for its own water, sewer and private garbage collection. It also offers the community use of its playground and helps make Lantzville a destination for new residents and business investment. It is one of the five International Baccalaureate schools in the province. “We aren’t about to sit here and just accept [the decision] because it is ... unfair and it’s time the provincial government stepped in to ensure schools such as ours don’t get hit in this way,” FitzGerald said. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Seismic upgrades start at Wellington secondary
I
plaNS iNcludE new block of classrooms to be built on site. By Karl yu the News BulletiN
The Nanaimo school district board approved seismic upgrade architectural plans for Wellington Secondary School at its board meeting last week. The upgrade will include the construction of a new section of the school, referred to as G block, replacing the old section A block, closest to Mexicana Road, which will be demolished after the project is complete. All of the functions of A block will be moved into G block and the school entrance will be created in a space left by A block. G block work is set to go to tender in late December, with the winning bid expected to be awarded Jan. 20. Chad Dalrymple, school district energy and capital project manager, said preparation work began in June. “They’ve been putting holes in all the concrete walls within the building on the inside and outside walls and adding rebar
to those areas and securing the rebar with poured concrete,” Dalrymple said. “What that does is structurally secure the walls in the event of a seismic event so no concrete blocks topple over each other.” That process will happen in every wall in the building, he added. The new addition of the school will encompass aspects of the Ministry of Education’s 21st Century Learning model, which includes flexible spaces and natural lighting. “It’s built to current ministry guidelines in terms of space acquisition, so each classroom will be 80 square metres. What’s currently in the building is about 100 square metres for a classroom,” Dalrymple said. He said that in the event of an earthquake the building would remain upright but would have to re-examined afterwards to ensure that it was safe for ongoing use. “It’s not a building that will withstand a large seismic event and we use it as an emergency centre,” said Dalrymple. “It’s a building that’s now going to be designed to stay upright and allow people to evacuate.” reporter@nanaimobulletin.com
House fire started in chimney A blaze in Harewood that heavily damaged a home on Fifth Street was sparked by a chimney fire. Firefighters had to tear out ceilings to get at stubborn hot spots in a single-storey house after a fire broke out in the attic shortly before 4 p.m. Tuesday. Dave Leigh, Nanaimo Fire Res-
cue fire prevention officer, said a fire in a wood stove chimney heated structural wood in the attic, catching it on fire. “It was a chimney fire, basically, that just exposed to the wood in the ceiling,” Leigh said.

Shopping malls host trick or treating for younger Halloween enthusiasts u From /1 That’s where a deputy went missing and the sheriff has been rustling up search parties to go out and find the missing lawman. The hitch is the sheriff always seem to forget to mention the searchers might have to shoot their way out to save their hides from all those zombies with a serious hankering for a little something to snack on. “It’s basically live theatre in the forest,” said Jen Yarnell, co-owner of Company Z Paintball Adventures. “So it’s not just random going out and shooting zombies. It’s a scripted scenario. We’ve transformed the forest into backwoods Louisiana.” The sheriff, played by an actor, leads groups of 12 people through the forest. They’ll meet characters who reveal parts of the story and rely on their trusty paintball guns to fight their way through zombie ambushes. “There’s lots of really cool props and fog and sounds and all sorts of stuff and we’ve built up this really cool moonshiner’s compound where the final show-

Families raise money for disease research

CyStiC FibroSiS affects respiratory and digestive sytems in sufferers.
School’s kitchen named after popular teacher By Karl yu The News bulleTiN
By Karl yu The News bulleTiN
A fundraiser for cystic fibrosis will benefit Nanaimo families like the Cathcarts, who have a child with the fatal genetic disease which affects the lungs and digestive system. One-year-old Kennedy Cathcart was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis shortly after birth. Krystal Cathcart, Kennedy’s mother, said her daughter has daily challenges with medication and numerous therapies. “We do percussions and vibrations on her chest and back to help keep the mucus that builds up in the lungs clear and she has to have [digestive] enzymes with all her meals,” Krystal said, adding that it makes it difficult to eat on a whim. Kennedy must also take large doses of vitamins, have a high salt and fat diet. Krystal said it might seem strange for people unaware of their situation to see her baby eating french fries. Nevertheless, Kennedy is doing well and has had only one other hospitalization so far. “She is so happy and you’d never know,” Krystal said. “People that meet her that don’t know, when we tell them are shocked because she looks so healthy and she’s so positive and you’d never know she spends such a good majority of her day doing therapies and taking medicine,” Krystal said. She said that there is a good support system for families dealing with cystic fibrosis and Cystic Fibrosis Canada makes a difference in her family’s life. Cystic Fibrosis Canada’s Nanaimo branch will be holding a fundraising dinner event at Beban Park Auditorium on Nov. 9.
A John Barsby Community School committee has successfully cooked up a scheme to re-name the school’s multipurpose room. The committee submitted a proposal to the Nanaimo school district board to name the room after the late Bruce (Chef) Chandler, a man crucial to John Barsby’s culinary program. The board approved the move at its meeting last week. The room will be known as Chandler Hall. Chandler, who died unexpectedly this year, was a cooking instructor at John Barsby, which catered a number of school functions from the multipurpose room. Deb Marshall, principal at John Barsby, said it is a phenomenal dedication not only to the school, but the community because of Chandler’s He lit up The energy and work. a room, she the passion said. “The energy he had for the and the passion had for the students and for he students and the school was for the school was just somejust something thing you’ll never be able to you’ll never be replicate,” Marable to replicate. shall said. She said Chandler built the culinary program from the ground up. A testament to the admiration for him occurred in September when a number of his former students returned to help out, as they knew it would be a challenge to start the program up again. “They came back even though they’re not even with the school anymore. They graduated [and] they came back to help out – that’s for the love,” said Marshall. Donna Allen, school district trustee representing John Barsby, said Chandler was an outstanding member of School District 68 and her grandson, currently a Grade 12 student at Barsby, was nothing but complimentary about the cooking instructor. “He and his mother have only raved about all the extras that Bruce would do for the school, providing extra opportunities for socials and food preparation for get-togethers and for the football team and for the school and for the district – when we would need to have a caterer, Bruce was always there,” Allen said. Besides catering and teaching, Chandler was also a football referee.

Online voting an eventuality
Our municipalities and province likely won’t be using Internet voting to help determine election results anytime soon. That doesn’t mean we won’t eventually be using such a method to cast our ballots in future. An independent panel tasked by Elections B.C. to study Internet voting recommended this week that any such system not be implemented in time for the upcoming municipal election, nor the next B.C. vote. But it did suggest that a technical committee be struck to look into the matter further and that the legislature should support jurisdictions that wish to pursue the option in future. The preliminary report released Wednesday offered less than lukewarm support for the idea. It confirmed that making voting easier for people in this way – those who are incapacitated, can’t work a trip to their local polling station into their schedule, or are too lazy to do so come to mind – has not been shown in other jurisdictions to significantly increase voter turnout. As for the large group of people who feel their vote doesn’t matter, or don’t care enough to vote in the first place, they present another challenge altogether, one likely not solvable with online voting. Increasing voter turnout at any level still comes down to individuals and parties doing the legwork and convincing non-voters of the importance of getting engaged in their communities, and potentially making a difference through casting their ballot. That said, the world is fast becoming an all-digital environment, where computers and cellphones can be used for virtually any transaction. We may not have the most efficient or system-improving Internet voting experiences to draw from yet, but now is the best time to begin investigating this option, to be ready for when it is the best alternative.

Salmon are sensitive to water temperature changes and Fraser River waters are projected to warm. Impacts from open net-pen salmon farming also came under the inquiry’s scrutiny. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans continues to both promote and regulate the salmon farming industry. Cohen recommended DFO separate these conflicting mandates and end its responsibility to promote farmed salmon. Cohen called for a freeze on fish farm expansion in the Discovery Islands, along an important salmon migratory route, and removal of farms if impacts aren’t addressed by 2020. The commission interviewed British Columbians and received a clear message: don’t risk the future of wild salmon and their important contribution to the fabric of First Nations culture, coastal communities and the whole of Canadian life. A year has passed, the testimony is in, the evidence heard and $26 million spent. It’s time for action to rebuild wild Pacific salmon runs, so this iconic fish can be shared and enjoyed for generations to come.

Veterans appreciate remembrance To the Editor,
I am a Second World War veteran (Navy, four years) and my vehicle is therefore carrying ‘veteran’ licence plates. Last week I was shopping at the Real Canadian Superstore in north Nanaimo and when I came out I found a piece of paper under one of the windshield wipers. For a moment I thought I had received some kind of a ticket but I was wrong. It was simply a scrap of paper and written on one side were the words ‘Thanks, veteran. God bless you.’ To say that I was shocked would be an understatement – I read those words over and over again. It was so spontaneous I believe I was almost in tears. Never in all my time since the war have I received recognition like that. I am hoping that the author of that note will accept, through your paper, not only my deep appreciation, but also that of all veterans, for this very thoughtful and kind remembrance. It is particularly poignant at this time of year.

Forget foot ferry, let’s build a bridge To the Editor
Re: Residents asked for input into ferry proposal, Oct. 24. We have been fighting to get the price down on B.C. Ferries for quite awhile now, and they just keep raising it, and here comes a few investors that want to start a foot ferry to Vancouver, at a cost twice as much as walk ons for B.C. Ferries. Are we benefiting from this? I think not. Vancouver Islanders should only have to pay one way; the extra couple of miles from Horseshoe Bay to Vancouver harbour is not sufficient mileage to warrant the extra cost of $15 per person. I cannot see it succeeding at $30 a head. A bridge would be more realistic, $30-$50 a car, all we need is a government
that is not afraid to tackle the much-needed task and get rid of B.C. Ferries.
Dave Noble Nanaimo
Passenger-only ferry not at all essential To the Editor,
Re: Residents asked for input into ferry proposal, Oct. 24. If David Marshall is so confident the venture will be successful in the Harbour City, why is he waiting on final investment and support from the city to make the business work? Those are very contradictory statements. Concessions being sought from the city indicate the venture is not going to succeed. Seeking a partnership deal with the city to allow the new ferry service a chance to incubate over the next five years simply means the
taxpayers will be on the hook again for a deal that will benefit no one except the consortium behind the project. This is not a partnership, it’s a onesided attempt to milk the taxpayer. Annual income to the city is suggested at a $700,000 level after the initial five years (no guarantees, of course), but history has already shown the venture won’t make it to five years. When will the city get it? Governments, at all levels, exist to provide essential services to taxpayers, nothing more. Stay out of the way of business. If this venture, or any other, is viable, business will run with it, alone. If business isn’t running with it, it is not viable. Subsidizing a passenger ferry service for any length of time is not an essential service.

Senate has become an insult to democracy To the Editor,
No one can now rationalize the continuance of our national disgrace, the Canadian Senate. The last few days have confirmed rampant corruption, abuse of office, ignoring the rule of law, out-ofcontrol Prime Minister Office staff, petty partisan garbage, financial waste, outright fraud and extortion, that embarrass all Canadians.
Abolish that gross insult to our democracy, the Senate, now. It is an embarrassment to the very concept of democracy. It is a disgrace that Canada maintains an appointed legislative body when most of the world finally agrees an assembly elected by the people is the proper way to govern. Our Senate is nothing more than a haven for appointed political
hacks chomping at the taxpayer-funded trough. No real friend of democracy would stop a constitutional amendment abolishing the Senate. Get on with it and save $90 million a year and Canada’s dignity. In the interim, just fund it $1 per year. Let’s see if any senator stays on the job as a volunteer.

Re: Residents asked for input into ferry proposal, Oct. 24. I was surprised to see city council would like input on the new foot ferry proposal. With all the things this city does that cost large subsidies like the Port Theatre and the convention centre, without a lot of input, this should be a no-brainer. This ferry is a necessity to make these things pay including the new hotel and will have all the necessary kinks out of the system about the time the new hotel is complete. Let’s not dither and show some leadership for a change and do not allow every negative thinker in this city to screw up a tremendous opportunity by delaying this decision to the point where the investors throw their hands up in disgust. Move it!

Natural gas is no longer needed exclusively by professional chefs and high-end homes. Homeowners are increasingly choosing natural gas in their kitchens, living spaces and even outdoors. “A lot more people are choosing natural gas these days, especially in the kitchen,” says Stephanie Malhas, interior designer at Sarah Gallop Design Inc. “People like the quality and evenness of cooking with a natural gas cooktop.” Natural gas appliances can be found in many styles, including traditional free-standing ranges, built-in ranges, professional-looking cooktops and single or double wall ovens. “It’s a more professional kind of cooking,” says Sarah Gallop. It’s also faster. Fortis B.C. notes that natural gas cooktops heat up instantly and provide precise temperature control. Natural gas ovens are naturally convection ovens, circulating air continuously around your food and ensur-
ing that it cooks or bakes evenly. But it’s not just the kitchen that can benefit from a natural gas makeover. Outdoor spaces and living areas are also tops on the list. “Everybody likes an outdoor firepit now,” says Susanne Doise of Sensitive Design Inc. “You want to create an outdoor space that you can use for three seasons of the year.” When it comes to that outdoor space, you have many more options than just the firepit. Doise says she’s recently designed entire outdoor kitchens, which can be easily connected to your home’s natural gas supply. She and Gallop also note the increase in people installing patio heaters so they don’t have to head inside as soon as it starts getting a bit chilly. “It’s kind of like camping in your own backyard,” says Gallop. “You get the informality of outdoor space with the convenience of natural gas.” And convenient it is. Natural gas is available at the push of a button, so you no longer need to wait for your fireplace or cooktop to heat up or worry about running out of propane for your outdoor barbecue.

ontemporary dancer Josh Martin had to get in touch with his inner animal. The piece, New Animal, was a collaboration between Martin’s company, 605 Collective, and Animals of Distinction’s choreographer Dana Gingras, exploring the base instincts left over from early human evolution. “It was inspired by a lot of things around what it is to be wild,” Martin said. The dancers explore the animalistic behaviour through situations of survival, predator and prey, and defending territory, among others. To get in touch with those animal instincts, the dancers looked through survival manuals – how to survive an

avalanche, a bear attack (put your hands up and make yourself big) or shark attack (take a deep breath because you don’t know when you might get another). From there, the dancers explored those movements and others, guided by the choreographer’s tasks and prompts. “There was a lot of play with how we would stalk each other, or fight each other,” Martin said. “These were all things that got imprinted early on.” Once the dancers were comfortably interacting as their animal selves, Gingas layered in further movements to create what Martin describes as an adreneline-filled dance. “You can see how it starts to layer on top of each other,” Martin said. “You can kind of lose yourself a bit in that – given the freedom, we can go

very wild.” The dance includes a bit of improvisation, allowing the dancers to react to not only each other, but also to their states of mind during each performance. “We know where we want to get to but we don’t always know how we’re going to get there,” Martin said. “There’s all these sorts of things that will happen.” It’s a challenge, which forces the dancers to remain in the moment, watching and reacting to each other’s movements rather than thinking ahead to the dance’s conclusion. “It’s exhausting, but it’s a lot of fun,” Martin said. The company, 605 Collective, formed in 2006 with Martin as one of the founding members as a peer-to-peer professional development group to explore and experiment in movement.

The group’s experiementation eventually led to informal performances, followed by longer works. After studying hip hop and street dance with the goal to becoming a professional dancer, Martin said he found opportunities in Vancouver to bridge into contemporary dance. There, he found his calling. “I just fell in love with the freedom in that,” Martin said. 605 Collective performs New Animal Nov. 9, 7:30 p.m., at the Port Theatre.

Nanaimo students join Juno winner in concert

Carmen and Donna Falconer are bringing to life a beloved children’s tale to help raise money for a Nanaimo family.
Children’s story staged for family’s fundraiser
A Juno Award-winning children’s entertainer gets some support from Nanaimo students for a concert at the Port Theatre. Norman Foote brings songs from his new album Always Be Yourself to the stage Monday (Nov. 4) at 7 p.m. T h e Va n c o u v e r based performer created a special niche and amassed a crossgenerational follow-
ing by mixing clever hooks, witty wordplay and comedy into his music. Ever yone laughs and everyone sings in this one-of-a-kind performance featuring Norman’s ‘animated wall of sound,’ featuring singers from Brechin and Park Avenue elementary schools. Foote has performed and worked with millions of chil-
d re n t h ro u g h o u t North America, inspiring creativity through his songs, stories and innovative props. Foote’s previous album, Love My New Shirt, was recorded in Nanaimo and won
a Juno Award in 2010. He has written and recorded songs for Disney, CBC and Max and Ruby, and won accolades from U.S.-based Parents’ Choice. Tickets for Foote’s
Two Nanaimo piano teachers are staging an adaptation of a popular children’s story to help raise money for a Nanaimo family. Donna and Carmen Falconer adapted Robert Munsch’s story The Paper Bag Princess for the stage and are performing it to raise money for Esme Rinald, a four-yearold diagnosed with leukemia a few weeks ago. Esme, daughter of Sarah Littlejohn and Don Rinald, will undergo treatment at B.C. Children’s Hospital over the next two years. The Falconer sisters performed the show at more than 100 schools in the Lower Mainland. Although they didn’t renew their contract with Annick Press, the publishing company which owns the rights to the story allowed them to perform the show for the fundraiser. The show is 30 minutes in length and suitable for all ages. Carmen Falconer said, in an e-mail, that Esme’s parents have been overwhelmed with support and care from staff and volunteers at Children’s Hospital and would like the money from the fundraiser directed there. The show is set for Saturday (Nov. 2) at 4 p.m. at Brechin United Church, 1998 Estevan Rd. Admission is by donation, suggested at $5 per person.

V.I. Raiders win 50-3, reach Canadian Bowl BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

Clippers score shutout victory I
BCHL TEAM wins 5-0 against Trail Smoke Eaters. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
The Nanaimo Clippers closed out the month with a shutout win. The Clips scored three times in the third period and sailed past the Trail Smoke Eaters 5-0 on Sunday afternoon at Frank Crane Arena. “Any time you get a shutout is a good game,” said Mike Vandekamp, Clippers coach. “We played well, stuck with it.” The score was 2-0 through two periods and then the Shipmen scored a short-handed goal five minutes into the third that put the game firmly in their grip. Korey Morgan made a fine solo rush, getting the goalie out of position and sliding the puck to a trailing Jacob Hanlon, who had a wide-open net to shoot at. The Clips iced the win with a couple of power play goals; first Scott Prier blasted home a

point shot and then Devin Brosseau bounced one in off Trail’s goalie from a bad angle. Ta y l o r G ro b o w s k i and Austin Dick scored Nanaimo’s other goals and Jayson Argue registered the shutout as his team outshot the Smoke Eaters 44-29. In some Sunday matinees, the Clippers have
had trouble finding their legs, but that wasn’t the case this past weekend. “We were really up on the bench no matter what was going on out on the ice,” said Hanlon, the game’s first star with three points. “Our energy was just great. We kept pushing and pushing.” T h e w i n b ro u g h t Nanaimo’s record back
to .500 after an uneven performance in a 5-4 overtime loss against the Alberni Valley Bulldogs last Wednesday over the hump and a better effort, albeit a 5-3 loss, to the Victoria Grizzlies on Friday down the Malahat. “Lately we’ve played pretty good … I think we’re starting to become more consistent,” Vandekamp said. “It’s not always just the wins and the losses, either, it’s just about how we play.” ICE CHIPS … On Friday, Sheldon Rempal had a goal and two assists for the Clippers and Morgan and Brendan Taylor scored Nanaimo’s other goals. Argue made 28 saves in the loss … The Clippers play road games on three straight days starting Friday (Nov. 1) against the Powell River Kings. They have a Saturday rematch with the Kings, then a Sunday matinee in Duncan against the Cowichan Valley Capitals. Next home action for the Clips isn’t until Nov. 8, when the Bulldogs visit Frank Crane Arena for a 7 p.m. game. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
The V.I. Raiders get to go to the Canadian Bowl, after overwhelming Ontario’s champions in their semifinal. The Raiders squashed the Windsor AKO Fratmen 50-3 on Saturday in the Jostens Cup game in Windsor, Ont. “In the first half we just needed to settle down and get focused and then in the second half we absolutely dominated and took over the game,” said Matthew (Snoop) Blokker, Raiders coach. The score was 7-0 after one quarter and 19-3 at halftime and Blokker said his guys continued to play well even after the game turned into a blowout. “They know and understand when they’re playing good football and they know where they need to be to play good football,” he said. The Raiders outgained the Fratmen with 587 yards of total offence compared to 120. Windsor did not gain a first down until the second half. “Defensively we were real fast compared to what they were used to…” Blokker said. “They realized pretty quick the run wasn’t working and they had trouble passing the ball on us, especially with the conditions in the wind.” We were real Nanaimo split playing time at quarterfast compared back, with Jaeden Marwick going 6-forto what they 14 for 113 yards and were used to. two interceptions and Jahmari Bennett completing 7-of-13 passes for 109 yards and two touchdowns. “We didn’t use a ton of our playbook, but what we did use, I thought we were pretty efficient,” said Blokker. Ashton Galloway opened the scoring on a 21-yard run, then after the teams traded field goals in the second quarter, Dylan Chapdelaine intercepted a deflected ball and returned it 46 yards for a pick six. In the second half, Alex Kutra plunged for a one-yard touchdown run and Micheal Ritchott sped through holes in the Fratmen defence for a 56-yard major score. Dylan Schrot and Arthur Fabbro caught TD passes from Bennett. V.I. kicker Ryan Jones finished the game 2-for-2 on field goal attempts, hitting from 36 and 29 yards out. Ritchott was the game’s top rusher with 124 yards on seven carries. Kutra led the Raiders with 62 receiving yards. Defensively, Chapdelaine, Cole Samson and Nigel Henry each made three tackles, Fabian Ross had an interception and Henry had a sack. As the Raiders travelled back on Sunday, they watched the webcast of the Prairie Football Conference final and happened to see an upset. The Regina Thunder won their first PFC title, unseating the three-time national champions, the Saskatoon Hilltops, 21-16. Blokker said that result “makes a big difference” as his team now gets ready to go to Regina for the Canadian Junior Football League championship on Nov. 9. Instead of facing the top-seeded Hilltops, the Raiders (11-2) have an unexpected date with the Thunder (7-2-1) in the Canadian Bowl. “We’ve got to that game,” Blokker said. “You can’t win it unless you’re in it.”

VIU Mariners earn bronze medal on home turf

MEN’S SOCCER wins 3-1 in third-place matchup against langara Falcons. BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN
GREG SAKAKI/ThE NEwS BullETIN
Thompson Rivers University WolfPack player Justin Wallace, front left, looks to move the ball as Vancouver Island University Mariners opponent Dan Cato closes in during Saturday’s semifinal match at the Pacific Western Athletic Association championships at Merle Logan Field.
The VIU Mariners couldn’t knock off the league’s top team, but they still made a strong showing at provincials on their home turf. Vancouver Island University’s men’s soccer team won bronze at the Pacific Western Athletic Association championships, defeating the Langara Falcons 3-1 on Sunday at Merle Logan Field. The day before, VIU lost to the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack 2-1 in a hard-fought semifinal. Bill Merriman, VIU coach, said his team was focused and wanted to win its bronze-medal match. “It was great to see them come back and play with the same kind of intensity as they did yesterday in the semifinal game,” he said. “I’m proud when I see teams that I coach do that kind of thing.” Dan Cato, team captain, called it a good show of character. “Even though it’s not that goal that we had hoped for, we never stopped working,” he said.
Barsby Bulldogs clinch first place in conference There’s still some football to be played this fall, but the Barsby Bulldogs have already achieved one of their goals. John Barsby Seco n d a r y S c h o o l ’s AA varsity ’Dawgs clinched first place in the Western Conference with a 21-0 win over the Carson Graham Eagles on Friday at Merle Logan Field. Both teams went
into the matchup with undefeated records but the Bulldogs were the ones who were able to tough out a win on their home turf. Coach Rob Stevenson said in a press re l e a s e t h a t h i s team’s defence gave a great effort. “We were quite frankly smothering and again, very, very physical,” he said.
Offensively, Brandon Parker was the central figure with 40 carries for 172 yards and two touchdowns. Kyle Vollet added 16 carries for 103 yards and scored Barsby’s other touchdown on a 44-yard interception return. Duc Truong had an interception and a fumble recovery and Shawn Arabsky and Cole Virtanen made
six tackles apiece. First place has Stevenson feeling pride. “[I] am thankful to be a part of this program, school culture and community,” he said. GAME ON … Barsby’s final regular-season game is the Kocher Classic against the N an ai mo D is tr ic t Islanders on Friday (Nov. 1) at 1:45 p.m. at Merle Logan Field.

Mateo Kostering scored twice in the bronze-medal match and Keegan Lang had VIU’s other goal. The day before, the WolfPack scored early in each half and led 2-0, but the Mariners’ Renan Rebelatto made it 2-1 on a solo effort to make it a more furious finish. “We battled right till the end,” Cato said. “You saw their team with all 11 players in the box trying to defend and we were pressing, pressing, pressing.” The VIU Mariners will take a lot of positives from provincials. It was an achievement just to qualify in a tough PacWest conference, especially with a young team and a re-tooled core in 2013. “From the beginning to the end, you could see how they came together as a team,” Merriman said. “[The semifinal] was a perfect example of that – every player was contributing, every player was helping each other and it’s great to see for the future.” Cato, a graduating veteran, said he’s proud of his team and feels like he’s moving on from a program that has a lot of potential. “They’ve learned a ton about what VIU’s about and how to win on the soccer field and also in life,” he said. “I hope they carry all those lessons forward. They have a good future ahead of them.”

RYAN, Donald Bruce James Aug. 17, 1941- Oct. 2, 2013 “Gone Fishing with White Caps to Join Mario� It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Bruce on October 2, 2013 at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Comox, BC. Bruce was born in Vancouver, BC to his mother, Dorothy Plumb, where he was soon after adopted by parents Don and Doris Ryan of New Westminster, BC. After graduating from Lester Pearson High School he attended the University of British Columbia where he studied Commerce. Bruce’s passion for fishing began as a young man when he began deckhanding for Canadian Fishing Company. He later worked as a dockworker and longshoreman at Pacific Coast Terminal. Bruce’s employment with Continental Explosives brought him and his wife of 30 years, Cameron Spencer Ryan (predeceased him in 1996), to Nanaimo, BC where they raised their boys, Drew and Darcy. Bruce’s later employment brought him to Menzies Bay Division in Campbell River as a driller blaster for MacMillan Bloedel. Bruce’s love for the outdoors prompted many family camping and fishing adventures. Bruce spent the last nine years of his life with his loving wife Donna Vye, living in Comox and on their 50 foot yacht, Rana III in Nanaimo. Together they fulfilled many of their dreams fishing, boating, traveling, visiting family and friends, and making wondrous memories. To the end of his life, Bruce shared his passions and interests with friends and family. Bruce is lovingly remembered by his wife Donna Vye (Clements), son Darcy of Nanaimo, BC (Jesse), son Drew and Christine of Tofino, BC (Tylan and Tayte); sister Maureen of Twin Lakes, BC (Donnie and Julie), and many other relatives and friends. A Celebration of Bruce’s Life will be held at the Nanaimo Yacht Club on Sunday, November 17, 2013 at 2pm. In lieu of flowers, donations to the BC Cancer Agency or a charity of your choice would be appreciated. Online condolences may be offered at www.hwwallacecbc.com

AQUINO, Frank Albino “Poppa Wop� September 8, 1929 ~ October 21, 2013 It is with heavy hearts that Frank’s family announces his passing on October 21, 2013 at 7:30 p.m., with his family by his side at the Palliative Care Unit at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. Frank was deeply loved and will be sadly missed by his children: Kathi Baart (John), Rick Aquino (Cindy), Kerry Aquino (Ory); grandchildren: Brennan Baart (Rachael), Riley & Brianna Aquino; his cousins, nieces, nephews and long time friends. Frank was born in Extension B.C. and remained a lifetime resident of Nanaimo where he worked at various jobs in the woods for close to 40 years, including: machine operator, logging truck driver, and logger. He was predeceased by his parents, seven older siblings, numerous relatives and good friends. He was a very compassionate and creative man with a hearty laugh and wonderful sense of humour. Frank loved the good times he shared with his family, relatives, friends, and his beloved pets, Tia, Brandy and Cruiser. He enjoyed being outdoors with nature, fishing, gardening, cooking, dancing and spending time in his beautiful back yard. For years, he was a long-time member of the TGIF Singles Club and the Cavallotti Lodge where he volunteered with various 106775 functions. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Cavallotti Lodge on Saturday, November 23, 2013 at 2:00p.m. with Fred Massey officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to his favourite animal charities – the Nanaimo & District SPCA and the CatNap Cat Rescue Society. Special thanks to the Palliative Care Unit staff, Dr. Eric Javaneri, Dr. Katherine King, Denise at Hospice, as well as the paramedics, nurses and doctors at NRGH. Sands ~ Nanaimo (250)753-2032
MOSS, Betteena
June 10, 1917 ~ October 18, 2013 On Friday, October 18, 2013 Betteena Moss of Nanaimo, B.C. passed away peacefully at Woodgrove Manor, at the age of 96. She was predeceased by her husband, Albert Henry Moss and her granddaughter, Tamara Dawn Moss. Betteena is survived by her sister, Joan House (nephew Ziff); her two sons: John (Margie), and Robert (Gloria); her grandchildren: Michael, Mathew (Karen), Kathleen (Vicki), Philip and Christian (Ashley) and her great grandchildren, Adriana and Kylen. Betteena Moss was born in England, June 10, 1917; during her early years her family moved several times. They moved to Canada when she was 1 month old and then to South America when she was 2 months. When she turned five, the family returned to Victoria, B.C. where she lived until she turned 13 and at that time, she returned to England to live with her grandparents. She took her nurses training in England. When the war broke out she joined the Navy for the next seven years. She served on the H.M.S. Victory, Kestrel, Marlborough, at the London training depot and on the H.M.S. Golden Hind in Australia. She was the Chief Petty Officer in charge of thirty five girls. She married Albert in Australia where her first son was born. The family returned to Canada nine years later, settling in Nanaimo B.C. where her second son, Robert was born. Over the years she was involved in many organizations. She served as cub master for eight years and was a commanding officer in the Wrenettes for seven years. When Albert passed away, in 1980, she joined the Entertainers Band at Bowen Park and was with them for twenty-seven years, serving as president for many of those years. Betteena will be sadly missed. The family would like to sincerely thank her doctors and the staff at Woodgrove Manor fr all the loving care they gave her. A Service of Remembrance will be held at St. Paul's Anglican Church on Tuesday, October 29, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. Memorial donations, in Betteena's name, to the charity of your
choice, would be greatly appreciated.

Tustian, Barbara McKnead July 17, 1924 – October 14, 2013
It is with heartfelt family love that we say goodbye to our mother and grannie, Barbara McKnead Tustian (nee Fleming). Barbara was born in Greenock, Scotland. She met and married our dad and granddad, Royal Canadian Navy Seaman, William Reid Tustian, in 1944 at the height of WWII. She raised her family in East Vancouver before retiring to Vancouver Island in 1995. She is survived by her children: Margaret (Don), Bob (Pipi), Wayne (Cherryl) along with ten grandchildren and four great grandchildren. In her passing she has been, at last, reunited with her eldest son, Ken and her husband, Bill. Barbara loved her family and she will continue to be a model of strength, courage, good sense and good humour for all of us. At her request there will be no public service. Please instead, toast her life with a cup of tea and hug the ones you love. Our thanks to the caring and dedicated staff of Nanaimo Regional General Hospital, VIHA and Lakeside Gardens.

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. Libera l government’s push for electricity self-sufficiency, 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 confer ence at the legislature. He based his calculations on documents BC Hydro release d when it filed its applica tion last week for an environmental assessm ent the proposed Site C for dam on the Peace River. The environmental impact statement for the dam shows an expected surplu s of 5,200 gigawatt-hour for 2013 and similar s surpluses out to 2015. Horgan said the current inform ation suggests BC Hydro will have a surplus for the next 10 years. “We’re purchasing at $94 a megawatt-hou r, and we can sell it for $37 a megawatt-hour (on the spot market),” Horgan said. “The net differe nce being $57 per megaw att-hour for power we do not need, power that BC Hydro was forced to purchase because of aggressive B.C. Liberal energy policy.” Energy Minister Rich Coleman said Horgan is using a “snapshot” of today’s low spot market and extending the same demand and prices far into the future. The province has numer ous mine projects underw or seeking approval, ay and liquefied natural gas export proposals are prolifer ating in northern B.C. that are also likely to increase demand for electricity , he said.

Neighbourhood revitalization

estuary and the convenience of living close to the downtown core. It was located in a diverse neighbourhood and near transportation and recreation. The challenge would be in restoring the building and creating a new reputation for a house that had become synonymous with drugs, violence and sexual exploitation, said the youth services CEO. “If you said the words ‘white house’ to most people who have lived in this community long enough, an image would pop into their heads,” Arnett said. “We promised when we were done with it it wouldn’t be the white house anymore.” It took more than $75,000 in government funding to transform the building into the 14 units of affordable housing for employed youth. Work crews took four bins of garbage out of the house and stripped most of the building down to its studs, leaving only the original wooden floors and the old Edwardian-style banister. A new coat of blue paint hid the white and the building was renamed the Rowe House after
its original owners. In a final act of showing the neighbourhood the building has undergone a physical and spiritual renewal, Arnett had a Snuneymuxw healer cleanse and bless the building. He promised nearby residents the house would start fresh, just like its new tenants. “[The house] started out as quite a prominent location and building in Nanaimo and you feel that when you go in now,” he said. “There is just an ambiance in the house ... it’s full of light when it was full of darkness.” For the neighbourhood – and the RCMP – the new youth housing is anticipated to be a positive change and part of an ongoing effort to revitalize the south end. There has been a movement for close to a decade to take back the neighbourhood from street culture and those who’ve lived and worked in the area say they’ve noticed a shift. The neighbourhood is more connected and engaged in taking ownership of their private property and parks, there’s more live-in
homeowners and more efforts to give street people stable housing, they say. Nanaimo Youth Services Association has added to the transition by turning something dilapidated into something useable, said LaBerge. “I think it’s the best thing to happen for that site and the neighbourhood,” he said. “I don’t know who other than a society with grant funding could see the value into putting that much money [into] fixing up a place as far gone as that [one].” Douglas Hardie, South End Community Association president, and resident Susan Powers, both call the new Rowe House an improvement. Powers is taking a wait-andsee approach to whether it becomes a long-term benefit for the community, but said she hopes it offers the sort of respectability the south end is looking for. Furnished suites will be rented out for $450 and include use of kitchens, bathrooms and showers. news@nanaimobulletin.com
