Gabriola gun club members hope to rebuild after lawsuit

By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN

Laurie Macdonald, site manager, left, Graeme Logan, licensed practical nurse, Kim Morgan, scheduling clerk, and Karen Shaw, administration assistant, are among staff affected by Island Health’s funding model for Good Samaritan Canada’s Wexford Creek seniors care facility in Nanaimo.

Critics say care model fails patients

I

UNIoNS CLaIM publicprivate partnerships are not viable for health care.

By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN

Island Health’s public-private residential care system isn’t working and care providers and patients are paying the price, critics say.

The Good Samaritan Society recently terminated more than 122 employees at Nanaimo’s Wexford Creek seniors

facility, claiming chronic underfunding from Island Health.

It is not the first facility on Vancouver Island to announce major changes to staff. Within the last six months, New Horizons in Campbell River has issued pink slips to 120 Hospital Employees’ Union members, while 268 were laid off at the recently sold Sundridge Place in Duncan.

All three buildings are part of a public-private partnership Island Health started in 2008.

According to Norm Peters, director of continuing health services contracts with Island Health, it’s not

easy to conclude a seniors’ care provider contracted out services because the health authority isn’t paying it enough. He believes the model is viable, pointing to financial and care successes of Comox Valley Seniors Village, which is a product of a 2008 P3 partnership.

But critics, like Hospital Employees’ Union spokesman Mike Old, say the fact that several facilities on Vancouver Island recently flipped contracts or contracted out services to save money shows just how unviable the model is.

Executives of the Gabriola Rod, Gun and Conservation Club hope members come back to the range after a two-year long legal battle with neighbours is finally over.

The gun club and Gabriola residents reached a settlement agreement this month, ending a civil suit that’s spanned close to two years.

The suit filed in 2012 with the Supreme Court of B.C. against the club and the province, saw 12 people seek interim and permanent injunctions against the use of firearms at the range. They claimed gun noise was causing them mental distress, fear and anxiety.

Court documents show residents are now willing to consider shooting a reasonable use of the property and no longer a nuisance if the club takes action to reduce noise, the hours it’s open and rounds fired.

Resident David Young said they are pleased with the opportunity to work with the club, which has hired an engineer to work on sound mitigation. The only thing the group isn’t happy with is the agreement to call off the lawsuit and never to launch it again, despite not knowing whether measures to quiet gun noise will be successful. It’s a clause “we are worried about,” Young said.

Gabriola Rod, Gun and Conservation Club director Marie Brannstrom says executives on the board are also satisfied with the deal, which offers certainty and a chance for both parties to move on.

The clubhouse needs rebuilding after it was razed in 2012 and executives are looking for a chance to rebuild membership. Range membership took a dive over an earlier decision to eliminate shotgun sports and the conflict with neighbours, falling to 90 people by the end of 2012. The club, opened since 1974, had previously peaked at 160.

Mattress Myths Explained

by John Rogers, President, John’s Bedroom Barn

Myth No 1: No-flip mattresses are best If there is one thing I am absolutely convinced of, it’s that mattresses need to be two-sided so they can be flipped to wear evenly. When I was growing up, mattresses lasted 10, 20 years or more - so why don’t they last like that now?

Well, in that era we built mattresses with brute force, top quality foams and springs, and we made them two-sided so you could turn them over to give one side of the mattress a chance to recover from the use it was given. Mattresses were built to benefit customers by giving them years of comfortable service.

Myth No. 2: Memory foam is the way to go Memory foam can indeed be a way to go, but it’s not be-all and end-all solution to a good night’s sleep. I’m not a fan myself, but I have thousands of clients that love it. Memory foam can be quite warm even though some are touted as being cooler and can breathe – personally, I’ve never found one type cooler than another. Also, not all memory foams are created equal; there are quite a few brand names and types. If you like a soft sink-in feel then it can be OK - as long as it’s not in a no-flip mattress. A big problem with memory foam is that a lot of it is poured offshore, so there are no environmental controls (see Myth No. 3). Another problem with off-shore foam products is that typically they’re compressed to fit into a box or a shipping container – and that’s not good. Foam cells aren’t exactly round – they’re made up of small struts, much like a geodesic dome. So when a foam mattress is machine-rolled or vacuum-packed into boxes or containers, a tremendous number of those struts get damaged. This greatly reduces the elasticity and life of the foam.

Myth No. 3 Foam that off-gasses is no big deal That “new foam smell” is something I hear about a lot.

Foams made offshore have been reported to be very offensive in odor and toxicity. When it comes to imported foam products, there are few restrictions as to how they are made or what they are made with, and few controls on what can be imported into Canada. There are, however, many restrictions guiding what we can make in Canada and the US.

The majority of our foam products and mattresses are tested to extremely high standards. For your family this means: 1. Low VOC’s. Volatile Organic Compounds are a major component of air pollution, and certainly a concern for indoor air quality.

2. Made without ozone depleters. CFC’s (Chlorofluorocarbons) deplete the ozone in the upper atmosphere. That ozone provides a shield from the sun’s energy.

3. No PDBE’s. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers have been linked inconclusively to some chronic illnesses in cats and humans.

4. Produced without lead, mercury and heavy metals. While these aren’t common materials in foam production, they can sometimes be found in some offshore products.

5. No formaldehyde. Need I say more?

6. Made without prohibited phthalates (pronounced “thal’âtes”), that are mainly used as a softening agent in some consumer products.

Myth No. 4: Long warranties are good Repeatedly I hear that “insert brand here” has a 10, 15, 20+ year warranty, but what does that warranty cover? The majority of warranties I’ve seen cover “1 ½ – 2 inches of visible height loss.” A great example of why that type of warranty is a rip-off is an old couch. We’ve all sat on a couch where your knees end up higher than your behind. The cushion has lost all of its ability to hold you up; however it’s still as thick as the day it was made. Look for a realistic warranty that covers excessive softening. Even if the warranty is prorated, it’s still better than “visible height loss.”

Myth No. 5: Made in Canada?

Is it really? Both the furniture and mattress industry are notorious for stretching the truth. Canadian content laws state that if 51% of the product is made in Canada you can use this moniker. As often as not, though, a lot of the furniture and mattress components come from offshore, typically China. A true label would read “51% Canadian, 49% other.”

Trades advisor supports new apprentices

Measles case confirmed in Nanaimo The first case of the measles has been confirmed for the Nanaimo area.

Island Health has confirmed a single case of the measles in the Nanaimo area – the first since 2010. It has health officials urging people to make sure their vaccinations are up to date.

The announcement comes on the heels of a measles outbreak on the mainland, where the Fraser Valley alone has seen 228 cases.

Medical health officer Dr. Paul Hasselback says there is a significant global increase in measles activity, from the Philippines to countries in the Pacific Rim. Fraser Valley is a “specific community situation” and while no link has been confirmed with the Nanaimo case, Hasselback says measles have become a significant issue for people travelling just about anywhere.

Island Health has said the person attends an educational setting, but has not released any further information.

Those exposed to the individual have been identified and contacted.

“We now know we are as susceptible to measles as anybody else and even if we don’t see additional cases related to this case we might see other cases,” Hasselback said. “We have to be prepared and the best way to be prepared is to ensure immunizations are up to date.”

The health authority did not have immunization numbers for the Nanaimo area, but said anywhere from four to five per cent of people choose not to get vaccinations.

Measles are contagious with symptoms that include a fever, cough, red and inflamed eyes and a rash.

In severe cases, symptoms can lead to seizures, deafness and brain damage. The measles vaccine is free to people born after 1970.

Parents of children that need immunizations are being told to contact the Nanaimo Health Unit at 250-755-3342.

New hospital surgical suites aim to cut patient wait times

I

fuNdRaiSiNG camPaiGN begins to raise $1.5 million for renovations.

By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN

Two new operating theatres at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital mean more surgical staff can start working regular day shifts and patients will have shorter wait times for elective surgeries.

The additions to NRGH’s surgical wing were announced at a Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation fundraising campaign kickoff Wednesday morning when the foundation pledged to raise $1.5 million of the $3 million bill to finish the rooms and install surgical equipment.

Island Health will finance $900,000 and the Regional District of Nanaimo is chipping in $600,000.

Completion of the project, estimated to be in September, will bring NRGH’s surgical wing up to 10 operating rooms.

The wing was constructed in 2005 with eight operating theatres, plus two additional rooms roughed in for future expansion.

“We know that our donors also support it,” said Maeve O’Byrne, foundation president. “In fact we have a number of

donors who are literally waiting for this announcement, so that they can make their contribution to the campaign.”

One of the new operating theatres will be used for emergency surgeries and the second used as a “swing room,” where operations can be scheduled in during busy periods when other operating rooms are being cleaned and prepared for new cases. Some surgeries require an hour of cleanup afterward.

Suzanne Vinden, operating room manager, said the operating theatres aren’t intended to increase numbers of procedures – about 14,000 operations per year are performed at NRGH – but will get patients into surgery more quickly and home sooner.

“I think the swing room will actually help us get our existing elective surgeries through in a more timely and efficient manner because in the swing room you can start to get one surgery ready while the other room’s being finished and cleaned,” Vinden said.

Lisa Beeston, operating room charge nurse, said the added facilities will allow surgeons, nurses and other staff and patients to have surgeries performed at appropriate times of day, which will help prevent staff burnout.

Trade apprentices and sponsors in Nanaimo will now have support at the local level, thanks to a new initiative from the Industry Training Authority.

The authority, which manages trades training and certification in the province, is introducing apprenticeship advisors, who will act as an extension of its customer support. Advisors’ duties include offering support, advice and networking opportunities to sponsors and apprentices.

Doug Podetz, apprenticeship advisor for Vancouver Island, said the authority determined a need to have advisors in the field to offer guidance for those involved in trades training. Demand is increasing for construction jobs in the province and on the Island, he said.

“We’ve got a hotel, I believe, that’s going to be constructed here in Nanaimo,” said Podetz. “There are a couple of hospitals that are going to be built on the Island. We’ve got the John i see some heavy Har t project that’s cranking requests from up in Campbell River, so industry to fill certainly the these positions. c o n s t r u c t i o n sector, which includes carpenters, plumbers, electricians particularly, I see some heavy requests from industry to fill these positions.”

Podetz said he is coming across people who have worked in the trades over the years but have never apprenticed or received certification and are looking for ways to acquire refresher programs and certification – he is looking to remedy this.

“I will be doing workshops through various Work B.C. offices,” said Podetz. “I’m going to be working quite closely with the STEP [Skilled Trades Employment Program] office here in Nanaimo to look at setting up refresher courses for these candidates because we want to see more people move through to acquire certification.”

The job market is growing and with the amount of capital investment that is taking place on the Island there is going to be an increase in the need for journeymen on job sites as well as apprentices, he said.

There will also be apprenticeship advisors for the Interior, northeast and northwest regions of the province.

The B.C. Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of the victim of a boating accident on Westwood Lake Tuesday.

Michael Jeffery Little, 63, of Nanaimo, was airlifted to Victoria General Hospital after the boat he and another man were in overturned.

Little, who was under water for several minutes, died in hospital in Victoria Wednesday after efforts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful.

Wrong phone number published An incorrect phone number was published in the Tuesday, April 1 edition of the News Bulletin.

In the story, “Epicurean delights await at restaurant’s opening,” the phone num-

ber for Sushi Eh, an Asian restaurant on Hammond Bay Road, should have read 250390-9882.

Nanaimo Learning Centre, an aboriginal choice school, is hosting public information meetings for potential parents and students.

The meetings provide opportunities for people to hear about development plans for the school and have questions answered.

“This is a project we’re hoping to start in September, which is in essence an

aboriginal-choice school in the city,” said Chris Beaton, Nanaimo Aboriginal Centre executive director. “We’re holding two community information meetings for parents or students interested in the learning centre model, finding out more information and asking some questions.”

Plans call for the learning centre include licenced childcare, early childhood education, a small school program possibly covering Grades K-3 or K-12 and child, youth and family programs.

Review finds value in contract The City of Nanaimo is getting good value for its dollar under a multi-year waterworks contract, according to a new purchasing review.

A recently-released review by KPMG shows Duncan-based Corix Water Products is providing the city with the quality and cost savings the municipality wanted when it inked a fiveyear contract with the company in 2010.

By the end of the agreement, Nanaimo will have spent $6.8 million with Corix on waterworks supplies and saved an estimated $805,000.

Coun. Fred Pattje called the results of The News bulleTiN the review a “good news story” for the city, which tried the Cy Simmons, left, Trevor Greene and Jim Hunter chat following a ceremony Sunday five-year contract afternoon to dedicate an Afghanistan plaque at the cenotaph in downtown Nanaimo. as a new cost-savings strategy.

Care dispute prompts calls for intervention

I

WExford CrEEk considers facility’s future in Nanaimo.

By TaMaRa CunninghaM The News BulleTiN

The Good Samaritan Society is calling for the B.C. government to intervene in a residential care dispute with Island Health.

The Good Samaritan Society has asked the B.C. Ministry of Health to take on oversight of its contract for Wexford Creek in Nanaimo, claiming Island Health has breached its funding requirements.

The move comes on the heels of an announcement by the organization that it has terminated more than 122 employees at its seniors’ facility because of chronic underfunding from the health authority. It also plans to rethink its future, from its business model to the potential of selling the facility.

According to Shawn Terlson, CEO and president of the Good Samaritan Society, Island Health’s contribution hasn’t changed in six years despite rising costs of accommodation, wages and benefits.

The organization has seen its bill for direct care rise $900,000 over its $4.1-million proposal in 2008.

The local health authority also pays for less than its counterparts, offering $170.68 daily per resident, compared to $179.30 given to the society by Vancouver Coastal Health and $173.61 by Interior Health.

The not-for-profit recently presented Island Health with an operational review that asked for a $710,000 boost to base funding, but the health authority says it’s up to the organization to find those cost savings.

Norm Peters, director of continuing health services contracts with Island Health, says business choices have affected the not-for-profit’s ability to balance its budget, including its decision to pay master collective agreement wages to employees. The health authority believes there are opportunities to save, including contracting out food services and housekeeping, but Peters said the concern is the Good Samaritan Society isn’t willing to consider the measure and is “looking to us to just give them additional funding.”

Island Health is not contemplating a funding hike at this time.

“The difficulty is the funding that we would provide would not give the residents more care, it wouldn’t pay the staff more money and we’d have to find those resources somewhere else,” Peters said.

“Right now our position is that there are things they can do internally as a result of their business decisions and that those things need to be considered first.”

Terlson, however, says cost-cutting measures suggested by Island Health would have only saved $156,000 against their $700,000 request to stay in business long-term.

The recent decision to terminate employees and casual workers and offer new terms, including a 3.5per cent salary rollback, will amount to savings of $482,000.

Of the Good Samaritan’s 32 facilities, this is the only one to have problems, according to Terlson, who says the funding model isn’t working.

Staff will now look at ways for Wexford Creek to stay viable. news@nanaimobulletin.com

MLA expenses must be public B.C. Finance Minister Michael de Jong took a trip to India last year, one that involved government business and personal time.

De Jong paid the personal-time portion of the trip’s cost – and he did so willingly and immediately, not after being caught spending public dollars.

Other politicians would be wise to emulate de Jong the next time they jump on a plane on the taxpayers’ dime.

Liberal MLA Linda Reid and NDP MLAs Jenny Kwan and Raj Chouhan have all pledged to repay thousands of dollars they used in travel costs.

Kwan’s trips to Disneyland and Europe were paid for by government funds given to the Portland Hotel, while Reid and Chouhan billed taxpayers so their spouses could travel with them to South Africa.

First of all, provincial politicians make more than enough money to cover the cost of bringing their spouse with them on trips. An MLA’s base salary of $100,000-plus places them in the ‘wealthy’ echelon.

Second, these scandals remind us that MLAs should be posting online, for everyone to see, detailed receipts showing how they are spending our money.

De Jong said the scrutiny into Reid’s travel costs is warranted.

“Politicians have to ask themselves whether or not the money, the public dollars that they are spending, are being spent in a defensible manner,” the finance minister said.

We would add that politicians also have to demonstrate, via an unfettered process of presenting their spending habits, that public money is being spent wisely.

A good first step would be to simply post online every receipt of every public expenditure.

It’s done in Alberta. It can and should be done here.

How could any MLA of any stripe possible object to true transparency?

Re: Hydro meters a health hazard, Letters, April 3.

The radio-frequency signals B.C. Hydro’s smart meters use to communicate are safe.

The signals are similar to those used for decades by televisions, radios and other common household devices. After decades of research, health authorities have confirmed that there are no demonstrable health effects from exposure to low-level radio frequency signals, and B.C.’s Provincial Health Officer, Health Canada and the World Health Organization have all confirmed that wireless meters pose no known health risks.

B.C. Hydro’s smart meters have been independently tested and were shown to communicate for about 1.4 seconds per day at a signal strength less than 0.5 per cent of Health Canada’s Safety Code 6, the official radio frequency exposure limit within Canada.

To put this into context, passengers taking the ferry between Horseshoe Bay and Departure Bay are exposed to the equivalent of 35 years’ worth of B.C. Hydro smart meter radio frequency in a single hour-and-40-minute journey.

repairs, the group has repeatedly told council it’s a city building, therefore the city’s responsibility. Council long ago should have pulled the plug on anybody with such a demeanour of entitlement.

Just because council recently passed a six-year cultural plan does not mean the city and its taxpayers need to shell out more money and extended leases just because a group threatens to walk. Thankfully, this time, the city did not give in to blackmail.

Funding boost needed, says union From /1

Massive staff turnovers also affect the economy, job stability and seniors, who lose consistency in care, they say, adding it’s time for the health authority to consider changes to its model for residential care.

“Clearly the model is not working,” Old said. “Vancouver Island Health Authority has a responsibility to deliver care, to monitor the care being delivered in these facilities, but their message seems to be pay the workers less money because we are not prepared to fund you at adequate levels and that’s really unacceptable because it’s causing such chaos on the ground in these facilities, for the seniors who live there.”

Island Health recently came under fire by the Good Samaritan Society, which said it is not providing adequate funding for residential care. The not-for-profit says it has lost millions because of chronic underfunding, prompting it to call for a $710,000 boost to its base budget.

Island Health has refused, putting the responsibility to

find cost efficiencies in the hands of the Good Samaritan Society.

But when P3 providers are struggling across Vancouver Island, Terlson questions how much responsibility Island Health should take.

Critics with the province’s health-care unions say it’s time for change.

Affiliate and private facilities across B.C. are contracting out labour as they look to manage budgets, which decreases morale among staff and prevents consistency in care for seniors, according to Jo Salken, Pacific Rim regional chairwoman for the B.C. Nurses Union.

The issue, she said, can be traced to the B.C. government which is providing less to health authorities for services, prompting everyone to search for efficiencies.

Recent staff turnovers are the next phase and “everybody is kind of following suit and going yeah, we need to contract out services because we just can’t afford the labour,” Salken said, adding the recent layoffs on Vancouver Island could be just

the start.

Old is also concerned about seniors’ care, pointing out that consistent care is linked to quality of life for seniors who rely on health-care workers to address intimate daily needs. He is also “appalled” Island Health has proposed contracted care as a costcutting measure to Wexford Creek.

“Clearly they are trying to save money at the cost of seniors’ care,” he said, adding the authority should monitor its model, reconsider building more P3 facilities and look at running facilities itself. “Right now the health authority has basically washed its hands of responsibility for what is actually going on. They are just telling these businesses that they’ve contracted with to deliver their care, to cut their costs through contracting out. It’s not really a solution at all.” news@nanaimobulletin.com

“No one wants to go up to a range when it’s under a lawsuit for nuisance ... some members have been staying away just waiting for whether or not this is settled,” said Brannstrom, who hopes the club can rebuild relationships.

The changes required under the new agreement will see the club invest in sound abatement, including those recommended by an acoustic engineer.

The club will also construct a pistol shed with built-in sound mitigation measures, close twice a week and restrict centrefire firearms to 50 rounds a day.

Nanaimo hospital awarded for energy conservation

savINgs add up to more than $65,000 annually.

Going green is saving Nanaimo Regional General Hospital’s emergency department an estimated $65,000 a year.

B.C. Hydro recently awarded Island Health’s NRGH emergency department with recognition for its energy conservation measures, which is saving one million kilowatt hours and approximately $65,000 each year.

Since opening in October 2012, the department has used natural lighting, low-flow water fixtures and a thermal energy system to heat and cool the

building. An energy study and business case for energy initiatives was also created thanks to $451,000 in incentives from B.C. Hydro’s New Construction Program.

“B.C. Hydro has been instrumental in providing the incentives and resources to help us design and build a better building, which will help meet the ambitious targets for carbon reduction set out by the provincial government,” said Deanna Fourt, director of energy efficiency and conservation for Island Health. “We all want cost-effective buildings that have lower environmental impacts because the buildings we create today will impact our community for the next 50 years or longer.”

Climate action grant returned to city A grant from the provincial government returned thousands of dollars to Nanaimo area as part of the Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program.

The City of Nanaimo received $126,428, while the Regional District of Nanaimo was granted $112, 558.

As a signatory of the Climate Action Charter, local governments received a grant through

the incentive program to support the community’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and work toward their Climate Action Charter goals.

Communities that signed the Climate Action Charter and report publicly on their progress toward meeting their climate action goals are eligible to receive a grant equivalent to 100 per cent of the carbon tax they pay directly.

CHAN HON GOH leads master class in ballet to teach younger generation what she learned in dance.

BY NICHOLAS PESCOD THE NEWS BULLETIN

When Chan Hon Goh walked off an airplane and entered the terminal at Vancouver International Airport she found herself in a world so vastly different from anything she had ever known.

“I came to Canada without speaking a word of English,” Goh said. “I just got dropped into a whole new environment where the language was new, the food was new, everybody was new and everything was new. It was a huge culture shock and a huge growing experience.

I think I grew up fast.”

Goh was only eight years old when she arrived from China with her family in 1976. At the time, her parents, Choo Chiat Goh and Lin-yee Goh, were both principal dancers in the National Ballet of China when political unrest caused them to relocate to British Columbia.

“We happened to rent a house in a primarily white neighbourhood and

I was the only Chinese child in my grade,” Goh said. “What I brought to school for lunch was new for them.”

Goh’s parents settled in Vancouver’s Dunbar neighbourhood, where they established the Goh Ballet Academy. When Goh was nine years old she began dancing and quickly embraced the art form.

“That was an area where I could really feel the freedom to express myself without any hindrance at all,” she said.

“I just found the concentration and the ability to move to the music was something so beautiful and was something that I just couldn’t get enough of.”

Since then, Goh went on to have an illustrious dance career that lasted for more than 20 years. During that time, she became a principal dancer with the National Ballet of Canada in Toronto, where she danced in prominent roles in Giselle, Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty.

Goh is also the first Cana-

“I think my entire dance career was full and I enjoyed every season

role and how they are doing it today into their future,” Goh said.

Goh said that while she dreamed of pursuing a career in dance she never felt pressured by her parents.

“I think they felt like that because they were both so involved in dance that they wanted to make sure that my world wasn’t always about dance. They really made an effort for me to learn about different things.

They started me in piano lessons and singing lessons and after-school activities,” she said.

Goh recalled how she felt that she had to grow up quickly during her first couple of years in Canada, adding that she knew she wanted to make the most out of her life.

“I say I grew up quickly because I quickly learned how important it was to stay afloat and fight remarks of racism,” she said. “It was very important to be somebody in this world and not be looked down upon. That first year was a huge adjustment.”

Diamond Jubilee medal recipient became the director at the Goh Ballet Academy in 2010. Goh will be at Kirkwood Academy in Nanaimo on Sunday (April 13) at 10 a.m. to mentor young dancers as part of a nationwide master class series.

“I have now retired from the stage for five years and my primary duty is mentoring our younger generation of dancers,” Goh said. “So, I am really looking to being in the classroom with these young aspiring dancers and passing on some of the artistic nuances and artistic experiences that have really shaped my career.”

Goh is hoping her students at Kirkwood Academy will walk away from the master class with an uninhibited approach to their dancing.

“It is a short segment and I am sure there is going to be a lot to talk about and a lot to get through, I am hoping they will … take it a step further than just the steps.

Martial art study connects band

I

NiNJASPy PERFoRmS at Cavallotti hall.

By Nicholas Pescod The News bulleTiN

When singer Joel Parent started ninjutsu training in 2008 he began to make deep connections between the art of ninjutsu and his own band.

“After we named the band Ninjaspy I really wanted to validate that name. You know there are a lot of bands that are silly and call themselves ‘ninja’ this or ‘ninja’ that and they really don’t know anything about it, which is fine because ninjas are silly,” Parent said.

“The modern image of the ninja is ridiculous and totally overblown in comic books but there is this other side that most people don’t know about.”

After a year of training with his dojo in Vancouver, Parent decided to take his art form to the next level by travelling to Japan where he studied under the sensei of the nine surviving schools of Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu.

“I wanted to bring some authentic ninja-ness into the band,” Parent said.

“So going to Japan took my training to a new level. I trained with a 77-year-old grandmaster and it was a huge philosophical leap. There is so much more to it

than killing people. It totally feeds Ninjaspy ideologically.”

Ninjaspy, which includes Parent’s younger brothers Adam and Tim, originally started out under the name Triad in Blood in 1999 and switched to their current name in 2007.

T h e Va n c o u v e r based metal band will be performing in Nanaimo at Cavallotti Lodge on Friday (April 11) as part of a Western Canadian tour. Although Ninjaspy is listed as a metal band they draw from a wide range of genres, including reggae.

“The main idea for Ninjaspy stylistically was to draw the rhythmic parallels between metal, reg-

gae, and hardcore, surf style, and drum and bass dance music because the way I felt about all those genres is rhythmically they are all very similar and they all cater to the high energy and just going crazy so to me it made perfect sense.”

Parent said the band’s new yet-to-betitled album, which will include songs written years ago, will blend a lot of their influences together.

May 3, 1946 - March 29, 2014

Brian was born in Nanaimo where he grew up with his family and went to school. Brian married his wife Penny and raised his five children in Cedar. He will be sadly missed by so many hearts he has touched. He was a devoted loving husband, father and friend.

With a magnetic smile and humour he was always happy. Brian was always there to lend a hand when needed. His love for outdoors always fishing, looking for his yearly hunting trip with his sons. Telling stories, laughing and joking. You will always be in our hearts xoxo.

Predeceased by his parents John and Lavina Neil and sister, Karen. Brian is survived by his wife of 45 years, sons and daughters: Tina (Paul), Gordon (Wendy), Garth (Monica), Leah (James), Mary (Ray), George (Rosemary).

Grandchildren: Bailey, Darien, Isaiah, Troy, Mary Jane, Raymond, Annabelle, Brian, John, Jolie and Gunner, Nolan. Brother John and sisters, Marilyn and Susan and extended family.

St. Michael’s Hall

January 17,1949 ~ March 25, 2014 On Tuesday March 25, Shirley passed away peacefully with her family at her side. Shirley showed tremendous strength and courage despite being diagnosed with cancer two years ago. Her love of horses, family, and friends kept her living life to its fullest. She will be deeply missed for her quick wit, laughter and generous spirit. She is predeceased by her mom and dad, Ruth and Bill, her sister Judy and her daughter Ruby Ruth.

She is survived by her loving husband Danny, son Daniel (Mary), daughters Marjorie (Nicholas) and Veronica, brothers Pat (Kathy) and William (Maureen), five grandchildren, five great grandchildren, and many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. We cannot begin to express our gratitude for the warm and loving support of Shirley’s many good friends. We would also like to thank NRGH nurses, doctors and hospice friends in the Palliative Care Unit for their kindness and dedication to caring not only for Shirley, but for her family and friends too. For this we are very grateful.

A memorial trail ride to celebrate the life of this amazing woman will be announced at a later date.

The most effective way to reach an incredible number of BC Sportsmen & women.

Engineering students test skills with sticks

ChaLLeNGed TO replace iconic bridge.

First-year engineering students at Vancouver Island University are building model bridges with popsicle sticks to test their design skills – and now they want the public to help choose a winner.

In a friendly competition, 11 teams in Brian Dick’s Engineering Design II class have been creating model bridges to replace the Johnson Street bridge spanning Victoria’s Inner Harbour.

Their creative bridge designs will be on display Friday (April 11) in the upper cafeteria (building 300) at VIU’s Nanaimo campus from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The public is invited to stop by and celebrate the achievements of these engineering students and provide

feedback on how well they met their design objectives.

“The goal is to build a structure that autonomously detects boat traffic, and opens the bridge deck to allow passage,” said Dick, chairman of VIU’s Department of Physics, Engineering and Astronomy. “The system must also control vehicle traffic travelling over the bridge and close the bridge deck after the boat has passed.”

Local engineers, the public, and staff, students and faculty at VIU are being asked to rank each of the bridge structures in terms of what bridge design best represents innovation and practicality. They will also be asked overall which bridge design best represents a suitable replacement for the Johnson Street bridge.

Students will receive marks based on this feedback.

Home openers end with walk-off wins Inbrief I sports

VIBI MARINERS come through in clutch situations.

BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

THE NEWS BULLETIN

VIBI Mariners first baseman Steve McKinnon can’t quite stretch to snag a throw to first during Sunday’s game.

The VIBI Mariners won on the last pitch of the game twice in one day.

Nanaimo’s Vancouver Island Baseball Institute split a four-game series against the University

of Calgary Dinos on the weekend at Serauxmen Stadium, but Saturday’s home openers were something special.

The M’s won the first game 4-3 in the 11th inning on Connor Merilees’s walk-off RBI single. In the second game of the doubleheader, the home team erased a 5-2 deficit, scoring four runs in the bottom of the ninth including Steve McKinnon’s two-RBI walk-off single.

“You’ve got to have positive thoughts, you’ve got to stick with the plan, you’ve got to rely that things will work out,” said Jordan Blundell, VIBI manager. “As a group, I thought they did a good job staying positive and expecting success when it’s easy to doubt yourself.”

In three of the games on the weekend, the Mariners amassed 10 or more hits.

Ultimate Frisbee played uptempo at Udderbowl It’s a tournament like no udder.

Nanaimo’s Udderbowl tournament this past weekend marked the start of ultimate Frisbee season in the city.

The tourney, hosted by the Nanaimo Ultimate Association at the McGirr Sports Fields, attracted teams from as far away as Seattle.

“I think it went really well,” said Allison Schein, one of the association’s directors. “We got feedback from some of the visiting teams that they had a lot of fun here.”

Stache, a team from Vancouver, won the A pool, defeating Victoria’s Ultimate Ninjas. The B pool final involved two other Vancouver teams, with Cow Cow Ka-Pow beating Like a Simile.

Milk Truck, a Seattle entry, won Udderbowl’s Spirit Award.

The Nanaimo Ultimate Association is now looking for newcomers to sign up for a summer league that starts in May. For more information, please visit www.nanaimoultimate.ca. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

The Nanaimo Clippers added an American player who they think will be able to help them in one season in the BCHL. The Clips announced last week the signing of Cole Maier, a 6-foot-1, 190-pound forward from Pequannock, N.J. The 19-year-old attended Taft prep school, where he captained his team and scored 11 goals and 29 points in 24 games. He has already secured an NCAA Div. 1 scholarship to Union College.

In other Clippers news, 19-year-old forward Mason Mitchell will not be back for another season, as he has accepted a scholarship to the University of Anchorage for the coming fall.

Volunteer gains satisfaction by helping others

I

have the same idea about volunteering,” Lannuzel said. “Volunteering is not as big as it is in North America, generally speaking. I don’t know if it’s because we’re culturally different – it might also have a religious aspect to it – but I think in France particularly we expect the government to do much more for the people than here, where it’s more like, let’s take care of business ourselves instead of waiting for help. So here people tend to gather together and help each other more. I think there is a bigger sense of community in North America and Canada than there is in Europe.”

The payoff from volunteering for Lannuzel is the sense of personal growth he derives from helping other people. He also gets the chance to meet people he might not otherwise associate with and gets their perspectives on life and the world in which they live.

“We tend to be so selffocused and volunteering gives you the opportunity to focus on other people and I think that’s what I like about it,” Lannuzel said. “It’s also a humbling experience because you are in a serving position and I found that also good for the soul in some ways.”

Lannuzel is just one of Nanaimo’s hundreds of volunteers being honoured during National Volunteer Week (April 6-12) when the Nanaimo Volunteer and Information Centre Society hosts its 19th annual volunteer

FOOd BANK helped by Ronan lannuzel.

By Chris Bush The News bulleTiN

Graphic designer Ronan Lannuzel took the scenic route, one might say, to a point in his life where found himself volunteering with Loaves and Fishes Community Food Bank.

Lannuzel, raised on the Ivory Coast and schooled in France, emigrated for work in Dublin, Ireland, for two years before finally coming to Nanaimo in 2001 and eventually opening his own design studio in 2004.

For the past 18 months Lannuzel has volunteered for Loaves and Fishes Community Food Bank, sorting food and beverages in the food bank’s warehouse Mondays and Wednesdays when the food is distributed.

Lannuzel used to watch the food bank’s activities at its headquarters on Farquhar Street from a nearby apartment building in which he lived. He stopped by to get information for a friend, and through talking with Peter Sinclair, the food bank’s executive director, he found they were looking for volunteers.

“I realized there is a big need to fill people’s basic needs,” he said.

Lannuzel, 39, is one of more than 400 volunteers who donate their time and skills to help sort, process and distribute

The Nanaimo and District BC SPCA would like to thank its many volunteers and foster families for all the hard work they have put in throughout 2013 and into 2014.

Without help from these wonderful people we would not be able to provide the level of care that we do for our more than 1200 animals that we took into care last year. To our dogwalkers, cat and small animals carers, foster families and to those who simply help us maintain and clean the shelter we thank you. The donation of one’s time is such a valuable and selfless act and we so appreciate all of you. You make our job much easier.

To show our appreciation we will be hosting a volunteer appreciation picnic (meat-free) on Sunday April 13 between noon - 3 pm at Westwood Lake. There will be delicious sandwiches, wonderful salads, desserts and refreshments available all free of charge! We invite all of our volunteers to join us!

Cutting weeds helps build community

I

STEPHENSON POINT neighbourhood helps control spread of spurge laurel.

BY KARL YU THE NEWS BULLETIN

G

ood neighbours can have a positive influence on the lives of a street’s residents and that is what a group from Stephenson Point Road is trying to do.

The Stephenson Point Neighbourhood Association has done a lot of work removing invasive plants that have been overwhelming the area and nearby Planta Park.

Most recently, it has been removing the spurge laurel (Daphne laureola), a noxious weed that resembles the rhododendron plant, that is considered a threat to Nanaimo.

According to the Invasive Species Council of B.C., its bark and berries contain toxins and it is known to irritate the skin, cause nausea and even send people into a coma. It can limit the growth of native plants if allowed to grow unhampered.

According to volunteer Gary Smart and association treasurer Sandra Sauer, work parties organized over the last two years removed spurge laurel from the sides of streets and wooded areas – no easy task considering how it can overwhelm an area.

“It’s pretty major. There’s a lot of it,” Sauer said. “You want to get it before it goes to berry in June, so it’s starting to bloom now. It’s easy to pick so this is the time to get it.”

Smart says the spurge laurel seems to expand when cut and some plants are hard to remove.

“You can’t pull that out,” Smart said.

“It has to be dug out ... I know from personal experience in my own yard.

I’ve gone out there and if you cut it, it’s coming back.”

KARL YU/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Sandra Sauer, treasurer for the Stephenson Point Neighbourhood Association, removes invasive spurge laurel from an area in her part of town.

Members get together with gloves and tools, creating an aspect of fellowship out of the tedious task.

“We try to incorporate a lunch, a social, at the end of the work party,” said Sauer.

“We try to keep the work parties relatively short so nobody gets exhausted or bored. You get in there, do the job and you have a social and get to know each other.”

Smart said getting to know the

neighbourhood’s residents can be beneficial too.

“It’s getting to know neighbours ... in case of emergency, anything like that that happens, you know who’s elderly, it’s a bonding thing that happens and you get to know that they’re just like you, or if they’re not like you, and that’s a real win-win part of it, too,” he said.

It’s about connecting and creating community so neighbours can help

each other, according to Sauer.

“I don’t think I would do this if they asked me to go down to another part of the city and pull Daphne,” said Smart. “It’s because it’s my community, it’s my park, it’s almost stewardship. This is where I live.”

“We’ve taken out so much, it’s just amazing and actually you can see, where you can look and you don’t see any Daphne now,” said Sauer. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Superstore hosts spring food drive to help hungry in Nanaimo

Haven wins VIU business challenge

Loblaw kicked off its Extra Helping Spring Food Drive which runs until April 24.

Food banks provide neighbours in need with food essentials. To help address the need for donations, Loblaw is calling on the B.C. community to donate nonperishable food items and money

International students in Vancouver Island University’s master of business administration program donated $3,100 they raised in a competitive fundraising challenge to Nanaimo’s Haven Society.

The class of 90 students rose to the annual MBA Team Fundraising Challenge issued by Dave Twynam, dean of the faculty of management when their program started in Januar y. Breaking into three teams, they developed fundraising initiatives that included a rose sale on Valentine’s Day, a Valentine’s dance at The Cambie, raffle ticket sales, and an international buffet.

Twynam suggested Haven Society as the beneficiary for the fundraising efforts, and joined students, faculty and Haven Society at a reception in March to celebrate the winning team.

The Haven Society will use the money in its work to support and promote the safety of women and children in Nanaimo and area.

at checkout counters at Real Canadian Superstore locations.

“We believe we have a responsibility to help in the fight against hunger across the B.C. community,” says Carlo Fierro, store manager of Real Canadian Superstore. “With the support and generosity of our customers and

colleagues, we know we can make a difference for those in need at Food Banks B.C.” According to Food Banks B.C., an estimated 94,000 residents – 30 per cent of them children – rely on a food bank in an average month across the province.

All food donations and 85 per

cent of cash donations will go directly to food banks across B.C., while the remaining 15 per cent of donated cash will support provincial food bank programs.

Loblaw Companies Ltd. and its banner stores hope to raise $1.8 million and 810,000 kilograms (1.8 million pounds) of food in 2014.
