HAPPY NEW YEAR
The last sunrise over Nanaimo of 2018, as seen from the Harbourfront Walkway. Year-in-review articles were published in the Dec. 27 and Jan. 1 issues of the News Bulletin and can be accessed at www.nanaimobulletin.com/tag/year-2018.
Central Island property assessments keep rising Some parts of the province are seeing property values stabilizing, but not the central Island, based on B.C. Assessment’s calculations. B.C. Assessment’s valuation of homes across the province, based on what was happening in the real estate market as of July 1 this year, was released on New Year’s Day. “It’s a real mix in property value changes, but the market can best be summed up as showing signs of stability across most areas of the province,” said assessor Tina Ireland, in a press release. “Changes in property
assessments really depend on where you live. For example, assessed values for detached single family homes in many areas of Metro Vancouver may see a softening in value, while other markets and areas of the province will see modest increases over last year’s values.” Most of the province outside the Lower Mainland could expect increases of five to 15 per cent for single family home assessed values. This includes Vancouver Island, but in many parts of the central and north Island, values were increasing closer
to 20 per cent. Some Metro Vancouver detached single family homes were showing decreases in value of five per cent to 10 per cent compared to last year. Other areas were relatively stable or showing modest increases. The residential strata market increased with typical values of 10 to 20 per cent across most areas of the province. All B.C. property owners will receive their property assessment notices this month. For more information, visit http://bcassessment.ca.

CHRIS BUSH NEWS BULLETIN
Nanaimo’s Christmas Bird Count tallied lower bird numbers compared to last year, but it’s too early to tell if that was due to fewer birds or bird spotters. Count day happened Saturday, which started out with heavy rain. “We had quite a bit of rain that morning, so we lost a few people, last minute, that decided not to come out in the rain,” said Tanya Seebacher, wildlife biologist and Nanaimo Christmas Bird Count compiler. Seebacher said about 90 bird counters participated and the total number of bird species tallied, as of Monday morning, was 117. In 2017, 122 species were spotted on the main count day, but Seebacher said all the statistics aren’t in yet. “For count week, which is three days before and three days after the count day, we’ve added a couple more species, so we’re at 122, which is essentially what our count day was last year,” she said. In terms of sheer numbers of birds, this year’s count is lower, tallying just 23,784 birds compared to 29,820 in 2017, but again, Seebacher cautions that not all of the statistics for 2018 have come in. She is still waiting for tallies from Gabriola and Mudge islands and fewer counters were able to get out on boats because of bad weather this year to tally birds on small islands off Departure Bay. “We normally have a team that goes out to survey the Entrance Island area and Departure Bay from the water, but they weren’t able to get out this year,” Seebacher said. “We only had one boat that went out, sort of right in the mid-harbour by the estuary and they

“Some people went out owling that evening after the count day and they got two barn owls, which is kind of unusual for the area. They’re pretty elusive, that they got a couple of those was interesting,” Seebacher said. “They hang out in more agricultural areas where you have a lot of old barn structures, actually, but because a lot of the agricultural land has sort of been taken up by housing developments and SHIRIN YOUNESSIAN PHOTO/SUBMITTED Nanaimo Christmas Bird Count volunteers tally up their findings after the count old barns torn down, there’s definitely not as many around at the Bee’s Knees Café. anymore, so it was good to nitely gone up since 1972,” she hear that we still have a couple got a few of the water birds, around.” said. “Dark-eyed juncos, as but definitely our duck and Northern saw-whet owls were well, another little songbird. scoter numbers are a lot lower also spotted in East Wellington.

‘Clean B.C.’ plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. His official response when Clean B.C. was released mildly praised it as “a vital first step” and didn’t mention liquefied natural gas processing or export. The Clean B.C. program depends on long-term projects such as phasing out the sale of all but zero-emission vehicles by 2040, and replacing natural gas for B.C. home heating with electric heat pumps. The plan acknowledges that its proposed measures don’t get B.C. all the way to its latest 2030 emission reduction targets, hammered out earlier as part of the NDP-Green minority support agreement. Despite their enthusiasm for electrifying the B.C. economy, the Greens fought against Site C every step of the way. Weaver continues to argue that the now half-completed third dam on the Peace River should not be built, and distributed small renewable energy projects should be added to the B.C. Hydro grid instead. tfletcher@blackpress.ca “like” us on

Lantzville spent nearly $80K on legal fees last year The District of Lantzville forked out plenty of money for legal expenses last year. According to an in-camera report released on the district’s website, Lantzville spent $78,138 on legal fees in 2018, which is less than the $89,741 they spent in 2017. The majority of the district’s legal costs for 2018 were attributed to general expenses. Lantzville spent $32,994 on general legal expenses,
which includes bylaw review, water issues, tree protection, insurance matters, procedure and policy, according to the report. The district also spent $20,078 on bylaw enforcement, $15,638 on litigation and $6,540 on freedom of information-related matters. Lantzville is currently being sued for negligence by a woman who inadvertently drove her vehicle 20 metres down an embankment after
heavy rains and a landslide had washed out Rumming Road and created a sinkhole last January. The district also sought a court order against Stan Pottie, the owner of property at 7890 Clark Drive West and former mayoral candidate, in 2018. The district previously spent $89,741 on legal fees in 2017, $46,958 in 2016 and $44,979 in 2015. nicholas.pescod@nanaimobulletin.com

Retired police sergeant dies in crash Head-on collision occured Dec. 22 along Cedar Road VIKKI HOPES BLACK PRESS
A retired Abbotsford Police sergeant and former media spokesperson has been identified as the victim of a fatal head-on crash Dec. 22 in Nanaimo. Shinder Kirk was the driver of a Chevy pickup truck that was involved in a collision with a Ford pickup at about 1:50 p.m. on Cedar Road near Cedar Bridge. Nanaimo RCMP said two passengers from the Chevy were airlifted to hospitals in Vancouver and Victoria with non-life-threatening injuries. The 22-year-old male driver of the Ford and his adult female passenger suffered minor injuries that did not require hospitalization. Investigators said they do not believe alcohol or speed were contributing factors. Kirk began his career with the Vancouver Police Department in 1981, moving 10 years later to the Abbotsford

He later became the media spokesperson for the RCMP Integrated Gang Task Force and then the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit.

A high-tech bus shelter pictured last month under construction on Lantzville Road. Ian Savage, who spearheaded the bus shelter project last year before he was elected, said everything is moving along “fabulously” with construction. “We are just putting the finishing

EDITORIAL
New year’s resolutions are always worth a try New year’s resolutions get a bad rap. It’s easy to try and fail and point fingers at ourselves. There are plenty of studies showing peoples’ success rate at sticking to resolutions, and the statistics aren’t pretty. Sometimes we make it hard on ourselves, attempting resolutions that are outside our comfort zone and requiring change we think we want, but may not
always be ready to effect. That doesn’t mean new year’s resolutions can’t work – indeed, at least one study out of a U.S. university found that the success rate of adults who made resolutions was 10 times higher than the success rate of those desiring change who didn’t make resolutions. We can make change any day, but if the idea of a new year offers new motivation,
then we might as well be motivated. And if our resolutions have to do with self-improvement or making our community or the world a better place, then all the days we do succeed should be considered a series of small victories. There are no rules around resolutions and not every one needs to be an everyday effort. We can and we do show the strength of our resolve by making the
right choice at the right time, speaking up at the right moment, seizing the chance to make change when the opportunity is in front of us. Who will any of us be in 2019? We’ll be the same, but a bit older and wiser. And if we want to be better or we want the world around us to be better, we can be the ones to make it happen and we can be the ones to resolve to make it happen.

B.C. GOVERNMENT PHOTO
B.C. Green leader Andrew Weaver and Premier John Horgan autograph a copy of the Clean B.C. plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions over the next two decades, at a Vancouver cabinet office last month. egy? The latest greenhouse gas figures show B.C. emissions increasing. Indeed, the only time they dipped was in a deep world-wide recession that began in late 2008. This is consistent with UN reports that indicate carbon taxes must be vastly greater than what B.C. and lately the rest of Canada have contemplated, to force people off carbon-based fuels. Clean B.C. largely doubles down on familiar strategies that haven’t worked.
‘Low-carbon fuel’ regulations are to be stepped up along with the carbon tax, meaning mainly grain ethanol or recycled cooking oil added to gasoline and diesel. When you count up emissions from growing, harvesting and processing the crops, displacing a small part of petroleum fuel doesn’t add up to much. B.C. is going to electrify its natural gas industry, or at least the new parts of it. As someone who used
to work in a refinery, I’m wondering how remote drill rigs and sour gas processing plants will operate without burning their own gas. Oh, and in Clean B.C., you’ll be discouraged from burning natural gas to heat your home too. You need a heat pump, and the increasing carbon tax you pay will go into subsidies for this technology. Long-time B.C. residents may recall getting a cheque in the mail from the Gordon Campbell government, a ‘climate action rebate’ that arrived not long before the 2009 election. This strategy is going national, coincidentally just in time for the 2019 federal election. Trudeau has said the national carbon tax he is imposing will result in most people being money ahead, as Canada tinkers with annual emissions that amount to a few days worth of China’s output. Happy New Year.

Province shows how not to handle homelessness To the editor, How not to manage a homeless problem – the Nanaimo experience: Wait (do nothing?) until at least 300 individuals have accumulated. Most will be drug addicted and some will also suffer from mental illness. Some will be anarchists. Many will be from other parts of the province and country. Most will lack even basic social skills. Continue waiting while: nearby businesses experience an increase in criminal activity, with some forced to close due to overwhelming theft; people defecate and urinate on sidewalks and store fronts despite portable toilets being brought in; hundreds of used syringes are discarded despite clean needle exchanges being brought in; used condoms appear on sidewalks, store fronts
and alleys. Spend $2 million taxpayer dollars to acquire land that is not on the list of city-recommended properties for supportive housing and does not comply with the official community plan; don’t worry that the land is not zoned for this use; ensure the land acquired is in an established, unsuspecting, quiet, middle-class neighborhood consisting mainly of heritage-style homes and apartment blocks. Ignore frivolous city bylaws such as: permitted zoning uses; density and parking limits; building permits. If you’re going to ignore frivolous city bylaws, why not lease or acquire land in rural or industrial/warehouse type areas? There is lots of this type of land available. It would provide the needed housing while also providing a buffer
thereby giving the homeless individuals time and space to transition to the general community while not exposing the middle-class target neighborhood to the rampant anti-social behaviour. Advise neighbours that B.C. Housing and government officials don’t think their property value will be affected. This should avoid any claims of compensation however it is completely contrary to the opinions of professional property appraisers who have advised neighboring property owners they’ve just taken a massive loss. Do not admit you’ve solved homeless crisis by throwing another neighbourhood ‘under the bus.’ Nobody wants to see people who have found themselves in difficult circumstances suffering
outdoors in the cold and rain. But it is imperative that the help we give these people is done with careful thought and done in a manner that does not devastate another neighbourhood. So do not be fooled by government and social housing advocates who claim ‘wet’ or no-barrier supportive housing plunked into the middle of an unsuspecting, middle-class neighbourhood will have no impact. You do not want this next door. Make sure your doors and windows are locked at all times. Be prepared for trespassers in your yard (especially at night) and it would be a good idea to acquire a sharps container for collecting the used syringes. Try selling your house right next door to this facility (good luck with that). Jeff Moore Nanaimo
8 Compelling Reasons why:
CHRIST IS COMING VERY SOON! Reason #5 ~ Explosion of Travel & Education
Two key conditions described about 2,500 years ago for the Second Coming are that travel and education shall be vastly increased (Daniel 12:4). In all of history, the vast increase in travel has come just since mid-century with the explosion of both ground and air transportation, in education, with the advance of science and computers. (KJV)

While the Red Cross will gladly take volunteers to help in any area, DeMeda said they really need people to fill vacant spaces in the emergency management and health equipment loan programs, adding that volunteers receive training. “We don’t expect people to come in knowing everything. Our training is pretty comprehensive and emergency management includes first aid training,” she said. Emergency management volunteers help individuals in communities following events such as house fires, wildfires or floods. Continued on A11

Continued from A10 DeMeda said emergency management volunteers can serve their local community or be sent to other communities. “We actually deploy the province or even across the country at times,” she said. “So it is kind of a cool op-
portunity to get a bit of travel experience out of community work while still doing some really impactful work.” The Red Cross’ health equipment loan program provides individuals with medical equipment and is supported through provincial health author-
ities according to DeMeda, who said her organization needs volunteers to help deliver medical equipment. “That’s a really great role, you get to know the community,” she said. “It’s very client-facing, you meet a lot of new people and you get to practise

University hearing study seeks participants.
Connect Hearing, with hearing researcher Professor Kathy Pichora-Fuller at the University of Toronto, seeks participants who are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids for a hearing study investigating factors that can influence better hearing. All participants will have a hearing test provided at no charge and if appropriate, the clinician may discuss hearing rehabilitation options including hearing aids. Qualifying participants may also receive a demo of the latest hearing technology. The data collected from this study will be used to further our understanding of hearing loss and improve lifechanging hearing healthcare across Canada. Why participate in the hearing study? Hearing problems typically result from damage to the ear and researchers have spent decades tr y ing to understand the biology behind hearing loss. More importantly, researchers now realize the need to better understand how hearing loss affects your everyday life*.
In this new hearing study, Professor Pichora-Fuller and her team are trying to find out how people learn to live with hearing loss and how new solutions could help these people take action sooner and live life more fully. It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss1, but most do not seek treatment right away. In fact, the average person with hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help2 . This is because at the beginning stages of hearing loss people often find they can “get by” without help, however as the problem worsens this becomes increasingly harder to do. For some people this loss of clarity is only a problem at noisy restaurants or in the car, but for others it makes listening a struggle throughout the entire day. By studying people who have difficulty hearing in noise or with television, we hope to identify key factors impacting these d if f icu lt ies a nd f u r t her understand their influence on the treatment process.
If you are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids, you can register to be a part of this new hearing study† by calling: 1.888.242.4892 or visiting connecthearing.ca/hearing-study.

New bikes go to kids who need them in Nanaimo A brand-new bike under the Christmas tree was on the wish list of a lot of children, and it happened for at least half a dozen kids in Nanaimo. Louis Garneau Sports, through the United Way Central and Northern Vancouver Island, donated 18 bikes to pre-school age children across Canada, with Nanaimo receiving a third of that donation. According to a United Way press
Patrick Burnham of Coal City Cycles, a Louis Garneau retailer, presents Sarah Foster of Boys and Girls Clubs of Central Vancouver Island with bicycles that will be donated to deserving children on behalf of United Way. COAL CITY CYCLES PHOTO
The bicycles will go to children in Nanaimo who access services through either Tillicum Lelum or the Boys and Girls Clubs of Central Vancouver Island. “We decided to do what we could so that at least some children will receive a great bike for Christmas,” said Louis Garneau, president and founder of the cycling apparel and bike manufacturing company, in the press release.
release, Quebec-based Louis Garneau Sports donated half the money from its online sales to the cause on Nov. 28, Giving Tuesday. “Nearly one in four young children in Nanaimo lives in poverty, and this generous donation offers hope and happiness during a challenging time of year,” said Signy Madden, executive director of United Way Central and North Vancouver Island, in a press release.

Abstract group makes Nanaimo debut
Art 16 will show works at Nanaimo Arts Council gallery
Jazz friends share stage on B.C. tour JOSEF JACOBSON NEWS BULLETIN
JOSEF JACOBSON NEWS BULLETIN
The Nanaimo Arts Council gallery’s first exhibition of 2019 is the Nanaimo debut for a new group of mid-Island abstract painters. Ladysmith’s Dennis Brown formed Art 16 just over a year ago with a group of students from his abstract painting workshop at the Ladysmith Waterfront Gallery. Last October the group showed together for the first time for a week in Ladysmith and in January they’re coming together for the second show at the Nanaimo Arts Council gallery. An opening reception takes place on Jan. 10. Brown describes Art 16 as a loose, diverse group of artists hoping to help educate people in the process of abstraction. “A lot of people have difficulty trying to understand what we’re doing and I think it’s up to us as artists to help educate people about what the process is all about,” he said. “And each of us are on our own path doing differ-

Claudia Lohmann’s ‘Observations,’ left, and Dennis Brown ‘Ghosts from my Past’ will be among the works shown at a Nanaimo Arts Council exhibit featuring Art 16. The opening reception is Jan. 10 and the exhibit will remain at the gallery until the end of the month. ent styles … and that’s what I encourage them to do. We’re not doing the same thing over and over again each time. I expect to see progress in myself as well as the other 15.” Those other 15 artists are Ruth Barker, Mark Alan
Davis, Josee Duffhues, Penny Grant, Claudia Lohmann, Cim MacDonald, Jim Montgomery, Deborah Nicol, Julie Ritter, Paulette Roscoe, Ellen Stebb, Barry Strasbourg Thompson, Fran Wilgress and Joanie Winnitoy.
“It’s very motivating if you go with so many different artists in one show because you see really different styles and it makes you want to paint more and explore more,” Lohmann said. “Because I think none of us want to stay where we
are. We all want to get better and improve our work.” Brown said in his first statement to his workshop class, he explained that while realist painting comes from outside, abstract painting comes from within. Continued on A16
Toronto-based jazz drummer Morgan Childs will be starting his 2019 with a string of shows in his home province of British Columbia. After a stop in Vancouver, Childs, who hails from Invermere, heads to Vancouver Island for a show at Nanaimo’s Lighthouse Bistro on Jan. 12 followed by dates in Crofton, Courtenay and Victoria. Childs will be joined by the Vancouver Island trio of Patrick Boyle on trumpet, Ryan Oliver on tenor saxophone and John Lee on bass. He said they’re some of his favourite musicians living on the Island. Both Boyle and Oliver are longtime friends of his and he’s eager to be sharing stages with them. Childs said Lee is an up-and-coming younger musician who brings some “fresh blood” to the quartet. Continued on A16

Jazz quartet plans to have fun
One of Canada’s top stylists
Continued from A14 He said he likes to mix and match players whom he admires, and while they’re all a bit different, they share common threads. Childs said he hasn’t decided what the band will be playing, but said the band’s repertoire will reflect its composition. “The music that I play is always really rooted in straight-ahead swing and jazz,” Childs said. “As a drummer, that’s the stuff that I love playing the most. But with this instrumentation it can go a little bit more towards the avant-garde side at times just because the history is there with that way of playing with that lineup.” Childs said he has the luxury of being able to do whatever he wants. “The idea behind this is I don’t have new album to promote, I don’t have anything to sell anybody,” he said. “I just have bad-ass musicians and we’re going to have a great time.” WHAT’S ON … The Morgan Childs Quartet performs at Simonholt on Jan. 12 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20, available at Simonholt, Fascinating Rhythm, PHOTO COURTESY MARK ROBINSON Arbutus Music, or www.quadwrangleMorgan Childs and his band-mates Patrick Boyle, Ryan music.com. arts@nanaimobulletin.com Oliver and John Lee perform at Simonholt on Jan. 12.

has loose plans and ambitious visions for what he would like to see come of this new collective. “They’re very good people to work with. They all pitch in and do all of the jobs we have to on this exhibit and they’re interested in doing more,” he said. “So, in other words, we’re looking beyond the horizons here of Ladysmith-Nanaimo into Victoria, into Vancouver and ‘dream big’ is
what I’ve told them. ‘Don’t limit yourself.’ That if we ever get to Toronto or New York someday that would really be neat, but ‘don’t stop dreaming’ is really what it’s all about.” WHAT’S ON … Opening reception for About Us by Art 16 takes place at the Nanaimo Arts Council gallery, 8 Wharf St., on Jan. 10 from 7 to 9 p.m. Show continues until Jan. 31. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

He said the Lantzville Rotary Club has become a partner in the project, handling donations so that tax receipts can be issued to those who donate. Savage said numerous people and business from the community have donated time, building supplies or money to the
project, including Dan Fell of Sorensen Trilogy Engineering, who helped design the shelter and waived the all fees associated with his work. “It’s been wonderful, all sorts of residents have pitched in,” Savage said.

Gliege, Helen Christina (nee Sandison)
March 30, 1934 - December 19, 2018 It is with a heavy heart we announce the passing of Helen Christina Gliege on Dec 19, 2018. Helen was a native daughter born in Nanaimo on March 30, 1934. She attended John Shaw high school and graduated in June of 1953. After high school, she began working at Ryan and Company on Fitzwilliam Street and stayed with the company thru its many changes in ownership. She ďŹ nished her working career at Island Radiators Ltd. as their bookkeeper. In October of 1960, she married Richard (Dick) Gliege and they remained together until Dicks passing in May of 1980. Helen was a very adventurous spirit and held her private pilot’s licence during the 1960s and 1970s when it was unheard of for women to have a pilot’s licence let alone ying Cessna’s. She also had her own Motorcycle, which she rode around town, again before women became riders. She told me of her adventure in the 1950s driving her old Hudson up to Whitehorse, YT. The way to convince Helen to do something was to tell her she couldn’t, which worked well on many occasions. Helen was a very private person and unfortunately did not get out much during the last years of her life as she was struggling with Alzheimer’s.

It was the second time Kesa had made it to the high-profile televised national championship tournament, but the first time she made it with her sisters. “It really shows the discipline we’ve put in over the years has reNEWS BULLETIN FILE PHOTO ally, finally, actually paid off,” the skip said. “It’s really nice, because Senior B Nanaimo Timbermen defender Graham Palmer, left, checks St. Albert Miners opponent Mike Triolo during the championlots of teams don’t get that oppor- ship game of the Presidents Cup tournament at Frank Crane Arena. tunity.” challenged us too much,” he said. up to win gold.

T-men return to playoffs The Nanaimo Timbermen went somewhere they hadn’t been in a long time – the playoffs. The senior A T-men earned a post-season berth in the Western Lacrosse Association for the first time since 2007, though they went on to lose their semifinal series against the Victoria Shamrocks, four games to one. The senior A T-men clinched a post-season berth with an 11-6 win against the Coquitlam Adanacs at Frank Crane Arena. “It was huge. It was on everyone’s mind,” said Kaleb Toth, Timbermen coach. Nanaimo finished 10-7-1 in the regular season, establishing a franchise record for wins and allowing the fewest goals against in the league. Drew Belgrave was chosen a first-team all-star, Jordan Gilles and Chase Fraser were second-team all-stars and Toth won Coach of the Year. “We’ve got a little bit of work to do, but we made some great progress this year and hopefully we can continue to grow as a team,” Toth said.

Top juniors stop in town World Junior-level hockey doesn’t come often, so the Czech Republic and Slovakia teams made sure Nanaimo fans got to see as much of it as possible. The two teams played 60 minutes of regulation, five minutes of overtime and a shootout that went seven rounds before the Czechs prevailed 2-1 at a sold-out Frank Crane Arena in December. Jakub Pour scored the winning goal after the shootout turned into a goaltenders’ duel. “It was a great game and I am so happy,” said Lukas Dostal, the winning goalie. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
