Firefighters from Lantzville Volunteer Fire Department and Nanaimo Fire Rescue hose down a truck destroyed by fire that was parked in the driveway of a house on Clark Drive Thursday afternoon. A neighbour burning weeds in his own driveway accidentally caught the hedges adjacent to the truck on fire. The fire spread to the truck and nearly to the house before firefighters caught it.
Truck destroyed in blaze sparked by torch By Jenn M c GarriGle The News BulleTiN
A fire that destroyed a Lantzville man’s truck, some hedges and damaged his house Thursday afternoon was caused by a spark from his next door neighbour’s tiger torch. Chris Cutler was burning weeds in his driveway on Clark Drive around lunchtime when he said a spark caught tall cedar hedges, bordering his property, on fire. He said in the five seconds it took for him to grab the garden hose on hand, the fire had spread right to the top of the hedges. “I had a hose, water with me,
but I couldn’t control it,” said Cutler. From the hedges, the blaze spread quickly to his neighbour’s work truck and then, as the truck was parked right next to the house, began melting the siding on the house. The Lantzville Volunteer Fire Department received the call at about 12:45 p.m. and was on scene just before 1 p.m., assisted by a crew from Nanaimo Fire Rescue. Deputy fire chief John Marment said if firefighters arrived much later, the house would have been on fire – the siding was just starting to melt when crews got there.
He said while the neighbour did not violate any burning bylaws, volunteer firefighters rely on the common sense of citizens. “The guy took all the necessary precautions, but it still happened,” said Marment. “It has been dry for quite a while.” The truck destroyed was a work vehicle with tools and a diesel fuel tank in the back. Owner John Dunbar was upset about the loss of the truck, but looking on the bright side. “I’m just glad the house didn’t burn,” he said. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com
Two Nanaimo residents were recently fined for illegal dumping offences. Last December, the Regional District of Nanaimo announced that dumping charges were laid against two individuals – the first under the district’s Waste Stream Management Licensing Bylaw, which was created in 2004. Under the bylaw, violators could face fines of up to $200,000. On May 7, Nikki Deer pleaded guilty to an offence occurring on or around Aug. 1, 2012, and received a $400 fine. On June 3, Richard Sitar pleaded guilty to an offence occurring on or around May 30, 2012, and received a $2,000 fine. Maude Mackey, the regional district’s Zero Waste compliance officer, said the district goes through a progressive enforcement process where staff first try to get people to clean up the mess before taking them to court. “If we can’t work with those individuals and get them to see they’ve made a huge mistake and to go clean it up, then we will be taking them to court,” she said. Mackey expects more people will receive fines under the bylaw.
“Illegal dumping is nothing new,” she said. “It happens and will continue to happen because it’s a lifestyle and a mentality. If you don’t manage it, it will just get worse and worse.” The recent imposing of fines gives credibility to the bylaw and reinforces to the general public that the regional district will do what it can to stop illegal dumping, Mackey said. Although illegally dumped material makes up less than one per cent of the solid waste generated in the regional district, it can have serious effects on the environment, wildlife habitat and the ability of community members to use and enjoy outdoor recreational areas. “It’s an ugly blight on the landscape with many unforeseen impacts,” said Mackey. The RDN is taking several steps to combat and prevent illegal dumping, including funding the clean-up of disposal sites and carrying out surveillance, prevention, education and enforcement activities. Enforcement actions are largely dependent on information received from the community. To report illegal dumping in the RDN, please call 250-3906560 or 1-877-607-4111. To report illegal dumping in the City of Nanaimo, please call 250-758-5222. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Volunteers battle invasive broom I
MASSIVE AMOUNTS of plants picked up in May campaign. By ToBy Gorman The News BulleTiN
The month-long battle against scotch broom is over, but the war will continue in an effort to eradicate the invasive species and others like it. On Thursday, city officials, community volunteers, and organizers of Invasive Plant Awareness Month, held over May, gathered for a post-mortem of their efforts. The result was a massive pile of cut broom at the Nanaimo Fire Rescue training facility, where it was being chipped by Davey Tree Services before being trucked to Harmac mill to be burned. Volunteer Judy Borserio, who estimates she spent about 40 hours in May cutting broom, said a community effort to control the rapidly spreading invasive plant can go a long way in reducing it. “It’s amazing what you can do in two hours,” she said. “And most of us out there removing it aren’t young. But if we really
want to stop the spread of this we’re going to need a lot more people to help next year. ” A total of about 200 volunteer person hours in eight work parties went into clearing areas infested with broom, most of it along the Parkway Trail and Railway Avenue. Volunteer crews in Lantzville cleared an area at Superior and Ware roads, and vow the small municipality will be broom-free in two years. About 20 students in Dover Bay Secondary School’s Eco Club also helped out. “We’re cutting it down faster than the broom is spreading,” said Joanne Sales, director of Broom Busters, a volunteer group with the single mandate of eliminating the plant. Removing scotch broom is over for the season as the plant has now stopped blooming and is entering its seeding stage. The plant, with its bright yellow flowers and coarse green branches, dominates indigenous vegetation in many areas in the mid-Island region. It is toxic to most animals – deer may give it a nibble but always resort to feeding on the grass around it – and it provides no habitat for animals. Rob Lawrance, the city’s

Davey Tree Services employees Matthew McDonald, left, and Tyler Haslam begin chipping a large pile of scotch broom at the Nanaimo Fire Rescue training centre Thursday. The broom was collected during Nanaimo’s Invasive Plant Awareness Month, designed to educate the public on the consequences of invasive species.
environmental planner, said the intention of Invasive Plant Awareness Month is to educate the public on the drawbacks of invasive plants. “I sometimes have people tell me that these invasive plants thrive because it’s just survival of the fittest, but the reality is that they create a loss of biodiversity and that there is a deeper story, which is why there is a concern and we have to manage them,” said Lawrance.
The city’s parks, recreation and culture department worked with the planning department and Broom Busters to organize Invasive Plant Awareness Month. Drop-off locations were provided by Woodgrove Centre, Nanaimo North Town Centre and Nanaimo Recycle Exchange. “It was a great community effort and of course we thank all of the volunteers and organizations that helped out,” said Deborah Beck, recreation coordinator for parks and rec.
English ivy, daphne, Himalayan blackberry, and giant hogweed are other species being targeted for removal. Lawrance added next year’s Invasive Plant Awareness Month will likely focus on English ivy, which chokes out natural vegetation including large trees.

Participants, volunteers up all night during annual cancer society fundraiser By Jenn mcGarriGle The News BulleTiN
Cancer never sleeps, as those fighting the disease know only too well. And so neither will those gathered at the Rotary Bowl off Wakesiah Avenue next weekend for the Canadian Cancer Society’s annual Relay for Life event. From 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., teams will camp out and take turns doing laps around the track, honouring those who lost their battle with cancer and celebrating alongside others who survived their fight. “It’s quite an experience,” said Linda Tesser, community giving
coordinator for the south Island the morning. Tesser said there with the Canadian Cancer Soci- will be also be plenty of food for ety. “It’s an opportunity for you participants, including a midto share a journey you’ve had night meal supplied by Panago with cancer with others who and breakfast by Thrifty Foods have had similar expeand Cobs Bread. riences.” Just prior to the So far 40 teams of relay is a dinner for eight-15 people have survivors starting at signed up and teams 6 p.m., supplied by can register all the way Coco Café, and then up to the day of the the event opens with a event; those who simspeech from a cancer ply want to come check survivor, followed by it out are also welcome. a survivor victory lap Tesser said the event around the track. includes three ceremo- DAlE MlAzgAR The somber part of nies interspersed with the evening – the lumifun activities – a blues band will nary ceremony – takes place at play until 11 p.m. and then a DJ 10 p.m. Decorated bags containtakes over, spinning tunes into ing tea lights are placed along

Dale Mlazgar, a member of the relay organizing committee and team captain, said this is the most poignant part of the evening for her, as it reminds her why she is there – she has lost her mother, father, best friend and a co-worker to cancer. Losing so many people close to her has left a huge hole in her life, but during the Relay for Life event, she feels like they are with her. “I still hope that some day we will be a cancer-free society,” said Mlazgar. “If the money I raise can save one life, it’s a life worth saving.”

The third ceremony is the Fight Back ceremony, where participants are asked to share one thing they will do to help fight cancer, such as quit smoking or exercise more. “We know that statistically speaking, 50 per cent of cancers are preventable,” said Tesser. The Nanaimo event typically raises between $75,000 and $100,000 for cancer research, prevention initiatives and support for people living with cancer. Registration costs $20 per person and each person is encouraged to raise a suggested minimum of $100.

Orphaned cubs continue recovery BY NEIL HORNER BLACK PReSS
The prognosis looks good for a pair of infant black bear cubs that were orphaned when their mother was struck by a car on the Nanaimo Parkway last week. North Island Wildlife Recovery Centre founder Robin Campbell said the mother was killed immediately from the impact, leaving her two young cubs up in a tree. “The police showed up and found somebody already there, cutting the feet off the mom,” Campbell said. “The cops put the run on them and they took off.” The cubs posed a challenge to rescuers, as they were too young to be safely sedated, so the fire department was called and the pair were plucked to safety with the aid of their cherry-picker
bucket. The dead mother bear was loaded into a pickup truck and taken to the North Island Wildlife Recovery facility in Errington, where she was rubbed down with blankets to put her scent on them. Campbell and the staff started the cubs on a special bear milk replacement formula and then moved them on to an omnivore diet of blended pablum, apple sauce and cottage cheese. “We’ll keep them in here until they are 18 pounds or so and then we will transfer them into the new bear facility we built last year,” Campbell said. “We’ll keep them to next June or July and then, depending on what’s going on in the environment, we’ll release them.” He said he’s confident the bears will survive their ordeal. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

International aid not always in people’s best interest
I
small-scale local farming best kind of social enterprise.
There are strong similarities between food banks, welfare and international emergency aid. In each case, what was intended to be emergency help has led to dependency instead of temporary assistance. In our communities, we have had community economic development (CED) for decades, but the poverty gap has widened. Something is not working. A public quarrel has erupted between Dambisa Moyo, Zambian celebrity economist, and Bill Gates, philanthropist, over Gates’s attempts to fund aid

Moyo made her name with In her 1971 book, Aid As a book called Dead Aid, in Imperialism, Teresa Hayter which she pointed out the came much closer to identifyobvious: that aid is not working the causes of underdeveling.

Businesses in Canada see opportunities to contract for government funds to deliver development projects and increasingly seek partnerships with the larger and more conservative NGOs like WUSC, Plan Canada and World Vision. I think there are many skilled and dedicated people working for government and NGOs delivering projects that make a difference and deserve support. Aid is undermined by national and business interests which are not the same as the interests of the recipients. And it seems blindingly obvious that most global trade is exceedingly unfair to everybody except executives and shareholders. We need global fair trade. Cheap food and other goods
from overseas based on low wages are bad for primary producers overseas. What they need is access to markets dominated by global businesses so huge that they have lost their connection to their origins. Expecting Canadian farmers to compete with offshore prices based on low wages is not fair. Small-scale, local farming is the best kind of social enterprise because there is nothing more useful to people than healthy food. Get to know your farmers and processors and you will find the best food. u Marjorie Stewart is board chairwoman of the Nanaimo Foodshare Society. She can be reached at marjorieandalstew art@shaw.ca.

Conference gathers bright minds By ToBy Gorman The News BulleTiN
Some of the Island’s best and brightest young professional minds will be converging on Nanaimo next week to inspire, be inspired and discuss some big issues. Young Professional of Nanaimo are preparing to host about 150 delegates at the Connect V.I. Conference at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre June 14-15. The inaugural convention last year, also hosted by YPN, focused on creating a wider network of young professionals on the Island to address the challenges of generational transition in business, community and politics. Adam Hawryluk, YPN president, said the 2012 convention spawned a new organization – young professionals in Port Alberni started the Young Professionals of Alberni Valley – to complement young professional groups in Nanaimo, Victoria, Campbell River and Comox.
“We’re trying to get as many people in the room as possible to discuss important issues,” said Hawryluk. “Last year it was neat to see that it wasn’t just us, that we weren’t alone. We’re building on that networking this year.” The 2013 Connect V.I. will see delegates, along with a variety of keynote speakers, address the subjects of civic responsibilities, First Nations and transportation in an effort to initiate positive change on Vancouver Island. “Everyone’s level of knowledge is so varied so a lot of what is presented will be a base-level understanding and understanding there
are issues there that we need to address,” said Hawryluk. “It’s a lot to take in, so we’re hoping everybody takes some key points home with them and work with communities to address the issues.” Young professional groups work to improve their respective communities, keep abreast of important issues and take leadership roles as previous generations move toward retirement. YPN members in Nanaimo focus on professional development, community involvement, business networking and social networking as well as advocating for rail transportation on Vancouver Island and encour-

There is nothing quite like a set of stairs to provide a great indication of how in shape one is. And as of Friday, a significant portion of the 300-plus stairs at the Blueback Road beach access are in better shape to handle the workouts residents put themselves through. City work crews have been upgrading the stairs to improve public safety. “we’ve replaced the middle-third railwaytie stairs with wooden stairs and hand rails to match the lower-third,” said ian Blackwood, facility maintenance and construction manager. “The top-third is slated for repair next year.” Part of the parks, recreation and culture Beach Access Program, the work at Blueback cost close to $8,000. “we completed a set of stairs on stevenson Point Road this year, upgraded the stairs at invermere Road last year and will be looking at work on the stairs at seabold Road hopefully next year,” said Blackwood.

CANADIAN COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER AWARD 2012
EDITORIAL
Cities require more support Municipal politicians from across the country flooded into Vancouver for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ convention. And while their backgrounds were diverse, their message was strikingly similar: fix the funding. It’s not a new complaint. For decades Canada’s cities have been telling Ottawa they need more money if they are to do the things they are increasingly expected to do. The complaints began in the 1990s when the federal government cut funding as it dealt with a ballooning deficit and public debt. As transfer payments to provincial governments shrank, so too did many of the services the federal government traditionally provided (like low cost housing). Today, cities are faced with providing services they never did in the past, particularly in the realm of social services, transportation, and policing. They’ve done this because they’ve had little choice. There is no one left to download the cuts to. Instead, they must find new revenue from a taxpayer pool that is shallow and offers little flexibility. Deferring expenses is an option, but as roads and bridges deteriorate, it leads to an infrastructure deficit. That’s left municipalities calling for a change in the way cities are funded. According to a report released at the convention, municipalities only receive eight cents of every tax dollar raised despite their expanding responsibilities. There were promises of new money at the convention, but that’s not enough. What is needed is a change in the way the funding flows. Canada’s cities have grown up. It is time federal and provincial governments stop treating them like children who are incapable of spending their allowance responsibly. The Nanaimo News Bulletin is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry. The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member newspapers. Directors oversee the mediation of complaints, with input from both the newspaper and the complaint holder. If talking with the editor or publisher does not resolve your complaint about coverage or story treatment, you may contact the B.C. Press Council. Your written concern, with documentation, should be sent to B.C. Press Council, 201 Selby St., Nanaimo, B.C. V9R 2R2. For information, phone 888-687-2213 or go to www.bcpresscouncil.org

No, this is just me saying it’s lonely cheering on my team without the Canuckleheads – I mean Vancouver Canucks – in the picture. Nobody here cares. Oh, well, go Bruins. news@nanaimobulletin.com

LNG project a ‘political ruse’ To the Editor,
Re: Clark to press for LNG development, May 25. Is Christy Clark playing yet another shell game with us? We know that it takes huge amounts of energy to make liquefied natural gas. One could burn it to produce the energy needed for the liquefaction process, something not ‘green’, carbon neutral or cost effective. To make the LNG projects work requires large amounts of cheap hydro electricity. Which means that the Site C dam must be approved and built without further environmental or other considerations. This will cost at least $7.9 billion. Add this to the
billions of already deferred debts B.C. Hydro holds. Of course, as Japan and the other potential customers for our LNG find greener, cheaper and renewable sources of energy, our market will dry up, leaving us to face huge losses, while having a great excess of hydro power. The indebted B.C. Hydro, left with no ready market for the Site C power, will be broke. So, the government of the day will be faced with the need to sell all of B.C. Hydro’s assets. Perhaps there is already a back room deal arranged for the sale to an American conglomerate like General Electric, being the second largest
3 WEEKS LEFT! NO NEED TO HAVE A COUPON
50%
company in the U.S. This reminds me of the B.C. Rail deal, where it went deep into debt upgrading an infrastructure that would last for years, only to have it sold to an American company that has been making huge profits ever since. B.C. Hydro, once the crown jewel of Crown corporations, one which has fed many hundred millions of dollars into the government coffers, will be gone. The LNG projects seem to me to be nothing much more than a ruse, to be played out, yet again on the taxpayer, for an ulterior motive.
I have had the great privilege to be a part of a number of First Nations’ initiatives of late – Idle No More, the signing of a reconciliation agreement by the province and Snuneymuxw First Nation and the latest, and perhaps best, the dialogue From Racism to Reconciliation. At the dialogue, many people got up and bravely related their stories. In doing so, Nanaimo’s Empire Days celebrations came up a few times. Nanaimo has a chance to take a step in the right direction and make this year’s celebration the last. It is the right of all cultures in this great city to celebrate their presence and contributions. Where I have a problem is when Nanaimo’s celebration, in the broader and archaic context of ‘Empire,’ actually celebrates the conquest of one nation for the direct benefit of another. The time has come
to change the name to something that does not carry with it the baggage of a not-toopleasant experience suffered by the colonized in the name of ‘Empire,’ something that commemorates the shared history of all. Let’s celebrate inclusively both the short history of Nanaimo, since first contact, and the much longer history of the Snuneymuxw First Nation now and before. Gordon W. Fuller Nanaimo
Colliery turmoil need not happen To the Editor,
Re: City seeks court order ahead of Colliery protest, June 6. The citizens of Nanaimo have clearly stated the lakes at Colliery Dam Park are extremely important – even worth risking bylaw enforcement – to protect. A great deal of this emotional turmoil could be avoided if the city were to draft a legally binding contract promising the

Master Plan Update PUBLIC INPUT SESSION WILL BE HELD:
Saturday, June 8 10 am-2 pm
@ Beban Park Altrusa Playground The City of Nanaimo Parks, Recreation and Culture Department is seeking input regarding the future of Beban Park.

Feedback will shape a park master plan that helps reflect our community’s needs and goals. The draft master plan will be available for review and further input in the fall of 2013. Please stop by Beban Park Altrusa Playground on Saturday, June 8, 10 am-2 pm to share your thoughts and ideas. Information boards, staff and a survey will be available. If you cannot attend the input session on June 8, you can find the master plan information and survey online at www.nanaimo.ca (search “Beban Park Master Plan”).

and serious. Principal among them is the simple basic question of the conditions under which any municipality should be providing services outside its own jurisdiction. In doing so are we operating as a charity? Or maybe we are in a business venture which will make enough money to pay down the tens of millions which Nanaimo taxpayers continue to put out on our water supply? Or are we fishing for an amalgamation, given that water is probably the most important service which a municipality provides? It’s concerning to learn this deal is, at least for the time being, limited to service to Upper Lantzville where a huge development recently went bankrupt for lack of water. Council owes its citizens a much broader discussion of this issue.

Programs create community connection I CHILDREN DEVELOP skills to become leaders of tomorrow. BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN
Y
outh in Nanaimo are making a difference in the community. During the summer, young teens are logging thousands of volunteer hours to help camps and day programs run in the city. Alita Dancy, Leaders in Training and Quest program leader for parks, recreation and culture, said many people don’t realize the great things youth are doing in Nanaimo. She wants to fight the negative stereotype many youth get. “Kids in our community are giving up their whole summer to make all these programs in Nanaimo happen,” said Dancy. Last year participants in LIT and Quest logged more than 10,000 volunteer hours through the programs, which are offered annually for teens ages 13-18. Youth are taught effective communication skills, event planning, child behaviour management and more. It gives them hands-on experience as they work in partnership with several charities during the program such as the Loaves and Fishes Community Food Bank and others. Dancy said it also has a ripple effect in the community –
RACHEL STERN/THE NEWS BULLETIN
Alita Dancy, Leaders in Training and QUEST program leader for parks, recreation and culture, hangs out on the climbing wall at the Altrusa Playground at Beban Park. The youth programs are ramping up for the summer with participants leading playground programs, camps and helping during various community events.
young children see the teens volunteering and then when they get older, they also join the program. “It brings the community together,” said Dancy. “It is creating a great sense of community.” This year Dancy wants to create more intergenerational connections. She’s trying to create activities where the youth and seniors can work together. “Bridging that generation gap is really essential,” she said. Youth must complete the Leaders in Training portion before they can complete the Quest program. Quest builds on skills youth previously learned and includes additional responsibilities where participants specialize in activities for either area or aquatic programs. LIT youth also receive training through four workshop sessions – clowning, on the job, children and teamwork 101. These sessions help teens learn how to entertain children attending activities and help lead activities during special community events. To register for either program or for more information, please call 250-756-5200 or go to www.nanaimo.ca. The first orientation session for youth in the program is June 15 at Oliver Woods Community Centre. On June 22, participants attend a placement session where they can choose which programs they will assist with during the summer. arts@nanaimobulletin.com
Workshop covers basics of Alzheimer’s Approximately one in 11 Canadians over the age of 65 has Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. The statistics are more than just numbers. They represent local families affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. This insight has led the Alzheimer Society of B.C. to bring its free workshop, Getting to Know Dementia, to Nanaimo July 3. “Participants will receive basic information on dementia and the impact it has on the individual, their care partners, and their support network,” said Jane Hope, the society’s support and education coordinator for the central Island. The workshop provides an opportunity to learn about the diagnosis, different programs and services available in the community, the importance of planning for the future and strategies for living well. People with a diagnosis of dementia, care partners and family members are all invited to attend. The workshop runs from 10 a.m. to noon on July 3 at the Alzheimer Resource Centre, 200-1585 Bowen Rd. Pre-registration is required. For information and to register, please contact Hope at 250-7344170 or jhope@alzheimerbc.org.

Summer means keeping cool BY AMANDA DALY Summer is coming and soon many will be heading to their favourite location to cool off and have fun. Nanaimo is fortunate to have so many options minutes away to beat the summer heat. Nanaimo Aquatic Centre, Beban Pool, Kin Pool, water parks or one of many lakes or beaches are all great options to keep in mind when looking for somewhere to cool off. My favourite is Nanaimo Aquatic Centre. It is our largest pool facility that offers early morning and late evening hours. It’s located on the south end of town just off Wakesiah Avenue. There’s a cafè, fitness gym, swim store and three water slides. Thanks to the wave pool and three slides, the pool often boasts more visitors than any of the other pools or beaches. There’s also a kids’ area with a boat that squirts jets of water and a lazy river. Come early and hit up the weight room for an extra calorie burning session. A close second is Westwood Lake located just off the parkway and Jingle Pot Road on Westwood Road. The lake is a beachfront beauty and the only beach in Nanaimo patrolled by lifeguards starting July 2, seven days a week from noon to 6 p.m. It’s easy to make a day of it by adding a hike or bike around the park trail and barbecuing nearby. In central Nanaimo, the public can swim outdoors at the Kin Pool in Bowen Park
just off Bowen Road. This pool is operated by the White Rapids Nanaimo Summer Swim Club. It’s heated, which most appreciate in the spring to summer transition. Beban Pool – located at Beban Park Recreational Centre – is the best bet for young kids and seniors. In addition to the slide and lazy river, there’s a chestdeep pool for aquatic fitness classes, lane swimming, a hot tub and steam room.
The summer is never complete without a visit to our water parks. The parks – Harewood Centennial, Deverill Square, Mansfield Park and Departure
Bay Centennial parks – open in June from 9 a.m. 8 p.m. Want to learn more about Nanaimo pools, programs and summer fun? Please visit www.nanaimo.ca. SYM WOLF

Rob MacKay, left, Dianna Rivard and Ken Schley of Quality Foods are presented with a plaque by Jim Crist of the Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation, recognizing the company’s 18-year commitment to health care.
Grocer commits to health The Quality Foods grocery chain prides itself on the grassroots connection it maintains within the communities it serves. Demonstrating its commitment to the health and wellness of Vancouver Islanders, the company regularly contributes to the Quality Foods Community Health Endowment Fund at the Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation. At a recent donor recognition event, Quality Foods gave an additional $12,500 to the fund. The gift was generated through the sale of Becel and Dempster products at Quality Foods branches in Nanaimo, Nanoose, Parksville, and Qualicum Beach. The group was also recognized by the foundation for reaching the Platinum Philanthropy level by surpassing $150,000 in
donations. In fact QF has raised nearly $200,000 since it began supporting the hospital foundation in 1995. It has also nominated the foundation for a grant from Newman’s Own Foundation; funds generated through the sale of Newman’s Own products. Thanks to the most recent recommendation, Newman’s Own contributed $10,000 to the new emergency department at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. Jim Crist, vice-chairman of the hospital foundation’s board of directors, said the commitment Quality Foods has to its customers and employees is truly outstanding. “Their partnership in health care has made a permanent difference to the foundation and what we are able to do. We are very grateful for their support.”

ADVENTURE AROUND EVERY CORNER AT CAMP QWANOES!
For 47 years Camp Qwanoes has been inviting children from a wide variety of backgrounds to leave the everyday behind and jump into a week of adventure and friendship. “Camp is a place where kids can try things that just don’t happen in everyday life,” says Scott Bayley, Executive Director. “And it’s all in a safe place. At Qwanoes kids can be kids, kids are valued and
accepted, and fun is a big part of each day.” “Like racing a friend through the trees on parallel double zip lines! Or bouncing your friend high into the air off the blob. Or maybe just enjoying the stars at night with your cabin down at the dock.” Since 1966 kids have been experiencing these kind of adventures and a whole lot more at Qwanoes, nestled beside Maple Mountain
on a quiet bay in Crofton in the heart of the Gulf Islands. “We started 47 years ago with a few hundred kids. Now this summer we expect over 3,500... from all across Vancouver Island, Greater Vancouver, and even beyond.” “Our staff come from all over the world. This summer we’ll welcome staff from about 12 countries and many
provinces across Canada.” Qwanoes has grown for 25 summers and campers return year after year. “We love kids,” shared Scott. “And our desire is to provide one unforgettable week. Our staff make such a difference – our campers love them!” Qwanoes always seems to find ways to add new adventures and make each week extra special. Bayley explains that “this
For some
staff each week can’t wait to welcome our campers this summer!” Qwanoes is a Christian camp, and an ideal place for fun-filled, life-changing adventure.

Crafts for Kids Ages 7 to 10 The world is full of endless possibilities when it comes to finding crafts for kids ages 7 to 10. They can choose from an array of activities such as scrapbooking, model building, jewelry making and even tie-dying. This age group doesn’t require as much supervision as younger children and can handle more complex crafts with detailed instructions. Tips for Creating Crafts for Kids Ages 7 to 10 When selecting a craft for your 7- to 10-year-old child, make sure to find something that he or she finds exciting and interesting. For example, if doing a woodworking project, most boys would typically prefer to
build a bug box or birdhouse over a jewelry box. To successfully create crafts with your child, keep the following in mind: Have all materials available to complete the craft. Understand the directions before instructing your child. Protect your own and your child’s clothing. Have enough room to work on the project. Provide supervision, but don’t do the craft for the child. Don’t suppress the creativity; if the craft is coming out differently than you expected, that’s OK. Keep the craft project age and, if necessary, gender appropriate. Make sure the project isn’t too hard or
too simple to complete. Be sure to praise your child for a job well done. Sample Craft Ideas Kids and crafts naturally go together, so it really doesn’t take much to get kids interested and involved. You can purchase materials from a craft or dollar store, or save some money and use recycled items from around your house. You’d be amazed at what you can created from a few leftover pieces of wood, fabric, paper or even soda bottles. Paper Crafts Scrapbooking and card-making are two great paper crafts for kids ages 7 to 10. They can create a memory book about their favorite school field trip or fam-

SPECIALIZING IN CHILDREN AND TEEN SEWING CLASSES
In many ways, today’s kids have busier schedules than any previous generation of youngsters. Many extracurricular activities, including sports, require a nearly year-round commitment, and the dual-income household has landed many kids in afterschool programs where kids tend to their schoolwork or engage in various activities that keep them from resting on their laurels. But those busy schedules get a lot less hectic when the school year ends. Once school is out, kids used to a full schedule might find themselves with lots of time on their hands. Though it’s good for kids to squeeze in some rest and relaxation

during their summer break, it’s also important for kids to stay active so they don’t develop poor habits as the summer goes on. In addition, the American Psychological Association notes that kids who are physically active are more capable of coping with stress and tend to have higher self-esteem than kids who do not include physical activity as part of their regular routines. The following are a few suggestions for parents looking for ways to keep their kids active throughout the summer. Plan an active vacation. Summer is when many families go on vacation, so why not choose a vacation that involves more than napping poolside? Though it’s still good to leave some time for relaxation, find a locale where you can embrace activities like snorkeling, hiking, kayaking, or other adventures that get you and your youngsters off the poolside chaise and out exploring. Teach kids to garden. Gardening might be seen as a peaceful and relaxing hobby, but it still requires a lot of elbow grease and hard work that pays physical dividends. A garden must be planted, hoed, weeded, and watered, and gardening gets kids out of the house to enjoy the great outdoors. When growing a vegetable garden, kids might embrace the chance to be directly involved in the foods that will eventually end up on their dinner tables. Parents can embrace this as an opportunity to teach the value of eating locallyproduced foods and the positive impact such behavior has on the environment. Go swimming. Few adults who work in
offices haven’t looked out their windows on a sunny summer day and thought how nice it would be to be spending that afternoon making a few laps in a lake, at the beach or in a pool. Kids have the same daydreams during the summer, so take a day off every so often and take the kids for an afternoon of swimming. Swimming is a great activity that exercises the entire body, including the shoulders, back, legs, hips, and abdominals. In addition, swimming helps kids and adults alike maintain a healthy weight while also improving their cardiovascular health. Limit how much time kids spend watching television, playing video games or surfing the Internet. Many of today’s kids are as tech savvy as they are busy. But it’s important that kids don’t spend too much time online or on the couch watching television or playing video games. Such activities are largely sedentary, and they can set a bad precedent for the months ahead, even when the school year begins once again. Parents should limit how much time their youngsters spend in front of the television or the computer during summer vacation, keeping track and turning the TV or computer off if they suspect kids are spending too much time staring at the screen instead of being active. Kids might not love it when you turn their video games off or minimize their access to social media, but explain the limitations at the onset of summer and let kids know you expect them to be physically active even if it is summer vacation.

GARDINER Frances Amelia It is with great sadness that Frances’ family announces her passing on May 24, 2013 at the age of 96, in Nanaimo, British Columbia. Frances will be missed and lovingly remembered by sons, Gareth and Donald (Audrey); grandchildren: Craig Gardiner, Quentin Gardiner, James Gardiner, and Frances Gardiner; and six great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband, James in 1994; son, Theo in 1964; and daughter, Gail in 2005. Frances was born and raised in Duhamel, Alberta where she met and married James Gardiner who was a school teacher in the area. They lived in Camrose, Edmonton and Bassano before moving to Marwayne, Alberta in 1954, where James had accepted the school principalship. They were active members of that community until they moved to Nanaimo, BC in 1968. While in Nanaimo, Frances spent many years working with the Nanaimo Homemakers Society. She spent many happy years in her condo at Highview Terrace in Nanaimo and travelling with friends and family. The last few years of her life were spent in the Kiwanis Lodge in Nanaimo, where she received excellent care and support. Frances lived a long and courageous life and will be missed by all who knew her. A Memorial Service, honoring her life, was held at the Howard Johnson Hotel in Nanaimo on Saturday, June 1, 2013. Donations, in Frances’ name, may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Elwood passed away peacefully at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital after a long, healthy and active life. He was born on a farm near Bengley, Alberta in 1923 to Ray and Bertha Miles, both from pioneering families in the area. He spent his childhood years in this close farming community surrounded by extended family. After serving in the Royal Canadian Air Force, 19421045, Elwood married Doreen, his wife of 66 years, in 1946 and completed his Bachelor of Education degree at UBC in 1949. He began his teaching career that same year at Thomas Hodgson School in Nanaimo. Later he taught at John Shaw High School and then moved to John Barsby Secondary School when it opened. In time he became vice-principal and then later principal of the school. He always loved meeting his former students in the community. Elwood was a strong believer in family and a good provider. He encouraged all his children to take higher education. He was generous with his extended family and friends. He was actively involved in the Brechin United Church Choir and the Malaspina Choir for many years. He also attended and supported the Vancouver Island Symphony from its inception. Elwood liked to travel. From even the early years he would pack up the family and head off on camping trips throughout BC and into Alberta. Closer to and during retirement there was travel with Doreen to England, Europe, Mexico, Cuba, Hawaii and other places. In his retirement years he set up his own photographic studio in his home and became involved with the processing of photos for pioneering research on killer whale identification through the Pacific Biological Station. He enjoyed this connection very much. He was also able to spend more time with his friends golfing and curling. Elwood is predeceased by his parents and his brother, Vernon; and is survived by his wife, four children, five grandchildren, one great-grandchild and two sisters. He led a good life and will be greatly missed. There will be a private family ceremony. No flowers by request. Donations could be made to Nanaimo Home and Community Services or Nanaimo Regional General Hospital Palliative Care Unit through the Vancouver Island Health Authority or to the charity of your choice.

GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN
Victoria Shamrocks player Scott Ranger, front, takes a shot on goal during a game Wednesday at Frank Crane Arena against the Nanaimo Timbermen including Barclay Hickey.
Kaleb Toth, coach of the Timbermen, said the more-experienced Shamrocks had a better idea of what it takes to pull out a close
game like that. He said his guys need to all want to make an impact at those key moments late in games. “A veteran team tends to stay a little calmer in situations like that,” Toth said. The new Shamrocks captain said the Timbermen were hard to play against.
“They may not have the talent but they’ve sure got the work ethic and that’s going to go a long way for that squad,” Ranger said. Boychuk, the game’s second star with 41 saves, said Nanaimo’s offence and defence both played well. “That was our best effort and it shows we
can hang with any team in this league,” he said. “If we put our chances in in the third period I think it’s a different outcome.” Ryan Keith led Nanaimo’s offence with a hat trick, Cody Bremner had two goals and four assists and Cayle Ratcliff had a goal and five helpers. Jake Emms and Graham Palmer also scored. “Every time Victoria scored, [our] offence went back and got a goal for us which was good to see,” Toth said. “So hopefully this gives them a little confidence that they can go out and they can score against one of the best teams … We can build off this.” GAME ON … The Coastal Windows Timbermen (1-4) host the Burnaby Lakers (1-3) on Sunday (June 9) at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
