Manager draws on gridiron lessons Ted Swabey takes over top job at City of Nanaimo By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN
A
young Ted Swabey hung his head low as he faced his father on the gridiron of a private boarding school. It was his father’s alma mater, and the same field where he had played football before heading to Princeton University. Swabey wanted the same kind of opportunity and after a season-long losing streak, saw the final game as his last chance to impress scouts. Instead he suffered another heartbreaking loss. It’s all there in black and white in the office of Nanaimo’s new top bureaucrat. The old photograph is a reminder of how dejected he felt that day and his father’s advice that the game was just the beginning – that he needed to persevere instead of letting the loss get him down, Swabey said. “I ended up getting scholarships to the U.S. and Canada so it did all work out,” said Swabey, who went on to play college football. “I think that was my dad’s point. There are ups and downs in everything you do ... [but] if you put in effort and time things will work out.”

Ted Swabey took over as city manager earlier this month. He met with reporters in his office to outline his plans and goals for the coming years.
It’s a lesson Swabey plans to use as he makes his mark on city hall. The new city manager took over the helm earlier this month from longtime manager Al Kenning, with plans to invest time in building relationships within the organization and change public perception around who’s in charge. His appointment comes

Procrastination is the solution so don’t put it off.
on the heels of criticism that senior employees have become more powerful than council and a recent review that red flagged negative internal issues as undermining attempts at good governance. In a far-reaching discussion with media, Swabey said he expects there will be challenges ahead in taking over management
of about 650 employees, including building trust among staff members, crafting a new budget process and potentially restructuring city hall. “The starting point is the relationship building and trust building and I don’t think [those are] insurmountable issues to deal with,” he said. “I think dealing with the cultural issues first will help – ensuring that my role is seen for what it is.” “[We] need to make sure we always recognize who is in control and that’s council.” Swabey has been working at the City of Nanaimo for the past 23 years, climbing the corporate ladder from a counter clerk to economic development, protective services, and community safety and development. He understands the organization and its culture – tools that will help him move the corporation forward, he said. A top goal will be in turning the attention away from the city manager, who he says has received undue focus as a significant power player. Swabey said he’ll begin changing perceptions around city leadership by emphasizing more strongly his supporting role to council and checking in with elected officials more often about priorities, improvements for community engagement and potential reorganization at city hall. u See ‘SIGNIFICANT’ /10

Reconciliation Week offers chance to heal By meliSSa Fryer The News BulleTiN
Tolerance is not enough for Doug White, chief of Snuneymuxw First Nation. It’s not enough for aboriginal and non-aboriginal Canadians to simply stop fighting and walk back to their respective corners. He sees a future in which engagement is sought, where concern for others’ well being is paramount and all work together to heal the dark history that plagues Canada’s relationship with its indigenous people. “Things aren’t going to really change until we engage with the hearts of Canadians,” White said. “It’s going to be Canadians reconciliaTion evenTS themselves – not at Vancouver island lawyers and politiuniversity on Friday cians.” (sept. 20) include movie It’s Reconciliascreening at 9 a.m., tion Week in Canfollowed by discussion, ada, and while the then procession from focus is mainly on the Gathering Place sharing and com(Bldg. 170) to the ing to terms with library at noon. what happened in residential schools, issues like poverty, children in care and violence still plague First Nations today. Aboriginals face lack of access to potable water – Snuneymuxw reserves were connected to the municipal water supply last year – grinding poverty leading to alcoholism and domestic violence, and what White describes as a crisis for child welfare with more than half the children in care aboriginal. “It’s effectively become normalized,” he said. But change is happening. Reconciliation Week came out of the 2008 apology from the federal government over physical, sexual and emotional abuse perpetrated at residential schools. White notes it was a Snuneymuxw man who attended the Port Alberni school who was the first to file a lawsuit alleging sexual abuse. “That was the spark that lit the fire across the country,” White said. u See ‘ABORIGINAL’ /4

Nanaimo nerds lead with ideas The Nanaimo Design Nerds have been bringing people together at ‘jams’ – meet-ups to share visions, find solutions to members’ problems and brainstorm ways to make the city more attractive for creative professionals. Ideas that percolate at the events are free for anyone to take on, and they’re starting to take root in the Harbour City. The District of Lantzville has taken a page out of the design nerd handbook, hosting its first-ever idea jam earlier this month to tap into citizens’ views on urban farming. Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation and Innovation Island are joining forces to discuss a new co-working space downtown for creative professionals. The concept was pitched at one of the nerds’ first idea jams.

anaimo entrepreneur Shayd Johnson planned to expand his graphic design business into Vancouver, but the last thing he wanted was to work solo in a high-priced office. So he turned to co-working spaces. “I am drawn to them,” said Johnson, owner of Elephant Room Creative. “There is this mass amount of people in one room with the same creative passion and energy, [but they are] in different fields of work … it’s cool to be able to bounce ideas off each other.” Johnson is part of a growing number of entrepreneurs looking to leave the isolation of coffee shops and home offices for busy co-working hives. The spaces offer creative professionals the perks of office spaces without longterm leases or high overhead costs. They are “innovative” communities that buzz with energy as talented creatives share resources, collaborate and network to grow their start-up businesses, said Paris Gaudet, executive director of Innovative Island. Now Nanaimo is on the verge of getting its own coworking space. Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation and Innovation Island have joined forces
or other institutions would be happy to move to the Island and invest their time and energy here ... if they had a beginning spot to really get to know the community fast and be part of something greater than themselves that allows them to succeed.” The idea to build a local co-working space is still in its early stages, but is anticipated to be at the Painted Turtle Guesthouse on Commercial Street. Its creators say the new space would cater to the tech community. “This is going to be a game changer for our community because there is nothing like this on Vancouver Island outside Victoria,” Gaudet said. “Working in isolation is tough. When you are in a co-working space it screams innovation and energy and the vibe is really conducive to productivity.” Johnson is now using coworking spaces to expand his agency to the mainland, but if not for initially finding a funky office space in Nanaimo, he said he might not have started his company here. A “cool, creative place” is important to keep new graduates in the city, he said. “Nanaimo is on the way to improving a lot of things in the community so creative professionals will want to stay here,” Johnson said. news@nanaimobulletin.com

to bring the movement to the Harbour City, with plans for a 2,400 square-foot work spread of private offices, communal work desks, lounge areas and a boardroom. Business owners can rent desks and tap into services and mentorship offered by the two organizations. With the city’s push to lure the creative class, now is a good time for Nanaimo to start offering fun work environments, according to those that have been advocating for co-working hives. The creative class is in big demand by municipalities, like Nanaimo, looking to attract investment and generate jobs. But the professionals are highly mobile and are choosing to live in cities with cultural diversity, recreational opportunities and inspiring work environments to grow their ideas, said creatives Mark Ashby and Jackie Duys-Kelly, members of the Nanaimo Design Nerds. A co-working space would not only help entrepreneurs develop their businesses, but offer temporary desks to professionals doing short-term jobs in the city, they say. “These kinds of spaces are the beginning of a revolutionary way of how people work together ... produce and progress,” Duys-Kelly said. “I am sure many graduates from Emily Carr [University]

Creative connection:
Mark Ashby, a founding design nerd, said he’s “absolutely thrilled” to see their models and ideas picked up and valued. Earlier this year the City of Nanaimo also used the design nerds to help facilitate a public forum on the cultural plan. “It’s exciting to see them take a risk and jump on the ideation model we’ve created,” he said. The design nerds have been growing over the last year, with six key members and more than 150 casual members who work together on projects or brainstorm ways to make the city a more fun place for young creative people. Ashby said while jams don’t work in every situation, it is a new tool for municipalities struggling to create healthy public engagement.

Province advised of dam progress Nanaimo city officials have warned the province it could take up to two years to find a final solution to the Colliery dams. Nanaimo city council met with the B.C. minister of forests, lands and natural resource operations in Vancouver Wednesday during the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. Nanaimo Mayor John Ruttan said city council updated Minister Steve Thomson on its shortterm mitigation plan for the Colliery dams. Council members

also warned Thomson that a long-term solution for the dams is a complicated issue and could take up to two years to achieve. Ruttan had hoped to get input from Thomson on the future of the Colliery dams, but said the meeting was more of an information session and only 12 minutes long. “The minister did acknowledge it’s a very difficult situation ... and said his ministry would work with us as closely as possible,” Ruttan said.

Canadian Forces Maritime Experimental Test Ranges and the crew of HMCS Ottawa will open their doors, ports and hatches to the public for an open house this weekend. The base, which tests antisubmarine warfare targeting and tracking systems, hosts its biannual open house Saturday (Sept. 21), the first since 2011 when more than 1,500 people ventured onto the base to check out military equipment displays and demonstrations. Because the base holds an open house just once every two years, the event is a rare treat for the public. “We are a very small facility and to put together even a day of activities requires a lot of time, so it’s not something we can do all the time,” said
Capt. Jeff Manney, CFMETR’s project officer of critical infrastructure. One of the star attractions at this year’s event will be the Halifax-class frigate HMCS Ottawa and its crew who will be conducting tours of the ship and offering the public a rare glimpse at the ship’s marine, warfare and communications capabilities. “It’s very rare for a frigate to come alongside here and open themselves up for tours,” Manney said. The frigate won’t be taking any guests for cruises on the Georgia Strait, but the base has fuelled up two rigid hull zodiac craft to take visitors on tours around Nanoose Bay. A CH-149 Cormorant search and rescue helicopter is teaming up with a maritime search and rescue team from French Creek for a water search and rescue demonstration. An anti-submarine warfare CH-124 Sea King helicopter will be on the ground and open for tours, plus a CP-140 Aurora anti-submarine warfare aircraft will do a flyby

from its base at Canadian Forces Base Comox at about 11 a.m. With free admission and a 105mm cannon on site, the event promises the best bang for the buck on the central Island over the weekend. “We’re having a 105mm Howitzer here and we’re going to sell tickets as a fundraising initiative for the United Way,” Manney said. “The winner will get to pull the lanyard and fire the gun. We’re hoping to get three shots out of the (artillery) unit, but so far we’ve only been guaranteed one.” Gates open at 10 a.m. and activities continue until 3 p.m. “We don’t often get to do that around here. People see a lot of the things happening from ashore – they can see the boats out on the range and the submarines – but we often have people wondering what exactly happens at CFMETR, so this is our chance to tell people what we’re up to,” Manney said. CFMETR is located at 3400 Fairwinds Dr., Nanoose Bay. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Prorogation a normal parliamentary device, says MP By Karl yu The News BulleTiN
While people are criticizing Prime Minister Stephen Harper
for proroguing Parliament, the Member of Parliament for Nanaimo-Alberni says it’s nothing new. Federal Conserva-
tive MP James Lunney said this is the 26th time that Parliament has been prorogued in 146 years and it isn’t unusual,
pointing to the fact Jean Chrétien prorogued Parliament four times during his time as prime minister and Pierre
Trudeau, eight times. He said the current session at 811 sitting days since May 2011 is the third-longest session in Canadian
history. “Prorogation is just a normal parliamentary device. It’s used for resetting the agenda, especially

in a four-year Parliament – this will be four-plus from May until October 2015,” said Lunney. “It’s a normal way to hit the refresh button. “ We ’ v e a c c o m plished a lot of our legislative agenda and it’s setting a new tone – because the world’s changed a bit in two years – for the next two years of Parliament.” J e a n C r o w d e r, Nanaimo-Cowichan NDP Member of Parliament, does not share Lunney’s view. Crowder thinks prorogation is unfortunate given the number of issues that need to be dealt with, including environment, jobs and health care, and said politicians need to be back in Parliament dealing with legislation and proposals to try to address the concerns people have. “Harper seems to not want to talk about some of the challenges he’s having with his government in terms o f t r a n s p a re n c y and accountability, whether it’s spending scandals or other issues like that, F-35s, the list goes on,” said Crowder. With the next session expected to take place in mid-October, Crowder said she will be working in her riding, meeting with constituents and attending events like the MS Walk on Sept. 28 and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in Vancouver in her role as NDP Aboriginal Affairs critic. Lunney said he will be looking into a number of infrastructure requests from the riding. He is also working on health initiatives, including a Vitamin D Day bill, as he said Canadians are not getting enough, which leaves them vulnerable to many illnesses. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Cedar parents aim to reverse decision
I
iNformatioN SESSioN will see group present research it hopes will lead to school staying open. By Karl yu The News BulleTiN
The Save Cedar Schools Coalition is holding a forum on Monday (Sept. 23) regarding the Cedar Secondary School closure. The moderated panel discussion will be held at the Cedar Community Hall at 2388 Cedar Rd. from 7-9 p.m. It is open to the public and trustees from the school board have been invited. Steve Rae, a spokesman for the coalition, said his group believes there is a lot of information trustees don’t have yet and thinks the organization’s presentation will lead trustees to make an “informed, better decision.” “We want to show the trustees of School District 68 that this isn’t just a few whiny parents that are upset that their kids are going to [John Barsby Community School],” said Rae. “This is more than our school. They’re fundamentally trying to change the way they educate our children. They have plans for this new 21st century elementary school that they want to put in Cedar through no consultation.” The school district has already passed the school closure bylaw and board chairman Jamie Brennan said it’s unlikely the board would reverse its decision, saying it would take a “revelation of signifi-
cant proportions.” He said he wouldn’t be in attendance at the forum and also disputed the claim there wasn’t any consultation. “There was consul-
tation. The regional district, they sort of dropped the ball in terms of responding to our invitation and the Snuneymuxw First Nation did not respond,” Brennan said. “We had our meeting at Cedar, we did listen to people and we had scores of written submissions
and e-mails and so forth and all the trustees read it.” Nanaimo-Cowichan MLA Doug Routley, Regional District of Nanaimo Area A d i re c t o r A l e c McPherson, a representative of the Snuneymuxw First Nation, parents and students will also be speaking at the

This helpful, easy-to-use, online resource is available from the Homeowner Protection Office (HPO) website at www.hpo.bc.ca. Savvy homebuyers are using it to make more informed purchasing decisions. The New Homes Registry provides free access to find out if a home has a policy of home warranty insurance and is built by a Licensed Residential Builder, or whether it’s built without home warranty insurance. Homebuyers can obtain valuable information such as the name and contact number of the warranty provider, the builder’s warranty number and whether an owner-built home can be legally offered for sale. Every new home built for sale by a Licensed Residential Builder in British Columbia is protected by mandatory third-party home warranty insurance. Better known as 2-5-10 home warranty insurance, this coverage includes: two years on labour and materials, five years on the building envelope (including water penetration), and 10 years on the structure. It’s the strongest system of construction defect insurance in Canada.

EDITORIAL
City manager a central role It takes more than a city manager to manage a city. That’s one of the primary messages that Ted Swabey is trying to stress as he assumes his new role as the municipality’s top bureaucrat. Swabey says city managers have gained a reputation as power players, and he says it isn’t entirely warranted. He prefers to view his job as a supporting role, guided by city council and its decisions. The mayor and council might be the ones who publicly debate decisions and vote, but it’s Swabey and his city hall staff who are coming up with the choices. Without a city manager to clarify those choices, councillors would have a much tougher time comprehending complicated issues and coming to a consensus. However he wishes to try to portray himself, the truth is Swabey carries a great deal of sway in Nanaimo. It’s fine if he wants to downplay his role, so long as there is still transparency as to how decisions are being made in this city. It’s appropriate timing, perhaps, to have a new top man at city hall at this time. Certainly there have been criticisms about the way the municipality has handled the Colliery dams issue and confusion about who has been making the decisions. It’s also a time when the City of Nanaimo is assessing its governance and implementing a new budgeting model. The choose-your-ownadventure budget ledger will be filled out by council members, an indication that the new city manager really does want to leave the big decisions for elected officials and stay on the sidelines himself. Who’s managing the city? Who’s supporting who? Who’s deciding what? Of course these are important questions. But what matters even more is that the very best decisions are being made for Nanaimo.

In fact the attrition rate on these projects has always been about one out of three. This is what happens when the risks of expanding the provincial electrical grid are shared with private investors. These run-of-river and wind projects were promoted to maximize clean energy sources, as well as to spread the grid to remote areas. Then came the gas boom. Clark seized upon liquefied natural gas exports as the key to future prosperity, and the government soon declared burning gas “clean” as long as it facilitates LNG production. Bennett now acknowledges that gas-fired power plants are an option for the future. They are cheaper than hydro, small or large. Bennett’s two tasks are to supply industry with cheap power and get consumer rates under control. It looks as if the gas is being turned up, and Site C is moving to the back burner. . u Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and B.C.LocalNews.com.

Dam dispute has brought out the worst To the Editor,
Re: Dam delays wasting money, Editorial, Sept. 12. The removal of the dams has brought out the worst elements in the city. It is unfortunate that it would take such an issue to unite – or rather ignite – any community to the point where we are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars “studying” the inevitable. Regardless of all the claptrap we have heard, the fact remains that it is unacceptable to have 200,000 cubic metres of water
poised over the heads of 600 school students, who have very little choice in the matter. Some of the Colliery Dam saviours think those kids are irrelevant and that Jamie Brennan and the school district should have no say. It is actually the other way round. We all love the Colliery dams, but the qualified engineers who are responsible for our community safety say that we have an untenable situation. That is all we need to know. The Colliery dams are the
Nanaimo equivalent of the Scopes Monkey Trial, when a teacher was charged for teaching Darwin’s theory of evolution. Arguing over dam safety has made monkeys of everyone in Nanaimo. The save-the-dams people have harassed council and anyone else who opposes them, including me, to try to win the day. They have put up every spurious argument in the book to make their point. The only thing I can disagree with you on is that if this issue goes to a referen-
dum, it is quite likely that the majority of votes would go in favour of saving the dams. Most people in town don’t care enough to scrutinize the problem seriously, but the save-the-dammers do. Have you considered taking an unofficial vote through your newspaper? I don’t know much about the mechanics, but it would be interesting to have an independent poll of some kind. The results might be scary.
As a landlady with two rental suites in my home, I am shocked at how many people will not allow pets or outdoor smoke areas. Yet they want extremely high rent. Who are these people? Today pets are considered children to some people and telling them they cannot smoke on the property just because they do not like smoking (how would this hurt anyone or the residence?) Some of my best renters had really well-behaved, unheard pets, no damages, and smokers have done no harm.
So I believe these people are missing out on some really good, honest, responsible renters because of their selfish N/P N/S rental listings. Give people a chance, meet them before judging them, then decide pet or no pet, smoker or no smoker. Then fewer struggling single parents who may smoke or own pets would not have to rent dirty disgusting bedbugged holes to raise their children in because they were pre-judged by landlords and the rent out of reach.
To the Editor,
Re: Conservation officers kill cougar, bear, Sept. 12. Why do conservation officers call themselves conservation officers? Every-time I read about a bear or a cougar in town, they go out and kill it. Whatever happened to darting them and moving them way out into the wild? They never seem to conserve anything. I haven’t read about them doing this in years. Back east or in the States, I always read they dart them and move them elsewhere, but not here. They should change their name to animal control. Lloyd Nogier Nanaimo

Pot use isn’t really problematic To the Editor,

In California, legal medical cannabis has provided municipalities with muchneeded tax revenues, and people in need of the cannabis can obtain it with a doctor’s referral.

less problematic to society than alcohol or tobacco, and carries the stigma that it does solely for political reasons. Cannabis has countless medical benefits, is non-toxic, and associations with young people’s IQs and brain development are not causal. In other words, kids who are struggling in school, who lack motivation, often turn to alternate realities, includ-
ing drug use; it is not the drug use that is the cause, it is the effect, the result. Medical cannabis is intended for patients only and people who provide it to others, or kids, are irresponsible. It is benefiting thousands of patients in California and about 20 other states. Isn’t it time for Canadians to realize the benefits of medical cannabis?

District finishes year with budget surplus
I
moNEy SlatEd to be used toward this year’s costs. By Karl yu The News BulleTiN
Nanaimo school district finished the 2012-13 school year in solid financial position, with an unrestricted surplus of $1.5 million. The school district board approved audited financial statements for 2012-13 at a meeting on Sept. 11, and along with the aforementioned unrestricted surplus, school district secretary-treasurer Phil Turin
said there was an overall surplus of about $4.6 million and a restricted surplus of about $3.1 million. An unrestricted surplus is money available for use at the board’s discretion while the restricted surplus can be targeted for certain items, including school supplies and learning resources, aboriginal education programs, school closure costs and equipment replacement. The operating budget for the year was $123 million. Turin said that part of the $1.5 million was a $525,000 carry over from the previous year. Currently, plans are to hold on to this year’s
unrestricted surplus for future use. “At this point in time I would say we will keep that ($1.5 million) there and we might have to use it for the 2014-15 budget or other issues as they come up during the year,” Turin said. The 2013-14 budget is balanced as of now, according to Turin, but a $2-million shortfall is being forecast for the 2014-15 budget. “We’ll redo that forecast once I know where the enrolments are,” said Turin. “Enrolments right now are just coming in, obviously, because school just started.” The Ministry of Edu-
cation finalizes funding based on the district’s enrolment numbers as of Sept. 30 with final amounts normally announced in mid-December. The main funding boards receive is based on the Sept. 30 enrolment numbers. The 2012-13 financial statements represented the first time the school district used Public Sector Accounting standards having previously used standards from the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants handbook. Turin said because of this it took a significant amount of work to prepare the financial statements. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com
Europe’s Beauty Secret Clinically Proven!
Fewer lines and wrinkles, thicker hair, stronger nails and denser bones.
Collagen is the key. Molecular biologists have pinpointed the key structural protein for creating smooth skin, thick strong hair, and strong nails. It’s your body’s beauty protein, collagen. During youth, you have a rich abundance of collagen. In addition, the collagen forms itself in a resilient “tight mesh” matrix. This “ideal” collagen condition prevents wrinkles from forming, gives skin elasticity, helps create thick, beautiful hair and strong nails. But over the years, collagen diminishes. Starting at age 21, collagen diminishes by 1% per year. By age 30, signs of reduced collagen on skin, hair and nails become visible, not to mention the increase risk of fracture for bones. Say the words “healthy bones,” and the first word that probably pops up is calcium, but did you know that bones are made up of 30% collagen? Collagen provides strength and flexibility to bones. When collagen diminishes – your risk of fracture increases! Now, genuine collagen regeneration is possible with clinically proven BioSil™. BioSil, a patented cholinestabilized orthosilicic acid (ch-OSA®) complex, helps your body to generate its own collagen to provide support for denser and more flexible bones as well as beautiful skin, hair and nails. BioSil has been tested in rigorous double-blind placebo controlled trials for both efficacy and safety. Regenerate Collagen with BioSil, the only clinically proven product with ch-OSA – the most absorbable form of silicon.

Volunteers clean up city’s beaches
I
zoNta club leads effort at Neck Point Park saturday. By Karl yu The News BulleTiN
Nanaimoites will be amongst people across the country cleaning up various beaches and shores as part of the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. Nanaimo’s Zonta Club is one of the local groups organizing a cleanup, taking care of Neck Point Park on Saturday (Sept. 21). According to Zonta site coordinator Barbara Waine, refuse, such as plastic bags
and pop can holders, can get into the ecosystem and harm wildlife, while garbage on the shore can become hidden and cause injury to unsuspecting people passing by. A reconnaissance mission of the area last Sunday with her spouse revealed various pieces of debris. “We saw a few plastic or foam containers from food, candy wrappers but one thing we saw, on the side of one of the beaches, I guess it’s tsunami debris from Japan – there was a great big, plastic drum,” Waine said. Volunteers covering Neck Point Park will record data of the garbage collected and the information will be sent to the
Vancouver Aquarium. People wanting to take part in the cleanup can call 250-7582267 and volunteers showing up on Saturday must register and sign a waiver before the event, which begins 10 a.m. The Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup began in 1994 when a small group of aquarium employees got together and cleaned up a beach in Stanley Park. It has evolved into a national program with more than 57,000 volunteers in 2012. For information on other cleanups in Nanaimo, please go to www.shorelinecleanup. ca/en/search/cleanups/ fall2013. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

In Loving Memory of our beloved son, brother, uncle and brother-in-law. Memories don’t fade, they just grow deep for the one we loved, but could not keep. We hold back tears when we speak your name, but the ache in our hearts remains the same. No one knows the sorrow we share when the family meets and you’re not there. We laugh, we smile, we play the parts, behind it all lies heavy hearts. Unseen, unheard, you’re always near, so loved, so missed, so very dear.
We love and miss you, Mum, Dad, Lisa, Candice, Kris, Nickolas, Matthew and Owen
Love you forever, love you for always, as long as I'm living, my: love, Dad, son, brother, uncle, nephew, friend you will be.
â•
Richard you will always and forever be in our hearts. We miss you, Tara, Teri & Mike, Jaclyn, Garth & Judy, Kevin & Patti, Kim & Bruce, Brad & Janet, all your family and friends.

’Dawgs will play ferocious football I
Quickfacts
HIGH SCHOOL football starting this week.
HOME OPENER for Barsby will be against Ballenas on Oct. 4 at 6 p.m. at Merle Logan Field.
BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
The goal, said the coach, is to build a better Barsby. The John Barsby Bulldogs AA varsity football team kicks off its regular season Friday (Sept. 20) in North Vancouver against the Argyle Pipers. It’s expected to be one of those games this fall in which the heavily favoured ’Dawgs will run roughshod over the other team. It will be imperative, therefore, for players to challenge themselves. “Our journey is, how do we get better as individuals and as a team?” asked Rob Stevenson, the team’s coach. “If we can build a better Barsby then we can take that onto the playing field and play pretty good against an opponent.” The Bulldogs are building on a firm foundation. The offence is balanced, the defence is stingy and special teams have been superb, said the coach. “We’re blessed with hard-working kids and athletic kids. It’s a great situation to have,” Stevenson said. Offensively, he said the team has shown the ability to run the ball or pass the ball, so a defence that loads up against one or the other will be leaving itself vulnerable. Big Grade 12 vet Brody
FIRST HOME GAME for NDSS will be against Windsor on Oct. 4 at 1:45 p.m. at the school field.
NDSS Islanders go on attack The Nanaimo District Islanders envision a new game plan this year – no more “three yards in a cloud of dust,” said the coach. “I think the days of 14-7 ND wins are going to be up to 38-36 ND wins this year,” said Nate Stevenson. Nanaimo District Secondary School’s AA varsity Islanders don’t have a ton of size this year, but they have speed and skill. “So we’re trying to hang our hat on that, use our advantages and get to the point of attack quick,” Stevenson said. Running backs include Jérémie Cheng, Thomas Eytcheson and Brennan Mattes. Quarterback Cole McGarvey is an accurate passer who will be able to connect with receivers Tyus Barfoot, Malik Besseghieur and Brett Ablitt. Offensive lineman McIntyre Barrera is team captain.

Taylor and Grade 11 gunslinger North Rainey will both get chances to play quarterback. Numerous players will run the ball, including tailbacks Brandon Parker, Kyle Vollet, Tyler Harvey and Dane Larsen and fullbacks Trentyn Anderson, Cole Virtanen and Chance MacKayTopley. The offensive line is anchored by Tristan (Petey) Slotte and Ryan Stratton.
Nanaimo News Bulletin 21
The receiving corps is led by Kalven Kellock, with Mark Dhamia and Naythan Vogt also contributing. On defence, the secondary has been “lights out,” said Stevenson, showing an ability to force key turnovers. Virtanen at free safety, corners Shawn Arabsky and Duc Truong and Blair Gould are some of Barsby’s ball hawks. The linebacking corps includes Parker
Bowles, Vollet, Anderson, MacKay-Topley and Sheldon Robertson. As Barsby builds, it has all the tools – guys who are tough as nails, guys who will put the hammer down, guys who will execute a chainsaw offence. “We’re excited about this,” said Stevenson. “I think the Barsby football team is going to play some pretty ferocious ball.” sports@nanaimobulletin.com
Clippers play first at home BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
The Nanaimo Clippers are scoring, winning and generally having a great time so far this season. Now they get to share the fun with their fans. The city’s junior A hockey club holds its home opener on Friday (Sept. 20) at Frank Crane Arena against the Victoria Grizzlies. “I’m really excited for it,” said Spencer Hewson, Clippers rookie. “A lot of guys are starting to talk [it up] to friends: fill the Frank on Friday. If we can get a crowd out there we’re going to put on a good show for them.” The Clippers (3-0) have shown a well-rounded game early in the 201314 B.C. Hockey League season. Coach Mike Vandekamp said the team has shown speed and skill, he’s liked the goaltending and the defence corps has looked strong. Fans at the home opener, he said, will hopefully see a hard-working team. “That’s been the case so far,” Vandekamp said. “We’re happy with the way the guys have come together early on in the year.” GAME ON … The Clippers and Grizzlies play Friday at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane. The Clips then visit the Powell River Kings on Saturday … To read an expanded version of this article, please visit www. nanaimobulletin.com. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

V.I. Raiders focused on Rebels
The V.I. Raiders will need to keep winning to maintain their first-place standing. Nanaimo’s Canadian Junior Football League squad faces its next challenge this Saturday (Sept. 21) when it takes on the Westshore Rebels in Victoria. Last week’s 41-27 victory
over the Langley Rams was a big one, but the Raiders said afterward they needed to keep pushing forward. “Every game is a different game and every team is a different team. Anything can happen; it’s football,” said Andrew Deleon, Raiders running back. “We know we’re
not the best but we also know we’re not the worst and we’re ready for whatever comes our way.” GAME ON … The Raiders (5-2) and Rebels (1-6) kick off Saturday at 7 p.m. at Bear Mountain Stadium in Langford. Tickets will be available at the gate.

The Nanaimo Buccaneers are skating a few strides ahead of the rest of the North Division to start the season. The city’s junior B hockey team won two more games last week, 5-0 over the Oceanside Generals and 4-1 over the Comox Valley Glacier Kings, to improve to 4-0
so far in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League campaign. The Bucs host the Glacier Kings Thursday (Sept. 19) at 7:15 p.m. at the Nanaimo Ice Centre. Tickets will be available at the door. To read an expanded version of this article, visit www.nanaimo bulletin.com/sports.
Vancouver Whitecaps FC’s soccer academy program is hitting the pitch for another season on the Island. The club announced Craig Angus as the Island academy’s coach. Nanoose Bay’s Arbutus Meadows Equestrian Centre will be the official indoor training centre for the academy. “We look forward to working with all clubs, associations and players on the Island as we continue to move in a direction that supports everyone in the region,” said Dan Lenarduzzi, Whitecaps director of soccer development, in a press release. The Caps will run a pre-prospects academy for players in U8-U12, as well as an invite-only prospects program for players in U12-U17. Boys’ tryouts are Sept. 30 and girls’ tryouts are Oct. 2. For more information, visit www. whitecapsfc.com/ academy.
Redmen lose first of season The Nanaimo Redmen suffered their first setback of 2013, but they didn’t go down without a fight. The city’s Vancouver Mainland Football League squad lost 31-13 to the North Delta Longhorns on the road Sunday. “They are very big and physical, but our team held up well,” said Sean Roden, Nanaimo coach, in an e-mail. “We made some very big mistakes in the effort to make plays on the ball and gave up several long passes, which inevitably cost us the game.” Redmen quarterback Jonah Wassell had two rushing touchdowns. Nanaimo’s next game isn’t until Sept. 29 when it hosts North Surrey.

Island artists share creations in annual show
A
dozen glass art studios will gather at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre Sept. 28 for an annual show and sale. Artists who work in stained glass, kiln cast, fused, lamp-worked, sandcarved and furnace-blown glass will have their creations on hand during the event. Their array of work ranges from functional to decorative and architectural applications: window and door panels, lamps, jewelry, vessels, glass sculpture and more.
“This show began with glass artists looking for new ways to connect with the public,” said Christopher Smith, a professional art glass creator in Nanaimo for 35 years. “We set the show up as an arts festival with the artists at their displays.” More than 500 visitors attended the spring show. The one-day show runs 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Dodd Narrows Room. Admission is by donation to the Loaves and Fishes food bank.
A multimedia exhibition, in which installation, sculpture, video, photography, and found-objects contest ideas of land-use, private property, and local history opens at the campus Nanaimo Art Gallery Friday (Sept. 20). With influences including carpentry, Constructivism, and Conceptualism, and using new and re-purposed wood, Nathan and Cedric Bomford creatively “stake a claim” with a large interactive installation assembled on the exterior deck of the gallery at VIU campus. With this exhibit, titled The Claim, Nathan and Cedric Bomford continue their collaborative exploration of Vancouver Island’s history and geography, through the creation of large-scale constructions. Using found and reused materials, the brothers build installations that in the past have featured rooms, THE CLAIM exhibit by enclosed open Nathan and Cedric spaces, and Bomford opens at viewing platcampus Nanaimo Art forms, all conGallery Friday (Sept. nected through 20), 5-7 p.m. Artist’s various pastalk is set for Sept. 21 sageways. at 1 p.m. The Claim takes the form of mine pit-head. These works appear only partially finished, with designs that look both improvised and open-ended. There is a consistent play on scale in these works, reproducing in miniature whole buildings that fill to capacity gallery spaces. The results are disorientating. These are interactive works that visitors enter, rather than stand back and observe. It is this physical motion, this passage through the art that is critical to uncovering meanings. The structures determine and pace our movements, direct our eyes, confuse our sense of scale, and highlight the role of space in social interactions and experiences. In presenting spaces in this way, the Bomfords expose the relations of power that lie just beneath the surface of everyday life, and yet which determine so much of its shape. Nathan Bomford is currently based in Shawnigan Lake. ◆ See ‘FAMILY’ /B9

Tour about more than just music
I
BAnd RAiSeS money for music therapy.
This October, The Lion The Bear The Fox is hitting the road in support of much more than its debut EP. The Vancouver- and Ladysmith-based folk/rock trio has partnered up with Music Heals to raise money to bring the Bandwagon, a mobile recording studio used by music therapists, to Vancouver Island, and each show on their We’d Be Good Men EP Release Tour from Oct. 8-25 will benefit that campaign. Bandwagon is the world’s first mobile recording studio designed specifically for use by music therapists, and it contains microphones, instruments, a computer, recording software and more to aid therapists to work with patients. Currently, there is one stationary Bandwagon at B.C. Children’s Hospital and one that travels around Greater Vancouver for six-week residencies. The Lion The Bear The Fox will donate 25 per cent of the proceeds from each of their shows on their October tour toward bringing the Bandwagon to care centres and hospitals on Vancouver Island. “The guys in the band have intimate first-hand experiences with the power of music therapy, and there are no better advocates for the potential difference that this project can make,” said Chris Brandt, executive director of Music Heals. “We’re excited to bring Bandwagon to the Island for the first time.” Christopher Arruda and Cory Woodward of Vancouver and Ryan McMahon of Ladysmith hope to raise $10,000 to dedicate Bandwagon to Vancouver Island music therapy programs for six months. Music Heals will round up any funding to the nearest multiple of $2,500. The Bandwagon project is inspired by
the life and strength of Megan McNeil from North Delta, who was just 20 years old when she died after battling adrenal cancer since the age of 16. McNeil wrote a song called The Will to Survive as a tribute to other children fighting cancer, some of whom she met in chemo wards and hospital hallways during treatment. In 2010, McMahon helped McNeil arrange and record her song, and he’s been sharing her story and message ever since. Woodward also had a chance to get to know McNeil and has been a big supporter of her fight to end childhood cancer. “Megan’s Will to Survive song, video and entire campaign wouldn’t have seen the light if not for music therapy,” McMahon said. “So
there’s the first-hand relation for me. I just know how music affects me on a dayto-day basis. I can only imagine what having music at one’s fingertips would mean to someone suffering from an illness of some kind. Music heals the soul … it’s been proven.” The Lion The Bear The Fox is currently hard at work recording its debut EP, We’d Be Good Men, which will be released Oct. 1. It took Arruda, Woodward and McMahon more than 30 years to find each other but only one month to realize they were meant to join their voices as one. Over wine, campfires and nights in cheap hotel rooms and woodland cabins, an unshakeable bond began to form. The 2013 Peak Performance Project
Top 20 finalists will celebrate the release of their album during their first western Canadian tour as a band, playing in Nanaimo Sept. 28 as the opening band for Elliot Brood at the Queen’s. Doors open at 8 p.m. Tickets $13/ advance at Lucid, Harbour City Music, the Dog’s Ear and the Queen’s; $17/door. In addition to The Lion The Bear The Fox’s tour, any venue or artist can add themselves to the Music Heals Bandwagon. They encourage anyone to donate a portion of proceeds from an event or evening of music to help bring the mobile recording cart to music therapists on Vancouver Island. For more information, please contact Cathleen McMahon at info@mmgrp.ca or 250-668-3338.

Family often collaborates John McDermott u From /1 He works mainly in photography and installation, and has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in Germany and across Canada. Much of his recent work has been completed in collaboration with his brother, Cedric, and his father Jim Bomford. Cedric Bomford currently lives and works in Vancouver. His installation and photographic work has been exhibited internationally and he has participated in residencies in Europe, Asia, Australia and North America. His work often focuses on the power dynamics established by constructed spaces and takes the form of largescale rambling improvisational architectural installations.
www.nanaimobulletin.com
The projects follow a methodology he calls “thinking through building” in which construction takes on an emergent quality rather than an illustrative one. Concurrent to this installation work is a rigorous photographic practice that oscillates between research for and documentation of the installation works. An opening reception is set for Friday (Sept. 20), 5-7 p.m., at the campus gallery. An artist’s talk is scheduled for the day after, Saturday (Sept. 21), at 1 p.m. The exhibit runs until Jan. 11. For more information, please visit www.nanaimoartgallery. com or call 250-740-6350. The gallery is located at Vancouver Island University.

Tips donated to foundation
For the second year, estheticians and hair technicians at Breze Salon and Day Spa at Country Club Centre are helping to make vulnerable students’ back to school a bit brighter with a $1,400 donation to the Nanaimo-Ladysmith Schools Foundation Stock the Lockers campaign. Staff contributed five per cent of their tips on services toward the charity. Last year Breze donated $1,000 to Stock the Lockers and they wanted to give again this year to help local kids in need start the school year on the right foot. Staff members at Breze have been donating their tips for six years and have contributed to a variety of charitable organizations. Donations can still be made to Stock the Lockers via cash or cheque to the NanaimoLadysmith Schools Foundation by calling 250-753-4074 or online at www.nlsf.ca. Tax receipts will be issued for donations over $20. The Nanaimo-Ladysmith Schools Foundation raises money and works in partnership with teachers, administrators and counselors in Nanaimo school district to deliver support programs that better the lives of students in need.

Beefs & bouquets BOUQUET To Dairy Queen for the delicious cake. To Flowers Direct for long-lasting flowers. Sears for the portrait. BEEF To the three teenage boys in matching skinny jeans – one in turquoise, one in powder blue and one in salmon. You looked like characters from the Strawberry Shortcake cartoon. BOUQUET to the amazing RBC client who turned in money and papers on Sept. 3. Thank you for the thoughtful and morally generous act of kindness. BEEF To members of the Royal Canadian Legion pushing to put a cenotaph in Huddlestone Park. What a silly place – a 90-year-old vet won’t like walking down a hill, sitting for an hour and then walking back up to the legion. BOUQUET To the phone company’s utility van that stopped and let me walk at a crosswalk. It’s the first time I’ve ever had a positive customer experience with the phone company. BEEF To Canada Post. Sent a thank-you card August 2011. Received it back marked wrong address August 2013. Took two years. Sent a Christmas card to same person December 2011. Also received it back same day in August 2013. Took one and a half years. Just waiting for the card I sent December 2012 to be returned, but it’s only been 10 months. BOUQUET To the two glowing ‘stick people’ that entertained campers at Rathtrevor Provincial Park on Aug. 24 weekend. You were very entertaining and looked really cool.
acknowledgement of customer loyalty. The professionalism that they and their excellent staff demonstrate has led to the ongoing successful operation of this charming venue.
BEEF To the recycling place whose website claims the depot is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., so I loaded up the car and arrived at 6:15 p.m. The gate was locked and a sign said, “Sorry, today we closed at 5:30 p.m.” Wasted a 10-km round trip. That’s certainly good for the environment. BOUQUET To the folks at Alternative Groove Skate and Surf Shop, for going above and beyond when dealing with a warranty issue for my husband’s Smith sunglasses. You guys have fabulous customer service. BEEF To the lady driving the minivan who thinks it’s safe to allow multiple dogs to jump on her lap and all around the van while driving. Did you not see that you almost hit that parked car because of your attention on the dogs? If you can’t confine your dogs safely while driving then leave them at home. BOUQUET To the person who tracked down our car in a grocery store parking lot to leave a note with smiley face on the windshield. If we forgot our gas cap from filling up it was with the attendant. Wasn’t ours but nice person. BEEF To any of you that feel the need to not smile back at people, respond rudely or act condescending when asked anything. Honestly, everyone is equal. I hope that one day you find inner happiness.
BEEF Please move on to more important matters for our community. We can live without passenger rail service on the Island – definitely not a priority.
BOUQUET To the kind gentlemen at the end of Dewar Road for cutting the grass and broom from the side of the road when the city has ignored our street. It was terribly overgrown and your efforts have not been overlooked.
BOUQUET To Peter and Nicole from Astera Taverna for their many years of great food and service. We also appreciate their
BEEF To the woman parked beside me in the visitor parking at the high school. Why did you start pulling out when my daughter
was walking toward my car? Don’t you know that you should not start driving your vehicle while someone is walking toward you?
BOUQUET To the people who helped me and the medical personnel who came when I fell in the parking lot at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital and broke my ribs on Aug. 28. You all rock. BEEF To the drivers coming out of Cavendish Boulevard on to Avonlea Drive. There is a stop sign at Cavendish – this means come to a complete stop, not slow down a little and drive right through while looking both ways. BOUQUET To Jane and Olivia of Connect Hearing in north Nanaimo for replacing my hearing aids. My aids were destroyed in a tragic float plane accident and they replaced them for free, saving me a lot of grief. BEEF To the coupon shopper that swore
Nanaimo News Bulletin B13
at customers and at the friendly cashier at the checkout. You made an absolute spectacle of yourself over stupid coupons; you should be ashamed.
BOUQUET To the person who turned in my photo prints and book that I left in my shopping cart at Costco. Your integrity is inspiring. BEEF To the abusive man sitting beside us at the restaurant. Your wife had just been diagnosed with cancer and as she sat crying silently you ate your food and completely ignored her. When you did speak it was with contempt and annoyance. You disgusted us so much we couldn’t finish our meals. BOUQUET To the service department at Nanaimo Toyota for taking care of me when it took longer than anticipated to service my car. And to Bill for shuttling me around everywhere. BEEF To the plumbing company that quoted me a price then added charges for steps and removal fee. What’s the point of a quote? Nanaimo is small and word travels. BOUQUET To the new Mercedes dealership. Courtesy, knowledge and efficiency as well as a non-aggressive sales approach make this an extremely comfortable venue to visit and set a new standard of excellence in the automotive sales area. BEEF To the servers at the pub. My friend and I waited 20 minutes for our drinks, and when my friend was paying for his dinner he pulled a $50 bill out and went to grab change, you were rolling your eyes. Smile – you might have got a better tip. BOUQUET To Al for finding and returning our camera that was accidentally left behind at the fish station. We wish you the biggest catch ever on your next trip out.

Also on pop up page 3, the banner implies an additional 15% off all advertised LG laundry pair prices, when in fact the advertised price is the final price after the 15% reduction. We cannot offer an additional 15% off the advertised prices. Finally, on page 23, the Silver Grand Theft Auto V Money Clip that was advertised as a free bonus gift with the purchase of Grand Theft Auto V for the September 17 midnight/ early opening events will not be available. Instead, the first 50 customers will receive a $5 gift card. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our valued customers.

Pilot flies high among SUV contenders Inbrief I H wheels
HONDA SPORT-UTE comfortable, practical for families.
BY NEIL MOORE onda forged its reputation on a lineup of small, dependable and fuel-efficient vehicles. But with the passing of time, its models increased in size, along with the North American waistline and the propensity for our smaller families to carry far too much stuff. But that’s another discussion, and for those buyers who still need to haul several kids and hockey bags, the intermediate sport utility – a rugged alternative to the bland minivan and gas-guzzling, full-size SUV – seems to be the vehicle of choice. It’s a competitive segment, and one in which the Honda Pilot completed its best year ever in Canada, selling 5,807 units in 2012. This SUV also sits pretty much in the middle of its class when it comes to size, having similar dimensions as competitors. Ditto for cargo space. Still, Pilot’s 2,464-litre maximum cargo hold (1,351 litres behind the second row) is ample for most needs, and was a huge help in clearing out my father’s basement. And unlike some three-row SUVs I’ve driven, the Pilot offers usable space behind the third row – 589L. Honda is a master in carving out bins, nooks and crannies for all your loose items, and in the Pilot, this begins with its large, multifunctional centre console. Lift the armrest for another deep bin that houses both 12- and 115-volt power outlets, along with aux and USB inputs for your MP3 player. There’s another cubbie just below the HVAC controls, a handy partitioned tray above the glovebox, and dual-level storage below each of the door handles. Honda has thoughtfully lined most of these with a

The Honda Pilot received a new front grille last year when the new generation of the sport-ute debuted. It complements the vehicle’s rugged, squared-off look that includes large wheel arches, and short front a rear overhangs.

ture settings as a part of the standard three-zone climate control. They can also enjoy available seat heating, manual sunshades (Touring only) and an optional rear entertainment system. The latter feature is one I always enjoy on long trips, as my kids quietly watch their favourite movies – with headphones – while my wife and I talk or listen to music. The third-row seats aren’t as sumptuous, but as long as the middle passengers slide forward a little, the 60/40 split bench will accommodate fullsize adults. But only two comfortably, three in a pinch. In terms of power, Honda’s proven 24-valve i-VTEC 3.5L V6 is no slouch. Its 250 horsepower is enough to move the Pilot’s 2,091-kilogram curb weight with ease, and a little punch when needed. Step hard on the throttle, and the five-speed automatic downshifts briskly yet smoothly, and with a minimum of engine roar entering the Pilot’s well-insu-

lated cabin. Off the line, takeoff is good with zero to 100 km/h acceleration in just under nine seconds. Of course, such driving will have you spending unnecessary time and dough at the fuel pump, so a lighter foot is needed to achieve anywhere near the rating of 12.3L per 100 kilometres in the city and 8.2L/100km on the highway. The Pilot’s suspension – Mac struts up front and multi-link in rear – is forgiving and contributes to its excellent road manners in the city. Steering is light, and with a relatively tight turning circle, I had few problems piloting this large vehicle in and around mall parking lots. There are plenty of worthy vehicles in this class, some of which include safety nannies you won’t find on the Pilot. But if you’re looking for a comfortable, practical family hauler – one with Honda’s stellar reputation for build quality – this vehicle should be high on your list.

Ford thinks that some sci-fi ideas could one day become a reality in its vehicles. The automaker is studying communications between space robots and Earth to enhance future applications of the connected car communications protocol. Ford is partnering with the telematics department of St. Petersburg Polytechnic University in Russia on the project. Telematics – the longdistance transmission of digital information – developed for use on space stations provide excellent potential for improving the reliability of future vehicleto-cloud, vehicle-toinfrastructure, vehicle-tovehicle and other forms of communication.
GM’s pickups most powerful GM’s pickup trucks are this year’s strongman winners. According to the automaker, the 2014 Silverado 1500 and the Sierra 1500, available this fall, will be the most powerful pickups in their class. The pickups will come with a 6.2-litre V8 producing 420 horsepower. The 6.2litre V8 available for Silverado LTZ and High Country and Sierra SLT and Denali models deliver class-leading trailering capacity of 5,443 kilograms. “Power and towing capacity are fundamental capabilities for full-size pickups,” said Jeff Luke, GM executive chief engineer.
