Shopping malls top city’s tax rolls in 2013

Teachers vote for full strike By Karl yu The News BulleTiN

Nanaimo teachers and their colleagues across the province have given an overwhelming mandate to escalate job action in their dispute with the province. Eighty-six-per cent of teachers voted in favour of stepping up action. In a news release, Jim Iker, provincial union president, said a decision had not been made on whether to go to a full-scale strike or to increase rotating strike dates. Mike Ball, Nanaimo union local president, told the News Bulletin that there was no announcement as of press time but negotiations would be ongoing. “We’ll be calling for government to put pressure on and have bargaining as many hours as needed to get a deal before any escalation might take place,” Ball said. He said the union met Wednesday looking at its last proposal and seeing where adjustments can be made to try to get closer to a deal. See ‘NEGOTIATION’ /4

Nanaimo North Town Centre ranks second-highest taxpayer By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN

Nanaimo North Town Centre has shot up the ranks of the city’s top taxpayers, securing the No. 2 spot in 2013. The Nanaimo shopping centre became the second-highest paying property owner in the Harbour City last year, with $1.8 million in total taxes, according to the 2013 draft Annual Municipal Report. It’s a big change from the TOP FIVE TAXPAYERS last half-decade, IN NANAIMO which saw the WOODGROVE CENTRE – mall maintain a $4.4 million; sixth-place spot. Most of the NANAIMO NORTH TOWN other top 10 propCENTRE – $1.8 million; erties saw little or NANAIMO FOREST no movement. PRODuCTS – $1.44 Wo o d g ro v e million; Centre, for example, has been COuNTRY CluB CENTRE No. 1 since 2008, – $1.4 million; with $4.4 million in taxes paid FIRST CAPITAl CORP. – last year while $1.3 million. Nanaimo Forest Products was bumped down one spot to No. 3 in 2013 with total taxes of $1.44 million. According to Brenda Truong, spokeswoman for Shape Properties, an owner in Nanaimo North Town Centre, the increase in taxes is mainly because of the new 125,000-square foot Canadian Tire store, as well as new buildings like Tim Hortons and Umai Sushi.

deficit for the 2014-15 school year. “I just hope that they hold up to their end of the agreement piece that says that they would fund it in addition to, so that we don’t see it built into the [school district budget],” Zver said. There is also language dealing with the ongoing dispute between B.C. teachers and the province. Union members would not be docked pay if they decide not to cross picket lines due to an expected lockout at the end of the month, read the release. The union will continue to support teachers, according to Zver. “I’m hoping that we can come away with an agreement and move away with some, I guess as we would say on the CUPE side, ‘our labour peace’ and we wish the teachers well and we will support them so they can achieve what they want out of collective bargaining,” he said. Negotiation dates between the local and school district are yet to be determined.

propoSEd tErmS see 5.5-per cent wage increase. By Karl yu The News BulleTiN

B.C. education support workers, including ones in Nanaimo, have a tentative five-year deal in place with the province. The deal still needs to be ratified – a vote takes place on Monday (June 16) and Tuesday – and will form a framework for an agreement between Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 606 and the Nanaimo school district. “It is a tentative agreement...” said Rob Zver, Local 606 president. “It has to still be approved by the provincial and the local bodies.” As proposed, the contract would run from July 1 until June 30, 2019 and see a wage increase of 5.5 per cent during its duration. It is said to fall in line with recent agreements for other public sector employees. According to a union press release, all increases in the pending deal are “fully funded by the provincial government,” which will ease the financial burden on the school district’s operating budget. Nanaimo had to deal with a $5.4-million budget

“In this particular case, we’re paying more taxes because we’ve done more leasing,” Truong wrote in an e-mail. “It’s an example of a win-win, good for the shopping centre and good for the City of Nanaimo.” Nanaimo’s major shopping centres are all among the highest paying property owners in the city. Seven of the top 10 are retailers. The numbers are no surprise to Jason Winton, vice-president and managing broker of Colliers International Nanaimo. Property taxes are based on assessed values, which take into

account previous transactions and over the past five years a great majority of the shopping centres in Nanaimo have sold for benchmark high prices, he said. “What that does of course is continually raise the bar as far as values go.” Winton says malls are the most valuable real estate. “People look at a huge piece of oceanfront and they see that as having a lot of value. The problem with that is it’s not an investment,” he said. “When it comes to income-producing properties, retail is at the top of the chain and the largest malls are at the top of that.”

Should more rotating strike days be added or a full strike occur, the Nanaimo school district advises parents to follow the same protocol that has been in place since the current job action began. “It will be the same routine. Parents are asked not to send students to school; there will be no bus service, etc.,” said spokeswoman Donna Reimer. “We will send information to parents once we are informed about the next strike action to affect our district.” Reimer said an allout strike on Monday won’t take place as the district heard that the 72-hour deadline for issuing notice has passed. The province was not surprised by voting results. “While the BCTF leadership received the mandate they sought, no one should interpret this as any kind of enthusiasm on the part of teachers to shut down schools,” said Education Minister Peter Fassbender.

Coal mine fix earns city award The City of Nanaimo has landed a provincial safety award for its work to fix an underground coal hole. The B.C. Municipal Safety Association presented Nanaimo with the City of Excellence, Innovation in Safety award this week for taking steps to address safety when it found a collapsed 19th century mine beneath a road surface in 2013. The recognition highlights excellence in underground disturbance practices. Cathy Cook, executive director of the safety authority, said it took extra work on behalf of the municipality to make sure the public and city employees were protected after a collapsed mine was discovered and the steps taken were nothing short of amazing. “They had to be innovative and creative in establishing safe procedures for their workers,” she said. A drilling exercise along Victoria Road and Pine Street last October found that a shallow mine had collapsed a couple of metres beneath the surface, creating an eight-metre deep void. Rick Kroeker, the city’s manager of health and safety, said winning the award is great and a reflection on the whole safety program the city has. It is the third recognition the city has received for its safety practices. It won the City of Excellence Gold Standard award in 2010 and an honorable mention in 2011.

Tax breaks top $1.5M

moSt orgaNizatioNS add to Nanaimo citizens’ quality of life. By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN

A hundred organizations were given a tax break in 2013, a new report shows. The City of Nanaimo has released financial statistics in its draft 2013 Annual Municipal Report, which show $1.5 million in taxes were exempted last year. The number is up from $1.4 million in 2012. According to Coun. Diana Johnstone, chairwoman of the Grants Advisory Committee, permissive tax exemptions are mostly given to non-profits and organizations that add to residents’ quality of life and provide services not otherwise available, like curling or racquetball. There is no limit to the number or value of exemptions granted. Unlike Parksville, which capped tax exemptions at $225,00 over 10 years, the City of Nanaimo generally grants exemptions to eligible applicants, Johnstone said, adding a limit might be something that comes up in the

next round of budget discussions. “I know that we are always being looked upon by our taxpayers to ensure their tax dollars are spent to the best way and I think that perhaps in the future we should look at it for sure,” Johnstone said, although she believes the current system is operating fine and mirrors what’s done in other, similar-sized communities. About 30 per cent of those that received exemptions in 2013 were religious organizations. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Lego build designed to get kids reading

giaNt lEgo whale will be built at Country Club mall.

Nanaimo News Bulletin 7

RCMP tracking down teen’s alleged attacker By Chris Bush The News bulleTiN

By Chris Bush The News bulleTiN

ancouver Island Regional Library and Country Club Centre are planning a whale of a time for kids with a Lego Big Build event aimed at enticing more children to join the library’s summer reading club. Robin Sather, Canada’s only Lego certified professional, will take three days to build a giant Lego whale in Country Club Centre, which partnered with Friends of the Library to sponsor the roughly $4,000 cost to bring Sather to Nanaimo. “[The Big Lego Build] is in support of the summer reading club,” said Julie Carter, librarian at the Wellington branch. “That’s why we’re having it at this time of year. We’re hoping that having this Lego Big Build event at the mall will attract some people who don’t normally use the library and get them all signed up for summer reading club.” Carter hosts a Lego Club build day at the library one Saturday each month for children ages five to 12, which helps drum up interest in the club. The Lego Club takes in 30 children at a time and there is always a waiting list of children hoping to join. Carter said playing with Lego helps develop children’s thinking and motor skills. “It does things like inspire creativity and imagination in children, which helps build an active mind,” Carter said. “It also helps them develop their concentration skills and the ability to sit and work at a task and work towards something.” The summer reading clubs are hosted at Nanaimo’s three library

A 17-year-old girl who stopped to help some kittens at the side of the road became the victim of an abduction attempt in Cedar early Wednesday and Nanaimo RCMP hopes the public can help track down the suspect. The assault happened at about 1:30 a.m. when the victim, who was driving home, stopped her car on Wilkinson Road near the Nanaimo River bridge on Cedar Road to try and shoo some stray kittens off the road. “While she’s herding the kittens, a car pulls up and stops behind her,” said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman. “She gets a very bad feeling from the guy. They exchange a few words and she turns to walk back to her car. As she walks back to her car she’s attacked from behind and thrown to the ground.” The girl fought back as the suspect choked her and tried to drag her into his car. She lost consciousness several times from the choking during the struggle. “As she regains consciousness, she sees the guy running back to his car and then he flees in his car,” O’Brien said. O’Brien said it is unknown why her assailant broke off This is the attack, but it’s possible he was considered a spooked by an random crime approaching vehiof opportunity, cle. The victim sustained numerous extremely cuts, scrapes and bruises from the concerning. attack, but was able to drive herself home where her parents called police. The girl did not require hospitalization, O’Brien said. Nanaimo RCMP’s Serious Crimes Unit is investigating the case and hopes someone might have witnessed part or all of the event. The suspect is described as Caucasian, 20-25 years old, skinny with short hair. He was wearing baggy low jeans, a white or grey T-shirt and a flat-brimmed, dark ball cap. His vehicle is an older white 1990-95 Honda Civic or Toyota, with a dark pinstripe on the door panel and a small spoiler on the trunk. The victim described the car as very loud and had a blue light glowing, possibly inside the windshield area. “This is considered a random crime of opportunity, extremely concerning and we’re hoping people will assist us in identifying this vehicle or person,” O’Brien said. Anyone with information is asked to call Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.nanaimocrimestoppers.com.

Let’s give Games our best efforts

Sometimes a participation ribbon is as good as gold. All of Nanaimo has a chance to participate and be a part of a major sports spectacle and community event, the B.C. Summer Games, in just over a month’s time. The torch was lit two months ago and with the July 17 opening ceremonies drawing ever closer, preparations are ramping up. The need for volunteers is becoming more pressing. The Games are comprised of 19 different sports, contested over four days at Nanaimo’s parks, rec centres and schools, and on Long Lake, Nanaimo River and Newcastle Channel. Thousands of athletes and parents, plus family members, fans, coaches and officials will be descending on the Harbour City. They’ll come for the sport, but the competitions don’t take place in a vacuum – there will be much more to the Games experience than wins and losses on the field of play. Nanaimo happens to a beautiful place in mid-July and we trust the tourists in town that week will be duly impressed. But we don’t have to let our fair city speak for itself – we can speak for it, by being ambassadors, well-wishers and fans, and especially by being volunteers. We are the host city and part of being a good host is ensuring the well-being, safety and comfort of our guests. There are volunteer opportunities to work at the athlete dormitories, for example, or to handle security, or to do umpteen other different duties. The Games are not only a showcase for the best athletes; in many ways, the Games represent sport at its best, purest form. These kids are competitive, certainly, but also sportsmanlike and exuberant and at a point in their youth when dreams are indomitable. We should think big, too. There’s no reason, today, why Nanaimo can’t put on, in five weeks’ time, the best B.C. Summer Games. Any and all of us can offer something, and participate, and help bear the torch. Let’s hold it high. The Nanaimo News Bulletin is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

A clearer picture of this situation is provided by a relentless blogger named Greg Renouf, who specializes in investigating protesters. He follows the money as well as the familiar faces who pop up at protest after protest. In April he reported that the increasingly militant Council of Canadians is supporting the Unist’ot’en camp, along with what he describes as “a host of NGOs, unions, militant anarchists and professional protesters.” Meanwhile in the real world, TransCanada Corp. announced last week its subsidiary NovaGas Transmission has signed an agreement with Chevron and Apache for a gas pipeline that will connect to Pacific Trails. It’s one of four gas pipelines TransCanada has in development for what is planned to be the biggest industrial investment in B.C. history. They can smear it with oil, but gas is the protest industry’s latest target. u Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

‘Chicken Little’ exaggerates dam danger To the Editor,

Re: Colliery dam risk lowered, May 29. Yet another expensive study appears to conclude that there has been an epidemic of ‘Chicken Little’ in Nanaimo. So after spending close to$2 million on studies, do we really have a conclusion? To many taxpayers, the main conclusion is that there is a problem with the decision-making process at city hall which has resulted in a lack of confidence and trust in decision makers. Part of the problem is the continued resorting to incamera meetings and the absence of an objective and unbiased public process to examine costly infrastructure projects. The technical

committee for the Colliery Dams is a step in the right direction, but it was too late in the process and also lacks transparency. With an election coming, it behooves anyone running for council to work towards restoring trust, confidence and an improved decisionmaking process.

Fred Kardel Nanaimo

Extreme weather will stress our dams To the Editor,

Re: Flood signage should be reconsidered, Letters, June 10. Spectacular flows in the Chase River usually come during a rain-on-snow event. We had two such

events in 1996 and 1997. Ninety centimetres of snow fell in a week, followed by 15 centimetres of rain over three days, creating a flow of about 35 cubic metres per second in the Chase River. At that rate, the water flows over the top of the lower dam. That can erode the vegetation away, then the soil and backfill. That exposes the lower concrete face of the dam, which is then unsupported. This is when the concrete can fail, either catastrophically or with a small crack. If the concrete fails all at once, the people in the floodplain are in dire straits. If it cracks, they would be OK, but they would have to evacuate.

Rain-on-snow events have happened with regular frequency in the past and we don’t know what the future holds. All we know is that the weather is likely to get more extreme. All provinces have seen extreme weather and extreme flooding. If we were clever, we would learn from those events and take the prudent, riskaverse option and remove the dams. Instead the Colliery Dam Park Preservation Society has chosen to accept the risk of having 220,000 cubic metres of water over the heads of 1,800 people. Perhaps the flood signage should stay in place.

Some teachers deserve a wage increase, but not all

Perhaps teachers’ salaries should reflect their hard work, not their hard bargaining, says letter writer.

I feel that money and energy are mismanaged. Adults take the bulk of the resources; the children are left nothing but scraps.

Valentina Cardinalli via e-mail

To the Editor,

Re: No easy solution in education spat, Editorial, June 3. There is an easy solution, but it would take mature adults without political agendas discussing and planning for the common good of all children. Premier Christy Clark

appears to have no respect or appreciation for our public education system. The dismissal of teachers’ concerns about class size and conditions shows an arrogance that values self-interest and political agenda more than professional experience and knowledge. I am not a teacher, but I have been taught by some of the best. All children deserve their education to be a priority of government and society.

B. Cooper Nanaimo

Re: Parents should protest education cuts, Letters, June 3. If my memory serves me correctly, the last job action by teachers was all about respect (read: money). This time around it’s all about the students (read: money). I think, like so many others in B.C., that it’s time the government mandated teachers back to work immediately. I believe teachers and all other public service employees often overlook who actually pays them. With their endless vacation time on hand, which most of us can only dream of, perhaps it would bode well for teachers to rethink their strategy and be thankful for what they currently enjoy. And like all in public service, they enjoy plenty. I am tired of seeing my taxes increase simply because a crowd of more than adequately paid employees wants even more.

To the Editor,

Re: Teachers vote on escalating to full-scale strike, June 10. Since my kid started school there have been three strikes. That’s one every other year. Clearly, this is an indication that there are problems with the system, and changes should be made. Regarding wage increases, I am in support of the good teachers. I do feel that some teachers are more deserving than others in this area. Why can’t their salaries reflect the hard work they do, while the teachers who do not put in the extra effort stay at the same pay? Why does it have to be an all or none scenario? I think there are too many positions for people in the school system who never deal directly with the children. This should change. Each person working for the school system should work directly with the children, at least part time. How else can they gain the understanding of how and where things could be improved for each individual child?

Team ready to secure Games I all aBout interaction with people.

security threat level won’t be the same as in other events but dealing the people is the same. “It’s all smiles and chuckles – that’s what it’s supposed to be. People are here to have a good time, the athletes particularly are here to have a good experience and accomplish what they’ve set out to do,” said Foston. Jean-Michel Hanssens, director of security and a retired RCMP officer, said like his police work, it’s dealing with people. “For me it’s not a difficult transition to make,” Hanssens said. “Basically it’s working with people and so [it’s] a scenario I have some familiarity with, although this kind of security work is not the same as police work in a sense that this is smaller security, if you like.” All manner of volunteers are sought for the Games July 17-20.

Athletes will descend on Nanaimo next month for the B.C. Summer Games and security volunteers are preparing and looking forward to many things. Teri Anslow, communications liaison chairwoman for security, likes to be prepared for all types of scenarios but as sometimes happens, the unexpected can occur. She said you have to be able to “think on your feet” and points to her experience in the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Victoria where a volunteer motorcycle rider in a motorcade had an accident prior to a race. “It’s one of those things where you think it’s going to be a simple day, you’re

all set up in communication vans out at the site and all of a sudden everything just went sideways,” Anslow said. She said things had to be shut down as the person was airlifted to hospital, despite the fact race trials were supposed to be taking place. It was tricky but things worked out in the end. Rob Sampson, a Nanaimo RCMP auxiliary constable and chairman of mobile

patrols, said his police experience will help. “The RCMP uses three sections to the city, a north, central, south,” he said. “I’m incorporating that zone system into our training ... that way it’s easy to manage, that way also, through a policeman’s perspective, if we have to call the RCMP, they’ll also be on the same boat as us.” Jim Foston, part of the sport venue security team, said the

Secondary suites approved by RDN Regional District of Nanaimo directors have green-lit zoning bylaw amendments, which will allow for secondary suites on most residential and rural-zoned properties in a majority of electoral areas. The amendments, which will apply to areas A, C, E, F, G and H, mean suites can be located within a dwelling, such as basement suites, detached as either a stand-alone building, like a garden suite, or as part of accessory buildings, such as carriage homes. It is an accessory use on a property and must be maintained within the same legal title as the principal dwelling unit, the regional district specified. “RDN residents are experiencing an increasing gap between what they can afford and the cost of available housing, and secondary suites can help improve housing affordability for both renters and homeowners,” said regional district chairman Joe Stanhope. “Electoral area residents have shown strong community support for secondary suites, and we look forward to seeing more secondary suites integrated into our RDN communities as a result of this landmark program.” Area B land-use planning is governed by the Islands Trust and the cities of Nanaimo and Parksville and the Town of Qualicum Beach already allow secondary suites.

Workshop looks at elder abuse Hear. . .

Nanaimo Family Life, United Way and a network of local agencies serving seniors are asking people to wear purple on Sunday (June 15) to raise awareness about elder abuse and prevention. A free workshop is also available today (June 12), 9:30 a.m. to noon, at Oliver Woods Community Centre for non-profit and government care providers. This interactive workshop will outline a process for effective referrals for adults who are abused, neglected or self-neglecting. To register, please call 250-754-3331. Many elders suffer abuse and neglect – some by family members or trusted advisors, some in institutional settings and others

what they’ve been saying. Chris Carman RHIP/Owner with client Judith Munns

Run supports Special Olympics

laW ENforcEmENt leads fundraiser at Maffeo sutton Park. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN

The biggest annual fundraiser for B.C. Special Olympics is about to sprint out of the starting blocks. Nanaimo’s third annual Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics happens at Maffeo Sutton Park June 21. “The RCMP has supported the Special Olympics through its Law Enforcement Torch Run since the early 1990s and has raised several million dollars to help local athletes achieve their goals through attending local, national and even international events,” said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman.

O’Brien said this year Nanaimo is fielding nine Special Olympians to the games, which are being hosted in Vancouver July 8-12. Nanaimo’s first torch run in 2012 drew 48 participants. That number grew to 77 for 2013 and organizers hope at least 100 people turn out for this year’s event, which includes a warm-up to music by RSM Productions DJ Services, followed by participants’ choice of a fivekilometre run or stroll along Nanaimo’s waterfront and a barbecue in the park hosted by Save-On-Foods. RCMP Emergency Response Team members are also turning out in full response gear for this year’s run. O’Brien said in Nanaimo the event is open to more than just traditional law enforcement members and their families.

“We recognize ser ving members of the military, correctional officers, sheriffs and we open it up to their families and friends,” O’Brien said. Organizers hope to surpass the $3,000 raised at last year’s event and all cash raised support local Special Olympians. Everyone who registers for the torch run gets a T-shirt included with their $20 registration fee. Children under 12 participate for free. Participants can register online at www.sobc.kintera. org/torchrun, at Maffeo Sutton Park the morning of the event or by calling 250-7553257. Registration starts at 10 a.m. at the Lions Pavilion. “It’s a good time,” O’Brien said. “You get to come out and share some laughs with the athletes and support a good cause.” photos@nanaimobulletin.com

smoking-related fires prompt warning

25 pEr cENt of outdoor fires due to cigarettes. By Chris Bush The News bulleTiN

Fire officials are worried it might just be a matter of time before someone in Nanaimo dies because of a fire started by carelessly discarded cigarettes and other smoking materials. Since January, Nanaimo Fire Rescue has battled 85 outdoor fires and 25 per cent of those were sparked by cigarettes or pipe ashes, some which were butted out in outdoor planters that smouldered and ignited. Several fires have been triggered in recent weeks by planters on outside decks and patios that caught fire after smoking materials

were discarded. “That’s not even structure fires,” said Capt. Ennis Mond, fire prevention officer. “We’ve had 85 fires and 25 per cent of those were smoking-related bark mulch fires or something to do with smoking initiated it.” Craig Richardson, Nanaimo Fire Rescue chief, said he finds the recent trend particularly worrisome because once a deck fire spreads into the siding of a house it will rapidly burn through soffits and into attic spaces. Also, planter fires often flare up late at night or in the early morning when people are asleep. “Attics usually don’t have smoke alarms, so before people realize their house is on fire it’s at an advanced stage,” Richardson said. “The classic is the smoker goes out at 10 o’clock at

night to have a smoke on their deck and butts it out in a bone-dry planter and then goes to bed. The planter catches on fire in the middle of the night and nobody’s awake to see it.” In some cases people toss cigarettes in ashtrays and leave them without making any attempt to extinguish them. Richardson also warned people should be equally wary of smouldering barbecues, which have also ignited patio fires. Drivers tossing cigarette butts out their car windows continue to be the cause of many of Nanaimo’s landscape and brush fires. Mond said people need to phone the RCMP when they see drivers tossing butts out windows, even if the only penalty in Nanaimo for doing so is a $500 fine for littering.

“The message really is, if people are engaging in smoking, they need to have the proper tools to manage that habit,” said Karen Lindsay, city emergency program coordinator. People also need to keep aware of what’s going on in their kitchens. Cooking accounted for more than 230 residential fires in 2013 and are the most frequent cause of residential fires in Nanaimo – often because people forget they’ve left something on the stove. To limit the risk of outdoor landscape and deck fires, Mond suggests keeping ashtrays handy and using them to fully snuff out smoking materials. People can reduce outdoor fire risk by replacing garden bark mulch with non-flammable materials such as rocks or gravel.

A new not-for-profit is looking to bring Islanders together to discuss issues ranging from sustainable development to climate change. The Island Roundtable on the Environment and Economy launched on the 25th anniversary of national roundtable’s formation and is now searching for members to discuss

and help solve Island-wide issues. The group is aimed at bringing together lobby groups, academics, politicians and residents at one table where they can share knowledge, network and work on solutions for economy, environment and social interests. Founder and society president Laurie Gourlay said the first task will be to address sustainable development. “Vancouver Island has unique challenges,” he said. “As climate change impacts

come to the forefront, along with water and food security issues and an increasing Island population of some 765,000 residents, important decisions about sustainable development and stewardship will be required.” The work of the society will follow a process and mandate outlined by the B.C. Roundtable on the Environment and Economy in 1994. For more information, please contact Gourlay at 250-722-3444, or thistle@shaw.ca.

We think of you in silence, we often speak your name. All we have are memories, and your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake, with which weâ€™ll never part. God has you in his keeping, we have you in our heart. Daddy, itâ€™s been 5 long years and this year itâ€™s Fathers Day. It might be the hardest one without you. I think about you every day. I love you Daddy - Mina

We are releasing balloons in honour of your memory on Saturday June 14, 2014 Forever loved & never forgotten. Carol, Mom Harry, Dave & Ed

DEATHS

Alan William Nohr It is with the greatest sadness that we announce the passing of Alan William Nohr on May 30, 2014 in Nanaimo BC. Alan was born on May 1, 1947 in Vancouver and moved to Nanaimo in 1950. He will be forever remembered and cherished by Francesca, his wife of 43 years, son Danny (Sarah), daughter Shari (Flavio), grandchildren Jacob, Nicholas and Jessica. Predeceased by his father Alick in 2002 he is survived by his mother Doreen, brothers Gary, Ray, Terry, sister Gail and many nieces and nephews. Alan retired in 2002 after 32 years with BC Tel. Gardening, golf and travel filled his retirement years. Alan loved life and always found the positive side of every day. He looked for the good in people and held his family and friends close to his heart. His best times were spent with those he loved, especially his grandchildren. Gramps saw the â€œmagicâ€? in those little people and their bond was strong. Throughout his battle with cancer he didnâ€™t complain -- always brave to the end. And when the end came, he was surrounded by and in the arms of his family and friends. Every day was better while he was with us and every day will be less without him. He is dearly missed and will remain forever in our hearts. â€œSome People come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same again.â€? There will be a celebration of life at the Nanaimo Golf Club on Sunday, June 22rd , 11:00am to 1:30pm. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to BC Cancer Foundation or Heart and Stroke Foundation.

2324 E Wellington Rd, Monday to Saturday until sold out! Cash or cheque only please! Sun & shade 12â€? hanging baskets, unique designs/variety of flowers, have been reduced to $22. Bedding plants, herbs, tomatoes, perennials, trees.

Timbermen trying to simplify things I SR. A LACROSSE team at home this Sunday (June 15). BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

The Timbermen need to find a turning point pretty soon. Nanaimo’s senior A Western Lacrosse Association

squad is getting ready for a matchup this Sunday (June 15) against the Langley Thunder, the sort of opponent the T-men need to beat to work toward climbing into playoff contention. “It’s getting tiresome saying that we’re young and inexperienced,” said Kaleb Toth, Timbermen coach, after his team’s most recent loss. “Guys, they’ve got to

learn. If they want to start winning games, they’ve got to start playing smart lacrosse. We’re trying to teach them smart lacrosse and simple lacrosse.” The coach is seeing problems with players’ decisionmaking on the floor. Rather than making the simple play, he said, guys are “trying to force stuff that they shouldn’t be forcing.” At the defensive end of

the floor, it comes down to fundamentals like communication. “Everyone needs to know the system defensively, know where they need to help,” Toth said. Nanaimo’s offensive game plan doesn’t need to be overly complicated, either. They know they have to spread the ball around and run the floor. See ‘TIMBERMEN’ /25

Premier Pirates plan to put defence first BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

The city’s fastball players are on their game so far this season, and they need to be – the league is pretty competitive. The Nanaimo Senior Men’s Fastball League features five teams this year and early on there’s a four-way race for first place. “It’s a pretty even league now,” said Todd Belton, league president. “It’s pretty spread out, all the talent.” Games are usually Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursday evenings at May Richards Bennett Pioneer Park and Thursdays at the Wheatsheaf sports complex. For a schedule of upcoming games and GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN more information about the league, Palladian Developments first baseman Mike Sexton, left, catches a pop-up as teammate Tyler Renton please visit www. backs up the play during Nanaimo Senior Men’s Fastball League action Tuesday night at May Richards Bennett Pioneer Park.

The Nanaimo Pirates need to start getting some bounces, and that means they need to start making their own luck. The Hub City Paving Pirates won two of four games last weekend and did a lot of things well, but the coaches weren’t satisfied with the team’s defensive play. Doug Rogers, Pirates manager, said the pitching was fine, but “it can’t overcome having to give four, five, sometimes six outs an inning because of errors.” He said when the team’s defence is on its game, the Pirates are capable of competing with anybody. If they keep practising making plays, they’ll make plays during the game, and will feel more confident doing so. “When confidence goes up, all of a sudden all those plays are easy, the hops are easier. But it works in

reverse, too – when you’re not confident, you seem to always get an in-between h o p ; i t ’s n e v e r smooth,” said Rogers. “It’s a funny game that way, but it’s fair. The game’s fair. It rewards those who work hard and it punishes those who try to cheat.” The Pirates went into the practice week motivated after seeing some positive results last weekend. “It’s good for us; we’re feeling confident,” said T.J. Mah, Pirates veteran. “We got a win to finish off the weekend so I think that will continue on.” The manager agrees. “If we put our mind to it and stay focused, we can climb the ladder and hopefully start reeling in some teams,” Rogers said.

Nanaimo News Bulletin B1

CELEBRATING 20 YEARS

(250)758-3003 • www.calaisspas-billiards.com 4000 CORUNNA AVE, NANAIMO

Educator to entertainer Charlotte Diamond performs in Nanaimo on Saturday (June 14).

Charlotte Diamond spent over a decade as a teacher on the Lower Mainland before switching into a career as a children’s performer. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

BY NICHOLAS PESCOD THE NEWS BULLETIN

lthough it happened decades ago, Charlotte Diamond remembers when she shared the stage with American folk singer Pete Seeger, as if it were yesterday. “I had a chance to spend time with him and observe how he engaged the audience in singing,” Diamond told the News Bulletin. “That gave me a sense of the power of how music can reach people, motivate and them literally make the world a better place by how we interact and how we treat each other.” Since that discovery, Dia-

mond has gone on to become a highly respected children’s singer, releasing popular songs such as Four Hugs a Day, I am a Pizza and Octopus (Slippery Fish). On Saturday (June 14), Diamond will be performing in the Harbour City. The concert, which takes place at the Genesis Christian Centre, is a fundraising event for Discover Montessori School. “They can expect a lot of the well-known favourites,” Diamond said about the upcoming show. Before her career as an entertainer, Diamond spent over a decade educating young minds througout the Lower Mainland.

She explained that while she had an interest in music during her teens – having started out playing folk music – it was simply natural progression, combined with the birth of her first son that led her to becoming a children’s musician.

Quickfacts CHARLOTTE DIAMOND can sing in English, French, Spanish and Cantonese.

“I did a lot of my own music for my own interest,” she said. “When I was at UBC and I was doing French and zoology and

a mixture of courses, I was actually actively studying guitar and folk music and all different kinds of world music as well. That was a major interest for me but it didn’t start in childhood.” Throughout her career, Diamond has released over 13 albums, including 10 Carrot Diamond, which won a 1986 Juno Award for Best Children’s Album and was eventually gold certified. “It was very exciting for me to record an album with 18 songs and win a Juno Award,” she said. “It’s been a wonderful career, but not expected. I am very pleased with the way it happened.”

Last year, Diamond released a 20-page children’s book called Slippery Fish in Hawai’i, which is based on her song. The Queen’s Golden Jubilee Commemorative Medal recipient said some of her proudest moments in her career have been when kids come up on stage and danced with her. “The most exciting thing is when I do a song ... and a little one, a two year old, will come up on stage beside and start doing the sign language beside me. It’s incredible,” she said. Diamond performs June 14 at 11 a.m. Tickets are $15 and are available by calling 250-7600615. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Let us help you feel better

Lee's Desk Pain...a human condition?

While quantities last no rainchecks

It seems almost everyone who comes thru our doors these days complains of some kind of discomfort, usually pain. In North America pain is the single biggest reason we have for seeing the doctor. There are two basic types...the acute and chronic. Acute pain occurs when we injure ourselves...stub a toe...burn ourselves...or break an arm. This kind of pain is important for our survival. It warns us to quit what we are doing and possibly get medical help quickly. Chronic pain, on the other hand, often is not so easily pinned down. It is necessary to realize that pain is the body's way of communicating to us that something is amiss in our world. With chronic pain, because it continues, we often ignore it. We cover it up with drugs and by doing so we never learn what might be causing the problem. Also by covering it up we run the risk of further injury. It is difficult to suggest any course of action for chronic pain. Because of the long term nature of the issue a recovery process is also long term requiring multiple avenues of attack. It is important to suggest here that we should seek medical help to determine if something serious is happening. If not, then we can begin to adjust our lifestyle. Some of the most important changes would be to introduce as much alkaline producing food as possible...reduce processed sugar to none...eat as much fresh food as we can...reduce our animal protein consumption to a minimum...and get a full nights rest. Along with all that, introducing a good natural anti-inflammatory every day would make a big difference. Covering pain up without addressing the underlying cause is often a recipe for disaster. If we can be of any assistance please let us know...we would be happy to help!

Poultry book a stroke of cluck

U.S. AUTHOR shares farm experiences.

By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN

American poultry farmer Victoria Redhead Miller had never intended to become a published author, but that’s exactly what happened to the Washington native in 2013. “I’ve never really tried to get anything published,” Miller told the News Bulletin. “I was never really seriously trying to be a writer.” A year earlier, Miller had been speaking about her experiences raising poultry at Mother Earth News Fair event in Pennsylvania when she caught the attention of Gabriola Island based publishing company, New Society Publishers. “After my second presentation there, Ingrid, the managing editor at New Society Publishers came up and introduced herself to me and said, ‘have you ever thought about writing a book on poultry?’” Miller said

laughing. “We ended up talking for about 45 minutes.” It just so happened that Miller had started writing a book about that very subject a few years earlier, but at the time she hadn’t worked on it much. “Originally the book was just going to be about turkeys and then I played around with it for a year or two and then I got to the point

where I got busy with other things and I got discouraged because it was just slow going and I wasn’t really sure where I was going with it,” Miller explained. The chance encounter in Pennsylvania was enough to motivate Miller to complete her book, Pure Poultry: Living Well with Heritage Chickens, Turkeys and Ducks, which was published by

New Society Publishers last year. “It’s not really a how-to book. If I have to call it one thing I would have to call it a memoir,” Miller said. “It’s completely written in first person. It’s completely written from our own experience with basically the first five years that we were raising heritage poultry.” Pure Poultry provides readers with tips and insights on how to properly raise heritage chickens, turkeys and ducks in a variety of settings. In 2006, Miller and her husband decided to retire and moved from Seattle to Sequim, Wash., where they elected to raise heritage chickens, turkeys and ducks. Miller is currently working on her second book. She reads from Pure Poultry at Nanaimo’s Harbourfront Library on Friday (June 13) from 6 p.m. until 7 p.m. She will also be at Gabriola Island Library on Saturday (June 14) from 2 p.m. until 3 p.m. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

The T5 will debut at the Vancouver Classic Car Show and Auction at the PNE on June 21 and 22. Then it will head south in July to the Mustang Roundup in Bellevue, Washington, the world’s largest Mustang meet. The car is entered in the Concours restoration class and should place well.

Escape offers total package The Ford Escape is a founder member and a top-seller in the hot-selling compact utility club. It came with a new-look exterior, an interior makeover and improved safety features for the 2008 model year, all included a complete second-generation redesign. Although it doesnâ€™t look too much different from its predecessor, the â€™08 Escape has a wider stance and a slightly higher belt line than its predecessor and there are no carry-over body panels. A domed hood, bigger grille and new headlamps also give this Escape a slightly more aggressive look and it has better off-road attributes in terms of approach, break-over and departure angle capabilities. A base front-drive Escape XLS is powered by a 2.3-litre engine. Moving up a step, the XLT trim allowed a 3.0-litre V6 option and a tow package that bumped trailer-hauling capability to 1,588 kilograms. The top-line Limited came with leather, dual climate control air conditioning and Audiophile sound system, more power features, and the V6 engine. Four-wheel-drive was an option with every trim level. If an urban commute is your vehicles primary job and good fuel economy is important thereâ€™s also a hybrid version of the Escape. It has a smoother and quieter powertrain than the first gen-

The MKZ has been selling well and the hybrid model has sold much better than Lincoln was expecting. But the reality is that Lincoln has a long way to go to resurrect this once mighty American luxury

brand. Itâ€™s hoped the brandâ€™s new fashionforward design will attract younger buyers, rather than the older crowd that traditionally purchases the brand.

Helps to relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis. Guaranteed also for rheumatoid and sciatica, (My own affliction). Truthful actual experiences from real people: < For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON <My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA<I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 #1 NPN 80042283 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON<I suffered for years. I tried everything and finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. After this experience I realised I could help many of those 5 million Canadian that suffer every day and night and I started to sell this same type of shark cartilage and helped hundreds of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle Products. <Many people on our website write: “Can walk again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can sleep at night” Rheumatoid arthritis in joints down 90%, same for my sister…hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.

Truthful experience by people: < I am calm now in stressful situations! In the past 10 years I had a very short fuse, because my job is quite unpredictable. After I started Bell Calming Chronic Stress #66 the difference was amazing. My reactions to stressful situations are totally changed. I also have more energy, too. I don’t yell at others. I have more patience and I am much happier as well. Thank you. Mary-Anne Thompson, 61, Lasalle, ON < I suffered greatly from anxiety. #66 NPN 80041855 Standard treatments did not make me feel good. So my mother bought Bell Calming Chronic Stress #66 and it has been helping me a lot. I am on my 3rd bottle. Remington Fletcher, 19, Ponty Pool, ON < I have a very high stress career in the film industry. There was no time for relaxation or meditation as you are on demand for 12-15 hours a day with no breaks. Since using Bell #66I am able to focus on the tasks at hand with more patience. Thank you for your help! Christina Ollson, 36, Burnaby, BC <It’s exactly one year since we began using Bell Calming Chronix Stress #66 for our two sons. Our local health food store recommended it. Both of our sons suffer from anxiety disorders. Our older son (14) was going through puberty and had become quite unmanageable, because he is much larger than I am. We are delighted with the immediate results. Our older son became his former sweet self and our younger son’s (12) anxiety is dramatically reduced. Thank you so much.

Co-operative supports dry grad celebrations through fuel-pump fundraiser

MId-IslaNd CO-Op donates percentage of profits.

Mid Island Co-op donated more than $3,600 to support dry grad events on Vancou-

A portion of the profits from each of the Mid Island Co-op sites will be made to five different dry grad events taking place in June, located in Nanaimo and Ladysmith, Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Salt Spring Island and Chemainus secondary schools.

Trees blessed prior to carving

VIU sTUdeNTs’ Union initiated project that will see totem poles installed at Nanaimo campus.

By Shari BiShoP BoweS

Three cedar trees were honoured in a blessing ceremony by First Nations Elders last month before their harvest and donation to a totem pole project at Vancouver Island University. Nanaimo-based Island Timberlands donated the trees to the totem pole carving project initiated by the VIU Students’ Union. Carving is set to begin Monday (June 16). As the first phase in the totem pole project, the three totems will grace the entrance of Shq’aphut, the Aboriginal Gathering Place at VIU. Future totems will be carved with similar donations of trees by Western Forest Products and TimberWest. Over the summer and fall months, the three cedars will be carved into totems by George Hunt Jr. (Kwakwaka’wakw), Qwaya Sam (Ahousaht First Nation), Noel Brown (Snuneymuxw) and Thomas Jones (Snuneymuxw). VIU president Ralph Nilson, who attended the blessing, said he is impressed by the student-led initiative. “This project exemplifies the

value VIU places on building strong, collaborative partnerships,” Nilson said. “We appreciate Island Timberlands’ support for this project.” The totem pole project is an example of the commitment and support VIU extends to aboriginal students, Nilson added. “When they are raised, these totem poles will signify VIU’s strong, enduring ties to the First Nations people in our region, whose land makes it possible for us to learn, teach and gather on our campuses.” Snuneymuxw Elder Geraldine Manson led the ceremony at a site south of Nanaimo in forest lands owned by Island Timberlands. In her blessing, and in songs by Elder Ray Peter and his sons Thomas and Paul, Manson said the cedars were honoured in the traditional way passed down through generations of First Nations people. “Respect must be given to the cedar tree as it has given up its life,” she said. “A prayer along with a sacred song needs to be sung to the tree’s spirit for providing a great benefit to the people who are about to use it.”

Beefs & bouquets BOUQUET To the gentleman who took my free item which needed to be destroyed, but was too big and heavy for this senior to do. BEEF To the beautiful balmy weather spoiled by volumes of frequent barbecue smoke from a neighbour’s balcony, necessitating having to close the balcony doors and windows on a hot day. I can’t understand why barbecuing on balconies is allowed by apartment and condo owners and the fire department. BOUQUET To the firefighters at Fire Station No. 3. Thank you so much for the wonderful tour in April. You were terrific with all the children. You made the fouryear-old birthday boy extremely happy. BEEF To the driver who hit my SUV in a parking lot and was not honest enough to admit it. That bumper had only recently been replaced from a previous hit-and-run. BOUQUET To Country Grocer for allowing us to purchase super healthy plants at 10 per cent off for our Mother’s Day hanging baskets to raise funds for World Vision.

BEEF To all those motorists who cut off motorcycle riders and an even bigger beef to local law enforcement who spend time enforcing municipal noise bylaws instead of enforcing speeding and distracting driving. Speed kills, and loud pipes save our lives. BOUQUET To the many people, including clerks in stores, who will reach things off the top shelf for you when you can’t get it yourself. BEEF To the City of Nanaimo for not having much larger, more visible signage emphasizing all bicycles to be walked in congested areas of the waterfront walkway especially by the shops. It is challenging to walk in this area on a busy afternoon. BOUQUET To the gentleman who left his rewards points from Chapters at Woodgrove Centre in May so that my grandson’s Geronimo Stilton book was less expensive. I’m certain that you didn’t know the value of our book, however, the true value of your good deed cannot be calculated in monetary terms.

BEEF To the young woman in the tire store. Mind you mouth and manners. No one needs to hear such filthy language. Show some self-respect; talk without telling the whole world your problems.

BEEF To the horse rider in Lantzville who somehow believes that their horse manure provides a lush walk with greenery. It doesn’t appear very lush on the road or the E&N Trail. I’m not the original beefer but found this very amusing.

BOUQUET A standing ovation to LPN Elaine on the sixth floor at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. You are so helpful, knowledgeable, and cheerful. Thank you for all your help on day shift in May, from one of your colleagues.

BOUQUET To Heart of the Island Chorus who represented Nanaimo and Lantzville in Surrey along with 18 other choruses from B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan. They brought home the coveted award of Most Improved Chorus.

BEEF To my car dealer. I recently took my car in for servicing, and they noted I had a minor oil leak and the tread on the rear tires was getting low. The service representative recommended having all four tires changed. The two front tires have only been on the car a few months – did she think because I am a woman I am gullible?

BEEF To the north-end pub that allows smoking on its outdoor patio. I will not be going back as it definitely put a damper on our evening. Nobody else in Nanaimo allows smoking on their patio, why do you?

BOUQUET To following businesses for their kind donations to the Cilaire Elementary School plant sale: Little Tree Garden Centre, Green Thumb Wholesale, Real Canadian Superstore, Canadian Tire, SaveOn Foods and Cinnabar Valley Farms.

BOUQUET To Gallazin Locksmiths for assisting me with what I saw as an impossible fix. Two damaged locks and no key. Gallazin got me back on the road. BEEF To the rude manager at the fitness centre, rolling her eyes at new staff for asking a question. I took my business elsewhere. How do these immature women survive in customer service?

BOUQUET To Nanaimo Recycling Exchange on Kenworth Road for its generous contribution of free recycled hanging baskets for our Mother’s Day sale of hanging baskets for our World Vision fundraiser. BEEF To those who dug holes and trenches adjacent to the power lines above Nanoose Bay. Signage specifically allows walking, cycling, dog walking and horseback riding. I have never seen anything to justify the scars on the landscape. BOUQUET To all the staff at Central Island Veterinary Emergency Hospital and special thanks to Dr. Karen Karsten for the wonderful care shown to Taika over the years, particularly for your compassion and kindness in her final days. BEEF To those who move to rural areas, or choose to enjoy natural surroundings, then complain about horse poop. If hygiene and germs are such a concern to you, please stay in your controlled, sanitized environments. BOUQUET To John, manager at Apple Auto Glass. You really know what you are doing when it comes to resealing thermopane windows in my motorhome. You went above and beyond to do a great job.

Nanaimo News Bulletin B17

BEEF To the taxi driver who hit and possibly killed a dog on Bradley Street. Not only that, but you kept on going without stopping to help. The speed limit is 30 kilometres per hour. Next time I need a taxi I’ll walk. BOUQUET To everyone involved in putting on the most enjoyable fireworks display at the harbour. Nanaimo is the greatest. BEEF To that transit bus driver with the bad attitude toward people who ask him questions. I do not appreciate the disgusted looks you give to people when asked bus route questions. Please try to be nice to people. If you don’t like your job, it obviously shows. BOUQUET To the wonderful lady who brought us ice cream on a hot day when our truck ran out of gas. Eating Häagen-Dazs turned a bad situation into an enjoyable one. BEEF To the thrift store for its used stuff that sells for two cents less than new at Wal-Mart. Customers smarten up. BOUQUET To all the hard-working volunteers for the B.C. Summer Games here in Nanaimo July 17-20. You’ll make us proud. BEEF If people have the legal right to dig holes, trenches and pile material to limit access to the powerline, then they should have the responsibility to control noxious Scotch broom which is in full bloom. BOUQUET To the Brooks Landing West Marine (Wendy) and Save-On-Foods (Colin) for their support of Nanaimo’s Marine Search and Rescue for providing assistance and supplies making our boating safety awareness display and fundraiser successful. BOUQUET To the City of Nanaimo for its usual colourful street banners and international flags. Tourists also love this. BOUQUET To all who have collected pull tabs. A cheque for $140 has been sent to help send a child to a medical camp at Zajac Ranch.
