Event helps youth speak against hate BY CHRIS HAMLYN THE NEWS BULLETIN

Nanaimo youth are speaking out about experiences with hate-motivated behaviour and discrimination. The Central Vancouver Island Multicultural Society presents Stand Up, Speak Out – Youth Against Hate, Saturday (April 21) from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Beban Park Social Centre. The dialogue is a chance to listen, be heard and make changes. It features a panel of 11 youth representing immigrants, refugees and aboriginals. Samantha Letourneau, CVIMS diversity coordinator, said discrimination involving youth is something everyone should be concerned about. “There’s a report from Stats Canada that talks about the increase in hate crimes in the country, and teenagers and young adults account for a significant portion of them,” she said. “They’re not only the perpetrators, but also the targets.” People are often targeted based on race, faith or sexual orientation, and many incidents go unreported. “Someone might not be

aware what they experienced was a deliberate target, but often if the victim lays charges, there is the fear of the retaliation that would come of that,” said Letourneau. “We’ve heard a lot in our society about bullying, but this goes beyond bullying. It’s targeting someone in often violent cases.” The seminar not only allows young people to talk about what’s happening and what they’ve experienced, but why it’s going on in the community. “If we don’t talk about it and examine why this is happening, it’s hard to find out what steps are needed to build a more inclusive and welcoming place for everyone,” said Letourneau. The afternoon includes a photovoice exhibit, where panel members use a camera to record, reflect and critique the issues of discrimination and hate. ◆ See ‘DIALOGUE’ ‘ /7

City looking for interest in old annex BY TOBY GORMAN THE NEWS BULLETIN

For sale: Aging former warehouse, used most recently as city annex. Needs work. Good development potential. Excellent location. Price to be determined. With a new $12-million city hall annex nearing completion, Nanaimo council is seeking expressions of interest proposals from developers interested in the 70-year-old building that currently houses about 200 city workers. The city purchased the building about 10 years ago for $500,000. Last year, it was determined more than $4 million would need to be spent to bring the building up to current seismic codes, resulting in a decision by council to build a new annex. The original building was built seven decades ago as a warehouse. Nanaimo Mayor John Ruttan said it’s hard to tell at this point what interest the site might generate. “There are a few different options that could be done at the location. It’s zoned for a variety of possibilities, so we’ll have to wait and see who shows interest,” said Ruttan. Expression of interest responses, due by June 11, require interested parties to outline a vision for the property, define a purchase price, and perform at least 60 per cent of required seismic upgrades to B.C. Building Code standards. Complete seismic updating is estimated to cost $4-5 million. The assessed value of the site is about $3.5 million. “This way we can sam-

ple the water and find out what is out there and determine what the true market value of the site is,” said Ruttan. “Somebody may want to put a parking lot there, build a condo, who knows? It could well be it proves to be a very desirable site. It’s close to downtown, it has a high elevation for potential good views.” The city will also have the ability to buy the site back if no attempt to renovate or demolish the building is made within two years after purchase. The process is nonbinding. If no interest is received, city staff and council will have to explore other options, said Ruttan. Staff are expected to begin moving into the new annex this fall. The new building is being built to gold LEEDS standards, though city hall voted earlier not to pursue official certification to save almost $30,000 in red tape. The total price tag for the new annex is $15.7 million, which includes contingencies, moving costs, new furniture and equipment. More than $11 million is being drawn from reserve funds. Another $4 million will come from short-term borrowing, which will generate a one-time tax increase of 1.1 per cent starting this year and ending in 2016. A staff report indicates city hall itself is expected to undergo some renovations to make space for city employees from the old annex who don’t move into the new building.

DISAGREEMENT GOING to Labour Relations Board.

BY JENN McGARRIGLE THE NEWS BULLETIN

The teachers’ union and the province disagree over when teachers should next provide report cards to parents. The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association has filed an application to the Labour Relations Board that seeks a directive ordering teachers to prepare and give report cards to parents as soon as possible and for the B.C. Teachers’ Federation to rescind any advice to the contrary. A hearing was scheduled for Monday. Mel Joy, BCPSEA chairwoman, said the association wants teachers to provide information on how students have progressed

from the beginning of the year until now, including first semester final marks for secondary students. “We want some indication of how students have done from the beginning of the year until now, but the [B.C. Teachers’ Federation] is saying only at the end of the year and we’re saying that’s too late,” she said. “The administrators of the schools still do not know how the students have done. That’s a whole year gone without knowing who needs support and that’s just not good enough.” Justin Green, first vicepresident of the Nanaimo District Teachers’ Association, said asking teachers to do report cards for periods that happened before the job action ended amounts to asking teachers to do “struck work”. “To go back and do work that had been struck defeats the purpose of being on

strike,” he said. “We’ve already talked to the board and agreed that we’re going to wait until the LRB ruling before anything moves forward.” Under Phase 1 job action, which ended March 17 with the passage of Bill 22, the Labour Relations Board ruled that report cards were non-essential work, said Green. In Nanaimo, the second round of elementary report cards were scheduled to go out March 16 – before Bill 22 became law, he said, so the period passed while teachers were still on strike. “There’s no requirement to do an extra report card,” said Green. As for secondary students, he said the union agreed to provide first semester marks for Grades 10 and 11 students – marks were already provided for Grade 12 students for graduation and other purposes – but

teachers will not provide first semester marks for Grades 8-9 students. The third reporting term for secondary students is coming up and teachers will be doing report cards detailing student progress so far in the second semester as usual, Green added. Joy likened the situation to the aftermath of a postal worker strike. “At the end of the strike, people still have to get their mail,” she said. “Our schools and our districts are trying to get back to normal.” Jamie Brennan, school board chairman, said the board is following the Education Ministry’s directive to ask teachers to provide the report cards, but he believes it is a small point and one that doesn’t need to be dragged out. Parents were advised if students did not pass courses, he added. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Ruling on whale habitat stands ECOJUSTICE GROUP focused on increasing protection of habitat for all marine creatures.

BY TOBY GORMAN THE NEWS BULLETIN

Ottawa is officially bound to protect killer whales and marine habitat after federal lawyers chose not to appeal a recent court decision. In February, the Court of Appeals ruled in favour of Ecojustice, an organization representing nine environmental agencies including the Georgia Strait Alliance and David Suzuki Foundation, which challenged the federal government that it was not living up to its obligation to protect the endangered species. During the case, which took several years, Ecojustice argued killer whales needed to be protected under the Species at Risk Act, which requires habitat protection for the marine mammals that includes providing adequate food stocks, and not the Fisheries Act, which opened the door for political discretion regarding marine environment. On Tuesday, the window of opportunity for federal lawyers to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada closed without any action. “We were prepared to continue to defend

the decision that interpreted the Species at Risk Act in a way that we thought was appropriate and necessary for the well-being of the killer whales,” said Margot Venton, a lawyer for Ecojustice. “There was no merit in continuing this dispute.” The issue now moves to the action-planning process under the Species at Risk Act, which will take a broad approach to what has to happen to ensure the survival and recovery of killer whales and other threatened marine mammals. Ensuring the whales’ food source, mainly chinook salmon, is adequate, and addressing water and noise pollution will be part of the process. C h r i s t i a n n e Wi l helmson, executive director of the Georgia Strait Alliance, said the government’s next steps will be vital in deter mining how it goes about protecting the habitat of killer whales, wary that the recent federal budget “puts the environment last and weakens environmental protection”. “We’ve identified a lot of the risks but we haven’t done much to mitigate them,” she

said. “Killer whales are really no better off now than when this issue came up eight or so years ago.” There are indications the fisheries ministry wants to depart from dealing with protecting fish habitat under the Fisheries Act, a move that could negatively affect salmon stocks in particular, and thus affect food sources for killer whales. Destruction of salmon spawning habitat was the key motivation for originally including habitat protection in the law. “ E ve r y b o dy wh o is concer ned about salmon in B.C. should be concerned because this indicates a huge shift in policy,” said Venton. There are also indications the government could make amendments to the Species at Risk Act, further weakening protection for species that need it the most, in favour of jobs and economic stimulation. Wilhelmson points

We’ve identified a lot of the risks, but we haven’t done much to mitigate them.

to the death of L112, a three-year-old female from the south coast’s resident L-pod as a solemn reminder that human activity is a threat to the whales’ existence. L112 washed ashore in Washington State in February with massive blunt trauma that could have been caused by Canadian military activity. L112 was a key reproductive member of L-pod, which has less than 90 members. “It’s a red flag and why we need to take

action now,” she said. “When gover nment agencies are potentially impacting whales directly, it’s an indication that we need to get down to the business of protecting these whales and their habitats more quickly.” Venton said they can only take a wait-andsee approach to see what the government does. “You don’t want to be regulating through the Species at Risk Act because when you’re d o i n g t h at yo u ’ re intervening at the 11th hour,” said Venton. “If you’re an endangered species at that point you already have a big old problem.” Ecojustice is a national charitable organization of scientists and lawyers dedicated to defending Canadians’ rights to a healthy environment, providing legal services free of charge to charities and citizens on the front lines of the environmental movement.

Even with billion-dollar deficits to back out of the harmonized sales tax, Kevin Falcon is getting a warm reception on the annual finance minister’s tour of major banks and bond rating agencies. Reached in Toronto between stops in New York and Chicago, Falcon said Thursday’s AAA credit rating reports by Moody’s Investors Services and Standard and Poor’s show that B.C. continues to compare favourably to other jurisdictions emerging from the 2008-09 recession. “In a world of great uncertainty, we’re part of a pretty elite, small club, a shrinking club of jurisdictions that enjoy the strongest possible credit rating,” Falcon said. “There is a lot of investment interest in British Columbia.” B.C. started its fiscal year April 1 with a deficit expected to be $969 million, returning to a $154 million surplus by 2013-14 and a spring election. “The province’s plan to balance its budget by 2013-14 is feasible given its track record of effective fiscal management,” Moody’s said in its credit rating report. Falcon said B.C.’s growing Asia trade is looked on favourably by bankers and private investors. They notice projected spending limited to two per cent overall and a record of meeting budget targets, he said.

THE NEWS BULLETIN

Walking in a straight line might seem like an easy task, but add a little alcohol and it can become a challenging one. Visitors to the Nanaimo C o u r t h o u s e S at u rd ay morning got a peak into the affects alcohol has on the system when they donned a pair of Fatal Vision glasses that simulate different intoxication levels. Christina Ruscoff tried the glasses and said it was much more difficult to walk the line than she thought it would be, adding it felt like she had no idea where she was. “I think [people who drink and drive] would have to be really stupid,” said Ruscoff. Her friend Emily Koot also tried the glasses and

said “it’s crazy to think that there are people driving like that”. Desiree Pombert also tried the glasses, as did her children, and said she couldn’t even see where she was going. Pombert brought her family to the courthouse Saturday during the special open house to celebrate Law Day. Visitors got to tour the cells, watch an RCMP presentation on drugs in the community, attend the trial of the Big Bad Wolf and view an RCMP K-9 unit demonstration. However, people don’t have to wait for Law Day to visit the courthouse. The courthouse is also home to the city’s law library, which is open to the public Monday to Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Janet Howey, branch manager, said librarians can help guide people to the information they seek, adding there are several databases that people can use and all the materials. Law Day helps increase awareness about the

library and its availability for people to access, Howey said. “People don’t think about the law until they need it,” she said. “More and more people are self-representing themselves – no lawyers – and the law library can help them.” The public can also sit in on trials and watch how the legal system works. But David Stanley, who attended the open house, said it can be a little intimidating to go into the courthouse. “I’ve always been curious about what happens in here,” he said. “Now that I’ve been in here, I feel more confident to come in on a different occasion.” He said people should check out their local courthouse and he plans on attending trials to get a better understanding of how the legal system works and what is going on in the local courts. To contact the Nanaimo courthouse library, please call 250-741-3870. reporter3@nanaimobulletin.com

Colony collapse explanation eyed I

BEEKEEPERS SAY recent findings might not apply on Island. BY TOBY GORMAN THE NEWS BULLETIN

assive honey bee die-offs on Vancouver Island and around North America and Europe could be the result of more than mite infestations and difficult winters, according to Harvard scientists. In research results published in the journal Science last month, scientists with the Harvard School of Public Health believe that miniscule doses of a common neonicotinoid pesticide can have a detrimental effect on the nervous system of bees. The pesticides are often used as a coating on seeds, including corn seeds. In dry conditions or during the planting process, the pesticides can be released into the environment, and further studies are being carried out to determine if pesticides remain in the plant as it grows, creating a further hazard to bees searching for food. Managers of large honey bee operations are also known to use corn syrup to feed bees, and it was discovered that trace amounts of the pesticide make it through the process that creates corn syrup into the final product. The pesticide affects the bees’ nervous systems, disabling their homing mechanisms they rely on to navigate their way home. Worker bees, sent to collect nectar, die without being able to deliver food back to the hive. The result is a slow collapse of the colony over several months, an event scientists call Colony Collapse Disorder. In 2010, Vancouver Island bees suffered with populations being decimated by as much as 90 per cent Islandwide, leaving the 1,000 or so registered beekeepers stunned. While numbers picked up marginally in 2011,

Vancouver Island beekeepers say findings of a recent study are important, but there are likely more factors contributing to bee colony difficulties in this region.

“

There are some issues ... but I don’t think it’s a key reason for colony collapses on Vancouver Island.

this year’s numbers are still down considerably with estimates between 50 and 60 per cent, and beekeepers are in the unfamiliar position of having to import bees rather than export them. Brenda Jager, bee inspector for the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture and Lands for Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, says most bee operations on Vancouver Island are small and are unlikely to use corn syrup because it is not readily available here, but that neonicotinoid pesticides are in the environment. “There are some issues with the neonicotinoids in the environment,” said Jager. “But I don’t think it’s a key reason for colony collapses on Vancouver Island. For the

losses on Vancouver Island, I wouldn’t be able to correlate corn planting or pesticide prevalence with the deaths. It could be a factor as well as many other things. There isn’t just one factor that is killing our bees.” Most Island beekeepers, she said, use a sugar solution to feed colonies. But she has also talked to local farmers, who say it is difficult to buy corn seed that is not coated, and therefore containing neonicotinoid pesticides. Still, Jager says weather here is a definite factor for colony collapses on Vancouver Island, resulting in a poor honey crop in 2011 and overall a poor season for bees. “Because of that we expected poor winter survival and that has come to fruition this year,” said Jager. Sol Nowitz, owner of Jingle Pot Apiary, is one of the lucky beekeepers this year, with losses in the normal range of about 15 per cent. In 2010, Nowtiz’s colonies collapsed from about 200 down to 10. In 2011, he tweaked his tried-and-true beekeeping methods to adjust for current threats to his colonies. He attributes Vancouver Island losses to recent cool winters, poor honey production, the import of southern

hemisphere bees that don’t do well in cold weather, and parasitic Varroa mites. But he also subscribes to the pesticide theory for large commercial beekeeping operations in the U.S. “There is a likely connection,” said Nowitz, who has been practising beekeeping for four decades. “Commercial beekeeping in the U.S. is done on a very large scale with bees being moved in huge numbers to pollinate a variety of mono culture crops. These crops provide bees with very little nutrition ... and corn syrup may have to be fed to colonies.” The Harvard study is gaining traction elsewhere. Its results show a direct correlation between the amount of neonicotinoid pesticides colonies are exposed to and the survival rate of the colonies. Colonies around the world began to decline in 2006, not long after widespread use of neonicotinoid pesticides and coated seeds became common. Jager said a study could be done here to confirm if neonicotinoid pesticides on Vancouver Island are partially responsible for colony collapses. “Gardeners in their backyards, they’re buying stuff that could be an issue,” she said. “People need to be paying attention to what they’re buying. I recently read that a lot of commercial people are buying seed that’s coated and finding it’s not working as well as they need it to and they’re re-applying pesticides after the fact. Maybe we should be asking for seeds that aren’t coated and demanding that from industry.” Eighty per cent of all B.C. crops, including fruits, vegetables, nuts and soy, depend on bee pollination. reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

Dialogue aims to bring change in behaviour ◆ From /1 “When you’re dealing with a difficult subject, often finding creative ways to engage young people in the discussion makes them feel comfortable in talking about the issues,” said Letourneau. “The idea of photovoice is to allow the youth, through their eyes, to record how they see their community, what they’re experiencing, accompanied with a narrative of why they took a photo and what it means to them. It’s a great way for them to have a voice.” Panel member Jeremy Jones is First Nations and gay, and said while most Canadians believe they live in an open society, there is still a great deal of ignorance out there. “There’s a lot of homophobia in the world and I feel the need to change who I am in certain situations so I don’t get beat up,” he said. “Depriving myself of who I am is not the most uplifting feeling.” Jones, 26, said hate-motivated behaviour happens more often than people realize, and those who turn their back on the issue are almost as bad as those doing the targeting. But he has hope. “I really believe we have the potential to make a difference with this dialogue,” he said. “Not just on the day of the event, but continuing forward. Youth are going to be the movers and shakers of tomorrow and I believe we can change the world.” Leslie Puska, a panel member, has not been targeted, but has witnessed hate-motivated behaviour and is not hesitant to speak up against it. “It can affect a whole community,” she said. “There is always more than just one victim. The community that is suffering from it needs to do something about it, not ignore it.” At 28, Puska considers herself at the top end of the youth spectrum, but believes everyone can benefit from open dialogue. “It paves the way for more people to become inclusive,” she said. “Education is important, and to have young people educate others in the community on what’s happening is really important.” Seating for the seminar is limited, so please RSVP by e-mailing sletourneau@cvims.org or calling 250753-6911 ext.102.

But will ugly packaging make the difference? Some argue that diehard smokers who know the risks – and, seriously, who doesn’t? – will still ignore the graphic messages while others argue for blank packaging. Repackaging is probably good on principle, but is not likely to make much tangible difference, because smoking is just one of those things people do even though they know better. But it’s the intangible difference that could be most important. Experts note that successfully quitting smoking is as much about the individual’s mental preparedness to kick the habit as it is about the tools or method used to butt out. Diehard, longtime smokers might already know the risks, but anything that can add a little extra push and help bring them to a state of readiness to quit is worth the effort, particularly when the cost to the taxpayer is negligible. Ultimately, the more people who can be encouraged and assisted to give up smoking the better, considering the health impacts for the individual, and the resulting health costs for the taxpayer.

The Island Corridor Foundation, which owns the line, halted passenger service in 2011 due to safety concerns arising from the deteriorating condition of the tracks. I wrote about my hopes that this line remains a viable transportation alternative after the service was suspended. It not only serves residents (I’ve used it to travel to Victoria), but it also serves tourists. Many of my friends want to visit, then head south and visit other friends in Duncan or Victoria. And to save money, they don’t want to bring their car. Passenger rail will offer them a pleasant, scenic way of getting around. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Uncertainties demand BIA horn echoes hollow a calmer approach to climate change debate BY TOM HARRIS

Re: Religious right is wrong about climate change, Science Matters, March 29. Canadian professors Chris Essex and Ross McKitrick write in their book Taken by Storm, “Climate is one of the most challenging open problems in modern science. Some knowledgeable scientists believe that the climate problem can never be solved.” Creating rational public policy in the face of such uncertainty is challenging. It is therefore important that Canada’s climate experts are able to speak out without fear of retribution or sanction, regardless of their points of view. Sadly, the exact opposite is the case today. Emotions run high as the climate debate has become intensely polarized. Implications of bias and vested financial interests, as well as logical fallacies (errors in reasoning) have taken the place of meaningful consideration of the facts. Many of our country’s leading scientists therefore remain silent if their views are not politically correct. David Suzuki’s article provides a case in point. It is riddled with logical fallacies, distracting readers from thinking about the issue constructively. Here are examples: Ad Hominem (discredit the man, instead of the idea): By calling those on our side “climate change deniers”, Suzuki commits a logical fallacy often used to equate those who question climate change causes to Holocaust deniers. It is wrong as well since no one is denying that climate changes; only the causes are in dispute. “Climate change denier” is also a “thought-terminating cliché”. This logical fallacy appears when a phrase is used to quell an audience’s critical thinking and to allow the presenter to move, uncontested, to other topics. Guilt by association: That a specific viewpoint is promoted

by the “religious right” is irrelevant, unless one doesn’t like such groups and so, illogically, thinks what they say is therefore wrong. If one is influenced by this “guilt by association” fallacy, then how does someone who distrusts religious groups respond to the support of most mainstream churches for Suzuki’s position on climate change? Straw man (arguments based on misrepresentation of an opponent’s position): Such fallacies permeate Suzuki’s article. For example, politicians in Canada are not “anti-science”. If they were, they would never fly in an airplane, use cellphones or take vitamins. They are simply skeptical about Suzuki’s claims about climate. It is also a straw man argument to imply that anyone doubts “that the environment is real and that we depend on it for survival.” No one on either side of the debate is saying this. Red Herring/false analogy: Suzuki’s discussion of Tennessee’s approach to the teaching of evolution is irrelevant to climate change. Red Herrings like this are usually introduced to divert debate to an issue the speaker believes is easier to defend (or attack). Environment Minister Peter Kent recently suggested that Suzuki “chill”. I second the proposal. We need our country’s leaders to help the stage for a balanced and respectful discussion of this, one of the most important issues of our time. Considering what’s at risk – a human-induced eco-collapse if Suzuki and his allies are correct, or, if skeptics are right, a waste of trillions of dollars as we experiment with a worldwide switch to new, less reliable energy sources – the stakes are too high to do anything less. ◆ Tom Harris is executive director of the International Climate Science Coalition (www.climatescienceinternational.org).

are per block. Once those spaces are filled with a diversity of small merchants who can survive with or without growing extra taxes, then I’ll be patting bureaucrats back, but not until. At the core of this is how governments hate to withdraw a lucrative tax like the Downtown Nanaimo Improvement Levy once it has become entrenched. City council should demand its bureaucrats work a little

harder and not lighten their load by passing off the work of thinking up and implementing ideas on renewal onto a feeble subbureaucracy. It’s time to disband this sub-clique of city hall, repeal the tax, and re-acquire control over downtown improvements. If you were looking to cut something, this is the one. Nothing there to brag about. George Oliver Nanaimo

Co-operation needed on preservation effort

To the Editor Re: Linley Valley effort maintains pressure, April 7. It was very pleasing to hear that there is such good public support for protection of Linley Valley West. This property is such a beautiful jewel for the mid-Island area. What could be more precious to us, our children and grandchildren than protecting this beautiful land? We can relatively easily find room for development; however, once this property of 162 hectares has been drastically altered, it would take a very long time to be restored. City council seemed on the right path voting 8-1 for finding ways to explore ways of purchasing and protecting Linley Valley West. The sudden turn-around by the majority of councillors was indeed puzzling. Perhaps city council could find a way to work together with the property owners of Linley Valley West to come up with solutions favourable to all. There is a wonderful example further north on Vancouver Island in the Bowser area, where developers and environmentalists alike worked closely together to everyone’s satisfaction and deep appreciation. Further information can be obtained from the Nile Creek Enhancement Society – a group of very hard working residents who have gained community

Progress being made on provincial treaties To the Editor Re: Expert panel needed to analyze treaties, Letters, April 10. I understand that many people have concerns about the treaty process and the length of time it takes; but there are many good reasons to keep pursuing it.

Treaties provide certainty on the land base and give communities the ability to govern themselves and make vital choices about their own future. Treaties encourage investment, stimulate business activity and generate economic benefits for the First Nation and surrounding region. In fact, the cost of not settling treaties is far greater than the cost of treaty making. A PricewaterhouseCoopers study estimated that uncertainty surrounding unresolved aboriginal rights and land title could cost B.C. $1 billion in lost investment. Concerns about the length of time the process takes are valid, but there is plenty of reason for optimism: Last June, B.C. passed legislation to ratify the Yale First Nation Final Agreement. In October, Canada, B.C. and Tla’amin Nation (Sliammon First Nation) initialled their final agreement; and last month, the K’omoks First Nation signed their treaty agreement-in-principle. The progress we are seeing is good news for all British Columbians. By bringing certainty to land and resource rights, treaties maximize opportunities for economic development and job creation, for aboriginal and non-aboriginal families.

Realtors cover Habitat homes

Coast Realty Group has Habitat for Humanity Mid-Vancouver Island covered – literally. The Nanaimo real estate company pledged a three-year, $30,000 commitment to Habitat to help build roofs on three duplexes for six families. The donation is the first long-term corporate pledge Habitat has received since it began serving the Nanaimoarea in 1994. The 2012 portion will put a roof on a duplex, Habitat’s 11th and 12th homes, in mid-Vancouver Island. “Our Habitat affiliate is thrilled to partner with Coast Realty Group in a Raise the Roof campaign,” said Teresa Pring, Habitat executive direc-

Party props up refugee program An evening of music, food, dancing and fun goes a long way to support Vancouver Island University’s student refugee program. Part of the World University Service of Canada project, the program helps former refugees, mainly from Africa and Asia, pursue studies in Canada and become a permanent resident. Many have fled their countries due to persecution, discrimination and violence. “[These] students are our sources of inspiration and motivation,” said Celia White, VIU program co-chairwoman. “Their life stories, their knowledge of world issues and their commitment to pursue their dreams inspires all of us to

do our share as global citizens.” The VIU World University Service of Canada committee has sponsored four students through the p ro g r a m , h o s t i n g fundraising initiatives throughout the year to cover costs. The group is hosting Harambee – an evening of dance, African music, a four-course meal, a silent auction and fair-trade sales – April 28 at Costin Hall, 7232 Lantzville Rd. Tickets are $55, $40 for students and $475 for a table of 10. Tax receipts will be available on request. For more information, please call 250758-3834, e-mail wusc. viu@gmail.com, or go to Facebook at www. facebook.com/VIUWUSC.

Romancing the keys Couple duels with pianos at symphony concert BY ROSEMARY PHILLIPS

PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Elizabeth and Marcel Bergmann perform with the Vancouver Island Symphony Saturday (April 21) compositions that will see the couple duel on piano.

fter years of moving from one country to another, one city to another, piano duo Elizabeth and Marcel Bergmann have settled down and bought a house in White Rock for themselves and their two babies – the Yamaha and Kawai grand pianos. Elizabeth was encouraged by her parents to pursue music growing up in Medicine Hat, Alta. In addition to piano lessons, she also took a year of violin and guitar, played flute and had voice lessons. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, in Germany, Marcel was growing up in a household filled with thousands of books. “He knew he wanted to do something in the arts or literature, and it was when he was about 16 that he realized he wanted to study music,” Elizabeth said. Marcel taught himself guitar, took half a year of cello and studied saxophone as his second instrument during his undergraduate music studies. Elizabeth’s parents, of German descent, suggested she go to Hannover to study at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater. You guessed it. That’s where Marcel and Elizabeth met. “Marcel and I accompanied each other for concerti. I also had a trio with flute and cello and we had an opportunity to go to Greece for summer classes and to play with an orchestra. When it came time to prepare a concerto our teacher suggested Marcel and I do a double concerto. That was the first time we played together as a duo; the Bach C minor piano concerto with an orchestra – in Greece. When we got back to Germany we decided to learn the meat and potatoes of duo-piano playing. In fact, we were the first in Hannover to establish a new program of study for duo piano. We were like pioneers that way.” During their 17 years of mar-

riage they have moved from Germany to Montreal then back to Germany and the Solistenklassae, and Calgary, where they met Pierre Simard, artistic director for the Vancouver Island Symphony. Elizabeth and Marcel perform with Nanaimo’s symphony Saturday (April 21) in Carnival, where they perform one of their favourites, the Concerto for Two Pianos by Francis Poulenc. “It’s so much fun, with so much energy and rhythmic vitality – short phrases, snippets, witty. The second movement is literally a French modern day Mozart in character.” Elizabeth and Marcel return to the stage after intermission for the imaginative and sensational Carnival of Animals composed by Camille Saint-Saëns. “We have done it many times in many different ways. The music is so beautiful, the most famous piece being the beloved Swan,” she said. “Saint-Saëns is referring tongue in cheek to pianists as being like animals, in an isolated life, sitting in a cage practising alone. I think that’s why we were drawn to duo piano playing. We love being together rehearsing, and sharing those very special moments on stage.” When not duelling on stage, the couple keeps busy with several musical projects. “We play with orchestras, solo as a duo, and have performed chamber music with other artists. Marcel also plays jazz, improvises and composes. We have a contemporary repertoire with Lands End, a chamber ensemble in Calgary. And we have expanded our duo repertoire, with new interpretations and twists. We also play our own repertoire. I don’t compose,” laughs Elizabeth. “Marcel is the composer – I cook and clean for the composer.” The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets $52; $49/seniors; $20/students.

All of them are considered family to us and loved by us all. Gary made many a true friend throughout his life living & working in the Nanaimo area. He spoke with us, his family, recalling stories and good times he had with all of you, how you all touched his heart in some way, wanting the boys to know to keep in touch with as many of you as possible. Thank you for being part of his life. As per Garyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes, there will be no funeral or memorial service. Please keep him in your hearts and prayers as you will be in ours.

Westerns get better already

GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Whalley Chiefs baserunner Hayden Malcolm, left, is safe at first as Nanaimo Pirates pitcher Justin Clarkson, middle, can’t snag g a throw from first baseman Chris Faber. The Pirates swept the weekend’s B.C. Premier Baseball League action, winning four straight home games.

Pirates pick up pace with four wins I BCPBL TEAM sweeps games at Serauxmen.

BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

Last year’s pennant winners showed they intend to be in the race again this season. The Nanaimo Hub City Paving Pirates (5-1)

won all four of their games on the weekend at Serauxmen Stadium. Nanaimo defeated the Victoria Eagles on Saturday by scores of 8-2 and 3-1, then beat the Whalley Chiefs 11-1 and 2-1 the next day. After Sunday’s mercyrule-shortened victory, the Pirates said they might have come out a little cocky in the second half of the doubleheader

against the Chiefs. “It was a struggle to get through it, but not every game is going to be 11-1 and casual,” said Doug Rogers, Pirates manager. “There’s going to be battles.” The game was tied 1-1 from the second inning to the seventh. In the bottom of the seventh, the Pirates strung together a walk, a passed ball, a sacrifice bunt and then

a game-winning sac fly from Braeden Mousseau. “We didn’t execute the way we wanted to in some situations, but we came through in the clutch and that’s what matters,” said Mousseau. The manager liked how the Pirates executed the game plan in that final inning. “You do that every inning, you’d win 7-0 and

how nice would that be?” Rogers asked. So the goal for the Pirates will be to try to pin down wins without having to wait for finalinning heroics. “If we can get the execution done in the early innings, the rest of the game we’ll just be rolling through,” said Colby Morgan, Pirates veteran. ◆ See ‘PIRATES’ /30

The Western Canada Cup tournament just got a lot more intense, and it’s still a full year away. The Nanaimo Clippers, host of the 2013 junior A hockey event, announced a playoff format that may be unique in hockey. Since the Westerns need to qualify two teams to Royal Bank Cup nationals, the WCC will be contested under a page playoff common in curling. Following the semifinals of the five-team tournament, the losers of the semis will face off and the winner of that game will challenge the loser of the championship game. The schedule was devised by Kyle Anderson, the Clippers’ manager of game-day operations. “I think it makes for an amazing tournament,” he said. “There’s not going to be a single game in there that means nothing. Teams are going to fight to the end.” Under a traditional hockey tournament format, the final would be somewhat meaningless because both finalists would have already qualified for nationals. Anderson said Clippers coach Mike Vandekamp made a comment that if his team made it to the final, he would play his backup goalie and call-up players. ◆ See ‘HOCKEY’ /29

Home-run happy Mariners win twice

VIBI TAKES two of four on road trip to Kamloops.

The VIBI Mariners are knocking the cover off the ball these days, and it’s helping them win games. Nanaimo’s Vancouver Island Baseball Institute won two of four Canadian College Baseball Conference games in Kamloops on the weekend.

VIBI started with a 6-5 loss to the Okanagan Coyotes and a 5-1 win over Thompson Rivers on Saturday. On Sunday the M’s lost 6-3 to TRU but finished with a 7-2 win over Okie. “There’s a good flow in our offensive lineup right now,” said Jordan Blundell, VIBI manager. “Guys are feeding off each other and that’s great to see.” The M’s homered in every game of the weekend, with Cody Andreychuk going

yard three times and Thomas Bidzinski also hitting one out. The first game, Andreychuk had three RBIs to go with his homer. Liam Goodall had three hits; Bidzinski had two. In the second contest Andreychuk had a home run and two RBIs but the game might have been most notable for a standout pitching performance from Connor Russell. He gave up a hit to the first batter he faced, but

didn’t give TRU anything else, allowing no earned runs while striking out 11 over seven innings. Matt Davis earned the ‘W’ on the mound in the weekend finale. Andreychuk had a single and double to go with his home run and Goodall and Jeremy Harasymchuk had two hits apiece. GAME ON … VIBI is at home against the Coyotes on Saturday (April 21) and Sunday at Serauxmen Stadium. For game times, see page 30.

Hockey tournament gets ‘three Game 7s’ ◆ From /28 “In that situation, if you win that semifinal, you go to the final, and yeah, the final’s for the trophy, but I don’t think that you’d see the best lineups on the ice,” Kyle Anderson said. Now that won’t be a problem, as every game of the tournament comes with a reward. Even the round-robin games take on added importance because the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds out of the round robin will find themselves in a situation where they need to lose twice in

the playoff round to be eliminated. But it’s those last two days of do-or-die hockey that have organizers most excited. “During the final weekend, fans are going to be treated to probably the three best hockey games that they may ever see,” Anderson said. “They’re essentially three Game 7s.” ICE CHIPS … Ticket packages for the Western Canada Cup are currently available only to Nanaimo Clippers season ticket holders. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Inbrief

Pirates’ power sparks victory

◆ From /28 The weekend started with some fireworks as the Pirates blasted off against the Victoria Eagles. Brendan McCarthy hit a home run, a double and supplied two RBIs in the win and Chris Faber had three hits including a two-RBI double. Colby Morgan had two hits and an RBI and Bryan Odgers hit a single and a double. Luke Skingle was the winning pitcher, striking out five batters and allowing four hits in a complete game. The second game McCarthy again paced the offence with a single, double and an RBI. Griffin Andreychuk also doubled and Morgan threw a complete game for the win. Sunday’s blowout saw contributions from up and down the lineup. Morgan was 2-for-2 at the plate with three runs scored, McCarthy was 2-for-2 with two

walks and Andreychuk also had two hits. Justin Clarkson tripled, Odgers doubled and Ben Dunbar walked three times. Pitcher Alex Rogers got the ‘W’ after allowing two hits over six innings. I n t h e we e ke n d finale, Braeden Mousseau also had a hit and a walk to go with his sac fly. Ryan Smith and Dunbar each reached base twice. Clarkson threw a complete game, striking out nine batters. Mousseau said sweeping four games is a confidence-builder. “It’s good that we can prove to ourselves that we can do that and we’re looking forward to doing that for the rest of the year,” he said. GAME ON … The Pirates play two games this coming weekend, both on the road Saturday (April 21) at Abbotsford. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

A win’s a win for U21 United Nanaimo United’s U21 men’s soccer team had an easy time of it on the first weekend of B.C. Soccer’s Province Cup playdowns. The Norvan Saints forfeited a game that was supposed to be played Sunday at Merle Logan Field, so it goes in the books as a 1-0 win for United. Nanaimo advances to face the Port Moody Gunners on Saturday (April 21) on the mainland. Moody beat the Port Coquitlam Rovers 2-0 on Saturday. Out of the eight teams to make it through the first weekend of playdowns, four are from the Vancouver Island Soccer League.

Dover wrestler secures bronze Nanaimo’s Kimberly van Hest finished another strong season as third best in the country on the wrestling mat. The Dover Bay grappler pinned down a podium finish in a tough weight class at nationals in New Brunswick, said coach Andrew Tuck in a press release. “Her bronze medal bout was a nail biter in which she had to come from behind and surprise her opponent with a spectacular pin,” he said. It was the secondstraight national bronze medal for van Hest. Also showing well from Dover Bay was Faye Tuck, who finished in fourth place while only losing to one opponent.
